PUBLIC HEARING BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA09-09, SUZANNE GRIFFETH, 501 SMITH STREET The first item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA09-09 submitted by Suzanne Griffeth, for property located at 501 Smith Street, legally described as Lot 1 R, Block 30, Original Towne of Grapevine. Section 15.G.1., "R-7.5" Single Family District, Area Regulations requires a minimum front yard setback of thirty-feet (30'). The applicant requested a variance and if approved by the Board would allow a front yard setback of twenty-feet (20') for an existing lot. Section 42.D., Supplementary District, Corner Lots, requires the side yard setback on a street to be the same as the required minimum front yard setback of thirty- � feet (30'). The applicant requested a variance and if approved by the Board would allow a side yard setback on a street (Franklin Street) of six-feet (6') for an existing lot. Mr. Triplett explained that Staff found a special condition existed for the requested variances. Specifically, the dwelling was built in 1959 and the subject site was platted in � 1913 predating the City's first zoning ordinance adopted in 1955. Mr. Triplett stated that the owner intended to expand the living area, front porch, add a new garage, carport and detached accessory structure. The proposed expansion along the west or Smith Street side of the subject site would add 185-square feet, including porch and living area into the required front yard setback. Encroachments into the front " yard along Smith Street included the dwelling and front porch at 10-feet and approximately 9-feet respectFully. He further explained that because the subject site was a corner lot and backed up to a developed lot, the side yard along Franklin Street became a front yard for purposes of setback. No expansion was proposed to the dwelling along the Franklin Street side. An existing accessory structure would be removed and replaced with a new accessory structu re. With no questions for Mr. Triplett, Josh Archer of M.J. Architects, representing property owner Suzanne Griffeth of 6933 Driffield Circle, North Richland Hills, Texas, took the Oath of Truth; he explained to the Board that the homeowner was proposing an addition to her home for additional living square footage, an attached garage and carport, and to also replace an existing accessory building. He explained the variance they requested was for a ten-foot (10') setback on the front facing Smith Street, extending the porch further south to tie in the garage and carport with the existing structure. He stated that � the addition would not encroach any closer to the street than the existing structure, staying in line with the existing porch. He went on to say that there design was approved from the Historic Preservation Department, and the new design would improve the look of the house from the street, stating the home currently had a flat roof, and a gable roof would be construced. In regards to the accessory building, it was within the parameters of the building setback requirements. He offered to answer any questions of the Board and requested favorable consideration of his request. Ron Cook asked the applicant if this would be a usable garage. He stated that the attached garage would be a two car garage, and the attached carport would allow for a third car. Debbie Holt asked if the accessory building would be air conditioned. He stated that there are no plans at this time for it to be air conditioned. Ms. Holt also asked if plumbing would be added, he stated that they were not into the planning stage of the accessory building at this time, but there would possibly be a utility sink.
