Section 43.E.3., Nonconforming Uses and Structures allows the Board of Zoning Adjustment to approve the remodeling and/or enlargement of a nonconforming use. The applicant requested a special exception to demolish the existing non-residential structure and construct a new convenience store as shown on the plot plan. Mr. Triplett explained that Staff found a special condition existed for the special exception and variances. Specifically, the site was developed and had been in existence since 1980. Currently and as proposed the site was noncompliant with the current zoning ordinance (82-73) relative to open space, maximum impervious area, front yard setback, side yard setback, rear yard setback, perimeter and site landscape area would remain noncompliant with the current zoning ordinance. Mr. Triplett explained that on April 2, 2012 the Board of Zoning Adjustment approved finro (2) variances for lot width and area and a special exception to address a proposed new convenience store. Among the improvements proposed to the subject site, was the construction of a new 3,395 square foot convenience store that was 500-square feet larger than what was presented to the Board April 2, 2012. To accommodate the proposed improvements, a conditional use application and special exception requests � were required. The revised conditional use request was approved on first reading by the Site Plan Review Committee at their June 6, 2012 meeting. The second reading was scheduled for July 11, 2012 contingent upon a favorable approval by the Board. 2 BoarC ot ZoNng AEjustment �/2I,2 With no questions for Mr. Triplett, Jase Huffman, representing property owner Anwar Dossani of 915 North Nolan River Road, Cleburne, Texas, took the Oath of Truth; and � requested favorable consideration of his request and offered to answer any questions of the Board. With no questions for Mr. Huffman and no additional speakers, Robert Rainwater made a motion to close the public hearing. Ron Cook seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Holt, Cook, White, Rainwater, DeAngelo Nays: None Absent: Dalton Robert Rainwater made a motion that a special condition existed for the special exception requested. Specifically, the site was developed and had been in existence since 1980. Currently and as proposed the site was noncompliant with the current zoning ordinance (82-73) relative to open space, maximum impervious area, front yard setback, side yard setback, rear yard setback, perimeter and site landscape area would remain noncompliant with the current zoning ordinance.

Ron Cook seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Holt, Cook, White, Rainwater, DeAngelo Nays: None Absent: Dalton BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA12-05, CLYDENE JOHNSON, 812 WEST SUNSET STREET The next item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA12-05 submitted by Clydene Johnson for property located at 812 West Sunset Street, proposed to be platted as Lot 1, Block 1, Johnson Addition. Section 15.F.2., "R-7.5" Single Family District, Density Requirements, requires a minimum lot area of 7,500 square feet. The applicant requested a variance of 554-square feet, allowing a lot area of 6,946 square feet for a proposed lot. � Section 15.G.1., "R-7.5" Single Family District, Area Regulations requires a minimum front yard of 30-feet. 3 �bo«ri��;�� ,l2/,2 The applicant requested a variance of ten-feet (10') allowing a front yard setback of 20- feet for a proposed lot. � Section 15.G.4., "R-7.5" Single Family District, Area Regulations requires a minimum lot width of 65-feet. The applicant requested a variance of five-feet (5') allowing a lot width of 60-feet for a proposed lot. Mr. Triplett explained that Staff found a special condition existed for the requested variances. Specifically, the dwelling which existed prior to demolition was built in 1947 which predated the City's first zoning ordinance adopted in 1955. Developed property existed to the north, east, and west, eliminating the possibility of expanding the lot to meet the lot width, and area requirements. He explained that the platting requirement for the subject site required 650-square feet of right-of-way dedications which reduced the lot depth approximately 11-feet from 126- feet to 115-feet. The previous dwelling was less than 22-feet to the existing curb and that the platting requirement along with the required 30-foot front yard setback created a hardship for the property. With no further questions for Mr. Triplett, Ken Johnson of 520 Dooley Court, Grapevine, Texas, took the Oath of Truth; and requested favorable consideration of his request and offered to answer any questions of the Board. �► Chairman Holt announced that two (2) letters of approval had been received. With no questions for Mr. Johnson and no additional speakers, Robert Rainwater made a motion to close the public hearing.

Section 43.E.3., Nonconforming Uses and Structures allows the Board of Zoning Adjustment to approve the remodeling and/or enlargement of a nonconforming use. The applicant requested a special exception to allow the existing residential structure to remain as developed and a new porte-cochere and garage to be constructed as shown on the plot plan. Mr. Triplett explained that Staff found a special condition existed for the requested �r special exception. Specifically, the existing dwelling was built in 1953, predating the City's first zoning ordinance adopted in 1955 and proposed improvements would not increase the level of nonconformance to the subject site. He explained that the subject site was an existing developed lot with a dwelling and an attached carport that approximately encroached three-feet (3') and five-feet (5') respectively into the required side yard setback along the west property line. And a small detached accessory structure in the rear yard. He stated that the applicant proposed to remove the existing attached carport, convert existing living space into a porte-cochere. The detached accessory structure would be removed and replaced with an 842-square foot detached garage, approximately six-feet (6') from the rear property line on the south side (rear) of the existing dwelling. He went on to state that the Historic Preservation Commission at their March 28, 2012 meeting approved CA12-12 allowing for the conversion of the original one car garage to a porte-cochere and a new detached garage in the rear yard. With no questions for Mr. Triplett, Eason Maykus of 608 Chapel Court, Southlake, Texas, took the Oath of Truth; he requested favorable consideration of his request and offered to answer any questions of the Board. Ron Cook asked Mr. Maykus if the new concrete driveway would be accessed through �,,, the porte-cochere. And if the garage could be relocated further to the east. Mr. Maykus stated that the concrete driveway would be accessed through the porte-cochere and would allow room to turn around and the garage could possibly be relocated but would 5 �ab o«ri��;�,� �a�,z be inconvenient for pulling vehicles straight into the garage. He went on to say that the pitch of the roof for the proposed garage would match the existing residence. � Debbie Holt asked why the garage was so large. Mr. Maykus stated that it would be used for parking a boat and truck. The extra space on the east side of the garage was for storage due to loosing approximately 450 square feet of the residence. With no further questions for Mr. Maykus, Shawn Ellen Reeves of 401 West College Street, Grapevine Texas, took the Oath of Truth; she gave a brief presentation to the Board concerning the size and setbacks for the detached garage. With no questions for Ms. Reeves, Wayne Boydston of 1309 McCrae, Southlake, Texas, took the Oath of Truth; he explained to the Board that they intended to improve the neighborhood. He stated that the property was purchased for his son, not for use as rental property. He requested favorable consideration of his request and offered to answer any questions of the Board. With no questions for Mr. Boydston, Koss Maykus of 608 Chapel Court, Southlake, Texas, took the Oath of Truth; he explained to the Board that they were not there seeking a variance for the detached garage, stating that all codes the city required to construct the detached garage were being met. He explained that with the elimination of a 400 square foot carport a 280 square foot detached garage and no attic space the extra square footage in the detached garage was necessary for storage space. With no further questions for Mr. Maykus, Shawn Ellen Reeves of 401 West College � Street, Grapevine Texas, readdressed the Board clarifying her concerns regarding the detached garage. Chairman Holt announced that one (2) letter of opposition had been received. With no questions for Ms. Reeves, and no additional speakers, Robert Rainwater made a motion to close the public hearing.

Section 15.F.2., "R-7.5" Single Family District, Density Requirements, requires a minimum lot area of 7,500 square feet. The applicant requested a variance of 500-square feet, allowing a lot area of 7,000 square feet for an existing lot.

The applicant requested a variance of ten-feet (10') allowing a side yard setback along the western property line of five-feet (5') for the proposed structure. Mr. Triplett explained that Staff found a special condition existed for the requested variances.

The existing dwelling was built in 1900 with an existing side yard depth of five feet (5') on the west property line as shown on the survey.
