PUBLIC HEARING BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA14-10, THOMAS O'MALLEY, 218 AUSTIN STREET The first item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA14-10 submitted by Thomas O'Malley, for property located at 218 Austin Street, platted as N1/2 of Lots 7 & 8, Block 102, College Heights Addition. Section 15.F.2, "R-7.5" Single Family District, Density Requirements, requires a minimum lot size 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. Section 15.G.1, "R-7.5" Single Family District, Area Regulations, requires a minimum front yard setback of thirty (30') feet. The applicant requested a variance �,,. of sixteen (16') feet, allowing a front yard setback of fourteen (14') feet for an existing lot.

The applicant requested a variance of twenty five (25') � feet allowing a lot width of seventy (70') feet for an existing lot.

Mr. Triplett explained that Staff found a special condition existed for the variances requested. Specifically, original Lots 7 and 8, Block 102 of College Heights Addition were originally platted in 1909, predating the City's first zoning ordinance adopted in 1955. The site was an existing developed lot, and the existing structure was built in 1958 prior to the rezoning of the subject site in the 1984 City Rezoning to "R-7.5" Single Family District. An alley, right-of-way and developed platted property exist adjacent to the subject site, eliminating the possibility to expand the site. He went on to explain to the Board that existing dwellings south of the subject site were setback at various depths ranging from approximately eight (8') feet to finrenty-two (22') feet and front yard encroachments were not inconsistent with what currently existed along this portion of Austin Street. He stated that the owner intended to construct a 1,216 square foot addition, as well as a 650 square foot detached garage that Historic Preservation Commission had approved a Certificate of Appropriateness for on March 26, 2014. � With no questions for Mr. Triplett, applicant Thomas O'Malley, of 231 Austin Street, Grapevine, Texas, took the Oath of Truth; he gave a brief presentation to the Board and requested favorable consideration of his request and offered to answer any questions of the Board. With no questions for Mr. O'Malley and no additional speakers, Robert Rainwater made a motion to close the public hearing.
