property located at 4300 & 4301 Vineyard Creek Drive, platted as Tracts 1 & 2 Blocks 1
& 2, Vineyard Creek Estates.
Section 60.F.4 "Sign Standards" Maximum Height. The applicant requested a
special exception to allow the placement of two (2) subdivision signs and two (2)
architectural features.

�r Mr. Triplett went on to explain that the applicant had revised the original request
presented to the Board on August 4, 2014 by reducing the quantity and height of
architectural features. Specifically, two (2) architectural entry features were proposed in
the form of two (2) ten feet in height columns located at the Hall Johnson Road
entrance. An approximate twelve (12) square foot subdivision sign was designed into
the base of the two (2) columns on Hall Johnson Road. The total area allowed for
subdivision signs was 60-square feet. The combined area for the (2) finro proposed
subdivision signs adjacent to Hall Johnson were 24-square feet: an increase of three-
feet (3') from the previous request.
With no questions for Mr. Triplett, applicant Zachary Motley, of 734 San Diego Trail, Fort
Worth, 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.

Adjustment to approve the remodeling and lor enlargement of a nonconforming

yard open space requirement.
Mr. Triplett went on to explain that on June 2, 2014 Board of Zoning Adjustment
approved a special exception allowing the existing structure and property to remain as
developed along with an expansion. The new office expansion proposed was 725
square feet larger than originally approved on June 2, 2014. To accommodate the
proposed improvements, a conditional use and special exception request were required.
The revised conditional use was approved on first reading by the Site Plan Review
Committee at their August 4, 2014 meeting. The second reading was scheduled for
September 3, 2014 contingent upon approval by the Board.
� With no questions for Mr. Triplett, applicant Brandon Middleton, of 801 Cherry Street,
Fort Worth, Texas, took the Oath of Truth; he gave a brief presentation to the Board and

(4') allowing an average lot depth of 96-feet (96') for an existing lot.

Board from 1993-2011 had approved variances to lot depth, as well as front and rear
� yard encroachments. He also stated that the property owner intended to demolish the
existing dwelling and construct a new dwelling that would meet all requirements of the
Zoning Ordinances.

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.

Drive took the Oath of Truth: they expressed concerns regarding the required twenty-
five (25') rear yard setback.

developed property existed to the north, south east and west respectively eliminating
the possibility to expand the lot.
