PUBLIC HEARING
BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA15-03, NEAL COOPERi 526 EAST
WORTH STREET
The first item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA15-03 submitted
by Neal Cooper representing property owner Marty Watkins for property located at 526
East Worth Street, platted as Lot 7, Block 110, College Heights 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 500-
sqaure feet allowing a lot area of 7,000 square feet for an existing 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 fifteen-feet (15')
allowing a lot width of fifty (50') feet for an existing lot.
Section 15.G.1, "R-7.5" Single Family District, Area Regulations requires a
minimum front yard setback of 30-feet. The applicant requested a variance of eight
� feet (8'), allowing a front yard setback along the north property line of 22-feet.
Mr. Triplett explained that Staff found a special condition existed for the requested
variances to lot area and lot width. Specifically, the subject site was originally platted in
� 1921 predating the City's first zoning ordinance adopted in 1955. Developed and platted
property and right-of-way existed adjacent to the subject site, on the west, east, south
and north property lines respectively, eliminating the possibility to expand the site to
meet the area and width requirements.
Staff found no special condition for the requested variance to encroach into the required
front yard setback.
Mr. Triplett went on to explain that the subject site was unimproved and the applicant
intended to build an approximate 2,796 square foot single story dwelling as shown on
the plot plan. A Certificate of Appropriateness (CA15-14) had been approved by the
Historic Preservation Commission on February 25, 2015.
With no questions for Mr. Triplett, Neil Cooper, representing property owner Marty
Watkins of 613 East Texas 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.
