PUBLIC HEARING BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA15-10, NEAL COOPER, 209 AUSTIN STREET The first item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA15-10 submitted by Neal Cooper for property located at 209 Austin Street, platted as south half of Lots 1 & 2, Block 101, College Heights. 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 1,068 sqaure feet allowing a lot area of 6,432 square feet for an existing lot. Section 15.G.4., "R-7.5" Single Family District, Area Regulations, requires a minimum lot width of 95-feet. The applicant requested a variance of thirty-one feet (31') allowing a lot width of sixty-four (64') feet 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. The � applicant requested a variance of fifteen (15') feet allowing a side yard setback of fifteen (15') feet along the south property line for an existing lot. Mr. Triplett explained that Staff found a special condition existed for the requested variances. Specifically, the subject site was originally platted in 1921, predating the � City's first zoning ordinance adopted in 1955. The site was an existing developed lot, and the existing structure was built in 1912 prior to the rezoning of the subject site in the 1984 City Rezoning to "R-7.5" Single Family District. Developed and platted property and right-of-way existed adjacent to the subject site, eliminating the possibility to expand the site to meet the area and width requirements. Mr. Triplett stated that the proposed south side yard setback adjacent to East Estill Street of fifteen-feet (15') did not exacerbate the existing side yard setback of fourteen- feet (14'). He went on to explain that the owner intended to demolish an existing dwelling and detached garage and construct a two-story, 3,086 square foot Folk- Victorian style house and a 477 square foot detached garage east of the dwelling in the rear yard. The Historic Preservation Commission approve a Certificate of Appropriateness on July 22, 2015. With no questions for Mr. Triplett, Neal Cooper 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. With no questions for Mr. Cooper and no additional speakers, Robert Rainwater made a motion to close the public hearing.
