PUBLIC HEARING
BOARD OF ZONING AD_ JUSTMENT CASE BZA16 -01, RICK BLAZEK, 234 E.
FRANKLIN STREET
The first item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA16 -01 submitted
by Rick Blazek for property located at 234 East Franklin Street, platted as Lot 2C & 3A,
Block 31, City of Grapevine.
Section 15.G.4., "R -7.5" Single Family District, Area Regulations, requires a
minimum lot width of ninety -five (95) feet. The applicant requested a variance of
twenty -nine feet (29') allowing a lot width of sixty six -feet (66') for an existing lot.
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 allowing the existing residential
structure to remain as developed along with an expansion as shown on the plot plan.
Mr. Triplett explained that Staff found special conditions existed for the requested
special exception and variances. Specifically, the subject site was originally platted in
1913 predating the City's first zoning ordinance adopted in 1955. Developed property
and right -of -way existed to the west and east respectively, eliminating the possibility to
expand the site to meet the width requirements. The existing dwelling was built in 1925
predating the City's first zoning ordinance adopted in 1955.
Mr. Triplett stated that on June 1, 2015 the Board of Zoning Adjustment had approved a
special exception and variance of thirty five -feet (35') allowing a lot width of 60 -feet (60')
on the subject site. As a result of a recent form board survey dated December 15, 2015
of the subject site, the width of the property had increased approximately six -feet (6)
from 60 -feet to 66.88 -feet, necessitating a new special exception and variance request.
Mr. Triplett went on to explain that on April 22, 2015 Historic Preservation Commission
approved a Certificate of Appropriateness to construct an addition, bedroom, porch and
covered terrace as well as a second story addition containing a bedroom, den and an
attached single car garage and a single car covered carport at the rear of the property.
With no questions for Mr. Triplett, Josh Archer, representing property owner Rick Blazek
of 8233 Mid Cities Boulevard #A, North Richland Hills, Texas, took the Oath of Truth; he
requested favorable consideration of the request and offered to answer any questions of
the Board.
Chairman Holt asked what would be done with the curb cut on Franklin Street once the
approach was constructed on Smith Street. He stated that it was undecided at this time,
possibly gravel, but no concrete that would affect the impervious coverage.
Ron Stombaugh clarified, that any future changes to the parking area in front of the
house relative to it being gravel would have to be approved by the Historic Preservation
Commission.
Chairman Holt announced that one (1) letter of approval had been received.
With no further questions for Mr. Archer and no additional speakers, Robert Rainwater
made a motion to close the public hearing. George Dalton seconded the motion which
prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes:
Holt, Rainwater, White, Dalton, Morris
Nays:
None
Absent:
None
Ken White made a motion that a special condition existed for the requested special
exception and variance. Specifically, the subject site was originally platted in 1913
predating the City's first zoning ordinance adopted in 1955. Developed property and
right -of -way existed adjacent to the subject site to the west and east respectively,
eliminating the possibility to expand the site to meet the width requirements. Robert
Rainwater seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes:
Holt, Rainwater, White, Dalton, Morris
Nays:
None
Absent:
None

existing lot; and a motion to grant a special exception with regard to Section 43.E.3.,
Nonconforming Uses and Structures allowing the existing residential structure to remain
as developed along with an expansion as shown on the plot plan. Robert Rainwater
