PUBLIC HEARING
BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA16-18 SPRY SURVEYORS
300 WEST COLLEGE STREET
The first item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA16-18 submitted
by Spry Surveyors for property located at 300 West College Street, platted as Lot 1 R,
Block 1, First United Methodist Church.
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 as shown on the plot plan.
Mr. Triplett explained that Staff found a special condition existed for the special
exception requested. Specifically, a Move-In-Building (MIB96-05) permit was approved
on the subject site for the current structure on February 18, 1997. Based upon a current
survey the existing site was noncompliant with the current Zoning Ordinance (82-73)
relative to the required front yard setback adjacent to West College Street and the
required side yard setback adjacent to South Church Street.
With no questions for Mr. Triplett, Mark Howell, representing First United Methodist
Church, of 3100 Terrace Brook Court, Colleyville, 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. Howell, and no additional speakers, Ken White made a motion
to close the public hearing. George Dalton seconded the motion which prevailed by the
following vote:
Ayes: Holt, White, Dalton, Morris, Dierolf
Nays: None
Absent: None

BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA16-19, SPRY SURVEYORS
314 WEST COLLEGE STREET
The next item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA16-19 submitted
by Spry Surveyors for property located at 314 West College Street, platted as Lot 1 R-2,
Block 1, First United Methodist Church.
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 as shown on the plot plan.
Mr. Triplett explained that Staff found a special condition existed for the special
exception requested. Specifically, the subject site was an existing developed lot, and
the existing structure was built approximately in the early 1900's, predating the City's
first zoning ordinance adopted in 1955. The existing site was noncompliant with the
current Zoning Ordinance (82-73) relative to front yard setback requirement.
With no questions for Mr. Triplett, Mark Howell, representing First United Methodist
Church addressed the board; he requested favorable consideration of his request and
offered to answer any questions of the Board.
Ken White asked Mr. Howell if there were plans to remodel the interior of the residence,
he stated the church had plans to re-plat the properties so they could put them on the
market to sell. He stated that once the Board of Zoning Adjustment and re-plat process
were completed the parking lot behind the structures would be removed to create a rear
yard. The church would then put the residence on the market to sell. The new property
owners would have to complete the process of any remodeling of the property.

BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA16-20, NEAL COOPER 626 EAST
WAL STREET
The next item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA16-20 submitted
by Neal Cooper for property located at 626 East Wall Street, platted as Lot 7, Block 101,
College Heights Addition.
Section 151.2., "R-7.5" Single Family District, Density Requirements, requires a
minimum lot area of 7,500 square feet. The applicant requested a variance of 938-
sqaure feet allowing a lot area of 6,562 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 42.D., Supplementary District, Corner Lots requires the side yard setback
of fifteen-feet (15') for corner lots which are not reverse frontage lots.
The applicant requested a variance of five (6) feet allowing a side yard of ten feet (10')
feet along the east property line for an existing lot.
4 Board of Zoning Adjustment
09/12/2016
Mr. Triplett explained that Staff found a special condition existed for the requested
variances. Specifically, the subject lot 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, north, east and south property lines
respectively, eliminating the possibility to expand the site to meet the area and width
requirements. The existing dwelling was built in 1937 with an existing side yard depth of
ten-feet (10) on the east property line. Strictly adhering to the side yard setback of
fifteen-feet (15') for the east property line will limit the buildable width of the lot to twenty
nine-feet (29'), which is impractical for compatible new home construction within this
area of the city. The proposed expansion would not exacerbate the existing
nonconforming conditions.
With no questions for Mr. Triplett, Neil 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, Ken White made a motion
to close the public hearing. Mike Morris seconded the motion which prevailed by the
following vote:
Ayes: Holt, White, Dalton, Morris, Dierolf
Nays: None
