PUBLIC HEARING BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA16-14, NEAL COOPER, 525 EAST WORTH STREET The first item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA16-14 submitted by Neal Cooper for property located at 525 East Worth Street, platted as Lot 7, Block 108, 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 512 square feet, allowing a lot area of 6,988 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. Mr. Triplett explained that Staff found a special condition existed for the variances requested. Specifically, the lot was originally platted in 1921 predating the City's first zoning ordinance adopted in 1955. Developed property, an alley and right-of-way existed to the east, west, north and south respectively, eliminating the possibility to expand the site to meet the area and width requirements. Mr. Triplett stated that the applicant intended to construct a new one and one-half story 3,335 square feet dwelling including an attached rear entry garage, covered front porch and covered patio on the subject site as shown on the plot plan. On May 25, 2016 the Grapevine Historic Preservation Commission approved CA16-50 for the new construction. 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. Chairman Holt announced that one (1) letter of approval had been received. With no questions for Mr. Cooper, and no additional speakers, Robert Rainwater made a motion to close the public hearing. Mike Morris 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 variances requested. Specifically, the lot was originally platted in 1921 predating the City's first zoning ordinance adopted in 1955. Developed property, an alley and right-of-way existed to the east, west, north and south respectively, eliminating the possibility to expand the site to meet the area and width requirements. Robert Rainwater seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Holt, Rainwater, White, Dalton, Morris Nays: None Absent: None Ken White then made a motion to grant the following variances to "R-7.5" Single Family District, Density Requirements: Section 15.F.2., allowing a lot area of 6,988 square feet for an existing lot; and a motion with regards to R-7.5" Single Family District, Area Regulations: Section 15.G.4., allowing a lot width of fifty (50') feet for an existing lot.

The applicant requested a variance allowing for one parking space behind the front building line for a single family dwelling unit. Mr. Stombaugh explained that Staff found no special conditions existed for the requested variance. He explained that the applicant proposed to install a four (4) foot by six (6) foot storm shelter in the garage that would occupy the area normally reserved for a vehicle. This was a self-imposed hardship that did not meet the physical hardship criteria for granting a variance. Mr. Stombaugh further stated that typically this type of storm shelter was retrofitted within a central location of the residence such as a master bedroom closet. The applicant had stated this had been considered however, the expense of doing so was prohibitive. With no questions for Mr. Stombaugh, Alexandra Hernandez, of 4302 Hazy Meadow Lane, Grapevine, Texas, took the Oath of Truth; she gave a brief presentation to the Board and requested favorable consideration of her request and offered to answer any questions of the Board. George Dalton asked Ms. Hernandez if the storm shelter could be located in the rear of the garage. Ms. Hernandez stated that there was a ledge that housed plumbing and gas lines that prohibited it from being located at the rear of the garage. With no further questions for Ms. Hernandez, James Bird contractor with Valley Storm Shelters of 1359 Exchange, Richardson, Texas, took the Oath of Truth; he stated that the structure was not permanent and the homeowner intended to move the structure if she were to move. Chairman Holt announced that two (2) letters of approval and two (2) letters of opposition had been received. With no questions for Mr. Bird, 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 no special condition existed for the requested variance George Dalton seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Holt, Rainwater, White, Dalton, Morris Nays: None Absent: None 3 Board of Zoning Adjustment 07/11/2016 MINUTES Next the Board of Zoning Adjustment considered the minutes of the June 6, 2016, Briefing Session and Public Hearing.
