PUBLIC HEARING, BZA 82-01, BRADFORD V. NAVARRO The first order of business to come before the Board of Zoning Adjustments was the public hearing for and consideration of Application No. BZA 82-01 submitted by Mr. Bradford V. Navarro. The Oath of Truth was administered to applicant Brad Navarro. Mr. Navarro then explained that when he purchased the lot, his intentions were to redo the house and fix it up as a home for his mother to live in. However, the house was in extremely bad condition, and he had then changed his plans to clear the house from the property and rebuild another home, for which he would need a 14' variance in the front yard setback requirement and a 71 variance in the rear yard setback requirement. Mr. Navarro also presented his construction plans for the Board to review. A lengthy discussion then ensued, during which it was noted that all of the lot in question was zoned "C-2" Commercial property and that the lot was much larger than that particular area being considered. It was also noted that all neighboring property owners had been notified of the public hearing and that the following letter of opposition had been received. 2538 Sunset Dallas, Texas Jan. 5, 1982 Dear Sir: In reply to your notice on 1307 Worthington Dr. (14 ft. variance in front & 4 ft. in rear) I am against this. It will crowd the driveway across street when there is any parking along that side of the street. There just isn't adequate room on that "small portion of lot 3" to build a residence. Mr. Bradford V. Navarro has failed to comply with parking regulations with the business on the other part of that lot (3). His parking space is pad- locked --his customers park on street (Worthington) head in instead of parallel as they should. I have had a tree damaged also a post bent over from being backed into. I am strongly against allowing this change. Yours truly, Mattie J. Robinson Owner of 1314 Worthington Dr. There was then additional discussion concerning the parking requirements for the proposed residence and the existing business on the other end of the lot in question. Question was asked as to whether there would be enough parking spaces if the proposed residence was ever used for commercial pro- perty in the future. Mr. Navarro commented that at this time he has no plans of ever using the residence for com- mercial purposes. Member Gerald Thompson then made a motion to approve the variance as submitted. The motion was seconded by Member Charles Cox and prevailed by the following vote: Ayes Woods, Cox, Lamb, Thompson, Spencer Nays None Absent: Buckner, Wright It was the general concensus of the Board as their feelings were conveyed to Mr. Navarro that he make every effort possible to provide off-street parking and pursuade the customers of the existing business to park on the portion of the lot between t}ae business and the proposed residence. CONSIDERATION OF THE MINUTES The next order of business was for the Board of Zoning Adjust- ments to consider the minutes of July 1, 1981 and October 1, 1981. It was noted that an amendment needed to be made to the minutes of October 1, 1981 on page 4 of 4 concerning the vote taken on Application No. BZA 81-10. According to the minutes Member Doug Lamb voted for the variance and also abstained from voting. Member Lamb actually did abstain from voting, and the amendment was made to delete his name from the list of those voting "aye". Member Charles Cox then made a motion to approve the July 1, 1981 minutes as published and approve the October 1, 1981 minutes as amended. The motion was seconded by Alternate Jerry Spencer and prevailed by the following vote: Ayes Woods, Cox, Lamb, Thompson, Spencer Nays None Absent: Buckner, Wright ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the Board, Member Doug Lamb made a motion to adjourn.
