CALL TO ORDER
The meeting was called to order at approximately 6:00 P.M.
NEW BUSINESS
BZA93-12, CALAIS CONSTRUCTION INC.
The first item of new business was for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider
Board of Zoning Adjustment Case BZA93-12, submitted by Calais Construction, Inc.,
who is requesting a variance for 3369 Pecan Hollow Court, Lot 20, Block 3, Western
Oaks Estates, Section II. The variance is to Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning
Ordinance 82-73, Section 15.H., R-7.5, Single Family District Regulations, which
requires a 40 foot buffer area setback when abutting a non-residential district. The
variance is to allow a five (5) foot variance to encroach the forty (40) foot rear yard
buffer requirement as shown on the plot plan. If approved, it will allow a thirty-five
(35) foot buffer yard setback on the rear property line, as shown on the plot plan.
Marcy Ratcliff explained that a building permit was submitted on November 24, 1992.
The plot plan was approved November 25, 1992, meeting all required setbacks for the
1
front, sides and rear yard. The building permit was issued on December 7, 1992.
Ms. Ratcliff explained that at some point between the setback inspection and the
foundation inspection, the house was moved back on the lot approximately five (5)
feet. Since the original site plan showed that the proposed residence went from the
thirty (30) foot front building line to the rear buffer building line of forty (40) feet,
moving this structure back from the front building line resulted in the encroachment
currently shown on the plot plan dated April 12, 1993.
Richard Edgington, with Calais Construction took the Oath of Truth. Mr. Edgington
explained the house was not moved at any time. The reason for the mistake was that
the property abuts a large vacant piece of property and they used old survey pins
located at the back of the lot.
With no one else to speak either for or against the variance, Patti Bass made a motion
to close the public hearing. Chris Coy seconded the motion which prevailed by the
following vote:
Ayes: Giffin, Bass, Howell, Coy
Nays: None
Absent: Meyer, Williams, Zimmerman
After further discussion, Patti Bass made a motion that a special condition did exist.
Ms. Bass explained the special condition being the set of old survey pins caused the
form survey to be incorrect. Chris Coy seconded the motion which prevailed by the
following vote:
Ayes: Giffin, Bass, Howell, Coy
Nays: None
Absent: Meyer, Williams, Zimmerman
Patti Bass made a motion to grant the variance to Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning
Ordinance 82-73, Section 15.H., to allow a five foot variance to encroach the forty
(40) foot rear yard buffer requirement as shown on the plot plan. Chris Coy seconded
the motion which prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Giffin, Bass, Howell, Coy
Nays: None
Absent: Meyer, Williams, Zimmerman
The next item of new business was for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider
BZA93-13, submitted by David Weekley Homes for Lot 4, Block 2, Timberline South
Addition, addressed as 2729 Springhill Drive. The variance requested is from
K
Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73, Section 15.G.3., R-7.5, Single
Family District Regulations which requires a six (6) foot side yard. The variance
requested is to allow a 6 inch variance to encroach the 6 foot side yard as shown on
the plot plan.
Marcy Ratcliff explained the special condition for the variance request. David Weekley
Homes built an accessory garage as shown on the plot plan without providing the
deed restricted 100% masonry. The accessory garage does meet the Grapevine
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73 Section 15.G., Side Yard Setback
requirements. When the structure was completed, it was noted by the Homeowners
Association that the accessory structure did not meet the deed restrictions for
masonry requirements on a detached garage. The applicant is requesting this 6 inch
encroachment for a 6 inch brick ledge to be built allowing the garage to be bricked.
David McClendon, Project Manager for David Weekley Homes took the Oath of Truth.
He explained after the garage was built, a neighbor had called inquiring whether the
garage was in compliance with the deed restrictions.
Martin Schelling, with Wright Development Company, took the Oath of Truth. He
explained that the deed restrictions do require 100% masonry and was an oversight
on the contractor pouring the slab. Mr. Schelling also explained that since the slab
had already been poured, would create a hardship to tear it out.
Marcy Ratcliff noted that staff had received three letters of approval for this case.
With no one else to speak either for or against the request, Patti Bass made a motion
to close the public hearing. Randy Howell seconded the motion which prevailed by
the following vote:
Ayes: Giffin, Bass, Howell, Coy
Nays: None
Absent: Meyer, Williams, Zimmerman
Patti Bass made a motion that a special condition did exist and the special condition
being the slab is already poured and the hardship would be to remove the slab at this
time. Randy Howell seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Giffin, Bass, Howell, Coy
Nays: None
Absent: Meyer, Williams, Zimmerman
Patti Bass then made a motion to grant the variance to Grapevine Comprehensive
Zoning Ordinance 82-73, Section 15.G.3, R-7.5, Single Family District Regulations to
allow a 6 inch variance to encroach the 6 foot side yard as shown on the plot plan,
3
allowing a 5-1/2 foot side yard setback for 2729 Springhill Drive. Chris Coy seconded
the motion which prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Giffin, Bass, Howell, Coy
Nays: None
Absent: Meyer, Williams, Zimmerman
The next item of new business for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was
BZA93-14, submitted by J. F. and Melissa Denis who are requesting a variance to
Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73, Section 42.C.3., Supplementary
District Regulations, which requires accessory buildings to be 6 feet from the rear
property line. The variance request is to allow the storage building a 5 foot variance
to encroach the 6 foot rear yard setback at 2741 Springhill Drive, Lot 1, Block 2,
Timberline South Addition.
Marcy Ratcliff explained there is an area in front of the current detached garage for
the storage building or some of the landscaping could be removed to provide enough
area for the storage building. Ms. Ratcliff explained that staff recommended denial
to the variance request.
J. F. and Melissa Denis, applicants, took the Oath of Truth, and explained they had
bought the house in October and chose to locate the storage building behind the
detached garage, •- the previous • had • • •• in this area and
it
-• to •• the •- location. Mr. Denis explained he had e• the Inspection
Department and asked if he needed a permit for a 6 x 16 foot storage building, and
was told he did not need a permit.
Tammy Sisco of 2808 Springhill, Grapevine, Texas, took the Oath of Truth. Ms.
Sisco explained she was part of the neighborhood's Homeowner's Association and the
storage building does not meet what the City code requires. Ms. Sisco noted there
are other storage buildings in the neighborhood that do meet the City requirements.
Greg Puklicz of 2732 Rosecliff Terrace, Grapevine, Texas, took the Oath of Truth and
explained the storage building was right in view of their family room. Mr. Puklicz
asked the Board to support the City code.
Cybill Long of 2736 Rosecliff Terrace, Grapevine, Texas, took the Oath of Truth and
explained she lives directly behind this property. Ms. Long explained when they put
a contract on the house, the storage building had not been built, and two weeks later,
after they bought the house, the storage building had been built.
V,
Mr. Denis spoke again and explained if he reconstructed the shed elsewhere in the
back yard, the neighbors would still be able to see it from their houses.
After further discussion Chris Coy made a motion to close the public hearing. Patti
Bass seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Giffin, Bass, Howell, Coy
Nays: None
Absent: Meyer, Williams, Zimmerman
After further discussion from the Denis' and the neighbors, Patti Bass made a motion
that a special condition did not exist. Randy Howell seconded the motion which

The next item of new business was for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider
BZA93-15, submitted by Leslee Nelson and Edwin White, Jr., for Lot 7R, Block 1,
Labrador Estates Addition, addressed as 2856 Peninsula Drive. The variance request
is to Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73, Section 15.G.1., R-7.5,
Single Family District Regulations which requires a thirty foot front yard setback. The
variance request is to allow the ten (10) foot variance to encroach the thirty (30) foot
front yard setback as shown on the plot plan, allowing a twenty (20) foot front yard
setback.
Marcy Ratcliff explained that this unusually large lot, containing 16,804 square feet
with the reduction of the 572 area, has less than 50% buildable area left. In addition,
with the thirty (30) foot front building line and side building lines of 6 feet, the
building pad area is reduced considerably. Ms. Ratcliff also explained that more than
50% of the lot was located below the elevation of 572.00 feet, where no habitable
structures are allowed to be built below this elevation level. Ms. Ratcliff explained
with approval of this variance, the building site area would be increased to the point
where a one-story structure could meet the minimum 1,200 square foot floor area
requirement.
Kim Sontos of 1130 Bear Creek Parkway, Euless, took the Oath of Truth and
explained she was wanting to purchase this lot to build a home.
E
Ron and Mariann Brown took the Oath of Truth and explained they had purchased
2915 Peninsula Drive, a year ago. The Browns explained they opposed the need to
waive the 30 foot front yard setback.
Bob Tantangelo of 3525 Redbird Lane, Grapevine, Texas, took the Oath of Truth and
explained he was the brother-in-law of the applicant and feels the variance will not
detract from the neighborhood.
Elva Tantangelo of 3525 Redbird Lane, Grapevine, Texas, took the Oath of Truth, and

to close the public hearing. Patti Bass seconded the motion which prevailed by the
following vote:
Ayes: Giffin, Bass, Howell, Coy
Nays: None
Absent: Meyer, Williams, Zimmerman

lot is below the elevation of 572 feet which would make the lot hard to build on.

Ayes: Giffin, Bass, Howell, Coy
Nays: None
Absent: Meyer, Williams, Zimmerman
Chris Coy then made a motion to grant the variance to Grapevine Comprehensive

IMIAILOICIS • P,
The last item of new business was for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider
BZA93-19, submitted by Glenda Fisher who is requesting a special exception to
Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73, Section 68.H.2. and 3., Board of
Adjustment Regulations, which has the power to hear and decide special exceptions
to the terms of the Ordinance, if any. Also, it has the authority upon appeal in special
cases, such special exceptions from the terms of the Ordinance as will not be contrary
to the public interest, where, owing to special conditions the literal enforcement of the
11
provision of the Ordinance will result in unnecessary hardship, so that the spirit of the
Ordinance shall be observed and substantial justice done.
Greg Wheeler explained the special exception is to allow the reinstatement of a single
family residential use in a commercial zone for the property located at 703 East Wall
Street. Staff recommends the special exception for a single family use shall remain
in place as long as the structure is used for single family residential purposes only.
Staff would also recommend if a commercial business is issued a Certificate of
Occupancy at this location, the special exception shall cease to exist forever.
Mr. Wheeler explained this structure has been used as a residence and has been a
nonconforming use since the City Rezoning in 1984. The property has been vacant
in excess of six months, as a result, the nonconforming single family use has expired.
The applicant has not been able to get a commercial tenant to occupy this location
and meet the parking and other requirements of the Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning
Ordinance 82-73. Because the property is vacant, the applicant has been unable to
obtain insurance.
Glenda Fisher, applicant of 610 East Texas Street, Grapevine, Texas took the Oath
of Truth and explained why she needed the property to be residential.
Marcy Ratcliff explained that one of the requirements of going back to commercial is
the off-street parking would need to be placed in the rear where the property is
shallow and would be difficult to construct.
Chris Coy made a motion to close the public hearing. Patti Bass seconded the motion
which prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Giffin, Bass, Howell, Coy
Nays: None
Absent: Meyer, Williams, Zimmerman
Chris Coy made a motion that a special condition did exist and the special condition
being the existing structure was built for single family use and to convert the structure
for commercial use and develop the required parking spaces on the property results
in an unnecessary hardship. Patti Bass seconded the motion which prevailed by the
following vote:
Ayes: Giffin, Bass, Howell, Coy
Nays: None
Absent: Meyer, Williams, Zimmerman
Chris Coy made a motion to allow the reinstatement of a single family residential use
in a commercial zone and if a commercial business is issued a certificate of
