KINDRICK, PLANNER: SUBJECT: BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE #BZA97-24 MEETING DATE: MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1997 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Board of Zoning Adjustment approve the variance request to Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73 for Lot 102, Block 1, Countryside Estates and specifically addressed as 3309 Burninglog Drive as follows: 1. Section 15. G. 2., - "R-7.5" Single Family District which requires a twenty-five (25) foot rear yard setback. The request would allow a variance of twelve (12) feet to the required twenty-five (25) foot rear yard setback requirement. If approved, it would allow a rear yard setback of thirteen (13) feet. SPECIAL CONDITION: Staff finds a special condition exists for the request because the buildable area of the subject lot is restricted by two easements existing on the property. Specifically, there is a twelve (12) foot Trinity River Authority drainage easement on the west side of the property; and a fifteen (15) foot access easement along the east property line that provides access to property located in Colleyville. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Larry Myers submitted an application for a variance to the rear yard setback requirement to allow an attached garage to encroach the rear yard setback. The applicant is proposing to develop a new house on one of the remaining undeveloped lots in Countryside Estates. Development of many of the remaining lots in this subdivision may be hindered because of drainage easements that reduce the buildable pad site of the property. The subject lot also provides access to adjacent property to the south which is located in the City of Colleyville. These easements significantly reduce the size of the buildable area of the lot. r) 72 7< RR B RA I R oc COY a ® 20 v %- 11 it it • - - - - SHADOW RIME 0 2.

The first item of business for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was a request from Larry Myers who requested variances for 3309 Burninglog Drive, platted as Lot 102, Block 1, Countryside Estates, Grapevine, Texas. The following variances were from Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73: Section 15. G. 2., - "R-7.5" Single Family District which requires a twenty-five (25) foot rear yard setback.

Further, he explained, the applicant was proposing to develop a new house on a lot that had two easements that significantly reduce the size of the buildable area of the lot. There is a fifteen (15) foot access easement along the east property line allowing access to property in the City of Colleyville and a twelve (12) foot drainage easement along the west side of the property providing drainage for the Trinity River Authority. Mr. Stombaugh stated that Staff found a special condition for the request because the easements reduced the buildable pad site area. Mr. Larry Myers was introduced to address the request.

Mr. Myers stated that he was proposing to develop a 2,172 square foot house on the vacant lot. Mr. Randy Smith, adjacent property owner, was introduced to speak to the request. He stated he was concerned about the privacy of his yard if Mr. Myers were allowed to build a two story residence which included the garage area. He asked the Board to consider placing a restriction on the variance that would stipulate there would be no second story above the garage. With no further questions, Carl Hecht moved to close the public hearing. Dennis Luers seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Howell, Hecht, Meyer, Luers, Davis Nays: None Member Jill Davis arrived at 6:10 p.m. After Chairman Randy Howell shared the information concerning the request with Ms. Davis, members proceeded with discussion about the existing easements on the property and how it would affect the buildable pad site area.
