MEMO TO: BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT
FROM: SCOTT WILLIAMS, BUILDING OFFICIALtA -
RON STOMBAUGH, PLANNER W -'G'
JO ANN STOUT, PLANNER
STEPHEN D. 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.

Block 1, Countryside Estates, Grapevine, Texas. The following variances were from

Ron Stombaugh, City Planner, explained to the Board that Staff had received an
application from Larry Myers requesting a variance to rear yard setback requirements to
allow an attached garage to encroach into the required 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. He told the Board that the
easement on the east side of the property would also be used as a driveway for the subject
lot to access the proposed garage in the rear yard as well as the property in the City of
Colleyville. 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. Ron Stombaugh, Planner stated the minimum building size in the zoning district was
1200 square feet. The property is deed restricted to a minimum building size of 1800
square feet. Members discussed the average size of homes in the area as being more
than 2000 square feet. Further discussion concerning the access easement to the
property that is located in the City of Colleyville and the Trinity River Authority easements
throughout the Countryside Estates Addition.
With nothing further, Ery Meyer moved that a special condition did exist for the request
and that being the lot was restricted by the easements imposed on the plat which reduced

could not develop a second story above the garage. Jill Davis seconded the motion which
