NEW BUSINESS BZA97-28, GOODWIN & MARSHALL, INC. The first item of new business for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA97- 28, submitted by Goodwin & Marshall, Inc., who requested a variance for 4055 Corporate Drive, platted as Lot 1, Block 2, DFW Trade Center, Grapevine, Texas. The following variance was from Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73: Section 32.K.1., "BP" Business Park District Regulations which requires no off-street parking area be located closer than twenty-five (25) feet to any residentially zoned property, nor ten (10) feet to any adjacent property line. 1 The applicant requested a fifteen (15) foot variance to the required twenty-five (25) foot setback for off-street parking adjacent to residentially zoned property. If approved, it would allow parking within ten (10) feet of the residentially zoned property, as shown on the site plan. JoAnn Stout explained the case and that a special condition existed to allow parking within ten (10) feet of the adjacent residentially zoned property since it lies within the Denton Creek flood plain and could not be developed as currently zoned. Ms. Stout also noted that the adjacent property is currently owned by the City of Grapevine and is intended to be rezoned to "GU" Governmental Use, to be utilized as a hike and bike trail and a city park. Ed Kellie of Goodwin and Marshall, 6001 Bridge Street, Fort Worth, Texas, took the Oath of Truth and said he would be available for any questions the Board may have. Ms. Stout clarified that the City of Grapevine initiated the zone change of the property from R-20, Single Family District Regulations to GU, Governmental Use District. Ms.Stout announced that the zone change would be heard at the next Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, December 2, 1997. After some discussion, Dennis Luers made a motion to close the public hearing. Ery Meyer seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Howell, Hecht, Meyer, Luers, Davis Nays: None Absent: Anderson, Bruner Ery Meyer made a motion that a special condition existed to allow parking within ten (10) feet of the adjacent residentially zoned property since it lies within the Denton Creek flood plain and could not be developed as currently zoned. Dennis Luers seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Howell, Hecht, Meyer, Luers, Davis Nays: None Absent: Anderson, Bruner Ery Meyer then made a motion to approve the request to Section 32.K.1., Business Park District Regulations to allow a 15 foot variance to the required 25 foot setback for off-street parking adjacent to residentially zoned property, allowing parking within ten (10) feet of the residentially zoned property as shown on the site plan. Dennis Luers seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: r. Ayes: Howell, Hecht, Meyer, Luers, Davis Nays: None Absent: Anderson, Bruner The next item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA97-29, submitted by Phil Morley, representing Grapevine Kawasaki, for 418 East Northwest Highway, platted as Lot 1, Block 2, A.F. Leonard Survey, Grapevine, Texas. The following variance request, from the Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, was conditional to City Council approval of Conditional Use Request CU97-55: Section 60.J.5., Sign Standards which requires a ten (10) foot setback for on -premise pole signs in the "HC" Highway Commercial District. The proposed variance would allow a reduction of six feet to the ten foot setback requirement for an on -premise pole sign. JoAnn Stout explained the case to the Board and explained that Staff found a special condition existed because the building was developed prior to the City of Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73. Ms. Stout explained that the subject property was granted approval to exist as developed under BZA96-51, however, the pole sign, as it exists, is partially blocked by an existing building to the west. Phil Morley, representing Grapevine Kawasaki, of 920 S. Main Street, Suite 190, Grapevine, Texas, took the Oath of Truth and explained that the existing pawn shop sign would block the sign once it had been lowered. Mr. Morley proposed to move the sign where it would be more visible, yet not block any traffic. There was some discussion that lack of visibility did not constitute a hardship. The Board also discussed possible complying locations to move the sign, but no satisfactory conclusion was reached. Ms. Davis and Mr. Cook suggested the applicant using a monument sign or use the planter boxes adjacent to the building for placement of the sign. Ms. Stout explained that Tommy Hardy, Director of Development Services, stated City Council would most likely not be willing to give up landscaping for a location of a sign. After further discussion, Phil Morley asked the Board if the case could be tabled until the next regular meeting. 3 Jill Davis made a motion that Case BZA97-29 be tabled to the next Board of Zoning Adjustment meeting at the request of the applicant. Ery Meyer seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Howell, Hecht, Meyer, Luers, Davis Nays: None Absent: Anderson, Bruner Next the Board of Zoning Adjustment considered the minutes of the October 6, 1997, meeting. Ery Meyer made a motion to accept the minutes of the October 6, 1997, meeting. Dennis Luers seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Howell, Hecht, Meyer, Luers Nays: None Abstain: Davis Absent: Anderson, Bruner Randy Howell asked about the status of the old Food Lion building at Dove Road and Kimball Road. Scott Williams explained that the Carroll I.S.D. had bought the building and was remodeling it for offices and storage. Randy Howell asked staff if they had any more comments concerning BZA97-29, Grapevine Kawasaki. JoAnn Stout explained that if a variance had been granted they would still have to go before City Council for approval. Ms. Stout explained that from past history, the City Council would have a problem with giving up landscaping for the relocation of a sign. There was further discussion concerning the height and location of the sign. Mr. Williams explained that the sign itself could be 108 square feet, could not exceed 12 feet in width and height and must be 20 feet high. 4 91 M I 1 0.0.0.1 ikill I With no further business, Carl Hecht made a motion to adjourn.
