PINE STREET ANDREW WAMBSGANSS The next item was for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider BZA99-26, submitted by Andrew Wambsganss for property located at 1304 S. Pine Street, platted as Lot 1, Block 4, Sky Harbor Addition. The following requests were to Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73: Section 42.D., Corner Lots, which requires a minimum 15 foot side yard The applicant requested a 2.5 foot variance for a proposed accessory structure (garage). If approved it would have allowed a 12.5 foot side yard setback. Section 42.F.5., Required Yards, which requires a 20 foot setback from the face (door) of a private garage to a rear or side lot line. The applicant requested a 7.5 foot variance. If approved, it would have allowed a 12.5 foot setback from the side property line to the garage door as shown on the plot plan. Section 43.E.3., Nonconforming Uses and Structures, which allows the Board of Zoning Adjustment to approve the remodeling or enlargement of a nonconforming use. The applicant requested to allow the construction of a detached garage, while allowing the nonconforming existing residence to remain. Mr. Williams explained that Staff found no special conditions for Sections 42.D. and 42.F.5., as there was adequate room on the lot for the garage to comply. He explained that there were special conditions for Section 43.E.3., as the main residence was existing, and violations would not be increased by addition of a complying accessory structure. K Board of Zoning Adjustment 12/06/99 Andrew Wambsganss, applicant, took the Oath of Truth and explained about the need for a detached two -car garage. He explained that the need for a variance was discovered at the time the contractor applied for a building permit. He explained that he felt the most logical position for the garage was to have it in- line with the house which would be 25 feet off the street pavement. Mr. Wambsganss also noted that there were multiple houses on corner lots that had a garage entrance from the side and were closer than he was proposing. Mr. Wambsganss also explained that if the garage were moved back 7 '/ feet, he would have to remove a live oak tree. He explained that he felt the proposed garage would be more attractive and would be in keeping with the other homes in the neighborhood if the variances were granted. Ery Meyer noted that Mr. Wambsganss would have three driveways and asked if he could take the driveway out on the west side and move the garage closer to the building. Mr. Wambsganss explained that he had a deck at the back of the house which would have to be removed if he were to move the garage closer to the house. With no one else to speak either for or against the request, Dennis Luers made a motion to close the public hearing. Ery Meyer seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Hecht, Meyer, Luers, Bruner Nays: None Absent: Anderson, Cook, Kelso Ery Meyer explained that he felt there were alternatives and did not see a hardship. Chairman Hecht read a letter of approval from Annie McGee who lives at 1245 Pine Street. Ery Meyer made a motion that there were no special conditions for the variances to Section 42.D, and to Section 421.5. Kip Bruner seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Hecht, Meyer, Luers, Bruner Nays: None Absent: Anderson, Cook, Kelso Ery Meyer then made a motion that there were special conditions to Section 43.E.3. because the residence was existing and violations would not be increased by the addition of a complying accessory structure.
