OLD BUSINESS BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA 99-28,1600 W. NORTHWEST HIGHWAY MARTIN SCHELLING The first item of business was for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider BZA99-28, which was tabled at the January 3, 2000, meeting so the applicant could meet with the homeowners who live north of the subject property. The following variance request was to Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73 for property located at 1600 W. Northwest Highway, legally described as Tracts 41 and 4C, Abstract 1050, Thomas Mahan Survey: Section 27.1.1, "PO" Professional Office District, Height Regulations which provides that buildings located contiguous to an "R-20," "R-12.5," or "R-7.5" district shall not exceed one story or 20 -feet in height. Board of Zoning Adjustment 02/07/2000 Mr. Stombaugh explained that the applicant requested a variance to construct 2 - story office buildings not to exceed 30 feet in height, south of the creek as shown on the concept plan. He explained that Staff found special conditions, specifically the "PO" Professional Office District section of the lot was bisected by a creek and drainage easement which inhibited the property owner from developing the site into multiple lots which would allow development of 2 -story office buildings. He explained that the portion of the lot south of the creek at its narrowest was over 200 -feet south of the adjacent single family district. He also explained that with a minimum lot depth of 100 -feet for lots in the "PO" Professional Office District, the area in question had over twice the separation than what was required between 2 -story office buildings and contiguous single family residences. Martin Schelling, applicant of 601 W. Wall Street, Grapevine, took the Oath of Truth and explained that he had had an opportunity to visit with two of the neighbors to the north and was able to resolve some questions. He noted that he showed plans of the property to the neighbors and stated that they expressed favor of the request.

The following requests were to Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73: Section 15.C.1., R-7.5, Single Family District Regulations, which requires a 30 - foot front building setback.
