Mr. Boyle passed out an Overview of Laws, Rules and Regulations handout that he discussed with the Board. The handout included the following items: Powers of the Board of Adjustment, Voting Procedures and Board Membership, Variances, Four Elements to a Variance, Form of Motion to Approve or Deny a Variance, Special Exceptions, and Non - Conforming Use. He explained that the Board of Zoning Adjustment was a quasi-judicial board, rather than a legislative board. Mr. Boyle also passed out a handout that would help the Board decide on whether or not a case should be approved or denied. Board of Zoning Adjustment 03/06/2000 Mr. Boyle discussed legal non -conforming uses, how public/neighbor input should impact the request, and protection of the Board of Zoning Adjustment by the Law. Jim Kelso asked Mr. Boyle if it was inappropriate that the Board asked Mr. Wright, regarding his case BZA99-28, to meet and explain the case with the adjacent homeowners. In response to Mr. Kelso's question, Mr. Boyle said that the Board's request was not inappropriate as long as the Board had Mr. Wright's consent to meet with the homeowners. Mr. Boyle also added that the Board could request any information they felt was appropriate from the applicant relevant to making a decision. There was also discussion that a Board member could request, by letter, that a case be brought back before the Board for consideration.

OLD BUSINESS BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA00-03 STEVEN BONESIO 307 E. NORTHWEST HIGHWAY The first item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA00-03, submitted by Steven Bonesio for property located at 307 E. Northwest Highway, platted as Lot 5A, Starnes Addition. The following request was from Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82 -73 - Section 26.G.3., Area Regulations which requires that every lot within the "HC", Highway Commercial District shall have a front yard of not less than 25 -feet which shall be used as a landscaped setback area. The applicant requested a variance of 7 -feet to this requirement along the southern property line in order to construct a new asphalt parking lot to the west of the existing one story building. If approved by the Board of Zoning Adjustment, it would allow a front yard setback of 18 -feet along the southern property line as shown on the site plan. Board of Zoning Adjustment 03/06/2000 Ron Stombaugh explained that the case was tabled at the February 7, 2000, meeting in order to give the applicant time to provide a more detailed site plan submittal. Mr. Stombaugh explained that the applicant was not present, but he would answer any questions the Board may have. Mr. Stombaugh explained that Staff found that there were special conditions, specifically, the building was existing and was built in the early 1970's prior to the development standards that currently exist. Mr. Stombaugh also explained that one condition that Staff requested, and the applicant agreed with, was that the driveway be closed and parking spaces be replaced with landscaping. With no one to speak either for or against the request, Ron Cook made a motion to close the public hearing. Russell Anderson seconded the motion, which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Hecht, Meyer, Anderson, Cook, Bruner, Kelso Nays: None Absent: Luers Mr. Hecht announced that one letter of approval and one letter of denial had been received. Mr. Stombaugh explained that the property owner expressed that in the future, he planned to raze the existing building, clear the whole site and redevelop the property. Ery Meyer then made a motion that there were special conditions, specifically the building was existing and the structure in question was built in the early 1970's prior to the development standards that currently exist. Kip Bruner seconded the motion, which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Hecht, Meyer, Anderson, Cook, Bruner, Kelso Nays: None Absent: Luers Ery Meyer made a motion to grant the variance to Section 26.G.3., allowing a front yard setback of 18 -feet along the southern property as shown on the site plan. Russell Anderson seconded the motion, which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Hecht, Meyer, Anderson, Cook, Bruner, Kelso Nays: None Absent: Luers 2 Board of Zoning Adjustment 03/06/2000 NEW BUSINESS BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA00-04 3400 WILLIAM D. TATE AVENUE AAE ARCHITECTS C/O GARY M. STAIGER Next, the Board of Zoning Adjustment considered BZA00-04, submitted by Gary M. Staiger with AAE Architects for property located at 3400 William D. Tate Avenue, platted as Lot 1, Block 1, Grapevine III Addition. The following request was from Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73: Section 25.1.1 Height Regulations which requires that no principal structure shall be erected or altered in the "CC" Community Commercial District to a height exceeding one (1) story or twenty-five (25) feet in height when located contiguous to an existing "R-20," "R-12.5," or "R-7.5" Single Family District. The applicant requested a variance of twenty-five (25) feet to this requirement. If approved it would allow the construction of a building exceeding one (1) story, not to exceed fifty (50) feet in height. Mr. Stombaugh explained that Staff found that there were special conditions specifically the topography of the subject site as well as the lot configuration with a heavily wooded creek area adjacent to the "R-20" Single Family Residential District to the north made a two-story building inconsequential. He also explained that the "R-20" district to the north of the subject site was currently undeveloped and there was approximately 1000 feet of flood plain area to the north of subject site that could not be developed. Gary Staiger with AAE Architects, 4121 Commerce Street, Dallas, Texas, took the Oath of Truth and explained the proposed development and that a 2 -story office building would allow more landscaping and wooded area on the lot. He explained that a small section of the roof would be an equipment penthouse, which would be screened. John McDonald of 2600 Pinon Court, Grapevine, took the Oath of Truth and explained that his property would be the most effected by the request and said he was opposed to the request. He explained that many of his neighbors did not see a need for a 2 -story building. Mr. McDonald explained that he felt if a 2 -story building were built, his property would decrease in value. Mr. Stombaugh noted that the recommendation of approval by staff was contingent upon input from adjacent property owners. With no one else to speak either for or against the request, Russell Anderson made a motion to close the public hearing. Kip Bruner seconded the motion, which prevailed by the following vote: 3 Board of Zoning Adjustment 03/06/2000 Ayes: Hecht, Meyer, Anderson, Cook, Bruner, Kelso Nays: None Absent: Luers After discussion from the Board, Ron Cook made a motion that there was no special condition. Jim Kelso seconded the motion, which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Hecht, Meyer, Anderson, Cook, Kelso Nays: None Absent: Luers Abstain: Bruner MINUTES Next the Board of Zoning Adjustment considered the minutes of the February 7, 2000, meeting. Ery Meyer made a motion to approve the minutes of the February 7, 2000, meeting. Ron Cook seconded the motion, which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Hecht, Meyer, Anderson, Cook, Bruner, Kelso Nays: None Absent: Luers STAFF REPORTS Ron Stombaugh explained that the Golden Corral was going to be built to the south of Taco Bell on William D. Tate Avenue and a request for a bank had been submitted for the property to the north of Taco Bell. With no further discussion, Ron Cook made a motion to adjourn. Kip Bruner seconded the motion, which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Hecht, Meyer, Anderson, Cook, Bruner, Kelso Nays: None Absent: Luers The meeting was adjourned at 6:30 P.M. 51 Board of Zoning Adjustment 03/06/2000 PASSED AND APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT OF THE CITY OF GRAPEVINE, TEXAS, ON THE DAY 0 F 42dQ&&l 2000. 41 S8QWARY 092067mid 6�HAIRMAN A
