MAIN STREET The first item that the Board of Zoning Adjustment considered was BZA00-16, submitted by Constance Smith, for property located at 420 N. Main Street, legally described as Tract 29, A. F. Leonard Survey, Abstract 946. The following request was from Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73: Section 43.E.3. which allows the Board to approve the remodeling or enlargement of a nonconforming use. The applicant requested a special exception to allow the site to remain as it currently exists and allow the construction of a paved driveway and parking relative to a day nursery/child care facility. Mr. Stombaugh explained that Staff found that there were special conditions, specifically, the site was developed. He explained that there was currently no 2 08/07/2000 paved driveway or paved parking on the site and all parking and driveways were currently unimproved surfaces, i.e., dirt/gravel. Constance Smith, applicant of 2909 Crestline Drive, Grapevine, took the Oath of Truth and explained that the building would be used as a school and not a child care center. She explained there would be a maximum of 25 children. Don Kiker of 905 Riverside Drive, Grapevine, took the Oath of Truth. In response to Mr. Cook's concern about a well on the property, Mr. Kiker explained that an ornamental wall would be constructed around the well and it would be completely contained. There was discussion about the property being a non -conforming use. There was also concern expressed by several Board members that there would be parking/circulation problems, and resulting traffic problems on North Main Street. Mr. Kiker stated that he was part owner of the property and explained that he thought it would be a travesty to take out the gravel driveway and replace it with concrete or asphalt since the house was 100 years old. He stated that even though he agreed initially for the change, he wanted to recant his agreement. Mr. Williams explained that based on the owner's statement refusing to put in a concrete driveway, staff would recommend denial. He explained that staff's recommendation was based on the site plan. With no one else to speak regarding the request, Kip Bruner made a motion to close the public hearing. Ron Cook seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Hecht, Luers, Cook, Bruner, Holt Nays: None Absent: Kelso Ron Cook then made a motion that there was not a special condition. Dennis Luers seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Hecht, Luers, Cook, Bruner, Halt Nays: None Absent: Kelso BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA00-17 GRAPEVINE INVESTMENTS 2713 MUSTANG DRIVE 3 Board of Zoning Adjustment 08/07/2000 Next the Board of Zoning Adjustment considered BZA00-17, submitted by Grapevine Investments for property located at 2713 Mustang Drive, platted as Lot 1, Block 1, Y.C. Yee Addition. The following request was from Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73: Section 24.13.3 Neighborhood Commercial District Regulations, Accessory Uses, requires screened garbage storage on a concrete pad no nearer than 50 -feet to a residentially zoned district and not located between the front of the building and any street right-of-way. Mr. Stombaugh explained that the applicant requested a complete variance to the requirement and if approved it would allow a zero setback between the dumpster and the residentially zoned district to the south with the dumpster placed approximately on the property line. Mr. Stombaugh explained that Staff found that there were special conditions, specifically the site was developed with no other viable location for the dumpster. He explained that the ordinance specifically prohibited the dumpster from being located between the front of the building and the street right-of-way along Mustang Drive. Mr. Stombaugh explained that the City Council tentatively approved a conditional use permit for the site for a convenience store with off - premise alcohol beverage sales and gasoline service pending action by the Board of Zoning Adjustment relative to the location of the dumpster and the Site Plan Review Committee relative to site landscaping. Mr. Stombaugh explained that on June 20, 2000, the City Council, on the first reading of the ordinance, approved the conditional use permit pending the action of the Board of Zoning Adjustment as well as the Site Plan Review Committee. Abdul Hadwani of Carrollton, Texas, took the Oath of Truth and said he would answer any questions of the Board. There was discussion regarding the location of the dumpster and the disturbance it would make for the residential area. Mr. Hadwani explained that the previous owner had been in non-compliance and that he was willing to clean the site. He explained that the dumpster would serve all the building's tenants. Chairman Hecht announced that two letters of protest had been received. Roy Stewart of 309 Drexel, Grapevine and City Council Representative took the Oath of Truth and explained that at lasts month's City Council meeting, Mr. Hadwani assured the City Council that the property would be cleaned and was agreeable of their recommendation regarding landscaping and brick. Mr. Stewart explained that there was no logical place for the dumpster. He felt from a 12 Board of Zoning Adjustment 08/07/2000 servicing standpoint the dumpster would be better where it was located on the drawing. Mr. Hecht asked the applicant if he would ask Trinity to specify that the hours of service not be during the night. There was discussion that this would probably not be feasible. With no one else to speak regarding the case, Kip Bruner made a motion to close the public hearing. Dennis Luers seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Hecht, Luers, Cook, Bruner, Holt Nays: None Absent: Kelso Dennis Luers then made a motion that there was a special condition, specifically the site was developed with no other viable location for the dumpster and that the ordinance prohibits the dumpster from being located between the front of the building and the street right-of-way along Mustang Drive.

Mr. Stombaugh explained that Staff found that there were special conditions, specifically the site was developed, there were no intentions to expand or remodel the site and all parking requirements were met. He explained that the structure was the former Smith TV Repair Shop which was an existing nonconforming use. Tim Lancaster, applicant of 1001 West Northwest Highway, Grapevine, took the Oath of Truth and explained that the property became a non -conforming use when Dallas Road was widened. In response to a concern from the Board about the parking lot being paved, Tim Lancaster explained that there were no intentions of paving the rest of the parking area, but adequate paved parking was on the site. Mr. Williams explained that there was adequate paved parking for the office space and for the size of the building.
