The following request was from Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73: Section 15.G.2., Single Family District Regulations, which requires a 25 foot rear yard setback. The applicant requested a three foot variance, and if approved would result in a 22 foot rear yard setback for a proposed addition to the existing house. Board of Zoning Adjustment 10/02/2000 Mr. Stombaugh explained that Staff found no special conditions. He explained that the applicant proposed a 16.5' by 24' addition to the home that would encroach approximately three feet into the rear yard setback. He explained that there were no existing physical conditions that would justify encroachment into the rear setback. Beth Tiggelaar of 516 Post Oak Road and applicant, took the Oath of Truth. She explained that an addition to the back of the house was needed for their family. She explained that the neighbors had no problem with the addition. Ms. Tiggelaar also explained that she felt there was a special condition because the proposed addition would line up with other existing improvements in the neighborhood. With no one else to speak either for or against the motion to close the public hearing. Ron Cook prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Hecht, Luers, Cook, Bruner, Kelso Nays: None Absent: None request, Kip Bruner made a seconded the motion which Chairman Hecht announced that 11 letters of approval had been received.
