J. Daniel Addition. The following requests were from Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73: Section 15.G.1., R-7.5, Single Family District Regulations which requires a 30 foot front yard setback.

Sections 42.C.3. / 15.G.3., Accessory Building Regulations / R-7.5 Single Family District Regulations which requires detached accessory buildings to meet the same side yard setback as required for the main structure which is six feet. Board of Zoning Adjustment 12/04/2000 The applicant requested a six foot variance to allow an existing accessory building to remain as built on the property line. Section 58.B., Parking, Loading and Outside Storage Area Development Standards requires all off-street parking and drives to be paved with concrete or asphalt. The applicant requested to allow an existing gravel drive to remain. Mr. Stombaugh explained that Staff found special conditions, specifically the property was currently developed, and had existed since well before the current zoning ordinance.
