Franklin Street, platted as Lot 2-R1, Block 30, City Of Grapevine. The following request was from Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73: Section 15.G.1, "R-7.5" Single Family District, Area Requirements, states that the minimum depth of the front yard shall be 30 -feet. Board of Zoning Adjustment 08/04/2003 The applicant requested a variance of 8 -feet to this requirement and if approved by the Board would allow a front yard setback of 22 -feet for a single family residence. Mr. Stombaugh explained that Staff found that there were special conditions, specifically the subject lot was surrounded to the east and west by existing developed single family property both of which have structures built closer than 30 -feet to the front property line. He explained that Staff's recommendation of approval was predicated on two conditions: 1. The property owners to the immediate east and west of the subject property did not protest the requested variance, and; 2. Any construction on the subject lot would not encroach further into the front yard setback than the encroachment existing on the lot immediately to the east. Mr. Stombaugh also noted that the lot received variances from the Board for lot size and lot width at the Board's June 5, 1995 meeting. Michael Reeder, applicant of 821 E. Dove Loop, #2217, Grapevine, took the Oath of Truth. Mr. Reeder explained that he was asking for the variance so the house would be in align with other houses along the street and that it would be out of the drip line of the tree located in the rear yard. In response to Ms. Holt's question concerning the location of the garage, Mr. Reeder explained that it would probably be located on the west side of the house. He explained that he was thinking of possibly building a carport or detached garage. Mr. Williams explained that before a building permit could be issued, two off- street parking spaces would have to be provided.
