NEW BUSINESS BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA04-08 MARTIN SCHELLING 118 & 977 FALL CREEK First for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA04-08, submitted by Martin Schelling, for property located at 118 Fall Creek and 977 Fall Creek; Lot 65, Block 1, and Lot 84, Block 2, Silver Lake Estates. The following request was from Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73: Section 60.F.5.e, Sign Standards, requires a 15 -foot setback from the front lot line for subdivision signs. Board of Zoning Adjustment 05/03/2004 would cover both properties. Kip Bruner seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Hecht, Bruner, Cook, Luers, Holt and Adams Nays: None Absent: Kelso • . OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT , • STAMPING, 650 INDUSTRIAL • . Next for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA04-10, submitted by Harold Griffiths, for property located at 650 Industrial Boulevard; Lot 9A, Grapevine Industrial Park. The following request was from Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73: Section 54, Masonry Requirements requires that all buildings and structures in the "LI" Light Industrial District shall be of exterior fire resistant construction having at least 70 -percent of the total exterior walls, excluding doors and windows constructed of brick, stone, fibre reinforced cementitious board or other masonry or equal characteristics. The applicant was requesting a variance of 32 -percent to this requirement and if approved by the Board, would allow a percentage of masonry for an existing structure and a 19,250 square foot addition to that structure totaling 38 -percent masonry coverage. Mr. Stombaugh explained Staff found that a special condition existed for the requested variance, specifically; a special exception and a variance was granted by the Board of Zoning Adjustment at their January 4, 1993 meeting (BZA92-28) for the subject property. The special exception allowed for an expansion of an existing non -conforming use and the variance allowed for a reduction in the masonry requirement from 70 -percent to 42 -percent. In September 1993, a new site plan was submitted and approved on the subject site that deviated slightly from the original plan. Only a portion of that proposed expansion occurred in 1993. With this request, the applicant is following the expansion plans that were approved on the revised 1993 site plan however; the percentage of masonry that will be in place once the expansion has taken place has changed slightly. The original request to vary from the masonry requirement was based on a desire to match the existing construction of the base structure. Chairman Hecht swore in the applicant to address the Board. Les Brinkley of Binkley Engineers at 2116 Woodmont Arlington, representing the applicant, noted that he had been hired to design and possibly contract the construction. He explained that the reduction in masonry request was the result of trying to match N Board of Zoning Adjustment 05/03/2004 2004, Briefing Session and Public Hearing.
