BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA02-10, SALYER AND
ASSOCIATES — 2172 MCPHERSON DRIVE
The first item was for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider BZA02-10,
submitted by Salyer and Associates for property located at 2172 McPherson
Drive, platted as Lot 1, Block 1, Clairmont Estates, City Of Grapevine. The
following requests were from Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-
73:
Section 211.2, "R -MF -1" Multifamily District Regulations, Density Requirements,
requires that lots for any permitted use shall have a minimum area of two (2)
acres.
Board of Zoning Adjustment
08/05/2002
The applicant requested a variance of approximately 0.7 acres (30,492 square
feet) to this requirement and if approved by the Board, will allow a lot size of
approximately 1.3 acres (56,629 square feet) for a proposed multifamily project.
Mr. Stombaugh explained that Staff found a special condition for the requested
variance, specifically, the subject property was surrounded by platted, developed
property to the north, east, and west and McPherson Drive to the south. He
explained that there was no possibility for expansion of the subject property to
meet the minimum lot size requirements.
Mr. Stombaugh explained that the City Council, at their July 16, 2002 meeting
tentatively approved a rezoning of this property from "R -MF -2" Multifamily District
to "R -MF -1" Multifamily District pending approval by the Board of Zoning
Adjustment.
Phillip P. Salyer of 303 Ridgeview Lane, Trophy Club, Texas, took the Oath of
Truth. Mr. Salyer explained that the land was landlocked and that the
partnership wanted to build an upscale condominium project. Mr. Salyer noted
that the neighbors liked the proposed project, as the current zoning would allow a
20 -unit project .
In response to Kip Bruner's question, Ron Stombaugh explained that Planning
and Zoning Commission did have reservations about the project but, along with
City Council, unanimously approved it.
There was discussion regarding the number of units that could be built on the
property.
Roy Stewart of 309 Drexel Drive, took the Oath of Truth and explained that when
the plan was brought before City Council, it showed a 10 unit project.
Mr. Stombaugh explained that the concept plan was turned in to Planning and
Zoning, but the concept plan did not apply to the case, only the lot size was to be
considered.
Mr. Williams addressed the Board stating that if they had any reservations about
the number of units changing, they could simply add the condition that the
development be limited to 10 units.
With no one else to speak regarding the case, Dennis Luers made a motion to
close the public hearing. Kip Bruner seconded the motion which prevailed by the
following vote:
Ayes: Hecht, Luers, Cook, Bruner, Kelso
Nays: None
Absent: Tomerlin

BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA02-12 FABIEN GOURY —

Next the Board of Zoning Adjustment considered BZA02-12, submitted by Fabien
Goury, for property located at 326 E. Texas Street and platted as Lot 3, Block 37,
City Of Grapevine. The following requests were from Grapevine Comprehensive
Zoning Ordinance 82-73:
Section 43.E.3., Nonconforming Uses and Structures, allows the Board to
approve the remodeling and/or enlargement of a nonconforming use.
The applicant requested to allow an enclosed addition as well as porch addition
to be constructed at the rear of an existing single family home.
Section 15.G.7, "R-7.5" Single Family District Regulations, Area Regulations,
mandates that only one single-family detached dwelling shall be permitted on
each lot.

Board of Zoning Adjustment
08/05/2002
The applicant requested to allow three, existing detached single family structures
to remain as developed at the rear of the property.
Mr. Stombaugh explained that Staff found that there were special conditions for
both the special exception and the variance request, specifically, the site was
existing and it was estimated that the main single family residence to which the
additions were proposed was constructed in 1947 with the outbuildings
constructed shortly thereafter. Mr. Stombaugh explained that the construction
predates the City's first zoning ordinance, which was enacted in 1955.
Fabien Goury, applicant of 525 S. Main Street, Grapevine, took the Oath of Truth
and explained that he had made improvements to the property. He explained
that he wanted to add a bedroom and porch. With no one else to speak
regarding the case, Dennis Luers made a motion to close the public hearing. Kip
Bruner seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Hecht, Luers, Cook, Bruner, Kelso
Nays: None
Absent: Tomerlin
Mr. Stombaugh explained that if the three outbuildings were not on the lot, the
variance would not have to be heard because Mr. Goury's proposed additions
met all zoning requirements.
Dennis Luers made a motion that there was a special condition, specifically, the
site existed and was estimated that the main single family residence to which the
addition were proposed was constructed in 1947 with the outbuildings
constructed shortly thereafter. Mr. Luers further explained that the construction
predated the City's first zoning ordinance, which was enacted in 1955. Jim
Kelso seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Hecht, Luers, Cook, Bruner, Kelso
Nays: None
Absent: Tomerlin
Dennis Luers made a motion to approve the variance requests to Grapevine
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73, Section 43.E.3., Nonconforming Uses
and Structures, allowing an enclosed addition as well as porch addition to be
constructed at the rear of the an existing single family home, and to Section
15.G.7., Single Family District Regulations, allowing three, existing detached
single family structures to remain as developed at the rear of the property. Kip

BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA02-14 RANDY AND MIRIAM
GILBERT — 1213 SANDHURST COURT
Next the Board of Zoning Adjustment considered BZA02-14, submitted by Randy
and Miriam Gilbert for property located at 1213 Sandhurst Court, platted as Lot
22, Block 1, Forest Lake. The following request was from Grapevine
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73:
Section 15.G.2, "R-7.5" Single Family District Regulations, Area Regulations,
which requires the depth of the rear yard to be a minimum of 25 -feet.
The applicant requested a variance of two feet to this requirement for an
encroachment into the rear yard setback at the southwest corner of the
residence. If approved by the Board, it will allow a rear yard setback of 23 -feet
for an existing single family residence.
Mr. Stombaugh explained that Staff found that there was a special condition for
the requested variance, specifically, the single family residence was existing. Mr.
Stombaugh explained that when the residence was constructed in the mid to late
1980's, a form survey was not required at that time to ensure that the concrete
foundation met the setback requirements leading to occasional slight
encroachments into required yards.
Chairman Hecht announced that five letters of approval had been received.
With the applicant not being present and no one to speak regarding the case,
Ron Cook made a motion to close the public hearing. Kip Bruner seconded the
motion which prevailed by the following vote:
