NEW BUSINESS BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA02-18 JOHNNY SWYDEN 2425 WHITNEY LANE The first item was for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider BZA02-18, submitted by Mr. Johnny Swyden, for property located at 2425 Whitney Lane, platted as Lot 12, Block 1, Blair Manor, City Of Grapevine. The following request was from Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73: Section 15.G.2, "R-7.5" Single Family District, Area Regulations, requires a 25 - foot rear yard setback. Board of Zoning Adjustment 11/04/2002 The applicant requested a variance of 12 -feet to this requirement at the narrowest point near the northwest corner of the lot. If approved by the Board, it would allow a garage addition with a minimum rear yard setback of 13 -feet at the northwest corner of the lot. Mr. Stombaugh explained that Staff found that there was a special condition, specifically the angled rear property line precluded any reasonable addition to the rear of the house without an encroachment into the rear yard. He explained that Staff's recommendation of approval was contingent on the applicant attaching the addition to the existing home and ensuring that the addition's exposed wall covering matched that of the existing home. Mr. Stombaugh explained that the Board denied a similar request from Mr. Swyden at the January 7, 2002 meeting. Johnny Swyden, applicant, of 2425 Whitney Lane, Grapevine, took the Oath of Truth and explained that the concrete was existing, the garage would be bricked to match the house and that his property backed up to Corp of Engineers property. He explained that the Corp of Engineers had no problem with the proposed addition. With no one else to speak regarding the case, Jim Kelso made a motion to close the public hearing. Debbie Holt seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Cook, Bruner, Kelso, Holt, Tomerlin Nays: None Absent: Hecht, Luers Kip Bruner then made a motion that there was no special condition. Ron Cook seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Bruner, Cook Nays: Kelso, Holt, Tomerlin Absent: Hecht, Luers The motion failed due to lack of a majority vote. Debbie Holt voiced concerns about the size of the addition and its proposed location. Mr. Swyden explained that the size of the proposed addition was needed for a 27 -foot long boat and the extra space was needed so his vehicles could be driven into the existing garage. Board of Zoning Adjustment 11/04/2002 There was discussion about using the east side of the house for the addition, but Mr. Swyden explained that his electrical equipment and heating and air- conditioning units were located on that side. After further discussion, Carl Tomerlin made a motion that there was not a special condition. Kip Bruner seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Cook, Bruner, Holt, Tomerlin Nays: Kelso Absent: Hecht, Luers The variance was denied. BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA02-19. PEMBERTON FINE CUSTOM HOMES — 201 CENTRAL AVENUE Next, the Board of Zoning Adjustment considered BZA02-19, submitted by Richard Pemberton of Pemberton Fine Custom Homes for property located at 201 Central Avenue, platted as Lot 2R, Block A, Pemberton Addition. The following request was from Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73: Section 16.H, "R-5.0" Zero Lot Line District, Buffer Area Regulations which requires that all buildings in the "R-5.0" Zero Lot Line District be set back a minimum of 40 -feet from the adjoining property line when located adjacent to an existing multifamily district or a non-residential district. The applicant requested a variance of five feet to this requirement and if approved by the Board would allow a building setback of 35 -feet from the adjoining non-residential zoning district to the south. Mr. Stombaugh explained that Staff found that there was a special condition for the requested variance, specifically, the lot was platted in which the applicant proposed to place the proposed single family home as far north as possible on the lot to minimize the encroachment into the buffer area. Richard Pemberton, applicant, of 1701 Dunn Street, Grapevine, took the Oath of Truth and explained that this lot had been replatted a year ago. He explained that when the City widened Turner Street, some of the land was taken from the north lot which reduced the square footage of both lots. Mr. Pemberton also explained that the plans the property owner's had chosen would not fit on the lot without a variance to the side yard on the south side. Debbie Holt asked if the lot to the north would need a variance in the future. Mr. Pemberton explained that it would not need a variance. 3 Board of Zoning Adjustment 11/04/2002 With no one else to speak for or against the request, Kip Bruner made a motion to close the public hearing. Debbie Holt seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Cook, Bruner, Kelso, Holt, Tomerlin Nays: None Absent: Hecht, Luers Kip Bruner made a motion that there was a special condition, specifically the lot was platted in which the applicant proposed to place the proposed single family home as far north as possible on the lot to minimize the encroachment into the buffer area.
