BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA01-27 WILLIAM S AREND JR 3401 MARSH LANE The first item was for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider BZA01-27, submitted by Mr. William S. Arend, Jr., for property located at 3401 Marsh Lane and platted as Lot 21, Block 1, Woodcrest Estates. The following request was from Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73: Section 42.C.3., Supplementary District Regulations, Accessory Buildings, requires an accessory building be located no nearer than six feet to any rear Board of Zoning Adjustment 11/05/2001 property line and shall be subject to the same sideyard requirements, as the principal structure. Section 14.G.3., "R-12.5" Single Family District Regulations, Area Requirements mandates a minimum sideyard setback of eight feet. The applicant was seeking a variance of five feet to this requirement. If approved,. a sideyard setback of three feet would be allowed for a detached garage/accessory building along the west property line. Mr. Stombaugh explained that Staff found that there were special conditions, specifically the existing drive location which would provide access to the garage, the existing in -ground swimming pool, and the heavily treed southeastern portion of the lot precluded locating the garage anywhere else on the lot. Mr. Stombaugh showed photographs of the property and noted that the small shed located in the southeast corner of the property would be removed. Mr. Bill Arend, applicant, of 3401 Marsh Lane, Grapevine, took the Oath of Truth and thanked the Board for considering his application. Mr. Arend presented the Board with an approval letter from his neighbors, Leon and Marty Baze of 3411 Marsh Lane. He explained that he chose the proposed location in an effort to save existing trees in the back yard. He explained that he wished to construct the structure for the restoring of several cars that he owned. Mr. Bruner asked if the structure could be moved more toward the east, closer to the pool in order to maintain the required sideyard setback. Mr. Arend explained that he chose the location in order to preserve a decent run- off and grade. Chairman Hecht announced that one other letter of approval had been received. With no one else to speak regarding the request, Kip Bruner made a motion to close the public hearing.
