PUBLIC HEARING
BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA17-11 JOSH ARCHER 403 EAST
WORTH STREET
The first item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA17-11 submitted
by Josh Archer for property located at 403 East Worth Street, platted as west 55 feet of
Lot 4, Block 34, City of Grapevine Addition.
Section 15.G.4., "R-7.5" Single Family District, Area Regulations requires a
minimum lot width of sixty-five (65') feet. The applicant requested a variance of ten
(10) feet, allowing a lot width of fifty five (55) feet for an existing lot.
Section 43.E.3, Nonconforming Uses and Structures allows the Board of Zoning
Adjustment to approve the remodeling and/or enlargement of a nonconforming
use. The applicant requested a special exception to allow the existing residential
structure to remain as developed along with an expansion as shown on the plot plan.
Mr. Triplett explained that Staff found a special condition existed for the special
exception request. Specifically, the subject lot was originally platted in 1913 predating
the City's first zoning ordinance adopted in 1955. Developed and platted property
existed adjacent to the subject site, on the east and west property lines, eliminating the
possibility to expand the site to meet the width requirements. The existing dwelling was
built in 1935 prior to the 1984 City Rezoning to "R-7.5" Single Family District.
Mr. Triplett stated that the owner intended to expand the existing dwelling from
approximately 2,372 square feet to approximately 3,700 square feet by adding a 1,297
square foot addition to the rear of the subject site which included an unenclosed
covered patio and expanded living area. The additions would not increase the level of
non-conformity of the subject site. Mr. Triplett further stated that the Historic
Preservation approved a Certificate of Appropriateness on July 27, 2017 for
construction of a new one story period style addition to the rear of the existing dwelling.
With no questions for Mr. Triplett, Kosse Maykus, representing property owners Nancy
and Randy Braden of 421 Smith Street, Grapevine, Texas, took the Oath of Truth; he
stated that the existing pool would be removed and replaced and that all construction
would take place in the rear of the residence. He requested favorable consideration of
his request and offered to answer any questions of the Board.
Debbie Holt asked Mr. Maykus how large of a pool deck was he constructing. He
explained that at this time the pool had not been designed. He went on to state that the
bulk of the area shown on the site plan was pool deck, from the rear garage to the
existing home, and the driveway may be removed but would be reconstructed in its
current configuration.
John Sheppard asked Mr. Maykus how large a profile the pool would take up in relation
to required landscaping. Mr. Maykus stated that he did not know and asked what his
thought process was. Mr. Sheppard stated there would be a huge run off drainage
situation to where it actually did not meet the same impervious coverage requirement.
Mr. Maykus stated that it would not be any more than what existed today. Mr. Sheppard
stated that a circle indicated for a pool on a site plan was hard to determine how far out
the deck went. Mr. Maykus replied, that currently it was all decking, some concrete and
some wood type decking. Mr. Sheppard stated, so in effect you have complete
impervious now. Mr. Maykus replied that where the six-foot building line was on the
west side of the property was open soil, from rear garage all the way to the house the
bulk of that was impervious coverage with some planting areas. He further stated that
he would get with the Building Official and be sensitive to the requirements.
Mr. Triplett notified the Board that Staff was able to contact the Assistant Building
Official and verified decking was considered impervious. He went on to state that when
you considered the building footprint, the paving and the amount of the pool decking,
the applicant would not be allowed to exceed 60 percent. Ms. Holt stated, so if the
applicant was at 58.9 percent now there was no pool deck that could be added unless
the driveway was converted to aggregate or crushed granite, there would be no room.
Mr. Triplett stated that they could not exceed 60 percent to work with whatever the
decking was they desired. Ms. Holt stated, that only left 1.1 percent to work with.
With no further questions for Mr. Maykus, and no additional speakers, Ken White made
a motion to close the public hearing. George Dalton seconded the motion which
prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Holt, White, Dierolf, Dalton, Sheppard
Nays: None
Absent: None

Discussion was held regarding impervious issues with property. In reference to pool
decking not being calculated as impervious area and issues regarding pool not being
labeled for re-construction and not addressing the amount of decking being installed not
being reflected on site plan provided to the Board. The Board had concerns that the
calculated impervious area was incorrect.
Debbie Holt stated that the applicant would like to address the Board.
Tracey Dierolf made a motion to reopen the public hearing. Ken White seconded the
motion which prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Holt, White, Dierolf, Dalton, Sheppard
Nays: None
Absent: None
Mr. Maykus readdressed the Board, he stated that the presentation was accurate, the
backyard area were pavers, not poured concrete, and pavers were not considered
impervious coverage. He stated that they would be under the required 60% impervious
area because pavers were around the pool, not poured in place impervious coverage, If
for some reason they were close to exceeding the impervious area allowed they could
construct the driveway with concrete runners instead of a solid driveway.
With no further questions for Mr. Maykus, and no additional speakers, Ken White made
a motion to close the public hearing. John Sheppard seconded the motion which
prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Holt, White, Dierolf, Dalton, Sheppard
Nays: None
Absent: None
Ken White made a motion that a special condition existed for the requested special
exception. Specifically, the subject lot was originally platted in 1913 predating the City's

adjacent to the subject site, on the east and west property lines, eliminating the
possibility to expand the site to meet the width requirements. The existing dwelling was

Nays: None

Ken White then made a motion to grant the following variance to "R-7.5" Single Family
District, Area Regulations: Section 15.G.4., allowing a lot width of 65-feet (65) for an
existing lot; and a motion to grant a special exception with regard to Section 43.E.3.,
Nonconforming Uses and Structures allowing the existing residential structure to remain
as developed along with an expansion as shown on the plot plan. George Dalton
seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote
