PUBLIC HEARING
BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE B ER, 1720
SAGEBRUSH TRAIL
The first item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA1 1-06 submitted
by Joji Sauer for property located at 1720 Sagebrush Trail, legally described as Lot 9,
Block 1, Hood Ridge Estates.
Section 42.C.3, Supplementary District Regulations, Accessory Buildings
requires accessory buildings in a residential district be located on the rear one-
half of the lot and at least 10 -feet from any dwelling or building.
The applicant requested a special exception allowing construction of a detached
accessory structure to be used as a garage to be located in the front one-half of the lot.
Mr. Triplett explained that Staff found a special condition existed for the requested
special exception. Specifically, placement of a detached garage in the rear yard was
impractical because of the location of the dwelling, the existence of a swimming pool in
the rear yard, and the lot was not a typical cul-de-sac configured lot.
He stated that the existing dwelling was built in 1979; the carport and swimming pool
were built in 2004 and 2009. He went on to state that the available required front yard
far exceeded the minimum required setback of 30 -feet, that the detached garage would
be approximately 1,440 square feet and would meet all other ordinance requirements.
With no further questions for Mr. Triplett, Raquel Sauer representing property owner Joji
Sauer of 1720 Sagebrush Trail, Grapevine, Texas, Texas, took the Oath of Truth; she
explained to the Board that she was representing her father Joji Sauer and offered to
answer any questions of the Board and requested favorable consideration of his
request.
Richard Adams asked if the structure would be all brick and why the structure was so
large. She stated that the structure would be all brick and that her father drove a
handicap van and there were several drivers in the house.
Board of Zoning Adjustment
2 8/1/11
Robert Rainwater asked if there would be a separate approach. Greg Lee, representing
property owner Joji Sauer of 2433 FM Road 917, Mansfield, Texas took the Oath of
Truth. He stated he was helping the family construct the garage, and in regards to the
drive approach; the existing approach would be widened. Mr. Rainwater asked why the
structure was so far away from the residence, He stated that they wanted to keep some
front yard intact.
With no further questions for Ms. Sauer and Mr. Lee, David Bennett of 2102 Sagebrush
Trail, Grapevine, Texas, took the Oath of Truth; and explained to the Board that he
owned the home directly to the left of the proposed detached garage. He explained to
the Board that when he was first made aware of the setbacks for the detached garage
he did not approve of the location, but had spoken with Mr. Sauer and he had agreed to
move it over ten -feet (10'). Mr. Bennett stated that he was not opposed to a garage, but
did not like the original location. Some discussion was held regarding the photos that
Mr. Bennett submitted.
Robert Rainwater asked Mr. Lee how tall the structure would be. He stated that it was
eleven -feet (11') to the eaves and thought it was eighteen -feet (18') to the peak. He
further stated that Mr. Sauer was not opposed to relocating the structure. Mr. Bennett
requested that the Board place a stipulation that if the structure was _allowed that it
would be moved over further. Ken White asked Mr. Bennett to clarify if he was
requesting the structure be relocated additional ten -feet (10'), he stated that was
correct.
Mr. Stombaugh clarified that height of structure was measured to mid point of roof and
could not be more that sixteen -feet.
With no further questions for Mr. Bannister, and no additional speakers, Richard Adams
made a motion to close the public hearing. Ken White seconded the motion which
prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes:
Cook, Adams, Holt, White, Rainwater

FOREST HILLS ROAD

by Mark Cegielski for property located at 2111 Forest Hills Road, legally described as
Lot 9, Block 12, Reed Addition.
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 allowing the existing residential structure to
remain as developed and a new garage to be constructed as shown on the plot plan.
Mr. Triplett explained that Staff did not find a special condition exist for the requested
special exception. Specifically, the proposed encroachment would be the result of a self
imposed hardship and would increase the level of nonconformance to the subject site.
Triplett explained - t. the
Board 1e:..'! `request• r: new
- !r r g'. a Staff
recommended the Board approve a special exception allowing the existing carport to
remain as on plot plan.
He stated that records were unavailable to determine when the carport was constructed,
and according to the applicant the carport existed when the dwelling was purchased in
2001.
With no further questions for Mr. Triplett, Mark and Cynthia Cegielski of 2111 Forest
Hills Road, Grapevine, Texas, Texas, took the Oath of Truth. They explained to the
Board that on the north side of the property there were existing mature trees, and on the
south side they would have to relocate a sewer line, utility pole and electrical service to
the house and two (2) other utilities. There was a lot of traffic due to access to the lake
and people were constantly using there driveway to turn around, everything in the
carport was exposed. They stated that they traveled a lot with there jobs and felt from a
safety prospective they needed to construct a garage. The neighborhood was very
eclectic, and they were trying to stay in line with the area.
Chairman Holt announced that five (5) letters of approval had been received, along with
the petition of 24 names submitted by the applicant.
Ron Cook asked where the electrical pole was in relation to the house. Mr. Cegielski
stated that it was on the south side of the residence and that a driveway would have to
be constructed where the power pole was. He further stated that according to Oncor it
would cost approximately $10,000 to relocate the pole and service, there were also two
(2) other utilities that would have to be relocated. Mr. Cook asked if they were to remove
the carport could a driveway be installed between the power pole and house to allow a
detached garage to be constructed in the backyard. He stated that the power pole
4 Board of Zoning AdjWmen[

would have to be removed; he also stated that they were trying to utilize the existing
roofline to make it look like one building.
Scott Williams clarified that the power pole was on private property and was an unusual
circumstance.
With no further questions for Mr. and Mrs. Cegielski, and no additional speakers,
Richard Adams made a motion to close the public hearing. Ken White seconded the
motion which prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Cook, Adams, Holt, White, Rainwater
Nays: None
Absent: None
Richard Adams made a motion that a special condition existed for the requested special
exception. Specifically, the subject site was a corner lot developed with a dwelling that
was built in 1968. In addition to the dwelling an attached carport and detached
accessory structures were present and the lot required a 35 -foot setback adjacent to
each street frontage. Ken White seconded the motion which prevailed by the following
vote:
Ayes: Cook, Adams, Holt, White
Nays: Rainwater
Absent: None
Richard Adams then made a motion to grant the following special exception to Section
43.E.3., Nonconforming Uses and Structures allowing the existing residential structure
to remain as developed and a new garage be constructed as shown on the plot plan.

REDBIRD LANE
The next item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA11-10 submitted
by Bob Tatangelo for property located at 3504 Red Bird Lane, proposed to be platted as
Lot 12R1, Block 6, Placid Peninsula Addition.
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 allowing the existing residential structure to
remain as developed as shown on the plot plan.
Mr. Triplett explained that Staff found a special condition existed for the requested
special exception. Specifically, the site was an existing developed lot, and the existing
5 Board of Zoning Adjustment
B11111
residential structure was constructed in 1959 prior to the site being annexed within the
City of Grapevine. The site was noncompliant with the current zoning ordinance (82-73)
relative to the rear yard setback for the existing dwelling.
He explained to the Board that the applicant intended to replat the subject site into two
(2) lots. The southern portion of the site had a detached garage which was proposed to
be remodeled into a single family dwelling, and the northern portion of the site would
continue to be used as developed as a single family residence; the existing residence
encroached approximately five (5) feet into the required 25 -foot rear yard setback. He
stated that when the property was platted as two (2) lots in 1951, the subject site was
outside of the City of Grapevine. In 1959 the dwelling was built and the site was
incorporated into a second section of the subdivision. In 1966 the property was annexed
into the City of Grapevine and in 1994 the subject site was replatted from two (2) lots
into one (1) lot for the purpose of building a detached garage.
With no further questions for Mr. Triplett, Bob Tatangelo of 3529 Red Bird Lane,
Grapevine, Texas, Texas, took the Oath of Truth; he gave a brief presentation to the
Board and requested favorable consideration of his request and offered to answer any
questions of the Board.
With no questions for Mr. Tatangelo, Ms. Lynn Harper of 3421 Red Bird Lane,
Grapevine, Texas, took the Oath of Truth; she explained to the Board her concerns
regarding the properties becoming rental, if the Tatangelo's had no intentions of living
on the property. She also voiced concerns of the replatting of the property. Ms. Holt
clarified that the Board was only addressing the issue of the existing residence and it's
encroachment into the rear yard setback.
Chairman Holt announced that one (1) letter of protest had been received.
With no questions for Ms. Harper, and no additional speakers, Richard Adams made a
motion to close the public hearing. Robert Rainwater seconded the motion which
prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Cook, Adams, Holt, White, Rainwater

SOUTH
The next item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA11-11 submitted
by Perry Leonard for property located at 604 South Main Street, legally described as Lot
1A, Block 14, Original Town of Grapevine Addition.
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 allowing the relocation of an existing pole
sign as shown on the site plan.
Mr. Triplett explained that Staff found a special condition existed for the requested
special exception. Specifically, the site is an existing developed lot, and rezoning of the
property during the 1984 City Rezoning and the development and adoption of a new
zoning ordinance (Ord. 82-73) placed the sign in a non -conforming status.
He went on to explain that the subject sign, 32.53 feet in height, approximately 210
square feet in size was located adjacent to South Main Street, along the south portion of
the site and approximately 50 -feet north of the new Convention and Visitors Bureau
Headquarters, at Hudgins Street and South Main Street the sign would be relocated to
the northeast corner of the site, to improve the visibility of the sign. Permit records for
the original sign were unavailable but according to Tarrant Appraisal District, the
building was built in 1966.
With no further questions for Mr. Triplett, Perry Leonard of 330 Longview Drive, Keller,
Texas, took the Oath of Truth; he gave a brief presentation to the Board and requested
favorable consideration of his request and offered to answer any questions of the
Board.
Chairman Holt announced that one (1) letter of approval had been received.
With no questions for Mr. Leonard, and no additional speakers, Ken White made a
motion to close the public hearing. Robert Rainwater seconded the motion which

exception. Specifically, the site was an existing developed lot, and the existing pole sign
was in complete compliance under the established guidelines at the time. The
subsequent 1984 City Rezoning of the property and adoption of a new zoning ordinance
placed the sign in non-conforming status. Ken White seconded the motion which
prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Cook, Adams, Holt, White, Rainwater

OAR® OF ZONING A®JUST EI4T CASE BZA11-07, RICHARD ROTHIFELDER,
1701 WEST STATE HIGHWAY 114
The next item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA11-07 submitted
by Richard Rothfelder for property located at 1701 West State Highway 114, legally
described as Lot 2, Block 1, Wal-Mart Addition.
Section 68.G, Board of Adjustment. Appeals to the Board of Adjustment may be
taken by any person aggrieved, or by any officer of the department, board or bureau of
the City, affected by any decision of the building inspector or other administrative officer
of the City relative to the Zoning Ordinance. Such appeal shall be taken within fifteen
(15) days after the date of the decision of the building inspector or other administrative
officer has been rendered, by filing with the officer from whom the appeal is taken shall
forthwith transmit to the Board all the papers constituting the record from which the
appeal was taken.
The applicant requested the Board overturn the decision of the Building Official relative
to the illegal alteration of a nonconforming use, specifically a billboard sign.
Mr. Williams stated that Staff found no special condition existed to support the request.
He went on to explain that CBS Outdoor Inc., owned an off site advertising sign located
in front of the Sam's Club store, at 1701 West State Highway 114.
On October 25, 2010, a letter was received from the law firm Rothfelder and Falick,
L.L.P., which represented CBS Outdoor Inc. The letter requested permission to alter this
billboard sign, specifically removing four -feet (4') from the sign that overhung the newly
acquired State right-of-way.
Board of Zoning Adjustment
8 811/11
On November 10, 2010, the State of Texas awarded damages to the property owner for
removal of the sign.
In response to the October 25, 2010, letter, the decision of the Building Official was
provided to the applicant, delivered through the City Attorney, Boyle and Lowry, on
December 8, 2010. This response clearly stated the nonconforming sign could not be
moved, altered, or adjusted. Sometime after this decision, the sign was illegally altered.
On February 22, 2011, a letter informed CBS Outdoor through their Attorneys; that due
to the illegal remodeling of the sign, all legal nonconforming status had been lost. On
February 24, 2011, the City Attorney sent the applicant a similar letter.
On March 1, 2011, the applicant sent another letter to the City Attorney, admitting that
CBS Outdoor altered the sign. On March 8, 2011, an appeal was received in the
Development Services Department. The appeal was more than four (4) months after the
original decision which stated the sign could not be altered.
Mr. Williams stated that the appeal should be denied based on the following documents.
Zoning Ordinance Section 68. Board of Adjustment, Paragraph G, required a maximum
of fifteen (15) days; this submittal was four (4) months subsequent to that determination.
Section 60, Sign Standards of the Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance did not
list billboards or off -premise signage as a permitted use, therefore it could be
established that this sign was a nonconforming use.
Section 105, Permits, 105.1, of the 2006 International Building Code that was adopted
by the City of Grapevine required a permit to enlarge, alter, repair, move or demolish a
building or structure. These sign structures were not exempt from the list of
"exemptions" in the adopted building code. No building permit was ever requested or
received for this illegal alteration.
Section 60.A, Sign Standards, Sign Permits of the Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning
Ordinance required a zoning permit for any alteration or remodeling of a sign. There
was no zoning permit to alter or remodel this sign.
Section 43.D.2, Nonconforming Uses and Structures, Termination of Nonconforming
Uses of the Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance allowed a legal
nonconforming use to exist, but did not allow the remodeling or enlargement of that
nonconforming use. This nonconforming use was illegally remodeled in violation of this
section.
Section 43.D.3.b, Nonconforming Uses and Structures, Termination of Nonconforming
Uses of the Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance stated: "The violation of any
of the provisions of this Ordinance or violation of any Ordinance of the City of Grapevine
with respect to a nonconforming use shall terminate immediately the right to operate
such nonconforming use." Staff had shown several violations of ordinances that
included violation of the Building Code, not obtaining a building permit for the alteration,
violation of Zoning Ordinance, altering a sign without a zoning permit and violation of
the Zoning Ordinance for alteration of a nonconforming use.
9 Board of Zoning Adjustment
8/1111
Section 43.1.2.C.2, Right-of-way Acquisition by Governmental Agency, Compensation
for Noncompliance of the Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance stated: "The
exemption shall not apply to the property if the governmental agency offered
compensation to the property owner for demolition, removal, relocation, or replacement
of improvements or other measures curative of the violation of the City codes or
ordinances caused by the right-of-way acquisition." Mr. Williams stated that this section
had been added because the applicant felt that they were subject to relief under this
section. The property owner had been offered compensation for the taking of this right-
of-way easement. Therefore, exemption from compliance with the Grapevine
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance was not applicable.
Richard Adams asked Mr. Williams if the alteration took place after the Building Officials
letter of December 8, 2010. He stated that it had.
With no further questions for Mr. Williams, Richard Rothfelder, with Rothfelder & Falick,
LLP, representing CBS Outdoor, of 1201 Louisiana Street, #550, Houston, Texas, took
the Oath of Truth; he proceeded by handing out his presentation to the Board. Mr.
Rothfelder stated that what CBS Outdoor, joined with the State of Texas wanted was to
take the billboard that had been permitted and operational since the early 1980's and
remove the four -feet (4') that overhung the right-of-way.
He stated they were appealing the February 22, 2011, order, not an order that was four
(4) months previous on December 8, 2010. He stated that the February 22, 2011,
i.ecision was appealed within the required fifteen days (15).
He explained to the Board that the widening of State Highway 114 was an important key
in this case. The actual billboard pole was outside of the proposed right-of-way but the
billboard face overhung four -feet (4) of the new proposed highway. He stated that CBS
Outdoor had three (3) alternatives to remedy the situation which were supported by the
State of Texas. The first originally addressed in the October 10, 2010 letter to the City,
was shifting the face four -feet (4'). The second was to remove the four -foot (4) panel
that overhung the right-of-way. The third was to acquire the billboard through eminent
domain by condemnation proceedings. He went on to explain the ramifications of not
allowing the billboard to remain. CBS Outdoor received a letter from TxDOT dated
January 7, 2011, stating aerial encroachments must be eliminated by February 1, 2011.
In deference to Grapevine's letter dated December 8, 2010, that stated the face could
not be shifted; CBS Outdoor did not do what Mr. Williams said they could not do. They
removed the four -foot (4) panel that encroached into the aerial right-of-way. As a result,
that triggered the letter of February 22, 2011; which was the subject of today's appeal,
not the December 8, 2010, letter. Mr. Rothfelder stated that what was being appealed
was not something which happened in December. He further stated this was important
because within fifteen (15) days of that decision, notice of appeal was given. It was
dated February 28, 2011, responding to the City Attorney who had written a similar
letter. The City was advised of CBS Outdoor's intention to appeal in a letter dated
March 1, 2011, which included a more exhaustive explanation why the decision was
wrong and should be appealed.
He went on to explain to the Board why removal of the four -foot (4') panel was
something allowed without a permit. He cited City of Grapevine Zoning Ordinance
Section 60, and Section 43. He maintained that a sign or substantial part of it was
Board of Zordrig Adjustment
10 811/11
considered to have been destroyed only if the cost of repairing the sign was more than
sixty (60) percent of the cost of erecting a new sign of the same type at the same
location. He explained to the Board the various cost involved in removal of the four -foot
(4) panel, relocating the four -foot (4) panel to the other end of the billboard and the
cost of constructing a brand new billboard.
He continued to explain Grapevine's regulations Section 43.1 that addressed right-of-
way acquisition by Governmental Agencies. He stated in the event a right-of-way
acquisition by a Governmental Agency caused a property or it's existing improvements
to be in violation of a City Zoning Ordinance, subdivision rule, or other land use
regulation or ordinance, the property shall be exempt from the provision to the extent
the violation was caused by the right-of-way acquisition, subject to certain conditions
that did not exist here.
He stated that Mr. Williams pointed out the exemption did not apply because CBS
Outdoor had been compensated for the removal of the billboard. He said this was
incorrect; CBS Outdoor had not been compensated. He stated that Stacey -Trip had not
been compensated by the State of Texas for the elimination of her ground rental
income. He also stated CBS Outdoor's exemption for the violation that occurred
because of this Governmental Agency property acquisition applied for this case. There
had been no compensation paid or offered to CBS Outdoor.
Mr. Rothfelder went on to address why he felt CBS Outdoor, was not required to obtain
permits for the work performed that caused the billboard to lose its nonconforming
status. He specifically questioned the wording used in City regulations in the letter dated
February 22, 2011, that ordered the sign to be removed. Section 60A, required a permit
when a sign was painted, constructed, erected, remodeled, relocated, or expanded.
Sec. 43.D.2, prohibited a sign from being remodeled or enlarged. Section 105.1, which
required a permit to construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, demolish or change the
occupancy of a building or structure. He stated that none of these contemplated the
activity that occurred, which was decreasing the size of the sign and its nonconformity.
He also stated that the word, "modification" used in the February 22, 2011, letter was
absent from City regulations. He went on to state that if the Board ruled the billboard to
have been enlarged or expanded without a permit that justified the order for removal, he
requested the Board consider a variance. He cited Section 68.H.2., that addressed the
Boards ability to hear appeals and variance request.
Mr. Rothfelder summarized by stating the appeal was timely and had been filed eight (8)
days after the letter dated February 22, 2011. Decreasing the size of the sign was not
among activities that were prohibited without a permit. It was not enlarged, expanded or
modified. He stated that modified was not used in City regulations but was used in the
February 22, 2011, letter, which was the subject of this appeal. He stated this was a
classic situation for a variance, due to a substantial hardship and a situation where the
taxpayers would be forced to pay over two -million dollars in acquisition cost. He
requested the Board overturn the decision and grant a variance to allow the billboard to
continue to remain as it was right now.
Debbie Holt asked Mr. Rothfelder to clarify exactly where he was pulling from the
ordinance that remodeling was defined only as an enlargement. She said remodeling
was a term that did not define going smaller or larger. The term defined remodeling as a
11 Board of Zordng Adjustmerd
&1/11
change. The letters received from the City were clear; change implied larger or smaller.
He replied that confusion of words was due to vocabulary used in Grapevine
regulations. She stated, no, they were clear, the City Attorney and City Official's letters
were very clear that remodeling would be a change; why was a change only important if
it was bigger. He stated the reason was the letter addressed an activity that was not the
subject of this appeal; the letter prohibited a shifting of the face.
Ms. Holt suggested they revisit the December 8, 2010, letter. She stated the City very
clearly responded by stating that any alteration of that sign would be a violation, it said
nothing about only shifting. He cited the first alternative that was authorized by the State
of Texas, for a shifting of the face, "...a monopole sign face overhanging the proposed
right-of-way to be shifted to the remainder..." so what was addressed in the letter was to
shift the face. She stated it was not TxDOT's regulations that applied. It was the City of
Grapevine's Zoning Ordinance that applied. The City of Grapevine stated that no
change could be made to a nonconforming use without a permit. Discussion continued
regarding clarification of vocabulary.
Mr. Rothfelder stated that the choice was to defy the January letter from the State of
Texas ordering the aerial encroachment to be removed. But out of deference to the City
did not undertake the specific activity that Mr. William and Mr. Boyle stated could not be
done. The October 25, 2010, letter asked for permission to shift the face. The City said
no, and the face was not shifted. Subsequently a letter was received from the State of
Texas ordering the aerial encroachment to be eliminated by February 1, 2011. CBS
Outdoor removed the four -foot (4') panel that overhung the right-of-way. This was not
an activity that was addressed in either the original request or the original denial, an
action that had not been denied.
Attorney Matthew Boyle asked Mr. Rothfelder who he was representing. He stated CBS
Outdoor. Mr. Boyle asked if he was representing Stacey -Trip. He said no. Mr. Boyle
asked if he was writing on behalf of Stacey -Trip and CBS Outdoor, in the letter dated
October 25, 2010, and if he was representing Stacey -Trip at that time. He stated Mr.
Scott signed the letter or his partner Edward Burbach. Mr. Boyle asked if CBS Outdoor
was the client he was representing tonight and if their interest in this matter was
currently the subject of an eminent domain case. He stated yes it was. Mr. Boyle asked
if a good faith offer had been made by the State of Texas to CBS Outdoor, prior to the
filing of the states eminent domain petition. He stated they did not. Mr. Boyle asked if
they had appealed the Special Commissioners ruling. He stated yes. Mr. Boyle asked if
the sign in question had been altered since December 8, 2010. He stated that it had not.
The face size had been reduced which was allowed under Grapevine's regulations
without a permit.
Robert Rainwater asked Mr. Rothfelder if any remedies were pursued with the State of
Texas as far as variances to the right-of-way prior to starting procedures with the City of
Grapevine. Mr. Rothfelder stated that there were no variance procedures under
TxDOT's regulations other than the procedure under 21.160 to accommodate the road
widening by either the shifting or face reduction.
With no further questions for Mr. Rothfelder, Sejin Brooks, Assistant Attorney General
representing the State of Texas, 300 West 15th Street, Austin, Texas, took the Oath of
Truth; he stated that the State of Texas did not compensate nor make an offer to CBS
Board of ZoNng Acgustmerd
12 811111
Outdoor. He stated the parties did file objections and if one party objected all parties are
allowed to object. He acknowledged that the State of Texas had no jurisdiction in this
case; and was a City of Grapevine issue. He went on to explain the procedures of
eminent domain cases.
Debbie Holt asked Mr. Brooks if the State of Texas told CBS Outdoor, how to address
the concern. He stated the State of Texas told CBS Outdoor, to address the concern;
the overhang in the right-of-way had to be removed, and as soon as the right-of-way
lines were removed the State of Texas had no more interest. She asked if the State of
Texas acknowledged the City of Grapevine's right to regulate the areas within their
boundaries. He stated absolutely.
Attorney Matthew Boyle asked Mr. Brooks if TxDOT condemned the billboard itself in
regards to the eminent domain case. Mr. Brooks stated there was an overhang and the
State of Texas filed suit against CBS Outdoor. Mr. Boyle asked if the State of Texas
was looking and seeking to acquire by eminent domain a right to enter the property, with
the sole purpose of removing all of said two (2) outdoor advertising signs. Mr. Brooks
stated yes, the State of Texas had removed the Clear Channel Sign, but with the CBS
Outdoor sign the only way the State of Texas could address it was to sue for the entire
structure. Mr. Boyle asked if all statutory prerequisites were achieved in advance of
filing the eminent domain petition on behalf of the State of Texas. He stated yes. Mr.
Boyle asked if that included making a good faith offer as required by law. He stated yes.
Mr. Boyle asked if CBS Outdoor had appealed the award of the Special Commissioner.
He stated yes.
Mr. Boyle asked Mr. Brooks if the following excerpt was from an e-mail he had sent Mr.
Rothfelder on February 23, 2011, "....TxDOT did not have jurisdiction over whether or
not the sign was currently legal, to include the setback issue, as those were issues that
were the City ordinances of the City of Grapevine...." he stated that was correct.
With no further questions for Mr. Brooks, and no additional speakers, Richard Adams
made a motion to close the public hearing. Robert Rainwater seconded the motion
which prevailed by the following vote:

BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA11-08, RICHARD ROTHIFELDER,
1701 WEST STATE HIGHWAY 114
The next item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA1 1-08 submitted
by Richard Rothfelder for property located at 1701 West State Highway 114, legally
described as Lot 2, Block 1, Wal-Mart Addition.
Section 43.D.2., Nonconforming Uses and Structures, Termination of
Nonconforming Uses allows a nonconforming use to be occupied, used, and
maintained in good repair, but it shall not be remodeled or enlarged except as
hereinafter provided.
The applicant requested a variance for the illegal remodeling of a nonconforming use;
specifically the removal of a four -foot (4') section of a billboard sign, and to add four -feet
(4') to the opposite end of the sign.
Section 43.F., Nonconforming Uses and Structures, Limlitations of Changing
Nonconforming Uses prohibits changing a nonconforming use to another
nonconforming use, and prohibits expanding a nonconforming use.
The applicant cited Section 43.F., as a section of the Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning
Ordinance requiring a variance. However, the City had never contended that there was
a violation of this section of the Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance.
Mr. Williams stated that Staff addressed Section 43.F., because the applicant listed it in
their request. The City had never contended that there had been any expansion of a
nonconforming use. However in deference to the applicant, Staff included it in this
request.
Mr. Williams stated that Staff found no special condition existed to support the request.
He went on to explain that CBS Outdoor Inc., owned an off site advertising sign located
in front of the Sam's Club store, at 1701 West State Highway 114.
On October 25, 2010, a letter was received from the law firm Rothfelder and Falick,
L.L.P., which represented CBS Outdoor Inc. The letter requested permission to alter this
billboard sign, specifically the removal of four -feet (4) from the sign that overhung the
newly acquired State right-of-way.
On November 10, 2010, the State of Texas awarded damages to the property owner for
removal of the sign.
In response to the October 25, 2010, letter, the decision of the Building Official was
provided to the applicant, delivered through the City Attorney, Boyle and Lowry, on
December 8, 2010. This response clearly stated the nonconforming sign could not be
Board of Zoning Adjustment
14 8/1111
moved, altered, or adjusted. Sometime after this decision, four -feet (4') of the sign had
been removed.
On February 22, 2011, a letter informing CBS Outdoor, through there Attorneys, that
due to the illegal remodeling of the sign, all legal nonconforming status had been lost.
On February 24, 2011, the City Attorney sent the applicant a similar letter.
On March 1, 2011, the applicant sent a letter to the City Attorney, admitting that CBS
Outdoor altered the sign. On March 8, 2011, an appeal was received in the
Development Services Department, more than four (4) months following the original
decision that the sign could not be altered.
Mr. Williams stated that the variance request must be denied based on the following:
Section 68.H.3., Board of Adjustment, of the Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning
Ordinance provides the Board of Adjustment to authorize upon appeal in special cases,
such variances from the terms of this Ordinance as would not be contrary to the public
interest, where, owing to special conditions, the literal enforcement of the provision of
this Ordinance would result in unnecessary hardship, so that the spirit of this Ordinance
shall be observed and substantial justice done.
The literal enforcement of the Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance would not
result in unnecessary hardship for the applicant. Any hardship was clearly self-imposed
as the applicant's client knowingly and willfully proceeded in illegal remodeling and
altering of a nonconforming use in disregard of the written direction and decision of the
Building Official and City Attorney.
Furthermore, the property owner's interest in the sign had been condemned by the
Texas Department of Transportation, which would ultimately lead to the applicant being
fully compensated for the removal of the sign.
This case did not meet any established thresholds for a variance request. It was Staff's
contention that the Board was not obligated to hear this case, because it was not timely
appealed.
Section 60, Sign Standards of the Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance did not
list billboards as an approved use in the zoning ordinance; therefore this sign was
considered a nonconforming use.
Section 105 Permits, 105.1 of the 2006 International Building Code stated, "Any owner
or authorized agent who intended to construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, demolish, or
change the occupancy of a building or structure, shall obtain a permit." No permits were
ever applied for or issued. Mr. Williams stated there were engineered plans submitted
for the illegal alteration in the Board's packet that showed a four -foot (4) removal of the
portion that overhung the right-of-way. They were sealed by a State of Texas
Professional Engineer and showed structural elements removed with reference to the
2006 International Building Code adopted by the City of Grapevine.
15 Board of Zondng Adjustment
8/1/1 t
Section 60.A, Sign Standards, Sign Permits of the Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning
Ordinance required a zoning permit for any remodeling of a sign. There was no zoning
permit to alter or remodel this sign.
Section 43.D.2, Nonconforming Uses and Structures, Termination of Nonconforming
Uses of the Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance allowed a legal
nonconforming use to exist, but did not allow the remodeling or enlargement of that
nonconforming use. This nonconforming use was illegally remodeled in violation of this
section.
Section 43.D.3.b, Nonconforming Uses and Structures, Termination of Nonconforming
Uses of the Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance stated: "The violation of any
of the provisions of this Ordinance or violation of any Ordinance of the City of Grapevine
with respect to a nonconforming use shall terminate immediately the right to operate
such nonconforming use." Staff had shown several violations of ordinances that
included violation of the Building Code, not obtaining a building permit for the alteration,
violation of Zoning Ordinance, altering a sign without a zoning permit and violation of
the Zoning Ordinance for alteration of a nonconforming use.
Section 43.1.2.C.2, Right-of-way Acquisition by Governmental Agency, Staff contended
this was not applicable in this case as there was compensation through the award of the
Special Commissioners to the property owner.
With no questions for Mr. Williams, Richard Rothfelder, with Rothfelder & Falick, LLP,
representing CBS Outdoor of 1201 Louisiana Street, #550, Houston, Texas, took the
Oath of Truth; Mr. Rothfelder stated time could be saved by incorporating comments of
case number BZAI 1-07 as well as written materials that had already been distributed to
the Board. He requested that all background and legal issues applicable only to the
variance request under case number BZA1 1-08 be reflected.
Mr. Rothfelder explained TxDOT's and the State of Texas means to accommodate
highway improvements. He stated CBS Outdoor, preferred the alternative of shifting the
face of the sign as addressed in the October 25, 2010 letter to the City. This was denied
in the City's letter dated December 8, 2010. The State ordered CBS Outdoor, to
eliminate aerial encroachments by February 1, 2011. CBS Outdoor, in accordance with
the State's letter removed a four -foot (4') panel that overhung the aerial encroachment.
That removal triggered letters from the Building Official and City Attorney on February
22, 2011, and February 24, 2011, stating the act was an illegal modification. He stated
the term; "modification" was not among the prohibited activities without a permit. The
letters further stated removal of the four -foot (4) panel was illegal and terminated the
non -conforming use and ordered the billboard to be removed. Mr. Rothfelder stated that
within fifteen (15) days of the letter from the City dated February 22, 2011, CBS
Outdoor, gave notice of appeal, and for this particular case gave notice of its intent to
seek a variance. CBS Outdoor, provided notice in a letters dated February 28, 2011,
and supplemented with March 1, 2011, and March 8, 2011.
Mr. Rothfelder quoted various sections of the City of Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning
Ordinance, Section 68.H.3, explaining why the Board should grant a variance. He stated
the spirit of the ordinance would be preserved; the ordinance was not to enlarge or
enhance non conformities, and the nonconformity had actually been decreased. He went
Board of Zoning Adjustment
16 811/11
on to say that the sign had been there 30 years and if allowed to remain would save
taxpayers approximately four -million dollars. He requested that the billboard be allowed
to remain in its current configuration and in the interest of equity and justice that a
variance be granted.
Richard Adams asked Mr. Williams if the Board followed Staff's recommendation what
would be the implications. Mr. Williams stated that would be up to the applicant. The
question was then redirected to Mr. Boyle. Mr. Boyle stated the variance would be
denied based on the Board's prior decision and testimony of Mr. Williams. The City's
position was the sign had been illegal ever since the illegal modification or alteration of
the sign. The Board's prior decision upheld Staff and the Building Official's decision. In
the absence of a variance the sign would remain illegal and would be pending the
eminent domain case brought forward by TxDOT.
With no further questions for Mr. Williams, or Mr. Boyle, and no additional speakers,
Richard Adams made a motion to close the public hearing. Ken White seconded the
motion which prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes:
Cook, Adams, Holt, White, Rainwater
Nays:
None
Absent:
None
Mr. Adams asked Mr. Boyle if it was the City Attorney's position that a variance not be
granted based on the nonconforming status. Mr. Boyle stated he was only there in his
capacity as the Assistant City Attorney advocating on behalf of Staffs position.
Debbie Holt asked Mr. Williams if a case could be re -filed as a nonconforming use. Mr.
Williams deferred the question to Mr. Boyle, but stated only if the case was substantially
different. Mr. Boyle stated he thought the Board was asking a hypothetical question as
to what the applicant may or may not do in response to the Board's decision and was
not able to answer.
Ms. Holt asked Mr. Boyle to clarify why the City had nonconforming uses. Mr. Boyle
advised Staff to reopen the Public Hearing so questions could be asked of Mr. Williams,
Mr. Rothfelder or anyone else who might provide rebuttal.
Richard Adams made a motion to re -open the public hearing. Robert Rainwater
seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes:
Cook, Adams, Holt, White, Rainwater
Nays:
None
Absent:
None
Mr. Boyle asked Mr. Williams what his position was regarding the sign as it was today.
Mr. Williams stated that the sign was an illegal nonconforming use that had lost all of its
nonconforming status due to the illegal alteration and remodeling. Mr. Boyle asked if the
fundamental premise behind the provision that stated a legal nonconforming use could
not be changed without permission was in order to specifically avoid situations like this.
He stated that it was and read Section 43.1), of the City of Grapevine Comprehensive
Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Boyle asked if what the applicant effectively was asking for
17 Board o, Zor®rg Ad ustmerd
BJ,t„
amounted to a waiver of something that had become illegal as a result of their own
action. He stated that in his opinion it was. Mr. Boyle asked; if it would be consistent or
not consistent with Chapter 43, to grant a variance allowing somebody who did
something illegally to effectively get away with that illegal action. He stated that Staff felt
they not be allowed to get away with it and the nonconforming use be terminated. Mr.
Boyle asked if variances in general were not granted when the proposition for the
variance was necessitated by the applicant's own action. He stated that was Staff's
contention. Mr. Boyle opened the floor for any statements or questions.
Mr. Rothfelder stated that he wanted to focus on Mr. Williams' contention that the
violation was caused by the applicant CBS Outdoor. Mr. Rothfelder asked about the
Grapevine regulations provided in Section 43.1. Mr. Williams stated the property owner
was compensated as part of the State's eminent domain case. Mr. Rothfelder had no
additional questions for Mr. Williams, but requested that Mr. Brooks testify to a question.
Mr. Rothfelder asked Mr. Brooks if CBS Outdoor had been compensated for the
removal of the billboard. Mr. Brooks stated they had not. Ms. Holt asked Mr. Brooks if
there was a means for CBS Outdoor to be compensated. Mr. Brooks stated yes,
through a jury verdict. Mr. Boyle asked Mr. Brooks if CBS Outdoor was a named
Defendant in the pending eminent domain case. He stated that was correct. Mr. Boyle
asked if they had appealed the Special Commissioners hearing ruling. He stated yes, all
parties appealed. Mr. Boyle asked if Stacey -Trip was one of those who appealed. He
stated yes. Mr. Boyle asked if he recalled what the Special Commissioners results were.
He stated Stacey -Trip was awarded approximately 1.5 million dollars.

BZA11-07 — Richard Rothfelder, 1701 West State Highway 114, legally_ described
as Lot 2, Block 1, Wal-Mart Addition
The Board denied the following request:
Section 68.G, Board of Adjustment. Appeals to the Board of Adjustment may be
taken by any person aggrieved, or by any officer of the department, board or
bureau of the City, affected by any decision of the building inspector or other
administrative officer of the City relative to the Zoning Ordinance. Such appeal
shall be taken within fifteen (15) days after the date of the decision of the building
inspector or other administrative officer has been rendered, by filing with the
officer from whom the appeal is taken shall forthwith transmit to the Board all the
papers constituting the record from which the appeal was taken.
On December 8, 2010, the Building Official issued a written determination that the
billboard could not be "moved, altered, or adjusted." As you affirmed during the hearing,
that determination was never challenged. Contrary to this determination, the billboard
was in fact altered through the removal of a four foot section of the billboard. No permit
was sought or obtained for the work on the billboard. The billboard previously held the
status of being legal nonconforming. As a result of the non -permitted and illegal work on
the sign, the billboard lost its legal nonconforming status and is now an illegal billboard.
By denying your request to overturn this determination, the Board affirmed the decision
of the building official.
BZA11-08 — Richard Rothfelder, 1701 West State Highway 114, legally described
as Lot 2, Block 1, Wal-Mart Addition
The Board denied the following request:
Section 43.D.2., Nonconforming Uses and Structures, Termination of Nonconforming
Uses allows a nonconforming use to be occupied, used, and maintained in good
repair, but it shall not be remodeled or enlarged except as hereinafter provided.
O:SZA�20111CRyM9nager0 utwme
The Board denied a variance that would have allowed for the alteration or remodeling of a
nonconforming use; specifically the removal of a four -foot (4') section of a billboard sign,
and/or to add four -feet (4') to the sign.
Section 43.F., Nonconforming Uses and Structures, Limitations of Changing
Nonconforming Uses prohibits changing a nonconforming use to another
nonconforming use, and prohibits expanding a nonconforming use.
The Board denied a variance request to Section 43.F., as a section of the Grapevine
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance requiring a variance. The Board ruled that no special
condition existed to support the requested variance or special exception. The hardship in
question was self imposed. The variance sought to continue an illegal use, and use based
variances are not permitted by law.

SUBJECT: BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE #BZA11-09
2111 Forest Hills Road
• •:
Staff recommends the Board of Zoning Adjustment deny the following special exception to
Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73 for property located at 2111 Forest
Hills Road, platted as Lot 9, Block 12, Reed Addition as follows:
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 is requesting a special exception to allow the existing residential structure to
remain as developed and a new garage to be constructed as shown on the plot plan.
SPECIAL CONDITION:
Staff finds that a special condition does not exist for special exception request. The
proposed encroachment will be the result of a self imposed hardship and increase the level
of nonconformance to the subject site.
If the Board denies the request for a new garage, staff recommends the Board approve a
special exception to allow the existing carport to remain as shown on the plot plan.
Records are unavailable to determine when the carport was constructed, however,
according to the applicant the carport existed when the dwelling was purchased in 2001.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The subject site is a corner lot developed with a dwelling that was built in 1968. In addition
to the dwelling an attached carport and detached accessory structures are present. The lot
requires a 35 -foot setback adjacent to each street frontage. The attached carport is
approximately twenty seven feet from the property line adjacent to Lakeridge Drive.
The applicant proposes removing the existing carport and building an approximate 684
square foot attached three car garage on the east side of the existing dwelling,
approximately twenty four feet from the property line adjacent to the Lakeridge Drive. The
application was submitted by the property owner Mark Cegielski.

5. The land use of parking vehicles in this location has existed for 34 years as evidenced by the date in
the adjacent concrete. Adjacent to the location in question are a drainage ditch with existing culvert,
blacktop driveway, large 60' mature trees and landscaping and a utility pole with a transformer. All of
these items make it impractical and cost prohibitive to relocate the intended garage construction to
meet the current zoning regulation.
The room addition in 2001 on the south side of the home was done to bring natural daylight into the
house and provide a breakfast room for daily meals. This room is flooded with sunlight in the morning
and casts additional light into an adjacent and dark family room. During construction the Grapevine
building inspector told us that the set back on the Lakeridge side of the home was 15 feet and that we
would have no problem building a garage. We did not have enough left in the budget to do that after
such an extensive renovation at that time.
In order to accommodate the zoning regulation we would need to relocate the intended garage either
to the north or south of the existing car port in order for the garage to be attached to the home.
Moving the utility pole and installing a new drainage culvert for a new driveway and garage to the south
of the existing location would not only have a dramatic effect on the cost of the project but it would
block all the natural light now coming into our breakfast room.
It is not feasible to put a garage on the north side of the house due to the large front window adjacent
to where the garage would have to be located. A garage in this location would block part of the picture
window on the front of the house. Also removing the large mature trees and landscaping on the north
side of the existing location will lower the home's property value and curb appeal and significantly add
to the expense of the project.
The owners have a pick-up truck that will not fit into the existing car port. We are requesting an
additional 3.2 feet toward Lakeridge from the existing car port in order to accommodate a garage that
will enclose vehicles of today's size. We are asking to be able to build our garage roughly in a line of
sight along Lakeridge equal to our neighbor's existing home at 2102 Lakeridge. We feel this request is
reasonable as this neighbor to the north faces Forest Hills as does our home. See plot plan exhibit
showing 2102 and 2111 Forest Hills Drive.
Our intention is to have the new garage appear architecturally as if it has always been part of the home
and conform to the neighborhood. We intend to carry the existing roof lines to the new garage so that
the appearance is in keeping with the existing style of the home. Other details of the garage doors,
existing brick and siding will also mirror the existing home so that aesthetically the new garage will be
visually appealing. There are no homeowner association covenants that govern improvements but we
are the only home in the neighborhood with a carport and it is an eyesore as is the adjacent aluminum
storage shed. Our neighbors will be pleased that they no longer have to look into our carport and see
the miscellaneous items we store there. Nor will we worry about someone simply walking in and
stealing our possessions. This is also a security need since our home sits on a very busy corner. See
additional elevations and plans.
S. Continued
We do understand that zoning does not concern itself with the aesthetics of building design and
architecture but rather focuses on the enforcement of rules and regulations regarding growth,
construction and landuse. This is extremely beneficial and necessary when considering newly
developed land and where growth of property and new buildings are concerned. However in this
situation the area has been established and developed for over 30 years and recent zoning regulations
may not be appropriate in all situations. We believe this is one of those situations. We believe that with
careful use of matching materials and sensitivity to architecture and other existing structures, replacing
our carport with an enclosed attached garage is the most environmentally sound, aesthetically pleasing
and cost efficient way to proceed and we respectfully ask the Board of Adjustment to grant our request.
6. The plate for the property records only a 30 foot building line across the north side of 2111 Forest
Hills Rd. It shows nothing to the east side of our property in the way of a building line. Our neighbor
directly opposite to the north whose east side fronts Lakeridge as our does, is displayed on the survey
referenced Plot Plan exhibit for 2102 and 2111 Forest Hills Road. His property displays a 20 foot building
line on the east side of his property. We are told by the zoning office that there is a 30 foot building line
on our property along Lakeridge just as there is along Forest Hills to the north. We are told that the
reason we have a restriction is due to the home to our south. Since that home faces Lakeridge, section
42D of the zoning regulations applies to our lot and requires that we have the same frontage on
Lakeridge and Forest Hills. This zoning ordinance was amended in 1984 after these two buildings existed
with the current carport in place. So clearly the regulation was not intended for this purpose since these
two buildings were in violation of the amended zoning ordinance when it was enacted in 1984.
During renovation construction in 2001 the Grapevine building inspector told us that the set back on the
Lakeridge side of the home was 15 feet and that we would have no problem building a garage. We did
not have enough left in the budget at that time after such an extensive renovation but have been
planning and saving for this project for years.
terminated by the Board of Adjustment in accordance with provisions
of Section 67A of this Ordinance.
E. CHANGING NONCONFORMING USES:
1. Any nonconforming use may be changed to a conforming use, and once
such change is made, the use shall not thereafter be changed back to a
nonconforming use.
2. The Board of Adjustment may grant a change of use from one
nonconforming use to another nonconforming use provided such change is
to a use permitted in a zoning district where the original nonconforming use
would be permitted, or provided that such change is to a use permitted in a
more restrictive classification. However, such change of use and occupancy
shall not tend to prolong the life of a nonconforming use. Upon review of the
facts in accordance with Section 67A, the Board of Adjustment may establish
a specific period of time for the return of the occupancy to a conforming use.
3. The Board of Adjustment may approve the remodeling or enlargement of a
nonconforming use when such an enlargement would not tend to prolong the
life of the nonconforming use. Upon review of the facts, the Board of
Adjustment may establish a specific period of time for the return of the
occupancy to a conforming use.
F. LIMITATIONS ON CHANGING NONCONFORMING USES: No nonconforming use
shall be changed to another nonconforming use, which requires more off-street
parking spaces or off-street loading space than the original nonconforming use,
unless additional off-street parking and loading space is provided so as to comply
with the requirements of Sections 55 and 56.
The number of dwelling units or rooms in a nonconforming residential use shall not
be increased so as to exceed the number of dwelling units or rooms existing on the
effective date of this Ordinance.
No nonconforming use may be expanded or increased beyond the lot or tract upon
which such nonconforming use is located as of the effective date of this ordinance
except to provide off-street loading or off-street parking space upon approval of the
Board of Adjustment.
All nonconforming uses being expanded under the provisions of this Ordinance shall
comply with the other applicable provisions of this Ordinance.
