NEW BUSINESS
An application was submitted to the Department of Development Services by Mr.
Jeffrey Hutcheon for the structure located at Lot 32, Block 6, Sayebrooke Addition
and addressed as 1926 Fair Field Drive. The request is to City of Grapevine Code of
Ordinances as follows:
Section 7-127(a), CORNER LOTS: It shall be unlawful to erect a fence in the required
front yard setback area or the established front yard area, whichever is greater in
depth on any corner lot, except along the interior lot line in accordance with
subsection (b). The request is to allow a six (6) foot setback for the fence from the
property line.
Scott Williams, Building Official, explained the case to the Board and added that due
to the unusual shape of the lot, grounds for a hardship existed.
Mr. Jeffrey Hutcheon, applicant, was present and discussed this issue before the
Board. He explained that with this variance would help with the safety of his children
and would boost the value of the lot for resale purposes in the future.
With no one else to speak for or against the request, Joe Lipscomb motioned to close.
Tim Long seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Lipscomb, Gordon, Kidd, Long, Smith
