PUBLIC HEARING
BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA19-04 LEMOINE WRIGHT 729
FOREST STREET
The first item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA19-04 submitted
by Lemoine Wright for property located at 729 Forest Street, platted as Lots 1-R, Block
6, W.C. Lucas Addition.
Section 15.G.4., "R-7.5" Single Family District, Area Regulations requires a
minimum lot width of 65-feet. The applicant requested a variance of five-feet (5) to
this requirement allowing a lot width of 60-feet (60') for an existing lot.
Mr. Stombaugh explained that Staff found a special condition existed for the requested
variance, Specifically, the subject site was an existing platted lot, platted initially in 1962
which was in compliance with the zoning ordinance at that time. The City's first zoning
ordinance adopted in 1955 established a minimum lot width of 60 feet for any lot used
Board of Zoning Adjustment
0 8/0 512 0 1 9
as a "one family" residence. The City's second zoning ordinance (Ordinance 70-10)
adopted iri April 1970, amended the minimum lot with for single family dwellings
increasing it to 65 feet.
Mr. Stombaugh stated that an amended plat was submitted relative to the subject
property showing the extent of a floodplain easement along the rear(western) portion of
the property. Despite the floodplain area occupying approximately 25 percent of the lot,
there still remains nearly 15,000 square feet of the lot for residential development. The
"R-7.5" Single Family District required a minimum 7,500 square feet for a single family
lot. No other variances were required for the development of this lot.
With no questions for Mr. Stombaugh, property owner, Lemoine Wright of 601 W. Wall
Street, Grapevine, 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. Wright, Julie Stratman of 715 Forest Street, Grapevine,
Texas, took the Oath of Truth: she presented neighborhood concerns to the Board
regarding drainage from subject property as well as an area at the end of the block that
was not owned by any individual or the city and nothing had been done to take care of
drainage issues it caused. She also expressed concerns the impact of additional
construction would have in the area on such a narrow lot.
Chairman Dierolf suggested they contact city engineers regarding drainage issues that
had been discussed. Ron Stombaugh explained that a popular zoning in the city was R-
5.0 a 50 foot by 100 foot lot with a required six-foot (6') side yard setback.
An additional speaker, Brooks Smalley, took the Oath of Truth: she presented photos to
the Board regarding the unclaimed area at the end of the street.
Discussion continued regarding drainage issues and the effect of the unclaimed
property at the end of the street.
Ron Stombaugh stated that their concerns were drainage issues and encouraged them
to contact Senior Civil Engineer, Paul Lee in the Public Works Department.
Vice-Chairman, Sheppard, explained the purpose of the Board in regards to the special
exception being requested. He further explained that the Board had nothing to do with
what the builder/ developer would do.
Chairman Dierolf, stated that the Board's purpose was to determine if a special
condition existed for the variance requested and if city's ordinances allowed the Board
to grant a variance.
2 Board of Zoning Adjustment
08/05/2019
Discussion continued as Ms. Stratman and additional neighbors voiced their concerns
regarding drainage, the unclaimed property at the end of the street, removal of trees,
fencing, density and public interest.
Member, George Dalton, stated that the Board could deny a request if it was self-
imposed but if it were not self-imposed the Board could not deny it. The applicant did
not make the lot 60-feet wide, that was done in the 1950's, and he did not make the law
in the 1970's that changed it to 65-feet. It was not self-imposed so legally the Board
could not deny the applicants request.
With no further questions and no additional speakers, John Sheppard made a motion to
close the public hearing. George Dalton seconded the motion which prevailed by the
following vote:
Ayes: Dierolf, Sheppard, Johnson, Dalton, Anderson
Nays: None
Absent: None
George Dalton made a motion that a special condition existed for the requested special
exception. Specifically, the subject site was an existing platted lot, platted initially in

Nays: None

John Sheppard then made a motion to grant the following special exception to "R-7.5"
Single Family District, Area Regulations: Section 15.G.4., allowing a lot width of 60-feet
(60') for an existing lot. Ben Johnson seconded the motion which prevailed by the
following vote:

08/05/2019
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 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 requested
special exception. Specifically, the subject site was an existing developed lot, and the
existing structure was built in 1952 predating the City's first zoning ordinance adopted in
1955. Currently and as proposed the site was noncompliant with the current Zoning
Ordinance (82-73) relative to the required six-foot (6) foot side yard setback adjacent to
the north and south property lines. The proposed expansion of the dwelling did not
exacerbate the existing side yard setback adjacent to north and south property lines of
approximately four (4) feet and five (5') feet respectively.
With no questions for Mr. Triplett, Stephen Porcari, of 218 Ruth Street, Grapevine,
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.

motion to close the public hearing. Dough Anderson seconded the motion which

SUBJECT: BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE #BZA19-05
218 RUTH STREET
MEETING DATE: MONDAY, AUGUST 5, 2019
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Board of Zoning Adjustment approve the following special exception to
the Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73 for property located at 218 Ruth Street,
platted as the North 65' of Lot 3, Block 1, D.E. Box 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 along with an expansion as shown on the plot plan.
SPECIAL CONDITION:
Staff finds that a special condition exists for the requested special exception. Specifically, the
subject site is an existing developed lot, and the existing structure was built in 1952 predating
the City's first zoning ordinance adopted in 1955. Currently and as proposed the site is
noncompliant with the current Zoning Ordinance (82-73) relative to the required six-foot side
yard setback adjacent to the north and south property lines. The proposed expansion of the
dwelling does not exacerbate the existing side yard setback adjacent to north and south property
lines of approximately four(4') feet and five (5) feet respectively.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant intends to expand the existing dwelling from approximately 1,604-square feet to
2,308-square feet by adding an approximate 540-square foot, two room addition and a 164-
square foot unenclosed covered patio to the west side of the dwelling within the rear yard
adjacent to the west property line. A new uncovered deck is also proposed in the rear yard. An
existing detached accessory structure located within the rear yard adjacent to the west property
line will be relocated outside of an existing utility easement. The Historic Preservation
Commission at their December 19, 2018 meeting approved Certificate of Appropriateness
CA18-31 to allow for the construction of two new room additions on the back wall of the dwelling
within the rear yard. The application was submitted by property owner Stephen Porcari.

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

PUBLIC HEARING
BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA19-04, LEMOINE WRIGHT, 729
FOREST STREET
The first item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA19-04 submitted
by Lemoine Wright for property located at 729 Forest Street, platted as Lots 1-R, Block
6, W.C. Lucas Addition.
Section 15.G.4., "R-7.5" Single Family District, Area Regulations requires a
minimum lot width of 65-feet. The applicant requested a variance of five-feet (5') to
this requirement allowing a lot width of 60-feet (60') for an existing lot.
Mr. Stombaugh explained that Staff found a special condition existed for the requested
variance.. Specifically, the subject site was an existing platted lot, platted initially in 1962
which was in compliance with the zoning ordinance at that time. The City's first zoning
ordinance adopted in 1955 established a minimum lot width of 60 feet for any lot used

as a "one family" residence. The City's second zoning ordinance (Ordinance 70-10)
adopted in April 1970, amended the minimum lot with for single family dwellings
increasing it to 65 feet.
Mr. Stombaugh stated that an amended plat was submitted relative to the subject
property showing the extent of a floodplain easement along the rear (western) portion of
the property. Despite the floodplain area occupying approximately 25 percent of the lot,
there still remains nearly 15,000 square feet of the lot for residential development. The
R-7.5" Single Family District required a minimum 7,500 square feet for a single family
lot. No other variances were required for the development of this lot.
With no questions for Mr. Stombaugh, property owner, Lemoine Wright of 601 W. Wall
Street, Grapevine, 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. Wright, Julie Stratman of 715 Forest Street, Grapevine,
Texas, took the Oath of Truth: she presented neighborhood concerns to the Board
regarding drainage from subject property as well as an area at the end of the block that
was not owned by any individual or the city and nothing had been done to take care of
drainage issues it caused. She also expressed concerns the impact of additional
construction would have in the area on such a narrow lot.
Chairman Dierolf suggested they contact city engineers regarding drainage issues that
had been discussed. Ron Stombaugh explained that a popular zoning in the city was R-
5.0 a 50 foot by 100 foot lot with a required six-foot (6) side yard setback.
An additional speaker, Brooks Smalley, took the Oath of Truth: she presented photos to
the Board regarding the unclaimed area at the end of the street.
Discussion continued regarding drainage issues and the effect of the unclaimed
property at the end of the street.
Ron Stombaugh stated that their concerns were drainage issues and encouraged them
to contact Senior Civil Engineer, Paul Lee in the Public Works Department.
Vice-Chairman, Sheppard, explained the purpose of the Board in regards to the special
exception being requested. He further explained that the Board had nothing to do with
what the builder/developer would do.
Chairman Dierolf, stated that the Board's purpose was to determine if a special
condition existed for the variance requested and if city's ordinances allowed the Board
to grant a variance.
2 Board of Zoning Adjustment
08/05/2019
Discussion continued as Ms. Stratman and additional neighbors voiced their concerns
regarding drainage, the unclaimed property at the end of the street, removal of trees,
fencing, density and public interest.
Member, George Dalton, stated that the Board could deny a request if it was self-
imposed but if it were not self-imposed the Board could not deny it. The applicant did
not make the lot 60-feet wide, that was done in the 1950's, and he did not make the law
in the 1970's that changed it to 65-feet. It was not self-imposed so legally the Board
could not deny the applicants request.
With no further questions and no additional speakers, John Sheppard made a motion to
close the public hearing. George Dalton seconded the motion which prevailed by the
following vote:
Ayes: Dierolf, Sheppard, Johnson, Dalton, Anderson
Nays: None
Absent: None
George Dalton made a motion that a special condition existed for the requested special

0810512019
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 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 requested
special exception. Specifically, the subject site was an existing developed lot, and the
existing structure was built in 1952 predating the City's first zoning ordinance adopted in
1955. Currently and as proposed the site was noncompliant with the current Zoning
Ordinance (82-73) relative to the required six-foot (6) foot side yard setback adjacent to
the north and south property lines. The proposed expansion of the dwelling did not
exacerbate the existing side yard setback adjacent to north and south property lines of
approximately four (4) feet and five (5) feet respectively.
With no questions for Mr. Triplett, Stephen Porcari, of 218 Ruth Street, Grapevine,
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. Porcari and no additional speakers, John Sheppard made a
motion to close the public hearing. Dough Anderson seconded the motion which
prevailed by the following vote:
