PUBLIC HEARING
BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA20-01, JAMES GRAVATT, 840 EAST
TEXAS STREET
The first item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA20-01 submitted
by James Gravatt for property located at 840 East Texas Street, Lot 6, Block 5,
D.E. Box 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 along with an expansion as shown on the plot plan.
Board of Zoning Adjustment

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 prior to the rezoning of the site from "R-1" Single
Family Dwelling District to "R-12.5" Single Family District in the 1984 City Rezoning.
The proposed expansion did not exacerbate the existing side yard setback adjacent to
east and west property lines respectively of approximately four feet (4') and five feet
(5').
Mr. Triplett stated that the applicant intended to expand the existing dwelling from
approximately 1,365-square feet to approximately 2,608-square feet by adding 706-
square feet of living space to the south elevation in the rear yard adjacent to the south
property line and re-enclosing a carport into a two car garage adjacent to the west and
north property lines in the front yard. On January 22, 2020 the Historic Preservation
Commission approved CA19-123 allowing for improvements on the subject site for the
proposed expansion and to re-enclose a carport structure.
With no questions for Mr. Triplett, James Gravatt of 840 East Texas Street, Grapevine,
Texas, participating by telephone using the number and meeting ID that were posted on
the Agenda, 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. Gravatt and no additional speakers, John Sheppard made a
motion to close the public hearing. Doug Anderson seconded the motion which
prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Dierolf, Sheppard, Johnson, Dalton, Anderson
Nays: None
