SUBJECT: BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE #BZA13-10
511 EAST FRANKLIN STREET
MEETING DATE: MONDAY, AUGUST 5, 2013
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Board of Zoning Adjustment approve the following variances to
Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73 for property located at 511 East
Franklin Street, legally described as Lot 3, Block 112, College Heights Addition as follows:
Section 15.F.2., "R-7.5" Single Family District, Density Requirements, requires a
minimum lot area of 7,500 square feet.
The applicant is requesting a variance of 500 -square feet and if approved by the Board,
would allow a lot area of 7,000 square feet for an existing lot.
Section 15.G.4., "R-7.5" Single Family District, Area Regulations requires a minimum
lot width of sixty-five (65') feet.
The applicant is requesting a variance of fifteen -feet (15') and if approved by the Board,
would allow a lot width of fifty (50) feet for an existing lot.
SPECIAL CONDITION:
Staff finds that a special condition exists for the variances requested. Specifically, the lot is
part of the College Heights addition, originally platted in 1909 predating the City's first
zoning ordinance adopted in 1955. Developed property to the north, east, west and right-
of-way to the south preclude the possibility of expanding the site to meet the area and
width requirements.
It is the applicant's intent to construct a new 2,646 square foot, 1 1/2 story dwelling with a
detached garage on the subject site. The Historic Preservation Commission on May 22,
2013 approved a Certificate of Appropriateness for the new house and detached garage on
the subject site. The application was submitted by Neal Cooper, representing property
owner Colin McDermott.

elevations, irregular lot or tract shapes, etc. The Board of Zoning Adjustment must determine a special condition or conditions
exist(s) before making a motion to approve a request. If it is determined that no special condition exists, the motion must be to
DENY the request.

change was adopted after initiation of the plans check process for a building permit or other phase of the development process
7. Attach a detailed diagram of the site drawn to scale, and any other drawings or photographs necessary to help explain the
case to the Board, show on the diagram all easements, building lines, encroachments, and the variance(s) requested. The
requested variance(s) should be quantified by an appropriate measurement (distance, percentage, etc.)

Fr: Larry Lyon, 415 S. Dooley, Grapevine Texas 76051
Re: Case #BZA13-10 Zone adjustments to 511 E. Franklin
To whom it may concern,
I wanted to address a few of my concerns to the pending construction of a new home
at 511 E. Franklin St. Grapevine Texas. Being a property owner of the adjacent lot listed
in the case #BZA13-10 I have a few concerns to the possible new home construction
that might take place.
I have been a residence of 415 S. Dooley for ten years and have enjoyed being a
resident of the City of Grapevine. In this short time I have seen several changes in and
around the downtown/historic neighborhood. Neighbors have moved away, new
neighbors have arrived. Some older homes have been torn down and replaced with new
homes. A good sign of growth and improvement for this city. One troubling common
thread I have seen is the size of the homes being built in these vacant lots or where
older homes have been removed is the size of these homes are dwarfing the adjacent
houses taking up far too much of the lot, leaving little or no yard. The worst offender is
the new home built on College just east of Main St. located on the south side of College
which is a scathing eyesore.
I am opposed to any home being built on the vacant lot of 511 E. Franklin whose total
square foot of the home exceeds 50% of the total square foot of the lot size. Also, the
maximum elevation of the proposed home should not exceed the maximum elevation of
any of the adjacent homes. A home built which is large than either of the above two
measurements would be another overbearing home in the neighborhood and I feel
should not be allowed to be built without modifications to the home design.
A new home adjacent to my home could possibly help increase the value of my home,
at the same time, a large, too big for the lot,, overbearing home would be harmful to
the resale value of my home, if, in the future we made the decision to sell our home. I
don't believe the City of Grapevine or the potential new home builders would do
anything to assist myself in making up the loss in the event we sell the home in the
future.
I welcome new neighbors, growth in this great city, but hate to see the pursuit of
increased property tax dollars by allowing so many new `supersized" homes being built
in the neighborhood adjacent to the downtown area. There have been several homes
built east of Dooley located on Worth & Texas streets that, in my opinion are far too
large for the neighborhood they are located. If this trend continues, the surrounding
neighborhood will lose its charm, character and ambiance that currently make the
downtown Grapevine area so special. Grapevine's historic neighborhood will simply
become a neighborhood of oversized homes, no yards, no character just like many
other fast growing suburbs in the DFW metro area. This will leave the City of Grapevine
one street to call historic..... Main Street. Once this charm is gone, it will be gone
forever and the city will not be able to get it back.
Please feel free to contact myself with any questions. I can be reached at 817-233-
2949. 1 truly hope my concerns do not fall on deaf ears.
Sincerely,
1-dery Lyon

PUBLIC HEARING
BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA13-08 TONY DIEROLF 205 SOUTH
DOOLEY STREET
The first item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA13-08 submitted
by Tony Dierolf, for property located at 205 South Dooley Street, legally described as
Lots 1 & 2, Block 100, College Heights Addition.
Mr. Triplett explained that Staff was recommending BZA13-08 be Tabled until the
August 26, 2013 Board of Zoning Adjustment meeting, allowing the applicant time to
revise the site plan and building plans.
With no questions for Mr. Triplett, and no additional speakers, Sal DeAngelo made a
motion to Table BZA13-08. Robert Rainwater seconded the motion which prevailed by
the following vote:
Ayes: Holt, Rainwater, White, Dalton, DeAngelo
Nays: None
Abstain: None
BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA13-09 DAVID HERRINGTON &
JOANN PEARSON, 306 AUSTIN STREET
The next item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA13-09 submitted
by David Herrington and Joann Pearson for property located at 306 Austin Street,
legally described Lots 7 & 8 Block 106, College Heights 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 and accessory structures to remain as developed and an expansion to an
existing accessory structure (studio) to be constructed as shown on the plot plan.
2 Board of 2ordng Adjustment
81812013
Mr. Triplett explained that Staff did not find a special condition existed 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.
Mr. Triplett explained that if the Board denied the request that Staff recommended the
Board approve a special exception allowing the existing dwelling, carport and studio to
remain as developed as shown on the plot plan.
He stated that the residential structure was constructed in 1905. The studio and carport
existed when the dwelling was purchased over 20 years ago. He explained that the
applicant was proposing to expand the existing studio by 301 square feet and that the
Historic Preservation Commission on June 26, 2013 approved a Certificate of
Appropriateness for the proposed studio expansion.
With no questions for Mr. Triplett, applicant David Herrington, of 306 Austin 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.
Chairman Holt announced that no letters of approval or opposition had been received.
With no questions for Mr. Herrington and no additional speakers, Robert Rainwater
made a motion to close the public hearing. Ken White seconded the motion which
prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes:
Holt, Rainwater, White, Dalton, DeAngelo
Nays:
None
Absent:
None
Debbie Holt stated that in past cases the Board had made Special Exceptions for
structures already constructed, if the Board approved the variances requested in this
case, the existing studio would become subject to the six-foot (6') rear yard setback.
She stated that she did not understand how this increased the non -conformity.
Ron Stombaugh stated that even though the Board granted Special Exceptions allowing
the separation as it was constructed did not mean that it could be exacerbated. if the
Board allowed the non -conformity relative to the reduced separation, it did not mean
that we move forward with that logic and continue relative to new construction. The
Board could choose to go that direction, but Staff could not.
Robert Rainwater stated the new structure did not exacerbate the existing variance of
the reduced separation, but created a new non -conforming condition. He stated that it
was an encroachment into the rear separation.
Debbie Holt stated it was not an encroachment into the rear separation; it was a
detached building that would be allowed to have a six-foot (6') setback off the rear
property line.
3 Board of Zorft Adjustment
815/2013
Ron Stombaugh stated that Staff was not making the same interpretation.
Debbie Holt asked what the setback would be if a new detached garage was being
constructed in an R-7.5 zoning. Ron Stombaugh stated ten -feet (10'), for the garage
separation and a six-foot (6') rear setback.
George Dalton stated that the existing studio was non -conforming because it was not
ten -feet (10') from the house, if the Board approved the variance requested it would no
longer be the building the Board approved if they added on to it.
Sal DeAngelo asked if this had been an extension of the garage itself, would that had
made a difference. Ron Stombaugh, stated, yes, the fact that this was a new structure
butted up against the existing studio did not make any difference; if they extended or
enlarged the existing structure we would be having the same conversation.
George Dalton stated that if the proposed addition was constructed in the side yard it
would still be a non -conforming use.
Debbie Holt asked if the existing studio was in compliance with the ten -foot (10')
separation, would the addition be allowed.
Ron Stombaugh stated, if there were a ten -foot (10') separation, we would only be
talking about the existing non -conforming situation, which Staff would recommend
approval for.
Ken White made a motion that a special condition existed for the requested special
exception. Specifically, the lot was part of the College Heights Addition, the existing
dwelling was built in 1905 predating the City's first zoning ordinance adopted in 1955,
and the proposed addition would not exacerbate the level of nonconformity. Robert
Rainwater seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes:
Holt, Rainwater, White, Dalton, DeAngelo
Nays:
None
Absent:
None
Ken White then made a motion to grant the following special exception to "R-7.5" Single
Family District, Density Requirements: Section 43.E.3., Nonconforming Uses and
Structures allowing the existing residential structure and accessory structures to remain
as developed and an expansion to an existing accessory structure (studio) to be
constructed as shown on the plot plan. Sal DeAngelo seconded the motion which
prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Holt, White, Dalton, DeAngelo
Nays: Rainwater
Absent: None
FRANKLIN STREET
4 Board of ZoninO Altwimen!
&5/2013
The first item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA13-010 submitted
by Neal Cooper representing property owner Colin McDermott for property located at
511 East Franklin Street, legally described as Lot 3, Block 112, College Heights
Addition.
Section 15.F.2., "R-7.5" Single Family District, Density Requirements, requires a
minimum lot area of 7,500 square feet. The applicant requested a variance allowing
a lot area of 7,000 square feet for an existing lot.
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
allowing a lot width of fifty (50') feet for an existing lot.
Mr. Triplett explained that a special condition existed for the variances requested.
Specifically, the lot was part of the College Heights addition, originally platted in 1909
predating the City's first zoning ordinance adopted in 1955. Developed property to the
north, east, west and right-of-way to the south preclude the possibility of expanding the
site to meet the area and width requirements.
He went on to explain that the applicant intended to construct a new 2,646 square foot,
1 1/2 story dwelling with a detached garage on the subject site. He further stated that
the Historic Preservation Commission on May 22, 2013 approved a Certificate of
Appropriateness for the new house and detached garage on the subject site.
With no questions for Mr. Triplett, applicant Neal Cooper, of 613 East Texas Street,
Grapevine, Texas, representing property owner Colin McDermott, took the Oath of
Truth; and requested favorable consideration of his request and offered to answer any
questions of the Board.
With no questions for Mr. Cooper, Ms. Beverly Kennedy of 209 Shadow Lane, Euless,
Texas, took the Oath of Truth; she gave a brief presentation expressing her concerns to
the Board. Ms. Holt explained the Board's purpose to Ms. Kennedy.
Chairman Holt announced that one letter of opposition had been received.
With no questions for Ms. Kennedy and no additional speakers, Robert Rainwater made
a motion to close the public hearing. George Dalton seconded the motion which
prevailed by the following vote:
