N/A
Questions for applicant by the Committee:
Austin Reynolds: From an operations standpoint, are you planning to lease the space
out to teams?
Applicant: It will be family-owned and operated. Meant for various sports and we would
like to work with coaches and clinics for sports training.
Austin Reynolds: From a parking standpoint, are 132 spaces adequate for your use?
Applicant: We’ve looked at other surrounding sports training facilities and 132 exceeds
everything we’ve seen.
Chad Patton: Are you planning on lighting the exterior area?
Applicant: Yes, we have taken our residential neighbors into account. The outdoor
facility will be on the northeast corner of the property to account for light spillover.
Chad Patton: One thing to keep in mind is having additional ingress and egress as you
go forward. Unsure if you’ve spoke with CISD or not, but maybe you can tap into that
north part of the parking lot to enter and exit the property.
Applicant: Sure, we understand this is the first step and we’ve had a preliminary
conversation with Matt and once we have a good idea of what we want to do we can
come back and talk to him.
Chad Patton: I would be cognizant of traffic flow, especially having a school close by.
Frances Scharli: There are a lot of trees on that property, and it seems like you are
going to clear cut it with no trees anywhere. Is that accurate?

Meeting #30 – January 25, 2021
Applicant: What I don’t have on here are the perimeter trees on the property which we
will keep.
Frances Scharli: There are nice, old oak trees on the property, and I would hate to see
them be clear cut with no other trees anywhere. Ken, how does this work with tree
mitigation? Will they be held to the similar standards?
Ken Baker: Most likely they will come in with a site plan amendment, and as part of that
there will be a tree mitigation plan for preservation which they may have a hard time
meeting the requirements in the ordinance. A lot of times what applicants will do is
landscape the parking lot or landscape around the site creatively.
Chad Patton: Yes, like parking islands. You may consider landscaping those. Or
walking pathways. I’m really concerned about the kid’s access from Dragon Stadium or
from the schools. We want to make sure the kids stay safe.
Applicant: Absolutely.
Frances Scharli: I echo those concerns about the old egress being on Crooked Lane.
You mentioned that you would have small tournaments and that’s a lot of traffic. Or if
you have a big practice, so I would also recommend finding an additional way into the
property.
Shawn McCaskill: You may consider moving the outdoor field area to the bottom left of
the site.
John Huffman: Residential traffic is also a concern. I would look at some options. Do
you have access to the frontage road?
Applicant: We do not. Right now, the land perimeter comes up to the parking lot. Since
we don’t have industrial type vehicles coming in and out, it is just pedestrian vehicles
coming off Crooked Lane.
John Huffman: That’s a challenge we’ll have to look at together, but this feels like a
use that everyone is comfortable with. Sounds like people are excited about it. I would
come up with some creative solutions for ingress and egress. Also focus on lighting and
talk with more surrounding neighbors and the school.
