Commissioner Forman believes that with TD Ameritrade gives the city permission to
pressure TXDOT to improve SH 114 and the frontage road.
Commissioner Kubiak agrees with Commissioner Forman and continued to state that
this is not a zoning request but is a site plan that is consistent with the comprehensive
plan and is being built for long term use.
Commissioner Greer agrees with Commissioner Forman.
Chairman Parrish added that the city has been planning on this site for something along
these lines and we have been planning equally for the completion of Kirkwood
Boulevard both in this section and on the north side and all the way to Kimball Avenue.
Staff has represented to the Commission that yes traffic will increase on Kirkwood
Boulevard but the capacity is there and is there by a long shot. Even under some of the
scenarios of full building out which is understood TD Ameritrade is not committed to but
even with that it is underutilized. The long term solution will be a frontage road and the
pressure that the city can put on TXDOT.
Motion to approve ZA16-012 subject to the staff report dated April 7, 2016 and site
plan review summary No. 2 dated March 31, 2016 and noting the applicant’s

council more information with respect to the hiring of a consultant to press that
issue.
