ITEM #3 DISCUSSION – 360 Randol Mill Ave.:
Staff made presentation to the Committee
Questions for the Staff by the Committee
Q: How many acres is this site?
A: 2.59 acres
Q: Any feedback from neighbors?
A: SPIN Town Hall Forum was held
Paul Moss, representing the project, made a presentation to the Committee. The
following includes comments by the presenter and other representatives of the
project:
o Recently finished another property on Southlake Blvd.
o Do a lot of projects very similar to this, garden office
o Held a SPIN meeting last week - there were questions about protecting the wall
(neighbors to the north)
o Want to have a sit down with adjacent homeowners
o Would have about 200 trips per day into this property
o Davis (Randol Mill) will be high traffic corridor when finished
Questions for the Applicant by the Committee
Q: Right now it is all spec?
A: Yes - have done about 170 individual office buildings in the last 10 years
Q: Have you done any planning that would show the access easement going north
from Sprouts into this development?
A: Not yet - feel like this would be a smooth transition
Q: All single-story?
A: Yes - all single story
Comments by the Committee
o Cross access easement may need to be vetted (with the school there)
o Primary driveway should be by the commercial or the middle of the lot
o Hardly any way to go north out of there
o Looks like there are too many buildings; if you built some more green space it
would lessen the traffic - would make it not such a hard transition
o Building two houses there would likely be there same square footage

o Main problems: if you move forward, getting parking lot off Randol Mill would be
important; would probably not think 5 buildings is appropriate - two, maybe three
depending on the size - concern with single access for number of trips
o Traditionally on residential adjacency there is a buffer to the homeowner
o Great opportunity to do something with lower density
o Look at lower density, circulation
o Look at cross access easement
o Traffic backs up to Johnson Rd. at 5:00
o There are a lot of trees that could be preserved
o This could be turned into something really nice
o Biggest decision is the change in land use - anticipated having this discussion
