Dear Southlake Mayor and Members of Council, The existing Chick Fil A restaurant, located at 2301 East Southlake Blvd, is seeking to add two canopies at the existing drive-thru. One canopy will be located just prior to the order point and one will border the drive thru pick up window. The purpose of these canopies are to provide Chick Fil A team members a greater level of protection from the elements while providing an increased positive experience between the Chick Fil A valued customers and said team members. At this time we would like to formally request a variance to the two ordinances below. If the requ ests cannot be approved, the Chick Fil A design team stands ready to make changes/enhancements to the proposed canopy that would incorporate the comments noted in an email provide to us on December 28th, 2018 from Mr. Richard Schell, Principal Planner, Planning and Development Services, Southlake Tx. Excerpts from this email are noted below. “a. Zoning Ord. No. 480, as amended, Section 43.9.c.1.b prohibits membrane -type roofs which are visible from adjacent public rights of way. “b. Zoning Ord. No. 480, as amended, Section 43.9.c.1.e requires exposed structural support columns to be constructed of, or clad in, the same masonry material as the principal structure. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Chris Turpen Architectural Program Manager Esencia Architecture
