Questions for staff by the Committee:
N/A
Applicant Presentation: Scott Ellerman
Questions for Applicant by the Committee:
Frances Scharli: Are you eliminating the tree stand?
Applicant: We will be removing these trees, yes.
Frances Scharli: Will the trees you replace remediate the loss? My recommendation
would be to meet the correct remediation.
Applicant: We are applying for a variance because we do not meet the remediation
standards currently, but we will maximize the amount of trees as much as we can.
Daniel Kubiak: You will be remediating the entire site according to standards?
Applicant: Correct.
Daniel Kubiak: The use would be an improvement from what is there now. Be prepared
for mitigation tactics and look at what we did previously for other cases.
Applicant: We are not requesting any height variances; we are abiding by the
guidelines. To balance the site, the retaining wall should screen the site well.
Austin Reynolds: Aerial photo with ingress and egress on East – There’s an
intersection at the top right of the photo, is it useable for cross access?
Applicant: No, this is currently gated – no light, no stop sign. It serves as emergency
access only.
Austin Reynolds: That’s what I thought. That would continue as is?
Applicant: That’s correct.

Austin Reynolds: Was this intersection upgraded at all? I think it’s three lanes right
now.
Dennis Killough: No improvement to the intersection itself. Cannot speak to the timing
of the light either.
Austin Reynolds: I think the City of Grapevine controls the timing of the light?
Dennis Killough: Grapevine and TxDOT control the light.
Austin Reynolds: I remember a concern with another case about how many trucks can
get in and out in time. The light was green for only 5 seconds before it turned red again.
Where I’m going with this is the backup of traffic from Brookfield and this company at
that intersection with the rail line could be problematic getting in and out of this site.
Think about this. How deep are these buildings?
Applicant: Two western buildings are 250ft deep and two eastern buildings are 240ft
deep.
Austin Reynolds: It says 10% office, would you entertain a higher office percentage?
Applicant: Absolutely, on the perspective tenant that would need it.
Austin Reynolds: Maybe a shallower building? My concern with them is the depth of
these buildings attracts trailer truck users rather than office uses.
Applicant: We previously had a site plan iteration that included trailer positions that
bisected the middle to be shared amongst all 4 buildings. We threw 30ft of the depth of
buildings 3 and 4, as well as areas around the building to include more trees. I think
there is a chance we still attract a similar tenant base based off a 210ft depth vs. 240ft
depth.
Austin Reynolds: I understand you are trying to get coverage. My hope would these
buildings being shallower because of the profile of the tenant.
Daniel Kubiak: What are the clear heights of the buildings proposed?
Applicant: Building 1 and 2 will be 30ft clear and building 3 and 4 will be 28ft clear
Daniel Kubiak: Reach out to the neighbors nearby and show them the renderings.
