higher quality.

PLAN APPROVAL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY AMENDED BY THE CITY COUNCIL. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS
OR NEED FURTHER CLARIFICATION, PLEASE CONTACT DENNIS KILLOUGH AT (817) 748-8072 OR BEN BRYNER

1. Extend the 5’ type ‘A’ bufferyard, located on the eastern portion of the lot, all the way to the
north boundary line.
2. An additional landscape island at least 12’ in width is needed along the row of parking on
Southlake Boulevard.
3. The following changes are needed regarding driveways:
a. Show existing driveways across adjoining rights-of-way.
b. Minimum spacing from the intersection along Pearson Lane is 250 feet for a full access
driveway. (A Variance is Requested)
c. A variance was granted for the existing common driveway located along the eastern
boundary as part of the ground storage tank site plan approval.
d. Staff recommends removal of the median in the east driveway. The location of this
median will achieve required stacking depth for inbound traffic but will also make left
turning movements difficult. Staff recommends that the whole pavement and building
portion of the site be shifted north. This revision should bring the site into compliance
with stacking requirements.
4. Although not required with a concept plan, elevations of the building have been provided for
review. The following changes are needed:
a. Because this building is with 400 feet of residential property, the north façade also requires
articulation. No articulation is provided on the rear portion of the building.
b. Label the exterior building materials to be used.
