3) his intent to more strongly enforce the resubmittal deadline due to the fact that several
consultants consistently ignore the resubmital deadline;
The Applicant's delay in resubmitting their revision(s) does not allow Staff a sufficient amount
of time for review. A memorandum will be provided to the Commission stating that Staff did
not receive the case revision(s) on the appropriate deadline for Staff review. The Commission
concurred with this change in administration of the submittals.

comments in the staff review letters. Director Greg Last stated that Staff informs the
Applicants /Consultants of items that need to be addressed during the pre - submittal stage. He
added that a vast majority of the comments are clean -up items and some of the comments are
mentioned in relation to newly adopted ordinances for easier reference for the Commission.
Staffs goal is to reduce the number of comments to only the critical issues neeeding evaluation
by the Commission.
Planner Tom Elgin commented that the Applicants for agenda items (9, 10, and 12) are requesting
to table to the Planning and Zoning Meeting on January 18, 1996. Commissioner Potter asked Staff
to provide the Commission an advanced notice before the meeting of any agenda items that are
requesting to table. Director Greg Last stated that the Commission will be informed if the Staff is
given adequate time from the Applicants before the meeting of their intent to table.

(F.M. 1709) and immediately East of Crooked Lane. The current zoning is "AG" Agricultural
District, and the requested zoning is "SP -2" Generalized Site Plan with all "0-1" Office District uses
and all "I -1" Light Industrial District uses with certain exceptions: aluminum product fabrication,

Commission approved the Applicant's request to table this item until tonight's meeting and continue
the public hearing. In the "I -1" Industrial District, only 15% of the floor area of the building may
be utilized as retail uses and that these retail uses must be reasonably related to the principal uses
within the structure; with an approved Specific Use Permit, the 15% of the net square footage may
be exceeded under certain circumstances.
David McMahan (Pima Properties), 1335 Hidden Glen, Southlake, Texas 76092, and John Levitt
(J.E. Levitt Engineers, Inc), 726 Commerce Street, Suite 104, Southlake, Texas 76092, represented
this item. Mr. McMahan commented on the following items:
1) the plan exceeds the state and local requirement for curb -cuts;
2) westerly driveway has been moved to the east "a significant distance ";
3) westerly driveway plays a significant part in the ability to lease for the front showroom building;
and
4) the reason there was a proposed median for the east driveway was to save the existing tree,
however, after having another review of the tree and "seeing that it is not much of a tree ", the
tree will be removed. The large existing tree is west of the driveway.
Commissioner Schroetke asked Mr. McMahan about item #3a.1 (The west driveway centerline is
less than 500' from the east right -of -way line of Crooked Lane.) Mr. McMahan stated that they
cannot meet the minimum 500' driveway entrance spacing requirement because the front property
is not 500' wide.
Commissioner Schroetke asked Mr. McMahan the width of the east driveway. Mr. McMahan stated
that the width of the driveway will be 36' with two lanes out and one lane in. Commissioner
Schroetke asked Mr. McMahan the width of the west driveway. Mr. McMahan stated that the width
of the full access driveway will be 30'. Commissioner Schroetke asked Mr. McMahan if he thought
that there might be difficulty in accessing the driveway due to Crooked Lane being so close. He
stated that Crooked Lane does not have that large a traffic flow and feels that this will not create a
traffic flow problem. Commissioner Hobbs commented on his displeasure of the proposed westerly
driveway location and recommended it to be in the center of the front building or further east. Vice -
Chairman Johnson asked Mr. McMahan if he could move the west driveway to the center of the front
building. Mr. McMahan stated that he did not have a problem in doing that request. Chairman
Wright asked Mr. McMahan if he had a reason for the placement of the westerly driveway. Mr.
Levitt stated that it was due to existing trees. Vice - Chairman Johnson commented that there will be
200' of distance between the driveway entrances. Commissioner Schroetke asked Mr. McMahan if
the driveway could be designated as a right - in/right -out only. Mr. McMahan stated that this could
be accommodated. Mr. McMahan commented that the median could be deleted from the easterly
driveway.

Vice - Chairman Johnson commented that with the amended rezoning request, the "I -1" Light
Industrial District uses could be adjacent to East Southlake Boulevard (F.M. 1709) and asked Mr.
McMahan if this was the intended use for the front building. Mr. McMahan stated that the front
building would not need the "I -1" uses. Vice - Chairman Johnson asked Mr. McMahan if he could
consider two "SP -2" Generalized Site Plan areas to isolate the "I -1" Light Industrial District uses.
Mr. McMahan stated that he was informed by Staff that he would have to readvertise if he proposed
this request. He added that he did not want to do this because it would only delay the process of the
case. Vice - Chairman Johnson asked Mr. McMahan if he had a chance to review the "B -1" Business
Service Park District uses. Mr. McMahan stated that the "B -1" Business Service Park District is too
restrictive. Chairman Wright asked Mr. McMahan if the "B -1" Business Service Park District was
too restrictive for the front portion of the property. Mr. McMahan replied that it was not for the front
building. Chairman Wright recommended Mr. McMahan to request the "B-1" Business Service Park
District for the front portion of the property because it is more restrictive than the "I -1" Light
Industrial District. Director Greg Last commented that the Applicant could modify the "SP -2"
Generalized Site Plan to specify the "B -1" Business Service Park District uses for the front portion.
Mr. McMahan stated that he did not object to the recommendation. Chairman Wright asked Mr.
McMahan what district use would the middle two buildings be classified under. Director Greg Last
recommended that the Applicant could request the "SP -2" Generalized Site Plan with "B -1" Business
Service Park District and have "I-1" Light Industrial District uses as an alternative or specify the "I-
1" Light Industrial District deleting the more intense uses and include the "B -1" uses that are not
specified in the "I-1"; thus, structure it to accommodate the Applicant's needs. Commissioner Hobbs
asked Staff that if the "SP -2" Generalized Site Plan was granted to the Applicant and the property
was not developed, and another Applicant come forth with a development proposal for the property,
what would the new Applicant have to abide by. Director Greg Last stated that the new developer
would have to abide by the approved Concept Plan per the uses designated.
Mr. McMahan commented on the following:
1) the back building will be 10 x 10 mini - warehouses;
2) outside storage would only be behind the proposed fence;
3) having "I -1" Light Industrial District for the back portion eliminating the uses previously noted;
4) deleting #27 mattress manufacturing use for the back portion of the property;
5) front portion of the property to have "B -1" Business Service Park District uses; and
6) "B -1" Business Service Park District uses were not appropriate for the two middle buildings of
the property and requested "I -1" Light Industrial District uses with the exceptions noted in the
letter.
Chairman Wright asked Mr. McMahan if he could look into requesting "B -1" for the two middle
buildings with a list of "I -1" uses he needed for the development. Mr. McMahan stated that he
would look into the matter.

Commissioner Potter asked Staff if the required 5' Type 'A' bufferyard was being requested for the
inside of the lot. Director Greg Last stated that it needs to be applied, and he requested to add the
comment as item #4 (5' Type 'A' bufferyard along the east property line) in the staff review letter.
Mr. McMahan commented that he will request for the bufferyard along the east property line from
the fence to the south property line to be deleted. Commissioner Potter recommended for the
Applicant to distribute the plantings which would have been in the front and middle area with the
already existing landscaping requirements.
Commissioner Potter asked Mr. McMahan about the proposed apartment. Mr. McMahan stated that
the apartment (living quarters) is for the security /manager of the mini - warehouse. Director Greg
Last reminded the Commission that this proposal will require another Specific Use Permit.
Chairman Wright asked Mr. McMahan what he would like the Commission to act upon. Mr.
McMahan stated that he would like to table until the Planning and Zoning Meeting on January 4,
1996 which will provide an opportunity to compile a list of requested uses on the property. He
added that he did not wish to table ZA95 -117, Specific Use Permit for Outside Containers. Director
Greg Last commented that the Applicant could go forth to City Council on ZA95 -117, however, the
City Council may not approve it due to the present zoning. Chairman Wright commented that
ZA95 -117 will be opened for discussion.
Chairman Wright opened the public hearing.

Commissioner Potter asked Staff about the blueline distributed by the Applicant at the meeting.
Director Greg Last stated that he assumed that the newly submitted blueline probably addressed the
comments on the staff review letter and the Commission could use it as it as a reference to see how
the Applicant addressed the comments.
Donald Silverman (The Midland Development Group), 15935 Ventury Forest Circle, Dallas, Texas,
represented this item. He commented on the following:
1) Phase I, plats out the eastern half portion of the property and Village Center Drive;
2) requested for item #5D (provide a 5' Type 'A' Bufferyard along the west line of Lot 2, Block 1)
to be deleted for this would be located in the middle of a parking area;
Director Greg Last stated that the ordinance does requires a 5' bufferyard between the two lots.
He recommended that the Applicant provide a bufferyard in the vicinity of the driveway between
the two lots. Mr. Silverman stated that he had no concern with this recommendation.
3) stated that Lot 4, Block 1 has not been a "factual determination" in the future right -of -way
development of Northwest Parkway West (S.H. 114) by the Texas Department of Transportation
in response to item #5E.1 (change the 25' Type 'A' Bufferyard to a 25' Type 'J' Bufferyard along
the north line of common to Lot 4, Block 1);
The 25' bufferyard was intended to provide the screening from Northwest Parkway West (S.H.
114) set forth by the requirements in the Corridor Overlay Zone. The question is to the density
of the screening. Commissioner Schroetke commented on the importance of screening the back
of the proposed Kroger store from Northwest Parkway West (S.H. 114). Mr. Silverman stated
that this will involve a "detailed specific plan" and would like to address this in a detailed Site
Plan. The Commission stated that the 25' Type 'J' Bufferyard will be required until the Applicant
submits a better plan.
Commissioner Potter asked Staff if the east side specified a 25' Type 'J' Bufferyard. Director
Greg Last commented that it did not.
Chairman Wright commented that the lots adjacent to Northwest Parkway West (S.H. 114) were
platted in the Preliminary Plat for the Village Center, ZA95 -76, and now they are being
considered unplatted. Mr. Silverman stated that the City Council considered this in a "different
light ". He added that if TxDot does not take this in the expansion of Northwest Parkway West
(S.H. 114) right -of -way, then it will be replatted.
4) item #7A (provide a Traffic Impact Analysis prepared by a Registered Professional Engineer in

the State of Texas) will be provided at a later time;
5) item #7B (provide driveway entrance locations meeting the minimum spacing requirement), the
Appendix A of the ordinance allows right /in and right/out 250' of the intersection, and the
distance meets this requirement from centerline of the driveway;
Director Greg Last commented that Planner Tom Elgin stated that the first final draft of the
Driveway Ordinance stated a minimum 250' distance between driveway entrances, however, the
adopted Driveway Ordinance states a minimum 500' distance between street right -of -way and
driveway entrances and this should be applied to the driveway entrance east of Lot 1 from the
east line of Village Center Drive which is only 215'.
Commissioner Hobbs stated that the driveway of Lot 1 moves right out into a deceleration lane.
Director Greg Last stated that this is why Staff is requiring a Traffic Impact Analysis. He added
that the Driveway Ordinance does not allow any driveways in the transition area of a
deceleration lane. Planner Tom Elgin recommended to leave the driveway entrance where it is
and increase the deceleration lane. Director Greg Last commented that this issue can be
addressed at the Site Plan upon review of the Traffic Impact Analysis Report.
6) requested a variance on item #7C.1 (south driveway entrance intersecting Village Center Drive
has a throat depth of approximately 28'); and
7) requested a variance on item #7C.2 (center driveway entrance intersecting Village Center Drive
has a throat depth of approximately 35').
Chairman Wright commented that the Commission should move forward to masonry and
articulation. Vice - Chairman Johnson stated that the Commission did not have the appropriate time
for preparation to discuss this matter. Mr. Silverman asked if the Commission could address this
and give some direction. Vice - Chairman Johnson recommended that Mr. Silverman outline certain
items on the articulation for preparation for the next meeting.
Mr. Silverman commented on the following items pertaining to masonry and articulation:
1) the depth of the inset will be 3" to 8 ";
2) the top portion of the facade will be synthetic stucco (EFIS) which gives a "cast stone" effect;
Real stucco does not have the capacity to expand or contract with the weather conditions.
3) the ground level portion of the facade will be real brick or plaster;

4) the roof will be of a terra -cotta composition;
5) the canopies will extend over the windows and be composed of metal, synthetic cloth, or cloth;
and
6) the walk -way will be covered.
Commissioner Potter asked Staff why a 4 ft. sidewalk is proposed along East Southlake Boulevard
(F.M. 1709) and not a 6 ft. sidewalk to accommodate the requirements set forth in the Trail Master
Plan. Director Greg Last stated that this matter would be evaluated.
Director Greg Last recommended for item #5F (bufferyards within Lot 4, Block 1) in the staff review
letter to be waived at this time.
(Planning and Zoning Meeting, 12- 21 -95, tape 1, section #3451 -7039)
Chairman Wright opened the public hearing.
No discussion from the audience.
Commissioner Hobbs commented that the signage will not meet the requirements even though this
matter will be addressed at a later time. Director Greg Last stated that the signage issue will be
addressed at the City Council level.
Chairman Wright closed the public hearing.
