38 AGENDA ITEM #4, COSTCO WHOLESALE LIGHTING VARIANCE 2601E STATE
39 HIGHWAY 114:
40
41 Chief of Building Services, Malcolm Jackson, presented this item to the Commission. He stated that
42 Costco wishes to convert from high pressure sodium lights to metal halide lights.
43
44 Greg McGahey, AEMAssociates, went over the requested variance with the Commission. He said
45 they want to use the metal halide for a better quality of light and for safety issues.
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes on February 8, 2001 1
I Commissioner Jones stated that the ordinance was written to address safety issues, so Costco really
2 wants the brighter light because they believe it will make the building better aesthetically.
3
4 Commissioner Horne said that Costco's white lights will not fit in with the rest of Gateway Plaza
5 which has the sodium lights. Mr. McGahey stated that they are closer to Lowe's which he believes
6 has metal halide lights which will be similar to Costco's lights.
7
8 Commissioner Terrell stated that the main issue is the uniformity of the entire development.
9
10 Mr. McGahey said that the ordinance requires "high sodium lights or other lights giving a similar
11 soft lighting effect." He believes that metal halide done with the correct application can give a
12 similar effect.
13
14 Chairman King stated that it appears that there are alternative ways to light the building that would
15 give Costco the affect they want without making variances to the lighting ordinance.
16
17 Motion was to recommend denial of the Lighting Variance for Costco Wholesale because they did
18 not meet any of the findings listed on page two of the staff memorandum and due to the lack of
19 consistency with the lighting in the rest of Gateway Plaza.

21 Motion: Jones

31 AGENDA ITEM #5, ZA00-085, PRELIMINARY PLAT OF THE LAKES ON DOVE
32 (SUBMITTED AS EMERALD ESTATES SOUTH
33 Senior Planner Ken Baker presented this item to the Commission for a Preliminary Plat of The Lakes
34 of Dove (submitted as Emerald Estates South) for property described as Lot 2, Block 1, Emerald
35 Estates South. The property is located on the north side of East Dove Street approximately 120' east
36 of North Carroll Avenue. The Current Zoning is "SF-IA" Single Family Residential District. The
37 Land Use Category is Medium Density Residential. The Owner of the property is Frank S. Shelby.
38 The Applicant is Allegheny Land Company. 29 written notices were sent to property owners within
39 the 200' notification area, and four responses were received with one having no opinion, one being
40 undecided, and two being opposed. One response was received from outside the 200' notification
41 area, and it was opposed.
42
43 Chairman King asked staff about the changes on the plan since the last time it was presented.
44 Director of Planning Bruce Payne said Council approved the "SF-IA" zoning change and limited
45 the development to seven lots and addressed many of the drainage issues.
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes on February 8, 2001 2
I Commissioner Stansell wanted clarification of the pedestrian easement and the five foot Right-of-
2 Way. Mr. Baker stated the trail would be accommodated within the right-of-way.
3
4 Commissioner Jones asked about the retention ponds. Graduate Engineer Angela Turner said the
5 applicant has not specified which ponds will be retention or detention.
6
7 Art Clayton, 3129 Lake Drive, Southlake, Texas, presented this item to the Commission and
8 reviewed the requested variances with them. He stated they have agreed to aerate the ponds and
9 provide fencing around them. They will not submit the Final Plat until the engineering,
10 construction, and drainage plans are complete. There will be a 6' sidewalk that extends across the
11 property to connect to the school on Carroll Avenue and they will use wrought iron fencing and
12 brick columns along Dove.
13
14 Chairman King asked about the tree canopy. Mr. Clayton said that they are not going to disturb the
15 canopy. They are going to use the existing sewer to connect four of the lots and use a septic system
16 on three of the lots. They are also going to adhere to the additional landscaping that is required on
17 the Concept Plan.
18
19 Commissioner Jones asked if he was going to do anything to the canopy in the back. Mr. Clayton
20 said no.
21
22 Ms. Turner said the preliminary drainage plans do not show how the ponds will discharge the water.
23 Staff recommends splitting the drainage to the north and to Dove, so it is possible that some of the
24 water will be discharged to the drainage easement along the north.
25
26 Commissioner Jones asked if there would be any construction within this easement. Senior Planner
27 Dennis Killough said the motion at Council was made with the intent that there will be no
28 construction within the easement.
29
30 Chairman King opened the Public Hearing.
31
32 Chairman King said he had a comment card from Karen Clayton who is in favor but does not wish
33 to speak. No one in the audience stepped forward to speak. Chairman King closed the Public
34 Hearing.
35
36 (Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, 02-08-01, tape 1, section # 1337)

39 2001, allowing the variance to the right-of-way dedication allowing the pedestrian access easement
40 in lieu of the right-of-way dedication.

23 AGENDA ITEM #7, ZA00-132 REZONING AND SITE PLAN FOR OUIKTRIP•
24 Senior Planner Ken Baker presented this item to the Commission for a Rezoning and Site Plan for
25 QuikTrip on property described as portions of Lots 1 & 2, Block B, Commerce Business Park, being
26 3.029 acres. The property is located on the southwest corner of the intersection of East Southlake
27 Boulevard (FM 1709) and Commerce Street. The Current Zoning is "I-1" Light Industrial District
28 and "S-P-1" Detailed Site Plan District to allow "I-1" Light Industrial District uses and the retail sale
29 of furniture. The Requested Zoning is "S-P-1" Detailed Site Plan District with "C-3" General
30 Commercial District uses including a gas station convenience store. The Land Use Category is Retail
31 Commercial and Industrial. The Owner of the property is James R. Stacy. The Applicant is QuikTrip
32 Corporation. Seven written notices were sent to property owners within the 200' notification area,
33 and no responses were received.
34
35 The Commission discussed the current traffic situation at the intersection of F.M. 1709 and
36 Commerce Street.
37
38 Vice-Chairman Boutte asked why the applicant does not need an SUP for the gas station. Mr. Payne
39 said the applicant is requesting a zoning change to "S-P- I" with permitted uses of convenience store,
40 gas station, and restaurant. Staff did use the SUP standard to review the request.
41
42 Mr. Boutte asked if this intersection is considered an intersection of two arterials even if Commerce
43 is a collector street. Mr. Payne responded that Gateway Drive is an arterial, and he believes this
44 intersection meets the intent of the SUP requirement.
45
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes on February 8, 2001 4
1 Brenda McDonald, McDonald & Associates, presented this item to the Commission and reviewed
2 the requested variances with them.
3
4 Chairman King asked if the prototype is always twelve pumps. Ms. McDonald said yes.
5
6 Vice-Chairman Boutte verified that they are anticipating higher usage in the afternoon peak hour
7 than in the morning peak hour. Mike Starek, 2309 Spring Lake, Dallas, Texas, Innovative
8 Transportation Solutions, said that was correct.
9
10 Vice-Chairman Boutte asked when the peak hour would be. Mr. Starek said that A.M. peak would
11 be between 7-9 and the P.M. peak would be between 4-6. Vice Chairman Boutte said that peak hour
12 would be west bound traffic turning left into the store. Mr. Starek said that was why the delay per
13 vehicle goes up during the P.M. peak.
14
15 Mr. Starek explained why the grade on the intersection is a `B.'
16
17 Commissioner Jones asked what the net impact is on the intersection with the store there. Mr. Starek
18 said that it is very low. In the A.M. Peak there will be very little impact because they are only
19 generating about 140 new trips. In the afternoon the delay will increase about 11 seconds.
20 Commissioner Jones asked what the impact would be if this was a Walgreen's instead of a QuikTrip.
21 Mr. Starek answered that Walgreen's doesn't open until 9:00. In the afternoon, QuikTrip would
22 generate more trips, but fewer new trips.
23
24 Vice-Chairman Boutte stated that they would generate more left turns. Mr. Baker stated there would
25 be 13% more primary trips than if the site was not there.
26
27 Commissioner Jones said they could put something with a lot of primary trips there or something
28 with a lot of pass by trips. QuikTrip would have less impact on the traffic. Mr. Starek agreed.
29
30 Commissioner Jones asked how far the pumps are from the road.
31
32 Steve Walker (QuikTrip) said they have provided 42' plus the right-of-way.
33
34 Ms. McDonald stated the traffic analysis level of service predications did not take into account pass-
35 by and diverted trips numbers; this is the worst case scenario.
36
37 Commissioner Stansell stated the staff report states that fifty new vehicle trips in the A.M. peak and
38 61 new vehicles trips in the P.M. peak. Therefore, between 5-6 there will be 61 cars turning left.
39 Mr. Starek answered that a percentage of those cars would be turning left, but others will come from
40 different directions.
41
42 Commissioner Boutte asked how many customers they will see between 5:30 - 6:30 p.m. Mr.
43 Walker stated that the he observed the new Carrollton store which in a forty-five minute time span
44 had 50 vehicles turn in. Of those fifty, only 5 made left turns. Mr. Starek said 236 vehicles will
45 enter and 236 will leave.
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes on February 8, 2001 5
1 Commissioner Stansell asked if 80% of those would be west bound traffic. Mr. Starek said they
2 believe it is more like 50%.
3
4 Commissioner Horne asked what the difference would be between the traffic that would be
5 generated by a convenience store or anything else that would go on that lot. Mr. Starek said a drug
6 store would generate less trips during the peak hour, but a higher percent would be a primary trips.
7
8 Vice-Chairman Boutte stated the problem he sees is that a convenience store's peak hours coincide
9 with rush hour; few other uses would have its peak time during the traffic peak hours. Mr. Starek
10 said Walgreen's would have its highest generation during the P.M. peak time. Vice-Chairman
11 Boutte asked if it would have its highest generation of new trips at this time or would it be mostly
12 pass-by traffic. Mr. Starek stated it would be mostly pass by.
13
14 Commissioner Stansell asked if it is possible to make the existing drive on the west side of the
15 property right-in/right-out. Mr. Killough stated the driveway was approved as a full access drive
16 when Shurguard was approved.
17
18 Commissioner Stansell asked about the stacking depth on Commerce. Mr. Starek informed the
19 Commission that they did a queuing analysis which showed that the light at Commerce would not
20 back up anymore than 5 vehicles 95% of the time.
21
22 Chairman King asked why they are requesting "C-3" uses and not "C-2" uses. Director Payne stated
23 the gas station use falls under "C-3."
24
25 Commissioner Jones said he thinks the building looks better with the variance request for the
26 mechanical equipment. He asked staff if the roof on the canopy was similar to the one on the
27 Chevron. Mr. Killough stated that Chevron was approved under a different set of regulations, but
28 the design is close to a pitched roof.
29
30 Chairman King opened the Public Hearing.
31
32 Dorian Stacy Sims, 1311 Hat Creek Trail, Southlake, Texas, said that she is representing the trust
33 that owns the property. She said that they have had several people attempt to buy the property but
34 all of them would require several variances from the city, and this is the first one to request minimal
35 variances.
36
37 Darrell Faglie, SPIN #7, stated the few residents that attended the SPIN meeting were in favor of
38 this request. He said he would like a gas station on the south side of Southlake Boulevard.
39
40 Chairman King closed the Public Hearing.
41
42 (Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, 02-08-01, tape 1, section # 4842)
43
44 Chairman Boutte said that he was at the SPIN meeting and three of the residents told him they did
45 not like this plan.
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes on February 8, 2001 6
I Commissioner Horne said that he does not think that there are many other places in Southlake to put
2 a gas station; this is a good location for it. It will have little impact on residents.
3
4 Commissioner Jones said he agrees. This is a prime location for a retail use, and something is going
5 to go there. This is a good generator of tax revenue, and it does not encroach on any residential
6 areas.
7
8 Vice-Chairman Boutte said he agrees with the Land Use Plan. He said the City has a history of
9 turning gas stations down, such as Race-Trac, in that area because we do not want a gas station at
10 the entry portal to the city. He also believes that this could effect the marketability of the land to
11 the west. This could effect the type of uses they will be able to attract.
12
13 Commissioner Horne said this side of the street is the exit.
14
15 Ms. McDonald stated that Race-Trac was on the other side of the street, mid-block. It was also the
16 first part of a larger development. There was a belief that it would affect the rest of the
17 development. They also requested two curb cuts onto FM 1709. QuikTrip is an isolated site and
18 will not require any more curb cuts. There is also a Shurguard to block the QuikTrip from the
19 property to the west. She believes the reasons for denying the Race-Trac cannot be applied to this
20 case.
21
22 Commissioner Stansell said that there are other sites on FM 1709 that a gas station could go. He is
23 concerned with the traffic turning into and from this site. He does not want to keep dumping traffic
24 onto FM 1709, especially at the portal.
25
26 Commissioner Terrell stated that he does not believe people in the westbound lanes will use this gas
27 station. They will go to gas stations on the right side.
28
29 Chairman King asked about the brick color. Ms. McDonald showed examples of the brick to the
30 Commission. He said that this is a good gas station, but he has concerns about the gas station going
31 at the portal of the city. He also has concerns about the traffic, but he believes that most of the
32 traffic would be pass-by.
33
34 Commissioner Terrell said this a convenience for the citizens. This is a good gas station to have if
35 one has to go there. The current zoning is light industrial so they could have a warehouse there.
36
37 Commissioner Horne said this will be a very nice looking gas station, and it fits with the location.
38
39 Chairman King said he has concerns about the number of pump islands.
40
41 Motion was made to approve ZA00-132 subject to Site Plan Review Summary No. 2, dated
42 February 2, 2001, allowing the variance to item #1 (articulation) and item #2 (pitched roof).
