I asked the Applicant to come forward for discussion.
2
3 Mr. Spain discussed the access to Park Meadow Court. He thought the right in, right out would
4 take traffic off of Park Meadow.
5
6 Chairman Murphy stated the Applicant should be able to accommodate access without the
7 variances.
8
9 Commissioner Muller stated she was also concerned about traffic safety.
10
11 Commissioner Stansell asked what the down side was to removing the right in, right out.
12
13 Mr. Spain responded all the traffic would flow from Park Meadow. The right in, right out would
14 allow for additional emergency vehicle access. He also suggested the possibility of the City
15 granting a reserve access easement through their property should there be future development on
16 the west side.
17
18 Commissioner Faglie suggested they consider the main entrance to Park Meadows as a 3-lane
19 road including a right turn lane to help alleviate stacking.
20
21 Commissioner Stansell asked the Applicant if they would consider taking out the right in, right
22 out.
23
24 Commissioner Boren stated the right in, right out lanes were too close to Park Meadows Court
25 and he would not vote in favor.
26
27 Chairman Murphy stated the Commission was not happy with the requested variances attached
28 to this Concept Plan. He said, however, that the Applicant would have time to adjust the plan
29 before they came before the Commission with their Site Plan request.

I • Articulation in the drive thru structure. Ordinance states all facades visible from FM 1709 shall
2 comply with horizontal and vertical articulation requirements.
3 • Non-pitched roof on the drive thru canopy. Ordinance states all structures having a 6,000 s.f. or
4 less foot print shall be constructed with a pitched roof.
5

8 Chairman Murphy opened the public hearing.

10
11 Dennis Minder, 223 Eastwood Drive, Southlake, TX, said he lives just south of the property. He
12 was opposed to all variances requested. He stated that during the SPIN meeting it was agreed
13 that masonry would be used on the facade. He discussed the lighting and would like to see more
14 short poles used in place of fewer tall poles. He would also like to see the ATM machine in the
15 lobby or against the building to eliminate the fourth drive thru. His final comment was that the
16 Applicant should comply with the Ordinances as was agreed to during the SPIN meeting.
17
18 Patty Minder, 223 Eastwood Drive, Southlake, TX, stated that F.C. LeVrier spoke with SPIN # 8
19 and stated there would not be any variances attached to this application. She would like the
20 lighting issue to be addressed.
21
22 Chairman Murphy closed the public hearing.
23 (Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, 08-09-01, CD 1, 9:04:51)
24
25 Commissioner Stansell commented on the previous Concept Plan and the recommendation
26 Planning and Zoning made to Council regarding lighting restrictions. The Council approved a
27 straight "O-1" zoning instead of going with the "S-P" zoning recommendation. He said the
28 Applicant did not show hardship justifying variances.
29
30 Chairman Murphy said it would be irresponsible for the Commission to pass this to Council
31 without better visual aides and show of consideration to comply with the Ordinances.
32
33 Vice-Chairman Terrell agreed and added that he did not like the white metal panels.
34
35 Commissioner Faglie stated this kind of proposal was the reason for the Ordinance regarding the
36 pitched roof requirement.
37
38 Commissioner Muller commented on the previous recommendation for "S-P" zoning in
39 preventing this type of application with the variances requested. She stated there appeared to be
40 no effort made to make the building attractive. She wanted to see pictures. She suggested the
41 Applicant table this item and come back with a better design ...also omitting the 20' light poles.
42
43 Chairman Murphy stated his disapproval of this plan. He said there was no justification for the
44 variances requested and he did not feel comfortable with this presentation.
45

I Mr. Bruyere stated he wanted to proceed. He said the metal panels could go and that he could
2 show hardship with regard to the articulation requirement. He stated the sloped roof would be
3 difficult.
4
5 Commissioner Stansell asked the Applicant if he was willing to remove his requests for
6 variances.
7
8 Mr. Bruyere said he could definitely get rid of the panels and possibly fix the articulation.
9
10 Commissioner Boren asked the Applicant if he wanted to table.
11
12 Mr. Bruyere answered he does not want to table... "if the variances have to go, then okay."
13
14 Commissioner Stansell stated he would not approve the item with any of the variances.
15
16 Commissioner Muller stated that the Applicant should have had a better understanding of the
17 ordinances and the importance of compliance. She said she will not approve this item with the
18 variances because she felt it could be designed to comply.
19
20 Mr. Bruyere asked the Commission to approve the Site Plan with no variances. He said he would
21 re-do the drawings for Council.
22
23 Bruce Payne clarified the application process for the Applicant.
24
25 Mr. Bruyere said if the Commission would approve this project with no variances he would
26 present a better design to Council, complying with all ordinances without question.
27
28 Commissioner Boren stated two issues for the record: the lighting and the concerns of SPIN # 8.
29
30 Motion was made to approve ZA01-068 subject to Site Plan Review Summary No. 3, dated August

Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes on August 9, 2001 10
I Vice-Chairman Terrell suggested three changes to the list of acceptable and unacceptable items that
2 can be seasonably displayed in front of a store. He did not want to see bagged items on the
3 acceptable list and wanted to eliminate propane tanks from the acceptable list and list unfilled
4 propane tanks on the unacceptable list.
