Item # 9
DISCUSSION: This is a request to add an above grade fuel storage tank to Fire Station//2.
This proposal shows the tank behind a 7 foot brick screening wall, and
will appear to be an addition to the existing building. The 7 foot fence is
to ensure the fuel tank (at 4 feet in height) will not be visible from the
front of the building. The brick will be identical to the existing Station,
and will duplicate the look of the building.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends approval of the amendment to the existing site plan in
that the tank is needed and the design solution of completely screening it
will respect the architectural integrity of the existing station.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Recommend approval of the request.
2) Recommend disapproval of the request.
3) Recommend modification of the request.
4) Take under advisement for reconsideration at a later date.
ATTACHMENTS: 1) Cover sheet and reduced site plan
2) Enlargement of fence and tank location
3) Dimensions of fuel storage tank
4) Elevation of screening wall
5) TXU comments
