ANALYSIS: The application proposes a Slider and Blues Restaurant,-
there is one existing Slider and Blues in Dallas (Hillcrest
and N.W. Highway) - which is basically a family- oriented
and adult singles restaurant, which will have food and
beer /wine service.
As a general statement, the proposed use conforms to the
Comprehensive Plan, there has been an effort to preserve
the Post Oaks and other trees currently on the site, and
the site plan attempts to recognize that this corner and
the way it develops is important to the overall image of
the City.
Because of the attempt to be sensitive to this site and
preserve as much of the existing natural landscape as
possible, this applicant is providing 22 on -site parking
spaces, with 26 shown as off -site. The required parking is
48 spaces. Thus, with a parking agreement with the Minyard
Center, this proposal meets our parking guidelines.
There are basically three issues which necessitate
additional comment. One, the dumpster area might warrant
masonry screening on its eastern boundary inasmuch as the
major vehicular access on the east is directly in front of
the dumpster /service area. Two, the intersection of Denton
Tap and Sandy Lake is designated a Major Intersection in
the Streetscape Plan. As such, the Plan calls, for a
planting bed of annual and perennial flowers, background
plantings of pink and white Crepe Myrtles to accent the
over -story trees, in this case primarily Post Oaks. Three,
at one point in an earlier restaurant discussion, some
concern was expressed that an out -door deck upon which
alcoholic beverages could be served needed to be screened
from Denton Tap. If this issue is still valid, staff would
recommend a solid masonry fence with landscaping in front.
With clarification of these issues, and an indication on
the part of the applicant his willingness to resolve,these
issues to our satisfaction, staff recommends approval of
this S.U.P.
