COMPKEI4~NS~ PLAN:
The 1987 Plan showed Town Center uses.
DISCUSSION:
Banks are a permitted use in the Town Center District and the bank building and drive-in bank
proposed by Comerica complies completely with the requirements of the final plat.
Proposed parking facilities are more than adequate to meet the demand generated by .bank
patrons. In addition, landscaping plans for the proposed parking lots surpass minimum
requirements. Staff commends the applicant for reconfiguring the south access to the front
parking lot to preserve one 26" pecan tree and one 18" elm tree.
The site plan is showing a monument sign at the northwest property line and a fight-mm only
directional sign along Denton Tap Road, approximately 80 feet from the south property line.
However, the applicant has not provided elevations of the proposed signs.
RECO~ATION:
Staff recommends approval of the Final Plat, subject to engineering recommendations, but points
out that the monument sign #1 as submitted by Plasti-Line, Inc., occupies a space greater than
75 square feet. Staff further recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission alert the
Town Center District Architectural Review Board that the materials proposed for the monument
sign are not compatible with either the proposed building or the character of other construction
within the Town Center district.
Engineering recommendations are:
1. Show visibility triangles at all ingress/egress points.
2. Show 10'-wide sidewalk easement adjacent to Denton Tap Road.
ALTERNATIVES:
1) Approve the Final Plat
2) Disapprove the Final Plat
3) Modify the Final Plat
