as suitable for Mixed Use.
DISCUSSION:
Page 2 of 4
This is a proposal for a 1,400-square-foot stand-alone donut shop and caf6
along the west side of Denton Tap Road, just south of Dickey's Barbecue
Pit. The Site Plan shows joint access with the property to the south and a
connection into Dickey's fire lane to the north. This will provide the much
needed mutual access for commercial development. The parking required
for a restaurant is one space per 100-square feet. The applicant is meeting
that requirement by showing 14 spaces. The Site Plan is very well drafted
and complete. However an outstanding question is the provision for a
menu board. At this time, one is not proposed. Staff recommends that if
one is wanted in the future, administrative approval be applicable. Staff
will take into account the required five stacking spaces to be located
outside the fire lane, the visibility from Denton Tap Road and the noise
associated with the speaker system, considering the adjacency to the
residential property to the west.
The Landscape Plan is in accordance with the landscape area
requirements, but not with the Streetscape Plan of the Subdivision
Ordinance for the retail edge treatment. This calls for Cedar Elms with
accent trees, Crape Myrtles at the entry, and Sweet Gums and Chinese
Pistache as overstory trees. Two of the three trees along the front, the
Shumard Red Oak and the Lacebark Elm, should be replaced with Cedar
Elms, and the other, a Sweet Gum, can remain. One Crape Myrtle will
need to be added to the entry. The architect has suggested that not all of
the 27 Needle Point Holly will be planted due to the blocking of the
proposed monument sign. Staff recommends tapering the Needle Point
Item# 7
Holly at the edge of the parking island and planting perennials or
something smaller in size in front of the monument sign.
The elevations match the 80% masonry requirements and the construction
specifications. There is 30' linear frontage onto Denton Tap; therefore, the
attached sign size, at 27-square feet, meets the maximum allowed (30-square
feet). The monument sign will need to be reduced to a maximum 40 square
feet measured according to the Ordinance standards (the height includes the
base of the sign to the very top multiplied by the total width which is
measured from the edge of the EFIS cap). There is a 6' proposed screening
wall along the rear that will match the red brick on the proposed building.
There are three 20'-high shoebox lights proposed to cover the three different
parking areas. Each meets the glare and lighting standards of the Zoning
Ordinance.
There are six tables and one dining counter shown on the floor plan. The
total number of chairs shown is 21. The hours of operation shall not exceed
5 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING ANT) ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends approval of the SUP, subject to the following conditions being met:
1) The site shall be developed in accordance with the site plan, revised
landscape plan, revised monument sign elevations and floor plan.
2) The hours of operation shall not exceed 5 a.m. to I0 p.m., seven days a week.
3) The contractor is responsible for the installation of a minimum 750-gallon
grease interceptor and commercial hood with fire protection system.
4) Revise total sign size and sign calculations to reflect the total width
(measured from the edge of the EFIS cap) multiplied by the total height
(measured from the bottom of base to the top of the EFIS cap). This
cannot exceed 40-square feet.
5) Revise Landscape Plan to reflect the typical retail edge requirements of the
Streetscape Plan.
6) Compliance with the attached Engineering plat comments.

Item #8
HISTORY: No development history on the subject tract.
TRANSPORTATION:
Denton Tap is a P6D, six-lane divided thoroughfare built to standard
within a 120 foot right-of-way.
SUtLROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North Dickey's Barbecue Pit, C (Commercial S.U.P.-1155)
South Vacant, C (Commercial)
East - Callahan (Green Oaks) Addition, PD-195-0
West - Residential, PD-I9g (SF-7)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable for Mixed Use.
DISCUSSION:
This is a proposal for a 1,400-square-foot stand-alone donut shop and caf~
along the west side of Denton Tap Road, just south of Dickey's Barbecue
Pit. The Plat show's an access and fire lane easement on the southern
property line, running in front of the restaurant and connecting into
Dickey's fire lane and access easement to the north. This will provide the
necessary mutual access for commercial development. There is a 10'
sidewalk and utility easement proposed running north to south, abutting
the Denton Tap right-of-way. There are only a few technical items that
need addressing. These are outlined in the plat conditions. After they are
met, the plat will meet the Subdivision Ordinance requirements.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL, subject to the following conditions being met:
1) Correct the zoning on the property to the west (PD-198-SF-7).
2) Record, by separate instrument, the fire lane easement south of the property.
The document and recording information for all adjacent offsite easements
will need to be provided to the City Engineer prior to plat release for
recordation.
3) Compliance with the attached Engineering comments.
