TRANSPORTATION:
Sandy Lake Road has recently been improved to a four-lane
divided thoroughfare, built generally within 95-feet of right-of-
way. Moore Road is a two-lane undivided collector street, built
within 60-feet of right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - Medical/Office building (under construction); C (Commercial)
South - Residential; SF-12 (Single Family-12)
East - Retail shopping center and gas station; R (Retail)
West - Residential; SF-12 (Single Family-12)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable for Neighborhood Retail.
DISCUSSION:
This request is to allow for the development of a one-story, 2,700-
square-foot florist and office building. There are 12 required parking
spaces and 12 proposed, devoting 10 spaces for the 2,090-square foot
retail section and two spaces to the 610-square-foot office. As discussed
in the HISTORY section of this report, this was originally platted as a
residential subdivision. This development is in compliance with the
1996 Comprehensive Plan, depicting Neighborhood Retail as an
appropriate use.
The proposed Site Plan is in compliance with the zoning regulations in
terms of setbacks, parking, signage and building height. As shown on
the Tree Mitigation & Landscape Plan, the plant materials are close to
complying with the Zoning Ordinance in terms of area devoted to
landscaping and quantities. Three of the four existing trees are being
preserved - 36" Red Oak and 24" & 29" Post Oaks. The perimeter
landscape area along Moore is only 10-feet wide (15' is required). Due
to the desire to save the large trees on-site and the necessary number of
parking spaces, this is acceptable to staff and may be approved as part of
this Planned Development.
The alignment of the proposed drive to that of the shopping center's
drive across Moore Road is a concern. This is shown as having a 6.5'
offset. In moving this proposed drive farther south, the required 10'
perimeter landscaping will be slightly reduced. Because this is a
Planned Development, a concession to this requirement can be made. A
minor reduction will allow for a closer alignment of the drives and leave
enough area for the proposed trees along the property line. The trees

will help screen this area from the abutting residential land use in
addition to the required six-foot masonry-screening wall. There are
drainage concerns to be resolved before the wall location and design can
be approved.
There are two proposed dead-end fire lane easements, one off Sandy
Lake and one off Moore Road. These will allow for a fire truck to park
and not block either of the roadways. There is a proposed fire hydrant
located in the drive-island off of Sandy Lake. The easements and the
hydrant are acceptable to the Fire Marshal and are in accordance with
the Fire Code.
The height of the building is approximately 29'. The elevations show
the majority of the building to be "red sunset" brick. The box windows
will be siding material and are "water chestnut" in color. There will be
sunbrella-style awnings that are "erin green" on the north and east
elevations. The trim is both white and "water chestnut". The
monument sign will match the building. It will need to be moved in 15'
from the property line.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of this request, subject to the following conditions:
1) Move monument sign 15' from the property line.
2) Adjust drive to more closely align with the existing drive across Moore
Road, while leaving adequate area (7.5') for the perimeter trees.
3) Show proposed attached sign area with dimensions.
4) Coordinate with the Engineering department the exact design of the
proposed masonry-screening wall, and show materials and color on the
elevations.
5) Ensure the dimensions on the Engineering Plans are the same as those
submitted on the Site Plan.
6) Adherence to attached Engineering comments.

TRANSPORTATION:
Sandy Lake Road has recently been improved to a four-lane
divided thoroughfare, built generally within 95-feet of right-of-
way. Moore Road is a two-lane undivided collector street, built
within 60-feet of right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - Medical/Office building (under construction); C (Commercial)
South - Residential; SF~12 (Single Family-12)
East - Retail shopping center and gas station; R (Retail)
West - Residential; SF-12 (Single Family-12)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable for Neighborhood Retail.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this replat is to add drainage easements and a fire lane.
Because this is a residential replat, a notification to those property
owners within the existing subdivision was required. This notification
was sent out to four additional property owners within the subdivision.
One was returned in favor and zero in opposition.
The current drainage of the surrounding property to the south and west
is through this lot. Routing of this drainage and accommodating the
required 6' masonry screening wall on the property line will affect the
placement of the easements. The easements, if proposed, are required tn
be at least 20' wide. The private utilities will not be allowed within the
easements.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the Replat, subject to the following conditions being
met:
1) Revise the utility signature block to read the "TXU Electric Delivery" in
place of "Oncor Electric Delivery Company".
2) Coordinate with the Engineering Department for the placement of the
required masonry screening wall and easements on the south and west
property lines.
3) Compliance with the attached Engineering comment sheet.
