There is no zoning history on this particular tract, however, the
tract immediately adjacent to the south was granted a SUP and a
Minor Plat for a Sonic Restaurant.
Denton Tap Road is a P6D, six lane divided thoroughfare within
100 foot right-of-way.

North- Huntington Ridge Homeowners Association's common area; SF9-
PD129R
South -Sonic Restaurant; C-SUP 1077
East - Eleanor's Square Shopping Center; TC
Item # 10
West - Huntington Ridge Subdivision; SF9-PD129R
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
neighborhood retail uses.
DISCUSSION:
The applicant is proposing a 3,996 square foot retail building. The initial
application was for a 4,884 square foot building with two drive through
facilities. However, the site was too small to accommodate the parking and
the landscape requirements. This submittal includes a 2,996 square foot
Dry Cleaners with a drive-through on the southern 2/3rds of the building
and a 1,000 square foot restaurant (donut shop), without a drive through,
on the north side. The restaurant will be required to obtain a Special Use
Permit prior to occupancy.
These uses will be served by 25 parking spaces, determined at a ratio of
one space per 200 square feet for the retail (cleaners) and one space per
100 square feet for the restaurant (donut shop). Access to this site will be
via a shared driveway with Sonic. Given that these proposed uses are
mainly A.M. peak uses, and southbound Denton Tap Road is most
congested during this time, a deceleration lane is being required to serve
this site. Currently, there is a 4 foot gap between this property line and
the existing driveway. This mutual access easement will have to be
extended via separate instrument with the abutting property owner. The
plan indicates a 6 foot sidewalk, this sidewalk should be reduced to 5 feet
in width.
The plan indicates that a 6 foot high masonry wall will be erected along
the north and west property lines, as required when non-residential abuts
residential uses. The plan states that the wall will "match existing."
Additional specification as to color and materials needs to be included. It
is assumed that the wall will match the existing wall on the Sonic property
and the Huntington Ridge Addition.
The Landscape Plan indicates that just over 40 % of the site will be devoted
to landscaping. This plan generally meets, or slightly exceeds (in number
of trees) the requirements of the ordinance. The perimeter landscaping
meets the requirements. Minor modifications to the areas counted toward
non-vehicular versus interior landscaping could balance the requirements
of each. However, the figures in the Landscape Tabulations do not reflect
what is indicated on the plan (i.e. total perimeter is 8,257 vs. 8,157,
number of trees required and provided are off by one tree in almost all
categories, and summary of the square footage of landscaping provided are
miscalculated.) These differences need to be rectified prior to forwarding
for City Council consideration.
Item# 10
The Elevations indicate a brick veneer with less than 20 % split face block
along the base and stucco detail along the roofline. Hunter Green awnings
are proposed along the east elevation, facing Denton Tap Road. The roof
over the drive through for the cleaners is proposed to be a standing seam
metal roof in generally the same dark green color as the awnings.
The signage is proposed to meet the maximum allowed for attached
signage, which is one square foot of sign for every one linear foot of
frontage, allowing for 74 square feet of sign area. The plans indicate that
the signs will be back lit with medium Helvetica font, however, the color
is not specified. The monument sign is also proposed to meet the
maximum allowed, 40 square feet, but again the color of the letters is not
specified.
The Minor Plat establishes this 0.842 acre tract as a separate lot. This
plat designates the fire lane and existing and proposed easements. As
noted above, to allow for this site plan to function as planned, an
additional mutual access easement will need to be obtained from the
property owner abutting to the south to utilize the shared driveway.
Finally, TXU is requesting additional easements within this tract.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of a Site Plan and Minor Plat for Dry Clean City
subject to:
1. Any restaurant use will require a SUP prior to the issuance of a building
permit for that use.
2. Modification of the Landscape Plan tabulations to assure the required amount
of landscaping is provided in each category.
3. Rectify the differences in the Landscape Tabulations and the landscaping
provided on the site plan.
4. Specify color and materials of lettering on proposed attached and monument
signs. The color of raceway on the attached signs needs to match the brick on
which it is mounted.
5. Width of the sidewalk being reduced from 6 to 5 feet.
6. Specify color and materials of the proposed 6 foot high wall along the north
and west property lines.
7. Obtain a mutual access easement from abutting property owner to allow for
the shared driveway.
8. Provide easements(s) as required by TXU Electric and Gas

Site Plan and Minor Plat
West side of Denton Tap Road,
north of West Town Center Blvd.
DRC Date: October 26~h and November 2, 2000
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting: November 16, 2000
City Council Meeting: December 12, 2000
Site Plan:
1. Consider another name for the development and the plat which is more in keeping
with the size and scale of the proposed development.
2. Need to specify the required brick screening wall along the north and east
property lines. This wall should match color and materials of the existing wall
around Sonic.
3. Need to specify the dumpster screening. Consider relocating the dumpster closer
to the building, not adjacent to the single family nor visible from Denton Tap
Road.
4. Parking calculations indicate 32 spaces being provided, however only 31 appear
on the site plan. There are only 12 spaces along Denton Tap Road.
· If the proposed use is 100% retail, then only 25 spaces would be required.
The maximum ratio of restaurant to retail would be 3,600 square feet of retail
and 1,284 of restaurant to meet the parking requirements.
· Need to submit a conceptual floor plan to clarify the proposed size and access
points to the individual tenants.
5. Any restaurant (donut shop) will require a SLIP.
6. Add the curve data to the fire lane, 30' inside and 54' outside radii are required.
7. Need to demonstrate that the queuing for the drive though widows will not
conflict with the fire lanes.
8. The proposed monument sign may be a maximum of 40 square feet with a height
of 4 feet and must be setback 75 feet from the adjacent property line to the south
and 15 feet from the property line adjacent to Denton Tap Road.
· Need to provide elevations, color, materials and proposed font for the
monument sign.
8. Need to add all existing and proposed easements, including access and utility
easements and reflect the same on the plat.
Elevations:
1. Need to indicate the proposed signage on the east elevation of the building.
2. Need to include manufacture's specification, including colors of all proposed
materials.

o
Provide a color board.
All ground level and roof mounted equipment needs to be screened.
Will both proposed uses utilize the same door, or will there be two doors on the
east elevation?
Landscape Plan:
The amount of perimeter landscaping meets the requirement, however, the areas for
parking lot and the non-vehicular landscaping is severely deficient and there are
conflicts in the tree counts. Specifically:
1. Revise inconsistencies between the Landscape Tabulations which state that 26
trees are required, and the landscape plan, where 29 trees are shown.
2. Provide a table indicating the type, quantity, and species of trees provided.
3. Interior Landscaping:
· Per Section 34-1-8 (B.3) of the Zoning Ordinance, provide an island and a tree
at the end of each parking row. The tree islands need to be a minimum of 150
square feet, with a minimum width of 9 feet, a minimum of 4 islands are
required for 32 parking spaces.
· As indicated in the Landscape Tabulations Table 2,120 square feet of interior
landscaping is required, and only 1,450 square feet is being shown (over a
30% shortage).
4. Non-vehicular landscaping:
· As indicated in the Landscape Tabulations Table 4,770 square feet ofnono
vehicular landscaping is required, and only 1,160 square feet is being shown
(over a 75% shortage).
· Per the landscape ordinance, 50% of the non-vehicular landscaping (2,385 sq.
fr.) is required to be in the front yard, only 300 square feet is provided in the
front yard.
IT APPEARS THAT THE BUILDING SIZE WILL NEED TO BE REDUCED
TO ACCOMMODATE EVEN THE MINIMAL LANDSCAPE
REQUIREMENTS.
Plat:
Need to rename the plat "Minor Plat" of the City Center Addition.
Need to add the fire lanes to the plan (with dimensions and curve data), and
access and utility easements, which need to conform with the easements and
circulation patterns on the site plan.
The City Secretary's signature block needs to be revised to reflect the correct
name of the plat, being City Center Addition, not the Sonic Addition, and to
correct the year from 1999 to 2000.
The Owner's Certificate needs to be revised to add a signature line for the
owner's signature.
Revise the Franchise Utilities signature block to reflect TXU Electric and Gas.
