Council on December 8, 1998.

Item # 9
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as s~itable
for light industrial and showroom uses.
DISCUSSION: We note that the resubmitted Landscaping Plan, Irrigation Plan,
Site Plan and Final Plat do not contain the same acreage--a
problem we had with the original submittal. The Plat and Site
Plan indicate a 14.0 acre site, the Landscape and Irrigation Plan
show a 12.5 acre tract. Staff needs clarification on these
numbers as well as recognition that all planted trees must be a,
minimum 3 inch caliper (the Landscape Plan shows 22 Cedar
Elms along the extension road to Northpoint Drive as being 2.5
inch caliper). Provided a logical explanation can be given
regarding these minor concerns, staff supports this request.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
The planning staff recommends approval of the Final Plat subject to:
1) combining Lone Star Gas and TU Electric signature block
2) Changing signature block to reflect Planning Commission has
final plat authority with respect to this application.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Recommend approval of the request
2) Recommend disapproval of the request
ATTACHMENTS: 1) Final Plat document
2) Site Plan
3) Landscape Plan
4) Irrigation Plan
