DISCUSSION:
The applicant is requesting Revised Site Plan and Final Plat approval for
Lots 1 and 1X, Block A of Gateway Business Park No. 3, subdividing the
7.864 acres of property into two separate lots. Development will occur on
Lot 1, containing 5.241 acres, while the remaining 2.414 acres containing
the floodplain area of Grapevine Creek will make up Lot 1X. An
additional .2090 of an acre will be dedicated as right-of-way along
Freeport Parkway. The applicant is proposing to construct two 100%
office buildings, providing a total of 256 parking spaces, well over the
required 218 spaces.
As stated in the above case History, Planning Commission and City
Council recently approved the Preliminary Plat and Site Plan, which
excluded building elevations. The approval was conditional upon
elevations being submitted in conjunction with the request for Final Plat
approval. All other aspects of the site plan, landscape plan, and plat have
been reviewed and approved; however, a complete site plan package is
included for reference.
Architecture
Because details on building materials were not finalized at the time that the
Site Plan and Preliminary Plat were reviewed, the architectural details and
building elevations will now be reviewed in conjunction with Final Plat
approval. The two proposed buildings will be one-story, each containing
an approximate building area of 32,758 square feet. Because the building
has been designed for office uses only, a significant number of windows
are proposed to be located on all four sides of the building. The building
height will measure 21.9', except where enhanced entrances are proposed to
be slightly higher (approximately 2.5') than the remainder of the building.
The primary building material will be an autumn rose brick. A darker brick
will be placed around the base of the buildings and as accent bands spaced
every 1 ½' feet, halfway up the building walls. Beige (Urban Putty) cast stone
Item# 8
will surround all entmnceways, with matching painted concrete around all
windows and at the top edge of the building.
Final Plat
Lot 1X is located within a floodplain area of Grapevine Creek. The
applicant has placed a note on the plat indicating that maintenance of the
floodplain/easement area is the responsibility of the owner. Additionally,
the applicant submitted a letter in conjunction with the Preliminary Plat,
specifically committing to the removal of trash and brush, grading,
hydromulching, temporary irrigation as necessary, and general
maintenance of the drainage channel. Additionally, as requested by staff,
the applicant has added a 5' wide sidewalk easement along Airline Drive,
in case of future sidewalk construction.
