Consider approval of the Sherrill Acres, Lot Iv Block 1~ Final Plat and Site
Plan Amendment, to allow the construction of a veterinary office on
approximately .776 of an acre of property located along the south side of Belt
Line Road, east of MacArthur Boulevard, at the request of Tom & Leslie
Sherrili.
Presentation:
Assistant Planning Director Marcie Diamond introduced the item to the
Commission, showing exhibits and a color board, explaining the amendment to
the Site Plan consists of increasing the veterinary clinic by approximately 550
square feet and revising the elevations. She explained that the major differences
between these elevations and the previously approved elevation is the elimination
of most of the porch area, change in roof line and the elimination of the dormers
on the east and west elevations, which broke up the massive look of the roof.
After discussing staff's concerns, Ms. Diamond went on to say that staff
recommends approval of both the amended Site Plan and Final Plat, subject to the
conditions, which she read into the record.
Tom and Leslie Sherrill, 152 Mockingbird Lane, Coppell, TX, were present to
represent these items before the Commission and answer any questions. Mrs.
Sherrill explained the reasons for this revised Site Plan.
Discussion:
Extensive discussion followed relative to the placement of the building on the
property, its visual affect from Beltline Road, the pitch and massiveness of the
roof, dormers vs. no dormers, etc. Chairman McCaffrey suggested submitting to
Council two elevations - one with and one without dormers - and let Council
decide which design is more pleasing to the eye.
Action:
Commissioner Nesbit made a motion to approve both the Final Plat and Site Plan
Amendment for Sherrill Acres, Lot 1, Block 1, subject to the following
conditions:
