APPLICANT: Owner: Engineer: Dr. Tom and Leslie Sherrill 820 S. Mac Arthur Blvd., Suite 118 Coppell, Texas 75019 972-462-7387 FAX 972-393-2002 Robert Sclmeeberg Gonzalez and Schneeberg 6500 Greenville Ave, Suite 685 Dallas, Texas, 75206 214-891-1480 FAX 214-891-1437 HISTORY: On April 11, 2000 the City Council approved a preliminary plat for three (3) lots known as Sherrill Acres. Site plans for a Veterinary Clinic and office warehouse were also approved at that time. This application is to amend the site plan and approve the final plat on Lot 2 for a Veterinary Clinic. Item # 9 TRANSPORTATION: East Beltline Road is a P6D 6 lane divided major thoroughfare built within a 120' wide right-of-way. SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North- Railroad, vacant; MF-2 South - Archon Apartments; PD-162- MF-2 East - Archon Apartments; PD-162- MF-2 West -Blooming Colors Nursery: LI COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for light industrial/showroom uses DISCUSSION: Site Plan: As noted above, this applicant received site plan approval earlier this year for a 5,400 square foot Veterinary Clinic. This site plan is being amended to increase the square footage of the building to 5,950 square feet and to revise the elevations. The building is essentially in the same location as the approved site plan, however, the depth of the building has increased by approximately 10 feet, moving the building closer to the north property line. The from wall of the building will now be setback approximately 90 feet from Belt Line Road. The apartments to the east are setback approximately 60 feet from Belt Line Road, so this relocation will not have a negative impact on the streetscape. A lobby area has also been added to the eastern elevation. All other elements of the site plan have remained essentially the same, parking count, location of the dumpster and landscaping. However, the typical parking space has been labeled as 9' by 18'. The minimum requirement for a parking space is 9' by 19', with a 24 foot aisle required unless additional landscaping is provided. In terms of landscaping, the only substantial change is the addition of two (2) Chinese Pistache trees along Belt Line Road. Elevations: The most substantial change in this amended site plan is the proposed revisions to the elevations of the building. The previously approved plans indicated porches on the north and west, and dormers on the east and west elevations to break up the expanse of the roof. The main exterior material was proposed to be face brick with stone as architectural accent along the bottom and the corners of the building. The columns were a combination of brick Item # 9 and stone. In our opinion, the approved elevations for this building are much more attractive than this proposed revision. The revised plan includes the same building materials as the previous, however, the building facade and the roof design has been substantially revised. The porches have been deleted, except for a roof over the door on the north elevation and porch along a portion of the east elevation. The revised elevations also include additional stone on the east and west facades. The columns that were previously brick and stone are now proposed to be all stone. The roof (composition shingle) has been redesigned which has resulted in awkward roof lines. This roof structure on the east and west elevations are approximately 100 feet in length and almost 15 feet in height and therefore dominate the appearance of these facades. The dormers which were previously used to break up the massive appearance of this roof have been deleted in this revised plan. The applicant has submitted pictures of a similar building, however, the building in the pictures appears to be 2/3 the size of the proposed building, has standing seam versus composition shingle roof and therefore does not appear so massive. Final Plat: As discussed, the preliminary plat for this and two additional lots was approved in April of this year. The first phase of this development is a Veterinary Clinic on Lot 2. This plat provides for the mutual access easements along the north and west property lines. Once Lot 2 is developed, the mutual access easement will be extended tO the west to provide access to the proposed median opening on Belt Line Road. If this additional accessibility is desired prior to the development of Lot 2, then this easement can be extended by separate instrument. The construction and funding of the median opening may also occur by separate agreement between the land owners. This plat also provides for the extension of the 15' hike and bike trial easement adjacent to Belt Line Road. Item # 9 RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: Staff is recommending APPROVAL of the amended site plan and final plat and DENIAL of the revised elevations. The approval of the site plan is subject to: 1. A revision to the parking to provide 9' by 19' parking spaces with a 24' aisle. 2. The incorporation of the previously approved elevations into the revised site plan package. ALTERNATIVES: 1) Recommend approval of the request. 2) Recommend disapproval of the request 3) Recommend modification of the request 4) Take under advisemem for reconsideration at a later date (site plan only).
