DISCUSSION: The project site lies at the city's premiere primary image zone and the bank's southwest orientation will create a strong visual character for the Denton Tap and Sandy Lake intersection. Initially, access to the bank will be from 5..ndy Lake Road and as Lot 2 develops both lots will share a mutual access along Denton Tap Road. The site is heavily wooded with numerous large caliper post oak trees. The siting of the proposed building and the placement of parking spaces has considered the location of numerous trees worthy of preservation. The developer has agreed to clearly mark and protect the base of all trees to be maintained. There was some concern expressed at City Council's preliminary plat approval meeting, that the applicant needed to show more sensitivity to a group of oak trees at the main exterior to the bank. City Council expressed a desire to preserve more of those trees, if possible. The brick screened dumpster presently partially located on Lot 1 and 2 will have to be relocated to a site agreed upon by the City Engineer.
