COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The 1987 Plan showed Town Center.
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.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of this final plat subject to the following conditions being met:
