Item #6
HISTORY:
This area was preliminary platted as the Sandy Lake Plaza
Addition. In the mid 1980's, the lot to the north of the subject tract
was final platted as Lot 4 of this addition, and a Site Plan was
approved for the Children's World day care center.
In 1997, a request for a Special Use Permit for a Phillips 66 gas
station, convenience store and car wash on 1.2 acres at the
northwest corner of Sandy Lake and Moore Roads was
recommended for denial by the Planning and Zoning Commission;
this case was not appealed to City Council.
In 1999, an application for Site Plan and Minor Plat approval for
Sav-On Drags was submitted on the subject property. The
application was withdrawn prior to Planning and Zoning
Commission consideration.
TRANSPORTATION:
Sandy Lake has recently been improved to a 4-lane divided
thoroughfare, built generally within 95-feet of right-of-way.
Moore Road is a 2-lane undivided collector street, built within 60-
feet of right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North-Day Care Center; C (Commercial)
South - Single-family homes; SF-12 (Single Family-12)
East - vacant and Austin Place residential subdivision; C
(Commercial) and PD-130-SF-7
West - Sandy Lake Road Baptist Church; SF-12 (Single Family-
12)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The 1996 Comprehensive Master Plan shows the property
as suitable for Neighborhood Retail.
DISCUSSION:
As discussed in the HISTORY portion of this report, a
Preliminary Plat for this property was approved in the
1980's; however, a Final Plat for these tracts, which were
envisioned as Lots 1, 2 and 3 of the Sandy Lake Plaza
Addition was never submitted. Therefore, a Minor Plat is
required to establish a building site for this medical
facility.

Item #6
This Minor Plat contains approximately 2.75 acres and
provides for the required fire lane. A mutual access
easement (existing shared driveway with the day care to
the north) is also shown. The existing 15-foot TP&L
easement, which is discussed at length in the review of the
Site Plan, is also depicted. Finally, the plat establishes a
sidewalk and a water easement along Moore Road. The
Engineering Department is requesting that a condition be
included that additional easements may be necessary once
final engineering is complete. Finally, Oncor is also
requesting that the applicant/engineer discuss electric
service requirements with them.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of Sandy Lake Plaza Medical Addition, Lot
1, Block 1, Minor Plat, subject to the following condition:
1) Additional sidewalk and utility easements (City and franchise
utility) may be required.
