COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable for regional retail uses.
DISCUSSION:
Page 2 of 3
The applicant is requesting to plat an 8.38 acre, seven-lot office park, located
approximately 875' west of Denton Tap on the north side of State Highway
121. Concurrent with the proposed Preliminary Plat, the applicant is final
platting and site planning Lot 2, Block 1 (approximately 1.2 acres).
The reason for preliminary platting the entire 8.38 acres at this time is to
establish TxDOT approval of the proposed ingress/egress points along State
Highway 121 and to establish the number of lots, general property lines and
easement locations. The proposed use for the entire property is unknown at
this time but is being marketed for office, medical and retail which reflects
the existing zoning and uses recommended by the Comprehensive Plan.
The use of the lot being final platted will be office.
The entire northem boundary of the property is to be screened with a 6'-
solid masonry fence. This meets the Zoning Ordinance requirement and will
need to be built along the northern property line. In addition, a 10'
landscaped area immediately south of the fence will also be provided.
The ingress/egress points are shown on the eastern portion of Lot 6 and the
eastern portion of Lot 2. Another is shown as proposed along the property
line of Lot I and the adjacent eastern property. In accordance with the
requirements set forth in the Roadway Design Manual, TxDOT has since
denied this access point, and it will be removed from the plat. There is a
common access and fire lane easement shown, providing each lot access to
and from S.H. 121.
There are no trees currently on this site; thus a tree mitigation plan was not
required. A landscape plan was submitted with the Site Plan package that
meets the Zoning Ordinance regulations. The applicant is still working with
the City's Engineering and Fire Departments regarding fire line looping and
the need for utility easements.
