HISTORY:
In 1987, Council approved a Final Plat and a Special Use Permit
on the current request area for a Firestone store. However, given
that no building permit was issued within the required six-month
time period, this permit expired.

Item #14
On April 20, 2000, the Planning and Zoning Commission
recommended denial of a Special Use Permit for an auto repair
garage on the subject property based on the Site Plan's lack of
adherence to the Landscape and Sign Ordinances, conflicts with the
recommendations of the CIVIC Report in terms of colors proposed,
and aesthetic concerns with the bay doors facing a thoroughfare
designated as a primary image zone.
In June of that year, the Planning and Zoning Commission
reviewed a revised Site Plan for a Firestone store and made
additional recommendations for revisions to the screening,
landscaping and the elevations, voting to continue the Public
Hearing on this SUP until its next meeting. Before this date, the
applicant withdrew its application.
TRANSPORTATION:
Sandy Lake Road is a two-lane asphalt road within 110-foot right-
of-way, shown on the Thoroughfare Plan as a C4D four-lane
divided collector street. The improvements to this section of Sandy
Lake Road are in the design stage.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- Albertson's Shopping Center; C (Commercial)
South -vacant; C (Commercial)
East - Exxon gas station and McDonald's; R (Retail)
West -vacant; R (Retail)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
Neighborhood Retail Uses.
DISCUSSION:
Page 2 of 4
The applicant desires to construct a 7,198-square-foot retail building on
this site with 36 parking spaces. Given the limited amount of parking
available, the occupancy of this building will be generally limited to
retail uses. A restaurant with a maximum square footage of
approximately 1,400-square feet could be accommodated within this
building, limiting the remainder space to office uses, which have a lower
parking requirement.
Access to this property from Sandy Lake Road will be via the existing
mutual access easement that serves as a secondary access point for the
existing gas station and McDonald's restaurant. A fire lane will be
Item//14
Page 3 of 4
provided in from of the building, parallel to Sandy Lake, which
terminates at the west property line, allowing for the eventual extension
onto the abutting property. It is recommended that this fire lane also be
a designated as mutual access easement.
Existing trees impact this site. There are 19 trees, ranging in size from 6-
to 38-caliper inches. While the applicant was successful in preserving
approximately 44 percent of the trees, mainly along the western property
line, including a 20-caliper inch Pecan and 17-caliper inch Elm tree, the
remaining 113-caliper inches need to be removed. The 20 trees required
to be planted on this site have been up-sized from three- to five-caliper
inches to address some of the tree mitigation issues. A tree removal
permit, based on a current tree survey, will be required prior to the
removal of any trees.
The Landscape Plan addresses most of the City's requirements, showing
that approximately 30 percent of the site is devoted to landscaping. This
plan includes a 27-foot landscape buffer along Sandy Lake Road and 15
feet of landscaping along the southern property line, coinciding with the
existing TXU easement. Due to the uncertainty of whether or not trees
can be planted within this easement, the Landscape Plan does not
indicate the four required overstory trees along the southern property
line. These trees have been distributed along the other property lines.
The placement of these additional 5-caliper inch trees, coupled with
working around the existing trees being preserved, has resulted in an
overcrowding of the trees along the other three property lines. The
Landscape Plan indicates the Cedar Elm trees to be as close as 15 feet on
center. The recommended spacing for these trees is no less than 20-feet
on center. Given the visibility of the rear of the building from adjacent
land uses, it is recommended that discussions with TXU be pursued to
determine what types of trees and/or vegetation can be planted within
this easement, reducing the density of the trees along the other property
lines accordingly. The parking lot will be buffered from Sandy Lake by
Dwarf Burford Hollies and accented by seasonal color.
Finally, the elevations of this building indicate a fairly typical retail
building. The main building material will be red brick with limited EFIS as
an accent material. The metal roof will be a hunter green. A clarification is
needed on the elevations as to the materials proposed for the columns. The
label states that they will be "brick or stone". However, it is rendered
similar to the rest of the building, which is brick, and there is no stone on the
color board. Along the rear of the building, the color of the man-doors
needs to be specified as being painted to match the color of the building. The
color board lacks the identification of the manufacturer specifications, which
also need to be reflected on the elevations.
Item #14
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends approval of Sandy Lake Crossing, Lot 2R, Block 1, Site
Plan, subject to:
1) Revise label on fire lane parallel to Sandy Lake Road to a fire lane
and mutual access easement.
2) A tree removal permit, based on a current tree survey, will be
required prior to the removal of any trees.
3)
Discussions with TXU be pursued to determine what types of trees
and/or vegetation will be allowed to be planted within this
easement, reducing the density of the trees along the other property
lines, accordingly.
4) Clarification is needed on the elevations as to the materials of the
columns. It is stated as "brick or stone".
5) The color board needs to identify the manufacturer specifications,
which also need to be reflected on the elevations.
