TRANSPORTATION: Sandy Lake Road is built as a four-lane divided thoroughfare within 100' of right-of-way. SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North - Single-family residential - Austin Place Addition (PD-130-SF-7) South - Sandy Lake Plaza Retail Center - R (Retail) East - UPS Office - C (Commercial) West - Vacant - C (Commercial) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property as suitable for neighborhood retail uses. DISCUSSION: Page 2 of 3 The applicant desires to construct a 6,514-square-foot dental/medical office building. This size building can be accommodated with the 38 parking spaces proposed. With the development of the properties to the north and the east, a six-foot masonry wall was constructed along their respective boundaries. A mutual access and fire lane easement is being dedicated on the property to the west extending north and then east through the proposed subdivision. This will allow for both properties to have access to the existing full median opening on Sandy Lake Road. The construction of the entire proposed drive will occur with the development of the subject property. The Landscape Plan meets City requirements, having 39% of the site devoted to landscaping. Cedar Elms are proposed as the dominant street tree along Sandy Lake Road per the Streetscape Plan, and intemaI to the site, Live Oak, Cedar Elms and Burr Oak trees will be planted. A hedgerow of Dwarf Burford Holly will screen the parking lot. There are three significant trees on the property. A 43-caliper-inch Post Oak and 16-caliper-inch Hackberry are proposed to be removed. One 25-caliper-inch Pecan tree is proposed to remain. Twelve trees (3-caliper-inch) have been added above those required to offset the mitigation cost. The building will be a combination of light brown brick and Austin stone (used at the entry and 4' high along the base). This building will have an 8- to 12-roof pitch, with a total height not to exceed 35'. Standard composition shingles are proposed for the majority of the roof. Along the front elevation, Item #16 there are two dormers planned with stone veneer and decorative bronze standing seam roofs. The same roof type is planned along the main entry. Staff recommends that the structure be a red brick color similar to the adjacent existing and proposed developments, instead of the proposed light brown color. The Site Plan depicts a 38-square-foot monument sign with a stone base and stone columns approximately 75' fi.om the eastern property line and 15' fi.om the front property line, which meets the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The interior material of the sign is not noted. This is recommended to match the brick of the building and have black pin- mounted letters. The lighting of the sign is not shown, and per the Zoning Ordinance, can only be externally lit.
