Submittal Letter - 01-08-19Winkelmann -& Associates, Inc. 6750 HILLCREST PLAZA DR., JE. 325 DALLAS, TX 75230 (972) 490-7090 FAX(972)490-7099 TEXAS ENGINEERING FIRM REGISTRATION No. 89 TEXAS SURVEYOR FIRM REGISTRATION No. 10086600 November 63 2018 Revised: December 17, 2018 Revised: January 8, 2019 RE: Highway 121 at Freeport Parkway Proposed Planned Development The proposed project is anticipated to provide for the orderly development the platted 8.660 acre tract at the Southwest Corner of SH421 and Freeport Parkway. As part of this submittal, we are submitting a Concept PD for the Overall and a Detailed Site Plan for the Quik Trip. The mixed use is anticipated to consist of the Quik Trip on the hard corner along with potential Hotel(s), Retail, Restaurant, and Office uses. These uses are depicted on the Concept Plan. This plan is representative of what we feel is reasonable for the site, however is not meant to establish a final site plan, it is intended to depict conceptual layouts only. The colors and materials used for facade on Exhibits B1 -B3 in no way intended to preclude the use of architectural features or National Branding to define users in their own fashion. The property is currently zoned HC (Highway Commercial). Our proposal is to establish a PD to address the overall project continuity as well as provide for several deviations from the City Standards and HC requirements as follows: A. Hotel uses, if in accordance with City Standards, will not require an SUP, but will require P&Z and City Council approval through the Detailed Site Plan Process. This seems a reasonable request since the City has stated they desire hotel uses in this corridor. Without any deviations to City Code, we see no reason to apply the SUP requirement. This will allow the owner to market the site to potential hotel users who will know specifically what requirements must be met for approval. B. A single gasoline service station may be permitted as shown without the requirements for an SUP, but will require P&Z and City Council approval through the Detailed Site Plan Process. Without any deviations to City Code, we see no reason to apply the SUP requirement. C. A single drive thru will be permitt ed only on an end cap of a Retail Building as shown on the concept plan and will not require an SUP but will require P&Z and City Council approval through the Detailed Site Plan Process. This seems a reasonable request since the City has stated they desire restaurant uses in this corridor. Without any deviations to City Code, we see no reason to apply the SUP requirement. This wil er to market the site to potential restaurant users who will know fbijients must be met for approval ERR G:\780\Ol\ENGINEERING\Correspondence\Submittals\2019.01.08 Zoning for P&Z\Zoning Letter�Highwa�IZl''a�lR��%�f1�� Winkelmann & Associates, Inc. 6750 HILLCREST PLAZA DR., STE. 325 DALLAS, TX 75230 (972) 490-7090 FAX(972)490-7099 TEXAS ENGINEERING FIRM REGISTRATION No. 89 TEXAS SURVEYOR FIRM REGISTRATION No. 10086600 With the development, we proposed the following code deviations: A. Reduce the 10' Landscape Buffer Required between lots to 7.5' for the space between Lots B and D. This area will be utilized to interconnect the entire site to make it walkable between the Office to the Hotel to QT to the multi -tenant buildings as well as provide areas for employees/guests/patrons to gather, enjoy their lunch, spend time outside, etc. B. Given the tract is surrounded by roadway Frontages we request that the 50% "in front" parking requirements be removed. With ROW being on all sides, even as buildings are shifted closer to one ROW, the additional parking required would still be located in the front. C. Reduction of the Non -Vehicular Open Space from 15% to 7%. This seems a reasonable request since each lot is part of the overall development, which as a whole, would meet the requirement. The development is designed to be walkable with all lots having full access to utilize the open spaces provided on each lot.
