COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
mixed-use development, which includes restaurants.
DISCUSSION: The current request is to amend and expand this SUP to allow for additional
parking on the rear of an adjacent property on Bullock Road. Access to this
additional parking will be via a driveway over an existing, but unpaved alley.
Since Dickey's restaurant opened, there has been a shortage of parking for the
employees as well as the customers. Vehicles have been parking on the
vacant land to the south of the restaurant, as well as on the subject property
on Bullock Road. On a site visit during the week of July 24th, cars were
parked on unimproved surfaces in the front, side and rear yard of this existing
residential structure. Bullock Drive is currently developed with single family
homes, but zoned for commercial uses. Some of the homes have been
converted to office uses, however, most are still occupied for residential uses.
Therefore, diverting this traffic off of Bullock and onto Denton Tap Road is
desirable.
The site plan for the parking lot proposesl2 additional spaces, with a
driveway connecting the parking lot to the existing Dickey's site. This
driveway will be paved over an existing unimproved alley. Provisions need
to be made to deter vehicles from accessing this unpaved alley, while
allowing for the utility companies to maintain their existing facilities within
this right-of-way. Staff is recommending that, six (6) inch curbs be placed on
both sides of the driveway, as well as signage indicating no access to the alley
is permitted. In the event that this does not deter access to the alley (and
parking), then a more vertical structure may have to be installed, such as
removable bollards.
This additional parking area is required to be served by a 24' fire lane.
According to the Fire Marshall, the fire lane must loop the existing parking
lot and extend across the alley into the proposed parking lot. The platted
existing fire lane is limited to the southeast comer of the h-act. Modifications
to the fire lane can either be established through a re-plat or via a separate
instrument. Finally, a 20-foot high lighting fixture is being proposed at the
end of this parking lot, which is to be a down light, as to not negatively
impact residences in close proximity to this site.
The site plan indicates that the remaining portion of the lot and building
fronting Bullock will be utilized as an office and the provision of four (4)
parking spaces. A note needs to be placed on the site plan that states that
'~tis portion of the site plan is for illustrative purposes only, and does not
constitute site plan approval for this portion of the lof, The landscaping
notes also need to be removed from the site plan. ATTACHED TO
C.C. PACKET
The amount of landscaping shown on the Landscape Plan appears to meet
minimum requirements. The required 10-foot perimeter landscaping is
provided along the property lines. A 5.4-foot buffer is being provided
adjacent to the eight (8) foot wood fence that separates the parking lot from
the existing structure on Bullock. Interior landscaping and number of trees
provided appears to exceed ordinance requirements. Given that no buildings
are being constructed on this tract, non-vehicular landscaping is not
applicable. However, the tabulations on the landscape plan do not reflect the
landscaping required or being provided on the property, and need to be
corrected.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Although this is not an ideal solution to this existing parking problem, it is
beneficial to the existing residents on Bullock, the employees, and patrons of
this established restaurant. Therefore, staff is recommending APPROVAL
subject to the following conditions:
1. Access to the alley shall be prohibited, except by utility companies,
through the installation of 6" curbs and signage. In the event that this
alley is being used for additional parking and access to Dickey's then
additional traffic diverters will be constructed at the owner's expense,
subject to approval by the city and the effected utility companies.
2. Submission of a parking agreement for the use of this "off-site" parking
lot for Dickey's Restaurant.
3. A note being added to the Site Plan and the Landscape Plan stating that
"the office and associated parking on the front portion of this lot as
indicated on the site plan is for illustrative purposes only, and does not
constitute site plan approval for this portion of the lot".
4. The tabulations on the landscape plan need to be revised to reflect the
landscaping indicated on the site plan.
5. The parking lot light shall be a maximum height of 20 feet, and shall be
of a down light type, as defined in Section 36-3 of the Zoning Ordinance,
which shall not produce glare onto adjacent residential properties.
6. The site plan shall be revised to provide and clearly indicate that the
required 24' wide fire lane loops the existing parking lot and extends
across the alley into the proposed parking lot.
ALTERNATIVES:
1) Recommend approval of the request
2) Recommend disapproval of the request
3) Recommend modification of the request
4) Take under advisement for reconsideration at a later date.

Marcie,
I took a look at the fire lane layout for Dickeys. It does not meet the requirements that we provided to
them. The fire lane is to loop around the existing parking lot and is to be designated as "Fire Lane
Easement". If you have any questions, please give me a call at extension 3503.
Thanks
Travis
