square feet, with a 240 seat dining area. The existing porte cochere will be
`4■ . remodeled;
3. The general area between the existing tower and the Gator's Grill will be
reconstructed with permanent walls and roofing system structurally connecting
the two areas. The newly created area will be developed as the commercial
kitchen from which the room service and restaurant meals will be prepared;
4. A 4,750 sq. ft. ballroom will be created within a portion of the tower's second floor
and extend northward with a portion constructed above the commercial kitchen;
5. A new porte cochere will be constructed on the south/southwest area of the
tower to create the main entryway into the hotel;
6. The existing pole sign standard will be used and the signage replaced with name
of the hotel and restaurant;

parcel immediately to the east and south, a total of 378 spaces are provided,
exceeding the required number by 83 spaces; and
8. Street yard areas containing over 12,000 sq. ft. of landscaping will be developed
in areas that front the Airport Freeway frontage road, Dock McGinnis Drive and
,.. Westpark Court.
Mayor Saleh asked for any proponents.
Roger Albright, 3301 Elm, Dallas, attorney for the applicant, introduced Tyler Duncan,
architect; Mike Gearborn, contractor; Nick Mimette, owner; Kevin McConn, current
manager of Gator's; and Tom Hoover, engineer.
Mr. Albright stated that they will be adding another floor to the existing building,
reconstructing the restaurant that will be approximately 9,500 sq. ft. with 240 seating
capacity, and adding a ballroom on the second floor.
There being no additional proponents or opponents, Mayor Saleh closed the public
hearing at 7:30 p.m.
Council Member Miller motioned to approve the first and final reading of Ordinance No.
1720 on Lot 4AR1, Westpark Central, for a hotel redevelopment project in C-2
(Community Business District) zoning located at 2155 West Airport Freeway, subject to
the following conditions: (1) Tied to the owner of the hotel development, Composite
Investments, Inc.; (2) Tied to the applicant entering into a contract with Choice Hotels
International, Inc., for the operation of a Clarion Collection boutique hotel product, the
name of said boutique hotel has not yet been determined; (3) Tied to the owner of
w.. Sports City Café, Three New millennium Group, Inc., a subsidiary of Composite
Investments, Inc.; (4) The sale and consumption of food must constitute at least 25% of
Sports City Café's gross revenues; (5) No sexually oriented business
promotions/activities on the premises; and (6) Following the issuance of the initial
City Council Minutes Page 4 of 16 February 14, 2006
Certificate of Occupancy, the continued operation of either the hotel or Sports City Café
�.. would be permitted, and a new SUP would not be required, if any actions are taken by
the owner, Composite Investments, Inc., or its subsidiary, or taken by the City of Euless,
that result in the suspension of operations of either the hotel or Sports City Café.
Council Member Massey seconded the motion.
In response to questions, the applicant stated the rooms average 17 x 12 and some of
the rooms will be combined to form suites.
Council Member Miller asked if the breakfast facility will be separate and run by Clarion
and the restaurant will do lunch, dinner, and nightclub.
Mr. Albright stated the kitchen will operate to serve the restaurant, customers having
room service, and the continental breakfast area.
City Manager Joe Hennig stated he thought the Clarion Hotels required a hot breakfast
to be served.
Nick Mimette stated that Clarion requires full kitchen; however, Clarion Collection does
not. Sports City Café will not serve breakfast, but the kitchen will provide breakfast,
both for purchase and complimentary items, to be served in the hotel area.
In response to whether someone could eat at the restaurant and charge the ticket to
their hotel bill, Mr. Albright stated they would be able to do so. For internal accounting,
they will track the amount of money received from the various areas.
Council Member Tyson asked whether the breakfast totals will be part of the 25%
requirement for food sales in the Sports City Café, since the hotel will be providing the
breakfasts.
Roger Albright responded that they would do it however staff wanted it done.
Council Member Tyson stated he wasn't going to tell them how to do it, he wanted to
know how they planned to handle it.
Council Member Miller stated he didn't want to see them hurt themselves. He thinks if
the breakfast is purchased, it should somehow get earmarked for the restaurant
because he wants the hotel to be successful.
Mayor Saleh asked if the ballroom will be dividable for conferences and if meals could
be served.
Mr. Albright stated yes.
Council Member Miller asked when the project will be started and when it will open.
Mr. Albright stated that he was told that they are ready for a building permit as quickly
as this week.

ITEM NO. 6 PRESENTATION OF SHOPS AT VINEYARD VILLAGE PROPOSED
TO BE LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF SH 121 AND
GLADE ROAD
Director of Planning and Development Mike Collins and Michael Coker, 2700 Swiss
Avenue, Dallas, Texas, representing The Burk Collins Company, d.b.a., Vineyard
Village, LTD, and Lowe's Home Improvement Center, made an overall presentation of
The Shops at Vineyard Village.
The Shops at Vineyard Village is proposed for the southeast corner of SH 121 and
Glade Road on property zoned "TX-121" the 121 Gateway District. The retail
development encompasses 51 acres and will include approximately 407,000 sq. ft. of
retail space in multiple structures. The overall development includes the following
individual structures located adjacent to Gateway Blvd: 117,000 sq. ft. Lowe's Home
Improvement Center; an in-line structure consisting of approximately 177,660 sq. ft. of
retail space to be finished out to accommodate 8 individual users; and, a 45,000 sq. ft.
L. A. Fitness Sports Membership Club.
The overall development also includes eleven out-parcel pad sites fronting the SH 121
service road that would serve four restaurants, three restaurants with drive-through;
three retail spaces, and one bank. These eleven pad sites specifically include: 4,200 sq.
ft. depository institution with drive-through; a 1,792 sq. ft. eating establishment with
drive-through; a 13,520 sq. ft. retail; a 3,279 sq. ft. eating establishment with drive-
City Council Minutes Page 6 of 16 February 14, 2006
through; a 5,875 sq. ft. eating establishment with drive-through; a 4,550 sq. ft. retail; a
�.• 12,025 sq. ft. retail; a 5,700 sq. ft. eating establishment; a 5,840 sq. ft. eating
establishment; a 5,080 sq. ft. eating establishment; and, a 5,000 sq. ft. eating
establishment.
A site area calculation was made for the project as a whole. Based on this calculation,
in relationship to the total square footage and location of the building footprints, required
amounts of parking, street yard landscaping and parking area landscaping were
determined. All "TX-121" Gateway District development standards have been satisfied.
Elevation drawings have not been submitted for the out-parcel buildings fronting SH
121. All of these buildings will meet the masonry requirements. The developer will
design the out-parcel retail buildings, identified as Buildings #13 and #17, to match the
architecture of the in-line retail structures. The other out-parcel buildings will be
designed by the end user.
Consistent with the approved Land Plan, issues related to the circulation within and the
access into the proposed development have been addressed as well. Locations for
drive approaches and easements for mutual and emergency access have been
established that will provide adequate internal circulation throughout for private and
public safety vehicles.
The applicant is seeking several separate approvals from the Texas Department of
Transportation (TxDOT) relating to SH 121, including: reduced speed limit from 50 to 40
mph on the northbound SH 121 frontage road between Mid-Cities Blvd. and Glade
Road; and relocate Glade Road exit ramp 600 feet to the south. Approvals of these two
requests will enable technical requirements to be met that will allow TxDOT to consider
approval of a request by the applicant for three drive approaches off the SH 121
frontage road between Centurion Way and Glade Road. The spacing of these
approaches also meets city requirements.
Two drive approaches will be constructed off of Centurion Way. Two drive approaches
will also be constructed off of Glade Road, with a right turn in and right turn out of the
first drive east off SH 121, and a free right turn lane between the two drive approaches.
Gateway Blvd. will be extended as a four lane divided thoroughfare from Centurion Way
to Glade Road, where a traffic signal will be installed at the intersection. There will be
three drive approaches off of Gateway Blvd. into the development.
Easements and/or designated areas have been established for a five foot sidewalk and
landscaped berms to be installed on the west side of Gateway Blvd. The retail
development sits approximately ten feet above the elevation of Gateway Blvd. near the
Gateway Blvd. and Glade Road intersection at the northwest portion of the
development. This elevation change gradually declines moving southward until the
grades match at the Gateway Blvd. and Centurion Drive intersection. Landscaping will
be installed either on top of retaining walls or berms that will satisfy the screening
requirements associated with the loading dock and related activities. A sidewalk/trail will
also be installed on the east side of Gateway Blvd. that will be between seven and ten
r.. feet in width.
City Council Minutes Page 7 of 16 February 14, 2006
New An off-site drainage system will be constructed as a retention/detention pond on the
east side of Gateway Blvd., located to the west of the Carlisle Pines and Woodbury
Forrest additions. Construction of Gateway Blvd., as well as the pond drainage facility,
will result in the loss of existing tree masses and other natural vegetation. The new
retention/detention pond area will be developed as an aesthetic amenity for the area
and neighborhood, incorporating over sixty new tree plantings, buffalo grass throughout
the basin, and an aeration system. The retention/detention pond will be subject to a
perpetual maintenance easement and will be maintained by the owners of The Shops at
Vineyard Village.
A utility layout has been developed for the entire site. Each individual pad site can be
serviced with water and sanitary sewer service. A drainage system has also been
designed for the entire development as well.
All landscape requirements have been met with over four acres of streetscape and
parking lot landscaping installed throughout the overall site. Consistent with the "TX-
121" development standards, the site also incorporates enhanced vehicular pavement
and enhanced pedestrian pavement.
ITEM NO. 7 RECEIVE PUBLIC INPUT REGARDING SHOPS AT VINEYARD
VILLAGE
Alex Horton, 806 Little Creek Drive, Euless, Texas, spoke in favor of the request.
John Hiser, 2611 Tallow Drive, Euless, Texas, asked if the planned development that
was approved back in 1998 for an assisted living facility and a park was no longer being
honored. He asked if the provisions in that PD, specifically the fences behind the
homes and the distance the development would be from the homes, was being changed
also. He said his other concerns were the loss of mature trees, night-time deliveries,
trucks parked for lengthy times, and pollution and noise from the trucks.
Director of Planning and Development Mike Collins stated there was an ordinance
previously approved affecting the subject property. The park mentioned would have
been required only if the assisted living center had been built. He also noted that Glen
Hinkley still owns the property south of the proposed retention/detention pond. He
noted that the distance between Lowe's to the residential fences is about 200 feet. With
respect to night-time delivers, Mr. Collins said it is staffs understanding that with the
type of operation being planned, deliveries will be made during the day rather than at
night.
City Manager Joe Hennig stated that the unsold Hinkley property is still technically
zoned for assisted living; however, he will not be able to develop as originally approved,
since he has disposed of several acres. He asked the Lowe's representative to explain
the center's operation and delivery.
Duane Blackmon, 5528 Old Billard Road, Tyler, stated that deliveries are received from
6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. They do not own the delivery trucks, but will have stocking crews
working during the night. The outside lights stay on for 30 minutes after closing and
City Council Minutes Page 8 of 16 February 14, 2006
then will turn to security lights. He noted that Gateway Blvd. will be lit and will provide
more light than what would come from the building.
Mayor Pro Tern Porterfield asked how the fence ordinance affects this property since
Gateway Blvd. is adjacent to the eastern edge of the property. He noted that the
retaining wall will be three feet high in places, which is not as high as a fence.
Director of Planning and Development Mike Collins noted that the fence ordinance does
not apply in this case, because there is a street between the commercial building and
the residential property. There will also be a combination of shrubs, berm and tree
plantings that will accomplish the same or better than a six foot masonry fence.
Council Member Miller stated that they will probably never be able to satisfy everyone,
but the development is bringing multiple uses that the city does not have. He noted that
the retention/detention pond is needed because all the drainage cannot be directed to
SH 121.
Director of Public Works Ron Young stated that the drainage cannot be forced to SH
121 without massive grading. He noted that Centurion Way has drainage installed, and
that regardless of what is constructed, a retention/detention pond would be required.
In response to a question about saving the older trees, Mr. Coker stated they will save
at least 12 and possibly more.

secretary. He stated that when he looked at the area near Glade Road and SH 121, he
had been opposed to the two apartment complexes, but they turned out to be good
apartments. He noted that there has been good quality housing added in the area. In
concern of the drainage runoff, he looked at the park and pond areas which are really
nice. When the proposed development is added, he believes it will be very nice when
everything is developed, and hopes everyone's needs will be satisfied and will look back
and see that it was a great win for the City of Euless. He stated that the hotel
