Mr. Ron Young, Director of Public Works and Engineering, stated there was a flood plan adjacent to Bear Creek Park and is the FEMA defined flood plain and would like to have that on the graphic and that it will be a drainage easement. Mr. Young stated staff was still tweaking the driveway off of Ash Lane to accommodate emergency and fire vehicles getting in and out of the complex. He stated these details would be worked out in the Engineering Plans. Mr. Bass stated staff had not received an acceptable lighting plan and was confident that the lighting plan would be received. He stated they would not get a building permit until staff had an acceptable plan. Mr. Young stated there were two conditions on the site plan. Vice Chairman McNeese stated the two conditions would be a drainage easement in the 100 year flood plain and an acceptable lighting plan. Mr. Scott Rodgers, Vice President of Development, First Worthing and Company, 8144 Walnut Hill Lane, Dallas, Texas, stated he was aware of the conditions for approval. He stated the lighting plan was underway and the drainage easement not being a problem because they would not build in the flood plain. Commissioner Sloan asked if he was okay with the fence requirements. Mr. Rodgers stated he was agreeing to but he was depending on staff to help him work out the existing wood fence on the property lines. Mr. Rodgers stated concerns with two fences being up and maintaining between the two. He stated he would do what was expected of him by putting up stone or stucco columns with a six feet iron fence between. Commissioner Sloan asked what kind of help would he need from the city, and Mr. Rodgers said, help in talking with the property owners because he could not ask them to take down the wood fence.
