PLAN
Consider a recommendation regarding a request for a site plan for retail
proposed to be located on A. Huitt Survey, Tract 5G, at 201 S. Industrial
Blvd.
Mr. Bo Bass, Director of Planning and Development, gave a brief overview of this case.
He stated this site plan was for Office Depot on a 2.78 acre site. He stated they were
proposing a 21,674 square feet building. He stated it exceeds the landscape standards
and there are three concerns that staff would like to have as conditions to the approval.
1. Obtain variance request from ZBA for the parking requirements 109 parking spaces
are required and only 107 are provided, 2. Achieve Home Depot share signage, 3.
Agreement with Home Depot to share off-site access and easements for maneuvering
large vehicles for loading dock area. He stated staff recommended approval.
Mr. Ron Young, City Engineer, stated that he received a letter indemnifying the City for
any claims in the area noted as a flood plain since the City will not allow them to fill in
the flood plain. By sharing the parking area with Home Depot, they should have
adequate parking available and he feels it is a workable solution for this site.

parking spaces instead of just 2 in order to save the tree.
