LAND; GENERALLY IOC ATEI3 1400 FEET SOUTH OF GLADE ROAD ON THE EAST SIDE

Mr. Dick Calvert, ..al.vert ,; Company Architects, informed the Com-
mis si.on that tiie preliminary plat had been approved by the City
Council on june. 26, 1990I The finals "?at. request is the 4, )l
acres fronting on S.H. 121. The remainder of prcperty is not proposed
for development at this time,
Fir. Calvert explained that the access easements requested by the
Planning & Zoning Commission on the preliminary plat had beer. pre_.
aided. Additionally, "Letters of Waiver" from the adjaae•nt property
owners indicating their agreement to locate the driveway radius
returns in front t of their property have been executed. The City has
received tl;:.£- agreement's from the property owners an the north and the
"Letter of Waiver" from property ;uwnsrs on the south were forthcoming,
Mr. Owens expressed. concern to the use of asphalt in place of concrete
for the access easements, but determined that the gross section of the

CUNSIDERATIOUN OF SIR`€? PI AN FOR AL-KO SOUTHWEST ADDITION
Mr. Dick 'Calvert, Calvert 6: Company Architects, presented the site
plan for AI.--K,_3 Southwest, as required in all l:! Zoning Districts. Mr.
Calvert informed the commission that the City Council merti.oned that
the property to the north carries a zoning; of CUD for multi-family; so
a screening fence would be required between the two differing zoning
PlanD%5 & Zonin Commission, July 34 1990, Page Four
categories. ?fir. Calvert requested he C`.au-iiiission defer the . e i-ir
ment of the screening fence until residential development occurs on
the adjacent property. Al-Ko outhwesf has no problem erevoin< a
screening fence once this property develops, (for their liability
reasons as well as City requirements) ; however, they believe it is an
unnecessary expense at this time.
Mr. Tyson made _3 motion to approve the site plan for F1 -Ko Southwest,
as presented, with t?-}i:e stipulation that the required screening "fence
be erected at the time = residential development occurs adjacent to
this property.

SPECIFIC USE PERMIT REQUEST BY DIMABLE SPECIALISTS, INC., PDR A
SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR INDOOR CUMMERCI.AL AMUSEMENT; GENERALLY LOCATKD
AT 100 E. MIDWAY DIVE
Mr. Little, for Durable Specialist, Inc. . explained this re i,est is
for an indoor soccer facility which will be rented to leagues to
e:. nduc t indoor games and tournaments. Mr. :little stated that at he-
visi.tUd a similar facility in Addison and observed three teams playing
and only three cars in the parking lot. Most of the tra.f..f.ic would be
parents dropping off and picking up the players.
The i:uil.di.:zg will be an attractive and h.arrre:nious addition to the
area; a seven foot 17 ) screening fence will be provided between the
building and the residential ;neighborhood. to the east. Ample light ing
would be provided at a height lower than the fence to avoid inter-
ference with the neighborhood.
Chairman Ingram called for additional proponents.
€'here being none, Chairman Ingram called for any opponents.
Mr. `t'roy Manuel, 413 Rambling Lane (Lot. 1, Block C), stated he was not
opposed to the use or the zoning, but wanted the City to be aware of
problems with the storm drainage in this area. He was concerned that.
with another building ing going in, the drainage problem will worsen; his
property has flooded numerous times from this drainage problem. He
also scanted to know the hours of operation, if an ri,asement would be
provided to keep patrons from standing on cars in this parking list and
coming over his fence and into his pawl, and hose much traffic was
anticipated.
Ms. Maggie Schill.;.ngforu, 202 Rambling Lane (Lot 6, Block , stated
she was not opposed to the zoning or this type of recreational facil--
i.t.y. Her concerns were with the parking tut being on this cast: side
of the building. She preferred to see the lay-out "flipped," so the
parking lot would be on the west side of the building, not adjacent to
the residents. Additionally, she .believed the wilding would be a
noise buffer, more ae sthetically :leasing, and would maintain a
consistency with the other businesses in this area ( _.e. , parking in
front of building).
Mr. Wayne Vice, 409 Rambling Lane, and Mr. Mike Ballard, 405 RaFttiing
Lane, both expressed concern with the parking facility o . the Fast
side of the building and requested the Commission consider `(flipping"
the b-uilding and parking arrangement on the site plan prior to ap-
proval.
:sir. Francisco Fuenzalida, 201 Primrose, expressed concern with pos-
sible liquor sales, the company's longevity, etc. , stating he needed
to know more abort the company.
There were no other opponents to be heard. qtr. Little returnee;, to the
podium to address s the items of concern.

if that is what would make the residents happy.
Mr. Little. stated that the drainage pr;:)Iblem Mr. Manuel is exp •rl-encing
should be eliminated entirely once the screening fe=nce is e-rected.
Mr. Little stated that he did not know the 1.1c'urs of operati. n the

Th.c. riajority of the -onurtission favored an foot wall. Mr.

Plannin & Zoning omission Jul 3 1.990 Page Seven
Mr. Tyler. explained that the applicant was requesting a waiver to some
of the submittal requirements which the commission ;..oald recon111"end if
they felt they were warranted for this use.
The C:k73T3miss:.::n had concern with egress of the facility. `here is no
median cut to make left turns and one has not been proposed. `t°s'hen
leaving the `acility traffic wil.l go right to the first street and
make a "u-Turn" to get back to main Street. The Commission believes
that it should be the responsibility of the developer toper to make a median
cut to the left.
Chairman ing am suggested tabling the Specific Use Permit Request at
this time,, let ;fir. Little redesign the site :Plan: in accordance with
the issues and concerns expressed, and resubmit in two weeks, and
still be able to reach City Council. at the nacre time as previously
anticipated.
Mr. Owens was interested in the residents thoughts o:i the redesign
after the opposing issues had been discussed.
Mr. Balsinger ;£tad_ a notion to approve t`•'ie'- request for a Specific Use
Permit en Lot 27E-R, Block r°, of the Somerset Place Addition, as
presented subject ect to specific lighting detail, and a screening wal.l of
right feet which would extend from the southeast corner 261 westerly.
The motion died for lack of a second.
Mr. Owens stated be could not vote on is motion -tint. l lie knew the
opporu_nts feelings after everything that had been dism sea this
evening,
Chairman Ingram .reiterated to the audience that if the site plan were
"flipped" there would be 15' between the building and the scree.ning
fence, an area that would be difficult to police, acid hard to Keep
trash and debris out of.
Ch- ihcta.n ingram asked the people in the audience to raises their hands
if they were in favor of moving the building to the eastern part of
the property and the parking to the western portion of the property.
Everyone raised there h=inds.
Mr. Owens made a :notion to table t ds request until the site plan was
drawn showing the building on the eastern portion of the property and
the parking to the wi?:zt, and that -..t he submitted to 'City staff in
appropriate time for their review prior to the next Planning S Zoning
