PS 97-20 REQUEST OF H & M FOOD SYSTEMS COMPANY FOR A REPLA T OF LOT AR, BLOCK 3, INDUSTRIAL PARK ADDITION (LOCATED AT 6350 BROWNING COURT) TABLED Mr. Wood stated that due to a possible conflict of interest he would be abstaining from discussion and voting of this item. Mr. LeBaron explained that there are several issues associated with this replat. The applicant is requesting a waiver on the sidewalk requirement. Additionally, the applicant is requesting to sign a covenant for the future cost of a required water line, and asking for extended time on making necessary drainage improvements. There was much discussion regarding the drainage of this property. Mr. Jack Dill, Gideon Toal Architects, was asked to explain the need for a sixty foot clear zone on the south side of the building. Mr. Dill explained that this is a building code issue for a building of this type of construction and this large of square footage's. The sixty foot clear zone allows them to have a different type of fire code rating and reduces the construction cost of the building. Without the clear zone the building would have to have more costly construction. H & M Foods has a pending contract to purchase the adjacent property. Chairman Barfield explained that while the Planning & Zoning Commission understands that time is of the essence for H & M Foods, however, they have two unresolved issues associated with this replat. Mr. Barfield stated that he was uncomfortable moving on with this replat with the issue of drainage going to the west and how it effects that property and the lack of a water line and fire hydrant on the back side of the building. Mr. Dill stated that they have worked very closely with the City and would like to proceed with construction and they would have all unresolved issues resolved before a Certificate of Occupancy is issued. Mr. Barfield asked Mr. Dill if the replat were tabled for two weeks could the issues be resolved in that time period. Mr. Dill stated he would do what ever it would take to keep the construction project on schedule. Mr. Davis asked if construction plans for permits had been submitted. Mr. Dill stated that plans had been submitted in phases and that final plans had been filed with the city two weeks ago. Mr. LeBaron stated that a building permit for the next phase of the project could be issued during the next week if the platting issues were resolved. Mr. Davis stated that nobody had contacted the Star Telegram about an easement for looping the water line. He stated that H & M Foods has the option of either signing a covenant, which may take them 60 to 90 days to get done. However, if the applicant is in a hurry to get this replat done, then their legal department should be able to expedite it. Mr. Davis stated that this is a simple covenant that this city has done with numerous developers in the past. Mr. Davis stated that the water line should either be installed or the applicant should sign a covenant for the future costs of the line. Mr. Davis stated two weeks shouldn't kill this project. Mr. Dill stated that a drainage study had been completed and that a design for drainage improvements will be forthcoming. Mr. Davis asked if the drainage study stated that drainage improvements weren't necessary. Mr. Dill stated that the drainage study showed the amount of drainage runoff. Mr. Dill stated that he thought the drainage could be sheet- flowed on to the adjacent property, but the adjacent property owner wouldn't provide a letter accepting the drainage sheet flow. Mr. Davis asked staff if permission from the adjacent property owner had been received to accept the off-site drainage. Mr. LeBaron stated no permission had been received. Mr. Davis also asked staff if adequate drainage improvements had been designed and presented to the city to take care of the drainage off this property. Mr. LeBaron replied no. Mr. Davis made a motion to table PS 97-20 for two weeks, allowing the applicant time to obtain a water line easement from the Star Telegram to put the water line in or having a covenant prepared and presented to P & Z for the water line and fire hydrant improvements and, additionally that the applicant meet the subdivision rules and regulations regarding drainage; either get permission for the off-site drainage or design and build the necessary drainage improvements.
