SUP 2004-01 PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM KWIK INDUSTRIES INC. FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT (SUP) FOR AN AUTOMATIC CAR WASH FACILITY TO BE LOCATED IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE EXISTING LUBE & TUNE FACILITY LOCATED AT 7425 DAVIS BLVD. (0.597 ACRES). APPROVED Mr. Green stated that this is an existing Kwik Kar Lube & Tune and the applicant wishes to add a car wash. The current zoning is "C1" Commercial and to have a car wash in "C1 requires a special use permit according to the Zoning Ordinance. The car wash will be an expansion of the existing building and the applicant is using the same type of masonry and architecture as the existing building. There will be no changes to the access to the property. There are existing shrubs along the Davis Blvd. frontage but with the expansion the applicant will be required to add street trees. The applicant has chosen to add a Cedar Elm and two Crepe Myrtles. Although not required, the applicant will add landscaping between this property and the adjacent gasoline station and McDonalds. Staff has reviewed this site design and a memo from Public Works states that all items have been met. Staff recommends approval. Mr. Bowen asked if there was any adjacent residential. Mr. Green explained that the closest residential is quite a bit to the west. There are duplexes across Davis Blvd., but none adjacent to the applicant's property. Chairman Davis opened the public hearing and asked the applicant to come forward. The applicant, Eric Smith, 4725 Nail Rd., Dallas, stated that he is available for any questions. Mr. Shiflet asked if the two wall pack lights that will be added to the car wash will match the existing wall pack lights of the existing building. The applicant stated that they will be the same type and they will be shielded from adjacent property. As there were no others wishing to speak for or against this case, the Chairman closed the Public Hearing and called for a motion. Mr. Shiflet, seconded by Mr. Schopper, motioned to approve SUP 2004-01. The motion was approved unanimously (7-0). 6. SP 2004-02 CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST BY CLASSIC CONCEPTS DEVELOPMENT FOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL OF A PROPOSED OFFICE BUILDING ON LOT 3, BLOCK 1, COUNTRY PLACE ESTATES, LOCATED IN THE 7900 BLOCK OF DAVIS BOULEVARD (.5401 ACRES). APPROVED Page 2 of 5; 09/16/04 P & Z Minutes Mr. Green stated this is a fairly new retail subdivision. A couple of months ago, the Planning & Zoning Commission reviewed a site design for an office building on Lot 2. This request is for another office building on Lot 3. Site plan review is necessary for this commercial development because there is residential adjacency along the eastern boundary. This building will be very similar to the existing office building on Lot 2. There will be a residential-type look to the building, with all masonry - stone and brick on all facades. This property is heavily treed and the applicant is making judicious use of some of the existing trees along the frontage and through and around the building. The applicant will add trees on the back to meet the 15-ft landscape buffer. There will be an extension of the 6-ft. masonry wall approved for Lot 2. Staff has reviewed the plans and Public Works comments state that all criteria have been met. Staff recommends approval of the request. The Chairman asked for any questions or comments. Mr. Sapp commented that Mr. Phifer "has always done a tremendous job in always going beyond the standards and so forth for the City and this development is a real credit to our City. I appreciate that effort." There were no other comments or questions and the Chairman called for a motion. Mr. Bowen, seconded by Mr. Schopper, motioned to approve SP 2004-02. The motion was approved unanimously (7-0). 7. FP 2004-03 CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM KENT COOLEY TO APPROVE THE FINAL PLAT OF LOT 1, BLOCK 1 COOLEY ADDITION LOCATED AT 8720 AMUNDSON (0.996 ACRES). APPROVED The Planning & Zoning Commission saw this property last month when the applicant brought it forward as a final plat, dividing the property into two lots. Since that time and prior to taking the final plat to City Council, the applicant ran into design issues with the County in regard to the septic system the applicant was going to install. The applicant did not wish to adhere to the design requirements of the County so he reworked the final plat and is combining the two lots into one lot. Staff has reviewed the situation. All criteria have been met and staff recommends approval of the plat. There were no questions or comments and the Chairman called for a motion. Ms. Cole, seconded by Mr. Schopper, motioned to approve FP 2004-03. The motion was approved unanimously (7-0). Page 3 of 5; 09/16/04 P & Z Minutes 8.

APPROVED Mr. Green explained that the Planning & Zoning Commission recently approved a rezoning request to "CS" Commercial for this property. The Commission also approved a preliminary plat of six lots for this property. This request is to final plat Lots 1 and 2 of those six lots. Staff has reviewed this case and Public Works memo states that all criteria have been met. Staff recommends approval of the plat. The Chairman asked for any questions or comments. There were none and the Chairman called for a motion. Mr. Wood, seconded by Mr. Schopper, motioned to approve FP 2004-04. The motion was approved unanimously (7-0). 9.

(12.625 ACRES). APPROVED Mr. Green explained that this request involves some very minor changes in some of the survey calls along the western and southern property lines of Lot 4R. Staff has reviewed the final plat and Public Works comments note that all issues have been resolved and staff recommends approval. The Chairman asked for any questions or comments.
