City Planner Kee presented. the staff report, fora: the Springbrook -Cypress Meadow Subdivision Phase Ih A presubmission conference was held on Wednesday, March 16, .1994. The extension of Longmire Drive' adjacent to this property will occur with this development. It will also include the bridge structure across the creek to tie .into the existing portion of Longmire Drive out to Barron Road. Eagle Avenue will be extended through this subdivision as a residential collector. .There will be no access.. to either Longmire Drive or Eagle Avenue. Longmire Drive will have..striped bike .lanes. Sidewalks will be placed in accordance with the Subdivision. Regulations. A variance to the turnaround requirement ,at the end of Longmire Drive is -being requested. Staff has no problem with the variance request because. driveway access to Eagle. and Longmire is not allowed. Commissioner Gribou moved to recommend approval of a preliminary plat for the Springbrook Phase II Subdivision with staff recommendations. and a variance granted to the ..turnaround requirement at the. end of Longmire Drive and Eagle Avenue. Commissioner Mariott seconded the motion which passed unopposed (6 - Q). AGENDA ITEM NO. 4: Consideration of a final E.TJ. plat for the Snug Harbor .Phase I Subdivision.. (94210) This item was withdrawn by the .applicant prior to the.Planning and .Zoning Commission meeting. AGENDA ITEM NO. 5: Consideration of a driv~evvay variance to relocate the existing access drive for Homestead Savings at 2553 Texas Avenue South. (94-801) Project Engineer McCully presented the staff report, and :stated that. the owner of the property is attempting to .remove a very serious traffic safety problem that is occurring with the existing driveway into the banking' facility. Vehicles are lining up to use the drive .through lanes which is backing up into the traffic Lanes of Texas Avenue. By relocating the driveway and thereby creating. more vehicle storage within the site itself, a potentially hazardous traffic .condition on Texas Avenue will be removed. Due to the limits of the existing parcel and surrounding driveways, there is no feasible way to meet the strict. application of the driveway location criteria. Based on the need to reduce the safety hazard of the current situation and the inability of.`the site to meet the strict requirements of the .ordinance, staff recommends approval of he variance request. Commissioner Gribou expressed :concern with the stacking of cars in the parking lot area. Project .Engineer McCully stated that other designs .were explored by the architect and .all of them would block parked cars, ..driving: aisles or store fronts. The center was developed with less parking required by current ordinances and cannot lose any parking spaces. Commissioner Herring moved to grant: a driveway variance to relocate the existing access drive for Homestead Savings at 2553 Texas Avenue South.. Commissioner Mariott seconded the motion which passed unopposed (6 - 0). AGENDA ITEM ND. 6• Consideration of a preliminary plat for the Two Iincoln Place Subdivision. (94305 City Planner .Kee presented the staff report and stated that since the :duplex zoning was denied by the City Council, the applicant has proposed a single family development with a total of twelve lots. An accessway will be provided along the rear of 'the .property.. to address the Commission, .City Council and staff concerns that each individual lot note. have driveway .access to Lincoln Avenue. Staff recommended approval of the preliminary plat, as submitted- P` & Z -Minutes ApriC 7, 1994 Page 2 Neighborhood resident .Steve Miller approached the Commission and :expressed concern with the overall .drainage flow in the area. The proposed lot 1 on the preliminary plat locates a home in a creek bed and could cause. future flooding downstream on his property. City. Engineer Pullen stated that the subject .development should not further complicate the drainage problems in'the area. At the time of final plat, :water carrying capacities will be taken into account in the design process to address .the drainage: of the site: Commissioner' Herring questioned staff as to the dedication of the .alley and .street lighting that was discussed at the second Presubmission Conference-meeting held on this :preliminary plat. City Planner Kee stated that the plat .presented. tonight was revised from. the second Presubmission Conference meeting o there would not be any variances requested. The developer plans to build the alley to City standards and` dedicate it to the City for public maintenance. Street lighting is not something that is typically installed in public alleys. "Engineer Roy Hammons approached the Commission and .offered to answer any questions pertaining to the subject preliminary plat. Commissioner Gribou moved to .recommend. approval of <the preliminary plat for the Two Lincoln Place Subdivision as presented. Commissioner Marion seconded the. motion which .passed unopposed (6 - 0). AGENDA ITEM NO. 7: Public .hearing to consiider a Zoning Ordinance amendment to define telecommunication towers and establish use. regulations thereof. and clarify freestanding signs allowed in a GB zoning district. (94-800). Staff Planner Dunn presented the ordinance .amendment and stated that the City has recently received requests for telecommunication development. sites. Telecommunication service providers and users are utilizing new technologies and upgrading facilities that require towers of varying heights to support necessary equipment. -The current Zoning, Ordinance does not address such new uses. With these new developments in .tower design,. there is concern .for the possible impact of such towers on .surrounding land uses. The Planning staff has recommended to amend several sections of the Zoning Ordinance 1638 to address telecommunications towers. First, .the term "telecommunications .towers" will be added to Section 2 definitions. Secondly, telecommunications towers will be permitted as conditional' uses in the ..following zoning districts: A-O, A-P, C-1, C-2 and M-1. The Commission will determine.: specific .restrictions on each tower by considering the height setback from. buildings on adjoining properties,. the overall construction of the tower and possible screening of the base of the tower. Requiring a conditional use permit will allow the Commission to place certain restrictions. on some of the more intensive towers on a case by case basis. Third, telecommunications towers will be allowed as a permitted use in M-2 districts. This ordinance amendment will also provide clarification of commercial signage in C-B districts. When the C-B district .was created,. signage provisions and restrictions were .overlooked. Under Section 12, Sign Regulations, freestanding commercial> signs and attached. signs. will. be allowed in C-B districts. In Table II Summary of Sgq Regulations, C-B will be added to the list of districts which allow traffic control signs, freestanding signs and low .profile signs. Commissioner Hall opened the public hearing. Seeing no one present to speak in favor of or in .opposition to the proposed ordinance amendment, he closed the public hearing: Commissioner Smith expressed concern for allowing telecommunication towers in A-O zones primarily because ..the majority of A-0 property is located south of town and could potentially be residential development.: .These towers could potentially. cause a problem .for future residential developments..
