AGENDA ITEM NO. 3: Establishment of parking requirement for a new location for Signs Now at 305 Marion Pugh. (98-810) Senior Planner McCully explained that the site location .came before the Commission as the site of the .proposed Traditions Night. Club in the past. Signs Now will use this building for selling and manufacturing/assembly of signs. -She stated that at the .last Commission meeting, parking guidelines for manufacturing. were established at one space per employee. Signs Now plans to initially have 10 employees. There is also 1:575 square feet of office space in the building. The Zoning Ordinance requirement .for office space is 1 per 250. square feet. This office area would therefore be required 6 parking spaces. Combining these numbers the requirement would be 16 parking spaces for tine business. Only one handicap space would be required. The Commission discussed whether the total parking would be enough for the proposed uses, especially if retail is also :added. City Planner Kee replied that this office area could be retail as well because the parking requirement is the same. Ms. McCully responded that any increase in employees could be handled through codeenforcement if needed. Commissioner Garner moved to set the requirement for this request at 16 spaces. Commissioner Parker seconded the motion which passed unopposed (5-0). AGENDA ITEM NO. 4: Consideration of a Final Plat (Replat) for the Latour Subdivision ,Lot 1 located at the .southeast corner of the intersection of Harvey Road and George Bush Drive .East. (98-222) Assistant City .Engineer Morgan presented the staff report and `stated that the final plat for this subdivision was approved. in early 1.996.. This plat contained a single lot, Lot 1, along with a reserve tract, a small portion of future: Kyle Street right-of--way dedication and a Wolf Pen Creek dedication area. This particular lot is located on Harvey Road near: Taco. Bell.. The .portion of George Bush Drive East extension is .located within the access easement that was dedicated with this plat. The purpose of the replat is to .take this single lot and subdivide it into 2 lots approximately 2 acres each. Lot lA currently contains the Office Max development and Lot 2A is currently undeveloped. With this replat, there are some discrepancies as to the correct location of the floodway line. The original. survey and the. survey done with this replat do not.'. agree on the. floodway location. Staff worked' with the original surveyor and the replat. surveyor to understand the differences between the two interpretations. It was discovered that the original surveyor based his information on the 1988 Nathan D. Maier Study which was done for the City as part of the Wolf Pen Creek Corridor Study. The line shown on the replat is based on the 1992 FEMA FIRM maps .which are the regulatory maps. The item.. has not been resolved yet but .they are getting close to a resolution. Ms. Morgan explained that in the 1992 FIRM maps, FEMA noted that they had used the Nathan D. Maier Study to prepare the maps.. The assumption was. made. that the floodway line in thee. NDM study was actually on the FIRM maps which is not the case. Staff has reason to believe hat there may be an error in the FIRM maps for this particular location.. This error may be caused by a graphical misinterpretation. Staff has contacted FEMA regarding this issue. FEMA said that this replat could be approved from the floodplain P&Z~nutes July 16, 1998 Page ~~ of8 ~. management standpoint with the floodway line that runs through OiFice Max (as shown on the original plat). Staff would have to make sure that if this building is ever expanded or if any substantial damage occurred to it for any reason (fire, flood, or wind), mitigation .efforts would have to .correct any area of the building within the floodway. Staff felt certain that this would not happen. Ms. Morgan said that she believes this is a result from a graphical discrepancy on the FEMA map. The Developer will prepare and Staff will forward a letter of map amendment to FEMA to correct this situation, if this is what is found to be creating the problem. Staff recommended approval of the replat with the condition that all necessary paperwork be forwarded to FEMA for a Letter of Map Amendment and this issue .resolved prior to filing the replat. Commissioner Mooney moved: to approve. the replat with staff conditions.. Commissioner Maloney seconded the motion which passed unopposed (5-0). AGENDA ITEM NO. S: Consideration of a Final Plat of the Devonshire Phase 1-A Subdivision, consisting of 0.5023 acres, being subdivided into 7non-buildable parcels. (98-226) Road. Graduate Engineer Kaspar presented the staff report and stated that the City Council recently approved the abandonment of North Graham Road right-of--way .from Wellborn to Victoria Avenue. That abandonment action merely abandoned the roadway and its use as a public roadway but did not express who would now own the property that was abandoned. For the most part the property will be properly platted with subsequent phases of the Edelweiss Subdivision, however this small' portion of North Graham right-of--way: adjacent to the Devonshire Subdivision would have been left as a remainder for the adjacent property owners to survey and own by metes and bounds. With this plat this. property is "cleanly" subdivided and recorded to aid in the review and retrieval of property information. Each of these lot owners in Devonshire will now own a lot and. a corresponding parcel, (i.e. Lot 1 and Parcel 1A). Because these ..parcels do not meet. the minimum lot dimensions, have public access, or utilities, they cannot be sold off as .individual stand alone lots. As such they are noted as non-buildable lots on the plat. This plat; also retains the necessary easements for those pieces of infi-astructure that 'are existing and used o be contained within the North Graham Road right-of--way. Staff recommended approval of the plat as submitted. Commissi®ner Maloney moved to approve the .plat as submitted. Commissioner Garner seconded the motion which passed unopposed (5-0). AGENDA ITEM NO. 6: Reconsideration of a Master. Development Plan for the Steeplechase Subdivision to be located along the east side of Wellborn Road, .South of FM 2818 and adjacent to Southwood Valley Sections 23 & 24D. (98-311) City .Planner Kee explained that .the proposed subdivision is located along the east side of Wellborn Road, south of FM 2818 and adjacent to Southwood Valley Sections 23 and 24D. This would be infill development containing 64 acres. .The applicant is proposing 80 single family lots, 125 duplex lots, a small reserve. tract for future. residential development, 3 acres of commercial development fronting Wellborn Road, 7.23 acres of common space devoted partially. to storm water management on the north side of the development and a small area for detention of the east side.
