for pedestrians between Phase 7-A and 7-13 was discussed during the Preliminary Plat stage. It was
decided that a walkway will connect these two subdivisions by going south from 7-A through the park
and to the west into 7-B. Chairman Mooney clarified that the City's Ordinance allows for the
connectivity requirement in this situation. Mr. Thompson stated that these requirements are found in
Section 8-J.
Mike McClure, Engineer, clarified that the access easement is what is needed for the subdivision. He

AGENDA ITEM NO. 6: Discussion, consideration, and possible action on Site changes for
Fazoli's restaurant located at 400 Harvey Road in the Wolf Pen Creek Corridor. (01-133)
Staff Planner Hitchcock presented the staff report. She stated that Staff and the Design Review Board
(DRB) recommend approval of the revised site plan including the signage. The site plan for this
property was originally approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) with Staff and DRB
recommendations and conditions in May 2000. Construction began in March 2001. In the course of
site inspections Staff discovered that multiple changes had been made to the site. Staff cannot issue a
Certificate of Occupancy (CO) for a site if it does not comply with the approved plan. In an effort to
work with the applicant, the City granted a 60-day Temporary CO to allow for the applicant to obtain
the necessary approvals. The Temporary CO expires Monday, August 6, 2001. The changes made to
the site include a 2-foot sidewalk added along the drive-through area. The exit of the drive-through
was expanded from 12 feet to 22 feet in width, a sidewalk was added to the southern service door to
the drive-through, and there was a change to the proposed brick paved area to a concrete paving
treatment. Also there was a request by the applicant to spell out Fazoli's in greenery on one of the
