Graduate Engineer Thompson presented the Staff Report. Mr. Thompson explained that connectivity
for pedestrians between Phase 7 -A and 7 -13 was discussed during the Preliminary Plat stage. It was

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

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

AGENDA ITEM NO. 6 : Consideration of a Master Development Plan for KTH Commercial
Addition located at 4250 State Highway 6 South on 33.11 acres. (01 -106)
Staff Planner Hitchcock presented the staff report. Staff recommends a variance to the requirement of
the Subdivision Regulations that all owners of the parent tract participate in the platting process, and
approval of the master development plan with Staff Review Comments #4.
The subject property is located on Highway 6 between the Shenandoah and South Oaks
neighborhoods, but is abutted by unplatted, undeveloped land. The subject property was zoned C -1
General Commercial and M -1 Planned Industrial in 1984. Surrounding properties are zoned R -1
Single Family Residential and A -O Agricultural Open.
The purpose of this master development plan is to eventually final plat Lot 1 for legal subdivision and
development of a church. The plan indicates that although vacant, the commercial and industrial
properties will remain available for such land uses. All owners of the parent tract have been contacted
about the plan, but the K.S. Moss Capital Corp. has declined to participate. Staff met with this
property owner (after the applicant met with her) to discuss the implications of not participating in the
platting process. The adjoining property owner still chose not to participate. The applicant has
submitted a letter requesting a variance to the Subdivision Regulations to proceed with the planning
process without the other landowner of the parent tract.
The Land Use Plan shows this area to be Single Family Residential Medium Density (3 -6 dwelling
units /acre). Although the zoning districts of this plan.do not allow residential use, they are existing
and were so before the current comprehensive plan was adopted.
The property has frontage on Highway 6, a Freeway and Expressway on Thoroughfare Plan. The plan
also shows a future major collector running along the rear of the property. This road will run from the
existing Southern Plantation Road through the proposed Crowley development to Greens Prairie Road
