Mr. Ware made the motion to approve the minutes. Mr. King seconded the motion, which passed unopposed (4-0). AGENDA ITEM NO.5: Discussion, consideration and possible action to on a concept plan for Allsize Storage, a mini storage complex, zoned PDD, at 3101 Texas Avenue South. (04-46). Staff Planner Jennifer Prochazka presented the staff report and stated that the proposal is for the development of a self-storage complex with an accessory office and living unit for on-site management. This is only a review of the items required by the "Conceptual PDD Site Plan Minimum Requirements". Approval of this Concept Plan does not imply site plan approval or approval of specific site elements shown on the plan. The purpose of the PDD at this location is to restore an agreement between the owners of the subject property and the adjacent Mile Drive neighborhood, and limiting uses next to an established neighborhood that may experience cut-through traffic as a result of development of this property. In 1987 a greenbelt and access easement were platted on this property as a requirement of the 1987 rezoning that came out of an agreement between the subject property owners and the Mile Drive residents. The greenbelt reserve and adjacent access easement serve as a 70-foot buffer from the residential property for future structures, including parking, on this site. The PDD zoning was approved with the understanding that this buffer would be retained. Staff recommends approval of the concept plan with the condition that the parking shown in the access easement is relocated to an approved area on site. Also, the gate will have to be positioned to allow for others to access the access easement without going through the gates. This access easement was platted as the sole access to the property located to the east of the subject property; this easement must remain clear for access to the adjacent property. Staff has concerns with the location of the currently platted access easement. The current location of the access easement does not meet the City's throat depth requirements and may pose a safety concern. An alternate access point should be considered with this concept plan. Mr. Benning made the motion to accept with staff recommendations and reduce the parking spaces by how the building is classified. Mr. King seconded the motion, which passed unopposed (4-0). . AGENDA ITEM NO.6: Discussion, consideration and possible action on proposed signs for A Ka Sa Ka Sake Bar, zoned NG-l and located at 113 College Main on the 2nd story. (04-43). Staff Planner Prochazka resented the staff report and stated that the applicant is proposing three new signs. The proposed signage will be attached for the A Ka Sa Ka Sake Bar located on the second story of the structure at the southwest corner of College Main and Patricia Street. The applicant is proposing 3-2'xl0' aluminum signs located on the west side (facing the Promenade), the north side (facing Patricia Street), the east side of the building (facing College Main). Kyoto Sushi, located on the bottom level ofthis building, has signage approved in 2002. Ms. Prochazka told the Board that the signs have already been put up and the applicant was not in attendance at the meeting should they have any questions. The Board discussed the signs. Without the applicant being present to answer questions it was decided to decline the application. Mr. King made the motion to decline the application and request that the applicant return with an alternative design with a possibility of the sign being vertical on the end of the building. Mr. Benning seconded the motion, which passed unopposed (4-0). AGENDA ITEM NO.7: Discussion and consideration of future agenda items. Update on sign regulations. AGENDA ITEM NO.8: Adjourn. Mr. Benning made the motion to adjourn. Mr. King seconded the motion, which passed unopposed (4-0). ~ Scott Shafer, Chairman - a~ Deborah Grace, Staff Assistant Mar 08 04 10:25a p.l City of College Station Absence Request Form For Elected and Appointed Officers Name Phillip Tabb Request Submitted on Date: March 5, 2004 T will not be in attendance at the meeting of March 12, 2004 for the reason(s) specified: (Date) Dr. Tabb will be in another meeting at this specific time and date. 11 . k CI* k Signature This request shall be submitted to Deborah Grace one week prior to meeting date.
