Mr. Trainor made the motion to approve the absence requests. Mr. McLean seconded

Mr. McLean made the motion to approve the minutes. Mr. Trainor seconded the

AGENDA ITEM NO. 4: Discussion, consideration and possible action on the site
plan for USDA located at 1001 Holleman Drive East in Wolf Pen Creek Design
District. (04 -93)
Staff Planner Crissy Perez presented the staff report and stated that the applicant is
proposing to construct an office building in the Wolf Pen Creek Design District. The
proposed development is a 13,800 square foot building, which requires fifty -six (56)
parking spaces. The site development is proposing fifty -four (54) parking spaces. The
Design Review Board may waive parking space requirements in the Wolf Pen Creek
District if the development meets the goals of the master plan for the respective district.
The applicant has worked with staff to try and preserve as many existing large trees as
possible. Reducing the parking requirement by two spaces would allow for two large
mature trees to remain along Holleman Drive. Preserving as much natural vegetation
along the Wolf Pen Creek Master Plan, therefore staff is in support of this parking
reduction.
One of the principle concerns discussed was saving the exiting trees.
Also discussed was the screening of the dumpster. Mr. Curtis, the applicant stated that
the materials would be consistent with the building.
Mr. Benning questioned whether the parking lot would be locked. Phil Smith replied that
is a security concern for them. The intention is to leave the parking lot open during off
hours and rely on people to be nice. He ended by saying that he does not think there is an
intention yet to put signs out stating it is federal property & there is no trespassing. The
General Services Administration in Dallas/Ft. Worth will control that.
Mr. McLean asked about the lighting for the parking lot. Mr. Curtis replied that they are
using lighting that does comply with the ordinance.
Mr. Shafer talked about the right -of -way located next to the proposed building. He stated
there as been some talk in the past about having some kind of pedestrian connection. Mr.
Shafter asked if they would see that as a problem if sometime in the future it was
connected into the parking lot. Mr. Smith replied that he did not think there would be a
problem. Again that would be the General Services Administration and they might have
a wall placed there.
Mr. Benning made the motion to approve the site plan as presented with the addendum
that they will go out there before the bulldozers and fence off the property to protect the
exiting trees. Also approved is the variance for 54 parking spaces. Mr. Ware seconded
the motion, which passed unopposed (5 -0)
AGENDA ITEM NO. 5: Discussion, consideration and possible action on facade
and signage for USDA located at 1101 Holleman Drive East in Wolf Pen Creek
Design District. 04 -93
Mr. Curtis stated that the sign will be a monument type sign with brick and bronze color
lettering. There will be some colors that are dictated by USDA requirements. The sign
will be a one sided sign oriented towards Holleman. Mr. Shafer asked if the stone used
for the sign match the building stone. Mr. Smith stated yes.
Mr. Benning made the motion to accept the facade and sign as presented. Mr. Trainor
seconded the motion, which passed unopposed (5 -0).
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.: Discussion, consideration and possible action on facade
improvements to the Library located at 329 University Drive in Northgate. (04 -216)
Staff Planner Crissy Perez presented the staff report and stated that the applicant is
proposing to add a front entrance door in place of an existing window. The building
currently has one entrance door, one exit door, and two windows that protrude outward
from the building. The proposed door will be flush with the face of the building and is
proposed to have windows surrounding it to imitate the adjacent window. All material
will be the same on the existing doors and windows. The existing canopy over the
window will remain.
All colors will remain the same and there are no plans to repaint or repair any other
features on the exterior of the building.
Because the proposed door will not longer protrude off of the face of the building, the
applicant will need to extend the existing sidewalk to the new facade in that area.
Mr. Benning stated that any property owner wanting to embellish their property is a good
thing. He added that there is no historic value to this building.
Discussion ensued concerning the concrete by the doors. Mr. Shafer asked if the
sidewalk is going to reflect the brick pattern. Shawn Mitchell, the applicant, stated that
they are going to leave the sidewalk the same. Mr. Shafer stated that it would look better
to have the sidewalk follow through. Mr. Mitchell agreed and said their goal it to make it
look like they did not touch it.
Mr. Trainor made the motion to accept the door facing as presented and to have the
sidewalk pattern match the door entry. Mr. Benning seconded the motion, which
passed unopposed (5 -0).
AGENDA ITEM NO. 7: Discussion and possible action on future agenda items —
A Design Review Board Member may inquire about a subject for which notice has
not been given. A statement for specific factual information or the recitation of
existing policy may be given. Any deliberation shall be limited to a proposal to

STAFF REPORT

E -mail: mhitchcock @cstx.gov
For
ADVANCE AUTO PARTS (SDSP) - DESIGN DISTRICT REVIEW (PROJ)
Location: 204 Harvey Road
Applicant: Shawn Hill
Item Summary: The Advance Auto site was developed in 1989. Because of the
neglect of the required landscaping over the years, the recent removal of two canopy
trees brought the site to a level of noncompliance that necessitated the implementation
of a new landscape plan that meets today's ordinance.
Issues /Items for Review: The enclosed plan meets the technical requirements of
the UDO. The ordinance lists the following criteria for the DRB's consideration:
1. Where natural or existing topographic pattems contribute to beauty and utility of a
development, they shall be preserved and developed. Modification to topography will
be permitted where it contributes to good appearance.
2. Grades of walks, parking spaces, terraces, and other paved areas shall provide an
inviting and stable appearance for walking, and, if seating is provided, for sitting.
3. Landscape treatment shall be provided to enhance architectural features, strengthen
vistas and important axes, and provide shade.
4. Unity of design shall be achieved by repetition of certain plant varieties and other
materials and by correlation with adjacent developments.
5. Plant material shall be selected for interest in its structure, texture, and color, and for
its ultimate growth. Plants that are indigenous to the area and others that will be
hardy, harmonious to the design, and of good appearance shall be used.
6. In locations where plants will be susceptible to injury by pedestrian or motor traffic,
they shall be protected by appropriate curbs, tree guards, or other devices.
7. Parking areas and traffic ways shall be enhanced with landscaped spaces containing
trees or tree groupings.
8. Where building sites limit planting, the placement of trees in parkways or paved
areas is encouraged.
9. Screening of service yards and other places that tend to be unsightly shall be
accomplished by use of walls, fencing, planting, or combinations of these. Screening
shall be equally effective in winter and summer.
10. In areas where general planting will not prosper, other materials such as fences,
walls, and pavings of wood, brick, stone, gravel, and cobbles shall be used. Carefully
selected plants shall be combined with such materials where possible.
