AGENDA ITEM NO. 5: Establish parking for a proposed driving range to be located
on the southeast corner of the intersection of F.M. 2818 and F.M. 2154. (95-800)
Staff Planner Kuenzel presented the proposed golf driving range project to the Commission. Staff
has in the past researched similar uses in several Texas cities but found no parking ratio that could
be recommended. Studies such as those found in the ITE handbook were inadequate for the
proposed use. The applicant is proposing to construct thirty-five parking spaces to serve the
maximum number of employees and customers at any one period of time. The applicant
determined that this number of spaces with certain measurement criteria based on the size of the
tee box and advice from other golfing range owners in Texas. Due to the lack of adequate studies
available, we can not be sure that this will accommodate all of the parking demand that will be
generated. Staff has encouraged the applicant to supply numbers in support of is proposal.
Applicant Donny Glanton approached the Commission and stated that he is proposing thirty-six
spaces instead of thirty-five for design reasons. He stated that a maximum of two employee
parking spaces will be required leaving the remaining thirty-four spaces for customers. The
proposed tee box is approximately 450 yards long and on average, a golfer will take up three and
a half yards which would allow approximately forty-three golfers. In visiting with operators of
other driving ranges in Richardson and Midland, forty-three parking spaces is excessive. Mr.
Glanton informed the Commission that he has driven by the existing driving range on the East
Bypass several times and he has never seen more than twenty-five cars there.
Commissioner Lightfoot moved to allow the operation of the driving range as presented with the
proposed thirty-six parking spaces. Commissioner Smith seconded the motion which passed
• unopposed (5 - 0).
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6: Other business.
Commissioner Hall questioned staff regarding the drainage calculations presented for agenda item
number three that was withdrawn from the agenda.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 7: Adjourn.
Commissioner Smith moved to adjourn the meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Commissioner Lightfoot seconded the motion which passed unopposed (5 - 0).
