Using the site plan of the property, Mr. Petty reviewed the location of the existing building on the property, the location of the gasoline pump island, the new layout for parking spaces, the 20' public access and fire lane easement, the parking for compact cars only, and the landscaping in the front of the property on the street right-of-way and the area shown for a chain link fence with screening shrubbery on the property at the back and side to provide screening from the high school property as well as to eliminate access. Mr. Petty explained about the parking space requirements, the fire lane easement and the need to designate certain parking spaces for compact cars only. Mr. Petty also advised the Council of another important consideration on this property. Mr. Petty stated that the property owner has agreed to dedicate by separate instrument the additional 10 feet of right-of-way for the eventual reconstruction of F.M. 2170. He stated that the city staff recommends that the City Council consider as part of their action that no building permit be issued on this project until the instruments dedicating the right-of-way and easements have been filed in the deed records of Collin County. The Council discussed with city staff who suggested the proposed chain link fence and shrubbery as a screen to the high school property and were advised that it was the preference of the school district superintendent. The Council continued dis- cussion on why the fire lane was not required to be around the entire building, if the landscaped areas were going to be sprinklered, why there were notations on the site plan that stated there would be patching made in the parking lot asphalt pavement and if that was a requirement of the city, and why there was so much parking lot area for this business. Mayor Rodenbaugh opened the public hearing. No one appeared to speak either for or against this request. Mayor Rodenbaugh closed the public hearing. The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their regular meeting held on February 12, 1987, recommended to the City Council approval of the request with the stipulation that prior to the adoption of the ordinance approving this action, the city should be provided with a filed copy of the dedication for the 10 foot right-of-way along F.M. 2170. r The Council discussed that since there is such a large �r parking lot for this business, they did not want to see people trying to work on their cars in that parking lot and they would like to see the property owner deter that type of thing. The Council also discussed the maintaining of the landscaping particularly the shrubbery along the chain link fence and how it would be watered since Mr. Hollien did not plan to sprinkler the property.
