Acting Chairman Biggs asked if staff had any comments to make before the public hearing opened. Mr. Bill Petty explained to the commission that a Specific Use Permit (SUP) already exists at the corner of F. M. 2170 and S.H 5, and explained that the request contains a provision to repeal the existing SUP. Mr. Petty discussed the flood plain, bridge, and right-of-way requirements. The bridge on S.H. 5 will have to be raised, and the State Highway Department has indicated that 20 Ft. of additional right-of-way will be needed. The North Texas Council of Governments has indicated that 11 Ft, of additional right-of-way will also be needed along F.M. 2170 for the purpose of dual left turn lanes. The right of way will be dedicated at the time of platting. A flood plain study will be required at the time of platting, and the flood plain will be determined. It may be possible that some of this property may be reclaimed. The dedication of the right-of-way and the possible dedication of the flood plain will not take place until the time of platting. Commissioner Garcia inquired about the existing flood plain. Mr. Petty said that, according to the City Engineer, a previous flood plain study on this property was inaccurate. Staff made the following recommendations: 1. If the site plan and SUP is approved, staff requests the flexibility to make minor adjustments to the site plan after the flood plain has been determined. 2. Dedication of right-of-way should be completed at the time of platting. 3. Additional development on Phase II not be approved until platting of the property in question. Commissioner Garcia asked if the commission is also being requested to approve a site plan in addition to a SUP.
