Public Hearing: Request for a. Specific
Use Permit and Site
Plan Approval for
Green Light Auto to
Allow the Continuance
of Gasoline Sales on
Property in PD -SC No. 5
Requestor: Ronnie Hollien (cont'd) (Agenda Item III -B)
and
Ordinance No. 784-3-87 (cont'd)
At Mr. Hollien's request, Bill Petty, Director of Community
Development, spoke before the Council on the use of the subject
property previously and how it will be enhanced for the proposed
request. 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.
