Public Hearing
Allen Heights Shopping Center (Cont.)
Bill Petty addressed the Commission on issues regarding
this request. The concept of design does meet City standards
There will be some rework done on the chanellization to the
drainage ditch down to F.M. 2170. Funds will need to be
escrowed at the time of platting for the storm drainage.
When F.M. 2170 is out in, the funds will be used. Also, to
the east of the property are existing grave sites. Mr. Beasley
has made plans to move the graves to Turrentine Jackson
Funeral Home. The grave sites fall within the 10 feet of additional
right-of-way needed for the development of F.M. 2170.
The grave site issue was previously taken to the City
Council for direction. Consensus of the Council was that Mr.
Beasley was in deed doing the right thing by moving the grave
sites.
Commissioner Wilson pointed out that the parking spaces
shown on the site plan are less than required by the Comprehensive
Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Rabe stated that there are 198 parking
spaces. Bill Petty responded by stating that 215 parking
spaces are required for a building with 39,160 sq. ft. of leasable
area.
Commission also stated that the trash dumpsters will need
to be screened, and there will need to be a specific use permit
for the proposed gasoline sales. It was also addressed that
an additional dumpster will be needed for the retail space on the
outside parcel.
Mr. Rabe requested that the Commission approve the site
plan with the provision that the additional parking spaces will
be added. Mr. Petty told the proponent that the Commission could
not act on an assumed site plan.
MOTION: Upon a motion by Commissioner Garcia and a second
by Commissioner Braun, the Commission voted 6-0 to
table Agenda Item No. VI. The motion carried.
Commission also told Mr. Rabe that the proposed 6 foot
brick fence will need to be 8 feet.
