The purpose of this amendment is to incorporate outdoor food and retail kiosks as a permitted use in the
existing PD On November I, 2011 this case went before the Commission At that time the applicant
proposed to locate a maximum of four (4) food and/or retail kiosks at the northwest comer of the site (in
front of the food court) and a maximum of two (2) food and/or retail kiosks at the northeast corner of the
site; totaling a maximum of six (6) kiosks
The request was tabled at the November 1, 2011 P&Z meeting to allow the applicant time to submit more
detailed exhibits for the Commission to review Since this meeting the applicant has submitted a revised
request to locate a maximum of four (4) retail kiosks at the northwest corner of the site and a maximum of
two (2) food kiosks at the northeast comer of the site Per the request of the Commission, scaled
drawings have also been provided by the applicant which represent the size of the kiosks and pedestrian
circulation on site
The proposed retail kiosk is approximately 5ft x 5ft and stands 9 feet tall The building material for the
kiosk is coated plywood with a stone countertop. The kiosk has wheels underneath for mobility The
proposed food kiosk is approximately, 411 x 6 5 ft and stands 4 5 feet tall. The food kiosk is made of
stainless steel with an attached metal propane tank and wheels for mobility Two sides of the kiosk are
designed with counter space for condiments and toppings
Staff supports the food kiosks However, staff does not support the retail kiosks due to concerns with
visual clutter and impacts on pedestrian flow in front of the food court Long term maintenance of the
retail kiosks was an additional concern
Chairman Wendland stated that the Public Hearing will not be opened at this meeting because there were
no members from the public coming forward at the previous meeting. Chairman Wern land asked for
questions from the Commission.
Theresa Barringer, Regional Vice President of Allen Premium Outlets, applicant, came forward to answer
the Commission's questions.
2"d Vice Chair Mangrum inquired about how the retail items would be secured at night Ms. Barringer
clarified that the retail kiosk has a roll down gate that locks
Commissioner Platt asked the applicant why the northeast comer was not considered for the retail kiosks
due to fewer tables and seating, as opposed to the northwest corner. Ms. Barringer explained that the
retail kiosk would get more exposure by the food court. She also stated she would be comfortable only
having two retail kiosks in the northwest corner.
1" Vice Chair Cocking asked for clarification regarding the scaled drawings that were provided by the
applicant He inquired about the additional roof dimension not being shown on the graphic. He stated his
concern of four kiosks impeding the footpath. Ms. Barringer reiterated that the roof dimension would not
be impeding traffic Flow because of the height of the roo0ine.
I" Vice Chair Cocking asked an additional question about the applicant's change of request. Ms.
McLeod explained that previously, the applicant had asked for four food and/or retail kiosks in the
northwest corner and two food/and or retail kiosks in the northeast corner of the site. She continued by
stating that the new request was to have a maximum of four retail kiosks in the northwest comer and two
food kiosks in the northeast corner of the site.
Commissioner Kizer stated that he had no problem with this request because this is a mall and it happens
to be outdoors. Malls are always crowded and this request would not affect neighbors adjacent to the site.
Since the kiosks are located inside of the site, he has no problem with the applicant's request.
Motion: Upon a motion by 2"d Vice Chair Mangrum, and a second by
Commissioner Trahan, the Commission voted 5 IN FAVOR, and 1
OPPOSED (by Commissioner Kizer), to allow a maximum of two retail
kiosks on the northwest corner and two food kiosks on the northeast corner
