Second: Lovell
Vote: 4 to 2 (Annan, Borghese) Motion Carried

uses require Specific Use Permits rather than be not permitted.
Annan said he also preferred Specific Use Permits for the uses being discussed.
6. Consideration and possible action regarding the site plan (expansion) for Sterling Plaza
located at 1506 E. Winding Way
Motion to approve: Neel
Second: Borghese
Vote: 6 to 0 (unanimous) Motion Carried
Harbin explained the applicant currently had three buildings on site and would like to
mirror those by building three more. The existing auto repair building will be demolished
to make room for the new buildings. She stated Staff had no outstanding comments
regarding the site plan. The applicant was working through drainage plans with the
Drainage District and could then begin permitting.
O’Farrell said he thought the demolition of the auto shop and construction of new
buildings will look great.
Annan commented the site was lacking ADA approved sidewalks from each building to
the city sidewalk. Adam Hill, owner, explained egress was gained through the drive to
the sidewalk. He stated they made application to the Texas Department of Licensing and
Regulation who will then inspect the site for compliance.
Annan asked if the dumpster enclosure was required to have gates. Harbin explained the
dumpster must be screened from view from pedestrian traffic and the first two lanes of
road traffic.

meeting dates
Not discussed

Lovell asked what the procedure was when an application seemed to be missing items

Not discussed further.
