Jess Williams spoke to the commission regarding a large oak tree that is on the site of
Superwash adjacent to the Brown House. He is concerned about the roots being
disturbed when the developer dug trenches for utility lines. In addition, Mr. Williams
expressed his concerns that the detention pond had been full for 3 months and requested
a temporary fence be erected until construction is completed.
Recommendation to City Council regarding a request for a Specific Use Permit for a
Print Shop in a Planned Unit Development (PUD) -.2893 acres in the 200 block of East
Edgewood, Block 1, Lot 2 (Southeast portion of Melody Plaza Section 2).
Vice Chair Burke read a letter from Greg Sallee regarding the operations of the business
to be incorporated into the specific use permit. The print shop does not have enough
parking; however, there is enough parking to meet aggregate requirements. A note,
indicating there will be shared parking, is to be added to both site plans (Southeast and
Northwest portions). There were concerns that the defined uses were not precise enough
and the hours of operation were not specified.
Motion:
Second:
Vote for:
Clark to table the item until there can be better
clarification of uses and the note regarding shared
parking be placed on both site plans.
McVeigh
Unanimous Motion Carried
Request for a Specific Use Permit for School in a Single Family Residential Dwelling
District (SFR) -16.9255 acres out of lots 12 and 15, Section 68, S&F Survey, Burgess
Addition (adjacent to Windsong Subdivision).
Traffic safety issues were discussed as well as the distances between the drives to allow
ingress and egress to the school. FM 528 is 60 m.p.h. at this point and the School district
is proposing to have the speed limit lowered to 45 m.p.h. which concerned some of the
commissioners. Other issues raised at the public hearing were fencing and drainage.
These items were not adequately addressed.
