TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ROGER NELSON, CITY MANAGES R
DATE: JANUARY 14, 2002
SUBJECT: ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS - SIGNAGE
This afternoon Tommy Hardy and I spoke with John Boyle about the timing of the
change to zoning ordinance for the pole signs along Highway 26. After reviewing
the advertising for the public hearing for the parking lane widths, as well as the
wording of the agenda item for the lane widths, it is John's opinion that we will be
able to include the signage amendment in tomorrow night's zoning ordinance
amendments. As I shared with some of you in conversations earlier today, we
were looking at doing a Wal-Mart second reading on February 5t". That will no
longer be necessary and we will be able to close out the Wal-Mart case tomorrow
night.
The work that they did to get to the prototypical parking area added roughly 10.
parking islands, which addpo 10 more live oaks than the original landscaping
plan shows. They are trying to get the revised landscaping plan done for
tomorrow night's public hearing.
During our meeting with Wal -Mart's engineers this afternoon they said that Wal-
Mart still wants to have the Super Center open by Christmas and that they
believed they would be able to also get the Sam's Club open by Christmas.
I was asked today to check on the creek area in order to make sure that the area
would stay natural. The engineer assured me that it would stay natural as
disturbing the area would force them into a 404 Permit process.
