CU95 -25 - MARCIA WILLETT
First for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the city Council
was Conditional Use request CU95 -2E submitted by Marcia Willett requesting a
conditional use permit to amend CU94 --01 Ordinance 94 -15) approved site plan for
the convenience store with alcoholic beverage and gasoline sales to remove the gas
pumps in the front of the building and develop a new canopy with seven gas pumps
at the side of the existing store. The applicant is also requesting a waiver to section
47.E.2. in accordance with section 47.F.
Marcy Ratcliff, Planner explained Conditional Use Permit CU 94 -01 approved the three
phases of redevelopment. The first phase was an expansion to add 270 square feet
to the side of the existing convenience store. Phase 11 development included

demolition of the small house and storage building and development of the canopy
over nevi g as pumps. Phase III development included the construction of a new store
and demolition of the existing store. The proposed amendment only changes the
location of the canopy and gas pumps. Phase III will probably require a revision to the
conditional use permit.
Marcia Willett was introduced to respond to questions relative to her request. She
explained she was requesting to amend the approved site plan to change the canopy
at the rear of the building. Further, she stated she wanted to keep the front door in
its present location because her customers were familiar with the location. After they
become familiar with the new location at the rear of the building she will consider
closing off the door on the east side of the building. Also she is proposing to place
large signs on the property indicting large truck entrance and exit locations. She said
it was not feasible to install curb and gutters until East Northwest Highway is
expanded. The applicant is provinding' a temporary B inch asphaltic concrete curb.
With no questions, guests to speak, nor letters or petitions, the public hearing was
closed .
in the Commission deliberation session members discussed the drive cuts near the
front entrance door. Staff told the Commission a signal light was proposed to be
installed at Gallas Road and Northwest Highway with turn lanes. Members discussed
concerns relative to the flow of traffic on and around the property.
Tommy Hardy, Director of Development Services, explained that with each additional
phase of development more customers will begin to use the entrance door at the rear
of the building. Eventually, the door on Northwest Highway will be abandoned which
w*[I control the traffic on the property. Also, he stated that presently the guy wires
on the south side tf the building prevented vehicles from exiting to the west from the
present location of the front door.
Curtis Young moved to approve CU95 -26 with a waiver to Section 47.P with a
provision the east most drive cut on Dallas Road be removed from the site plan.

"PID" Planned industrial Development for a manufacturing establishment and a
conditional use permit for the total 17.620 acres to allow outside storage of the
manufactured materials. Additionally the applicant is requesting a waiver to Section

"PID" Planned Industrial Development was a part of the Myers property that was

are automatically zoned "R-20" Single Family. This property and the remaining Stone
property are Faster Planned for industrial /commercial land uses. Currently, the
Pavestone property is zoned Planned Industrial Development and is developed under
the Standard Development option. The Standard Development Option allows you to
have a minimum lot size of three acres and is subject to the same restrictions as the
"LI" � Light Industrial District
The applicant is requesting a conditional use for outside storage of Pavestone material
on the existing development and the proposed development. The existing Pavestone
property, when developed, did not require a conditional use permit for outside storage.

District requiring all outside storage in conjunction with a permitted use be a
conditional use permit. Additionally, the applicant is requesting to not provide cross
access to adjacent properties because of the manufacturing use and secured storage
areas.
Mr. Jim Mitchell of Pavestone Company was introduced to respond to questions
relative to screening of the outside storage.
With no questions, guests to speak, nor letters or petitions, the public hearing was

regarding drive cuts on the property. He explained tractor trailer traffic would enter
the development from the proposed Stone Ayers Parkway and exit on the frontage
road. He explained the intent of the additional drive cuts requested is to separate the
smaller vehicle traffic from the trucks.

secured product area they are requesting drive cuts for auto traffic to the new office
