located north of SH 78 and west of Wal-Mart Supercenter's primary entry

Mr. Lee stated that the applicant requested the initial concept plan to be reviewed and
approved for a bank facility with a drive-through capability. The concept plan provides a
layout drawing of the intent of the development of the property, the use, and the size of
the building.
The applicant will be required to submit a Final Site Plan and Replat to Planning
Department and subsequent this Commission for review. City Council will also review
the Replat but not the Final Site Plan.

four drive-through lanes. The access is to the north of the property, and at the southern
parking area of Wal-Mart.

the Final Site Plan is submitted. Staff reminded the Commission that there is an access
easement to the north of the building. However, the Commission asked that there be
access along the south as well.
