A motion was made by Commissioner Hughes, and seconded by Commissioner Chapman, to approve the minutes as submitted. Motion carried 5 — 1. (Commissioner Spillyards abstained). ACTION AGENDA 1. Consider and act upon approval of a Site Plan for AutoZone, being all of a certain 1.116 acre (48,613 square feet) tract of land, generally located north of State Highway 78 and east of F.M. 544, being part of Lot 2R, Block A of the 78 Corner Addition (Walgreen's) situated in the S. B. Shelby Survey, Abstract No. 820, City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas. Thompson stated that on June 3, 2003, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved a Site Plan for an Auto Zone Store on this property. The lot was to be created by the administrative Minor Plat dividing Lot 2 into two lots. However, the owner of the property took back 45 feet of the lot on the west side and the applicant was forced to completely redesign the site and thus resubmit for Site Plan approval. The property will be replatted by Minor Plat in order to create the lot. The subject lot for the auto parts retail store is approximately 6,219 square feet on 1.116-acre. The remaining lot is undeveloped and 3.102 acre in size. Commissioner Seely noted that there are more parking spaces provided than are required. In the north east corner there are two parking spaces where the ability to maneuver vehicles in and out of the parking spaces is a concern, and recommended removing the space along the east parking line. Clark Smith, RLK Engineering, 111 W. Main Street, Allen, Texas, represented engineer for the subject property, agreed to remove the parking space and convert that area to additional landscaping. Commissioners also expressed concern that the dumpster is located at the front door, and requested that it be angled. Thompson stated that location of the dumpster is unfortunate but easily accessed and there are no good options. If angled more than currently shown it will interfere with the lane for the parking spaces along the front of the building as well as a truck for loading. If angled toward State Highway 78, the gate will be part visible. Commissioners discussed the ability to maneuver vehicles in and out of the handicapped spaces which are beside the dumpster. P & Z Meeting November 4, 2003 Page 3 of 3 A motion was made by Commissioner Chapman, and seconded by Commissioner Seely, to approve the Site Plan with the parking space on the east corner removed for additional landscape.
