CONSENT AGENDA ITEM
1. Consider and act upon approval of the Minutes from the October 21, 2003,
Regular Meeting.
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.
