Board Discussion
Mr. Richard Robinson, 1800 Main Street, Suite 123, Dallas, applicant for
the request, the subject building is the Campus Commons located in the
middle of the proposed site plan. The subject building will be three story
Science Building, with a penthouse. The penthouse is an enclosure for
mechanical equipment. The penthouse enclosure will be small
0.4 component as opposed to the entire floor and will be approximately
2,500 to 3,000 square feet.
Mr. Haskins stated typically a measurement for height of a structure is
measured to the roof line. Because the applicant is proposing to enclose
the mechanical equipment, the height would include the enclosure.
Board Members questioned the sight of angle to the eye for the subject
building from Country Club Road. Mr. Robinson stated that as one looks
across the property, the angle of the eye is tip of the penthouse. Mr.
Haskins stated that the building will be approximately 627 feet away from
