PZ 11-17 Hold a public hearing and consider an Ordinance amending Section 28-107 of
the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance to provide fence requirements in the UC, 0, GR,
RC, SC, C and PD districts.
The Chairman, Mr. Bob West, stated that the ordinance allows for a 7 Foot fence for a
22,000 square foot tract of land in the UC-2 and UC-3 districts.
Rob Dillard, City Attorney, interpreted the Ordinance to mean that it refers to anyone
tract ofland located in both UC-2 and UC-3.
Leon Bennett, SMU Counsel, was present on behalf of SMU because the property in
question was within SMU.
After some discussion, it was determined that the request refers to a tract that would be in
either UC-2 or UC-3 and SMU was requesting the Ordinance be changed accordingly.
A Motion was made and second that Section 28-107 be changed to include property in
either UC-2 or UC-3; not the same property having to be in both districts.
The Motion passed unanimously.
The Chairman read the specifics for the next case.
PZ-11-18 Consider a request by SMU to extend the use of the Temporary Athletic
Facility.
Leon Bennett, SMU Counsel, was available to answer questions.
A Motion was made and second, and passed unanimously.
The Chairman read the specifics for the next case.
PZ-II-19 Consider a request by 3J Design for site plan approval for a proposed Drive-
Thru Bank located at 6900 Snider Plaza. The site is zoned PD-I-R for general retail uses
in accordance with the comprehensive zoning ordinance.
Mr. Chris Boening representing 3J Design was available to answer questions. After
Doug Roach inquired as to the name of the Bank, he said Wachovia.
A traffic study was requested, and results distributed to the Commission, by the City and
by 3J Design.
3J Design confirmed that 5 parking spaces would be added, and Staff confirmed that 5
spaces did meet the requirement.
There was some discussion about a mandatory right turn from the site on to Rankin, but it
was not noted by the traffic study.
A question was raised by the Commission regarding landscaping requirement, but Staff
noted that the property is mostly pavement and there is only minimal area for landscape,
so no submittal on landscaping was requested.
A Motion was made and second to grant the request.
The Motion passed unanimously.
The Chairman then asked for a Motion to approve the minutes of the September 19' 2005
Planning & Zoning Meeting.
A Motion was made and second, and passed unanimously.
