With no changes noted, a motion was made by Commissioner Chapman, and seconded by Commissioner Adamcik, to approve the minutes as submitted. Motion passed 4 - 0. ACTION AGENDA
Thompson stated that the proposal is to build a Day Care facility totaling 12,776 square feet on the 2.873 acre tract. Day Care facilities are normally allowed within residential zoning districts with an approved Special Use Permit, in order to ensure that the use is compatible with its surroundings. The subject tract was identified within the Birmingham Farms Phase 13 Planned Development District (PD 2002-39) for day care uses by right without a requirement for a SUP. However, no specific development requirements were specified within the PD for this nonresidential use. The proposed complies with the Nonresidential Design Standards of Section 4.4 of the Zoning Ordinance, except for exterior wall building materials. The applicant desires a log cabin image used on other day care facilities, and proposes to use on the front and west facades wood planks, fashioned in the appearance of log rounds, finished on-site with a stain/preservative, with caulked seams. Staff has concerns that the durability, fire safety and moisture resistance of the siding, but the Zoning Ordinance allows the P & Z Commission to waive or vary the masonry exterior wall requirement in order to achieve a theme image. The applicant made available for the meeting documentation supporting the durability, fire safety, and moisture of the proposed wood siding. Thompson reviewed with the Commissioners the code requirements on substituting the masonry requirement and the specifications of the material the applicant wants to use. Commissioner Chapman questioned why couldn't the stain/preservative treatment be performed on the back of wood planks. Rusty Simpson, 4416 Merit Road, Sachse Texas, represented the applicant of the subject property, responded that the stain/preservative treatment can be performed on both the front and back prior to construction. A motion was made by Commissioner Chapman, and seconded by Commissioner Adamcik, to recommend approval of the Site Plan with stipulation that the stain/preservative treatment will be performed on the front and back of the wood siding prior to construction. Motion carried 4 - 0.
Thompson reviewed the history and the zoning of the subject property, for which the Site Plan was approved by previous action tonight. The Plat provides an additional 70 feet of right-of-way for the future expansion of Park Boulevard, which is the primary point of access. Access easements are also provided from the adjoining commercial property to the west. A motion was made by Commissioner Hughes, and seconded by Commissioner Chapman, to recommend approval of the Final Plat. Motion carried 4 - 0. ADJOURNMENT A motion was made by Commissioner Adamcik, and seconded by Commissioner Hughes, to adjourn at 7:40 PM. Motion carried 4 - 0.
