Excerpts from Plan Commission Minutes of March 7,2013 continued: <br /> Ms. Stickle responded that staff stipulated 23 spaces because everything in the required plan <br /> would have to be that way or they would have to seek Council approval for any changes. <br /> Mr. John asked about accident counts because he stated that a portion of First Drive can be a <br /> very challenging stretch of road. <br /> Mrs. Mary Cave was sworn in by Mrs. Althoff. <br /> Mrs. Cave stated that when looking at the traffic impacts, they use the ITE manual for the usages <br /> that were previously there and the usages proposed and this determined the additional traffic to <br /> the road. Mrs. Cave stated that if there are known problems they will request engineers to do a <br /> traffic impact study but staff did not feel that it was necessary at that time. <br /> Mr. John stated that he is on that stretch of road very often and it is quite adventurous. <br /> Mrs. Cave stated that there are currently three (3) uses for that property. Mrs. Cave stated that <br /> the building was torn down and replaced with another building approximately the same size so it <br /> is just differences in uses and that would be the only addition or subtraction of traffic. <br /> Mr. Phil Cochran was sworn in by Mrs. Althoff. <br /> Mr. Cochran stated that Mr. Mark Allen tore down the old Arby's, constructed the new <br /> Southlake Pharmacy and Subway, constructed a new wall along the back property line and the <br /> first thing he did was build a Speed Lube. Mr. Cochran stated that Mr. Allem has gone through <br /> considerable expenses to update and make the area more attractive and the development is just a <br /> continuation of that plan with constructing a building approximately 3,400 square feet which will <br /> consist of a multi-tenant building. Mr. Cochran stated that he agrees with Mr. John that the <br /> stretch of road can be challenging at times but this will not add to any additional challenges to <br /> First Drive. <br /> It was moved and seconded (Peck, Frantz) to forward Cal. No. 13-06 to the City Council with <br /> recommendation for approval as presented by staff. Motion carried unanimously. <br />
