BUT FROM THE NORTHERN SIDE, AND AS I MENTIONED, THIS ALSO IS CONSIDERED THE PRIMARY FACE ALONG MAYFIELD, THEY HAVE PROVIDED, UM, GLAZING, THEY WERE JUST NOT ABLE TO MEET THE 30% REQUIREMENT.
UM, AND OVERALL WINDOW, THEY DID PROVIDE A LOT OF GLAZING, BUT THEY DO HAVE A WESTERN WALL WITH THE SOLID BRICKS.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE SPEAKER? UM, I DO NOT.
I'M, I WAS VERY CURIOUS, UM, ABOUT DO YOU KNOW WHAT TENANTS THEY'RE SEEKING AS A CONTRACTOR? I'M NOT SURE IF YOU WERE.
WE HAVE NOT LEASED ANY TENANTS YET.
OBVIOUSLY IT'D BE SOME TYPE OF RETAIL TYPICALLY.
UM, IT'S A GREAT WALKABILITY FROM THE TOWNHOUSE APARTMENTS, SO MM-HMM
UH, COFFEE SHOP CLOSE TO LAKE STARBUCKS WOULD BE NICE.
SOME KIND OF, YEAH, STARBUCKS WOULD, NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES WOULD BE GREAT.
BE, BUT WE DON'T HAVE A TENDENCY.
THIS MUST BE CLOSE TO SOMEBODY'S HOUSE DOWN THERE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THIS APPLICANT? OH YEAH.
THE ONLY CONCERN I HAVE IS TRAFFIC, LIKE, PEOPLE'S SPEED DOWN THAT AND THEY SLOW DOWN REAR FAST TO GO DOWN GRAND WAY.
IS THERE A, LIKE, WHAT'S THE PLANS TO HELP PEOPLE SLOW DOWN? IS THERE A, I THINK THERE'S A, A DISTRICT DECELERATION LANE PROPOSED SITE PLAN? NO, IT'S, YEAH, THAT'S MY BIGGEST CONCERN.
'CAUSE PEOPLE, BUT YOU'RE CORRECT, THEY DO GO FAST.

BUT IT'S GOOD THAT YOU'LL HAVE THAT SLOW DOWN BEFORE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO, I MISSPOKE.

[4. STP-26-08-0021 - Site Plan - Parry's Pizzeria and Taphouse (City Council District 2). Site Plan for a full-service restaurant on 1.94 acres. Lots 3 & 4, Block A, Bobby Cox Addition, City of Grand Prairie, Dallas County, Texas, zoned PD-143, within the SH 161 Corridor Overlay District, and addressed as 1555 & 1565 Mayfield Rd ]
THANK YOU, COMMISSIONERS.THE NEXT ITEM IS THE ITEM NUMBER FOUR STP 26 0 8 0 0 2 1, WHICH IS A SITE PLAN FOR PARIS PIZZERIA.
THIS IS A SITE PLAN PROPOSAL LOCATED NEXT TO THE, UM, ESTABLISHED, UM, ROSAS CAFE SOUTH OF EPIC WEST.
THEY ARE, UH, PROPOSING TO CONSTRUCT A FULL SERVICE RESTAURANT.
THIS AREA VIEW GENERALLY SHOWS WHERE THE PROJECT BOUNDARIES, SO THE SITE PLAN FEATURES A 5,800 SQUARE FOOT RESTAURANT WITH THE OUTDOOR PATIO AREA.
THEY ARE MEETING THE DENSITY AND DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENT.
THEY ARE REQUESTING VARIANCE TO ALLOW THEIR, UH, PARKING TO EXCEED THE PARKING MAXIMUM.
THEY HAVE PROVIDED COMPACT PARKING AS THE COMPENSATORY MEASURE AS REQUIRED BY THE APPENDIX F.
THE PROPOSAL GENERALLY MEETS THE LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENT.
UM, THEY ARE REQUESTING ONE VARIANCE TO THE, UM, RESIDENT, UH, TREAT LANDSCAPE REFERRAL REQUIRED ALONG THE L UH, RESIDENTIAL AREA.
THE APPLICANT HAS CONFIRMED THAT THE, UH, SIX FOOT SCREEN WALL IS ACTUALLY FINISHED CONSTRUCTED.
THEY, HE HAS CONFIRMED THAT IT'S NOT VISIBLE FROM THE AERIAL, HOWEVER IT IS FULLY DONE.
SO HERE'S THE BUILDING ELEVATION, SHOWING THE PROPOSAL THAT WAS PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT.
YOU CAN KIND OF SEE, SO THIS ELEVATION HERE WITH THE SEATING AREA WITH LARGE WINDOWS WITH THE
[00:20:01]
CORNER, UH, OUTDOOR PATIO IS THE ELEVATION THAT WILL BE VISIBLE FROM THE MAYFIELD ROAD.THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED 12.5 MENU ITEMS AND MEETS THE APPENDIX F CHECKLIST REQUIREMENT.
THEY ARE REQUESTING VARIANCES.
UM, THEY'RE REQUESTING VARIANCE FOR A NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES, UH, TO ALLOW THE MAXIMUM ALLOW PARKING SPACES 45 TO ALLOW A TOTAL OF 117 PARKING SPACES.
SECOND IS TO ALLOW THE PRIMARY ENTRANCE TO FACE THE EAST ELEVATION INSTEAD OF TO THE NORTH ALONG MAYFIELD.
THEY ARE REQUESTING VARIANCE TO THE EXIT MATERIALS.
UM, THIS IS KIND OF A BRANDING OF THE PARIS TIP HOUSE AND PIZZA AND TIP HOUSE.
THEY ARE USING, UM, METAL PANELS MIXED WITH THE BRICK WORK, AND THIS EXCEEDS THE ALLOWABLE 10% ON EACH ELEVATION.
THEY'RE ALSO REQUESTING VARIANCE TO THE OVERALL WINDOWS AND WINDOWS ON THE NORTH FACADE AND THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL.
SO, UM, TYPICALLY WHEN A NON-RESIDENTIAL, SUCH AS COMMERCIAL USES ARE A BUDDING A RESIDENTIAL AREA.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THEY'RE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A 15 FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER WITH TREES, SHADE TREES IN THAT BUFFER PER THE APPENDIX EFFORT REQUIREMENT.
AS THE PART OF THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT, THE, UH, PROPERTY OWNER HAS CONSTRUCTED A SIX FOOT MAINSTREAM SCREENING WALL.
UH, WHAT STAFF IS REQUESTING IS THAT WE'RE OKAY WITH THE TENDER LANDSCAPE BUFFER AND 10 FOOT WALKING TRAIL, BECAUSE THAT IS A NICE AMENITY TO THE PUBLIC.
HOWEVER, TO PUT A CONDITION TO PROVIDE A SHADE TREE TO PROVIDE A SHADE FOR THE WALKING TRAIL, THE APPLICANT HAS SHOWN, UH, UH, UM, SHRUBS, THEY'RE VERY TALL.
UM, BUT WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE ARE SOME SHADE PROVIDED THAT IS THE STEP CONDITION.
AGAIN, I'LL GO OVER AND CONCLUDE THE, UM, VARIANCES AND THE, UH, STEP RECOMMENDATION.
SO THE LAST VARIANCE IS TO, UH, TO THE REQUIRED 15 LANDSCAPE BUFFER WITH 21 SHADE TREES TO ALLOW 10 FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER AND 10 FOOT ATION TRAIL WITH 21 HOLLY TREES.
HOLLY TREES ARE CONSIDERED SMALL TREES OR SHRUBS.
SO WE WERE, UH, WANTING THAT TO BE REPLACED WITH THE REQUIRED SHADE TREES.
SO HERE ARE THE, UH, CONSIDERATION FOR APPROVAL.
SHOULD THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMEND APPROVAL, STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT ONE, THE REQUIRED MASONRY SCREENING WALL ALONG THE WESTERN PROPERTY LINE SHOULD BE CONSTRUCTED AND IN PLACE PRIOR TO THE SHOWING OF THE BUILDING PERMIT.
AGAIN, THIS HAS BEEN VERIFIED, THE APPLICANT THAT IS CONSTRUCTED.
WE JUST WANNA KEEP THAT IN THERE IN CASE THAT THERE'S ANY CHANGES IN THE FUTURE.
NUMBER TWO, SHADE TREES, UM, SELECTED FROM THE RECOMMENDED TREE LIST SHALL BE PROVIDED WITHIN THAT 10 FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER THAT'S BEING PROVIDED.
AND THE NUMBER THREE, THE PORTION OF THE WESTERN PROPERTY LINE ALL ALONG THE OPEN SPACE, UM, INSTEAD OF THE SIX FOOT BASE SCREENING WALL LIVING SCREEN SHALL BE ALLOWED IN THAT PORTION.
THIS CONCLUDES THAT PRESENTATION.
WE DO HAVE THE, UH, REPRESENTATION FROM THE PARIS PIZZA AREA AND ALSO THE, UH, DESIGN TEAM, INCLUDING CIVIL AND ARCHITECTS.
UM, IS THERE ANY QUESTION FOR STAFF AT THIS TIME? UH, YES.
JUNE, I THINK WE HAVE, UH, COMMISSIONER CHAPMAN.
HEY, JUNE, I HAVE ONE QUESTION.
ARE THESE ANGLED PARKING SPACES ARE PARALLEL? UH, I'M SORRY.
PARALLEL ARE, AM I SAYING IT RIGHT? Y YES.
THE COMPACT PARKING ARE, UM, MARKED WITH THE, UM, BLUE HERE.
SO THOSE WILL BE A SMALLER PARKING SPACES.
UM, AGAIN, WHEN THEY ARE TRYING TO EXCEED THE ALLOWED PARKING MAXIMUM, THEY HAVE TWO CHOICES.
THEY CAN GO WITH THE COMPACT PARKING OR THE PERMEABLE PARKING WITH PERMEABLE SURFACES.
THEY FELT THAT IF IT'S THEIR OPERATION BETTER TO PROVIDE A COMPACT PARKING SPACES, THOUGH THEY MET ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE VARIANCE REQUEST.
AND ONE OTHER THING, NOW THIS IS GET ME RIGHT ON MY, UH, LOCATIONS.
THIS IS SHAKE SHACK IS ON THE OTHER SIDE, RIGHT? YES, MA'AM.
SO IF YOU LOOK AT IT, UM, THIS IS THE EPIC WEST, THIS IS SHAKE SHACK.
UM, I KNOW THIS AREA HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED, BUT THIS IS WHERE THE ROSAS CAFE IS CURRENTLY CONSTRUCTED.
THERE'S A ONE VACANT LOT BETWEEN THE ROSAS CAFE AND PARISS PIZZA, BUT THEY WILL TAKE OVER THIS AREA.
AND THERE'S A RED LIGHT RIGHT IN THAT SPOT RIGHT HERE? YES.
I BELIEVE WHEN I TRY TO EXIT, I THINK THERE'S A, A, THE STREET YES.
THAT RED LIGHT, THERE'S A LOT OF ING GOING ON RIGHT THERE.
I SEE A LOT OF U-TURNS HAPPEN.
SO I GUESS MY QUESTION BECOMES, SINCE THERE, THE ACCESSIBILITY TO THAT LOT MM-HMM
IS NOT GOING TO BE FROM THAT BACKSIDE, BUT FROM THE FRONT SIDE, CORRECT? MM-HMM
SO, UM, THIS IS THE MAYFIELD ROAD, RIGHT? AND THAT ENTRY, WHICH IS CURRENTLY USED BY THE ROSAS CAFE, WILL BE SHARED BY ALL THE LAND USES THERE BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO GET, UH, CONNECTION FROM 1 61 SERVICE ROAD DUE
[00:25:01]
TO TDOT REQUIREMENTS.SO I KNOW, UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT OUR TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT TRY TO WORK WITH THE APPLICANT WAS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE ENOUGH DISTANCE SEPARATION FROM THIS DRIVEWAY TO THAT DRIVEWAY, JUST SO THAT NOT EVERY CAR WILL BE BACKED UP HERE, BUT PART OF THE CIVIL ENGINEERING PLANS, I THINK OUR TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT WILL TRY TO REVIEW TRAFFIC COUNTS THERE.
AND, UM, IF THEY NEED TO PROPOSE ANY OTHER IMPROVEMENTS, I THINK THAT COULD BE REQUIRED.
WE DO HAVE A TRANSPORTATION STAFF HERE.
UM, THEY DIDN'T REALLY MAKE ANY SPECIFIC COMMENT OR CONDITION FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT AT THIS TIME, BUT THEY ARE AVAILABLE IF THEY HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS.
IT'S, IT'S A VERY BROAD KIND OF SPAN.
I SEE
TO GET BACK INTO TRAFFIC, YES.
WE CAN SHARE THAT WITH THE TRANSPORTATION TEAM AND, UH, HAVE THEM REVIEW THAT DURING THE CIVIL INJURY PLANS.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? NO.
I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE COMPACT PARKING.
WHAT'S THE REQUIREMENT AGAIN? LIKE, DO THEY HAVE TO DO COMPACT PARKING OR, YES, SIR.
SO, UM, TO MAKE THE NUMBER EASY, HOW, HOW I TYPICALLY DESCRIBE IS THAT IF YOU ARE PARKING MAXIMUM IS A HUNDRED SPACES, IF YOU WANNA PROVIDE 120 SPACES OUT OF THAT 20 SPACES, 10 OF THEM HAS TO BE EITHER COMPACT PARKING OR PARKING.
WITH THE PERMEABLE PAVING, AS WE HAVE SEEN WITH THE CASES LATER ON, THE CONSIDERATION TONIGHT, THEY ARE CHOOSING TO PER DO THE PERMEABLE PAVING.
SOME PEOPLE SAY, HEY, WE DON'T WANNA DEAL WITH MAINTAINING PERMEABLE PAVING, SO WE RATHER GO WITH COMPACT PARKING.
SO THEY'RE PROVIDING COMPACT PARKING, WHICH IS A FOOT SHORTER, THEY'RE ABOUT EIGHT BY 16, SO THEY'RE ABOUT FOOT AND TWO FEET SMALLER IN DIMENSION THAN REGULAR PARKING SPACES, BUT THEY CAN'T GET A CAR IN THERE.
BUT IT'S TRULY INTENDED TO LIMIT PAVED SURFACE, TO REDUCE RUNOFFS AND OTHER, YOU KNOW, ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECT AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.
THERE'S NO WAY TO GET A, A VARIANCE AROUND THAT.
THAT IS PART OF THE REQUIREMENT TO ALLOW THEM TO EXCEED THE MAXIMUM PARKING SPACES.
ARE YOU NOT COMPLETE WITH THE COMPACT PARKING
IT'S GONNA CAUSE A LOT OF FRUSTRATION.
CAN WE, YEAH, I, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS MIGHT BE FOR YOU, BUT, UM, LOOKING AT HERE, THE, THE PROPOSED, UH, PARKING IS TWO AND A HALF TIMES MORE.
IS THERE ANY, UH, DOCUMENTATION TO SHOW LIKE, WHY? SO PART OF IT, AGAIN, THE APPLICANT IS HERE AND THEY CAN EXPLAIN FURTHER, BUT PART OF THE ISSUES THAT I'VE BEEN RUNNING INTO REVIEWING ALL THESE RESTAURANTS IS THAT HOW OUR WORDING IS WRITTEN IN OUR UVC IS THEY CANNOT TAKE OFF ENTIRE BUILDING FOOTPRINT IN THE CALCULATION.
THEY CAN ONLY CALCULATE THE DINING AREA AND THE LOBBY.
SO OUTDOOR DINING, INDOOR DINING.
SO A LOT OF TIMES, EVEN WITH THE 5,800 SQUARE FOOT RESTAURANT, IF YOU SUBTRACT THE SQUARE FOOTAGES OF THE BACK OF THE AREA AND KITCHEN, YOU ARE LEFT WITH SMALLER AREA, MEANING YOUR MAXIMUM PARKING IS LESS THAN THE ACTUAL BUILDING FOOTPRINT DIVIDED BY THE HUNDRED.
THAT'S WHY I USUALLY, WE RUN INTO THIS, UM, PARKING VARIANCES AGAIN.
UM, PART OF THE REQUIREMENT IS TO ENCOURAGE SHARED PARKING AGREEMENTS AND WALKABILITY, BECAUSE IF THERE BUILT TWO BUILDINGS ARE SEPARATED BY A LARGE FIELD OF PARKING, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WILL BE LESS ENCOURAGED TO WALK.
UM, HOWEVER, SOME RESTAURANTS, THEY PREFER TO HAVE A NUMBER OF PARKING PROVIDED ON THEIR LOT.
SOMETIMES THAT'S PART OF THE FRANCHISE REQUIREMENT AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.
SO I THINK THAT'S WHY WE'RE SEEING A LOT OF THESE VARIANCES ASSOCIATED WITH SIT DOWN RESTAURANTS.
UH, I THINK COMMISSIONER CHAPMAN HAS QUESTION ONE MORE.
UM, I WANTED TO KNOW, AND IT MAY BE FOR THE APPLICANT INSTEAD OF YOU, BUT WITH, I NOTICED THEY DON'T HAVE A DRIVE-THROUGH, RIGHT? THEY DO NOT.
SO I'M JUST CURIOUS, ARE SOME OF THESE PARKING SPOTS ALLOCATED FOR LIKE, CURBSIDE PULL UP? THAT I'M NOT SURE, BUT, UM, ACTUALLY THE PARIS PIZZA REPRESENTATIVE IS HERE.
ANYBODY ELSE FOR JUNE? ALL RIGHT.
UH, I MIGHT MISPRONOUNCE YOUR LAST NAME.
JOEY, UH, RISSEL, UH, WITH REGIONAL PARTNERS NORTH TEXAS.
UH, WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM IN SUPPORT OF THIS ITEM, UM, IF REQUIRED OR IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS.
ANYBODY ELSE? OR WE YES, WE HAVE A NUMBER.
SO, SO IF YOU'RE THE APPLICANT, I THINK WE MIGHT, DO YOU REPRESENT THE APPLICANT? SIR? I, I REPRESENT THE OPERATION OF PERRY.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO, ARE YOU MR. ROKEY? WHAT, WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK FIRST? I HAVE FOUR CARDS.
THE QUESTION IS FOR OPERATIONS FOR COME ON UP.
AND IF YOU CAN PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.
[00:30:05]
HI, MY NAME'S JOEY RISO, AND I LIVE AT 8 0 0 9 ALPINE COURT, FRISCO, TEXAS.UH, TY, YOU HAD A QUESTION ABOUT YES, SIR.
HOW ARE YOU DOING? GREAT, THANK YOU.
UM, SO I WANTED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE PARKING MM-HMM
AND I'M JUST CURIOUS ARE HOW MANY ARE GONNA ACTUALLY BE USED FOR LIKE, CURBSIDE TO GO? YOU KNOW, THAT WOULD BE A GREAT QUESTION FOR THE GENTLEMAN BACK THERE WHO'S, WHO'S GONNA BE BUILDING IT, BUT I COULD GIVE YOU, I COULD TELL YOU, I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT NUMBER OFFHAND.
UM, THERE WILL BE TO GO PARKING, THERE WILL BE HANDICAP PARKING, UM, IN, IN REGARDS TO PARKING FOR A RESTAURANT ON A FRIDAY, SATURDAY NIGHT.
I COULD HAVE 40 STAFF MEMBERS INSIDE WORKING IN A SHIFT.
AND NO ONE CARPOOLS IN THIS DAY AND AGE AS A STAFF MEMBER COMING FROM DIFFERENT DEMOGRAPHICS, DIFFERENT AREAS.
SO THAT'S WHY THE PARKING IS CRUCIAL, SO FOR OUR OPERATION.
IF NOT MORE, DEPENDING ON HOLIDAYS AND ALL THAT OTHER STUFF.
NOT REALLY PERTINENT TO THE, I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH YOUR CHAIN OR FRANCHISE.
TAP HOUSE MEANS IT'S, THERE'S GONNA BE LIKE A LOT OF BEERS ON TAP.
I'M ASKING FOR COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ, JUST I KNOW, RIGHT?
SO OUR RESTAURANT, UM, TYPICALLY HAS ANYWHERE BETWEEN 60 TAPS TO 80 TAPS IN SOME RESTAURANTS.
UM, I THINK THE NUMBER THAT WE'RE GONNA LAND ON IS PROBABLY GONNA BE IN THE 60 TO 65 RANGE, DEPENDING ON WHAT THE JURY WOULD LIKE HERE AT THIS POINT IN TIME.
DO YOU SEE ALL OF THE SMILING
WE'RE ABOUT A 90% SCRATCH KITCHEN.
WE MAKE ALL OF OUR OWN DOUGH, ALL OF OUR OWN SAUCES, ALL OF OUR OWN DRESSINGS.
WE HAVE 16 RESTAURANTS IN TEXAS CURRENTLY.
I OPENED THE FIRST ONE IN THE COLONY SIX YEARS AGO IN 2020.
UM, AND I, I'VE BEEN WITH THE COMPANY FOR SEVEN YEARS AND I'M, I'M VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT OUR PRODUCT.
I'M VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT OUR BRAND AND WHAT WE DO FOR THE COMMUNITY AS WELL TOO, WITH OUR, WITH OUR OUTREACH AND GIVE BACK AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
SO IT'S A FRANCHISE OPERATION NOW? IT IS NOT, IT IS PRIVATELY OWNED, SIR, BUT WE DO TAKE JVP PARTNERS.
I'M A JVB PARTNER IN THREE OF THE RESTAURANTS CURRENTLY AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME.
UM, AND SO IT'S DONE A WONDERFUL THING FOR MY FAMILY AND MY LIVELIHOOD AT THIS POINT.

Lots 3, 4, & 5, Block B, Westover Place Addition Revised, City of Grand Prairie, Dallas County, Texas, zoned PD-237, and addressed as 125 NE 26th Street]
OKAY.THE NEXT ITEM IS THE ITEM NUMBER SEVEN, WHICH IS A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT REQUEST, SUP 26 0 8 0 0 2 2.
THIS IS TO ALLOW ON AUTO DEALER FOR NON FRANCHISE USED AUTOS.
SO THE SUP REQUEST IS FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1 25 NORTHEAST 26TH STREET.
THIS IS GENERALLY LOCATED SLIGHTLY NORTH OF THE EAST MAIN STREET.
THE, UM, THE PROPERTY IS ACCESS FROM THE NORTHEAST 26TH STREET.
SO TO THE LEFT IS THE EXISTING, UH, SITE.
IT, THE SITE CONTAINS A 5,000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING, WHICH IS CURRENTLY USED BY THE APPLICANT FOR HIS, UM, DESIGN BUSINESS.
HE MANUFACTURES TROPHIES, AWARDS, DISPLAY CASES, AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.
UNDER HIS, UH, DESIGN STUDIO, HE WISHES TO, UM, BE ABLE TO, UH, SELL USED CARS AT THIS LOCATION, WHICH REQUIRES A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.
THERE ARE BASED ON, UH, SITE, THIS IS 10 PARKING SPACES AVAILABLE.
HE HAS NO, UH, IMPROVEMENTS OR CHANGES TO THE SITE PROPOSED AT THIS TIME.
HERE'S THE STREET VIEW, KIND OF SHOWING THE EXISTING BUILDING AND THE PAVED SURFACES.
AND HERE'S A PHOTO TAKEN FROM THE STREET SHOWING THE 26TH STREET.
UM, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING THE FOLLOWING VARIANCE, WHICH IS TO THE NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES.
HE IS REQUESTING A VARIANCE TO ALLOW MINIMUM PARKING, UM, VARIANCE TO THE MINIMUM PARKING REQUIREMENT OF 11 SPACES TO ALLOW FIVE PARKING SPACES.
UM, AS DESCRIBED DURING THE STAFF BRIEFING THAT 11 SPACES CALCULATED BASED ON THE PURE SQUARE FOOTAGE,
[00:40:01]
NOT NECESSARILY THE NEED OF THE BUSINESS, WE HAVE SENT 11 NOTICES TO THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES.WE DID RECEIVE ONE LETTER IN OPPOSITION FROM NEAR, UM, NEARBY AUTO BUSINESS SAYING THAT THE, UM, THE PERSON WHO SENT THE LETTER FEELS THAT THERE IS TOO MUCH AUTO USES IN THIS CORRIDOR AND IS OPPOSING THIS SUP REQUEST, WHICH WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE CITY COUNCIL PACKET.
THE LETTER WAS RECEIVED AFTER PACKET HAS BEEN POSTED STAGE.
SO, UM, STEPH HAS DONE SOME ANALYSIS, UM, OF THE PROPOSAL.
THE PROPOSED USE IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN, WHICH CONSISTS PRIMARILY OF COMMERCIAL AND LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USES, INCLUDING ESTABLISHED AUTOMOTIVE RELATED BUSINESS IN THE VICINITY.
THE PROPOSAL WOULD ADD OR USE AUTO DEALER TO AN EXISTING COMMERCIAL PROPERTY AND NOT SUBSTANTIALLY ALTER THE ESTABLISHED COMMERCIAL AND LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USES, INCLUDING OTHER AUTO RELATED BUSINESS ALONG THE CORRIDOR.
AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE AERIAL, UM, THE PROPERTY IS, UM, TO THE SOUTH AND TO THE SOUTHEAST, IS CURRENTLY USED AS A TIRE INSTALLATION AND AUTO SALES.
UM, THE SITE IS NOT ADJACENT TO ANY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND IS SURROUNDED BY, UH, SURROUNDED BY VACANT, UNDEVELOPED OR UNDERUTILIZED COMMERCIAL AND WAREHOUSE PROPERTIES.
THE SUBJECT PROPERTY DOES NOT HAVE DIRECT FRONTAGE ON MAIN STREET.
THE TWO ESTABLISHED AUTOMOTIVE RELATED BUSINESS ARE LOCATED DIRECTLY THE SOUTH.
SHOULD THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMEND APPROVAL, STAFF RECOMMENDS THE FOLLOWING CONDITION.
NUMBER ONE, THE APPROVAL OF THIS SUP WILL ONLY AUTHORIZE, UM, NO MORE THAN OH, JUST THIS AUTO SALES BUSINESS.
AND THE, UH, FIVE PARKING SPACES THAT'S NEEDED FOR EMPLOYEE AND CUSTOMER PARKING SHALL REMAIN AVAILABLE AND THE VEHICLE INVENTORY SHALL BE, UH, STORED ON THE PROPERTY AND NOT IN THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY.

AND NUMBER FIVE, THE BUSINESS SHALL OBTAIN, UM, CO AND A RB PERMIT AS REQUIRED, THE APPLICANT SHALL PROVIDE A PROOF OF GARBAGE SERVICES.
AND NUMBER SEVEN, THE OPERATIONAL SHALL COMPLY WITH ALL THE REGULATIONS PER GRAND PERRY CODE OF ORDINANCES.
THIS CONCLUDES THAT PRESENTATION.
I BELIEVE THE APPLICANT IS HERE.
UM, IS THERE ANY QUESTION FOR STAFF AT THIS TIME? ANY QUESTIONS FOR JUNE? YES, COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ? YES.
FROM A CITY STANDPOINT, HOW WOULD THE CITY ENFORCE THE FIVE PARKINGS DEDICATED FOR? YES, SIR.
THAT IS AN EXCELLENT QUESTION.
SO WE DO HAVE E UH, YEARLY, UH, AUTO RELATED PERMIT INSPECTION FROM PUBLIC HEALTH.
UM, THEY ACTUALLY INSPECT MORE OF A DISPOSAL OF THE WASTE AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.
DURING THAT TIME, IF THEY NOTICE ANY ISSUES WITH PARKING, THEY MAY CALL CODE ENFORCEMENT.
ALSO, CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS, THEY USUALLY DO A DRIVE, DRIVE AROUND OF THE REPORTED AREA.
AND IF SOMEONE CALLS IN AND SAYS, HEY, THERE'S CARS PARKED ALL OVER THE STREET, THEY MAY ACT ON THEIR REPORT AND GO OUT THERE AND CHECK IT.
SO AGAIN, THERE ARE NOT REALLY, UH, YEARLY INSPECTION FROM CODE ENFORCEMENT.
HOWEVER, THEY DO REGULAR DRIVER AROUND OF THEIR AREAS, AND THEY DO ACT ON ANY REPORT FROM ANY CITIZENS, REPRESENTATIVE OWNERS AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU, JAN.

[00:45:01]
PORTION OF EXISTING BUILDING FOR SALES AND ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIVITIES.THERE WILL NO AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR, MECHANICAL WORK, BODY WORK, PAINTING, WELDING, DETAILING OR SALVAGE OPERATION.

OUR INTENTION TO MAINTAIN A VERY CLEAN, ORGANIZED PROFESSION BUSINESS WITH A LIMITED TRAFFIC AND MINIMAL IMPACT OF NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES.
I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR CONSIDERATION APPROVAL FOR SQP.
OKAY, MR. BERT, I HAVE ONE QUESTION BEFORE.
SO I'M ASSUMING MOST OF YOUR BUSINESS IS NOT WALKUP.
PEOPLE COMMISSION YOU TO MAKE TROPHIES AND DISPLAY CASES.
IS THAT HOW IT WORKS? NO, WE ARE MANUFACTURER.
WE HAVE ORDER FROM SCHOOL, UNIVERSITIES, POLICE OR SOMETHING IN A BULK.
WE, THERE IS NO CUSTOMER INTERACTION WITH ME.
SO YOU GET ORDERS AND YOU PROCESS 'EM, CORRECT? CORRECT.
MY QUESTION AGAIN, THANK YOU SIR.
FOR YOUR, FOR YOUR BUSINESS, UH, MANUFACTURING OF DISPLAY BOXES VERSUS, YOU KNOW, AUTO SALES.
WHERE DOES THAT COME FROM THERE? WHAT'S YOUR BUSINESS MODEL THERE? WELL, HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THAT IDEA? I'M JUST CURIOUS.
OKAY, LET ME A LITTLE, A LITTLE FOOT.
I'M A LICENSED INSURANCE AGENT.
I DO MY, UH, BUSINESS FROM MY HOME.
THIS OPERATION IS BEEN OPERATING BY MY SON, HAN SAM.
AND I'M A ALSO TAX CONSULTANT.
SO, UH, APART FROM THERE IS A CURIOSITY TO GROW VERY SMALL, LIKE A BRICK TO BRICK TO MAKE A PALACE, NOT MAKE A PALACE ONCE.
THANK YOU FOR, I MEAN, I CAN SEE THAT ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN YOU TRYING TO DIVERSIFY YOUR BUSINESS.
AND, UH, WE BELONGS, I COME FROM PAKISTAN, SO I BELONGS TO A BUSINESS ORIENTED FAMILY FOR THE LAST 400 YEARS.
IS, IS, UH, SO I'LL ALWAYS, WE LOOK AROUND BUSINESS, WE MOSTLY COMMONLY, IF, IF I GO GO AROUND, IF MY, MY SON COME, CAME TO ME, HEY PAPA, I DO HAVE A FULL COMPANIES.
SO I SPENT 5,000, $6,000 TO ONLY TO FILE A TAX RETURN.
SO IN, IN GET TO ORDER ENROLLED BY ENROLLED BY, UH, ENROLLED AGENT, BY MYSELF, I SAVE MY MONEY AT MY HOME AND ALL 5, 10, 20 RETURNS I FILED BY MYSELF.
SO MOST OF THE TIME IS A VERY SMALL EFFORT TO MAKE, BECOME A BUSINESSMAN.
FOUR, FIVE CARS MAKE A GOOD BUSINESS.
COMMISSIONER CHAPMAN? UH, YES SIR.
HOW ARE YOU GONNA SECURE THESE VEHICLES? ARE YOU THINKING FENCING? EXACTLY.
SO ON THE CORNER OF THIS BUILDING MM-HMM
WE WILL TAKE A FENCE TO OVER THE, HERE AND HERE IS A BLOCKED, SO THERE IS NO ENTRANCE EXCEPT THEN THIS ONE, THE ROAD INSIDE WITHIN A, UH, DRUM, UH, DRUM DUMPSTER.
SO ONLY I CUT CLOSE A STRAIGHT 90 DEGREE ANGLE AND FENCE IS FINISHED.
AND ONE OTHER QUESTION, WHAT IS YOUR ADVERTISING PLAN TO NO, NO ADVERTISING PLAN.
HOW YOU GONNA SELL THEM ALL? ALL AREA 360.
THEY ARE CUSTOMERS FOR BUYING THE CARS.
AH, EVERY TIME THE CUSTOMERS ARE, EVERY TIME THEY, AND IF YOU LOOK AT THEM AND ME, I, I IF DO I HAVE A FIVE CLEAN CARS WITHIN GOOD TITLE I, I KNOW I CAN TELL YOU'RE MOVING THEM.
YOU SOLD ME A CAR,
MAYBE I SOLD, MAYBE I SOLD A TROPHY, LIKE A SOMETHING BAD SOMETHING AND PUT IT ON YOUR TABLE.
THE, THE NAME PLATE OR THE ONE GOOD IDEA.
IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING LIKE A SIGNATURE, I CAN PRINT OUT YOUR SIGNATURE AND CUT IT INTO ACRYLIC AND YOU PUT IT ON YOUR TABLE.
NOT A BANK SIGNATURE, JUST YOUR SIGNATURE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? UH, JANIE, DO YOU HAVE ONE QUESTION? SO JUST OUTTA CURIOSITY, UM, I HAVE TOO SO MANY DRAFT YEAH.

I WAS THINKING HE WAS GONNA FILL UP ALL 3000
[00:50:01]
CASES.I THINK HE'S, HE'S THINKING ABOUT JUST FILLING UP FIVE OF 'EM AND THE OTHER ONLY FIVE.
I'M, I'M, IT DIDN'T STICK TO, HAVEN'T MY, I WAS THINKING HE WAS TAKING THE THOSE.
COMMISSIONER LOCKHART, HAVE YOU THOUGHT THROUGH FINANCING AND TITLING AND NO.
I THINK IT MEANS, MEANS FOR CUSTOMERS.
CARRIER IS A REGISTERED LICENSE COMPANY? NO, NO.
OKAY, I, THIS IS I BELIEVE JANIE JANIE'S DISTRICT.
YOU BROUGHT UP A GOOD POINT ABOUT THE NUMBER OF CARS, RIGHT? MM-HMM
I WONDER IF IT WOULD BE PERMISSIBLE.
WE CAN ASK JULIE TO CAP THE SUP AT FIVE CARS FOR SALE AT ANY ONE TIME.
'CAUSE WHAT YOU DON'T WANNA DO IS HAVE 10 CARS FOR SALE AND THEN PEOPLE START PARKING OUT ON THE STREET.
YEAH, BECAUSE THE OTHER TWO WERE FOR ONE THAT IS CONDITION NUMBER TWO IN THE STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS.
YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO AGREE WITH THAT.
SO THANK YOU JUNE FOR POINTING THAT OUT.
OKAY, SO NOTHING FURTHER FOR DISCUSSION.
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? MY THOUGHTS? I'M READY TO MAKE A MOTION.
I MOVE TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM SEVEN SUP 2 6 0 8 0 0 2 2.

UM, THE PROPERTY IS IN OVERLAY DISTRICTS.
IT IS ZONED PD 2 94 AND CONSISTS OF SLIGHTLY OVER ONE ACRE.
HERE IS AN AERIAL VIEW SHOWING THE PROPOSED LOCATION IN YELLOW.
YOU CAN SEE IT IS IN RELATIVE PROXIMITY TO TOP GOLF.
ON THE SOUTHERN SIDE IS BASS PRO SHOP.
THERE IS RETAIL AND RESTAURANT LOCATED JUST NORTH OF THE SITE.
AND THEN OF COURSE THE HIGHWAY.
SO THE PROPOSED JUICE IS A 2,523 SQUARE FOOT WHITE CASTLE RESTAURANT.
IT WILL HAVE A 270 SQUARE FOOT OUTDOOR DINING PATIO.
A DUAL LANE DRIVE THROUGH INDOOR DINING ROOM WITH SEATING FOR 21 GUESTS.
AND THAT OUTDOOR PATIO HAS SEATING FOR 10 THE PROPOSED HOURS OF OPERATION 24 HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK.
WHITE CASTLE TYPICALLY EMPLOYEES ABOUT 65 TOTAL EMPLOYEES WITH ABOUT 10 EMPLOYEES PER SHIFT AND THEIR DELIVERIES OCCUR DURING OFF PEAK HOURS.
YOU CAN SEE THEIR BUILDING AND COVERED PATIO IN BLUE.
UM, THEY DO MEET THE DENSITY AND DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS.
THEY ARE EXCEEDING THAT PARKING MAXIMUM THAT JUNE TALKED ABOUT WITH THE PIZZERIA.
THEY ARE ALLOWED AT MAXIMUM OF NINE SPACES.
AND TO COMPENSATE FOR THAT, THEY DID SELECT PERMEABLE PAVING AND ARE PROPOSING 11 PERMEABLE PAVED PARKING SPOTS THAT YOU CAN SEE HERE SHOWN IN PURPLE.
[00:55:01]
PLAN.BY AND LARGE, THEY DO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR LANDSCAPING.
THEY DO HAVE ABOUT 55 LINEAR FEET OF A PEDESTRIAN WALKWAY.
YOU CAN SEE THAT WALKWAY HERE KIND OF ON THE NORTHERN SIDE.
THAT WALKWAY REQUIRES THREE TREES.
THEY'RE REQUESTING TO PUT NO TREES ALONG THERE.
UM, BUT THEY ARE COMPENSATING BY ADDING SEVERAL ADDITIONAL FIVE GALLON SHRUBS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SITE.
HERE ARE SOME BUILDING ELEVATIONS.
THE WESTERN ELEVATION IS THE PRIMARY ELEVATION.
IT IS THE ELEVATION THAT FACES 1 61 SERVICE ROAD.
YOU HAVE THE EASTERN ELEVATION.
NORTHERN SOUTHERN HERE IS A RENDERING.
THE PROPOSAL DOES MEET THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS, UH, BY PROVIDING 12 MENU ITEMS FOR APPENDIX F.
THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING SOME VARIANCES.
NUMBER ONE, TWO, THAT MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES, AS I MENTIONED, THEY'RE ALLOWED A MAXIMUM OF NINE.
THEY'RE PROPOSING TO ALLOW 28.
THEY ARE PROVIDING 1111 PERMEABLE PARKING SPACES TO COMPENSATE THE PEDESTRIAN WALKWAY TREES.
THEY WOULD LIKE A VARIANCE TO PROVIDE NO PEDESTRIAN WALKWAY TREES, WHICH WOULD BE A REQUIRED THREE FOR THE 55 LINEAR FEET OF THE WALKWAY.
THEY ARE REQUESTING A VARIANCE TO THE OVERALL WINDOWS.
UM, THE REQUIREMENT IS THAT WINDOWS ACCOUNT FOR 50% OF THE LENGTH OF ALL FOUR FACADES.
AND THEY ARE REQUESTING TO ALLOW THE BUILDING TO BE CONSTRUCTED WITH WINDOWS THAT ACCOUNT FOR 32% OF THE LENGTH OF ALL FACADES.
THE FOURTH VARIANCE IS REGARDING STREET FACING WINDOWS.
THEY ARE REQUESTING A VARIANCE TO THE REQUIREMENT THAT WINDOWS ACCOUNT FOR 30% OF THE AREA OF ALL STREET FACING FACADES.
IN THIS CASE, IT IS THAT WESTERN FACADE TO ALLOW THE BUILDING TO BE CONSTRUCTED WITH WINDOWS THAT ACCOUNT FOR 29.4% OF THE STREET FACING FACADE.

THEY ARE REQUESTING A VARIANCE TO THE, THE APPENDIX F REQUIREMENT OF A MAXIMUM OF 20% OF ANY BUILDING FACADE TO HAVE ALUMINUM COMPOSITE MATERIAL OR POLISHED METAL ACCENTS TO ALLOW THE WEST, NORTH AND EAST FACADES TO HAVE A CM ACCENTS THAT EXCEED 20%.

AND FINALLY, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A VARIANCE TO THE APPENDIX F REQUIREMENT THAT EXTERIOR COLORS BE LOW REFLECTANCE, SUBTLE NEUTRAL OR EARTH TONE COLORS.
AND THAT HIGH INTENSITY PRIMARY BLACK OR FLUORESCENT COLORS MAY ONLY BE USED FOR ACCENT AREAS.
AND THOSE ACCENT COLORS SHALL NOT EXCEED 10% OF ANY SINGLE FACADE TO ALLOW THE SOUTHERN FACADE TO BE CONSTRUCTED WITH 12.1%.
THE STAFF ANALYSIS, I'M GONNA KEEP IT SHORT THIS TIME, YOU, UM, HAVE THE REST OF THEM IN YOUR PACKET.
SO, UM, DOES THE PROPOSAL ADVANCE THE CITY'S VISION? THE CITY'S FUTURE LAND USE MAP DESIGNATES THIS PROPERTY FOR COMMERCIAL RETAIL OFFICE.
THE PROPOSED RESTAURANT IS CONSISTENT WITH THIS DESIGNATION AND THE EPICENTER PLANS IH 20 CORRIDOR STRATEGY SUPPORT COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY AND ENCOURAGE USES THAT INCREASE CUSTOMER ACTIVITY AND COMPLEMENT EXISTING COMMERCIAL ANCHORS.
THE PROPOSED RESTAURANT WOULD ADD A COMPLIMENTARY COMMERCIAL USE ADJACENT TO EXISTING ANCHORS, INCLUDING TOPGOLF.
UM, IS THE PROPOSAL COMPATIBLE WITH ITS
THE SITE FRONTS ON SH 1 61 SERVICE ROAD, IT IS SURROUNDED BY COMMERCIAL AND RETAIL USES, INCLUDING RESTAURANTS, RETAIL, BASS, PRO SHOP, AND TOPGOLF.
THE EPICENTER PLAN IDENTIFIES AREAS ALONG SH 1 61 AND IH 20 AS PART OF A HIGHWAY ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT CONTEXT THAT PRIORITIZES REGIONAL MOBILITY AND COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY.
THE PROPOSED RESTAURANT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE EXISTING NON-RESIDENTIAL CHARACTER OF THE SURROUNDING SITE.
STAFF SENT SIX NOTICES TO SURROUNDING PROPERTIES.
WE RECEIVED ZERO IN FAVOR AND ZERO OPPOSED.
SHOULD THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST? STAFF RECOMMENDS THE FOLLOWING CONDITION.
THE 11 PARKING SPACES IDENTIFIED AS PERMEABLE PAVING ON THE SITE PLAN SHALL BE DESIGNATED, DESIGNED, PARDON ME, CONSTRUCTED AND MAINTAINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE PERMEABLE PAVING STANDARDS IN ARTICLE EIGHT AND APPENDIX F OF THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE, INCLUDING THE NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENT'S INTEGRATED STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
[01:00:01]
PROGRAM.MR. CHAIR, COMMISSIONERS, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? ANY QUESTIONS FOR AARON? OKAY, SO, OH, WAIT A MINUTE.
AS YOU WERE PRESENTING, UM, WITH THE TREES, THE THREE TREES, YES.
THEIR NEIGHBORS, DO THEY HAVE TREES? TOP GOLF, UM, BASS PRO, I'M GONNA GO BACK SO THAT WE CAN ALL LOOK TOGETHER.
THIS PICTURE DOES A TERRIBLE JOB SHOWING THAT THERE ARE TREES.
UM, I THINK THAT THE TOPGOLF SITE PROBABLY HAS A LIMITED NUMBER OF LARGE TREES DUE TO THE NATURE OF THAT USE.
UM, I HAVE BEEN TO THE RESTAURANTS IN RETAIL HERE NORTH AND THERE ARE SOME NICE TREES AND SOME SHRUBS.
THE APPLICANT HAS A REPRESENTATIVE HERE, SO IF YOU ALL HAVE QUESTIONS FOR THEM, THEY'RE AVAILABLE.
TY, IS IT WORTH SPEAKING TO THE REP? I JUST WANNA KNOW WHY, WHY THREE TREES? ONLY THREE.
UM, SO WE HAVE ONE CARD, UH, FROM THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE, JACOB CROY, WHO DOESN'T WISH TO SPEAK BUT WANTS TO KNOW HIS SUPPORT.
I THOUGHT HE WAS WILLING TO SPEAK IF WE HAVE SOME QUESTIONS.
UH, IT SAYS HE DOESN'T WISH TO SPEAK, BUT MR. CROQUE, DO YOU WANNA SPEAK IF THEY HAVE QUESTIONS? QUESTIONS? OKAY.
IT WAS A RHETORICAL QUESTION ANYWAY.
UH, JACOB CROCKY, I LIVE AT 5 9 6 8 HAYDEN'S CROSSING BOULEVARD, DUBLIN, OHIO.
UM, QUESTIONS REGARDING THE TREES ALONG THE FRONTAGE? THE ISSUE THAT, AND I'M THE CIVIL REPRESENTATIVE ON IT.
UH, I SPOKE WITH OUR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT AND IT SEEMED THAT THE ISSUE WAS, UH, ALONG THE FRONT THERE TO THE WEST, THERE IS A 15 FOOT UTILITY EASEMENT.
AND THEN I GUESS IT'S NOT SHOWN ON THIS LANDSCAPING PLAN HERE, BUT, UH, TO THE PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION TO THE RIGHT OF WAY THERE, UM, THERE IS A MONUMENT SIGN THAT'S NOT CALLED OUT ON THIS ONE, BUT, UM, WE FELT THAT IF WE WERE TO ADD IN THOSE THREE TREES, THAT IT WOULD END UP BLOCKING THAT SIGNAGE FROM THE RIGHT OF WAY.
THE SIGN THAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT IS RIGHT THERE.
IS THAT, WAS THIS SOME SORT OF HISTORICAL SITE OR WAS WHAT, WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY MONUMENT SIGN? I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT, UH, IT MAY JUST BE A DIFFERENT, JUST THE WHITE CASTLE SIGNAGE FOR THE SITE.
A MONUMENT IS A GROUND LEVEL SIGN THAT SHOWED WHAT, WHAT? OH, I GOTCHA.
IT HAS TO DO WITH WHITE CASTLE.
IT'S NOT A TEXAS HISTORICAL NO, THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING IT WAS.
SO WOULDN'T THOSE TWO TREES RIGHT BESIDE IT BE BLOCKING IT? YOU GOT TWO TREES IN THE PICTURE DIRECTLY TO THE NORTHWEST.
I, I THINK IT'S, IT WOULD BE HINDERING THE VISIBILITY SLIGHTLY.
UM, BUT I GUESS IT'S JUST TRYING NOT TO OVER LANDSCAPE THAT AREA WITH TREES TO FURTHER BLOCK THAT SIGNAGE.
I AGREE WITH YOU
AND, AND YOU, IF, IF AARON HAD SAID THAT YOUR NEIGHBORS DIDN'T HAVE THEM, I WOULDN'T ASK YOU ABOUT THEM.
BUT THE FACT NOW YOU'RE OUT OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE REST OF THE PEOPLE AND THE TREES.
SO IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN SPEAK ABOUT AS FAR AS A CONSIDERATION? IF WE CAN, WE GET THREE TREES SOMEWHERE.
IT'S NOT TECHNICALLY MY EXPERTISE.
THAT IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING I WILL BRING BACK OUR LANDSCAPE.
YOU'RE OHIO, SO WE'LL TAKE THAT AS
I WILL, I'LL DEFINITELY TALK TO MARK.
NO, I MEAN, I THINK PEOPLE ARE EXCITED, BUT I THINK COMMISSIONER CHAPMAN BRINGS UP A GOOD POINT ABOUT YOU.
YOU WANNA LOOK LIKE YOUR NEIGHBORS TREES ARE A GOOD THING.
UM, YOU KNOW, IF, IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU COULD FIT THEM IN, BUT THEY, THEY AGREED TO ADD ADDITIONAL SHRUBBERY, RIGHT? YEAH.
I THINK INSTEAD OF THE THREE TREES, I THOUGHT THAT'S WITH THE, I THINK IT WAS A FIVE GALLON SHRUBS.
BUT DO THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO THAT, AARON? OR IS IT JUST AN OFFERING THAT THEY'RE MAKING? OKAY, SO IT'S NOT, THEY CAN'T, THEY'RE NOT, THEY DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY, HEY, WE DON'T WANNA DO THREE TREES.
WE'D RATHER DO THESE FIVE GALLON SHRUBS INSTEAD.
IT'S JUST A COMPENSATORY MEASURE.
YOU'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE THAT VARIANCE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, JANIE? HMM.
I JUST, I MEAN, I AGREE WITH THEM 'CAUSE IT'S
[01:05:01]
GONNA BLOCK THEIR SIGN.THEY, I MEAN, IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ALREADY HAVE TWO THERE THAT IT'S GONNA BLOCK THE VIEW.
AND SO I THOUGHT THE SHRUBBERY WAS A GOOD COMPROMISE.
MINES, I MEAN, ADDING ADDITIONAL SHRUBBERY WHAT THEY WERE DOING.
SO KEEP IN MIND ALSO THAT THEY, THEY NOTED THAT THERE'S AN EASEMENT ALONG THAT FRONTAGE, SO THE TREES WOULDN'T BE ALLOWED IN WITHIN THAT EASEMENT.
UM, THE SIGN IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT, BUT, UH, ONE THING YOU, THEY COULD DO, UM, EITHER IN ADDITION TO THE SHRUBS OR, UM, IN LIEU OF THE SHRUBS IS, UH, JUST PLACE THE TREES ELSEWHERE SOMEWHERE ON SITE.
THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING.
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ALONG THE STREET, STREET FOOTAGE.
BUT THE SHRUBS WILL BE A NICE AD.
UM, JUST BLOCKING HEADLIGHTS, HIDDEN PARKING.
THAT'S, THAT'S THE WHOLE INTENT.
I THINK THAT THAT'S A GOOD ROLE FOR THE SHRUBS.
BUT IF YOU'RE, I, I THINK WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS RASHAD, THAT THOSE TWO TREES COULD BE ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE SITE.
NOT NECESSARILY IN THE PART OF THE EASEMENT THING.
AND I MEAN, NOT TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF MY LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT, I DON'T WANNA GET MAD AT ME, BUT, UH, WE DID HAVE THE ASSUMPTION THAT THOSE TREES DID NEED TO BE PLACED ALONG THE FRONTAGE.
OBVIOUSLY IF YOU LOOK AT THE LANDSCAPING PLAN TOWARD THE REAR, UH, TO THE EAST, I THINK WE DO HAVE ROOM TO PLACE THOSE.
UH, I THINK IT WAS MORE SO THE ASSUMPTION ON OUR PART THAT THOSE DID HAVE TO BE PLACED UP BY THAT PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION.
SO THAT, THAT, IF YOU WANNA, IF YOU WANNA BRING IN THAT AS A CONDITION THAT THEY PLANT THE THREE TREES SOMEWHERE ELSE ON THE SITE.
I, YOU KNOW, HERE'S THE THING.
I'M, I JUST WANT IT TO BE, UM, THE CONTINUITY TO BE THERE.
SO IF YOUR NEIGHBORS HAVE DONE THEIR DUE DILIGENCE AND THEY HAVE TREES ON THEIR LOCATION, I THINK IF YOU'RE COMING IN, I THINK THE SHRUBS ARE GREAT.
AND I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO KEEP THE SHRUBS TOO, BECAUSE I THINK IT'LL BE BEAUTIFUL ALL THE WAY AROUND.
BUT I DO THINK YOU SHOULD DO THE TREES TOO.
AND IF IT MEANS RELOCATING THEM, IT'S THREE TREES.
SO, UM, YEAH, I THINK THE THREE TREES SHOULD BE THERE.
WOULD YOU BE OKAY WITH THAT AND KEEPING ALL THE SHRUBS THAT YOU HAVE DESIGNATED? I BELIEVE SO.
THAT, THAT KEEPS HER HAPPY AND IT KEEPS JEANIE HAPPY AND THEN EVERYBODY'S HAPPY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MR. WHITE? ARE YOU GUYS THE PEOPLE WITH THE HOLES IN THE HAMBURGERS? NO, THEY'RE THE LITTLE ONES.
AND THEY MADE A MOVIE ABOUT YEAH.
WHITE JA DIDN'T THEY? KUMAR AND YEAH, THERE YOU GO.
NOW, IS THIS YOUR FIRST RESTAURANT HERE IN TEXAS? BECAUSE I KNOW YOU'RE PRIMARILY IN THE MIDWEST, RIGHT? OR YOU KNOW, UP NORTH? UH, YEAH, WE HAVE, UH, A LOT IN THE MIDWEST.
UM, WE HAD ONE THAT IS ACTUALLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
I WENT OUT ON SITE TODAY, UH, UP IN THE COLONY.
UH, AND CONSTRUCTION IS SET FOR THE SIXTH OF NEXT MONTH.
UH, AND THEN WE HAVE THIS ONE HERE IN GRAND PRAIRIE.
WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE, UH, ONGOING IN FORT WORTH AND ANOTHER ONE IN, OH MY GOODNESS, WHY AM I BLANKING? I'M THINKING THOSE ARE JUST THE THREE.
I'M THINKING OF FLORIDA JOBS AS WELL.
AND WELL, THE, IT'S 24 HOURS, WHICH IS IMPRESSIVE.
UM, IS IT INSIDE DINING 24 HOURS OR JUST DRIVE THROUGH 24 HOURS? I, I CANNOT CONFIDENTLY ANSWER THAT QUESTION.
UM, DO YOU WANT ME TO HELP YOU IN CHICAGO? DO YOU KNOW THE DRIVE THROUGH IS OPEN 24 HOURS? YEAH, I WOULD, IMA I WOULD IMAGINE IT WOULD BE DRIVE THROUGH, BUT DON'T WANNA GIVE THE WRONG INFORMATION.
IS IT MOSTLY TO GO, 'CAUSE I SAW THE 21 INSIDE DINING, IT SEEMS RATHER LOW OR 28 PARKING SEATS.
SO MOST PEOPLE JUST TAKING THE SLIDERS TO GO, OR I THINK THAT'S THE MAJORITY OF THEIR BUSINESS.
I I CAN'T SPEAK ON THE OPERATIONS OF IT, BUT I THINK THE MAJORITY OF IT IS DRIVE-THROUGH IS WHERE A LOT OF THEIR BUSINESS IS COMING FROM.
OR JUST AS FAR AS PEOPLE COMING IN AND SITTING DOWN? IS THAT THE QUESTION? YEAH.
AND I'M THINKING ABOUT RESTAURANTS THAT'S LIKE FOUR OR FIVE FAMILIES.
BUT YEAH, ONCE AGAIN, I, I CAN'T SPEAK ON IT.
I WOULD IMAGINE THAT WITH HOW MANY ARE GOING ON? I, I THINK THEY HAVE THE NUMBER.
I WOULD THINK PRETTY DIALED IN WITH THAT, BUT OKAY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO, THANK YOU, SIR.
WE'RE HAPPY WE'RE GETTING ONE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH WITH TREES AND SHRUBS,
