Mr. Hicks addressed the items pulled from consent
Commissioners expressed many concerns regarding excess parking and the lack of open space
and landscaping. Commissioners asked questions regarding parking ratios for the proposed uses
and if there could be maximums placed on the parking.
Mr. Page stated that maximum parking ratios would have had to be established with the zoning
for the property for this to be enforced.
The applicant, Krishna Nimmagadda, and Mike Martinie with Spiars Engineering explained that
the primary goal was to receive approval of a conveyance plat and the preliminary site plan. They
assured the Commission that they will only build the parking that is required for the use of the
building, allowing for more open space and landscaping.
Mr. Hoover stated there is nothing preventing the applicant from building two to three story
buildings, which would require more parking if that occurred. This should be taken into
consideration as they go forward, and the parking must be adequate for the proposed use.
Mr. Page stated there are certain rights being granted with the approval of a Preliminary Site Plan,
but it does not include the right to construct the buildings. There will be further steps in the
development process that will provide additional details to the site. Mr. Hoover further commented
that additional detail would be provided further into the development process that would modify
the amount of landscaping, parking, etc.
Mr. Page advised to determine whether the Preliminary Site Plan at this time complies with the
ordinances in place that govern this site.
Mr. Hoover noted that there is a time limit of two years on an approved Preliminary Site Plan.
Commissioner Harris made a motion to approve Items 3e and 3f. The motion was seconded by
Commissioner Blanscet. The motion was carried by a vote of 4-3 with Commissioners Jackson,
Hamilton, and Furay in opposition.
CITIZEN COMMENTS
No comments were made.
REGULAR AGENDA:
4. Conduct a Public Hearing and consider and act upon a request for a Specific Use
Permit for a Drive -Through Restaurant on Frontier Retail Center Revised, Block A,
Lots 1-2, on 2.8± acres, located on the east side of Dallas Parkway and 800± feet
south of Frontier Parkway. (ZONE-24-0021)
Dakari Hill made a presentation about the item and answered questions from the Commission.
The applicant, Priya Archarya with Wier & Associates, presented a PowerPoint detailing
landscape and traffic flow. She indicated that if the drive -through lanes were shifted to the other
side of the building, the driveway access points to the site would be closer to Dallas Parkway.
Matt Moore, representing DNT Landowner, stated that he had been working with Town Staff and
Chick-Fil-A. He stated that he understood the requirements and site constraints but had to work
with HEB's requirements for the site. This is the only layout HEB would approve for Chick-Fil-A to

be able to come to this shopping center. Traffic is a significant concern by the shopping center
owner, and we have been very sensitive to those concerns which lead us to this orientation.
Mr. Hoover stated that Staff would not allow direct access to the drive -through right off Dallas
Parkway. Mr. Hoover explained that Staff would not object to the proposal provided that the
Commission finds the proposed landscaping to be sufficient to screen the drive -through lanes.
The Commission unanimously expressed that they understood the reason for Staff's
recommendation and emphasized the importance of adhering to Town regulations. However, they
also expressed that certain cases require more in-depth evaluation. In this case, the Commission
stated that the enhancement of the landscaping to screen the drive -through lanes met the intent
of the ordinance even though it was not compliant with the regulation.
Commissioner Hamilton made a motion to approve Item 4 subject to the enhanced landscaping
as presented tonight as the minimum required. The landscaping installed shall fulfill the purpose
of blocking the view of the drive -through. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Jackson.
The motion was carried unanimously by a vote of 7-0.
8. Review actions taken by the Town Council and possibly direct Town Staff to
schedule topic(s) for discussion at a future meeting.
Mr. Hill informed the Commissioners of the past Town Council actions and upcoming cases for
Planning & Zoning Commission action.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:08 p.m.
