He stated the hours allow for more flexibility and are consistent with the businesses in the area. Commissioner Duffy questioned Mr. Tamer if there will be some type of security provided? Mr. Tamer replied he would have to have security because of the number of people that could be present during an event.

He stated the reception facility or catering use could continue. Commissioner Redfearn stated the hours of operation in section 4 of the proposed ordinance are only provided in accordance with the acceptable uses noted in section 2a and 2b of the draft ordinance.

TABLED AGENDA ITEMS 8a Approval of a request for a zoning change from R20-Single Family Residential to PUDC-Planned Unit Development Commercial on 0.5 acres on Tract 4A01A, Abstract 936 of the Joseph M. Looney Survey located at 1100 Glade Road, Case Z-07-029 Commissioner Knox moved to remove this item from the table. Commissioner Phelps seconded. The motion carried by the following vote: City of Colleyville Page 4 Printed on 9/25/2007 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -Final September 10, 2007 Aye: 6 -Knox, Redfearn, Taylor, Phelps, Duffy, Byerly Absent: 1 - Dudziak Chris Fuller presented the case and briefed the Commission. Ben Thompson, the applicant, came forward to present the update and brief the Commission. Commissioner Redfearn questioned Mr. Thompson regarding what is specifically different between this site plan and the one that was previously submitted? Mr. Thompson replied the access on Oak Timbers was removed and have provided one entrance and exit off of Glade Road. Commissioner Duffy stated understanding the Glade Road entrance, however, he stated that is a dangerous location. He stated the loop around the building could exit off of Oak Timbers. He stated he could not support the exit and entrance from Glade Road. Mr. Thompson stated there is not enough of a turn radius for the entrance on Oak Timbers. Commissioner Duffy stated the angles could be adjusted to accommodate the entrance and exit from Oak Timbers. Mr. Thompson stated staff did not support the entrance or exit on Oak Timbers. Commissioner Knox questioned Mr. Thompson regarding what is the distance from the new entry point to the intersection? Mr. Thompson replied about 120 feet. Commissioner Phelps questioned Fire Marshal McKeown regarding if the northwest entrance would have to be 24 feet wide as well? Marshal McKeown replied yes. Commissioner Phelps questioned Marshal McKeown if he saw any issues with regards to the turning radius? Marshal McKeown replied not liking to have to back out of the property, however, they would be able to access the property from that point. Discussion occurred between Mr. Thompson and the Commission regarding the location of the entrance and exit on Oak Timbers Court. Commissioner Duffy stated with only five cars on the site, at one time, there is no such thing as a traffic jam. Commissioner Phelps suggested making the driveway on Oak Timbers wider than the 24 feet to make it easier to access the property. Commissioner Taylor suggested removing the Glade Road entrance and using the money that would have been spent for that entrance to double the width of the Oak Timbers driveway. City of Colleyville Page 5 Printed on 9/25/2007 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -Final September 10, 2007 Mr. Thompson stated he wanted what ever is necessary to make the engineering design so that he may complete his project. Chris Fuller stated the removal of the driveway at the driveway approach on Glade Road and the addition of a driveway on Oak Timbers Court is in compliance or near compliance with the code would garner staff support. He stated staff was looking for compliance, not approval or disapproval. He stated as proposed, staff would support it. Commissioner Byerly questioned staff regarding if the entrance on Glade Road was approved in the draft ordinance because it is in compliance? Chris Fuller replied at the time of the original submittal, the Oak Timbers driveway was much closer to the intersection, which staff did not support. He stated staff would support the Oak Timbers driveway as near to what is being proposed at this meeting. Commissioner Byerly questioned staff regarding if staff would support the driveway placement to be behind the existing structure? Chris Fuller replied it should be close enough. Commissioner Knox questioned engineering staff regarding their input for the driveway placement? Mr. Hutt replied the existing driveway is in compliance so if the entrance is located at the existing driveway or further north, then it would still be in compliance. Commissioner Phelps questioned Mr. Hutt if the driveway placement takes into consideration the future expansion of Glade Road? Mr. Hutt replied 10 feet would be lost by expanding Glade Road, therefore placing the driveway further north would help the compliance of the driveway placement. Discussion occurred between the Commission and Mr. Thompson regarding more recommendations for driveway placement. Commissioner Phelps stated the property adjacent to the subject property will also require cross access, in the future, that may help with this project and will help to gain access from Glade Road. Mr. Thompson stated he would like a favorable approval as he has worked with the Engineering department and staff for compliance with the placement of the driveway. Commissioner Knox questioned Engineering staff regarding how far out of compliance is this from the center of Oak Timbers to the center of this proposed driveway on Glade Road? Mr. Hutt replied the code requires about 180 or 185 feet, but not sure. He stated the frontage of the City of Colleyville Page 6 Printed on 9/25/2007 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -Final September 10, 2007 property is about 114, so it is significantly less. Commissioner Taylor stated there being so much discussion because of the fear for the safety of the citizens coming on and off of Glade Road. Mrs. Thompson stated being in shock that Glade Road was not going to be an option for their entrance. Mr. Thompson discussed with Mr. Hutt and stated the current proposal would not be in compliance. Mr. Hutt replied he would not be able to draw the driveway at this point, however, he would need to see a revised drawing. Commissioner Byerly moved to approve case Z-07-029 per staff's draft ordinance with no entrance off of Glade Road and that an entrance on Oak Timbers be at or north of the current entrance. Commissioner Duffy seconded. Commissioner Duffy suggested that the applicant get with staff regarding the Oak Timbers entrance and placement. Commissioner Byerly stated if the parking has to be moved to the back of the property to make the placement of the entrance work, the applicant may make those changes and the motion would remain the same. City Attorney Kallas stated an amended site plan would need to be submitted before going to City Council that would comply with these recommendations. He stated if no substantial changes are made, the site plan will not have to have to come back to the Commission. The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 6 -Knox, Redfearn, Taylor, Phelps, Duffy, Byerly Absent: 1 - Dudziak 9.
