Commissioner Byerly opened the public hearing at 7:13 p.m. Jimmy Archie, the applicant, came forward to present the case and brief the Commissioners. He stated they want to maintain the tree line median with angled parking. Commissioner Phelps questioned Mr. Archie regarding if he has a presentation that would show the alternate 14 foot width with a 3 1/2 foot median with a less than 45 degree angled parking? Mr. Archie replied with the 45 degree angled parking they have a 12 foot width with a 3 1/2 foot median. Commissioner Phelps questioned Mr. Archie regarding if there is a certain degree of angled parking that they desire that would allow for the 14 foot width clearance? Mr. Archie stated with a 37 1/2 degree angle, it would allow fora 6 1/2 foot median with a 12 foot drive lane. He stated they would probably have a 35 or 26 degree angle to accommodate the 14 foot drive lane. Commissioner Dudziak questioned Mr. Archie regarding if the median has been considered to be removed? Mr. Archi e replied no, they would like for the tree line median to remain for the development. Commissioner Dudziak questioned Mr. Archie if they would consider removing the median. Mr. Archie replied no, they desire to have a median. Commissioner Byerly questioned Mr. Archie regarding if the Fire Marshal has been advised of the new plans? Mr. Archie replied the new plan would not really change the way the drive lane is currently. He stated he thought they could accommodate the Fire Marshal's request. City of Colleyville Page 3 Printed on 4/29/2008 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -Final April 14, 2008 Commissioner Redfearn questioned Mr. Archie regarding the rational driving the request for the change and the rational driving the request to retain the tree line median? Mr. Archie replied the rational to the request is to add more parking spaces in front of the shops. He stated patrons prefer to pull in and out of an angled parking space rather than to parallel park. He stated the tree line boulevard is more pedestrian friendly that will provide shade and is more aesthetically pleasing. Commissioner Byerly questioned Mr. Archie regarding if the median will be large enough to accommodate the growth of the trees? Mr. Archie replied they have trees along the sidewalks as well as in the middle to create the canopy of shade for the pedestrians. Commissioner Phelps stated there will be issues with angled parking having blind spots for leaving the parking spaces. He stated this main entrance is very busy. He questioned Mr. Archie if the angled parking has been considered for another street in the village development? Mr. Archie replied they do not anticipate it being a safety concern or issue. Commissioner Dudziak questioned Mr. Archie regarding if some of the walking space on the sidewalks would be lost due to the angled parking? Mr. Archie replied no so, there will be a curb stop that will keep the cars from parking too close to the sidewalk. There being no one wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed at 7:25 p.m. Fire Marshal Rob McKeown replied only being able to comment on what was presented for review, not what was presented by Mr. Archie during tonight's meeting. He stated not being comfortable with anything less than what is currently in place. He presented pictures to the Commission regarding what is currently in place to show the distances between the cars and the work space that is available. Commissioner Phelps questioned Marshal McKeown regarding if there is a significant difference between the angled parking versus the parallel parking? Marshal McKeown replied it would be easier to work with as far as width. He stated he does have issues with the blind spot when backing a vehicle from and angled parking space. He stated he would like to have a chance to look at this more. Commissioner Dudziak stated to Marshal McKeown with 14 feet, there is not a lot of extra room to work for an actual fire. Marshal McKeown concurred. Commissioner Dudziak stated even a 15 or 16 foot width would be tight. He questioned Marshal McKeown if he would be comfortable with the 14 foot that is currently in place? Marshal City of Colleyville Page 4 Printed on 4/29/2008 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -Final April 14, 2008 McKeown replied not being comfortable with what is currently in place, however, what is currently in place was approved a long time ago. He stated he is not comfortable with anything less than 31 feet curb back to curb back; however, this is what was approved. Commissioner Dudziak moved to deny case Z-08-014. Commissioner Phelps seconded. Commissioner Byerly stated not agreeing with the denial. He stated staff could work with the applicant with regards to the Fire Marshal's comments. Commissioner Redfearn concurred with Commissioner Byerly. He stated being open to giving a little more time to the applicant with a proposal on the table with a smaller median with wider access. He stated the applicant can bring this back with modifications. Commissioner Phelps stated the modified language does not give the Fire Marshal due diligence to revisit the request. He stated not being in favor of changing the language on the fly. Commissioner Byerly disagreed. He stated being in favor of taking out the language of the medians to accommodate the Fire Marshal with angled parking permissible with a 14 foot drive lane with the Fire Marshal's approval. He stated this would give the Fire Marshal the ability to approve or deny the plan. Commissioner Dudziak disagreed. He stated the motion for denial is based on the fact that this is being done on somewhat on the fly and that the Fire Marshal has to be given ample time for review. He stated this should not be given up to staff. Commissioner Byerly stated he is giving the Fire Marshal more time to be given a more specific plan later within the guidelines of the ordinance given tonight. Commissioner Dudziak stated they should work that all out and be presented to the Commission in a single ordinance so that everything can be clearly outlined. The motion to deny carried by the following vote: Aye: 5 -Knox, Dudziak, Redfearn, Clardy, Phelps Nay: 1 -Byerly Absent: 1 -Duffy 9 STAFF COMMENTS, REPORTS AND DISCUSSION ITEMS Cify of Colleyville Page 5 Printed on 4/29/2008 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -Final April 14, 2008 None 10.
