Commissioner Davis questioned Mr. Montgomery regarding if he would have an issue with meeting the design score of 30. Mr. Montgomery replied that would be very achievable and they would have no issues with meeting that requirement. Commissioner Dudziak questioned Mr. Montgomery regarding if there are any other examples of how 7-Eleven may have used different materials around the gasoline pump canopies. Mr. Montgomery replied that there have been times where the tri-stripe has been eliminated or changed. He stated those are possibilities however the tri-stripe is a City of Colleyville Page 3 Printed on ~ Usyiwn Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -Final November 14, 2011 recognizable feature for 7-Eleven.

Commissioner Knox questioned Mr. Montgomery regarding how tall an actual dumpster is. Mr. Montgomery replied not knowing. Commissioner Knox stated being concerned that the dumpster enclosing may not cover the actual height of a dumpster especially if the dumpster becomes full. Commissioner Knox questioned Mr. Montgomery regarding if it would be possible to make the dumpster enclosure area 8 feet tall. Mr. Montgomery replied they could do that and it would be a masonry enclosure. Ron Ruthven explained that there are various dumpster sizes with IESI (City of Colleyville trash provider). Commissioner Knox stated that it would be nice if the dumpster is consistent with the height of the monument signs. Mr. Montgomery replied that being a reasonable request. Commissioner Wheelwright questioned Mr. Montgomery regarding if there are different types of stores and if they are adjusted for the different types of cities? Mr. Montgomery replied that there are prototypical stores, usually two different sizes. He stated the one being proposed is the smaller of the two because of the lot size. Commissioner Wheelwright questioned Mr. Montgomery regarding if this store is more than an average store. Mr. Montgomery replied that the proposed store is way more than the average store. Larae Tucker, representative of Harrison French and Associates, Ltd., came forward and presented the case and briefed the Commissioners with regard to signs and design scores. Commissioner Dudziak questioned Ms. Tucker regarding if the monument signs can be updated to match the City's monument signs. Ms. Tucker replied that if there is a particular element that the City would like for them to use, then they can consider it. She further explained that all of the structures will match the masonry brick elements in the main City of Colleyville Page 4 Printed on 11/29/ZO77 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -Final November 14, 2011 structure with a lighter, tan color trim. Commissioner Dudziak questioned Ms. Tucker regarding if the lower portion of the main building is brick or stone. Mr. Montgomery replied that it is a basic CMU (cement block) and the decision had not been made whether or not it would be chisel or basic. He stated that the bottom portion is supposed to be a contrasting color. He further stated that synthetic stucco would be used as well. Commissioner Dudziak questioned Mr. Montgomery regarding if it would a brick structure. Mr. Montgomery replied that it is a solid brick structure but that the lighter tan color wrapping the top of the building area is synthetic stucco. Commissioner Dudziak stated it would be nice to have some stone type element on the lower portion of the building. He stated that since this is one of the first buildings before coming into Colleyville, it would be nice if the building looked good. Mr. Montgomery stated that if there is a type of stone that is acceptable by the City, then they will definitely consider using it. Commissioner Dudziak questioned Ms. Tucker regarding if there were any other ideas about the tri-striping, is there something else that can be done? Ms. Tucker replied that there have been times when some of the striping can be taken down. Mr. Montgomery suggested that they could tone down the striping a little if that would make it more appealing. Commissioner Davis stated that the tri-striping is a part of 7-Eleven's branding. Mr. Montgomery concurred and stated that there may be some resistance from Corporate regarding the request. Commissioner Dudziak stated he is making suggestions with regards to signage. He stated the signs are on the building, the canopy and the monument signs. Commissioner Dudziak questioned Mr. Montgomery if the canopies are lighted? Mr. Montgomery replied no. Commissioner Phelps questioned Mr. Montgomery regarding the traffic. Mr. Montgomery referred those questions to Walter Ragsdale regarding traffic.

Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -Final November 14, 2011 Commissioner Phelps questioned Mr. Ragsdale regarding if there are any restrictions on any of the driveways, right in right out, left in left out, etc? Mr. Ragsdale explained that the restrictions are natural, no extra signage is necessary. Commissioner Dudziak questioned Mr. Ragsdale regarding if there is a need for cross access with the neighboring properties. Mr. Ragsdale replied that there are no agreements in place for cross access and there is a grade differential between the two properties. He further stated that a cross access is not necessary. There being no one wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed at 7:38 p.m. Commissioner Dudziak questioned staff regarding if there are any requirements to using stone on the bottom half of the proposed building. Ron Ruthven replied that at this time, the materials being used are allowed. He stated with the amendments being considered to building design, there are architectural elements that will be required, other than a smooth, flat stone. He stated that the Commission can make conditions to the proposed ordinance. He further stated that the synthetic stone is not looked at as an allowable material, however the current regulations only require 75 percent masonry and the other 25 percent could by synthetic which the proposed building would meet that requirement. Commissioner Davis questioned staff regarding if CMU finishes are allowed as a rough finish? Ron Ruthven replied yes and that the new Fossil Creek Spirits on Precinct Line Road is using this CMU with split face finish as a material. Commissioner Byerly questioned staff regarding the amendments to the color palette and how it relates to this request on the canopy. Ron Ruthven stated that the proposed colors that are being added to the building design standards would prohibit any fluorescent colors; however, a definition for fluorescent has not been addressed. He further stated that the proposed colors for 7-Eleven, in his opinion, are not fluorescent. Commissioner Dudziak moved to approve case ZC11-022 with the addition of the building meeting a design score of 30 and the use of cut stone on the base of the building and the actual base of the column supports of the canopy structure and that the dumpster enclosure area is at least 8 feet in height. Commissioner Knox seconded. City of Colleyville Page 6 Printeor on ~ v~yicu~ i Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -Final November 14, 2011 Commissioner Phelps stated he did not agree with the cut stone requirement since it is not a requirement of the code. He stated a stone look is acceptable. Commissioner Davis concurred with Commissioner Phelps especially since nothing in the code requires it. Commissioner Byerly concurred as well. Commissioner Dudziak stated that it's the Commissioners responsibility to ask. Commissioner Knox stated he did not want to see a plain, CMU block on the bottom band of the building. He stated if there is some CMU with intercool color in it would be better with a split face. He stated it will not look good in a few years if the block is left raw. Commissioner Phelps stated he did not object to language that would require a stone look but not that it have to be actual cut stone. Commissioner Davis stated a cut stone look would be nice.
