P & Z Minutes 09-09-19 Page 2 of 4 09-09-19 Ms. Stathatos gave a brief presentation and answered questions from the Commission. The site and landscape plan is located between Highway 5 and Riggins St, and between Fifth St and Seventh St (the future Block A, Lot 1 of the Anna Municipal Complex Addition). The site contains approximately 8.241 acres of land that are zoned by a Planned Development with a base zoning of CBRD. They are proposing the new 24,600 SF City Hall building, a 15,500 SF Fire Station, and another additional building at a future date. A motion was made by Commissioner Barton to approve the site and landscape plan as presented that it is the initial phase of the plans and additional development will require a new site and landscape plan be brought forth before any future phase be developed. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Tutson. The vote was unanimous. 11. Consider/Discuss/Action on recommendation regarding a Site and Landscape Plan for Neighborhood Credit Union located at Block A, Lot 6 of the Wal-mart Anna Addition. Ms. Stathatos gave a brief presentation including the history of the property and why it was tabled last meeting. She went over the changes to the drive access that were brought up at the previous meeting and answered questions from the Commission. The site and landscape plan is located at Block A, Lot 6 of the Wal-mart Anna Addition. The site contains approximately 1.58 acres of land that are zoned PD for commercial uses. They are proposing a new 1,990 SF Credit Union. Commissioner Barton put on record that he appreciated the applicant's cooperation with changing the access drive and moving the dumpster on the site away from the entrance to the building. A motion was made by Commissioner Barton, seconded by Commissioner Callaham to approve the site and landscape plan. The vote was unanimous. 12. Consider/Discuss/Action on recommendation regarding a Site and Landscape Plan for the Anna Day Care located at 1229 W White St. Ms. Stathatos gave a presentation about the property and the history of the project. This site and landscape plan is located at 1229 W White St. The site contains approximately 1.185 acres of land that is zoned a SUP for a daycare use. They are proposing a new 8,425 SF Day Care. Unfortunately, the building permit for this site was issued by previous staff before a site and landscape plan had been approved. The applicant, Kevin Patel, had inquired about cutting down some trees near the project, which was when it was discovered that no tree survey, site plan, landscape plan, or building elevations had been approved. The applicant was required to submit a site and landscape plan for approval before a certificate of occupancy would be issued for the property. Since several trees were cut down without approval or without a tree survey, a stop work order was given to the project until a tree survey and mitigation plan was approved. The site and landscape plan that was brought before the commission did not meet the City's zoning standards because the dumpster pad was not screened on all sides with evergreen shrubs. Since the project was already underway, the applicant stated that to do the shrubs would mean he would have to lose one parking space and then would be in non-compliance over the parking. Kevin Patel addressed the commission stating that he has done over 70 daycares and has also done a Taco Bell in Anna. He apologized for cutting down the trees without authorization and stated that since then, he has worked with the City to meet their standards. He then addressed several questions from the Commissioners. Commissioner Barton asked him how many of those 70 daycares required site plans and if the Taco Bell required a site plan and Kevin responded that he was not sure. There was much discussion amongst the commissioners about the events that had transpired and several statements that the applicant, as a developer, should know the building process of a City. They stated that he should be held to the same zoning standards as everyone else, regardless of the history of the project. The Commission also discussed various options to allow for the shrubs to be placed around the dumpster, while still requiring the same amount of parking spots, in order to bring the plan in to compliance. P & Z Minutes 09-09-19 Page 3 of 4 09-09-19 Due to the complexity of the situation and the Commission's request for more information, a motion was made by Commissioner Barton to table the item until such date as can be mutually agreed upon by the Planning and Zoning Commission and Staff for an executive session and a public portion of the meeting to consider, discuss, and act on the site and landscape plan. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Callaham and the vote was unanimous. 13. Consider action to approve minutes of the August 5, 2019 Planning and Zoning meeting. A motion was made by Commissioner Voss, seconded by Commissioner Tutson to approve the August 51 2019 meeting minutes. The vote was unanimous. 14. Adjourn A motion was made by Commissioner Callaham, se�conded by Commissioner Voss to adjourn the meeting. The vote was unanimous. The meeting adjourned at 8:54 pm.
