3021 Cantrell Road
South of Cantrell Road and east of Reb-samen
Park Road
A perimeter planting strip is required along any side of a vehicular use area that abuts the
right-of-way of any street or highway. This strip shall be at least nine (9) feet wide.
2. The city official may grant not more than a twenty-five (25) percent reduction of these
provisions for developments within mature areas.
VARIANCE REQUESTED:
1. Permission to allow the street perimeter landscaping strip to be located within the public
right-of-way and with a width reduction.
FINDINGS:
The applicant proposes to demolish the existing commercial building and.construct a new strip
retail center. Because of street right-of-way dedication required, most of the street landscaping
would be located within the public right-of-way. The Public Works Department supports
approving a franchise to allow trees and shrubs within this right-of-way area. The Planning
Commission approved this same street buffer variance in conjunction with a Planned
Commercial Development at its September 19, 2002 Hearing. This site is located within the
designated mature area, which allows a perimeter strip to be reduced to a minimum width of 6.7
feet. The proposed landscaping strip which would be located within the right-of-way varies in
width from three (3) feet to eight (8) feet. The applicant plans to plant trees and shrubs within
this strip where feasible to meet ordinance requirements.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is supportive of this landscape variance request.

two (2) parking spaces. The applicant proposes the placement of a single
ground mounted sign but has identified two locations. The sign is to be located
near the east driveway entrance with the alternative location the west driveway.
The applicant has indicated a possibility of nine (9) bays within the development
eight (8) of which are estimated at 1808 square feet with the last bay estimated
at 630 square feet. The walls will be temporary wall capable of being moved to
accommodate larger or smaller uses.
The applicant has indicated the street will be constructed to Master Street Plan
standards including a five (5) foot sidewalk. A portion of the front landscaping
will be located in the street right-of-way and will require franchising from the City

The applicant is requesting a 17 -foot retaining wall to be located in the rear of the
building. The wall will abut the AP & L easement and extend to the north and
east falling to zero near Cantrell Road and to a few feet behind the building.
B. EXISTING CONDITIONS:
The site is the current location of IBSEN Imports, an automobile dealership. In
the past the site has been home to Red River Marine, the use, which originally

G. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: August 29, 2002
Mr. Joe White of White-Daters and Associates was present representing the
application. Staff briefly described the proposed development noting additions,
which were needed on the proposed site plan, (days and hours of operation,
listing of proposed uses, dumpster location, building height). Staff stated the
proposed site plan indicated the use of the AP & L easement as the landscape
buffer, which was not allowable. Staff stated the Zoning Ordinance did not allow
for utility easements to be located within the required land use buffer when
adjacent to single family zones. Staff stated the proposed development had to
maintain a minimum width of twelve (12) feet along the western perimeter and at
no point can the buffer drop below a width of 6.7 feet.
Staff also stated the proposed development would require franchise approval
from the City and the City Beautiful Commission with regard to parking and
landscaping in the right-of-way.
Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated the applicant would be
required to install street improvements along Cantrell Road. Mr. White
questioned if an in -lieu contribution would be an acceptable alternative. Staff
stated the request would be considered.
After the discussion, the Committee then forwarded the Revised PCD to the full
Commission for final action.
H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant submitted a revised plan to staff addressing most of the issues
raised by Staff and the Subdivision Committee. The applicant has indicated
Cantrell Road will be constructed to Master Street Plan standard including a five
(5) foot sidewalk. The proposed landscaping is located in the right-of-way and
will require a franchise from the City and approval by the City Beautiful
Commission. Staff is supportive of this request.
The applicant proposes the days and hours of operation to be from 6:00 am to
10:00 pm seven days per week. The applicant has indicated the maximum
building height will be 35 -feet. The applicant has also indicated on the site plan
the dumpster to be located behind the building and screened on three sides with
an 8 -foot opaque fence.
The applicant has indicated a sign will be located near the east driveway
entrance and will be a maximum of 36 -feet in height and 160 square feet in area.

ITEM NO.: B Con#. FILE NO.: Z-497 -C
The applicant has indicated an alternative location near the west driveway
entrance and has also indicated, if constructed, the sign area would not be any
larger than allowed by the zoning ordinance for commercially zoned property (a
maximum of 36 -feet in height and 160 square feet in area).
The applicant has indicated the proposed retaining wall located adjacent to the
AP& L easement near the southern portion of the site will be 17 -feet in height
gradually falling as the wall extends to the north and the east. Staff is supportive
of the request. Per the current ordinance the applicant would be allow a 15 -foot
single retaining wall and Staff does not feel the additional two (2) feet would
cause any adverse impact on the area.
The applicant is proposing the placement of 45 parking spaces. The typical
required parking for a development of this type would be 41 spaces based on
shopping center development criteria of one (1) space per 225 square feet of
gross leaseable space. The proposed parking is sufficient to meet the typical
parking demand of the development.
The applicant proposes the use of the AP& L easement as a portion of the land
use buffer and the placement of two (2) of the front parking spaces in the
easement. The typical land use buffer along the western perimeter should
maintain an average of 12 -feet and at any point not fall below 6.7 feet excluding
the easement. Staff would require, prior to a building permit being issued, the
applicant furnish written approval from AP& L to use that portion of the easement
for parking.
Staff has some general concern with the mechanical equipment, which is
proposed to be located on the roof. There are single-family homes located on
the ridge top overlooking the site. Staff would propose the applicant screen the
mechanical equipment and place some form of deflector to send the sound to the
north of the site.
In general staff is supportive of the proposed development as filed. If the
applicant works to mitigate the noise from the mechanical equipment the
development should have minimal adverse impact on the surrounding residents.
i. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed revision to the Planned Commercial
Development to allow a new commercial building to be constructed on the site
and allow C-3 uses as the allowed uses for the site subject to compliance with
the conditions outlined in Paragraphs D, E, F and H of this report.
