A. Site History
The Commission approved a preliminary on this site on
September 13, 1983, which proposed commercial office
use. Since then a final plat has been signed by the
staff for Lot 11R and West Side Drive.
B. Development Proposal
(1) The applicant is now proposing to develop a site
of 7.63 acres with an mini-office/warehouse
project on 4.8 acres and to change the nature of
West Side Drive which provides access from Barrow
Road by proposing a hammerhead instead of the
previously approved drive that connected to
Lile Drive.
This application represents a five -part review
which involves:
(a) New site plan for Tract A.
(b) Revised preliminary of Tract A to dedicate
additional right-of-way; relocate the access
drive to plat Lots 2, 9 and 10.
(c) Replat of Lot 11R (which has been final
platted with through street) to relocate and
modify drive; provide new right-of-way
dedication on the west and to relocate new
lot line to the north.
(d) Street closure to abandon that portion of
right-of-way left when hammerhead is
relocated.

approved preliminary not be vacated until the
actual transfer of property from the previous
owners to his clients takes place.
The previous owners would also prefer to have
the revised preliminary approved
conditionally, meaning that if new platting
is not effected prior to November 1, 1984,

Item No. 5 - Continued
the Commission'a approval would be deemed to
have lapsed, whereupon the original
preliminary plat would be reinstated.
C. Analysis
Staff has no objection to the basic intent of the
submittal. The applicant should provide a letter from
the Baptist Hospital agreeing to the elimination of
the Lile connection, be aware of a previous commitment
to a 40' buffer on the north and indicate the number of
parking spaces to be provided.
D. Staff Recommendation
Approval, subject to comments.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW:
The Commission reviewed the item. There was some discussion
on whether or not the previously approved buffer on the
north impacted this subdivision. The applicant was advised
to get the letter from the Baptist Hospital and complete
submission requirements for a conditional use application.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
Mr. Chris Barrier represented the developer. Staff reported
that the waiver to allow paving in the buffer area was not
needed; also, the revised plat included the reduction of
what was six platted lots to one. Mr. Barrier revised his
application, and asked that the request for a conditional
approval be eliminated. A motion to approve the request for
a site plan, conditional use, replat, revised preliminary
and a street closure was passed, subject to the applicant
submitting a specific landscaping plan. The motion passed
by a vote of: 8 ayes, 0 noes, 2 absent and 1 abstention
(Summerlin abstained).
