thoroughfare.
Alternative 10 extends Keys Drive south from North Colony Boulevard, and connects to F.M. 423

Alternatives 9 and 10; the least expensive alternatives, do not provide the necessary additional
capacity and have the greatest amount of negative impact on existing development.

Alternative 8 extends Newton Street from North Colony Blvd. southeasterly across Lake Lewisville
to connect with F.M. 423 at Strickland, providing a four (4) lane undivided thoroughfare.
Alternative 8 the most expensive alternative at 4.8 million, provides the necessary additional capacity
with the least impact on existing development.
Altemative 11 extends Newton Street from North Colony along the south shoreline of Stewart Creek
Peninsula and connects to F.M. 423 at Nash Street, providing a four (4) lane undivided thoroughfare.
Alternative 11 provides the needed additional capacity, is more cost effective than Alternative 8 and
will have a larger negative impact on existing development than Alternative 8.
Sam Chavez, City Planner, further explained that the four (4) new alternatives were evaluated and
compared with the seven (7) alternatives that were previously presented in the Transportation Study.
Nancy Salohuborr, resident of The Colony disagreed with the information presented, stating that the

North Colony Blvd. along the south shoreline of Stewart Creek Peninsula to run parallel with Main
Street ( F.M. 423) to Lakeshore Blvd., providing a four (4) lane undivided.

Request for approval of a specific use permit for a beverage store for the sell of alcoholic beverages
for off-premise consumption and related site plan. On April 8, 1997 staff recommended that the
request be continued to allow the applicant to revise the site plan and to address staffs stipulations.
Barbara Crocker: The first item is 04-97SUP2, Goody Goody Liquor Store, Joe Frank Jansen, Goody
Goody Liquor, Inc. request for approval of a beverage store for the sale of beer wine and liquor for
off-premise consumption and related site plan. The 1.853 acre lot is located west of northwest
intersection of Paige Road and State Highway 121, on the north side of State Highway 121. The site
is zoned for Business Park District and is currently undeveloped. This application was continued at
the April 8, 1997 Commissioners meeting. If you would please allow the staff to make their
comments, the representative to make his, then we will open the floor for comments.
Sam Chavez, City Planner: The Planning and Zoning Commission continued the applicants request
to tonight's meeting to allow the applicant to address staffs stipulations and the commissions
comments. A copy of the original previous staff stipulations are included in your staff reports their
labeled Exhibit A. The applicant has submitted a revised site plan. The revised site plan has been
reviewed by staff and staff comments are addressed in your reports. Generally staff stipulation
number (2) which called for a preliminary site plan for Lot 3 was not submitted, however, the
applicant did or does indicate a cross access easement to a drive on Lot 3 which is on an lot. They
also access of Lot 3 onto the driveway for onto Lot 4 now has one signal driveway. Staff stipulation
number five (5) refers to types of trees within that buffer, stipulation number seven (7) refers to a
pylon sign that is still shown on the applicant's site plan. The following additional revisions have been
made on the site plan. The building has been moved within 30 feet of the front property line, the
original site plan had the building situated at about 50 feet from property line. The structure was also
Page 4
Planning & Zoning Co~nission Meeting: 05-13-97
moved to within one foot of the west property line. The Commission preferred to maintain a minimum
6 foot side yard setback in order to allow landscape area to plant trees, along the length of the west
wall. Although the structure conforms with the required setbacks for Business Park District, staff
is recommending that the minimum front yard and the side yard setback be 50 feet 6 feet, respectively.
The intent of this recommendation is to maintain a clear and consisted view corridor along S.H. 121.
Property located to the west of it has a minimum front setback of fifty feet, the proposed
development to the east ofthis site is setback at a minimum of about 138 feet. Staff doesn't feel that
a 138 foot setback is reasonable for this type of development. Therefore, staff is recommending those
particular set backs. With the exception of staff stipulation number seven, which is the pylon sign and
the recommended setbacks the revised site plan conforms with staffs stipulations and the
Commissions comments. Therefore staff is recommending approval of the request subject to those
items found in staffs stipulation, found in your report. With that I believe the applicant or applicants
are here to answer your questions.
Barbara Crocker: Sam, I would like to confirm something with you. Sam before we do that,
the side yard, your saying is six feet minimum.
