UM, THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER RESTAURANTS AND OTHER USES IN THE CENTER THAT HAVE RECEIVED SPECIAL USE PERMITS OVER TIME.
UM, AND THIS REQUEST IS, UH, ANOTHER SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW A NEW RESTAURANT WITH A SALE OF ALCOHOL.
SO THE, UM, APPLICANT OR, UM, THE OFFICE BAR IS REQUESTING TO OCCUPY SUITE 180.
UH, THIS SUITE IS JUST UNDER 1900 SQUARE FEET.
UM, THIS IS A REMNANT OF A PREVIOUSLY MUCH LARGER SUITE THAT, UH, WAS PREVIOUSLY CONJOINED WITH THE SPACE THAT IS CURRENTLY OCCUPIED BY TASTY TAILS, WHICH IS IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE WEST OF THIS SUITE.

AND THEN THERE ARE ADDITIONAL ALLOWANCES, EXCUSE ME, IT'S ONE TO ONE 60 FOR RESTAURANTS.

UH, SO WITH THAT, THE ONLY, UM, RESTAURANT THAT IS CURRENTLY USING DESIGNATED VALET SERVICE ON THE SITE IS THE, UM, IMPROV COMEDY CLUB.
ALL THE OTHER RESTAURANTS DO NOT AT THIS TIME HAVE DESIGNATED VALET.
SO WITH THAT, UM, THE SITE AND WITH THIS PROPOSED USE WOULD REQUIRE 467 SPACES, AND THERE ARE CURRENTLY 468 PROVIDED ON SITE.
SO JUST ONE SPACE EXCEEDING THAT REQUIREMENT.

[3. Hold a public hearing, present, discuss, and consider action on a request for a Special Use Permit Amendment (SUP) to allow modifications to the development plans for a new Private School and to allow temporary structures to serve as a storm shelter on a portion of an 8.67± acre property located south of Proton Drive and approximately 600 feet west of Midway Road (14295 Midway Road), that is currently zoned Planned Development (PD), through Ordinance No. 625. Case 1924-SUP/14295 Midway Road (Westwood Montessori Amendment). ]
AGENDA.HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING PRESENT, DISCUSS AND CONSIDER ACTION ON A REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT AMENDMENT, SUP TO ALLOW MODIFICATIONS TO THE DEVELOPMENT PLANS FOR A NEW PRIVATE SCHOOL UNTIL I HAD TEMPORARY STRUCTURES TO SERVE AS STORM SHELTER ON A PORTION OF AN APPROXIMATE 8.67 PLUS OR MINUS ACREAGE PROPERTY LOCATED SOUTH OF PROTON DRIVE AND APPROXIMATELY 600 FEET OF WEST MIDWAY ROAD, 1 42 95 MIDWAY ROAD.
THIS IS CURRENTLY ZONED PLAN PD THROUGH ORDINANCE 6 2 5, CASE 1924 U SLASH 1 42 95 MIDWAY ROAD, WESTWOOD MONTESSORI, A AMEN AMENDMENT, LESLIE LESLIE KNIGHT, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT AND NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES.
UM, THIS REQUEST IS FOR A, UM, SPECIFIC TO A PRIVATE SCHOOL, UM, THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL IN APRIL OF 2024 FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO CONVERT AN EXISTING OFFICE BUILDING AT MIDWAY ATRIUMS, UH, INTO A PRIVATE SCHOOL.
THIS REQUEST IS COMING BACK FOR AN AMENDMENT TO THOSE DEVELOPMENT PLANS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED, AS WELL AS TO ALLOW A TEMPORARY STRUCTURE.
SO THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY WAS REZONED FROM RESIDENTIAL TO PLAN DEVELOPMENT IN 1980.
[00:10:01]
SUBSEQUENTLY THE EXISTING OFFICE BUILDINGS, WHICH INCLUDES THREE FOUR STORY OFFICE BUILDINGS WERE CONSTRUCTED.UM, AND THEN LATER IN 2009 THERE WAS A, UM, PD AMENDMENT TO ESTABLISH PARKING RATIOS FOR, UM, OFFICE AND HOTEL USES.
UM, THIS PARTICULAR PD I'LL NOTE ENC ENCOMPASSES BOTH THE ADJACENT PROPERTY, WHICH WAS THE FORMER CROWN PLAZA SITE, AS WELL AS THE PROPERTY LOCATED TO THE NORTH OF PROTON DRIVE, WHICH IS A COMMERCIAL, A MULTI-TENANT COMMERCIAL BUILDING, AS WELL AS ANOTHER, UM, HOTEL ESTABLISHMENT AS WELL.
IN, UM, APRIL, AS I MENTIONED, OF 2024, WESTWOOD MONTESSORI WAS APPROVED FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT.
UM, AND THIS REQUEST TODAY IS TO AMEND THAT INITIAL APPROVAL.
SO JUST GOING THROUGH, UM, SOME OF THE CHANGES ARE NOTED IN BOLD, UM, AND TO TO BE, UH, TRANSPARENT.
UH, SOME OF THE OTHER INFORMATION THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY SHARED AND PROPOSED TO CONTINUE OR REMAIN THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED, UM, IS ALSO INCLUDED, BUT NOT BOLDED.
SO THE SCHOOL, UM, CONSTRUCTION IS UNDERWAY FOR THE CONVERSION OF THE O FOUR STORY OFFICE BUILDING INTO A PRIVATE SCHOOL.
UM, AND THAT IS LOCATED ON THE NORTH NORTHERN SIDE OF THE SITE, UH, OR THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THIS SITE PLAN.
UM, THEY ARE ALSO PROPOSING TO CONSTRUCT A NEW GYMNASIUM AND STORM SHELTER IMMEDIATELY SOUTH OF THE SCHOOL, UM, DUE TO SOME PHASING OF THE PROJECT AND THE CONSTRUCTION, UH, THEY ARE PROPOSING, UM, TEMPORARY STORM SHELTERS, WHICH I'LL ELABORATE ON FURTHER.
UM, THEY'RE ALSO PROPOSING WITH THIS REQUEST TO MODIFY THE PICKUP AND DROP OFF LANE.
THIS CHANGE DOES REDUCE THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF PARKING PROVIDED, BUT IT DOES INCREASE THE ALLOWABLE PLAYGROUND AREA AS WELL AS PRESERVE SOME ADDITIONAL TREES ON SITE REDUCING THE OVERALL, UH, MITIGATION REQUIREMENTS.
UM, THEY'RE ALSO PROPOSING TO MODIFY THE SECURITY FENCING AROUND THE, UM, PLAYGROUND, WHICH IS IDENTIFIED ON THE LANDSCAPE PLAN.
THEY'RE STILL PROPOSING A NEW DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE, WHICH IS GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE NEW GYMNASIUM STRUCTURE.
AND AS I PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, UM, THEY ARE ALSO SEEKING APPROVAL FOR THREE TEMPORARY STORM SHELTER STRUCTURES TO BE LOCATED ON SITE TEMPORARILY WHILE THE GYMNASIUM IS BEING CONSTRUCTED SO THAT THEY CAN, THE SCHOOL CAN PROCEED FORWARD AND OCCUPY THE NEW, UM, SCHOOL BUILDING.
UH, SO QUICKLY TO GO OVER WHAT, UM, THE NEW SCHOOL WILL BE, IT'S ABOUT 95,000 SQUARE FEET.
UH, THEY'RE NOT MAKING SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE EXTERIOR OF THAT BUILDING.
UM, HOWEVER, THEY ARE DOING, UH, QUITE A BIT OF INTERIOR RENOVATION TO, UM, MAKE IT INTO A SCHOOL.
SO GENERALLY ALL THE DIFFERENT FLOORS WILL BE, UM, SUBDIVIDED BY GRADE, SO YOUNGER STUDENTS AND THE FIRST FLOORS GRADUATING TO OLDER STUDENTS IN THE TOP FLOORS.
THIS SCHOOL DOES PROVIDE SERVICES FOR, UM, PRESCHOOL ALL THE WAY THROUGH 12TH GRADE.
SO THERE'S A WIDE VARIETY OF AGES, UM, WITHIN THE SCHOOL.
THERE ARE A VARIETY OF PROGRAMMING IN THE BUILDING, INCLUDING CLASSROOMS, OFFICES, SOME INDOOR, UM, PLAY AREAS, RESTROOMS AND OTHER STORAGE FACILITIES.
UM, AS A REMINDER, THE SCHOOL DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY LUNCHES, UM, FOR THE STUDENTS.
SO THERE'S NO COOKING FACILITIES ON SITE FOR THE GYMNASIUM.
UM, THIS IS ALSO, THIS, THE GYM ITSELF REMAINS THE SAME.
IT'S REALLY, REALLY TALKING ABOUT THE PHASING.
UM, IT'S APPROXIMATELY, UM, 10,700 SQUARE FOOT IN SIZE.
THERE'S, UH, PROPOSED BLEACHERS AS WELL AS A SPORTS COURT AND SOME OTHER, UH, LOCKER ROOM RESTROOM FACILITIES.
UM, ALSO SERVING AS A STORM SHELTER EVENTUALLY.
ONCE AGAIN, THE PHASING NECESSITATES THE NEED FOR THIS TEMPORARY STRUCTURES AS THE, UM, ICC 500 CODES DOES REQUIRE SCHOOLS TO PROVIDE STORM SHELTERS.
SO IN ORDER TO, FOR THE TOWN TO ISSUE A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY TO OCCUPY THE OFFICE BUILDING, WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY BE THE NEW SCHOOL, THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A STORM SHELTER FOR AN APPROPRIATE NUMBER OF OCCUPANTS OF THE SCHOOL BUILDING.
THE PROPOSED TEMPORARY STORM STRUCTURE STRUCTURES WILL BE THREE 10 FOOT BY 40 FOOT, UH, TORNADO LOCK STRUCTURES, AS YOU SEE IN THIS IMAGE, UH, THEY'RE APPROXIMATELY EIGHT FEET TALL.
UM, THESE DO MEET THE CODE REQUIREMENTS, UH, FOR THE ICC 500 CODE.
UM, THEY WOULD NEED TO BE LOCATED ON SITE AND MEET ALL THE PROVISIONS.
UM, THERE ARE CERTAIN DISTANCE PROVISIONS AS WELL AS ACCESSIBILITY STANDARDS THAT ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS.
UM, THOSE HAVE BEEN TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT WITH THE PLAN AND THEY DO PROVIDE OCCUPANCY FOR 399 INDIVIDUALS FOR THREE OF THEM ACROSS THREE OF THEM, WHICH DOES MEET, UM,
[00:15:01]
THE CODE REQUIREMENT FOR THE OCCUPANCY OF THE BUILDING.ADDITIONALLY, THE TEMPORARY STRUCTURES, UH, WOULD ONLY BE ON SITE FOR THE DURATION OF CONSTRUCTION OF THE GYMNASIUM, WHICH IS ANTICIPATED TO BE NINE MONTHS AFTER THAT PERIOD.
UM, THEY WOULD BE SITUATED UPON, UM, EXISTING PARKING SURFACE, SO THEY WOULD JUST BE, UM, BOLTED INTO THAT, THAT HARD SURFACE AND THEN COULD JUST BE UNBOLTED AND REMOVED WITH RELATIVELY A LITTLE DAMAGE OR DISTURBANCE TO THE, THE SITE.
SO LOOKING AT THE PARKING, UM, THERE, WITH THE SHIFT OF THE DROP OFF LANE, THE PARKING DID DECREASE BY OR PROPOSING TO DECREASE BY 14 SPACES.
UM, DOING THIS, IT WAS A, AN OFFSET OF INCREASE OF OPEN SPACE VERSUS PARKING.
UM, AND THEN ADDITIONALLY I'LL ADD WITH THE PROPOSED TEMPORARY STORM SHELTERS, THIS WOULD REDUCE, OR EXCUSE ME, OCCUPY 21 EXISTING SPACES, UM, DURING THE GYM CONSTRUCTION.
SO THOSE WOULD NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE FOR USE.
UM, STAFF DOESN'T HAVE CONCERN ABOUT THAT BECAUSE THE, UM, THE PARKING DEMAND IS LIKELY TO BE AT, ITS, I GOTTA SAY ITS HIGHEST WHEN THE GYM IS COMPLETED DURING VARIOUS EXTRACURRICULAR EVENTS, NOT NECESSARILY DURING THE SCHOOL DAY, SINCE THERE IS A VERY SMALL POPULATION OF THE, THE STUDENTS THAT ACTUALLY DRIVE OR A, OR ARE OF DRIVING AGE FOR TREE REMOVAL.
UM, WITH THE SHIFT OF THE DROP OFF LANE, THEY WERE ABLE TO REDUCE THE TOTAL, UM, CALIPER INCHES BEING REMOVED AND ABLE TO SAVE SEVERAL MORE TREES ON SITE.
UM, THEY ALSO WERE ABLE TO ADD ONE MORE TREE BACK ON, INCREASING THE TOTAL MITIGATED ON SITE, UM, ULTIMATELY DECREASING THEIR TREE MITIGATION FUND PAYMENT BY NEARLY $15,000.
UM, LANDSCAPING, UH, THERE WAS VERY LITTLE CHANGES OVERALL OTHER THAN WHAT I'VE MENTIONED REGARDING THE TREE MITIGATION, THEY WERE ABLE TO INCREASE THE OVERALL OPEN SPACE BY ABOUT HALF PERCENT.
OH, AND I'LL JUST NOTE, UM, THE, THERE IS A PROPOSED FENCE SURROUNDING THE PLAYGROUND AREA, WHICH IS LOCATED ON THE NORTH AND NORTHWEST SIDE OF THE BUILDING.
UM, THEY ARE PROPOSING TO REMOVE THE, UM, THE SCHOOL WOULD NOT LIKE TO HAVE THE PERIMETER FENCE AROUND THE ENTIRE SITE, BUT MAINTAIN A SOLID FENCE AROUND THE PLAYGROUND AREA FOR SAFETY PURPOSES.
UM, THE, THIS IS THE EXISTING OR THE FACADE OF THE NEW SCHOOL BUILDING.
THERE IS NO PROPOSED CHANGES FROM WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED.
UM, THE SAME IS, UH, WITH THE GYMNASIUM STRUCTURE AS WELL.
JUST QUICKLY REVIEWING THE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS, THIS IS NOT DIFFERENT.
UM, THE ONE CHANGE IS THAT THE TOTAL STACKING AREA WITH THE SHIFT OF THE QUEUING LANE, OR EXCUSE ME, THE DROP OFF LANE IS REDUCED BY ONE VEHICLE FROM 39 VEHICLE CAPACITY ON SITE TO 38.
UH, STAFF DOES NOT FEEL THAT THAT WILL BE AN ISSUE, UM, CONSIDERING THAT THEY ARE HAVE A SURPLUS OF QUEUING ON SITE, UH, FOR ALL THEIR PROPOSED PICKUP TIMES BASED UPON OBSERVANT, UM, OBSERVANCE OF THEIR CURRENT, UM, SCHOOL STAFF PROVIDED NOTICE TO 109, UM, PROPERTY OWNERS SURROUNDING THE SITE AND DID NOT RECEIVE ANY RESPONSES TO THE REQUEST.
UM, STAFF ULTIMATELY DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL.
HOWEVER, UM, SINCE THE THE PACKET WAS PUBLISHED, STAFF HAS HAD SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS ABOUT, UM, THE SECOND CONDITION WHICH STAFF'S RECOMMENDING REGARDING THE PERIMETER PLAYGROUND SECURITY FENCING.
UM, SO THIS CONDITION WAS CARRIED FORWARD FROM THE PREVIOUS APPROVAL.
HOWEVER, AFTER, UM, DISCUSSIONS WITH THE SCHOOL, THEY WOULD PREFER TO NOT USE IRON MATERIAL AS THEY DESIRE TO HAVE IT SOLID.
UM, A COUPLE OF ITEMS THAT THEY ARE RECOMMENDING IS THAT IT BE SOLID.
UM, IT NOT RETAIN HEAT TO POTENTIALLY BE A DANGER FOR CHILDREN USING THE PLAYGROUND AND IT TO BE RELATIVELY COST EFFECTIVE.
SO THAT, THAT IS A, A REQUEST THAT THEY WOULD LIKE THE COMMISSION TO CONSIDER.
UM, THE OTHER TWO, UH, CONDITIONS ARE ALSO RECOMMENDED, UH, THE FIRST THAT A PHOTOMETRIC PLAN BE SUBMITTED WITH THE GYM STRUCTURE.
AND THE THIRD IS THAT, UM, THESE TEMPORARY STRUCTURES WOULD EXPIRE 18 MONTHS FROM THE DATE OF APPROVAL.
UM, THAT IS THE, I'M GONNA SAY THE DEFAULT FOR TEMPORARY STRUCTURES WITHIN OUR ZONING CODE CURRENTLY.
HOWEVER, IF THE COMMISSION FEELS THAT THAT SHOULD BE REDUCED, UM, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE VIA THIS SUP, I'D BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS, COMMISSIONERS, ANY QUESTIONS FOR LESLIE? IF THE APPLICANT IS PRESENT AND WISH TO SPEAK, YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME TO THE PODIUM AND ADDRESS THIS.
[00:20:01]
OKAY.PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND, UH, FOR FRIENDLY REMINDER COMMENTS ARE LEFT TO THREE MINUTES PLEASE.
UM, 2 7 2 4 GLENCLIFF DRIVE IN PLANO.
UM, I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY COMMENTS TO MAKE, JUST THAT I WOULD ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.
UM, THE FENCE IS, IS A BIG DEAL FOR US BECAUSE, UM, WE ACTUALLY HAD THE POLICE DEPARTMENT COME OUT AND EXAMINE OUR CURRENT BUILDINGS AND TELL US EVERY SINGLE THING THAT WE NEEDED TO DO TO PROTECT THE KIDS.
AND ONE OF THEM WAS A SOLID FENCE.
UM, SO WE WOULD LIKE TO DO THAT.
UM, BUT I THINK IT WILL BE BEAUTIFUL, WHATEVER WE DO.
'CAUSE WE DO HAVE TO SELL THE SCHOOL.
IT'S PRIVATE, SO I THINK IT WILL BE ATTRACTIVE.
UM, AND I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE.
WE, YOU KNOW, WE JUST HAVE TO HAVE THESE STORM SHELTERS.
THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT THAT.
UM, AS SOON AS THE GYM IS BUILT, WHICH WOULD, YOU KNOW, BE YESTERDAY FOR US, WE ARE GONNA GET RID OF 'EM AND, AND GO WITH THE GYM
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WERE HERE FOR THE WORK SESSION.
I JUST WANNA PREPARE YOU THAT, THAT THERE'S PROBABLY GONNA BE SOME MODIFICATION LANGUAGE PUT IN FOR, REGARDING THE FENCE IN PARTICULAR.
WE CAN ALL HAVE A PRETTY STRONG FEELING THAT WE DON'T LIKE WOOD, UM, FROM A, FROM STANDPOINT.
SO JUST, I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO LIKE GO, OH, YOU GUYS DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING WHILE I WAS HERE.
DID ANY OTHER COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR HER? OKAY.
AT THIS TIME I'LL OPEN UP A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS ITEM.
DOES ANYONE HERE WISH TO SPEAK ON THE ITEM? IF SO, PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM, STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND KEEP YOUR COMMENTS TO THREE MINUTES PLEASE.
SEEING THAT THERE'S NO FURTHER COMMENTS THAT WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC PORTION OF THE HEARING, IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSIONS FOR THE COMMISSION FOR STAFF OR THE APPLICANT? TOM, YOU'RE I SAW THAT TAPE.
MM, COME ON, ASK A, I'M GONNA ASK, I'M GONNA ASK A SILLY QUESTION.
SORT OF A SILLY QUESTION IS THE REASON, I MEAN, I I'M GLAD THAT THEY, LIKE JIMMY SAID BEFORE, I'M GLAD THAT THEY SAVED SOME MORE TREES.
THE BIGGEST TREE THAT THEY'RE TAKING OUT IS THE ONE BETWEEN THE BUILDING AND THE GYM AND THAT LITTLE CORRIDOR THERE.
ARE THEY TAKING THAT OUT BECAUSE THE, THEY HAVE TO RUN SEWER? IS THAT A NEW MAN MANHOLE ON THIS DRAWING? IS THAT, I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT, 'CAUSE IT'S THERE NOW.
IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT'S IN THE WAY OF THE NEW BUILDING AND IT'S, SO THERE IS 1252 IS THE, THERE IS NEW INFRASTRUCTURE ON THE SOUTH.
IT'S GENERALLY RUNNING ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE, THE, SORRY, THE EAST SIDE OF THE BUILDINGS, BUT THE SOUTH PLAN SOUTH, UH, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW, UM, I WILL SAY THEY'RE ALL, THEY'RE, THEY ARE HAVING TO LOOP THE WATERLINE.
HOWEVER, I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S, IT'S NOT GOING BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS TO CLARIFY.
SO, UM, I BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE.
SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE TREE THAT'S AT TALKING ABOUT? YEAH, IT'S THE END, THE END OF THE PLACE.
SO I BELIEVE THAT WOULD, THAT SIDEWALK THERE IS REQUIRED FOR ACCESS.
SO THAT WOULD BE LOCATED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SIDEWALK SO THAT, THAT WHOLE AREA IN BETWEEN THERE'S PAVED, CORRECT.
AND, AND IT'S ACCESS FOR EXIT ACCESS.
I JUST, IT'S KIND OF A CRAZY QUESTION, BUT WE'VE GOT A FIRE HYDRANT HERE.
THREE, SO THAT'S REALLY NARROWS THAT DOWN.
SO THE, THE, THIS AREA IN BETWEEN THE TWO BUILDINGS, THIS WILL BE A PAVED, UM, AREA THAT WILL HAVE LIKE PICNIC TABLES.
IT WILL JUST BE, UM, KIND OF A STUDENT AREA FOR SOME OF THE OLDER STUDENTS.
UM, THE TREES IMMEDIATELY AROUND THE BUILDING ON THAT SIDE WILL BE PRESERVED.
EVERYTHING YOU SEE IN GREEN, THIS TREE RIGHT HERE, WHICH YOU SEE IN RED, AND THEN THESE ON THIS, THE SOUTH SIDE PLAN SOUTH OF THE GYM ARE PROPOSED TO ALL BE REMOVED.
THESE WILL ACT, WILL OBVIOUSLY BE IN THE MOST OF THEM IN THE WAY OF THE GYM, THE NEW GYM BUILDING.
BUT THERE IS MANY INFRASTRUCTURE CONNECTIONS.
THIS IS WHERE ALL THE INFRASTRUCTURE CONNECTIONS ARE FOR THE, THE GYMNASIUM BUILDING.
THIS PARTICULAR TREE IS DIRECTLY IN THE SIDEWALK PATH ON THE PLAN SOUTH OF THE, THE SITE.
[00:25:03]
I WILL ALSO ADD THAT THIS, THIS AREA, THIS UM, FIRE LANE IS ALREADY CONSTRAINED BECAUSE, UH, AND THE FIRE MARSHAL HAS MADE SOME CONCESSIONS TO HAVE PART OF THE STACKING TO HAVE A REDUCED FIRE LANE WIDTH TO, AND TO ALLOW STACKING IN A PORTION OF THE FIRE LANE, UM, SO THAT THEY CAN ACCOMMODATE NECESSARY QUEUING.SO WE COULDN'T HAVE WITHOUT, TO CREATE, UH, TO PRESERVE THAT TREE AND KIND OF CREATE A SIDEWALK THAT MEANDERS AROUND IT, UH, WOULD HAVE THROWN OFF ALL OF THIS AREA AS WELL.
UM, WOULD'VE CREATED A LOT OF SITE MODIFICATIONS THAT PROBABLY WOULD'VE BEEN PRETTY COSTLY.
I JUST, I MEAN, I, I, IT'S HARD FOR ME TO SEE THAT SIDEWALK ON THAT PLANE, SO I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT.
YES, THIS, THIS DARKER LINE IS ACTUALLY THE, THE EDGE OF THE QUEUING.
SO THE SIDEWALK IS ON THE INSET OF THE SECOND DARK LINE.
ALRIGHT, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? OKAY, DO I HAVE A MOTION? ALRIGHT, MOVE TO APPROVE CASE 1924 SUP 1 4 2 9 5 MIDWAY ROAD.
WESTWOOD MONTESSORI AMENDMENT SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS.
UM, KEEP THE FIRST ONE, UH, THE STAFF RECOMMENDED AND WE'D LIKE TO MODIFY THE SECOND SO THAT THE, UM, BUILDING MATERIALS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO BE IRON FOR THE FENCE, BUT PROHIBITED FROM BEING WOOD OR CHAIN LINK.
AND THEN ON THE THIRD, UH, DENOTE THAT THE, THE TEMPORARY STORM SHELTER SHOULD, SHOULD BE REMOVED EARLIER OF 18 MONTHS FROM A DATE OF APPROVAL OR 30 DAYS AFTER CFO.
CAN I JUST ONE QUICK QUESTION.
CAN WE ALSO INCLUDE NO WOOD FOR THE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE DUMP OUR DUMPSTER SURROUND REQUIREMENTS ARE.
IS IT MASONRY? UH, THE PROPOSAL IS MASONRY.
ALL IN ALL IN FAVOR, JIMMY DID IT.
