City Planner Brixius went over the site before the commission. As part of Towne Lakes
Third Addition, Outlots E and F were created which are intended to remain zoned B-2A,
Business Commercial. These areas will continue the commercial development along the
County Road 19 corridor, consistent with development to the south.
CPDC has opportunity to sell three lots within the proposed preliminary plat with the
potential users being a lighting retail store located on Outlot 3, proposing 9,500 square
feet of retail space; on Lot 5, a 6,300 square foot future restaurant site; and on Lot 6, a 68
room hotel with proposed recreational swimming area attached to the hotel.
Based on staff review of the development applications for Shoppes at Towne Lakes One,
we offer the following recommendations are broken down: Preliminary Plat approval,
Variance approval, and CUP/ PUD approval.
Jon asked to the whole site reviewed subject to Fire Code. Yes it will be sent to Futrell
for Fire Code inspection review.
Councilmember Berning commented about the original plan they came in with.
They changed the flow of the traffic to go with the different uses in the commercial
businesses. They also feel some of the traffic will be coming in from what looks like the
backside of the site.
Councilmember Berning inquired about the number of parking stalls for the restaurant. Is
there enough or could there be more.
City Planner Brixius commented that we calculate the number of stalls based on the
seating area and the kitchen area.
Representative from CPDC shared that he was under the impression that the businesses
would maintain a shared parking spaces. It was based on the 50% shared parking.
Berning also asked about the number of parking stalls on the hotel site. He shared that
parking just keeps getting shorter and tighter.
50% off-site parking use is only applied when there is a non-buildable adjoining lot. The
sites are tight right now considering the circulation of cars. But then to bring in a delivery
truck it will be even tighter. We are looking at more congestion in the site.
There were additional comments and concerns discussed regarding the site layout and the
parking lots and circulation of the vehicles.
Chair Leintz, Commission member Kocon and Council Liaison Berning, all agreed that
they did not want to see street parking for overflow parking.
