Mr. Wyatt responded that it was not for the bank specifically, but the total aggregate of the shopping center. Public Comment: None Member Gavaldon moved to approve the project. Member Meyer seconded the motion. Discussion: Member Craig would not be supporting the motion. She felt that with the amount of parking allowed in the shopping center, the additional spaces were not necessary. She is also not comfortable with the four additional parking spaces that were discussed. The motion was approved 5-1 with member Craig voting in the negative.

Planning and Zoning Board Minutes July 15, 1999 Page 2 of 7 Project: Harmony Safeway Marketplace, Lot 4 (Centennial Bank) Final PUD, #33-94D Project Description: Request for a 6,069 sq. ft., two-story bank building on 1.35 acres; located at the northwest corner of Harmony Road and McMurry Avenue. The site is Lot 4, Pad E of the Harmony Safeway Shopping Center. The parcel is zoned HC — Harmony Corridor. Recommendation: Approval Hearing Testimony, Written Comments and Other Evidence: Member Craig needed clarification why additional parking spaces were needed. Dennis Wyatt, Wyatt and Associates Architects, representing Centennial Bank, reviewed the site plans for Lot 4 including convenient parking for customers next to the building and 4 additional parking spaces next to the drive-thru area. Those 4 spaces were primarily for employee parking. Lot 4 had more parking than required. The applicant added the 4 additional parking spaces for employees so it would open the spaces closest to the retail area. Due to the surrounding area having restrictions of easements, etc., the applicant felt it necessary to add additional parking to be available when the rest of the center is complete. The additional spaces would be convenient for employees due to their location, and it would free up spaces in the front of the building. Member Craig's concern is those who park in the four spaces will have to park, then walk across the parking lot and drive-thru area with no sidewalk designation. Planner Shepard stated the proposal has eight spaces over the recommended guideline of 20 spaces. Mr. Wyatt added that the four spaces would be specifically for employees. The employees would arrive early or leave late, so it would not make for a constant in and out situation. There was a crosswalk specifically defined for the pedestrians to cross. The applicant felt the safety of the movement generated by the four spaces would be adequately addressed with the designated crossing area. Member Craig did not believe the pedestrians would cross at the designated area due to the skewed path they would have to take to get to the building. Mr. Wyatt stated that the bank would be willing to designate the parking stalls as employee only.
