APPLICANT: Stan Copeland PROPERTY OWNER: SC and DB Properties PROPERTY 105 W. Main Street DESCRIPTION: ZONING: B-1 SIZE: Lot 1 - .244 acres Lot 2 - .208 acres Total - .452 acres OVERVIEW: Use: Phase I of the project was the Ice house, completed last year. Phase II of the project will be an Old Main Street Market and will center on the development of a pavilion that will primarily function as a Farmers Market and Produce Stand. The pavilion could also be used for other larger public functions. The dimensions of the pavilion will be 24’ x 72’ or 1,728 square feet. Of this total square footage, 1,440 (24’ x 60’) will be dedicated to the market. The remainder will be used for office and storage space. There will also be a stand-alone ADA men’s and women’s restrooms immediately west of the pavilion. Access: The market will use the existing drive approaches that the existing Ice House uses today. These drives were designed to also accommodate this use and are adequate. Parking: The parking requirement for a market of this type if considered retail would be 1 to 200 sq. ft.. The market requires 8 parking spaces. And the office requires 1. For a total of 9 spaces The site plan as submitted shows an extra 13 spaces for the future phase 1  III development. The developer has indicated that all the parking and access drives will be in place and stripped prior to completion of the Phase II Market Building, except for two handicap spaces located to the west of the Phase III Retail building. Sign: All signage will have to comply with city of Chandler sign ordinances. Setbacks: The setbacks are: rear - 0’, side – 10’, front – 25’. In order for the Phase II and Phase III buildings to comply with the required side setbacks the property needs to be replatted into one lot. The developer has indicated that this replatting will be done prior to the Phase II market being completed. Architectural standards: The Phase II Market Building and proposed restrooms are proposed to be all wood construction. As such, they do not meet the city’s architectural requirements. For this building to be approved as presented special approval is required. Landscape: Fencing has been established according to plans on the East and the North side of the property. Seven Chinese Pistachio trees have been planted and mulched. In addition knock out roses have been planted. Pink mullie Prairie grass will be planted along the north side fence. Irrigation will be added and gray rock will be added to finish the landscaping. The developer has stated that all landscaping and irrigation will be completed prior to CO being issued for the Phase II Market building. RECOMMENDED The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval of the ACTION: site plan as presented with special approval for the Phase II market and restrooms to be all wood construction with the following conditions: 1. The property must be replatted into one lot prior to the CO for the Phase II Market being issued. 2. All landscaping and irrigation must be completed prior to CO being issued for the Phase II Market. 3. All parking and access drives shown on site plan must be constructed and painted prior to Phase II CO being issued. (Except for the 2 handicapped spaces on the far west end of the Phase III building.)

COPELAND 13601 Greystone Dr. Farmers Branch, Texas Phone—214‐549‐7830 Email—srcope@sbcglobal.net February 1, 2014 Dear John, I appreciated the conversation on Thursday regarding the Staff Report on Phase II of our Old Main Street Station project. My regrets for being in Little Rock on the night of the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting and unable to attend on February 4th. My hope is that Dale Barnes and/or Don Copeland will be present to represent us. The Overview was right on target. I will address the issues that are underlined in the Staff Report. 1.) The site plan needs to indicate how much of the parking is going to be constructed with Phase II. There are twenty‐six parking spaces planned for the project and the pavement exists for twenty‐four spaces to be created by the completion of the Old Main Street Market (Phase II) with striping and concrete head in stops. This will give us fifteen more parking spaces than are required. 2.) To comply with the required side setbacks the property needs to be replatted into one lot. This will need to be done prior to the CO for the Phase II market being issued. As we discussed, we originally platted the property into two lots but as the project has developed we believe doing away with the division will best serve our purposes. We will be working with Cowan Surveyors who did the work on the original site plan and we will submit a redrawn plan without a lot division as we complete the application for Amending Plat (AP). 3.) For the property to be approved as presented special approval is required. The purpose for requesting a hearing that was granted in January, was to seek guidance on our architectural renderings and plans to build the Market Pavilion out of wood with a metal roof. This is to maintain the antique integrity of the building that will feature a wall made out of the wood of the old Tomato Shed that stood on the lot in the early days of Chandler. As we discussed there seemed to be unanimity on the Planning and Zoning Commission to pursue the building as planned though it is out of compliance with the city building code. 3.) All landscaping and irrigation should be completed prior to CO being issued for the Phase II Market building. Completing the landscaping and irrigation as you accurately described is our full intention. The only remaining issue that I can see from the Staff Report has to do with the two gender specific ADA restrooms. This will be a building extension of the Market Pavilion on a concrete slab approximately 15’ x 8’. We desire to replicate the look of the pavilion with the structure being constructed out of wood with a wooden pier and beam boardwalk to the restrooms that can easily be accessed from the pavilion or the parking lot. The restrooms will be between the Market Pavilion and the Old Main Street Shops (Phase III). The shops as rightly described, will feature antique brick, stone, wood and metal in compliance with the City of Chandler building code. The artistic mural on the eastside brick wall of the shops will face the Market Pavilion and will not be obscured by the restrooms. Should the Planning and Zoning Commission desire adjustments to the restroom plans, we can comply and hope this will not slow the process of approval. Our hope is to begin construction shortly after gaining approval. We are already in conversation with builders who seem to be excited about our project and are ready to move forward. We would like to be up and running with the Market opened by the first week of May. I can be reached by phone or email Monday or Tuesday to answer any questions to the best of my ability. Thanks for your helpful information. Sincerely Yours, Stanley R.
