TUPELO PLANNING COMMITTEE

August 20, 2018

CALL TO ORDER

Chairman Ted Moll called the meeting to order. Other members present were Mr. Gus Hildenbrand, Mr. William Smith, Mr. Scott Davis, Mrs. Patti Thompson, Mr. Mack-Arthur Turner, Mrs. Margaret Ann Kennedy, Mr. Christian Reed, and Mr. Eddie Armstrong. Mr. Hildenbrand provided the invocation and Mrs. Thompson led the Pledge of Allegiance. Staff present were Pat Falkner and Marilyn Vail of the Development Services Department.

Mr. Moll explained that the meeting was a special called meeting to expedite action on a major development project. Minutes of the August 6 meeting were not presented.

NEW BUSINESS

RZ 18-04: Application from OB Land LLC to change the zoning of Parcel 084N-19-022-04, Lot 4 Pinnacle Point Subdivision from Mixed Use Residential to Mixed Use Commercial Corridor Zoning District

Mr. Harvey Matheny of Pickering Engineers in Memphis, and Mr. Bruce Patel of OB Land LLC spoke on behalf of the application. Mr. Matheny provided a layout of the development area, showing where Lot 4 was located within the overall development and explained that it had originally been approved for a one story retail building. The developers of the project made a decision to locate the two hotels in the project together and near the Memory Care facility. Lot 3 to the South had been rezoned from Mixed Use Residential to Mixed Use Commercial Corridor earlier this year.

Mr. Falkner explained that the application to rezone Lot 4 is necessary because, while the hotel was an eligible use under the site plan approval, the underlying Mixed Use Residential zoning limited the height of structures to 3 stories. The hotel is to be 4 stories which is allowed under Mixed Use Commercial Corridor zoning.

Ralph Piper, Rial Drive resident, asked if Rial Drive would be used to access the development. Mr. Matheny answered that it would not, instead it would be abandoned at the property boundary.

Mrs. Kennedy asked about potential other uses of the property under MUCC zoning. Mr. Falkner stated that the MUCC zoning allowed a wide range of commercial uses appropriate for areas along major thoroughfares. He pointed out that the MUCC zone on the other side of Gloster Street extended to a comparable depth and included two hotels in a second tier of properties not directly adjoining Gloster Street.

APPENOIX G

Mr. Hildenbrand made a motion to approve the rezoning. Mr. Smith seconded the motion which was approved on a unanimous vote.

• MSP17-01 Request from OB Land LLC to revise the approved Major Site Plan of Pinnacle Point.

Mr. Matheny and Mr. Patel again spoke regarding the application. Mr. Matheny presented the changes that are being proposed in revision of the Major Site Plan originally approved in August 2017. Some of the changes were due to the need to protect a wetland area discovered on the site. This caused the independent living duplexes to be shifted to the south and east, away from the project boundaries, and the originally designed roundabout is to be eliminated. The assisted living facility is moved closer to the south property line and also is increased in size by approximately 12,000 square feet. Two lots are added to the project; lot 3 on the south side and lot 7 on the north. The original site plan showed retail on the two central lots; the plan is now to put retail on the two north lots, 6 and 7, and placing hotels on lots 3 and 4.

Mr. Matheny explained that the required landscape buffer with a solid fence and 20 feet of planted area would be provided along the north and south property lines, with one exception, on part of the area where lot 3 adjoins the Dunbarton subdivision. Because of elevation differences requiring a retaining wall, there is a section where the buffer will only be ten feet wide. However, most of this area abuts a landscaped common area rather than a residential lot.

Mr. Piper of 1811 Rial Drive spoke and said that he had not received a mailed notice of the meeting.

Mr. Hildenbrand said that the project would generate considerable traffic into Gloster Street and asked if a traffic light might be needed at the entrance. He noted that this would be decided by Mississippi Department of Transportation.

Mr. Patel responded that there were traffic signals at the Lakeshire intersection to north of the project and at Spicer Drive to the south. Mr. Matheny reported that the traffic load presented to MOOT had included all of the current development except for one hotel. He also noted that, as required by MOOT, all of the property in the project and the two outparcels on the frontage would use the one access point.

Mr. Matheny provided images of the two hotels to be constructed on lots 3 and 4.

Mr. Davis made the motion to approve the site plan revision, seconded by Mr. Smith. The motion passed unanimously.

Mr. Moll set the next meeting for September 10, with the work session to begin at 5:15 that day as well.

APPENDIX G

The meeting was adjourned on a motion by Mr. Hildenbrand seconded by Mrs. Thompson.
