ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:

 

A driveway for L&L Autolink, a commercial used car dealership under construction is located on the south side of SH 121 Business east of the Valley Ridge Boulevard intersection and the proposed driveway is offset from the existing median opening in front of the property. A left turn deceleration lane at the median opening was not required by TxDOT on westbound SH 121 Business. Westbound U-turns need to be restricted when the business is open to the public as there is no exclusive left turn storage bay. The Transportation Board considered this item at the June 18, 2019 meeting and voted unanimously (5-0) to approve the recommendation to the City Council.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

 

That the City Council approve the ordinance as set forth in the caption above.
