A work session and regular meeting of the Design Review

A worksession of the Design Review Commission was held on April 9, 2015, at 5:00 pm in the
Development Conference Room of Town Hall, 500 Poplar View Parkway.
The following staff members were present: Town Planner, Mr. Jaime Groce; Assistant Town Planner,
Mrs. Nancy Boatwright; Planner, Mr. Scott Henninger; and Administrative Specialist, Sr., Mrs. Shari
Michael
ROLL CALL:
Allen – present, Doss – present, Johnson – absent, Sarrio – present, Lesnick –present, McCarty –
present, Compeau- present.
Quorum present.
Chairman Doss called the worksession to order and welcomed the commissioners, especially, Mrs.
Compeau who is returning to the DRC, and Mrs. Linda Lesnick who is a new member this year.
He asked Mr. Scott Henninger to introduce the applicants.
Mr. Henninger stated that Mr. Jeff Blackledge representing Collierville Auto center was here this evening
with ideas for changes to the building adjacent to the applicant’s current building. The applicant will be
requesting a modification to their CUP to allow them to expand their operation next door at 615 W.
Poplar Avenue, and they will still maintain the dealership at their current location at 651 W. Poplar
Avenue.
Mr. Blackledge explained that they are basically taking two pieces of property and blending them
together. They will use the same kind of board and batten, colors, and wood columns like what is on the
current building. There is a lot of glass on the front of the building, which was originally used as a
showroom, but they will try to remove the amount of glass, but still have it open so that you can look in
and see some cars. They will use the same colors as next door, and the same lighting features. There is a
larger overhang roof and they will install some wood brackets underneath to add some architectural
features. The landscaping will match what has been previously done but they will be increasing it on the
left side of the building in order to break up that huge wall.
Mr. Henninger asked Mr. Blackledge to elaborate on the frontage toward Poplar Avenue.
Mr. Blackledge explained that they will be taking out the hedgerow along the front and they will continue
with the rhythm of the landscaping plan which is in place to the adjacent property. They are going to take
replace the glass on the storefront and bring down the siding, replace that with rectangle windows and
create a nice rhythm with wood columns and natural stained wood brackets. The ramps and handrails will
disappear and there will be a small planting bed in its place.
Mr. Henninger stated that there will be some small changes to the parking lot.
Mr. Blackledge explained that they will take out a ten-foot section of asphalt next to the large wall on the
east side of the building. They will plant trees and foundation plantings to break up that façade. The light
poles throughout the site will match what is next door. The signage has not been fully designed yet but it
will also match what they have next door.
A discussion ensued regarding the plants to be included in the landscaping beds around the building.
Mr. Mike Hamby, owner of Collierville Auto Center, explained where the pine trees will be located and
DRC 4-9-15

how they will landscape around the east side of the building. Lighting can enhance the building a lot as
well and they intend to place all the lighting to that effect.
A discussion ensued regarding the condenser and compressors which are currently outside, and they will
be moving that equipment inside the building, and breaking up the huge east wall and possibly use taller
plantings in the landscape beds to help create a breakup.
Discussion ensued regarding the current garage doors which will be the doors to their shop. They will
either paint them two shades different than the building or use doors with some glass features.
It was the consensus of the commissioners that they would like to see as much done as possible in order to
improve this highly visible nonconforming property.
Hearing no further discussion, Chairman Doss adjourned the worksession at 5:25 pm

Formal Agenda
DRC15-01 Glenn Farms Subdivision, Lots 2 and 3 – Request approval of a Preliminary Site Plan for
Two multi-tenant flex buildings totaling 99,528 combined square feet on 10.28 combined acres located
on East Shelby Drive just west of the proposed extension of Progress Road.

Mr. Jaime Groce gave the staff presentation.
EXHIBITS:
He explained the site data summary of the 1. Applicant’s cover letter (3/10/15)
property. Each lot is a little over 5 acres and 2. Preliminary Site Plan (received 3/11/15)
the applicant plans on building industry flex/ 3. Site Rendering (received 3/11/15)
office space on each lot. These buildings could 4. Building Elevations (typical of both buildings)
be used for warehouses, offices, or evening

light manufacturing.
Parking is not as 5. Viper LED Light Fixture Detail (received 3/11/15)
restrictive for these uses as for retail or office
uses. The minimum pervious area is only 20% in industrial districts than with the rest of the Town which
is 30%. The applicant is providing a substantial amount of pervious area largely contributed by a creek
that runs through the property. There is more possible build-out to come; these are just the first of what
could be 330,000 square feet of office flex space in the subdivision.
Glenn Farms is a 7-lot industrial subdivision that was considered by the Planning Commission (PC) this
past Tuesday (4/7/15,) which they deferred the action for this item until their May 7, 2015 meeting. The
PC had questions about how sewer systems would be provided to the lots. This Plat still needs to be
approved in order to add infrastructures to the “pad ready” lots and the Final Plat needs to be recorded
before these lots can be recorded and building permits pulled. The role of the DRC this evening is to
give a recommendation to the BMA for of the Preliminary Site Plan and decide if it meets the Design
Guidelines.
There is entry signage that was designed to enhance the gateway entrance at a major intersection of
Progress Road and Shelby Drive. This site is located across the street from Exact Commerce which was
built in 2009 under the new Design Guidelines which have been revised since. Exact Commerce used tiltup concrete construction which is what the applicant would like to use. The applicant also plans on
having a similar parking layout as Exact Commerce, and parking in the front yard as required by the
Guidelines.
The applicant has provided the 40-foot buffers along Shelby Drive and Progress Road which will contain
street trees as required. There will be sidewalks located along the public streets as well as internal ones
that connect to those systems. There will be a bio-swale that will help clean the water before it enters
into the storm water system. There is tree mitigation south of the creek to act as a buffer. There will be
an off-site detention on Lot 1 that will handle Lots 1-3. The loading docks are located between the two
buildings and will be screened on the northside causing minimal or no viewing of the loading dock zone.
There are 512 existing trees that will be preserved. The 226 existing trees are going to be removed with
78 trees being removed for Progress Road. The trees being removed for the widening of Progress Road
will not be mitigated, but as for the rest, the applicant is requesting to install 1.23 new trees per 1
removed. The applicant is required to have light pole details as part of the application. We still need
more details on the light fixtures that have been submitted and we try to uphold the same standards in
industrial areas as we do in commercial areas. The applicant would like to use three different colors on
the buildings, lots of glass on the storefront, to try and bring a high-tech look. To achieve this look they
will use canopies to capture the storefront area, use of individual doors and change in roof lines. The
applicant would like to use three different shades of gray with the tilt-up concrete construction and a deep
reveal and deep score joint with the forming of onsite panels which will set it apart from the Exact
Commerce building.
Chairman Doss asked if there were any questions of staff.
Alderman Allen asked if the PC voted this site plan down at the last Planning Commission meeting.
DRC 4-9-15

Mr. Groce stated they did not turn it down. It was a split vote on approval of the subdivision and the way
the PC bylaws read, is that a split vote means there was no affirmative motion. Then a commissioner
made the motion to defer this item and the plat to May, and those motions passed.
Alderman Allen asked if the applicant had Shelby County’s permission to use the septic tanks for all lots
in the subdivision.
Mr. Groce stated they have not received it yet but are hopping to have it in hand by the time Glenn Farms
goes back to the May7, 2015, Planning Commission meeting.
There was discussion over whether or not it is the responsibility of the Town to approve the subdivision
if the County granted permission as there are no clear plans for getting sewer to the area.
There was a discussion over the lack of lighting information in the preliminary site plan.
Commissioner Compeau asked if this area was part of the 2040 Land Use Plan or the I-269 Plan.
Mr. Groce stated it is in the I-269 Plan Small Area Plan from 2009 predating the 2040 Land Use Plan.
Both the Site Plan and the current zoning are consistent with the vision for the area as an employment
center.
There was a brief discussion regarding the use of tilt-up concrete panels and if it is appropriate in this
context.
Hearing no further discussion, Chairman Doss called the applicant to the podium.
Mrs. Benda Solomito-Basar, Solomito Land Planning, 2067 Kirby Parkway, Memphis, representative for
the applicant, addressed the commissioners. She stated they are zoned for Restricted Industrial and
intend to have it be a very clean and light industrial area. She stated they are approved by the Shelby
County Health Department for septic on Lots 2 and 3. She explained that the building will have a hightech service type of tenants, and they do not feel that they will be high-end sewer users.
Alderman Allen inquired Mrs. Solomito-Basar about her awareness of the inevitable sewer lines they will
have to install.
Mrs. Solomito-Basar stated yes, they will be including a dry sewer in the development later and have
been working closely with Bill Kilp and the Town’s Engineers. The Preliminary Subdivision Plan they
submitted to the Town were looked at by the PC in April and had illustrated the developer installing the
dry sewer at his own cost.
There was a discussion over the pros and cons of septic systems the current proposed site versus moving
the site project across the street.
Chairman Doss asked if there were any questions for the applicant.
Vice-Chairman McCarty asked if there was anything else that could be added to the north façade to have
it match the other sides in looking like a storefront.
Mr. Scott Woodard, Woodard Architecture, 1014 Courtfield Cove, stated they can consider doing
DRC 4-9-15
5
something more with the elevation of the north façade. The only problem is the roof slopes down to the
back which limits the use of glass and other storefront contributors. They are willing to look at adding
some more 3D features to help make that walls stand out more.
Chairman Doss asked if there was any discussion regarding all tilt-up concrete panels.
Commissioner Compeau stated these will be the first two built in this area and will therefore set the tone.
There was discussion over the brick used at the FedEx building in the area.
Chairman Doss asked if there was any discussion regarding the light poles and fixtures and if they
comply and meet the Town standards before permits are issued.
Mr. Groce stated there are conditions of approval that will guarantee the light poles and fixtures will
comply with the Town standards.
Mrs. Solomito-Basar stated that they are in agreement with the conditions of approval contained in the
staff report and the light poles will comply with the Town’s Standards.
Commissioner Compeau asked about the corner treatments.
Chairman Doss stated the corner treatments will be on both sides evidentially. One side now and the
other one will be completed when lot 4 is developed.
A discussion ensued regarding the appropriateness of tilt-up concrete panels at this location given the RI
zoning and its use on Exact Commerce across the street.
Hearing none, Chairman Doss asked for a motion.
Motion by Alderman Allen, and seconded, to recommend approval of a Preliminary Site Plan (see
Exhibit 2) to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BMA) for Glenn Farms Subdivision, Lots 2 and 3,
which would allow two multi-tenant flex buildings totaling 95,000 combined square feet on 10.28
combined acres located on East Shelby Drive just west of the proposed extension of Progress Road,
subject to the following conditions:
A. Identify how the solid waste needs of the development will be addressed. Provide, with the Final
Site Plan, a detail of any dumpster enclosures.
B. Show and label on the landscaping plans with the Final Site Plan the sight triangles, along with
their regulatory basis and how measured.
C. Change the labels of the “painted concrete” panels used on all parts of the building except for the

DRC15-04 – Price Farms PD, Phase 2 – H&M – Appeal of a staff decision related to window signage
and a request to exclude awnings on the storefront for a Site Plan Modification/Exterior Alteration
application for the H&M retail store in the Carriage Crossing Life Style Center.
Mrs. Nancy Boatwright gave the staff
presentation. She explained that the applicant is
requesting to be allowed to omit the requirement
for two of the four store front elements required
in the tenant manual and to affirm or find error in
staff’s decision that the illuminated graphics
boxes are signage. She stated the DRC may
approve deviations from the Carriage Crossing
Tenant Manual, which they have done in the
past. She reviewed the definitions of the graphic
boxes. As a PD, the Outline Plan can be amended to
not visible off the property.

Policy
allow illuminated graphics boxes in specific areas
The applicant would like to use images on internally illuminated graphics boxes during the day and night
that portray a lifestyle and trend, and do not convey location, costs or sale. Four of the illuminated
graphics boxes are proposed within 280+ linear feet of storefront, less than 10% of the display window
area. This type of grouping is what the H&M brand has on their stores globally.
Chairman Doss asked if there were any questions of staff.
Vice-Chairman McCarty asked if the applicant is here because of the Town’s Guidelines or the Carriage
Crossing Sign Policy.
There was a discussion over whether or not the DRC is supposed to structure their decision based on the
Town’s Guidelines or the Carriage Crossing Tenant Manual.
A discussion ensued over other Carriage Crossing store fronts that do not have awnings.
Mrs. Boatwright stated the Carriage Crossing’s CSP specifically prohibits internally illuminated signage
in show windows. The landlord has approved the designs of these light boxes. The question is whether or
not these proposed light boxes are signs.
DRC 4-9-15

There was a discussion over why this item was brought to the DRC and the different ways the light boxes
could be interpreted.
Mr. Paul Reinke, General Manager for Carriage Crossing, addressed the commissioners. H&M is a
global brand and this is the first store for them in this region. There is a brief period of time to establish
this merchant. He believed by omitting the need for canopy and awnings and allowing the graphic boxes
is a great way to show H&M we want them to succeed. He stated the way stores are displaying graphics
is changing in the form of these light boxes. These are still graphics that change throughout the season.
It’s a different way to get the message out to the consumer. He believes these light boxes should be
approved and does not view them as signage.
Mr. Eric Dull, project manager for the applicant, addressed the commissioners. He explained that these
light boxes are on all of their buildings throughout the world. It is a marketing tool for their business and
is not to be considered as signage.
Alderman Allen stated if we want to get the type of retailers that we want we need to change with the
times and that he does not have a problem with it.
Vice-Chairman McCarty stated this is a marketing tool and it is using the same media as signage. If they
weren’t going to follow the Life Style Manual then they would have to revert back to the Town
Guidelines. The Town Guidelines do not permit internally lit signs. He doesn’t believe from a technical
stand point that he could approve it.
Commissioner Compeau stated she agrees and is concerned how can retailers with smaller storefronts
have something similar to H&M. It may not have the store’s name on it but it is marketing its clothing in
a way that no other retailers are and some may not have the ability to.
Mr. Dull stated what we are showing is basically in all of the store windows.
Vice-Chairman McCarty stated because it is internally lit and does communicate clothing that they are
selling that he believes it is interpreted as a sign.
There was a discussion over revising the criteria of the Planned Development regarding the choice in
using light boxes for future store uses.
Commissioner Lesnick stated she doesn’t have a problem with this. She believes it is new and exciting
and will benefit Carriage Crossing by bringing in more people.
Mr. Reinke suggested that the CSP be revised to fit needs for changing times.
Chairman Doss stated we are being asked to decide something that we don’t even have any responsibility
to decide for. The only reason you come to the DRC is if you want to deviate something that goes against
your policy. You are saying they are deviating because the last sentence of your CSP states “prohibits
internally illuminated signage in show windows.” This informs me that you would like to have it but
since your policy won’t allow it you want us to approve it. The problem is our policy will not allow it
either. As long as this is considered a sign no one can approve it because we don’t allow internally lit
signs. He doesn’t have any problems with omitting the awnings because they have done that before.
There was a discussion over the process of revising the CSP guidelines.
