Bill Petty, Director of Community Development, recommended that
since a topography study had been performed in this area and it had
been recommended that an appropriate site for the erection of a water
tower would be located in this tract of land, that this be discussed.
Upon discussion, it was recognized that an elevation of 700' had been
recommended. Staff recommended to Sibley & Wolff and the Planning
Commission that one of the acres in the proposed agreement to leave
at least 5% of their entire acreage in open space or landscaped area
be set aside for this storage tank.
Sibley & Wolff agreed with the Commission that they are receptive
to this arrangement and would dedicate the one acre site to the City
of Allen, with the agreement that the City of Allen be sensitive to
their architectural designs of the buildings to be located on their
sites and that they wish to maintain some flexibility as to the exact
location as long as the 700' elevation is maintained.
