Public Hearing
First Presbyterian Church (Agenda Item III)
Chairman Armand read the agenda item into the record as follows:
"Public Hearing - Consider a request by the First Presbyterian Church to
amend Planned Development (PD) No. 46 with site plan approval for Phase
1 of First Presbyterian Church. The property is described as a portion of
Tract 1, Deer Crest Addition to the City of Allen, located in the William
Perrin Survey, Abstract No. 708, Collin County, Texas; recorded in Cabinet
G, Page 287 of the Collin County Deed Records; more particularly described
as being east of S. H. 5, west of Jupiter Road, and north of the Oak Hill
Addition."
Chairman Armand advised that Commissioner Owen had completed an affidavit of
abstention on this proposal, and she excused herself from the bench at this time.
Mr. Keener explained that this property is located in a planned development,
which necessitates approval of the site plan with the public hearing process. He
stated that the parking requirement is satisfied, the site plan has been approved
by the fire marshall, and it satisfies the landscape ordinance. He added that a
master plan has not been prepared at this time; therefore, when further
development occurs, an additional site plan will be required.
Mr Keener stated that Zoning Ordinance requires dumpsters to be screened, and
staff is recommending that the exact location of the dumpster not be shown on the
site plan for various reasons. One reason is that the trash pickup service
sometimes has problems accessing the dumpster, and this necessitates the need for
it to be moved.
Commissioner Garcia discussed the problems of removing parking spaces or
landscaping when the dumpsters are relocated.
Mr. Keener stated that staff would address these issues at the proper time, and
will make certain that the landscaping and parking requirements continue to be
met.
Commissioner Folk questioned whether the fire hydrants are close enough in this
area to accommodate the development. Mr. Keener advised that the fire marshal
has approve the site plan; therefore, he considered this issue as approved.
Proponent has dedicated the right-of-way for S. H. 5.
Commissioner Fulk questioned the issue of maximum height. Mr. Keener stated
that in this planned development, the allowable height cannot exceed that of the
most permissive contiguous zoning district, which is the Light Industrial district
across S.H. 5. The maximum height in a Light Industrial district is 45', and this
site plan conforms to that specification.
Chairman Armand opened the public hearing.

Mr. David Olsen, Chairman of the Building Committee for the First Presbyterian
Church, 723 Spring Brook, Allen, spoke in favor of the request. Mr. Bill Hidell,
Architect, and Reverend Williams, pastor of the church, accompanied Mr. Olsen.
Mr. Hidell, Dallas, Texas, provided a front elevation of the building, and
presented to the Commission the location of the air conditioning units. He also
showed the Commission the location of the fire hydrant. He stated that the tower
has not been designed at this time, but is located on the site plan.
Chairman Armand closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Garcia stated he feels the use is allowable in this area, the height
is permissible, the necessary right-of-way has been dedicated, and the fire
hydrant location is approved.
MOTION: Upon a motion by Commissioner Garcia and a second by Commissioner
Lee, the Commission voted 6 FOR and 0 OPPOSED, 1 ABSTENTION,
to recommend approval of the site plan for the First Presbyterian
Church.
FINDINGS:
1. Adjacent zoning district allows a height of 45'. The site plan has a maximum
of 40'.
2. The site plan has been approved by the Fire Marshal.
3. The necessary right-of-way for construction of S.H. 5 has been previously
dedicated.
4. Adequate parking is provided.
Chairman Armand stated that he understands the ordinance to require a detailed
landscape plan and he suggested that the proponent prepare one for submission
to the City Council.
Mr. Keener clarified that the City does not have a landscape ordinance that
requires specificity at this time, and staff does not have the authority to require
a detailed landscape plan. However, the Commission has the authority in a
planned development to seek further information if necessary.
OTHER BUSINESS:
Chairman Armand suggested that the Commission relax their dress code for the
t
summer months and this was agreed upon.
