Management Development Company for Brookside, being 108.543 acres out
of the R. C. Whisenant Survey, Abstract No. 1012 in the City Of Allen,

Preliminary Plat
Oak Ridge II
(Agenda Item IV)
Chairman Garcia read the agenda item into the record as follows:
"Preliminary Plat - Consider preliminary plat approval for Sumeer Homes,
Inc. for Oak Ridge II Addition, being a 9.3448 -acre tract of land situated
in the Peter Fisher Survey, Abstract No. 324, City of Allen, Collin Coun-
ty, Texas; further described as being located south of Exchange Parkway,
and west of Malone Road."
Mr. Keener presented the plat to the Commission. He stated that it should be
recognized that although this plat is in conformance with the zoning on the
property, approval will constrict the design of the adjacent property. This
Property was recently rezoned from multi -family to single family.
Mr. Carl Crowley, Sumeer, Inc., stated that his company is in the process of
Purchasing the remainder of the tract.
The Commission noted that the acreage indicated on the owner's certificate of the
preliminary plat is in error, and should be shown as 9.3583 instead of 9.3448.
This will be corrected.
MOTION: Upon a motion by Commissioner Biggs and a second byCommissioner
Kelley, the Commission voted 5 FOR and 0 OPPOSED to approve the
Preliminary plat as amended by the correction of the acreage.

Review
Subdivision Ordinance (Agenda Item V)

"Review Subdivision Ordinance."
Chairman Garcia suggested that it would be appropriate to send the Subdivision
Ordinance to the Development Subcommittee for consideration before making a
final recommendation to the City Council. He added that procedures for adoption
of preliminary and final plats are being considered by staff.
The Commission discussed issues related to the lighting fixtures and the consen-
sus was to include a recommendation in the ordinance for lighting fixtures with
terminology such as "environmentally sensitive" and "energy efficient."
The Commission agreed that the policy regarding screening and entry walls
should be forwarded to the Development Subcommittee.
Other Business:
Chairman Garcia stated that he will be requesting input from the City Council
regarding downzoning issues. He questioned whether the Commissioners were

other issues of mutual concern. The consensus of the Commission was that they
would be available for such a joint meeting.
