Final Plat
Custer Hill Estates Phase A (Agenda Item IVl
Chairman Fulk read the agenda item into the record as follows:
"Final Plat - Consider final plat approval for Custer/Hedgcoxe L.L.C. for Custer Hill Estates
Phase A, being 37.677 acres located in the John Huffman Survey, Abstract No. 416, City of Allen,
Collin County, Texas; further described as being located east of Custer Road between McDermott
Drive and Hedgcoxe Road."
Mr. Petty presented the request to the Commission. He stated that the right-of-way on
Nottingham has been corrected to 60 feet. He added that Fox Glen is not a collector street, but
does provide 37 feet of paving for one block. In this instance, the 5 foot easement on each side
is appropriate. Notes have been added to the plat requiring 5500 square foot lots with average
of 6000 square feet in each phase of the development. All lots have a minimum 50 feet at the
building line.
Mr. Pat Atkins, Tipton Engineering, stated that they have complied with all issues identified on
the preliminary plat. Calculations of lot sizes were provided.
Commissioner Smith questioned the need for an additional collector street in the subdivision, and
Mr. Atkins reviewed the discussions that were held during the preliminary plat review, and the
traffic study that was completed on the entire development.
MOTION: Upon a motion by Commissioner Obermeyer and a second by Commissioner
Heller, the Commission voted 7 FOR and 0 OPPOSED to approve the final plat

Final Plat
Alpha Self Storage (Agenda Item V)
Chairman Fulk read the agenda item into the record as follows:
"Final Plat - Consider fruit plat approval for John Phillip Little for Alpha Self Storage Addition,
being a 2.251 -acre tract of land located in the William Perrm Survey, Abstract No. 708, City of
Allen, Collin County, Texas; further described as being located east of Butler Circle, on Butler
Drive."
Chairman Fulk indicated that the proponent has requested this item be removed from the agenda in order
to complete a facilities agreement for Butler Drive No action will be taken at this time.
Mr Petty offered by explanation that the proponent had initially chosen to escrow the appropriate funds
rather than enter into a facilities agreement; however, because of the indecision regarding the location of
Butler Drive, the proponent has now decided to complete the facilities agreement.
Chairman Fulk discussed the need for an appropriate dress code for the summer, which would
include a more casual attire.
Mr George Conner updated the Commission regarding construction projects.
Mr. Petty indicated that the tree preservation section of the Zoning Ordinance has been reviewed
and staff is of the opinion that a survey should be required with each preliminary plat. There is
a need that a process be included in the Subdivision Ordinance for review of these surveys, and
an amendment to the Subdivision Ordinance will be brought to the City Council at their July 18,
1996, meeting.
In addition, staff is proposing to include a requirement in the Zoning Ordinance for tree surveys
to be submitted with each site plan, and since the Zoning Ordinance requires a public hearing
process for amendment, the hearing at the Commission level is scheduled for the July 11, 1996,
meeting. It is anticipated that the Council will allow staff to set their public hearing on this item
for their July 18, 1996, meeting.
Mr. Petty further advised the Commission that the Council has recently authorized a new position
of Senior Planner in the Department of Community Development. An interview process has been
established. It is hoped that this person will be hired in the next two months. The person hired
in this position will be the official staff support to the Commission.
