Item Number 1 Approve Minutes of January 6, 2004, Regular Meeting.
Motion: Upon a motion by Commissioner Harvey, and a second by Commissioner
Wendland, the Commission voted 7 I FAVOR, and 0 OPPOSED to approve
the Consent Agenda. The motion carried.
Reeular Aeenda
Item Number 2 Public Hearing — Conduct a Public Hearing and consider an ordinance
granting a change in zoning on 20.229± acres of land to change the zoning
from "PD" Planned Development No. 9 and "R5" Residential to "CF"
Community Facilities. The property is situated in the Henry Wetsel
Survey, Abstract No. 1026, City of Allen, Collin County, Texas, located
north of E. Exchange Parkway and west of SH 5.
Mr. Hoover presented the Plan to the Commission.
Chairman Caplinger opened the Public Hearing. No one was present to speak for or against the
request. Chairman Caplinger stated that a number of responses were received by staff prior to
the meeting indicating support for the request. However, the adjoining property owners did have
concern about cut -through traffic that may develop. The Commission will consider traffic flow
during the platting process. Chairman Caplinger closed the Public Hearing.
Motion: Upon a motion by Commissioner Wendland, and a second by Commissioner
Harvey, the Commission voted 7 IN FAVOR, and 0 OPPOSED to approve
the Zoning Change. The motion carried.
Item Number 3 Public Hearing — Conduct a Public Hearing and consider an ordinance
granting a change in zoning on 27.17± acres of land from SC -Shopping
Center and TH-Townhome to R7 -Residential and LR -Local Retail. The
property is situated in the J. W Parsons Survey, Abstract No. 705, City of
Allen, Collin County, Texas, located at the southwest comer of Ridgeview
Drive and Alma Drive.
Mr. Hoover presented the Plan to the Commission. He advised the Commission that the
Applicant has changed their request; therefore staff will need to renotice the request and stated
that no action should be taken at this time.
The new request includes a zero lot line home with deeper lots. This allows for parking options
in the rear of the homes. The request includes a reduction in the Shopping Center zoning to two
acres of Local Retail. Because of the extensive SC zoning across Ridgeview, reducing the SC on
this parcel will not have a negative affect on the residents of this development.
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION PAGE 3
JANUARY 20, 2004
Commissioner Culbertson asked if the new request changes the overall density of the
development. Mr. Hoover responded that it is reduced by four (4) units.
The Commissioners were concerned that the change to Local Retail (LR) zoning would open up
this comer for a service station. Mr. Hoover stated that LR does allow for a service station by
SUP. However, staff would not support any requests for a service station. Mr. Hoover stated
that several day care owners have inquired about this particular parcel.
The consensus of the Commission was they would not support a service station at Ridgeview and
Alma Drive.
Commissioner Sedlacek asked if the Open Space would be developed or left natural. Mr.
Hoover responded that the request does not include the development of the Open Space as an
amenity center, but it would be irrigated and maintained by the Homeowners' Association.
There will be 3.4 total acres of Open Space.
Jerry Sylo from Jones & Boyd addressed the Commission on the request. Mr. Sylo represented
the owner and the potential purchaser for this property. He explained the lots will be deeper,
going from 90 -foot depth to 105 -foot depth. Some lots will be 115 feet deep. The development
will consist of four (4) single -story products, and four (4) two-story products. The largest
product will be 2,900 sq. ft., and the smallest product will be 1,600 sq. ft.
Because of the deeper lots there will be fewer lots. The original request included 141 lots, and
the changed request includes 136. The interior Open Space lots increased in size from the
original request.
To address Commissioner Sedlacek's question about developing the Open Space, Mr. Sylo
explained at the current time they do not intend to develop the Open Space as an amenity center.
However, they will develop the Open Space if needed for marketing.
Mr. Sylo also asked for feedback from the Commissioners for possible addition Townhomes
located interior to the development.
Chairman Caplinger opened the Public Hearing. Two (2) individuals spoke in opposition to the
request.
Vance Barton
1420 Kingsley
Allen, TX
Mr. Barron asked what type of barrier would be installed to the south.
Ben Daniels
1338 Kingsley
Allen, TX
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION PAGE 4
JANUARY 20, 2004
Mr. Daniels also asked about the barrier to the south. He also stated he did not want townhomes
or a service station in this development.
Chairman Caplinger stated for the record that staff did receive several responses prior to the
meeting. He stated that the general consensus of these responses were in support of the concept,
however without townhomes.
Chairman Caplinger closed the Public Hearing.
Mr. Sylo re -addressed the Commission. He stated there was a 15 -foot drainage easement on the
adjacent property to the south. With an alley in the proposed development, there would be an
18 -foot setback. There will be 53 feet to the garage from the properties to the south. Mr. Silo
stated that the Open Space will have walking trails, trees, and benches.
Mr. Hoover addressed the Commission by stating that the ordinance states that six (6) unites are
allowed per building for townhomes. This request includes only three (3) units per building.
The new request is a much better request, and gives more of a single-family residential feel.
Commissioner Grimes was concerned about the look of excess concrete to the south backing up
to the existing residential properties. Mr. Sylo explained that there will be some landscaping on
the south end of the development.
Chairman Caplinger stated he would support the rezoning request, but would not support the
request for additional townhomes in the center of the development. Commissioner Culbertson
stated he wanted to keep the lower density of 136 lots.
The Commissioners advised they would support townhomes adjacent to Alma Drive, but would
not support interior Townhome zoning.
At staff s request, not action was taken.
Item Number 4. Public Hearing — Conduct a Public Hearing and consider an ordinance
granting a change in zoning on 15.459f acres of land to change the zoning
from "PD" Planned Development No. 54 for Multi -family to `PD"
Planned Development No. 54 to "TH" Townhome. The property is
situated in the Catherine Parsons Survey, Abstract No. 711, City of Allen,
Collin County, Texas, located north of McDermott Drive between Alma
Drive and Walters Drive.
Commissioner Harvey announced that he had a conflict of interest in this portion of the agenda
and left the bench.
Mr. Hoover presented the Plan to the Commission. He stated that staff has met several times
over the last couple of months trying to set development standards for this request. Mr. Hoover
advised that staff is not against the concept, but will require all issues to be addressed before
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION PAGE 5
JANUARY 20, 2004
presenting the request to the Commission. Staff recommended continuing the Public Hearing to
the Febmary 3, 2004, meeting.
Mr. Hoover presented several photographs of neighborhoods in the metroplex that were similar
to this request.
Jason Marshall, representing Pulte Homes, addressed the Commission. He explained that he has
met with the Raintree Homeowners Association, and plans to meet with them again next week.
Mr. Marshall outlined some of the details of the request. The front yards of the townhomes will
be the open space. He presented pictures of a similar development in Colorado Springs,
Colorado. This request is for five (5) units per building.
The townhomes that will be adjacent to the Raintree Development will include a 30 -foot front
yard.
Chairman Caplinger opened the Public Hearing. The following individuals spoke in opposition
of the request:
Mike Wilson
3 Rainforest Circle
Allen, TX
Mr. Wilson stated he did not want townhomes or multi -family. He also asked about the rear
elevation of the townhomes. He wanted to know if anything else had been considered for this
property. In Mr. Wilson's opinion, there were already enough apartments at this location.
Steve Saint
6 Rainforest
Allen, TX
Mr. Saint stated he liked the idea of townhomes over multi -family. He did state that he would
like to see businesses other than "Good Year" or car repair. He asked that when the grading for
this development begins, that the City consider the rodent problems that were experienced in the
past. He wants the land to be graded from north to south.
Mr. Hoover addressed the Commission and stated that the property is already zoned MF, and that
apartments could be placed at the location. Townhomes at the location are a plus.
Commissioner Grimes stated he felt that the concept would be better in an older area where we
we trying to rehabilitate.
Commissioner Wendland stated that though he was sympathetic to the residents of Raintree, the
request is an improvement over MF

Mr. Hoover stated that the front yards of the townhomes adjacent to the Raintree development
will be an open space that will be viewed by those residents. Raintree homeowners will see open
space and not alleys or fences.
Commissioner Sedlacek stated she was not sure that the best interest of the residents in the
proposed development was being considered. The residents on the west and south boundaries
will be facing the existing commercial development and McDermott Drive. Commissioner
Sedlacek stated that when the request comes back she would like to see rear elevations.
Chairman Caplinger stated he wanted to see adequate parking when the request comes back. The
exiting proposal has parking too far from the residence. If a resident cannot park in their garage,
they have to walk to their parking area. This sounds too much like multi -family.
Chairman Caplinger stated that the concept presented still looks like an apartment complex.
Motion: Upon a motion by Commissioner Wendland, and a second by Commissioner
Sedlacek, the Commission voted 5 IN FAVOR, and 0 OPPOSED with
Commissioner Harvey abstaining, to continue the Public Hearing to
February 3, 2004. The motion carried.

Subject: zoning case Z-10/5/03-61 (Catherine Parsons Tract
This letter is in response to the above referenced zoning case. As I am not able to attend tonight's meeting, here is my
recommendation for the proposed zoning change.
To the Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission:
I, Cathy Fischer, with property located at 1125 Hampton Drive, Allen, Texas, hereby OPPOSE the proposed zoning
change for the following reasons:
Since I have a teenager who has recently obtained his driver's license, I am acutely aware of how much traffic is on
McDermott Drive between Walters Road and Alma. It has increased tremendously with the opening of all the new stores
such as Lowe's, Pei Wei Asian Diner, and the other various businesses including the multitude of banking institutions. I
feel the area has an extreme amount of congestion due to these businesses and would be greatly affected if a multi -family
development would be constructed along this thoroughfare. I also feel there is a sufficient amount of multi -family units in
this area already with Settler's Gate Community and the units on Benton Drive. One of the reasons I moved to Allen was
the small amount of multi -family units here as compared to cities such as Plano or McKinney.
If multi -family construction is allowed, the traffic light at Walters Crossing Drive would have to be installed again. I don't
feel it would be safe to have eastbound traffic trying to tum North (left) at this intersection with the extreme downhill grade
at that point.
Personally, I would prefer single family housing in the area and would personally buy a lot if I was allowed to build my own
dwelling, since now I need a home with a three -car garogel
Thank you for your attention to this matter

Dear Mr. Hoover,
I am a resident of Allen, and I live at 1407 Kingsley Drive in Glendover Park I proved to Allen approximately 14
months ago, and I am very excited and happy to live here. Allen is wonderful.
I received a notice in the mail regarding a proposed zoning change (Zoning Case Z-12/4/03-79 (Watters Branch
Ltd.)). I will not be able to attend the Public Hearing, and I wanted to take this opportunity to express my opinion.
I strongly support the proposed zoning change for residential from townhome and retail shopping. As opposed to
commercial and retail developments, being located in proximity to residential areas:
1. offers better family Irving environments
2. offers improved personal safety and improved property security
3. provides reduced congestion and less traffic
4. provides increased privacy
5. maintains and/or improves personal property value
As I mentioned, I am very happy with my new home in Allen and with the community in general. However, ever
since moving into my home, I have been concerned about the current zoning of the land included in the proposed
zoning change. I am quite happy to learn that this proposal is in place, and I very strongly support the proposal.
Thank you for your time and consideration of my opinions.
Sincerely,
Tim Riehl

Thank you for your email and concern about the St. Jude proposal. Luke Drive and Notre Dame will
NOT be continued into the church property as streets; however, there will be a driveway entrance into
the parking lot from Luke Drive. This is not a zoning issue. The zoning proposal is strictly to
determine the proper use of the property. The southern portion is already zoned for Community
Facilities and the northern portion is zoned for residential. A church is allowed in residential zoning
with a Specific Use Permit. This request is to zone the entire property as Community Facilities.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I have a questiontooncem regarding the proposed construction to take place at the St. Jude Catholic Church
located West of SH5 and South of Sunrise. From the Architects drawing and from reviewing the Church's website,
I cannot determine if the Church is intending to build Luke Drive and Notre Dame Road (small streets in our
neighborhood which give alley access to our residents) through to the Church property. From the Architect's
drawing, it looks like there is a road going to Luke Drive; however it also looks as if the fence goes all the way
around with no breaks. I am just confused on the intentions of the Church. My main concem is that, if these roads
are built through to the Church's parking lot, then our neighborhood is guaranteed to be used as an alternate
entrance/exit and for overflow parking.
If you do not know the answer to my question, could you please direct me to the person I should be contacting. I
would truly appreciate it.

Planned Development No. 9 was zoned Community Facilities (CF) specifically for the church, as a
church is an allowed use in CF zoning. The property to the north is currently zoned for residential,
and a church is also allowed in residential zoning with a Specific Use Permit. The request is to
rezone the entire 20 acres for Community Facilities to allow expansion of the existing St. Jude's
Catholic Church and make the zoning consistent on both properties.
