Agenda Item #9: Public Hearing — Conduct a Public Hearing and consider a
request for an amendment to PD Planned Development No. 54,
Tract 30 from CF/SF Community Facilities/Single Family to
Single-family Residential R-5 and modify the front yard and
side yard setbacks for Waterford Parks. The property is 2.8t
acres in the Michael See Survey, Abstract 544, Collin County,
Allen, Texas; located east of Bray Central Drive, south of
Everglades Drive.
Commissioner James Rushing recused himself from Item #9 and filed the appropriate
documents.
Lee Battle, Assistant Director of Planning and Development, presented the item to the
Commission. This zoning modification applies to the single row of houses to be constructed
south of Everglades Drive and north of the future Cheatham Elementary School. The Allen ISD
and the developer Christopher Jackson have been working through issues related to the design of
the school and construction of the road. They approached the City with a proposal that shifts the
street pavement south within the 60 ft. ROW and provides additional depth to the residential lots
to accommodate the houses being constructed. This will allow these houses to have front yards
similar in depth to other houses in the neighborhood, and will insure that the entire street can be
constructed with the school. Because a larger portion of the front yard will actually be parkway
(ROW), the setbacks which are measured from the property line need to be modified. A zoning
amendment is the only way to modify setbacks. This zoning also "resets" the base zoning to R-5
and establishes a 6 ft. side yard setback, which clarifies the requirements and makes the zoning
"cleaner" Staff recommends approval of this item.
Chairman Wendland opened the Public Hearing.
James, Peuiford, 1013 Denali Drive, Allen, Texas, President of Waterford Parks HOA, spoke in
opposition to the zoning request. He is concerned that a 10 ft. setback would not allow vehicles
to be puked in the driveway
Kent Hankins, 1000 Arches Park Drive, Allen, Texas spoke in opposition to the zoning request.
He is concerned that the City would allow the property owners for the subject lots to park
vehicles on the street.
Steve Houghtaln, 1021 Everglades Drive, Allen, Texas spoke in opposition to the zoning request.
He is concerned that the setbacks are changing. He stated that there was a reason why the
setbacks were established. He opposes the request because no other alternatives were discussed.
With no one else wishing to speak, Chairman Wendland closed the Public Hearing.
Christopher Jackson, 600 N. Peal, Dallas, Texas, applicant, spoke to the Commission. He stated
that deed restrictions will be filed for these lots and the owners for those houses will be under the
same restrictions as the rest of the subdivision. He also stated that other options were discussed
with AISD; however there were a lot of issues with those other options. He concluded by saying
although the setbacks would be different, to the average homebuyer the lots would look and feel
1 the same
The following people submitted a written statement in support of the request:

9. The motion carried
Agenda Item #10: Public Hearing—Conduct a Public Hearing and consider a
request for an amendment to PD Planned Development No. 73
for SC Shopping Center uses for an amendment to the Sign
Plan for the development. The property is 167.7 t acres in the
Village of Allen, Allen, Texas, located at the southeast corner
of US75 and Stacy Road.
Ogden 'Bo" Bass, Director of Planning and Development, presented the item to the
Commission. The Village at Allen project has been fluid in its design. In 2007 the City Council
approved a sign plan for the Village at Allen. However, at that time it did not include all of the
sign types for the development. The revised sign plan reflects all the sign types for the
development including ones that are currently on the ground. Staff recommends approval of this
item.
Chairman Wendland opened the Public Hearing.
With no one wishing to speak, Chairman Wendland closed the Public Hearing.
The following people submitted a written statement in support of the request:
Andrews Family Property, Exchange Parkway and Allen Station Drive, Allen, Texas
The following people submitted a written statement in opposition of the request:
Randall Wheeland, 1615 Wood Creek Lane, Allen, Texas
Chairman Wendland stated that since this development is so large, without adequate signage it
would be difficult to communicate ones way around. The proposed signage makes sense.
Motion: Upon a motion by Commissioner Mangrum, and a second by Commissioner
Rushing, the Commission voted 7 I FAVOR, 0 OPPOSED, to approve Item
10. The motion carried.
Agenda Item #11: Public Hearing—Conduct a Public Hearing and consider
amendments to the Allen Land Development Code by
amending Article V. Floodplain Hazard, to adopt new Flood
Insurance Rate Maps issued by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, to provide a penalty section, and make
general clerical updates to the existing language.
P
Chris Flanigan, Assistant Director of Engineering, presented the item to the Commission. The
City of Allen is a participating community in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In
this program, Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMS) are used to delineate specific areas of
flooding hazard. The current maps used in Collin County are dated January 19, 1996. As part of
a nationwide effort, FIRMS are being updated and the Collin County maps have now been
updated and will be effective on June 2, 2009 The NFIP requires that the floodplain ordinance
(Article V of the Allen Land Development Code) be updated to adopt the latest version of
FIRMS, which is a simple date change in the text of the code. Staff recommends approval of this
item.

With no one wishing to speak, Chairman Wendland closed the Public Hearing.
