Tabled Item: Request to Establish
Permanent Zoning of
PD on 434± Acres
Requestor: Tomlin Properties (cont'd) (Agenda Item IV)
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Mayor Pro Tem Farmer and seconded
by Councilman Womack, the Council voted 7 - 0 to remove
this item from the table for consideration. The
motion carried.
Dave Dennison, with Tomlin Properties, presented to the
Council the revised land use plan and revised land use regulations
and reviewed in detail those changes.
Mr. Dennison advised that Tract 1 had been delineated on the
land use plan as Tracts 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D and 1E, with A, B, and E
as commercial districts and C and D as office districts. Starting
on Page 2 of the land use regulations, Mr. Dennison reviewed the
land use regulations. He indicated that in paragraph gg, the
wording should be added "shall be allowed by specific use only".
He then reviewed the area regulations for these tracts.
Mr. Dennison advised of the addition of paragraph 4(4) on
page 3 adding the requirement for the 25' landscape buffer along
F.M. 2170, and that it had been added in the general standards
of development.
Mr. Dennison then reviewed the provisions for floor area
ratios, the use of flood plain area inthefloor area ratio
calculations, the identification of Tract 3B for the community
facilities tract and the inclusion of a metes and bounds
description of that property; the density of the minimum dwelling
size for apartments listed on page 10; the medium density
residential of the two-family dwellings in Tract 5B on F.M. 2170;
and the density of Tract 8 for single-family residential
development.
Mr. Dennison advised that there was a correction on page 15
in paragraph 1 which read "292 units" rather than the 320 units.
There was considerable discussion by the Council with
Mr. Dennison on the additional requirement of the 100' building
set -back line along F.M. 2170 and particularly as it pertained
to the two-family residential tract and the single-family
residential tracts along F.M. 2170. There was also discussion
on the placement of a residential street within that 100' building
set -back area, the 100' set -back requirement starting from the
street right-of-way of F.M. 2170, and the consideration of this
question at the time of platting and not as part of the zoning
request.
Mr. Dennison continued his presentation and indicated that
the tracts of land in this development and as shown on the land
use plan had been described in new metes and bounds descriptions
which were located at the end of the land use regulations.
The Council discussed with Bill Petty, Director of Community
Development, the 100' building set -back requirement for this
development in comparison to the Willard Baker tract, and Mr. Petty
advised that this requirement had been placed on their land use
map. Mr. Petty advised that to include it in this zoning action,
it would just need to be simply stated that the city will require
a 100' building set -back from the street right-of-way of F.M. 2170.

improvements on Bethany Road before this development should be
approved; the use of the term "hardship" on certain tracts
pertaining to the 25' landscape area requirement and which

of just dedicating the park land to the city rather than to the
city and the school district.

Use of City Easement by
North Texas Municipal Water District (Agenda Item X-C)
As a matter of information City Manager Jon McCarty advised
the Council of the upcoming constructionofthe 92" McKinney
Parallel Water Line and the location of the line beginning at the
intersection of F.M. 2170 and F.M. 1378. He stated that the
preliminary engineering had shown the line to be located on the
north side of the roadway. However, since some problems would
be incurred by placing the line in that location, the North Texas
Municipal Water District is considering the use of the city's
existing 30' easement located on the Southside of the roadway.
Mr. McCarty stated that there is now existing in that
easement an 18" water line located on the north end of the easement.
In a preliminary review of the situation, it appears that the NTMWD
water line could be placed in that easement as well as another
water line that might be needed by the City of Allen in the years
to come.
The Council discussed briefly the location of the water line
in the west portion of the city and how it will effect development
in that area.
City Manager Jon McCarty advised the Council that if it is
determined that the District wants to use this easement, an item
would be brought back for the Council's consideration at a later
date.
This item was received as a matter of information. There was
no action taken on this item.
