WORKSHOP SESSION - 6:45 P.M.
With a quorum of the Council Members present, the workshop session of
the Allen City Council was called to order by Mayor Farmer at 6:45 p.m. on
Thursday, May 19, 1988, in the Conference Room of the Allen Municipal
Annex, One Butler Circle, Allen, Texas. Other city staff in attendance were
Charlotte Smith, Finance Director, Bill Petty, Director of Community
Development, and Mark Thornton, Director of Parks and Recreation.
Discussion of Consent Agenda
and Regular Agenda Items (Agenda Item II)
Mayor Farmer began the review of the Consent Agenda items. There was
no discussion needed on any of the items.
Mayor Farmer reviewed Agenda Item VIII, Public Hearing and Consider
Adoption of an Ordinance Amending Water and Sewer Rates. Charlotte Smith,
Finance Director, spoke before the Council on the rates to be included in the
ordinance. There was no discussion needed on this item.
Mayor Farmer reviewed Agenda Item IX, Public Hearing on Request for
Permanent Zoning of "PD -R2" (Planned Development - Residential) on 21.6106
Acres of land. The Council discussed the issue regarding the escrow of
funds for the roadway improvements to F.M. 2170 and how that would be
handled. City Manager McCarty advised the Council that a facilities
agreement would be used to guarantee the escrow of funds for those
improvements. The Council then discussed the use of the zoning designation
"FP -PD" (Flood Plain - Planned Development) and why that designation had
not been used for this zoning request since the property appeared to be
located on the flood plain. City Manager McCarty explained to the Council
how that zoning designation is used, and that a flood plain analysis is to be
done on this property to determine if there is any flood plain area and that
the designation of the flood plain area analysis would be tied to the platting
process.
Bill Petty, Director of Community Development, spoke before the Council
on this zoning request and how the plat of the property could be brought
back before the Council if flood plain is delineated on this property. There
was further discussion by the Council on bringing back the plat before the
Council since final approval on final plats had been delegated to the Planning
and Zoning Commission.

Discussion of Consent Agenda
and Regular Agenda Items (cont'd) (Agenda Item II)
Mayor Farmer then reviewed for the Council the variances that are being
requested on this property, the need for the flood plain study and the matter
of open space. There was more discussion by the Council on the placement
of the "FP" (Flood Plain) designation on this property and what effect it will
have on this development in the future.
Mayor Farmer then reviewed Agenda Item X, Approval of the Bids and
Authorization to Enter a Contract for the Municipal Complex Infrastructure.
City Manager McCarty advised the Council of the circumstances surrounding
some problems with the lowest bidder and the bid bond that they had used in
this bid process. Mr. McCarty then advised the Council of the next lowest
bidder and that there had been some problems with them wanting to intervene
in the reference check process on the lowest bidder and wanting copies of
the lowest bidder's bid bond. City Manager McCarty advised the Council that
he was going to recommend that this item be tabled in order that the city
staff can do more research into the three lowest bidders in this process.
Mayor Farmer then reviewed Agenda Items XB & XC, approval of the bids
and authorization to enter a contract for the Fire Department siren project
and the construction of Cottonwood Bend Park. There was discussion by the
Council on the fact that only one bid was received on the Cottonwood Bend
Park project and if that posed a problem. Mark Thornton, Director of Parks
and Recreation, spoke before the Council on the solicitation of bids for this
project and that several bidding documents had been sent out to other
contractors, however, only one bid was received. He could not explain to the
Council why the other contractors did not bid this simple contract. He
added that the one bidder was a reliable contractor and had done other work
for the city.
Mayor Farmer reviewed Agenda Item XI, approval of the Amendments to
the Bylaw and Local Regulations of the Allen Industrial Development
Corporation, Appointments to the Board of Directors and review of corpora-
tion expenditures. Councilman Rex Womack advised the Council that the
Council -appointed members to the Board would be making a recommendation
to the Council on this agenda item.
Mayor Farmer then reviewed Agenda Item XII -A, Appraisal District
Budget. There was no discussion on this item.
Mayor Farmer reviewed Agenda Item XII -B, Consider Items Related to
EAS (Extended Area Service). Councilman Jim Wolfe advised the Council that
he would be presenting a recommendation of the Council -appointed Telephone
Subcommittee on this agenda item.
Mayor Farmer reviewed Agenda Item XII -C, Collin County Public Officials
Association meeting. The Council briefly discussed that they were not able to
attend this meeting since it was being held on this evening and that the
topic, 911 service, was an important one. The Council discussed the fact that
this association had changed their meeting night to the third Thursday of the
month, thus representatives from Allen could not attend. City staff advised
that they had notified the officers of that association that Allen would not
be able to attend if it was continually held on that night. The Council also
requested that the city staff found out if there were any handouts for that
presentation on the 911 service and that the city receive a copy of it.
Mayor Farmer reviewed Agenda Item XII -D, Items of Interest. City
Manager McCarty advised that he had some information to present to the
Council on the status of the work of the Economic Development Alliance.
Mayor Farmer reviewed Agenda Items, XIII, XIV, and XV. There was no
discussion on those items at this time.

Future Agenda Items: Site Plan on
Project Facing Main Street (Agenda Item III)
Bill Petty, Director of Community Development, spoke before the Council
on a site plan that was in the planning stages that would be forthcoming to
the Council for a project to be constructed on the cul-de-sac created on
Birch Street which would be visible from Main Street. Mr. Petty explained
that the developer had done a lot of engineering work and was planning to
use this property for retail and an office/warehouse facility, with the
overhead doors to be facing Main Street. Mr. Petty pointed out to the
Council that this could be a concern since it will be visible from Main
Street.
At this time, Mr. Petty also pointed out to the Council that on the
zoning request discussed earlier in the meeting, if the Council so desired to
have the plat come back before the Council for review, the city staff would
recommend that it be the preliminary plat, not the final plat.
Items of Interest to the Council (Agenda Item IV)
At this time, the City Secretary Marty Hendrix advised the Council that
the publisher of "The Allen American", Wayne Wedgeworth had requested
permission of the Council to use the city's flag design in an upcoming issue
of a publication called "The Collin County Super Shopper" that would be
promoting the local businesses in Allen. Ms. Hendrix had a copy of the
publication and showed it to the Council. After a brief discussion, it was the
conclusion of the Council that they had no objections to the flag design
being used in this publication.
Ms. Hendrix also advised the Council of the upcoming informal reception
for candidates for appointments to boards and commissions that is usually
held prior to the first Council meeting in June. Ms. Hendrix pointed out that
the reception is usually held at 6:30 p.m. , with presentations by the city staff
on the various boards to be conducted at 7:00 p.m. After a brief discussion
by the Council, it was concluded that the reception would be held at 6:30
p.m., with the Council's workshop session to began at 7:00 p.m. while the city
staff is conducting their presentations on the various boards and commissions.
The Council discussed with the City Manager and the City Secretary if
letters of appreciation had been sent out to the people that participated in
the EAS Hearing in Austin and also to the city's attorney, the attorneys for
the General Counsel and members of the Public Utility Commission. The
City Manager and City Secretary advised that the letters had not been sent
out as of this date, but would be sent out. The Council noted that the
Chairman of the Public Utility Commission, Dennis Thomas, had submitted his
resignation to that Commission.
The workshop session was recessed into the regular session at 7:28 p.m.

Robert Pope, representing the requester, F.M. 2170 Limited Partnership,
spoke before the Council on this request for permanent zoning of "Planned
Development - Residential R-2". Using a site plan of the property, Mr. Pope
reviewed the location of the residential lots on the property, advised of the
lot sizes, reviewed the variances being requested on the property, advised of
the willingness to enter into facility agreements for the construction of
utilities on this site and for escrow of funds for the street improvement to
F.M. 2170 (McDermott Drive). Mr. Pope provided further information on the
types of homes that would be built in this area and distributed to the
Council an artist's rendering of a front elevation of one of the homes. Mr.
Pope also advised the Council of the deed restrictions to be placed on the
property.
Mary McDermott Cook, adjacent property owner, spoke before the Council
on her concerns regarding this development. Jim Harris, an attorney with
Thompson and Knight representing the McDermott Family, spoke before the
Council on additional concerns regarding the flood plain area and how this

minary results had been of that study as to how much drainage is on the
property.
Bill Petty, Director of Community Development, spoke before the Council
on the issue of the flood plain study, the zoning designation of "FP -PD" and
why it was not included on this property.
There was considerable discussion by the Council with city staff on the
issue of the flood plain study and the zoning designation of "FP -PD".
Mr. Petty spoke before the Council on the platting process when flood
plain has been determined and how the Parks and Recreation Board must
4W review the plat and the fact that the Council can request to review the
preliminary plat.
There was further review and discussion on the variances that were being
requested on this site, the width of the street being adequate, the number of
lots in this subdivision and if that will change due to the flood plain study;
if the facilities agreement will be reached prior to the platting process; the
size of the cul-de-sac street and if it is adequate to handle the fire fighting
equipment.
Again, there was discussion on the zoning designation of "FP" and if it
should be included in the ordinance.
At the Council's request, Albert Halff spoke before the Council on the
size of the McDermott's Lake that was located to the north of this property.

the Parks and Recreation Board, and that the plat would have the limits of
