Mr. Bob Shaw and Gary Kraus, with Graham and Associates, who represent the proponents, spoke before the Commission on this item. Mr. Shaw advised the Commissioners that Graham and Associates had taken the comments made at the last Planning and Zoning Com- mission meeting and had revised their plans for the 183 acre tract accordingly. Mr. Shaw advised the Commission of the market trends today for types of housing units. Mr. Kraus presented the originally prepared site plan for the planned development of the 183 acres and then provided a color - coded overlay of the revised site plan which took into consideration the recommendations made by the Commissioners. Mr. Kraus advised that they had moved all of the 9,000 sq. ft. lots to the east of the development, with a transition down from them to the 8,500 sq. ft. lots, to the 8,000 sq. ft. lots, and then to the 7,500 sq. ft. lots on the east. Mr. Kraus added that they had eliminated all of the 7,500 sq. ft. lots for the duplexes and used only the 8,000 sq. ft. lots for the duplexes. They are also proposing to place the duplexes to the north of the tract along Exchange Parkway. Mr. Kraus further advised that the Commissioners' concern in the development of the retail tract could be handled by making part of the Planned Development Ordinance require a site plan for the entire development of the retail tract at one time and not on a piecemeal basis. The other area of concern was the need for open space to adhere to the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and where to put the open space. Mr. Kraus advised that they had calculated that approximately 10 acres of open space would be required for this development, however, they wanted some guidance from the Commission as to where that open space would be placed. There was considerable discussion between the Commission and the proponents regarding the open space and the use in one large park site, small pocket park areas thoroughout the development, recreational areas to be maintained by Homeowners Assocations, and maintenance of the park sites by the City of Allen. It was suggested by the Commission that consideration be given to placing some type of recreational areas in the duplex districts. diM ALLEN PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION February 11, 1982 Page 3 Request to Annex and Zone 183 Acres Coronet Realty Development Zoning Case No. Zll-25-81-4 (cont'd) (Agenda Item III) Mr. Kraus went over the new figures for the number of lots represented in each square footage. The Commission had considerable discussion on the location of the various lot sizes and the dis- tribution of the size of houses.
