ALLEN PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION FEBRUARY 25, 1983 PAGE 2 Public Hearing - On a Zoning Change Request from R-2 to PD on 16.208 Acres by i Weston Blair (Cont.) Mr. Blair told the Commission of the many amenities his proposed development was offering including, berms and landscaping, open and recreational areas, playground equipment for small children, tennis courts, jogging trail, swimming pool, a clubhouse, parking garages, fireplaces, insulated doors and windows, and washer/dryer connections. Mr. Blair then addressed some items of concern that had been brought up by the Commission in a previous meeting including the fact that he has asked for a traffic flow study to be done; meeting side yard setbacks for the buildings; he researched a method of making the 8' brick wall stable or stationary; screening on the south side of the complex. He further explained that he has been working very closely with the two adjacent churches and that the Methodist Church would be using the parking lot in the office district for additional parking. Mr. Blair further explained that the SC district would be geared toward uses for the apartment dwellers. The Commission asked Mr. Blair to change the wording "open area" to "open space" in the multi -family district regulations. By concensus, the Commission asked him to delete financial institu- tions from the office regulations. There were some questions by the Commission which included, whether the open areas would be sprinklered; the type of live screening wall that would be placed on the south side of the project; the ingress/egress of traffic at Highway 5; whether the number of parking spaces met the intent of the Zoning Ordinance relative to the parking garages. The Commission expressed a concern as to the matter of the brick wall. They asked Mr. Blair to decide on one way to make the wall stable and put it in the PD Ordinance that way.
