Tabled Item
Lombard Joint Venture
(Agenda Item IV)
Chairman Glass read the agenda item into the record as follows:
"Tabled Item - Consider site plan approval for a shopping
center development to amend the PD ordinance. The request
is submitted by Lombard Joint Venture, and is a tract of
land situated in the Peter Wetsel Survey, Abstract No. 990,
City of Allen, Collin County, Texas, and being part of a
tract of land conveyed by Duncan-Strawn, Inc. to John W.
Gibson, Trustee by deed recorded in Volume 909 at page 580
of the Deed Records of Collin County, Texas. This site plan
approval will be an amendment to Planned Development No. 5,
and is further described as being at the northeast corner of
Roaring Springs and F.M. 2170."
MOTION: Upon a motion by Commissioner Garcia and seconded by
Commissioner Armand, Commission voted 5 and 0 to
remove Agenda Item IV from the table.
w Bob Wade, Architect for Lombard Joint Venture, indicated the
following changes had been made to the site plan: (1) air
conditioning units have been moved to the ground; (2) fire lanes
have now been noted all the way around the building, as well as
the turning radiuses; (3) public access to the adjoining property
is noted; (4) car parking spaces are all now 9 x 18; (5) utility
easement has been increased to 25' with an additional 10' dedica-
tion for utility easement in the parking lot.
Commissioner Armand asked if the landscaping area would be sprinklered
and Mr. Wade stated that all landscaping areas will be sprinklered.
He further stated that Japanese and Wax Leaf Ligustrum 4 and 5 feet
in size will be used on the northern boundary. He stated these are
planned to reach the required 8 foot height in 18 months, or two
growing seasons. He presented a letter from Thompson Landscaping
to substantiate this.
Discussion followed as to living barriers opposed to masonry barriers.
Commissioner Wilson questioned what the ordinance says about
responsibility in case the living screen should die. Bill Petty
commented on this situation and stated that the ordinance does cover
this situation; however, staff would have time available to police
this situation on a complain only basis. Mr. Petty made a recom-
mendation that the burden be put on the landscape architect to meet
the ordinance. Commission should keep in mind that many site plans
are approved by staff and staff would follow the confines of the
ordinance.

surrounding the dumpster. He asked if there was room for a truck
to reach the dumpster. It was noted that there is only one
dumpster for the entire development. Mr. Wade stated the air
conditioning unit will be moved.
Mr. Petty added that the air conditioning unit will be addressed
in the construction plans.
Commissioner Garcia asked about the noise level of the air
conditioning units, and Mr. Wade stated the units will fall
within the required noise levels.

Mr. Petty stated that was only half the fire lane, and the other
half will be on the next development.

Mr. Pert Vertinen presented the plan to the Commission.
He stated this is a residential development of 500 units.
He indicated the park sites and a 50 -foot loop collector
street. He stated he feels the duplex office and commercial
development on the west of Alma would justify the use of
alleys in this area of his development. One variance to
normal usage is the lack of alleys in the center of this
development. These are oversized lots and is a watershed
area.
Bill Petty commented for staff and stated that staff would
recommend at the time of final plat that the watershed area
be delineated as 100 -year flood plain; slab elevations would
be 2 feet above flood level; all lots meet full size require-
ments, but a few are in question; normally we do not allow homes
to back up to thoroughfares, but in other cases commission has
approved this type of screen. He further stated that the center
section is not shown on the FEMA maps as being a part of the
flood plain. This would need to be established before final
plat approval.
Proponent stated that he had no problem with staff recommen-
dations.
Chairman Glass asked about the center section in regard to
garages. Were these to be front entry garages or front entry
rear garages. Proponent stated these would be front entry
rear garages.
MOTION: Commissioner Wilson made a motion to approve
Agenda Item V with the following stipulations:
°At time of final platting, the 100 -year
flood plain would be delineated and the
developer would recognize that all slabs
would be above that 100 -year flood plain.
°That the draw recognized in Block D will
not be in the 100 -year Flood Plain.
070 -foot building line must be met on all lots.
°Block D developer does recognize that although
there is no alley, we will not accept front
entry garages.
-That along Alma Drive in the cul-de-sac areas
that landscaping buffer and berm used to add
to the screening between this development and
Alma Drive.
Motion was seconded by Commissioner Garcia.
Proponent asked for a definition of the term "berm."

Tabled Item
Westwind Properties, Inc. (Continued)
Staff stated their recommendation was to recognize the fact
that the Parks Department will be maintaining this and they
should work with the developer on the design. Staff would
probably not recommend berms of any slope that would be
difficult to maintain.
Commissioner Armand questioned the consistency with the
Comprehensive Plan and Mr. Petty stated that all Planned
Developments have been incorporated into the Comprehensive
Plan.
Commission voted 5-0 to approve Agenda
Item V with stipulations outlined above.
Final Plat

Survey, Abstract No. 462, and the MCBain Jamison Survey
Abstract No. 491, City of Allen, Collin County, Texas,
and further described as being north of Chaparral Road
and east of Jupiter Road."
Mr. Robert Porter presented the final plat to the Commission.
Mr. Petty stated this final plat was designed in the same way
the preliminary plat was approved. Some of the street names
had been changed because of duplications. Mr. Petty reviewed
the design of Chaparral Road.
Commissioner Armand questioned the size of some of the lots as
to the accessibility of the driveways. Comissioner Garcia
questioned the design around Chaparral and Westwind Drive. Mr.
Porter stated it would be a 15 -foot median. He further added
that there are 263 lots in this plat.

situated in the City of Allen, Collin County, Texas,
out of the William Perrin Survey, Abstract No. 708,

This development would be done in two phases and the landscaping
will follow the same theme as Plaza 1.
Mr. Carpenter staed he would be contacting adjacent property
owners in regard to the paving of Jupiter Road.
Staff commented that they feel this is designed to be compatible
with the existing corner and is satisfied with the standards.

Building B. Mr. Carpenter advised it would depend on the
intended use for this building.
