Workshop Mr. Jeff Crannell (Agenda Item X) Chairman Bobby Glass reconvened into a Workshop with Mr. Jeff Crannell at 9:10 P.M. Chairman Bobby Glass read the agenda item into the record as follows: "Workshop with Jeff Crannell, agent for Buckingham Estates." Mr. Jeff Crannell explained that this presentation was not necessarily for approval or disapproval, it is a starting point from which to work. The Comprehensive Plan allows for a predominantly neighborhood residential area, with some multi -family and local retail surrounding the corners of Highway 5 and Exchange Road and Highway 5 at Stacy Road. Commissioner Garcia commented that Mr. Crannell's plan called for more retail and multi -family than what was alloted in the master plan. Commissioner Garcia told Mr. Crannell that he did not agree with the zoning he had brought to the Commission, and it was not even close to the Comprehensive Plan. He felt that this was a considerable deviation from the comprehensive plan, and he was very disappointed with the presentation. C 1 L1 ALLEN PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION JULY 25, 1985 PAGE EIGHT Workshop Mr. Jeff Crannell (Continued) (Agenda Item X) Mr. Crannell told the Commission that many of the residents were not Allen citizens at the time the new Comprehensive Plan was adopted. The residents felt that they were not fairly represented at that time. Commissioner Garcia commented that the residents were represented during the public hearings held on the Comprehensive Plan and that residents of the outlying areas were included in the formation of the Plan by serving on the Action sub -committees. Mr. Bill Petty told Mr. Crannell that the Comprehensive Plan was not a zoning map and did have some flexibility built in, but there had to be a good reason for the flexibility. Mr. Bill Dyer, a resident of Buckingham Estates, asked if the Master Plan was "sacrosanct, written in stone." Commissioner Jack Pennington said that minor deviations would be considered, but the overall area needs to reflect the Plan. Mr. Dyer brought up the problem with the school district boundaries, a concern expressed by all the residents. Buckingham Estates falls into the McKinney School District, although it is a part of the City of Allen. The Commissioners said that they had no control over the school boundaries, but they felt and hoped that eventually these boundaries would change to reflect inclusion into the Allen Independent School District. The Commission also noted that a major reason for maintaining the integrity of the Plan due to the size of the planned utilities in the area.
