(Agenda Item V) Mark Thornton addressed the issue of the neighborhood park as shown on the Comprehensive Plan.

BILL WINES, 7606 Lairds, Dallas, stated he was in favor of this plan. He wants to see the road located along the southern border of his property. MR. JIM BROWN, 3200 Southwestern, stated he had voiced objection to the first proposal, but the new alignment being proposed is appropriate for his use. He has tentatively agreed to enter into a land swap with Bryan Bush for the two triangles at the inter- section of Ridgeview and Watters. MRS. BETSY SANDERSON stated she was in agreement with the proposal. Chairman Glass closed the Public Hearing. Chairman Glass stated that the alignment of Watters and Ridgeview with respect to Hwy. 171, the bridge across the creek, and the Roberts tract need to be addressed with some representation from the owners of the Roberts tract.

He stated he would like to take this proposal to the Park Board at the proper time. He indicated he was very pleased with this proposal. It was suggested that having rear entry requirements would give the Commission control in the area of duplexes. Consensus of the Commission was that this is an excellent project, and they would encourage proponent to bring forward their zoning amendment to the Planned Development. Mr. Petty suggested that the single family and Tracts 2, 4, and 5 could be site planned at this time. 11 ALLEN PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION OCTOBER 24, 1985 Page Seven Reconvene Workshop Session Pat Atkins, Heritage Park (Cont.)

Staff review policy (zoning analysis) is difficult to understand and he is requesting a simplified version.
