The motion carried. Mr. Jack Hatchell of Barton-Aschman stated that they have worked with the COG and have changed their Levels of Service from F and E to a Level of Service C. The roadway capacity was discussed in relation to the intersections. Mr. Hatchell stated that they have added dual turn lanes at the intersections to better obtain a Level of Service C. They have re -worked their submission to meet the suggestions by the COG. The proponent stated that they would provide the following: Rowlett Road/Exchange Parkway Provide dual left -turn lanes on the east approach; Provide dual right -turn lanes on the south approach; Construct an exclusive right -turn lane on the west approach. Watters Road/Exchange Parkway Dual left -turn lanes should be provided on the east approach; Exclusive right -turn lanes should be provided on the south and west approach. Mr. Keener made a change to his memo where he said that the entire roadway to 75 would be Level of Service C which is incorrect. It should read as Level of Service D from Watters Road to U.S. 75 and the rest of the facility would be a Level of Service C. Mr. Hatchell agreed that the use of dual turn lanes should be considered elsewhere in Allen. Mr. Keener stated that Mr. Michael Morris of the COG suggested that the Commission examine the problem of capacity rights. 176 L ALLEN PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION June 26, 1986 Tabled Item Folsom-Whisenant (Continued) PAGE FOUR (Agenda Item III) Mr. Glass stated that over in the west part that we do have 10 -acres of "SC" that is not in compliance with the plan but that was considered a reasonable trade-off for the 10 -acre park site. The Office Tract in Tract 4 is not in compliance but from an overall planning viewpoint it is compatible with the surrounding areas. The office tracts which have an allowable height of 8 stories are adjacent to single family; therefore, height limitations should be considered. MOTION: Upon a motion by Commissioner Armand and a second by Commissioner Browning, Commission voted 7 FOR and 0 AGAINST to approve Agenda Item III with the following modifications: 1. Intersection turn lanes be included as proposed. 2. Office Tracts 4 and 9 be restricted to 2 stories maximum and 1 story within 150 feet of a residential district. FTNnTNrC- 1. The Shopping Center tract in Neighborhood District 8 is not in compliance with the plan but this is a reasonable location at a major intersection fitting for the realignment of Exchange and Alma. 2. Consideration should be given to the dedication of the 10 -acre Park Site. 3. Rowlett Road should be considered a secondary thoroughfare and the proposed alignment is appropriate to create a perpendicular intersection. The motion carried. 177 ALLEN PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION June 26, 1986 PAGE FIVE Tabled Item Buckingham Crossing (Agenda Item IV) MOTION: Upon a motion by Commissioner Akin and a second by Commissioner Karlsruher, Commission voted 7 FOR and 0 AGAINST to remove this item from the table.

Public Hearing Paragon Group (Agenda Item IX) Chairman Glass read the agenda item into the record as follows: "Public Hearing - Consider site plan approval by Paragon Group on "PD" Planned Development No. 3, Tract B, Allen Business Centre Industrial Park for a truck parking lot. The proposed 3.7555 acre tract is located in "PD" Planned Development No. 3, situated in the William Perrin Survey, Abstract No. 708, City of Allen, Collin County, Texas; further described as being located north of Bethany Drive and west of Prestige Circle. This property is currently zoned Planned Development No. 3 - Light Industrial District. Mr. Don Hodges of Paragon Group made this presentation, and stated that the truck parking facility consists of 10 spaces for 40 foot trailers. He stated that Texas Star Express will be the company occupying this lease space and parking facility. It would be used for over -night, temporary, holiday, and weekend parking. The company is a contract hauling firm, and their cargo consists mainly of paper goods, household goods such as groceries, cleaning soaps, and new automobile parts. They will be carrying no hazardous materials what so ever and they are restricted due to insurance requirements. Chairman Glass opened the public hearing. I ALLEN PLANNING 6 ZONING COMMISSION June 26, 1986 PAGE EIGHT Public Hearing Paragon Group (Continued) (Agenda Item IX) The following persons spoke AGAINST this request or had concerns and questions: 1. Mr. Vern LaHart, DLM, Allen, Texas; 2. Mr. Bill Frederick, 302 Willow Creek Circle, Allen, Texas; 3. Mrs. Evelyn Peabody, 304 Willow Creek Circle, Allen, Texas; 4. Mr. Sonny MCCutchen, 212 Willow Creek Circle, Allen, Texas. The site plan showed that the proposed location would be 850 feet south of the closest rear property line of the residential district to the north, and future development on both sides of the proposed facility would eventually screen the truck parking lot with buildings. However, the proponent agreed to screen the north and south walls of the truck parking lot with a living screen. The screen would be of plant material and grow to a height of 8 feet in height outside the security fence. There was a concern as to the lighting of the facility in relation to the surrounding residential and other businesses. MOTION: Upon a motion by Commissioner Akin and a second by Commissioner Karlsruher, Commission voted 6 FOR and 0 AGAINST with 1 ABSTENTION, to approve the request with the following stipulations: 1. Parking facility must meet City of Allen's Construction and Engineering Approval. 2. There should be an 8 foot living screen north and south of the facility. 3. There should be adequate lighting that meets the City of Allen's Specifications. FINDINGS: 1. If the trucking company were a distribution center rather than just offices, trucks would be allowed to be parked at the loading docks under Light Industrial uses. 2. Large trucks would normally be used in a Light Industrial District. 181 ALLEN PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION June 26, 1986 PAGE NINE Public Hearing Paragon Group (Continued) (Agenda Item IX) FINDINGS: (Continued) 3. Trucks would be parked in a secured, off the street location rather than seeking out individual on -street parking. 4. This would bring another business to Allen and provide for additional local occupations. The motion carried.
