Mr. Tom Simmerley, DeShazo, Starek & Tank, reviewed the traffic analysis with the Commission. The north/south roadway between Ridgeview and Watters running through the Bush and Brown properties was discussed as to whether it should be a four -lane or six -lane divided road. Mr. J. T. Dunkin conferred that this road will be a six -lane divided road at the time of construction. The assumption that Hwy. 121 will be designated as a freeway was discussed, as the traffic study was done with the assumption. Mr. Pat Atkins, Don Tipton Engineering, spoke before the Commission and stated that the property would be developed at a level of service C under the conditions that exist at the time of devel- opment. Mr. Bill Wines stated that the State already has the R.O.W. for an eight -lane road for Hwy. 121, whether it be a freeway or not. Staff suggested that the level of service C be connected to the status of Hwy. 121 when the property develops. M ALLEN PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION JULY 10, 1986 PAGE FOUR Tabled Item Allen 121 Centre (Cont.) (Agenda Item VI) Mr. Atkins discussed the different ownerships of this property and suggested that the parcel to the west needs to be developed separately from the parcel to the east as two separate tracts, with the infrastructure completed in each tract before development would occur. Chairman Glass asked Commission if there were any questions con- cerning the use regulations. Mrs. Elizabeth Roberts questioned the batch plant designation and was advised that it would be allowed only on a temporary basis for construction of the streets in the development. Commissioner Armand questioned the definition of Heavy Commercial. Mr. Atkins stated it would be a retail/office mix. Staff stated this term was so broad it would be difficult from an enforcement aspect and Mr. Atkins stated they would be more specific in this regard. Mr. Atkins stated that the setbacks proposed are the same as those in other tracts in this area. He stated that they could provide Commission with existing and future traffic generation rates. MOTION: Upon a motion by Commissioner Armand and a second by Commissioner Karlsruher, Commission voted 5 FOR and 0 OPPOSED to table Agenda Item VI. The motion carried.

Mr. Petty asked proponent if they were aware of the City's requirements for the operation of a private club. Mr. Berger stated yes. He added that the coffee shop was separate from the club area; however, they planned to serve alcohol in the coffee shop. Mr. Petty requested a floor plan of the area where alcohol would be allowed to be served.

Mr. Dan Sefko, J. T. Dunkin & Associates, made the presentation to the Commission. The proposal is located in Neighborhood District 14 and 15 south of Stacy Road and north of Exchange. He stated the alignment of Allen Heights was predicated on previously approved zoning. He stated that they were prepared to dedicate 20+ acres to the City as desired. Their request does not include any medium density or multi -family uses as allowed in the Comprehensive Plan. M ALLEN PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION JULY 10, 1986 PAGE SEVEN Public Hearing Dabney -Bowen Joint Venture IV (Cont.) (Agenda Item VIII) Chairman Glass opened the public hearing. The following persons either had questions regarding this request, or spoke for or against the request. Mr. Don Dillard, Representative Hassie Hunt Tract Mr. Paul Gilliland Mr. Bill Grantland Chairman Glass closed the public hearing. Mr. Tom Keener spoke in regard to the shopping center acreage and the lack of multi -family in the request. He provided the Commission with Deed Restrictions that proponent had submitted. He stated that the high density allocation should not be used in the medium and low density areas; however, the higher density in this request could be compensated in other areas of the district. He added that the traffic study had been submitted to the Council of Governments (COG), and they have advised that there is probably no problem with this request. Their final report has not been received at this time. He stated that 7.6 acres of the proposed dedicated park site are outside of the flood plain. Mr. Mark Thornton advised the Commission that this would be acceptable. Mr. Keener stated that dwelling unit credits were given for the areas in the flood fringe and park dedication outside the flood plain. Mr. Dillard reminded the Commission that their property, which is adjacent to the Dabney -Bowen tract, includes a six -acre park at the water treatment plant. Mr. Petty questioned the net acreage in the shopping center. He was advised that it was 10.7 acres. He further discussed the commercial acreage allowed in this neighborhood district. Mr. Thornton reiterated that the 71� acre park site, in association with the greenbelt, would be sufficient for a park site. Commission discussed further the density already in place in r* this Neighborhood District. Mr. Keener stated the shopping ■L center and the impact of Tract 7 on Neighborhood District 15 are two items the Commission needs to examine. 190 ALLEN PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION JULY 10, 1986 PAGE EIGHT Public Hearing Dabney -Bowen Joint Venture IV (Cont.) (Agenda Item VIII) Proponent stated that the location of the road exiting the Buckingham property is not a problem for them. Mr. Sefko stated that the park land would be dedicated by use of plat as the area began to develop. Chairman Glass stated that District 14 is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan with respect to dwelling units. District 15 is over to some extent; however, it might be offset by the lower density to the east. If the park is dedicated, then there is some consideration that could be given. The shopping center acreage was a problem. Mr. Sefko stated that his company considered 8 to 12 acres as an appropriate size for a neighborhood shopping center. MOTION: Upon a motion by Commissioner Karlsruher and a second by Commissioner Armand, Commission voted 5 FOR and 0 OPPOSED to approve Agenda Item VIII with the modification that the shopping center tract be not more than 9 acres gross in Tract 3 with the balance from the originally submitted 12 acres going to R-5; with recognition of the Deed Restrictions; with recognition that a legal instru- ment will be filed as a running covenent with the land dedicating the park. The motion carried. Commission read the following findings into the record: 1. The eastern part of Neighborhood District 15 is extremely lower than 2.2 in density, which brings this district into parity. 2. Neighborhood District 14 is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. 3. The shopping center has been reduced to comply with the Comprehensive Plan. 4. The 7� acre park site is somewhat smaller than usual; however, it has been agreed to by the Parks Department because of the adjacent greenbelt. 5. Commission recognizes that the secondary roadway coming from Highway 5 is not necessarily shown at �I the location it will be constructed. 191 ALLEN PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION JULY 10, 1986 PAGE NINE Public Hearing Charles Bush (Agenda Item IX) Chairman Glass read the agenda item into the record as follows: "Public Hearing - Consider a request by Mr. Charles Bush to change the present zoning of "AO" Agriculture -Open Space to "PD" Planned Development including Corridor Commercial of Office and Retail, and Industrial Technology uses including Light Industrial. This tract of land is situated in the Francis Dosser Survey, Abstract No. 719, and being a resurvey of a called 152 acre tract of land and a called 295 acre tract of land in said Dosser Survey, and a 5 acre tract of land in said Phillips Survey as described in a deed recorded in Volume 203, page 31 of the Collin County Deed Records; further described as being Tract 1A, located west of U.S. 75 and south of Hwy. 121." Mr. J. T. Dunkin presented the proposal to the Commission. Chairman Glass opened the public hearing. Mr. Bryan Bush, 5797 S. Laredo Crt., Aurora, CO 80015, spoke in regard to this request. Chairman Glass closed the public hearing. Mr. Keener stated that the Bryan Bush tract to the east was approved with the IT tract as minimum lot sizes of 4 acres. This proposal is requesting as low as 2 acres with an average of 3 acres. COG has not returned the traffic analysis, but preliminary indications are that there is no problem. Mr. Petty discussed the size of the collector streets to the north and south of the property. It has been shown as 60 feet. He stated this road is probably going to need to be the width of an industrial collector road, or 80 feet. Mr. Dunkin stated that the additional ROW would not be a problem for them. Commissioner Armand stated he felt this tract should be consistent 192 with that approved in the Bryan Bush tract. Mr. Petty stated that the location of Ridgeview Drive was not set, and that fact needs to be recognized. The zoning in this case will need to be tied to the center of the road. 192 ALLEN PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION JULY 10, 1986 PAGE TEN Public Hearing Charles Bush (Cont.) (Agenda item IX) It was further noted that no development should occur until the infrastructure is complete. Commissioner Armand requested that proponent send the Commissioners a copy of his map showing the property owners in this area. Chairman Glass suggested a two-acre minimum with 9 tracts, which would be an average of 4 acres per tract. Mr. Dunkin stated they could allow the minimum 2 acres and a number of tracts that would allow an average of 4 acres, all depending on the alignment of Ridgeview. Commissioner Armand stated the possibility of the road to the west might need to be 80 feet ROW should be recognized. Mr. Petty stated that the need will be for 80 feet of ROW. Commissioner Armand stated he feels the Commission should wait for the traffic study to be returned from COG and the changes suggested tonight should be incorporated in the submission before action is taken. Commission stated that the following items were requested to be changed in the proposal: 1. ROW should be changed to 80 feet. 2. The infrastructure should be completed prior to development. 3. Change the allowable lot sizes. 4. The zoning should be tied to the center line of Ridgeview Drive.
