P-1 ALLEN PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MARCH 12, 1987 PAGE TWO Public Hearing Bethany 409 Venture (Agenda Item III) Chairman Browning read the agenda item into the record as follows: "Public Hearing - Consider a request by The Bethany 409 Joint Venture, represented by Don Tipton, Inc., to amend Tracts 3, 4, and 5, in "PD" Planned Development No. 22 to "FP -PD" Flood Plain -Planned Development No. 22, including the elimination of existing twin-plex lots, an overall net increase of 68 dwelling units, and reducing by amendment certain minimum dwelling unit sizes and lot requirements. This property is situated in the R. C. Whisenant Survey, Abstract No. 1012, City of Allen, Collin County, Texas, and being further described as south of Bethany Drive, north of Chaparral, east of Cottonwood Creek and west of Allen Heights Drive." Mr. Pat Atkins, Don Tipton Engineering, presented the proposal to the Commission. He was accompanied by Mr. Jim Douglas of the Bethany 409 Venture. Mr. Atkins stated he anticipates Phase 2 to be under construction within the next 30 to 45 days. The final plat for Phase 3 is under review at this time. The proposal under consideration is an amendment to the section south of Bethany. Proponent is requesting to reduce the twin-plex areas and are presenting a revised site plan. He stated the adjustment is necessary to meet the current market conditions. Mr. Atkins discussed the problems related to the construction of Chaparral Road west of the bridge and east of S.H. 5. Ile stated that if the problems were deemed insurmountable, proponent has offered to complete the additional 4 feet of jogging path that the Parks Department has proposed. Chairman Browning opened the public hearing. Mr. Ken Clevinger, 1606 Mountainside, has questions regarding the house sizes and lot sizes being proposed. Mr. Atkins advised that Neighborhood District 29 will remain within the density allowed by the Comprehensive Plan. Chairman Browning closed the public hearing. ALLEN PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MARCH 12, 1987 PAGE THREE Public Hearing Bethany 409 Venture (Cont.) (Agenda Item III) Mr. Petty advised the Commission that the Council of Governments has reviewed this proposal and advised that without the development of Chaparral, all the traffic from this development must use Bethany Drive. The COG states that this project will not adversely impact the roadway system unless additional residential and commer- cial development occurs in that area. Mr. Petty acknowledged that the construction of Chaparral is difficult at this time because of the problems of alignment and the fact that the property is partly in the Plano City limits. Staff recommendation is that the development of Chaparral be pursued. If this is not possible, then staff recommends that the shopping center tracts not be allowed to develop until such time as Chaparral is complete to S.H. 5. Mr. Petty stated that the flood plain study has been submitted and is under review at this time. He stated that if there is any fluctuation in the flood plain after the review is complete, then the development will lose any lots that are affected. Commission discussed the proposal to complete the additional 4 feet of jogging trail, and Mr. Atkins clarified that this would be in addition to the 4 feet already required. It would in fact be that portion that would otherwise be developed by the City Parks Department. Commissioner Armand stated he had no problem with the density increase requested. He feels the Chaparral Road and flood plain situation should be considered carefully. With regard to the bridge development, Mr. Petty questioned the proponent if the development of the bridge was going to be dropped in favor of the logging trail, or if this was a separate issue. Mr. Atkins advised that these were two separate issues. The jogging trail would be developed in lieu of development of Chaparral west of the bridge to S.H. 5. Additionally, the bridge will be developed by a 25% participation of the following parties: Bethany 409 Venture, Mr. Brooks, City of Plano, and Mr. Unruh. MOTION: Commissioner Armand made a motion to approve this proposal with modification that before this develops the flood plain study results will have to be taken into account for the plat; second, that prior to the shopping center tract being developed, a traffic study plan would be put into effect and that Chaparral and Bethany traffic would have to be maintained at a Level C or better. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Garcia. Commission voted 5 FOR and 0 OPPOSED. The motion carried. [1 ALLEN PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MARCH 12, 1987 PAGE FOUR Public Hearing Bethany 409 Venture (Cont.) (Agenda Item III) Findings: 1. The question on the bridge has been addressed. 2. Issues with regard to the flood plain have been addressed. 3. Increase in density is not a problem as that has precedence and does not impact any utilities. 4. Total amount of low density residential dwelling units in Neighborhood District 29 is within allocation target projections. 5. In the interest of the area developing, the single family detached units are more marketable than the twin-plexes. Final Plat Bray Central One (Agenda Item IV) Chairman Browning read the agenda item into the record as follows: "Consider replat approval for Bray Central One Addition being a tract of land situated in the City of Allen, Collin County, Texas, and lying in the John Fyke Survey, Abstract No. 325, W. J. Jackson Survey, Abstract No. 484, William Perrin Survey, Abstract No. 708, Catherine Parsons Survey, Abstract No. 711, and the A. B.

ALLEN PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MARCH 12, 1987 PAGE FIVE Final Plat Bray Central One (Cont.) (Agenda Item IV) Mr. Richard Waldorski presented the plat to the Commission. He stated it represents the addition of certain easements and minor lot lane changes to conform to existing zoning. An additional 5 feet or roadway easement has been included. The building set -back of 25' has been corrected from Hwy. 75 to Watters. It was submitted erroneously as 100 feet on the previous plat. MOTION: Upon a motion by Commissioner Garcia and a second by Commissioner Karlsruher, the Commission voted 5 FOR and 0 OPPOSED to approve the Bray Central One plat. The motion carried. Recommended Changes to the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance (Agenda Item V) Chairman Browning read the agenda item into the record as follows: "Discussion of recommended changes to the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance." The Commission and staff reviewed the complete Schedule of Uses for additional changes and additions. It was the consensus that this Schedule be brought to the Commission for a final review at their next meeting. Other Business: (Agenda Item VI) Mr. Petty asked the Commission for clarification regarding the zoning submission on PD 13 Tract 7. He understood it to be the Commission's desire to remove the 12.17 acres for the school site from the planned development and set it up as straight CF zoning, rather than making a change to the land use plan and have the 12.17 acres remain a part of the PD. The Commission advised that this was in fact their desire. Mr. Keener reviewed the upcoming agenda with the Commission. Adjourn: MOTION: Upon a motion by Commissioner Armand and a second by Commissioner Garcia, the Commission voted 5 FOR and 0 OPPOSED to adjourn the March 12, 1987, meeting of the Allen Planning & Zoning Commission, at 9:30 p.m. ALLEN PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION i MARCH 12, 1987 PAGE SIX p These minutes approved this o2G day of 1987.
