Final Plat
Cottonwood Bend 4B (Agenda Item III)
Chairman Rarlsruher read the agenda item into the record as follows:
"Final Plat - Consider final plat approval for Cottonwood Bend 4B by C.B.
4 LTD., a tract of land situated in the R. C. Whisenant Survey, Abstract
No. 1012, and the R. C. Ingraham Survey, Abstract No. 462, in the City of
Allen, Collin County, Texas, and being out of a 71.712 acre tract recorded
in Volume 3266, Page 208, of the Deed Records of Collin County, Texas;
further described as being south of Ridgemont Drive and east of Jupiter
(east of Cottonwood Bend 4A).
Mr. Petty presented the plat to the Commission. The property is a portion of the
preliminary plat previously approved as Cottonwood Bend 4B. He explained that
prior to filing, staff is suggesting that a facilities agreement might be developed
regarding the development of the southern portion of Spring Creek Drive.
Mr. Warren Corwin stated that this developer has completed Tracts 6A, 7 (in
three phases) and 4A. He added that their strategy is to complete small pieces of
land rather than one large tract at one time. He stated that the lot sizes are
larger than required by the zoning.
The proponent has agreed to complete a temporary asphalt turnaround at the
southern end of Spring Creek Drive for emergency access. This would be
accomplished through a temporary easement and would not be platted. Mr.
Corwin explained that he feels the residents in this area would naturally access
their property from Ridgemont, and that when the next phase is developed
Spring Creek Drive will be extended to Chaparral.
Mr. Petty discussed a previous contract which would have required developers to
pave Chaparral to the east. He stated that staff was proposing that the collector
street and Chaparral be completed with this phase. He explained that there will
be extensive engineering required before Chaparral can be extended to the east.
The design criteria on Chaparral was discussed. When the existing portion was
constructed, it met the design criteria that were in existence at that time. The
City of Plano had approved the radius with a super elevated cross-section. Mr.
Petty discussed the need to move some of the traffic from Ridgemont. Staff is
requesting a facilities agreement be implemented which would dictate a date for
the completion of Spring Creek Drive.
Commissioner Garcia suggested that a facilities agreement would be important for
the City to receive a commitment for the construction of Spring Creek Drive. He
suggested that the item might be tabled in order to allow the engineer and the
developer to discuss this possibility.
Mr. Corwin stated that he understands the concerns of City staff and the Com-
mission. He stated that the proponent would probably agree to a set timetable for
construction of Spring Creek Drive and extension of Chaparral.

Final Plat
Cottonwood Bend 4B (Cont.) (Agenda Item III)
Mr. Petty suggested that the request be tabled to allow time for staff and the
developer to consider a facilities agreement.
Commissioner Fulk questioned whether the portion of Chaparral already in place
was super elevated and Mr. Corwin stated that it is not. He added that additional
right-of-way will be necessary from Plano.
MOTION: Upon a motion by Commissioner Garcia and a second by Commissioner
Fulk, the Commission voted 5 FOR and 0 OPPOSED to table the
request for Final Plat for Cottonwood Bend 4B.
Other Business:
Mr. Keener advised that the next agenda might contain a replat on Vita/Boon
Subdivision.
