A tree survey has been included in the Commissioner's packets for information purposes. The submission has been reviewed by the Technical Review Committee, and staff recommends approval. Chairman Fulk opened the public hearing. Mr David Pitstick, Director of Economic Development, spoke in favor of the request. He stated that the property is currently owned by Intecom. Mr. George O'Brien, Chief Financial Officer of Intecom, spoke in favor of the request.

With no one else wishing to speak for or against the request, Chairman Fulk closed the public hearing. MOTION: A motion was made by Commissioner Smith and seconded by Commissioner Heller to approve the request for the preliminary replat of Enterprises Addition No 2. Discussion was held by the Commission regarding the differences between this replat and the existing plat. Mr. Keener indicated that the replat consists of 4 lots rather than 1 and includes a 30 -foot drainage easement along the railroad. No fire lanes are being dedicated at this time; this will be done during the final plat phase by each individual purchaser of the tracts. No change in budding setback lines are indicated on the plat.

PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 26, 1996 PAGE 3 Public Hearing - Preliminary Replat Enterprises 2 Addition (Cont ) (Agenda Item III) Discussion was held by the Commission regarding the tree survey and the placement of the drainage easement with relation to the existing trees. It was noted that if the drainage easement were relocated, it would still require removal of many trees because then the easement would be located in the fire lanes and/or building pad sites. The size of the easement was discussed and Mr. Conner indicated that 30 feet would be necessary to carry the water that will be carried. Mr. Pitstick indicated that the TP&L lines will be moved adjacent to the railroad. The motion was voted on The Commission voted 7 FOR and 0 OPPOSED to approve the request for preliminary replat for Enterprises Addition No 2 as presented. FINDINGS The use is compatible for the property 2. The value of the trees is not substantial enough to hinder the development proposed 3. The replat represents a better utilization of the configuration of the property Site Plan Christ the Servant Lutheran Church (Agenda Item IV) Chairman Fulk read the agenda item into the record as follows: "Site Plan - Consider an amendment to the Approved Site Plan for Christ the Servant Lutheran Church Addition, City of Allen, Collin County, Texas, further described as being located at 821 South Greenville Avenue." Mr. Keener presented the request to the Commission The Commission has been requested to consider the use of two temporary classrooms during construction of permanent structures. These buildings will not necessarily be constructed of materials consistent with the main building, as required by the Zoning Ordinance. Landscaping and other requirements will be handled administratively A two-year time limit has been requested by the proponent. The Fire Marshal has reviewed and approved the placement of the classrooms. No public hearing is required because staff elected to send this forward. Chairman Fulk suggested that this process is consistent with previous action of the Commission and Council to approve temporary classrooms at various church facilities. E PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 26, 1996 PAGE 4 Site Plan Christ the Servant Lutheran Church (Com.) (Agenda Item IV) Pastor Dale Gregoriew stated that the classrooms will be trailers similar to those used by the First Methodist Church, but not home constructed as used by the Allen Heights Baptist Church They will have windows and doors. One building will have three classrooms, and the other will have two classrooms. They will be air conditioned. They may be new or used buildings. Mr. Rick Richard, 765 Monticello, indicated that they have discussed purchasing the buildings from Mobile Modular, Houston, Texas. It was noted that no additional parking will be required for the final site plan with construction of the new permanent buildings because the parking for a church is determined by the size of the main sanctuary MOTION. Upon a motion by Commissioner Kelley and a second by Commissioner Smith, the Commission voted 7 FOR and 0 OPPOSED to approve the amended site plan to allow the use of temporary classrooms for two years from the date of City Council approval.
