Staff recommends approval of this revised request based on: • The provision of a needed community park in this area of Allen; • The buffer being provided to the existing residents in the ETJ through a combination of a 50 foot buffer, no alleys and required rear yards, • The provision of a streetscape/landscape buffer along the Angel Parkway; • The provision of the needed thoroughfare realignment and connection from Main Street to Exchange Parkway; • The provision of open space which exceeds the requirements of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance; • The preservation of significant tree areas Mr. Ron Haynes stated that they have presented a plan based on the comments of the last meeting Chairman Obermeyer stated that the Public Hearing has remained opened. Mr. James Parker, 219 Rock Ridge Road, Allen, expressed concern regarding the easement at the eastern edge of the property John Tucker, 635 Meadow, stated that he is representing the Home Owners Association. He stated that they have met with Mr. Haynes. He has requested that Mr. Haynes reduce the number of lots. He requested 20,000 square foot lots along the eastern property line. Randy Russell, 1544 Home Park Dr., stated that he is opposed to the request. Lot sizes are still a concern. Philip Nogueve, 1300 Rock Ridge Road, stated that he is a Councilman for the City of Lucas and speaks on behalf of the Green Acres residents in Lucas, who moved out to this area on acreage lots. He stated that their quality of life would be affected. He stated that there is an opportunity here to have larger lot sizes, at least on the fringe of the development They would prefer not to have high intensity lights at the park and suggests it be moved closer to the school (Curtis Middle School). David Burson, 600 Meadow Lane, stated that it seems that R6 is being proposed, which is against the code. He requested that a deed restriction be added regarding the house size Richard Haggerty, 1544 Hickory Trail, stated his concern is still the house/lot size. It is still too dense PAGE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MAY 13, 1999 James Parker, 219 Rock Ridge Road, questioned if there was any fence or barrier along Angel drive? Jeffrey Wong, 2302 East Exchange Pkwy., questioned the mound along the north side of Exchange. He is concerned about the drainage problems With no one else wishing to speak. the Public Hearing was closed. Mr. Ron Haynes addressed some of the concerns raised during the public hearing. He stated that every property has unique problems. The biggest issue is Angel Parkway. He stated that adds to the cost of development Regarding the density, it is the same as the property to the west. He stated this is what he was requested to come back with at the April 8th meeting. He noted the tree line on the east of the property, which is a major buffer for those existing properties. Chairman Oberrneyer reviewed the issues from the last meeting and thanked Mr Haynes for taking direction from the last meeting. Commission Member Smith stated that she agrees that the proponent has met the requests from the last meeting. The density is below what was actually requested and was based on the Comprehensive Plan. She noted that Allen is not the same type of community as Lucas, etc. and Allen has development regulations that the developers must work with in our City Commission Member Smith stated that Mr Haynes has met all the requirements requested of him at the last meeting. Mr. Conner addressed Mr. Wong's drainage concern and stated that "Mount Allen" is not on this property and there is nothing we can do about that at this time. In the 100 acres to be developed, the detention pond will be sized to keep the flow into the channel as it always has been All water will be retained and detained in this pond. There will be no additional impact. The development will actually stop the drainage to the east, because of curb gutters. Commission Member Kerr asked Mr. Haynes to explain to Mr. Wong the requirements he has regarding drainage. Mr. Haynes explained that he, by Texas law, cannot increase the flow of water more than what it is in an undeveloped state (presently exists). Commission Member Kerr stated that there was a tremendous concern at the last meeting. He also stated that most of the concerns raised have been addressed. Commission Member McGregor, asked Mr. Conner about the alignment of Angel Parkway He also thanked Mr Haynes that he actually adhered to the Commission's requests. He stated that it meets the Comprehensive Plan guidelines, and it looks like a good plan.

It was noted that it is only a plan, and has not been determined at this time Commission Member Neice questioned house sizes, and about the comment made requesting a deed restriction Ms. Diamond stated that it would not be deed restricted, but restricted by the Planned Development. PAGE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MAY 13, 1999 Mr. Haynes stated that he would offer a minimum house size requirement of 1,800 square feet. Commission Member Neice questioned what is the responsibility of the developer, and the City to check that the drainage issues are resolved? Mr. Conner stated that would be the engineering at the time of final plat Chairman Obermeyer stated that he believes the proponent has considered every concern, and has done what he can. The law takes care of the drainage. Commission Member Kelley stated that a concern was raised regarding lighting. Chairman Obermeyer stated that we do have an ordinance to address that issue. Ms. Diamond stated that the tree line would also serve as a buffer as well as the lighting standards in the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. Commission Member Kerr restated that this city park is not being designed at this time, no plan is set at this time.

Ms. Diamond presented the item to the Commission. She stated that this property was originally zoned in 1987 for office (with limited retail), multifamily and community facilities uses. The original zoning included specific development standards addressing uses, heights and setbacks, and provided for detailed landscaping criteria along the southern property line, adjacent to the single family In 1998 a rezoning was granted on two small tracts of land, which allow for an expansion of the acreage of multifamily. Ms. Diamond stated that the development of this property is required to provide for the extension of Prestige Circle from State Highway 5 to Jupiter Road. Without this connection, a significant amount of traffic is utilizing the existing alley and White Oak Road to the south of this tract Ms. Diamond indicated that Prestige is proposed to be a commercial collector with a right-of-way of 60 feet. To align this road to provide for the maximum utilization of the church propertv, the curve radii is somewhat less than required by the Subdivision Ordinance However, it is in compliance with the AASHTO Standards, and approved by the City's Director of Public Work's. Written certification has been received from a registered Professional Engineer (Thoroughfare Justification Study), and was distributed to the Commission during the workshop. Staff is recommending approval of this request subject to attachment of the Concept Plan, Landscape Plan for buffer area, and Development Regulations, with the following: • Submission of written certification that the design of the extension of Prestige Circle meets AASHTO Standards (RECEIVED) • Condition C3, being revised to read "A facilities agreement be entered into prior to platting the property, which addresses the construction of Prestige Circle" instead of "The land owner, shall not be responsible for the funding of construction of this collector street:' Keith Maloney, 609 Quail Run, Minister of the Church of Christ, stated his excitement for this plan He had the members of the church in attendance stand to show their support for the request. Mr. Rex Taylor, 26 White Wright Circle, Lucas, noted the surrounding properties. He discussed the existing P.D. arrangement. He reviewed the request that they are proposing.

Fred Beckhusen, 505 White Oak, stated that he has two concerns S H 5 is maintained by the state and won't build sidewalks and he wants sidewalks He discussed utility easements. Mike Hill, 537 White Oak, stated his concern about the screening of the ball fields. He envisions people using the alley to access the sports field. He would like to see the berm irrigated and PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION PAGE 10 MAY 13, 1999 continued all the way to Jupiter and be installed first, as part of phase one He is also concerned about construction vehicles using their alley The Methodist Church construction vehicles are already using the alley and moving dirt. He is asking the lights be prohibited if this does become a ball field. He is in support of the extension of Prestige Circle. With no one else wishing to speak, the Public Hearing was closed.

Ms. Diamond stated that TU Electric has allowed parking under the easement. Mr. Beckhusen stated he is concerned about that easement. Commission Member Kelley stated that we are talking about zoning now Engineering is ongoing and this is a platting issue Commission Member Kelley agreed that if this site plan is being adopted tonight that he too would like to address the easement issue, which has always been located in a awkward area. Ms Diamond stated that we are well aware of the easement issues and the proponent is working out the legal issues with the goal of acquiring the land and/or rights to park under it Commission Member McGregor asked Mr. Conner to address the easement issues. Mr. Conner stated that there is no intention to bury, move or raise the utilities at this time. Commission Member McGregor agreed that the landscape berm should continue on to Jupiter. Mr. Taylor stated that they would be agreeable to that. Commission Member McGregor stated his main concern is a vehicular traffic barrier; he stated that this is an appropriate use Commission Member Kelley stated that he shares the concern regarding the irregular shaped property, northeast of the proposed Prestige Circle and SHS. He questions what it could be used for. He also questioned the budding of sidewalks. Ms. Diamond stated that the irregular shaped property will be zoned for Community Facilities uses. The Church and the property owner are discussing viable uses for the site. If revisions to the zoning are required, they will have to resubmit for re -zoning. Mr Conner stated that the State won't build the sidewalks. He stated that sidewalks have been budgeted for by the City, and will be constructed in the future. Mr. Taylor stated that the ball field would not be lighted. Commission Member Kerr stated that the land use is appropriate. He stated that the concerns expressed seem to be platting issues.

Mr Marshall, City Attorney's Office, stated that he would not recommend including the site plan with the ordinance, or any significant deviation would require another public hearing to amend Chairman Obetmeyer is uncomfortable saying that the plan must looklust like what is presented here because all the engineering has not been completed. Commission Member Smith stated that based on the P.D. Regulations, we have to attach this. Commission Member Kelley stated that as part of the motion we can say GENERALLY in conformance. Commission Member Smith also stated that we would give consideration working around the easements. Mr Taylor stated that the concept is sound, however the details are not worked out just yet. Ms Diamond stated that there is some flexibility in working with a concept plan. She noted that these are the types of issues to keep in mind when discussing the proposed amendments to the PD requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, which is the next item on this agenda. Mr. Marshall stated that we must keep in mind this is a concept plan. It will give a layout, how it will affect the adjacent property owners. Commission Member Kelley stated that is it up to the Commissions discretion to determine if it was generally in conformance. Mr. Marshall agreed The proponent agreed to modify "A" of the Development Regulations to say "Generally in accordinance." Motion: Upon a motion by Commission Member Smith and a second by Commission Member Kerr the Commission voted 6 FOR and 0 OPPOSED to approve the request with the following: • "A" of the Development Regulations will be revised to say, "The property will be developed GENERALLY in accordance with the Concept Plan attached to the Ordinance." • Planned Development Regulations and the Thoroughfare Justification Study memo E will be attached to the Ordinance. • A Vehicular deterrent on the south property line, which is not bounded by berm or parking lot, will be constructed.
