6. Preliminary review of a proposed General Development Plan for Auburn Springs. The property
is currently zoned as Planned Development No. 42 (PD No. 42) The property is situated in the
W Fisher Survey, Abstract No. 323, City of Allen, Collin County, Texas; further described as
being located at the northeast corner of Main Street and Malone Road.
Ms. Sukup, Director of Planning, briefed the Commission on the proposed General Development
Plan for Auburn Springs.
The Commissioners questioned why this development was requested as straight zoning. Ms.
Sukup explained that since city had acquired the park to the north of the tract, a Planned
Development would not be needed nor would it accomplish anything. PD 42 imposed no
additional design requirements beyond zoning designation Proponent proposes to eliminate the
multi -family designation and to reduce the density of the single-family development. Ms Sukup
noted that the commercial tracts would continue to be in P D. No. 42.
Mr. Papagolos, Developer for Auburn Springs, discussed the construction plans for Angel
Parkway.
Commission Member McGregor reminded the Commission of the Planned Development
regulations on the Angel property, which states no construction of alley's next to Angel Parkway
with provisions regarding constructing berms, and screening walls. He noted that similar
requirements would be appropriate for this development
