Helen -Eve Liebman, Senior Planner, presented to the Commission. The property is located north
of Exchange Parkway and east of Allen Station Parkway. There is a minor correction. The
Preliminary Plat identifies three lots instead of four. Lots I and 2 are designated for commercial
development. A Site Plan for a distribution center, on Lot 2, is currently being reviewed by
staff. There has been discussion between staff and the developer on dedication of the floodplain.
Initially a fourth lot was designated for floodplain that would be dedicated to the City As a
result of the discussions, the City will not ask for dedication of the floodplain. The fourth lot
was removed from the plat and the floodplain will be in an easement The Preliminary Plat has
been reviewed by staff and meets all of the requirements of the Allen Land Development Code
Staff recommends approval.
Chairman Wendland questioned who would maintain the floodplain easement Ms. Liebman
answered the property owner would be responsible for maintaining the easement area.
Commissioner Dreggors asked if the floodplain lot would be as irregular as the floodplain itself.
Ms. Liebman answered that development plans for this lot have not been submitted. However,
the Engineering Department will make sure the lot complies with the 100 year FEMA floodplain.
Commissioner Dreggors asked if the area will be maintained. Ms. Liebman answered that it is
desired for the area to remain in its natural state due to the existing trees and the topography of
the site.
Commissioner Dreggors inquired about the trail location. Ms. Liebman stated the trails are
located on the east side of the creek and are already in place
Commissioner Cocking asked if staff reviewed the traffic impacts of the vehicles associated with
the distribution center. Ms. Liebman answered that staff has reviewed the traffic flow and all
requirements have been met.
Commissioner Cocking inquired about the screening requirements for empty trailers. Ms.

working with the applicant to sufficiently screen the site.
