Regular Agenda
4. Preliminary Plat — Consider a request for a Preliminary Plat for 9.979± acres situated in the David
Wetzell Survey, Abstract No 977, City of Allen, Collin County, Texas; generally located south of
Main Street and east of Greenville Avenue. (PP -7/6/15-43) [Parkview Lane]
Ms. Madhuri Kulkarni, Planner, presented to the Commission. She stated the item is a Preliminary Plat
for Parkview Lane
The property is located on the south side of Main Street and between Greenville Avenue and Jupiter
Road. The property is currently zoned PD -120 TH. Surrounding zoning includes SC to the north, SC and
PD -19 MF to the east, CF and R-3 to the south, and CF, R-3 and SC to the west
Ms. Kulkarni stated that the property was rezoned for a Planned Development for Townhomes in June
2015 Preliminary platting is the next step in the development process. The plat shows 9.98± acres, with
91 single-family lots and 12 open space lots. There are two primary access points into the site — one on
Greenville Avenue and one on Jupiter Road.
Ms. Kulkami pointed out that the Preliminary Plat boundary does not include the Bre lane, access, and
utility easement on the northwestern portion of the property, which is consistent with the Concept Plan
This northwestern area will be subsequently replatted and incorporated into Lot 2R (Walgreens)
The Preliminary Plat has been reviewed by the Technical Review Committee, is consistent with the PD
Concept Plan, and meets the requirements for the Allen Land Development Code.
Chairman Cocking asked the City Engineer if the deceleration lane on Jupiter Road is completed or
pending
Mr Shawn Poe, Assistant Director of Engineering, stated that the deceleration lane is still pending and
will be reviewed in the construction plan stage
Motion: Upon a motion by Commissioner Platt, and a second by Commissioner Orr,
the Commission voted 5 IN FAVOR, and 0 OPPOSED to approve the
Preliminary Plat for 9.979± acres generally located south of Main Street and
east of Greenville Avenue for Parkview Lane.
5. Public Hearing — Conduct a Public Hearing and consider a request to amend the Development
Regulations of Tract M of Planned Development No. 92 and adopt a Concept Plan and Building
Elevations for 3.76± acres situated in the Francis Dosser Survey, Abstract No. 280, City of Allen,
Collin County, Texas; located at the northeast corner of Stacy Road and Watters Road. (Z-6/16/15-
41) [Stacy Village]
Ms. Madhuri Kulkami, Planner, presented to the Commission She stated the item is a public hearing and
a PD Amendment for Stacy Village.
The subject property is located on the northeast corner of Watters Road and Stacy Road, and currently
zoned PD -92 for Shopping Center. Surrounding zoning includes PD -92 R-7 to the north and the east, PD -
86 SC to the south, and PD -43 GO to the west.
September 15, 2015
The original PD for this entire site was adopted in 2004. It was subsequently amended in 2004 and 2012.
The most recent PD amendment adopted a Concept Plan, which showed four lots for retail, restaurant,
and office uses. The PD also adopted elevations and development regulations The original PD addressed
uses, screening, and driveway access.
In this request, the applicant is proposing to revise the concept plan and the building elevations for the
development of this property This concept plan shows 3.76± acres and shows the area being divided into
two lots. Lot I is 2.7± acres and will include an approximate 21,600 square foot building which is for
retail and restaurant uses. Lot 2 is about one acre and includes an approximately 9,900 square foot
building to be used for medical office use
Detention is required for this site — it was shown on the northern side of the property on the original
ordinance, and is now located on the eastern side of the property Access on the site has not changed.
There are still 3 access points — two (2) on Stacy Road and one (1) on Watters Road. The stacking depths
are reduced on the access points to accommodate the development, and in lieu, there will be two right -
turn lanes (one on Stacy Road and one on Watters Road).
Perimeter screening has not changed as well, and consists of an existing retaining wall and a 6 5' masonry
screening wall. In addition, there is an l l' space along the eastern and northern sides for additional
landscaping such as trees and shrubbery Staff believes that the screening with additional landscaping is
still a fair trade to demolishing the existing screening and building an 8' masonry wall.
The building architecture is changing from the original ordinance to the elevations Ms. Kulkami
presented Both buildings (Lots 1 and 2) will be one story and will consist of brick, stone, and stucco
Ms. Kulkarni then presented the development regulations. These included a change in the language from
the original ordinance regarding Drive -Through to state "Tract M" instead of "Lot I" (which may be
constructed in association with a use other than a restaurant) as well as a stacking depth to be as shown on
the Concept Plan.
Commissioner Platt commented that a drive-through does not seem feasible on either of the lots according
to the Concept Plan. He asked if the development intends to have a drive-through
Ms. Kulkarni stated that the intent is to not have a drive-through for a restaurant use If the developers
want to fit a drive-through, it would be open to a use other than a restaurant use.
Commissioner Platt stated the way that the Concept Plan is drawn, the development does not seem
suitable for a drive-through.
Chairman Cocking asked what the process would be if the developers want to do a drive-through.
Ms. Kulkami stated that a drive-through is permitted with this Concept Plan and the PD. When the
developers submit a Site Plan, they will show it on there. This will most likely affect the western side of
Lot 2, but said she does not think it will be major enough to go back and revise the Concept Plan.
Mr. Bass stated that the configuration would have to be in substantial conformance with the Concept
Plan. If the drive-through affects circulation, access points, or creates traffic issues, it would come back
through the zoning process. He stated that staffs understanding is that there is no intention of putting a
1 drive-thru and it is not designed for such
September 15, 2015
Commissioner Ogrizov,ch said that he wanted to clarify that the developers could potentially do a drive-
through for a non -restaurant.
Ms Kulkami answered yes.
Commissioner Ogrizovich asked for examples.
Ms. Kulkami stated that the drive-through could be for a pharmacy or dry-cleaners
Commissioner Ogrizovich asked where the drive-through would be located to not significantly change
traffic patterns.
The applicant, Moshe Golan, 5164 Village Creek Drive, Plano, TX, stated he is the property owner and
developer He said they currently don't have any plans to have a drive-through and are not considering it.
If it will happen, they will have to make changes in the plans
Commissioner Ogrizovich said that with the original zoning, quite a few neighbors from the north were
quite concerned about the drive-through. Is it possible to bar a drive-thru restaurant?
Mr. Bass said that that provision would be more clearly worded than what the commissioners have seen
in the case report to specifically prohibit drive-through restaurants from this entire site. The things that
would be taken into consideration for a potential drive-through would be queuing. He suggested that
based on this current design, if something changed, it would come back through this process.
t Chairman Cocking opened the public hearing
Mr. Dave Linberg, 2206 Thombury Lane, Allen, TX, commented that he looked through the original
design with the peaked roof and asked why that architectural style was not followed since the surrounding
neighborhood is an upper scale area with many multistory homes.
Chairman Cocking closed the public hearing
Ms. Kulkami stated that the applicant submitted elevations that were similar to elevations across the
street. The elevations submitted showed flat roofs, which was acceptable to staff.
Chairman Cocking commented that this developer has also developed the other side of Stacy Road The
elevations will match and provide continuity along that portion of Stacy Road.
Motion: Upon a motion by Commissioner Platt, and a second by I" Vice -Chair
Mangrum, the Commission voted 5 IN FAVOR, and 0 OPPOSED to
approve to amend the Development Regulations of Tract M of Planned
Development No. 92 and adopt a Concept Plan and Building Elevations for
