Citizen's Comments (Agenda Item IX)
City Manager Jon McCarty informed the Council that TU Electric has a Franchise Agreement that allows
them to place their poles in the City right-of-way The Subdivision Ordinance requires that within the subdivision,
electrical power will be supplied by underground conduits. However, along thoroughfares, overhead electrical
power will be supplied About 50 people appeared this week at a special meeting to discuss this item at which time
the City Manager and the Director of Public Works were present.
Joe Bilbo, Manager of TU Electric, indicated that this is an improvement project for the City of Allen.
The section of line from Jupiter to Cottonwood Creek along Bethany is only part of this improvement project One
of the main reasons for the overhead lines along major thoroughfares is economics. Mr. Bilbo discussed an
alternate route transversing the greenbelt. Mr. Bilbo also suggested that the median could also be used for the
placement of the power poles.
The Council acknowledged a petition received by the Council from homeowners in the area opposing the
overhead power transmission lines Receipt of letters from Kim Howell, 743 Ridgemont, Allen, Texas 75002,
Roger and Kelley Smith, 724 Cottonwood Bend Drive, Allen, Texas 75002 and public appearance cards of
individuals who did not wish to speak but did wish to record opposition to these power lines included:

Roger Stmth, 724 Cottonwood Bend Drive, Allen, Texas 75002, spoke in opposition to the overhead power
lines stating lower property values and safety
Nancy Smith, 724 Cottonwood Bend Drive, Allen, Texas 75002, spoke in opposition to the overhead power
lines asking for the City to listen to its citizens and provide proper notification prior to such projects.
Kum Howell, 743 Ridgemont, Allen, Texas 75002, spoke in opposition to the overhead power lines due
to decline in property values and safety
Lindsey Stewman, 801 Holly Circle, Allen, Texas 75002, spoke in opposition to the overhead power lines
stating health hazards, the reason for buying was because of no overhead lines, and they are not esthetically
pleasing.
Robert Robertson, 742 Ridgemont, Allen, Texas 75002, spoke in opposition to the overhead power lines
stating safety issues and declining property values.
Since the City has documents in place dealing with this issue, the Council may have influence but not final
control over this project. TU Electric will be responsive to the City Council but excess cost would be a departure
from what it has done in the past.
An ad hoc committee has been formed to include the Chairs of each of the Council subcommittees, TU
representatives and citizens to take this under advisement.
Council took a brief recess
Public Hearing on a Request for a Specific Use Permit

health hazard.

from Agriculture -Open Space (A -O) to Residential -5/C (R -5/C) on property immediately east of Bethany Lakes
Park and Greengate Subdivision The petitioner has agreed to the following items: 1) donation at time of platting
of 4.19± acres of land for open space to provide a park -like setting of a connection between Bethany Lakes and
Story Parks, 2) working with City Staff to create a meandering single -loaded roadway between this subdivision and
Bethany Lakes Park to enhance the visual impact of the park and open space; 3) an amenity at the northeast corner
which would include a decorative bridge with a stone facade to create a visual extension of Bethany Lakes Park;
4) construction of an eight -foot trail system through the open space connection area, 5) an increase from 1500
square foot minimum house size to 1750 square foot minimum for houses next to Stretford Lane for more
compatibility with the houses built in Shadow Lakes; 6) restriction of at least 50% of the houses adjacent to the
Greengate Subdivision to one story in response to high concerns by Greengate residents. A Facilities Agreement
will be a requirement of platting to provide proper greenbelt and roadways in additional phases of this property
Pat Atkins, Tipton Engineering, reviewed the surrounding lot sizes and the concept plan showing collector
streets in Bethany Road. The price range of the houses in this subdivision will be approximately $130,000 to
$200,000.
Mayor Farmer read the request into the record as follows
"Public Hearing to Consider Zoning on Approximately 85.01 Acres of Land to
Residential -5 (R-5) Located North of Bethany Road Between Allen Heights Drive and
Malone Road on a Request by Tipton Engineering on Behalf of Owners Ann Moore Vigil
and Linda Sue Moore."
Mayor Farmer opened the public hearing and asked for anyone speaking either for or against the request
to do so at this time.
Gary Clinton, 1536 Gardenia, Allen, Texas 75002, expressed concern regarding security of roadways into
the Greengate Subdivision, preservation of the greenbelt/wooded area and pesticide hazards.
Michael Buckley, 9 Highpoint Drive, Allen, Texas 75002, expressed concern about the public hearing
notification, TU Electric concerns for this development, traffic congestion, safety and real estate values, water
contamination, and traffic problems.
With no one else speaking either for or against the request, Mayor Farmer closed the public hearing
The conceptual greenbelt and meandering of the roadway between the park and the subdivision softens the
edge of Bethany Ickes Park. The intent of the Facilities Agreement would allow the continuation of the greenbelt.
The proponent was also asked to consider another roadway in the east/west direction at one of stub -outs south of
the hike and bike trail in final platting.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Gallagher and a second by Councilmember Nichols, the
Council voted six (6) for and none (0) opposed to confirm Planning & Zoning Commission
