Update on New Annexation Legislation (Agenda Item III -A) Bill Petty, Building Official, updated the Planning and Zoning Commission on the recent changes by the 67th Legislature on the requirements for annexing land into the City of Allen. Those changes are two public hearings, one hearing now on the site; the submission of a service plan for soft City services, such as police, fire, trash collection, street maintenance, to be instituted within 60 days after annexation of the property into the city limits; and additional capital improvements to the annexed area within a two and one-half year period. There was no action taken on this item. Update on Extension of Expiring Terms of Office of Planning & Zonina Commission Members (Agenda Item III -B) Bill Petty, Building Official, advised the Commission that the City Council had again extended the expiring terms of office of Commissioners Inkman, Henry and Moseley until such time as the new Zoning Ordinance has been finalized and adopted. This action was taken in order to maintain the same Commission during the lengthy adoption process of the new Zoning Ordinance. General Discussion Bill Petty, Building Official, advised the Commission that Dr. Horn, Superintendent of the Allen Independent School District, had contacted him regarding the fence,to be erected by the owners of the Mr. Quik Convenience Store, between the Allen High School property and Mr. Quik's property. At this time, Dr. Horn advised that he would like to ask the owners of Mr. Quik to erect a chain link fence. In turn, the School District would plant a landscaping planting on the fence on their property. The style of fence approved for this location by the Planning & Zoning Commission was a six (6) foot pine wooden fence with steel pipe supports. The Commission briefly discussed Dr. Horn's request and advised Mr. Petty that by consensus the Commission was amenable to a chain link fence between the school property and Mr. Quik's, with the landscaping, if the property owners of Mr. Quik desired to erect that type of fence. _gyp_ CI ALLEN PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION August 27, 1981 General Discussion (continued) Page 4 Mr. Petty advised the Commission of the upcoming meeting with the City Council on Saturday, August 29, 1981, for a work- shop on the new Zoning Ordinance, including the Zoning Map and Sign Ordinance.
