Request to Annex and Zone 183 Acres
Coronet Realty Development
Zoning Case No. Zll-25-81-4 (cont'd) (Agenda Item III)
of annexation and Planned Development zoning on 183 acres
of land located at the southwest corner of Exchange
Parkway and Malone Road (Zoning Case No. Zll-25-81-4)."
Mr. Bob Shaw and Gary Kraus, with Graham and Associates,
who represent the proponents, spoke before the Commission on
this item.
Mr. Shaw advised the Commissioners that Graham and Associates
had taken the comments made at the last Planning and Zoning Com-
mission meeting and had revised their plans for the 183 acre tract
accordingly. Mr. Shaw advised the Commission of the market trends
today for types of housing units.
Mr. Kraus presented the originally prepared site plan for the
planned development of the 183 acres and then provided a color -
coded overlay of the revised site plan which took into consideration
the recommendations made by the Commissioners. Mr. Kraus advised
that they had moved all of the 9,000 sq. ft. lots to the east of
the development, with a transition down from them to the 8,500 sq.
ft. lots, to the 8,000 sq. ft. lots, and then to the 7,500 sq. ft.
lots on the east. Mr. Kraus added that they had eliminated all of
the 7,500 sq. ft. lots for the duplexes and used only the 8,000 sq.
ft. lots for the duplexes. They are also proposing to place the
duplexes to the north of the tract along Exchange Parkway.
Mr. Kraus further advised that the Commissioners' concern in
the development of the retail tract could be handled by making
part of the Planned Development Ordinance require a site plan for
the entire development of the retail tract at one time and not on
a piecemeal basis.
The other area of concern was the need for open space to
adhere to the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and where to
put the open space. Mr. Kraus advised that they had calculated
that approximately 10 acres of open space would be required for
this development, however, they wanted some guidance from the
Commission as to where that open space would be placed.
There was considerable discussion between the Commission and
the proponents regarding the open space and the use in one large
park site, small pocket park areas thoroughout the development,
recreational areas to be maintained by Homeowners Assocations, and
maintenance of the park sites by the City of Allen.
It was suggested by the Commission that consideration be given
to placing some type of recreational areas in the duplex districts.

Mr. Kraus went over the new figures for the number of lots
represented in each square footage. The Commission had considerable
discussion on the location of the various lot sizes and the dis-
tribution of the size of houses. It was suggested by the Commission
that Graham and Associates come up with more variation of dwelling
unit sizes and not just use the minimum sizes as defined in the
City's Zoning Ordinance.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Commissioner Wolfe and seconded by
Commissioner Henry, the Commission voted five (5) for
and none (0) opposed to table the action on this request
until the next regular Planning and Zoning Commission

carried.

Chairman Pendleton read the request into the record as follows:
"Action related to the February 6, 1982, Special Workshop
meeting on Planned Development Zoning request by Willard
McDaniel, Inc., and the Cambridge Companies Development
Corporation on approximately 855 acres of land located
east of Jupiter Road and north of Chaparral Road (Zoning
Case No. Zll-11-81-1)."
Bob Allison, with Cambridge Companies, spoke before the
Commission regarding this item.
Commissioner Wolfe had previously prepared some statistics
on this 855+ acre development, taking into consideration pro-
jections of District 4 of the City of Allen's Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. Allison had taken that comparison and, after reviewing
the Comprehensive Plan, had come up with figures he felt were
more accurate for their development.
Mr. Allison went over his projections and showed the changes
in the figures to the Commissioners and explained the differences.
Mr. Allison provided the Commission with a comparison of the
costs of housing in the City of Allen today.
The Commission discussed with Mr. Allison the need for an
up date of the District 4 of the Comprehensive Plan and the need
for professional help in order to do so, as well as having the
consultant attend a work shop session. The Commission went over
the outline for consulting services as prepared by Commissioner
