Public Hearing
Bryan Bush Tract (Cont.) (Agenda Item V)

(Agenda Item X)
The workshop session of the Allen Planning & Zoning Commission
was reconvened at 10:50 p.m.
Mr. Pat Atkins of Don Tipton Engineering spoke on behalf of the
Heritage Park proposal. He explained that the concept plan

involved.
Mark Thornton discussed the park situation. He stated he would
like to take this proposal to the Park Board at the proper time.
He indicated he was very pleased with this proposal.
It was suggested that having rear entry requirements would give
the Commission control in the area of duplexes.
Consensus of the Commission was that this is an excellent
project, and they would encourage proponent to bring forward
their zoning amendment to the Planned Development.
Mr. Petty suggested that the single family and Tracts 2, 4, and 5
could be site planned at this time.

attention given to Commission in an educational
format dealing with the scope of their authority.

to understand and he is requesting a simplified
version.
