Mr. Hoover presented the request. He stated staff and the applicant have resolved any
outstanding issues relating to drainage.
Commissioner Schaffer asked about note 12 and asked if the trail and benches will be shown on
the final plat? The Developer, Kirk Maxwell of, 404 Greenbrook Dr, Allen, TX 75002 stated
there is no trail planned and that note 12 refers to a brick pad that the benches will sit on to
enhance the aesthetic value of the detention pond area.
Commissioner Cocking asked if the home on Reynolds's Ct. will be able to have a driveway
based on the drainage easements. Mr. Hoover responded yes, there are ways to work around the
easement. Mr. Flanigan showed how the foot print of the house would have to go in order for the
driveway to not be built parallel over the easement. Mr. Hoover and Mr. Flanigan both stated
that driveways cross drainage easements all the time and there is a difference between building a
driveway over an easement and the driveway running parallel to and on top of the easement.
Commissioner Cocking requested a note be added specifically stating that. Mr. Hoover said a
clarifying note will be added

Chairman Wendland recused himself from agenda items four and five because his wife is the
Executive Director of the Arts of Collin County Foundation. He then turned the meeting over to
Commissioner Rushing.
Mr. Hoover asked if the fourth and fifth agenda items could be addressed at the same time since
they are related. Commissioner Rushing stated for clarification that they may be discussed at the
same time but must be voted on separately
Mr. Hoover recapped the Arts of Collin County concept and history for people present or
watching from home that may not know. He also stated the reason for splitting the Arts of Collin
County out of PD 54 is to simplify the paper trail for years to come as it is realistic to think there
will be amendments to the Arts District zoning.

the land to the new planned development. Mr. Hoover stated that yes the roadway impact fees
and facility agreement will be transferred with the land. The commissioners had no more
