Tiffany McLeod, Planner, spoke to the Commission The property is located north of Exchange Place
and east of US75. A Concept Plan for the subject property was approved in April of 2003. A Site Plan
for a dental office on Lot 1 was recently approved by staff. Platting of the property is the last step in the
development process. The Combination Plat shows the property divided into two lots. There is one
access point for Lot (which is located on Exchange Parkway. The plat also shows a 30 ft. right of way
dedication along the US 75 frontage road and various easements required for the development of the
dental office.
The Combination Plat has been reviewed by the Technical Review Committee, is consistent with the
Concept Plan for Planned Development PD No. 21 and meets the requirements of the Allen Land
Development Code.
Staff recommends approval.
Commissioner Mangrum asked about the plans for Exchange Place. Chris Flanigan stated there are no
plans to extend or modify the roadway at this time.
I" Vice Chairman Cocking questioned whether the plat differs from the Concept Plan. Tiffany McLeod
answered that the largest difference is the access along Exchange Parkway instead of Exchange Place.
1" Vice Chairman Cocking continued by asking why the access point location changed from Exchange
Place to Exchange Parkway. Ms. McLeod stated staff believes the development would be better served
by having the access point off of Exchange Parkway In addition, the Engineering and Fire Departments
have thoroughly reviewed traffic circulation to make sure there will not be any negative impacts. Chris
Flanigan summarized the traffic calming elements designed for Lot I to ensure vehicular safety.
Ogden "Be" Bass stated that if it is decided that access would be better on Exchange Place the
modification will occur when Lot 2 is developed.
Commissioner Trahan expressed concern with how the access point will affect traffic along the US 75
frontage road. Mr. Flanigan stated that the addition of the driveway does not increase the traffic
maneuver that occurs today.
1" Vice Chairman Cocking asked if the property will be built up higher due to the elevation difference.
Brandon Davidson, applicant representative, 200 W Belmont, Allen, Texas, stated the grade level for the
building will be roughly equal to the grade that exists now

Cocking, the Commission voted 7 IN FAVOR, and 0 OPPOSED, to approve the
