ACTION AGENDA
1. Consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a Preliminary Plat for
the Ambers Cove Addition. Subject property being all of a certain 12.290 acre
tract of land described in a deed to George F. Ketch, as recorded in County
Clerk's File Number 97-0017475, Deed Records of Collin County, Texas, and
being situated in the L. B. Outlaw Survey, Abstract No. 676, Collin County,
Texas, and the Nathaniel Alterberry Survey, Abstract No. 1099, Collin County,
Texas.
Thompson stated that the Preliminary Plat will create six (6) single-family residential lots
exceeding 2 acres each, and dedicates half of the right-of-way for the existing Troy Road.
The property is not within the city limits, but within unincorporated Collin County, and
will conform to County codes. The property cannot yet be annexed because it is not
contiguous to any property now within the City.
Bill Boyd, 2517 McDearmon, Sachse, Texas, represented as the applicant, stated that
deed restrictions require that exterior walls be at least 75% masonry and single-story
residences must be at least 2,200 square feet of living area. A septic system will be used
in the subdivision, however, the deed restrictions require that homes tap into the City
sewer system within 90 days when available.
The Commissioners and Mr. Boyd discussed the access to lots behind lot 6 of the subject
property. Mr. Boyd agreed to submit documentation of communication with the owner of
the lots, Mr. Martinez, regarding mutual access easement on the referenced lots as part of
the Final Plat.
A motion was made by Commissioner Hughes, and seconded by Commissioner Larson,
to recommend approval to the City Council with stipulation that documentation be
provided in reference to mutual access easements on lots behind Lot 6. Motion carried 6
— 0.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. Hold a Public Hearing and consider a recommendation to the City Council
regarding an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance defining and regulating body
piercing and tattooing establishments.
Thompson stated that the Council has requested clarification and regulation of body
piercing and tattooing, therefore requiring an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. The
proposal denies such operations as State Law defines them, and allows them to be located
only within the Industrial District.

The Commissioners discussed with Thompson the medical clinics which are exempt by
State Law, and the feasibility of exempting medical clinics from City Ordinance as well.
It was general decided not to address exceptions for medication practices until specific
requests are made in the future.
Commissioner Hennesey expressed concern of congregating such establishments within
the Industrial District, which could then allow other such similar uses and creating an
entire area on the outskirts of town full of these uses instead of more appropriate
Industrial commercial uses. He would rather such questionable uses be located along
State Highway 78 where they are highly visible and can be better policed.
Chairman Seely opened the Public Hearing and with no one wishing to speak, Chairman
Seely closed the Public Hearing.
A motion was made by Commissioner Byboth, and seconded by Commissioner Larson,to
recommend approval of the submitted amendment of the Zoning Ordinance to City
Council regarding the tattoo and body piercing establishments located in Industrial
District only. Motion carried 5 — 1, with Commissioner Hennesey voting in opposition.
ADJOURNMENT
A motion was made by Commissioner Hughes, and seconded by Commissioner Byboth,
to adjourn the meeting at 7:54PM.
