The proposed development is similar to an existing development within Frisco off Preston Road and Eldorado Parkway. The development proposes challenges with power lines and easements and over fifty acres being within the Floodplain. The prices of the homes will be from $250,000 to $400,000.The fence facing major thoroughfare roads will consist of one color stained wooden fence,which will be maintained by the Homeowners Association. Mr. Haynes stated that the lot size does not drive house quality, nor does it drive the creation of a quality community. Home buyers are more interested in home quality and size,as well high quality community. Board Discussion Commissioner Larson and Commissioner Tamez expressed opposition for the lot size. Vice Chairman Dahl expressed concern of the drainage, and traffic impacting the surrounding neighborhoods. Mr. Haynes stated that an engineer, licensed by the state, will design the development and abide by the State standards. The plans will then be submitted to the City Engineer who in turn will review and approve. Road Impact Fees, which is about $2,500 per house, will pay in part to have Pleasant Valley and Ballard Avenue to be widened and part of the solution of heavily travelled roads currently.
