PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. Hold a Public Hearing and consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding
a change in zoning from Agriculture (A) to Planned Development (PD) District for
single-family residential uses. Subject property being generally located in the
southwest corner of Brown Street and Kreymer Lane, part of the Francisco De La
Pina Survey, Abstract No. 688, and more specifically being all of that 14.755 acre
tract of land conveyed to D.R. Horton-Texas, Ltd. as recorded in Volume 5697, Page
6349, Collin County Deed Records, all of that 34.872 acre tract of land conveyed to
D.R. Horton-Texas, Ltd. as recorded in Volume 5697, Page 6354, Collin County
Deed Records, all of that 14.760 acre tract of land conveyed to D.R. Horton-Texas,
Ltd. as recorded in Volume 5700, Page 3087, Collin County Deed Records. (Zoning
Case No. 2005-05). Tabled from the 3/15/05 and 4/19/05 P & Z meeting.
Thompson stated that the property is located east of Kreymer Lane and south of Brown Street
and totals 64.38 acres.
Twenty-three comment forms were mailed to surrounding property owners and twenty-seven
written responses returned, twenty-five in opposition and two in favor of the request. A
simple majority will be required by the City Council on July 12, 2005 for approval.
The Comprehensive Plan recommends that the entire tract be developed as one acre lots. The
requested residential density does not comply with this recommendation of the
Comprehensive Plan.
Staff recommends denial. The request does not conform to the commendation of the
Comprehensive Plan for larger lots, nor does it offer innovations to justify a PD other than
variances from the regulations of the Zoning Ordinance.
The number of lots illustrated on the Development Plan is 193, or a density of nearly 3 lots
per acre, compared to a potential of approximately 63 lots or one lot per acre density as
recommended by the Comp Plan.
The proposed Conditions of the PD complies with Single Family Residential 8.5/17 with the
exception that the lot size begin at 8,500 square feet with a minimum average of 10,000
square feet, and minimum 1,700 square feet dwelling size, but average dwelling size of 2,400
square feet throughout the PD.
The PD proposes that no alleys be required, but no garages shall face the front street unless
off-set six feet (compared to five feet and no more than 50% of elevation standard
requirement of the ZO).

The easement corridor of a major overhead electric transmission line traverses the
northeastern corner of the tract, occupying 0.96 acre, and this area cannot be developed.
Jerry Sylo, Jones and Boyd, 17090 Dallas Parkway, Dallas, Texas, representative for property
owner, D R Horton, stated that in March, the request for the PD was tabled by the applicant
in order to review lot sizes. After considering the recommendations from the Commissions,
if the lots were to increase as recommended, there would be a loss of 63 lots. The
development is surrounded by Suburban Residential on the north and west and Country
Residential and south and east. The proposed development provides 10,000, 8,500 and 5,000
square feet lots to the north and west, and 11,000 square feet and one acre lots are located to
the south and east.
Commissioners discussed with Mr. Sylo the surrounding properties and the revised Comp
Plan recommending acreage lots. Mr. Sylo stated that in the best interests of the property
owner and to the Commission, for the Commission to make a recommendation to the City
Council, and not table the item. Chairman Larson stated that the surrounding property
owners and the Commission recommend half-acre or larger lots on the subject property.
Chairman Larson opened the Public Hearing.
Amy Tolleson, 1036 S Kreymer, spoke in opposition of the zoning change and presented to
the Commissioners and to the applicant, pictures of the surrounding properties with minimum
house size of 3,000 square feet, and the lot sizes from one acre and up to thirteen acres.
Tony Warren, 1030 S. Kreymer, spoke in opposition of the zoning change and stated that the
temperature drops about ten degrees because of the surrounding trees on the large lots.
Chairman Larson closed the Public Hearing.
Mr. Sylo stated that all people have different lifestyles, and not all desire to live in larger
homes or a 2,000 square foot town home. The proposed development offers flexibility for
the different lifestyles by offering lots 8,500 square feet up to 11,000 square feet.
A motion was made by Commissioner Alexander, and seconded by Commissioner Spillyards,
to recommend denial for the zoning change of 2005-05 to the City Council meeting on July
12, 2005. Motion carried 6—0, with Commissioner Hughes absent.

current desired standard and raise the desired above the standard for Country and
Suburban Residential District only.
