PUBLIC HEARING
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 to allow for single-family
residential uses of varied densities, generally located south of
Stone Road and west of FM 544. ZC 2006-11
Ms. 011ie stated that the subject property is located south of Stone Road and west of FM
544. The applicant is requesting to rezone 61.28 acres to allow for single family
residential uses of varied densities. This zoning case is subject to final acceptance of
the annexation. A Development Agreement shall be put in place to schedule the
construction of Alanis Boulevard.
The Twin Lakes subdivision borders to the west of the subject property, properties to
the north are within unincorporated Collin County and developed as the Twin Oaks
Addition, and the properties to the south is platted as the Braddock Place Addition, but
not developed. Each of these consists of single family residential uses of varied
densities varying from 7,500 square feet to 20,000 square feet and to one acre or
larger.
The Conditions of the Planned Development include a lot mix consisting of a minimum
of 25 percent being in excess of 20,000 square feet or greater. No lot within the
subdivision shall be less than 18,000 square feet. The minimum dwelling size shall be
2,600 square feet. Alleys shall not be required for this development. The maximum
number of single family dwelling units permitted shall be 98 single family units.
The Concept Plan dedicates 1.5 acres of Park land to the City. All Parkland dedication
and/or fees must have Park Board approval. A Homeowners Association shall be
established.
Twenty-Nine (29) notifications were mailed, with no written responses returned at the
time of posting.
Mr. Tim Coltart, Skorburg Company, 3838 Oak Lawn Avenue, Suite 1212, Dallas,
Texas, represented the applicant for the subject property, made a presentation to the
Commissioners and stated that the lot density for the subject property is 1.59 units per
acre. The PD proposes screening along both sides of Alanis Drive and FM 544. The
PD dedicates all the right-of-way to Alanis Drive without any eminent domain, and

allows us to manage the construction of Alanis Drive, which will help save money for the
City and the citizens.
The interior roads will be open ditch with a 26 foot pavement section and a 60 foot
Right-of-way. Commissioners discussed in length the open ditch proposal versus the
curb/gutter paved wider roadway. Ms. Manson reminded the Commissioners the roads
will be determined at the time of Platting and not per se at the Zoning.
Commissioners discussed in length the berm and landscaping which will be located
along both sides of Alanis Drive, but no fencing proposed. After the discussion, Mr.
Coltart agreed to any fence located in the rear yard of a lot adjoining the Alanis Drive
shall be Tubular Steel with Black powder coating, and the berm will be undulating and
irrigated.
Commissioners discussed in length the Concept Plan proposing no sidewalks. Mr.
Coltart stated that the development proposes rural nature, and a sidewalk takes away
the rural feeling. Jed Dolson, Engineer with Skorburg Company, stated that if the
Commissioners agree in the PD Conditions, Section V, number 6 will be deleted.
Commissioner Bennett expressed opposition in the exclusion of required park land. Mr.
Dolson stated that 61-acre is cumbersome and number of lots would be lost. Mr. Coltart
stated that a number of meetings with surrounding land owners preferred larger lots
without a park, which present rural intent.
Chairman Larson opened the Public Hearing.
Mr. Tommy Pulliam, 1440 E FM 544, adjacent property owner of the subject property,
spoke in opposition of the layout of Alanis Drive, stating that the screening along Alanis
stops before his property and spoke against the size of the houses.
Mr. Marvin Fuller, 355 Donna, property owner of land across from the subject property,
spoke in opposition of the width of the interior roads and spoke against the alignment of
Alanis with the berm not going all the way to FM 544.
Chairman Larson closed the Public Hearing.
After much discussion with the Commissioners and Mr. Coltart and Mr. Dotson
regarding the berm landscape along Alanis Drive, and Mr. Coltart and Mr. Dolson
agreed to delete Section VII and Section X from the PD Conditions, and that the berm
will continue from Alanis Drive to FM 544, including realigning Alanis Drive to FM 544 to
where screening will be between existing property and Alanis Drive. Furthermore, the
Commissioners recommended that the house sizes be amended to state that all one-
story houses will be minimum 2,600 square feet and the minimum for two-story houses
will be 3,000 square feet, which Mr. Coltart and Mr. Dolson agreed.
Commissioner Bennett stated that too much variance from the current Zoning
Ordinance and recommended that the side yard on Corner lot be revised from 15 feet to
25 feet for Lot Type A and Type B. Mr. Coltart and Mr. Dolson were in agreement of
amending Section IV, number 9 to state 25 feet for the minimum permitted side yard
setbacks adjacent to a street.

Commissioner Bennett also stated that during the presentation from Mr. Coltart the
number of Single Family Units would not exceed 98, but the PD Conditions state the
maximum number as 100. Mr. Coltart stated that the maximum number of Single
Family units should be 98.
Commissioner Hemphill made a motion to approve the request for change in zoning
from Agriculture (A) to Planned Development (PD) District to allow for single-family
residential uses of varied densities to City Council with the following revisions to the PD
Conditions; Section IV, i, 1 state the maximum number of Single Family Dwelling units
