REGULAR AGENDA

properties, and noted current Town requirements for lots fronting on public roads. Presented
exhibits provided by the applicant. Recommended approval of the request.
The Public Hearing was opened by Chair Alzner.
John Harris (Developer): Described the current request for a three story office development and
the need in Prosper for individual executive office lease space suites less than 1,500 square
feet. Expressed a desire to incorporate a design that uses similar building materials but that
allows for each building to have a unique architectural design.
A/zner. Asked if all three floors of the building would be executive suites.
Harris (Developer): Indicated that one floor may be for executive suites and the remaining
floors would be for larger tenants.
Snyder. Requested additional information regarding the traffic generated by the development
and how it would be controlled, the disturbance to surrounding residential properties, how the
topography and drainage compares to the nearby Prosper Bank development, parking, safety,
and if the Town's Fire Department has the capability to service such a building.
Harris: Indicated that pending design and approval by the Town, they anticipated a ground
breaking in 90 days. Explained the property has been graded, but additional grading would be
needed to lower the grade, and that retaining walls would be required.
