Chair Daniel asked Town Staff about reply forms received from homeowners, the distance that
the cell tower was relocated from the original location, and effects from the cell tower being close
to the power lines.
Mrs. Porter answered that Town Staff did not receive any reply forms from homeowners prior to

the cell tower.
Chair Daniel opened the public hearing.
Bill Bauman (applicant) introduced himself and answered that the relocation distance was 450
feet and they have completed research to ensure there are no negative impacts from the cell
tower being close to the power lines.

Motion passed unanimously.
6. Conduct a Public Hearing to consider and act upon amending Chapter 3, Section 1.4
— Conditional Development Standards of the Town of Prosper Zoning Ordinance to
modify requirements related to gas pumps. (ZONE-23-0039)
Commissioners asked Town Staff about the benefit of changing the distance requirement of gas
pumps to an intersection to permitted by right instead of on a case -by -case basis through a
Planned Development, the impact to convenience stores with gas pumps, the definition of a Big
Box, the minimum area being set for a grocery store, and whether Town Staff has fully reviewed
the current ordinance to see if there are any other changes that should be made.
Mrs. Porter answered that this amendment would allow grocery stores with gas pumps to move
the gas pumps from the intersection to alleviate traffic congestion. A convenience store with gas
pumps that is a stand-alone use, not affiliated with a grocery store or Big Box, can situate itself
better at intersections than a grocery store or Big Box with gas pumps. A Big Box is defined as a
80,000 square foot building where they may have other tenants and grocery stores is defined as
a retail store. Staff wanted to ensure that grocery stores of a certain size are the only ones that
are impacted by the ordinance change.

Mr. Hoover commented that Town Staff is unsure of the history that established a 200-foot
distance requirement from the corner of an intersection. Staff proposes to amend the ordinance
due to grocery stores changing in size and services provided over time. The ordinance did not
anticipate the growth of the Big Box and grocery stores and does not address the growing traffic
congestion at intersections.
Chair Daniel opened the public hearing.
No comments were made.
Chair Daniel closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Carson made a motion to approve Item 6. Seconded by Vice Chair Jackson.
Motion passed unanimously.
7. Review actions taken by the Town Council and possibly direct Town Staff to
schedule topic(s) for discussion at a future meeting.
8. Adjourn.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:38 p.m.
