construction of a 12" Water Line from the bare on Line A (along Crag Rd and under SH289) to the existing 12" lin a
CR78. Mayor Dunmire explained that a bid was awarded on October 8, 2002, for Line B (from the bore on Line A to the existing 12"
line at CR78) and Line C (connecting the existing 12" lines together along CR77). Line A (from the school along Craig Rd. and
under SH289) was not awarded. The Mayor advised that the school had stated that they were no longer interested in sharing the
cost of Line A, and Line B would be tied into Line A if constructed; therefore, if Line B were to be constructed, it was indefinite as to
when it would be tied into another line. According to the School's engineers and the Town's testing, Line A is not required to meet
water pressure standards. Mayor Dunmire recommended Council rescind their motion to award the bid for Line B for the sole
purpose that the line is not needed at this time. He explained that their intent was in no way to re -bid the project.
Motioned by Michael Perry and seconded by Larry Tracey to rescind Town Council's motion of October 8, 2042, Line B, awarding

State Bank of Celina, presented Council requesting a zoning change from Agriculture to Office District. He explained that they do
not anticipate any other businesses besides their bank branch at this location because of the limited amount of space (4 acres).
Current plans are to have one entrance to the building, but engineers are in the process of preparing traffic studies to look further
into it. He explained that he is on the Collin County Open Spaces Grant Committee and would like to eventually work with them to
make part of the property an open green space, possibly with longhom statues, etc. on the narrow 1 -acre portion of the property. It
will be difficult to build anything on that one -acre portion due to the shape of the property and the setback requirements.

completed on the permanent structure. The temporary facility wilt only be in place for 18 to 24 months. He explained that they did

originally presented the Planning & Zoning Commission with a proposal to re-plat into five (5) lots, but the Commission
recommended Mr. Gurley change it to four lots. The lots are 75 ft. wide and 190 ft. deep. The homes will be approximately 1500
sq. ft. homes with front entries from Craig Street. The homes will meet the zoning ordinance requirements which call for a minimum
of 85% masonry.
Janet Phillips, 1223 Chandler Circle, explained that she had been present at the Planning & Zoning Meeting where they discussed
the possibility of creating an island with one street that goes onto Craig Rd. to eliminate some of the traffic. Jeff Walker stated that
he did not lika tha concept and did not agree with four lots and the traffic that it will create. Mavor Dunmire asked Mr. Gurley if he
would entertain a rear-entry alley coming out onto First Street. Mr. Gurley was agreeable to that concept. Jeff Walker agreed with
that solution as well. Charles Niswanger questioned the possibility of facing two homes towards Craig Rd. and two towards First
Street. Jeff Walker advised that he did not want to see any drives coming out onto Craig Rd.
Mr. Gurley advised that he would like to run the re-platting process concurrently with rezoning the property. Council agreed but
advised that zoning must be approved prior to plat approval. Mayor Dunmire explained that a public hearing on proposed
commercial zoning was previously held on this tract, and the public clearly stated that they were against commercial zoning at this
location but would be agreeable to residential. Jeff Walker recommended Mr. Gurley come back to Council with a zoning
application and a plat. Charles Niswanger asked that he bring back a plat drawing with a rear-entry alley off of First Street and
photos of the type of homes that he proposed to build on the property. Larry Tracey invited Mr. Gurley to meet with him to discuss

raniiPctinn arrpntance of the annexation petition.
Bill Anderson, Dowdy Anderson Engineer, presented Council with a plat of the general overview of the property which is currently a
cotton field without many trees. The development will include an entrance that drives into the amenities center. There is a creek
that they plan to tum into a lake with fountains to provide character to the development. The proposed planned development will
have approximately 540 units, a homeowners association and several pocket parks. He provided Council with a drawing of the
proposed dynamic entrance, berms, etc. and explained that it was along the magnitude of Highland Meadows. They have already
begun working with. Town Engineer Travis Roberts on the entrance. It will be a multi-phase project, possibly four phases, which will
have two entrances at all times. Halt of the lots are 10,000 sq. ft. and half are 9,000 sq. ft. A major portion of the property will be
open space. Mr. Anderson asked Council to consider allowing them to reduce the lot sizes, and in exchange they would donate that
land back to the Town as open space. They would like to include a trail system built around the amenities center. He advised that
they hope to have a large variety of builders to keep all of the homes from looking alike. The total build-out is proposed for six
years. The lots will have a 65 ft. lot width minimum and 140 sq. ft. depth minimum. They hope to have a good mix of products and
lot sizes. The price point for the homes will most likely be $150,000 to $200,000. He stated that it would be at least one-year
before a model home is built.
Charles Niswanger expressed concern with parking in relation to the narrow lots, as he felt that it would result in residents parking
on the streets. Bill Anderson explained that he has never seen a parking issue with these lot sizes, widths, depths, etc. He advised
that they are similar to the neighborhood that he lives in as well as several other developments that he has worked on, and he has
never seen a problem with parking on the streets.
Bill Anderson explained that they had been working with the Town Engineer and felt that they are drawing very close to a solution
with some of the infrastructure problems. The developer has offered to bring forth a sum of money to help with funding the sewer
plant expansion project.
John Christie explained that they are working on crossing arms for the railroad and believe CR4 will eventually be a four lane road.
Steve Goodman stated that they would like to run the annexation concurrently with the zoning.

FM1193 within the next year. The light will be 'installed before the development is built. Daniel Heischman advised that TXDOT will
not require a deceleration lane turning into the development. Mayor Dunmire stated that he was not in opposition to the
development; however, he would like to see a deceleration lane.
Town Engineer Travis Roberts referenced his recommendation letter and stated that they had already experienced some
complaints regarding drainage issues from property owners down stream. He further advised that he would like to see a circulating
traffic system. He explained that TXDOT does not typically allow developments to take on projects for State maintained highways
but would like to meet with Bill Lovill, TXDOT representative, regarding such a possibility. They previously requested the property
have a mutual ingress/egress. He also pointed out several items that would be addressed in the final plat and advised that he did
not foresee any infrastructure issues.

uses listed in the agreement. Mr.Jobe explained that he has already been working with Fire Chief Tucker on the turn around and
drives.
Jeff Walker stated that he would like to see open green space. Mr. Jobe explained that the steep slope behind the commercial site
could create some serious safety issues if they were to create open space behind the buildings. Mr. Walker asked about a walking
trail from Stone Creek to the development. Mr. Jobe stated that would not work because of a wall and fence on the property line
and because of a TXDOT right-of way; however, there will be a perimeter sidewalk around the buildings.
Mr, Jobe explained that the buildings will be single-story and 100% masonry. They will have a very residential look with front
porches across the entire front, residential windows and most likely metal roofs.
