0.
Ms. Porter presented Items 3f and 3g to the Commissioners, provided an overview of the
proposed storage tank and pump house location, and explained Town Staff's recommendation to
relocate the facility away from visibility along Lakewood Drive.
Dan Heischman, Assistant Director of Engineering Services with the Town of Prosper, discussed
with the Commissioners the proposed Traffic Impact Analysis request and the future development
of Richland Boulevard and Wildcat Way.
Mike Wilson with TNP Engineering explained to the Commissioners that alternative sites on the
property have been extensively researched for the placement of the storage tank and pump
house. However, due to uncertainty about future development on the neighboring site, the
currently proposed location was considered the most suitable. A proposed solution from TNP
included switching the positions of the pump house and storage tank to better shield the structures
from the road, along with the addition of fencing and landscape screening.
Commissioner Carson inquired about the purpose of the storage tank and asked for more
information pertaining to why relocation of the storage tank wasn't viewed as a feasible option.
Mr. Wilson explained that the purpose of the storage tank was for irrigation of the campus as well
as keeping the irrigation ponds full. Additionally, he reiterated the school district's desire to have
the eastern portion of the site remain open to accommodate any future development.
Commissioners Carson and Blanscet inquired about the growth rate and maximum height of the
yaupon hollies being used to screen the storage tank. Mr. Wilson explained that the trees would
be eight feet tall at the time of planting and could grow at a rate of one to two feet per year,
reaching a maturity height of twenty to twenty-five feet.
Mr. Wilson stated that the school district was requesting approval of the proposed site plan as
submitted, with the inclusion of additional landscaping to screen the storage tank and pump
house. Additionally, he requested that approval of the Traffic Impact Analysis be conditioned
prior to the construction of Richland Boulevard allowing site improvements to begin while the
study is still being reviewed.
Todd Shirley, Chief of Construction & Design with Prosper ISD, addressed the commissioners
and emphasized the school district's desire to keep the storage tank in its proposed location.
Commissioner Blanscet made a motion to approve item 3f subject to relocation of the storage
tank and pump house, with final placement subject to approval by the Director of Development
Services and subject to the Traffic Impact Analysis being approved prior to the release of
construction for Richland Boulevard. The motion was seconded by Chairman Daniel. The
motion failed by a vote of 3-3 with Commissioners Carson, Hamilton, and Furay, Hamilton in
opposition.
Commissioner Furay inquired whether landscaping would provide sufficient screening for the
storage tank and pump house. Mr. Hoover responded that landscaping would not sufficiently
screen the area due to the planting needing several years to reach maturity.

Mr. Wilson provided the Commission with examples of other sites in the town, operated by
Prosper ISD, with storage tanks that were either near a thoroughfare or did not have adequate
screening.

and pump house, with final placement subject to approval by the Director of Development
Services and subject to the Traffic Impact Analysis being approved prior to the release of
construction for Richland Boulevard. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Carson. The
motion was carried unanimously by a vote of 6-0.

recommendations. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Furay. The motion was carried
unanimously by a vote of 6-0.

REGULAR AGENDA:
4. Conduct a Public Hearing to consider and act upon amending Article 3, Division 1,

Additional and Supplemental, of the Town of Prosper Zoning Ordinance to modify
requirements related to drive-throughs. (ZONE-25-0005)
A motion was made by Commissioner Hamilton to remove Item 4 from the table. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Jackson. The motion was carried unanimously by a vote of 6-0.
Ms. Porter presented Item 4 to the Commissioners and discussed the standards of other
municipalities pertaining to drive-throughs. Commissioner Carson recommended that Town Staff
also look at other municipalities with similar growth patterns and size including Flower Mound,
Southlake, and Trophy Club.
Commissioner Carson suggested adding language to the amendment to address sites with an
anchor user that may have adjacent lots with drive-throughs. Additionally, Commissioner Blanscet
suggested considering a distance requirement between drive-throughs.
Town Staff emphasized the importance of identifying the specific goals of the amendment. The
Commissioners stated that the amendment should address aesthetics, congestion, and safety.
Town Staff requested that the item be tabled indefinitely to better refine the language in the
amendment and to conduct additional research on similar standards in comparable municipalities.
