Glushko: Requested to combine the two items for consideration of items 4 and 5. Explained the reason
for items 4 and 5 being on the Regular Agenda was because the applicant requested solid living screening
in lieu of a masonry wall. Explained the requests were previously approved but the applicant has
proposed to shift the building slightly closer to the adjacent residential properties, which requires
approval by the Planning & Zoning Commission. He noted the buildings still met the setback
requirements. Presented photographs of the property looking east and west. Recommended items 4 and 5
for approval subject to staff recommendations.
Commission Discussion
Motioned by Snyder, seconded by Hema, to approve items 4 and 5 subject to staff recommendations.
Motion approved 7-0.
6. Consider and act upon a Preliminary Plat for Falls of Prosper, for 148 single family
residential lots, on 90.1+- acres, located on the northwest corner of Prosper Trail and Coit
Road. The property is zoned Planned Development -70 (PD -70). (D15-0007).
Glushko: Summarized the request. Presented an aerial photograph of the property and presented the
approved zoning exhibit for the property. Stated the reason for being on the Regular Agenda is to
recommend denial due to the not meeting the Town's minimum development standards. Stated the 100
foot powerline easement proposed in the single family's residential lots does not conform to the zoning,
Planned Development -70 (PD -70). Stated the Town has concerns with the 100 -foot powerline easement
that is included in the single family residential lots as future land owners will be required to maintain and
pay taxes on unusable land. Stated the Town's Engineering Department has concerns with the layout and
how lot -to -lot drainage can be avoided without significant grading in the easement. Stated Town
concerns by the 4.2f acre estate lot and the balance of the property being laid out near the maximum
allowable density which could create a unnecessary hardship for a non-residential lot or further
subdivision. Due to lack of conformance with zoning, recommended denial of the preliminary plat.
