Public Hearin,, Discussion
DeMattia: Asked the applicant if they are willing to discuss other elements of PD-15.
Jennifer Haynes (applicant): Preferred to not subject additional sections of PD-15 for amendment at this
time.
Mark McGuire (Highland Meadows resident): Concerned about the following: 1) the lot sizes along the
eastern border of Frontier Estates, requesting a twenty (20) foot buffer with a living screen, and 2) the
disproportionate look of small lots in Frontier Estates located across Frontier Parkway from one acre lots
in the City of Celina.
Tom Beitel (Highland Meadows resident): Commented on the side yard setbacks for the lots in Frontier
Estates adjacent to Post Oak Court, noting the Highland Meadows homes at the end of Post Oak Court are
fifty and seventy feet from the edge of pavement. Concerned the location of the homes on Post Oak Court
in Frontier Estates will look disproportionate to the location of the homes in Highland Meadows.
Bruce Mueller (Highland Meadows resident): Concerned about the side yard setback for the lots in
Frontier Estates adjacent to Post Oak Court. Requested the trees within PD-15 be saved and a buffer be
added between the Frontier Estates lots and the Highland Meadows lots.
Motioned by Carlin, seconded by Turner to close the public hearing. Motion passed 5-0 at 6:21 p.m.
Discussion
Senkel: Noted the Commission's limitations, as the applicant is only requesting an amendment to Section
2.05 and prefers to not amend any other portion of PD-15 at this time.
Carlin: Noted the concerns of the Highland Meadows residents, but agreed with Senkel regarding the
Commission's limitations.
Turner: Asked staff for confirmation that Post Oak Court will continue into Frontier Estates at a paving
width of twenty-six (26) feet. Asked the applicant if additional lots will be created due to the reduction in
right-of-way acreage.
Carlin: Asked the applicant if they would be willing to increase the setbacks along Post Oak Court.

Copple: Confirmed for Turner that Post Oak Court will continue with a paving width of twenty-six (26)
feet.
Robert Homes (developer): Answering Turner, informed the area savings will add to lot depth; thereby
allowing for larger pad sites. Noted the PD allows for a maximum of sixty-five (65) lots at 10,000 square
feet and a maximum of 205 lots at 12,500 square feet; however, the subdivision design does not include
10,000 square foot lots and only includes approximately eleven (11) lots less than 12,500 square feet.
Addressing Carlin, assured they have considered increasing the setbacks.
Moody: Concurred with Commissioners and appreciated that the saved right-of-way acreage will be used
to increase lot depth.
DeMattia: Asked the applicant to consider tabling the item and allowing more of the PD to be amended
with regards to the property's eastern boundary, screening, and other concerns of the Highland Meadows
residents.
Robert Holmes: Asked the Commission to act on the request. Informed a preliminary plat has been
submitted to the Planning Division.
Copple: Informed the Commission that the applicant's request is to amend Exhibit C, Section 2.05
(Streets) only. Should other exhibits or sections of the PD be amended, the applicant must submit a
separate zoning request.
Motioned by Carlin, seconded by Turner to approved the request to rezone 124.7f acres, located on the
south side of Frontier Parkway, 800f feet east of Preston Road to amend Planned Development-15 (PD-
15), Exhibit C, Section 2.05 (Streets). Motion approved 5-0 at 6:33 p.m.
6. Consider and act upon a request to rezone 0.3f acre, located on the north side of First
Street, 1,500f feet east of Legacy Drive from Agricultural (A) to Planned Development -
Agricultural (PD-A). (Z12-0004).
Summary
Copple: Summarized the request to rezone and briefed on discussions from the January 15, 2013
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting. Informed the applicant's request has been revised from
allowing a 120 foot antenna pole to allowing a 100 foot antenna pole. Noted the Future Land Use Plan
(herein called the FLUP) recommendation. Informed notification was given in accordance with state law
and that the Planning Division received three public hearing notice reply forms, two of which are in
opposition to the request. Recommended denial.
Discussion with Staff
DeMattia: Asked for confirmation that the only change to the request is to allow a 100 foot antenna pole
rather than a 120 foot antenna pole.
Turner: Asked if the recommendation for denial is based off of a commercial use in a residential area
according to the FLUP. Asked about the regulations regarding a flag pole without an antenna.
Carlin: Asked questions about the surrounding zoning.
Copple: Answering DeMattia, confirmed the antenna pole height change is the only revision to the
request. Addressing Turner, clarified the recommendation for denial is primarily due to the allowable
height within residential districts and less intense non-residential districts. Noted the Sign Ordinance
restricts flagpoles to forty (40) feet in height. Clarified the area included in the request and the
surrounding zoning for Carlin.
