in re-evaluating the hydrology, indicated drainage and detention will be adequate and certain drainage
will be directed to Preston Road.

Summary
Copple: Summarized the request to amend PD-40. Presented the overall concept plan for Windsong
Ranch, noting the location of the amenity center. Briefed on the amenity center's fagade materials,
including the proposed ipe. Listed fagade material requirements per the Zoning Ordinance and the
percentage of secondary materials allowed. Reiterated the warranty and fire testing report for the
proposed ipe has been provided by the applicant, and the fire marshal reviewed said report.
Recommended denial.
Discussion with Staff
Turner: Asked if the fire marshal had any issues with the ipe.
Carlin: Asked if the recommendation for denial is because the ipe doesn't meet the fagade material
requirements in the Zoning Ordinance.
Copple: Addressing Turner, informed the ipe does meet fire code per the fire marshal. Answering Carlin,
informed the Zoning Ordinance doesn't allow wood as a primary material, nor does it allow a secondary
material, of which the ipe is considered, to exceed ten (10) percent.
Motioned by Moody, seconded Carlin to open the public hearing. Motion passed 6-0 at 6:14 p.m.

Copple: Informed that should the developer wish to use ipe on another amenity center, the developer
would be required to request another PD amendment.
Motioned by McClung, seconded by Turner to close the public hearing. Motion passed 6-0 at 6:54 p.m.
Commission Discussion:
Keith: Noted the amenity center's architectural similarity to the upper -end architectural styles seen in
Austin. Concerned about maintenance issues in twenty (20) to thirty (30) years. Voiced support for the
amendment.
Moody: Offered support for the use of ipe, noting required maintenance will probably not exceed the
maintenance required for other materials. Asked for confirmation that the amendment is only for Exhibit
C, Section 1(f)(a)(C) and what percentage of materials would be required.
Copple: Confirmed the amendment is for Exhibit C, Section 1(0(a)(C) only and that the Zoning
Ordinance requires a secondary material not to exceed ten (10) percent of the total material used.
McClung: Conveyed he has no concerns with the use of ipe; however, the overall aesthetics of the
amenity center resembles a downtown Dallas building, not something one would find in Prosper. Noted
the Comprehensive Plan specifies Prosper to have a rural, rustic feel with open spaces. Preferred ipe use
at ten (10) percent rather than forty (40) percent in order to better attain the Comprehensive Plan's
objective. Did not voice support for the amendment.
Carlin: Preferred the amenity center be more architecturally traditional rather than contemporary, but
conveyed the Windsong Ranch residents may like contemporary styles and having a unique design is
something desired for Prosper. Voiced support for the amendment.
DeMattia: Voiced support for the amendment.
Motioned by Carlin, seconded by Moody to approve a request to rezone 12.3f acres, located on the east
side of future Windsong Parkway and the terminus of future Acacia Parkway, to amend Planned
Development-40 (PD-40), Exhibit C, Section 1(f)(a)(C) as submitted. Motion approved 5-1 at 6:59 p.m.,
with McClung in opposition to the motion.
Commissioner McClung noted he does not believe the proposed amendment conforms to the objectives of
the Comprehensive Plan regarding rural and rustic aesthetics, for which the Town is aiming.

There was no discussion on this item.
