Turner: Asked questions regarding the floodplain.
Copple: Informed the floodplain is unstudied, but will be evaluated by the developer at the time of
platting.
Motioned by Turner, seconded by Carlin to open the public hearing. Motion passed 5-0 at 6:21 p.m.
Public Hearing Discussion
Rob Baldwin: Noted the property to the west of the subject property is inaccessible due to its location
north of the floodplain; therefore, his client would like to eventually purchase the property and
incorporate it into Legacy Crossing.
Carlin: Asked about the elevation change from the floodplain to the subject property.
McClung: Inquired about the following: 1) overhead electric lines, 2) development timeline, 3)
engineering review, 4) possibility of smaller lots with the acquisition of more land, and 5) landscaping in
the subdivision's entrance.
Rob Baldwin: Answering Carlin, noted a three foot grade difference from the east side of the subject
property to the west side. Addressing McClung, informed of the following: 1) developer's preference to
relocate the lines outside of the subject property, 2) preference to begin platting process in early 2013, 3)
preliminary engineering plans will be reviewed with the preliminary plat, 4) should more land be
acquired, the lots may grow, and 5) entry features, which include landscaping, will introduce the flavor of
the subdivision.
Motioned by Turner, seconded by Keith to close the public hearing. Motion passed 5-0 at 6:29 p.m.
Discussion
Senkel: Voiced support, as the proposal exceeds what is currently on the property.
Carlin: Voiced support, though preferred to have deeper lots.
Turner: Voice support, noting the floodplain offers a nice entry and the entry homes will more than
likely be of high quality.
Keith: Voiced support.
McClung: Noted the request's deviation from the Comprehensive Plan, but voiced support as the lots are
consistent with the existing planned development and will provide an attractive entry for the subdivision.
Commented the neighbors to the east and west of the property will face a challenge when developing.
Motioned by Turner, seconded by Senkel to approve a request to rezone 10.5f acres, located on the north
side of Prosper Trail, 2,500f feet west of Dallas Parkway, from Single Family-15 to Planned
Development -Single Family-10 (PD-SF-10). Motion approved 5-0 at 6:33 p.m.
