Mr. Bill Barnes and Mr. Bart Treece were both present to represent this case. Mr. Barnes stated that they have met with City staff and do plan to comply with the first two recommendations. He further stated that they will be meeting with representatives from the State next week to determine if this plan would jeopardize the State Grant the City has, and that they should have a preliminary answer before going to the City Council. Planning and Zoning Coordinator Taryon Bowman then stated that staff would recommend denial unless there is a resolution at the time of the final plat resolving the matter of the encroachment of the park, and the effect it would have on the City's Park Grant. There was concern by the Commissioners regarding the alleys and possible congestions caused by the alleys as presently planned.

Mr. Allen stated that the City Council had asked that this plat be remanded back to the Planning and Zoning Commission due to unresolved issues concerning the plat. One of those issues is the proposed City Park expansion. Mr. Allen passed around pictures of a similar lake that has been developed in the City of Plano.

They included alleys, turning radius of the intersection of Lot 1, Block 4, Right -of -Way dedication of MacArthur, building line setbacks not being clear, and the fact that staff was not given the opportunity to review the revised plat prior to this meeting. Planning and Zoning Coordinator Taryon Bowman then asked that if the Commissioners consider approval of this request, that they make the motion stipulating those changes that were presented tonight, so that staff will know which plat to take to City Council, due to the fact that as of this time, staff has not seen the plat. She also asked that the Right -of -Way of MacArthur Boulevard be shown on the preliminary plat prior to going to City Council on November 24, 1987.

Mrs. Bowman stated that staff had previously had concerns with the developer not providing alleys. Mr. Maier stated that they had not originally provided alleys because of the drainage easement, and the future jogging trails.
