Mr. Armstrong addressed on each of the comments made by Maurice Schwanke and
Company. Mr. Armstrong discussed the proposal for the roadway and noted that he had
talked to Mr. Schwanke and basically not does want to split the roadway. Mr. Armstrong
reviewed the proposal on the map (displayed) of how he thought the roadway should be
designed. Mr. Lawrence noted that he had briefly spoken to Mr. Schwanke and the
concern was that emergency vehicles needed to be provided with alternative entry and
exit routes so that the blockage of a single route would not prevent entry and/or exit of
such vehicles.
After extended discussion, motion was made by William Ballantyne, seconded by Molly
Young, to recommend approval to Council for the proposed Planned Development with
the conditions identified by Maurice Schwanke and Company and additional changes in

Consider/Discuss/Act on revisions to the City of Anna Thoroughfare Plan
Mr. Lawrence briefed the Commission on the Thoroughfare Plan, focusing on the south
part of the City's planning area, especially between SH 5 and SH 121.
Mr. Lawrence identified the location of the proposed Outer Loop on the display map and
noted that the route between U.S. Highway 75 and State Highway 121 had been agreed
to by the cities of Anna and Melissa and Collin County.
Mr. Lawrence stated that Collin County Commissioner has proposed that the County
acquire this right-of-way, 500 ft wide and that this be done as quickly as possible. He
also stated that the City of Anna would encourage Commissioner Jaynes to ask the
County to acquire this ROW immediately.
Mr. Lawrence noted he believed that one serious option for handling traffic in the
southern sector of the city would be to use the Outer Loop route between U.S. 75 and
SH 121. This route would become a bypass around an increasingly congested area in
Melissa around the junction of SH 5 and SH 121 and US 75 and SH 121.
Mr. Lawrence also noted that platting decisions made by the City of Melissa and the
proposed Melissa Thoroughfare Plan created some serious problems relative to
implementing the current Anna Thoroughfare Plan.
No action was taken on this item.
Consider/Discuss/Act on revisions to the City of Anna Land Use Plan.
This item was discussed in item number seven (7). No action was taken.
9. Consider/Discuss/Act on recommendation regarding garage requirements for
multi -family and town -homes.
Mr. Lawrence noted that this item was discussed at the May PZC meeting and staff was
directed to put the item back on the agenda of this meeting. He stated that the basic
issue involved what the Commission wanted to require regarding parking requirements
for multi -family developments.
Mr. John Rattan recommended that the zoning ordinance be amended to require 60%
covered parking for multi -family, 100% two car garage for town homes, with duplexes to
be considered same as town homes.
Motion made by Molly Young, seconded by Nancy Pennington, for the above
recommendations made by Mr. Rattan.
