CITYWIDE SPIN MEETING OCTOBER 10, 2001 TOPIC: AVENTERRA ZONING CHANGES AND CONCEPT PLAN MEETING QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS Tract III "No Trespassing" Signs have fallen down on the property need to be replaced. Tract III People have been working on the land, what is happening here? Wildlife and Tree Preservation Concerns Where is the existing wildlife going to go? How will the Aventerra address this problem? How will the trees be preserved, and how will the natural environment be maintained? What percentage of this property will be developed and what percentage will remain natural? Aventerra Boulevard Why have this road connect the three (3) tracts when there is access to S.H. 114 on all sections of the project? If you can't make connections on your property and N. Carroll (per the original zoning agreement), how can you extend Aventerra Blvd. down to Kimball? Did Bruce Payne come up with the amendment to the Master Thoroughfare Plan to include this road all by himself, or did he receive any input advice from Terrabrook? Have you had any discussions with the City on continuing Aventerra Boulevard between the three (3) parcels? Can you commit to not crossing Carroll and Kimball as per the original zoning agreement? Didn't the original concept plan for this development connect directly into State Highway 114? Tract I is designated "restaurant" and "hotel" what is your definition of a "high end" restaurant? Access to west side of Tract I have you amended your plan for this tract since the July 13, 2001 Submission to the City? Master Thoroughfare Plan Amendment will be considered by the City Council on the same night as the Carroll ISD Town Hall Meeting on the high school configuration this is the best case of "divide and conquer" that I have ever seen and should not occur. Timing for this development to occur? Is City Council consideration of the MTP Amendment done by Ordinance, with two (2) public readings? (Amendment considered by Resolution, one reading) What is the benefit to the proposed 6:1 slope versus the required 4:1 slope? Is this more restrictive or less restrictive? Restaurants have you considered something else besides "Chain" Restaurants in the "Grove." It would be nice to have high end, individually owned restaurants similar to the Classic Cafe. White Chapel State Highway 114 Does this addition of parcels to the PUD require a rezoning of that particular property? With retail hotel uses at this site, what is the traffic flow that would result from these uses? Will there be other entries exits at this site to accommodate additional traffic and facilitate adequate traffic flow? Is there to be access on White Chapel north of State Highway 114? Will each parcel have one (1) corporate user, or will there be multiple corporate users on a particular site or in a specific building? Do you have any tenants that are serious about developing on any of the properties, and if so, are you willing to discuss any serious developments tonight? Overall Development Drainage will you help develop facilities to assist in storm water drainage and drainage issues in general? Dove Creek impact? How do you propose to address these issues as the City doesn't have a stormwater drainage system in place? I hope that drainage will be addressed better on this project than in the Wyndsor Grove phase of Timarron, where the developer allowed runoff to impact the adjacent subdivision "The Dominion." Size of Retail Parcel How big of a parcel do you estimate for retail uses? How many stories (height) are planned on retail developments? Office Sites Do you anticipate surface parking, or is there a vision to develop surface and structured parking in some mix? If so, what kind of percentage estimates do you envision for each? Open Land between Tracts 1, 11, and III Has there been any effort to purchase participate in the development of these properties in order to assure consistency with the development of the 114 corridor? Restaurants Hotel Retail Has there been any discussion with Cooper and Stebbins (Town Square) in regards as to how these uses in Aventerra would compete with or compliment the uses in Town Square? How large a hotel do you envision at the State Highway 114 White Chapel Site? What type of hotel do you see going in there, Hilton, Sheraton, Marriott, or Motel 6? Does CCR's for development have to go through review and approval by the City? How do we insure quality buildings? Sewer Is City sewer available to Tracts 1, II or III What is the plan for sewer services? Could you please clarify again the requested actions regarding your zoning amendments? Tract II Regarding the large undeveloped parcel (floodplain) who would maintain this area? Can other developers alter the use in this area as they come in? In zoning requests, are there plans to request a heliport as an allowed use? Impact of White Chapel, if everyone going to Aventerra is entering on White Chapel, what is the estimated traffic impact of these additional cars onto White Chapel? Has a traffic study been conducted? Results? When does this case go before Planning and Zoning? Before City Council?
