responded to questions from the Commission regarding the following:
PUD Standard #9 - Parking is located towards the sides and rear of each building - it was
suggested that the motion include a requirement that the buildings be placed to give the
appearance that they are fronting on Rockmoor Drive and IH35.
PUD Standard#10 - Deed restrictions which require a common facade scheme will be recorded
along with the plat - Common facade will be decided after marketing of the property and will be
provided along with the alternative submitted to City Council.
PUD Standard#5 - Forty percent building cover over the entire subdivision is proposed - Ed
Barry stated that the building cover could be changed to 30% and they would have to stay
under that or go back through Commission and Council approval process.
The private street and upkeep was discussed in light of the number of delivery vehicles.
Dumpster locations were also identified and discussed. Robert Wood, the applicant,
commented that the private road would be properly maintained. Patrick Walsh stated that 4"
caliper trees, per the Urban Design Plan, should remain. David Munk responded that trees in
the IH-35 frontage road right-of-way will remain. A sidewalk on the other side of Rockmoor will
be provided by that property owner. The submittal of 2 plans was discussed. Ed Barry reminded
the Commission that the Pecan Branch North project had two options. Patrick Walsh stated that
he didn’t feel that the plans met the intent of the Urban Design Plan in the areas of parking
placement, tree removal and density. After the discussion, Sarah Milburn made a motion to
approve the Public Review Final Plat and Detailed Development Plan of 7.33 acres in the Lewis
Dyches Survey, to be known as the Planned Unit Development of Park Wood Plaza -
Alternatives A and B, provided the Technical Issues are addressed prior to City Council
Consideration and provided the buildings be designed to have front elevations facing Rockmoor

30% overall. Charles Parker seconded the motion which passed by a vote of 4-1 (Patrick
Walsh voted opposed).
