Staff described the request as primarily editorial corrections and a proposed change to the construction timing for the amenity center. The Parks at Foster Crossing development includes about 515 lots across two phases; the property is currently owned by Meritage Homes of Texas, and the applicant is not the original developer that entered the zoning and development agreement.

The existing park-fee reimbursement agreement was recently amended by city council to change certificate-of-occupancy triggers — staff described earlier changes that altered triggers from 50 to 100 and from 100 to 200 for certain reimbursements. The planned development initially required amenities to be completed before the issuance of the 250th building permit; the applicant proposed changing that language to tie completion to the “last certificate of occupancy in the phase.” Staff recommended against the applicant’s proposed wording, saying it would be harder to track and could allow a developer who sold lots to another builder to avoid the timing requirement.

Staff and commissioners discussed alternatives. The applicant indicated willingness to change the threshold from 250 permits to 300; several commissioners proposed matching the park-fee reimbursement amendment and setting the trigger at the 100th certificate of occupancy. Commissioners also discussed that no certificates of occupancy had yet been issued and that some lots are under construction under a 10% allowance for each phase while public infrastructure is completed.

A motion to approve the staff-recommended textual corrections and to amend the amenity timing to require the amenity center by the project’s 100th certificate of occupancy was seconded and passed unanimously.

Staff noted the developer said it intends substantial completion of phase 2 public infrastructure by December and proposed complete amenity construction by March–April 2026. The commission’s amendment aligns the planned development language with the recently amended park-fee reimbursement agreement.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning and Zoning Commission","oneSentenceSummary","The commission approved text corrections to the Parks at Foster Crossing planned development and amended the amenity timing requirement so the amenity center and pool must be complete by the development's 100th certificate of occupancy to match a recently amended park-fee reimbursement agreement.","taxTitle","Anna, Collin County, Texas","taxId",61204,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6426556,"Planning commission approves Meadow Vista Phase 4 preliminary plat, waiving cul-de-sac minimum",430,365000,795000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5897032-13325236cd7bdc6c26c386d3add95e96&start=365&end=795","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5897032-13325236cd7bdc6c26c386d3add95e96/thumbnail_365000.jpg","/articles/6426556/Anna/Collin-County/Texas/Planning-commission-approves-Meadow-Vista-Phase-4-preliminary-plat-waiving-cul-de-sac-minimum","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6426556-46cb6afb778f424ee4eb42a3e47f361c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770450617&Signature=MPUo~gKk1W2pu34OPubJFblgqkz~isJLkNFR59gSGcZBGgAOP0g0vv1qrZ~vu6KeaiSED9k2RqXFpirCLmH3QjYyMBnmBVfR-O9QhE1dMmmw7Fj3~6gGqZmfRy6h4e-7yS1BnryE7M524VF9GERTKLO8uo5m5C7aWoYrGOw3xJB-lnUWkGQWO5WoGRQZwinW3M-47X~kmmmf2ZOkajvYgvQoY5YbZ5SujYmPmBXPWCDCNac25kM~MCG~8UuvA3Den8T9JbkcePo8ppm01TqL-R8JMJhJfD9cD~9Z6DSoDXJ0sFkjGfuC-EnMMsKnQUufUbFKk7cwtCCtfE6j~Akt5w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Anna Planning and Zoning Commission on Oct. 6 approved a preliminary plat for Meadow Vista Phase 4 and granted the developer a waiver from the subdivision regulation that requires cul-de-sacs to be at least 400 feet long.

Planning staff told commissioners the proposed cul-de-sac for the Bloomfield Homes project measures about 182 feet, shorter than the current 400-to-600-foot range in the subdivision regulations. Staff noted the concept plan for the development had been approved under earlier rules that used a different maximum/minimum approach. Staff recommended approval of the waiver.

Mickey Garner of LJA Engineering, representing Bloomfield Homes, told the commission the plat is consistent with the concept plan approved when the zoning and development agreement were adopted. Garner said moving the cul-de-sac to meet the 400-foot minimum would conflict with existing public infrastructure: “there's a 15 inch sewer trunk line, that was built with the Anacapri development that follows the alignment of that cul de sac and then turns left down, Silver Star Road.” He also said a floodplain to the north limits the ability to lengthen the cul-de-sac.

Commissioners questioned whether the cul-de-sac had been designed to the earlier regulations and whether other options existed. One commissioner noted the city’s engineer had concerns about repeatedly approving exceptions, saying the standard was adopted to discourage many short cul-de-sacs in a single development and to limit future maintenance costs borne by taxpayers.

After discussion, a commissioner moved to approve the preliminary plat and the requested waiver; another commissioner seconded. The commission voted unanimously to approve the item.

The action allows the developer to proceed with the Meadow Vista Phase 4 preliminary plat as presented, subject to the granted waiver. The transcript does not record a roll-call naming each commissioner’s vote.","The Anna Planning and Zoning Commission approved a preliminary plat for Meadow Vista Phase 4 and granted a waiver from the subdivision regulation that sets a 400-foot minimum cul-de-sac length; staff and the developer cited an existing 15-inch sewer trunk line and floodplain constraints.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6426541,"Votes at a glance: Anna Planning and Zoning Commission actions on Oct. 6, 2024",53,1503000,1556000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5897032-13325236cd7bdc6c26c386d3add95e96&start=1503&end=1556","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5897032-13325236cd7bdc6c26c386d3add95e96/thumbnail_1503000.jpg","/articles/6426541/Anna/Collin-County/Texas/Votes-at-a-glance-Anna-Planning-and-Zoning-Commission-actions-on-Oct-6-2024","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6426541-f7e8273dadabdfffc2e99f63cc278648/orig.mp4?Expires=1770450617&Signature=npv~~g1XJfUQMWccVloIxQP7YFeC5qbsFTJqg9ZLKb7-dYHksNkLopeC81F3U1n6Xnbh0r8bmPkyASi0Q8q7JtrIrVFM~cOx6HIq55G~D5pqFiRUEyjZYlvgAZFxLgsyTqFSdVuNwqDEZsMbZ4tI85GTfI0yNqPs8YsA9wQRR29X-3CLKr0H7hilLvMNQgwfZCRCGLf2jbFS6VtmxfH3CEyMJK-DrFz3rxoCMQNJY-3AjFnRKLjSSaCUjdzWaPCua7gkj0HPgGJJP2XVrRIgwZasIcrLb19UPCSeF0vvic2CzBnUManaMWfwEymCPDzx~E5GkqBk-rrcMzJb-0Lk7Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At its Oct. 6 meeting the Anna Planning and Zoning Commission took the following formal actions (all motions passed unanimously as recorded in the meeting transcript).
