Dear Commissioners:

Subject: The Plano Tomorrow Plan

I request that as a commissioner representing my family and other citizens of Plano, you vote NO!! on the Plan. Regarding the Plano Tomorrow Plan, I believe available land in non-residential areas should be reserved for economic development such as corporate offices, retail and entertainment. The very limited land remaining in residential areas should promote home ownership and a vested interest in the city such as single family homes, including owner-occupied patio and townhomes. I am particularly concerned about the Plan’s intent to replace existing retail with thousands of dense apartments at Park & Preston and believe that is an inappropriate use of land for this area and this will directly affect my neighborhood and surrounding schools.

Adding 25,000 to 40,000 apartments to Plano for the sake of population growth do es not constitute economic development and is not a desirable objective for Plano.

Our roads, schools and infrastructure are already overburdened and these dense projects are only sucking our resources while not contributing to space for schools, parks, traffic improvement and other needs. Dense midrise and mixed use apartments do not add to the attractiveness of our city and should only be allowed in very limited circumstances where residential space is less than 50% of the project and there are substantial amenities for the community such as park s. The City of Plano is already 22% more dense than the city of Dallas and is at risk of losing its suburban appeal.

Projects already approved by the city have taken apartments to 34% of the city’s housing, which is more than enough. I do not believe that percentage should go any higher. Plano is a great place for families with excellent schools. Let’s keep it that way.

The Plano Future Organization has sent you and the city a number of suggested amendments that in my opinion should be made before any consideration should be given to adopting the Plan.

Sincerely,

Dear Commissioners:

Subject: The Plano Tomorrow Plan

I ask you to vote No on the Plano Tomorrow Plan until it is substantially amended. I am deeply concerned that my opinion and my neighbors’ opinions regarding the future development of Plano is being ignored. I object to designating the area around Costco - Shops of Willowbend as Compact Complete Center and believe this is an inappropriate use of land. I object to the tens of thousands of dense apartments the Plan seeks to add to the city including in the following areas: Shops of Willow Bend/Costco, Park& Preston Shopping Center, Lakeside/Kohls Shopping Center, Windhaven Parkway, transit corridors and at other four corner retail sites throughout the City.

Traffic conditions at many intersections of the city, including along Park between Midway and the Tollway are terrible and our schools are showing signs of stress. We don’t need additional housing density to make it any worse.

Despite feedback from library open-houses, surveys, speeches, letters, and community meetings, the direction of Plano Tomorrow Plan has not really changed. I pay Plano property taxes and my voice should be heard. It’s time that Plano officials do what the taxpayers want and not what the developers and political insiders desire.

I support the amendments that Plano Future has proposed to you on the Plano Tomorrow Plan and zoning interim amendments. Please do the right thing and represent the voice of the citizens of Plano which is what you were appointed to do.

We moved to Plano almost two decades ago for a reason. At that time, the mix of available housing was appropriate, and Plano’s city planning was on target. But lately there has been a never ending push for high density projects. The direct result of this destructive push are crowded roads and schools. In short, things are an overcrowded, high density, mess! We don’t need additional housing density to make it any worse.

I have lived in Plano for 17 Years and love our city. Growth is good but adding apartments will overcrowd our High Schools, which are already at maximum capacity . Traffic has increasing become an issue in and around my neighborhood. There are many shopping areas that need to be revitalized. Collin Creek mall is a good example of aging retail space. There are many strip centers that need redevelopment. Bringing massive amounts of people into our city without increasing the retail, grocery, resources and schools will be a catastrophe to our overcrowd schools, aging shopping centers and traffic flow. Do we have the emergency services to handle the amount of people that apartment bring to the city?

I would like it to be know that I am for Plano but against the Plano Tomorrow Plan.

Thank you for taking into consideration the opinion of the people who live in Plano, I would hate to live in a city that railroads agendas for the sake of money.

Why is this still coming up? My family and No other current homeowner in my neighborhood wants more apartments in our City. Not now, not in the future, not ever. We already have to many apartments now!

Single family homes, repeat only build quality single family homes. I request and urge you to “VOTE NO” for the Plano Tomorrow Plan until amended. Again “VOTE NO”.

This Homeowner and all my neighbors do not want their property values to drop. Quickest way… add more apartments to our great single family neighborhoods.

We don’t need additional housing density, apartments with transient people. They will detract from cozy suburban feel and quality of our current lifestyle.

Don’t build more apartments for families who will bring down our great schools.

I support the amendments that PlanoFuture.org has proposed to you on the Plano tomorrow Plan and interim amendments.

Please…

Support what the current resident homeowner taxpayers want and not what developers with political insiders desire. Be my voice do the right thing for the citizens of Plano. Do what you were appointed to do.

Plano Planning & Zoning Commission P.O. Box 860358 Plano, TX 75086-0358 Dear Commissioners: Subject: Plano Tomorrow Plan

I am not in favor of the Plano Tomorrow Plan and I ask that you vote no. I specifically object to the City’s plans to develop the Shops of Willow Bend area into high-density development by adding thousands of dense apartment. I ask that you remove “Compact Complete Center” designation from this area as an inappropriate land use. For too long P&Z has been pushing the mantra of “everyone loves the Shops of Legacy” to rationalize adding dense apartments all over town. You are continuing down this path of urbanization and adding dense apartments when we citizens have told you repeatedly that we don’t want any more of it in Plano. We want you to listen to us and stop the madness of overcrowding. In the past few years the city has already approved the addition of thousands of apartments to Plano. These projects are not the Shops of Legacy. The projects recently built / approved in the city are instead mostly poorly planned, second-class buildings and developments. There is absolutely no need to approve any more apartments in Plano. With all the recently-approved apartments, our housing stock will be at 34% apartments. This is an unhealthy level, and it is sheer madness to approve any more I also do not agree with your wanting to tear down and redevelop as “infill” many of the 4-corner shopping areas with more high-density apartments.

Forces within the city have been promoting this “urbanization” concept, yet the citizens told you repeatedly we don’t want this. In 2013 you solicited citizens’ opinions through a survey (the water bill survey), and the results said that citizens did not want mid-rise developments and dense apartments. Yet the city continued to pursue high density development through the Plano Tomorrow Plan. We have told you repeatedly that enough is enough. In the survey, in the 4 library open houses in November 2014, in the May 2015 public workshop, in the 600+ pages of letters opposing the Plan and in numerous P&Z meetings, we have continued to say no. So the staff changed a few words, thinking you could placate us and we would say ok. We still say NO because the City’s intent is still the same.

What part of NO are we not making clear? The Plan invites out-of-town developers to drastically change the city that we, the stakeholders, pay for with our taxes. We are the ones who will, in the future, pay for more bonds for schools, water projects, police and fire services – (already burdened by increased response times!), traffic – (you don’t really believe that argument that those in mixed-use developments don’t have cars and don’t drive anywhere, do you?) and overcrowded schools which don’t serve to educate our children. The result will be reduced property values, the opposite of what we want for Plano.

The Plano Tomorrow Plan must be rejected, because it is based on a flawed premise: that the city of Plano must become denser and more urban. I want a plan where the top priority is preserving the quality of our schools and existing neighborhoods. Resist the forces of urbanization, do not aid and abet them. Sincerely,

Dear Sir or Madam,

The Plano Tomorrow Plan is not in the best interest of the citizens of Plano. We cannot imagine how anyone would ever believe that a denser population, worse traffic and continuing to lower the quality of our school system is a great idea. The reasons stated for building so many new apartments is short sighted at best.

Our daughter is thirty-one, married and has a child. All of her friends are getting married, and they do not want to live in apartments! They all have good jobs. She told us that she will not move to Plano, because it is not as safe and the schools are not as good as when she lived here. We live by Park and Preston. We didn't have panhandlers standing on the street corners as we now have at Preston Rd. and PGBT. We didn't have men jumping into cars with children still in them and driving off or the theft of women's purses on the parking lots near our home. We didn't have armed bank robberies down the street from our house. We didn't have derelicts stumbling down Preston toward Old Shepherd which we see much too often. We suppose they were visiting the liquor store at Preston and Plano Parkway. I have thought about taking photos and sending them to you.

This plan is transparently for the big developers, large corporations, and ambitious people in the city government. We want a NO vote on the plan. The citizens of Plano do not want a big city with big city problems!

Thanks,

Dear P&Z Commissioners. Recently I asked the City to explain how the PTP brings value to the current residents of Plano. My neighborhood of Old Shepard Place is very concerned about this plan. The three questions my neighbors want answered are simple and direct; the response however, was anything but. I was hoping to see something clear and quantifiable: traffic congestion will be reduced by XX% or access to city services will be improved by XX% or the plan encourages traditionally high achieving students because...

This response was verbose and full of platitudes that could not begin to justify all the time and money the City has spent on this plan. Here are the responses from Mr Doug McDonald. Please use this information regarding your evaluation of the PTP plan. It has been my professional experience that a quality plan contains more than unsupported subjective opinions to be truly worthwhile.

1) How does this plan improve the quality of life for current Plano residents? A comprehensive plan greatly improves the likelihood that change is not the sum of individual actions, but rather, achieves a common vision serving the greater good. A few examples of how the plan can be seen to improve quality of life based on feedback from stakeholders, include, but are not limited to, the following. The plan: •Prioritizes the importance of conserving established residential neighborhoods and creating reinvestment programs to preserve the suburban form that contributes to the overall community character. •Develops a coherent strategy for development of remaining undeveloped land and the redevelopment of targeted sites in the community. •Identifies targeted locations around transit stations and regional retail centers where mixed-use development may be appropriate on context sensitive sites, providing more specific direction for potential mixed-use locations than the existing comprehensive plan. •Creates a Quality of Life pillar which is intended to establish strong sense of community and high standard of living for citizens through sustaining strong local partnerships and programs that ensure superior services, diverse cultural amenities, and quality educational opportunities. Components within this pillar include public safety, libraries, parks and recreation, and education; all of which contribute to the quality of life of Plano’s citizens. •Directs staff to develop specific studies and guidelines to better ensure a level of quality for mixed-use developments, safeguard neighborhoods through review of residential adjacency standards, and update the Traffic Impact Assessment threshold for new and redevelopment projects.

2) How does this plan enhance the value of a current homeowner's investment? The draft plan is both responsive to the future challenges that face Plano and sensitive to the tremendous monetary and emotional investment that existing residents have made to be a part of this community. A few examples of how the plan can be seen to enhance the value of a current homeowner's investment based on feedback from stakeholders, include, but are not limited to, the following.

•The Neighborhood Conservation policy has several actions to enhance existing residential areas through neighborhood planning activities, city programs, and initiatives such as the Great Update Rebate and Love Where You Live programs. •The plan directs staff to create regulations that incentivize redevelopment of underperforming retail and multifamily development to protect investments from adjacent neighborhoods. •Cities benefit from a diverse tax base that is both sustainable and predictable. The plan supports continued reservation of land for employment generating uses to ensure a tax-base which will continue to fund high quality service-oriented operations, even as the community’s infrastructure ages. •The plan encourages appropriately designed mixed-use development on limited sites where the context and transportation framework are complementary to that intensity of use.

3) How does this plan have a positive impact on the quality of Plano Schools?

A few examples of how the plan can have a positive impact on the quality of Plano schools based on feedback from stakeholders, include, but are not limited to, the following. •The school district benefits from the predictability that a plan provides. •The plan states that the city and local education service providers should continue to communicate and work together to provide quality educational opportunities for all city residents through sharing of information regarding development proposals and the city’s demographics. Staff has recently met with the PISD Board of Trustees regarding the plan in a public meeting and has agreed to work with the school district to identify areas where new growth may occur. •The plan states the city should assist in advocating for adequate funding for public schools and colleges. •While mixed-use sites with a residential component are certainly not devoid of children, there are certainly much fewer children than what one would see in a traditional suburban neighborhood, or even a less dense single-use multi-family site. There are 1,802 multifamily units within Legacy Town Center that feed into PISD schools, generating 67 students. Many of these multifamily units were constructed 10-15 years ago and have sustained low student counts. As an indicator of unremitting quality, maintenance scores are rated “A” for apartments both north and south of Legacy.

Re: Amendments to the Plano Tomorrow Plan (the “Plan”), regarding the land use policies, action statements and definitions

Dear Chairman Bender and fellow Commissioners:

I would like to acknowledge that there have been several changes to the Land Use Definitions in the Plan and thank you for making those changes. I support the efforts of PlanoFuture.org to amend the Plan to keep Plano as suburban environment. I believe the Plan still has a number of broad statements in land use policies, actions statements and maps that also need to be amended. The key points are summarized as follows:

1. Citizens believe they are not receiving adequate notice of zoning changes and the Plan should recommend a process to adopt improvements to online information including sufficient notice, adequate meeting materials and explanations of proposed zoning changes. Materials and proposed changes should be posted at least one week before a meeting for specific zoning requests and at least one month in advance for changes to zoning regulations affecting multiple properties.

2. The Plan states that changes should be made to zoning regulations to be consistent with the Plan. We believe the Plan should specify the specific zoning changes that will be recommended as a result of its adoption so the Citizens can better understand the implications of the Plan.

3. The Plan should re-visit the interim amendments to current comprehensive plan the adopted in 2011-2014 for mixed use and mid-rise developments to address concerns that we have about how the interim amendments are being applied. To this point they have not been included in the Plan, but the city is now proposing to make selected amendments, with modifications part of the zoning code. When adopted, Citizens did not understand the broad implications of these interim amendments and the City’s intent to widely apply them to many diverse developments.

4. All new development connections –pedestrian and vehicle – to existing neighborhoods should be required to be approved by affected neighborhoods.

6. The Plan should require the required 1200-foot setback from expressway centerlines for all residential development be enforced in order to protect the health, safety and quality of life of residents. Delete the word “generally” as it is too weak.

7. Proposals to add residential to existing commercial space in Neighborhood Centers and Regional Centers should include a process to involve existing residents within 2500 feet of the project. Residential in Neighborhood Centers should have a density limit of 10 units per acre and height limits. 8. Compact Complete Centers (CCC) should limit residential use to 60% of total square footage, and a significant percentage of commercial space should be developed before the residential is permitted. This will avoid a false promise of mixed-use. A detailed plan should have to be filed before any potential CCC area is actually approved as a CCC. The Plan should explain why these areas were identified as CCC.

9. The plan should require a review and upgrade to fire safety and building codes to address increased dangers of high-density development and to ensure dense developments use quality materials and methods. Safety and aesthetic standards should ensure higher quality and safety when high density zoning (greater than 22 units per acre or more than three stories) is allowed.

10. The Plan should amend the Transit Corridor requirement that residential should be within one- half mile walking distance of a station to state “a station or a planned station when the station’s construction is imminent.”

11. The Plan should define what is meant by the promise of “more housing choices” in the Plan. It appears to us that as used in the Plan, these words are synonymous with “more dense multi-family housing”

12. Traffic, crowding and maintaining high quality schools should be explicit requirements to be evaluated in developing and re-developing land in Plano.

4. All new development connections –pedestrian and vehicle – to existing neighborhoods should be required to be approved by affected neighborhoods.

5. With the exception of Legacy Town Center, Legacy West and Downtown Plano, the Plan should recommend that the City maintain the existing zoning standard of dedicated open-space of a minimum of 300 square feet of open space for each bedroom in a multi-family development and require that at least 50% of that open space should be green space. Without adequate green-space for all new developments, existing neighborhood parks and other public facilities will be overburdened. The 5% minimum for open space in the mixed use regulations is wholly inadequate. 6. The Plan should require the required 1200-foot setback from expressway centerlines for all residential development be enforced in order to protect the health, safety and quality of life of residents.

As a 25 year long resident of Plano, I would like to ask all of the Plano Council members to vote no on the Plano Tomorrow Plan.

It has recently come to my attention that on October 12th, you will be voting to approve or disapprove of this plan. Please vote NO.

Every Plano home owner likes the current boon in housing prices due to the new "employees", of major companies being moved to Plano, looking for housing. But more housing, especially new homes, adversely affects the quality of life for those of us that have lived here long before Plano became almost totally land bound. Last summer was very hard on the established houses in Plano whose expensive landscaping and large mature trees suffered through the "two times per month" watering schedule, while new businesses could water their landscaping every day or night, plus during the hottest portions of the day along with most of the municipal buildings. At the same time, new buildings were going up as if there was no tomorrow. Highland Park and other areas around Dallas wouldn't be as attractive if not for the established older homes with the elegant landscaping and large old trees. Plano could be the next area to be considered one of the best cities in North Texas if growth is controlled more conservatively.

Our grandson attends elementary school near our house, and throughout his 4 years so far (K-3), he has had classrooms of 20-23 students, including some special needs kids. This is a full load for a teacher, if we as citizens want our schools to remain well thought of. If more high rise housing units are added to the current areas, crowding of the schools will be a negative side effect. Streets that are busy during the day, but not horrible as far as traffic is concerned, will be adversely affected.

If you look very closely at all of the "high end" cities or areas of Dallas-Fort Worth, they are the ones that have closely paid attention to the quality of life of their residents by controlling growth, density, safety, etc. Plano, so far, is excellent in safety as both the police department and the fire/rescue department are both excellent, friendly, competent and truly loved by the citizens of our city. We need to begin looking at what areas the city council needs to work on to keep us on tract to be a nationally ranked city in every way cities are judged. New companies are bringing in new jobs which is always a good thing, but not the only one.

Abundant high quality water, stable school student numbers, taxes that aren't too high and closely watched to reduce any waste, continued safety department upgrades, and traffic concerns addressed and controlled are the positive ways that Plano should pay attention to FIRST. Only after these are taken care of should we be looking at expansion, which if it doesn't contribute to the items above in some manner, they should be turned aside.

In Texas layman's terms, "you need to dance with the one what brung ya!"

I have lived in Plano for 30 years. Three of my kids went through Plano schools from kindergarten through 12th grade. When the city requested its citizens participate in the Plano Tomorrow Plan I did my duty by completing the survey and also attending an open house where the plan was discussed and additional input was solicited. The city employees involved were very professional and helpful.

I am deeply disappointed to learn that the City of Plano is supporting and encouraging, through this plan, the construction of high-density, multi-story apartment buildings throughout the city. The city has enough apartments. We went through this trauma in the 1990s, when residents objected to more apartments. A committee was created at that time to deal with citizen frustration over the large number of apartments being built. Unfortunately, 50% of the committee was made up of builders and the result was more apartments. The builders profited and then moved on.

For a decade I worked for the city as an adopt-a-highway volunteer dealing with the problem of highway litter. The explanation I was given for the unacceptable amount of litter on city streets and medians was that the city had a growing number of transient citizens who felt little pride or ownership in the city. Likewise I feel our schools have suffered with the high turnover rates within their student bodies creating alienation among students and teachers.

Plano is a residential suburb and should remain as such. People, such as myself, moved here throughout the last three decades expecting a well-maintained residential community with excellent schools. The reputation of PISD was the main reason I moved to Plano. I moved three times during my career and each time I sought out the cities with the best schools when considering relocation. Even people without children choose cities with excellent school systems because of the strong sense of community commitment it implies.

I believe the Plano Tomorrow Plan is sacrificing the future of long time citizens on behalf of apartment developers. The term “more affordable housing” is a euphemism developers use to disguise what their true intent is. We are in competition with all neighboring communities. Great cities are not great because of their surplus of apartments.

The drawback to middle class families relocating to the city of Dallas is the very poor reputation of DISD.

I vote in all local elections and I will research to see which council members vote for adoption of this plan as it is currently constructed and I, and my neighbors, will vote for their opponents in future elections.

Hello,

Thank you for your service to the residents of Plano.

As a long-time resident of Plano and the mother of a 6th grader in Rice Middle School, I am both interested and concerned about the implications of the City Council's vote on the Plano Tomorrow Plan on October 12. After reading about the plan on the Plano Tomorrow website, I am primarily concerned about the impact of the statements:

* SInce January 2016, the city has zoned addtional rights to 5,832 units of multifamily or mid-rise housing. The majority of which (4,244 units) are in three urban centers (Legacy, Heritage 190, and Beacon Square).

* Concerns about multifamily housing resulted in changes to the plan. These changes included:

- Stating preference for single-family uses with Neighborhoods

- Stating preference for single-family uses with Neighborhood Centers

o * Specifically what the plans are in terms of multi-family housing?

* Is the city still planing on building an additional 5,832 units of multi-family or mid-rise housing?

* Who makes the decision on the "preference for single-family uses" and will that be determined before the council votes on this plan, especially in light of the impact of that decision on the schools? What factors will determine whether or not "single-family or multi-family housing is actually developed?

I understand the economic benefits to the city in expanding commercial development, but I urge you to equally consider the ramifications of overcrowding the schools in an effort to "urbanize" the city.

Thank you,

Cynthia Ward

Dear Mayor LaRosilier,

I and everyone I know who is a citizen of Plano is opposed to the Plano Tomorrow plan with all the congestion, damage to schools, increased crime and the urbanization of our wonderful suburban city.

Please note that if you vote in favor of the Plano Tomorrow plan, I will do everything in my power to see that you are not reelected at the end of your term.

I was very involved in the election of Ron Kelly and Tom Harrison so I do know how to get people elected and how to get people defeated.

Plano, TX 75086-0358 Dear Commissioners: Subject: The Plano Tomorrow Plan My family and I moved here 4 years ago to escape the poor schools of Los Angeles. My husband and I started looking to move here when I became pregnant with our first child. The schools, taxes and cost of living in Los Angeles are not conducive to raising a family. We wanted to give our child a brighter future so we moved here. The house we purchased is zoned for Renner and Shepton and Plano West. I assumed the elementary schools were all equally as good and most of them are. We were contemplating Plano vs. Frisco but chose our neighborhood for the large lots and excellent scores on GreatSchools.org. Imagine my surprise when I realized we were zoned for Huffman which I later found out is a title 1 school and has worse scores than the option we left in Los Angeles! If the Plano Tomorrow Plan passes, we will most certainly leave Plano and move to Frisco or McKinney. We didn’t come this far to end up in the same situation we just left. The stats are the stats. It is a fact that high density apartments have ruined Huffman. The residents of my neighborhood are sickened by this and have worked to turn the school around by volunteering as tutors. You cannot overwhelm a school with low performing students from less than optimal circumstances and expect it to still perform. I demand that as a commissioner representing my family and other citizens of Plano, you vote NO!! on the Plan. Regarding the Plano Tomorrow Plan, I believe available land in non-residential areas should be reserved for economic development such as corporate offices, retail and entertainment. The very limited land remaining in residential areas should promote home ownership and a vested interest in the city such as single family homes, including owner-occupied patio and townhomes. I am particularly concerned about the Plan’s intent to replace existing retail with thousands of dense apartments at Park & Preston and believe that is an inappropriate use of land for this area and this will directly affect my neighborhood and surrounding schools.

Adding 25,000 to 40,000 apartments to Plano for the sake of population growth does not constitute economic development and is not a desirable objective for Plano.

Our roads, schools and infrastructure are already overburdened and these dense projects are only sucking our resources while not contributing to space for schools, parks, traffic improvement and other needs. Dense midrise and mixed use apartments do not add to the attractiveness of our city and should only be allowed in very limited circumstances where residential space is less than 50% of the project and there are substantial amenities for the community such as parks. The City of Plano is already 22% more dense than the city of Dallas and is at risk of losing its suburban appeal.

The PlanoFuture Organization has sent you and the city a number of suggested amendments that in my opinion should be made before any consideration should be given to adopting the Plan.

Dear Mr. Mayor and City Council:

I hope you will take a moment to understand that I and many other homeowners living in Plano are opposed to Plano Future with special emphasis on "mixed use" housing.

NBC just reported about the number of people camping out for a "home" not a "mixed use" residential in McKinney. This can occur in Plano if, YOU make the right decision and stop the existing development plans. Plano IS NOT LISTENING TO TAXPAYERS. Why? What or whom is behind the hidden agenda? It is not too late to change the direction this city is heading.

Plano has alot of unresolved problems. These problems were expressed last week and through emails to the committee and council. REAL ISSUES. Traffic congestion, Education quality, Medical emergency services, Fire and Police emergency services, Infra-structure, Air pollution, Water restrictions, etc...

You keep pushing Agenda 21 down our throats and I keep wondering why you are so committed to ruining a nice city. A place we all call home. Are you not looking at all in the future and what monster you are creating? No, you are looking at only this moment.

Bill Ames, wrote and "educated" the residents of McKinney,TX with a true explanation of AGENDA 21 and Sustainable Development. Please pay attention to the following paragraphs written by Mr. Ames:

"It seems that sustainability projects, driven by forces external to the community, are popping up in cities across the country. What is the common source of these programs?Agenda 21, the “bible” of sustainable development, was adopted at a United Nations conference in 1992. President George H. W. Bush signed the Agenda 21 document for the United States. Throughout the 1990s, the federal government funded the American Planning Association‟s development of sustainable development guidelines to be adopted by states,counties, and communities.

The core values of the U.N resolution, as opposed to those we live under in the U.S., must be understood. The U.N states that “man‟s rights are granted by other men. As such, they can be taken away by men.” In the U.S., our Declaration of Independence states that men‟s rights are “unalienable,” or inherent to his nature as man, and cannot be taken away by other men. This is the critical difference between American values and the U.N sustainability programs. Property in the sustainability world, for example, is viewed as belonging to the government, not the individual.

The ICLEI, founded in 1990 as the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives, supports some 1200 member communities.The elephant in the room is that, although giving the surface appearance of being community developed, sustainable development programs are in actuality driven by outside forces, rather than by citizens of the community. This is accomplished by carefully choreographed and controlled community meetings designed to reach the objectives outlined by the United Nations, and NOT the U.S. Constitution".

Fortunately, McKinney woke up! Home buyers in McKinney are now willing to camp out for a home and not an apartment. PLANO CAN DO THIS TOO and SCRAP PLANO TOMORROW! Below is the local NBC article about McKinney. How nice to see committed people who want to be a part of their community. The final article is about McKinney

McKinney, Texas scales back green initiatives, disbands environmental office

Dallas Morning News 07 October 2012

The city of McKinney logo signals a municipal interest in the environment — it features a green tree and the slogan “Unique by nature.”

But this year that interest has come under greater scrutiny. Council members and city staff have re- evaluated how much money and effort should be spent on sustainability efforts. And residents have flooded the council with emails questioning the motives behind green initiatives, bike lanes and sustainability plans.

Now, amid pressure from some outspoken groups, the city is scaling back its environmental programs. The city’s three-person Office of Environmental Stewardship has been disbanded, with the one remaining employee moving to the public works department. The City Council has scrapped the idea of implementing a sustainability master plan. And city staff is scaling back its effort to win environmental or conservation grants. …

But the document angered some conservatives, who thought the effort went beyond the role of a municipal government. On the website mckinneyteaparty.com, a political cartoon was posted that suggested that the program was tied to an agenda pushed by “Dear Leader Obama” and the United Nations. Leaders of the McKinney Tea Party effort did not return calls or emails seeking comment.

“We have some citizens that are concerned that our freedoms are being eroded,” said Councilman Don Day. “I think that is where this debate has come from.”

…

Letter to the Editor:

Thank you, Mr. Watkins, for your article educating our unsuspecting citizens, and revealing the amount of money wasted on our city’s “green initiatives. Grant money is OUR tax money OR borrowed Chinese money that has to be paid back with interest. It is NOT monopoly money! Also note, that the “sustainability plan”, prepared by pro-EPA and NGO entities, was presented before special interest groups representing a minority of 1-2% of the electorate. Also note, that citizen questions regarding a vote or costs were met with eviction from the meeting by armed officers. That, sir, is NOT a consensus!!

The joke around town is the our motto “Unique by Nature” is most often desecrated by our own city. They have allowed acres of beautiful trees to be destroyed for office buildings that no one wanted or could afford. They have planted medians with trees and plants (at least in the wealthier parts of town) only to allow them to die – at what cost to taxpayers? It’s NOT the residents who need educating on conservation – we’ve been doing it for decades. However, our city officials need a great deal of education on P & Z to avoid pollution in overdeveloped “mixed use” neighborhoods; the permits for their builder buds should require concrete board instead of sheet rock, higher quality windows, insulation, water heaters, and sprinklers – all that had to be retro fitted in our homes! They are building a skate, bike, and dog park in a forest – cutting down trees when other land is available. Follow the money. How about the pollution and traffic from our economic diversity busing program??

The $100,000 spent for a plan prepared by EPA operatives and NGO’s to compel us to spend even more money, have more regulations, more property restrictions was money better used on our deteriorating streets. The $20M proposed for bike lanes that would shut down one of our two traffic arteries, and force drivers to be liable for bike riders, who wear NO reflective gear, have NO bike lights, NO turn signal, NO liability insurance, and who do NOT obey the rules of the road. Could we use that money to provide better water storage for emergencies? Instead of wasting money on metal sculptures, could we get better signage warning drivers of an upcoming intersection? There are people who will not drive here at night, unless they live here, because they can’t read the poorly lit street signs until it is too late to make a turn. Could we use that money to improve the police/fire response, or by stopping the drug dealing in East McKinney? How about arresting the illegals responsible for hit & run accidents – we had our SECOND hit last week? Is the city paying our deductible?

McKinney has a history of hiring incompetent or agenda driven city managers. When a highly acclaimed professional Police Chief is “reassigned” without the approval or knowledge of the mayor or city council, and replaced with a “cohort”, the specter of nepotism rears it’s ugly head. The only reason we got voted one of the best places to live is because the city and MISD filed an application. It was NOT because of the integrity, financial wisdom, or common sense of our leaders.

People moving in from the west coast, who have ruined their own area with high taxes and green schemes, are perfectly willing to keep our spending and taxes high too. They are ready to repeat a lesson they failed to learn. Please advise Mr. Hammer that our large group of angry, old, broke folks are tired of being bullied by our elected officials falling for the eco sustainability nonsense perpetuated by the eco terrorists trying to hook them into spending money we don’t have, regulations we don’t need, restrictions that are unconstitutional, and a way of life that we fought years to protect! We are strongly encouraging our state representatives to follow the lead of Alabama by stopping this onslaught by radicals, who have their own agenda, which does NOT reflect our American way of life. Since some of us are retired, we do have the time to monitor what our elected officials are proposing (unless it’s under the table in the dead of night), so be sure we will also share this information with friends, neighbors, kids, and grand-kids. Elected officials at ALL levels are to follow the will of the people NOT special interest groups, and if they can’t be a PUBLIC servant instead of a dictator….well if you can’t fix stupid, you can vote it out…the sooner the better.

Dear Council Members:

Subject: The Plano Tomorrow Plan

The reality of the Plano Tomorrow Plan is that once the future land use map is accepted, it will be a tool for developers to use against our city and Planning and Zoning. It is easy to imagine a developer presenting his case and using the argument, “Well, your own city land use map says this type of development is in your comprehensive plan.” And most of the land use designations allow and make exceptions for MF housing. And since the city has a record of allowing stupid exceptions in zoning cases, why wouldn’t we believe the pattern would continue? History has taught us you don’t follow your own rules.

If we have a decent comprehensive plan and our city officials—whether it is the P & Z committee appointed by our elected officials or actually city council people and mayor, follow and adhere to a comprehensive plan that the citizens like with zoning ordinances to follow that don’t have such high density, tiny green space and truly work with the PISD on how we are going maintain our educational quality and to accommodate the school children, increased fire and police stations, traffic, air quality and how much this is going to cost us, the taxpayers, we are willing to listen with smiles on our faces. And telling us that it is not your problem to be concerned about PISD is practically treasonous. Somehow the cities of Frisco, Coppell, University Park and Southlake manage to work with their school systems in a very close way. I guess those councilpeople and mayors have found a way to develop teamwork and a working partnership between the city and the schools. After all, what is good for our schools, is good for the city. When you fail to address that, you fail as a leader for our city and our children. Our children are our future.

The City of Plano erred when they didn’t consider the growth of the metroplex when they allowed so many 4 corner shopping centers. As the population grew north, those older shopping centers were superfluous to new ones that were closer to people’s homes. Now, Plano is about to make another poorly thought out idea to add apartments instead. This will create the same problem 15 years down the road, but with this mistake will come greater problems. Please don’t repeat the problem with multi family. Over the last 15 months, 10,000 apartments have been approved. It’s not like we haven’t been building them. And no it is not practical to think that we can absorb the entire population growth of Collin County. The city has been following the new plan even though it wasn’t even approved. Our city is like a middle age person. We need to age gracefully and not pretend to be something we are not. Smart growth is good, bad growth is stupid. Please say No on the Plano Tomorrow Plan until it is substantially amended. I am deeply concerned that my opinion and my neighbors’ opinions regarding the future development of Plano is being ignored

Sincerely,

Good morning,

I am mailing the Council at large but I am in Mr. Grady’s district.

The Planning and Zoning committee is considering the Plano Tomorrow Plan. I have been a resident of Plano for more than 20 years and cannot stress enough that I believe the current plan is a bad plan for residents.

As the city has been built out with the single family homes, parks and schools that are the magnet that brings people to Plano who continued to contribute to the quality of life we desire, the idea now of over-saturating our city with high density housing makes no sense. The well produced video sales presentation itself outlines our overtaxed infrastructure. Our roads are in constant repair, traffic comes to a standstill, water restrictions are becoming the norm and our school system continues to struggle with increased growth. The last thing we need is more density.

For decades Plano has been the town that set the high bar for the Metroplex. We have watched as corporations brought operations and executives here because of the standards we set for ourselves. And with that growth we have a census that cares about our community, takes care of our resources and has a stable tax base. Apartment homes do not tend to draw residents who plant roots and take a vested interest in their surroundings.

As my representatives on the Council, my wishes are that your votes are to limit any zoning changes that will bring more high density housing to our city.

Dear City Council members,

As a concerned citizen who attended the Sept. 21 meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission, I’d like to share my thoughts on what I witnessed that night.

The hot topic on the agenda was the Plano Tomorrow Plan, and the council chamber was packed with standing room only on the walkway above. As you know, this is very unusual and only happens with the most controversial issues.

Citizens attending were heavily against the plan. Approximately 40 signed up to speak, and in the end 36 were against the plan and only 4 were for it. Dozens of other attendees did not speak, but their applause for various speakers clearly indicated that the large majority were against the plan.

Chairman Bender, upon seeing the number of speakers and audience members, decided to limit speaking time to a mere 1 minute per person, rather than the more customary 3-5 minutes. City staff, on the other hand, were granted about 15 minutes to make their presentation in favor of the plan. This strict time limit was greeted poorly by the audience. As various speakers made their presentations, a city staff lady (I don’t know her name) would loudly call TIME at the one-minute mark. The audience again reacted angrily to this. Although audience catcalls and out-of-turn remarks are rude and inappropriate, the heavy-handed actions of Chairman Bender and the staff lady were equally wrong, and they must bear some responsibility for precipitating the unruly audience behavior.

After closing the public hearing, Chairman Bender read from a prepared statement in favor of the plan that he admitted to the audience was written before the meeting. He could at least have pretended that he cared what citizens had to say, although his actions indicated that he did not. Planning & Zoning commissioners are volunteers who are expected to be there. The audience members re- arranged busy schedules to attend and speak their minds. They deserved better treatment. All-in-all, Chairman Bender’s performance was disgraceful.

You need to call him out on this. A public apology and/or removal from the chairmanship seems appropriate. He serves at the pleasure of the city council. If you do not act, it suggests that you accept his actions as appropriate behavior. I sincerely hope this is not how citizens will be treated under this city council.

Regards,

Matt Tietz

Dear Commissioners:

Subject: The Plano Tomorrow Plan

I ask you to reconsidering overturning the -5-2 vote 9/23/2015. I am deeply concerned that my opinion and my neighbors’ opinions regarding the future development of Plano is being ignored. I object to the tens of thousands of dense apartments the Plan seeks to add to the city including in the following areas: Shops of Willow Bend/Costco, Park & Preston Shopping Center, Lakeside/Kohls Shopping Center, Windhaven Parkway, transit corridors and at other four corner retail sites throughout the City. Traffic conditions at many intersections or the city are horrible and our schools are showing signs of stress. We don’t need additional high density apartments to make it any worse. It is a known fact that apartments tend over time become run down due to mismanagement and high overturn of leasing, crime rate increases, and ultimately property values depreciate. I live in the neighboring community and have for the past 12 years. I chose this area based on the desirability of location, low density of apartments, and consistent neighborhoods that remain strong and community proud. I will also mention I am a real estate broker for the past 25 years.

Sincerely,

Lisa DeNardo

Dear Commissioners:

Subject: The Plano Tomorrow Plan

Adding 25,000 to 40,000 apartments to Plano for the sake of population growth do es not constitute economic development and is not a desirable objective for Plano.

The Plano Future Organization has sent you and the city a number of suggested amendments that in my opinion should be made before any consideration should be given to adopting the Plan.

Dear Commissioners:

Subject: Plano Tomorrow Plan

I am not in favor of the Plano Tomorrow Plan and I ask that you vote no, I specifically object to the City’s plans to develop the Shops of Willow Bend area into high-density development by adding thousands of dense apartment. I ask that you remove “Compact Complete Center” designation from this area as an inappropriate land use. For too long P&Z has been pushing the mantra of “everyone loves the Shops of Legacy” to rationalize adding dense apartments all over town. You are continuing down this path of urbanization and adding dense apartments when we citizens have told you repeatedly that we don’t want any more of it in Plano. We want you to listen to us and stop the madness of overcrowding. In the past few years the city has already approved the addition of thousands of apartments to Plano. These projects are not the Shops of Legacy. The projects recently built / approved in the city are instead mostly poorly planned, second-class buildings and developments. Before continuing to approve more, we should pause and wait to see the development of those projects that have already been approved. I also do not agree with your wanting to tear down and redevelop as “infill” many of the 4-corner shopping areas with more high-density apartments.

I support the amendments that PlanoFuture has presented and ask that you adopt them as they seek to improve the Plan, the building standards for the city, and communication with the City’s residents. The amendments better reflect my views and the views of my neighbors regarding the future development of our great city.

To whom this may concern,

Good evening. This is to inform you that we are not agreeable with the Plano Tomorrow Plan specifically having to build several apartment complex within the Plano area.

Reasons:

1. Current children living in Plano will risk of having to be re-zoned to a different school and in order for us to keep our children on current assigned PISD preferred school entails a fee to newly assigned PISD school. We chose our current residential area because of the excellent school assigned to us.

2. increase in traffic

3. overcrowding not only the schools but also other areas such as grocery, etc.

4. Increase number of students results to increase teacher - student ratio, increase ratio means poor quality education, and you know what comes after this.

Please reconsider your plan for the future of Plano. We want to preserve Plano as one of the best place of residence and best school district in Texas.

Respectfully,

Jasmine Matawaran

As a property owner with children in our public schools, I ask that you vote NO to the plan to add 30- 40,000 apartments to our community. Apartment buildings are NOT the future of Plano. The detriment to our roadways, schools, property values and community in general are not best served by this plan. As a concerned citizen, I ask that you vote NO tonight!

Dear Commissioners:

My name is Thomas McWilliams, and I have been a Plano resident residing at 5916 Loch Maree Drive since 1996.

I am currently the treasurer of the Glen Heather Homeowners association, and I am writing to advise you that the Board of our HOA unanimously opposes the Plano Tomorrow Plan that the City has advanced and we urge you to vote “NO” accordingly. We have had nothing but negative feedback on this planned “urbanization” and the negative effects it will have on our community, traffic, schools, and character.

We are deeply concerned that our opinion - and I have no doubt the opinion of the majority of Plano residents (the ones that pay taxes anyway) regarding the future development of Plano is being ignored. We object to the designating the area around Costco - Shops of Willowbend as Compact Complete Center and believe this is an inappropriate us of land. We object to the tens of thousands of dense apartments the Plan seeks to add to the city including in the following areas: Shops of Willow Bend/Costco, Park& Preston Shopping Center, Lakeside/Kohl’s Shopping Center, Windhaven Parkway, transit corridors and at other four corner retail sites throughout the City.

Traffic conditions at many intersections or the city, including along Park between Midway and the Tollway are terrible and our schools are showing signs of stress. We don’t need additional housing density to make it any worse.

It is an absolute outrage that you approved the apartment complex at Plano Parkway and Preston (the former Park Place Lexus dealership) based upon the vacuous arguments advanced by the young attorney representing the developer (I know, because I have read the minutes and seen the presentation). The idea that that valuable land is not developable for that which it is zoned for – retail/commercial – is preposterous. And you have done so with no consideration (or reached an unreasoned decision regarding same) regarding the impact on the current local elementary school, Huffman, which now is comprised of close to 60% “economically disadvantaged students” – despite the fact that almost none of them live in the surrounding neighborhoods; neighborhoods which are some of the most economically advantaged neighborhoods in the city. This, by the way, is in contrast to the West Cluster (the schools that feed into Plano West) which as I recall average about 10% -12% economically disadvantaged students. This is a situation screaming for a lawsuit; I can envision two likely equally successful plaintiff groups prosecuting a case of unequal opportunity: local homeowners whose schools have been ruined, property values diminished, and have largely migrated to private schools; and the economically disadvantaged students themselves who are crammed into classrooms filled with principally other economically disadvantaged students, i.e., they are forced to attend non-performing schools with substantially lower academic performance and lower socioeconomic desirability characteristics than currently exists within the overall West cluster; therefore creating a system of separate and unequal educational opportunity within the West cluster.

Zoning considerations must be considered holistically based upon the effects of all stakeholders – including local homeowners and neighborhood schools – and not just rubber stamped when some landowner want to do a cram down to develop his property to the highest and best use. We are NOT interested in any more multi-family projects in the City of Plano; and we DO NOT want current zoning changed from retail or commercial to provide denser housing, apartments, urbanization, or whatever fancy name you want to tag on it. PERIOD.

Despite the voice of the people - feedback from library open houses, surveys, speeches, letters, and community meetings - the direction of the Plano Tomorrow Plan has not really changed. We pay Plano property taxes and we expect that our voices will be heard and our wishes followed. It’s time that Plano officials do what the taxpayers want and not what the developers want.

Respectfully Submitted,
