was taken and carried 6 — 0.
Senior Planner Molina presented and stated that the applicant is requesting to rezone approximately 25 acres that
are currently zoned Agricultural, to a planned development to have single-family homes, townhomes, and
commercial development. Sr. Planner Molina explained that the developer has listened to nearby citizens and City
Council's comments and has made changes to the proposal. The changes that were made included all of the
single-family homes that are going to be required to match the zoning ordinance requirements and architectural
standards including roof slope and exterior design. There is an emergency access that will serve as the secondary
access point to the site from Washington Place that will only be used for emergency access. The commercial

Herron explained that this is why there were fewer commercial buildings. Herron explained the total use being 5
homes, five townhome buildings, and two commercial sites. incorporated was the civil engineer and his drainag
proposal as well as access for fire. Herron mentioned traffic and crime concerns had been voiced by the
community and that he thinks that has been narrowed down. The homes will be starting around five hundred

part of the property still has not yet been determined exactly. He stated that the goal is to start everything at the
same time once the builder is hired. There will be an eight -foot fence along with trees that will be planted by the
developer in the lots so the neighbors will not have to see the development of the homes. They are currently
working on an •' for the community.

Commissioner Gouge stated that two stipulations previously were that Washington would be open only to
emergency vehicles and that a traffic analysis was required. He questioned if there had been any action on the
traffic impact analysis. Sr. Planner Molina answered that there was nothing that he knew of however if there was
it would happen when the preliminary plat was submitted. Commissioner Gouge asked if that was being
considered to which the Architect on the project, Doug Herron answered yes, it is being considered moving

Chair Butler mentioned the Commercial building starting with the residential building as something that concerns
him. He stated that in the past, there have been situations like this where the developer has come in saying there
will be commercial land and the homes start getting built and the developer comes back stating the commercial
piece will not work financially and they want to build more homes. He questioned if the developer would be open
to some type of stipulation in the PD that includes a certain percentage of homes being completed or a certain

reducing the commercial development was due to traffic control. Vice -chair Byrne and Chair Butler both
expressed concern with the decrease in commercial development. Herron stated the developpers don't mind addin

Chair Butler opened the Public Hearing at 6:18 PM. Resident Lanny White approached the Commission stating
that the presentation was great, however, he does not think it is in the right area. He explained his concern was
regarding the traffic in the area. He questioned having another park in the area and who would be maintaining the
area. He stated that Country Club is the busiest street in Wylie and that he does not see the traffic flow going
down. He stated that Country Club and the neighborhood were full and while the presentation was great, he thinks
it should be in a different area as the area has been saturated with houses and businesses.
Resident David Dahl approached the commission stating that he has been watching this property since he moved
to the neighborhood and is very anxious to see the property be developed and cleaned up. He stated that he liked
this development plan because Washington would only be opened in the event of a fire. He explained that he has
lived in Presidential Estates for twenty years and there has never been a house fire in their development. He state.
that if they have opened it up for maintenance, he has only seen that twice in twenty years. Dahl stated that he is
be going Southbound as well. He stated that lastly, the owner of this property has the right to develop. He stated
that under the State Charter and the City Charter, he is allowed to develop. He stated that the area was not
overbuilt and that there was a huge street capable of handling the traffic.
Resident Jeff Monmey approached the commission stating that he has been in the area for just shy of two years
and that they moved to the area because it was somewhat open compared to other areas. He stated that the traffic
is going to end somewhere and that is on 544. He stated that he avoids this area. The High School is getting out
and you can't turn left so he does not go anywhere at a certain time. He questioned if anyone had a number for
how many people per home there would be and how many cars per household. He explained that if everyone was
going to work at the same time and coming home at the same time, how would that not affect their area? He
congest the area even more and that he is against the development.
Resident Wendy Good approached the Commission questioning a flier that was given through all of Presidential
Estates with things that they would be doing and benefits of the development however she was there at the last
Page 13
City Council meeting and one thing mentioned to the developer was that they were saying all of these things but
none of it was in writing so it is not legal. She questioned what of the things being said were actually in writing
and how they were going to be held accountable for what they were saying was going to be developed. She
expressed that this was a big concern of hers. She questioned why not change the zoning to residential. She stated
that everything possibly needed was within a mile so she is unclear as to why more businesses are needed.
With no one else approaching the Commission, Chair Butler closed the Public Hearing at 6:31 PM.
Community Services Director Jasen Haskins addressed the question regarding what was being said versus what

all of the things that have to be done. There is also a Zoning Exhibit and if that is to be approved by Council, it
would then become a City Ordinance and that is how they are legally held accountable for what needs to be
completed.

being considered and followed through. Commissioner Gouge stated that he would not want to do something that
would destroy the City in any shape or form.
Vice -chair Byrne stated that Resident Dahl was right about this being someone's property and that they have
every right to develop it. He said that if you'd like to do something else with the land, the owner would sell it to
you. He explained that if the owners intention was to build on the property, they were going to make sure they
built to the proper ordinance. He stated we can't stop them from building if they're within the ordinance. He

Chair Butler stated that the applicant came back and tried to listen to everybody and it looks like they are doing
the best they can with what was told to them however anything that is open space on Country Club in the

heard that before and there is nothing in the PD right now that talks about that. Director Haskins stated that the
best thing to do if this was to be recommended to Council was to add a concurrency requirement within the PD.
He explained that he would work with the applicant to get the language in the PD before it goes to Council and
they would figure out the specifics. He stated that they will make it a concurrency where it is figured out where
there would be half of the commercial completed before half of the houses are done. Something like that.

of the highest homeownership rates in the DFW area. He stated that they never try to burden any other
neighborhood with an apartment building because that is how you get a lot of the problems that have been
discussed. He stated that you don't get it as much with home ownership. Commissioner Gouge agreed with
Vice -Chair Byrne about not wanting apartment complexes.

Haskins answered the report will be required before Planning if the zoning was ultimately approved. It is a
copyrighted document so it can't be put online or anything of that sort but anybody could stop in and it will be
available in the Planning and Zoning office.

Commissioner Scruggs asked about the commercial zoning and if there was a way to remove the commercial to
make it residential. Director Haskins explained that the owner of the property came in and had a work session
with the Council and asked what they wanted and what he needed to do and what we are seeing now with this
