Applicant Comments
John Delin, representing Integrity Group and Ladera Living, gave a presentation including information about the
Ladera company, Ladera Wylie, and proposed floor plans and elevations.
Council Comments
Mayor Porter asked if all of their other developments are condominium style. Delin replied they are. Councilman
Mulliqi asked if the applicant could explain a condominium community versus an HOA. Delin replied a condo
community is stricter and more regulated as a 50-year reserve study, a strategic plan, is completed on the community
to ensure that a portion of the homeowner's dues goes to fund the condo reserve account. Porter confirmed the
condo community is set up similarly to an HOA and is eventually turned over to the homeowners. Delin replied
once 50 percent of sales is reached, a homeowner fills one seat on the board, and at 75 percent sales, the board is
100 percent homeowners, and an outside property management company is utilized to oversee and administer
everything. Councilman Williams asked if the applicants had completed a project like this before. Delin replied
they have four currently active, and four to five closed out, and added they built their first development in 2012.
Williams asked the applicant about side yards and setbacks. Delin responded the homes are separated by a minimum
of six feet, have a 20-foot setback from the back of the curb, and have approximately 10 feet of backyard. Mulliqi
asked if the applicant had completed the feasibility study. Delin replied the preliminary flood study and traffic
impact analysis have been completed and accepted by the City. Porter confirmed they have submitted their CLOMR
to FEMA. Delin confirmed that was correct.
Public Hearin
Mayor Porter opened the public hearing on Item 5 at 7:27 p.m. asking anyone present wishing to address Council
to come forward.
+,c 14
Kelly Hankey addressed the Council stating she resided near this property and had drainage concerns, and requested
Council deny this Item as the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended.
Mayor Porter closed the public hearing at 7:30 p.m.
Council Comments
Porter asked what the drainage and flood study entail. Haskins replied they would have to complete a CLOMR and
LOMR to develop within the floodplain, and have a stormwater plan to handle the rainwater runoff. Mayor pro tem
Forrester confirmed they would have to prove that no water would move to adjourning properties. Haskins replied
if the drainage is currently going to another property, it would remain that way as the post -development has to be
the same as the predevelopment. Forrester confirmed the water cannot move at a higher volume or faster rate than
it currently does across the property. Haskins confirmed that was correct. Mulliqi expressed concerns about balls
from the nearby school going onto this property and asked if the applicant would put a masonry wall on the school
side of the development for privacy purposes. Delin replied they would like to use a SimTek fence which looks like
a stone retaining wall but is more durable. Mulliqi asked if the pond area would be maintained by the condominium
association. Delin replied the association would maintain that area as it would be an amenity feature for the
neighborhood. Haskins clarified in Section 10a calls out the fencing type, and asked for Council direction on
whether staff should remove the wood fencing verbiage. The Council gave direction to remove wood fencing from
the verbiage in Section 10a. Williams asked what the square footage minimum would be and why they are proposing
4-12 pitches on the back of the house instead of the City standard of 8-12. Haskins replied the livable minimum
square footage is 1,322 square feet and the applicant requested from a building standpoint that 4-12 is livable and
could apply safely. Williams confirmed they are proposing four units per acre, and asked if that takes into account
the floodplain and lake to be given to the City. Haskins replied yes but the lake will not be given to the City, and
the applicant has not gone before the Parks and Recreation Board to recommend that, but it would come back as a
dedicated plat if that is the recommendation of that Board. Williams asked for the density without the pond and
floodplain. Haskins replied roughly double. Councilman Strang asked what their other communities average for
cars per resident. Delin replied with 1.46 cars and added they design their homes with lower pitches so that no one
sees anything in the back and to keep costs down for the buyers. Strang asked what are the plans for the entrance.
Delin stated he worked with the City Engineer, and they will do a turn lane with a median break as it meets minimum
distance requirements, and received permission from the school district to have emergency access.
Council Action
A motion was made by Councilman Strang, seconded by Mayor pro tem Forrester, to approve Item 5 with the
amendment for the fencing type allowed. A vote was taken and the motion passed 6-1 with Councilman Williams
voting against it.

WS2. Discuss WEDC & The Retail Coach.
Mayor Porter stated this Work Session would be moved to a future meeting as the applicant was unable to attend
due to a personal matter.
WS3. Discuss the possible development of the FM 544 frontage in Regency Business Park.
Wylie Economic Development Executive Director Greiner addressed Council stating the EDC has been working to
identify solutions to resolve drainage issues at Regency Business Park. Engineering analysis has been performed
by Cardinal Strategies and Kimley-Horn to identify potential designs that would provide maximal developable
acreage within this region. As an example of the impact of these regional issues, Greiner noted that property near
the intersection of Steel and Hooper has had numerous developers come in and put a contract on a property, go
before the Planning and Zoning Commission, and then ultimately fail when it comes to getting the project through
the civils. Greiner explained that none of the individual property owners could provide a regional detention solution
for all of them, so the EDC began the process of reviewing the current stormwater drainage issues and seeking
options to mitigate the issue across the region. Greiner showed a potential concept plan for the region and noted
that the EDC acquired property a few years ago that could be utilized to house a regional detention pond, which
would unlock 15 acres of commercial off of FM 544.
Lisa Henry Weaver, Brenda Byboth, and Red Byboth, property owners, were present to address the Council.
Greiner stated that the property owners are looking for guidance on the uses that the Council would like to see on
the properties and to gather input on the proposed plan to solve the drainage issues.
Council members commented and raised questions about several points. They inquired about the cost of
improvements and positively noted the proposed design on page 17 of the presentation. It was suggested that the
EDC should collaborate with landowners and avoid an excess of drive-throughs on the property. Installing a traffic
light at Hooper was considered sensible for connecting streets, and a regional detention pond appeared to solve the
flooding problem. Members agreed that using funds for these improvements is beneficial for the City overall and
inquired whether the proposed improvements would help prevent downstream flooding. Council stressed the
importance of addressing the entire issue upfront and expressed a desire for something unique to be brought to
Wylie. The design and the retention pond were well -received.
Brenda and Red Byboth commended staff and the City for all of their help.
WS4. Discuss the International Jet Ski Tournament at Collin Park Marina, located at 2200 St Paul Road,
Wylie, Texas.
City Manager Parker addressed the Council giving an update on a previous work session stating that staff
recommended the City not participate in sponsoring a large concert due to attendance and parking concerns, and
requested Council direction on if the City would like to sponsor smaller concerts with Woody Woodruff.
Woody Woodruff addressed the Council stating the Jet Ski Tournament is occurring; however, they are looking to
downsize the concert as the area cannot accommodate a large concert. There will be smaller local regional bands
playing that weekend of the event. Woodruff added they would like to add a concert series with six to seven bands
similar to what is held at the Harbor in Rockwall with a cost of about $3,500/night.
Council comments and questions included what kind of sponsorship opportunities for the concert series would there
be, are other sponsorship opportunities with other groups being explored, will there be food vendors at these events,
j.. 16
will there be a charge for people to enter the marina and attend the concert, would be happy to help with 30 percent
in sponsorship funds for a few concerts, how much does the City have in hotel -motel fund, what would the concert
series look like and what would it offer, worth exploring and trying out, and this would provide a resource for the
City to go out and enjoy.
Council direction was to give $17,500 from hotel -motel funds for sponsorship for the summer concert series.
WSS. Discuss FY 2024-25 Budget.
City Manager Parker addressed Council requesting feedback on the five-year plan that was provided to Council.
Council comments and questions included they trust staff to bring recommendations forward after gathering
additional information, staff has done a great job on the five-year plan, this provides a roadmap of the future needs,
and do not want to take something out of the plan that will cause issues in the future.
