ACTION AGENDA
1. Consider and act upon approval of a Site Plan for the Bear Foot Lodge School,
being all of a certain 2.873 acre tract of land, generally located south of Park
Boulevard and east of Country Club Road (F.M. 1378), being part of the Planned
Development 2002-39, and being situated in the C. Atterbury Survey, Abstract
No. 22, City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas.
Thompson stated that the proposal is to build a Day Care facility totaling 12,776 square
feet on the 2.873 acre tract. Day Care facilities are normally allowed within residential
zoning districts with an approved Special Use Permit, in order to ensure that the use is
compatible with its surroundings. The subject tract was identified within the
Birmingham Farms Phase 13 Planned Development District (PD 2002-39) for day care
uses by right without a requirement for a SUP. However, no specific development
requirements were specified within the PD for this nonresidential use.
The proposed complies with the Nonresidential Design Standards of Section 4.4 of the
Zoning Ordinance, except for exterior wall building materials. The applicant desires a
log cabin image used on other day care facilities, and proposes to use on the front and
west facades wood planks, fashioned in the appearance of log rounds, finished on-site
with a stain/preservative, with caulked seams.
Staff has concerns that the durability, fire safety and moisture resistance of the siding, but
the Zoning Ordinance allows the P & Z Commission to waive or vary the masonry
exterior wall requirement in order to achieve a theme image. The applicant made
available for the meeting documentation supporting the durability, fire safety, and
moisture of the proposed wood siding. Thompson reviewed with the Commissioners the
code requirements on substituting the masonry requirement and the specifications of the
material the applicant wants to use.
Commissioner Chapman questioned why couldn't the stain/preservative treatment be
performed on the back of wood planks. Rusty Simpson, 4416 Merit Road, Sachse Texas,
represented the applicant of the subject property, responded that the stain/preservative
treatment can be performed on both the front and back prior to construction.
A motion was made by Commissioner Chapman, and seconded by Commissioner
Adamcik, to recommend approval of the Site Plan with stipulation that the
stain/preservative treatment will be performed on the front and back of the wood siding
prior to construction. Motion carried 4—0.

2. Consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a Final Plat for the
Bear Foot Lodge School Addition, being all of a certain 2.873 acre tract of land,
generally located south of Park Boulevard and east of Country Club Road (F.M.
1378), and being situated in the C. Atterbury Survey, Abstract No. 22, City of
Wylie, Collin County, Texas.
Thompson reviewed the history and the zoning of the subject property, for which the Site
Plan was approved by previous action tonight. The Plat provides an additional 70 feet of
right-of-way for the future expansion of Park Boulevard, which is the primary point of
access. Access easements are also provided from the adjoining commercial property to
the west.
A motion was made by Commissioner Hughes, and seconded by Commissioner
Chapman, to recommend approval of the Final Plat. Motion carried 4—0.
