A motion was made by Commissioner Hughes, and seconded by Commissioner Chapman to approve the minutes as submitted. Motion carried 6—0. ACTION AGENDA 1. Consider and act upon approval of a Site Plan for the New Hope Christian Church,being all of a certain 12.734 acre tract of land generally located south of Brown Street (F.M. 3412) and east of Country Club Road(F.M. 1378), City of Wylie, Collin County,Texas. Thompson stated that the Site Plan is for Phase 1 of a Church facility. The subject tract totals 12.734 acres, and the proposed initial building will total 19,231 square feet. P &Z Commission Meeting June 17, 2003 Page 2 of 5 Thompson reviewed the zoning of the subject tract and surrounding properties. Existing single- family housing abuts the subject tract both to the east and south and undeveloped agricultural lands lie to the west. Two residential streets were stubbed out to this tract from the adjoining residential neighborhoods with the anticipation it would eventually be developed as single- family housing. On the west side of the proposed building a large detention basin will be constructed to retain on- site storm water to pre-development levels. The basin will be constructed of concrete and will form an amphitheater with steps leading between the water and the building. The engineering and utilities for future expansion of the church, which will be directed toward the south and rear of the property, will be completed in this initial phase of development. The proposed entry drive for access to Brown Street (F.M. 3412) has tentatively been approved by TX DOT but is still under review and will be finalized in the Final Plat before any building permits will be issued. Commissioner George requested elevations for the buildings. Rex Thain, representative from New Hope Christian Church, stated that construction plans for Phase One will of the building have been submitted to Building Inspection for review, but were not available for review by the Commissioners. Initial construction will include a multipurpose building for use as gymnasium and sanctuary, with Sunday school rooms and offices. The drainage basin/amphitheater will be coordinated with the building as an outdoor room for meetings and presentations as well as an aesthetic recreational amenity. The inside seating will complement and be shared by the outside amphitheater seats around the stage. The stage will be two feet above the finished floor inside the building. Commissioners questioned the alleys on the east and south side of the property. Thompson stated that the alleys that were constructed along the eastern and southern property lines have stub outs onto the subject property that will be removed and the right-of-way will be swapped by the City of Wylie for additional alley right-of-way to connect the alley into a loop along the southern property line to Towngate Drive and extend it to the west property line. The access to Nickelville will be closed and Towngate will provide limited access to the parking for future expansion of the church, but no through circulation will be provided across the site between the neighborhoods and Brown Street. A motion was made by Commissioner Chapman, and seconded by Commissioner Snider, to approve the Site Plan as submitted. Motion carried 6—0. 2. Consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a Preliminary Plat for the New Hope Christian Church Addition, being all of a certain 12.734 acre tract of land generally located south of Brown Street (F.M. 3412) and east of Country Club Road (F.M. 1378), as recorded in a deed to New Hope Christian Church of Wylie in Volume 5237, Page 3267 of the Deed Records of Collin County, Texas (DRCCT), and being situated in the E.C. Davidson Survey, Abstract No. 266, City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas. P &Z Commission Meeting June 17, 2003 Page 3 of 5 Thompson stated that the Preliminary Plat will create a single 12.734-acre lot for church related uses. The two residential streets (Towngate and Nickelville) which dead end into the subject property will provide limited access to the parking for future expansion of the church, but will not provide any through access between Brown Street and existing portions of the Westgate Addition to the east and south. A motion was made by Commissioner Phillips, and seconded by Commissioner Chapman, to recommend approval to the City Council regarding the Preliminary Plat for the New Hope Christian Church Addition. Motion carried 6—0. 3. Consider and act upon approval of a Site Plan for Wal-Mart Supercenter#5210, being all of a certain 18.935 acre tract of land generally located north of State Highway 78 and west of Spring Creek Parkway, being a portion of Lot 1, Block C, Woodlake Village Addition, City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas. Thompson stated that the Site Plan is for a Wal-Mart retail store. The building will be 187,437 square feet in size with an additional fuel center, on a lot of 18.935 acres in size. An additional 1.065-acre out parcel is located in the southwest corner along S.H. 78 for future commercial uses and a 7.373-acre lot to the west will be developed by others at a later date. The primary public access will be from State Highway 78 and Spring Creek Parkway while deliver trucks and other service vehicles will access the property on the north side from Centennial Drive. Wal-Mart has agreed to expand Spring Creek Parkway to four lanes from State Highway 78 to Centennial Drive to accommodate the additional traffic associated with their facility. A major 90 feet wide drainage easement traverses the Wal-Mart tract from west to east that currently carries storm water from Centennial Drive and the adjacent property to the west in an open channel crossing Spring Creek Parkway and continues east. This channel will be fully enclosed in a box culvert under the Wal-Mark parking lot and tie-in to the existing culvert under Spring Creek Parkway before returning to a natural channel on the east side of Spring Creek Parkway. Thompson reviewed the building elevations, indicating treatment of loading and open sales areas as well as color schemes. Commissioner George questioned the type of screening for the concrete compactors located on each side of the building and around the dumpsters. Rob Adams, Adams Consulting Engineers, 500 Nolen Drive, Suite 550, Southlake, Texas, represented the engineer, stated that the screening will be made out of masonry wall and will comply with the regulations set forth in the Zoning Ordinance. A motion was made by Commissioner Porter, and seconded by Commissioner Chapman, to approve the Site Plan as submitted. Motion carried 6—O. P& Z Commission Meeting June 17, 2003 Page 4 of 5 4. Consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a Replat of Lot 1R-1, Lot 1R-2 and Lot 1R-3, Block C, Woodlake Village Addition, being a certain 27.37 acre tract of land generally located north of State Highway 78 and west of Spring Creek Parkway, being a replat of Lot 1, Block C, Woodlake Village Addition, as recorded in Cabinet G, Slide 385 of the Plat Records of Collin County, Texas(PRCCT), and being situated in the Francisco De La Pina Survey, Abstract No. 688, City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas. Thompson stated that the original Woodlake Village Addition Final Plat was approved in 1988 creating 3 lots (Lot 1, Block A; Lot 1, Block C and Lot 1, Block C) totaling 63.295 acres. The current Replat will further subdivide Lot 1, Block C into 3 lots totaling 27.37 acres. The 18.935- acre Lot 1R-1 will accommodate the new Wal-Mart Supercenter as well as the 1.065-acre Lot 1R-2 out parcel to be developed by Wal-Mart. The remaining 7.373 acres Lot 1R-3 is owned by others and will be developed separately for commercial and retail uses, and is not part of the Wal-Mart proposal. The owner is aware that the final alignment for the expansion of State Highway 78 is still under review by TX DOT and an additional 10 feet right-of-way may be required before the Replat is filed and a building permit issued. Dedication of any such additional right-of-way should not reduce landscaping and parking below required levels. A motion was made by Commissioner Porter, and seconded by Commissioner Chapman, to recommend approval to the City Council the Replat of Woodlake Village Addition. Motion carried 6—0. MISCELLEANOUS Thompson reviewed several news articles distributed to the Commissioners. One article discussed the mall at S.H. 78 and 190 in Garland, which when built will compete with Wylie retail. Another summarized the growth of the Wal-Mart corporation. Chairman George adjourned the meeting at 7:50 p.m. for a short break and reconvene for the Work Session at 8:00 p.m. WORK SESSION 1. A presentation by Louisiana Pacific Building Products to request a revision to the Zoning Ordinance to allow wood based products. Representatives of Louisiana Pacific presented samples and test results on their processed wood SmartSide products for exterior residential siding, soffit, fascia and trim materials, which the Building Official has denied as being noncompliant with the masonry— only requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Thompson stated that the Commission could direct staff to revise the Zoning Ordinance to allow wood products, but that a generic characteristic would be required rather than a specific product trade-name. La. Pac. Representatives suggested"treated wood products", but P &Z Commission Meeting June 17, 2003 Page 5 of 5 Commissioner Phillips responded that such a phrase allows wolmanized treatments and even painted materials and a more specific term would be needed. Thompson mentioned that the wood exclusion of the Ordinance is only for siding, and that trim and roof elements such as fascias allows wood products. Commissioners concluded that Pulte could submit a request to use the materials for a theme in Birmingham Farms Phase 2 for Commission consideration, but that no revision would be considered to the Ordinance at this time. Products other than masonry will continue to be evaluated by the Building Official on a case-by-case basis as those products are proposed for specific projects. ADJOURNMENT There being no further discussion, the meeting was adjourned at 9:05 p.m. � ,pp fir" Michael George, Chairman ' M V Bradley, Sec tary
