ACTION AGENDA
1. Consider and act upon approval of a Site Plan for Office/Warehouse Building,
being all of a certain 17,996 square feet (0.413 acre) tract of land, located at 201
Windco Circle, being Lot 6R, Block 1 of the Wyndham Estates Addition, Phase
III 4th Revision, City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas.
Thompson stated that the proposed Site Plan is for an office/warehouse center for two
tenants of approximately 2,250 square feet each, and the building totals 4,500 square feet.
The lot totals 17,996 square feet (0.413 acre), and zoned for Industrial (I) uses such as
that proposed.
The property was replatted in February 2003 as a Minor Plat as Lot 6R, Block 1 of the
Wyndham Estates Addition Phase III 4`h Revision, combining two lots and providing a
joint access with the adjoining property to the north. On August 26, the Board of
Adjustment approved a variance reducing the side yard from twenty-five feet to ten feet.
John Villareal, 105 South Ballard, Wylie, Texas, submitted elevations of the subject
building and stated that there will be steel and gable canopy projecting over the front
façade two feet above the doorway.
A motion was made by Commissioner Phillips, and seconded by Commissioner Hughes,
to approve the Site Plan as submitted. Motion carried 5 —0.
2. Consider and act upon approval of a Site Plan for the Stepping Stones Daycare,
being all of a certain 3.074 acre tract of land generally located north of Alanis
Drive and east of Ballard Avenue, City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas.
Thompson stated that the subject tract totals 3.074 acres, is zoned for Neighborhood
Services (NS) uses. The proposed buildings consist of an administration building of
4,875 square feet and a daycare building of 10,000 square feet connected by a covered
breezeway.
A Preliminary Plat of the Alanis Addition, creating the lot of record is also on the current
agenda for consideration.
Chairman George questioned the screening between the residential and the proposed
daycare facility. Thompson stated that daycare is allowed in either nonresidential or
residential properties. In this case the daycare facility is considered residential character
because of the architectural design and more fitting with the residential neighbor, and the
screen wall is more appropriately located in the retail to the west.

Phillip Abels, 5343 Vanderbuilt, Dallas, Texas, represented the applicant stated that the
four residential lots to the east will have a wooden fence on the back property line, and
should be completed before the construction of the proposed daycare facility. Chairman
George asked if in lieu of making the applicant put a masonry wall against residential
wood fence, would the applicant put a wrought iron fence in the front where a chain link
fence was going to be placed. Mr. Abels stated that the final construction plans are not
complete, but a wrought iron fence could be placed along the front building line to the
east day care building and in front of the outdoor playground.
The Commissioners discussed the requirement for screen wall in a nonresidential area.
Thompson stated that a masonry wall should be required between Lot 1 and Lot 2, as the
proposed daycare facility is on Lot 2 and is a residential character. Thompson stated that
when the commercial uses are developed on Lot 1 they will be required to put a screen
wall, between Lot 1 and Lot 2.
June Nance, owner of land, spoke in favor of the day care and questioned the location of
the Commissioners required wrought iron fence. Commissioner Porter stated that the
Commission is not requiring a fence but if there is any fence visible in the front it must be
a wrought iron rather than chain or wood. Lot 1 will provide a masonry wall between the
retail and day care, which will be considered at the time the Site Plan, is submitted for
Lot 1.
Commissioner Porter questioned the location of the dumpster. Mr. Abels stated that the
dumpster will be located to the northwest off the circular drive, and enclosed with a
masonry wall matching the building.
A motion was made by Commissioner Phillips, seconded by Commissioner Byboth, to
approve the Site Plan for Stepping Stones Daycare contingent upon any fencing that
fronts Alanis between the buildings or between the building and property line be wrought
iron in nature and the screening wall around the three sides of the dumpster pad match
façade to the building. Motion carried 5 —0.
3. Consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a Preliminary Plat for
the Alanis Addition, being all of a certain 5.201 acre tract of land, generally
located east of Ballard Avenue and north of Alanis Drive, as described in a deed
to Whisenant Properties, Inc., as recorded in County Clerk's File No. 97-0054771
of the Deed Records of Collin County, Texas (DRCCT), and being situated in the
Allen Atterberry Survey, Abstract No. 23, City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas.
Thompson stated that the Preliminary Plat will create 2 lots totaling 5.201 acres. Lot 1 is
2.127 acres in size and will be developed in the future as Neighborhood Services retail.
Lot 2 is 3.074 acres in size and will be developed as the Stepping Stones Day Care, for
which a Site Plan was approved on the current agenda. The Plat does provide joint
access between the two properties, but can not provide joint access to the north or to the

east because of the fire station and existing residential. Additional right-of-way of
varying widths is dedicated for the future expansion and widening of Ballard Avenue.
A motion was made by Commissioner Hughes, and seconded by Commissioner Porter, to
recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat. Motion carried 5 —0.
4. Consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a Development
Plan/Preliminary Plat for the Woodbridge Phase 9 Addition, being all of a certain
49.718 acre tract of land, generally located south of Alanis Drive and west of
Sachse Road, and being a part of the remainder of the 411.15 acre tract of land
described in a deed to C. J. Thomsen, recorded in Volume 742, Page 64 of the
Deed Records of Collin County, Texas and being a part of the remainder of the
199.3963 acre tract of land described in a deed to Woodbridge Properties, L.L.C.,
as recorded in County Clerk's File No. 97-0032076 of the Deed Records of Collin
County, Texas, and being situated in the Richard Newman Survey, Abstract No.
660, City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas.
Thompson stated that the 49.718 acre tract of land will create 230 single-family
residential lots of varying densities with landscaped entry features and other common
areas/open spaces to be owned and maintained by the Homeowners Association.
The subject property is part of the larger mixed-use Woodbridge Planned Development
(PD 98-15), which consists of Single-Family Residential of varying densities,
Multifamily Residential, a Golf Course, Parks, Commercial, a School Site, and Common
Open Spaces. The Phase 9 Addition is the first residential phase entirely within the
Wylie city limits. The Development Plan completes the zoning and the Preliminary Plat
initiates the development. The Plat complies with the Concept Plan approved with the
PD.
Creek Crossing Lane, which intersects Sachse Road, will serve as the primary point of
access. Creek Crossing Lane and Lost Highlands Lane will serve as collectors
constructed with 37 feet of pavement. Creek Crossing Lane will eventually be extended
to connect with Woodbridge Parkway within Sachse to the west and Lost Highlands will
connect with Alanis Drive to the north. Because the requirement for two points of access
for emergency vehicles cannot be complied with for this phase, an ordinance will be
established prohibiting parking on both Creek Crossing and Lost Highlands until these
streets is completed and other entry points are provided in future subdivisions.
Don Herzog, Herzog Development Corporation, 9696 Skillman Street, Dallas, Texas,
represented the applicant, stated that there will be no lots or driveways facing Creek
Crossing Lane or Lost Highlands Lane, so the no parking will be effective in assuring a
wide street for emergency turn-arounds.
