ACTION AGENDA
1. Consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a Final 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
Richard D. Nance, et al, 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 Final Plat will create two lots totaling 5.201 acres, and is zoned
for Neighborhood Services (NS) uses. 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 immediately as the Stepping Stones Day Care, for which a Site Plan and
Preliminary Plat were approved by the Commission in September 16, 2003.
A joint access easement is provided between Lots 1 and 2, which will provide access to
both lots from the median cut on Alanis Drive. Due to Fire Station on the north of Lot 1
and existing residences to the east of Lot 2, no joint access beyond the subject plat is
possible.
With no questions for the applicant, or further discussion, a motion was made by
Commissioner Chapman, and seconded by Commissioner Phillips, to recommend
approval to the City Council regarding the Final Plat for the Alanis Addition. Motion
carried 7—0.
2. Consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a Final Plat, being a
Replat of Lot 46, Block D, Cimarron Estates Phase II Addition, being all of a
certain 0.195 acre tract of land, located at 2917 Jamestown Drive, as described in
a deed to Centex Homes, recorded in Volume 5136, Page 1815 of the Deed
Records of Collin County, Texas (DRCCT), and being situated in the Francisco
De La Pina Survey, Abstract No. 688, City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas.
Thompson stated that the Replat of Lot 46, Block D, of the Cimarron Estates Phase II
Addition, will reduce the existing drainage easement width from ten feet to nine feet.
This replat is intended to remove an encroachment of 0.8 foot into the easement by the
existing house recently constructed on the subject lot.
The City Engineer has determined that the calculated storm water can be accommodated
within the remaining easement, which is nine (9) feet wide on the subject Lot 46R and
five (5) feet wide on Lot 45.

Thompson stated that the Zoning Board of Adjustment typically approves variances for
encroachments into required yards. However this is a builder error creating a self
imposed hardship, and applies to an easement rather than a side yard, so the best remedy
is to replat the lot to remove the encroachment.
A motion was made by Commissioner Phillips, and seconded by Commissioner
Chapman, to recommend approval to the City Council regarding the Final Plat, being a
Replat of Lot 46, Block D, Cimarron Estates Phase II Addition. Motion carried 7—0.
3. Consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a Final Plat for the
Birmingham Farms Phase 4 Addition, being all of a certain 13.955 acre tract
combining the 5.911 acre tract of land called Tract A and the 8.044 acre tract of
land called Tract B, generally located east of Country Club Road (F.M. 1378) at
Talladega Drive, as described in a Contract for Deed to Centex Homes, and being
situated in the C. McUlmurry Survey, Abstract No. 629, City of Wylie, Collin
County, Texas.
Thompson stated that the Final Plat will create 44 lots for single-family detached
residential dwellings, as well as common open space for landscaped entries and drainage
basins to be owned and maintained by the Homeowners Association. The Plat dedicates
additional right-of-way for the future widening of Country Club Road, and provides local
streets that will provide access to two City Parks.
The subject property was rezoned to Planned Development (PD) for single-family
detached residential based on the Single-Family 8.5/17 District with certain stated
conditions, including no alleys and 65 feet wide lots rather than the required 70 feet. The
Planned Development (PD) 2002-38 was approved by the City Council on September 24,
2002.
As provided by the PD, park dedication fees shall be waived provided comparable funds
are used for park improvements within or adjacent to the platted area. All park
improvements must be in place and accepted by the City prior to filing the Final Plat and
issuance of Building Permits.
A motion was made by Commissioner Byboth, and seconded by Commissioner
Chapman, to recommend approval to City Council regarding the Final Plat for the
Birmingham Farms Phase 4 Addition. Motion carried 7 — 0.

Birmingham Farms Phase 13A Addition, being all of a certain 25.961 acre tract of
land, generally located east of Country Club Road (F.M. 1378) and south of Park
Boulevard, as described in a Contract for Deed to Centex Homes, and being
situated in the C. McUlmurry Survey, Abstract No. 629, City of Wylie, Collin
County, Texas.
Thompson stated that the Final Plat includes 25.961 acres and will create 78 single-
family residential lots and common areas/open spaces to be owned and maintained by the
Homeowners Association. The subject property is the initial phase of the larger
Birmingham Farms Planned Development (PD 2002-39), which conforms to the
requirements of the Single Family 8.5/17 District except that the minimum lot width is 65
feet and no alleys are required.
The Right-of-way for the widening of Country Club Road (FM 1378) will be dedicated
by this Plat. Prior to the issuance of a Residential Certificate of Occupancy within Phase
13A, the developer and/or owner of the property will be required to construct a bridge
sufficient to carry 3 lanes of traffic and a 4 feet wide pedestrian walkway on Park
Boulevard to the northwest of the subject property.

Southbrook Phase I Addition, being all of a certain 26.2357 acre tract of land,

association, as well as provide for right-of-way for the future widening of Elm Road.

minimum lot size of 8,000 square feet with a minimum lot width of 65 feet. Side yards
adjacent to streets are to be at least 15 feet wide, unless they are key lots, which must be a

seconded by Commissioner Chapman, to recommend approval to City Council regarding
a Final Plat for the Southbrook Phase I Addition. Motion carried 7—0.
6. Consider and act upon approval of a Site Plan for the Kwik Kar Lube and Tune
(Lot 5A) and Dry Cleaners (Lot 5B), being all of a certain 1.40 acre tract of land,
generally located east of Westgate Way and south of F.M. 544, City of Wylie,

in size and the building is 3,652 square feet in size. Lot 5B is 26,806 square feet (0.62
acre) in size and the building is 3,500 square feet in size.
A Site Plan and Final Plat were approved for the property as part of the Greenway
Addition in April of 2001 prior to the zoning ordinance revision. However, Lot 5 is to be
replatted into two lots thus removing all of the vested rights under the previous code and
must now be developed entirely under the current code.
Chairman George asked the applicant to describe the chiller, which is located on the
northwest corner of the dry cleaners building. Craig T. Liebenderfer, Kwik Industries,
Inc., 4725 Nall Road, Dallas, Texas, represented the developer, stated that the chiller is
an evaporative cooler for the building, and is approximately six feet by eight feet.
Chairman George recommended that the chiller be screened. Mr. Liebenderfer agreed to
realign the screening around the dumpster and include the chiller, although the wall for
the chiller will have openings for ventilation and the dumpster wall will be solid.
Commissioner Phillips questioned the four parking spaces on the northwest corner
measuring 9 by 18 feet, and recommended that these parking spaces be restriped to
measure the current requirement of 10 by 20 feet. Mr. Liebenderfer agreed to restrip the
parking spaces on the northwest corner to measure 10 by 20 feet.
A motion was made by Commissioner Phillips, and seconded by Commissioner
Chapman, to approve the Site Plan with stipulations that screening be included around the
chiller and the dumpster; and the four parking spaces be restripped to measure 10 by 20
feet. Motion carried 7—0.

the Kwik Dry Clean Center, for which the Site Plan was previously considered on the
current agenda.
With no questions for the applicant, a motion was made by Commissioner Chapman, and

buildings will be 100 percent masonry on the outside and single story. Between each
building there will be a wrought iron fence. Along McCreary Road there will be a thirty
foot landscape buffer, which will provide an entryway similar to the landscaping for the
single-family residential subdivision to the north of the subject property.
Mr. Haskins recommended that the Commissioners review and modify the requirement
that twenty percent (20%) of such retail sites be landscaped. He had to reduce the square
