ACTION AGENDA
1. Consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a Final Plat for the
Wylie Lakes Phase 1 Addition, being all of a certain 49.518 acre tract of land,
generally located east of Forrest Ross Road and south of Skyview Drive, and
being a part of the 121.11 acre tract of land as described in a deed to Wylie Lakes,
Ltd., recorded in Volume 5415, Page 4387 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.
Capehart stated that the subject property includes 49.518 acres and will create 94 single-
family detached residential lots, 69 single-family townhouse lots, 3 open space/public
parks and several common areas to be owned and maintained by the Homeowners
Association. The Final Plat is for the Wylie Lakes Phase I Addition.
The Concept Plan and Planned Development (PD 2003-18) were approved by the City
Council on August 26, 2003, and the Preliminary Plat was approved on November 11,
2003.
The park dedication requirement for this initial phase is 1.5 acres per 100 lots or 2.415
acres and 6.87 acres of parkland are provided by this plat. Most of this area is
encumbered by drainage and utility easements and not eligible for dedication as public
parkland, therefore, the net parkland dedication is 3.69 acres.
Mr. John Cantrell, Greg Edwards Engineering Services, 1621 Amanda Court, Ponder,
Texas, represented the applicant for the subject property, stated that there will be three
phases and there is no time frame of when totally complete.
Commissioner Phillips expressed concern of the lot sizes for the corner lots on Spencer
Lane and Scotland Way, Ireland Way, Britain Way, Colby Lake, and Megan Court,
which are smaller lots than on the rest of the streets and could be lots requesting
variances. Mr. Cantrell stated that there will be some adjustments made in order to
increase the corner lot sizes. Vice-Chairman Porter recommended that Staff review the
plats more thoroughly and make sure that there is a product that will fit on the corner lots
before submittal to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
A motion was made by Commissioner Phillips, and seconded by Commissioner
Chapman, to recommend approval of the Final Plat with stipulation that the corrections
on the corner lots be made before submittal to City Council. Motion carried 6 —0.

PUBLIC HEARING
1. Hold a Public Hearing and consider a recommendation to the City Council
regarding the following changes in zoning:
a. Agriculture (A)to Neighborhood Services (NS) District
b. Special Use Permit (SUP) for Telecommunications Tower
Subject property being located at 520 N. Ballard Avenue, and being
approximately 0.86 acre of land situated in the James Truett Survey, Abstract No.
920, City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas. (Zoning Case 2003-13)
Capehart stated that the subject property is 0.86 acre in size, and was annexed into the
City of Wylie in August of 2003. At the time of annexation, a masonry building of
approximately 1,400 square feet, with asphalt access drive and parking, existed on the
property. A telecommunications tower and 300 square feet equipment/service building,
installed in 1995, occupies a wire-fenced enclosure of approximately 1,300 square feet at
the center of the property.
The owner/applicant is requesting rezoning of the property from Agriculture to
Neighborhood Services (NS) District in order to utilize the existing building for the types
of commercial uses for which it was constructed. The Building Official has issued a
temporary (six months) Certificate of Occupancy to allow a photographic service to
occupy the building pending approval of appropriate zoning.
Vice-Chairman Porter opened the Public Hearing.
Evelyn Putman, 522 North Ballard, owner of the subject property, stated that the parking
area will remain asphalt. In order to correct the legal description of the property at the
County, the property was annexed.
Vice-Chairman Porter closed the Public Hearing.
A motion was made by Commissioner Hughes, and seconded by Commissioner
Chapman, to recommend approval of the Zoning Change 2003-13. Motion carried 6—0.
