ACTION AGENDA
1. Consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a Final Plat for the Wooded Creek Estates,
Phase 2, Addition, being all of a certain 21.893 acre tract of land generally located north of Lakeside
Drive and east of Springwell Parkway and the Wooded Creek Estates, Phase 1 Addition, being part of
that tract of land described in a deed to Wooded Creek Estates, Ltd. as recorded in Volume 5090. Page
1590, Deed Records of Collin County, Texas, and being situated in the Moses Sparks Survey, Abstract
No. 849, City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas.
Thompson stated that the Final Plat for this second phase of the Wooded Creek Estates Addition will create 78
single-family residential lots on 21.893 acres. Just less than 3/4th of an acre is dedicated for park and open
space, and additional fees or improvements in lieu of land will be required to satisfy the remaining parkland
dedication requirements. The Plat also dedicates a site for a sewerage lift station.
The Planned Development District (PD 02-02), which established the zoning requirements for the Wooded
Creek Estates Addition, provides for an overall average lot size of 8,500 square feet. No lot shall be less than
7,200 square feet, and there shall be no fewer than 97 lots having a minimum size greater than 8,500 square feet.
Of the 78 total lots proposed for this phase, 64 are 8,500 square feet or larger in size, complying with the PD
regulations.
The Preliminary Plat was approved by the City Council on December 11, 2002, and the only difference between
the proposed Final Plat and earlier-approved Concept Plan of the PD and Preliminary Plat is the point of access
from this development to the undeveloped tracts to the east. The current proposal provides better access to the
land-locked parcel to the east. The continuation of Lakefield Drive id also dedicated with this Plat.
With no questions for the applicant or staff, a motion was made by Commissioner Phillips, and seconded by
Commissioner Hughes, to recommend approval to the City Council the Final Plat for the Wooded Creek Estates
Addition, Phase 2. Motion carried 5 —0.
2. Consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a Final Plat for the RSR Addition, being all of
a certain 8.043 acre tract of land generally located west of Sanden Boulevard and south of FM 544,
being part of a 34.412 acre tract of land conveyed to R. Richard Parker and Ben L. Scholz by deed
recorded in Volume 4708, Page 1628, Deed Records of Collin County, Texas (DRCCT) and all of a
called 5.263 acre tract of land conveyed to RSR, LLC by deed recorded in Volume 5120, Page 3027
DRCCT, and being situated in the D. Strickland Survey, Abstract No. 841, City of Wylie, Collin County,
Texas.
Thompson stated that the Southern Fastening Systems tract was approved in May of 2002 and subsequently
developed, but the Plat was never filed. The current Plat will add approximately 3 acres to the earlier SFS tract,
and provide a open space for a public trail along Muddy Creek to the west. The Plat conforms to the provisions
"" of the approved Specific Use Permit.

The majority of the new property is currently occupied by the 100-year floodplain, a portion of which has been
reclaimed for the Southern Fasteners development.
Sam Satterwhite, Wylie Economic Development Director, represented the applicant, presented an overview of
the reasons for purchase of the additional three acres which is in the floodplain. A study of the floodplain was
performed in April 2000, and a Certified Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) was submitted to the U.S. Corps of
Engineers on April 7, 2002, to verify reclamation of a portion of the floodplain.
A motion was made by Commissioner Hughes, and seconded by Commissioner Spillyards, to recommend
approval to the City Council of the Final Plat for RSR Addition. Motion carried 5 —0.
3. Consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a Final Plat for the Bayco Addition, being all
of a certain 8.285 acre tract of land generally located west of Sanden Boulevard and south of FM 544,
being part of a 34.412 acre tract of land conveyed to R. Richard Parker and Ben L. Scholz by deed
recorded in Volume 4708, Page 1628, Deed Records of Collin County, Texas (DRCCT) and all of a
called 5.050 acre tract of land conveyed to Wylie Economic Development Corporation by deed recorded
in Volume 5620, Page 705 DRCCT, and being situated in the D. Strickland Survey, Abstract No. 841,
City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas.
Thompson stated that the Final Plat will create a 8.282 acre lot in order to accommodate a office/warehouse
building of approximately 100,000 square feet for relocation into Wylie of the Bayco Corporation (a lighting
fixtures manufacturer). Also dedicated as Lot 2 with this Plat is a sixty foot wide public open space connector
along the Muddy Creek floodplain on the western property line of the subject tract. The property abuts to the
north of the RSR property, for which a Final Plat was also considered on tonight's agenda.
The subject 8.3 acre parcel is the lower part of a 28.4 acre tract recently rezoned from Agriculture to Business
Center (BC). No plans have as yet been suggested for the remaining twenty acres within the hard corner of
Sanden Boulevard and F.M. 544.
With no questions for the applicant or staff, a motion was made by Commissioner Phillips, and seconded by
Commissioner Spillyards, to recommend to the City Council approval of the Final Plat for Bayco Addition.
Motion carried 5 —0.

WORK SESSION
1. Consider revisions to Comprehensive Plan.
Thompson reviewed the earlier-adopted philosophy of the Comprehensive Plan, as well as the proposed
revisions recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission in March. Commercial land uses are divided
into three categories, depending on the level of service which they provide: the Village Center retail is to
provide convenience goods within walking distance of residences; Community Retail is to provide
shopper/comparison goods located at the intersection of major streets; and Corridor Commercial is to
accommodate goods and services which require automotive access and are located along the major streets in
strip fashion. This hierarchy of nonresidential in turn defines a hierarchy of housing types and residential
densities, Including: high-density apartments, duplexes/townhouses and 8,500 sq. ft. lots within a 5-minute
walk of the Village Centers; medium-density Suburban Residential lots of 10,000 to 30,000 sq. ft. requiring a
longer walk or short drive; and the lowest-density Country Residential of 1-acre or larger located to the outside
requiring driving to all destinations.
After comparison of the existing zoning with the proposed Comprehensive Plan, Commissioners generally
affirmed the philosophy, and that the proposed revisions generally comply well with that philosophy. However,
Commissions also concluded that the Plan provides for too much commercial (especially the smaller Village
retail centers), and too much high-density residential (especially attached- and multi-family dwellings). Future
work sessions will consider alternatives to correct this, either expanding the distances between densities, or
deleting some Village Centers from the Plan and Zoning Map.
ADJOURNMENT
A motion was made by Commissioner Hughes, and seconded by Commissioner Phillips, to adjourn the meeting
at 9:20PM
