MINUTES
MAY 21, 1990
The City of Wylie Planning and Zoning Commission met in
regular session on Monday, May 21 , 1990 at 7 :00 P.M. in the
Council Chambers of the Municipal Complex . A quorum was
present and notice of the meeting had been posted in the
time and manner required by law. Those present were
Chairman Brian Chaney , Bart Peddicord, Cecilia Wood , Bobby
Skipwith, Bobby Jennings and Richard Eckman, Code
Enforcement Officer Roy Faires and Inspector Ed Richie and
Carolyn Jones, City Secretary. Mr . Jim Ferguson was not
present .
Chairman Chaney called the meeting to order. Mr . Faires
asked Mr . Chaney if he could give a report on the question
of Fire Protection at South Fork Mobile Home Park. If you
remember at the last meeting, there was a question of the
City' s liability at South Fork Mobile Home Park. Mr . Bruce
Stockard from the City Attorney' s office has written the
following : "The provision of fire services to citizens of a
town is a governmental function. As a consequence, any
action arising from alleged negligence on the part of the
city for failure to provide timely fire service is
completely barred from any recovery. Consequently, a
distinction in availability and responsiveness of fire
service to differently situated citizens within the city
limits of a city does not remove the governmental immunity
that the city enjoys in providing fire protection to its
citizens. In summary, there is no liability of the City
because one area of town has different availability and
response time of water and fire service. "
USES TO BE PERMITTED IN NEW OFFICE CATEGORY: Mr . Faires
stated that the survey sheet sent out to each Planning and
Zoning member came back with a number of different uses such
as dental office, architect , bookkeeping and accounting ,
engineer , lawyers , office general . Mr . Faires also stated
that churches and schools are permitted in any zoning as
well as public buildings and libraries. Did the board want
professional offices where only personal services are
rendered?
Chairman Chaney said if we can get a list put together of
five to ten uses with low impact and the other uses be put
in Retail with Specific Use Permits, then the ordinance can
be put together .
