PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS
ITEM NO. 1: Hold a Public Hearing and consider approval of a request from Tomi K. Silsbee
for a zone change from Agriculture to Industrial on a 2.387 acre tract of land located east of
Hooper Road and south of Hooper Business Park, and further described as Abstract No. 703,
Tract 2 of the L.K. Pegues Survey. One person from the public was present, James Mitchell of
3104 Peppertree, Plano, Texas; son of Tomi K. Silsbee. Mr. Mitchell stated that he owns a
heating and air conditioning company and would like to have the zoning changed so that he may
move his business from Plano to Wylie. No one else present to speak for or against this proposal.
Chairman Peddicord asked Mike Phillips, Director of Community Development, if he had any
comments. Mr. Phillips stated that initially Ms. Silsbee had originally come to him requesting a
zoning change to B-2 instead of Industrial. Mr. Phillips suggested that they request a change to
Industrial zoning to avoid spot zoning because the surrounding area is zoned Industrial. This
would also give Mr. Mitchell some additional options for the future. Stuart Allison questioned
whether this was the lot with the abandoned house on it and Mr. Mitchell stated that it was the lot
next to it (next to cotton field and TU Electric power poles). Tim Owen asked if Mr. Mitchell
was planning on building a new structure on this lot, Mr. Mitchell responded that he would be
building a conventional 1,500 sq. ft. shop. John Crowe asked if Mr. Mitchell's building would be
required to meet the masonry requirements as set forth by the City of Wylie and if Mr. Mitchell
was aware of that. He stated that he was not. Mr. Phillips explained the ordinance that requires
75%masonry on the exterior covering. Plans for building had not yet been discussed or reviewed

by Mike Phillips as of yet. John Crowe also asked what city services are currently provided
inthis area. Lisa Price, Technical Coordinator, responded that services are within 500 ft. of the
property and that water and sewer services are available to the north of Hooper Park and services
available from Regency Park. Mr. Phillips stated that he recommends that the zoning be changed
to Industrial. Rich Eckman made a motion to recommend to City Council that Tomi K. Silsbee's
lot be rezoned from Agriculture to Industrial, seconded by Stuart Allison. Motion carried, all in
favor(6 votes).
