ACTION ITEMS
ITEM NO. 1: Consider approval of the Minutes from March 18, 1996 Regular Business Meeting.
A motion was made by Cecilia Wood, seconded by John Crowe to accept the minutes as presented.
All in favor(5 votes). Motion passed.
ITEM NO. 2: Consider recommendation to the City Council approval of a site plan for the
new City of Wylie Service Center, located at 949 Hensley Lane, and further described as Abstract
193, Part of Tract 5. Chairman Peddicord requested Mike Phillips, Director of Community
Development, to go over the site plan. Mr. Phillips stated that he has calculated parking for the
service center and what has been provided is more than adequate(12.09 places required, 20 provided
plus 6 adjacent to building on the west). Also,the 5% landscaping requirement will be met without
any problem and the service center will have 2 1/2 %landscaping in the front due to the size of the
front yard(the building is set back from the road due to the future widening of Hensley Lane). The
service center project was scaled down due to budget restrictions. John Crowe asked if Parks and
Recreation Department will still maintain their office at the W. Kirby office(old service center). Mr.
Phillips replied that the Parks & Rec. Dept. currently offices and stores the majority of their
equipment at Community Park, but their offices will move into the offices at the new service center.
All Public Works offices,with the exception of Animal Control,will be moving into the new service
center. The shop (garage)will remain on Kirby Street because the shop has been eliminated from
the plans at this time. Also,the Kirby Street lot will be used as a staging area for the larger pieces
of equipment for Public Works. Chairman Peddicord asked if the new service center was planned
so that it could be expanded in the future and Mr. Phillips replied that it was. Stuart Allison
questioned how much acreage was left for expansion and Mr. Phillips responded that the building as
it was originally planned covered 0.69% of the lot. The City of Wylie owns 435,000 sq. ft. lot and
the proposal was to build a 6,400 sq. ft. building. The City has 516 ft. behind the back edge of the
1
paving and the lot is 500 feet wide, so there is a lot of room left to expand. Mr. Crowe questioned
the possibility of the school system tying in with the service center and Mr. Phillips replied that some
discussions have already taken place regarding this. Mr. Crowe asked about Renner Road tying into
Hensley Lane in the future. Mr. Phillips stated that he didn't believe that it would tie into Hensley
Lane. Motion was made by Stuart Allison to approve the site plan for the new City of Wylie Service
Center, seconded by John Crowe. All in favor(5), motion passed.
