development designated as Stoneridge Farms located at the junction of Stone Road and FM 544 just
south of Quail Hollow subdivision. Staff recommends approval. Lots are 1 acre minimum. Concerns
were raised re:having only one entrance/exit. The one entrance/exit is a divided median and meets
all requirements.According to the consulting engineer,another entrance/exit would cause some traffic
flow problems with the subdivisions entries across FM 544. Drainage was questioned and Staff
stated that a drainage study would be done before a Preliminary Plat could be approved. A motion was
made by Steve Ahrens,seconded by Jim Smith,to approve the Land Study submitted by Goff Homes

PUBLIC HEARING
ITEM NO. 1: Hold a Public Hearing and consider a recommendation to the City Council a request
from Roy Neely for approval of a zone change from"A"Agriculture to "B-2" Business District for
property located on the south side of State Highway 78 North, east of Kreymer Lane and more
particularly described as lots 6,7 and 8 of Wylie Ranch East Commercial Park. Chairman Peddicord
asked for Staff comment. Kelley Shaw,Planner, stated that a machine shop was an allowable use in
B-2, Business District, the zoning would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Staff
recommends approval. Only one public notice that was in the 200'notification area was returned and
it was in favor of the request,In approving a zone change,consideration must be given to what other
types of businesses could be allowed in that zoning, exterior construction, landscaping requirements,
1
etc. Chairman Peddicord opened the Public Hearing. Janice Neely and Roy Neely, 315 Callie Court,
Wylie, Texas and Lonnie Lennerduzi, 1202 Sheppard Lane, Wylie, Texas were present to speak for
the request. They feel this zone change would improve the area,the Neely's live in this area and want
to keep their business in Wylie. John Anderson, 300 Callie Court, Wylie, Texas;Henry Nelson, 350
Callie Court,Wylie,Texas;Marie Routen,340 Callie Court,Wylie, Texas; Sharon Dowdy, 325 Callie
Court,Wylie,Texas;Candy Piper,335 Callie Court,Wylie, Texas; and Mark Cook, 325 Callie Court,
Wylie,Texas are against the proposed change for the following reasons:would lower property values,
water drainage problems, possible toxins in the waste disposal, the other types of businesses that
would be permitted in B-2 zoning, more appropriate areas for this type of business instead of a
residential area,no city services--everyone is on septic tanks, industrial areas not good for family life
and currently every major thoroughfare into Wylie has some sort of Industrial--there is drive up appeal.
Mr. Mike Phillips, Director of Community Development reminded everyone that we are here for a
zone change request not the appropriateness of a business. Chairman Peddicord closed the Public
Hearing. Commission members discussed the lack of sewer and water, development standards would
cover the issues of drainage, sewer, screening,etc. (which is not relative to this request). A motion
was made by Rich Eckman, seconded by Steve Ahrens, to table the request due to the number of
commission members absent(3). Motion carried, all in favor(4).
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
No new business.
ADJOURNMENT
ADJOURN: A motion was made to adjourn by Steve Ahrens, seconded by Rich
Eckman. Motion carried, all in favor (4). Chairman Peddicord adjourned the meeting.
