ACTION ITEMS
1. Discuss and consider approval of the Minutes from the January 5, 1998 Regular Business
Meeting. Motion made by Ray Capley to accept the Minutes as presented, seconded by Mark
Clark. Motion carried, all in favor(4).
2. Discuss and Consider a recommendation to the City Council for approval of a Preliminary
Plat/Development Plan for Phase I of Lakeside Estates proposed by Tipton Engineering for
Paramount Development. Mike Phillips, Building Official, addressed the changes from the
original concept plan. The City has been assured that the swimming pool will be part of the
Homeowner Association Maintenance(HOA)and the two soccer fields will be a part of the park
dedicated to the City of Wylie. The dedication will be reviewed by the Park Board. Front entry
drives not allowed on collector streets(unless you have 100 ft.wide lots), an alley has been added
to Springwell Parkway. The Plat has been reviewed by City Staff and recommends it for approval
subject to Note 1 being revised accordingly. Motion was made by Steve Ahrens, seconded by
Mark Clark, to recommend to City Council approval of the Preliminary Plat/Development Plan
for Phase I of Lakeside Estates with the stipulation that Note 1 be revised per Staff comments.
Motion carried, all in favor(5).
3. Discuss and Consider a recommendation to the City Council for approval of a Preliminary
Plat/Development Plan for Phase II of Lakeside Estates proposed by Tipton Engineering for
Paramount Development. Mr. Phillips addressed the changes on Phase II. The City felt there
might be some shortcutting through some of the streets and a problem with some lots facing a
collector street, so some streets were reconfigured and some changes were made to the park area.
Staff recommends the Preliminary Plat for approval subject to Note 1 being revised accordingly.
Discussion ensued regarding some of the property being in the 100 year flood plain, which will
dealt with by engineering before it is approved for Final Plat. Mark Clark asked for a list of the
principals of Paramount Development to be provided. Pat Atkins of Tipton Engineering indicated
that he would comply with Mr. Clark's request. Motion was made by Eric Hogue, seconded by
Steve Ahrens,to recommend to City Council approval of the Preliminary Plat/Development Plan
for Phase II of Lakeside Estates with the stipulation that Note 1 be revised per Staff comments.
Motion carried, all in favor(5).
4. Discuss and Consider a recommendation for approval of a Preliminary Plat submitted by D.R.
Horton for a 114.78 acre, 359 lot residential development designated as Twin Lakes Phase II
located north of the Twin Lakes Phase I subdivision, east of S. Ballard Avenue. Mr. Phillips
reviewed the Preliminary Plat for Twin Lakes Phase II for 359 lots, consisting of SF-1, SF-2 and
1
SF-3 zoning. A Final Plat was submitted in 1988 to be developed in the same way with a minor
deviation in lots counts. Land Study was omitted because it had been previously approved. The
developer has chosen to use a living landscape for the required screening. Staff recommends
approval of the Preliminary Plat. Alanis Drive will eventually be a major thoroughfare (four lane
divided)and the developer will match the existing right-of-way. Discussion followed regarding
screening requirements and perhaps that a revision of the requirements is needed. Right-of-way
maintenance would be performed by the City and not the developer. Motion was made by Ray
Capley, seconded by Eric Hogue,to recommend to City Council approval of the Preliminary Plat
for Twin Lakes Phase II subdivision. Motion carried, all in favor(5).
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
None. Rich Eckman addressed creating a Thoroughfare Screening Plan/Ordinance, perhaps through a
joint workshop with Parks Dpt. and City Council.
ADJOURNMENT
A motion was made to adjourn by Steve Ahrens, seconded by Ray Capley. Motion carried, all in favor
(5).
Respectfully submitted,
Richard Eckman, Chairman Rebecca Rogers, Secretar9
