Fund-Land Fund Dallas, L.P., generally located at the southeast corner of SH 78 and Century
Way, and being part of Lot 1, Block A Century Business Park, City of Wylie, Collin County,

property with I (Industrial) uses. Staff has reviewed and it does comply with the Subdivision
Regulations and other pertinent ordinances of the City of Wylie except for original notarized
signatures. The applicant is aware and will submit a revised plat prior to going to City Council.
One other variance is Lot 4. The lot width is 170.96 feet and the minimum width allowed is 175
feet. The property to the south, Lot 1, did not want to be part of this plat. On Lot 3, 4, and 1,

have there own driveways. This does meet minimum driveway separation of 200 feet. Staff is

of a certain 10.799 acre tract and all of a certain .574 acre tract out of the Charles Atterbury
Survey, Abstract No. 22, City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas.
• Tobin Maples Update:
Staff has reviewed the plat and found it to comply with the Subdivision Regulations and other
pertinent ordinance of the City of Wylie except for the zoning district labels and proposed street
names. The subject property and the property to the west and north need zoning district labels
added. The applicant has proposed McClain Road as the new road on the east side of the
property,but due to a conflict of interest we recommend the name is changed. These corrections
and changes will be routed to City Council. Staff is recommending approval.
• Discussion:
McClain Road will eventually go to the north and tie in to 1378.
The school is proposed to open for 1999 school year.
There will only be one street in and out of the school in the beginning.
The school will have two circular drives, one for student drop off and one for bus loading.

DISCUSSION
1. New Single Family Residential Development Standards.
• Tobin Maples Update:
The Residential Development Standards Survey is not complete,the City is waiting to hear from
a few other cities.
• James Brown with the Wylie Fire Department - Discussed problems with smaller lot sizes.
If the side lot lines had been 15 feet larger between the houses that burned on Piccadilly Circle
it could have prevented or could have been contained the second house fire. Problems with small
front yards is heat damaging the trucks,to prevent damage they have to stop short of the fire or
pull passed and then drag the hoses farther across yards. Cul-da-sacs cause a problem with
parking. The worse kind of cul-da-sac is one with a long street and a cul-da-sac at the end. Rear

yard setbacks are not a real issue, alleyways are not used by the large fire trucks. Some cities
require residential homes to have sprinkler systems and these are very effective. The fire
department is going from a key rate to an ISO rate. This rate affects your home insurance. Mr.
