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.
