ACTION ITEMS
1. Make a recommendation to the City Council regarding a Final Plat for the Lakeside Estates Phase
I addition, proposed by Carter and Burgess, Inc. for Vista Oaks Development, generally located
along the north side of the railroad at the northwest corner of FM 544 and Springwell Parkway
(Marshall Lane), and being all of a certain 39.529 acre tract out of the Moses Sparks Survey,
Abstract No. 849, City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas.
Mindy Manson Update:
This plat was seen by P&Z at the September 21, 1998 meeting and tabled to tonight's meeting.
The Concept Plan and Zoning has been approved. The discussion at the previous meeting was
about a 50 foot section at the south end adjacent to railway. There was to be a berm and
drainage ditch. Greg MacLean the City Engineer does believe both the berm and ditch can be
accommodated within this 50 foot section. Staff is recommending this item to be tabled.
Discussion with applicant:
Brad Meyer, Carter and Burgess.
• Another engineering firm originally platted this property and it was just discovered that this
property would have to have a drainage added in that area.
• Carter and Burgess are proposing a four to one ditch for a varied height berm. The ditch is
running 5 feet deep, 40 feet long with 10 feet left over. The ditch is "V" bottom, and earthen.
• Commission have concerns with the ditch being open to the park. This is a safety hazard for
children.
• Brad Meyer said they could look at putting a fence along the railway. Wood fencing along the
railroad track and open style fencing between ditch and park
• Brad Meyer said it would be to costly to build a culvert ditch covered with a berm.
• The water runoff is 90 CSF.
• The ditch will be maintained by the Home Owner's Association(HOA).
• The deed restrictions state that if the HOA should fail the City will have the authority to
receive the fees and maintain the area.
• Suggestion from Commission is to give the ditch a pond effect by adding Gabian Rock and a
wrought iron fence between the park and the ditch/landscaped area.
• Fences would be maintained by HOA.
Motion: A motion was made by Eric Hogue, Seconded by Sharon Dowdy to table indefinitely.
Motion Carried - all in favor (7).
