DISCUSSION ITEMS
1. Development Standards for Sidewalks(Time of Installation).
Mike Phillips, City Building Official presented a survey of 15 surrounding cities. All cities surveyed
with the exception of Mansfield and Parker, allow the construction of sidewalks to coincide with
the construction of the house in residential subdivisions(same as Wylie).
Commission directed Tobin Maples to research different methods to escrow money from the
developer and/or to require sidewalks be built at a certain build out percentage and time frame.
2. Development Standards for Sidewalks within Industrial Parks (Necessity).
Sam Satterwhite, Wylie Economics Development Corporation discussed the results of a survey of
surrounding cities. He did give the commission a corrected survey, the survey showed corrections
on Frisco, Sachse,and Rowlett. Mrs. Schmader pointed out Carrollton needed to be corrected,
they require the builder to install the sidewalks and have an escrow fund. (She spoke with Rod.)
Mr. Satterwhite is of the opinion that pedestrian traffic should not be encouraged within industrial
areas.
Mr. Maples assured the Subdivision Regulations will be amended based on the Planning and Zoning
and City Council's direction. The City could not make existing industrial areas put in sidewalks,
the City would be required to install them, should sidewalks become required.
