PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
MEETING - MINUTES
7 : 00 P. M.
SEPTEMBER 3, 1987
The City of Wylie Planning and Zoning Commission met in
regular session on Thursday, September 3, 1987 in the
Community Room. A quorum was present and notice of the
meeting had been posted in the time and manner required by
law. Those present were Vice Chairman Ben Scholz, Bob
Skipwith, Bart Peddicord, Marty Stovall , Cecilia Wood, Code
Enforcement Officer Roy Faires , Karen Blythe, Secretary, and
Candi White, Secretary. Chairman Brian Chaney and Mr . R.P .
Miller were absent .
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF MINUTES: The minutes submitted for
approval were for the August 6 , 1987 meeting . Mr . Peddicord
explained that the typing errors in the minutes could
sometimes possibly reflect something different than what was
meant in the discussion . He went on to point out several
typing errors . Ms . Wood corrected her statement in regard
to the water supply at Beaver Creek, stating that the
minutes reflected that she asked Mr . Cook if he was aware
that some of the people in Beaver Creek were not satisfied
with their water supply, when she actually was just asking
Mr . Cook if he was aware if any of the people in Beaver
Creek were unsatisfied with their water supply. Mr .
Peddicord state that in one paragraph, Mr . Faires was
referring to Mr . Cook' s subdivision , but the minutes sounded
like Mr . Faires was referring to his own subdivision, rather
than Mr . Cook' s . A motion was made by Mr . Skipwith to
approve the minutes with the noted corrections . The motion
was seconded by Mr . Stovall . This motion carried with all
in favor .
CONSIDER RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL FOR THE REPLAT OF 1
ACRE OUT OF THE W. PENNEY SURVEY, ABSTRACT 696 (STEVE
ANDERHUB ADDITION) : Mr . Faires , Code Enforcement Officer ,
explained that this is a very simple subdivision, where a
grandfather has given one acre out of his 23 acres to his
grandson on which to build a house. Mr . Faires also
explained that there is water and sewer on the property,
along with a septic tank which is used by a mobile home park
on the property. Mr . Faires said the only question
remaining to be answered is the perimeter street fee, which
Mr . Anderhub has requested that the Planning & Zoning
Commission recommend to the Council be adjusted to be
applied to the entire tract. Mr . Faires also explained that
under the subdivision regulations , the subdivision is
required to pay perimeter street fees upon filing of the
plat . Due to the unusual circumstances , Mr . Anderhub feels
that the fee is extensive. Ms . Wood asked if Kinsington
Manor , the subdivision across the street from this property,
had to pay perimeter street fees . Mr . Faires replied that
they did not , as the City had not passed the perimeter
street ordinance when Kinsington Manor was developed. Mr .
Faires explained that every subdivision has to pay street
fees , even if it is located on a state highway. Mr .
Anderhub stated that the reason he objects to paying the
fees is because the property had just recently been forced
annexed and that he had already made plans to build on this
property prior to annexation. Mr . Anderhub explained that
according to the dictionary, a subdivision is the dividing
into small portions of land and usually for sale, and here
we just have a parcel of land divided out . Mr . Anderhub
also stated that there was no sale involved, but that his
grandfather had deeded this land to him, and the reason the
land changed names , was that he understood that this must be
done before the land could be submitted for a replat . He
also explained that the property would still be Ag use, and
there would be no Planned Development . Mr . Anderhub also
stated that Parker Rd . at one time was only a whiterock road
and when it was widened , straightened out , and resurfaced ,
that about 3 1/2 acres of this property was utilized to do
so . He feels that the road has been a benefit to the area
and the people of Wylie, and feels that the perimeter street
fees should be waived , since land has already been donated
for the existing road .
Ms . Wood asked when the property was deeded to Mr . Anderhub.
Mr . Anderhub said it was done just recently, after the
annexation , but that he was already planning to build , when
the land was annexed , and decided to hold off to see how the
annexation was going to go .
Ms . Wood also asked if Mr . Anderhub knew the right-of-way
width that was given from the property. Mr. Faires , Code
Enforcement Officer explained that according to the
submitted plat , there is a 100 foot right-of-way. Mr .
Faires also wanted to clarify that State Law defines a
subdivision as any piece of property which is divided into
two or more pieces , whether it is for sale or development .
Mr . Stovall asked how long Mr. Anderhub' s grandfather has
owned the property and again if 3 1/2 acres was cut off for
the existing road , and if so, was his grandfather paid for
the property. Mr . Anderhub stated that his grandfather has
owned the property for about 30 or 40 years and that 3 1/2
acres was used for the road , and that his grandfather was
not paid for the 3 1/2 acres , and that he did not ask for
any payment .
Mr. Peddicord asked that since the fee has been set in the
subdivision ordinance, if the Planning and Zoning Commission
recommended that the fee be waived , wouldn ' t the Commission
be setting a precedent for cases like this in the future.
Mr. Faires , Code Enforcement Officer , explained that this is
a very unique situation and that the Planning and Zoning
Commission would not be making the decision , but only a
recommendation to the Council , who has the option of waiving
the fee . Mr . Faires also stated that because this situation
is so unique, it is very unlikely that it would occur again
in the future .
Mr . Peddicord asked how the fee was figured . Mr . Faires
explained that according to the ordinance, it was figured
that one lane is 11 foot wide, x 220 x the length of the
lot .
All the Board members agreed that since Mr . Anderhub' s
family had donated part of the property for a road , had
given an easement for water and sewer years ago , and had
been forced annexed, that in order to do what is fair and
just , the recommendation should be made to waive the fee.
Mr . Stovall made a motion to approve the final plat and to
recommend that the Council waive the perimeter street fee .
Mr . Skipwith seconded the motion. The motion carried with
all in favor .
CONSIDER RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL FOR THE PRELIMINARY
PLAT OF 22 .0186 ACRES OUT OF THE D. W. WILLIAMS SURVEY,
ABSTRACT NO. 1021 COMMONLY KNOWN AS BIRMINGHAM FARM TRACT
16 : Mr . Faires , Code Enforcement Officer , explained that
this piece of property is zoned Duplex (2F) by a previous
board and council , and that this submittal does comply with
zoning regulations and that Staff could only recommend that
it be approved . Mr . Faires also stated, however, that he
would like to make it a matter of official record that the
developer has been informed that we, on staff , have found
duplex lots an unmarketable commodity. Therefore, the
developer is developing duplex lots as duplex lots and the
fact that he will have to put in extra water taps and extra
sewer taps because of the duplex configuration,and should
this prove a hardship in the future , will prove to be a self
imposed hardship.
Mr . Kindred , who was respresenting the owners of the
property, Mortgage Investments Co . , stated that this
subdivision in its entirety consists of 658 acres and the
existing City of Wylie, as far as the developed land is
approximately the same size as the Birmingham Farms tract .
Mr . Kindred also explained that when the Birmingham Farms
tract was zoned, it was not done so with the idea that the
entire subdivision would be developed immediately, but over
a long period of time. Mr . Kindred feels that Mr . Faires '
statement that the duplexes are an unmarketable commodity,
was a judgment call , and that the builder who was looking at
the duplex lots in the Birmingham Farms tract , builds a very
nice duplex and has been very successful .
Mr . Stovall asked what the reason was for duplexes instead
of single family homes . Mr . Kindred stated that the
Birmingham Farms is a master plan community, where they have
taken a large acreage and zoned it into categories that over
a period of time would make sense in terms of proportion.
Mr . Faires explained that the Board could not do anything
about the zoning , as it had already been zoned previously,
and that according to state law the Board had a duty to
recommend approval of the plat , but wanted to impress on the
developer that he is developing duplexes and that he should
have little hope of having anything other than duplexes or
85 foot SF3 lots .
Mr . Peddicord asked Mr . Kindred where the access would be to
the property. Mr . Kindred stated that it would be from
Allanis and will go through the SF3 zoned part of the
property. Mr . Kindred also explained that there would be an
entry with brick monuments . Mr . Kindred stated that there
would be a lake and a park and that the donation of the lake
and park to the City has always been contemplated and
recommended throughout the process. He explained again that
this is a master plan community and that the City is used to
seeing pieces of land being developed here. Mr. Kindred
stated that this is a for sale subdivision and doesn' t
comtemplate it as a rental subdivision, as this is a first
class master plan community which will take 5 to 8 years to
be complete and will not be one in which there will be a
duplex here and a duplex there.
Mr . Peddicord made a motion to recommend approval of the
preliminary plat . The motion was seconded by Mr . Skipwith.
The motion carried with all in favor .
ADJOURN: There being no other business , a motion was made
by Ms . Wood to adjourn . The motion was seconded by Mr .
Skipwith. The motion carried with all in favor .
