ACTION ITEMS
1. Consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a Preliminary Plat for
Wyndham Meadows Addition, being all of a certain 12.45 acre tract of land,
generally located east of Eubanks Lane and north of Brown Street, and being part
of that tract of land described in a deed to Riverbend RV Park in Volume 4751,
Page 2469 of the Deed Records of Collin County, Texas (DRCCT) and part of
that tract of land described in a deed to Bobby C. Beilue as recorded in County
Clerk's File No. 92-0036204 of the DRCCT, and being situated in the Francisco
De La Pina Survey, Abstract No. 688, City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas.
Thompson stated that the subject property totals 12.45 acres in size and will create 52
single-family residential lots for attached housing and a rather large area for common use
to be maintained by the Homeowners Association. Although the property is zoned both
Multi-Family (MF) and Townhouse (TH), the entire tract will be developed to
Townhouse standards with a minimum of 3,500 square feet for exterior lots with side
yards and 3,000 square feet for interior lots without side lots.
Commissioners questioned the location of the power line easement. Thompson stated
staff and applicants had considered several changes, but the applicant had chosen the one
under consideration. The overhead power line easement crosses the middle of the
property, but can be platted and used for lots as long as no structures are built under the
lines. The majority of the easement will be developed as a common area with walking
trail and maintained by the Homeowner's Association.
Alan Adkins, 5949 Sherry Lane, Suite 1225, Dallas, Texas, a representative for the
developer, stated that the lots on the north and east side in Block A will be rear entry lots
to use the existing alley. The lots on the south in Block B will be front entry lots.
Commissioners discussed the proposed relocation of the alley on the east side off Brown
Street. Adkins stated that the intention is to move the alley further to the north because
the widening of Brown Street will close it and the new residential street will have a
dividing median, which the alley will be a conflict.
A motion was made by Commissioner Snider, and seconded by Commissioner Adamcik,
to recommend approval to City Council of the Preliminary Plat for Wyndham Meadows
Addition. Motion passed 6—0.

2. Consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a Final Plat for the
Wylie I.S.D. Transportation Center Addition, being all of a certain 10.009 acre
tract of land, generally located east of Country Club Road (F.M. 1378) and north
of West Brown Street (F.M. 3412), and being all of that tract of land described in
a deed to the Wylie Independent School District as recorded in County Clerk's
File No. 2001-027918, Deed Records of Collin County, Texas, and being situated
in the Charles Atterbury Survey, Abstract No. 22, City of Wylie, Collin County,
Texas.
Thompson stated that the Plat officially creates the single lot of 10.009 acres to
accommodate the new bus maintenance and storage facility of the Wylie Independent
School District. To expedite completion of the facility for use during this school session,
an early release for construction was granted with the approval of the Preliminary Plat.
The office/maintenance building is currently 9,700 square feet, and a bus washing
structure and parking for employees and buses was constructed. A future expansion of
10,000 square feet for the maintenance building is projected but not constructed at the
time of platting.
Commissioners had no questions for the applicant. A motion was made by
Commissioner Adamcik and seconded by Commissioner Chapman, to recommend
approval to the City Council. The motion passed 6—0.
Commissioner Porter adjourned the regular meeting to reconvene for a work session.
WORK SESSION
1. Discuss revisions to the Comprehensive Plan.
Thompson introduced the discussion by reviewing the philosophy of the Comprehensive
Plan and highlighting several points of conflict requiring review and revision. Staff and
the Commission will formulate revisions to the Plan and offer these to the Council for
adoption, rather than hire a consultant or convene a broader citizen's committee. The
final document will not be another booklet, but a multi-fold Plan/Map with text of
philosophy, goals and recommendation on the reverse side.
Land uses created by recent zoning changes which differ from the Plan recommendations
(Bozman Farms, Birmingham, Herzog, McCreary, Sage Creek) were sketched onto the
Plan. Not all of this existing zoning is valid, and some could be cited on the Plan for
transition to other uses. Commissioners offered the following suggestions during the
discussion:
a. Regency Park should remain retail or Business Center uses. It was noted that this
area, along with the retail recently rezoned by Herzog to the east, will be larger
than the new retail "Town Center" at 78 and 544, and should not be allowed to
grow larger and take business from the Town Center.

b. The unzoned area west of Regency should stay as planned — for medium- and
low-density residential —to follow the historic philosophy of radiating decreasing
residential densities out from retail centers and to protect the Town Center.
c. The area south and west of the Country Club/Brown intersection should remain
low-density residential, especially because of the floodplain open space corridor
to the west.
d. The Town Center at 544 and 78 should be extended to include the
Albertson's/Home Depot area. The Business Center at this area should be
expanded west to the High School/Founders Park.
e. The existing Village Center retail areas were evaluated, and several were
relocated to more major intersections. The retail at 544 South and Vinson was
moved to the existing zoned retail on Vinson at Pheasant Creek. The single retail
center north of the North Texas plant was divided into two, with one at Paul
Wilson and the new Park Boulevard and the second at Eubanks and Park.
f. There was discussion about the location of a new municipal complex. Several
sites were suggested as well as the desire to keep the complex at its current
location.
g. Thompson suggested the need to provide more areas for nonresidential uses in
order to generate sales taxes and relieve residential uses of providing the entire
tax burden.
Staff will clean up the sketch plan with tonight's recommendations and provide a clean
base with these recommendations for discussion at the next meeting. Commissioners
were asked to continue review of the previously furnished plan/maps and note any major
issue or concern, which they may want considered in future Commission reviews.
ADJOURNMENT
A motion was made by Commissioner Hughes, and seconded by Commissioner Snider,
to adjourn the meeting at 8:30 p.m. Motion passed 6—0.

RE: Comprehensive Plan Map

Comprehensive Plan.
Also the number one item for the work session is a "Training" Video,
which will be very enjoyable.
