Staff: A Site Plan was submitted previously for this location. On the Site Plan submitted at this time Applicant has reduced the size of the office building and is now coming to the Commission for approval of the now proposed one story office building. This Site Plan has been reviewed by the Development Team and is found to be in compliance with regulations. Representative for applicant: Harry Luman, 5105 Greensbrough, Sachse, Texas This will be a multi-tenant building. Mr. and Mrs. Jorgensen solely own the building. Owners do not have a time frame on phase two of the project. Owners intend to come back to the Commission as soon as the first building is leased. The colors of the stone on lower water line of building at this time will probably be brown stone. The stucco on top will possibly be cream white. The back of the building -cast in place wall-will be painted to match the structure. Until phase two is completed the lower stone will wrap the entire building. The sidewalk will be between the property line and the curb line. Complete site landscaping will be placed during the first phase. The Monument sign will be made of stone, but will not be constructed until the building is completed. And will be compatible with the building. There is no plan to screen the residential side of the site. Paving of site will come up to meet the alley. After lengthy discussion it was decided the Dumpster would be placed parallel to the alley in southwest corner of paving and the alley and will have a six-foot screening wall to match the main building structure.

Discuss and Consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a Final Plat for the McCreary Estates Addition, generally located at the northeast corner of McCreary Road and FM 544, just north of the DART Railroad tracts, and being all of a certain 53.0649 acre tract situated in the Moses Sparks Survey, Abstract No. 849, City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas. Staff: The request is a Final Plat of McCreary Estates. Planning and Zoning Commission previously approved this as Planned Development Zoning District. There will be 177 total Single Family Homes. The Homeowner Association will maintain a community center with a pool and landscaping along McCreary and the railroad tracks. Staff has reviewed the plat and has found it to be in compliance with Subdivision Regulations, Conceptual Plan and Preliminary Plat. There were three lots identified during the review that need to be slightly modified so the front property line meets the minimum 60 foot width the Developer is aware of this. The Development Team has reviewed this. Staff and the Team recommend approval. Applicant, Gary Defrain, 8235 Douglas Avenue, Dallas, Texas. Final Plat for 177 lots is Phase I of an II Phase 310-lot development of McCreary Estates. The entire site will be excavated. In order to balance the site, Phase II will need to be excavated along with Phase I. This excavation will be generating about 20,000 Cu. Yd. of material that will be used for the berm along the railroad tracks and on McCreary Road. Lots 11, 12, and 13 will be adjusted to meet the 60-foot minimum lot width. Thurman has been hired to do the excavating and paving. Moss a local company will be doing the utilities. This project will be staged from Springwell Parkway due to activity generated by Lumbermans Development Construction on Murphy side of McCreary Road. Staff has spoken with the City of Murphy concerning the construction and traffic on McCreary Road (the two lanes poured by City of Wylie). Sherry Sefko consultant for the City of Wylie and the City of Murphy has spoken with the McCreary Estates developer, the Murphy developer and the Mayor of Murphy. One thing Staff is trying to get into place is having the Highway Department when coming through on FM 544 pour the full width of McCreary Road rather than just the two lanes that are there now. There has been discussion as to who will be paving what parts. It will be either a part of the development process or the City of Murphy. The City of Wylie is working with them. Murphy will maintain the traffic on the two existing lanes while they are laying two lanes on their side of McCreary Road. While they are building the development project on 3 Murphy side of McCreary Road the ultimate four-lane cross section will be completed up to McMillan Road in Murphy. Murphy's plans stop at the railroad tracks. Motion to approve with Staff recommendations made by Steve Ahrens seconded by Carter Porter. A vote was taken and approved 7-0. 3. Discuss and Consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a Preliminary Plat for the Cascades Addition, generally located north of the Newport Harbor subdivision at the northeast corner of FM 1378 and Schooner Bay Drive, and being all of a certain 52 acre tract situated in the James McUlmurry Survey, Abstract No. 629, City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas. Staff: the next two items are related. The first is the Preliminary Plat for the Cascades in its entirety and the Final Plat for Phase I of the Cascades. This is in compliance with the Conceptual Plan as presented to the Planing and Zoning Commission with one issue. The provision was, more than one point of access to the subdivision. The Developer did accommodate that issue with a proposed street that would run between block A and the vacant Multi-Family area to the north. After further review from the Staff and reviewing the approved plat for the development on the West Side of FM 1378 the alignment of the two proposed roads is such that it would be cause a traffic hazard, because they are offset there is no way for efficient traffic movement. The Staff has talked with the Developer to see if there is some other alternative so as not to cause future problems. Subsequent to the approval of the Planned Development District, the Developer has acquired the property just east of this subdivision, which falls within the St. Paul jurisdiction and has access to Drain Drive. What the Developer has done at Staffs' request and what Staff will be recommending approval on is as seen on the Preliminary Plat. There is a street out to the east known as Little Bay Drive, which will give alternate access. The plat shows the temporary emergency access easement still in place so there will be an alternate access in place until the street Little Bay Drive on the east side is completed during Phase II. There are a few lots on Raintree that are not at 90 degrees with the street per Subdivision Regulation. Staff recommends they be approved as they are. Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plat.
