CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
Kevin Higgs, 1306 Sheppard Drive, Wylie, Texas 75098 voiced his concerns
about the concrete batch plant that is proposed to go in near his residence. It is
to close to a residential neighborhood. The emissions coming from a batch plant
would not be good for the people in that area.
Berry Patrick, business address 617 East Walnut Circle, Garland, Texas,
has been trying to get his business moved here to Wylie. There has been a great
lack of communication between him and the Planning Department. He started
this process in April for rezoning from Agriculture to Industry on Sanden Rod. He
was told he would probably have to have it zoned Planned Development and he
refilled his application. The application states that a sign is to be posted notifying
that a zoning request has been made. It also states that people were supposed
to be notified. This is the tenth month and his project has not come up on the
Planning and Zoning agenda. No one has called him or notified him of anything.
He recently found out that his application has been put on hold until he can
submit drawings. His business is a precision sheet metal fabrication shop. Mr.
Patrick has gone to City Council and asked for their support on this. He now is
asking for the commission's support. He originally spoke with Sam Satterwhite of
Economic Development and within days of speaking with him Mr. Patrick signed
a contract on the property. This property is largely in a flood zone. Mr. Patrick
feels he is being denied due process, because his project is being held up.
Claude Thompson, Planner, City of Wylie, reported having several
conversations with Mr. Patrick. This project is being reviewed Thursday, October
5, 2000 at the Development Issues Review Team. The site plan required is
designed to address the special concerns of the property as well as some Mr.
Patrick has. Once these have been reviewed it will be put on the Planning and
Zoning agenda. We are prepared to mail out notification after the October 5th
meeting.
CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS

PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS
1. Hold a Public Hearing and consider a recommendation to the City Council
regarding a Replat for the Hooper Business Park Addition, 2nd Revision,
proposed by Jackson and Associates Land Surveyors, Inc., for the
property located at 103 Security Court and Hooper Road, and being all of
Lots 1 R, 5 and 6 of Block A of the Hooper Business Park, City of Wylie,
Collin county, Texas.
Claude Thompson, City Planner, reported that this Replat will combine lots 1 R,
5 and 6 of Block A. The owner proposes to combine these lots to expand the
existing business. Lot 1 R block A is developed for the current multi-structure use
for Aluma Graphics. Lots 5 and 6 are currently undeveloped. Staff has reviewed
the proposed Replat and finds it is in compliance with all requirements and
recommends approval.
Representative for the applicant, Don Jackson, 2600 West FM 544, Wylie,
Texas, said that the purpose for Replat is to combine lots so he can add to the
existing buildings.
Commissioner Snider asked if the building would eventually be a U shape?
Mr. Jackson states the existing building on lot 1 R will be expanding and has the
same existing use. The building on lot 5 will also be expanding. The use for this
building will be for storage of antique cars belonging to the owner.
A motion to approve was made by Steve Ahrens it was seconded by Phillip
Tramell. A vote was taken and passed 5-0.
2. Hold a Public Hearing and consider a recommendation to the city council
regarding a Final Plat for the Williams Addition, proposed by Jackson and
Associates Land Surveyors, Inc., for the property generally located north
of FM 544, east of McCreary road, and being all of certain 4.085 acre tract
situated in the Moses Sparks Survey, Abstract No. 849, City of Wylie,
Collin county, Texas.
Claude Thompson, City Planner, reported that the purpose of this Final Plat is
to prepare a site for a new business. The property is zoned for B-2 business.
Representative for the applicant, Don Jackson, 2600 West FM 544, Wylie,
Texas, stated that the purpose of the Final Plat is to create two lots. There is a
buyer for one of the lots and a prospective buyer for the other lot. One buyer is
the automotive sales establishment next to the property.

3. Hold a Public Hearing and consider a recommendation to the City Council
regarding a Final Plat for the Tramell Addition, proposed by Jackson and

acre tract situated in the Francisco De La Pina Survey, Abstract No. 68.8,
City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas.
Claude Thompson, City Planner, reported that the purpose of this Final Plat is
to create a two-acre lot to develop a single-family residence. The Final Plat
complies with all Development and Subdivision Regulations, with exception of
the wastewater regulations. The Planning and Zoning Commission earlier
approved a temporary wavier of this section of the Subdivision Regulations. The
property owner will be connecting to the City sewer line once it is brought
enough.
A motion was made by Steve Ahrens to approve a second was made by Tony
Snider. A vote was taken and passed 5-0.
Meeting was adjourned to the Work Session Room.
WORKSESSION
Ray Stanland and Janet Thorp, consultants for the revision of the Zoning
Ordinance, led a discussion of proposed revisions to the nonresidential districts.
Discussion as to what level of public notification would be required concluded
that several means of inviting citizen participation would be used (such as
workshops, talks to civic groups and displays at the library and City Hall), but that
a mailed notice to all property owners within the city was likely required and
certainly feasible.
A list of proposed Definitions was distributed to assist in review of the proposed
Land Use Tables which was distributed and introduced at the previous meeting.
It was explained that the list defines a limited number of uses in their broadest
possible terms in order to reduce duplication of basic use functions. For
example: several similar operations or facilities are grouped under the single
broader term such as "Vehicle Sales" (including both new and used) and
"Commercial Amusement or Recreation" (rodeo and golf as outdoor and bingo
and dance as indoor) rather than list numerous potential specific operations.
More detailed uses are listed only when there is a significant difference in the
impact of their operation (such as Animal Boarding and Animal Clinic/Hospital) or
when the use is commonly considered potentially obnoxious (such as Sexually
oriented Business). Each listed use was discussed and several additional uses
considered.
The Table of Development Standards was generally endorsed, but will be
reconsidered in greater detail when complete descriptions for the nonresidential
districts are considered. Due to schedule conflicts and a heavy P&Z agenda, the
revisions will not be considered at the October 17 meeting. Amended Land Use
Tables and definitions, as well as recommend new Development Standards for
each nonresidential use will be distributed for consideration at the November 7
meeting.
The work session was adjourned at 9:27 p.m.
