Motion was made by Commissioner Ahrens, seconded by Commissioner Phillips, to approve the Minutes as submitted. Motion passed 5-0. P & Z Meeting July 3,2001 Page 2 ACTION ITEMS 1. Consider and act upon approval of a Site Plan for the CVS Pharmacy, being a 2.4 acre tract in the southwest corner of West Kirby Street (F.M. 544) and State Highway 78, situated in the E.C. Davidson Survey, Abstract No. 267, City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas. (Tabled from the June 19,2001 Meeting) Thompson stated that on June 19, 2001 the Commission looked at the Preliminary Plat and Site Plan, and because of the absence of the applicant and the lack of opportunity to ask questions that might relate to the Site Plan; a decision on the Plan was tabled. However, Plats must be acted upon within thirty days or they are automatically approved, and the Commission recommended denial of the Plat. The City Council approved the Preliminary Plat on June 26, 2001. CVS would create a single freestanding retail building of 11,970 square feet. The property is zoned Industrial and the anticipated pharmacy use is currently allowed in that Industrial district. The corner of FM 544 and Hwy 78 is being dedicated for an improved turning lane. The remainder of the site is roughly 2.57 acres. Staff has reviewed the Site Plan and found that it conforms to all technical requirements of the local Codes and complies with the approved Preliminary Plat, and recommends approval. Mr. Michael Alturk, Carter & Burgess, 3024 Franciscan Drive, Suite 1225, Arlington, Texas, represented the Site Plan. Commissioner Snider asked if speed bumps could be added in the parking lot to avoid drivers cutting through from FM 544 to Hwy 78 in order to avoid the signal light. Thompson responded that, while it is likely there would be drivers doing the cut through, the City discourages speed bumps. Mr. Alturk stated that a sign prohibiting drivers cutting through the parking lot would be put up, and the drive also serves the drive-through window and this heavy internal circulation would discourage through traffic. Commissioner Ahrens questioned the use of EIFS rather than stucco on the east side of the building. Thompson responded that stucco is not an approved product and EIFS is similar to stucco but is thicker, and is approved by the new Building Code. Mr. Snider responded that problems with EIFS are normally with the installation rather than the product and that he could support its use. The triangle to the southwest was noted on the Site Plan as unused. The Highway Department is taking part of the area. Mr. Alturk stated it would be landscaped with turf and possibly trees, but the area is too small for another building lot. Motion was made by Commissioner Snider to approve the Site Plan, seconded by Commissioner Chapman. There was some additional questions regarding the sidewalk, and the motion was withdrawn. P & Z Meeting July 3, 2001 Page 3 Commissioner Ahrens questioned the reason for the sidewalks. Mr. Alturk stated the reason why the sidewalk is shown on the Site Plan is to accommodate pedestrian crossings at the intersection of Highway 78 and F.M. 544. Thompson stated local code did not require the sidewalks but Staff had no concern about adding sidewalks if the applicant wanted them. Motion was made by Commissioner Snider, seconded by Commissioner Chapman to approve the Site Plan as submitted. Motion passed 5-0. 2. Consider and act upon approval of a Site Plan for MJD & JHM Enterprises, being a 2.0 acre tract located at 2002 West Kirby Street (F.M. 544), situated in the E.C. Davidson Survey, Abstract No. 267, City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas, being a tract conveyed to MJD & JHM Enterprises, LLC from Herbert and Amanda Dowlearn by deed recorded in Volume 4873, Page 1465 of the Deed Records of Collin County, Texas. Thompson reviewed the intent of the Site Plan and the history of the subject property. He stated that the applicant intends to renovate and use the existing house for office use and the barn to the rear for storage of equipment, which will be used in the business. It is the applicant's intent that the site maintains the appearance of a rural homestead. Staff has reviewed the proposed Site Plan and found it to be in compliance with requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and other pertinent ordinances of the City of Wylie and recommends approval. Commissioner Ahrens expressed concern for the asphalt drive and parking and asked if concrete could be required. Thompson responded that the Code currently allows either. Mr. John Mcllvain, 4557 Bentley Drive, Plano, Texas, represented the Site Plan. He stated the asphalt would support 80,000 pounds to provide for fire trucks as the Code allows, but both asphalt and concrete were being priced. Commissioner Snider responded that asphalt of that specified will be as expensive as concrete. Motion was made by Commissioner Phillips, seconded by Commissioner Snider to approve the Site Plan. Motion passed 4-1 with Commissioner Ahrens voting no. 3. Consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a Preliminary Plat/Development Plan for the Country Ridge Estates Addition (Planned Development District 2001-24), generally located west of Country Club Road (FM 1378) and north of McMillen Road (CR 298), being a 99.7418 acre tract described in the deed to Fredrick Veninga, Trustee according to the deed recorded in Volume 883, Page 628 of the Deed Records of Collin County, and being situated in the William Patterson Survey, Abstract No. 716, City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas.

Hold a public hearing and consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a change in zoning from Agriculture (A) District to Planned Development(PD) District for Single-Family Residential Uses, for a 66.857 acre tract generally located in the southwest corner of Brown Street (C.R. 433) and Kreymer Lane (C.R. 432), situated in the Francisco de la Pina Survey, Abstract No. 688, City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas, being part of a called 77.14 acre tract, titled Second Tract as described in a deed from Orville Kreymer to John Willis Kreymer as recorded in O1 Oume 1373, Page 75 of the Deed Records of Collin County, Texas. (Zoning Case Thompson reviewed the history of the subject property, noting that the purpose of the request is to develop a single-family residential subdiv s and these changes are now resolved and There have been several issues with the development, which Staff has recommended bechanged Staff recommends approval of the Planned Development District as submitted. Pat Atkins, KPA Consulting, 14800 Quorum Drive, Dallas, Texas, represented the Kreymer Family and Gehan Homes requesting the change. Mr. Atkins reviewed the proposed conditions and Concept Plan. There will be three different lot sizes and all lots average 10, 397 square feet. Commissioner Ahrens pointed out that lots 11 and 12 of block C face the side street and need to face the long street to get alley entrance. Mr. Atkins stated that this was an oversight and will be corrected before Council consideration. There was an issue on the southwest corner of the development in a cul-de-sac area with an alley cutting through the block. Mr. Atkins stated this was for circulation of the traffic and allow as many alley-accessed lots as possible. He mentioned that alleys create traffic problems also. P &Z Meeting July 3, 2001 Page 5 There was discussion of why there are no alleys on Block G. Mr. Atkins stated the adjacent property is not part of the City of Wylie and the applicant cannot anticipate its use. Thompson stated no alleys are required backing up to a park or thoroughfare or development where the City of Wylie has no control. Also, a point was made that two streets in that area have no turnarounds, which Mr. Atkins stated that these would be temporarily barricaded until extended beyond the subject site. Mr. Brian G. Belgard, 112 S. Bending Oak Lane, Wylie, Texas, is a homeowner on the southwest, backing to the development. He had several issues concerning the drainage and views at the back of his property. Thompson stated that this was a zoning change with a Concept Plan and such concerns will be addressed at Plat review. Mr. Atkins stated preliminary engineering analysis is still in the process of being completed and will be submitted with the Plat. There will be no cross-lot drainage, and should not have any effect on Mr. Belgard's property. Mr. Thompson stated that state laws require that new development provide drainage detention so not to increase flow on to adjacent properties. Mr. Belgard stated further he paid a premium for his lot because of the trees, which would be lost if a development was built behind his lot. The builder and the City assured him that there would be no trees lost in the future. Commissioner Snider stated that these issues are beyond the scope of the Commission. Thompson stated that the applicant has been talking with the City for a very long time and the City has known about the desire to develop in that area and certainly would not have misled Mr. Belgard to believe that there was no development coming in the future. Motion was made by Commissioner Ahrens, seconded by Commissioner Chapman to approve the PD with lots 11 and 12 of Block C changed into one lot. Motion passed 5-0. ADJOURNMENT Motion to adjourn was made by Commissioner Ahrens, seconded by Commissioner Chapman. Motion p sed 5-0, and the meeting was adjourned at 8:24 p.m. C er rter, ice- hairman M.

Consider and act upon approval of a Site Plan for Millenium Motorsports,being a 2.03 acre tract located at 1315 Century Way, being all of existing Lots 3 and 4 of Block C of the Century Business Park Addition, City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas, and being a tract described in the D. Wood, Jr.Collin County, Texasa under Clerk's File No. 01-0052708 of the Deed Records of Thompson stated that the intention of the applicant is to combine Lots 3 and 4 into one Lot, on which to construct a 24,158 square feet building to be used for a specialty automotive restoration business. The Site Plan illustrates that the building will be somewhat centered between two major drives. Staff did have some concerns about the drive on the south being too close to the existing drive on the neighboring property, but understands that the proposed circulation pattern will allow large trucks to come in from the south and circulate through the building. There is also a significant grade change at the property line and street, which is too steep for an entry drive. The fire lane enters at these drives but goes to the east of the building in order not to conflict with truck circulation. The circulation pattern allows auto-haulers oor on the north, the straight outhrough the drive.he overhead door on the south and out the overhead Staff recommends a variance from the Code on the distance between the two major drives and believes that the proposal meets all appropriatethese Replat to technical ts and recommends approval. Thompson stated further properties will be considered in tonight's agenda also, and a utility and access easement will be platted on those lots by that action. Mr. Henry Luman, 5105 Greensboro, Sachse, Texas, president of Concrete Walls, represented David Wood the owner of the property. Commissioners expressed some concerns regarding the screening used on the east side of the property. The Zoning Ordinance requires a 20-foot setback and six-foot masonry or wood fence be constructed on an industrial property line when it is adjacent to a residential district such as on the southeast. Mr. Luman requested for live screening be allowed along the residential area instead of a wall in order not to damage the existing trees. Commissioner Phillips recommended that the Zoning Board of Adjustment consider the variance of screen type. Thompson stated that the Ordinance is somewhat limited to what can be considered by the Zoning Board of Adjustment, concluding that the Commission can approve a waiver of the variance of screen materials as a stipulation of Site Plan approval.
