ACTION ITEM
1. Consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a Final Plat for the Kirby
78 Addition, being all of a certain 2.4717 acre tract of land, being a portion of the
property conveyed to Greenway-78, L.P. by deed recorded in Volume 4886 at Page
4459 off the Deed Records of Collin County, Texas, and being the property conveyed
to Greenway-78, L.P. by deed recorded as Document No. 2001-0102217 of the Deed
Records of Collin County, Texas, being situated in the E.C. Davidson Survey,
Abstract No. 267, City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas.
Thompson stated that this Plat will create a single lot for the CVS Pharmacy, and
incorporates the recently abandoned railroad. It also accommodates the future
improvement of the F.M. 544 and Highway 78 intersection. The zoning of the property is
currently Industrial and the anticipated pharmacy is allowed in this zone. When the
revised Zoning Ordinance and map are complete, this will be zoned Retail and more
closely accommodate the current use.
Commissioner George asked if the only change between the Preliminary Plat and this
Plat is the dedication of the corner clip at F.M. 544 and Highway 78. Thompson stated
that was correct. The corner clip was initially to be convened to the owner and then
dedicated by the owner for intersection improvement, but the ownership was maintained
by the railroad to be conveyed by other means directly to the State.
Commissioner Porter asked about the timing for construction. Mr. Mike Alturk, of Carter
and Burgess, 302A Franciscan Drive, #1225, Arlington, Texas, stated that as soon as
building permits can be obtained they will start work and it should then take about five to
six months to complete.
Motion was made by Commissioner Ahrens, seconded by Commissioner Porter to
approve the Plat as submitted. Motion passed 7—0.
WORK SESSION
1. Discuss potential revision to the Subdivision Regulations and platting process.
Thompson submitted a copy of the Public Notice for advertising public hearings on the
revisions to the Zoning Ordinance, which will be sent to all property owners within
Wylie as well as placed in the Wylie News. The P & Z Commission will hold its Public
Hearing on October 16, 2001 and the City Council on November 13, 2001. Copies of the
Zoning Ordinance and the map will be available at the library and Planning Department
for homeowners to review before the Public Hearings. Thompson stated that
recommended changes to the zoning map will result in the least impact on the value of
homeowners' property.

Thompson also reviewed proposed revisions to the Subdivision Regulations, which will
now be substantially procedural, putting the design details in the engineering manual.
Concept plans will be required for all rezoning and the initial land study will be approved
at the time of the zoning change, making platting more of a straight forward technical
compliance process as envisioned by State Law than a flexible negotiation process like
zoning. Copies of the revised Subdivision Regulations will be provided for review at the
next P & Z Commission meeting and the Commission and Council can hold Public
Hearings on these before the end of this year.
ADJOURNMENT
Motion was made by Commissioner Wiseman, seconded by Commissioner Ahrens to
adjourn at 7:26 p.m. Motion passed 7—0.
