Motion was made by Commissioner Porter, seconded by Commissioner Ahrens, to approve the minutes as submitted. Motion passed 4—0. P&Z Commission Meeting April 16, 2002 Page 2 of 5 PUBLIC HEARING 1. Hold a public hearing and consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a change in zoning from Agriculture (A) to Agriculture (A) with a Special Use Permit (SUP) for Governmental Installation, being a 10.009 acre tract of land located east of Country Club Road (F.M. 1378) and north of West Brown Street (F.M. 3412), and being situated in the Charles Atterbury Survey, Abstract No. 22, City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas, and being all of a tract conveyed to the Wylie Independent School District as recorded in County Clerk's File No. 2001-027918, Deed Records of Collin County, Texas. (Zoning Case 2002-02) Thompson stated that the applicant is requesting a Special Use Permit (SUP) for the subject property in order to allow a Governmental Installation (Wylie I.S.D. Transportation Center) to be developed within an Agricultural (A) District. The subject property totals approximately 10 acres in size, and was previously occupied by a concrete batch plant. The Transportation Center structures and parking will occupy approximately the western half of the site. The remaining eastern portion of the site, currently occupied by unstable fill materials and the floodplain, will remain undeveloped. The applicant proposes initially to construct an office/maintenance shop building of 9,700 square feet, as well as a bus washing structure and parking for employees and buses. A future expansion of 10,000 square feet is planned to the maintenance building. Screening will be provided on the west side and north side of the property. The Zoning Ordinance permits public schools within all districts, but allocates other public uses to those districts where they will be most compatible with similar private uses. Due to the character and impacts of the Transportation Center, it is defined as other governmental installations, and is allowed within the Agricultural District with a Special Use Permit(SUP). Thompson stated that on February 25, the Zoning Board of Adjustment approved a variance of the required masonry exterior wall materials to allow metal to be used on the eastern end wall and above the garage door openings on the north and south sides. The masonry consideration could have been made a condition of the SUP, but the initial plan was submitted prior to the adoption of the new revisions to the Zoning Ordinance. Under the previous Zoning Ordinance requirements, the facility was allowed by right within the Agriculture district and no zoning action was to be considered. The Commissioners expressed concern about the reduced masonry and requested to review the elevations approved by the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Commissioner George adjourned the meeting at 7:20 p.m. for staff to pull the Zoning Board of Adjustment file. The meeting was reconvened at 7:25 p.m. P&Z Commission Meeting April 16, 2002 Page 3 of 5 Commissioner Ahrens expressed his disapproval of the Wylie Independent School District requesting variance of the masonry requirements on the subject property. He said that public facilities should set the example for compliance of code requirements. Mr. Ronny Klingbeil, RLK Engineering, 111 W. Main Street, Allen, Texas, represented the applicant and engineer for the subject property. Mr. Klingbeil stated that there were four monitoring wells on the site, however,the results of those wells was unknown at this time. The Commissioners expressed concern of the amount of buses pulling out onto Country Club Road very early in the morning, however it is not known the amount of buses or the time the buses would be departing the property. Commissioners were also concerned that the facility not be allowed to be used by private trucking operations with longer daily schedules if the Wylie Independent School District bus use was moved to another location in the future. Commissioner George expressed his disapproval of the size of the Site Plan (would like to have the 24 by 36 copy) and also that a government agency would put this type of facility in a very dangerous location with very large vehicles coming onto Country Club Road (F.M. 1378). Commissioners expressed concern for children's safety when buses enter and leave the heavy traffic of F.M. 1378, and asked if other locations had been considered. Commissioner George also stated that there was no plans or knowledge of when Country Club Road would be expanded by the State or County. Commissioners asked if the setback shown on the plans was sufficient to accommodate widening of F.M. 1378, and Thompson reported that the City Engineer had approved the additional right- of-way based on preliminary road plans. Thompson stated that one of the entryways would probably be north bound only. He also pointed out other schools in the Wylie Independent School District, indicating the central location of the proposed property which will reduce operation mileage of the buses and stated that no children will be on the buses as the enter and leave this storage site. Commission Ahrens stated that he believes that the site is contaminated and questioned the location of school buses on the site. Commissioners requested staff to supply records of the monitoring wells, but Thompson responded that was more a building permit issue rather than a land use zoning issue. Motion was made by Commissioner Ahrens, seconded by Commissioner Porter, to recommend denial of the SUP due to safety issues and need to ascertain validity of contamination on the subject property. Motion passed 4—0. P&Z Commission Meeting April 16, 2002 Page 4 of 5 ACTION AGENDA 1. Consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a Preliminary Plat for the Wylie I.S.D.

Consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a Preliminary Plat for the Southbrook Addition, being a certain 66.88583 acre tract of land situated in the D.W Williams Survey, Abstract No. 980 and the Allen Atterbury Survey, Abstract No. 23, City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas, and being a part of a tract conveyed to the JCM Properties, L.P. according to the deed recorded in Volume 2233, Page 874 of the Deed Records of Collin County, Texas, and all of two tracts conveyed to JCM Partners, L.P. according to the deed recorded in County Clerk's File No. 96-0045039 of the Deed Records of Collin County, Texas, and being all of the tract conveyed to Verna M.

Thompson stated that the Preliminary Plat includes 66.85 acres and will create 220 single-family residential lots and provide for 2.3 acres of public open space, as well as provide part of the right-of-way for the future widening of Elm Road. The Planned Development District, approved by the City Council on February 26, 2002, provides for a minimum lot size of 8,000 square feet. The required park land dedication for 220 lots is 3.3 acres. The Plat provides 0.6788 acres of park land, which links to the existing neighboring park and the applicant will provide for the remaining required dedication with equivalent improvements to the park and/or funds. An additional 1.62 acres of floodplain is dedicated as public open space to serve as a future trail linkage. Motion was made by Commissioner Ahrens, seconded by Commissioner Snider, to recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat to the City Council. Motion passed 4—0. 3. Consider and act upon approval of a Site Plan for the Zylinski-Walden Building, located at 125 Regency Drive, being Lot 4, Block B of the Regency Business Park Addition Phase I, City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas.

An additional 3,000 square feet of warehouse space is planned, but there are no stated plans for the remainder of the lot. P&Z Commission Meeting April 16, 2002 Page 5 of 5 The subject property was platted prior to the recent revision to the Zoning Ordinance, and development may comply with the codes in effect at the time of platting. Dr. Marlene Walden, 6217 Covington, Rowlett, Texas, represented the applicant, stated that the proposed building would be an automobile minor repair. Dr. Walden stated further that there was an oversight on the Plat regarding the dumpster. There will be masonry surrounding the dumpster. Dr. Walden stated also that there will be overhanging awnings over the entry door as well as landscape around the outside of the property. Motion was made by Commissioner Porter, seconded by Commissioner Ahrens, to approve the Site Plan with the stipulation of awnings be above door and correction of the screening type for the dumpster from a wood fence to masonry.
