PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING
MINUTES
OCTOBER 3, 1908
The Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Wylie met
in regular session on Monday, October 3, 1988 at 7:00 P.M.
in the Council Chambers of the Municipal Complex. A quorum
was present and notice of the meeting had been posted in the
time and manner required by law. Those present were Vice-
Chairman Bart Peddicord, Board members Cecelia Wood, Tom
Pritzkau, Bob Skipwith and Marty Stovall . Staff members
present were Code Enforcement Officer Roy Faires, Secretary
Robin Belz , City Manager John Pitstick and Engineer Ron
Homeyer. Chairman Brian Chaney and Ron Jeffries were
absent.
Vice-Chairman Bart Peddicord called the meeting to order.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
Cecelia Wood corrected the minutes of the September 19, 1988
meeting as follows: first page, second paragraph she
changed the last sentence to read "She stated that she
wanted consistency and continuity in the recording of the
voting when typing the minutes". Since there were no more
corrections to be made, Cecelia Wood made a motion to accept
the minutes as corrected. Seconded by Mr. Pritzkau. The
motion carried with all in favor.
CONSIDER RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL ON THE REVISED FINAL
PLAT FOR TWIN LAKES PHASE I:
Staff stated there were two major changes to be made due to
the fact of a high pressure gas pipeline. The pipeline was
intended to be moved but because of problems it was decided
to leave as is. After some discussion Mr. Pritzkau made a
motion to recommend that the City Council approve the plat
as presented. Seconded by Mr. Stovall . The motion carried
with all in favor.
DISCUSSION OF MASTER LAND USE PLAN:
The staff stated that they were looking for comments and
suggestions from the Board as to how they would like to see
this particular quadrant (southwest) zoned and used for as
far as the City was concerned.
Comments for single family and retail were suggested for the
the tract of land. Multi-family was also suggested to
separate the non residential from single family detached.
There was also some discussion of school locations, after
Mr. Faires pointed out that the schools had an existing
master plan for their desired locations, it was decided to
obtain a copy for use of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Mr. Pritzkau suggested that he would like to see those items
discussed colored on a map and presented at the next
meeting.
The presentation closed with Mr. Pitstick stating that at
the next meeting we would present the colored maps so the
committee would have more of an idea of what the tract of
land is presently zoned.
GENERAL DISCUSSION:
Mr. Peddicord brought up the situation of the re-zoning of
the Chapmans property and stated that he was quit upset
about the fact that they did not have all the information
submitted to them that the Council had when making a
decision on re-zoning the property, and asked if there was
any way that if there were changes made could it be brought
back to the Planning and Zoning Commission to be re-decided.
Mr. Pitstick apologized for the situation and stated that
unless there are major changes we do not feel it is
necessary to take it back to Planning and Zoning Commission.
Mr. Peddicord also stated that he and Ron Jeffries wanted to
be notified of the meeting for the Zoning Board of
Adjustments so they could be present.
There being no other business a motion was made to adjourn.
Vice-Chairman, Bart Peddicord
Respectfully Submitted,
Secretary, Robin Belz
TO: Planning and Zoning Commission
I, Doug Poole, owner of Poole Feed Supply, located at 207 N. Hwy 78
Wylie, Tx. am requesting a new and unlisted catagory for a feed store
with outside sales, in a B-1 District, under a Specific Use Permit.
Outside sales of hay and bagged wood shavings, along with other
seasonal items are restricted at this location, while other feed stores
in Wylie, as well as feed stores in many other towns, prosper from
additional sales and advertisment of outside sale items.
Surely, city officals%, elected councils, and committees, encourage new
businesses within Wylie, and are concerned and interested in their success.
Your attention to this request will be greatly appreciated.
Thank Yo ,
' Doug Poole
