requested SF-3 (single family) , B-2 (business) and MF
(multi-family) . Chairman Crane opened the public hearing .
Jim McKnight , representing the property owner stated that he
did not have a presentation but would be happy to answer any
questions from the members of the Commission. The public
hearing was closed . In answer to a question from the table ,
Mr . McKnight stated that they were requesting a total of 8
acres for the multi-family area , 32 acres in the single
family (SF-3) area . The business area has a frontage on Elm
Road of 60 ft . Gus Pappas noted that the property that is
immediately to the north of this tract is zoned for SF-1 and
while this property has not been developed and it is
unrealistic to expect that the entire 159 acres would be
built of SF-1 type homes , does the Commission feel they want
to put SF-3 right next to what will most likely be SF-1
residences . After brief discussion , the concensus from the
Commission was that the property to the north is not
developed and there are no plans for development and
therefore they cannot know what will be built on that tract ,
the tract before them tonight is being developed and they
did not have a problem with the requested zoning . A motion
was made by Don Montgomery to recommend approval to the City
Council for the zoning as requested on the petition . Motion
seconded by Ken Mauk . Motion carried 7-0 .

pointed out the property on the map . He noted that this
property owner had requested annexation some months ago but
was not contiguous at that time . That is no longer a
hindrance with the annexation of the MBank property . Staff
recommends approval . The public hearing was opened by
Chairman Crane . With no comment from the floor , the public
hearing was closed and the item returned to the table for
discussion . After brief discussion , a motion was made by
Bill Chapman to recommend approval of this annexation
petition to the City Council . Motion seconded by Brian
Chaney . Motion carried 7-0 .

property is described as 7 . 136 acres out of the Francisco de
la Pina Survey , Abstract 688 located on SH78 and is the site
for the proposed Wylie Municipal Complex . The public
2
hearing was opened by Chairman Crane . With no comment from
the floor , the public hearing was closed and the item
returned to the table for discussion . In response to
comments from the commission , Mr . Pappas noted that although
this would appear to be on the outskirts of the City at this
time , the apparant growth of the City would indicate that in
the not too distant future , this would be very nearly the
center of the City . With no further discussion, a motion
