ITEM NO. 4 - CONSIDER APPROVAL OF PLAT FOR CANTERBURY HILL
(ETJ APPROVAL) - Gus Pappas reported that this subdivision
is located on Beaver Creek Road and is in Wylie ' s ETJ .
Approval of a subdivision is required, by the county from the
city :in whose ETJ the subdivision is located or the city
nearest to the subdivision . Br . Pappas reported that this
plat does not conform to the city ' s subdivision regulations
and for this reason was rejected by the staff reviewers and
the Plat Review Committee . He also explained that the
developer chose to come before the P Z and the city
council to state his case . _Ir . Pappas also stated that
Beaver Creek Road is on the city ' s thoroughfare plan and
would thus be required to meet those specifications .
Chairman Gaston asked rr . Barron Cook , the developers to
state his case before the commission . Mr . Cook stated that
this subdivision is actually an extension of his previous
subdivision of Beaver Creek Estates and he felt would be
consistent with that SD . Me is asking that he be allowed to
waive the requirement for alleys since these are one acre
lots and have no need for an alley . lie also is asking for a
septic system for sewage . He feels that he should not be
required to install a concrete street to meet thoroughfare
standards since the road on both sides is of two-shot
penetration asphalt . IIe reasons that it is financially
prohibitive for him to develop these 14 lots if he is
required to meet the concrete street requirement . r . Paul
Phy , attorney for Cook , stated that in most cities ,
provision is made in the subdivision regulations for
ranchettes and that standard subdivision regulations Co not
apply . Mr . Cook and Mr . Phy contend that the fact of Beaver
Creek Road becoming a thoroughfare is minimal and in the far
future and this subdivision should not be required to
comply .
Mr . Pappas stated that an alternative to the septic tank
system had been suggested to the developer which would
include a sewer system for the homes in the area to be fed
into a holding tank that would be pumped out by the city and
dumped into the city ' s waste treatment plant .
After lengthy discussion , the members of the commission ,
although sympathetic to the developer ' s problems , considered
their only option was to uphold the subdivision regulations
of the city . A motion was made by Bryant Barry to recommend
to the city council rejection of the plat for Canterbury
Hill Addition , with the recommendation that the council take
into consideration ( 1 ) the proper handling; of a sewage
collection tank in order to comply with the best interests
of the city , ( 2) we would be open to consideration of a 22
4
ft . concrete street which would comply with construction
standards . (3) that we recognize that the 6" water line is
acceptable and that alleys are not a consideration in this
development and that they ( the developers) have complied
with the 65 ' right-of-way as requested ; and that ROW be
granted to the city to provide ingress and egress for the
sewage holding tank. :iotion seconded by Kent Crane .
Motion carried 4-0-2 . Nancy Con .le and Randy Caston
abstaining .
ITEM NO. 9 - DISCUSSION OF MUDDY CREEK RESERVOIR - Gus
Pappas made a presentation aprising the commission members
of a problem that has come to the attention of the city
concerning proposed mobile home parks . ir . Pappas explained
that two developers have come to the city with proposed
mobile home parks . One developer , Mr . Holigan , has a
development near Muddy Creek and has petitioned the state
for a private sewage treatment plant . After speaking with
Kr . Pappas , he is willing to annex into the city , run water
and sewer lines and be served by the city of Wylie . The
other developer , Mr . Roberts , has a proposed development on
our southeastern border . T. r . Pappas explained that our
existing mobile home park ordinance is legally undefendable
and asked for the commission to read the ordinance and make
any suggestion for revision that would put the city in a
better position for defense . Mr . Pappas explained that a
city ' s strongest protection is zoning and that pert-taps we
might want to make provision for mobile home parks by
zoning . Annexing the parks also puts the city in a position
for control .
There being no further discussion , a motion was made by
Bryant Barry and seconded by Kent Crane for adjournment .
Notion carried .
