There were no City of Wylie residents in opposition to the proposal . However, Mr. James Weaver, a land owner on the northeast corner of the development raised concerns about the effect of the smaller lots and houses on existing property values.

Mr. Daniel presented a plan with deed restrictions showing drainage and topographic maps being filed at Collin County. He indicated there would be 10 lots, minimum of 12 acre in size and be single family residences. Water and sewer facilities were approved by the registered sanitarian in McKinney. Mr. Daniel indicated the sewer would be a field transportation system rather than a septic drain field, due to the right clays in the area. This system has been approved and the City will receive a plan. There was also a general discussion concerning the future thoroughfare plans for County Road 382 and County Road 433 or Old Highway 78, which borders Meadow Heights Estates. Mr. Daniel pointed out there was a 30 foot right-of-way dedication from the centerline of each of these roads plus Collin County required a 50 foot building line beyond the right-of-way line which would assure adequate road expansion. . Albert Harrison made a motion to approve the plat of Meadow Heights Estates, seconded by Mike McAnally. All were in favor with John Seeley abstaining. Review of proposed site plan for Village East Apartments. Don Kreymer, owner of Village East Apartments made the presentation using the original site plan as presented to the City Manager in September 1982. There was no revised site plan presented to the Commission. Mr. Kreymer proposed a total of 28 apartments (two ten unit buildings and one eight unit building on the site) . He stated this arrangement would satisfy the two items of the Zoning Ordinance that the City Manager and the Planning & Zoning Commission had requested. These were the required 2.5 parking spaces per dwelling unit for off-street parking and a 30 foot distance between buildings. Mr. Mike McAnally and others were concerned about the apartment unit density, which the Zoning Ordinance calls for a maximum of 15 units per acre or 3,000 square feet per unit minimum. The City Manager pointed out that the site contained 51 ,106 square feet or 1 .17 acres, which would allow a maximum of 17 apartment units rather than the proposed 28 units. Mr. McAnally also questioned why the apartments were under construction without the needed street improvements on Oak, sidewalks, water service, and fire hydrant. Mr. Kreymer stated he has offered to pay for the 6" water line to be brought up to 5th Street from the Oaks Addition, to pay for their part of Oak Street to be paved and offered to give the City a fire hydrant at his expense. 3. ice- JQ /7-z- Mr. Kreymer revealed that he was issued a building permit for the first apartment building containing ten units with the request to comply with the Zoning Ordinance on the additional construction. The City Manager stated he issued the building permit for the first ten apartment units with the stipulation that any additional building permits would not be issued unless a revised plat was brought in to the City Hall . He also recommended to the Commission that the Zoning Ordinance be reviewed concerning apartment zoning, and that future apartment site plans be reviewed by the Commission. He felt a compromise of 20 units would be suitable. However, Mr. Kreymer indicated that number would not be feasible. Mr. Kreymer proposed a total of 26 apartment units which would include the existing ten unit building and two eight unit buildings. Bryant Barry made a motion to accept the 26 units with acceptable cosmetics, greenbelt and playground and architectural features to enhance the facilities. John Seeley seconded the motion with all in favor. The plat will be revised and brought before the Planning & Zoning Commission. Public hearing on request to rezone 43.401 acre tract from agriculture to mobile home district. Melvin St. John advised the Commission that he wanted his request for rezoning removed from the agenda on the advice of his legal counsel . The item was removed. Planning discussion regarding mobile home parks. The Planning & Zoning Commission conducted a lengthy discussion regarding mobile home parks and growth in general . Chairman Fulgham and Vice Chairman Seeley each made a point to keep the discussion concentrated on mobile home parks. Mike McAnally further narrowed the discussion to the proposed Glen Knoll Mobile Home Park, pointing out that the land was annexed into the City now as agriculture. He also discussed the presence of Ordinance 70-2 regulating mobile home parks in the City. The City Manager discussed the problems facing the City and the problems Wylie will face as it grows. He re-introduced to the Commission Mr. J. T. Dunkin, City Planner, who will be assisting the Commission as counsel and planning consultant at future meetings. The discussion broadened to recognize the need for the planning of the future growth of the City. The concensus was that the City was to grow but there is a definite need to control the growth. The general feeling was the need to determine the present residential mix and plan for future growth as needs dictate. Mr. Bo Daffin made a presentation to the Commission indicating the tax rolls, such as the Wylie Independent School District and the Central Appraisal District should be utilized to determine the current housing mix and the future housing needs. The tax information would be useful in revenue source determination and for planning purposes. 4. There followed a general discussion concerning the appraisal process concerning mobile homes. The discussion on planning and zoning guidelines was postponed until the next regular Planning & Zoning Commission meeting. The meeting was adjourned. Jo ulgham, Ch i man 5.
