PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING
MAY 28, 1981
7:00 P.M.
The Wylie Planning & Zoning Commission met in regular session at
7:00 p.m. on May 28, 1981 with the following people present: Chair-
man Joe Fulgham, Bryant Barry, Albert Harrision, both of whom
are new members on the Commission, Don Kreymer, Ken Mauk and John
Seely. Also present were City Manager Lee S. Vickers, Planning
Consultant J. T. Dunkin, and Consulting Engineer Dennis Masters.
Representing Sparky Beckham Enterprises was Mr. Randy Strayhan.
The first item on the agenda was consideration of the preliminary
plat for Northlake Addition. Mr. Strayhan explained to the Planning
& Zoning Commission that the company plans to sell undeveloped,
approximately ten acre tracts, of which there are ten, all of which
include adequate building space for one structure. The balance of
the property is within the flood plane of the local flood control
resevoir. The City Manager asked the consulting engineering and
the planner whether or not it was required that developers within
the area of extra territorial jurisdiction who platted and sold
undeveloped tracts of five acres or more were required to file
the property plats. Mr. Masters stated that his understanding was
that it was not necessary for the plat to be filed with the City,
but he felt it was a good procedure to follow. Mr. Strayhan ad-
vised that his company desired to file the plats and would indicate
that the tracts of land would be sold as undeveloped property. He
agreed to so indicate on the face of the original plat which would
be filed for record. It was moved by Don Kreymer, seconded by Ken
Mauk to accept the preliminary plat under the stipulations contained
in the letter from Hogan & Rasor, waiving'the requirement that the
plat be drawn to scale at 100 feet to the inch and waiving the paving
and drainage requirements, because the property would be sold as
undeveloped land. The vote carried but John Seely abstained from
voting.
The request of the First Baptist Church for a temporary permit to
install a portable building on the Church parking lot east of the
/' Church and near Second Street was discussed. It was pointed out
by the City Manager that the Church had secured letters of approval
for this permit from adjacent neighbors and that the building would
be used only for Church purposes. After some discussion it was
moved, seconded and voted unanimously to recommend to the City Council
that the one year permit be granted the Church, with the stipulation
that the permit would be examined again at the end of a year to
determine if an extension is warranted.
The Planning & Zoning Commission also requested the City Manager to
contact the Full Gospel Church located at Second and Butler to see
if they wish to extend the temporary permit for their portable
building for an additional period. A similar request was made of
the City Manager concerning the portable building installed approxi-
mately one year ago by General Telephone on its property located on
South First.
Mr. Harrison requested the City's requirements on rear lot light
clearance or set back for portable buildings. Mr. Dunkin advised
him that in single family zoning areas the required set back was
at least 10 feet.
The matter of the proposed sanitary sewer lift station was discussed.
The City Manager indicated that the new lift station would serve
approximately 45 acres and recommended that the City adopt a policy
of recovering approximately half the cost of the lift station by
assessing a pro rata charge at so many dollars per acre as necessary
to recover approximately 50% of the cost of the lift station which
was estimated to be $54,100. On motion by Ken Mauk seconded by Bryant
Barry, it was voted unanimously to recommend to the Council that the
pro rata policy be adopted for the construction of the lift station,
but that the Planning & Zoning Commission felt the City Council should
set the amount necessary to recover whatever cost they felt must be
recovered.
Mr. J. T. Dunkin presented three elements of the proposed Comprehen-
sive Community Plan which were as follows:
1. He presented the proposed plan for public parks and playgrounds
which was approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission in concept.
2. He presented a plan and recommendations for improvements to public
portions of the central business district, including recommendations
for additional off street parking, which was also approved in concept.
3. Mr. Dunkin also discussed the need for a new City Government
complex and discussed the need for a comprehensive plan for future
educational improvements. His comments were approved in concept.
It was agreed that Mr. Dunkin would submit his recommendations to the
City Council at its meeting at June 9, 1981.
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned.
