11-19-1981 (Planning & Zoning) Minutes JOINT MEETING MINUTES
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL
NOVEMBER 19, 1981
7:00 P.M.
The Wylie Planning & Zoning Commission met in joint session with
the City Council beginning at 7:10 p.m. on November 19, 1981. All
members of both the Planning & Zoning Commission and the City Council
were present. Two items were on the agenda, 1. to receive the final
report of the Comprehensive Community Plan from the consultants and
2. to consider a request for a building set back variance by the
Wylie Church of Christ.
Chairman Joe Fulgham presided and asked for a report on the request
for a variance by the Church of Christ. City Manager Lee S. Vickers
explained that the Church proper was built approximately eighteen
'1," feet from the front property line and that they wanted to extend a
classroom parallel to the property line but closer than twenty-five
feet as required by the ordinance. The Manager recommended that the
variance be allowed since it would be no closer than the original
building and because there is a sixty foot right-of-way for South
Ballard at this point. Mr. Carl Foster of the Church of Christ also
pointed out the need for the classroom and explained that it was part
of a Church expansion, with the new building addition to enhance the
overall Church property.
On motion by Bryant Barry, seconded by Albert Harrison, it was voted
unanimously to allow the variance.
Mr. J.T. Dunkin presented the final portion of the Comprehensive
Community Plan which included the central business district, the
public facilities, the Park Improvements program, and the capital
improvements program. Mr. Dunkin indicated that Mr. Dennis Masters,
Hogan & Rasor Engineers, would present the capital improvements program.
The presentation and following discussion continued for more than an
hour. Finally, on motion by Don Kreymer, seconded by John Seely, it
was voted unanimously to approve and accept the Comprehensive Community
Plan.
There being no further business, the Planning & Zoning Commission
adjourned.
The City Council went immediately into a work session, with many
items discussed, but no action taken. The following items were dis-
cussed:
1. The need for remodeling the fire station doors.
2. The need to purchase Police Department winter uniforms.
3. The need to extend the lease or to purchase the Burroughs billing
machine.
4. The Park Board plan concerning acquisition in relocation of the
old First United Methodist Church annex.
Others visitors present at the joint meeting were: Mrs. Rhea Downing
and Ms. Phyllis Johnson on behalf of the Wylie Heritage Committee,
Mr. James F. Gruben and his son, and Mr. Dell Wilson.
The Council meeting was adjourned at 9:55 p.m.
