PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
MINUTES
The Planning and Zoning Commission met in a Regular Business Meeting on January 19, 1998, at 7:00
p.m. in the Council Chambers of the Wylie Municipal Complex, located at 2000 Hwy. 78 North, Wylie,
Texas 75098. A quorum was present and a notice was posted in the time and manner required by law.
COMMISSION MEMBERS PRESENT: Steve Ahrens, Ray Capley, Rich Eckman, Mark Clark and
Eric Hogue (late-missed Action Item#1).
ABSENT: Cecilia Wood-excused, Tim Owen-excused.
STAFF MEMBERS PRESENT: Mike Phillips - Building Official, Tobin Maples - City Planner, and
Rebecca Rogers - Secretary.
ACTION ITEMS
1. Discuss and consider approval of the Minutes from the January 5, 1998 Regular Business
Meeting. Motion made by Ray Capley to accept the Minutes as presented, seconded by Mark
Clark. Motion carried, all in favor (4).
2. Discuss and Consider a recommendation to the City Council for approval of a Preliminary
Plat/Development Plan for Phase I of Lakeside Estates proposed by Tipton Engineering for
Paramount Development. Mike Phillips, Building Official, addressed the changes from the
original concept plan. The City has been assured that the swimming pool will be part of the
Homeowner Association Maintenance(HOA)and the two soccer fields will be a part of the park
dedicated to the City of Wylie. The dedication will be reviewed by the Park Board. Front entry
drives not allowed on collector streets(unless you have 100 ft. wide lots), an alley has been added
to Springwell Parkway. The Plat has been reviewed by City Staff and recommends it for approval
subject to Note 1 being revised accordingly. Motion was made by Steve Ahrens, seconded by
Mark Clark, to recommend to City Council approval of the Preliminary Plat/Development Plan
for Phase I of Lakeside Estates with the stipulation that Note 1 be revised per Staff comments.
Motion carried, all in favor (5).
3. Discuss and Consider a recommendation to the City Council for approval of a Preliminary
Plat/Development Plan for Phase II of Lakeside Estates proposed by Tipton Engineering for
Paramount Development. Mr. Phillips addressed the changes on Phase II. The City felt there
might be some shortcutting through some of the streets and a problem with some lots facing a
collector street, so some streets were reconfigured and some changes were made to the park area.
Staff recommends the Preliminary Plat for approval subject to Note 1 being revised accordingly.
Discussion ensued regarding some of the property being in the 100 year flood plain, which will
dealt with by engineering before it is approved for Final Plat. Mark Clark asked for a list of the
principals of Paramount Development to be provided7nOlitti was made by Eric Hogue,
seconded by Steve Ahrens, to recommend to City Council approval of the Preliminary
Plat/Development Plan for Phase II of Lakeside Estates with the stipulation that Note 1 be revised
per Staff comments. Motion carried, all in favor(5).
4. Discuss and Consider a recommendation for approval of a Preliminary Plat submitted by D.R.
Horton for a 114.78 acre, 359 lot residential development designated as Twin Lakes Phase II
located north of the Twin Lakes Phase I subdivision, east of S. Ballard Avenue. Mr. Phillips
reviewed the Preliminary Plat for Twin Lakes Phase II for 359 lots, consisting of SF-1, SF-2 and
SF-3 zoning. A Final Plat was submitted in 1988 to be developed in the same way with a minor
1
deviation in lots counts. Land Study was omitted because it had been previously approved. The
developer has chosen to use a living landscape for the required screening. Staff recommends
approval of the Preliminary Plat. Alanis Drive will eventually be a major thoroughfare (four lane
divided)and the developer will match the existing right-of-way. Discussion followed regarding
screening requirements and perhaps that a revision of the requirements is needed. Right-of-way
maintenance would be performed by the City and not the developer. Motion was made by Ray
Capley,seconded by Eric Hogue,to recommend to City Council approval of the Preliminary Plat
for Twin Lakes Phase II subdivision. Motion carried, all in favor(5).
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
None. Rich Eckman addressed creating a Thoroughfare Screening Plan/Ordinance, perhaps through a
joint workshop with Parks Dpt. and City Council.
ADJOURNMENT
A motion was made to adjourn by Steve Ahrens, seconded by Ray Capley. Motion carried, all in favor
(5).
Respectfully submitted,
Richard Eckman, Chairman Rebecca Rogers, Secretary

Discussion: General Workshop
February 2, 1998
Discuss Planning and Zoning Issues and Ordinance Amendments.
DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING
City of wyll¢
MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Tobin E. Maples, Director of Planning /f.
DATE: February 2, 1998
SUBJECT
Planning and Zoning Issues and Ordinance Amendments
DISCUSSION
As the City Council, the Planning and Zoning Commission and City staff have previously
discussed, there are many amendments needing to be made to the City of Wylie's comprehensive
plan and zoning and subdivision ordinances. The City has already begun to address these
through both the multi-family development standards approved in April, and the new water and
wastewater impact fees approved in March. Now that those items are completed, the Planning
Department would like to propose the following list of amendments and improvements (not in
any particular order)to initiate over the next 6 to 12 months with the intention of: ( 1) providing
short-term relief from the most commonly encountered problems in order to free up staff time to
revisit the comprehensive plan and begin work on a complete overhaul of the zoning and
subdivision ordinances, and(2) streamlining the approval process for developers wishing to
obtain building permits.
The purpose of tonight's meeting is to discuss and develop recommendations charged with
examining and addressing the objectives detailed above. Also, Staff anticipates forwarding
Planning and Zoning Commission recommendations to the City Council for further direction.
• Proposed improvements to the in-house development review process.
• Proposed schedule for public hearings (application cut-off periods). :pi"IAA
'4.- Develop and approve Planning and Zoning Commission rules of procedure. —
• Amend the zoning ordinance to modify and improve single family residential $F3
development standards.
• Amend various zoning districts to remove objectionable ises typically associated
with more intensive districts.
2000 Highway 78 North•Wylie.Texas 75098•(972) 442-8100• Fax (972) 442-4302
• Amend the zoning ordinance to clearly delineate the intent and objectives of the
Planned Development(PD) district.
• Amend the zoning ordinance to modify the exterior finish standards within all V
districts.
• Amend the zoning and subdivision ordinances to remove the requirement that platted
building lines supersede more restrictive zoning setbacks.
• Amend the subdivision ordinance to remove t e requirement that all plats have to go
to the City Council for final approval.
• Amend the zoning or subdivision ordinance to require specific screening guidelines
along public thoroughfares.
• Amend the subdivision ordinance to require erosion control measures
• Amend the paving standards.
• Amend the water and sewer standards.
• Adopt standard construction details and resolve conflicts between the subdivision
ordinance and other supporting documents.
The above list will keep staff occupied for at least the next six months. With the City Council's
approval, staff will proceed with these amendments and improvements as time and other
workloads permit. Staff could do two amendments every month or two, with the more
complicated ones, such as thoroughfare screening, taking more time.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
