A quorum was present and a notice was posted in the time and manner required by law. COMMISSION MEMBERS PRESENT: Rich Eckman, Cecilia Wood, Ray Capley, Mark Clark, Steve Ahrens, Tim Owen and Eric Hogue. ABSENT: No one STAFF MEMBERS PRESENT: Mike Phillips-Building Official and Rebecca Rogers=Secretary. ACTION ITEMS 1. Discuss and consider approval of the Minutes from the November 3, 1997 Regular Business Meeting. Motion made by Steve Ahrens to accept the Minutes as presented, seconded by Tim Owen. Motion carried, all in favor(7). PUBLIC HEARING 1. Hold a Public Hearing to consider amending the City of Wylie's Zoning Ordinance regarding "Minimum dwelling size"in the zoning classifications of"SF-1", Single-Family-1, "SF-2", Single- Family-2 and"SF-3", Single Family-3, specifically, Sections 9.2(3), 10.3(3) and 11.3(3). Chairman Eckman opened the Public Hearing. Billy Jo Swaner, 102 Tanglewood Circle, Wylie; Julie Schmader, 1308 Anchor Drive, Wylie; and Heath Smith, 601 Andersonville Lane, Wylie were present to speak in favor of changing the minimum dwelling size requirements. The above were in favor of larger dwelling size minimums being required(1400-1500 sq. ft. min.), better quality homes, and larger lots. They feel that SF-3 zoning is currently a detriment to the neighborhoods and quality of life in Wylie, that too much is currently zoned for SF-3 and need to increase the number of larger, quality homes. The Commission recessed for 10 minutes to review information provided by Billie Jo Swaner. The Commission reconvened. Discussion among the Commission members ensued regarding minimum lot sizes, minimum house sizes, quantity of non-conforming houses if min. sq. ft. is changed, additions, etc. Wylie is not comparable to Sachse, Murphy, Lucas, Parker, etc. Discussion about upgrading building codes (requiring better building material, ensuring quality), litigation, how neighboring cities are handling non-conformity; and also get attorney's input before making a decision. A motion was made by Steve Ahrens to table amending the Minimum Dwelling Area requirements of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Wylie, seconded by Cecilia Wood. Motion carried, 6 in favor-1 abstention(Ray Capley). CITIZEN PARTICIPATION Billy Jo Swaner, 102 Tanglewood Circle,Wylie, feels that there is too much SF-3 zoning, need more SF- 1 & 2. Wylie needs a tax base to support schools and city services. 1 Richard Nance,224 Meadowlark, Wylie,feels that Fox& Jacobs homes do not look good, hard to keep square footage up, buyers all want SF-3 zoning, the city will turn into a slum by offering affordable housing(smaller houses---slum houses). Change to 1,500 sq. ft. minimum and don't let any more tract builders come in. Wants Wylie to look like Plano. Raise minimum house size to 1,500 sq. ft. and get some good custom builders. Mark Clark asked what reasons do we have for developers to come to Wylie besides SF-3 housing, we don't need to be like Plano, smaller community here in Wylie. We need to develop that "something special",find a model for Wylie, copy it and then do it better. If real estate drops like it has in the past, we want to be where developers will come. Nora Weyandt,2 Creekside Lane,Wylie,doesn't want to be like Plano, keep community spirit with safe and good schools and good recreation for families. The City already has affordable housing and with the average sq. ft., city services will never be paid for. Eric Hogue, stated that SF-3 attracts affordable housing, which in turn attracts young families with children which supports the schools. Steve Ahrens stated that even if the City were to re-zone to only SF-1 and SF-2, Fox& Jacobs will still build tract homes and Wylie needs more custom builders. Julie Schmader, 1308 Anchor Drive, Wylie, is very upset by Fox and Jacobs and the houses they are building. Doesn't feel that F&J are following the codes(M. Phillips stated that they were).Need more quality not quantity. Heath Smith, 601 Andersonville Lane, Wylie, 25 years old, lives in SF-3 zoning, 1,800 sq. ft. house, doesn't understand why it is difficult for the Commission to understand that min. housing size needs to be changed. Moved to Wylie for the community and atmosphere, small town life, grow together. ADJOURNMENT A motion was made to adjourn by Ray Capley, seconded by Cecilia Wood. Motion carried, all in favor (7)- Respectfully submitted, Richard Eckman, Chairman Rebecca Rogers, Secretary 2 ip Planning & Zoning Commission #1 Action Item Re: Recommendation for Approval of Final Plat January 5, 1998 Issue Discuss and consider a recommendation to the City Council a request for approval of a Final Plat (Approved for Construction) for the Newport Harbor, Phase Ill Subdivision submitted by Centex Homes. This property is located north of the intersection of FM 1378 and FM 3412 (Brown Street) and more specifically described as being 24.678 acres out of the J.C. McUlmurry Survey, Abstract No. 629. Background Owner/Developer Centex Homes, of Carrollton, is the owner of 87.781 acres and has proposed a housing development consisting of 359 lots (total) to be constructed on said property. The original Preliminary Plat of Newport Harbor consisted of three phases. Only the first phase was ever approved as a Final Plat and approved for construction. This first phase consists of the lots presently located on Schooner Bay and Anchor Drive. On November 4, 1996, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the new Newport Harbor Preliminary Plat. This new Preliminary Plat platted six phases in the same area where the original only had two. The City Council approved the same Preliminary Plat at their meeting on November 12, 1996. Newport Harbor Phase II was Approved for Construction on January 28, 1997 and accepted by the City Of Wylie. Homes are under construction in that Phase now. If Phase III is recommended for approval, and if City Council approves, the developer will then be allowed to begin construction of the public facilities which include all on-site improvements and the off-site drainage channel to the east. Sewer will be provided to this Phase by the construction of a outfall sewer which will extend south to the Muddy Creek Interceptor Sewer. The construction of the sewer will replace the existing lift station at Newport Harbor and the entire subdivision will be served by the new sewer main. The new main has been sized and installed to serve the area of the Birmingham Farms and all the drainage basin to the south to Hwy. 544. This outfall sewer is indicated on the City of Wylie's Sewer Master Plan. The Final Plat which is being brought before the P&Z for consideration is for Phase III, consisting of 95 lots on 24.678 acres, directly to the south of Phase II, and including the continuation of the cul-de-sac at the east end of Anchor Dr. Financial Considerations Impact Fees for this Phase of Newport Harbor amount to $200,640. As established in the Subdivision Regulations, Centex Homes could be eligible for reimbursement for a portion of the construction costs on the outfall sewer but the figure for the construction of that line is not know at this time. Other Considerations According to the City of Wylie's Subdivision Regulations, a Preliminary Plat must be submitted and reviewed by Staff to ensure that sufficient information exists, and is then recommended for approval by the Engineer. The Preliminary Plat and Plat Application is then submitted at least 15 consecutive days before the meeting of the Planning & Zoning Commission (P&Z) for its study and recommendation. The P&Z shall endeavor to act on the Preliminary Plat within 30 days from the date the plat was filed with each body for their approval. The Preliminary Plat shall then be submitted to the City Council for final action. After approval of the Preliminary Plat by the City Council, the subdivider may then prepare a Final Plat of all or a portion of the land included in the Preliminary Plat for submission to and consideration by the Planning & Zoning Commission for final recommendations. Upon final action by the P&Z on any Final Plat, the same shall be referred to the City Council for Final Plat approval. Upon approval action of the City Council, the Mayor is authorized to sign the signature block "Approved for Construction". At this time, the developer shall pay his required Developmental Inspection Fees and begin construction of the public facilities to be dedicated to the City. These construction areas include public streets, alleys, water lines, sewer lines, storm drainage lines, channels and all associated construction to be dedicated to the City. The City Council's vote that the Final Plat as presented is approved for construction indicates that at that point in time, no known conditions exist which will require changes from the approved Final Plat. Inspections will be made throughout the construction of the infrastructure facilities which are intended for dedication to the City. After completion of the "dedicated improvements", the developer shall apply to the City Council for acceptance of the Final Plat, which includes dedications and easements. City Staff shall indicate to the City Council that all public improvements have been completed in accordance with the requirements of the City of Wylie. Only then is the Mayor authorized to sign the signature block "Accepted". The Final Plat shall then be filed with the appropriate County, and issuance of building permits may begin. Building Permits may only be issued on a completed development or within a completed, approved phase. Staff Recommendations This Plat has been reviewed by City Staff and Consulting Engineer, Greg MacLean and meets all City of Wylie Subdivision Regulation requirements. Staff recommends approval for construction for the Newport Harbor, Phase Ill Final Plat.
