ITEM NU -- PUBLIC HEARING ON REZONING OF 5 ACRES ON SH78 -
Thi s property is described as 5. 1053 acres out of the S. D.
Shelby Survey, Collin County Abstract 820. The petitioner
is asking +or a change from Retail to Business 1 in order to
add a little flexibility to the tract. The Bi zoning will
allow for higher traffic businesses as well as for
businesses who keep later hours than -hose associated with
the iii zoning v:i11 also allow tor
anything which would be allowed in retail . Specifically, B1
will allow for restaurants with drive-in service, etc. The
staff has reviewed this request and recommends approval .
Letters have been mailed to property owners within a 20) ft .
radius of the property. A total of 18 letters were mailed.
Of the 18 letters only 2 responded and they were favorable
to the B1 zoning.
Chairman Kent Crane opened the public hearing. :here being
no questions or opposition the public hearing was closed and
brought before the board for discussion. Vice-Chairman
Brian Chaney -asked Mr. Pappas if Mr. ^;cussa was p 1 ar:ni ng
anything for this tract besides something with a hinher-
traffic use. City Manager Gus Pappas responded that. the
only thing he knew of was that a McDonalds had approached
them but he did not know if the deal was set. Chairman :.er,t
Crane commented that he does not have a probi em with a
higher tr-.a+f i. c use because even though this is across from a
school , it is an elementary school where parents usually
drop-off their children at the door . There is less walking
traffic here than in a middle school or a high school . He
then asked Mr. Pappas if the Bank was included in the
request for B1 zoning? City Manager Gus Pappas said yes,
but the bank could fit under the B1 zoning. Chairman Crane
• said . that it appeared that the Bank had built across the
property line and that we might need a replat request to
clairfy the problem. City Manager Gus Pappas said that he
thought that the property had been platted into one piece
but the staff would check into that. Fred Ouellette stated
that he had no problem with B1 zoning but that in the future
he would like to know what piece of property he was zoning.
Chairman Kent Crane said that if it was the general
consensous of the commission to approve this then we should
send a note to the Council to verify that this is the piece
of property that we think it is. Vice-Chairman Brian Chaney
said that he would like to leave this tract zoned as retail
and he would like to see an office building there or
something that . would be of a lesser traffic use and
beneficial to the City of Wylie. City Manager Gus Pappas
said that this was considered to be the hottest corner in
Wylie right now and generally you don 't use your best
business locations for office space. J. F. Hall made a
motion to accept the B1 zoning with a notation to the City
Council to verify that this piece of property is one whole
piece. Ken Mauk seconded the motion. Motion carried 4-1
opposed.
ITEM NO. - APPROVAL OF DEVELOPMENTAL PLAN FOR "THE
MEADOWS" - This property is located in the triangle formed
hy S. Ballard , Stone and S. Birmingham streets. Michael
Cummings stated that the plat he was presenting tonight was
__.aei cl y the same as the plat -f)r the concept plan presented
nave -round that
U ter the lots have existing easements from TP&L that are 2
1 /2 feet from the property line on the zero lot line side.
This means that the houses will have to be built 2 1/2 feet
from the property line and have only, 7 1/2 feet between the
houses. City Manager Gus Pappas said that t7ie staff has an
objection to the fence layout because each persons fence
would not be on his property line. Michael Cummings said
that he could maintain the 0 lot lire in ail cases except
the 8 lots where the easements are ha _o-u.l d set ant y those
houses 2 1/2 feet of,_ the property lire. He also said that
he would put a note on the plat that the builder would put
sidewalks all along S. Birmingham, Balard and Stone Rd.
Fred Ouellette made a motion to aopr ov= _ne pa.at with all
houses built on the zero lot line exceo t the 8 houses where
the easement prevents this and sti pul at i.no clearly on the
plat that the builder will provida. si dew._:: s all along
Birmingham, Ballard and Stone Rd. Vic --L,hai r-man Briar;
