certain 1.0006 acre tract generally located west of Sanden Boulevard and north of
Hensley Lane, situated in the Duke Strickland Survey, Abstract No. 841, in the City
of Wylie, Collin County, Texas.
Chairman George asked staff if all of the Final Plats conformed to their approved
Preliminary Plats and other technical requirements of State and Wylie codes, and if so,
could not all three be approved by a single motion. Thompson confirmed that each did
so, and that a single motion could approve all unless a Commissioner or member of the
audience desired to have discussion of one or more. Commissioner Ahrens commented
that he preferred placing Final Plats which fully conform to technical requirements on the
Consent Agenda as the P&Z once had considered them. Commissioners responded in
general agreement to that suggestion. Chairman George asked if anyone in the audience
wished to discuss any of the Final Plats, and no one expressed a desire to address either
of the three.
Chairman George read the notices of the three Final Plats. There was no discussion.

WORK SESSION
The Work Session was convened at 7:10 p.m.
The following items were discussed:
1. Commissioners agreed to cancel the January 2regular meeting, due to the holidays.
Thompson noted that the City Council had tabled until January 9 the Preliminary Plat
for Cimarron Estates so that certain changes can be considered by the applicant, and
this may necessitate a special meeting of the P&Z to review a revised plat on January
8 or 9.
2. Commissioners unanimously expressed the desire that Final Plats which meet all
technical requirements and conforms to approved preliminary plats be placed on
consent agendas in the future.
3. Thompson distributed copies of the draft report on Land Use Assumptions for Impact
Fees 2000 — 2010. Thompson reviewed the contents of the report, including
tabulations of existing and projected future land use patterns and population levels.
The study concludes a reasonable estimate of population for 2010 will be 18,550,
requiring development of an additional 1,785 acres above those acres developed to
serve the current population. City Engineer Holsted led a discussion of the Impact
Fee and Capital Improvements Program adoption process, addressing several
questions by Commissioners including what types of improvements fees may be
charged for and why there no fees are charged for drainage improvements, when
developers pay the fee and what is our record of collections, and what is the need for
water storage towers and how can these towers be better incorporated into residential
areas. Commissioners asked to be provided a comparison of how Wylie compares to
other municipalities in ratios of land use and population as well as impact fee charges.
Thompson and Hoisted responded that they will attempt to provide such information
when the impact fee assumptions are considered at later meetings. The future review
process includes finalization of these population and land use assumptions, adoption
of revised water and sewer plan and required capital improvements, and
establishment of appropriate impact fees. Commissioners were asked to review the
P&Z Meeting

draft assumptions and be prepared to make a recommendation to the City Council in
early January.
4. Thompson announced that revisions to the nonresidential provisions of the Zoning
Ordinance will be discussed again in January, and that a joint review session will be
scheduled with P&Z Commission and Council for late January or early February.
Commissioners were encouraged to review the proposed revisions which have been
distributed and to forward any comments or concerns to Thompson as soon as
possible so that a final draft can be compiled for consideration in January.
