In the mid 1990s TXDOT acquired portions of this property and most recently the City of Wylie has acquired portions of the property for improvements to SH 78 and right-turn lane at the intersection. The property owner was compensated for all of the acquisitions. The applicant is proposing retail uses for both buildings on the property. The site work will consist of landscape improvements, resurfacing of pavement, relocation of drive way and considerable alterations to building elevations. Proposed modifications to exterior of buildings will include application of stone veneer to the front, sides and rear elevations on both buildings. In addition, the applicant proposes to relocate the main entrance of Building #1 to the north. The applicant proposes to meet architectural design requirement by applying stone veneer to all sides of both building. The stone veneer will serve as the primary material for both building. A final plat accompanies this item and is on the current agenda for Commission's review. Therefore, staff supports and recommends approval of the site plan subject to: Additions and alterations as required by the engineering plans, and Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council approval of the Final Plat. Mr. Stan Haddock, 221 Country Club Drive, Heath Texas, represented property owner/applicant of the subject property, stated that Metro PCS will lease the building on the hard corner. In June 2007, a proposal was submitted for parking alternative to allow both existing structures to share parking, however that request was denied by City Council. At the meeting in June 2007, a recommendation was made to change the main entrance to the building on the hard corner to face the north. To achieve that recommendation allows for additional landscaping around the hard corner and up to the road. The entrance to the property from SH 78 is located seventy-three feet north of the southern property line.

Minutes August 7, 2007 Wylie Planning and Zoning Board Page 5 of 6 Mr. Alan Adkins, 5949 Sherry Lane, Suite 1220, Dallas, Texas, represented the owner of the property, stated that there are several issues surrounding the property, thus making it a very challenging development.
