The property is approximately 38 acres of land, of which a portion contains a historical house known as "The Stone House." The rich history of this site and structure will be incorporated in the overall theme of the development.The applicant and the property owner have a"'+ worked with Staff and the Wylie Historical Society to ensure that the house is relocated and preserved for its historic value.

'•••• Minutes January 20,2015 Wylie Planning and Zoning Board Page 3 of 5 Chairman Smith excused himself for a short break. Vice Chair Larson took over as Chair. Board Discussion Commissioner Owens expressed concern of the five foot side yard setback. Commissioner Larson expressed concern of size of lots, and stated that the property was prime piece for larger lots. Commissioner Owens stated that the proposed development does not offer any benefits to the city. Commissioner Williams expressed desire for larger home, nothing appealing to the community. Mr. Douglas stated that the lot size and dwelling size is the same as Kreymer Estates other than the buffer to the north with lot size 7,200 square feet. Commissioner McCrossin spoke in favor of the size of the lots and moving the historical home straight across Fire Station No. 1, for security. He further stated most developers would have destroyed the home, in order to widen the road. Commissioner Culver spoke in favor of moving the historical home. Ms. 011ie stated that a Planned Development gives the city the ability to enforce the conditions written in the ordinance. The developments with straight zoning do not have the flexibility for the benefits that some planned development conditions can provide. A straight zoning lot and dwelling size will meet the ordinance but the price on the home is lower than a development that is zoned as a planned development. The Planned Development gives benefits without forcing a price tag on the homes. Chairman Smith returned to the meeting and resumed chairmanship.

Mr. Jim Douglas, Douglas Properties, 2309 Avenue K, Plano, applicant for the subject property The Stone Ranch, stated that the proposed development will honor the family by naming streets and subdivision after the family members.

Two acres is dedicated for the house, and open space about 500 feet to the north of the current location. The development proposes masonry screened wall from the major thoroughfare roads, Ballard Avenue and Alanis Drive. No lots will be facing Alanis Drive or Ballard Avenue.

The design of the lot size will be a mixture from the north in that the lot sizes will be 7,200 square feet,and the lots close to Alanis Drive minimum of 8,500 square feet. The development will consist of no more than 145 lots. Mr. David Conkle, 200 Alanis, spoke in opposition of smaller lot size closer to Alanis, and spoke in favor to move the historical home.
