A Preliminary Plat must be submitted for approval prior to any permits being issued. Public comment forms were mailed to 103 surrounding property owners. Nine comment forms received in opposition and no comment forms received in favor. One comment form was not marked in favor or in opposition. Ms. 011ie read one comment form from Mr. Charles Osborne for the record that was submitted prior to the start of the meeting. "Since we purchased our home in 2007 we have seen a continual deterioration of the area behind our home. With the road work widening Brown Street and the construction of the homes in Kreymer Estates the creek area has been negatively impacted. During these 8 years a continuous buildup of silt has caused sandbarges blocking water flow, accumulating trash and vegetation. The city has done nothing to remedy this situation. Also the increase in vegetation is unsightly. We believe zoning changes resulting in more construction will surely result in further deterioration of the quality of our area." eawl Public Comments Mr. Jim Douglas, Douglas Properties, 2309 K Avenue, Suite 100, Richardson, made a presentation to the Commissioners, and stated that the proposed request is amendment to PD 2014-32, with additional land to the east side. The Conditions of the PD 2014-32 is staying the same with the exception of setbacks to property on corner lots. The hike and bike trail was modified from the PD 2014-32. The trail is to the back of the lots, instead of being in the front. The hike and bike trail will also allow for children to walk to and from school. Signage and school crossing will be installed and moving the school zone back to include proposed property. The creek will be cleaned out and maintained. The developer will clean out the creek by removing the dead debris and trash. The developer will work with the city of improving the old cemetery that is between the proposed property and Avalon Addition to the north. Chair Smith opened the Public Hearing. The following citizens spoke in opposition of the request, expressed concern of flooding from the creek. e—► Mr. Mike Wietecha, 303 S Foxwood Lane Minutes May 19,2015 Wylie Planning and Zoning Board Page 3 of 4 Mr. Paul Davis, 511 S Foxwood Lane Mr. Paul Curtis, 509 Foxwood Lane Ms. Linda Cunningham, 205 Kings Court, Avalon Addition just had a question as to green space backing up to her property. Ms. 011ie stated that the current green space will continue being green space. Chair Smith closed the Public Hearing. Mr. Douglas stated that the flood study will be done after the preliminary plat is submitted. The water surface will not be raised to develop the property. The number of lots may change but will not go over the maximum number of lots. Once the creek is cleaned out, the potential of the creek flooding into the existing property owner's yard will be improved. The Commissioners questioned who is responsible for the creek. Ms. 011ie stated that she would look at Stone Grove Plat to see what portions were dedicated to the city. If dedicated to the city when the plat was approved, then the city is responsible for maintaining and cleaning the creek. She can make phone call or research to find out who is responsible for the creek. Mr. Douglas stated that if owned by the city, the developer will join in with the city to clean and maintain the creek. Board Action A motion was made by Commissioner Culver, and seconded by Commissioner Owens, to recommend approval to the City Council for Change of Zoning Case 2014-04. Motion carried 5—O.
