ACTION ITEMS
1. Consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a Replat of Lot 1 of Block
A, Century Business Park Addition, being an 8.618 acre tract according to the plat
recorded in Volume K, Page 777 of the Map Records of Collin County, Texas, and
being also a part of that tract described in a deed to Heatley-Moist, Inc. recorded in
Clerk's File No. 96-0000740 of the Deed Records of Dallas County, Texas, being
situated in the Duke Strickland Survey, Abstract No. 841, City of Wylie, Collin
County, Texas.
Thompson reviewed the history of Century Business Park Addition, stating that the
Replat will create two lots out of the existing and remaining Lot 1 of Block A. This
Replat is intended to divide the property and create the 2.373 acre Lot 1 A which is to be
sold to the adjoining property owner for future expansion of the existing Buckner
Boulevard Plumbing facility developed on Lot 5. He notes that the remaining lot is
identified as 2A on the current plat but will be revised to 1B on the version presented to
Council. There are no plans at this time for Lot 1B which will remain under the previous
ownership. The applicant is aware that before the subject property is combined with the
existing property, the two lots will have to be replatted into one and a Final Plat will be
filed with Collin County before building permits are issued.
Mr. R. C. Ottwell, Jr., 902 Country Club Drive, Heath, Texas 75032 was in attendance to
answer questions from the Commission.
Motion was made by Commissioner Porter, seconded by Commissioner Ahrens, to
approve the Replat with the correction of Lot 2A changed to Lot 1B. Motion passed 7 —
0.
PUBLIC HEARING
1. Hold a public hearing and consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a
change in zoning from Public (P)to Retail (R), for a 1.263 acre tract generally located
at Williams and Birmingham Streets, situated in the S. B. Shelby Survey, Abstract
No. 820, being part of Lot 1 and all of Lots 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of Block 5 of the
Calloway Addition, City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas, and being certain tracts
conveyed to the Wylie Independent School District recorded in Volume 337, Page 21,
Volume 337, Page 19, Volume 335, Page 118, Volume 333, Page 160, Volume 337,
Page 17 and the remainder of a tract recorded in Volume 333, Page 48 of the Deed
Records of Collin County, Texas.(Zoning Case No. 01-08).
Thompson stated that the applicant is requesting rezoning of the subject property in order
to expand the banking facility currently located on the adjacent property. Currently the
property is occupied by the Transportation Center of the Wylie Independent School
District. Thompson reviewed the history of the property as well as the properties

surrounding it, stating further that the Comprehensive Plan recommends Mixed Uses for
the subject property and the bank complies with that recommendation. Commissioner
George stated that the Comprehensive Plan actually recommends Historic District, rather
than Mixed Use, but the proposed revisions of the Zoning Ordinance narrows the Historic
Area to the downtown area north of S.H. 78. Although the current Zoning Ordinance
contains no provision for the Public (P) District, this District is used on the Official
Zoning Map to indicate school functions and other public uses that are normally allowed
by right in all zoning districts, and the current revision of the Zoning Ordinance and Map
will remove all Public districts.
Mr. Marvin Fuller, American National Bank, 301 South Highway 78, Wylie, Texas,
spoke in favor of the zoning change for the subject property. In response to
Commissioners' questions WISD property shown on the agenda illustration between the
bank and bus barn, Thompson stated that there were discrepancies between the City base
maps and applicant's surveys, which will be reconciled at platting. This is a straight
zoning case and the survey is sufficient for that purpose. Mr. Fuller stated two different
surveys indicate that the American National Bank property butts directly with the Wylie
Independent School District on the North side. The intent of American National Bank
initially is to extend their property directly behind and extend approximately twenty-five
feet west of their property line. This would not include remodeling their existing
building but rather extending and possibly enclosing the current drive-through in the
future. The remainder of the property being rezoned will go either to the drive-in
restaurant or office building to the north.
Motion was made by Commissioner Ahrens, seconded by Commissioner Chapman to
approve the zoning change from Public to Retail. Motion passed 7-0.
WORK SESSION
1. Discuss status of revisions to Zoning Ordinance and set a date for a public hearing.
Thompson stated that the Commission could discuss in detail the Zoning Ordinance.
However, public hearings will have to be held which is likely to recommend other
revisions. There is still a question whether it will be two separate public hearing by the
Commission and City Council or a joint public hearing between the City Council and
Commission.
Motion was made by Commissioner Chapman, seconded by Commissioner Wiseman to
call for a public hearing on September 4, 2001, and then present the proposed revisions to
City Council on September 25, 2001 for their public hearing. Motion passed 7—0.
