ACTION AGENDA
1. Consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a Final Plat for the
Railroad Industrial Park Addition, 1 St Revision, generally located west of Birmingham
Street and north of State Highway 78, being all of a 0.397 acre tract of land, including
a replat of Lot 3, and a 0.123 acre tract of land conveyed to Robert W. Heath,
Dorothy Heath, Dick O. Sharman and Carolyn Sharman, recorded in Collin County
Clerk's File No. 02-0151549, situated in the S.B. Shelby Survey, Abstract No. 820,
City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas.
Thompson stated that the Final Plat combines the existing Lot 3 with a 0.123-acre portion
of the recently abandoned railroad right-of-way into a single lot. The property currently
fronts only on Industrial Court and this plat will provide direct access to SH 78. The
proposed expansion of the existing building will reorient the building to face SH 78. The
Plat also provides a common access easement to the adjoining property to the west, on
which a similar renovation is contemplated.
The building was developed with an east side yard of two (2) feet eight (8) inches
allowed under the Industrial (I) District standards of the previous Zoning Ordinance. The
property was rezoned to Corridor Commercial (CC) in February 2002, requiring a side
yard of ten (10) feet. The applicant received variances from the Zoning Board of
Adjustment on October 28, 2002, for the sign location setbacks and setbacks to the 2'8"
of the existing building. All other aspects of the new addition, parking lot and
landscaping will meet current codes.
Bob Heath, 4506 E Parker Road, Parker, Texas, represented as the property owner of the
subject property, stated that the building will be 100%cementatious stone.

Appreciation Dinner on November 14, 2002. Thompson also polled the Commission
concerning the desire for a December 17, 2002, meeting.

and standards and will be presented at a later date. Thompson presented the highlights of
the procedures, stating that the revisions closely follow the current Regulations. A
Concept Plan or Land Study is required on all sites, before Preliminary and Final Plats
are reviewed, Plats must be approved by both the Commission and Council.
3. Presentation of the policies and procedures of the Tree Preservation regulations.
The meeting was moved to the rear of the Council Chambers for a slide presentation on
