ACTION AGENDA
1. Consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a Final Plat for the
Creek Hollow Addition, Phase 2, being all of a certain 22.041 acre tract of land,
generally located west of Westgate Way and north of F.M. 544, said tract of land
being a portion of the larger tract comprised of two parcels as described in deeds
to Creek Hollow-Wylie Lot Option, L.P., recorded in Volume 5474, Pages 8959
and 8967 of the Deed Records of Collin County, Texas (DRCCT), and being
situated in the E.C. Davidson Survey, Abstract No. 266, City of Wylie, Collin
County, Texas.
Thompson stated that the Final Plat for Phase 2 of the Creek Hollow Addition includes
22.041 acres and will create 77 single-family residential lots. The property is zoned
Planned Development (PD 2003-13), allowing a total of 200 residential lots. Phase 1
created 123 single-family lots, so this Plat complies with that requirement.
The Plat dedicates 4.825 acres as public park land, about half of which is occupied by
floodplain. An easement is provided along the eastern property line of the park to allow
private access for maintenance of the retaining wall and wrought iron fence required as a
Condition of the PD.
Commissioner Hughes questioned if the storm water drains to the railroad. Thompson
stated that much of the water drains to the west into the creek. But the railroad is a
barrier and will not allow additional drainage. Water is also retained in ditches along the
north side of the corridor. The Corp of Engineering oversees the drainage channels, and
will dredge the drainage periodically to confirm that the water capacity remains the same
level. Commissioner Larson questioned if there is retention pools in that area.
Thompson stated yes, and this is an old US SCS development intended to collect eroded
soils.
A motion was made by Commissioner Hughes, and seconded by Commissioner
Spillyards, to recommend approval of the Final Plat for the Creek Hollow Addition Phase
2. Motion carried 5 —0.
DISCUSSION OF HANDOUTS
1. Thompson reviewed an internal e-mail and the article from the Wylie News
announcing new City Manager, Mr. Mark Roath.
2. Thompson reminded the Commissioners of the work session on August 10, 2004,
and stated that the proposal offers alternatives to several code requirements and
needs the joint consideration of Park Board, Commissioners and City Council.
3. Thompson distributed and discussed the article from Dallas Morning News that
compliments City of Wylie for controlling signs within the rights-of-way.
