Phillips gave a comparison of what other cities charge for their impact fees. Shaw said
that the City of Wylie is not the highest and that the city is not close to the maximum.

it appears most subdivisions are built out and that more subdivisions would be developed.

should pay their share. MacLeanstated that you must charge impact fees to everyone.

completed and recommendations to Council would be reviewed.
