A study was done on some surrounding cities and cities close to same population and is included in the
packet. Also included were comments from Commissioner Tommy Pulliam, who was not able to attend
the meeting.
•
Mr. Porter briefly went over Commissioner Pulliam comments, that agreed to keep the east and west
zones the same for roadway fees, with recommended rate of$400 to$500 per service unit.
Board Discussion
Commissioner Plunk asked for clarification on the units versus population numbers for the water and
wastewater rates. Staff responded that there are existing single uses on Agricultural property, which
lowers the population number.Staff also stated that first and foremost the population of City of Wylie and
the population of water serves. Chair Owens stated to clarify, the water and wastewater rates are not
separated by east and west zones.
Commissioner Plunk questioned the cost of roadways fees. Staff responded that construction costs do not
decrease over time, rather they increase. Mr. Joe Carter, Birkhoff, Hendricks and Carter, LLP, 11910
Greenville Avenue,Suite 600, Dallas,Texas, stated that with increase of construction costs,the amount of
growth available in the future decreases. The impact fees can only be collected on the percentage of the
construction that is attributable to growth. As the potential for growth goes down, the potential for
available units to collect the fee goes down, and if improvements not built, then the price per unit
increases.
Mr. Sam Satterwhite, Director of WEDC, stated that five years ago the WEDC were big proponents of
equalized fees for the two zones of the roadway impact fees. Mr. Satterwhite asked the Commissioners
how to treat development within the community. He stated that if a project came in on the east side, the
roadway fees are significantly increased compared to the west side. .�.,
Commissioner Emerson stated when comparing the rates with neighboring cities, the consideration for
land acquisition cost is important. Commissioner Rogers stated that in his experience, the west side has
FM 544, and the nonresidential development is there. He is a good proponent of equalization, and
increasing the roadway fees 128 percent on the east side from the current rates will stifle the small
business developer.Commissioner Rogers further stated to equalize the roadway fees on both the east and
west side will bring in more businesses to the east side because the property costs are lower.
After much discussion on the roadway impact fees, Chair Owens polled the Commissioners to the rates
recommended, and agreed to adjust the water rate to $4,294.24 and wastewater rate to $914.63 as
proposed in the updated study. For the roadway fees the Commissioners agreed have the adjust the west
fees to $914.00 and the east to match the west rates. Commissioner Plunk and Chair Owens
recommended that the east roadway fee be increased to$2,000.00.
Commissioners Action
A motion was made by Commissioner Riner, and seconded by Commissioner Emerson, to appoint
Commissioner Rogers to file the written comments with the Planning Manager no later than before the 5th
business day before the date of the public hearing to be held by the City Council regarding Land Use
Assumptions,Capital Improvements Plan,and Impact Fees. A vote was taken and carried 5—0.

MEMORANDUM
TO: COUNCIL
FROM: IMPACT FEE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
SUBJECT: LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN AND
IMPACT FEES
DATE: 8/26/2019
CC: FILE
The Impact Fee Advisor}' Committee met with City staff on July 16, 2019 and August 6, 2019 to
evaluate and give comments on the proposed water, wastewater impact fees and roadway fees and
related relevant information.
The IFAC recommends adjusting the water rate to $4,294.24 and wastewater rate to S914.63 as
proposed in the updated study. Commissioners agreed to adjust the west roadway fees to $914.00.
Three Commissions recommended the cast roadway fees to match the west roadway fees at$914.00,
citing concerns of discouraging development due to fee rates, to reflect the recommendation of the
previous IFAC, and to reflect the recommendation from the Economic Development Corp. Two
Commissioners recommended that the cast roadway fee be increased to S2,000.00, citing lower real
estate costs on the east side and the recommended fee being lower than neighboring cities.
