Staff Comments
Community Services Director Haskins addressed the Council stating this is an application for a Special Use Permit
(SUP) for an indoor badminton court athletic facility. This facility would have nine reservation-only courts in a
building that is just about 14,000 square feet. The applicant does ask for conditions within the SUP to allow for a
minimum of 30 parking spaces, which normally per the Ordinance,this facility would be looked at as commercial
amusement or recreation and would be required to have 47 parking spaces. Haskins stated for the type of use being
proposed, being a reservation only facility with large courts,and with the applicant providing site plans from other
facilities located in surrounding cities that have been successful, staff feels okay with the proposed parking spaces.
The SUP conditions also contain the allowance of recessed brick and limestone for the exterior elevations in place
of the architectural offset requirements of the Zoning Ordinance requiring 25 percent of the facade to be offset at
least four feet. The Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) did have some questions about the possibility of
tournaments, which this facility is not equipped for, and the reservation-only system. The P&Z did recommend
approval 5-0.
Council Comments
Mayor pro to Forrester asked if this could encroach on Aldi's parking and has the applicant discussed a shared
parking agreement with Aldi. Haskins replied that staff recommended that and as of the P&Z meeting they had not
been able to contact Aldi.Amit Gupta,the Developer,replied they have not received a positive response from Aldi
yet but Meineke is open to them sharing the parking after Meineke's hours of service. Forrester asked how many
staff members would be at the location.Gupta replied they are planning for one staff member.Councilman Williams
stated he would love to see something like this in Wylie but does have concerns with the amount of parking
differential, and would like to see a parking agreement as part of a Planned Development. Mayor Porter asked if
there is a reason the parking cannot be flattened out more to allow for additional parking. Haskins replied there is a
20 percent landscaping requirement;therefore,by adding more spaces it could encroach on that requirement.Kevin
Patel, with Triangle Engineering, replied they can add one or two additional parking spaces but no more than that
due to they would not be compliant with the fire lane requirement, and added at other locations in the metroplex
they have done one parking space for every 500 square feet with no issues.Patel stated the hours of operation would
be 6-9 p.m., it would be available by reservation only, contain nine courts with one staff member,no tournaments,
and feels that the parking should be sufficient.Porter asked if they had received something in writing from Meineke
for the shared parking. Gupta replied they have received an email from them as of now. Williams asked staff what
Page 13
other uses have a I to 500 parking allowance in the Zoning Ordinance. Haskins replied automobile major or
something that does not have a lot of customers. Haskins added they could ask Meineke to do a shared parking
agreement; however,the agreement would only be tied to the property owners at the time. Williams asked for staff
recommendations for that area regarding parking issues. Haskins replied they would prefer to see something from
Aldi; however,they have tried with no success and added Aldi can place towing signs and the vehicles that park in
their parking lot could be towed.

WS1. Discuss a potential change of zoning from Neighborhood Services to Planned Development(PD-Mixed
Use) on approximately 14.24 acres, generally located on the southeast corner of Country Club Road
and Park Boulevard.
Community Services Director Haskins addressed Council stating this is 14.5 acres on the southeast comer of Park
and Country Club.The current zoning is neighborhood services and in the future land use plan it is local commercial.
At a work session with Planning and Zoning Commission,the Commissioners discussed Townhome lot size being
less than typically required,the urban feel of the architecture,the possible need for additional landscaping on areas
abutting existing residential, the positive aspects of the open space and amenities, and the dual facing of the
commercial buildings adjacent to Country Club.
Michael Ytem, with Younger Partners, addressed Council giving a presentation on Wylie Square Park including
elevations, layout, and configurations.John Martini,the developer, answered questions from Council.
Council questions and comments included who would maintain the open space, will the townhomes be for sale,
what is the proposed parking for the townhomes, will residents be able to store anything in their garage or does it
have to be their vehicle,the townhome has more of an apartment feel instead of atownhorne feel,prefer the proposed
gas station be a different commercial use,concern With the amount of parking,the look and feel of townhomes does
not match the surrounding residential developments,like the proposed open space,concern with fencing around the
retention/detention areas as it would take away from those areas, concern with the use of the space regarding the
residential aspect,like the look and feel of the outdoor space,would like to see commercial use without a residential
use on this property, what is the land use in the Comprehensive Master Plan, like the look and flow of the
commercial property, the mix of residential and commercial does not seem balanced, may be a better fit on other
property within the City,and not the right project for this area.

WS2. Discuss the FY 2023-2024 WEDC Budget.
Wylie Economic Development Corporation Executive Director Greiner addressed the Council presenting a high-
level budget overview including notable increases/decreases from the FY 2023 base budget. One notable change is
in personnel between the budget for FY 2022-23 to FY 2023-24 as a member of the personnel is planning on retiring
within two years. The increase of the additional 1.5 employees,would allow the hiring of a full-time staff member
to shadow and learn the administrative staff position for six to twelve months before the retirement,and would also -
allow the hiring of a part-time staff member(24 hours a week)who has served as an intem the last couple of years.
Greiner added the largest line items in their budget are incentives and qualified infrastructure projects. They
previously borrowed $8 million to refinance debt, and $8 million to put in capital projects and those projects will
start at the very end of this fiscal year,or the beginning of next fiscal year so most of that money that was earmarked
last year did not get spent so it will carry over to this next year resulting in expenses next year exceeding $16
million. Greiner added they are increasing the dollar amount for regional advertising, and engineering is a notable
change from last year as that is the appropriate share of the remaining projects that are slated. Of the $530,000
expense, $205,000 of that is a placeholder for the flood study for the City's 19 acres if the City chooses to move
forward with the development, or the adjacent property on FM 544.
Council questions and comments included is there a potential to have pending parcels that may sell during the fiscal
year and are they currently under contract, what is falling off that makes the incentives difference, and does staff
foresee any changes with the incentives over the next 12 months.
