Speed Limit Ordinance. This ordinance is for Thomas Street and the Wylie
Community Park area. Dr. Trimble would like speed bumps put it, but Mr.
Vickers feels these are not safe and could cause damage to cars and
citizens which the City would be liable for. Mr. Vickers advised Dr.
Trimble of this and that the City could put in ridges like those on F.M.
2514 and F.M. 1378 if the Council would approve it. Councilman Simmons
feels the speed limit ordinance would be sufficient for this area.
Councilman Percy Simmons made a motion to adopt the speed limit ordinance,
twenty miles per hour (20 m.p.h. ) from Stone Road south to the entrance
to Wylie Community Park and fifteen miles per hour (15 m.p.h. ) within
Wylie Community Park. Seconded by Cleo Adams, all in favor.
Approval of Final Plat South Second Street. Consider final approval of
plat for South Second Street, the width of street and who will pay for
the excess over 27 foot width. I.W. Santry made the statement that
Planning and Zoning recommended that the street be 37 feet back to back
due to the growth of Wylie. Also, I .W. Santry pointed out that John
Simmons from the School District said the High School would be increasing
by 35% to 40% within the next few years. I.W. Santry recommended to the
Council that the City go ahead and approve South Second Street with the
37 foot width. Partial paving would only present more problems before ....,
the other portion could be paved. In order to put the 37 foot street
in, there are three lots in which the owners would have to be approached
since there is a need of 10.5 feet from each of these lots. Joe George
said he had talked with two of these property owners and they have no
problems with this if the street is going to be improved.
Councilman Hughes recommended the 37 foot street but feels the three
property owners do need to be approached as soon as possible.
Joe George said he would donate five (5) more feet if needed in order to
get the street put in.
Cost of the extra width of the street is also a problem, Mayor Squires
feels the City should pay for the excess of the width of the street
(difference between 27 feet to 37 feet). The approximate cost for the
City will be $15,486.00 plus a portion of the bridge. Approximate cost
of the bridge is $11,000.00. The total cost for the City on paving
of South Second and the bridge is approximately $27,500.00. This is
on the 37 foot width for the street. Mayor feels lack of funds in the
City budget at this time, therefore he would only recommend a 27 foot
street.
Councilman Don Hughes made a motion to put in 37 feet back to back on
curb for South Second Street, seconded by Percy Simmons, all in favor.
Mayor Squires read a letter from Don Kreymer and Joe George in regards
to the bridge that will join Second Street across the ditch, requesting
the City pay one-third of the cost of the bridge. Councilman Simmons
proposed the City would pay only the difference from 27 foot to 37 foot
bridge, but he does not feel the City is obligated to do so and does
not want this to become a policy for the future. All Council members
agreed.
Councilman Percy Simmons made a motion that the south 280 feet be devel-
oped by normal policy (1/3 each), the north most portion to be the
responsibility of the developers up to the 27 feet, and the City will
pay the difference from 27 feet to 37 feet, City will pay for 10 feet
of the bridge. Seconded by Councilman Adams, all in favor.
Councilman Percy Simmons made a motion to approve the final plat for
South Second with the stipulation Don Kreymer get with I.W. Santry
and make the adjustments on the plans from 27 foot to 37 foot street.
Seconded by Councilman Adams, all in favor.
Councilman Don Hughes made a motion to accept the easement from Joe
George on South Second Street, seconded by Councilman Adams, all in
favor.
Joe George asked that the City accept his dedication of his property
for the South Second Street improvements. Motion made by Councilman
Simmons that the City accept the dedication of an area of 2541 square
feet along the east side of existing South Second Street which consist
of a width of 4.47 feet and an average length of 568.57 feet. Seconded
by Councilman Adams, all in favor.
Park Street was discussed by the Council but was tabled until June 14,
since there is a problem with the drainage from Third Street coming into
Park Street.
Paving of Oak Street by Village East Apartments. Don Kreymer would like
to pave this section of Oak Street which is between Fifth Street and Oaks II
Addition. Don is willing to pay his part except he said he was not aware of
the drainage problem. The existing drainage in this area now would need
an additional culvert at the apartments. If curbs and gutters are put in
there will be a need for an outlet box to discharge the drainage. The total
cost of paving and additional drainage is approximately $21,173. Don
Kreymer at this time said he could only pay $6,000. of the approximate cost.
Council and Mayor agree that due to the need for fire safety this section
of street does need to be paved. Council and Mayor feel that Don Kreymer
and Tim Hemingway should pay 50% of the cost of paving this section.
Don Kreymer said he would commit himself for more than the $6,000. Don
Kreymer feels he should not have to pay the cost of the drainage. Mayor
Squires appointed out that the drainage is part of the streets. Council-
man Percy Simmons made a motion to table this item until staff has been
given a complete set of plans and commitments. Seconded by Councilman
Adams, all in favor.
Final Acceptance of Oaks Addition II . Bill Kreymer and Mr. Vickers are
ready for the Council to approve final acceptance of Oaks Addition II
providing the "As Built Plans" are submitted to begin the one year
maintenance period. Councilman Simmons made the motion to accept final
approval for Oaks Addition II with stipulation no certificates of
occupancy be issued until the As Built Plans are received, seconded by
Councilman Hughes, all in favor.
Moratorium on Mobile Home Parks. Bryant Barry would like another study
of Mobile Home Parks and while this study is being conducted that a mora-
torium be placed on zoning for new Mobile Home Parks. Bryant Barry would
like to see Council members and Planning & Zoning members compile this
committee to study the future of Mobile Home Parks in the City of Wylie.
Councilman Percy Simmons made a motion to place a ninety day (90) moro-
torium on consideration of new Mobile Home Parks and for Mayor Squires
to appoint a committee to do this study. Seconded by Councilman Adams,
all in favor.
Councilman Hughes asked the Mayor to let Mayor Pro Tem John Akin and
Councilman William Martin represent the Council on this committee. After
a complete study of our existing Mobile Home Park Ordinance has been done,
that the committee will report back to the Council with recommendations.
Don Kreymer made the statement that Kensington Manor is ready for building
and he will be coming to City Hall with in the next few days for building
permits. He wants to keep the Council advised.
Mayor requested an Executive Session for personnel matters. Councilman
Percy Simmons made a motion to recess into Executive Session, in accordance
with Article 6252-17, subsection 2g, to discuss personnel matters. Seconded
by Councilman Don Hughes, all in favor.
Council recessed.
Mayor opened Council back into open session.
Councilman Hughes wanted to point out the problem in the alley between
North Jackson and North Ballard. There is a large hole which is holding
water and the drainage ditch needs to be cleaned. Councilman Hughes has
had several calls about this problem.
Councilman Percy Simmons made a motion to adjou ; all in favor.
