Final Plat for Creek Bend Industrial Park: Mr. Don Kreymer has
submitted a letter to the Counci•lmembers and City Manager in
regards to approval of plat with only 27 feet widths for streets
and 6 inches of concrete . City Manager Pappas said the Subdivision
Ordinance requires streets to be 36 feet wide and 8 inches of
concrete. Mayor Akin asked Mr. Kreymer about the perimeter
street . Mr. Kreymer said he had a bad time of putting money in
escrow and not knowing when the street would be improved.
Mr. Kreymer also wanted to know who would get the interest
off this account . Mayor Akin said the interest would go to the
developer who had put the money up .
Mr . Tim Hemingway of Holland Hitch said that the drive for
Holland Hitch was only 5" of concrete and had held up with all
the large trucks driving on it everyday. Why does the City
want 8" of concrete .
City Manager Pappas said the City was not saying the 6" concrete
with lime stabilized would not hold up but that the City has
on Ordinance requiring 36 feet streets with 8" of concrete .
Mayor Akin said this was the same as requesting a variance .
Mr. Kreymer ' s attorney said Section 2 (17) of the Subdivision
Ordinance does not apply to Mr. Kreymer ' s development .
Councilmember Wallace wanted to know if this would ever be a
through street when the property east of this was developed.
City Manager Pappas said it would never be a through street
because of the drainage ditch that runs between the two properties .
Motion was made by Councilmember Martin to deny approval of the
final plat for Creek Bend Industrial Park. Seconded by Council-
member Wallace. All in favor .
Final Plat for Wyndham Estates III : Subdivision of original plat .
Eubanks Lane is to be a 36 foot wide street with 8" of concrete.
Bryon Cook said they were going to pave Eubanks Lane with what
is called two course penetration. Councilmember Wallace wanted
to know if Eubanks'. Lane would become a City liability. City
Manager Pappas said it would become a City liability.
Bryon Cook said that when the addition first came to the City,
the developers said that Old 78 would be paved. Mr. Cook is
saying the developer will see that Eubanks Lane will be paved with
2 course penetration. Mayor Akin said the problem was the paving
should be concrete not two course penetration. If this street
is not put in concrete now, then the entire tax roll of Wylie
will be paying for concrete in the future.
Escrow would be an interest bearing account , with interest going
to the developer. Motion was made by Councilmember Wallace to
approve final plat with the developer abiding by the subdivision
regulations . Seconded by Councilmember Martin. All in favor .
Preliminary plat for "The Meadows" : Engineer said having to
put up half of the cost of concrete streets for the perimeter
streets for this subdivision would kill this development . Mayor
Akin said the developer would have to follow the subdivision
regulations . The developer replied there was no way to have
the 36 ' concrete streets with the large drainage ditches . The
Engineer asked if the streets had to be done now or could money
be put in an escrow account . City Manager Pappas said that is
what the Subdivision Ordinance states: either put in concrete
streets or put money in escrow. Mr. Bill Payne said he was a
mayor in a small town (Rowlett) and he understands the Mayor
and Council ' s position. Mr. Payne said he held a partnership
in this development and would hate to see the City lose this
project due to the perimeter streets .
