favor Pro ` em Hughes said that items no . 13 , 14 and 15 will
be combined for discussion by City hanager Gus Pappas .
City Nanager Gus Pappas had been contacted by the Cities of ..,�.
Nturphy and Parker voicing concern about a wastewater
treatment plant being built between the Cities of Wylie ,
Murphy and Parker . This wastewater treatment plant will be
flowing into :Muddy Creek which comes through Wylie . Some
eight or nine months ago a Mir . Holigan went to Murphy with a
piece of property just outside of urphy ' s city limits with
the ideal of developing a large mobile hone park . hr .
lioligan thought he would work with the City of Murphy on
zoning and services such as water and sewer . Murphy is
having problems serving water and sewer to their area and
does not feel they will beable to provide proper service to
this property . The Cities of Murphy and Parker have strong
feelings about not wanting a mobile home park due to the
fact they do not have an ordinance to help control and
maintain an area such as this one . The City of Parker is
ruling the ETj to the City of 'Murphy since Murphy has
annexed a piece of property just across the road from the
land belonging to Mr . ioli gan . The Cities of Murphy and
Parker have come to the City of Wylie due to the fact that
Parker has no zoning or subdivision ordinance and Murphy has
a weak zoning and subdivision ordinances .
Mr . Holigan does have knowledge of all the above facts and
has decided to proceed . He has petitioned directly to the
State for a wastewater treatment plant since there are no
services available . The City of Wylie has not been
contacted about such a petition and has sent numerous
letters requesting the right to be heard on the subject of
wastewater treatment plant . This wastewater treatment plant
is to flow into :Muddy Creek and would create a bad problem
for the City of Wylie in taking care of the additional
growth caused in the creek from this plant . Until Wylie
entered into this discussion , there was no water or
wasterwater services available to this mobile home park . In
order to make our objection work, it would be necessary for
a large sewer line be laid to to this property and offered
to this mobile home pare with a bulk rate for sewer
discharge being billed to the City of ;Murphy . The City of
i• urphy would then take care of annexing this property into
their city limits .
Also , the Cities of Nurphy and Parker has requested that the
City of Wylie join in with them to hire an attorney out of
Austin to represent the three cities in court to voice their
opinion of this treatment plant . The cost of this would be
approximately $1 , 200 . 00 per city .
The ideal boundary line between :Murphy and Wylie has been
discussed and decided that the county road shown on the
throughfare maps that comes between Murphy and Wylie and
ends at West PM 544 just about a mile from Steel Industrial
Park. The City of Wylie needs to proceed and sign a written
..,._ agreement with I:iurphy for this boundary . The above piece of
property that has been discussed is located on the east side
of this houndary line and would be in the Wylie area . As
soon as the City becomes home ule , this property would be
is the cities LTJ .
:r . noligan has come to the City of ylie and said he would
annex his property into Wylie . As the city manager for
Wylie , I had to tell his I would need to come had : to tho
council and talk with you since all I have brought before
the Council was to run a sewer line to this property . As
city mana2er , I also told him he would have to bring a
written agreement signed by himself and the City of linrphy
stating that ,iurphy would relaease his property from their
ETJ to the City of Wylie for annexation .
If the city backs away from this anne::ation then :,1r . holinan
will go the the State for the permit for a wasterwater
treatment plant , stating that there are no services
available in this area . The state will grant him the
wastatewater permit .
Lois brings up another area a person has come to my office
in resards to . It is approximately 40 acres located south
of Wylie where CC 544 ends at Dallas and Collin County
lines . The party wants to develope a mobile home park in
this area and currently there are two mobile home parks that
would he on either side of this property in Question . This
party is ready to pay for the water and sewer lines to he
laid to his property from the point of our current water and
sewer lines . The party is also wanting to annex into the
City of Wylie . This party has road the citys mobile home
ordinance and only had questions on the parts of the
ordinance that lies been found to be questionable in court .
City Manager Cu, Pappas wanted the Council to take a look a
the mobile home ordinance that has been established in
Wylie . This is a Tood document but in certain areas would
be questionable in a court of law . I., mobile Lome nark
ordinance is to allow a city to control the parks not to
disallow them. The City of bylie has a mobile Lome park
ordinance that has set up lots for one mobile home that is
larger than the lots for Single faimly 1 (new our new zoning
ordinance) . Another section of this ordinance that is
questionable is the annual fee . Is the council aware the
way this ordinance is written , that the mobile home parks
that have existed in Wylie for some time will have to pay
this annual fee . The annual fee for these mobile home parks
are as follows :
Sachse Mobile home Park 5 lots S 750 . 00
Turner iobille . home Carl: 6 lots J.
Butane Mobile Home Park 105 lots $15 , 750 . 00
Glenn Knoll i- obl.ie H . k. 171 lots : 25 , 650.00
TOTAL FEES TO BE COLLECTED $43 , 050.00
The current fee per lot is $150. 00 and is questionable if it
would stand up in court . If this is what the council wants ,
then statments will go out to all of the above parks with
the fees to be paid by Jan . 10th . As city manager , I would
suggest that this be amended and at this time that the fee
be suspended until council has time to think about the fee .
City Manager Gus Pappas told the Mayor Pro Tem Hughes that
was all he had unless there were questions .
