APPROVE THE AMENDMENT TO ORDINANCE 83-18i DELETING PARAGRAPH
"L" SECTION 7 . 01 OF THE ORDINANCE : This amendment is placed
before you at the request of the attorney for Southfork
Mobile Home Park and calls for the deletion of the phrase
which regulates the age of any mobile home being placed in
the park initially . Our ordinance does not require that a
mobile home be removed from the park after it is four years
old , but it does state that a mobile home over four ( 4 )
model years old cannot be moved in to a mobile home park
within the City . There have been some homes moved into
Southfork older than the four model years and their owners
have not received certificates of occupancy from the City .
City Manager Gus Pappas said that Larry Jackson , the City
Attorney , has agreed with the findings of the attorney for
Southfork . Mr . Jackson has requested that the Council amend
this portion of the ordinance . It is also Mr . Jackson ' s
opinion that Council could amend this ordinance to state the
mobile homes must have the Hud Approved seal on them .
Council Member Spence asked how old is the Hud seal? City
Manager Gus Pappas said he believed it began in 1976 . Code
Enforcement officer has stated that 10 to 12 units at
Southfork are older than the four ( 4 ) model years and this
is what has brought these questions up . Council Member
Donovan wanted to know if Hud let a 10 year old be approved
would we not be openind us up for problems . City Manager
Gus Pappas said the City Attorney is stating this would be
hard for him to defend in Court and recommends to Council to
make this amendment . Council Member Donovan asked when does
Hud inspect these homes and place the seal on them . City
Manager Gus Pappas said at the time of construction .
Mr . Daivd Stanchak , Attorney for Southfork , was present and
said he wrote the opinion and had talked with Mr . Jackson ,
the City Attorney . The Council has the same concerns about
the type of housing that will come into Wylie as the owners
and manager of Southfork Mobile Home Park . Mr . Stanchak
said the State of Texas has reviewed and adopted the Hud
approved homes and the law states that municipalities must
allow homes that carry the Hud approved seal . Mr . Stanchak WIMP
suggest to the Council to amend the section of the ordinance
stating four years .
87
Mr . Fred Ouellette of 407 Woodhollow Dr . said he believes
the Council should consider conditions and age of Mobile
Homes . Dallas County depreciates Mobile Homes and this
lowers the taxes . Mr . Ouellette said he was not sure if
Central Appraisal District does the same . Fir . Ouellette
also said that the Charter states that a petition has to be
brought to Council to have an ordinance changed . Is this
correct . City Manager Gus Pappas said no , any person can
request an item be on the agenda whether it is in regards to
an ordinance or other matters . The provision you are
speaking of is a Initiative , Referendum and Recall , which
will allow the qualified voters of the City of Wylie the
power to propose ordinances to the city council , to require
reconsideration by the city council of any adopted
ordinances and to revoke the office of any elected city
official .
The manager of Southfork Mobile Home Park said that the
homes have to be inspected by them prior to moving them into
Southfork . At the time they inspected these homes , there
was skirting around them and porches on them , which will
make a difference in how they look . The homes that are red
tagged in Southfork , have not had the skirting or porches
put on them yet .
Mr . Mark Travis from Southfork Mobile Home Park is concerned
about these homes . He was told they had to inspect their
homes before they can come into the park and now that they
are in the City is putting red tags on them .
Mrs . Cotie of Southfork Mobile Home Park said the Council
should check the rules from this park . The owners have to
have decks and under skirting plus Southfork owners are
doing a lot of landscaping .
Council Member Spence wanted to know how many homes have
been red tagged . The manager said a total of six ( 6 ) .
Council Member Spence said to keep the ordinance and let the
people go before the Zoning Board of Adjustments . City
Manager Gus Pappas said he would have to check , but this is
a violation of an ordinance not a problem with building
codes .
Council Member Donovan said we had to have something to
cover us . Now , the owners are doing their best to maintain
a good park , but what if they sell and the new owners do not
try to maintain a good park .
Motion was made by Council Member Spence to leave the
ordinance as is , including the phase of four ( 4 ) model
years . Seconded by Council Member Donovan . The vote was as
follows : Mayor Hughes - against , Council Member Westerhof -
in favor , Council Member Spence - in favor , Council Member

for review and approval . The staff has found the plat to be
in compliance and recommends approval . The Planning and
Zoning also recommends approval . City Manager Gus Pappas
said the alley provision in the subdivision ordinance has
been waived since the alley would not serve any purpose ,
except for this one street which backs up to Lake Ranch
Estates . The residents in Lake Ranch Estates has requested
no alley . Mr . Jim McKnight was present and said he would be
glad to answer any questions that the Council might have .
Chris Dictota on Douglas Court in Wylie wanted to know the
minimum square foot of the houses . City Manager Gus Pappas
said a minimum square feet of 1800 . Chris Dictota said that
in Plano the developers are made to put up brick walls to
separate subdivisions . Could this be done here or could a
restriction be put on the homes for side entry garages .
City Manager Gus Pappas said this is not a requirement of
the Wylie subdivision ordinance . There is a fence
requirement on developers separating retail from
AMMO
residential .
Mr . Bob Galvan of Lake Ranch Estates has debated this
subdivision , they have no problem with no alley but would
like to see a masonry wall .
Jim McKnight said he appreciated the concers about the wall ,
but there is no provision in the Subdivision Ordinance about
a wall .
Martha Oliver of Hensley Road , wanted to know about the
sewer lines . City Manager Gus Pappas said it will be
handled like other developers are doing . Putting in a tank
until the City can put in the lift station . The City has

the first one has been installed and is working well . This
will probably be used until the main sewer line and Muddy
