Mr. Maples stated that in order to verify the findings of the applicant's TIS, staff authorized the City's traffic consultant Stanton Foerster(Foerster Engineering,LLC),to review the Innovative Transportation Solutions TIS. According to the City's traffic consultant, several items or issues should be noted prior to taking action on the conceptual plan under consideration. Mr. Maples stated that the Parks board reviewed this case at their October 26, 1998,Park Board meeting and those approved minutes will be forwarded to the Planning and Zoning Commission at the Request of the Board Mr. Maples stated that as referenced in the minutes, the Board was in general agreement with the concept presented and indicated that the proposal should be brought back before the Board for a formal vote when a preliminary plat is filed. Mr.Maples advised Council that at the February 2, 1999,Planning and Zoning Commission meeting,a motion to recommend approval with noted stipulations failed by a 3-3 vote and that specifically, any motion resulting in tie vote automatically defaults to a recommendation for denial. Mr. Maples advised Council that as a result, a three-fourths majority vote by City Council shall be required for approval. (6 votes in favor of approval) Mr. Maples listed the specific stipulations recommended by the Commission and agreed to by the applicant as follows: (He also noted that the applicant has revised the Conceptual Plan accordingly.) Single Family lots backing to 100 year Floodplain shall be restricted to use of 4' wrought iron fencing on the Floodplain line. The wrought iron fence shall extend a minimum of 20' along the side property line; The road adjacent to Park Tract I shall be a 60' collector; Parking shall be provided by the developer in Park Tracts H and I.

Wylie should maintain control of how this street is used in the future; and The perimeter screening will consist of a masonry fence which may incorporate some wrought iron and landscape sections. Wylie City Council Minutes February 9, 1999 Page 3 Mr.Maples stated that additional elements/concessions discussed and offered by the applicant but not shown on the Conceptual Plan are as follows: Reduction in the number of SF-3 (Single Family Residential)lots; and Increase the number of SF-1 (Single Family Residential)lots. Mr. Maples was then available for questions from Council. Council had some questions regarding the number of lots the plan had been reduced by since its original plan and concerns regarding the school district boundaries. Mr. Maples stated that there was a reduction of 205 lots and that there was a possibility of realignment of boundaries with the PISD and WISD. Mr. Maples also stated that the seven items negotiated were concerns of the Planning and Zoning Commission as well as limited SF-3 zoning. Mr. Gary Defrain was present and addressed the Council. Mr. Defrain stated that this process has been on going for seven months and involved five submittals. He stated that he originally proposed 1260 lots and has made an effort to work with staff and the comp plan with regard to his submittals. Mr. Defrain then gave Council an overview and his intent of the proposed development. Mr. Defrain stated that he intends to provide an upgrade to the community and that the proposed SF-3 development is not entry level. He then pointed out to Council the many features of the proposal detailing the street design, use of open space and Community Center. Mr. Defrain stated that he hopes to provide a bench mark for future development and that the proposed design would create a sense of community. Mr. Defrain then provided an overlay of the aerial showing the proposed land use. When asked about fencing, Mr. Defrain responded that there would not use wooden fencing and that wrought iron would be required. He stated with regard to storm water,a detention system would be used to control,thereby creating an amenity. There was some concern regarding the maintenance of said system. Mr. Defrain stated that he did visit with Mr. MacLean prior to his leaving, and it was Mr. MacLean's opinion that this type of system was maintainable. With regard to traffic concerns,Mr. Defrain stated that the street design was intended to slow traffic. Mr.Defrain stated that with regard to land use,it was his understanding that Council had suggested no new SF-3 development therefore the Commission may not have been comfortable approving the proposed development. Again,Mr.Defrain emphasized that this in not an entry level product and referred to the Phase I lots on the map. Mr.Defrain stated that he had met with the Mayor on the School district issue. He stated that in order to realign the boundaries, an equal trade or return would be required and that he would work with city staff on the realignment. Mr.Defrain closed stating that his proposal is providing 26 acres of open space and an average lot size of 9,000 square feet. He attributed the larger lot size to the street design. He stated that he felt he did comply with the spirit of the comp plan and commended staff for all the work they have done. Mr. Defrain was then available for questions from Council. Councilman Scott asked if Mr. Defrain knew who his builders would be. Mr. Defrain stated that at this point, he did not,but they would not be entry level builders,stating that he has too much invested in the design for entry level builders.

Mr. Porter is a member of the Planning and Zoning Commission. With no additional response from the audience,the Mayor then closed the public hearing. Councilman Scott made a motion to approve the zone change from A (Agricultural) to PD (Planned Development)for single family,multifamily,business, and open space uses,for the property generally located at the northeast corner of McCreary Road and McMillan Road and being all of a certain 327.485 acre tract out of the John W.
