Abstract No. 22, the M. Phelan, Survey, Abstract No. 695, and the D.Williams Survey,Abstract
No. 1021,City of Wylie,Collin County,Texas,being out of a called 629.406 acre tract conveyed to
Birmingham Land,Ltd. as described in a deed recorded in County Clerk's File No.94-0029675 of
the Deed Records of Collin County,Texas.
Mr. Claude Thompson addressed this item providing Council with a brief history of the request for final plat and
waiver of alley approval. Mr. Thompson stated that the Final Plat of the Birmingham Farms Phase 2A Addition
includes 70.383 acres and will create 226 single-family residential lots and that the Plat will also create two public
parks totaling approximately 5 acres, as well as parts of the Sanden Boulevard, Westgate Way and Ann Drive
collector streets. The property is zoned Single Family-3 Residential(SF-3),requiring a minimum lot size of 7,200
square feet. A majority of the lots exceed the minimum required size.
Mr. Thompson stated that on June 15, 1999, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial of a
Preliminary Plat for the subject property,then identified as Phase 2 of the Birmingham Farms Addition,following
the City staff's recommendation of denial. Staff and Commission expressed concern for traffic congestion,open
drainage and park land dedication. However,the City Council approved the Preliminary Plat on July 13,1999,as
Phase 2 of the Birmingham Farms Addition. That earlier-approved Preliminary Plat totaled approximately 78.8
acres and included an additional 64 Two-Family(2F)Residential lots on 23.7 acres as well as 219 Single-Family-3
(SF-3) lots on 55.1 acres. The Final Plat under current consideration is the SF-3 portion of the approved
Preliminary Plat, and the 2F portion of the Preliminary Plat is represented by the proposed Birmingham Farms
Phase 2B Final Plat which is also on the current agenda for the Council's consideration. The Preliminary Plat
approved in 1999 did not include alleys,nor was discussion of alleys or a waiver thereof recorded in the Minutes
of either the Planning and Zoning Commission or the City Council.
Mr. Thompson stated that Section 2.9 of the City of Wylie Paving Standards (Ordinance No. 94-3) states that
"alleys shall be provided in all residential areas and shall be paved with concrete. He stated that the City Council
may waive the residential alley requirement upon determination by the Council that it is in the best interest of the
City." Mr. Thompson stated that the applicant contends that the City Council specifically granted a waiver of
alleys by its approval of the Preliminary Plat.
On June 5,2001,the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to table the decision on the Final Plat to allow the
applicant and staff to evaluate where alleys could be added. At the June 19, 2001 Planning and Zoning
Commission meeting, the Commission voted 4-2 to deny the Final Plat for the Birmingham Farms Phase 2A
because it lacked the required alleys,and did not adequately address concerns of open drainage and traffic access
and circulation. An initial motion to approve with some alleys as proposed by the applicant died for lack of a
second.Mr.Thompson stated that staff is recommending approval of the Final Plat and of the requested waiver of
the residential alley requirement and that the applicant has demonstrated that the functions of alleys have been
accommodated by other appropriate measures,and that the addition of alleys at this stage of the planning process
will result in a reduction in the size of lots and/or a reduction in the number of lots.
The Mayor confirmed with the City Attorney that it would require a majority vote,(4-0)for Council to override
the denial by the Commission.
Councilman Worley made a motion to approve the Final Plat for the Birmingham Farms Phase 2A Addition,
including a waiver of alleys,being all of a certain 70.383 acre tract of land situated in the C. Atterbury Survey,
Abstract No. 22,the M Phelan,Survey,Abstract No. 695,and the D.Williams Survey,Abstract No. 1021,City of

Records of Collin County, Texas, and being out of a called 629.406 acre tract conveyed to
Birmingham Land,Ltd. as described in a deed recorded in County Clerk's File No.94-0029675 of
the Deed Records of Collin County,Texas.
Mr.Claude Thompson addressed this item providing Council with a history of the request. Mr.Thompson
stated that the Final Plat of the Birmingham Farms Phase 2B Addition includes 22.973 acres and will create 65
two-family residential(duplex)lots. The property is zoned Two-Family Residential(2F),requiring a minimum lot
size of 8,500 square feet. All of the proposed lots significantly exceed the minimum required size.
Mr. Thompson stated that at their June 15, 1999 meeting,the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended
denial of a Preliminary Plat for the subject property,then identified as Phase 2 of the Birmingham Farms Addition,
following the City staff's recommendation of denial. Staff and Commission expressed concern for traffic
congestion,open drainage and park land dedication. However,the City Council approved the Preliminary Plat on
July 13, 1999, as Phase 2 of the Birmingham Farms Addition. That earlier-approved Preliminary Plat totaled
approximately 78.8 acres and included an additional 219 Single-Family-3(SF-3)lots on 55.1 acres as well as 64
Two-Family(2F)Residential lots on 23.7 acres. The Final Plat under current consideration is the 2F portion of the
approved Preliminary Plat, and the SF-3 portion of the Preliminary Plat is represented by the proposed
Birmingham Farms Phase 2A Final Plat which is also on the current agenda for the Council's consideration. The

"alleys shall be provided in all residential areas and shall be paved with concrete. The City Council may waive the
residential alley requirement upon determination by the Council that it is in the best interest of the City." The
applicant contends that the City Council specifically granted a waiver of alleys by its approval of the Preliminary
Plat. The applicant has requested a waiver of the alley requirement,and must clearly demonstrate to the Council
that the addition of alleys will create a hardship to the development, as well as that alleys are not necessary
because the major functions of alleys(public and private utilities,drainage and service vehicular access/egress)are
adequately accommodated by other means.
On June 5, 2001,the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to table the decision on the Final Plat to allow the
applicant and staff to evaluate where alleys could be added. At the June 19, 2001 Planning and Zoning
Commission meeting, the Commission voted 4-2 to deny the Final Plat for the Birmingham Farms Phase 2B,
because it failed to provide the required alleys. Mr.Thompson stated that staff recommends approval of the Final
Plat and of the requested waiver of the residential alley requirement. The applicant has demonstrated that the
functions of alleys have been accommodated by other appropriate measures,and that the addition of alleys at this
stage of the planning process will result in a reduction in the size of lots and/or a reduction in the number of lots.

requiring a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet. A majority of the lots exceed the minimum required size.
At their June 1, 1999 meeting,the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial of a Preliminary Plat
for the subject property, then identified as Phase I of the Birmingham Farms Addition, expressing concern for
traffic congestion, limited points of ingress/egress, open drainage, park dedication and thoroughfare screening.
However,based on the staff's recommendation that the Plat complied with all applicable subdivision regulations

Commission meeting,the Commission voted 6-0 to deny the Final Plat for the Meadows of Birmingham because it
did not provide the required alleys and did not adequately address drainage concerns. Mr. Thompson stated that
staff is recommending approval of the Final Plat and of the requested waiver of the residential alley requirement.
The applicant has demonstrated that the functions of alleys have been accommodated by other appropriate
measures,and that the addition of alleys at this stage of the planning process will result in a reduction in the sizes
