Skorburg Company has requested to construct an estate residential street section on portions of the Braddock Place property that serve lots with square footage equal to or greater than 16,000 square feet. Council/Developer Discussion Councilman Goss asked if this request was strictly for the streets. City Engineer Hoisted replied that it was. Councilwoman Culver asked if the request was for Phase II had Skorburg completed all items in Phase I. City Engineer Hoisted replied that to his knowledge they had. Councilwoman Culver asked if Council could ask the applicant questions regarding the Wooded Creek Subdivision. City Manager Manson replied that the way the item was posted, discussion regarding Wooded Creek could not be discussed under this agenda item for Braddock Place; however, staff could research and bring back information to the Council at a later date. Councilwoman Culver asked if the item could be tabled for further discussion and research regarding other developments. City Manager Manson stated that this could be done by motion. Brian Reed, representing Skorburg Company, addressed Council stating that Skorburg was requesting to construct an estate residential street section on portions of the Braddock Place property that serve lots with square footage equal to, or greater than, 16,000 square feet.

Consider, and act upon, Ordinance No. 2011-24 amending Ordinance No. 2006-32 modifying the City of Wylie Drought Contingency Plan. (C. Holsted, City Engineer) Minutes October 11, 2011 Wylie City Council Page 4 Staff Comments City Engineer Hoisted addressed Council stating that the North Texas Municipal Water District has requested that member cities initiate Stage 3 of the Drought Contingency Plan effective November 1, 2011. The goal of Stage 3 is a 10% reduction in water use and increased awareness in ongoing water conservation efforts. NTMWD is concerned about the declining water levels of the reservoirs and the projections that the drought will persist or intensify through December 2011. In addition to the extreme temperatures and continuing drought conditions, NTMWD currently can't pump water from Lake Texoma due to the presence of invasive zebra mussels. Lake Texoma normally provides almost a quarter of NTMWD's raw water supply. Hoisted explained the model plan prepared by NTMWD recommended that in Stage 3, watering be limited to one day per week, and once every two weeks from November 1st to March 31st. The current City of Wylie plan allows two days per week watering in Stage 3; however, the time of day that watering is allowed is greatly reduced, and the plan does not have the reduction to once every two weeks from November 1st to March 31st. Hoisted noted the proposed Ordinance would modify the current plan to match the NTMWD recommendations. City Manager Manson commented that each member city would implement a slightly different Stage 3 contingency plan; however, the Stage 3 plan being proposed by Wylie tonight mirrors the recommendations made by the North Texas Municipal Water District because it is the right thing to do. Councilwoman Culver asked that staff insure that residents are educated in the new requirements for Stage 3 as approved. �.. Council Action A motion was made by Councilman White, seconded by Councilwoman Spillyards to adopt Ordinance No. 2011-24 amending Ordinance No. 2006-32 modifying the City of Wylie Drought Contingency Plan. A vote was taken and the motion passed 5-0 with Mayor Pro Tem Byboth and Councilman Jones absent.
