ACTION AGENDA COMMUNICATION
Public Hearing
July 14, 1998
Issue
Hold a public hearing and consider an amendment to Section 27. Sign Regulations of the
Zoning Ordinance of the City of Wylie with the addition of a definition of Weekend Directional
Signs and rules for the regulation of such signs.
Background
The increase in development and the addition of several subdivisions with new builders will
bring an anticipated increase in weekend directional signs. A charge for such signs is
currently in the Fee Schedule, but there are no regulations in Section 27, Sign Regulations,
of the Zoning Ordinance, or in the Code of Ordinances which regulate weekend directional
signs. Two public hearings were held by the Planning and Zoning Commission and there was
no comment received.
Several area cities have similar ordinances that vary greatly in the way that they deal with
weekend directional signs. Some cities do not allow weekend directional signs. The City of
Plano prohibits all weekend directional signs. They have a contractor hired to pick up these
signs on the weekend. According to Susan Thompson, Code Compliance Specialist with the
City of Plano, over four hundred signs were picked up on a recent weekend. Some
ordinances are very abbreviated and deal with only times the signs will be out and some are
very lengthy and deal with every aspect, from times allowed, to a description of the vehicle
that places the signs.
Section 27 of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Wylie was deleted and replaced in its
entirety by Ordinance 93-22, enacted on April 13, 1993. This ordinance makes up our current
Sign Regulations. The deleted provisions contained the following definition and some rules
as follows:
Sign, directional-A "directional sign"is any sign temporarily used in directing traffic to
residential section of the city. Permitted in all districts.
Action Agenda Communication
Public Hearing-Amendment to Sign Ordinance
Page 1
Background -continued
Under Projection Over Private Property, an exception existed:
Directional signs, in residential areas, will be permitted in the right of way
between the hours of 12:00 noon on Friday until 12:00 noon on Monday with
the following limitations: They shall be placed only in front of vacant lots, only
one (1) sign for each builder and/or developer at each location and each sign
of an individual builder and/or developer shall be separated by a minimum of
sixty feet(60), in other than residential areas the stipulation concerning vacant
lots does not apply, however all other restrictions apply.
Under Temporary Signs, a section stated:
Temporary directional signs are to be used for the exclusive purpose of
directing traffic to residential sections of the city. Such signs shall bear only the
name of such sections and the directional arrow. Permits for directional signs
shall be granted for a period of time not to exceed six (6) months, at the
expiration of which time, renewal applications must be filed.
Below is a summary of various other examples. The complete sections of the ordinances from
the City of Frisco and the City of Richardson that deal with directional signs is included
because they are so brief. The ordinances of the City of Sachse and the City of Mansfield are
summarized and compared side by side because of their length. Copies of these two
ordinances are included as attachments at the end of this communication.
Richardson: Temporary home builder directional signs located off the premises being
advertised, providing such signs do not exceed four square feet in
area, and providing that no more than one such sign per block is allowed
for each builder. The sign must contain the name of the subdivision or
the name of the builder or the name of the building corporation and may
contain the corporation logo and directional indicator. Such signs may
not be located in street medians, obstruct vision of traffic or pedestrians,
nor be constructed of cardboard. Signs must be kept well painted and in
good condition and may be utilized only Friday at 12:00 noon until the
following Monday at 12:00 noon.
These types of signs are classified as a "Minor Sign" by the City of Richardson and do not
require approval by any municipal agency prior to erection.

Frisco: Temporary real estate directional signs. Permission is granted as a
special privilege to home builders to erect temporary, non-illuminated
directional signs for weekend advertising. Signs shall not be placed
earlier than 1:00 p.m. Friday and shall be removed no later than 1:00
p.m. the following Monday. Such signs and their placement must be
approved by the building inspector. Any signs in place prior to or after
the appointed times will be removed and impounded by the city.

Both ordinances require the signs to be made of durable, weatherproof material and do not allow signs
to be placed within any visibility triangle or where traffic and pedestrian visibility will be blocked or
obstructed. The Mansfield ordinance does not allow safety signs or signals to be blocked. The
ordinance from the City of Sachse even covers details regulating the vehicles and personnel that place
and pick up the signs. These details include lights, signs on the vehicles, and vests worn by the
personnel. Included are copies of the specific requirements of both of the ordinances the above
Action Agenda Communication

Background -continued
summary has been taken from.
A definition will need to added to Section 27.1 Definitions. A suitable definition would be,
"Sign, Weekend Directional. Temporary, non-illuminated signs erected within the City right-of-
way for the sole purpose of providing directional instructions to the locations of developments
or subdivisions."The other requirements will be added to Section 27. 20 Temporary Signs as
an added section "g) Weekend Directional Signs:..."
Other proposed regulations would include:
a) Signs must be made of durable, weatherproof material and must be kept in good repair.
b) Signs shall not block or obscure visibility of any traffic, pedestrian, safety sign or signal,
or be in any visibility triangle.
c) Owner of any directional sign shall be responsible for obtaining a permit for each sign.
d) Any sign in violation of any provision of the ordinance will be impounded by the City of
Wylie.
e) Any vehicles installing signs shall have a flashing yellow light, a reflective sign warning
of frequent stops, and a standard reflective slow moving triangle displayed to the rear.
The vehicle must use only the right-hand lane. The persons installing or removing the
signs must wear reflective vests.
f) All signs will be placed and picked up prior to 9:00 pm.
g) If three (3) violations occur within a 90 day period by the same permit holder, the permit
may be revoked for up to a maximum of six(6) months. No more than one (1) violation
will be counted against a permit holder in a single weekend. Repeat violations, after a
suspension, may result in up to a twelve (12) month ban for sign placement within the
City. Signs found in violation of any of the above requirements will be impounded. A fee
up to $25 per sign shall be paid to the City at the time the signs are returned to the
owner. Signs not claimed after ten (10) days will be disposed of.
Board Recommendations
The Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend to the City Council to
amend Section 27. Sign Regulations of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Wylie with the
addition of a definition of Weekend Directional Signs and rules for the regulation of such signs.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended all of the "proposed' changes.
Action Agenda Communication
Public Hearing-Amendment to Sign Ordinance
Paae 4
Financial Considerations
A fee of $75 per sign per year is already in the Fee Schedule and will be charged at the
beginning of the next calendar year. Notices will be sent to all builders advertising in the City
of Wylie immediately after the effective date of the ordinance. This notice will include the price
for the sign permits and a complete listing of all of the rules that are adopted. The permits for
the weekend directional signs will be implemented on January 1,1999.
A windshield survey was conducted on a recent weekend in the City of Wylie and 387 signs
were counted. At $75 per sign/per year, that would total $29,025.
Other Considerations
Section 35 of the Zoning Ordinance grants the City Council the authority to amend, supplement,
or change the regulations in the Zoning Ordinance after receiving a report from the Planning and
Zoning Commission and after public hearings required by law.
Staff Recommendations
Staff recommends that the City of Wylie Zoning Ordinance be amended to include a definition
and regulations for the control of weekend directional signs.

WYLIE CITY COUNCIL
ACTION AGENDA COMMUNICATION
July 14, 1998
Issue:
Consider and Act Upon a Final Plat for the Dollar General Addition, proposed by Jackson &
Associates Land Surveyors, generally located at the southeast corner of SH 78 and Marble
Street and being all of Lots 1-8, Block 15, of the Railroad Addition, City of Wylie, Collin
County, Texas.
Background:
The final plat under consideration is for the Dollar General Addition. The applicant is
replatting eight(8) lots into two(2) in order to develop the eastern portion of the property with
a dollar general retail store. The property is currently vacant, zoned R (Retail), and platted
as Lots 1 through 8, Block 15, of the Railroad Addition (1.628 acres).
Other Considerations:
• At the June 1, 1998, Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, the Commission
voted by 4-2 to favorably recommend this case. However, prior to this case being
heard by the City Council at their June 9, 1998, meeting, the applicant indicated
that it was their intent to construct an access driveway facility to SH 78. At that
point, staff informed the applicant that the regulations governing the driveway
separation distance between adjacent intersections (4th and 3rd Streets)
prohibited this property from having access to SH 78. As a result, the applicant
withdrew the original case so that they could reexamine the development and
determine the most desirable method of providing access.
• The new plat under consideration is a direct result of the applicant's reexamination.
Staff has reviewed the new proposal for the Dollar General Addition and found it
to be in compliance with the Subdivision Regulations and other pertinent
ordinances of the City of Wylie except for the proposed SH 78 ingress/egress
approach. Specifically, the plat under consideration incorporates a request for a
variance to Section 2.4 (Driveway Access Location) of the Paving Standards (see
attached letter from the property owner). Stated more simply, there is a minimum
distance upstream and downstream from adjacent intersections within which
driveways should not be located. This separation distance varies with the
classification of street and is shown in figure 2.3 (see attachment). The minimum-

Dollar General-Final Plat
Paae I
Other Considerations-continued
-driveway separation dimensions applicable to this property have been marked for your
convenience.
In order for this property to be in compliance and have access to SH 78, all points of
approach would need to be at least 150' to the east of the northwest corner of Lot 2, and
at least 200' to the west of the northeast corner of Lot 1. Due to the fact that this property
only has a total of 297.85' of frontage between 3rd and 4th streets, it is not possible for
this development to be in compliance and have access to SH 78. In an effort to eliminate
the need for a driveway and variance request on each lot being platted, the applicant is
requesting a variance for one (1) common driveway to be shared between the Dollar
General development on Lot 1 and any future development which may occur on Lot 2 (see
attached site plan). Staff does support this variance request and recommends that it be
approved.
• The applicant is aware that a fire hydrant will have to be installed per the fire departments
request prior to the issuance of a C.O. (Certificate of Occupancy).
Financial Considerations:
The applicant is aware that the impact fees for Lot 2, Block A, must be paid prior to the
issuance of building permits for future development. The impact fees for Lot 2, Block A,
amount to $1,921.09. All applicable impact fees for Lot 1, Block A, have been paid
($2,483.89).
Commission Recommendation:
At the July 6, 1998, Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, the Commission voted
unanimously to favorably recommend this case as proposed.

15.3 Ex Parte Communications
WYLIE CITY COUNCIL
ACTION AGENDA COMMUNICATION
July 14, 1998
Issue:
Consider and act upon approval of a proposed increase in the 911 service fee rate and
adoption of a rate setting ordinance.
Background:
On June 23, 1998, the Council approved issuance of a seven year tax note to finance certain
capital expenditures and adopted a resolution to reimburse said expenditures with proceeds
of future debt. Included in those capital expenditures were the purchase of a new 911
emergency communications system and a computer aided dispatch system. The source of
funding to reimburse the purchase of these systems is the revenue from 911 service fees
which are collected solely for the purpose of maintaining and improving emergency
communications. In proposing the tax note financing, it was understood that a rate increase
would be necessary to provide adequate revenue for the reimbursement.
The current 911 emergency service fee, established in 1987, is collected at a flat rate of$
.93 for all categories of phone lines in the 911 database. These access line categories
include residential, business and trunk lines. The fee is applied equally to all surchargeable
access lines in the database. Typically, a municipality or district will set the fee as a
percentage of the base telephone service rate for each service category. A rate analysis has
established that a six per cent fee would provide the revenue required to reimburse the
purchase of the emergency communications systems.
Financial considerations:
The current 911 service fee of$ .93 is approximately 4.5 % of the residential monthly base
rate for telephone service. A rate increase to 6 % across the board, for all phone line
categories, would result in the following monthly service fees.
Residential Line- $ 1.22 Business Line- $ 2.93 Trunk Line- $ 4.47
The rate increase would produce an increase of approximatelly $ 48,000 in gross annual
revenue from 911 service fees.
Action Agenda Communication
Ordinance Adopting New 911 Rates
Paae 1
Other Considerations:
Chapter 772 of the Health and Safety Code, which governs the local administration of
emergency communications, states that the rate of the fee cannot exceed six per cent of the
monthly base telephone service rate charged to the user by the service provider. The City of
Wylie, as a home rule municipality, may not be bound by the limitations of the Health and
Safety Code but staff has elected to continue to comply with the requirements of Chapter 772.
Board/Commission Recommendation:
N/A.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends that Council approve raising the 911 emergency service fee to six per cent
of the base telephone service rate for all residential, business and trunk lines in the 911
database and set the monthly service fee at $ 1.22 for residential lines, $ 2.93 for business
lines and $4.47 for trunk lines. Staff also recommends that Council adopt the attached rate
setting ordinance.
