Wylie Economic Development Corporation Fiscal Year 1996-1997 fiction Plan
Issue
Discuss and consider the Wylie Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) Fiscal Year 1996-1997
Action Plan.
Background
The Action Plan is an effective tool in maintaining the lines of communication between the WEDC
Board and the City Council, the plan is to allow staff, at the direction of the Board to focus the efforts of the
WEDC. The Action Plan identifies the minimum objectives the WEDC Board of Directors believe must be
met by staff. In meeting these objectives, it is the Board's belief that the overall goal of increasing
employment levels and expanding the assessed taxable value within the City of Wylie will be accomplished.
Executive Summary -The primary goals are: 1) F.M. 544 Widening; 2) Premier Business Park; 3) Texas
Enterprise Zone Designation; 4) Property Inventory; 5) Marketing; and 6) WEDC staff.
Board Recommendations
The WEDC hasn't approved the Action Plan.
Financial Considerations
All activities within the FY 1996-1997 Action Plan will be financed by the 4A, 1/2 cent sales tax. The
WEDC F 1996-1997 Budget is attached for review.
Legal Considerations
Section IV, 4a of the WEDC By-Laws states the Board shall make a detailed report to the City Council
once a year. The report shall include the following: 1) a review of all expenditures made by the Board in
connection with their activities involving direct economic development, together with a report of all other
expenditures made by the Board; 2) a review of the accomplishments of the Board in the area of direct
economic development; 3) the policies and strategy followed by the Board in relation to direct economic
development together with any proposed changes in such activities; and 4) a review of the activities of the
Board in areas of endeavor other than direct economic development together with any proposed changes
in such activities.

WYLIE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
FY 1996-97 ACTION PLAN
OCTOBER 1, 1996
As required in the by-laws of the Wylie Economic Development Corporation (WEDC),
the Board of Directors must submit "the policies and strategy followed by the Board in
relation to direct economic development" on an annual basis to the Wylie City Council.
While this Action Plan is an effective tool in maintaining the lines of communication
between this Board and the City Council, an equally important function of this document
is to allow staff, at the direction of the Board, to focus the efforts of the WEDC.
Although much of the activities of the WEDC are dictated by the requests of the
brokerage and business community, a slate of activities will allow staff to determine
minimum accomplishments expected by the Board of Directors throughout the year.
The following tasks are viewed by the WEDC Board of Directors as having a direct
impact on increasing employment levels and expanding the assessed taxable value
within the City of Wylie. These two objectives are the core of economic development
and are what this organization will ultimately be judged by. Each of the ensuing areas
of activity will be prioritized by the WEDC Board of Directors and evaluated on a
monthly basis so as to judge the productivity of staff and determine the effectiveness of
each area of activity.
F.M. 544 Widening:
In 1994, business owners, the Wylie City Council, the WEDC Board of Directors, City
staff and concerned citizens met with the Cornerstone Group to evaluate the existing
and future economic climate of the City of Wylie. The most critical issue facing the
economic development of Wylie, as determined by 45% of the participants, is
highways/roads.
In order to influence the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), the City of Wylie
must become extremely involved in the process of determining projects which will
receive funding in a particular year. As with many State of Texas programs, need is not
necessarily the number one reason for funding a project.
In an attempt to affect the process, the Wylie Chamber of Commerce Economic
Development Committee, chaired by Dr. John Fuller, will begin to educate themselves
on the TIP process and form a group of concerned business and elected officials. The
initial committee will consist of representatives from the City of Wylie, WEDC, Wylie
Independent School District (WISD) and Sanden International. From that core group, a
strategy will be formulated and the individuals most capable of implementing that
strategy will be encouraged to participate. Personal monitoring of TIP activities in
Austin will begin soon thereafter and a City of Wylie presence in Austin will be
established.
Premier Business Park:
The need to conceptualize or recognize the capabilities or limitations of Premier
Business Park is paramount to WEDC marketing activities and negotiations with
expansion/relocation prospects. A unified vision by the WEDC Board of Directors of
what the goals and objectives are in developing Premier will facilitate and even dictate
the development process. Once this unified vision has been established, criteria for
use of WEDC owned property can be established.
A strategy for determining this vision will be to allow a professional land planner to
consult the WEDC Board of Directors in the areas of land development. This
individual/organization will aid the WEDC in determining the capabilities of Premier
followed by the creation of development standards which will protect the integrity of the
Park. These standards will consist of landscaping, building materials, building coverage
area and parking requirements. While the City of Wylie has in place ordinances which
direct developers in these areas, the WEDC may impose standards which exceed City
requirements (i.e. increase landscaping requirements).
In addition to maintaining the aesthetic appeal of Premier, the WEDC Board of Directors
believes that the issues surrounding the soil conservation easement on the southwest
corner of the Park must be finalized. Being that this easement area encompasses
approximately five (5) acres the outcome of this issue will be vital to the development of
the south side of Premier.
Texas Enterprise Zone Designation:
The Texas Department of Commerce defines the goal of the Texas Enterprise Zone
(EZ) Program as being the encouragement of job creation and capital investment in
economically distressed areas of Texas. The goal of the Texas EZ Program in Wylie,
Texas will be to increase the capability of the City of Wylie and WEDC to attract
corporate relocation's and encourage existing businesses to expand. An EZ is a
contiguous area within a city, designated by the City Council, which affords businesses
operating within the zone the ability to access state tax and regulatory benefits and
local incentives. These incentives consist of state sales and use tax and state
franchise tax refunds, priority for state programs, reductions in electric and gas utility
rates, and specified local incentives to be determined by the WEDC Board of Directors
and Wylie City Council.
In order for a community to receive an EZ designation, certain criteria must be met.
These criteria are detailed in the attached `Enterprise Zone Identification Process'
produced by the Texas Department of Commerce. For the Primary Criteria, staff will
locate the area within the community with the highest unemployment levels. The
strategy for meeting the Secondary Criteria will be to establish a `substantial loss of
businesses or jobs' within the proposed zone. This classification can be achieved by
using the closing of Physicians Regional Hospital and the loss of 125 jobs associated
with that closing.
Once an application for zone designation has been submitted to Commerce, the
approval process takes approximately 75 days. To reach the point of submitting an
application staff will require approximately 45 days to research the proposed zone.
Upon successful designation and assuming the existing hospital facility will be located
within the EZ, Presbyterian will have the ability to access the benefits associated with
the EZ Program upon qualifying as an EZ Project.
2
City of Wylie Property Inventory:
WEDC staff must have the ability to access accurate profiles of all commercial and
industrial property within the City of Wylie and WISD taxing jurisdictions. To date, the
WEDC has information on approximately 50% of these properties. A database must be
created and maintained so that brokers and members of the business community can
have access to this information on a moments notice. Information in this data base will
consist of property location, size, zoning, physical attributes, contact name/telephone
number, and asking price. Staff proposes that in addition to a database, a document
also be created to present to interested individuals.
This activity will take a high priority in the FY 1996-97 Action Plan because of the dual
purpose it will serve. While updating our own records, the community/property
inventory created by TU Electric will also be updated. As the City of Wylie and WEDC
have seen in the past, TU Electric is a valuable ally in the economic development field
and must be treated and utilized as such.
Marketing:
As represented in the FY 1996-97 WEDC Budget, the WEDC Board of Directors have
placed a greater emphasis on marketing efforts than any past Board. The following
marketing activities will be a direct response to the identity, or lack there of, the City of
Wylie has throughout the Metroplex. The end result of the WEDC marketing efforts will
be to begin creating an image of the Wylie community which portrays strong community
values, a school district second to none, an aggressive economic development
program, a cooperative city government, a location with easy access to the Metroplex, a
highly educated and trained labor force, and an abundance of reasonably priced
property ready to develop.
Direct advertising via print media will consist of six ads in the Dallas Business Journal
and two ads in Inside Collin County Business. This coverage will saturate the Dallas/Ft.
Worth market and also allow WEDC staff to promote the Corporation and the
community through articles written primarily by staff. When an ad is placed in these
publications, there is an unwritten agreement that a positive article will be placed in that
issue as well. Dallas Business Journal ads will be placed quarterly, with two `Special
Publication' layouts. Inside Collin County Business ads will be placed every six-
months.
Although the WEDC has created the '1996 Community Profile' and will update the same
in 1997, a brochure must be created to send to prospects and take to trade shows to
complement the Community Profile. The focus of this brochure will be the WEDC,
access, Premier Business Park, an accommodating development process through the
City of Wylie, the WISD and an excellent quality of life. Special attention will be given to
the design and layout of this brochure so that the first impression of the reader gives an
impression of quality and dedication.
3
During the process of creating marketing material necessary to effectively represent the
City of Wylie and WEDC at national trade shows, staff will present the WEDC Board
with a detailed analysis of all trade shows attended by Lone Star Gas and TU Electric.
At the direction of the Board, one or two trade shows will be identified which staff and a
Board/Council representative will attend. The identification process will be tied directly
to markets Wylie is attempting to attract.
While appealing to the brokerage executives and businesses outside the community,
special attention must be paid to the image of the WEDC locally. Following an article
reviewing the FY 1996-97 Action Plan, The Wylie News will run a quarterly article
highlighting the activities of the WEDC. To achieve the same result, the City of Wylie
has agreed to allow the WEDC to have a permanent presence in the City of Wylie
Newsletter and WEDC staff will prepare materials to place in the Wylie Chamber of
Commerce Newsletter as well.
WEDC Staff:
Under the direction of the WEDC Board of Directors, a part-time, 30-hour per week
administrative assistant position has been approved. Staff is currently searching for an
individual to fill this position. The successful candidate for this position should have a
background in city government/economic development with preference given for a
desire to make a career of the same. Responsibilities of this individual will include
research and development of an enterprise zone designation, research of
commercial/industrial property inventory and assisting the Executive Director in the
daily operation of the WEDC office.

lganda'Communication for December 101996
Set Date for Public Nearing for Land Use assumptions
Issue
Discuss and set a date of January 28, 1997 for the Public Hearing to consider Land Use Assumptions
recommended by the Impact Fee Advisory Committee.
Background
The review process necessary for updating the Impact Fees has resulted in the appointment of the Impact
Fees Advisory Committee (IFAC). This committee, in its first two meetings, will review the Land Use
Assumptions which are necessary to establish the needs for the 10 year Water/Sewer Master Plan.
According to State Law, there must be a Public Hearing established to consider the Land Use Assumptions
within the designated service area that will be used to develop the Capital Improvement Plan and
subsequent Impact Fees. The Public Hearing must be published more than 30 days prior to the Hearing
and must be published for three (3) consecutive weeks.
The Impact Fee Update Procedure gives a time line by which the IFAC and City Council will meet and act
on various steps in the process for updating the Impact Fees. The IFAC will have determined what the Land
Use Assumptions will be and will have recommendations for City Council at the Public Hearing which will
be scheduled for the January 28th City Council meeting. The IFAC will meet at least twice between now and
the December 17th initial publish date to review and agree on the Land Use Assumptions which will be
recommended to the City Council. These Assumptions will be provided to the City Council and made
available to the public on or before the first date of publication of the notice of hearing on the Land Use
Assumptions.
These Land Use Assumptions will be used to help formulate the Capital Improvements Plan. They will assist
in determining the anticipated growth of the City and the future needs of the City in relation to water and
sewer infrastructure requirements. The anticipated cost of these infrastructure improvements will be the
basis for the calculation of the Impact Fees, which will be proposed at the conclusion of the Impact Fee
Advisory Committee's work in January 1997. The recommendations of the IFAC will be forwarded to Council
for public hearing and consideration for adoption on March 11, 1997.
Board Recommendations
The Impact Fee Advisory Committee will meet in November and December and bring forth
recommendations on Land Use Assumptions prior to December 17, 1996.
Financial Considerations
Impact fees are charged for all future water and sewerage connections to the city system in order to defray
the impact burden on said water and sewage systems of producing, treating, distributing, transmitting or
collecting and maintaining all facilities pertaining to said systems. Explained simply, the impact fee is
calculated as follows. Based on land use assumptions, or the density and type of development projected
for the ultimate build-out of land, the total demand for water and wastewater consumption can be
determined. This Living Unit Equivalent or L.U.E. means a unit that consumes the amount of water or
discharges the amount of wastewater equal to that of a standard low density residential unit. In theory,
based on land use assumptions, the water and wastewater system could only be built-out to support a finite
number of LUE's. A cost is calculated to support each LUE for water and wastewater facilities.
Legal Considerations
Local Government Code, Chapter 395 establishes the city's authority to appoint an Impact Fee Advisory
Committee to evaluate and make recommendations on impact fees.
The notice of public hearing may not be in the part of the paper in which legal notices and classified ads
appear and may not be smaller than one-quarter page of a standard-size or tabloid-size newspaper, and
the headline on the notice must be in 18-point or larger type. The notice must contain: (1) A headline to
read as follows: "NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS RELATING TO
POSSIBLE ADOPTION OF IMPACT FEES"; (2) the time, date, and location of the hearing; (3) a statement
that the purpose of the hearing is to consider the land use assumptions that will be used to develop a capital
improvements plan under which an impact fee may be imposed; (4) an easily understandable map of the
service area to which the land use assumptions apply; and (5) a statement that any member of the public
has the right to appear at the hearing.
Staff Recommendations
Staff recommends to set date for Public Hearing on Land Use Assumptions on January 28, 1997.

Issue
Discuss and consider approval for Final Payment to Rogers—Blair Contractors for Phase I of City of Wylie
Service Center.
Background
On November 11, 1996, City Staff including Wayne Morman, Inspector and Project Manager, Jim Holcomb,
Purchasing Agent, Rick Daddio, Foreman of Public Works, and Jack Jones, Superintendent of Public Works
met with Mike Blair and Michael Johnson of Rogers—Blair Contractor to perform a Final Walk-Through for
Phase I of the Service Center so that the Final Payment process could be initiated. Upon Final Walk-
Through, two (2) items were found that had not been completed: (1)The tile floor transition from lunchroom
to restroom area needed to be sealed with silicone, and; (2)The exterior west wall needed to be patched
where heavy rain and standing water had made a small portion of the texture come loose from the bottom
side of the building. These items have been completed as of this date.

stubouts to a point of 5' outside the building line to accommodate future connections by others.
Change Order#1 ($2,843.50): This change order was for the installation of underground electrical conduit
to service the light pole bases and the pedestal sign for future installation by the City of Wylie. This was not
part of the original contract. It was determined this be done before the paving was placed in order to prevent
the City from having to spend many more times this amount of money to bore under the paving to install the
lighting for the parking lot at a later time.
Change Order#2 ($3730.00): This was to install underground conduits to facilitate telephone service to the
building. This was not a part of the original contract. It was a total of 2,800 linear feet, with pull strings
installed.
Change Order #3 ($869.40): This was for the conversion of the HVAC equipment and water heater from
natural gas to LP gas, due to Lone Star Gas estimating a cost of approximately $37,500.00 to run their
service to our building.
Change Order#4 ($2095.00): This was an adjusted amount between City of Wylie and Rogers-Blair from
an original amount of $4,189.21 that was caused due to dimensional inaccuracies of the concrete tiltup
panels by the architect.

Staff Recommendations
Staff considers that Rogers-Blair Contractors has fulfilled all aspects of this contract and recommends that
final payment be approved and issued.

Change Order Mu. 1 B final Acceptance - Butler/Dogwood Allays
Issue
Discuss and Consider issuing Change Order No. 1 and final acceptance of the construction of the
alleys in the Butler/Dogwood area and provide authorization for final payment to McMahon Contracting, Inc.
in the amount of $13,784.46, and accept the project as complete.
Background
McMahon Contracting, Inc. was awarded the contract for the construction of the alleys in the
Butler/Dogwood area at the August 13, 1996 City Council Meeting. The original bid proposal was
$79,525.85. The original construction budget for the City was approximately $100,000. Due to the favorable
bid, Staffs understanding of the City Council's intent was to increase the scope of the project on a unit price
basis to include an additional 200 feet of alley improvements and remain within the project budget. This
additional 200 feet was not included in the original scope because it was not known at the time that the bids
would be this favorable. The portion of the alley that was added was in as poor condition as the alleys in
the original bid. The improvements to the remainder of the alleys in this vicinity have already been
scheduled for completion in this current year's budget. Change Order No. 1 represents the cost of
expanding the project based on the unit price's bid of$19,961.55. No new items were added to the bid form,
only contract quantities were adjusted.
Construction began on August 26, 1996, and was substantially completed within the allotted contract
time. A final walk through was conducted by City Staff and members of The Hogan Corporation on
November 20, 1996.
Change Order No. 1 is required to adjust the contract quantities to reflect the actual quantities
installed on the project. An itemized list, including costs, was submitted by the contractor and is attached.
Acceptance will initiate the one-year warranty period in which the contractor is liable for any repairs
which may be required in that time period. A provision in the contract provides that the warranty period
begins on the date of final acceptance by the City.
Board Recommendations
N/A
Financial Considerations
The original Construction budget for this project was approximately $100,000 and the bid price on
the project was $79,525.85. The actual total cost for the project, including over and underruns in quantities
and Change Order No. 1 is $99,487.40.
This project was financed through funds from the Department of Public Works 1996 Street Budget;
approximately one half of the amount came from the General Fund and the remaining portion came from
the Capital Improvements Fund.
Legal Considerations
City policies require that the City Council approve any change order in the amount of$10,000 or more
and Change Order No. 1 is in excess of that amount. Policy also requires that the City Council also approve
final acceptance of any major Capital Improvement and authorize final payment on that project. As stated
above, the date of Council approval of final acceptance and final payment becomes the date on which the
contractor's one-year warranty on the project begins.
Staff Recommendations
Staff recommends final acceptance of the project and final payment to McMahon Contracting Inc.
The contractor has satisfactorily fulfilled the terms of the contract.

Agenda Communication for December 10, 1996
Design for the Hew Park/Athletic Field Complex
Issue
Discuss and consider approval of the design for the new Park/Athletic Field Complex.
Background
A considerable amount of discussion and planning has taken place with the City Council, the Park
and Recreation Advisory Board and the Wylie Independent School District (WISD) for the development
of the new Park/Athletic Field Complex. Beginning with the purchase of land in conjunction with the
WISD, the intent has been to plan for the development of the Park without regard to the property line
which bisects the acreage. The placement of the individual facilities within the Park were designed to be
that which was the most logical in terms of economics, of phasing the Park, and of creating opportunity
for shared costs in such areas as the construction of shared parking lots and concession/restroom
facilities.
Much of the discussion has centered around the ultimate placement of the proposed football
stadium. Both the Park Board and the WISD desired for the stadium to be placed as close to the High
School as possible. Dennis Sims, of Dunkin Sims Stoffels, Inc. has prepared a design which addresses
the interests of both the City and the WISD, working within the constraints of two (2) easements and a
pond.
This plan has been presented to the Park Board, who indicated their support of the design. The
plan has also been submitted for review by the WISD. The joint Planning Committee appointed by the
City Council and the WISD will need to meet in order to approve the design of the Park and to establish
the funding commitments from each entity, as well as the method and timing of those commitments.
Attached you will find the letter sent to the WISD, along with suggested goals for the Planning
Committee to discuss for the joint use of the Park.
On October 29, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement for Phase II of the
development of the Park which is for the purpose of preparing the construction documents, and
overseeing the bidding and construction of the complex.
Financial Considerations
On January 9, 1996, the Parks and Recreation Facilities Development Corporation authorized the
issuance of $1.7 million in bonds for the purpose of funding the development of the first phase of Central
Park as well as the expansion of the Smith Public Library and the renovation of the new Community
Center. $1,000,000 is designated for the Park, and application has been made to the State Parks and
Wildlife Commission for a $500,000 grant. The decision on the award of the grant is expected in
January.

Dear Dr. Fuller:
On October 29, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with Dunkin Sims Stoffels, Inc. for the purpose of preparing the construction documents, and overseeing the bidding
and construction of the new Park and Athletic Field Complex. In order,to start on the
construction documents, we need to finalize the design of the Park. Please find enclosed two
items for your review; a redesign of the placement of the facilities within the Park based on comments received from the Park Board and the jointly appointed Planning Committee, and
suggested goals that we have formulated to be addressed by the Committee.
We believe that this design will satisfy the various issues identified in previous meetings, as well
as providing a logical placement for shared parking, restroom and concession facilities. At your
earliest possible convenience,we would like to call a meeting of the Planning Committee in order
to secure approval of the layout. At that time, we would ask that the Committee also establish
the funding commitments from each entity as well as the method and timing of those
commitments.
During future meetings, the Committee can address any issues regarding the programming and
maintenance of the facilities at the Park. As you know, there are many opportunities for the
shared programming, maintenance and construction of the Park which will mutually benefit the
WISD and the City, as well as provide the greatest savings to our taxpayers.
Please let me know a convenient time for your members of the Planning Committee so that we
may establish a date and time for the meeting. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,

Joint Use/Athletic Field Complex
Goals
Several progressive steps have been taken to affirm the working partnership between the City of
Wylie (City) and the Wylie Independent School District (WISD). The approval of a Joint
Resolution between the City and the WISD declared, by policy, a partnership and established an
Action Plan which enacted certain goals of that partnership. These goals included securing the
relationship between the (WISD) and the City by formalizing present and new policies and
programs, and providing for the continuous improvement of services to the community that help
fulfill the missions of both organizations.
Within the specific context of the development of the Central Park/Athletic Field Complex, the
approval of a Joint Use Agreement reaffirmed the relationship and acknowledged the need for a
cooperative effort in order to provide higher quality services at lower costs to the citizens of
Wylie. In addition, a Planning Committee, which is composed of representatives from the WISD
and the City, has been appointed. The purpose of the Planning Committee will be to continue the
process of identifying the specific location for each facility within the acreage designated for the
Park, and to identify the method and source of funding for the construction and maintenance of
the facilities. The following are identified goals which need to be met within the course of the
planning, design, and implementation of the Park.
Planning, Design & Implementation
GOAL: Approve jointly the final design for the Park, which includes the location of each
specific facility.
GOAL: Identify opportunities for shared infrastructure development, such as the joint
development of concession and restroom facilities and parking lots.
GOAL: Identify the specific sources of funding for the construction of the various elements
and phases of the Park.
Programming
GOAL: Identify opportunities for the shared use of the facilities.
GOAL: Identify the scheduling and coordination responsibilities with regard to the use of
the facilities.
Maintenance
GOAL: Identify areas of responsibility regarding the maintenance of the grounds,
equipment and facilities.
GOAL: Explore options concerning the manner of maintenance which will provide the
greatest savings to the taxpayer.
Financial Agreements
GOAL: Identify the method of proportionate payments by each entity for the funding of
jointly used facilities.
GOAL: Develop a procedure for the consent and approval of both entities for all future
capital expenditures.

Agenda Communication for December 10, 1996
Public (awing for Sign Ordinance amendment
_mmommommimilm
mimimmimimimiimilmimmumimmimimil
Issue
Hold a Public Hearing and Consider Approval of a Sign Ordinance amendment to increase the
maximum allowable square footage of a wall sign.
Background
City Council will be considering a recommendation for a Zoning Ordinance amendment by making
certain changes in the text of the Sign Regulations, specifically section 27.17(c.1). This section defines wall
sign standards. The proposed change concerns increasing the maximum allowable square footage of the
sign from the current specifications. The current requirements are as follows:
"Wall signs shall not exceed forty (40) square feet or the product of two (2) times the lineal footage
of the wall area available to such signs or store frontage for which such signs are intended, whichever is
lesser."
The proposed change in the text would amend the requirements as follows:
"Wall signs shall not exceed forty (40) square feet or the product of two (2) times the lineal footage
of the wall area available to such signs or store frontage for which such signs are intended, whichever is
greater."
The City of Wylie adopted its official Zoning Ordinance on May 7, 1985. The Sign Regulations are
contained within the Zoning Ordinance. On April 13, 1993, the City Council amended the Zoning Ordinance
by replacing the original sign regulations with a new revised section (Ordinance No. 93-22). Signs are
recognized as an integral and specific land use in a community and as such should have specific standards
to protect the health, safety and welfare of the community and its residents.
Contained within the sign regulations section are definitions defining the types of signs referenced
throughout the section. There is an administration section which states the procedural steps one must follow
when establishing a sign (permits, inspections, appeals, etc.). Sign limitations are also a part of the
regulations, and it is within this section where the proposed change in text would occur. Prohibited signs
and sign uses are listed as well.
The occurrence that brought this maximum allowable square footage issue to light was a request by
Prima Care medical facility for a variance from the adopted sign regulations which limited them by its design
standards to a forty (40) square foot sign. Prima Care felt that a forty (40) square foot sign was too small
for the size and location of their building.
Prima Care representatives stated that they were an emergency care facility and as such needed a
sign that could be easily seen from Highway 78 and that a 40 square foot sign did not meet that criteria. The
any hardship proven by the applicant. A variance to a provision of the Zoning Ordinance may be granted
if the applicant proves due to special conditions, literal enforcement of the Ordinance would result in
unnecessary hardship.
Board Recommendations
The Planning and Zoning Commission will meet on Monday, December 2, 1996. Staff will inform
Council of the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation concerning this amendment prior to
Council action regarding this request.
Financial Considerations
N/A
Legal Considerations
Under Article 9, Section 2 (B2) of the Wylie Home Rule Charter, it states that the Planning and Zoning
Commission will recommend to Council proposed ordinances and amendments regarding planning and
zoning changes.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the change in text (lesser to greater) of section 27.17(c.1). The text
that is currently present in this section is intended to protect the City of Wylie from large, overbearing and
aesthetically unpleasing signs. It is staffs position that although the intent is understood and warranted, the
"40 square foot or 2 times the lineal square footage of the wall area available, whichever is lesser"
requirement is too restrictive for a viable business sign. The reality of this restriction is that if the building
which the sign is to be located on is more than 20 feet in width ( which is most likely), the maximum
allowable total square footage of the sign will always be 40 square feet.
The original ordinance (Plano's sign ordinance) that was used to formulate these regulations has
"greater" as its qualifying text. There are other checks and balances within this section which protect against
the types of signs that these regulations are meant to prevent. They are as follows:
"Such signs shall not have a vertical height of more than six (6) feet , nor exceed seventy-five (75)
percent of the width of the available wall area or store frontage."
"In the case where two (2) or more wall signs are installed in a single wall area, the gross surface
area may not exceed two (2) times the lineal width of the wall area available to such signs. Such signs shall
not be arranged as to have a vertical height of more than six (6) feet. The combination of the sign widths,
when placed side by side, shall not exceed seventy-five (75) percent of the width of the wall available to
such signs."
Taking into consideration the intent of the regulations and satisfied with the design mechanisms that
are in place providing additional guidelines, staff recommends approval of this amendment.

Agenda Communication for December f0, 1996
Public Jkkaring Zone Change from Roy Jacobs
Issue
Hold a Public Hearing and consider a recommendation to the City Council a request
from Roy Jacobs (Jimmie Ray Jacobs, P.O.A.) for approval of a zone change from "A"
Agriculture to "B-2" Business District for property located on the south side of FM 544 just
east of FM 544 and Regency Drive and more particularly described as lots 2 and 3, Block
B of Jacobs Addition.
Background
The brother of the property owner, Jimmie Ray Jacobs, by Power of Attorney is
requesting to have the above mentioned property's zoning classification changed from "A"
Agricultural to "B-2" Business District so that it will legally accommodate the type of
businesses that are inquiring about possible lease agreements for the use of the property.
Most of the Regency Park area was changed from agricultural zoning to industrial
and commercial zoning in 1984 and 1985. Said lots 2 and 3 were annexed into the Wylie
city limits in December, 1995 as part of the 544 annexation and are the only remaining lots
in the Regency Park area that are still zoned as agricultural land. The industrial and
commercial zoning districts located here are consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use
Plan's land use classification for this area.
Board Recommendations
The Planning and Zoning Commission will meet on Monday, December 2, 1996.
Staff will inform Council of the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation
concerning this zone change request prior to Council action regarding this request.
Financial Considerations
N/A
Legal Considerations
Under Article 9, Section 2 (B2) of the Wylie Home Rule Charter, it states that the
Planning and Zoning Commission will recommend to Council proposed ordinances and
amendments regarding planning and zoning changes.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the zone change request. Re-zoning of this property
to "B-2" Business District is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's land use designation
for this area. It is staff's position that "B-2" Business District designation for this property
is desirable so as to provide a buffer between the industrial property behind it and FM 544.
This property is surrounded by industrial/commercial zoned property and as such
would not present any conflict with surrounding land uses. With the Zoning Ordinance
having been officially adopted and in effect, this property will have to conform to all zoning
and building regulations (building set-backs, screening, site plan review, etc.). This is not
the case with some of the other developed lots in this area where non-conforming uses
exist.
Property zone change notifications were sent out to all persons owning property
within 200 feet of said property and to date no responses have been received.

The legal description is used to publish notice of the required hearing and in the preparation of
the final ordinance granting the zoning change. The description must be sufficient so as to allow
a qualified surveyor to take the description and locate and mark off the tract on the ground. Each
applicant should protect himself by having a surveyor or his attorney approve his legal
description. Failure to do so by the applicant may result in delay in passage of the final ordinance
or the ordinance being declared invalid at some later date because of an insufficient legal
description.

If the applicant is someone other than the owner, written acknowledgement by the owner.of the

Wylie City Council
agenda Communication for December 10, 1996 #�Q
Resolution for Acquisition of Land for Park Land
Issue
Discuss and Consider approval of a Resolution Supporting the Acquisition of Land By Dallas County
For Park Land and to Authorize the City Manager to Enter Into an Open Space Use Agreement with Dallas
County.
Background
In 1993, the City of Wylie and the City of Sachse jointly approved a Resolution supporting the efforts
of the Dallas County Open Space Program to acquire land to develop as a natural preserve and walking
path. At that time, the County was planning to pursue the purchase of flood plain land along Muddy Creek
from Garland, through Sachse and into Wylie to the County line. The intent was to develop the Muddy
Creek Preserve as a nature area with a walking path. The funding source would be through Dallas County
bond programs, and state and federal grant programs.
Since that time, Dallas County has been working on the purchase of the individual parcels of land
and, to date, has not been able to secure all of the land necessary for the Sachse/Wylie connection.
However, there is a tract of land at the southern most portion of the Wylie city limits where Pleasant Valley
crosses Muddy Creek that the County has been able to secure. Due to the amount of time that has passed,
the County has asked if the City still wishes to participate in the program.
The Open Space Program operates in the following manner. The land is purchased by Dallas
County, who then secures the additional funding through County funds or grants for any improvements to
the land, i.e. parking lots and walking paths. The City and the County would enter into an Open Space
Agreement in which the County would lease the land to the City for a period of 99 years. The City would
agree to keep the land for open space and a natural park area. The City would also agree to maintain the
property free of litter and overgrown vegetation, and to provide normal police and fire protection.
The City of Wylie Parks and Open Space Master Plan, adopted in January of this year, indicates a
Major Trail in the flood plain areas along Muddy Creek which would extend from this tract, north through the
new Park/Athletic Field Complex and ultimately to areas northwest of the existing City limits.
Financial Considerations
Because the land will have to be purchased incrementally, officials from Dallas County indicate that
a grant from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department will not be pursued until more land is available. The
officials indicated that the County would provide the funding for a parking lot and would then possibly work
with volunteer groups to begin to clear the area for the nature trail. Improvements would not be constructed
until this time next year, at the earliest. The City's obligations would be to periodically clean the area, which
can be accommodated by existing staff and equipment. Police and fire services are already in place.
Legal Considerations
Chapter 331.008 - Municipal and County Cooperation states that a municipality and county may act
in cooperation with each other in the exercise of authority.
Board/Commission Recommendation
The Park Board reviewed this proposal during their November 25 meeting. The Board indicated their
support and view the proposal as an opportunity to begin development of a nature trail that is in line with the
Parks Master Plan with very little financial burden being placed on the City or its staff.

Worksess on - Phase 11 of Municipal Service Center Bid Specifications
Issue
Discuss bid solicitations for Phase II of the Municipal Service Center capital construction project. No
formal action is required.
Background
The Phase I of the Municipal Service Center included construction of a 3,700 square foot
office/warehouse building and perimeter fencing which was reduced by 500 linear feet. Deleted entirely were
the 2,600 square foot garage, lockers, flag poles and entry signs. The Phase II bid could consist of the
addition of the fleet maintenance garage. Bids could be solicited on a metal shop building, similar in square
footage to the original tilt wall design, with two drive-through bays. The height of the proposed building would
be reduced to 20 feet, as opposed to the 24 foot roof line of the original design. The overall dimensions of
the proposed building could be 54 feet wide by 48 feet deep by 20 feet high. An alternate bid could be
included for a smaller structure having only one drive-through bay. The width and height of this alternate
design would be identical to the base bid, with a reduction of approximately 1,100 square feet in depth
resulting from the deletion of the second bay. The overall dimensions of the alternate building could be 54
feet wide by 28 feet deep by 20 feet high. Additional alternate bids could be considered in order to identify
all possible cost reductions. Provided herewith are attachments outlining the proposed basic specifications
and rudimentary schematic drawings of the base bid design.
The proposed Phase II site work consists of two components. A practical necessity is the concrete
paving required to provide access to the proposed garage addition and the existing warehouse area on the
east side of the building. The other section of concrete flatwork to be included in the bid is the lot west of
the building (approximately 120 feet by 165 feet in the original site plan) which is designed for the staging
of heavy equipment and storage of bulk aggregate materials (Please see attached illustration of site work).
The west lot will provide eight (8) defined parking spaces and approximately sixteen (16) to twenty four (24)
spaces for heavy equipment and vehicles. The bid solicitation will require unit pricing of bid items and will
be structured to allow for reductions in the amount of paving if funding is not adequate. Due to the prevailing
budgetary constraints, staff anticipates that reductions in the proposed site work are likely. The concrete
site paving for Phase I included one driveway, a 4,800 square foot parking lot for employees (20 vehicles)
and a smaller paved parking area for three (3) vehicles adjacent to the west wall of the building. Total
staffing at this location is eighteen (18) full-time and five (5) seasonal workers for a total of twenty three (23).
Phase I currently has a total of twenty three (23) parking spaces available for City vehicles, heavy
equipment, staff parking, and the public.
Phase I of the Service Center Complex was completed in November 16, 1996 for a total cost of
$641,525. The following represents a narrative summary of the activities leading up to the completion of
Phase I. At the beginning of FY 1996 Budget no preliminary architectural or engineering design work had
yet been completed. Competitive bids were solicited in March of 1996 for the construction of the Service
Center facility (with fencing and other appurtenances) and the concrete site work required for access to the
building/warehouse, parking, and materials storage. The initial construction plans were identified as Phase
I of the project, with additional parking and possible building expansion envisioned for the future (Please see
attached copy of original Phase I site plan). Six bids were received for construction of the building and eight
for the concrete site work. Upon receipt of the bids, it became apparent that the overall cost of the project,
including the extension of Hensley Lane, architectural/engineering fees and other related expenses, would
exceed the architect's original estimate by 35 per cent. The low bids for the building and site work exceeded
the architect's estimates by 42 per cent and 53 per cent, respectively. With the bids considerably higher than
the preliminary estimates, it was necessary to make severe reductions in the scope of Phase I of the project.
The proposed Phase II construction would address some of the more utilitarian features of the project that
were deleted from Phase I.
Financial Considerations
The operating budget approved by Council for fiscal 1997 includes an allocation of$150,000.00 to
the Service Center Capital Project Fund to finance the proposed Phase II construction outlined above.
Legal Considerations
The proposed bid solicitations for both the building and site work must be conducted in compliance
with the competitive sealed bid process required by the Local Government Code. Other statutory
requirements are the provision of performance and payment bonds by the successful bidder(s) and the
services of a registered engineer for M.E.P. design and review. Another consideration is that the
Architectural Act requires that new buildings in excess of$100,000 must be designed by an architect. Each
of these legal requirements are dictated by the estimated cost of the project.

One work/drum storage area, approximately 10'X33' w/elevated mezzanine parts storage.
One 3.0' locking metal or solid core wood entry door connecting to existing building. Doorway to
be saw-cut in existing concrete tilt wall panel, reinforced and framed.
One ceiling mounted gas(propane) fired heater.
Wall and ceiling insulation R-factor rated for maximum energy efficiency.
Plumbing to include water supply line for ice machine and emergency shower/eye-wash.
Minimum 200 amp electrical service.
Lighting: Adequate explosion-proof flourescent fixtures, skylights for additional natural light.
Exterior security flood lights.
Exterior: Metal shell to be painted to match existing building. City building code requires minumum
75 per cent masonry(or screening) for east wall.
Front (south) metal wall to consist of a 6 ft. kneewall attached to top of existing concrete tilt wall
panel which forms rear(north) exterior wall of existing building.
Concrete-filled pipe bollards on each side of bay doors to prevent damage to exterior shell.
The following alternate bids will be considered:
Alternate 1: Same as above, except: Approximate dimensions: 54 ft. wide by 28 ft. deep. One drive-
through bay with doors to be 14 ft. wide by 16 ft. high.
Alternate 2 (add-on): Masonry on all sides to enhance appearance (in particular, view from new
1
community park).
Alternate 3 (deduct): Bidder will state cost reduction to delete overhead door insulation.
General Notes on Specifications:
Pre-manufactured steel building is assumed to be least expensive construction method.
Dimensions are based on adequate width to accomodate drive-through bay for larger equipment and
adequate depth to accomodate two bays and minimal office/work areas. Width approximately
matches existing rear wall.
Two bays will optimize productivity by allowing other vehicles/equipment to be brought in for
maintenance when one bay is occupied by an inoperative unit waiting for repair parts. The two bay
design will also facilitate temporary storage of equipment (e.g. garaging of jet machine during
freezing weather).
The 16 ft. height of at least one set of bay doors is dictated by the minimum requirements to
accomodate the Quint engine (per Fire Chief English).
Building height of at least 20 ft. is dictated by the minimum requirements for a 16 ft. overhead door.
The interior height would also allow certain maintenance functions to be performed on the backhoes
and dump trucks.
The minimum spec for concrete slab is based on recommendation of the City's consulting engineer
and would be required for any commercial development of its kind.
An enclosed office area is required for use by the fleet mechanic in order to process work order paper
work and reporting documents,maintain adequate filing/record storage and to secure the mechanic's
small hand tools.
An adequate work area, separate from the vehicle maintenance bays, is necessary to accomodate large
equipment and bulk automotive fluids which cannot be left to clutter or impede the bays (e.g., wheel
balancer, tire changing machine, hydraulic jacks and oil drums).
An elevated storage mezzanine for frequently used auto parts, located above the aforementioned
work area, provides ready availability of needed parts and efficient space utilization.
Emergency shower/eyewash is required by ANSI standards and recommended by the City's insurance
provider, and is consistent with the City's overall safety standards.

SERVICE CENTER PROJECT, PHASE I
CHRONOLOGICAL SUMMARY
Fiscal 1990- Service Center Capital Project Fund is created using approximately
$300,000.00 in revenue from 1990 bond issues. No design or needs
assessment has been done.
July, 1993- After interviewing several architectural firms, the City accepts a
proposal from Hatfield Crookless Architects to provide "conceptual
and limited services" relating to the design and construction of a new
Municipal Service Center.
The project is subsequently postponed, pending selection and
acquisition of an appropriate site for the facility.
February, 1995- The City purchases 80 acres of land and designates fifteen (15) acres
of the tract as the future site of the Municipal Service Center. The cost
of the Service Center site is $87,825.00.
August, 1995- An additional $50,100.00 in bond revenue is transferred to the
Service Center Fund from the Landfill Closure Fund. Total allocation
to date is $350,100.00.
Preliminary schematic designs are submitted by Hatfield Crookless
for review by City staff. No estimates of construction cost have been
presented.
September, 1995- Hatfield Crookless submits construction cost estimates based on
revised schematic design: Building w/Fence and Gate- 317,000.00,
Concrete Site Work- 102,000.00, Extension of Hensley Lane-
31,200.00, Architect's Fees- 33,520.00, Site Utilities, Landscaping
and Contingency- 65,000.00. Architect's total cost estimate-
$548,720.00. The architect's estimate for the building is subsequently
increased to $379,900.00, bringing the total cost estimate to
$611,620.00.
City executes agreement with Hatfield Crookless for architectural
services to include completion of the project from schematic design
through bidding and construction phases.
Service Center Fund balance at close of fiscal '95 is $317,900.00.
October, 1995- Fiscal '96 budget includes transfer of $150,000.00 to Service Center
Fund from General and Utility Funds, bringing project fund total to
$455,100.00.
March, 1996- Hatfield Crookless delivers final plans and bid documents. Hogan
Corporation has assumed responsibility for site work bid and
construction phase. Bid invitations are advertised.
Extension of Hensley Lane is completed at a cost of$79,000.00. Work
is performed under a change order to an existing contract with East
Texas Construction.
Of six bids received on the building and eight bids received on the site
work, the lowest responsive bids are as follows:
Building- $537,240.00 from Rogers Blair General Contractors
Sitework- $156,133.00 from East Texas Construction
With actual bids, project cost projections now total $830,660.00,
exceeding the architect's estimate by 35 per cent.
City staff spends the next four weeks working with contractors,
architect and consulting engineer to identify possible cost reductions
through value engineered construction methods, delays or deletions
of some project components.
The City's contract with Hatfield Crookless Architects is terminated.
Total fees paid for architectural services amount to $31,000.00. No
fees are paid for services related to the construction phase of the
project or bid phase of the site work.
April, 1996- Council authorizes City Manager to negotiate contracts with total
construction budget not to exceed $600,000.00.
Change order is issued on East Texas Construction contract reducing
amount of concrete site work to a total cost of$55,900.00.
An amended contract is executed with Rogers Blair for the scaled
down Phase I building construction in the amount of $448,000.00.
Phase I now consists of the 3,700 square foot tilt-wall
office/warehouse building and perimeter fencing which has been
reduced by 500 linear feet. Deleted entirely are the 2,600 square foot
garage, security gate, lockers and entry signs.
June, 1996- An additional sum of$127,000.00 is transferred to the Service Center
budget from Perimeter Street Fund and interest earnings from Street
2
and Utility Construction bond monies.
October, 1996- $150,000.00 is budgeted in fiscal '97 for Phase II construction to
include he proposed addition of the fleet garage and additional
concrete paving necessary to access the garage and warehouse and
to provide heavy equipment parking and bulk material storage.
Council rejects approval of an proposed change order to Rogers Blair
which would add the garage construction to the existing contract,
using the original tilt wall design, at a cost of$69,150.00.
Phase I construction is completed. Total project costs are as follows:
Building- $457,530.00
Sitework- $ 55,900.00
Road Ext- $ 79,000.00
Arch.Fee- $ 31,100.00
Engineer- $ 8,000.00
Misc.Exp- $ 9.995.00
Total - $641,525.00

SERVICE CENTER PHASE II
USER NEEDS JUSTIFICATIONS
Introduction
To facilitate the daily operations of the Public works and Parks departments, the personnel
and equipment need to be located in one central location. The new parking space
included in the Service Center Phase II specifications should be enough to allow Parks
and Public Works to bring their equipment to the central location. The centralizing of the
equipment would provide more positive controls over storage and maintenance for both
departments. Communication problems occur when the equipment is scattered around in
several storage areas (Community Park, Service Center Annex, New Service Center),
which results in lost man-hours and extra costs. With the new fleet maintenance facilities
and the majority of the equipment working out of the same location, our fleet maintenance
mechanic will be able to give better service to all departments.
Listed below are the justifications and uses of the proposed drive-thru bays One and Two.
Bay One - Heavy Duty and Regular Maintenance
Bay One is designed as a heavy equipment drive-thru work area with 14 foot wide by 16
foot high bay doors. This bay will have the necessary height and width to perform
maintenance and repairs on Public Works heavy equipment as well as the Fire
Department's major fire fighting apparatus. When repairs on heavy equipment are
needed, the bays can often be tied up for long periods while the parts are ordered,
delivered, and installed. The possibility of delays with having only one bay suggests that
having two bays would be more preferable so that maintenance on cars and trucks will not
be delayed. The heavy equipment bay will also be utilized for welding, oil changes,
lubrication, as well as any other necessary repairs. This bay can also be used for routine
maintenance and repairs on other city vehicles. Engine short and long block repairs will
also be performed in this drive-thru bay. The equipment listed below is classified as heavy
equipment by the user departments.
FIRE DEPARTMENT
1. Quint 1
2. Engines 2 and 3
3. Warrior
4. Attack 1 and 2
PUBLIC WORKS
1. 2 Backhoes
2. 1 Rubber Tired loader
3. 2 Dump trucks
4. 1 Pump truck
5. 1 Transport trailer
6. 1 Asphalt roller
7. Wastewater jet machine
8. 2 Heavy duty (step) vans
9. 2 John Deere tractors
10. 2 Heavy duty mowers
Bay Two - Regular Maintenance
Bay Two is designed as a non-heavy equipment drive-thru work area with 12 foot wide by
12 foot high bay doors. The primary use of this bay will be to service and repair all of the
City's pickups, cars and vans. Light maintenance work performed in this bay will typically
include electrical, inspections, brakes, tire changes and balancing, lights, tune-ups and
oil changes. A total of 35 vehicles (cars, vans, pickups) will utilize this drive-thru bay. In
the future, Bay Two is expected to have a 7 foot floor hi-lift installed. This new lift will
increase the mechanic's efficiency in performing lubrication, drive-train inspections, oil
changes and brake repairs on non-heavy duty equipment.
Having two drive-thru bays will make it easier for Public Works personnel to provide
service during severe winter weather (32 degrees or less). It would be ideal to have the
capacity to store one backhoe, one dump truck and the jet machine for emergency call-out
procedures. In extreme winter conditions the diesel engines in heavy equipment are very
hard to crank due to thickening of the motor oil. The jet machine must be stored in a
heated area to avoid expensive damage to the high pressure pump from freezing. The jet
machine also stores internally 600 gallons of water to be used for emergency call-outs of
backed sewer mains. During severe winter weather, Public Works will need 3 of the 4 bay
areas included in Bay One and Bay Two drive-thrus.
