REGULAR AGENDA
PUBLIC HEARING
1. Hold a Public Hearing and consider, and act upon, amending the zoning from
Planned Development (PD2007-35) - Neighborhood Services (NS) to Planned
Development-Single Family District (PD-SF) for single family dwellings on 4.86 acres.
Located on the northeast corner of FM 544 and Collins Blvd. ZC 2013-06. (R. 011ie,
Planning Director)
Staff Comments
Planning Director 011ie addressed council stating that the applicant is requesting to establish permanent
zoning on approximately five acres. There are two separate tracts of land included in this request. Both
tracts are currently zoned PD 2007-35, which was originally intended for a daycare use when zoned in
2007.
This zoning request is to initially develop a set of model homes to serve home builders in the Bozman
Farms subdivision (PD 2002-52). Eventually these model homes and the street frontage will be
reconfigured to serve as single family residences. Included in the agenda packet are Exhibit "C" (Model
Exhibit Phase 1) and Exhibit"D" (Phase 2) which illustrates the proposed layouts and shall be made a part
of the adopted Ordinance. The minimum lots size allowed is 7,500 square with the lot size average set at a
minimum 9,500 square feet. The minimum dwelling size is 2,200 square feet with half being over 2,400
square feet.
Council/Applicant Comments
Applicant Chris Seely representing Ridlinger Associates, 550 S. Edmonds Ste. 101, Lewisville addressed
council stating that the zoning request is to initially develop a set of model homes to serve home builders in
the Bozman Farms subdivision (PD 2002-52). Eventually these model homes and the street frontage will
be reconfigured to serve as single family residences.
Mayor Hogue asked Mr. Seely how soon the building would begin on the model homes. Mr. Seely replied
that after approval of the zoning case and preliminary plat, they would be ready to start the beginning of
2014.
Councilman Wintters asked Mr. Seely if there were plans for landscaping the area. Mr. Seely explained that
the entry to Bozman Farms, at one time, looked very nice but over time has deteriorated. The proposed
landscape plan will include improvements to the entry as well as landscaping around the proposed parking
lot as these are both a significant portion of the entry to the development. The landscape plans are still
under consideration but will be brought to council once completed.
Mayor Hogue asked about sidewalks in and around the new model homes. Mr. Seely reported the
sidewalks would be constructed to tie in the model homes but could extend further or be integrated into the
trail system close by. Mayor Hogue asked how many lots would be in the first phase. Mr. Seely reported
that approximately 193 lots would be proposed.
Public Hearing
Mayor Hogue opened the public hearing on Zoning Case 2013-06 at 6:23 p.m. asking anyone

2. Consider, and act upon, Ordinance No. 2013-39 of the City Council of the City of
Wylie, Texas, approving a Negotiated Resolution between the Atmos Cities Steering
Committee and Atmos Energy Corp., Mid-Tex Division regarding the company's 2013
Annual Rate Review Mechanism Filing in all Cities exercising Original Jurisdiction;
Declaring Existing Rates to be unreasonable; Adopting Tariffs that reflect rate
adjustments consistent with the Negotiated Settlement and finding the rates to be set
by the attached Tariffs to be just and reasonable; Requiring The Company to
reimburse Cities' reasonable ratemaking expenses; Repealing conflicting Resolutions
or Ordinances; Determining that this Ordinance was passed in accordance with the
requirements of the Texas Open Meetings Act; Adopting a Savings Clause; Declaring
an Effective Date; Providing a Most Favored Nations Clause; and requiring delivery of
this Ordinance to the Company and the Steering Committee's Legal Counsel. (M.
Manson, City Manager)
Staff Comments
City Manager Manson addressed council stating that the City of Wylie, along with approximately 164 other
cities served by Atmos Energy Mid-Tex Division ("Atmos Mid-Tex" or "Company"), is a member of the
Atmos Cities Steering Committee ("ACSC"). On or about July 15, 2013, Atmos Mid-Tex filed with the City
an application to increase natural gas rates pursuant to the Rate Review Mechanism ("RRM")tariff renewed
by the City in 2013 as a continuation and refinement of the previous RRM rate review process. This is the
first annual RRM filing under the renewed RRM tariff.
City Manager Manson reported that Atmos Mid-Tex RRM filing sought a $22.7 million rate increase system-
wide based on an alleged test-year cost of service revenue deficiency of $25.7 million. The Ordinance
resolves the Company's RRM filing by authorizing additional revenues to the Company of $16.6 million
system-wide. For purposes of comparison, this negotiated result is about $11 million less than what
ACSC's consultants calculated that Atmos would have been entitled to if Atmos had filed a case under the
Gas Reliability Infrastructure Program ("GRIP") rather than an RRM case. The settlement is expected to
increase the average residential customer's bill by approximately $0.74 per month. An Average Bill
Comparison of base rates has been prepared for residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation
customers. Atmos currently has the option to go directly to the Texas Railroad Commission (RRM) for
approval of rate changes but chooses to continue to negotiate settlements through GRIP and the ACSC.
Council Action
A motion was made by Councilwoman Culver, seconded by Councilman Stephens to adopt
Ordinance No. 2013-39 of the City Council of the City of Wylie, Texas, approving a Negotiated

Staff Comments

for capital improvements. A portion of Ballard Avenue is located in Dallas County and is shown on the

project. In September 2012, staff submitted an application to Dallas County for funding of this portion of
roadway.

WORK SESSION
• Hold a work session to discuss the alley located east of Birmingham Elementary and
north of West Brown Street. (C. Hoisted, City Engineer)
City Engineer Hoisted addressed council stating that the reconstruction of West Brown Street is
nearing completion. The intersection of the alley located between Birmingham Elementary School
and Premiere Learning Center is at a lower elevation than the newly reconstructed roadway. As a
result, the storm water from the alley cannot enter the street and the storm sewer system.
Hoisted stated there are three options available to correct the drainage issue:
1. Rebuild the alley to a higher elevation which would include removing and replacing the

existing alley (Assume 16'wide) Estimated cost would be $32,717.07.
2. Install a storm sewer system to intercept the storm water at an estimated cost of

3. Remove the alley paving and re-grade the area with turf or some other type of material at

grade.
