REGULAR AGENDA
Public Hearings
1. Hold a Public Hearing and consider, and act upon, amending City of Wylie
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance No. 2001-48, Article 9 (Nonconforming Uses and
Structures) setting forth procedures to apply current regulatory systems to projects
to the extent reasonably possible and within the confines of the law and to do all
things reasonably possible to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public. (R.
011ie, Planning Director)
Staff Comments
Planning Director 011ie addressed Council stating that the purpose and intent of the proposed amendment
is an attempt to bring nonconforming properties into conformance with current regulations. The proposed
changes do not prohibit a property from continuing a nonconforming use provided that such use was a
conforming use prior to the time of passage of the previous Zoning Ordinance No. 2001-48 as adopted on
November 11, 2001. Director 011ie reported that one major change in the previous ordinance and the
proposed ordinance is Section 9.5 Expansion of Nonconforming Uses or Structures. She explained that
the previous ordinance allowed up to a fifty percent (50%) expansion of an existing legally nonconforming
structure. What staff is now proposing is to eliminate this 50% regulation. The proposed ordinance would
read: No nonconforming use shall be moved in whole or in part to any other portion of the lot or parcel
occupied by the nonconforming use at the effective date of adoption or amendment of this ordinance. No
additional structures shall be erected in connection with a nonconforming use of property.
She explained that when a property owner makes application for a building permit, that permit vests the
rights based on all current ordinances in place at that time. However, any expansion creates a new
project. Project means an endeavor over which the City exerts its jurisdiction and for which one or more
permits are required to initiate, continue, or complete the endeavor.
Minutes—June 26, 2007

If the original permit did not include or give the City reasonable notice of an expansion, any newly
proposed expansion would generate a new permit. There are provisions in the Ordinance to allow an
applicant to request a hearing by the Zoning Board of Adjustment. When the Board grants a variance for
a nonconforming structure that structure and each non-complying feature becomes legally conforming.
Public Hearing
Mayor Pro Tern Byboth opened the Public Hearing at 6:20 p.m.
No one was present to address Council on Item #1.
Mayor Pro Tern Byboth closed the Public Hearing at 6:20 p.m.
Council Discussion
Mayor Pro Tern Byboth asked WEDC Executive Director Satterwhite if these amendments would affect
industrial buildings. Mr. Satterwhite replied that there were buildings that were made of steel and other
materials that were "dated". If the business owner wished to build on or add a building, in some cases it
would not make sense to add on a completely different material; in other cases this requirement would be
made. Mr. Satterwhite explained that in his opinion, the 50% rule needed to have stronger requirements
and he wished to see a lesser percentage.
Council Action
A motion was made by Councilman Young, seconded by Councilwoman Spillyards to amend
the City of Wylie Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance No. 2001-48, Article 9 (Nonconforming
Uses and Structures) setting forth procedures to apply current regulatory systems to projects to
the extent reasonably possible and within the confines of the law and to do all things reasonably
possible to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public. A vote was taken and passed 5-0
with Mayor Mondy and Councilman White absent.
2. Hold a Public Hearing and consider, and act upon, amending City of Wylie
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance No. 2001-48, Article 2, Section 2.5.4 (Accessory
Buildings). (R. 011ie, Planning Director)
Staff Comments
Planning Director 011ie addressed Council stating that at its June 19th meeting, Planning and Zoning
Commission voted 4-0 to table a recommendation to consider amending Article 2, Section 2.5.4 of the
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. The Commission requested additional time to research and consider
types of exterior materials allowed for accessory buildings, namely composite masonry vs. wood. Ms.
011ie requested Council to continue the public hearing and table this item until the July 10, 2007 regular
Council meeting to allow time for the Planning and Zoning Commission to consider final
recommendations.

Council Discussion
Councilman Porter asked Planning Director 011ie why there was a 20 foot requirement at the back of
property for car ports yet there was only a 5 foot side requirement. Ms. 011ie stated that she had asked
the Building Inspection Director the reasoning behind the 20 foot set back. He explained that it had to do
with safety and having the set backs both on the side and back, as noted, made it harder for someone,
other than the property owner, to enter the property. She noted this safety issue was for those structures
that were attached to the residence. Mayor Pro Tern Byboth asked Ms. 011ie if this was a crime
prevention issue. Ms. 011ie replied that yes it was. Mayor Pro Tem Byboth asked Assistant City Manager
Butters if he say this as a crime issue. Assistant City Manger Butters replied that he did not see it as a
large crime issue but rather, a minor crime issue. Mayor Pro Tem Byboth asked staff if the City was
communicating the requirements for accessory buildings to businesses such as Home Depot so residents
knew before purchasing an accessory building what the requirements were. He stated that he believed
this was beneficial to both the City and to residents to have the businesses communicate the set back
requirements and permitting required prior to purchasing an accessory building. Planning Director 011ie
stated that she would communicate this to the local businesses.
Council Action
A motion was made by Councilman Porter, seconded by Councilman Goss to continue the
Public Hearing until the July 10, 2007 meeting and thereafter to consider amending City of Wylie
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance No. 2001-48, Article 2, Section 2.5.4 (Accessory Buildings).
A vote was taken and passed 5-0 with Mayor Mondy and Councilman White absent.
3. Hold a Public Hearing and consider, and act upon, amending Article II of
Subdivision Regulation Ordinance No. 2003-03, by adding Section 2.12 establishing
regulations regarding the abandonment of Right-Of-Way. (R. 011ie, Planning
Director)
Staff Comments
Planning Director 011ie addressed Council giving some background regarding Ordinance No. 2003-03.
She explained that the City Code Ordinance No. 96-25 required that the City convey, sell or exchange
abandoned street or alley property for the fair market value, and is precluded from giving the property
away or selling it for less than fair market value. City Code Ordinance No. 98-16 established a
consolidated Fees and Charges ordinance including right-of-way abandonment fees. City Code
Ordinance No. 2006-05 repealed in its entirety Ordinance No. 96-25 and repealed Ordinance No. 98-16
Section 42.00(Right-of-way Abandonment Fee).
Ms. 011ie explained that land and those interests as outlined in Local Government Code § 272.001 (b)
may not be conveyed, sold, or exchanged for less than the fair market value of the land or interest unless
the conveyance, sale, or exchange is with one or more abutting property owners who own the underlying
fee simple. The fair market value is determined by an appraisal obtained by the political subdivision that
owns the land or interest or, in the case of land or an interest owned by a home-rule municipality, the fair
market value may be determined by the price obtained by the municipality at a public auction. She
explained that the proposed Ordinance amending the Right-Of-Way abandonment would put in place
procedures for doing so which were not currently in place. She explained that once the ordinance was in
place, anyone wishing to purchase abandoned property would have to place a deposit with the City for
the purchase price of the property prior to it coming to Council for final approval thereby making sure, if
approved, it is on the tax rolls. She explained that if the purchase was denied by Council, the deposit
would then be returned to the prospective buyer.

Direct 011ie reported that the City receives no tax revenue from right-of-way property. If and when the
right-of-way is converted to private ownership, the land and any improvements placed thereon will be
subject to all taxes of the City of Wylie.

General Business
4. Consider, and act upon, approval of a Site Plan and consider an Alternative Parking
Agreement for Best Corner Wylie Addition, Block A, Lots 1 & 2 (Ace Check
Cashing & Metro PCS). Subject property being generally located on the northeast
corner of SH 78 and W. Kirby Street. (R. 011ie, Planning Director)
Staff Comments
Planning Director 011ie addressed Council stating that normally, the review and approval of site plans are
delegated to Planning & Zoning Commission. In this particular case, the applicant is requesting approval
for a special off-site parking alternative along with the site plan in order to meet the minimum on-site
parking required for Lot 1. She explained that the Zoning Ordinance requires City Council review and
approval for special off-site Parking Alternatives. The applicant is proposing to lease two existing
commercial properties located at the northeast corner of SH 78 and W. Kirby Street. The property is
zoned Commercial Corridor(CC) District and consists of two lots totaling .594 acres in size. A preliminary
plat was approved on this property in January 2006 establishing the two lots.
Lot 1 is .15 acres (6,714 sq. ft.) in size with an existing 1,648 sq.ft. brick building on site. In the mid 1990s
TXDOT acquired portions of this property to accommodate the widening and improvements for SH 78.
Recently, the City of Wylie has acquired portions of the property to accommodate rights-of-way for a right-
turn lane and other traffic improvements at the intersection. The applicant is proposing to convert the
existing building into a check cashing service (Ace Cash America). The site work will consist of,
landscape improvements, resurfacing of pavement, relocation of drive way and minimum alterations to
the building elevations; however it does not meet the parking standards required for the property. Lot 1 is
required to have 5 spaces and Lot 2 is required to have 9 spaces. Currently Lot 1 has 1 parking space
and Lot 2 has 16 parking spaces. The applicant is proposing in the agreement to use parking on Lot 2 to
satisfy the requirements for Lot 1.
Lot 2 is .44 acres (19,190 sq. ft.) in size with an existing 1,710 sq. ft. building on site. The applicant is
proposing a cellular communications retail center for the property (Metro PCS). Site improvements
include pavement resurfacing, a drive approach via Kirby Street, landscape improvements, relocation of
dumpster pad and screening and minimum alterations to building elevations.

She reported that the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4-1 to recommend approval subject to City
Council review and approval of the proposed parking agreement document. Planning Director 011ie noted
that there was a lengthy discussion on the vehicle maneuvering of two parking spaces on Lot 1. After
discussion, it was recommended by the Commission to reconfigure the parking spaces to allow only 1
parking space (handicap) and have that space parallel to S.H. 78. Ms. 011ie reported that if approved by
Council, the issuance of the certificate of occupancy for the property is expressively contingent upon this
agreement being filed and recorded with County Clerk and remaining in effect. Consequentially, each
new tenant is bound by this same agreement. If the parking agreement is not filed or is voided by the
owner and/or tenant, each lot would then have to meet all regulations of the Zoning Ordinance or cease
to operate.
Applicant Comments
Stan Haddock (applicant) residing at 221 Country Club Drive, Heath, Texas addressed Council stating
that this property had been a long standing issue which he had been working on since 2003. He
explained that when he purchased the property, the City requested he sell 200 feet of property for a turn
lane. He stated that he agreed to sell the property needed for the turn lane to save the City the expense
of using another alternative for the turn lane. He reported that if he had kept the 200 feet, he would have
had 6 parking spots. He asked the City to consider his request to utilize the parking on Lot 2 to satisfy his
requirements on Lot 1. He stated that he would be agreeable to designing the property so as to put the
entrance wherever it worked best on the property. He explained that the two lots work as "one property"
with good circulation and parking.
Citizen Comments
John Onufreiczuk residing at 3103 Bryce Drive, Wylie, Texas addressed Council stating that he was
representing several other citizens that had concerns. He reported that there was a concern regarding the
right turn off of Kirby to Highway 78. If someone was also backing out of the proposed property onto
Highway 78, this would be a traffic nightmare. He also asked Council to look closely at the "best" use of
the property, with the use of a parking agreement. He stated that personally he did not believe it was the
"best"use of this particular property.
Marvin Fuller residing at 355 Donna, Wylie Texas addressed Council stating that the proposed area was
one of the most visible corners in Wylie and he appreciated the Council trying to accommodate the
applicant Mr. Haddock; but on the other hand he would like to see this property have the "best" use and
"best" look possible. He stated that he could not see exceptions made to Lot 1, which is the most visible
area, for parking. He explained that whether this property was owned by two owners or one, it made no
difference; this is an opportunity to get more.
Council Discussion
Councilwoman Spillyards asked what the intent was behind shared parking. Was it for partial parking for
one owner or the other? Planning Director 011ie explained that there were two types of parking
arrangements; one was shared parking and the other was alternative parking. She explained that the
intent was if you have a piece of property that can not meet the parking requirements and you have two
businesses that do not maintain the same business hours then shared parking is used to accommodate
both businesses. Alternative parking which is the type of parking requested tonight is used for properties
that do not have the required parking and use alternative parking on adjacent property. City Manager
Manson commented that the zoning ordinance normally requires parking on the same property; but there
are circumstances where the required parking can not be met., thus requiring some parking on another
lot. This case is extreme whereby no parking is available on the proposed Lot 1 and all parking comes
from alternative parking on another lot. She stated that in her opinion the ordinance was set up to give a
property owner some flexibility to meet their parking requirements; without being completely dependent
on other property for all parking requirements. Councilman Porter stated that he had concerns regarding
both businesses being open at the same time and sharing the parking area. Councilman Goss
commented that he was very concerned that the applicant was depending on one piece of property for all
his parking requirements for both businesses.

Councilman White absent. Item was denied.
5. Consider, and act upon, Ordinance No. 2007-18 adopting a date for the public
hearing of the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). (C. Holsted, City Engineer)
Staff Comments
City Manager Manson addressed Council stating that on May 22, 2007 Council approved an engineering
services agreement to update the Thoroughfare Impact Fees. The fees were last adopted on July 25,
2006. The update is necessary to add Hensley Lane and Springwell Parkway to the capital improvements
plan. Potential development in the western portion of the City has made the construction of these
roadways necessary.

City Secretary Ehrlich addressed Council stating that Article 8, Section 1A of the Wylie Charter authorizes
the City Council to appoint members to serve on boards, commissions and committees to help carry out
