ZONING WORK SESSION - MINUTES

The City of Wylie City Council and Planning and Zoning
Commission met in a called session on Tuesday, May 29, 1990
at 7 :00 P.M. in the Council Chambers of the Municipal
Complex . A quorum was present and notice of the meeting had
been posted in the time and manner required by law. Those
present were Mayor John Akin, Mayor Pro Tem Don Hughes,
Council Members Pat Stemple, Steve Wright, Percy Simmons,
and William Martin, Planning and Zoning Commission, Chairman
Brian Chaney, Members Bart Peddicord, Jim Ferguson, Bob
Skipwith, Richard Eckman, Bobby Jennings and Cecilia Wood,
City Manager Charles Norwood, City Secretary Carolyn Jones,
and Code Enforcement Officer Ed Richie.
Mayor Akin called the meeting to order and stated that this
was a work session on the Land Use Assumptions and Capital
Improvements Plan and Impact Fees.
Mr. Terry Millican presented the Land Use Assumptions and
Capital Improvements Plan to the two boards. Mr. Millican
stated that it is important to remember that the service
areas has a population projection of 7% compounded annually
which will double the population in Wylie in the next 10
years. The Land Use Assumptions is using the land use plan
the City adopted several years ago. There are four areas
that could be considered in the Capital Improvements Plan,
they are water , wastewater , storm drainage and streets. The
City has chosen to only use water and wastewater . The first
thing we did was to see how your system compared to your
population. The water system has two major problems, a
shortage of elevated tank capacity and the facility serving
Steel Road Industrial Park and Southfork Mobile HOme Park
should be linked to the main system. This area could not
handle the flow of water necessary in case of a fire. The
wastewater system is okay with the project you are currently
working on and when this is completed , you should be able to
meet the needs of the City. The water system improvements
for the next ten years, need another elevated storage tank,
connecting the lines for the two systems together and some
other extended line construction. This new elevated storage
tank should be somewhere along FM 1378 , should be at least
750,000 gallons. The impact fee collected in 1991 should
be set up in a special fund. As you begin to put in the
capital improvements, you will begin to spend this money.
Need to remember that these monies must be spent, if you
have not spent the money collected in 1991 by 2001, then you
will have problems with the State from Senate Bill 336 .
Mr. Keith Reed from Reed and Stowe, stated that the Council
has the choice of setting the maximum for water/wastewater
impact fee or they can set the minimum. Mr. Reed said they
would suggest not to set the maximum, if you over charge,
then you will be making reimbursements with interest. Mr .
Reed stated that Planning and Zoning is serving as the
Advisory Committee and will be making written reports to the
Council every 6 months.
There being no other matters for this work session, a motion
was made to adjourn with all in favor .
John Akin, Mayor
