1. Consider and Act Upon Approval of the FY05 4B Budget and the Community Services Facilities
Capital Improvement Plan.
Executive Summary
As set out in the Articles of Incorporation, the Board has the power to authorize the expenditure of Sales Tax Funds for projects
approved by the City Council and to implement the Community Services Facilities Capital Improvement Plan as adopted by the City of
Wylie. Further,the Bylaws state that"It shall be the duty and obligation of the Board to finance and implement the Community Services
Facilities Capital Improvement Plan as adopted by the Wylie City Council."
2. Consider and act upon an ordinance of the City of Wylie, Texas, adopting a budget and
appropriating resources for Fiscal Year 2005, beginning October 1, 2004, and ending September 30,
2005.
Executive Summary
The tax rate for fiscal year 2004-2005 is proposed to decrease$0.01 per$100 assessed valuation from$0.705 to$0.695. This will be the fourth
year in a row that the tax rate has decreased. The combined decrease for the four-year period is $0.03 per$100 assessed valuation. A rapid
increase in our total assessed taxable valuation has made this decrease possible. Since fiscal year 2000,the taxable tax base has increased$852
million or 157.1%. For fiscal year 2004-2005,the total assessed value increased by $253,858,535. Of this amount$182,573,710 represented
new construction. An increase in the assessed valuation in FY2004 in combination with a decrease in the tax rate will generate an additional
$1,729,584 in ad valorem tax revenues. Because no general obligation debt was issued during FY2004 the tax revenues required for debt
service will remain constant and the increased revenues will be credited to the General Fund.
3. Consider and act upon an ordinance fixing the tax rate/levy for 2004 and for the fiscal year 2004-2005
Budget. The tax rate proposed is sixty-nine and one-half cents ($0.695) per$100 of assessed value.
Executive Summary
In accordance with the Truth-in-Taxation laws of the State of Texas,notices must be published and a public hearing must be held if an entity's
proposed tax rate exceeds 103% of the effective tax rate. The City Council is required to vote on the proposed tax rate and the City must
publish the results of the roll call vote at least seven days prior to the scheduled public hearing. The results of the roll call vote were published
in The McKinney Courier-Gazette on August 23, 2004 and The Wylie News on August 25, 2004, and a public hearing was held August 31,
2004. The proposed tax rate of$0.695 represents a one-cent decrease from the FY2004 rate. One cent of the proposed tax rate will generate
approximately$139,500. The tax rate for maintenance and operations is$0.555908 per$100 of assessed valuation and the debt service rate is
$0.139092. This tax ordinance will generate new levies of$7,601,545 in the General Fund and $1,901,959 in the General Obligation Debt
Service Fund. The revenue from the ad valorem taxes is the primary source of funding in the General Obligation Debt Service Fund and
represents approximately 51% of total General Fund revenues. Article 7, Section 3(D), Failure to Adopt, of the City's Home Rule Charter
states that if the City fails to adopt the budget by the twenty-seventh day of September,the tax rate adopted will be the same as the current
fiscal year. The adopted Fiscal Year 2004-2005 budget requires the support of this ordinance.
Public Hearings
4. Hold a Public Hearing and act upon a change in zoning from Agriculture (A) District to Single
Family Residential (SF-10/19) District. Subject property being all of a certain 14.7751 acre tract of
land generally located east of Troy Road and north of County Line Road, being part of tract of land
deeded to Ishmael Leon Whitsell and wife as recorded in Volume 44, Page 204 of the Deed Records
of Rockwall County, Texas, and part of a tract conveyed Lola M. Kinser as recorded in Volume 40,
Page 591 of the Deed Records of Rockwall County, and situated in the L.B. Outlaw Survey,
Abstract No. 173, City of Wylie, Rockwall County, Texas. (Zoning Case No. 2004-15)
Executive Summary
The subject property was annexed into the City of Wylie on June 8,2004,and was at that time zoned as Agriculture(A)District. The
applicant earlier submitted a request for rezoning of the property, which would have created 4.8 acres of Neighborhood Service (NS)
retail and 10 acres of Single Family 1A(SF-1A/26)Residential with the intent to create 5 acre tracts rather than one acre lots. That
request was withdrawn prior to consideration by the Planning and Zoning Commission. On July 27,the City Council denied a request by
the applicant to waive the alleys that are required by the Subdivision Regulations. The current request is to rezone the property to Single
Family 10 Residential(SF-10/19)in order to divide the property into lots of at least 10,000 square feet. At the August 17,2004 meeting,
the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval of Zoning Case 2004-15. Staff recommends denial although the
request does conform to the general philosophy of the Comprehensive Plan as well as to development trends in the immediate vicinity,it
does not comply with the specific recommendations of the Future Land Use Map to provide larger lots throughout the Exterritorial
Jurisdiction.
5. Hold a Public Hearing and act upon a change in zoning from Neighborhood Services (NS) District
to Community Retail (CR)District. Subject property being all of a certain 11.429 acre tract of land
generally located east of Country Club Road (F.M. 1378) and north of West Brown Street (F.M.
3412), being part of tract of land deeded to Ronald J. Johnson as recorded in Volume 5142, Page
3171 of the Deed Records of Collin County, Texas, and all of a 0.50 acre tract conveyed Ronald J.
Johnson as recorded in Volume 5180, Page 1067 of the Deed Records of Collin County, and situated
in the Charles Atterbury Survey, Abstract No. 22, City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas. (Zoning
Case No. 2004-16) and ACCEPT THE WITHDRAWAL BY THE APPLICANT.
Executive Summary
At the public hearing held by the Planning and Zoning Commission on August 17, 2004, the applicant requested that the proposed
rezoning be withdrawn in order to allow time to conform the proposal more closely to the recommendations of staff and Commission.
The applicant's letter of withdrawal is attached. Because the request for rezoning has been publicized and adjacent properties notified of
the public hearing,the Council should convene the hearing to receive any citizen comments and accept the withdrawal.
6. Hold a Public Hearing and act upon a change in zoning from Agriculture (A) and Neighborhood
Services (NS)Districts to Planned Development(PD) District for mixed uses including retail, multi-
family and singly-family residential of varied types and densities. Subject property being all of a
certain 214.18 acre tract of land generally located in the south corner of South Ballard Avenue
(Sachse Road) and Pleasant Valley Road (C.R. 378),being part of a 118.67 acre tract of land deeded
to Grove Farm, Ltd. as recorded in Volume 5317, Page 5455 of the Deed Records of Collin County,
and Volume 2002250, Page 5070 of the Deed Records of Dallas County, and part of a 38.129 acre
tract conveyed Joy Grove Bruner as recorded in Volume 555, Page 232 of the Deed Records of
Collin County, and part of a 38.13 acre tract deeded to Joy Grove Bruner as recorded in Volume
3535, Page 292 of the Deed Records of Collin County and Volume 91100, page 1278 of the Deed
Records of Dallas County, and situated in the Guadalupe De Santos Survey, Abstract No. 1384,
City of Wylie, Collin and Dallas Counties, Texas. (Zoning Case No. 2004-17) Consider and act
upon the Tabling of Zoning Case#2004-17 until the September 28th Council Meeting.
Executive Summary
The applicant has requested that consideration of the request be postponed until the September 28, 2004 City Council meeting.
However,the request has already been published in the newspaper,notices have been mailed to adjacent property owners as required by
State law and notification signs have been placed on the subject property. Several neighboring property owners have submitted response
forms. Because of this notification, Council should convene the public hearing and table consideration until the September 28
meeting.
7. Hold a Public Hearing and act upon a change in zoning from Business Center (BC) District to
Business Center with a Special Use Permit (SUP) for warehouse and distribution use. Subject
property located at 2803 Capital Street, being Lot 11, Block B of the Regency Business Park Phase
II Addition, and situated in the William Sachse Survey, Abstract No. 835, City of Wylie, Collin
County, Texas. (Zoning Case No. 2004-18)
Executive Summary
The subject property was created in 1987 in the Regency Business Park Phase 2 Addition. The lot totals approximately 0.9 of an acre,
and fronts 50 feet on the north side of Capital Street. An 8,000 square feet masonry building occupies the lot,having been developed in
March of 2003 in conformance to a Site Plan approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The building is now vacant. The
property is currently zoned Business Center(BC)District,having been rezoned from Industrial (I)with the adoption of the City-wide
revision of the Zoning Ordinance and Map in November of 2001. The previous use was a Showroom/Warehouse for an electrical
fixtures company,which is allowed by right in both the previous Industrial and the current Business Center zoning.The applicant desires
to use the facility for the warehousing and distribution of construction materials. Warehousing and distribution was allowed by right
under the previous Industrial zoning,but is allowed within the Business Center District only by an approved Specific Use Permit. At the
August 17, 2004 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval of Zoning Case 2004-18. Staff
also recommends approval.
8. Consider and act upon a bid for two rescue hovercraft for the Wylie Fire Department.
Executive Summary
The fiscal 2004 operating budget for the Fire Department included funding for a Fire Prevention Inspector's vehicle and a mobile breathing air
system. The department obtained TEEX grants to cover the cost of both of these items, thereby freeing up the budgeted funds for other
purposes.The Fire Department has been authorized to use those available funds to purchase two hovercrafts for swift water rescue operations.
Competitive sealed bids have been solicited and received from Neoteric Hovercraft in the amount of$44,473.00 and West Coast Hovercraft in
the amount of$37,610.00. Although it is the low bid,the unit offered by West Coast Hovercraft does not meet the City's specifications. The
total budget allocation for the vehicle and breathing air system was $63,430. Because delivery is likely to be after October 1, it may be
necessary to carry the funds over into the fiscal 2005 budget. Staff recommends that Council award a contract in the amount of$44,473.00 to
Neoteric,Inc. for the purchase of two rescue hovercraft.

WYLIE CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM NO. B.
September 14, 2004
Issue
Consider and act upon the approval of an ordinance designating Springwood Lane and a portion of
Lanwood Drive as Temporary One-Way Streets in School Zones between the hours of 2:15 p.m. and
3:15 p.m. on all school days for Akin Elementary.
Background
This school year there has been considerable congestion in front of Akin Elementary during afternoon
pick-up. The traffic congestion has been much worse than in years past. The result of the increased
traffic has been long lines and logjams at the W.A. Allen and Springwood and Springwood and Lanwood
intersections.
Staff including Police Chief Butters and City Engineer Chris Holsted have studied the traffic flow during
afternoon pickup and have discussed the issue with the Akin Principal and Dr. Fuller and his staff.
Some factors involved in the congestion are: cars picking up students in front of the school attempting to
exit by going eastbound on Springwood adding to the congestion at the W.A. Allen intersection, drivers
exiting westbound toward Lanwood getting blocked by traffic traveling North on Lanwood, and buses
and cars picking up students traveling on Lanwood that must get to the back of the school for fourth
grade and daycare pickups.
The logjams at the intersections(mentioned above)are keeping cars that have already picked students up
from exiting in a timely fashion and backing up the entire process.
The solution staff has proposed is to make Springwood a temporary one-way street westerly from the
Springwood and W.A. Allen intersection and to the Springwood and Lanwood intersection.We are also
proposing to make Lanwood a temporary one-way southerly from its intersection with Springwood to
the intersection of Lanwood and Heatherwood. (See Attached Diagram) The designated time for these
temporary one way streets will be from 2:15 p.m. until 3:15 p.m. on all school days for Akin Elementary.
Lanwood will be blocked,just north of the Springwood/Lanwood intersection. Blocking Lanwood will
force traffic picking up in the back of the school onto Foxwood.
The proposed solution should substantially reduce the logjam at the Springwood and Lanwood
intersection and allow the cars picking up in front to exit more quickly.
Financial Considerations
Signs and installation will cost approximately $800.00
Staff Recommendations
Pass the proposed Ordinance.

AGENDA ITEM NO. la.
September 14, 2004
Issue
Consider and Act Upon Approval of the FY05 4B Budget, authorizing expenditures for the FY05
Community Services Facilities Capital Improvement Plan.
Background
The Parks and Recreation Facilities Development Corporation was established in accordance with State law
as a result of the January 15, 1994 election approving the cent sales tax for parks,recreation,and library
projects. The Board of Directors of the Corporation are:
Mayor John Monde
Mayor Pro Tern Eric Hogue
Councilmember J.C.Worley
Councilmember Chris Trout
Shirley Burnett—Library Board Member
Dan Chesnut-Parks Board Member
Ann Hiney—Parks Board Member
As set out in the Articles of Incorporation, the Board has the power to authorize the expenditure of Sales
Tax Funds for projects approved by the City Council. Further, the Bylaws state that "It shall be the duty
and obligation of the Board to finance and implement the Community Services Facilities Capital
Improvement Plan as adopted by the Wylie City Council."
Changes in State law during the 2003 Legislative Session made it so that 4B funds can no longer be used
for Library purposes. Items that had been previously funded for the Library from 4B were shifted to the
General Fund in FY2004. Proposed for FY2005 is the transfer of all Community Center expenditures to
the General Fund. This is to allow a growth in fund balances for future capital expenditures.
Proposed expenditures are for four personnel in the Parks Department. The proposed Park projects in
Olde City Park constitute the Community Services Capital Facilities Improvement Plan for FY2005.
Financial Considerations
Attached is a draft summary of the 4B Revenue Fund from the FY04 Budget. The beginning fluid balance,
coupled with the anticipated Sales Tax revenue for the coining budget year yields a total available resource
of$1,540,500.
Other Considerations
The authority to levy the '/-cent sales tax is established in the Development Corporation Act of 1979,
Article 5190.6, Section 4B, Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes, as amended. The Act required the creation
of the Parks and Recreation Facilities Development Corporation which receives and manages the sales tax
receipts.

The tax rate for fiscal year 2004-2005 is proposed to decrease $0.01 per $100 assessed valuation
from $0.705 to $0.695. This will be the fourth year in a row that the tax rate has decreased. The
combined decrease for the four-year period is$0.03 per$100 assessed valuation. A rapid increase in
our total assessed taxable valuation has made this decrease possible. Since fiscal year 2000, the
taxable tax base has increased $852 million or 157.1%.
For fiscal year 2004-2005, the total assessed value increased by $253,858,535. Of this amount
$182,573,710 represented new construction. An increase in the assessed valuation in FY2004 in
combination with a decrease in the tax rate will generate an additional$1,729,584 in ad valorem tax
revenues. Because no general obligation debt was issued during FY2004 the tax revenues required
for debt service will remain constant and the increased revenues will be credited to the General Fund.
The original estimate of the General Fund Balance at the end of fiscal year 2004 was $1,810,830.
After staff review, revenues at the end of fiscal year 2004 are now estimated to increase$1,003,900
over the original estimate to $12,436,000. Significant increases in fiscal year 2003-2004 revenues
over the amended budget are estimated in Sales Taxes ($218,140), Franchise Fees ($269,000),
Licenses and Permits($265,400), and Service Fees($237,700). Year-end expenditures are estimated
to be $213,450 less than amended budget figures and are spread across the whole fund. As a result,
the fiscal year 2004 ending fund balance in the General Fund is now estimated to be $3,374,830.
The FY2005 budget was prepared to maintain the same level of fund balance as in prior years.
Typically, the City attempts to maintain a fund balance that is 15% of total estimated expenditures.
The budget process begins with departments preparing requests that include a base-line projection,
which is basically a projection to continue the same level of service as the current year. Additionally,
they project any expanded levels of service. The base-line request and the expanded levels of service
are compared to the projected revenues and the fund balance requirement to develop a proposal for
City Council consideration. The major increase in the General Fund for FY2005 is the addition of
(19.4)Full Time Equivalent positions. The new positions include one Warrant Officer/Bailiff in the
Municipal Court; one CID Detective and six Patrol Officers in the Police Department;one Emergency
Medical Services Officer, one Administrative Clerk, and the conversion of 3 FTE part-time
Firefighters to 3 full-time Firefighters; one Plans Examiner in Building Inspections; one Street
Crewleader and two Maintenance Workers in the Street Department; one Parks Crewleader in the
Parks Department; one Wylie Wave Program Leader and one Wylie Wave Assistant Site Supervisor
in the Recreation Department. Current Wylie Wave staff and Management were relocated to the
General Fund's Recreation Department from 4B. The Library added one Library Clerk and reduced
10 hours part-time.
In the Utility Fund, fund balance (working capital) is budgeted to decrease $1,173,840 from the
estimated ending fund balance of$3,273,960 for 2004. Three general areas have a major impact on
this decrease. First, is the completion of the Muddy Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. In prior
years the City has made various payments for engineering, bond reserve funding, and debt service
payments. Beginning in FY2005 we will become responsible for operational costs as well as
continued debt service. Second, is the addition of the five additional positions detailed below. The
third area is an additional $0.05/1,000 gallon increase in the price that we pay NTMWD for water
purchases. The Utility Fund in FY2005 will be adding 5 new FTE positions. The new positions
include one Utility Administration clerk in the Utilities-Administration department; one Water Utility
Supervisor in Utilities-Water department; one Engineering Technician in Engineering; one
Maintenance Worker II in Utilities-Sewer and one Utility Billing Clerk in Utility Billing.
The attached summary of all operating and capital funds includes the budget for the Wylie Economic
Development Corporation.
Financial Considerations
For all budgeted funds, the projected totals for revenues and expenditures are $33,959,050 and
$35,435,140, respectively. Projected expenditures will be$1,476,090 greater than budgeted revenues
for all funds. The net$1,476,090 spending in excess of revenues is due to drawdowns in fund balance
in the General and Utility Funds.
The budgeted ending fund balance for the General Fund in FY2005 is $2,528,870. This amount
equates to a reserve of 15.8% of budgeted expenditures or approximately 58 days of operating
expenses. The budgeted ending fund balance (working capital) in the Utility Fund in FY 2005 is
$2,033,120. This amount equates to about 83 days of operating expenses or 22.9% of budgeted
expenditures on hand.
Three items were changed from the proposed budget prepared for the public hearing on August 31,
2004. Two items have been rolled forward from FY2004 into FY2005 and one item was a
correction. The two items rolled forward have no effect on ending fund balance. One item rolled
forward ($3,000) is in the 4B Sales Tax Fund and is for street banners that were not purchased in
FY2004. The other item rolled forward ($67,000) is in the Water and Sewer Fund and is for the
completion of a sewer construction project. Again, neither of these items will change our previously
projected ending balances in the two funds. The third item was to make our Transfers from Other
Funds agree with our Transfers to Other Funds agree.
Other Considerations
Two action items will be placed on the September 14, 2004, City Council agenda. The first item will
be an ordinance to adopt the FY2005 budget. An ordinance to adopt a tax rate of$0.695 per$100 of
assessed valuation will be the second item.

WYLIE CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM NO. I
September 14, 2004
Issue
Consider and Act Upon an ordinance fixing the tax rate/levy for 2004 and for the fiscal year 2004-2005
Budget. The tax rate proposed is sixty-nine and one-half cents ($0.695) per $100 of assessed value.
Background
In accordance with the Truth-in-Taxation laws of the State of Texas, notices must be published and a
public hearing must be held if an entity's proposed tax rate exceeds 103% of the effective tax rate. The
City Council is required to vote on the proposed tax rate and the City must publish the results of the roll
call vote at least seven days prior to the scheduled public hearing. The results of the roll call vote were
published in The McKinney Courier-Gazette on August 23, 2004 and The Wylie News on August 25,
2004, and a public hearing was held August 31, 2004.
The proposed tax rate of$0.695 represents a one-cent decrease from the FY2004 rate. One cent of the
proposed tax rate will generate approximately$139,500. The tax rate for maintenance and operations is
$0.555908 per $100 of assessed valuation and the debt service rate is $0.139092.
Financial Considerations
This tax ordinance will generate new levies of$7,601,545 in the General Fund and $1,901,959 in the
General Obligation Debt Service Fund. The revenue from the ad valorem taxes is the primary source of
funding in the General Obligation Debt Service Fund and represents approximately 51%oftotal General
Fund revenues.
Other Considerations
Article 7, Section 3(D),Failure to Adopt, of the City's Home Rule Charter states that if the City fails to
adopt the budget by the twenty-seventh day of September, the tax rate adopted will be the same as the
current fiscal year. The adopted Fiscal Year 2004-2005 budget requires the support of this ordinance.
Staff Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the proposed 2004 Tax Rate and Levy Ordinance as
submitted.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 4.
September 14, 2004
Issue
Hold a Public Hearing and act upon a change in zoning from Agriculture(A)District to Single Family
Residential (SF-10/19) District. Subject property being all of a certain 14.7751 acre tract of land
generally located east of Troy Road and north of County Line Road, being part of tract of land
deeded to Ishmael Leon Whitsell and wife as recorded in Volume 44,Page 204 of the Deed Records
of Rockwall County, Texas, and part of a tract conveyed Lola M. Kinser as recorded in Volume 40,
Page 591 of the Deed Records of Rockwall County, and situated in the L.B. Outlaw Survey,Abstract
No. 173, City of Wylie, Rockwall County, Texas. (Zoning Case No. 2004-15)
Background
The subject property was annexed into the City of Wylie on June 8, 2004, and was at that time zoned
as Agriculture (A) District. Agriculture is applied as a "holding" classification to undeveloped
properties only until such time as appropriate urban uses are determined for the land.
The applicant earlier submitted a request for rezoning of the property, which would have created 4.8
acres of Neighborhood Service(NS)retail fronting Troy Road and 10 acres of Single Family lA(SF-
1A/26) Residential to its rear toward the east— although the applicant stated the intent to create 5
acre tracts rather than one acre lots. That request was withdrawn prior to consideration by the
Planning and Zoning Commission.
On July 27,the City Council denied a request by the applicant to waive the alleys that are required by
the Subdivision Regulations. The intent was to develop larger lots for which, in the view of the
applicant, alleys are not appropriate.
The current request is to rezone the property to Single Family 10 Residential(SF-10/19)in order to
divide the property into lots of at least 10,000 square feet. All future development will comply fully
with the standard requirements of the current Zoning Ordinance and other applicable City of Wylie
codes. Approval of preliminary and final plats will be required for each tract prior to the initiation of
any development. When platted, the development must provide alleys as well as comply with all
other requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
The subject property totals 14.776 acres, and is undeveloped forest and pasture lands. The property
is part of a nearly twenty(20)acre tract under the same ownership. This larger tract is traversed by a
major electric transmission line of the Garland Power and Light Company which is the corporate
jurisdiction of the City of Garland. The remaining 5 acres to the southeast is within unincorporated
Rockwall County and within the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction of the City of Rowlett, and abuts Lake
Ray Hubbard which is owned and managed by the City of Dallas.
The property to the west of the subject property across Troy Road is within the City of Wylie and is
undeveloped but zoned for Multi-Family(MF)Residential uses. Properties abutting to the north of
the subject property are within unincorporated Rockwall County, and are largely developed with
single-family residences as the Sunrise Beach Estates subdivision with lots which range from 6,000
sq. ft. to 10,500 sq. ft. Properties to the south are undeveloped and within unincorporated Rockwall
County. The applicant also owns the lake-fronting property to the east of the City of Garland power
transmission corridor as well as the property to the south of the subject property, and is currently
offering this area for sale as rural lots of 5 acres or larger in order to accommodate on-site septic
sewerage.
Public Comment Forms were mailed to two(2)property owners on the Municipal tax rolls and within
200 feet of this request as required by State law. No Comment Forms have been returned at the time
of posting.
Financial Considerations
Zoning application fee has been paid.
Other Considerations
1. The currently-adopted Comprehensive Plan recommends that the entirety of the subject property
be developed for low-density County Residential uses, with lots in excess of one acre each. The
Planning and Zoning Commission is currently reevaluating the Comprehensive Plan, but has
indicated general affirmation of these recommendations of current Land Use Plan. The requested
SF-10/26 District does not conform to this recommendation of the Plan.
However, the Comprehensive Plan is based on a Village Center philosophy, which recommends
decreasing densities as distances increase from such retail Village Centers. The closest retail is
both identified by the Plan and already zoned as NS on County Line Road approximately 1,500
feet from the subject property, and the philosophy of the Comprehensive Plan is to allow high-
densities within this distance. Properties beyond that distance, such as the subject tract, are
recommended as Suburban Residential uses with lots of 10,000 to 30,000 square feet, and
Country Residential lots of an acre and larger are recommended for distances beyond 3,000 feet
distance. The requested rezoning to 10,000 square feet lots does conform to the strict application
of this philosophy.
2. If developed as recommended by the currently-adopted Comprehensive Plan, as Country
Residential uses accommodating lots of at least an acre in size,the entire 14.8 acre property could
accommodate no more than 14 residential lots. The 14.8 acres could yield as many as 44 lots of
the proposed size of 10,000 square feet including 25%for streets(or a gross density of 3 lots per
acre).
3. All developments within the City of Wylie must be connected to the City's sewerage system, and
the entirety of the subject property can be connected to the public system. Properties outside of
the City's jurisdiction may not be connected to City sewerage, so the remainder of the parent
property outside of the City must be served by private on-site septic systems and must be of
sufficient size to accommodate such systems. Rockwall County and the City of Rowlett have
endorsed the use of septic tanks for this area, but lots must generally be at least one and three-
fourths (1 3/4) acres to such on-site treatment.
4. The recent annexation of the subject property into the City of Wylie, and subsequent compliance
with the City's development codes, provides a significant upgrading of the quality of residential
construction as well as adequate sewerage, streets and other public services. The applicant could
develop residential lots of one and three-fourths acre without annexation into the City but at a
lower cost/quality by compliance with the lesser development codes of the County. The
development as proposed could encourage the future annexation and improvement of the
immediate area. However, some of the neighboring property is already divided and developed
contrary to Wylie requirements, greatly limiting the capability for such collective actions as
annexation and provision of central sewerage.
5. The proposed minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet is larger than the existing lots within the
neighboring Sunrise Beach Estates Addition, which is located within unincorporated Rockwall
County to the north. However,this area does not have access to public sewerage and in order to
accommodate on-site septic systems,most of the houses within Sunrise Beach occupy as many as
four lots combined. The closest subdivisions within the City of Wylie are the Redwood Mobile
Home Park and the developing Pheasant Creek Addition, both of which have lots of 7,200 square
feet.
6. The limited frontage which the property has along Troy Road (approximately 350 feet), its
triangular configuration, the traversing power transmission corridor, and differing governmental
jurisdictions, present constraints to the development of the subject property. The proposed
subdivision into smaller lots better addresses these constraints, and allows it to be developed more
efficiently.
Board/Commission Recommendation
At the August 17, 2004 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend
approval of Zoning Case 2004-15.
Staff Recommendation
Denial. Although the request does conform to the general philosophy of the Comprehensive Plan as
well as to development trends in the immediate vicinity, it does not comply with the specific
recommendations of the Future Land Use Map to provide larger lots throughout the Exterritorial
Jurisdiction.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.
September 14, 2004
Issue
Hold a Public Hearing and act upon a change in zoning from Business Center (BC) District to
Business Center with a Special Use Permit (SUP) for warehouse and distribution use. Subject
property located at 2803 Capital Street, being Lot 11,Block B of the Regency Business Park Phase II
Addition, and situated in the William Sachse Survey, Abstract No. 835, City of Wylie, Collin County,
Texas. (Zoning Case No. 2004-18)
Background
The subject property was created in 1987 as Lot 11, Block B of the Regency Business Park Phase 2
Addition. The lot totals approximately 0.9 of an acre, and fronts 50 feet on the north side of Capital
Street. An 8,000 square feet masonry building occupies the lot, having been developed in March of
2003 in conformance to a Site Plan approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The building
is now vacant.
The property is currently zoned Business Center(BC)District, having been rezoned from Industrial
(I) with the adoption of the City-wide revision of the Zoning Ordinance and Map in November of
2001. The previous use was a Showroom/Warehouse for an electrical fixtures company, which is
allowed by right in both the previous Industrial and the current Business Center zoning.
The applicant desires to use the facility for the warehousing and distribution of construction materials.
Warehousing and distribution was allowed by right under the previous Industrial zoning, but is
allowed within the Business Center District only by an approved Specific Use Permit.
Public Comment Forms were mailed to twelve(12)property owners within 200 feet ofthis request as
required by State law. No Comment Forms have been returned at the time of posting.
Financial Considerations
Zoning application fee has been paid.
Other Considerations
1. The currently-adopted Comprehensive Plan recommends that the subject property be developed
for medium-density Suburban Residential uses, with single-family lots of between 10,000 and
30,000 square feet. The requested light industrial use does not conform with this
recommendations of the Plan. However, the subject area was developed as a business park and
remains zoned for such nonresidential uses, and residential development as recommended by the
Plan is not likely to occur. The Planning and Zoning Commission is currently reevaluating the
Comprehensive Plan, and has indicated support for some commercial classification similar to the
current nonresidential zoning rather than to the recommended residential of the Plan.
2. The request Specific Use Permit provides no special Conditions other than the standard
regulations of the current Zoning Ordinance, but these are considered sufficient without additional
conditions to ensure that the proposed use is compatible with current and future neighboring uses.
Like other zoning classifications the SUP will run with the land,rather than the use or applicant,
and all future occupants must abide fully with code requirements.
3. The existing structure and site improvements were constructed in 2003, in full compliance with
the current development requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The proposed use requires less
parking than the previous use and site provides more than the required parking. The proposed
use has no outside storage of materials.
Board/Commission Recommendation
At the August 17, 2004 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend
approval of Zoning Case 2004-18.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 8.
September 14, 2004
Issue
Consider and act upon a bid for two rescue hovercraft for the Wylie Fire Department.
Background
The fiscal 2004 operating budget for the Fire Department included funding for a Fire Prevention
Inspector's vehicle and a mobile breathing air system. The department obtained TEEX grants to cover
the cost of both of these items, thereby freeing up the budgeted funds for other purposes. The Fire
Department has been authorized to use those available funds to purchase two hovercrafts for swift
water rescue operations. Competitive sealed bids have been solicited and the following bids were
received.
Neoteric Hovercraft $44,473.00
West Coast Hovercraft $37,610.00
Although it is the low bid, the unit offered by West Coast Hovercraft does not meet the City's
specifications. The equipment has been evaluated by the Fire Department and the following
deficiencies were noted:
(1) unit is not capable of backing up, (2)is not capable of stationary hover requirement, (3)does not
provide the specified range of travel, (4) has dual fans instead of single fan, (5) exceeds physical
height requirement, (6) lacks specified cockpit drainage feature, (7) lacks specified dual battery
system
Financial Considerations
The total budget allocation for the vehicle and breathing air system was$63,430. Because delivery is
likely to be after October 1, it may be necessary to carry the funds over into the fiscal 2005 budget.
Other Considerations
Competitive sealed bids were solicited for this procurement in accordance with Chapter 252 of the
Texas Local Government Code.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that Council award a contract in the amount of$44,473.00 to Neoteric,Inc.for the
purchase of two rescue hovercraft.
