REGULAR AGENDA
1. Hold a Public Hearing and consider,and act upon,amending Planned Development(2015-03
& 2005-24)Braddock Place Phase IV to allow three car-garage with front entry. ZC 2015-06
(R. 011ie, Development Services Director)
Staff Comments
Development Services Director 011ie addressed Council stating that the subject tract was part of a
Planned Development adopted July 26, 2005 in order to develop a master planned residential community.
The Final Plat for Phase IV was approved in 2013 and created 77 single-family residential lots.
011ie explained the intent of the amendment is to modify the regulations of the number of garage doors
that can face a public street. The current PD Conditions allow for no more than a two car garage door to
face the street on lots less than 12,000 s.f., and must be an architectural upgraded door and contain
decorative door hardware. The request is to allow three (3) car garages to face the street on lots smaller
than 12,000 square feet.
011ie reported the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4-0 to recommend approval with specified
language. Garage doors can be located on the primary street elevation of single family residential unit
with an upgraded insulated door with carriage hardware. The primary street would be the addressed
street front. Garages may face street on a corner lot side yard. Each garage will be a minimum of two (2)
cars with a maximum of three(3)car garage on lots less than 12,000 square feet or less
Applicant/Council Discussion
Ryan Joyce representing Skorburg addressed Council stating that builders have requested that the
options of a three car garage be added to the PD. The amendment will allow more architectural variety
within this phase of Braddock. Aesthetically, with a side swing garage on a lot with smaller front footage,
there is limited space in the front for driveway and house. The impervious coverage of the front yard
increases significantly while trying to incorporate a front swing drive. A front facing garage allows for
more open space.
Mayor Hogue stated that he was not in favor of three single garage doors facing the street. Hogue noted
in his opinion, a two car garage door, with a setback for the third single door was more appealing. He
also noted cedar doors were more attractive in addition to the upgraded carriage hardware. Mr. Joyce
stated he had no problem with adding the cedar doors to the PD.
Councilwoman Culver suggested limiting the three car garages to not more than 25% of the 12,000
square foot lots. She noted she concurred with Councilman Dahl and Mayor Hogue regarding only a total
of two garage doors on the three car garage designs. Mayor Hogue asked about providing a percentage
with a 2 % car garage as an additional option. He explained that in this design there would be no more
doors as the garage is just extended to provide additional space.
Council Action
A motion was made by Councilman Dahl, seconded by Councilwoman Culver to amend a
Planned Development (2015-03 & 2005-24) Braddock Place Phase IV to allow three car-
garages with front entry with the following conditions: a maximum of one third of the 12,000 sq.
ft. lots may have a three (3) car-garage; with the third garage having a four (4) foot setback. A
maximum of one third of the 12,000 sq. ft. lots may have a two and one half (2.5) car-garage;
with the remaining one third to have a two car garage. Designs with a three car garage shall

have a maximum of two doors which shall be cedar with carriage hardware. A vote was taken
and the motion passed 6-0 with Councilwoman Arrington absent.

2. Hold a Public Hearing and consider, and act upon, a change in zoning from Single Family
Residential (SF 10/24) District to Neighborhood Service (NS), to allow an engineering firm.
Property generally located at 634 North Ballard. ZC 2015-05 (R. 011ie, Development Services
Director)
Staff Comments
Development Services Director 011ie addressed Council stating that the applicant and owner are
requesting to rezone the property to allow for an Engineering firm to occupy a residential structure
currently zoned for single family uses. The structure is a two story brick exterior, and is approximately
5,400 square feet. The Land Use Plan classifies the subject property as General Urban Sector and
supports Neighborhood Service Uses.
011ie reported the property is bordered on all sides by single family residential dwellings. Access to the
property is via Ballard Avenue. Currently, TxDOT is working towards advertising for bids in 2018 for
Ballard Avenue to become a four lane divided secondary thoroughfare.
Notification/Responses: 30 notifications were mailed to property owners within 200 feet of the proposal.
Twelve (12) comment forms were received, all in opposition, and an additional seven (7) responses were
received from beyond the required 200 foot notification area.
011ie noted the Commissioners heard from several residents within the surrounding area expressing their
concerns regarding drainage and drainage issues, long term uses, increased traffic, and type of uses
allowed under the NS base zoning. The primary concern was regarding other uses that would be allowed
should the Engineering firm go out of business or decide to relocate. 011ie reported the Planning and
Zoning Commission voted 4-0 to recommend.
011ie reviewed with Council an extensive list of typical uses allowed under NS zoning by current ordinance
which included, but are not limited to: convenience stores, pharmacies, and general office uses. Uses
that are allowed only by SUP included but are not limited to Motor Fueling Station, Vehicle Sales &
Display.
Applicant/Council Comments
Applicant Steve Purcell and owner of TDC2 LLC addressed Council stating that the firm had been in
business for the past 15 years at the same location in Plano. Purcell explained that the reason for the
move to Wylie was that the current location could not accommodate their growing business. Several of
TDC2 staff members lived in Wylie, lessening commute time for staff. Purcell stated that they had looked
at many properties over the past two years, but this property best fit their business. Purcell stated that
the company planned to be at this location for a very long time.
Mayor Hogue asked Mr. Purcell about the possibility of re-applying under the conditions of a Planned
Development (PD) zoning, which could limit certain uses. Mr. Purcell stated that because the notices
provided to the public were for base zoning, the firm would have to withdraw the current request and
resubmit as a PD. Mr. Purcell stated that when applying for zoning he was not aware of the option for a
PD and with the closing of the property scheduled tomorrow,that option was not obtainable.

Public Hearing
Mayor Hogue opened the public hearing for Zoning Case 2015-05 at 7:40 p.m. asking anyone present
wishing to address Council to come forward.
Several residents in the zoning area addressed Council opposing the zoning request. Several speakers
spoke in favor of the zoning request.
Mayor Hogue closed the public hearing at 7:55 p.m.
Councilwoman Culver stated that she had changed her opinion regarding the straight zoning (ND base
zoning) because of the list of businesses requiring a Special Use Permit which would need Council
approval. She noted that Ballard Avenue plans for a four lane highway fits this type of low impact service.
This business extends the uses in the Historic Downtown area further down Ballard Avenue.
Mayor Hogue addressed Mr. Purcell stating that although he would prefer the Planned Development
zoning, he felt this type of business would be the least intrusive to the neighborhood.
Council Action
A motion was made by Councilman Wintters, seconded by Councilwoman Culver to approve a
change in zoning from Single Family Residential (SF 10/24) District to Neighborhood Service
(NS), to allow an engineering firm. Property generally located at 634 North Ballard. (ZC 2015-
05) A vote was taken and the motion passed 6-0 with Councilwoman Arrington absent.
Mayor Hogue convened into Work Session at 7:59 p.m.
WORK SESSION

that the certified appraisals from all three counties were received showing an additional increase
in values from the preliminary estimates. Manson reviewed a few additional expenditures from
the General Fund and new/replacement equipment from the Fund Balance. The
