Council Discussion
Mayor Hogue asked what the maintenance would be on individual options for screening. Hoisted
reported that live screening would require trimming and maintaining annually. A nice board on board
cedar fence would have a 10 year life with occasional staining. A masonry wall would last approximately
20 years. Hogue asked if funding was left from the thoroughfare project. Hoisted replied there was
funding for the wall in the remaining funds. Mayor pro tem Stephens clarified that the initial construction
would be covered under the thoroughfare funding; however, maintenance on any of the options would be
annual expenditures. Councilwoman Culver clarified that the thoroughfare funding could also be used for
other thoroughfare projects once the identified project was completed.
Councilwoman Culver stated that she believed adding a screening wall would open up requests from
other communities in Wylie requesting the same screening be provided. Mayor pro tern Stephens asked
if there were any other communities in the City that did not have some type of screening wall. Hoisted
replied that to his knowledge there were not. Councilwoman Arrington stated, she felt a masonry wall
was the best option for this area since it is a highly traveled road.
Council Action
A motion was made by Councilman Wintters, seconded by Councilwoman Arrington to approve
a masonry screening wall on the north side of Stone Rd., east of Akin Rd. A vote was taken
and the motion passed 5-1 with Mayor Hogue, Mayor pro tern Stephens, Councilman Wintters,
Councilwoman Arrington, and Councilman Whitney for approval, and Councilwoman Culver
against with Councilman Dahl absent.
Mayor Hogue requested Item #3 be considered after Item #7. Consensus of Council was
to postpone consideration of Item #3 to the end of the Regular Session and after Item #7.
3. Consider, and act upon, Resolution No. 2015-21(R) authorizing and approving WEDC
Resolution 2015-02(R) adopted by the Board of Directors of the Wylie Economic
Development Corporation authorizing one or more loans in the aggregate amount of
$1,685,000 from The American National Bank of Texas and pledging the l/ cent sales tax
for economic development as collateral to secure the repayment of said loan(s). (S.
Satterwhite, WEDC Director)
4. Accept, and place on file, a Performance Agreement between the Wylie Economic
Development Corporation and Mann Made,Inc.—II. (S. Satterwhite, WEDC Director)
Staff Comments
WEDC Executive Director, Sam Satterwhite provided a comprehensive update regarding a Performance
Agreement between the WEDC and Mann Made, Inc. — II. The Agreement, which was approved by the
WEDC Board of Directors on 9-21-15, identified certain commitments by both the WEDC and Mann Made
under which (1)the WEDC would purchase 1.2 acres from Joe& Barbara Edge (owners of Mann Made)
located at 398 Highway 78 for$750,000; (2)the WEDC would purchase property located at 710 Business

efforts were required to purchase the Edge property so that Mann Made could continue its business
operations.
Satterwhite indicated that the Edge property on 78 was vital to WEDC redevelopment efforts to the area
with the WEDC already acquiring approximately 3.2 acres on both sides of the Edge tract at a cost of
$1.4 million. Satterwhite further emphasized that the acquisition of the Edge tract allows the WEDC to
assemble a cumulative 4.7 acres which will be marketed for restaurant development and create a total of
3 pad sites.
With a total project cost of $20 per square foot for all properties within the redevelopment area,
Satterwhite indicated that a typical investor could not undertake such an effort due to the maximum
market value for the properties being $21 per square foot, at best. It was further explained that the high
cost to acquire the 4.7 acres was a direct result of owner occupied businesses located on each of the
properties and the cost of the improvements located thereon had to be factored into the purchase price
even though the WEDC only needed the real estate.
Satterwhite explained that WEDC was close to finalizing a letter of intent from a national restaurant group
that is able to pay at the top of market value for one of the new pad sites.
Councilwoman Culver commended Mr. Satterwhite and the WEDC board for their forward thinking in
transforming this area to restaurant pads. Culver explained that even though the costs are high to
convert these properties, it will benefit the City in the years to come.
