2. Hold a Public Hearing and consider, and act upon, a change in zoning from Agricultural
(AG/30) to Heavy Industrial (HI), property generally located at the intersection of Lynda
Lane and Forrest Ross Road. ZC2018-07. (R. 011ie, Development Services Director)
Staff Comments
Development Services Director 011ie addressed Council stating the item is a request from the applicant to
rezone 4.134 acres of land from Agricultural to Heavy Industrial. It is for the development of a water
operations center for the North Texas Municipal Water District. The water operations center measures
14,343 square feet with 90 parking spaces. The maximum height of the facility is the mechanical room at
26'-4"and it does not contain windows. The primary portion of the building is 16'-8" in height and there
are three points of access: two off of Forrest Ross Road and one off of the realigned Lynda Lane. The
building will be comprised of stone and brick, and the overall site, landscape, and architectural design
does comply with the current zoning ordinance. The building is proposed to have 45 technical staff in an
office-type setting, a control room (SCADA), a 450-square-foot conference room, and a 1,500-square-
foot training room. It will be both secure and accessible for observation by visitors to the plant facility. It
will also be designed to meet the ICC 500 requirement to serve as a tornado shelter or in other emergency
situations. The property is bordered by NTMWD facilities on all sides except the east. The adjacent
properties to the east across from Forrest Ross Road are developed with a residential planned
development with single-family homes. The proposed building sits at least 300-feet from the nearest
residential structure. If approved,the applicant will have to come back with a Final Site Plan,Preliminary
Plat,and Final Plat before construction can begin or before any permits can be issued.
Notifications were mailed out to 16 residences within 200-feet as required by law; two responses were
returned in opposition at the time of posting. The Commissioners voted 5-0 to recommend approval of
the request.
Council Comments
Mayor Hogue asked 011ie what the developer is proposing to do with the property. 011ie replied the
facility is intended to monitor and manage the water delivery component of the District's operations. All
the existing property of NTMWD is zoned Heavy Industrial. The intent is to have consistency of all the
property. Mayor Hogue asked what is allowed in Heavy Industrial. 011ie replied it is the most intense of
uses but less restrictive. Councilman Forrester expressed concerns regarding placing Heavy Industrial at
the corner between two large subdivisions and that one of the allowed uses in Heavy Industrial is for an
above-ground sewage treatment. Mayor Hogue, Mayor pro tern Stephens, and Councilmen Wallis, Dahl,
and Porter expressed concerns, asking why, other than for the sake of continuity, the property needed to
be zoned Heavy Industrial; the zoning should reflect the intended use. Councilman Wallis, Porter, and
Stephens expressed concerns with the condition of the current road and added traffic.
Developer Comments
David Scott, Engineer with NTMWD, addressed Council stating the reason for the Heavy Industrial
zoning is to match the existing zoning and assured the council that NTMWD has no intention of putting
any process facilities on the site,just an office building. Mayor Hogue asked what is going to happen 20
years from now, noting that they would have the right to place whatever they want there. Scott replied
that, as far as a wastewater plant, they are not allowed by TCEQ to put a plant that close to a water
treatment plant, so they would never be allowed to put a wastewater plant there. Scott stated this site
gives the best opportunity to combine the plant with the operations staff. Scott asked whether a rezoning
is available that would allow for an office type building, if Heavy Industrial is objectionable. Manson
replied that, if Council wanted a more restrictive zoning district, Business Government category would be
the most restrictive non-residential zoning district in which not a lot of uses are allowed. Another option
would be to start over with the process and lay out a specific planned development, she said.

Staff Comments
Fire Chief Parker addressed Council stating this item is a budget amendment to secure an
architect for the remodel and expansion of Fire Station 2. This is to add on a longer bay to
accommodate a longer apparatus that will allow the fire department to reach four-story buildings that are
being constructed in the City, remodel the interior to accommodate mixed-gender dormitories, and
provide a workout area that is out of the elements. Currently the firefighters work out in a bay and studies
have shown that the toxins that are produced from diesel engines cause cancer.

Council Comments
Councilman Porter asked why there is a need for a 109-foot ladder for a four-story building. Battalion
Chief Brown replied that currently they cannot reach the fourth story or peak of the roof with the current
75-foot ladder due to the offset and parking. He also stated as part of the ISO rating there is a
requirement they must reach the top story of any building or 100 feet, whichever one is the best;
therefore,the 100 foot ladder meets the requirement. Councilman Forrester asked what the service life of
the current vehicles and proposed vehicle is. Parker replied that the goal is to leave them on the front line
for 10 years and then place them in reserve for 10 years. The current truck that is being replaced is over
10 years old, and the previous two trucks were replaced after 12 and 14 years. The goal of the proposed
truck would be 10 years on the front line and then placed in reserve for 10 years. Councilman Porter
asked if any consideration was given to purchasing a used apparatus. Parker replied used apparatus are
usually at their end of life and if they can find a demo, they would consider that; however, purchasing a
used apparatus brings about unknowns with no warranties. Councilwoman Arrington stated she would
not be interested in purchasing a used vehicle and if money is going to be spent to protect the City she
prefers to purchase what we need because we will continue to grow and the apparatus would assist in not
putting our firefighters and citizens at risk. Mayor Hogue asked what the estimated start time of the
project is. Parker replied that the construction process would begin in about October.

WORK SESSION
• FY 2018-2019 Budget Discussion and Overview. (M. Beard, Finance Director)
City Manager Manson addressed Council stating that the first work session for the FY 2018/2019 budget
will provide preliminary assumptions. There is a predicted 11% increase in property values. Sales tax for
the current budget year will be down about 8% from what was originally projected. She stated the staff
believes the impact of the hail storm on the sales tax was underestimated. Preliminary estimates appear
that the City is normalizing post hail storm. Aetna has predicted at least a 15% increase in employee
insurance. A step plan increase for Public Safety of 2.5%and a merit based average of 3%for non-sworn
personnel have been included. This year no market adjustments are proposed.
The Collin County average predicted home value in Wylie is$262,156.
Total revenue based on these assumptions was $42,900,158 with expenditures for base line department
budgets, step increases for sworn officers, 3% average merit increase for non-sworn personnel, and the
15% employee insurance increase at $40,505,811; leaving excess funds prior to any new requests at
$2,394,347. New positions requested amounted to $1,665,841, equipment for the new positions totaled
$286,519,and new requests non-personnel totaled$2,246,023.
The projected estimated fund balance at September 30, 2018 is$14,554,085.
Using two Wylie homes as examples, Manson displayed the property tax history from 2008-2017 and the
different taxing entities' breakdown for both the homes. Manson also reviewed the debt service
