Mr. Claude Thompson explained to Council that the public hearing for this item was opened at the
December 10, 2002 Council Meeting. He stated that the major points of discussion from the previous
meeting were alleys, masonry, parking spaces, and open space. He stated that the applicant has
removed tract number A-1 and created lots that would now be 10,000 sq. ft. to comply with the City's
zoning ordinance. Mr. Thompson also stated that a new tract 2 and 3 has been created with 8500 sq. ft.
lots to comply with the zoning ordinance. He stated that the townhouses, modified townhouses, multi-
family, and commercial development have not been changed. Mr. Thompson read the following
proposed changes from the developer:
1. Reduction in the overall residential density,from a potential 665 residential lots to not exceed 625 lots.
2. Combine Tracts A-2 and A-3 into new Tract A-2,eliminating all 7,200 square foot single-family lots and requiring
all SF-8.5/17 lots to comply fully with the dimensional and development requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
3. Allow a combination of private streets/access easements and public streets within the Courtyard Townhouse
developments of new Tract A-4(old Tract A-5).
4. Require 60%masonry for exterior walls of Townhouse dwellings,rather than 100%masonry composite as
previously proposed.
5. Alleys shall be required in the standard Townhouse Tract A-3,and alleys shall be at the discretion of the developer
in SF-10 Tract A-1 and SF-8.5 Tract A-2. Private streets/access easements and fire lanes shall serve as alleys in
the Courtyard Townhouse Tract A-4.
6. Parking spaces within commercial areas(Tracts C-1 and C-2)shall be 10 feet by 20 feet for 90-degree
perpendicular patterns,and 9.5 feet 18 feet for 60-degree diagonal pattern. Aisles within commercial lots shall be
20 feet wide for one-way and 24 feet wide for two-way traffic,although all designated fire lanes will be 24 feet.
The applicant, Mr. Don Herzog, Herzog Development; addressed the Council with a slide presentation
defining the proposed changes made to the development. He explained the pad sites along Woodbridge
Parkway and the parking area configurations with actual dimensions from standard vehicle sizes such
as a Suburban, a Pick-up truck, and an Expedition.
Councilman Scott inquired about the 60% masonry on the townhouses and asked what kind of material
would compose the remaining 40%. Mr. Herzog stated that it would be hardiplank.
Councilman Scott asked if there would be sidewalks on both sides of tract Al and A2. Mr. Herzog
stated that there would be sidewalks on both sides and he clarified the placement of sidewalks on the
collector street and the park trail. He stated that there would be sidewalks on both sides in the single-
family development.

Councilman Trout inquired about the location of the multi-family development. Mr. Herzog stated that
the multi-family development would be a good buffer between the activities of the high school, the
park and creek recreation area, and the residential area. Councilman Trout stated his concern with the
location of the multi-family development. He stated that he would like to see the multi-family move to
the area where the townhomes are located on the proposed plan. Councilman Young stated that he
liked the location of multi-family as proposed.
Councilman Scott stated that he would rather see alleyways in the single-family residential areas than
the townhomes. Mayor Mondy stated that the Woodbridge development in Sachse did not have
alleyways and lacked curb appeal. He inquired as to what could be done differently in the proposed
development. Mr. Herzog stated that if the alleys could be in an easement allowing 7.5 ft. on either
side, the lots would still qualify in the 8500 sq. ft. with alleys. He explained that there would be a 5 ft.
easement along the 15 ft. utility easement. Mr. Herzog inquired if our City Engineer would approve a
12 ft. utility easement. Councilman Scott asked if a 12 ft. easement would be wide enough. Mr. Herzog
stated that 12 ft. is the standard paving requirement. Ms. Allen stated that her only objection
concerning alleyways is that some residential areas without alleys have no place to put their garbage.
Mr. Herzog stated that he would go with Councilman Scott's proposal and put alleys on the 8500 sq. ft.
lots and not the townhomes.
Councilman Scott stated his concern with the 60% masonry on the townhomes. He stated he would
like to see up to 75%. He stated his concern with the appearance of the townhomes in the future. Mr.
Herzog stated that the townhomes would be maintained by a homeowners association and not
individual owners or renters. Councilman Scott asked Mr. Herzog if he would be willing to increase
the masonry to 70%. Mr. Herzog stated that he would increase the masonry to 70%.
In preparing a motion, Council asked for clarification on the proposed changes concerning the
alleyways and their location, percentage of masonry, and development density. Mr. Herzog stated that
the density would be 640 instead of 625. Mr. Thompson asked for clarification on the definition of
`alley'. Mr. Herzog stated that it would be a 15 ft. Right of Way.
Councilman Trout asked for clarification on staffs original recommendation. Mr. Johnson explained
that the proposed development is a `Planned Development', which may not comply under a technical
review but would otherwise be a desirable development in the City.
There was some discussion about the development plans on the Sachse side of the creek. Mr. Herzog
described plans for that area.
Councilman Trout inquired about the total acreage for the Woodbridge Development. Mr. Herzog
stated that it would be approximately 1600 acres including the proposed development and the golf
course.
Mayor Mondy asked if there was going to be a four-lane road tying into Murphy. Mr. Herzog
explained that Ranch Road would be four-lane undivided.
Councilman Scott asked if the Wylie development would be started before the West side of Ranch
Road. Mr. Herzog stated that it would be simultaneously.

Councilman Trout asked what type of buffer would be between the multi-family and the open space.
Mr. Herzog stated that it would most likely be wrought iron fencing.
With no further discussion from Council, Mayor Mondy opened the public hearing.
Mr. Kelly Spore, 204 Winding Knoll Lane, addressed the Council in opposition of the proposed
development. He stated his concerns with the masonry on the townhomes and developments with
alleys. He stated that the City should adhere to the zoning laws in place.
Mr. Tim Johnson, 932 Hooper Road, addressed the Council in opposition of the proposed
development. He stated his concern with the location of the townhomes and smaller lots.
With no other citizen participation, the Mayor closed the public hearing.
Councilman Worley made a motion to approve the proposed development with the following changes:
1. Increase in overall maximum density of all single-family dwellings in Tracts A-1, A-2, A-3, and A-4 to 640
units.
2. 70 %masonry to qualify as masonry in townhouse district(TractA-4)
3. Alleys are required in Tract A-1 and A-2 and shall be at the discretion of the developer in Tract A-3.
`` Councilwoman Allen seconded the motion. A vote was taken and passed, 6-1 with Councilman Trout
opposed.
2. Consider and act upon authorizing the City Manager to execute and award a contract to Birkhoff,
Hendricks, & Comway, L.L.P., Consulting Engineers, in the amount of $93,500 for engineering
services to update the water,wastewater and roadway impact fees for the City of Wylie.
Mr. Chris Holsted explained Senate Bill 243 to Council. He stated that SB 243 was effective
September 1, 2001 and requires that the city give credit for that portion of property tax and utility
revenue generated by new service units during the program period that is used for the payment of
improvements, including the payment of debt, that are included in the capital improvement plan. Mr.
Hoisted stated that due to the changes in Chapter 395 of the Local Government Code, the City
adopted an impact fee equal to 50% of the maximum calculated fee. Mr. Hoisted stated that the
proposed Engineering Services Agreement will calculate a maximum impact fee including a property
tax and utility revenue credit; and that the update will also incorporate new population projections
and land use assumptions, which will be provided by the City.
Councilman Trout inquired if there would be the possibility of a roadway impact fee. Mr. Johnson
stated it would be a probability.
Councilman Scott inquired about a formal study. Mr. Johnson stated that it would require a very
technical study.
Councilman Scott made a motion to approve the award of contact. Councilman Trout seconded the
motion. A vote was taken and passed, 7-0.
