Bowland, Charlotte A. Bowland, Martin L. Anderson and Susan M.

ROW, being part of old State Highway ROW and being part of P.M. Highway 544 ROW. (Zoning Case No.2001-20) Mr. Claude Thompson, Planner, addressed this item providing Council a brief background on the request. Mr. Thompson stated that on November 13, 2001, the City Council adopted major revisions to the nonresidential districts of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance and the Official Zoning Map. Because of its diverse uses and transitioning development patterns,and at the specific request of several property owners, the City Council pulled out the area around Cooper Street in the northwest corner of State Highway 78 and F.M. 544 for separate consideration. This area totals approximately 30 acres and is held in approximately 17 separate ownerships. He stated that this area was earlier proposed to be changed from the old Industrial (I) District to the new Community Retail (CR) District The Commercial Corridor(CC) District is intended to accommodate a diverse mixture of commercial and light industrial uses which are all dependent upon direct access to major regional thoroughfares but which are complimentary to one another as well as to the vehicular corridor. Several of the existing establishments within the subject area reflect these characteristics, as well as those of the Community Retail District Mr. Thompson stated the recently-adopted revisions to the Zoning Map assigned the Commercial Corridor (CC) District to all of the lands fronting the north side of the S.H. 78 and F.M 544 intersection, except for the subject area. The Commercial Corridor District provides for a variety of land uses to accommodate both a majority of the viable existing uses and the commercial uses envisioned by the Comprehensive Plan. The adopted Design Regulations of the Commercial Corridor District are sufficient to require the quality of development desired at this highly-visible intersection,and support the desired image of Wylie's central place and identifying physical image. At the January 2, 2002 Planning and Zoning meeting, the Commission voted 5-0 to approve this zoning case. Staff is also recommending approval. The Mayor then opened the Public Hearing and asked that anyone wishing to speak in favor or opposition of the request to please come forward, state their name and address for the record and limit their comments to three (3) minutes. With no response,the Mayor then closed the Public Hearing.

St. Paul Representatives present include, Mayor Pro Tem, Ronnie Fetzer; Councilman Terry Hill; Councilman John West; Councilman Mark Stone;Councilman John Moser and St.Paul City Attorney,John Rapier. Wylie City Manager opened the discussion by stating that after some review and research, it was determined that the cost for providing fire protection to the City of St. Paul exceeds what St. Paul has previously been asked to pay. St.Paul had been charged$12,000 annually,however,the 2002 budget called for an annual fee of$60,000 to cover the cost for fire protection. The scheduled worksession was to offer both Council's an opportunity to openly discuss options and alternatives to St.Paul for continued fire protection with the legal boundaries for both the City of Wylie and St.Paul. Representatives of St.Paul agreed that the cost for fire protection is necessary and that they are willing to pay their fair share, however, at the present time, they do not have the means to fund the increase for continued fire protection: Several options were discussed to fund the recent increase including a retainer fee and per call charge or a flat fee that increase annually. It was determined that St. Paul would meet with their entire Council to discuss funding alternatives and determine how they could proceed. -....:...v: ::.-.•::..-.:..-::::::::.w.:w::.e..:::?ry:?nv::r.:i':rw::::?.i'-iir'•Tn:-.w:y:.i-?.i:.:?:n:i�:.;:::::iv::ni::::.r?:i?::L:piii'n:-?i:::y'•ii':.iyn:?::.i.:::::..v:.i::::::.:'-iii'-i'.:-:n:i :1k.'
