REGULAR AGENDA
General Business
1. Consider, and act upon, Resolution No. 2008-46a(R) adopting an official City of
Wylie Seal depicting Wylie's rich history of its founding on the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe Railway, and incorporation in 1887. (C. Kelly, PIO)
Staff Comments
Public Information Officer Kelly addressed Council stating that the City Seal is affixed to all permanent
documents such as Ordinances, Resolutions, and Minutes. The seal is also affixed to all proclamations,
contracts, and other legal documents distributed to other jurisdictions and governmental entities, including
interlocal agreements. He explained that the seal is the legal symbol that documents have been executed
by the Mayor or City Manager and made part of the attesting by the City Secretary. In addition, the City
Seal can be put on display in the Council Chamber, lobby or other formal setting.
He noted that The City Seal should be classic and stand the test of time; a seal should have longevity,
rarely, if ever changed. Based on research and inspection of older documents, the City has never had a
custom seal created. The generic look has flipped flopped between the standard Texas Star to our
current look that simply says"Seal."
The new design focuses on the rich history of Wylie and its incorporation in 1887. Wylie was organized in
the early 1870s and originally called Nickelville, reportedly after the name of the first store. In 1886 the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway laid tracks a half mile north of the original town site. That same year
Nickelville moved to take advantage of the railroad and named their new location Wylie, in honor of W. D.
Wylie, a right-of-way agent for the railroad. In fact, the Document of Incorporation lists the railway as one
of the town's boundaries. In 1887 a second railway, The St. Louis, Arkansas and Texas, passed through
Wylie, later to be named the St. Louis Southwestern in 1891.
Council Action
A motion was made by Councilman White, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Byboth to approve
Resolution No. 2008-46a(R) adopting an official City of Wylie Seal depicting Wylie's rich history
of its founding on the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway, and incorporation in 1887. A vote
was taken and the motion passed 7-0.

REGULAR AGENDA
Public Hearings
2. Hold a Public Hearing and consider, and act upon, a change in zoning from
Multi-Family (MF) to Light Industrial (LI) District, generally located north of
Anchor Drive and Spinnaker Way adjacent to the Newport Harbor Subdivision.
ZC2008-10 (R. 011ie, Planning Director)
Staff Comments
Planning Director 011ie addressed Council stating that the subject property is located north of Anchor
Drive and Spinnaker Way adjacent to the Newport Harbor Subdivision. The applicant is requesting to
rezone 1.1692 acres from Multi-Family (MF) to Light Industrial (LI) District in order to facilitate a new
water storage tank. Water tanks are only allowed in LI and HI districts, and not MF, and as the current
ordinance does not allow expansion of a legally non-conforming use rezoning is required. The property
currently contains an existing 500,000 gallon water storage tank.
She explained that the existing tank is sixteen (16) feet in height. With growth throughout the city, it has
become necessary to add a larger capacity tank at this facility. The proposed tank is a 2 million gallon
concrete ground storage tank and will be 36 feet it height when completed.
Ms. 011ie reported that the new tank will serve those residents whose water system is serviced by the City
of Wylie. The residents within the Cascades Addition are served by Wylie Northeast Water Utility District
and not the City of Wylie. She noted that the property has never been platted and the attached zoning
exhibit will serve as the preliminary plat. A Final Plat will be completed before construction begins if the
zoning change is approved and will come back to Council.
Planning Director 011ie reported that the P&Z Commissioners discussed possible noise factors and
maintenance with the proposed modifications to the tanks. Staff stated that the storage tanks will have
exhaust fans that dissipate the heat within the tanks. During the summer months, these fans will come on
more. The City Engineer will research other methods that will aid in reducing noise from the fans. In
addition, staff will verify with Public Works that the property is maintained and mowed as required.
She reported that public comment forms were mailed to 40 property owners within 200 feet of this
request, as required by State Law. Six responses have been received at the time of this posting, all
against the proposed re-zoning. One verbal response in favor of the request was given at the P&Z
meeting and at the Council meeting held on November 11th from a resident outside the 200' notification
area.

Consultant/Council Discussion
Mr. Joe Carter representing Burkhoff, Hendricks, and Conway, LLP addressed Council stating that the
firm had reviewed the potential site and determined that the tank depth could not be lowered on order to
lower the profile of the tank; he commented that lowering and burying the tank 12 feet would interfere with
the pump station operations. To replace the pumps to allow the lowering of the profile, would be
somewhere around $2.3 million dollars. He reported that in reviewing other sites for the new elevated
tank, the issue was still costly due to a new pump station and new tank installation being required in
addition to the acquisition of land to place the new pump station and tank. Water lines to this existing tank
and pump station are in place; if a new site was chosen new water lines would more than likely be
required. He noted that it would be hard to definitively estimate the cost for establishing a new site.
Mr. Carter reported there were architectural treatments that could be added to the outside of the tank for
very low costs that would lessen the view from the neighboring properties. Councilwoman Spillyards
asked Mr. Carter what some of the treatments consisted of. Mr. Carter replied there were treatments that
would give the tank a stone or adobe texture, trees could be planted that would in time hide the view of
the tanks and murals could be painted on the tank. Councilwoman Spillyards asked Mr. Carter how the
noise from the tanks could be controlled. Mr. Carter replied that fans could be replaced which would
buffer the sound.
Councilman Young stated that it was his understanding that an underground tank had no bearing on
water pressure. Mr. Carter replied that burying the tank did not have any bearing on water pressure;
however, with the growing population and the additional demand at the Newport Harbor system, there
was no reserve capacity available with the existing tank. The additional tank would allow approximately
six hours of storage, in addition to the overhead storage tank. Councilman Young asked with the
additional storage this tank would provide, how far out the tank adequately would provide service. Mr.
Carter reported that with the additional tank, the capacity should serve another seven years. He reported
that an additional one million gallon tank was planned in the future.
Public Hearing
Mayor Hogue opened the public hearing for Zoning Case #2008-10 at 6:46 p.m. asking anyone present
wishing to address Council to come forward state their name and address and keep their comments to
three minutes.
Linda Waits residing at 1302 Rain Tree Drive, Wylie, Texas, spoke in opposition to the approval of ZC
2008-10.
Frederic Sender, residing at 1301 Rain Tree Drive, Wylie, Texas, spoke in opposition to the approval of
ZC 2008-10.
Eric Smith, residing at 3410 Melvin Drive, Wylie, Texas, spoke regarding the addition of architectural
treatments that could be added to the proposed tank.
With no other residents wishing to address Council, Mayor Hogue closed the public hearing for Zoning
Case#2008-10 at 7:18 p.m.
Council Discussion
Mayor Hogue asked Planning Director 011ie if due to the unanimous vote to approve this zoning change
by the Planning and Zoning Commission would it take a super majority (6 out of 7) votes by the City
Council to deny this request. Planning Director 011ie replied that was correct.
Mayor Pro Tern Byboth asked if architectural treatments could be included and where the funding would
come from. City Manager Manson reported that the actual approval of the tank would come back in
another action item in a future agenda. At that time funding issues for the architectural treatments could
be addressed and include proposed funding. She explained that the item presented tonight was to
change the zoning to allow the existing tank to be legally conforming.
Minutes— December 9, 2008

Council Action
A motion was made by Councilman Goss, seconded by Councilman Young to deny Zoning
Case No. 2008-10 a change in zoning from Multi-Family (MF) to Light Industrial (LI) District,
generally located north of Anchor Drive and Spinnaker Way adjacent to the Newport Harbor
Subdivision. A vote was taken and failed 3-4 with Councilman Goss, Councilwoman Spillyards,
and Councilman Young voting for denial and Mayor Hogue, Mayor Pro Tern Byboth,
Councilman Porter, and Councilman White voting against denial.
Further Council Discussion
Councilman Goss stated that the additional twenty feet was a lot. He stated that the property
had never been plated and therefore the city was not in violation. Planning Director 011ie
reported that it was her recommendation that the zoning be approved to allow the existing tank
to be legally conforming. She reported that currently the zoning for this structure was a legally
non-conforming structure which required the proposed zoning to become compliant.
Councilman Porter stated that it would be endangering the citizens of Wylie to not have
available water distribution for all citizens. The City needs the water and if funding is not
available to place this tank in another location, our responsibility is to the entire City not just a
few residents.
City Manager Manson stated that if this zoning change was not approved and the additional
tank could not be constructed, staff would need to re-address the long term Capital
Improvement Plan. Fire Chief Corbin commented that this is long range planning and the day
we run out of water we are behind the eight ball. There is not a lot of latitude in the location that
the City can place these water tanks. Councilman Young asked Chief Corbin about the ISO
rating. Chief Corbin stated that the good ISO rating was dependent upon the reserves of water
capacity along with other requirements.
Council Action
A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tern Byboth, seconded by Councilman White to approve
Zoning Case No. 2008-10 approving a change in zoning from Multi-Family (MF) to Light
Industrial (LI) District, generally located north of Anchor Drive and Spinnaker Way adjacent to
the Newport Harbor Subdivision. A vote was taken and passed 6-1 with Mayor Hogue, Mayor
Pro Tern Byboth, Councilwoman Spillyards, Councilman White, and Councilman Porter voting
for and Councilman Goss voting against approval.
3. Hold a Public Hearing and consider, and act upon, a change in zoning from
Agricultural District (AG/30) to Light Industrial (LI) District, generally located
south of Brown Street and west of Westgate Way. ZC2008-11 (R. 011ie, Planning
Director)
Staff Comments
Planning Director 011ie addressed Council stating that the subject property is located south of Brown
Street and west of Westgate Way adjacent to Westgate Phase I. The applicant is requesting to rezone
0.9027 acres from Agricultural District (AG/30) to Light Industrial (LI) District in order to facilitate a new
water storage tank. Water tanks are only allowed in LI and HI districts, and not AG/30, and as the current
ordinance does not allow expansion of a legally non-conforming use re-zoning is required. The property
currently contains an existing 900,000 gallon water storage tank sixteen (16) feet in height. Planning
Director 011ie reported that the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously in approval for this

zoning change. Mayor Pro Tern Byboth asked Planning Director 011ie if anyone was present to address
this item during the Planning Commission meeting. Planning Director 011ie replied that there were no
citizens present wishing to address the Commission on this item.
Public Hearing
Mayor Hogue opened the public hearing for Zoning Case #2008-11 at 7:15 p.m. asking anyone present
wishing to address Council to come forward, state their name and address and keep their comments to
three minutes.
Andrea Linear stated that she lived at the entrance to Town Gate and had some concerns about entering
and exiting the area when construction was underway. She asked staff to allow for another entrance and
exit to the development during the construction phase. She stated that she was out of town during the
Planning and Zoning Commission discussion on this item.
Engineering Consultant Joe Carter addressed the concerns by stating that the tank will be set back to
allow more room and Council could direct construction during times when traffic was less congested. He
stated that he is also reviewing the possibility for an additional entrance/exit.
With no other residents wishing to address Council, Mayor Hogue closed the public hearing (ZC 2008-11)
at 7:18 p.m.

4. Consider, and act upon, approval of the location and design of the proposed kiosk
signs in accordance with Ordinance 2008-33, Section 9.E. (R..011ie,Planning Director)
Staff Comments
Planning Director 011ie addressed Council stating that with the adoption of Sign Ordinance No. 2008-33,
replacing and repealing Sign Ordinance No. 2003-14, Council has moved forward in providing for
homebuyers and citizens directions to the location of housing developments, homebuilders, public
facilities, and community events within the City of Wylie while discouraging the placement of unsightly

Collin County, Texas; the City of Wylie, a home rule municipality located in Collin,
Dallas, and Rockwall Counties, Texas; the City of Rockwall, a home rule
municipality located in Rockwall County, Texas; and the City of Garland, a home
rule municipality located in Dallas and Collin Counties, Texas. (J. Butters, Assistant
City Manager)
Staff Comments
Assistant City Manager Butters addressed Council stating that the City of Garland owns its own power
plant on Lake Lavon, located next to Little Ridge Park. Many years ago Garland annexed a 10 foot strip
along its power lines running from the power plant all the way to the City of Garland. The Garland strip
has inhibited expansion of Wylie, Rockwall, Lavon, and Nevada because we cannot legally annex into or
across Garland City limits. Garland indicated that they would be open to dis-annexing the strip if all cities
with a boundary interest would agree, in advance, as to which City received what land, and further would
agree not to annex the Garland Power Plant and leave a buffer around the plant. He reported that Lavon
was researching a possible development within the areas in question and could not move forward until
some resolution was made as to boundaries.
Council Action
A motion was made by Councilman Young, seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Byboth to approve
Ordinance No. 2008-51 and authorizing the Mayor to execute the Interlocal Boundary and ETJ
Contract with Attachments 1 through 5, by and between the City of Lavon, the City of Nevada,
