1. Consider and act upon appointing a replacement to the Park and Recreation Board and to the Wylie

Park and Recreation Facilities Development Corporation Board (4BBoard) for one unexpired term on each Board ending in July 2003; and appointing a replacement to the Zoning Board of Adjustments for one unexpired term ending July of 2002.

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This item was tabled at the January 22, 2002 City Council Meeting. Replacements are necessary for three positions on our city advisory boards. A resignation has created a vacancy on the Parks and Recreation Board. This member also served as a Parks representative on the Parks and Recreation Development Corporation Board (4B), therefore an appointment must be made to fill the vacancy on this board as well. Also, a vacancy has been created on the Board of Adjustments due to a member who has been absent for the last three meetings.

2. Consider and act upon a change in zoning from Agricultural (A) to Planned Development (PD-SF

10/19), being a certain 68.11-acre tract of land situated in the Guadalupe De Los Santos Survey.  Abstract No. 1384, and being parts of Lots No. 1 and 2 of the partition of the estate of Josiah Stone among his children, and being part of a 154.31 acre tract and a 1.01 acre tract conveyed to B.B. Owen and H.A. Walker by deed dated July 30, 1960, and filed for record August 5, 1960, in the Deed Records of Dallas County, Texas. (Zoning Case No. 2001-17)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This item was tabled to the February 12, 2002 City Council Meeting at the January 22, 2002 City Council Meeting. The Public Hearing was held on January 22, 2002. Applicant is requesting initial zoning of the subject property from Agricultural (A) District to Planned Development (PD) for Single-Family (SF-10/19) residences and open space. This property was annexed into the City of Wylie by Council action on January 8, 2002. Property totals 68.11 and proposal is to develop approximately 155 single-family residential lots and approximately 9.4 acres of public open space, reflecting a density of 2.27 dwelling units per acre. The Conditions of Development require that the requirements of the SF-10/19 District be followed with limited exceptions. Public Comment Forms were mailed to four (4) property owners within 200 feet of this request. One AGAINST. However, additional neighboring property owners, most of whom are located within unincorporated Dallas County, have expressed opposition to the proposal. Because written opposition has been expressed by twenty percent of the property owners within the 200 foot notification area, a three-fourths majority vote by Council is required for approval (Section 9.6.E.5.). At the January 15, 2002 Planning and Zoning meeting, the Commission voted 5-0 to recommend denial of this zoning case, because it does not comply with the Comprehensive Plan. Because the Commission has recommended denial, a three-fourths majority vote by the Council shall be required for approval (Section 9.6.E.2.). Please refer to your agenda communication for specific details on the proposed request.

Agreements

3. Consider and act upon a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a Lease Agreement with the Department of the Army (Corps of Engineers) for the operation of a portion of the Trinity Trail.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Trinity Trail Association has submitted a grant application to Collin County for various improvements to the trail. Wylie’s role in the grant is to provide $20,000 in funding, as well as maintenance to some of the proposed improvements to the trailhead located on Skyview Road, inside city limits. Collin County currently leases the land from the Corps of Engineers for the operation and maintenance of the equestrian and hiking trail. The County, in turn, has an agreement with the Trinity Trail Association for the direct maintenance and upkeep of the trail. The County has asked the City of Wylie to take over the lease for only that portion of the Trail that is in the City’s jurisdiction. Staff anticipates that the Trinity Trail Association’s role in the development and operation of the trail will continue.

Planning Items

4. Hold a Public Hearing to consider and act upon certain proposed revisions to the Architectural 

Requirements of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, including the Residential Exterior Façade Material of Section 3.4.F.1, the Repetition of Single Family Residential Unit Designs of Section 3.4.F.6  and 7, the Village Residential Front Entry Cover of Section 3.4.F.9, and the Village Residential  Garage Door Offset of Section 3.4.F.11.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Council adopted new Residential Districts in July, 2000 with the desire to encourage flexibility of design as well as raise the standards of construction. From the time of adoption no developers have fully implemented the new flexible point system. Recent developments have been zoned as Planned Development Districts which establish unique development requirements or have not yet initiated construction under the new requirements. Following Work Sessions held in December and January, with numerous developers and builders, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a Public Hearing to consider several issues concerning the architectural requirements for Single Family Districts. The following revisions are recommended for consideration by the City Council. At the February 5, 2002 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, the Board voted 5-0 to recommend approval of these proposed revisions to the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. Staff is prepared to enforce the requirements as adopted until additional direction is provided by the Commission and City Council.

5. Hold a Public Hearing to consider and act upon certain proposed revisions to the Townhouse (TH/15) District Requirements of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, including the Minimum Lot
