1. Consider and act upon approval of the Minutes from the March 5, 2002 Regular Meeting.

Motion was made by Commissioner Phillips, seconded by Commissioner Ahrens, to approve the minutes as submitted. Motion passed 5 – 0.

1. Consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a Final Plat for the Westgate Hollow Addition, being a certain 17.867 acre tract of land situated in the E. C. Davidson Survey, Abstract No. 266, City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas, and being all of a tract conveyed to Lanell Gunter by deed as recorded in County Clerk’s File No. 95-0020112, Land Records of Collin County, Texas, and being part of a tract conveyed to Dixie Mortgage Loan Company by deed as recorded in Volume 2668, Page 405, Land Records of Collin County, Texas.

Terry Capehart stated that the Final Plat includes 17.867 acres, and will create 89 lots for single-family residences. The lots created by the subject Plat range in size from a minimum of 5,524 square feet to 6,240 square feet. The majority of the tract (16.5 acres) was rezoned Planned Development District (PD-90-22) in 1990, permitting single-family residences with buildings on one side property line. The PD ties other development requirements to the old SF-3 district, requiring a minimum house size of 1,100 square feet.

The Plat extends conditions of the earlier approved PD by 1.3 acres and improves the street configuration and provides for wider distances between buildings. This will allow access to Fleming Street and Westgate Way.

Commissioners expressed concern on the extension of Fleming Street and the size of the houses allowed in the Planned Development.

Kevin Spraggins, 3838 Oak Lawn, Suite 1212, Dallas, Texas, Skorburg Company, represented as the applicant, stated that this Plat only allows for a portion of the widening and that there is a separate instrument to pay for the other portion.

Dick Skorburg, 3838 Oak Lawn, Suite 1212, Dallas, Texas, Skorburg Company, stated that the PD was approved with a SF-3 zoning. The area surrounding the property is higher density; to the east of the subject property is zoned Multifamily. The area to the northwest is scaled down in density and is zoned Townhouse District. In the PD the requirement for the lot area is 4,000 square feet; this was raised to 6,000 square feet. Skorburg stated further that the builder will be DR Horton.

Motion was made by Commissioner Porter, seconded by Chapman to approve the Final Plat. Motion passed 4 – 2 with Commissioner Ahrens and Commissioner Snider voting against.

Special motion was made by Commissioner George to wish Commissioner Snider a very special happy birthday. Motion was passed by everyone.

Motion made by Commissioner Ahrens, seconded by Commissioner Porter, to adjourn at 7:21 p.m. Motion passed 6 – 0.
