1. Consider and act upon approval of the Minutes from the May 21, 2002 Regular Meeting.

Motion was made by Commissioner Hughes, seconded by Commissioner Chapman, to approve the minutes as submitted. Motion passed 5-0.

1. Consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a Final Plat for Lot 5R, Block A, Century Business Park Addition, being a Replat of Lot 1A, Block A of Century Business Park according to the plat recorded in Volume N, Page 349 of the Map Records of Collin County, Texas, and Lot 5, Block A of Century Business Park according to the plat recorded in Volume J, Page 692 of the Map Records of Collin County, Texas, and being a certain 5.043 acre tract of land situated in the Duke Strickland Survey, Abstract No. 841, City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas.

Thompson stated that the Final Plat under consideration will create a single lot of 5.043 acres by combining Lot 5 and Lot 1A. The new lot is intended to accommodate the future expansion of the existing Buckner Boulevard Plumbing facility, currently occupying Lot 5.

The property was rezoned to the current Business Center (BC) District from Industrial (I) District with the adoption of the new Zoning Ordinance and Map in December of 2001. The Century Business Park was originally platted in 1986. Since that time, several lots have been created by replatting as the Highway 78 Business Park. The current Plat redirects the name of the addition back to the original Century Business Park. Lot 5 was replatted in 1996 under the name of the Century Business Park and Lot 1A was replatted in 2001 under the current name also.

No one was present to represent the applicant.

Commissioners questioned the building line setback. Thompson stated that the Plat provides a front building line of 50 feet, as required by the new Business Center zoning, rather than the 20 feet of the earlier Industrial zoning as reflected on the neighboring Lot 1B. Existing development may be maintained at the older standards in effect when they were platted. All new development must comply with the current standards.

Commissioner Hughes questioned the existing drainage and utility easement that dissects the tract at the old common property line and along the northwest property line. Thompson stated that no development plans have been submitted but the applicant is aware that no buildings can be placed over this easement. The easement could be relocated to the south property line if this central area is required for structures.

Motion was made by Commissioner Phillips, seconded by Commissioner Hughes, to recommend approval of the Final Plat. Motion passed 5 – 0.

Motion made by Commissioner Hughes, seconded by Commissioner Snider, to adjourn at 7:15 p.m. Motion passed 5 – 0.
