CONSENT AGENDA ITEM

1. Consider and act upon approval of the Minutes from the March 18, 2003, Regular Meeting.

Commissioners stated that the stipulation to the Conditions for the Special Use Permit should include the planting and maintenance of a living screening at the top of the hill on the east side of the property as well as on the south property line at the cemetery. There will be no outside activities until the screening is high enough to screen light and noise.

With no other changes, a Motion was made by Commissioner Chapman, and seconded by Commissioner Hughes, to recommend approval of the Minutes with changes noted. Motion carried 7 - 0.

ACTION AGENDA

1. Consider and act upon approval of a Site Plan for the Sargent Building, being all of a certain 0.899 acre (39,150 square feet) tract of land, located at 2803 Capital Street, being Lot 11, Block B of the Regency Business Park Addition Phase 2, and being situated in the William M. Sachse Survey, Abstract No. 835, City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas.

Thompson stated that the subject property was platted in 1987 as Lot 11 of Block B of the Regency Business Park Addition Phase 2. The proposal is to build 8,000 square feet office/warehouse facility of approximately 1,900 square feet of offices and 6,100 square feet of warehouse area. Development rights are vested in the dimensional regulations of the previous code in effect at platting, but the applicant has agreed to comply with the current building requirements.

Commissioner George questioned that the point requirement is being fully met. Thompson reviewed the point tabulation on the Site Plan with the Commissioners.

Michael Sargent, 2804 Capital Street, Wylie, represented as the applicant of the subject property. He stated that no elevations are available for the building, but that it will be brick and white stone. The intention is to concrete the back portion of the property and have a fence along the back of the property. There will be no outside storage, only a construction trailer with equipment parked on the back of the property.

A motion was made by Commissioner Snider, and seconded by Commissioner Chapman, to approve the Site Plan as submitted. Motion carried 7 - 0.

MISCELLANEOUS

1. Commissioner George acknowledged Thompson and Commissioner Snider's Birthday in March.
     
2. Thompson reviewed discussed articles concerning residential growth in the Wylie area. A memo noted increased Single Family Residential permits culminating in 149 during March being the highest monthly total in Wylie history. A news article compared prices of housing in the Metroplex during the last three years, indicating that most is priced under $150,00. These trends are common to those of Wylie, and why we are encouraging larger lots and enhanced construction to raise prices locally.
     
3. Thompson said that the next several meetings will continue to consider the revisions to the Comprehensive Plan, especially the philosophy, goals, recommendations and actions. Draft of the text will be provided before the next meeting.

ADJOURNMENT

A motion was made by Commissioner Phillips, and seconded by Commissioner Adamcik, to adjourn at 7:45 PM. Motion carried 7 - 0.
