Commissioner Gouge asked if that was being considered to which the Architect on the project, Doug Herron answered yes, it is being considered moving forlWail- Chair Butler mentioned the Commercial building starting with the residential building as something that concerns him. He stated that in the past, there have been situations like this where the developer has come in saying there will be commercial land and the homes start getting built and the developer comes back stating the commercial piece will not work financially and they want to build more homes. He questioned if the developer would be open to some type of stipulation in the PD that includes a certain percentage of homes being completed or a certain e of commercial comileted before the final insDection.

Herron stated the developpers don' t mind addinmxre commercial commercial development. Chair Butler opened the Public Hearing at 6:18 PM. Resident Lanny White approached the Commission stating that the presentation was great, however, he does not think it is in the right area.He explained his concern was regarding the traffic in the area. He questioned having another park in the area and who would be maintaining the area. He stated that Country Club is the busiest street in Wylie and that he does not see the traffic flow going down. He stated that Country Club and the neighborhood were full and while the presentation was great, he thinks it should be in a dif erent area as the area has been saturated with houses and businesses. Resident David Dahl approached the commission stating that he has been watching this property since he moved to the neighborhood and is very anxious to see the property be developed and cleaned up.He stated that he liked this development plan because Washington would only be opened in the event of a fire. He explained that he has lived in Presidential Estates for twenty years and there has never been a house fire in their development. He state. that if they have opened it up for maintenance, he has only seen that twice in twenty years. Dahl stated that he is be going Southbound as well. He stated that lastly, the owner of this property has the right to develop. He stated that under the State Charter and the City Charter, he is al owed to develop. He stated that the area was not overbuilt and that there was a huge street capable of handling the traffic. Resident Jeff Monmey approached the commission stating that he has been in the area for just shy of two years and that they moved to the area because it was somewhat open compared to other areas. He stated that the traffic is going to end somewhere and that is on 544. He stated that he avoids this area. The High School is get ing out and you can' t turn left so he does not go anywhere at a certain time.He questioned if anyone had a number for how many people per home there would be and how many cars per household. He explained that if everyone was going to work at the same time and coming home at the same time, how would that not affect their area?He congest the area even more and that he is against the development. Resident Wendy Good approached the Commission questioning a flier that was given through all of Presidential Estates with things that they would be doing and benefits of the development however she was there at the last Page 13 City Council meeting and one thing mentioned to the developer was that they were saying all of these things but none of it was in writing so it is not legal. She questioned what of the things being said were actually in writing and how they were going to be held accountable for what they were saying was going to be developed. She expressed that this was a big concern of hers. She questioned why not change the zoning to residential. She stated that everything possibly needed was within a mile so she is unclear as to why more businesses are needed. With no one else approaching the Commission, Chair Butler closed the Public Hearing at 6: 31 PM. Community Services Director Jasen Haskins addressed the question regarding what was being said versus what I ad to be done in the t -,-roTosal that w s - - _ iven. He ex dained that tb Aeck ,nfrf r_ -,• all of the things that have to be done. There is also a Zoning Exhibit and if that is to be approved by Council, it would then become a City Ordinance and that is how they are legally held accountable for what needs to be completed.

Commissioner Gouge stated that he would not want to do something that would destroy the City in any shape or form. Vice -chair Byrne stated that Resident Dahl was right about this being someone' s property and that they have every right to develop it. He said that if you' d like to do something else with the land, the owner would sell it to you.

Director Haskins stated that the best thing to do if this was to be recom ended to Council was to add a concur ency requirement within the PD.He explained that he would work with the applicant to get the language in the PD before it goes to Council and they would figure out the specifics. He stated that they will make it a concur ency where it is figured out where there would be half of the commercial completed before half of the houses are done. Something like that.Lye S A not aparmienL= 6 of the highest homeownership rates in the DFW area. He stated that they never try to burden any other neighborhood with an apartment building because that is how you get a lot of the problems that have been discussed.
