Box 1467 Wylie, TX 75098 SUBJECT: Kansas City Southern (KCS) Intermodal Facility and Related Industrial Development-Wylie, Texas Dear Mr. Satterwhite: Insight Research Corporation has completed an economic impact analysis which examines the economic and tax impacts of a Kansas City Southern Intermodal facility and related industrial development to be located in the City of Wylie, Texas. This letter transmits findings as these actions affect the City of Wylie, the State of Texas and other taxing jurisdictions. BACKGROUND KCS is requesting rezoning of approximately 550 acres, which they now own, located on both sides of its tracks between Spring Creek Parkway and Skyview Drive. Proposed development plans envision moving the intermodal activities from KCS's existing Zacha yard in Garland to the more flexible location for business expansion in Wylie. PROJECT DESCRIPTION - KCS INTERMODAL FACILITY A planned development of three phases is proposed which will include construction of new tracks, removal of 3.3 miles of main railroad line from the State Highway 78 corridor, and the development of a 200-acre industrial park consistent with KCS transport and shipping capacity. Plans for the manifest facility for commercial freight are to be operational in 1998. The intermodal yard is tentatively scheduled to open in 2003 with a capacity of 150,000 lifts per year. The facility is to be designed to accommodate growth to 250,000 lifts per year. (214)238-8838 • FAX(214)238-0588 4' Phase One - As Phase One, the three track manifest yard is proposed in 1998, relocating 30 employees from its Zacha facilities in Garland to the Wylie site. This yard would have an annual payroll of $1.7 million and require a capital investment of $7.5 million in land and facilities. Phase Two Expansion - The intermodal facility would be relocated to Wylie in 2003 with an operating capacity expected to be 150,000 lifts annually. This would increase employment by 50 persons, bringing the annual payroll to $4.6 million. The capital investment for this phase of expansion of the intermodal facility is expected to be $10 million. Phase Three Expansion - By 2006, further incremental expansion of the intermodal facility will provide employment for another 20 persons, adding $1.1 million to the annual payroll. Lift capacity would increase to 200,000 annually requiring an additional $18.5 million in capital investments. The KCS intermodal facility, at full development in 2006, will have a total capital investment of $36 million with ad valorem value as set by the State of Texas under the rail corridor law, and provide employment for about 100 persons. The KCS annual payroll at full facility development is expected to be almost $5.7 million. PRELIMINARY EVALUATION OF RELATED INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT The economic, tax and employment impacts of a related industrial development such as that expected in the adjacent industrial park have also been examined. Driven by the manifest yard service, warehouse space totaling 50,000 sf annually is expected to be added in each of the first five years of the project (1999 - 2003) to a total of 250,000 sf. Each of these warehouses is assumed to occupy six acres at a total capital investment of about $4 million, with 20 employees and annual payrolls of $560,000. The total capital investment of these five warehouses would be $20 million. Driven by the new availability of intermodal service, an additional 100,000 sf of warehouse space will be added in each of the next three years. These three warehouses will each occupy 12 acres, employ 40 people with a payroll of $1.1 million, and require capital investment of $8 million. The combined capital investment for these three facilities will be $24 million. Under these assumptions, a total of 550,000 sf of new warehouse/distribution facilities are expected by the year 2006, with total new employment of 220 as full-time equivalent positions, and an annual payroll of$6.1 million.

Insight Research Corp.,9441 LBJ Fwy, Ste 618, LB 20, Dallas,TX 75243 (972)238-8838 Page 2 FINDINGS Economic Impact - Cumulative 1997 through 2006 The economic impact of construction and operation of the facilities, expanded as proposed between 1997 and 2006, will be $314 million in private development. This impact is widely experienced and driven by all areas of purchasing, employment and operating functions. These impacts result from the following activities at the site: Manifest and Intermodal $164 Million Warehouse Distribution Facilities $150 Million Total $314 Million Employment Impact- Cumulative 1997 through 2006 This private taxable development will add 4,562 worker/years* to the regional economy between 1997 and 2006 including both construction and operating activities. The following worker/years are also associated with each potential phase. For this level of analysis, one job for one year equals one worker/year. Manifest and Intermodal 2,033 Warehouse Distribution Facilities 2,528 Total 4,562 Tax Impacts- Cumulative 1997 through 2006 Tax advantages expected from activity over the next decade are as shown below, with direct and indirect taxes as generated by the new development and staffing yielding more than $15 million in cumulative tax revenues to these jurisdictions from 1997 through 2006: Copyright 1997.

Detailed assumptions used for these analyses are provided in Section 5. The types of impact examined in this report are defined as follows: 1. Economic Impact. Economic impact is the benefit to the general economy of the entire Dallas PMSA, shown as a multiplier and generally referred to as the "economic ripple effect." This calculation uses U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis RIMS input-output multipliers specific to the Dallas PMSA. 2. Direct and Indirect Employment. Direct employment refers to combined payrolls of the development, while indirect employment is the employment that is generated by the purchases of goods and services by the development and its employees. 3. Tax Impact. Tax impact is the resulting benefit to the state and local jurisdictions as a result of the direct and indirect employment and spending of the proposed development. Copyright 1997. Insight Research Corp., 9441 LBJ Fwy, Ste 618, LB 20, Dallas,TX 75243 (972)238-8838 Page 4 LIMITATIONS OF THE ASSUMPTIONS • Total economic impact of the development extends beyond the Wylie area, as some purchases are made outside the region. • Employment of any part-time workers has been reduced to "full time equivalent" positions (FTE) using a standard workweek and benefits. • Models use a simplified base line approach, with no property value or tax increases, no depreciation, or CPI increases assumed. The base line approach provides a conservative economic and tax view of impact and the most accurate interpretation of employment impact. • Tax impact does not include federal income tax on the activities of the business, which are determined as a tax on annual net profits or book values. No tax deferrals such as incentives or abatements are included in these calculations. Flexible econometric models are now in place which may be modified at your request as you evaluate development alternatives. Thank you for the opportunity to be of service. I look forward to our further discussions and may be reached at your convenience at (972) 238-8838. Sincerely, . Elizabeth Morris President Copyright 1997.

KANSAS CITY SOUTHERN INDUSTRIES, INC. 114 WEST ELEVENTH STREET KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI 64105-1804 WARREN K.EROMAN (818)983-1464 Via President Fax (816)983-1192 Corporate Man August 15, 1997 The Honorable Mayor Jim D. Swartz, Members of the City Council, Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission: Thank you for allowing Kansas City Southern and our partners, Alliance Development Company and MK Centennial Engineering, to present to you our concept of an exciting new development opportunity for Wylie. We believe this offers a unique opportunity for planned economic growth in your community for the next century. Wylie's strategic location in the Greater Dallas Metroplex and its proximity to our new NAFTA Railway network give you important transportation advantages in the global economy evolving around us. You have an opportunity to make use of these advantages in the century ahead and plan your community's growth. We would like to be your partners in this effort. With this is mind, we present today a concept plan for the creation and future development of EASTPORT at Wylie, Texas. EASTPORT would be a planned business park and intermodal freight distribution terminal located on the eastern edge of your community. We believe this combination of access to the NAFTA Railway via the EASTPORT Intermodal Terminal and the EASTPORT Business Park brings exciting planned growth opportunities to your community. As you will see in the pages ahead,we have detailed our thoughts on the development of EASTPORT at Wylie, Texas, but we want your input and thoughts as well. We envision EASTPORT as a joint venture among the City of Wylie, the Wylie Economic Development Corporation, Alliance Development Company and Kansas City Southern. Thank you again for the wonderful hospitality your community and its leaders have shown us to date. We look forward to developing this joint venture with you and working in partnership to realize these opportunities. S cerely, a K. Erdman Introduction This booklet summarizes the results of the Kansas City Southern Railway Company's efforts to present a concept plan which, if consummated, would have a dramatic effect upon the community of Wylie. This effect may be characterized by listing the physical characteristics of each element of the plan (which is done in a following section). It may also be described as a very substantial opportunity to improve the economy of the City through the development of the Eastport Business and Industrial Park and to a lesser extent, the opening up of 900,000 square feet of commercial and business frontage property through the center of Wylie. Another way to describe the concept plan would be to visualize the change to the "main street" business sector through central Wylie. On the SH-78 corridor, the opportunity to develop and present a two-sided business district between FM544 and Brown Street is possible. A final description may be developed under the heading of community environment. The concept plan provides for the removal of the KCS mainline tracks for a distance of 3.3 miles through the heart of the community. With this removal and relocation to another existing track comes the elimination of 14 at-grade intersections (each subject to FRA required horn-blowing) and further at the conclusion of Phase IV, the existing 13 trains a day through Wylie, would be reduced to 7. This booklet, along with the associated visual presentation, describes the concept plan in detail, presents a summary of the economic benefits, describes in detail existing KCS train operations along with future changes envisioned by the plan, describes the effect of the intermodal truck traffic on the community, provides a summary of the development, marketing and economic benefits available through the synergistic merging of a KCS rail- served transportation hub and a business park(Eastport) planned and marketed by the Alliance Development Company. Further information is provided on site characteristics, drainage, utilities and hazardous materials transport. A most significant part of the concept plan is that it will provide a strong impetus to Texas DOT to take advantage of available right-of-way and to design a modern 4-lane facility without having to impact existing business on the south side and without the complicating need for 10 new at-grade crossings with the railroad on the north side. The keystone of the plan is the formation of a joint venture/partnership between KCS, the Alliance Development Company and the Wylie Economic Development Corporation to develop and actively market Eastport. This report contains a summary of the visual presentation made before the Wylie Planning and Zoning Commission and members of the Wylie City Council on August 18, 1997. Concept Plan Phase I provides for the construction of 10,000 feet of new mainline track between Eubanks Lane and Skyview Drive. At Eubanks Lane, the relocated mainline traffic is carried on the existing track (old Cottonbelt) to a point west of Wylie Industrial Park where a new spur connection is made connecting the relocated track back to the existing mainline track. A new rail switchyard for commercial traffic will be constructed north of the new mainline. This facility will replace the Garland (Zacha Yard) relocating 30 employees to the new Wylie facility. With the completion of this construction, the existing track structure along the old KCS mainline would be removed, approximately 3.3 miles, making available to Texas DOT an additional 50 feet of right-of-way and eliminating the interference of rail facilities on the design. Phase II and III are a coordinated, Wylie Economic Development Corp. and Alliance/KCS effort to develop the Eastport Industrial Park and to provide incentives to the Texas Department of Transportation to expedite the planned (but unfunded) widening of SH-78. The Eastport Industrial Park will be phased to coincide with the marketing plan developed by a joint venture/partnership of the Wylie Economic Development Corporation, Alliance Development Company and the KCS Railroad. Initial construction will be to provide utilities, rail spur service and internal access road, and a landscaped "signature" entrance. Phase IV is scheduled to be completed after SH-78 is widened and improved. The planning is for an initial facility capable of handling 150,000 lifts. When open, this facility will replace the Zacha Yard at Garland. Construction of the intermodal facility consists of two 6,400 foot ramp tracks, 6 storage tracks, parking for 460 trailers/containers, concrete paving for the ramp tracks and asphalt paving for the parking areas, 4-lane entrance road, gate with 2 inbound and 2 outbound stations. The design of the facility will provide state-of-the-art facilities, comparable to a new facility recently opened at Jackson, Mississippi. In addition, intermodal operations will be integrated with the rail operations of the industrial park. An AVI gate will allow incoming trailers to be delivered to manufacturers and warehousing within Eastport, and rail car deliveries will be spotted by the intermodal operations contractor. -_.—._"_. -.__. . ,l � y A p. f I .PRI4 k.V, a i r 4 ...wr ^+- i { s pit'"II, i5 N+ ''-.. l L. #' WILEY ENTERPRISES fJC I aL ,- a, "! e4 r 4�: ''' <ALEXANDER 6 TUCKER -,•�-0 Z '" -At t 1 N p 1,,_ 4. r ,, r,,- fi, r.. r `{ .,•10 5. y OY• t'3� t•t 4 �� !..`I!s ., *.2 ` «t ;y. 1a t pf W P �y` S f pY �Ir,` .r t w IL i t ;b I 1ti /'� �!` ,y a r,4711-.,, ... t' 6 (� �. `" �'d4rs t+i 1 �14. .� .' / U.S. '� I.?A "„ �� '. t tr� .�fin" �« v • n ' � •! r , a • , k WILEY ENTERPRI$E�S INC }• #.§ ^ ti• wa A 3W r t." 4 WILEY ENTERPRISES �>f W> r;- *,4 }_- (ALEXAN E T CKER) (ALEXANDER 6 TUCKER) , S— I +{,0 j �,y�, r.

Using the projections of the plan described above, Insight Research Corporation has projected for a ten-year period, 1997 through 2006, the cumulative economic impact of private construction and operations for the transportation terminal facilities and for the Eastport Business Park will be $314 million. Employment is projected to grow from 50 jobs in 1999 to 1,293 by the year 2006. Total direct and indirect taxes generated by employment and spending are projected by Insight over the 10-year period to exceed $15 million. In addition to the economic benefits listed above, the concept plan envisions $15 million in public funds for the reconstruction of SH-78 from FM544 to SH-205. It is also expected the existing and new business will take advantage of surplus KCS right-of- way along the north side of SH-78. Approximately 90,000 square feet of excess right-of-way will become available as part of the plan. Several existing businesses have expressed to KCS a desire to purchase this property if it becomes available. Development of this property, over 11 acres in between FM544 and Brown Street, could create as much as 200,000 S.F. of new commercial/retail space with attendant associated jobs and tax revenues to the city, county and state. KCS Train Operations The proposed concept development plan provides for a substantial reduction in the number of through trains affecting Wylie. At the end of the development period, with both a new manifest (commercial) switchyard and a new intermodal yard in operation, existing train traffic will be reduced by almost one-half of what it is today. The following describes KCS's currently operating trains, followed by the changes in operations when the mainline is relocated and the rail manifest yard is in operation. This phase of the plan reduces existing train traffic by two trains. Following that, the completion of the new Intermodal Facility at Wylie would further reduce existing train traffic by four times. Present Operation The following schedules represent the current operations through the community of Wylie, Texas.

There are 5 eastbound schedules (2 from Alliance and 3 from Zacha Jet.) and 4 westbound schedules (2 to Alliance and 2 to Zacha Jet.) operating through the City of Wylie. In addition to the through scheduled freight trains, there are 3 road switchers scheduled to operate out of Dallas to Wylie and return daily. Even though the road switchers are scheduled to operate at various times of the day. the normal operation is based on tonnage and car volume to be moved and, consequently, they may not operate to Wylie every day. Those trains which are scheduled for operation to and from Alliance (IALAII, MALSH1, IATAL1, MNOAL I) operate over the DART (old Cottonbelt) line between Lavon Jet. (i.e., Wylie) and Renner through Richardson and Plano, Texas. The remaining trains (IDAATI, IDAKC1, MDASH7, IATDA1, and the 3 road switchers)operate through downtown Wylie via the former Santa Fe line purchased by KCS Railway. Therefore, the present volume of trains to and from Alliance is 4 trains per day and the volume of trains to and from Dallas (through downtown Wylie) is 5 times per day plus 3 road switchers. This is a total of 8 trains per day to and from Dallas. The total scheduled operations, therefore, calls for 12 trains per day through Wylie, Texas. Proposed Operation i Rail Manifest Yard Only) With the construction of the rail manifest yard in Wylie, KCS will relocate the switching and classification of manifest traffic from the Zacha Jet. facility to the new rail yard. This change in operation will reduce and eventually eliminate the congestion at Zacha Jet. due to the commingling and handling of manifest traffic with the intermodal ramp operation. All of the through manifest trains would originate and terminate in the new rail manifest yard where cars would be switched and classified. Those cares which are destined to and received from local Dallas industries and foreign roads for interchange in Dallas, would be handled by the 3 road switchers previously listed above. These trains would operate over the new relocated main line via the new connection at SH544 to and from Dallas. At this point in the project, there would be no train traffic operating through downtown Wylie. In addition to the 3 road switchers in operation between Wylie and Zacha Jet., there would be 4 intermodal trains (IDAAT 1, IDAKC 1, IATDA1, IKCDA 1) operating into and out of Zacha Jet. over this same route. There would continue to be 4 trains (IALAII, MALSH1, IATALI, MNOAL 1) operating over the DART line between Wylie and Renner to and from Alliance. The effect of a new rail manifest yard in Wylie on KCS's train operation would be to eliminate all train traffic through downtown Wylie since the main line will be relocated to tie in with the DART line and back into KCS's main line to Dallas at FM544 connection. The trains scheduled to and from the Zacha Jet. facility would also continue to operate as present. The 2 existing manifest trains would originate and terminate in the new rail yard with their traffic being shuttled into and out of Dallas with the 3 road switchers which are presently scheduled. The net effect would be the elimination of 2 manifest trains through Wylie and the elimination of all traffic over the existing main line route through downtown Wylie. The overall effect of the rail manifest yard would be to reduce existing total train traffic by two trains per day. Proposed Operation (Rail and Intermodal Yard at Wylie) With the construction of both the rail and intermodal yard facilities comes the biggest impact in train operation as it relates to the City of Wylie. All traffic (intermodal and manifest) destined to Dallas would originate and terminate at the new facility. Cars destined for local Dallas industries and foreign road interchange in Dallas would continue to be handled by the 3 scheduled road switchers over the FM544 connection, but all 5 through trains presently operating into and out of Dallas would originate and terminate at the new Wylie facility. The 4 trains operating to and from Alliance would continue to operate via the DART line. The net effect would be the elimination of 6 trains to and from Dallas which presently operate through the community of Wylie. The exhibits on the following pages illustrate the phased changes to the train traffic. ' ---7-asbr- • • • ,••, 4% ./t—. ., ..14: -,,,..2,.;_-. ,,,_. • ^J " fi� r � r• , j ' ,* �. ID � qZ PI Li . .

Intermodal Truck Traffic The proposed intermodal terminal has generated a number of questions from citizens, one of which concerns the iimpact of additional truck trips on the City's business arterial, SH-78. The proposed schedule for construction of the intermodal facility will follow the scheduled completion of the widening and improvement to SH-78 by Texas DOT. The existing truck traffic to and from KCS's Zacha facility in Garland originates largely from southeast of the Junction of I-635/I-30. This means that a viable alternative route to the Wylie facility from the I-635/1-30 Junction would be via I-30/SH-205 (which is currently being widened and improved). To evaluate the viability of the alternative route, an origin-destination study was conducted at Zacha Yard along with a travel time study of the SH-78 route to Wylie vs. the I-30/SH-205 route. Following is a brief description of the study and the results. Transportation planning and route studies are an integral part of intermodal facility planning. Trucks which currently travel to the existing intermodal facility, Zacha Yard, are the expected users of the proposed facility in Wylie. In order to determine travel patterns for trucks traveling to and from Zacha Yard in Garland, it was necessary to collect some information on the origin and destination of those trucks. It was also necessary to establish approximate travel times from Zacha Yard to the proposed facility. This report describes the findings of the origin/destination survey and the travel time study. Origin/Destination Survey The origin/destination survey was conducted from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 25, 1997 and Thursday, June 26, 1997 at Zacha Yard in Garland. Two representatives were present on each day; one to survey incoming truck drivers and the other to survey outgoing drivers. The entering truck drivers were given a map of the area and were asked to highlight the route that was used to reach Zacha Yard. Similarly, the exiting truck drivers were asked to highlight the expected route they would take to reach their destination upon leaving Zacha Yard. The results are as follows: 71.2% of the truck drivers cross the I-30/ I-635 junction when entering and leaving Zacha Yard. In addition, 22.2% enter/exit the intermodal site from the north loop of I-635, and 6.6% travel on local streets. These calculations are described in tabular format and in greater detail in the report to follow. The results of the origin and destination study indicate that in the future, the majority (approximately 75%) of trucks will pass through the I-30/I-635 Junction on their way to and from Wylie. I raN el rime Studs The travel time study was conducted as follows: each alternative route between Zacha Yard and Wylie Intermodal Facility was driven during various hours of the day, and travel times and distances were recorded at major intersections. From this data, travel times were calculated for each leg of each trip, and any travel delays were estimated. This information provided a more accurate comparison between the two alternative routes. Again, the report in the Appendix describes the calculations in more detail. Sx Conclusions The truck driver's current travel pattern is a major factor in determining the expected route that the trucks will choose. As determined from the origin/destination survey, 22.2% of the trucks enter/exit Zacha Yard from the north loop of I-635 (LBJ Freeway). An additional 71.2% enter/exit Zacha Yard from the west on I-30 or the south loop of I-635, crossing the I-30/I-635 junction. The remaining 6.6% enter/exit Zacha Yard from local streets. It is expected that those currently crossing the I-30/I-635 junction will choose to remain on I-30 to SH-205 and SH-78 (71.2%), and those traveling on the north loop of 1-635(22.2%) will take the SH-78 route through Garland. It is also estimated that the 6.6% entering Zacha Yard on local streets will be split between the two routes (i.e., 3.3% will choose the I-30 route, and 3.3% will choose the SH-78 route). Summing these numbers, 74.5% may be expected to take the I-30/SH-205 route and 25.5% may be expected to take the SH-78 route through Garland. Another factor to be considered to determine expected route is travel time. After completion of SH-205 construction, the total travel time for the SH-78 route is two to three minutes lower than for the I-30, SH- 205 route. Because it is less than 10% of the total travel time, this difference in travel time is insignificant. Finally, traffic congestion and driver frustration play a significant role in determining expected travel route. The majority of the trucks surveyed in the origin and destination survey chose routes which included fewer stops/starts (traffic signals, stop signs) and fewer turns (more direct routes). The SH-78 route includes five traffic signals and three turns through downtown Garland alone. The I- 30, SH-205 route includes three traffic signals, but no turns, through downtown Rockwall. Driver frustration can be predicted at both of these locations, and there is no alternate route to avoid these areas. However, considering the number of traffic signals and additional turns in Garland, driver frustration is expected to be more significant on the SH-78 route. In conclusion, the representative volume of trucks approaching Zacha Yard from the I-30/I-635 junction lead us to the conclusion that at least 74.5% of the trucks will choose the I-30/SH-205 route. In addition, it may be estimated that a larger percentage will eventually choose the I-30/SH- 205 route after they have experienced frustration traveling through Garland on the SH-78 route. In summary, it is anticipated that a significant majority of the drivers (over 75%) will choose to take the I-30/SH-205 route, expecting additional travel time of approximately one-half hour each way. A summary of the study data are contained in the Appendix. The following exhibits present the O&D and travel time results. hi_m- nodal Truck Volumes The Zacha UM Terminal is expected to close out the 1997 year with an annual volume of 100,000 lifts. For each lift, approximately one truck trip (inbound or outbound) is usually required. Using an average of 6 days per week, this would equate to 320 one-way truck trips per day. Using the projected traffic split of 25% to SH-78 and 75% to I-30/SH-205. approximately 80 trucks per day would be added to the existing SH-78. By 2001 this number would increase to 120. Ate: To determine the percentage of trucks currently on SH-78, two locations were established for a 4-day classification count. There were: LOCATION AVG. % OF TRUCKS SH-78 /Wylie Municipal Center 9.8% SH-78 / Just south of FM544 7.5% To evaluate the impact of the additional trucks on SH-78, the Total Average Daily Traffic Volumes (ADT) are projected from 1990 to 2020 (by Texas DOT) on the attached graph. Using an average of 9.8% for the projected opening date 2003, the following chart graphically depicts the increase in truck traffic due to the intermodal terminal. These volumes (car and truck) are well within the capacity of a 4-lane highway. . / t . . . { , , . ) 1 ,) .) . .P7re:r•volom , .• I .1,1•....0 1 .. , a:. ..., 'i•r \ \._,--), ... . 1 , 1 \ , j - (.. i (7- C.._ \ ...'•• i I / , L.•••13•11••• I / .1111••• , ' '* , _____ _... ..i...

Truck . - Traffic w/o lntermodal 0 1990 2000 2010 2020 Total traffic projections from Texas DOT Drainage Site Analysis Existing Drainage Patterns The site is approximately 450 acres; 50 acres west and north of the old Cotton Belt rail line, 200 acres north of the KCS rail line, and 200 acres south of the KCS rail line. The site west and north of the old Cotton Belt line drains north with the rail line being a drainage divider. This drainage exits this site within one mile of Lake Lavon. There is a natural creek that this drainage enters. There are relatively no improvements downstream of this site. The site north of the KCS line and south of the old Cotton Belt line drains toward the middle of the site and proceeds north/northeast. The two rail lines are drainage divides forcing water to stay within the rail line confines. There is a natural creek that this drainage presently uses. The natural drainage goes north of the Cotton Belt line, turns southeast and runs parallel to the cotton Belt rails and discharges into the East Fork Trinity River south and downstream of the Lake Lavon Dam. There are no significant improvements downstream of the site. The site south of the KCS rail line has a split drainage pattern. The drainage divide is approximately along the proposed industrial park gate road. Most of the site drains toward the middle of the site and north under the KCS rail line. This drainage then combines with the above noted drainage that continues into the East Fork Trinity River. The eastern portion of the site drains east/southeast. This drainage goes under SH-78 and discharges into the East Fork Trinity River approximately one mile southeast of the site and downstream of the Lake Lavon Dam. There is a natural creek that has been improved by TxDOT within the SH-78 right-of-way that this drainage presently uses. There are relatively no improvements downstream of this site. There is presently a closed drainage system on Spring Creek Parkway, Centennial, and the City of Wylie property. These systems drain into an earthen drainage channel that continues east then northeast through the industrial portion of the intermodal site, south of the KCS rail line. This channel was constructed in 1989+/-. This channel has a 10' flat bottom with 4:1 side slopes, and maintaining a 6' depth of water and a 3' freeboard. This channel feathers into an existing channel that discharges through a 6' x 6' box under the KCS rail line. The rest of the site is undeveloped. SH-78, Eubank Road north of Centennial, and Skyview all have open ditch drainage running parallel to the roads. Existing Site Zoning The site north and west of the old Cotton belt, and north of the KCS rail line is zoned agricultural. South of the KCS rail line, the site is zoned mostly single family with a narrow strip along SH-78 being business. A small portion of this area on the far east side is zoned agricultural also. �ti �. Design Criteria The City of Wylie has drainage design criteria that will dictate the on-site design. The site drainage, both open and closed, will be designed for the 100-year storm. The discharge from the site will be based on the existing fully developed zoning classification therefore there will need to be retention/detention facilities. The proposed streets will have curb inlets. All closed outfall structures will be required to have headwalls. Site Drainage Options For the area south of the existing KCS rail line, using the existing channel crossing the site makes the most sense. Channel improvements and minor relocation is suggested. The existing street closed system along Spring Creek Parkway would be tied into this improved channel. All streets in the industrial park portion of the site should go into this closed system. The far eastern drainage would sheet flow toward the east until this part of the industrial park is fully developed. A small closed system following the original direction would serve this area. An enclosed culvert system under the rail yard within the basic limits of the existing channel is suggested to transmit the water from the south site northward, following the natural path. The rail yard would drain into a retention/detention facility north of the yard. A 1,000' square facility could be placed almost anywhere within the area north of the rail yard and basically within the drainage channel. While not required by the City of Wylie's drainage criteria, this type of facility would serve as a containment area for any material spill within the rail yard. The site west and north of the old Cotton Belt could be drained in an open system following the natural course but there is a possibility of a second retention/detention facility. This area would need tight scrutiny to assure that there would be restricted use to assure that a second retention/detention facility is not required. City Engineer Comments Discussions with the City's Engineer (Hogan Corporation) revealed that the City does not want a retention/detention system if they can find other means to resolve downstream situations. Condemnation, channel improvements, or maybe nothing since most areas drain directly into main discharge points were some of the City's comments. Further discussions will occur when a more defined site plan is completed. -' -."-04 ':" '... •' '4''.,.:,".."';',-'f.,'ty,."---,,,z7--;`, ' '. 33'. . ''''' cf, • .44,.....3 4. _,. . ' .-; " ..

The power and telephone data was obtained through site visits only. There are presently power poles along the north side of SH-78 that also have telephone facilities on them. Water Service The proposed intermodal facility site is located within two water supply providers, the City of Wylie and the Wylie Northeast Water Supply Corporation. North of the existing active KCS rail line is a dual water supply area. South of the KCS tracks, the City of Wylie is the sole supplier. The western portion of the site that is north of the abandoned Cotton Belt line is also a dual supply area. The City of Wylie intends to resolve the dual-service areas so as to bring them under City service. Discussions with the City indicate that this will be accomplished before any construction begins on the site. There is a 12" water line on the east side of Spring Creek Parkway that dead-ends at the National Guard Armory. This 12" line is connected to an 8" line that runs south of SH-78 on the east side of Kreymer Lane. This 12" line completes a loop by connecting with a 12" line that is on the south side of Centennial. This second 12" line connects south SH-78 to an 8" line which is on the east side of Eubanks. These lines are all on the City of Wylie water supply. There is an existing 20" NTMWD line on the north side of SH-78 that is a transmission line for the City of Rowlett. There are no known City water services north and east of these noted lines. There are several 12" and 8" stub-outs on the 12" lines along Spring Creek and both 12" and 8" stub-outs along SH-78. Sanitary Sewer There is a 12" sanitary sewer line on the west side of Spring Creek Parkway that ends just south of Centennial and runs south on the west side of Kreymer Lane. There is another 12" sanitary sewer line on the north side of Centennial that runs west then south in the center of Eubanks. These 12" lines terminate into a single 12" line in Old Highway 78 and continue south. The 12" line in Centennial services the Armory north of the operating rail line. There are several stub-outs on both 12" lines. Both lines are at least 10' deep at the northern ends with clean-outs. All lines are serviced by the City of Wylie. There are no services north and east of this area. All buildings north and east of this area are on individual septic systems. A controlling feature for sanitary service is the site topography which is high on the west, descending east/northeast toward a low point roughly within the middle of the site which drains northeast. The existing KCS rail line and the abandoned Cotton Belt rail line are drainage dividers. North of the Cotton Belt, the ground descends north. The area between the rail lines descends to the above noted low point in the middle of the site. On the lower east portion of the site, there is a drainage divide that descends east/southeast. The total site basically descends from south to north. Visual inspection of the site indicates that power and telephone service can be obtained from existing systems. As preliminary engineering for the site progresses, coordination with Texas Utilities and G.T.E. will be necessary to determine specific requirements. Water service to the site could be provided by tying into the existing 12" line in Spring Creek Parkway. A looped system could be created by connecting a 12" water line to the existing 12" in SH-78, proceed east to the proposed gate road, proceed north into the intermodal facilities north of the KCS tracks, proceed west then turn south in alignment with the second most easterly proposed road south of the KCS tracks, then proceed west and connect to the existing 12" line in Spring Creek Parkway. Inner site loops could then supply the proposed industrial site, proposed intermodal yard, and the proposed yard offices. Sanitary sewer can be provided to the most westerly portion of the site by one 12" sanitary sewer service which would be gravity flow to the southwest. The remainder of the site would be served by an 8"gravity flow system that would flow into a proposed lift station north of the KCS tracks, just west of the gate road that would then be pumped west along the KCS line into the existing 12" in Spring Creek Parkway. There will be onsite facilities to wash, maintain, and handle emergency situations. These facilities will be connected to the sanitary sewer system. There also will be an on-site storm drainage retention/detention facility that will be connected to the sanitary sewer system. This drainage facility will be controlled to allow contents to be released into either the sanitary sewer or the drainage system after appropriate treatment, e.g., oil-water separation. The proposed service has been discussed with the City's Engineer and no exceptions were taken. Further discussions await the completion of a definitive site plan. There are presently no water tanks planned for this area. There are water pumps at the North Texas Water District that Wylie uses for pressure within the area of the intermodal site. The City prefers no lift stations, but will accept them when there are no other reasonable alternatives. ""1""( l` .pM+i n; tp ' '•'.

Measurements were conducted at 4 locations: (1) Devonshire Court (alley) (2) Butler and 1st Street (3) Oak/Cotton (4) Skyview Drive The results reveal that locomotives measured were operating well within Federal Noise Emission Standards. The train whistle was the loudest noise source with the train rumble being significantly less at points measured. With the relocation of the mainline, train traffic out of the SH-78 corridor and the elimination of 10 at- grade rail street intersections along Wylie's main street (and at four other locations), train noise will be dramatically lowered. Residents along the Cottonbelt between Brown and Butler Streets will, however, have an increase in train noise with the relocation of mainline train traffic. This increase will be mitigated to some extent with the construction of the intermodal facility which will reduce the number of trains on the Cottonbelt. Further mitigation could be accomplished with the construction of noise barriers. A summary of the measurements and a detailed analysis of the noise is contained in the Appendix. ; Environmental Site Assessment A Phase I, Environmental Site Assessment, was conducted by the firm of Environmental Managers, Inc. on the City of Wylie Service Center(part of which is needed for the relocation of KCS mainline railroad) and the KCS right-of-way which will become available for the future widening of SH-78 by Texas DOT and for the development of new business fronting on the north side of SH-78. City of Wylie Service Area The survey revealed that the City of Wylie service area has existing and potential shallow soil contamination. Subsurface soil and groundwater contamination are present due to former petroleum storage tank activities. The site is under TNRCC directives for remediation, all of which lead to the requirement for a Phase II Site Assessment to determine the severity of contamination. KCS Property The Phase I assessment did not reveal any current or past violations of environmental laws or regulations on the site, one underground storage tank and numerous piles of trash and debris in the northeastern portion of the property adjacent to an occupied outbuilding. Should the project go forward, an asbestos survey of buildings to be demolished will be required. There appear to be no significant contamination or environmental conditions which would impair the current use of the property. Intermodal Terminal Lighting The nature of intermodal freight shipments is such that the yards must be operated at night. - For the protection and security of yard workers, yard lighting needs to be provided to support the night operations. A minimum illumination level of 2.5 footcandles must be provided throughout the yard (as a comparison, recreational softball fields require 10-15 footcandles). This is usually accomplished by using high-mast lighting (multiple fixtures on 100-foot poles) appropriately spaced throughout the yard. Lighting for the manifest yard and business park will be similar to conventional street lighting provided by single fixtures on 40-foot poles. Lighting for the intermodal yard will be provided for the areas of activity: the parking lots and the ramp area. These areas are more than 2,000 feet away from the nearest residential neighborhoods, except for the residence just south of the existing KCS mainline on the west side of Skyview Drive, which is about 1,200 feet from the yard area. Cutoff shielding will be used on the back side of the high-mast lighting fixtures to reduce the spillover effects of the yard lighting. Hazardous Material Transportation Safety Prevention Prevention of accidental releases of hazardous materials is a primary goal of the Kansas City Southern Railroad. Our professional, highly trained and tested employees aid in meeting this goal. The KCS has strict Operation Rules concerning training, testing, and compliance monitoring and testing practices and procedures. All Trainmen are required to take extensive training and certification in the handling of hazardous materials and in emergency response procedures. In addition, all Locomotive Engineers must undergo specialized training and certification every year. Employees are recertified through specialized hazardous material training every two to three years to keep up with current practice. First rate track and structures are also crucial in preventing accidental releases of hazardous material. The KCS has invested more than one billion dollars in upgrading its infrastructure over the last ten years. Our lines are monitored on a daily basis by certified Track Inspectors, and tested twice yearly. Wayside detectors are installed every eighteen miles along the KCS lines to monitor the condition of the rolling stock. The KCS also has its own private Doppler Weather Radar monitoring system to keep track of weather conditions throughout our system. Modern signal and traffic control systems are used to track and control the train operations on the KCS system. Our computer-aided dispatch system monitors the location, speed, and condition of every train operation on the KCS system. Fail-safe signal systems are employed throughout the KCS system to keep our trains in proper relation to each other. A private radio communications system is used to keep trains in touch with each other and with dispatch. Modern, efficient locomotives and safe rail cars are used on the KCS system. All locomotives and cars are professionally inspected and maintained to strict Federal Railroad Association (FRA) safety standards. The companies that ship their goods on the KCS system are also partners in the prevention of hazardous material incidents. The Chemical Manufacturer's Association and the Association of American Railroads have developed programs such as TRANSCAER, the North American Non-accident Related Release Reduction Initiative, and the AAR-CMA Chemical Safety Task Force to reduce the occurrence of hazardous material spills. A modern freight transfer facility is designed both to reduce the possibility of a hazardous material spill, and to ease containment and cleanup. Yards are constructed with new rail and switches to reduce the possibility of derailment. Yards are laid out for easy maintenance and housekeeping, with access provided for loaders and trucks for easy removal of spills. Paving is provided in key areas to provide a barrier between commodities and the ground. Drainage systems are designed to channel runoff to a central location for ease of containment, cleanup and/or treatment of spills. Performance Railroads, overall, maintain an excellent safety record in transporting potentially hazardous materials. Industry records covering the last ten years show less than one hazardous material release per one thousand rail cars handled. The Kansas City Southern's record for the same period is about half of all railroads together, less than one release per two thousand carloads handled. Not only is the accidental release of hazardous material a rare event, the quantities involved are usually small. In the five-year period from 1991 to 1995, the Kansas City Southern had a total of 108 release events on its entire system. Of these, 105 involved less than 6 gallons of material. Preparedness In the unlikely event of an accidental release of hazardous material, the KCS is prepared to respond immediately. A specially trained KCS Emergency Management Team is currently in place to deal with these incidents. Emergency response resources and cleanup contractors are on notice for rapid response. Internal and external communications are used to coordinate emergency response activities with the KCS Emergency Management Center in Shreveport, Louisiana. A specific emergency plan will be prepared for the Wylie facility in coordination with local agencies. The plan will include on-site containment facilities, emergency access routes, and air pattern modeling of gases or vapors. The Emergency Plan will be tested in conjunction with local agencies prior to the start of proposed operations. The KCS is committed to be a responsible neighbor through community outreach and partnering. We are involved in grade crossing reduction and safety improvement through "Operation Lifesaver." We have been sponsoring training with local public officials at the Association of American Railroads Technical Training center in Pueblo, Colorado since 1991. The KCS Emergency Management Guide involved integration and preplanning with community emergency response plans. The KCS participates in mock drills and emergency response plan tests. The KCS provides rapid information to the public safety first responder through "Operation Respond." KCS Right-Of-Way New Business Frontage Along SH-78 The following before and after exhibits indicate the type of changes the SH-78 corridor through the business district of Wylie will experience when the extra right-of-way becomes available. The additional 50 feet of right-of-way can be used for landscaping, bikeways and in selected areas to provide separate business frontage roads. It may, through creative design, be possible to eliminate some of the existing intersections entirely, improving flow and capacity of SH-78. The remaining 50' of right-of-way between FM544 and Brown Street, plus the wider sections between Jackson and Ballard and Marble and Brown Streets, will provide over 490,000 square feet of developable land with prime business frontage along SH-78. This land, when developed, will provide additional taxable revenue to the City. Several adjacent property owners and businesses have already expressed interest in purchasing the surplus right-of-way. A preliminary appraisal of the right-of-way between FM544 and Brown Street revealed valuations varying from $1.50 per square foot to $5.00 per square foot. SH-78 Widening and Improvement When the KCS Railroad removes its mainline track from a 3.3-mile corridor through Wylie, the right-of- way (a 100' strip with short sections of 200 and 250 feet width) becomes available for use by the Texas Department of Transportation and for business desiring frontage on SH-78. Currently, Texas DOT has approximately 100' of right-of-way through Wylie. Fifty feet of the KCS right-of-way would provide for widening SH-78 to 4 lanes plus turn lanes, and would largely eliminate the need to take right-of-way from existing businesses on the south side of the highway. Elimination of 13 at-grade (mostly skewed) intersections with the railroad will greatly simplify design. slims "e ,,k at )y W tp• ..te „ .r ! yy w lit � �9 ♦ kLE ''. e '•y ' 4-rsr r ear` A4 "sc*` • 4 011 ,. z ' s i J am,j,i ✓ v1 Rye *r jai, e •4 .' ,,, 0. . it. k i ,:{ , � r a e� * li r wf ' J ,, , I t ^a r,4 , y er)14 �.•r . it; ,.,'':. 3w scam h.A F• ; ,, , 1,., , 4 _ �'^¢4, "► . . • -, -i C. : kt 4. r .� ` ••'t''.•44/• ,e! g II i.i;',1,,r``,r± ',- ' r14 ' _ � ' !! m* ,;</ � f SC'rlr" _s d' j y �•..

For the purposes of this study, the results have been combined for the two days. The total number of entering trucks surveyed was 184, and the total number of exiting trucks surveyed was 180. The table below summarizes the findings of the survey. Table 1 Origin/Destination Survey Number % Number % Total % of Entering of Exiting (Entering Entering Trucks Exiting Trucks & Exiting Trucks Trucks Combined) Trucks Crossing I-30/1-635 Jct. 126 68.5% 133 73.9% 71.2% Trucks Crossing I-635/Loop 12 Jct. 51 27.7% 30 16.7% 22.2% Other 7 3.8% 17 9.4% 6.6% The majority of the trucks that enter and leave Zacha Yard cross the I-30/I-635 junction (71.2%). Of those remaining, 22.2% travel on I-635 to/from the junction of Loop 12 (Northwest Highway). and the remaining 6.6% travel on local streets. Travel Time Study Using the test car technique. travel times were determined for two separate routes between Zacha Yard and the proposed Wylie Intermodal facility. As shown on the map in Figure A and in Table 2. the routes were broken down into four different study directions.

(Reverse of#2) For each study direction, two test runs were driven: one during off-peak, and the second during p.m. peak. The results of these test runs indicated that the off-peak and p.m. peak travel times differed by only 1 minute; therefore, this analysis will not differentiate between off-peak and p.m. peak test runs. Calculations for travel speed and mean travel time will be shown for Study Direction #1 only; travel speed and mean travel time were computed for the remaining study directions in the same manner. Study Direction #1 Compute Travel Speed: S = 60D/T where: S = Travel Speed (MPH) D = Length of Study Route (Miles) T = Travel Time (Minutes) Table 3 Study Direction #1 Travel Speeds Test Run Travel Time (Min.)

Study Directions 2 and 4 offer the quickest travel times between Zacha Yard and the proposed Wylie Intermodal, with mean travel times of 28.5 and 25.0, respectively. SH 78 is the primary route for Study Directions 2 and 4. Study Directions 1 and 3 have mean travel times of 45.5 and 37.0, respectively, with a primary route of I-30 and SH 2O5. To accurately compute the increase in travel time that trucks will experience if the intermodal facility is moved from Zacha Yard to Wylie, it is necessary to take into consideration the origin and destination of the trucks currently using Zacha Yard. As concluded in the origin/destination survey, the majority of trucks cross the junction of I-635 and I-30. It can therefore be concluded that legs of the trip between the I-635/I-30 junction and Zacha Yard may be subtracted from the total travel time between Zacha Yard and Wylie Intermodal for Study Directions 1 and 3. Table 15 below summarizes these adjusted travel times. Table 15 Travel Time Adjustment for Trucks Crossing I-635/1-30 Junction, and Using I-30, SH 205 Route Study Direction Legs Original Mean Mean Travel New Travel Removed Travel Time Time Subtracted Time (Minutes) (Minutes) (Minutes) 1 E, F 45.5 12.0 33.5 3 A, B 37.0 6.0 31.0 Similarly, a travel time adjustment must be made for those trucks choosing the SH 78 route from the I-635/1-30 junction. Mean travel time between the Shiloh Road/I-635 junction and Zacha Yard will be subtracted from Study Directions 2 and 4. In addition, mean travel time between the I-635/1-30 junction and the I-635/SH 78 exit will be added to the total travel time. Table 16 below summarizes these adjustments. Table 16 Travel Time Adjustment for Trucks Using SH 78 Route Study Direction Original Shiloh/I-635 I-635/1-30 to I- New Travel Mean Travel to Zacha Yard 635/SH 78 Time Time (Minutes) (Minutes) (Minutes) (Minutes) Subtract Add 2 28.5 2.0 4.0 26.5 4 25.0 2.0 3.0 26.0 It should be noted that for those trucks traveling west on I-635. there is no direct exit to SH 78. Trucks must exit on Northwest Highway. which takes the driver to SH 78. This maneuver adds 12 an additional right turn and an additional traffic signal. In addition. eastbound I-635 cannot be accessed from northbound SH 78. However, the origin and destination survey indicated that no trucks were coming from the south on SH 78; therefore, this inaccessibility should not affect truck traffic to Wylie. One final adjustment that should be considered is that for construction delay. Only one leg experienced delays due to major construction: SH 205 between SH 66 and SH 78. This delay affects Study Direction 1, Leg B (6.5 miles, mean travel speed of 34.5 mph, mean travel time of 11.5 minutes); and Study Direction 3, Leg E (6.5 miles, mean travel speed of 46.0 mph. mean travel time of 8.5 minutes). Upon completion of construction (estimated for 1999), the posted speed limit for trucks will be 60 mph. Assuming that this is the 95th percentile speed, it can be estimated that trucks traveling 60 mph over 6.5 miles will have a mean travel time of 6.5 minutes. This decreases Study Direction 1 total travel time by 5.0 minutes, and Study Direction 3 total travel time by 2.0 minutes, as shown in Table 17 below.

There are currently two tracks through Wylie, one paralleling State Route 78 that is proposed to be abandoned, and one curving west of SR 78, known as the Cottonbelt, which is proposed to become the main route. Existing train traffic is 9 trains per day on the Kansas City Southern (KCS) mainline and 4 trains per day on the Cottonbelt. When the mainline train traffic is relocated to the Cottonbelt, train traffic will drop to 11 trains per day on the combined main track. With the development of an intermodal hub in Wylie, existing train traffic would drop to 7 trains per day. The attached Table 1 contains an estimate of the train trips. Existing noise measurements were taken at four locations in Wylie to assess current train noise conditions and establish distance relationships between noise sources and measurement points. The . measurements also helped determine background noise generated by vehicle traffic on SR 78 or other non-train daytime noise sources. There are currently about 11 at-grade crossing of the railroad paralleling SR 78 through Wylie (the track to be abandoned) and four at-grade crossings on the western track. The attached Table 1 shows existing sound measurements made at four locations,both with and without train noise. These measurements and others made at a railyard in Denver were used to establish the curves shown on Figures 1 and 2. Noise dissipates as it travels through the air and dissipates more quickly if obstructions are encountered, such as trees or buildings. All of the noise levels referenced in this document refer to outdoor noise levels. Using the decibel scale for discussing noise levels, some common rules of thumb for noise levels are: - Human perception of twice as loud= increase of 10 decibels - Twice as much traffic (ie. double noise source) = 3 decibel increase - Double distance from noise source=about 3-5 dB noise decrease(more for vegetated area, less for paved area) A noise source heard at 60 dB is producing ten times as much noise energy and pressure against the eardrum as a 50 dB source,but a person does not perceive the 60 dB source as ten times as loud as the 50 dB source, it is perceived to be twice as loud. Similarly, there is generally twice as much traffic during a rush hour compared to perhaps 8 PM or 9 PM, but the difference in noise will only be about 3 dB. The proposed change in track use will increase the train traffic on the western track, primarily through the Oak/Cotton Belt residential area. The closest homes in this section are within 200 feet of the track, so they currently may experience train whistle noises of up to 85 dB,depending on where and how often the whistle is sounded. Most of the first row of houses adjacent to the track experience a noise level of about 70 dB while a train is passing. Existing Federal noise emissions standards for interstate rail traffic allow noise levels up to 90 dB for moving locomotives, measured at 50 feet from the noise source. Based on standard noise dissipation over distance relationships, existing measurements show that the locomotives measured were operating well within federal noise emission standards. There will be a decrease in noise along SR 78 from the elimination of the adjacent tracks along the roadway. Widening of SR 78 may raise other traffic noise issues which will be dealt with separately by TexDOT. The Harris property on Skyview Drive would most likely see the greatest increase in train noise due to the proximity of the intermodal site, which will include train, truck, and other associated noise sources. Since the noise source of a train whistle is likely the loudest noise source near the neighborhood, any discussion of"average" daily noise levels are likely not relevant. The noise levels of a train whistle cannot be effectively mitigated with a noise barrier or fence of reasonable size and height. An alternate approach to reducing train whistle noise would be to reduce or eliminate at-grade crossings of roadways and tracks. The rumble of the passing locomotive and rail cars can be mitigated by construction of a noise barrier along the tracks. Figures 1 and 2 show the effective noise mitigation from a noise barrier along the tracks that is 12 feet high, for example. The noise reduction is as much as 6 dB for locations nearer the tracks.

Note any changes or additions which need to be made. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES The Planning and Zoning Commission met in a Regular Business Meeting on July 7, 1997, at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers of the Wylie Municipal Complex, located at 2000 Hwy. 78 North, Wylie,Texas 75098. A quorum was present and a notice was posted in the time and manner required by law. COMMISSION MEMBERS PRESENT: Bart Peddicord, Ray Capley, Cecilia Wood, Rich Eckman, Tim Owen and Steve Ahrens. ABSENT: Mark Clark- excused STAFF MEMBERS PRESENT: Mee Phillips-Building Official and Rebecca Rogers- Secretary. SWEAR IN NEW MEMBERS AND ELECT OFFICERS: Ray Capley and Steve Ahrens were sworn in by City Secretary - Susan Shuler. Chairman Peddicord stated that he did not wish to be nominated for any position. Rich Eckman was nominated for Chairman by Steve Ahrens, seconded by Tim Owen. Motion carried, all in favor (6), Richard Eckman, Chairman. Tim Owen was nominated for Vice Chairman by Steve Ahrens, seconded by Cecilia Wood. Motion carried, all in favor(6), Tim Owen, Vice-Chairman. PUBLIC HEARING ITEM NO 1: Hold a Public Hearing and Consider a recommendation to the City Council for a request from Wylie/1997,L.L.C. (John A. Baker,Mgr.)for approval of a zone change from"SF-A", Single Family Attached and "R", Retail District to "SF-3", Single Family District for a 6.520 acre tract of land,located at the southwest corner of West Brown Street and Westgate Way, and further described as the E.C. Davidson Survey, Abstract No. 266, part of Tract 34. Mike Phillips, Building Official, gave an overview of the history of Westgate, Phases I & H. Westgate I zoned as Single Family. Westgate II had some lots that were zoned "2F", Two-Family District and since the developer wanted this to be single family homes in conjunction with Phase I, a "PD", Planned Development District was permitted so that a smaller lot and smaller setbacks could be used instead of having to redevelop the lots. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan states that this area is primarily for single family use. The suggested retail areas would be covered by the intersections of West Brown Street and FM 1378 and by existing retail at the corner of N. Winding Oaks Drive and West Brown Street. Staff recommends the zone change. Chairman Eckman opened the Public Hearing. Pat Atkins, Tipton Engineering for Wylie/1997, L.L.C., was present to speak for the zone change. He feels that a zone change to single family is appropriate for this neighborhood,the surrounding area is currently single family residential. Retail and Single Family Attached are not appropriate for the area. No one else present to speak for or against the zone change request. Chairman Eckman closed the Public Hearing. Discussion followed regarding previous zone change requests in the surrounding area and public hearing notices. Several builders have been consulted regarding this project (Ryland Homes, Granite Homes, etc.). Will try to avoid monotonous housing(same floor plans, etc.) as this is not good for the neighborhood nor the builder. Motion was made by Steve Ahrens, seconded by Cecilia Wood, to recommend approval to City Council for a request from Wylie/1997, L.L.C. for approval of a zone change from"SF-A" Single- Family Attached and "R",Retail District to "SF-3" Single-Family District for a 6.520 acre tract of 1 land,located at the southwest corner of West Brown Street and Westgate Way, and further described as the E.C. Davidson Survey, Abstract No. 266,part of Tract 34. Motion carried, all in favor(6). Zone change approved. ACTION ITEMS • ITEM NO. 1: Consider approval of the Minutes from the June 16, 1997 Regular Business Meeting. Motion made by Steve Ahrens, seconded by Bart Peddicord,to approve the minutes as submitted. Motion carried, all in favor(6). ITEM NO. 2: Discuss and Consider a recommendation for approval of a Preliminary Plat for Westgate Phase III submitted by Wylie/1997,L.L.C.,located at the southwest corner of West Brown Street (FM3412) and Westgate Way, and further described as the E.C. Davidson Survey, Abstract No. 266,part of Tract 34. Mike Phillips stated this was actually Westgate Phase III and IV(not 3-1 and 3-2). The water easement for North Texas Municipal Water District will have to be approved before Final Plat approval. Drainage concerns on Lots 16, 17 & 18,Block A in Phase IV will also have to be addressed before the Final Plat is approved. The Hogan Corporation will be evaluating this concern. Discussion followed. Mr. Pat Atkins of Tipton Engineering stated that he has a letter of approval from the North Texas Municipal Water District which he would turn in to Staff. Water and sewer line separation was discussed. Motion was made by Steve Ahrens, seconded by Tim Owen, to approve the Preliminary Plat for Westgate Phase III submitted by Wylie/1997,L.L.C. Motion carried, all in favor (6). DISCUSSION ITEM 1) Cecilia Wood would like to have the crime rates in various areas of the City checked, along with the cost of single family housing and the associated taxes. 2)Delivery of packets was discussed. Commission members would like to receive the packets two days earlier(Wednesday instead of Friday)but due to the deadlines and the lack of staff, it is almost impossible to be able to send anything out that wouldn't have changed by Friday (deadline for submittals) and would be a waste of time and paper. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION None ADJOURNMENT A motion was made to adjourn by Cecilia Wood, seconded by Tim Owen. Motion carried, all in favor(6). Respectfully submitted, Richard Eckman, Chairman Rebecca Rogers, Secretary 2 r � Planning & Zoning Commission #2 Action Item Re: Recommendation for Approval for Construction of Westgate Phase 3 Final Plat August 18, 1997 Issue Discuss and consider a request for approval of a Final Plat (Approved for Construction) for the Westgate Phase III Subdivision, submitted by Wylie/1997, L.L.C. This property is located at the juncture of Brown Street and Westgate Way just west of Westgate Phase I and more specifically described as being an 18.3080 acre tract of land situated in the E.C. Davidson Survey, Abstract No. 266. Background Owner/Developer Wylie/1997, L.L.C., Dallas, Texas, is proposing a housing development consisting of 113 lots (total) to be constructed on 30.991 acres of land. The Preliminary Plat of Westgate Phase III consists of two phases. The Final Plat under consideration for Phase III consists of 66 lots on 18.3080 acres. On July 7, 1997, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the Westgate Phase III Preliminary Plat. The City Council approved the same Preliminary Plat at their meeting on July 22, 1997. If the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends for approval tonight, August 18, 1997, and if City Council approves on August 26th, the developer will then be allowed to begin construction of the public facilities to be dedicated to the City. A portion of this subdivision contains an alley within a 60' wide North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) easement. The City is imposing a stipulation on the developer that he must submit a letter from NTMWD stating that they have reviewed and approved the construction plans and Final Plat. Financial Considerations Before a Final Plat can be placed on the City Council agenda for "Approved for Construction" the Final Plat Fee, Impact Fees and the Developmental Inspection Fee must be paid. The Final Plat Fee is $348.00. Impact Fees are $46,200 for water and $93,192 for sewer for a total of$139,392. The Developmental Inspection Fee (1% of the estimated cost of improvements intended for dedication to the City) is being calculated. Wylie/1997, L.L.C. has submitted a check for the Final Plat Fee, and the Impact Fees and Developmental Inspection Fee will be paid prior to being placed on the City Council Agenda. Before final "Acceptance" of the public utilities and improvements of the Westgate Phase Ill subdivision, the Perimeter Street Fees and Park Land Dedication Fees must be paid, and a one year Maintenance Bond must be posted. Legal Considerations The City of Wylie's Subdivision Regulations establishes the Preliminary Plat approval process. It must be submitted and reviewed by Staff to ensure that sufficient information exists, and is then recommended for approval by the Engineer. The Preliminary Plat and Plat Application are then submitted at least 15 consecutive days before the meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission for its study and recommendation. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall endeavor to act on the Preliminary Plat within 30 days from the date the plat was filed with each body for their approval. The Preliminary Plat shall then be submitted to the City Council for final action. After approval of the Preliminary Plat by the City Council, the subdivider may then prepare a Final Plat of all or a portion of the land included in the Preliminary Plat. The Final Plat will then be submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commission for consideration of final recommendations. Upon final action by the Planning and Zoning Commission on any Final Plat, the same shall be referred to the City Council for Final Plat approval. Upon approval action of the City Council, the Mayor is authorized to sign the signature block "Approved for Construction." At this time, the developer shall pay his required Developmental Inspection Fees and begin construction of the public facilities to be dedicated to the City. These construction areas include public streets, alleys, water lines, sewer lines, storm drainage lines, channels and all associated construction to be dedicated to the City. The City Council's vote that the Final Plat as presented is approved for construction indicates that at that point in time, no known conditions exist which will require changes from the approved Final Plat. Inspections will be made throughout the construction of the infrastructure facilities which are intended for dedication to the City. After completion of the "dedicated improvements", the developer shall apply to the City Council for acceptance of the Final Plat, which includes dedications and easements. City Staff shall indicate to the City Council that all public improvements have been completed in accordance with the requirements of the City of Wylie. Only then is the Mayor authorized to sign the signature block "Accepted." The Final Plat shall then be filed with the appropriate County, and issuance of building permits may begin. Building Permits may only be issued on a completed development or within a completed, approved phase. Staff Recommendations City Staff and Consulting Engineer, Greg MacLean, have reviewed this Plat and it meets all City of Wylie Subdivision Regulation requirements. Staff recommends approval for construction for the Westgate, Phase Ill Subdivision Final Plat.

ABSENT: Mark Clark- excused STAFF MEMBERS PRESENT:Mike Phillips-Building Official and Rebecca Rogers- Secretary. SWEAR IN NEW MEMBERS AND ELECT OFFICERS: Ray Capley and Steve Ahrens were sworn in by City Secretary - Susan Shuler. Chairman Peddicord stated that he did not wish to be nominated for any position. Rich Eckman was nominated for Chairman by Steve Ahrens, seconded by Tim Owen. Motion carried, all in favor (6), Richard Eckman, Chairman.

PUBLIC HEARING ITEM NO 1: Hold a Public Hearing and Consider a recommendation to the City Council for a request from Wylie/1997,L.L.C. (John A.Baker,Mgr.)for approval of a zone change from"SF-A", Single Family Attached and "R", Retail District to "SF-3", Single Family District for a 6.520 acre tract of land,located at the southwest corner of West Brown Street and Westgate Way, and further described as the E.C. Davidson Survey,Abstract No. 266,part of Tract 34. Mike Phillips, Building Official, gave an overview of the history of Westgate, Phases I & II. Westgate I zoned as Single Family. Westgate II had some lots that were zoned "2F", Two-Family District and since the developer wanted this to be single family homes in conjunction with Phase I, a "PD", Planned Development District was permitted so that a smaller lot and smaller setbacks could be used instead of having to redevelop the lots. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan states that this area is primarily for single family use. The suggested retail areas would be covered by the intersections of West Brown Street and FM 1378 and by existing retail at the corner of N. Winding Oaks Drive and West Brown Street. Staff recommends the zone change. Chairman Eckman opened the Public Hearing. Pat Atkins, Tipton Engineering for Wylie/1997, L.L.C., was present to speak for the zone change. He feels that a zone change to single family is appropriate for this neighborhood,the surrounding area is currently single family residential. Retail and Single Family Attached are not appropriate for the area. No one else present to speak for or against the zone change request. Chairman Eckman closed the Public Hearing. Discussion followed regarding previous zone change requests in the surrounding area and public hearing notices. Several builders have been consulted regarding this project(Ryland Homes, Granite Homes, etc.). Will try to avoid monotonous housing(same floor plans, etc.) as this is not good for the neighborhood nor the builder. Motion was made by Steve Ahrens, seconded by Cecilia Wood, to recommend approval to City Council for a request from Wylie/1997,L.L.C. for approval of a zone change from"SF-A" Single- Family Attached and"R", Retail District to "SF-3" Single-Family District for a 6.520 acre tract of 1 land,located at the southwest corner of West Brown Street and Westgate Way, and further described as the E.C. Davidson Survey, Abstract No. 266,part of Tract 34. Motion carried, all in favor(6). Zone change approved. ACTION ITEMS ITEM NO. 1: Consider approval of the Minutes from the June 16, 1997 Regular Business Meeting. Motion made by Steve Ahrens, seconded by Bart Peddicord,to approve the minutes as submitted. Motion carried, all in favor(6). ITEM NO. 2: Discuss and Consider a recommendation for approval of a Preliminary Plat for Westgate Phase III submitted by Wylie/1997,L.L.C.,located at the southwest corner of West Brown Street(FM3412)and Westgate Way, and further described as the E.C. Davidson Survey, Abstract No. 266,part of Tract 34. Mike Phillips stated this was actually Westgate Phase III and IV(not 3-1 and 3-2). The water easement for North Texas Municipal Water District will have to be approved before Final Plat approval. Drainage concerns on Lots 16, 17 & 18,Block A in Phase IV will also have to be addressed before the Final Plat is approved. The Hogan Corporation will be evaluating this concern. Discussion followed. Mr. Pat Atkins of Tipton Engineering stated that he has a letter of approval from the North Texas Municipal Water District which he would turn in to Staff. Water and sewer line separation was discussed. Motion was made by Steve Ahrens, seconded by Tim Owen, to approve the Preliminary Plat for Westgate Phase III submitted by Wylie/1997,L.L.C. Motion carried, all in favor (6). DISCUSSION ITEM 1) Cecilia Wood would like to have the crime rates in various areas of the City checked, along with the cost of single family housing and the associated taxes. 2)Delivery of packets was discussed. Commission members would like to receive the packets two days earlier(Wednesday instead of Friday)but due to the deadlines and the lack of staff, it is almost impossible to be able to send anything out that wouldn't have changed by Friday (deadline for submittals) and would be a waste of time and paper. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION None ADJOURNMENT A motion was made to adjourn by Cecilia Wood, seconded by Tim Owen. Motion carried, all in favor(6). Respectfully submitted, Richard Eckman, Chairman Rebecca Rogers, Secretary 2 Planning & Zoning Commission #2 Action Item Re: Recommendation for Approval for Construction of Westgate Phase 3 Final Plat August 18, 1997 Issue Discuss and consider a request for approval of a Final Plat (Approved for Construction) for the Westgate Phase III Subdivision, submitted by Wylie/1997, L.L.C. This property is located at the juncture of Brown Street and Westgate Way just west of Westgate Phase I and more specifically described as being an 18.3080 acre tract of land situated in the E.C. Davidson Survey, Abstract No. 266. Background Owner/Developer Wylie/1997, L.L.C., Dallas, Texas, is proposing a housing development consisting of 113 lots (total) to be constructed on 30.991 acres of land. The Preliminary Plat of Westgate Phase III consists of two phases. The Final Plat under consideration for Phase III consists of 66 lots on 18.3080 acres. On July 7, 1997, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the Westgate Phase III Preliminary Plat. The City Council approved the same Preliminary Plat at their meeting on July 22, 1997. If the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends for approval tonight, August 18, 1997, and if City Council approves on August 26th, the developer will then be allowed to begin construction of the public facilities to be dedicated to the City. A portion of this subdivision contains an alley within a 60' wide North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) easement. The City is imposing a stipulation on the developer that he must submit a letter from NTMWD stating that they have reviewed and approved the construction plans and Final Plat. Financial Considerations Before a Final Plat can be placed on the City Council agenda for "Approved for Construction" the Final Plat Fee, Impact Fees and the Developmental Inspection Fee must be paid. The Final Plat Fee is $348.00. Impact Fees are $46,200 for water and $93,192 for sewer for a total of$139,392. The Developmental Inspection Fee (1% of the estimated cost of improvements intended for dedication to the City) is being calculated. Wylie/1997, L.L.C. has submitted a check for the Final Plat Fee, and the Impact Fees and Developmental Inspection Fee will be paid prior to being placed on the City Council Agenda. Before final "Acceptance" of the public utilities and improvements of the Westgate Phase III subdivision, the Perimeter Street Fees and Park Land Dedication Fees must be paid, and a one year Maintenance Bond must be posted. Legal Considerations The City of Wylie's Subdivision Regulations establishes the Preliminary Plat approval process. It must be submitted and reviewed by Staff to ensure that sufficient information exists, and is then recommended for approval by the Engineer. The Preliminary Plat and Plat Application are then submitted at least 15 consecutive days before the meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission for its study and recommendation. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall endeavor to act on the Preliminary Plat within 30 days from the date the plat was filed with each body for their approval. The Preliminary Plat shall then be submitted to the City Council for final action. After approval of the Preliminary Plat by the City Council, the subdivider may then prepare a Final Plat of all or a portion of the land included in the Preliminary Plat. The Final Plat will then be submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commission for consideration of final recommendations. Upon final action by the Planning and Zoning Commission on any Final Plat, the same shall be referred to the City Council for Final Plat approval. Upon approval action of the City Council, the Mayor is authorized to sign the signature block "Approved for Construction." At this time, the developer shall pay his required Developmental Inspection Fees and begin construction of the public facilities to be dedicated to the City. These construction areas include public streets, alleys, water lines, sewer lines, storm drainage lines, channels and all associated construction to be dedicated to the City. The City Council's vote that the Final Plat as presented is approved for construction indicates that at that point in time, no known conditions exist which will require changes from the approved Final Plat. Inspections will be made throughout the construction of the infrastructure facilities which are intended for dedication to the City. After completion of the "dedicated improvements", the developer shall apply to the City Council for acceptance of the Final Plat, which includes dedications and easements. City Staff shall indicate to the City Council that all public improvements have been completed in accordance with the requirements of the City of Wylie. Only then is the Mayor authorized to sign the signature block "Accepted." The Final Plat shall then be filed with the appropriate County, and issuance of building permits may begin. Building Permits may only be issued on a completed development or within a completed, approved phase. Staff Recommendations City Staff and Consulting Engineer, Greg MacLean, have reviewed this Plat and it meets all City of Wylie Subdivision Regulation requirements. Staff recommends approval for construction for the Westgate, Phase III Subdivision Final Plat.

The company has recently completed transportation studies that describe rail operations and vehicle trips created by the location of the Intermodal/manifest facility. Virtually all of the specific questions that the company was unable to respond can now be answered during this detailed presentation. The City Council and other Boards and Commissions will be notified of this meeting. This presentation does not formally commence the zone change request process. The presentation is instead, an opportunity to detail the proposal directly to the Planning and Zoning Commission members in a formal meeting. KCS has indicated that it will request of the city to be provided specific incentives. These would include incentives directly relating to the development of the business park. A memorandum was drafted following a meeting I had with Mr. Mike Haverty, President of KCS Railway Company. It is provided to you as an attachment. As the Planning and Zoning Commission members begin to prepare to formally consider the zone change request in September, the information in the memorandum highlighting the discussion's with Mr. Haverty will hopefully provide some beneficial information. Staff will be preparing a detailed time line that identifies critical dates for consideration of the zone change request that will fulfill all public hearing notification requirements as well as providing as much time as is necessary for a thorough review. If you have questions, comments or suggestions, please call me or Mindy Manson. Have a nice weekend. Draft TO: City Council FROM: Mike Collins SUBJECT: KCS Railroad Development Proposal DATE: July 15, 1997 I met with Mike Haverty and Dick Holdaway individually on July 14, 1997 at the KCS Headquarters in Kansas City. The purpose of the meeting was to have a very candid discussion regarding the current status of the proposal and the submittal of a formal zone change request. The discussions were candid, productive and meaningful. Without making any subjective judgements regarding the information conveyed by Mr. Haverty and Mr. Holdaway, the following comments represent some conclusions that could be drawn from the statements made by KCS officials. - The decision regarding the formal approval of the zone change request must be made based on a thorough understanding of at least two primary issues. The first being how KCS's rail operations within the City would be affected both with and without the development of the Intermodal/Manifest Facility in Wylie. The second issue would be what kind impact would the presence of the Intermodal/Manifest Facility have on the industrial and commercial development within the 500 acres, based on the City's Comprehensive Land Use Plan. - If the Intermodal/Manifest Facility is constructed in Wylie, a reduction in the total number of trains operating through the city would be experienced. - Consistent with the City's Comprehensive Land use Plan, a large portion of the land purchased by KCS would be developed as industrial property. - KCS will maintain the integrity of its statement that if the City of Wylie does not support the Intermodal/Manifest Facility and Business Park proposal then it will not develop the project in Wylie. - The current rail operations utilizing both the S.H. 78 Mainline and the Cottonbelt will remain the same. The rail traffic currently operating on the S.H. 78 Mainline will not be shifted to the Cottonbelt and the tracks will not be removed from S.H. 78. The result of the shift could have been the abandonment of the rail right-of-way and its subsequent use for the S.H. 78 widening as well as the elimination of 16 existing rail crossings, from 22 to 6. This number was not intended to represent the existing crossings that would remain on the Cottonbelt rail line. - The risk of a hazardous materials spill will not increase above the current level. If a reduction in the number of trains is realized, and if the number of lifts from rail to truck of containers with hazardous materials is minimal, then there would be a decreasein the probability of a spill when compared to the current level of risk. Since the proposal will be submitted as Planned Development (PD) Zone Change Request, the city will have opportunity for Land Use control. - KCS will provide the City control over the PD zoned property to determine the specific types of businesses appropriate for the business park, the development standards for all construction, and other relevant factors influencing the quantity and quality of business in the park. The only stipulation by KCS is that the businesses be rail served. - The Intermodal Facility will not be constructed unless S.H. 78 is widened. Staff will, if requested by the City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission, make a recommendation on the proposal. The recommendation will be an objective evaluation of the KCSs rail operations with and without the Intermodal/Manifest Facility and the development patterns of the city consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The evaluation would contain an analysis of the following key issues: Identification of industrial development areas contained in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. - The overall economic development potential that the proposal represents. - Comparison of land use controls under standard or straight zoning classification versus the controls available through a PD zoning classification. - Identification of current rail operations, including number of existing rail crossings and potential for future grade separations, number of trains per day, percentage of rail cars carrying hazardous materials, percentage of hazardous materials transported intermodal, meaning the container will be shifted between rail and truck. - Current status of funding for S.H. 78 and the potential to secure future funding. - Traffic Analysis that identifies the actual number of trucks as a percentage of all vehicle trips throughout city and that are directly attributed to the Intermodal/Manifest Facility. August 15, 1997 INSIGHT RESEARCH CORPOR A T ION DRAFT 9441 LBJ Freeway Suite 618,LB 20 Mr. Sam Satterwhite Dallas,Texas 75243 Executive Director Wylie Economic Development Corp. P. O. Box 1467 Wylie, TX 75098 SUBJECT: Kansas City Southern (KCS) Intermodal Facility and Related Industrial Development -Wylie, Texas Dear Mr. Satterwhite: Insight Research Corporation has completed an economic impact analysis which examines the economic and tax impacts of a Kansas City Southern Intermodal facility and related industrial development to be located in the City of Wylie, Texas. This letter transmits findings as these actions affect the City of Wylie, the State of Texas and other taxing jurisdictions. BACKGROUND KCS is requesting rezoning of approximately 550 acres, which they now own, located on both sides of its tracks between Spring Creek Parkway and Skyview Drive. Proposed development plans envision moving the intermodal activities from KCS's existing Zacha yard in Garland to the more flexible location for business expansion in Wylie. PROJECT DESCRIPTION - KCS INTERMODAL FACILITY A planned development of three phases is proposed which will include construction of new tracks, removal of 3.3 miles of main railroad line from the State Highway 78 corridor, and the development of a 200-acre industrial park consistent with KCS transport and shipping capacity. Plans for the manifest facility for commercial freight are to be operational in 1998. The intermodal yard is tentatively scheduled to open in 2003 with a capacity of 150,000 lifts per year. The facility is to be designed to accommodate growth to 250,000 lifts per year. (214)238-8838 • FAX(214)238-0588 Phase One - As Phase One, the three track manifest yard is proposed in 1998, relocating 30 employees from its Zacha facilities in Garland to the Wylie site. This yard would have an annual payroll of $1.7 million and require a capital investment of $7.5 million in land and facilities. Phase Two Expansion - The intermodal facility would be relocated to Wylie in 2003 with an operating capacity expected to be 150,000 lifts annually. This would increase employment by 50 persons, bringing the annual payroll to $4.6 million. The capital investment for this phase of expansion of the intermodal facility is expected to be $10 million. Phase Three Expansion - By 2006, further incremental expansion of the intermodal facility will provide employment for another 20 persons, adding $1.1 million to the annual payroll. Lift capacity would increase to 200,000 annually requiring an additional $18.5 million in capital investments. The KCS intermodal facility, at full development in 2006, will have a total capital investment of $36 million with ad valorem value as set by the State of Texas under the rail corridor law, and provide employment for about 100 persons. The KCS annual payroll at full facility development is expected to be almost $5.7 million. PRELIMINARY EVALUATION OF RELATED INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT The economic, tax and employment impacts of a related industrial development such as that expected in the adjacent industrial park have also been examined. Driven by the manifest yard service, warehouse space totaling 50,000 sf annually is expected to be added in each of the first five years of the project (1999 - 2003) to a total of 250,000 sf. Each of these warehouses is assumed to occupy six acres at a total capital investment of about $4 million, with 20 employees and annual payrolls of $560,000. The total capital investment of these five warehouses would be $20 million. Driven by the new availability of intermodal service, an additional 100,000 sf of warehouse space will be added in each of the next three years. These three warehouses will each occupy 12 acres, employ 40 people with a payroll of $1.1 million, and require capital investment of $8 million. The combined capital investment for these three facilities will be $24 million. Under these assumptions, a total of 550,000 sf of new warehouse/distribution facilities are expected by the year 2006, with total new employment of 220 as full-time equivalent positions, and an annual payroll of$6.1 million.

Insight Research Corp., 9441 LBJ Fwy, Ste 618, LB 20, Dallas,TX 75243 (972)238-8838 Page 2 FINDINGS Economic Impact - Cumulative 1997 through 2006 The economic impact of construction and operation of the facilities, expanded as proposed between 1997 and 2006, will be $314 million in private development. This impact is widely experienced and driven by all areas of purchasing, employment and operating functions. These impacts result from the following activities at the site: Manifest and Intermodal $164 Million Warehouse Distribution Facilities $150 Million Total $314 Million Employment Impact- Cumulative 1997 through 2006 This private taxable development will add 4,562 worker/years* to the regional economy between 1997 and 2006 including both construction and operating activities. The following worker/years are also associated with each potential phase. For this level of analysis, one job for one year equals one worker/year. Manifest and Intermodal 2,033 Warehouse Distribution Facilities 2,528 Total 4,562 Tax Impacts - Cumulative 1997 through 2006 Tax advantages expected from activity over the next decade are as shown below, with direct and indirect taxes as generated by the new development and staffing yielding more than $15 million in cumulative tax revenues to these jurisdictions from 1997 through 2006: Copyright 1997.

Detailed assumptions used for these analyses are provided in Section 5. The types of impact examined in this report are defined as follows: 1. Economic Impact. Economic impact is the benefit to the general economy of the entire Dallas PMSA, shown as a multiplier and generally referred to as the "economic ripple effect." This calculation uses U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis RIMS input-output multipliers specific to the Dallas PMSA. 2. Direct and Indirect Employment. Direct employment refers to combined payrolls of the development, while indirect employment is the employment that is generated by the purchases of goods and services by the development and its employees. 3. Tax Impact. Tax impact is the resulting benefit to the state and local jurisdictions as a result of the direct and indirect employment and spending of the proposed development. Copyright 1997. Insight Research Corp.,9441 LBJ Fwy, Ste 618, LB 20, Dallas,TX 75243 (972)238-8838 Page 4 LIMITATIONS OF THE ASSUMPTIONS • Total economic impact of the development extends beyond the Wylie area, as some purchases are made outside the region. • Employment of any part-time workers has been reduced to "full time equivalent" positions (FTE) using a standard workweek and benefits. • Models use a simplified base line approach, with no property value or tax increases, no depreciation, or CPI increases assumed. The base line approach provides a conservative economic and tax view of impact and the most accurate interpretation of employment impact. • Tax impact does not include federal income tax on the activities of the business, which are determined as a tax on annual net profits or book values. No tax deferrals such as incentives or abatements are included in these calculations. Flexible econometric models are now in place which may be modified at your request as you evaluate development alternatives. Thank you for the opportunity to be of service.
