To: Mike Sferra, Public Services Director
How deep was the water when these ponds were new? From what you said this morning about
10 years of silt containment being equivalent to approximately 6,000 cubic yards of silt, I can't
imagine these ponds originally being very deep. i.e., 10— 12 feet. I'm curious because some of
the public might ask if these can be turned into recreational boating and fishing amenities.
There was no data kept on the depth for the permanent water pool. Based on the Ac. Ft. of
sediment storage and the surface area 1 came up with an average depth.
Site 4, RC, average depth was 3.8'. The deepest was 12.0'in the channel. Looking at the cross
section when it was constructed, I estimate the depth at 5.5'for the majority of the lake.
Site 5, RC, average depth was 4.2'. The deepest was 8.0'in the channel. Looking at the cross
section when it was constructed, I estimate the depth at 6.2'for the majority of the lake.
Site 7, RC, average depth was 3.4'. The deepest was 6.1'in the channel. Looking at the cross
section when it was constructed, I estimate the depth at 4.8'for the majority of the lake.
With the current depths of the lakes you would not want to allow any motorized boats. Paddle
boats, canoes, etc. would be acceptable. Even if you added another 4.0'of depth, the front face
of the dam and the shoreline would have to be protected from wave erosion caused by motor
boats.
A developer is dedicating approximately 43 acres of parkland to the City of Wylie, and this
includes the southern portion of Muddy Creek Reservoir—the dam, spillway area, containment
area,and area below the dam. Since we will be the property owners,we'll need to know the
applicable easement restrictions,maintenance of certain areas,mowing,erosion control,
inspections,record keeping, safety,required signage,etc. Can you forward us information about
that? Also,would the city be allowed to use the water behind the dam for irrigation purposes?
In other words, could we pump water out of the containment area?
The easement restrictions is you can do anything within the easement as long as it does not
interfere with the operations of the structure. You could put a concrete path on the dam or in
front of the dam. Any amenities would have to meet the ADA requirements. The grass cover
would have to be maintained. As far as the maintenance, Collin County Commissioners Court
has that responsibility. They are going to do the minimum. A city, owner, etc. can maintain the
dams as long as no damage is caused.
Helping People Help the Land
An Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer
Any disturbance in the spillway needs to be kept to a minimum. If and when the earthen spillway
functions anything that alters the water flow can potentially cause failure. Essentially any
traffic, both pedestrian and vehicle, on the dam and spillway needs to be kept at a minimum. The
dam you are referring to is very tall and steep. A person could very easily fall down dam and
become injured As far as the City of Wylie's liability would have to be determined by an
attorney. You can pretty much do as you wish as long as it does not interfere with the operations
of the structure. Any changes within the easement need the approval of the Collin County Soil
and Water Conservation District.
Using water out of the lake or outfall of the lake is controlled by the State of Texas. You can use
surface water in Texas for livestock and domestic use only without a permit. All other uses
require a permit from the TCEQ. Since that water goes into Lake Hubbard, I imagine that the
city of Dallas would object. I really don't know for Hubbard. I know anything that goes into
Lake Lavon is controlled by the North Texas Municipal Water District. They object to any water
use without some mitigation. Such as drilling a well and replacing what is removed plus
additional amounts.
Do you have any contacts in the City of McKinney that we could contact regarding their pond
rehabilitation project? I would like to ask them why they are rehabilitating the ponds,if it was in
response from public concern, safety-related issue, or developing an amenity for future use. I
would also like to know the scope and cost of their project.
The City of McKinney incorporated their lakes in their Storm Water Maintenance Plan.
Essentially the city saw the lakes as a benefit. With the lakes being developed and taken out of
agriculture, and they are getting old, they wanted to do what was necessary to ensure their
safety, and extend their useful life.
The person to contact is Michael Hebert, Assistant City Engineer. (972) 547-7472. Email is
mhebert car mckinnevtexas.org; he is easier to reach by email.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you need additional information.

Department: WEDC (City Secretary's Use Only)
Prepared By: Sam Satterwhite Account Code:
Date Prepared: 1-17-07 Budgeted Amount:
Exhibits: 2
Subject
Consider and act upon the proposed parkland dedication in the Conceptual Plan for the Planned
Development-Premier South Business Park. Presentation will be made by Sam Satterwhite of the Wylie
Economic Development Corporation.
Recommendation
Motion to recommend or deny the parkland dedication of 5.959 acres from the Wylie Economic Development
Corporation.
Discussion
In 2005,the Wylie Economic Development Corporation(WEDC)purchased 25 acres to be developed as a well-
ordered business park. To be named Premier South Business Park, the site is located adjacent and south of
Holland Hitch with frontage on Martinez Lane. The WEDC will soon be platting Premier South and breaking
ground on its first project — a 20,050 square foot facility being developed by JTM Technologies. As well, the
WEDC, in partnership with the City of Wylie, will begin improving Martinez Lane from a 24-foot asphalt
design to 36-foot concrete street with curb and gutters(a$500,000 project).
As Premier South is platted, the WEDC will be subject to a $25,000 parkland dedication fee. The WEDC is
seeking relief from that fee based upon the dedication of open space to the Department of Parks and Recreation.
While the WEDC would prefer for the fees to be waived based upon the WEDC's status as a governmental
entity and component unit of the City of Wylie, there is no policy in place to allow such a waiver. Therefore,
the only option available is to dedicate property with a value equal to or greater than that of the dedication fee.
The only flaw in this approach is that the property the WEDC is attempting to dedicate is not on the trail system
master plan. However, the WEDC will argue that the site could connect adjacent neighborhoods to existing
City of Wylie property which will become parkland.
The open space in question is 5.959 acres and located at the easternmost portion of Premier South as shown on
the attached aerial. A more detailed version is provided as exhibit A. Bordered by a creek to the west and
Westwind Meadows to the east,the site almost entirely in the floodplain, save and except±1.3 acres adjacent to

The attached aerial depicts two City of Wylie properties to the south which are slated for an open space use in
the future. The existing wastewater treatment facility, located on 6.8 acres, is scheduled to be closed in the next
5 — 10 years per the City Engineer. Based upon its existing wastewater use, the future use will most likely be
open space. Further to the south is 39.8 acres owned by the City of Wylie. Previously the Alanis landfill, the
only allowable use of this site will be a park, as anticipated by the City of Wylie Parks Department. The
missing piece to this proposed open space is the property due north of the City 6.8 acres. Being that this piece
is predominantly in the floodplain, a future link to the WEDC 5.9 acres is not unimaginable.
The WEDC purchased Premier South for $639,000. The only comparative sale of floodplain property
identifiable to the WEDC was 3.2 acres purchased by Bayco near Sanden Boulevard. The 3.2 acres was
purchased for $45,000, or $0.323 per square foot. Translated to the 5.959 acres, the WEDC sight could have an
arguable value of$83,798.
The WEDC appreciates your consideration of this issue.

ALAN IS DOG PARK
The former landfill site on Alanis has been successfully brought to closure with
the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Staff has considered
redeveloping a portion of this 40 acre +/- site with a two one acre +/- dog parks,
one located in the northwest area of the site and one located in the southeast
area of the site. Minimal development is permitted at the site per TCEQ
regulations, and a dog park would have minimal impact to the site. The
remaining acreage would be developed in the future. The dog park would satisfy
a growing citizen demand for this type of facility in the area. Improvements
would include two parking lots, sidewalks, two fenced areas to allow for usage
and maintenance rotation, water supply, landscaping, irrigation, signage, picnic
tables and benches.

DISC GOLF COURSE
The City of Wylie Parks and Recreation Board has suggested that the City
establish a disc golf course within the City for the use of residents. A site has not
been selected, but research reveals that this is a growing sport, and enthusiasts
enjoy wooded areas along creeks, open space adjacent to trails or along existing
utility easements. Such locations can be found in the Bozman Farms and
Birmingham Farms developments as well as nearby Army Corps of Engineers
land. The disc golf course would satisfy a growing citizen demand for this type of
facility in the area. Improvements would include minor site preparation with the
installation of goals, signage, benches, and possible connections to nearby trails.

SAGE CREEK NORTH IMPROVEMENTS
Sage Creek North Park is a 4.2 acre site located on Riverway Lane in the Sage
Creek North subdivision. During FY 03-04, the City budgeted $85,000 in
parkland dedication funds to develop the site with grading, concrete trail, a
playground structure, and seating areas. The park is located adjacent to a creek,
and its accessibility is limited by terrain along its eastern edge. Installation of a
pedestrian bridge in this direction would allow residents living to the east of park
to have greater accessibility. Installation of a second pedestrian bridge would
provide a needed connection to a future nature trail towards the south. This
project would include site preparation and grading, landscaping, irrigation,
extension of concrete walking trails, picnic pavilion, picnic tables, benches,
drinking fountain, and installation of two pedestrian bridges. The City of Wylie
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan lists trails, picnic
shelters/pavilions, benches, seating areas, and development of open spaces as
among the top ten high priorities. Potential funding options include using the
value of this dedicated parkland site as a match with Collin County grants
available over the next five years.

DODD PARK
This project would provide improvements to the 5.3 acre park site adjacent to
Dodd Elementary School. After improvements were made to the parkland
adjacent to Birmingham Elementary School, staff was contacted by WISD with a
request to make similar improvements at the Dodd Park location. Improvements
would include site preparation and grading, landscaping, irrigation, eight-foot
wide concrete walking trail, benches, water fountain(s), signage, etc. The City of
Wylie Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan lists trails, benches,
seating areas, and development of open spaces as among the top ten high
priorities. Potential funding options include using the value of this dedicated
parkland site as a match with Collin County grants available over the next five
years. Also, the WISD may participate as a grant application partner for
development of this site.

OLDE CITY PARK IMPROVEMENTS
Olde City Park is a 2 acre park located at the intersection of Ballard and State
Highway 78. When the highway project is finished, and if acquisition of adjacent
properties is successful, it would be desirable to improve the existing park site.
Improvements would include site preparation, grading, underground drainage
improvements, installation of a concrete parking lot, landscaping, irrigation, six-
foot wide concrete walking trail, placement of the existing overhead wiring into
underground conduits, picnic pavilion, tot lot playground, gazebo, benches, picnic
tables, water fountain, etc. The City of Wylie Parks, Recreation and Open

TWIN LAKES PARK
in 1989, Phase 1 of the Twin Lakes subdivision dedicated 6.7 acres of parkland to
the City of Wylie. Except for a lift station already installed in the parkland, the
site remains undeveloped. The lift station will be abandoned and demolished at
some point in the future when a gravity line is installed from the current lift station
site to the new wastewater treatment plant located on Pleasant Valley. The
existing Twin Lakes park site has limited accessibility, but accessibility will be
improved with the completion of the Southbrook Phase II subdivision which is
located to the south of the existing park site. Southbrook Phase I is currently
under construction. Improvements would include site preparation and grading,
eight-foot wide concrete walking trail, benches, picnic tables, signage, etc. The
City of Wylie Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan lists trails, picnic

COMMUNITY PARK FIELD REHABILITATION
Community Park is a 43 acre facility containing six lighted soccer fields, four
lighted baseball/softball fields, and other park amenities. The existing irrigation
system for the baseball/softball fields is nearly 20 years old and is reaching the
end of its economically feasible life. Also, drainage for the infields needs
improvement. This project would include replacement of the existing outfield
irrigation system and the addition of an infield irrigation system for one field only,
regrading of the existing infield, and installation of sod in the infield.

COMMUNITY PARK CONCRETE TRAIL
The existing .85 mile trail at Community Park is constructed with asphalt. The
trail requires annual maintenance to repair cracks caused by the movement of
the expansive soils. Trails in other developed parks (except Valentine Park)
meet the recommendations of the Wylie Parks, Recreation and Open Space
Master Plan by being eight feet wide and constructed with concrete.
Improvements for this project would include demolition and removal of the
existing asphalt trail, site preparation and grading, and installation of a new eight-
foot wide, ADA compliant concrete walking trail with connections to parking lots
and destination points.

COMMUNITY PARK LIGHTING
The baseball/softball athletic field lighting system at Community Park is nearly 20
years old and has reached the end of its economically feasible life. Last year, an
assessment of the lighting system was conducted, and the report indicated that
the existing wiring has weathered and deteriorated to the point that accidental
electrocution was a possibility. This report coincides with annual observations
made in the past by the electrical contractor performing annual maintenance to
the lights. This project would include consultant services to specify significant
upgrades and repairs to the existing system, install a new remote control Musco
link for remote operation of the lighting system, and install all related electrical
components and appurtenances including transformers, breakers, conduit,
wiring, etc.

recommendations of the Wylie Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan
by being eight feet wide and constructed with concrete. Improvements for this
project would include removal and/or reuse of the existing limestone, site
preparation and grading, and installation of a new eight-foot wide, ADA compliant
concrete walking trail with connections to parking lots and destination points. The
City of Wylie Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan lists trails, as the

to provide an outdoor activity for age groups that cannot utilize the playground
such as teenagers and adults. Basketball courts are listed as a moderate priority
on the Wylie Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan. The Master Plan
identified Friendship Park as a site that needed to be upgraded, and the plan
recommended the addition of seven more basketball courts by the year 2011.
This project would include site preparation and grading, installation of one
concrete basketball court with goals, striping, and connection points to the
existing trail and park amenities etc.

McMILLEN ROAD PROPERTY ACQUISITION
A undeveloped 111.18 acre tract is located on McMillen Road in Wylie. It has not
been annexed into the City. The Collin County Appraisal District's website lists
the market value at $1,490,497. Approximately 60% of the site is located in the
flood plain. The property also contains a significant portion of a trail system
identified in the Wylie Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan. Hike and
bike trails were listed as the number one high priority in the Master Plan. The
Master Plan also recommended that the City acquire at least an additional 210
acres of parkland by the year 2011 to maintain the adopted standard of 12.5
acres per 1,000 population. This project would consist of hiring a consultant to
assist in applying for Texas Parks and Wildlife Department grants and/or Collin
County grants, and possibly coordinating the acquisition with a third party such
as the Trust for Public Land.

OLDE CITY PARK LAND ACQUISITION
Two pieces of property are located near Olde City Park, and they represent
desirable assets for future park development. One property is a 0.1410 acre
tract of land located on South Jackson Street adjacent to Olde City Park in Wylie.
The Collin County Appraisal District's website lists the market value at $20,500.'
Attempts to acquire the land in the past have been unsuccessful. The property
owner has required the City to purchase insurance coverage for the property in
the past when activities in the park have been allowed to occur on the property.
The second property is a 0.1410 acre tract of land also located on South
Jackson. The Collin County Appraisal District's website lists the market value at
,a $47,301. The City of Wylie Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan
recommends that the City acquire at least an additional 210 acres of parkland by
the year 2011 to maintain the adopted standard of 12.5 acres per 1,000
population. This project would consist of applying for Collin County grants. If the

FOUNDERS PARK TENNIS COURT LIGHTS
In 2003, the Wylie ISD constructed eight new outdoor tennis courts adjacent to
the existing Wylie High School. The tennis courts are available for use by the
general public during certain hours that do not conflict with WISD usage. The
City agreed to install the lighting for the courts and the electrical wiring. Conduit
and concrete light pedestals were installed as part of the original construction.
The Parks Department has received calls from citizens asking when the lights will
be installed. The City of Wylie Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan
ranked tennis courts as a number 17, low priority item. The plan recommends
that the City acquire an additional 19 tennis courts in addition to these eight
courts, by the year 2011. This project would consist of the installation of
tournament quality outdoor lighting for the eight tennis courts, all electrical
controls, breakers, wiring, etc.

FOUNDERS PARK BUILDOUT
Construction of Founders Park began in the late 1990's. This 65 acre facility
contains two lighted baseball/softball fields and five lighted soccer fields. The
original plan called for the development of at least two more baseball/softball
fields and additional soccer game fields and soccer practice fields. The park has
a portable restroom facility that is not ADA accessible. The City of Wylie Parks,
Recreation and Open Space Master Plan ranks the development of soccer fields
and athletic fields as moderate priorities with 29 additional baseball/softball
practice fields; 14 soccer practice fields; ten baseball/softball fields; and ten
softball/baseball fields by the year 2011. The plan also lists trails, picnic
shelters/pavilions, benches, seating areas, and open spaces as among the top
ten high priorities. This project would consist of acquiring consultant services to
design the build-out plan for the park including a concession stand, maintenance
storage areas, two baseball/softball fields, seven soccer game fields, seven
soccer practice fields, additional lighting, landscaping, irrigation, walking trails,
seating and picnic areas, picnic pavilions, etc., and all construction of the new
facilities.

JOEL SCOTT MEMORIAL PARK
Phase I of Joel Scott Memorial Park has been completed with grant funding from
Collin County. The City of Wylie originally requested $300,000 for the entire
8.1230 acre project, but only received a $100,000 match. Phase I consisted of
developing three acres of parkland adjacent to Birmingham Elementary School.
Phase II would include development of the remaining 5.1230 acres of parkland
on the west side of Westgate Way just north of Brown Street. The City of Wylie
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan identified trails, benches,
seating areas, and development of open spaces all within the top 10 high
priorities. This project would include the installation of landscaping, irrigation,
eight-foot wide concrete walking trail, a pedestrian bridge, signage, water
fountain(s), benches, picnic tables, etc. Potential funding options include using
the value of this dedicated parkland site as a match with Collin County grants
available over the next five years.

MEADOWVIEW ESTATES HIKE AND BIKE TRAIL
The Meadowview Estates subdivision is currently under construction and is
located on Ballard Street, south of the Harvest Bend and east of the Pointe North
subdivisions. The development contains 110 lots, and the developer is
dedicating 1.8850 acres of parkland to the City. Since all the parkland is either
small parcels or is located within existing easements, the parkland dedication will
not meet the dedications requirements, and the developer has agreed to pay the
City funds in lieu totaling $55,000. The developer wishes to enhance the open
space with concrete trails, landscaping, irrigation, seating areas, and is
requesting that the City enter into an development agreement in the amount of
approximately $73,560 (similar to the agreement the City executed with the
developer of the Creekside subdivision) to jointly pay for the development of the
site. All work would be performed by the developer and meet City specifications.
The City of Wylie Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan identified
trails, benches, seating areas, and development of open spaces all within the top

NEW PARKING LOTS
The City of Wylie owns property on the northwest corner of the Oak Street and
South Jackson Street and property on South Jackson Street. These locations
are in close proximity to the Bart Peddicord Community Center and Olde City
Park. The available parking areas for the Community Center are not adequate to
hold all the vehicles that arrive for events. Also, there is no parking lot for Olde
City Park. Other projects recommend additional land acquisition along South
Jackson to enlarge the park. One of these sites would be suitable to construct a
parking lot for park patrons. This project would include the site preparation and
construction of two new concrete parking lots totaling approximately 22,400
square feet, ADA compliant parking and accessibility, striping, wheel stops,
approaches, signage, lighting, etc.

COMMUNITY PARK BLEACHER REPLACEMENT
The average age of the existing bleachers at Community Park is 15 years old. A
growing number of cities and communities are adopting recommended safety
standards for bleachers to reduce injuries that occur to spectators. The existing
bleachers do not comply with the standards that are being adopted by other
entities, and it would be desirable to replace the existing bleachers. This project
would consist of acquiring new bleachers that meet the recommended safety
guidelines and installation of concrete pads for the bleachers.
