BUSINESS ITEMS
1. Consider and act upon approval of the Minutes from the July 13, 2015
meeting.
Board Action:
Board Member White made a motion, seconded by Board Member Jones, to approve the minutes
from the July 13, 2015 Meeting. A vote was taken and passed 6-0.
2. Consider and act upon clarification of parkland dedication for the Kreymer
Park Development.
Superintendent Diaz stated that this item was initially approved by the Parks and Recreation
Board at the July 13, 2015 meeting. City Council subsequently tabled the item at their August 11,
2015 meeting requesting additional clarification from the Parks and Recreation Board on certain
proposed development details. City Council's questions were as follows:
1. Were entry feature items included in the developer, Amalgamated Properties' parkland
item cost estimate?
2. Is the developer including the .15-acre parcel on the east side of the development as part
of the parkland dedication?
3. Does the proposed trail area and open space comply with the 2010 Parks, Recreation,
and Open Space Plan and 2012 Trails Master Plan?
Question 1: Superintendent Diaz explained that the original cost estimate provided to the Board
by the developer totaled $321,280.00 because the proposed entry feature items were included in
with the required parkland dedication items. This led City Council to request clarification, whether
the value of these items should or should not be comingled. Therefore, to clarify this point, the
entry feature items were removed from the cost estimate reflecting a more accurate total in the
amount of$215,020.00. The parkland dedication improvements totaling $215,020.00 in
combination with the 6.42 acres of land dedication will satisfy the parkland dedication
requirement.
Question 2: Superintendent Diaz clarified that the .15 acre open space area in question was
indeed not included in the 6.42 acres of land dedication.
Question 3: Superintendent Diaz confirmed that the location of the open space and proposed
trail is within the recommended guidelines of the 2010 Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan
and the 2012 City of Wylie Trails Master Plan.
Board Action:
Board Member Jones made a motion, seconded by Board Member Kinser, to approve the
clarification of parkland dedication for the Kreymer Park Development. A vote was taken and
passed 6-0.
