Superintendent Diaz advised the Board that Woodbridge North Developer, Don Herzog, is
proposing to meet a total of$748,000 in parkland dedication requirements with a combination of
land dedication, parkland improvements, and cash contribution into the west Acquisition and
Improvement(A&1)funds.
Developer Herzog addressed the Board with details of his proposal. He plans to contribute nearly
$190,000 in cash funds, dedicate 2.59 acres of parkland, and install approximately$454,000
worth of parkland improvements. These improvements include eight and 12 foot wide concrete
trails,trail mileage markers, playground equipment, picnic tables, park benches,trash
receptacles, landscaping, and irrigation. Developer Herzog noted that after the proposed project
is complete,the City of Wylie would assume responsibility of utilities and maintenance.
Developer Herzog specified that the 2.59 acres of parkland dedication includes 1.08 acres of
North Texas Municipal Water District(NTMWD)easement. He also stated that the 12 foot portion
of concrete trail he plans to install is in 8.78 acres of overhead right of way owned by Oncor.
The Board expressed concern as to the likelihood of Oncor granting permission for Developer
Herzog to construct the trail within their overhead right of way. Director Sferra advised the Board
that City staff had already been in communication with Oncor regarding the issue. He stated that
Staff has submitted an application to gain Oncor's permission to allow trail construction within
their right of way, and that Oncor gave Staff every indication of accepting the City's proposal and
approving the application.
Superintendent Diaz explained that there is possibly a need for a small parking lot adjacent to the
proposed 2.59 acre park. Developer Herzog estimated the cost of installing a 10 to 12 space
parking lot would be approximately$20,000 to$25,000. The Board requested Developer Herzog
provide them with a few varying parking lot concepts along with cost estimates for each.
Board Action:
Board Member Kinser made a motion, seconded by Board Member Harris, to approve the
parkland dedication for the Woodbridge North Development with the condition that the developer
provide parking lot concepts with cost estimates for the Board to consider at a future meeting. A
