DISCUSSION ITEMS
• Review of the proposed trails on the new Collin College Campus.
Director Diaz advised the Board that he had been meeting with Collin College representatives
regarding their upcoming college site development in Wylie. Per the agreement between the City
and Collin College, trails are to be included on the new campus. The college will be built in two
phases with the initial construction anticipated to being fall of 2018, and a completion date of fall
2020. The first phase of proposed trail on the Collin College construction will be located on the south
end campus trail along Country Club connecting to Lakefield Estates. The proposed phase two of
the Collin College trail will be located on the north end of the campus connecting to future trails
located in Parkside Estates. More specific trail details will come later, however it is believed that the
Collin College campus trail will be funded and maintained by them. Staff is set to meet weekly with
the Collin College construction team. The Board requested staff inquire on having a Collin College
representative attend the next Parks and Recreation Board meeting in order to answer questions
and present insights pertaining to the proposed trail, specifically prior to the execution of the final
plan.
• Review the Wylie Senior Center Feasibility Study.
Director Diaz reviewed the results of the completed feasibility study explaining the three tiered future
development approach outlined in the study by the consultant. The Tier One plan is a renovation of
the existing facility;the Tier Two plan includes the construction of additional space (5,000 square
feet)to the existing facility; and the Tier Three plan is the construction of a brand new facility with site
modifications. Parking lot modifications were also included in the study. The study will be noted
within the upcoming Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan.
• Review of the Municipal Complex Trail Lighting Plan.
Director Diaz explained how the trail lighting plan was proposed to be constructed in two phases to
allow for the project to be completed as funds become available. The trenching, conduit, and lighting
are the primary expense of the installation, and it is possible some of the work could done by Parks
Division staff. Staff was advised by the consultant to utilize electric for the design with LED lighting
instead of solar lighting due to the amount of shading along the trail. Staff plans to use Musco
Lighting Control to manage new trail lighting due to it being the current system in place that manages
existing park and field lights.
• Review of the Bozman Trail Concept Plan.
Director Diaz went over the conceptual trail layout with the Board. The plan is to add City trail to the
Bozman Homeowners Association property, similar to the Kreymer Estates subdivision. Trail
specifics have not yet been determined.
• Projects update.
Director Diaz presented the east, west and central zone map to the board. He included a detailed
chart specifying ongoing park projects, broken down to include the specific zone, budgeted amount,
account funded from, anticipated completion dates, and progress updates.
