2 . Spring Creek Parkway
3 . Planned State Highway 78 improvements
4 . 1988 Collin County Bond Program.
FM544 REALLOCATION/REALIGNMENT: Mr . Jerry Hoagland stated
that the change order to the courts should read
"reallocation for construction of right-of-way" . It should
also be noted that if the council wanted to designate
Kirby/Stone Road to be FM 544 then there would have to be a
120 ft . Right-of-way. After much discussion , it was
requested of the county to take this proposed right-of-way
and see what if any engineering problems are in this curve
and if there is another way to bring this street through.
Then send the cost figures to our engineering department .
There is a lot of property to be bought up inorder to have
the right-of-way for this street .
SPRING CREEK PARKWAY: Mr. Dennis Burns stated that Mr .
Pendry has said that he would give the right of way needed
if this road would curve through his property. The City
will still need to work on the right-of-way from Parker Road
to the Pendry property, from the Pendry property to Highway
254
78 the right-of-way has been granted through the development
of the Texana Property. Council did not seem to have any
problem with the right-of-way through the Pendry property.
Mayor Trimble requested that county look at the right-of-way
needed from Parker Road through to Highway 78 and let the
Council know if the engineering could be worked out for the
roadway. County does have funds in the amount of
$1 ,080 ,000 . for this project .
STATE HIGHWAY 78 : State Highway 78 improvements go from
FM190 to FM205 and is proposed for 4 lanes with right-of-way
for 6 lanes. Mr. Jerry Hoagland suggested that the City
have someone from the Engineering Department take these
plans and estimate the cost of all buildings and property
that will be affective in order to obtain the proper right-
of-way. Look at the plans and see if the center line for
the highway could be moved over and most of the right-of-way
be taken from the opposite side of Highway 78 .
1988 COLLIN COUNTY BOND PROGRAM: Mr . Jerry Hoagland stated
that the following subjects would be on the 1988 bond
program: Transportation (Roads , Airports, Transit) , Open
Space, Infrastructure (Water & Sewer , Solid Waste, and Flood
Control) , Buildings (Health Facilities , Administration,
Criminal Justice) . Mr . Hoagland suggested that the council
members become active in the above programs and serve on
some of the committees . Council should also get some of the
citizens involved . The initial meeting for this bond
program will not be until September . Mayor Trimble
suggested that council have a workshop around the middle of
August to work on this bond program.
There being no other discussion, a motion was made to
adjourn with all in favor .
