The property was annexed into the City August 31, 1999 and has never been platted. The current zoning Ordinance does not clearly specify design standards for Non-residential structures within residential districts. Therefore a Planned Development District is being proposed in order to define the design standards. General Business 2. Consider, and act upon, Ordinance No. 2008-19 amending Article III, (Operation of Vehicles), Chapter 110 (Traffic and Vehicles) of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Wylie and adding a new Section 110-114 (Use of Hand-held Mobile Telephones Prohibited in School Zones); providing for a penalty of the violation of this ordinance; providing for severability; repealing and saving clauses; providing for the publication of this caption hereof; and providing for an effective date of this ordinance. (J. Duscio, Police Chiej) Executive Summary School zones are in place to help protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public, especially school aged children. As many families have a fast paced life style running from one location to another many drivers are distracted by many things. A major distraction for drivers is the use of hand held cell phones. Many drivers will also text message while driving. This added distraction in an area where there are many children walking to and from school increases the possibility of an accident involving a child pedestrian. This ordinance would prohibit the use of hand held wireless telephones for calling or text messaging in a school zone during established school zone hours. 3.

A vote was taken and passed 7-0. REGULAR AGENDA Public Hearing 1. Hold a Public Hearing and consider, and act upon, a change in zoning from Community Retail (CR) to Commercial Corridor (CC), property located at 400 Alanis, generally located on the south side of Alanis Drive and west of Ballard Avenue. ZC 2008-02. (R. 011ie, Planning Director) Staff Comments Planning Director 011ie addressed Council stating that the applicant is requesting a zoning change from Community Retail (CR) to Commercial Corridor(CC) to accommodate a desire to develop the property as part of a Landscaping Company. The proposed use, Contractor's Maintenance Yard — Wholesale, is allowed by right in CC but not allowed in CR. The Comprehensive Plan allocates this property as low- density residential (AG-30 and SF-1A/30). However, as both S. Ballard and Alanis are major arterials with, or soon to have, four or more lanes, CC zoning for the parcel of land is consistent with accepted zoning and planning practices and the philosophy of the Comp Plan, which allows for a more diverse and intensive mixture of commercial uses along major thoroughfares to accommodate easiest vehicular access. Planning Director 011ie explained that the property was zoned CR in 2006 at the request of the current property owner to allow for retail development. The approved zoning exhibit associated with the zoning change served as a Preliminary Plat. The property has not been final platted. Prior to 2006 the property had been zoned Agriculture since its annexation in 1988. She reported that an existing 4,000 square foot frame and brick non-conforming structure occupies the eastern portion of the tract. The property was the subject of a variance request heard by Zoning Board of Adjustment requesting a variance to Section 4.3.F.1 (a) (1) Architectural Features of the Zoning Ordinance requiring a brick structure with at least 20% stone on the front façade. The request was denied by ZBoA in October, 2007. The existing structure is a non-conforming structure and would have to adhere to current codes in order to be occupied. She reported that as part of this zoning change, the current property owner would be required to tear down the existing structure. The Commission recommended additional live irrigated landscaping along the west property line; the company is a landscape company and agreed to the additional landscaping. She reported that the proposed bay doors would also be screened. The Planning and Zoning Commission voted in favor of the zoning change. Ms. 011ie reported that nine property owners were sent letters and only one reply was received in favor of the change. Mayor Mondy asked Ms. 011ie if that property owner was the current owner of the proposed property change. Ms. 011ie replied that was correct. Mayor Pro Tem Byboth reported that he had been in contact with property owners in the area who actually resided in Collin County and were in favor of the zoning change in lieu of commercial development and thought it would be aesthetically pleasing to the area. Councilwoman Spillyards asked what oversight was in place, to insure the live landscape, in lieu of permanent structure retainer walls, was kept up. Planning Director 011ie reported that in Article 7 of the Landscape portion of the Zoning Ordinance, property owners were required to keep all live landscape in good condition or replace it. However, if a drought was to occur and water restrictions were in place, those requirements would need to be reviewed. She explained that at this time, the City did not have a zero-scape requirement in place; however the Planning Department was working on that. Minutes— March 25, 2008 Wylie City Council Page 3 Public Hearing Mayor Mondy opened the public hearing regarding Zoning Case 2008-02 at 6:15 p.m. asking anyone present wishing to address Council on the item to come forward and keep their comments to three minutes.

Mayor Mondy closed the public hearing at 6:15 p.m. Council Action A motion was made by Councilman Porter, seconded by Councilman Young to approve Zoning Case #2008-02 changing zoning from Community Retail to Commercial Corridor, property located at 400 Alanis. A vote was taken and passed 7-0. General Business 2. Consider, and act upon, authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract, in the amount of $32,280, with the Estates at Creekside Owners Association for reimbursement of costs for installation of an irrigation system in the Creekside Estates Park Area A. (M. Sferra, Public Services Director) Staff Comments Public Services Director, Sferra addressed Council stating that the Estates at Creekside Owners Association has requested that the City enter into a contract that would allow the Association to construct public improvements in the park at their cost, and to be reimbursed for a portion of the project by the City during the next fiscal year. The City would own and operate the irrigation system once installed. The total project cost is $44,380 of which the Association's share would be $12,000, and the City's share would be $32,380. He explained that the proposed system is an enviro-transporation (ET) system which has the capability of monitoring climatic conditions and applying irrigation only when needed. Mr. Sferra explained that the Association is aware that this project is not budgeted at this time, and they are willing to be reimbursed out of the City's next fiscal budget. If approved, staff will include the City's share of the project cost in the Park Division budget during the next budget process. He reported that the Park Board reviewed the proposed irrigation project at their February 25, 2008 meeting, and the project received favorable consideration. Mr. Sferra noted to Council that the actual contract was in the amount of$32,380: he asked that the motion include the corrected amount. City Manager Manson reported to Council that this was not the first time the City has agreed to reimbursement and cost sharing with this community. She stated, in the past, the City has had very good luck with this type of agreement for park improvements. She noted that the improvements become property of the City as dedicated parkland. Creekside Estates HOA Comments Gilbert Tamez, Sr. representing the Creekside HOA addressed Council stating that the reason the Creekside HOA would like to construct the irrigation system in the park this year is due to the heavy use at the park by Wylie residents. He explained that during the summer, especially during drought events, the ground becomes very hard and the association was afraid children might injure themselves. Mr. Tamez rienterated that the Association would like to get the park irrigated this year and make it safer for the community.

Consider, and act upon, the appointment of citizens to a solid waste committee for the purpose of providing feedback to staff and making recommendations to Council on the current level of service, future service options, and award of a solid waste contract. (J. Butters, Assistant City Manager) Staff Comments Assistant City Manager Butters addressed Council stating that the City of Wylie's current solid waste disposal contract will expire August 31st of this year. There have been and continue to be service issues with the current provider. Additionally this service has not gone out to competitive bid in approximately twenty (20) years. Staff has begun to prepare a Request for Proposals but would like to receive input and guidance from citizens on what they would like to have in the way of solid waste and recycle service.

He reported the following had volunteered: Kevin Brandon, Birmingham Farms Assoc.; Gilbert Tamez, Sr., Creekside Estates Assoc.; Jim Schultz, Birmingham Farms Assoc.; Richard Vaughn, Riverchase Assoc.; Kerri Hohler, Creekside Assoc.; Tom McClure, Woodbridge Assoc., and Sara Hoisted, Woodbridge Country Club. Council Discussion Councilman Young asked if the gated communities were handled differently for solid waste delivery. Assistant City Manager Butters replied that all communities were delivered waste pickup in the same manner. Councilman White asked if non HOA representatives could be appointed to this committee. Assistance City Manager Butters replied that staff would be happy to add any citizens appointed by Council and willing to serve on the committee. Councilman Goss asked if the committee needed to be finally appointed tonight as he had a couple of citizens he had asked and had not heard back from. Assistant City Manager Butters replied that staff needed at least 120 days if the contract was awarded to another contractor. He stated that the timeline was short. Mayor Mondy asked Councilman Goss if he could contact staff with the two additional citizens by Thursday, March 27, 2008. Councilman Goss replied that he would. Assistant City Manager Butters reported that he could add the additional citizens on to the committee once confirmed by Councilman Goss but requested that the committee be approved so staff could move forward.

He reported that the current staff had over one hundred fifty four years of combined experience in instruction, building inspection and code enforcement. He asked that in the efficiency of time, he would like to summarize Items 4—9. He stated that in the interest of advancing uniformity in efficient design and safety of building systems by promoting a common code regionally; the North Central Texas Council of Governments encourages member jurisdictions in North Central Texas to adopt the recommended code along with their respective regional amendments that protect public health, safety, and welfare.

Upon review by NCTCOG's four advisory boards and the City's Inspection Department in conjunction with surrounding municipalities, staff recommends approval of the 2006 Edition of the International Residential Code & NCTCOG's recommended regional amendments. City staff recommends several local revisions to NCTCOG's amendments: • Adequate toilet facilities for construction projects. • Automatic sprinkler system shall be installed throughout all buildings with a building area greater than 6,000 sq. ft. area, unless a special variance to this requirement is determined by the Fire Chief. • Provision for carbon monoxide detectors • Permits shall be required for all new fences, accessory buildings and concrete flatwork. • Applicants for building permits shall be a registered contractor with the City of Wyle except for homeowners choosing to do work at their residences.

(C. Lee, Interim Building Official) Staff Report The current and adopted 2003 Building Code with regional amendments was adopted by Council in November 2005. Upon review by NCTCOG's four advisory boards and the City's Inspection Department in conjunction with surrounding municipalities, staff recommends approval of the 2006 Edition of the International Building Code & NCTCOG's recommended regional amendments. City staff recommends several local revisions to NCTCOG's amendments: • Local Selection of Option "B"; the more restrictive definition and applicability of High-Rise Buildings. • Automatic sprinkler system shall be installed throughout all buildings with a building area greater than 6,000 sq. ft. area, unless a special variance to this requirement is determined by the Fire Chief. • Permits shall be required for all new fences, accessory buildings and concrete flatwork. • Applicants for building permits shall be a registered contractor with the City of Wyle except for homeowners choosing to do work at their residences. The above local amendments are being proposed to ensure necessary safeguards are in place to protect the public's health and welfare. These local provisions were developed based on the City's firefighting capabilities and consultation with the City's Fire Department Staff, and it is anticipated that City's Fire Code will mirror these recommendations when updated. Staff notified all registered General Contractors of the proposed ordinance amendments on March 14, 2008 through US mail.

A vote was taken and passed 7-0. 10. Consider, and act upon, Resolution No. 2008-11(R) authorizing the Mayor to enter into an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Plano, Texas and the City of Allen, Texas for participation in communications consulting services for radio system replacement/upgrade project. (R. Corbin, Fire Chief Minutes— March 25, 2008 Wylie City Council Page 9 Staff Comments Fire Chief Corbin addressed Council stating that the radio system currently being used by Wylie Police and Fire is a business system, and completely non-compatible with any of the neighboring departments. In addition to not being conducive to national moves towards interoperability, the system makes communications with neighboring departments during large incidents or police chases impractical, and requires "patching" that causes delays in voice messages. The system was implemented as a measure to avoid purchasing the higher-priced interoperable hardware some years back, but increased public safety activity along with increased operations across our city boundaries has made this a priority. Major systems that Wylie could subscribe to include Garland (already at maximum capacity currently), Collin County (slated for a capacity study in the next fiscal year), and the Plano-Allen-Frisco system. With Frisco leaving the system, an offer has been made to Wylie to purchase the 1/6 ownership that Frisco is abandoning. He reported that Plano is studying upgrades to their system which the City could agree to join. He reported that the department is leaning toward Plano's system due to the management offered. He reported that this study will determine if the system is adequate to service the City of Wylie. Fire Chief Corbin explained that If the City lets this opportunity pass, we would have only the Collin County system to join. The County system may not become available to the City of Wylie for some time as the county is determining whether to open the system up to municipalities. If we wait, the Plano system would no longer be available. He asked Council members to speak to Collin County commissioners regarding allowing the City of Wylie to join their communications system at some point in the future, if needed. Councilman White reported that this study would allow the City to determine whether the proposed improvements to the Plano system would be beneficial to the City of Wylie, in the future. Mayor Mondy asked Chief Corbin what the cost would be if the City had to implement a system alone. Chief Corbin replied, "If the City implemented a 700-800 communications system to include the mobile hardware, portables and everything, the cost could range between three and four million dollars." He noted that most of those estimated costs would be front end loaded; to build an entire system and have the equipment compatible with it. Council Action A motion was made by Councilman White, seconded by Councilman Porter to approve Resolution No. 2008-11(R) authorizing the City Manager to enter into an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Plano, Texas and the City of Allen, Texas for participation in communications consulting services for radio system replacement/upgrade project. A vote was taken and passed 7-0 READING OF ORDINANCES Title and caption approved by Council as required by Wylie City Charter, Article III, Section 13-D. City Secretary Ehrlich read the captions to Ordinance Nos. 2008-12, 2008-13, 2008-14, 2008- 15, 2008-16, and 2008-17 into the official record. Mayor Mondy convened into Work Session at 6:55 p.m. WORK SESSION • Discussion and update regarding Proposed Flat Sewer Rate. (L. Williamson, Finance Director) Larry Williamson gave a presentation regarding the use of a flat sewer rate for residential customers. He displayed charts analyzing fixed versus variable costs of the City's sewer system and customer distribution relative to revenue and average bill. He explained the current subsidizing of sewer services through Sewer Impact Fees and recommended two options for flat Minutes—March 25, 2008 Wylie City Council Page 10 rates. He reported that the average bill for sewer customers was currently $24.62. He recommended starting with a flat rate of $25.00 and increasing that fee by 3% per year, which would be sufficient to cover all operating costs in 2013. He reported that Sewer Impact Fees currently subsidize the difference in fees collected and fixed costs. These impact fees are paid by new development during the permitting phase. Impact fees will decrease as the City is built out. The Impact Fees are used to subsidize Debt Service Costs. He suggested raising the initial flat sewer fee to $27.00 with 3% increases per year which would generate revenues sufficient to cover all operating costs and the Repair and Replacement Fund by FY 2013. Direction from Council was to place an item on the agenda for City Council consideration for a flat sewer rate to include a repair and replacement program. • Discussion regarding Quiet Zones. (C. Holsted, City Engineer) City Engineer Holsted introduced Robert Albritton representing Railroad Controls Limited. Mr. Albritton reported that he had reviewed the individual railroad crossings within the City of Wylie. He explained the options open to cities to allow Quiet Zones. These included: temporary closures, four quadrant gates with and without vehicle detection, Median/channelization, one way street with a gate or gates across the roadway, permanent crossing closure, and automated wayside horns. He reported that each crossing had been reviewed and a recommendation had been made as to the type of supplemental safety measures needed. He reported that the crossing at Country Club Road could not be made at this time due to KCS needing to make some alterations. He reported that the total cost for these improvements to eleven crossings would range somewhere between $192,350 and $234,950. Direction from Council was to have staff continue researching this item to place on an agenda for Council consideration. RECONVENE INTO OPEN SESSION Take any action as a result from Work Session. Mayor Mondy reconvened into open session at 7:02 p.m. ADJOURNMENT Council Action A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Byboth, seconded by Councilman Porter to adjourn the meeting at 9:00 p.m. Consensus of Council was to adjourn.

My patio home is unique in that the side yard is seen from most rooms in the house and, because I have lots of windows, I knew the design would be a challenge while staying within my budget. I met with Andy onsite only one time and he "got it". Within a few days Andy presented the landscape design which included all points we discussed and so much more. Andy's redesign of the "builder installed" front yard incorporated the existing plants that I liked while discarding those that I did not like. His choice of plants enhanced the design/redesign beyond anything I could imagine. I knew I had wanted to incorporate a flagstone path the length of the side yard into the design. After discussion with Andy and, basically giving him carte blanc of the design/redesign, he chose a magnificent flagstone path that provides interest throughout the landscape. The quality of the plants in the design is a marvel; they look hearty and healthy and are to scale for my landscape. My irrigation system was also completely reworked to accommodate the new plant gardens and redesign. Andy's communication regarding the expected installation was exact. They even had to deal with unusual weather conditions and still they stayed within the beginning and ending parameters of time. The installation was meticulous and precise, just like the design. Of course I had some additions (yes, they are that good!) before the installation was to begin, and the adjustments were made without any problems. The installation was so smooth and such attention was given to detail that I have decided to change to their lawn services as well. I have seen many other homes in our community and I feel that the work completed by Andy and the installation crew is superior. There are no words to express how pleased I am with the design as well as the installation, although perfection comes to mind.

We had the pleasure of working with Andy Reglin. Andy impressed us from day one with his knowledge base and recommendations, providing detailed information and letting us view his landscape so we could get a better idea of the suggested trees and shrubs prior to making our final selection. We made our initial arrangements with your company at the beginning of our six week construction period and did not have contact with Andy again until we called to tell him construction was cxmiplete and arrange for the landscaping to begin. Andy had the entire job completed within 24 hours from the go ahead phone call, including not only the landscaping around the new pool,but sod for the entire backyard,additional shrubbery along the back of the house and lighting fixtures installed accenting the front of our home. Your crew performed immaculate work,with perfect placement of all materials that created a beautiful and balanced setting. We could not be more pleased with the outcome and look forward to enjoying the outdoor oasis that your group helped to complete. We would definitely recommend your company to anyone with lawn care and landscape needs.

Box 940507 Piano, TX 75094 Dear Daniel, Lily and I both want to thank you again, not just for the beautiful job you did for us initially on the pool, deck and landscape lighting, but for the exceptional diligence and integrity you demonstrated in coming back to honor your warranty after the job was done. in the landscaping business, as in any service business, there are many more operators who talk about guaranteeing their work than there are who actually follow through on those guarantees. In this case, we know that coming back to repair the settling cracks that occurred in our stone decking was a costly proposition for you, and yet you did it cheerfully and without hesitation, with no questions asked. We can't tell you how much we appreciate that. We were impressed throughout the job by your honesty, your conscientiousness, and your attention to detail, and now we are equally impressed by the way you've backed up your promise of complete customer satisfaction. We're delighted with the work you've done for us, and we would be proud to recommend you to anyone looking for a creative, reliable and professional landscaping contractor. Thank you very much!

Our lawn and gardens really do look wonderful,not just to us but also to our friends and neighbors who have given us so many compliments. The plant,shrub, and tree selections you helped us make have all tamed out to be perfect choices,and are thriving. We especially hire the stonework which has added so much to the appearance of our front yard and entryway. And the workmanship is dearly superior to stonework we've seen at many other homes. Every step of the way before,during,and after the job was complete,you were terrific at communicating with us,answering all our questions and concerns, and your on-site work crew was careful and professional. Also very important to us was the work was started and finished exauxly when you told us it would be. We've rarely encountered that with other contractors, especially on landscaping. You have a very good and professional business,and you can be certain we will call only you when we have future landscape plans. Very truly yours, Frank and Susan Giardina Allen,Texas After living in a new development for about a year,we were tired of the lack of trees and the industrial layout of the landscape. We met Daniel Stewart during our search for a company to help us make the landscaping of our house more pleasant and personalized. Daniel was very helpful in first listening to what ideas we had,and then integrating them into an overall scheme for a new stone patio and walkway and new landscaping in the front and back yards to better suit our desires and needs. A new stonework and lighting plan ensured that our front yard is beautiful day and night He was an amazing resource in helping pick plants that are functional,attractive,and suited to the c1im ttn;here in North Texas. Also,he was very responsive to questions about the landscape design and changes that we requested. He was willing to work in existing plant material that we had in addition to the new plant material that was need. The landscape design that he presented to us was well thought out and well planned. Once the project was started,the work crews were prompt and pleasant The job proceeded along in a timely fashion,and either Daniel or Andy was always available to tell us what the plan was for that day and to answer any questions that we had. Daniel himself went to great lengths to make certain that we were happy with the new plant material and the stone for the flowerbeds and the patio. I must say,we were never disappointed with the materials that they brought to the job or the way the job was done. Once the landscaping job had been completed,Andy took the time to again go over everything that they had done,and the care and maintenance a of the flowerbeds and trees. Our project required extra attention when the sump pump that was installed in the wet area of the side yard had trouble keeping up with the amount of water presented to it during the fall rains. I was quite impressed with the way the company handled the situation;they modified the pump immediately and took extra care to ensure that the system was going to meet our needs. We have had periods since of impressive rainfall and our side yard remains well drained,even when the neighboring yards are inundated. So, as I hope you can tell,we continue to be delighted that we chose to work with Stewart Lawncare and Landscape to redo our yard. We're completely happy with the results and enjoy them daily. It's wonderful to work with a company that is dedicated to making the customer happy and to producing a beautiful end result. -4004 -1 Brian and Tray e "lit :Rio! �9 �ea &a � letp 41 . 10 Pler 0 ,1 lei III 114 lot 4011 " Pa • 114 111111 q1t0. p6 � B 1 28-02 Dear Daniel, We wanted to let you know how much we are enjoying our new landscape and righting. We couldn't believe what a change it made! I am so glad that we decided to follow all of your suggestions.The members of your crew were very efficient, hardworking, and courteous.Andy patiently answered all of our questions,too. We have always trusted your advice with questions about our lawn, and I knew we would be happy with the quality of your work.We could not even imagine, however, what a change the lighting would make. It is so much more impressive than we ever imagined!We could not be more pleased.

Plano,Texas "We were impressed throughout the job by your honesty, your conscientiousness, and your attention to detail, and now we are equally impressed by the way you've backed up your promise of complete customer satisfaction. We're delighted with the work you've done for us, and we would be proud to recommend you to anyone looking for a creative, reliable Wylie City Council CITY OF WYLIE AGENDA REPORT Meeting Date: April 8, 2008 Item Number: C Department: Planning (City Secretary's Use Only) Prepared By: Jasen Haskins Account Code: Date Prepared: March 26, 2008 Budgeted Amount: Exhibits: 1 Subject Consider, and act upon, a Final Plat for Woodbridge Crossing creating seventeen (17) commercial lots on 64.68 acres, generally located south of FM 544 between McCreary Road and Springwell Parkway. Recommendation Motion to approve a Final Plat for Woodbridge Crossing creating seventeen (17) commercial lots on 64.68 acres, generally located south of FM 544 between McCreary Road and Springwell Parkway. Discussion The property totals 64.68 acres and creates and establishes (17) seventeen commercial lots for a retail shopping, dining and family entertainment center. The property was annexed into the City of Wylie in November 1985 and continues to be used for agricultural purposes. The subject property is part of the larger 186.56 acre planned development tract assembled by Herzog Development Corporation and was successfully rezoned PD2006-01 in January 2006. At that time, the PD established five major use areas, which include a commercial shopping center component, sports complex, and retirement housing. Specific provisions were defined as part of the PD, including a Development Plan to serve as an overall site plan for the development consistent with the City Comprehensive Plan. This item represents `Tract 1' as indicated in the adopted master plan to allow for those uses permitted within Commercial Corridor (CC) zoned districts. Tract 1 fronts F.M. 544, has a depth of approximately 1,000 feet and extends from McCreary Road east to Springwell Parkway. As part of this plat, rights-of-way for both secondary collectors (McCreary Road & Springwell Parkway) are being dedicated. The plat will establish the boundaries for 17 lots including the major and junior anchors located along the rear and multiple pads for future restaurants, fast food and miscellaneous personal services sites fronting F.M. 544. Designated access points and traffic signal locations have been approved by the City's Engineering Department & TXDOT. The Final Plat complies with all applicable technical requirements of the City of Wylie. Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend approval 7-0.

FEBRUARY 20, 2008 CONTACT:DAVID S.WATSON SHEET 9 of 5 Wylie City Council CITY OF WYLIE AGENDA REPORT Meeting Date: April 8, 2008 Item Number: 1 Department: Planning (City Secretary's Use Only) Prepared By: Renae 011ie Account Code: Date Prepared: March 26, 2008 Budgeted Amount: Exhibits: 9 Subject Hold a Public Hearing and consider, and act upon, a change in zoning from Agriculture District (AG/30) to Planned Development-Agricultural District (PD-AG/30), generally located west of FM 1378 (Country Club Road) and south of FM 2514 (Parker Road). ZC2008-03 Recommendation Motion to amend the zoning from Agriculture District (AG/30) to Planned Development-Agricultural District (PD-AG/30), generally located west of FM 1378 (Country Club Road) and south of FM 2514 (Parker Road). ZC2008-03 Discussion Owner: James Todd Palmer Applicant: Marlys J. Collins, Ministry Consultants The applicant Gateway Community Church is proposing to construct a 113,150 square foot church/worship facility on 12.6 acres. The property was annexed into the City August 31, 1999 and has never been platted. The current zoning Ordinance does not clearly specify design standards for Non-residential structures within residential districts. Therefore a Planned Development District is being proposed in order to define the design standards. The Comprehensive Land use Plan designates the property as Low Density Residential. The establishment of low density residential areas is an effort to preserve and replicate the rural environment of Wylie. The adjacent property to the north is zoned Agricultural, and being used for bona fide agricultural purposes. The property to the west is occupied by Wylie ISD and platted as Rita Smith Elementary School. Properties to the south are zoned Planned Development and fully developed as single-family residential dwellings ranging from 7,200 square foot lots to as large as 20,000 square foot lots. The lots that are immediately adjacent to the subject property are developed as 20,000 square foot lots. PD Conditions The tract when developed as a Church/House of Worship shall be exempt from Section 3.4 Residential Design Standards. Design requirements shall be in accordance with Section 4.3 Nonresidential Design Standards with the following exceptions: 1. Front facade oriented to the street shall not be required. 2. Landscaping in the front, rear and side yards shall only be required within 100 feet of any structure or paving. Page 1 of 3 Page 2 of 3 3. Concrete tilt wall construction with textured finish shall be permissible. 4. Roofs shall be either built-up with a parapet, composition with laminate shingles or pre-finished metal. The applicant is proposing tilt wall construction in lieu of the required brick exterior. A concrete tilt wall construction with a textured finish is being proposed to allow for future expansion. The northern and western (permanent) exterior walls of Phase 1 would be constructed with at least 20% stone, brick or cast stone and tilt- wall panels with only brick accents in accordance with the PD Conditions 5.C.1. Article 3, Figure 3-1 (AG/30 District) requires a minimum front yard setback of 50 feet, side yard of 20 feet and a rear yard of 50 feet. The proposed PD request a minimum front yard setback of 25 feet, side yard of 10 feet and a rear yard of 10 feet. The main structure shall not exceed 45 feet in height, while campaniles, bell towers, spires or similar architectural appurtenances shall not exceed a height of 90 feet. Landscaping shall be provided in proportion with each phase. The landscaped area of Phase 1 shall comprise 6% (35,071 s.f.) of the total subject tract, and 39% of just the Phase 1 area. The total area of the site is 548,856 s.f. Upon completion of all phases, landscaping shall encompass 37.4%. In an effort to shield property owners along the southern border of the property, shrubs or trees shall be planted in accordance with Article 7, Section 7.1.E.2, as development of the property moves southward. The Zoning Ordinance requires 1 parking space for every 4 seats in the main sanctuary (based on design capacity). The PD proposes to construct 61 on-site spaces for phase 1(13,758 s.f.) to accommodate the 2,280 seat sanctuary, 77 off-site spaces would be located on the adjacent WISD Smith Elementary School site for a total of 138 parking spaces. This is 432 spaces short or 24% of the required 570. When the total development is complete, 570 spaces would be provided on site. A shared parking agreement in accordance with Article 7, Section 7.3.F.2 Shared Parking must be approved by City Council, and may only be approved if: (1) The parking facilities are located on a parcel zoned for the same use as the primary use; (2) The owners cooperatively establish and operate the facilities; (3) The uses separately generate parking demands primarily during hours when the remaining uses are not in operation; (4) A minimum number of spaces are provided to meet the requirements of the use with the single greatest parking demand; (5) Satisfactory evidence, as deemed by the Director, has been submitted describing the nature of the uses and the times when the uses operate so as to demonstrate the lack of potential conflict; (6) The consent agreement, subject to the approval by the City Attorney, must be in the form of a binding contract, of sufficient length of time, between the property owners operating the shared parking facility to ensure the continued use of the facility. The contract shall be filed with the City with the Certificate of Occupancy for each use; (7) The parking facility shall not be more than 300 feet from the building or use it is intended to serve; and (8) The shared parking facility shall not be separated or divided from the building or use it is intended to serve by a freeway, expressway, highway, or major street. A final Site Plan for each phase and a Final Plat are required prior to the issuance of a building permit. The shared parking agreement must be approved by City Council prior to the approval of final site plan. Page 3 of 3 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION DISCUSSION Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6-1 to recommend approval. The Commissioner voting in opposition expressed concerns of increased traffic along FM 1378 and that future development on FM 1378 should cease until FM 1378 is widened. The Commission asked the applicant to clarify the exterior building materials. A painted stucco textured coating will be applied to the exterior walls with at least 20% stone, brick or cast stone. The applicant further stated that you would not be able to tell much difference between the stucco finish and the tilt wall. Also discussed was the separation between the school and the church as it relates to shared parking. It was determined that no wall would separate the properties. The intent of the onsite pond was discussed in length as to the need for a retention or detention pond. The applicant stated that they were not that far into the civil design phase at this point. The process of submitting a Parking Agreement was also discussed. Notification/Responses: Seventeen (17) notifications were mailed to property owners within the 200' notification buffer, with one (1) response returned favoring the request.

Recommendation A motion to approve Ordinance No. 2008- 19 amending Article III, (Operation of Vehicles), Chapter 110 (Traffic and Vehicles) of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Wylie and adding a new Section 110-114, (Use of Hand-held Mobile Telephones Prohibited in School Zones); providing for a penalty of the violation of this ordinance; providing for severability; repealing and saving clauses; providing for the publication of this caption hereof; and providing for an effective date of this ordinance. Discussion School zones are in place to help protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public, especially school aged children. As many families have a fast paced life style running from one location to another many drivers are distracted by many things. A major distraction for drivers is the use of hand held cell phones. Many drivers will also text message while driving. This added distraction in an area where there are many children walking to and from school increases the possibility of an accident involving a child pedestrian. This ordinance would prohibit the use of hand held wireless telephones for calling or text messaging in a school zone during established school zone hours. Staff is requesting Council approve Ordinance No. 2008 —19 Art. III Section 110-114 Prohibiting the use of hand held cell phones in school zones. The Ordinance will take effective August 25, 2008 the first day of school for the 08 / 09 school year. There will be a 1 week warning period prior to enforcement.

WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Wylie, Texas ("City Council") has investigated and determined that it will be advantageous, beneficial and in the best interest of the citizens of the City of Wylie, Texas (the "City") to amend Article III (Operation of Vehicles), Chapter 110 (Traffic and Vehicles) of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Wylie by adding a new Section 110-114 (Use of Hand-held Mobile Telephones Prohibited in School Zones) as set forth below; and WHEREAS, the City Council has investigated and determined that the use of hand-held mobile telephones to engage in a call or the use of a mobile communication device to send, read, or write a text message while operating a moving motor vehicle is a traffic hazard and a danger to the public because such actions limit the driver's ability to steer and maneuver the motor vehicle in a safe manner, require the driver to remove his or her eyes from the road thereby limiting his or her ability to see and react to hazards, and otherwise distract the driver's concentration from the safe operation of the motor vehicle; and WHEREAS, the City Council has investigated and determined that the use of a hand- held mobile telephone to engage in a call or the use of a mobile communication device to send, read, or write a text message while driving in a school zone on official school days and during hours when the school zone is in effect creates a particular danger or probability of danger to school children traveling to and from schools and other educational facilities in the City; and WHEREAS, the City Council believes that prohibiting the use of hand-held mobile telephones to engage in calls or mobile communication devices to send, read, or write text messages while driving in active school zones, with certain defenses, would further protect the public health, safety, and welfare, especially of school-aged children.

Discussion On March 25, 2008, Railroad Controls Limited (RCL) presented a Quiet Zone Evaluation report. The report identified improvements necessary at all thirteen crossings in the City of Wylie to establish quiet zones. The projected cost of the improvements is $234,950 assuming the railroad upgrades the crossing at FM 1378 to constant warning time circuitry in the next twelve months. The scope of work identified in the proposal includes project management, diagnostic team review, grade crossing inventory forms, quiet zone submittals, and design services.

Recommendation Motion to approve Ordinance No. 2008-21 amending Ordinance No. 2007-29 (2007-2008 Budget) and approving an appropriation of funds in the amount of$715,000 for the Park Acquisition and Improvement Fund for the Olde City Park Land Acquisition and Improvement Project; add $330,000 to the Park Acquisition and Improvement Fund revenues to reflect reimbursements made by Collin County; authorize the City Manager to use funds collected in the East and West zones in the Central zone for the Olde City Park Land Acquisition and Improvement Project, requiring those funds to be reimbursed when additional revenues are available in the Central zone; providing for repealing, savings and severability clauses; and providing for an effective date of this ordinance. Discussion In previous Council action occurring on June 26, 2007, Council approved Resolution 2007-17(R) authorizing submittal of a grant application to Collin County for Olde City Park Land Acquisition and Improvements project. The City was awarded $330,000 in matching funds from the County, and on November 13, 2007, the Council passed Resolution 2007-37(R) approving an interlocal agreement with Collin County to proceed with the project. By acquisition of three parcels of land, two owned by Kansas City Southern Railroad (KCS), and one owned by the County, this project will enlarge the existing Olde City Park. Other improvements include the installation of underground drainage, a 25 space lighted parking lot, restrooms, concrete sidewalks, landscaping, irrigation, benches, tables, etc. Because of the uncertainty of the potential amount of the grant award and the cost of acquiring the parcels, these expenditures and revenues were not included as part of the 2007-2008 budget. After receiving authorization Page 1 of 2 Page 2 of 2 from City Council, staff has successfully negotiated with KCS to purchase the two parcels which they own. Representatives from Collin County have indicated that once the City acquires the two KCS parcels thus becoming the adjacent property owner to the parcel owned by the County, the County will sell its parcel to the City. After all land acquisition has been completed, work can begin on the installation of the above improvements. The current Statement of Revenues and Expenditures of the Park Acquisition and Improvement Fund (attached) shows a total fund balance of $722,946. The total cost of the Olde City Park Land Acquisition and Improvement Project is estimated to be $715,000. As expenditures are made throughout the course of this project, staff will submit reimbursement requests to the County totaling $330,000. Net "out-of-pocket" expenditures for the City will be approximately $385,000. This project is located in the Central zone. There are currently not enough funds available in the Central zone to proceed with the project. Upon recommendation of the Park Board and approval of the City Council, Section 78-73 of the City of Wylie Code of Ordinances allows parkland dedication funds from any and all park zones to be combined for special purposes with or without the option to reimburse the contributing zones. At the March 24, 2008 Park Board meeting, the Board recommended that funds in the East and West zones be combined for the special purpose of the Olde City Park Land Acquisition and Improvement project. They also recommended that the East and West zones be reimbursed upon receipt of additional revenues in the Central zone. The Alanis Crossing development, a subdivision located in the Central zone, is required to pay approximately $300,000 in parkland fees when development begins. When this revenue is received, it would be sufficient to reimburse the East and West zones. Approval of this item will allow for the implementation of the project.

We mainly provide landscape architectural services out of two offices, our Richardson and Austin offices; this project will be led out of our Richardson office. We are consistently ranked in Engineering News Record magazine's list of the top 500 design firms in the United States. Halff Associates' primary line of business is engineering; however, the firm's staff of more than 550 includes landscape architects, planners, architects, surveyors, and environmental scientists.

Having worked with the city of Wylie on the Founders Park—Community Sports Complex, Halff Associates' Landscape Architecture & Planning Group has a unique advantage in that we are familiar with city staff, the Parks Board, citizens, culture and locale. David Littleton, QA/QC, and a member of Halff's Civil Engineering Team, is currently working with the city of Wylie to develop the future site known as the "Wells Property". Halff's knowledge base of the project as well as the working D experience with city staff will minimize the learning curve, allowing for more creative development of the project. 2 2 2 iwi HALFF rr Subconsu Cants Raymond Turco & Associates Raymond Turco & Associates will be responsible for conducting public opinion surveys, focus groups, and analy¢tiing input received from citizens. Mr. Turco's firm has been performing citizen input surveys statewide for the past 20+ years, and in fact has probably completed more recreation based telephone surveys in Texas than any other public opinion firm operating in Texas today. Raymond Turco & Associates has worked extensively with Halff Associates on many parks, open space, and trails master plans over the years. This firm is equally comfortable with mail out surveys or telephone surveys. The data collected through the public opinion process is extensive and invaluable when considering all levels of the parks and open space master plan. Brinkley Sargent Architects Brinkley Sargent Architects (BSA) is a 31-year-old Dallas-based firm specializing in the development of public facilities. This specialization has included both recreational/aquatic and public safety projects ranging up to $40 million in size. Firm Senior Principals have directed projects up to $50 million in project size. The firm prides itself in not only providing its clients with technically proficient designs, but with 3 aesthetically pleasing facilities that make appropriate statements to their staff and the community. The firm has been fortunate to be honored for design excellence not only by its peers but also by user groups 3 such as Athletic Business and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. 3 Brinkley Sargent Architects has completed two projects with the city of Wylie. On the first project, their planning team developed a city-wide needs assessment from 2003-2004 in which a proposed plan 3 was established for future facilities and reuse of current buildings/sites. From this plan, Brinkley Sargent developed several options of development based on prioritized need. These options were used by the city administration and council to set bond initiatives that were subsequently passed. The city has begun the implementation of this plan with the development of new facilities. During the second project, which took place in 2005, Brinkley Sargent worked with the Wylie Police staff to renovate and 3 expand the animal control space of the public safety building. 3 :Ns HALFF 2 to ., {i 1�f ' _s,. q V�� �+T+A0",..

HALFF 7 �t� .4;: P� #,c h _. er P Coppell Town Center Plaza PROJECT QUICK FACTS Coppell, Texas City/Agency 3 Halff Associates was contracted to design an urban plaza and park City of Coppell in front of the Coppell Town Center. The goal was to provide a Population 3 space that can be used for civic festivities, while unifying the 39,000 +/- surrounding public and civic buildings. Start/Completion Dates 2006-2008 The site analysis revealed a number of constriction situations. The site is elongated between the Town Center and a low lying area Potential Cost of Plan that receives the majority of the site's runoff, and is pinched by the Improvements elementary school grounds and Justice Center in the middle. The $2.2 million school grounds extend to a corner right in front and center of the Contact main façade of the Town Center at a distance of l 50 feet. A Brad Reid, Director of Parks and 3 cursory investigation rendered this situation extremely constraining Recreation, (972) 462-5100 in achieving the desired result. However, an opportunity was rxiircri_ 2 realized to change these limiting factors into a positive. The result _ is the inclusion of the school property into a larger space and to • '`� 1 mark the corner of the school grounds with a 65 foot tower that a will serve as a sun dial. The aim is to have both the city and 'l �'�4 school "own" the tower and space surrounding it as if it is "their , ...® 3 a tower." The opposite low end of the site is ideal for the realization of a water element that brings sparkle and movement to the design. : Realizing that the acceptance of a design solution by all the entities 3 surrounding the site is essential to achieve the best result, various _ '' , x �,� meeting were held to describe the goals of the project, discuss the 33 � �, analysis plan and have each entity share their concern with the . �;1, c �� project.

The goal with 5- each public meeting was to get the participants excited about a \ 3 project that will be beneficial and supporting to their own goals as much as to the Coppell community at large. a The design solution involves a combination of very different concepts including: '•1'-, �` '4•`''•' - Concept A: Creating rooms: a sequence of rooms separated by �A , �-'t _ ' , ,�= "pinched'. openings. - 11 -'`� , ' �' " 3 Concept B: Sight lines: cut from a "forest" not unlike the 17 , ',r� century French gardens.

The final plan may be described as follows: 3 The area in front of the Town Center building is a large gathering plaza, terminated by the 65 foot sun dial tower. The focus of the plaza in the shape of an amphitheater is the Town Center building itself. In fact the building façade is seen as the ideal backdrop for a production involving opera, theater, dance and music. The tower itself is designed in such a manner that it speaks to the school, speaks to the Town Center building and speaks to the open space that stretches along the long axis of the site. The terminus of this axis 3 is designed to be a pond with hard edge, walkway, fountains and a reflecting pavilion. Looking back to the Town Center the building is viewed along a vista framed by trees. 3 An ample amount of trees provide much needed shade especially at a seating are with wireless internet 3 connections. Trees are also used to create access boulevards from the surrounding shared parking areas to the plaza and park. Wide gateways mark the entrances welcoming the visitor to step into a comfortable and 3 beautiful space. Walkways provide connections between the surrounding buildings and invite strollers, hikers and joggers alike to use the entire site for exercise, people-watching and contemplation. In this plan the verticality of the sun dial tower contrasts with the horizontality of water; exposed turf and plaza surfaces contrast with intimate and shady spaces; and long extended vistas contrast with short focused views. The plan provides functional yet aesthetically pleasing connections between the various public and 7/ civic services. 3 -.

Project Methodology a) l--lalff's Process and Planning Methodology , Halff Associates and its staff have prepared more than 30 citywide parks master plans and have been a part of meny other regional and citywide recreation planning efforts. These have been prepared for f municipalities, for counties, and for Texas Parks and Wildlife. During the preparation of these plans, Halff has often addressed major issues similar to those facing the City of Wylie. Our approach follows a methodology with the following key issues: 1 Key Issues 1 Coordination with Current Planning Efforts: Raiff is proposing to focus on the parks, recreation, and open space, but is very familiar with other aspects of planning. We will coordinate our team's efforts with other ongoing planning efforts and other firms to ensure continuity. Ordinance Review: Halff will review the current dedication ordinance to determine if adjustments are needed. We will review other ordinances, such as subdivision requirements and floodplain reviews, to determine where changes may also be required. Incorporate New 10-Year Plan Time Frame and Requirements: As per updated directives (January 2005), TPWD now permits Parks Master Plans to cover a ten-year period between updates. Our recent parks master plans usually carry out this process by covering multiple five-year time frames for immediate and medium range improvements—creating a ten-year plan—as well as longer-term actions well beyond the ten years. Our long-term planning approach is well suited for the extended time frame proposed for the city of Wylie Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan. This allows you to plan ahead and respond to recreation or grant opportunities as they arise. We also include sections addressing renovation, another key change in TPWD requirements. a Focus on the Physical Qualities of the City of Wylie: The city of Wylie has beautiful creeks and natural vegetation. These features, if carefully and selectively preserved and utilized, can make the city memorable and allow it to stand out as a place of natural beauty in the Metroplex. Our linear creek plan for Allen was prepared using similar principles, established the framework by which the city of 3 Allen has and will develop into one of the premier cities in Texas in which to live. Unlike most park planners, we believe in looking at more than just ball fields and playgrounds in a park planning process. Halff understands, and our plans convey, the importance of parks and greenbelts in establishing the uniqueness of a community. Look at New Ideas for Parks: There are many new trends and ideas in the recreation industry. Recreation today is much more sophisticated than the traditional ball fields and playgrounds approach, and really ties into the future economic health of the city. We will bring many of these fresh and new ideas to the planning process. Produce a Park Plan that Can Communicate: A key part of the process is being able to 3 communicate the desired vision. Unlike many parks master plans that are often "dry" and uninteresting, we use an array of graphic techniques to convey ideas, including sketches and very quick "before and after" views, as well as highly graphic plans. These are techniques are key to getting your citizens excited about the possibilities in Wylie. Balanced Network of Parks and Community Facilities of Various Sizes, with X Adequate Distribution by Region: Our parks and recreation master plans identify the key types of parks, such as neighborhood, community, linear, etc. and key facilities, such as playgrounds, ball 3 42 3 sri HALFF '. , w t Vie.. fields, and basketball courts that are appropriate for each particular community. We then divide the city into sectors or quadrants, and determine whether the supply of those park types is adequate for each sector. For example, the 2002 Parks Master Plan that we prepared for the city of Mansfield identified a more than adequate supply of athletic fields, but a real need for neighborhood parks. In two quadrants the city of Mansfield, one with a population exceeding 14,000 residents, had no neighborhood parks at all. Just like we did for the city of Mansfield our planning process will quickly identify where key needs are. # Ensure that all People of Different Ages and Abilities have Access to Community Services Facilities: Our master plans always focus on providing a variety of community services and recreational facilities. A significant amount of public input is necessary to allow citizens of various age groups to present their recreational needs and desires. Trails are used by the young and old alike for • both passive leisurely walking or for very active running or cycling, and are an excellent example of a facility that addresses recreational needs for a variety of age groups. Provide Connectivity to Neighborhood and Community Parks through Trails, r Greenway, and Open Space Planning: Halff believes in the value of creating a parks system that is interconnected through trails, greenbelts, and creeks. Our plans also aim to connect parks with surrounding neighborhoods through the strategic placement of trailheads and park entrance gateways that communicate the character and quality of the parks system. In addition to Halff's repertoire of parks master plans, we have completed numerous trails master plans and combination parks and trails 9 master plans that link parks and community. Coordinate with Other Providers of Community Service/Recreational Facilities: During the course of preparing a citywide Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan, we conduct interviews and meetings with many other entities that may become partners in funding or operating community service /recreation facilities. These entities certainly include the local school district, but may also include Collin County (also Dallas and Rockwall Counties), state and federal governments, Texas Parks and Wildlife, other nearby communities (to consider the feasibility of joint venturing large expensive facilities), local colleges or hospitals (for therapeutic trails or play areas), and large employers who may have an interest in facilities for their employees. The process identifies the needs and interests of these entities, and identifies where they can match the city's needs. Implement an Ongoing, Proactive and Sustainable Management Plan to Address Park Needs: Our master plans include an action plan, which identifies the key recreation needs and establishes a time line to address each key need. It identifies potential funding sources for each need, 3 and often includes a capital improvements program. The plan will identify not only new park needs, but also key areas in existing parks that must be addressed. We address staff issues, so the correct balance 3 of operational staff is maintained as new facilities are added. Address Staffing and Operational Issues: Most park plans say nothing about the most important aspect of all, namely the level of care and maintenance that is needed. Halff believes strongly, 3 and our plans reflect it, that adequate staff and funding allocations are just as important as having enough ball fields or green space. Your plan should address this very critical area, and we will help you determine the correct level for your city. a Identify and Implement Financial and Regulatory Systems to Support the Implementation of the Plan's Recommendations: Establishing funding for the many park and recreation needs of a city is a key part of the master planning process. Funding can come from a 3 wig HALFF 43 • �r LL wR 4.001 ` ' 0 variety of sources, including bonds, grants, donations of land or services, key partnerships, and small expenditures from the general fund. Our planning process reviews each facility recommendation for its grant potential. We consider ways in which the development community can provide parks as new 110 residential development occurs, or where economic development funds can be used to impact the physical flppearance of the city. Halff has addressed each of these key areas many times, and understands how each issue works together to create a good parks plan. Our track record of successful and well-received park plans attests to the 11 fact that we have been comprehensive in our park plan development, and will create a visionary, yet achievable, park plan for the city of Wylie. Identify Areas for Open Space Preservation: Halff understands the role of open space as an important resource for recreation in a city. In fact Halff strongly supports the idea that a Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan comprises exactly what its name indicates: "Parks" refers to land dedicated to outdoor areas programmed for "Recreation" which refers to both active and passive recreation activities including ball play,jogging, picnicking, etc. "Open Space" refers to land dedicated I for conservation and preservation due to its ecological values, wildlife habitat quality, cultural significance, and its functional role in assisting with ecological services, including flood management, etc. In the Parks Master Plans that Halff prepares, we consistently call for the strategic dedication of open space to ensure the protection of valuable natural areas and vulnerable resources, to attain and preserve a sense of rural character in the city environment and to add to the recreational experiences in the city. We will study the landscapes and natural environments of Wylie to understand all the elements and resources that have conservation value, that are vulnerable and that add character to the city. We will make specific recommendations for the recreational use and conservation of these landscapes and natural environments in the city. Particularly with regards to creeks, our philosophy is as follows: # Creeks and drainage ways have a tremendous recreation and open space value for the community. Our team understands that creeks and drainage ways have important aesthetical appeal. We also have a good understanding of the potential of creeks and drainage ways to provide physical linkages and connections to various destination points in the city, by means of a network of trails. Muddy Creek in the city of Wylie provides an excellent opportunity for a north-south trail linkage through the city with linkages to surrounding cities, whereas Rush Creek provides the potential for a connection from the inner parts of the city via a small section of the neighboring city of Rowlett. to Lake Ray Hubbard. Creeks and drainage ways have an important ecological value. The linear configuration of creeks and drainage ways make them extremely valuable as landscape corridors for wildlife. Animals and birds move up and down these corridors for their protection and to forage. From a biological point of view these corridors in themselves create plant and animal gene pool connections between larger natural areas. Recognizing the ecological value of creeks leads to better management and the opportunity for education and various "nature experiences." Our team includes an environmental scientist with 11 tremendous experience in plant and animal communities. In conclusion, Halff recognizes the opportunity to combine the aesthetic appeal, ecological value and recreation opportunities of creeks, drainage ways, topographic change, natural vegetation, and other natural features, in order to celebrate the unique qualities of the city of Wylie, provide exciting nature • and recreational experiences, reveal the beauty of natural landscapes, and explore educational opportunities. I * amp F ALFF 44 p . . ,fe _440 AD- Hike and Bike Trail Plan Review In 1903, the Olmsted Brothers said: "A connected system of parks and parkways is manifestly far more complete and useable than a series 11 of isolated parks. " This quote spurred the development of a metropolitan region that is today nationally recognized for its high quality of life due to its integration of urban development within a rich resource of open space. The framework laid out by the Olmsted's over 100 years ago remains equally valid today and the completion of this vision remains a worthy pursuit of both citizens and public agencies throughout the country. In reviewing the potential for hike and bike trail connections in the city of Wylie, we will keep the concept of connectedness and linkages strongly in mind. A citywide trails and greenways master plan is often an important and integral part of Halff's parks master planning process. In fact, Halff believes that trails, open space, bikeways and walkways are critical components of a livable community. Trails and open space offer numerous benefits from air and water quality improvements, habitat enhancement, reduced dependency on automobiles, a stronger community identity, recreation opportunities, and improved public health. A comprehensive system of trails, bikeways, walkways, and connected parks and open spaces will help harness development and funding opportunities as the city of Wylie grows, and provide the city with a tool that captures resources for trails and open space before they are lost to other forms of development. 31 I I 1/ p I p S I p sum HALFF45 MAT( 4 Nimme ft b) Halff s Approach to Parks Master Planning for the City of Wylie Halff's approach recognizes the importance of the planning process. Opportunities to plan for the future come only every few years, and they should be tackled with a real commitment to produce an excellent, one of a lirind parks master plan that conveys enthusiasm and vision, along with technical data that supports key decisions. The points below illustrate the dedication, commitment and quality that our approach brings to your parks master plan. We produce a custom plan, not a "cookie cutter" reproduction —Unlike others in the 1 field of system-wide park and recreation planning, we create customized plans for each community, and not some formulaic plan that looks just like everyone else's plan. Because of this, Halff parks plans are widely respected throughout the state. We are not afraid to think outside the box and to suggest ideas that are not commonly done if they make sense for you. We emphasize providing what the citizens of Wylie want — More than anything else, the process used to develop our parks master plans and the vision behind them focuses on what your citizens want, and not what we want to see happen. We certainly don't create plans with the idea of creating future design work for ourselves, in a way that others may do. We use the planning process to set and communicate the Vision —Too many parks and recreation plans are dry documents that don't get anyone excited. This plan is more than a document — it should be treated as a time to revisit your system and create a vision for the future of parks, recreation, open space and trails in Wylie that builds on your accomplishments to date. The format, the plan itself, the ideas, the sketches and concepts that are produced, all of these should work toward getting your staff, elected officials, and most of all your citizens, excited by what can be done for the parks system in the future. We include an extensive amount of public participation and fact gathering —Public I participation today means reaching out to your citizens, rather than just announcing a meeting and having people come to it. We focus on multiple mechanisms to receive input. For Wylie, that could include 1) a scientifically valid telephone survey, 2) an internet based citizens survey 3) a facility intercept citizen survey, 4) school-aged youth survey, 5) many individual interviews with key citizens, providers, and groups, 6) citizen focus groups including meetings with leagues and recreation 1 organizations, 7) interviews with key city staff and elected officials, and even 8) a public "forum" in a central location over the span of several days or an entire month, where citizens can come on their own 1 time and comment on the plan. The parks and recreation planning process, more than anything else, is time and effort intensive and requires a firm that is committed to spending the time to find out what your citizens want to see done in the next few years. 1 Market Assessment — Part of our planning process includes a review of what other communities are offering, to provide facilities and recreation offerings that are unique and that have a higher chance of success. We look at national and state trends, including the latest sporting goods survey data. 1 We use the best telephone survey research firm in Texas —For years we have partnered with Raymond Turco and Associates, who has completed more than 30 recreation system surveys throughout Texas, including telephone surveys for the city of Wylie 2003 Parks Master Plan and the city of Wylie 2003 Comprehensive Plan as well as numerous telephone and mail surveys for the Wylie Independent School District. I D �) HALFF Our plan will prepare Wylie for future rounds of park and trail grants — Our approach will focus on preparing the city for possible grant submissions through the TPWD and also on identifying potential trail grant projects through upcoming federally-funded grant sources. These may or may not be right for Wylie, but we will assess them as part of the process of identifying funding sources. We use levels of service created for Wylie, and not just based on NRPA standards — Too many parks and open space plans continue to focus on comparisons to national NRPA standards or to what other cities are doing, rather than going to a locally based "level of service" standard. All of p Halff's plans are developed specifically to meet the needs of the citizens of that community, and are not based on a national or state number that may not have any meaning to Wylie's residents. Our master plans respect private property concerns —Where plan ideas may wind through 0 neighborhoods, we choose to work closely with neighborhood groups to respect their concerns about issues that concern them, rather than simply ignoring them. Acceptable to Texas Parks and Wildlife — Halff plans are well received by TPWD review staff, simply because they know that the plans are in depth, tailor-made for each individual community, and truly focus on what the citizens of that community want. Up to date with the latest TPWD changes to grant funding — Even as this proposal is being prepared, TPWD is in the process of changing requirements for TPWD grant funding. The firm selected for this process should be absolutely up to date with TPWD's latest thinking, even if those potential changes have not been officially ratified by the TPWD Commission yet. Include the conceptualizing of "mini" master plans for undeveloped or potentially new land acquisitions —Too often, master plans include maps and other dry items and don't really present ideas for how parks should be developed. Our recent plans include a concept development stage that helps define what citizens want and that helps build excitement. Use our Team's experience with fast growing communities — many of the master plans we 0 have created or are currently working on are for fast growing cities. These include Lancaster, Mansfield and Waxahachie. The needs faced by such communities must focus not only on today but also try to 1 understand what the needs of the future will be and how best to address them. r Create a plan that sets Wylie apart from other nearby communities — Wylie should have a distinctive character that sets it on a different level from the other cities in the region. Wylie's goals should be different from those set for Plano, Frisco and Allen. 0 Communicate with this plan —the plan should be easily understood, and include concepts, sketches, ideas, photographs and other mechanisms to convey where the system is and where the 0 citizens of Wylie want it to go. Wylie deserves a special, one of a kind plan. A Brief Summary of Our Approach to Citywide Parks Master Planning Our proposed master planning process includes the following key elements. Extensive Citizen Input, including a multi-day informal "review room" where citizens can come look at ideas. Custom developed levels of service for Wylie, rather than older NRPA standards. A Telephone Survey, as well as a web survey (one is unbiased; the other may allow more contact but can generate biased results). 0 An area market assessment that reviews competitive offerings in nearby cities. 1 ; • HALFF 47 I • a�4 � .. - •`iF1�*�� • me}µ 4 .110, • • The development of concepts and improvements for key parks or potential land acquisitions to build excitement. • Refinement as appropriate to your trail plan.

PRODUCT METHODOLOGY & SCHEDULE 'f Schedule Planning Methodology and Approach Our team understands that in order for the Parks, Recreation and Open Space 00 Master Plan to be a useful tool for the City of Wylie, it must address the needs 00 and desires of the City staff, boards and commissions and citizens. It must provide a framework for the orderly development of parks, trails and open space Of and assure equitable distribution of facilities and recreational programming OP throughout the City. It also must be a plan that the City can implement. We propose that this plan be a streamlined, action-oriented document that conforms Of to Texas Parks and Wildlife's new guidelines and provides a practical framework 00 for creative decision making into the future. 00 We understand that you are planning for a nine-month to twelve-month goal for 00 master plan completion and approvals. Our planning process will include the following elements: - Month 1 -2 Project Kick-off Meeting We recommend utilizing a project kick-off meeting to organize the public opinion 41 survey questionnaire and schedule focus group and public meetings. Progress and coordination meetings with staff, board(s) and commission(s) should also be penciled in during this initial meeting. These milestones, established early 00 in the process, will keep things moving towards the completion goal. Further, this meeting should be used to establish lines of communication and the staff's 00 desires and intentions regarding the planning process and expected outcomes. Park and Recreation Facilities Inventory/Supply Analysis With assistance from the staff and the City's existing master plan, we will inventory and evaluate all existing parks and recreation facilities in Wylie, which will provide a basis for assessing the City's present and future needs for parkland and recreational facilities. Our work will include visitations to all parks, 006 recreation facilities, educational institutions and open space tracts. We will also review the City's existing and future land use plans to evaluate their impact on parks and recreation. Population/Demographic Analysis We will prepare a population and demographics analysis for the community that 006 will include current population and projections in five-year increments for the life of the plan: income levels, family characteristics, growth rates, etc. These data will be used in the development of the parks and recreation needs assessment for the City of Wylie. 00 00 00 PIN O OO Month 3-4 Demand Analysis The Demand Analysis will be a major focus of this project. We will provide a combination of methods for gathering citizen ideas and providing opportunities Sri for their participation in the planning process: a public opinion survey focus O 0 groups and community meetings. Public Opinion Survey -With assistance from the staff, our team will 00 develop a custom-designed questionnaire and conduct a telephone survey, with O 0 the expectation of obtaining at least 400 completed questionnaires. A detailed report of the survey results will be provided and made part of the master plan. O 0 Written surveys may be included as desired by the staff. Focus Groups- Using a professional meeting facilitator, we recommend conducting several focus group meetings with key stakeholders in the 010 community such as sports associations, seniors, environmental groups, trail 00 users, and/or others that may be identified by staff. A summary report of each meeting will be provided and made part of the master plan. Community Meetings-This larger format meeting, also conducted O 0 by the team's meeting facilitator, offers the opportunity for citizens to review progress in the planning process and offer their views. With the proposed meeting plan, there could be a public meeting in each of the geographic sectors plus one or more city-wide meeting. Again the facilitator will provide a report on 10. each meeting. moo Local Standards Working with the staff, we will analyze and develop acreage and facility 00 standards specifically for the City of Wylie. This will begin with a review of the O 0 standards in the previous master plan. NRPA and other available standards and recreation and community planning trends will be referenced, but local 01 needs and desires will take precedence. We will review park service areas and proposed locations for future facilities in the plan for applicability to current conditions and suggest revisions as necessary. Month 5- 6 Goals and Objectives Working with staff, goals and objectives of the previous plan will be reviewed O 111. and updated. Results of public participation will also bear on these revisions. Resource Analysis Building on the work of the previous master plan, we will update critical environmental, historical and cultural resources for preservation. The standards, together with community demographics and the results of citizen participation will be used to develop the needs assessment for land acquisition, recreational facility development, and expansion of the trail system. Emphasis O 0 will be given to potential joint use facilities to reduce the need for duplicate facilities and expenditures. owl 100 010 Needs Assessment 010 Using the data gathered from the community meetings, focus groups, surveys, consultant research, demographics, standards analysis, and resource analysis, a needs assessment for the City will be developed. The needs will reflect current, five-year and ten-year conditions. This section will also include a summary of the methodology used to arrive at the stated conclusions and aspects of Wylie's uniqueness that resulted in findings that differ from the standard. Qualitative issues will be addressed along with the standard quantitative needs. Among these will be universal accessibility and facility safety. Month 7- 8 Environmental and Open Space Preservation Plan 00 We will review current City and county mapping, floodplain data and aerial photography. Site visits will be made to the significant sites as identified by staff. Along with a map, narrative and photographs will be provided for each 00 site. Recommendation and Priorities • Building on the needs assessment and with staff input, we will draft an action plan encompassing land, facilities, natural and cultural resources, and leisure service programs. Recommendations will include built and proposed facilities and programs. In addition we will provide recommendations for revisions to existing ordinances and subdivision regulations. These will be formatted with Texas Parks and Wildlife grant opportunities in mind. They will be provided in a matrix format showing estimated cost, schedule for implementation, and funding methods/sources. 010 Implementing the Plan The full range of funding sources and methodologies will be explored, including grant opportunities with Texas Parks and Wildlife, Collin County and the Trust �r for Public Lands. Development of partnerships will also be explored, including collaboration with neighboring cities, agencies, counties, private providers, 1010 schools, businesses and other entities in the delivery of quality recreational and cultural services to the community. Cost Estimating General cost estimates (for budgeting purposes)for land acquisition, development, construction, and maintenance and operations will be provided for both recommended new facilities and renovation of old facilities r!0 Parks and Recreation Department Staffing 0/10 We will provide an assessment of Parks and Recreation Department staffing and make recommendations for a 5-10 year organization chart. .�i 0 ISO .r► 010 Month 1 -9 Mapping We will develop a digital map from files supplied by the City in a suitable format 0/0 that will serve as a base for the following: • Recreation program needs by location • Recreation and park facility needs by location • Location map • Study area map 0110 • Existing conditions map • Open space preservation map • Hike and bike trail plan Month 6-9 Wells Property Master Plan We will develop a master plan for the Wells Property and make OOP recommendations for the future use of the existing Library and Community vj Center. This process can run concurrently with the park and recreation planning process. Surveys and focus groups would provide opportunities to test ideas for 01110 and gather public input on the development of this property. The plan can be as sae simple as a concept or as detailed as a master plan of development with opinion of probable construction cost and phasing. ONO Month 9- 12 Draft Master Plan Review We will provide staff with a draft copy of the master plan for review. Revisions will be made to the plan as recommended by staff. Master Plan Approvals We will present the master plan to City Council (or other approval body as desired)for approval.
