property is located on FM2818 and Wellborn Road. The developer is interested in donating
five acres, which when combined with Southwest Park, would to bring the park up to 10
acres. The proposal exceeds. his dedication requirement. The Board was in favor of the
proposed dedication. Ric stated that there is a possibility for a greenbelt .linkage with this
dedication.
4. Discussion .and Consideration of Potential Parkland Dedication in Park Zone 10:
Mike McClure, McClure Engineering,: displayed a site plan with a proposed park depicted on
it. Mr. McClure requested the acceptance of the 12-acre tract of land fora park and that the
monies currently available in Zane 10 be utilized immediately for the development of the
park. He stated that the area is wooded. with a creek running through it. He also said that
none of the area is floodplan as defined by FEMA, but that area has not been mapped by the
city. The far left of the Eract is not wooded and has an existing stock tank which they plan to
fill in. They will do some storm water retention with a berm along the back of one of the cul-
de-sacs. Their dedication requirements just over 2 acres. There. is currently $43,875 in that
zone that .:could be used for preliminary development of the park, if accepted. There will be
public hearings to get citizen input for development. John motioned to accept the proposed
dedication,. Gary seconded,. and the motion carried.
5. Presentation and Discussion of Revisions to the Wolf Pen Creek Master Plan: Steve
reviewed the master plan. He stated'thaf about 35% of the corridor has been developed, with
most of that being commercial. He said that all of the multi-family .residential that has already
occurred in the corridor was not part of the original plan and will be discouraged in the
future. The original plan showed commercial development such as restaurants and retail
f
shops. Steve stated that one of the limiting factors at the amphitheater is the lack of adequate
dressing rooms backstage. There are some recommendations for the. development of
additional dressing facilities adjacent to the amphitheater. In the Drainage Utility District
there is $1.3 million earmarked for drainage improvements in the corridorbetween Texas and
Dartmouth. The current. estimate for the Tax Increment Financing District is approximately
$2.3 million generated on the remaining. l l years left. There is approximately $100,000 in
parkland dedication funds which could also be used for improvements to the park.
Steve stated that a silf study was conducted and that the lakes in the original plan will not be
able to be constructed due to the silt problem, bank stabilization, and Lack of funds to clean
out the lakes on a regular basis. The current lake will be reconstructed to a widened channel
with landscaped banks on both sides. The width will be determined by the reach of the
equipment usedto clean it out.
John stated that the bikeway trail that leads up to Texas Avenue should be designed to go
under Texas at the box culverts and could be partially funded through grants.
Steve stated that the plan has been updated and recommendations were developed after
gathering information from the public workshops. that were held last year on Wolf Pen Creek.
He stated that the process is currently in the public review process with the Parks &
Recreation Board, the Tax Increment .Financing Board and Planning .and Zoning. After
gathering input from the three Boards, final recommendations will then go to the City Council
in May.

proposal would be an amendment to the fees approved by Council for 1998 and 1999. These
fees would be generated and used specifically for softball facilities' improvements on existing

being implemented. The motion carried.

and Alexandria function as these collectors. The rezoning and master preliminary plat comply with the
Comprehensive Plan for development in this area.
Ms. Kee explained that Staff has been working with property owners in this area over the past several
months to define thoroughfare locations. Southern Plantation is shown. to decrease from a 70 foot
right-of--way to 60 feet through these new phases. This complies with the minor collector shown on the
thoroughfare plan.

creek and detention area but no established floodplain on any phase of the property.
Chairman Massey opened the public hearing.
Mr. Mike McClure, Project Engineer for the Property, explained that the detention facility would be
different from the Edelweiss model. The existing terrain is wooded and they would only clear enough
for building of the berm. He also explained that the applicant, in meeting with the Parks Board,
requested that the money set aside from parkland dedications in this zone be used to develop this park
immediately. He understood that the Parks Board intended to develop as much of the park as possible

platted in the mid-1980's for a fraternity subdivision with a commercial use at the intersection. The
