school drop-off and pick-up at Reynolds Middle School. There has been an increase in cars
stopping on Wilson Drive, Gray Lane, Dave Trail, and Bryan Street. Mr. DaCosta requested the

Items for Individual Consideration:
15. Conduct a public hearing and consider and act upon Ordinance 2024-78 to
amend Planned Development-26 (Prosper Business Park), on 71.1± acres, to

Business Park, Block B, Lot 9, located on the northeast corner of Mike Howard
Lane and Safety Way. (ZONE-24-0023) (DH)
Mr. Hoover presented this item stating the request to amend the PD is to allow for a
reduced side yard setback adjacent to Technology Lane. The amendment would only
permit the reduction to Lot 9. However, the reduced side yard setback would provide
additional screening for the storage yard to the east of the development. The Planning
and Zoning Commission recommended approval with no notices received. Staff is
recommending approval.
Mayor Bristol opened the public hearing.
No comments were made.
Mayor Bristol closed the public hearing.

Mr. Baker presented the item providing an overview of the original budget and funding

irrigation, the hike and bike trail, tennis courts, and multipurpose field irrigation if the
Council approves the Change Order. The anticipated completion date of the park is
Summer 2025. The CIP Subcommittee reviewed this item and recommended
approving the Change Order with the following caveats: to not fund the well until a
solution can be developed, to approve the bid alternates for the tennis courts, the
multipurpose fields irrigation, and the trail project.
The Town Council discussed the recommendations provided by the CIP Subcommittee,
including the hike and bike trail, the multipurpose field, and the well.

the north side, and a ten -foot sidewalk on the south side of the roadway. The proposed

concerns on the south side of First Street, the staff is seeking feedback to consider
either relocating the ten -foot sidewalk to the north side of the roadway or reducing the
width of the sidewalk to eight feet.
Councilmember Reeves provided feedback received from residents who expressed
concerns about speeding. Councilmember Andres questioned if reducing the size of the
sidewalk would affect the right-of-way for utility work. Mr. Webb commented that it would
not, and they would have the necessary access.
