Public Works staff explained that when the project originally bid in 2022, town right-of-way constraints limited the work to an asphalt short-term connection. Since then, developer BlueStar secured additional right-of-way for the southbound lanes and built part of the southbound section; staff combined those plans with the town’s scope to complete four permanent lanes. Project managers analyzed two construction sequencing options: keep traffic open with a long detour (higher cost) or close the road for a shorter, direct construction period. The council approved the lower-cost option, accepting a temporary full closure for accelerated work.

The change order totals $1,916,019. Staff said BlueStar’s development agreement will cover approximately $1,000,000 of that amount, leaving the town’s participation near $880,000. If the change order is executed, crews will close the segment beginning Friday, March 21, aiming for substantial completion by July. Staff noted the closure was timed to align with school boundary patterns and the upcoming school-year schedule to reduce traffic disruption for students and families.

Councilmembers discussed communication with residents and the school district, contingency options to accelerate completion and median/landscape staging decisions. Public Works and communications staff plan message boards, HOA outreach and town communications about detours and closure timing. A councilmember also asked staff to explore incentives to encourage faster completion; the contractor indicated it would evaluate schedule options if asked.

A motion to approve the change order and authorize the town manager to execute it passed unanimously. The action funds the added permanent work, authorizes road closure construction sequencing and directs staff to coordinate notifications, traffic control and project monitoring.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Prosper - Town Council - Mar 11, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Council unanimously approved Change Order No. 4 for CSP 2022-51B with Cinnacola & Sons (contractor) to construct a permanent four-lane section of Legacy Drive from First Street north, adding $1,916,019 to the contract; the town’s net share is about $880,000 after developer contributions and work is scheduled to start March 21 and finish by July.","taxTitle","Prosper, Collin County, Texas","taxId",54250,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6640360,"Council approves Prosper Legacy preliminary site plan with condition to revise drive‑thru configuration",860,2950000,3810000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2556054-da669ae6ab6ef6350f9fc019a64e1aa0&start=2950&end=3810","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2556054-da669ae6ab6ef6350f9fc019a64e1aa0/thumbnail_2950000.jpg","/articles/6640360/Prosper/Collin-County/Texas/Council-approves-Prosper-Legacy-preliminary-site-plan-with-condition-to-revise-drivethru-configuration","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6640360-433e6a069bb643c6496683262fee4d84/orig.mp4?Expires=1775383271&Signature=auUkKKV1eHU0i2jveukjCZrXaqJUQNTeRioHzWomVbsG4mTwevo~d4vc6xTPyBcBOVboZVFP4fhPkSv808WhUoEGw1rFi7uO9fcluhfnmmXozcJWmL~fmfEIum1-g1DSAjnThuVh76yUW8y4W57sZ38m1pvwVkSWFxHlBvkw5ax9gN22uB2YMXljpUfgRFIgaPTdS1civezi09UlaU1fGYaTsFiKX3DffuxEojT3K~3RIe24p3WQaZXOM1ZkqSGi8iTWE~zx251UqoDBFcf~lIViwftYfd0KZou8lhdtIqItgqaSqFT06FPHCmpZjuOqyx1t8LeglhUDhsRHMrSrOw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Prosper Town Council voted 5–1 on March 11 to approve a preliminary site plan for Prosper Legacy (Blocks D–F), a roughly 22-acre mixed-use project at the southwest corner of Legacy Drive and Prosper Trail, with a condition requiring revision of a drive-thru layout.

Planning staff presented details of the proposed development: commercial uses around the perimeter configured as an inverted L and an interior residential component. Staff said the plan had previously been reviewed by the Planning & Zoning Commission and staff recommended several adjustments after council questions at an earlier meeting. Revisions before the council included a corrected 30-foot landscape easement along Legacy Drive, an added 15-foot buffer with a masonry screening wall shifted to sit behind the commercial frontage, and removal of one drive‑thru on the Legacy-facing side.

Staff noted the development will provide open space for both the commercial and residential components, require pitched roofs for buildings immediately adjacent to the Star Trail neighborhood, and reorient a dumpster that would have been visible to nearby houses. The remaining drive‑thru sits on an internal street (Block E, Lot 1) adjacent to residential streets; staff said the site meets ordinance stacking requirements (depicting five stacking spaces per the code) and includes a bailout lane and additional on-site space that could accommodate more stacking if a high-volume brand requires it.

Councilmember Amy Bartley said she remained concerned that the Block E Lot 1 drive‑thru could cause circulation or queueing issues at peak hours and preferred the applicant rework the configuration. A motion to approve the preliminary site plan with a modification to the drive‑thru configuration passed 5–1. The motion requires the developer to revise the drive‑thru so it “does not impede traffic” before final site-plan approval. Staff and the applicant said the required masonry screening, landscaping, parking and building‑architecture transitions will be enforced at the final site‑plan stage.

The council’s action is for the preliminary site plan only; individual building designs, tenant uses, and any final architecture still require subsequent approval and permits.","The council approved a preliminary site plan for a 22‑acre mixed-use development at Legacy and Prosper Trail, subject to a modification of a drive‑thru configuration after council concerns about stacking and traffic flow led to a 5–1 vote.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6640364,"Council approves waiver for Prosper ISD detention pond at proposed administration site",570,2368000,2938000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2556054-da669ae6ab6ef6350f9fc019a64e1aa0&start=2368&end=2938","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2556054-da669ae6ab6ef6350f9fc019a64e1aa0/thumbnail_2368000.jpg","/articles/6640364/Prosper/Collin-County/Texas/Council-approves-waiver-for-Prosper-ISD-detention-pond-at-proposed-administration-site","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6640364-9a49100d7a57252c6ba7ac6c604a15e4/orig.mp4?Expires=1775383271&Signature=REoFYCqCVp3hevRtHTrXyrwIiVJebdmc5fYeSXf9FBCxEQtAYAssbVQgrAJwTPuk6lb1h5D0hyuT1T4JWOOA6baQKEhOxS~HaWP9oY7ATbKxp~IBjeiGp18PgahH18sVfdx04U9~3TW4V9uXssBc4jlwaCpPIfJ32qhw0YapRTXnje1jsWc1zq-Y1qbpoZMHg5neaCiQlJg-T5RxVg8QYafcs1fIaEOdx4OLW962M6p1HCH3Dhbo-dMo5AKuwBgJyGRMgg15GADISFhlY1Cr8ghD~OHE4FoJOdEpv4EEZcODcw~OtEAXePpswHkD0WltnUXtv4IgE3hfmtc4WUgnfA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Prosper Town Council on March 11 unanimously approved a developer-requested waiver from the town’s drainage design manual that would let Prosper Independent School District use a dry detention pond, rather than a wet pond, for a basin behind a proposed administration building.

Town engineering staff explained the town adopted a drainage manual in February 2017 that generally requires wet detention ponds or underground alternatives, but the manual includes a process for council to consider waivers. Dan Heichman (town staff) described the subject pond as located off Lakewood, north of U.S. 380, and said the parcel is zoned single-family residential and will be buffered and screened from neighboring lots.

PISD representative Doctor Bradley told council the district’s site includes two visible wet-pond features intended as outdoor learning amenities; the green-highlighted pond at the rear of the site, which the district asked be allowed as a dry detention pond, is largely out of public view and would be screened. Engineer Chris Schmidt explained the district prefers dry detention for lower maintenance costs and additional stormwater-storage flexibility; dry detention also improves capacity when adjacent topography or floodplain limits a permanent water-surface elevation.

Councilmembers asked about long-term maintenance and future uses of adjacent land. Town staff and PISD representatives said the district intends landscaping and living screening, and that screening and a masonry wall would separate the basin from nearby homes. Staff also said the pond’s design accounts for a fully developed drainage condition so future buildings north of the admin site could be accommodated without additional detention in many scenarios.

Councilmembers expressed support, with one member noting that the presence of other wet ponds nearby reduced concern about losing a visible water amenity. A motion to approve the waiver passed unanimously. Council action authorizes the waiver but does not change the site’s zoning or final site-plan approval requirements; staff noted the applicant must still meet the town’s erosion-control, landscaping and screening standards and any required construction permits.","The council unanimously approved a request from Prosper ISD to waive the town's wet-pond drainage design requirement for a detention basin behind a proposed district administration building, allowing a dry (underground) detention design with required screening and buffers.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6640368,"Prosper council adopts 2025 library master plan, requests board input be incorporated",1831,523000,2354000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2556054-da669ae6ab6ef6350f9fc019a64e1aa0&start=523&end=2354","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2556054-da669ae6ab6ef6350f9fc019a64e1aa0/thumbnail_523000.jpg","/articles/6640368/Prosper/Collin-County/Texas/Prosper-council-adopts-2025-library-master-plan-requests-board-input-be-incorporated","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6640368-728ea5a4574a5867137bdb8e5e669c3a/orig.mp4?Expires=1775383271&Signature=LFqMN-rhzDJjhntB33qbOwj4FhK9D0woEkewAUU3mOd4QOWLMYPm1pRwnmSkIH6nUOXKExAIqxG5AFVKVEzjNS2u9MdvSWCPRTM8~LQo7C8A5xTz15BGJWJaIbt48kPQEWzFU~a2fMVBwcchZGLr3CRpqnGalQZ6ek0ZalaSHyrj6L26cnGLxiMX2rRgSqw3hdD8tn7foq8vJhl2xIM5YYFg1pyV-wTN~dKF-W7Zr6If~cKG7~PAzyRQvwCpRQU186BTzaxD~r5L5JLDRMKLHagdaY7PltodMgKNs-5AJh9-Po7b9zVWX2t00ALegmjl8dPI8mVRHGW0ZuK5vYlF0w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Prosper Town Council on March 11 unanimously adopted a 2025 library master plan and directed staff to incorporate the library board’s recommendations into the final document.

Library Director Gary Landeck presented a revised master plan and told the council the update reflects council input and community survey results showing the town’s existing library is undersized. “I want you to imagine a story time where the space itself adapts, not just to the size of the group, but to each participant’s preferences and comfort,” Landeck said, describing a flexible, technology-forward facility designed to serve a growing population.

The library board accepted the report from consultant 720 Design with qualifications and urged the council to consider Option 2 — a 49,000-square-foot facility — as the minimum size to meet expected demand and accreditation standards. Library board member Danielle Phillips told the council the board “has accepted the report and discussed it extensively” and recommended further data collection, alignment with Texas Library Association standards and study of a possible library foundation to help support capital costs. Marybeth Randecker, also speaking for the board, emphasized the board’s view that the facility should be “forward looking” and coordinated with other town services.

The master plan presents three building-size options. The council heard that a newly added smaller option is roughly 33,000 square feet with an estimated project cost of about $34.2 million (the estimate excludes land), while board members advised that 49,000 square feet is the minimum to meet some professional standards. Landeck and the board stressed flexibility: spaces should be adaptable for in-person programs, technology-enabled events and potential co-location with other town facilities such as parks and recreation.

Council members discussed timing and financing. The resolution approved by the council states the master plan “shall not commit the town to Prosper-specific funding levels or implementation strategies” but will guide the town’s vision for library programs and services. The council and board recommended additional feasibility work before final decisions about programming, staffing, budgets and facility design; the board specifically recommended study of a library foundation, though board members said the feasibility study could not be undertaken with public funds and would likely require fundraising or private grants.

Councilmembers also said the plan should move to the bond committee for consideration of funding levels and timing. Several councilmembers voiced support for the plan’s technology-forward approach while acknowledging differing views about ideal building size. The council approved the resolution with language to incorporate the library board’s recommendations into the master plan document.

The council’s action does not allocate construction funding or pick a site. Staff and the board signaled next steps: additional feasibility work, more detailed cost and site analysis, and further public engagement before any bond or budget commitment.","The Prosper Town Council unanimously adopted a 2025 library master plan that adds a third, smaller facility option and asks the plan to incorporate the library board's recommendations and further feasibility work including a possible library foundation study.","actionData","errors"]
