Frisco ISD could ask voters to pass first bond in 8 years
$758M FISD bond proposed
By Krista WadsworthDating back to 1963, Frisco ISD residents
have never failed to pass a bond referendum. In May, they will most likely get a chance to decide whether to continue that trend.
Through four bond elections over an eight-year period from 1998 to 2006, voters approved nearly $1.7 billion to support the school district.
Frisco ISD’s demographic projections esti-mate the district will reach 66,000 students by 2020.
To accommodate the growth, the Frisco ISD Board of Trustees in February is expected to place a $758 million bond referendum on the May 10 ballot.
Co-chairs for the 27-member bond com-mittee, Buddy Minett and Debbie Pasha, said Frisco’s projected growth means the district has no choice but to build—and therefore fund—new schools.
The committee has been working since September on the proposal.
“Retail, commercial is coming,” Pasha said.
“It’s coming because of schools, and how the schools perform, the students perform. The only way we can support this growth, which we know is coming, is to approve the build-ings and the facilities that are included in this proposal.”
The bond would pay for an addi-tional eight elemen-tary schools, three middle schools and three high schools, plus other building additions, instructional and student support services, special programs and support facil-ity renovations.
The co-chairs said the main selling point for the bond is that it includes only the neces-sities. Almost 86 percent, or $648.7 million, would go to fund the construction of schools
and instructional facilities.
“That number [86 percent] is high com-pared to other school districts,” Minett said. “It’s not for fluff or non-essential things. We focused on what we abso-
lutely have to have.” Board trustee John Hoxie complimented

By Krista WadsworthThe Dallas North Tollway has
drawn yet another major retail and multi-use development, northeast of the Dallas Cowboys that is beginning to take shape.
Newman Real Estate has announced plans for a “mega development” on 110 acres on the southeast corner of Lebanon Road and the DNT.
The project, which is being called Wade Park, will include high-end retail shopping, fine dining, luxury hotels, commer-cial office space, entertainment and urban living.
The first phase is expected to be complete in spring 2015.
Lauren Newman Burge with
Newman Real Estate said it will be similar to the popular Shops at Legacy mixed-use develop-ment in Plano.
“It will be larger than the Shops at Legacy, but with more big-box retail stores and more restaurants,” she said. “It’s going to be something that’s never been done in Frisco before.”
Burge said there are commit-ments from high-end retailers, restaurants, businesses needing office space and a grocery store. The names of those committed will be announced mid-Febru-ary.
“Wade Park will be the place to go when you have a special occa-sion to celebrate or to spend an
afternoon discovering the latest trends from the runway, at stores that you currently have to drive 20 miles to NorthPark Center to find,” said Jim Newman of
Newman Real Estate. Working with Newman Real
Estate, the Wade family sold the property to Dan Thomas,

Frisco Edition • February 2014 News 3
In just the first few weeks of 2014 it seems so many big plans are taking shape for Frisco’s future. If you’re anything like me, it’s incredible to picture how this will affect your family in the years to come.
As our team worked through the Frisco ISD bond proposal story and laid out the graphic
detailing exactly where the money would go (Page 16), it hit me that by the time my daughter attends high school, she could have 10 crosstown high school rival-ries.
We’re also getting our first glimpse of plans for the site where those rivalries could be played, at least when it comes to football. New street names in the Dallas Cowboys development, spots for retail, hotel, parking
and office space are explained on Page 17 in the first preliminary site plan. And across the DNT, visions are taking form of a new 110-acre mixed-use site where my husband and I could have a date night, do some shop-ping or grab a quick bite.
To top it all off, our Impacts section (Pages 4 and 5) has never been so jam packed with new businesses and those planning to open soon. From cupcakes, to martial arts, jewelers and everything in between, there will be plenty for us to explore and experience in Frisco in the months to come, and I have a feeling this growth train isn’t slowing down any time soon.
Buckle up with me, and I hope to see you along the way during this exciting ride.

FRISCO On Feb. 18, Frisco City Council members will be tasked with deciding what, if any, recommendations from the Frisco Charter Review Commission to put on the May 10 election ballot.
After months of work, the Frisco Char-ter Review Commission presented its findings to council members on Dec. 7.
The council can accept the recom-mendations as made by the commission without changes or make changes before the recommendations go on the ballot.
Council members also have the option of not calling for any changes to the city charter.
The commission has recommended changes to several charter sections, including governance, ethics, political
activity and administrative.In preliminary discussion, council
members indicated they liked many of the changes, but wanted to tweak others before they go on the ballot.
Council members said at a recent meeting they would like to hear thoughts on the proposed amendments from Frisco residents.

Frisco Council talks possible future ban on e-cigarettesFRISCO Electronic cigarettes and liq-uid tobacco are legal to sell to a person of any age, and can be smoked any-where in Frisco, but that could change.
Frisco City Council members on Jan. 7 opened discussion on the issue, brought to them by the Frisco Police Department.
The consensus from council members was to begin work to ban the selling of e-cigarettes to minors, but to do more research into the potential harm before decisions are made about where they are smoked.
Currently, no state or federal laws regulate the sale or usage of e-cigs.
Several councilmen talked about

personal experiences with their children around people smoking e-cigarettes. While it may or may not be a health issue, council members said they have no desire to see any type of cigarettes become popu-lar again.
“Even if it’s safe, the culture of smoking has changed,” Councilman John Keating said. “It’s not something I want to have to [go] back toward.”
Councilman Will Sowell said banning the sale of e-cigs to minors is something the council has the responsibility to do.
“E-cigs attract minors and provide a coolness factor that cigarettes don’t,” he said.
No final decision was made, but the council directed police department offi-cials to move forward with the issue by bringing back more information at a later meeting.

By Krista WadsworthMuch development—retail, commer-
cial and residential—has taken place in the eight years since Frisco last updated its vision for the city.
Throughout the next year, 23 Frisco residents appointed to the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee are tasked with examining the changes the city has under-gone since 2006 and determining what Frisco should look like in the future.
Land use, destination areas and tour-ism, public transportation, diversification of neighborhoods and water conservation will be explored by consulting firm Jacobs Engineering, the CPAC, the Planning & Zoning Commission, the Frisco City Council and the public.
“If you are a growing community, it is a good idea to update the comprehensive plan periodically to make sure it’s staying current,” said John Lettelleir, city Develop-ment Services director. “We need to revisit the vision as things change over time.”
Frisco Chamber of Commerce President Tony Felker, a CPAC member who remem-bers the last two comprehensive plans in 2000 and 2006 as first a resident, then a Frisco City Council member, said he looks to build on previous plans.
He said it’s important to look back at the decisions made with a current perspec-tive and see what changes need to be made based on current trends, such as transpor-tation and land use.
“Retailers are always impacted by public transportation or the lack thereof,” Felker said of exploring bus and train routes not just in Frisco, but in the greater metro area. “Transportation is always an issue.”
Market-based land studies will be used to discuss changes to the land uses along major roadways, including U.S. 380, U.S. 121, the Dallas North Tollway and Preston Road.
“We need to make sure there are enough different types of retail, commercial and office space and that we are offering those opportunities to developers,” Felker said.
Finding a way to distinguish Frisco from
surrounding cities such as McKinney, Plano and Allen is an important factor of the new plan, Lettelleir said.
“Frisco is in competition with these cit-ies,” he said. “We have the same builders and contractors … When we look the same, what is the attraction value of Frisco?”
Liveability, including what people want to see in housing developments in Frisco and how to preserve its existing neighbor-hoods, is also a plan priority.
“Frisco has been keen on preserving open space, using it in neighborhoods and preserving it for amenities,” Lettelleir said. “People value open space and those open spaces add value in the neighborhood.”
Spreading the wordCity staff members and consultant team
members are planning extensive Web-based interaction as well as a social media campaign in an effort to get feedback and suggestions from Frisco residents. Town hall meetings will be held as well.
Dave Wilcox, a first-time CPAC member who was elected chairman, said one of his biggest concerns moving forward with the process is ensuring residents have a chance to voice their thoughts early enough in the planning so they can be incorporated.
“Everyone who knows Frisco knows our residents are very tech savvy,” Wilcox said. “We need to absolutely wear them out as far as social media is concerned.”
Updating the planLettelleir said the past few years, the city
decided to delay updating the comprehen-sive plan because Frisco, like many cities, dealt with a period of slow growth.
In keeping with a tightened budget, the city at the time chose not to spend the nearly $447,000 consultant fee they are currently paying Jacobs Engineering.
“It seems expensive, but the purpose of having it done is to plan for the future,” Lettelleir said.
Frisco is required by the Local Govern-ment Code and its own city charter to have a comprehensive plan.
how the process worksthe comprehensive Plan Advisory committee is made up of 23 committee members. At the January kickoff meeting, members elected dave Wilcox chairman and John Hamilton Jr. vice-chairman.
committee members are responsible for visiting with neighbors and other residents for input, and relaying that information back to city staff and the consultant firm. during the planning process, the contractor will be interviewing business leaders as well as city staff members for input. town hall meetings will be scheduled for public input.
the first draft is expected to go before the Frisco city council in January 2015. the new comprehensive plan is expected to be ready for adoption in March 2015.
2000 comprehensive Plan highlights
• updated the planned development section of the zoning ordinance stating how and when planned development would be used
• Agreed on a major creek ordinance—avoiding channelizing creeks and treating them as an amenity in the city
• developed traffic analysis ordinance
• developed thoroughfare standards ordi-nance
• implemented the Preston road overlay district
• implemented the tollway overlay district
• created design and development stan-dards for garden style apartments and neighborhood retail centers
• created a residential green building pro-gram
• identified possible rail stations
• updated the land uses and definitions, parking requirements, and light ordinance in the zoning ordinance
2006 comprehensive Plan highlights
• created a form-based code manual for planned developments that focused on place-making principles
• reviewed and updated the parking require-ments in the zoning ordinance
• Placed cluster development in the zoning ordinance
• creation of the “Alternative compliance”—allows the city to approve mixed use with a site plan where mixed use is identified on the city’s Future Land use Plan
• conducted a public transit study
• Water conservation—updated the land-scape section of the zoning ordinance
Members of the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee include Tony Felker, Michael Gfeller, Jaime Ronderos, Richard Wilkinson, Rick Williamson, Stan Brasuell, Baxter Brinkmann, John Hamilton Jr., Robert Ouellette, Clint Bedsole, Chad Brubaker, Debby Clark, Steve Cone, Aaron Fletcher, Rick Fletcher, Stephen Hulsey, Chris Moss, Kurt North, Bruce Quinnell, Lynn Slaney-Silguero, Jeffrey Stinson, Edward Szcze-bakand and Dave Wilcox.

W hen Alex and Amy Cole decided to open One2One Restaurant & Bar almost four
years ago, the married couple saw a void in the Frisco landscape.
The city had a large number of restau-rants with a great variety of offerings, but the Coles said eateries were nothing different from the ones found in count-less suburbs across the United States. The restaurants all seemed to be familiar brands to the Coles.
“We opened the restaurant because Frisco didn’t have much but chains at the time,” Amy said. “We were hoping to offer unique fine dining.”
The Coles also thought they brought the right combination of skill sets to the table. At the restaurant, they both dig into their specialties. Alex has a long his-tory in restaurant and bar management.
“The business is his passion,” Amy said. “He loves it. He always wanted to have his own place.”
Amy has spent her adult life working in public relations. Though she is offi-cially director of marketing at the restau-rant, she is also in charge of catering.
“We built and designed the place from the ground up,” Amy said.
When customers enter One2One, they veer left to the bar area, right to the restaurant area. The dining room has counter space where customers can sit and watch the food being prepared.
The Coles keep busy with private events, primarily because of two unique rooms at their location. One is a meeting room big enough for a small business to host its employees, while the other is the first thing you see when you walk into One2One. The menu has clicked behind executive chef Juan Garcia and the menu offerings have diversified, with the slogan “One place for everybody’s taste” printed on the menu.
“We offer a little bit of everything–from the dishes you’d expect such as steaks and lobsters to items like pizza, meatloaf and hamburgers,” Amy said. “American cuisine with a twist.”
The benefits of the location could pos-sibly change with the February opening of nearby luxury apartments. The Coles are preparing for an impact to their bar business, which they consider successful.

starlight FlightAerial tour business goes into third decade
F ar above the Dallas/Fort Worth skyline flies a business that has been delighting passengers for
more than two decades. Frisco resident and entrepreneur David
Snell began Starlight Flight, an aerial tour business, when he was a college student studying aviation at Louisiana Tech University. While building up his flying time, he also began his aerial tour business.
“I registered my name, got a tax ID number and handed out fliers at local apartments,” he said.
Once back in the Dallas area—he graduated from high school in Plano—he proceeded to build up his business.
Using small, Cessna 172 single-engine planes, he has kept the business flying since 1991.
Tours depart from the Addison Air-port, about 15 minutes from Frisco.
Starlight Flight offers 30- and 60-min-ute aerial tours in downtown Dallas, and as far away as AT&T Stadium, the Rang-ers Ballpark in Arlington and Six Flags over Texas in Arlington.
Holiday tours, specifically Christmas-time holiday light tours and Valentine’s Day tours, are popular.
The company will even help arrange the perfect proposal by providing flowers and other amenities.
“We’ve had more than 200 marriage proposals on our tours,” Snell said.
Most of his customers are couples out for a special occasion, but his tours are for anyone who wants to go flying.
The tours are especially useful, he said, for showing an aerial view of land for potential development.
The wings of the Cessna 172 are above the cabin, rather than below it, allowing for a superior view for the pilot and up to three passengers.
Snell compares the visibility to looking
out a car window.“The average person doesn’t know this
type of plane exists,” he said. The planes are safe and easy to pilot,
Snell said. The company has had no accidents.
The person who sits in the co-pilot seat even has the opportunity to fly the plane under the watchful eye of the pilot.
While he has a policy that he will turn back if a passenger gets scared, Snell said he has never had to cut a tour short.
“It’s cool to watch people’s perceptions change when they get up there and real-ize they aren’t going to die,” he said.
The company’s business model means Snell sees little risk. He does not own the planes—rather he rents planes from an
Addison flight school, Lone Star Flyers, on an as-needed basis. That way, if flights are down for a particular month, he has no overhead to cover.
Starlight Flight allows him to pay for the hobby he loves—flying, while also operating a business.
The business also does custom tours, and Snell said he is looking to branch out into more commercial work, instead of strictly entertainment flights.
Snell also owns and operates Cajun Crawfish Co. and DFW Custom Wood Floors, which take up much of his time, so he has three or four pilots who also conduct tours for Starlight Flight.

the committee for its focus on essential buildings and ser-vices in the bond proposal.
“There are a lot of things we probably should build, but we’re not going to,” Hoxie said. “A lot of people want another natatorium. But we’re not going to do that because it’s instructional support, it’s buildings for kids that is pri-ority here.”
Richard Wilkinson, deputy superintendent of business services, said the district has spent on average $10 million to $12 million a month from the $298 million in bonds passed in 2006.
Those funds are committed for expenditure by August 2015 and will take the district to 52,000 students.
“We are the victims of our own success,” Minett said. “We’ve created something that is very desirable so people want to move here, so we have to keep building.”
Frisco ISDs current tax rate is $1.46 per $100 property valuation. The debt service tax rate portion is 42 cents. Passing a $758 million bond would mean the debt service tax rate would increase a maximum of 8 cents throughout the length of the bond, Wilkinson said.
Frisco ISD’s earliest recorded bond was in 1963 when voters passed a $222,000 referendum, which allowed for the construction of the original Acker Elementary.
Ten years later, a $1.2 million bond paid for a high school, which is now Staley Middle School.
Other bonds were passed in 1980, 1985, 1993, 1995, 1998, 2000 and 2003, with the most recent passing in 2006.

an urban retail developer based in Atlanta, Ga.
Wade family historyThe Wade family, one of the original
Frisco families, has owned property in the city for more than 100 years and worked with the Newman family dur-ing that time, first farming, then selling and developing land.
John Kirby Wade Sr., son of John Hickman Wade, originally purchased the Wade Park land.
Burge said the Wades were actively involved in selling the property.
Two tollway developmentsThe Wade Park deal has been in the
works for more than a year—before the 96-acre Cowboys development on the northwest corner of Warren Parkway and the DNT was announced, Burge said.
“We were already deep into this when we found out about the Cow-boys,” Burge said. “We feel like they will complement each other and with the draw of the stadium, the new devel-opment will flow right into it. We’re excited.”
Southwest of the Wade Park develop-ment, the Cowboys complex is another
step closer to construction.The city of Frisco Planning & Zon-
ing Commission on Jan. 28 approved the preliminary site plan and convey-ance plan for the facility. While rou-tine for any development in the city, the approval is one of the first steps forward with the project since it was announced in September.
It is the start of the formal process to lay out the roadways and where the multi-use events center and Cowboys headquarters will be oriented on the property.
“We are excited to begin work on yet another state-of-the-art facility that can host numerous special events and regular programming designed to promote the community and tourism,” Mayor Maher Maso said.
The headquarters and multi-use event facility, which will be used as a practice facility by the Cowboys, as well as by the city of Frisco and Frisco ISD for various events, are scheduled to be complete mid- to late 2016.
The project is being funded jointly by the city of Frisco ($30 million), Frisco Community Development Corp. ($25 million), Frisco Economic Develop-ment Corp. ($30 million) and Frisco ISD ($30 million).
