2. REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS
2a Discussion of park design based on consultants renderings
Adrienne introduced the Freese and Nichols team who had prepared the concept
plans (presentation attached). There was discussion as Freese and Nichols went
through the presentation, with committee members making suggestions and
seeking clarification to balance the priorities and elements the committee desires.
Following discussion the committee recommended using the taller walls to tell the
story of the different wars and use lower walls (waist high) to display individuals’
(heroes) names on top. Bronze statues would be used to recognize each military
branch. The Committee prioritized a calming water element, with preference to a
wall, not a fountain, but one that would not easily become a play zone, seating,
trees, and shade elements, the corner entry areas closer to the South parking lot
provide an opportunity to use complementary low walls which could share
Colleyville’s origin and some history. At the current Heroes Park, once the new
street comes behind it, a flexible staging area was recommended to provide a
consistent paved spot to locate check-in tents, EMS tents, and portable restrooms
for events, with movable seating.
In reviewing the details of Option A and Option B in the presentation, the
Committee provided feedback to Freese and Nichols for development of a final
proposed concept.

-Prefer Option A with clean lines, but make the stage area curved like in
Concept B.
-Pull the Stage Access Drive right up against the stage in a curved shape,
eliminating the grass area in between the stage and drive. (These pavers will
be strong enough for vehicles to drive on, providing a path for bands to
deliver equipment or vendors to deliver entertainment elements for events)
-Curve the edge of the Entry Plaza (#7) to echo the curve across the lawn on
the stage
-For the tall walls (#3), shift the orientation and possibly location to provide
more visual connectivity between the events space and the heroes
recognition area
-Look for where to add in an eternal flame element (perhaps electric version
of a gas lantern-looking flame) and flags (military branches and US)
2b Discussion of establishing future meeting dates based on consultant
timelines
The next meeting will be May 9, 2023 at 10 a.m.
3. ADJOURNMENT
