Program:
Planning for Explosive Growth—The
Frisco Story
The City of Frisco has experienced explosive
growth over the last decade. Without good
planning, such growth can have negative effects on a city.
Frisco has been widely recognized, as a successful example of good planning
and development, however, and it does not appear to be slowing down anytime soon. As the director of its city planning efforts for
the past several years, February’s speaker has obviously played a prominent role in
Frisco’s growth. He will discuss how
the City has managed its development from a planning perspective, and he will offer some
insight about what may yet lie ahead for this North Texas boomtown.
Speaker: Mr. John Lettelleir, AICP, City of Frisco Director of
Planning & Development Services
Mr. Lettelleir has served as Frisco’s
Director of Planning & Development Services since July 2002, and prior to that point
he had held the title of Director of Planning since September 1998. Before moving to Frisco, Mr. Lettelleir spent a
decade in Plano’s Department of Development Services, and he began his planning
career with the City of Grand Prairie in 1986.
After graduating from Indiana State University in 1982 with a bachelor’s degree in Urban Regional Studies, Mr. Lettelleir completed a master’s degree in City and Regional Planning at the University of Texas at Arlington in 1986. He is a member of the American Institute of Certified Planners, the American Planning Association, and the Urban Land Institute. Mr. Lettelleir was honored in 2002 by Inside Collin County Business as one of its “21 Leaders for the 21st Century.”
