Commissioner Tornes questioned Mr. Maykus regarding sidewalk connectivity along the north side of the development. Mr. Maykus explained the sidewalk would connect the Lavaca Trail Estates, Remington Park, Covington, and their development with a sidewalk. He further explained they would try to save as many trees as possible. Commissioner Phelps questioned Mr. Maykus regarding the existing trail along their eastern border, in the Remington Park subdivision. Mr. Maykus replied, in addition to the trail being a buffer for the residents, they would have 50 foot of open space along the eastern border. Discussion continued regarding the trail between the existing development and the proposed development. Commissioner Wheelwright questioned Adam Marsh, development engineer for the city of Colleyville, regarding any future plans regarding Lavaca Trail.

Discussion continued regarding the upcoming maintenance project for Lavaca Trail. Commissioner Phelps questioned Adam Marsh regarding the number of trips per day necessary for improvements to be considered. Adam Marsh replied 1,000 trips per day would warrant another traffic impact analysis. He further explained, in 2007 the traffic impact analysis that was conducted only showed 413 trips per day on Lavaca Trail. He also explained even with the addition of 44 new single family residential homes, the trips would possibly double and still would not be enough to warrant a traffic impact analysis. Commissioner Tornes questioned staff regarding whether the Remington Park subdivision was prohibited from closing off their subdivision at Lavaca Trail with a gate. Ron Ruthven replied without special permission, they are prohibited from installing a gate at Lavaca Trail. He further explained the traffic impact analysis conducted in 2007 was done at the request of the Remington Park subdivision’s request. City of Colleyville Page 3 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes July 14, 2014 Discussion continued regarding the possibility of the Remington Park subdivision’s options for the installation of a gate at Lavaca Trail.

Commissioner Phelps questioned Ron Ruthven regarding whether the adjacent lots were identical in width to the property in question and did the lot not meet the requirements for the R-40 Single Family Residential zoning district. Ron Ruthven replied the adjacent lots were all platted under the same subdivision and are very similar in size. He further explained the lot was just a shade under the R-40 Single Family Residential zoning district requirements. Ron Ruthven also stated the precedent has been set for the surrounding properties to be rezoned to the R-30 Single Family Residential zoning district. Commissioner Gotcher questioned Ron Ruthven regarding his opinion on why the lots were just under the R-40 Single Family Residential zoning district requirements but were not being considered for the R- 40 Single Family Residential zoning district.
