PC-1 Discussion and update on the SH26/Colleyville Boulevard Reconstruction
Project
City Engineer Jeremy Hutt presented this item and briefed the City Council.
Councilmember Mogged questioned staff regarding if Weatherford and Mansfield
have or are working on the Turnback Program. Engineer Hutt replied they are in
the final stages of the agreement.
Councilmember Putnam asked staff if the cities of Allen and Fort Worth provided
any feedback on any issues or concerns they have had so far. Engineer Hutt
replied the City of Allen has had more experience with the Turnback Program, and
nothing unexpected has come out of the program.
Councilmember Mogged questioned staff regarding if there is a turnback option,
providing some portion of the funding, with the option to have six lanes. City
Manager Jennifer Fadden replied there is an option to identify, either City or other
funds, the fifth and sixth lanes of construction, as well as the additional design
cost.
Councilmember Mogged asked staff if it will be roughly $6 million dollars, including
the design cost. City Manager Jennifer Fadden replied yes, that is the estimate we
were told.

City Council Minutes December 2, 2014
Councilmember Mogged stated having concerns regarding a definite solution, or an
engineered design which indicates a solution, that has not been given for the use
of right-turn lanes in the heavier retail areas.
Councilmember Short stated the capacity numbers being considered are based on
an assumption. He stated to achieve those capacity numbers is going to be an
issue, given that we do not have them in the current design.
Mayor Kelly stated by taking it off-line, we will control the roadway, and we could
install more driveway cuts, if necessary.
Councilmember Mogged stated a right-turn lane may be considered. Mayor Kelly
stated the roadway intersections will be improved. Councilmember Mogged stated
it is the retail turning that is the concern.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated more curb cuts allow for potential traffic issues. He
stated better ingress and egress or parking may help.
Councilmember Putnam stated we have the right-of-way for six lanes, which will
help with the turning traffic. Councilmember Mogged concurred, for at least in the
retail area on the northbound side.
Mayor Kelly stated TxDOT has said Colleyville does not need six lanes.
Councilmember Putnam stated he does not follow TxDOT and COG’s interest in
doing this project; understanding that they are not addressing a transportation
problem, unless the intersections are addressing the transportation problem. He
added it has been difficult to understand their intersection data. Councilmember
Short stated he could not make sense of it either.
Mayor Kelly stated Michael Morris, Head of Transportation with NCTCOG, has
stated the intersection improvements will improve capacity by 50 percent.
Councilmember Putnam added the data does not reflect that statement.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated the data is reflective of a multiple level of service,
being straight through, rather than at particular intersections.
Mayor Kelly stated the peak traffic situations are not going to be taken away.
Councilmember Short stated TxDOT has stated that at some point, in the future,
six lanes is going to be needed; therefore, how long are we willing to wait to build
to that capacity. Councilmember Putnam added that time would be 12 years after
the completion of this project.
City of Colleyville Page 2
City Council Minutes December 2, 2014
Mayor Kelly stated having concerns with losing the community aspect with a six
lane roadway. He stated if the roadway is taken off-line, Colleyville will gain
control over it.
Councilmember Short stated the current volume levels indicate this roadway is in
the 90th percentile with all of the highways in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
Councilmember Short questioned staff regarding if TxDOT provided a sampling of
those roadways that are operating at those levels. City Manager Jennifer Fadden
replied no. Councilmember Short stated he would like to see that data.
Mayor Kelly stated traffic flows pretty well at the four lane capacity, except during
peak times.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated the traffic signal timing software may help with the
structure of the intersections.
Councilmember Putnam stated he views Colleyville in two distinct ways, the
residential and commercial sectors. He stated SH26 is in the commercial sector,
and it is there to serve and solve a transportation purpose. He stated the
businesses do not want the four lanes with the medians.
Mayor Kelly stated the transportation experts are stating six lanes are not
necessary.
Councilmember Putnam stated municipalities have influenced the design decisions
relative to medians. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated we were told numerous times, if
we do not want the medians, they will not build the medians.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated 14 years ago we were led to believe this was going
to be six lanes; however, last year, TxDOT stated something different.
Councilmember Putnam stated it is not Colleyville responsibility to address the
traffic problem, especially since nothing is done currently. Mayor Kelly stated
money needed for transportation is the issue.
Councilmember Mogged stated the Turnback Program makes the most sense,
since it puts the roadway back in our hands, and we can make the necessary
improvements.
Mayor Kelly stated if we use the Turnback Program, TxDOT may help with turn
lanes in those retail centers. Councilmember Mogged stated he has seen
roadways with four lanes on one side and six lanes on the other, such as in
Phoenix.
Councilmember Putnam stated not having an issue with slower speed.
City of Colleyville Page 3
City Council Minutes December 2, 2014
Councilmember Short stated our roadway section will be different than Grapevine,
in that our lanes will be narrower; Colleyville has more development; there will be
different landscaping; and the signals are spaced closer together.
Councilmember Hart stated the extra lanes on the side makes sense, and
previously it was taken from a six lane to a four lane, slip lane. He stated we have
all been dealt this hand, and all of these suggestions will help to get the highway
fixed. He stated he does not want the money to slip away, which creates the
slowing down of the project.
Councilmember Hart asked Councilmember Putnam if he would prefer there to be
more money spent on the extra lanes. Councilmember Putnam replied that if we
are not going to make it ready for the future, then we should not move forward.
Councilmember Hart asked Councilmember Putnam if more of the City’s money
should be put toward this project. Councilmember Putnam replied if we have to
do this project now, then we should explore ways to pick-up the extra money to
finish the six lanes and negotiate with TxDOT and COG to do so. He stated if there
is not a transportation solution, then it is not worth putting the community
through it at this time. He suggested the six lanes should be done, or do nothing
at all.
Councilmember Hart asked Councilmember Putnam where the money will come
from. Councilmember Putnam stated the conversation has not taken place on the
funding.
Mayor Kelly stated 15 months ago the decision was made to move forward with
the design plans of moving from six lanes, with the option to go to four lanes.
Councilmember Putnam stated he was in favor of the suggestion of the Turnback
Program, if the six lanes are constructed now, or with the commitment of funding
of the six lanes, in the future, if four lanes are constructed now.
Councilmember Short stated if someone is willing to fix the roadway, when it is
needed, he is comfortable with moving forward with the four lanes.
Councilmember Wollin stated having concerns of the safety of the roadway.
Councilmember Putnam asked Mayor Kelly who is responsible for improving the
intersection at Tinker Road and Oak Point. Mayor Kelly replied it is TxDOT’s
roadway, and there is an extreme shortage of transportation funds.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated TxDOT was not going to do the Tinker Road
intersection, knowing they were going to do the roadway.
City of Colleyville Page 4
City Council Minutes December 2, 2014
Councilmember Short questioned staff regarding if the addition of the third lane,
through the retail centers, can be done with the change order. Engineer Hutt
replied staff has not discussed any change orders, of that magnitude.
Mayor Kelly stated the project has not been let yet, but there is an opportunity to
commit to something.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated he does not want to do the Turnback Program. He
stated the TIF funding would be tied up in the roadway. He stated this money
needs to be flowing back into the local needs. He stated not being in favor of
encumbering the future generations, especially since it is hard to estimate the
increases over time. He added he is supportive of the decision of the group;
however, he stated he does not like the Pass-Through option either.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated TxDOT said they would see what they could do as a
turnback option for the six lanes. City Manager Jennifer Fadden added, but only if
there was direction given by City Council.
Councilmember Hart asked Mayor Kelly if the roadway remains with the state with
the pass-through option. Mayor Kelley said yes. Councilmember Hart stated with
this option we know what we are going to be out today, relative to funds.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated the reality is that transportation is a huge issue in
this state.
Councilmember Putnam stated the transportation problem should be solved, but
do it now and be done with it, or do nothing.
Councilmember Short stated businesses may not locate here because our
infrastructure is not sufficient to handle the business.
Councilmember Mogged stated he believed Councilmember Hart and Mayor Pro
Tem Taylor are in favor of the Pass-Through option and Councilmember Short and
Mogged are in favor of the Turnback Program.
Councilmember Wollin stated she may be in favor of the Turnback Program;
however, she has concerns with the future generations and their responsibility of
the roadway.
Mayor Kelly stated being in favor of the Turnback Program; however, being
concerned for the addition of this roadway with the other infrastructure needs of
the City for the future generations to have to encumber.
Councilmember Putnam stated being in favor of the Turnback Program with six
lanes, or nothing be done at all.
City of Colleyville Page 5
City Council Minutes December 2, 2014
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated the Turnback Program is for the four lanes.
Councilmember Mogged stated there is an option for six lanes with the Turnback
Program.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated TxDOT will not build six lanes, especially since they
cannot justify it. He stated he is not in favor of putting the burden on the future
generations.
Councilmember Wollin questioned staff regarding if the Turnback Program is
chosen, and the TIF money is encumbered, will the intersection improvements
along Glade Road remain possible. City Manager Jennifer Fadden replied based on
current funding, there is a capacity to exercise the Turnback Program, building six
lanes is approximately $7.3 million; therefore, the funding is still available to do
Bransford Road to Manning Drive, today.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated once the obligation of the TIF district has been met,
the taxpayers have a decision to make as to whether or not to keep the TIF district
alive, or collapse it, which it then will go into the general fund.
Councilmember Short stated it is being pessimistic to believe the entire burden
would be upon the City. He stated he believes there will still be partnerships in
place.
Councilmember Short stated the Pass-Through option will cost $7 million over 12
years.
Councilmember Putnam stated the Turnback Program does not work unless six
lanes are constructed.
Councilmember Mogged stated the Turnback Program makes the most sense.
Councilmember Hart stated the Turnback Program is only for Phase III, (John
McCain to Brown Trail).
Councilmember Putnam asked Mayor Kelly how we reconcile the long term
obligation for the lane expansion. Mayor Kelly stated if there is a need, the
partners will help address that need.
Councilmember Short stated there would be $7 million that could be set aside to
do the third lane, by using the Turnback Program. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated
that is the money we have today, but it may have to be used for something in the
future.
Councilmember Hart stated being in favor of whatever makes progress.
City of Colleyville Page 6
City Council Minutes December 2, 2014
Councilmember Mogged stated the Turnback Program allows the City to take care
of what needs to be addressed. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated the roadway is
future proofed, except for the two middle lanes. He stated the businesses will not
have to worry about the roadway being disrupted, given that the two center lanes
will be the only item disrupted.
Mayor Kelly stated with the Turnback Program, we will control the roadway with
being able to cut-out a third lane, not necessarily the entire parkway, through the
retail section by Colleyville Downs.
Councilmember Putnam stated the business owners along SH26 do not want to do
this. He stated there is no survey data which indicates the impact to the
businesses. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated he has talked with some of the business
owners and most just want something to move forward.
Councilmember Mogged stated he would like to know what the change order limits
will be to get to the six lanes. Mayor Kelly stated TxDOT and COG have been
willing to discuss options, which is something they were not willing to do 10 years
ago. Councilmember Putnam stated, as a newcomer to this process, it does not
feel that way.
City Manager Jennifer Fadden stated a resolution will appear on the December 16th
agenda seeking COG’s assistance in making the Turnback Program happen.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked Councilmember Putnam if he will vote for the
Turnback Program with six lanes. Councilmember Putnam said yes.

at 8:55 p.m.
Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding the method the city of Frisco uses to
calculate the required parking. Director Ruthven replied not knowing how Frisco
calculates parking, especially since there could be other factors considered, such
as a restaurant within the hotel.
Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding the calculations used for acquiring the
number of parking spaces. Director Ruthven replied the parking calculations are
done similar to traffic counts, in that they do not accommodate 100 percent usage
or occupancy. Mayor Kelly stated he did not know the number of employees that
are going to be there daily, which will reduce the number of parking spaces for
hotel occupants.
Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding the emergency access. Fire Chief Brian
Riley replied emergency access was considered and the layout is good.
Mayor Kelly asked staff the height of the Colleyville Heritage High School, for
reference. Director Ruthven replied approximately 48 feet, although he stated not

without the waiver requests.
Mayor Kelly stated the proposed hotel is requesting to be set back further from the
roadway. Director Ruthven concurred.
Councilmember Short stated there is a concern of blocking out sunlight, but what
time of year or day would that be an issue for the adjacent property. Director
Ruthven replied the summertime may be the only time in which the proposed
hotel would block the property to the south.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated having the same concerns with parking, especially
with trucks, trailers, and buses.
Mayor Kelly stated there is an emergency access gate, possibly at the back of the
hotel, which may help reduce the hotel traffic and parking.

occupancy. Mr. Cragun replied 68 percent is expected.

replied 96.
Mayor Kelly questioned Mr. Lowery regarding if an emergency access gate would
be a good compromise. Mr. Lowery replied he would have to visit with the
applicant.
Councilmember Putnam questioned Mr. Lowery regarding ideally what use would
be acceptable in that location. Mr. Lowery replied anything that would fit on that
property, something other than a five story building.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned Mr. Lowery regarding what else would be an
issue, if the parking can be protected. Mr. Lowery stated it is everything that
comes along with the hotel. He stated it does not fit with the properties in this
area; the noise; the visibility; the parking; and safety issues with traffic
movement.
Mr. Cragun asked if City Council would approve of the hotel providing a physical
barrier and gate access, maybe through landscaping or ornamental fencing along
the side adjacent to the restaurant. Mayor Kelly replied yes, that could help with
the parking issues.
Councilmember Mogged questioned Mr. Cragun regarding what could be done in
the event additional parking is needed. Mr. Cragun stated the primary market is
of the business partner who may ride-share, but the hotel will also have a van
service to pick people up from the airport, so that they do not have to rent a car.
He stated they do have parking agreements, with other businesses, in other areas,
so that cars can be valet parked.

lot to the north for this location. Mr. Cragun replied yes, there were several
attempts to make a purchase, but there was no interest.

restaurant’s kitchen side. Mr. Whelan stated it would be the darkening of the
restaurant and the patio area.
Mr. Whelan stated being concerned with the waiver request to the height of the
building. He stated knowing that the Code allows for a 35 foot building is good,
but to allow for a waiver from that is not.

City Council Minutes December 2, 2014
Mayor Kelly questioned Mr. Atkins regarding if there will be rear fencing on the
eastern lots. Mr. Atkins replied there will be a wrought iron fence adjacent to the
middle school, then a trail, then another wrought iron fence along the eastern
property line. He stated this allows the trail to be adjacent to the drainage area,
and it will link the trail system.
Mayor Kelly questioned Mr. Atkins regarding if the lots have been reduced from 60
to 54, with a lot density of 4.99 dwelling units per acre. Mr. Atkins replied yes.
Mayor Kelly suggested the lot ratios be clarified.
Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding if the retention and detention area is
allowed in the larger open space area. Director Ruthven replied yes, staff
recommended this in terms of the preliminary drainage analysis. He stated the
plan was reviewed and accepted by the Engineering Division, but it was not
approved. He added the actual engineered plans will come later; however, it did
not meet the Land Development Code requirements of open space, in terms of the
amount of open space and the amount of retention and detention allowed with in
the open space.
Councilmember Short questioned staff regarding if the development will dedicate
the right-of-way needed along Roberts Road. Director Ruthven replied yes.
Councilmember Short questioned if the development will be required to improve
Roberts Road along the development of this property. Director Ruthven replied
the road is not proposed to be improved by the applicant, and given the impact
fees to be collected, that would not be something the applicant would be obligated
to do.
Councilmember Short questioned Mr. Atkins regarding if the home exhibits are
representative of what you can put on the lots. Mr. Atkins replied yes; however, a
builder has not been committed for this development.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned Mr. Atkins regarding the sidewalk that does not
continue into the sidewalk. Mr. Atkins stated the developer will build a portion of
the sidewalk, and the builder would build the remaining.
Mayor Kelly questioned Mr. Atkins regarding tree preservation. Mr. Atkins replied
they will meet the ordinance requirements of the City.
Councilmember Mogged questioned staff regarding the current zoning, is it
Agricultural? Director Ruthven replied yes.

Director Ruthven replied yes. Councilmember Mogged stated he does not view
City of Colleyville Page 18
City Council Minutes December 2, 2014
this as a transitional area. Director Ruthven stated the uses to the east are
institutional uses which does create and allow this as a transition area.
Mayor Kelly suggested and encouraged Mr. Atkins to review other similar
developments and their percentages of open space. He stated 18.3 percent is the
smallest open space allowed in a development since 2004.
Mayor Kelly asked Mr. Atkins if this is his first time to develop in Colleyville. Mr.
Atkins replied yes. Mayor Kelly stated most developments are created with more
open space for more amenities for the residents of that neighborhood, which
creates a more attractive community.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked Mayor Kelly if he desires to have more open space or
larger lots in this development. Mayor Kelly replied he would like to see more
open space, which may mean a reduction in the number of lots.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor agreed this is a transition area; however, the lot footprints
do appear to be small.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned staff regarding why this developer is not
improving his half of Roberts Road. City Engineer Jeremy Hutt replied there are
two things when determining the perimeter street situation, the roadway impact
fees and the cost necessary for street development. He stated the developer is
responsible for the higher of the two. He stated for this situation, and given the
lot count, more than likely it will be the roadway impact fee, paid at the time of
the building permit, which would cover the cost of the perimeter street.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned staff regarding the overall plan for Roberts
Road. Engineer Hutt replied City Developer Agreements have been created for
situations such as these, and staff will review to see if there is value in having an
agreement to cost-share the roadway improvement.
This is the first reading of this item; therefore, City Council did not take any action
on this item during this meeting.

and briefed the City Council. He stated being hopeful he could provide an update
for the December 16th meeting.
Councilmember Hart asked Mayor Kelly if the applicant does not have enough
time, before the December 16th meeting, if a continuance may be allowed. Mayor
Kelly said yes, especially since staff will need to review any amendments to the
plan.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned Mr. Starnes regarding if he is planning to work
something out with the adjacent developer. Mr. Starnes replied no, not
necessarily. He stated he would like to see the revised site plan to see if revisions
have been made to the lot sizes and the compliance with the open space
requirements. He stated it may determine the layout of this development.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned Mr. Starnes regarding why the plan would not
work for having the homes to face Roberts Road. Mr. Starnes replied he did not
believe the Master Plan would allow homes to front collector streets. Director
Ruthven stated the Master Plan does not recommend homes fronting collector
streets on lots of less than an estate sized lot.
Mayor Kelly asked staff if a slip-street would work. Director Ruthven replied it is
something to be considered. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated there is a slip-street
along Martin Lane; however, the design of this development does need some
revision so that the product works.
Mayor Kelly suggested Mr. Starnes drive-by the homes along Martin Lane to see
the slip-street, and how this development may be revised so that it works in this
area. Councilmember Hart concurred.
There were no others present wishing to speak and Mayor Kelly closed the public
hearing at 10:32 p.m.
