MEMORANDUM
TO: Parks and Recreation Advisory Board
FROM: Dianne McWethy, Assistant City Manager
DATE: April 17,2000
SUBJECT: Discussion and Consideration of use of Voluntary Park Fund
monies for construction of Cottonbelt Trail, Phase I
On January 6, 1998, the cities of Colleyville, Southlake and North Richland Hills
entered into an interlocal agreement forming the Tri-City Trail Committee (TCTC)
for the development and construction of the Cotton belt Trail. Since 1998, the
cities have continued to work with Mesa Design Group, Texas Department of
Transportation (TxDOT) and Dallas Area Regional Transportation (DART) to
complete the design of the trail within monies allocated for Phase I. In May 1998,
the Southlake City Council authorized the release of extraterritorial jurisdiction
and inclusion to the limits of the City of Grapevine the land comprising the project
area of the Cottonbelt Trail.
Each city has faced funding issues related to the design and construction of the
Cottonbelt Trail. In March 1999, preliminary engineering and cost estimates for
each of the three (3) cities exceeded approved funding, with the
Southlake/Grapevine portion exceeding approved funding by $137,420. In
October 1999, North Richland Hills and Colleyville received approval to reduce
their trail limits to attempt to address identified funding shortfalls. Unfortunately,
since Southlake did not receive approval to reduce the trail limits, they faced a
funding shortfall of $137,420.
Although the Colleyville trail limit was reduced, the City faced a funding shortfall
of $128,419.30. After reviewing the cost constraints associated with the design
and construction of three (3) railroad crossings (John McCain Road, Pleasant
Run Road and Bransford Road), it was determined that the entire length of the
Cottonbelt Trail within Colleyville would be built on the north side of the DART
rights-of-way. On April 18, the City Council will consider approving the use of
$35,000 of Parkland Dedication Fund monies to purchase trail right-of-way and
construction of 1,100 linear feet of fencing along the property of Joe Tirk to
further reduce Phase I cost estimates. This approval would bring the total project
within the available budget allocation, with a contingency of only $4,681.70.
In October 1999, the cities of Grapevine, Colleyville and Hurst submitted and
received Congestion, Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ)
grant monies for the design and construction of the Cottonbelt Trail, Phase II,
project.
The award of the CMAQ funding for the City of Grapevine relieved the City of
Southlake of all cost exceeding the Statewide Transportation Enhancement
Program (STEP) funding. However, with the announcement of awarded projects,
TxDOT also approved the expansion of State Highway 26, which would allow for
the most cost efficient trail alignment across Big Bear Creek with construction of
a widened pedestrian/vehicular bridge. Since the project milestones for the
expansion of State Highway 26 exceeded the available timeframe of the current
STEP funding, the cities of Southlake and Colleyville initiated efforts to approach
TxDOT to determine if Southlake grant monies, in the amount of $240,000, could
be transferred to the Colleyville project. This transfer would address cost
overruns on the Cotton belt Trail, Phase I, project, meet the timing of the grant
funding cycle and provide Colleyville with additional contingency monies, if
needed.
If construction bids for the Colleyville Cotton belt Trail, Phase I, project exceed the
estimated project cost of $1,055,318.30, the City would be required to provide
total funding to cover any shortfall. The transfer of Southlake grant monies would
provide Colleyville with additional contingency monies to address any potential
funding shortfall and/or provide for enhancements, such as parking and
pedestrian staging areas for trail accessibility.
Approval of the transfer of the City of Southlake grant monies, in the amount of
$240,000, to the Colleyville Cotton belt Trail, Phase I, project would require a 20%
local share match of $48,000.
On the basis of the above, staff requests approval of the use of $48,000 of
Voluntary Park Fund monies to serve as a local match (20%) for the reallocation
of the City of Southlake grant monies to Colleyville. As of February 29, 2000, the
unencumbered balance of the Voluntary Park Fund is $139,222. (See attached
Voluntary Park Fund Financial Status). This funding request is contingent upon
approval of the Southlake City Council.
The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board recommendation will be presented to
the City Council on May 2 for consideration. If approved by the cities of
Southlake and Colleyville, the funding transfer request will be submitted to the
local and state TxDOT offices and the Commission for consideration and
approval.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Parks and Recreation Advisory Board
FROM: Dianne McWethy, Assistant City Manager
DATE: April 27,2000
SUBJECT: Texas Recreational Trails Fund Grant - Sparger Park Trail
Restoration
In 1999, the City worked with Bowman-Melton Associates to prepare and submit
a State Transportation Enhancement Program (STEP) grant application for the
Little Bear Creek Trail Extension project extending from the Colleyville Nature
Center to Sparger Park. Unfortunately, this project was not approved for grant
funding.
The STEP grant application also included monies for the restoration of the 4'
wide asphalt-walking path in Sparger Park, which is now severely deteriorated.
The Sparger Park trail provides access to adjacent neighborhoods, particularly to
the existing Tara subdivision trail system.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) administers the National
Recreational Trail Fund, under the approval of the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA). This program receives its funding from a portion of the
federal gas taxes paid on fuel used in non-highway recreational vehicles. These
funds may be spent on both motorized and non-motorized trail projects to
construct new recreational trails, improve/maintain existing trails,
develop/improve trailheads or trailside facilities, and acquire trail corridors.
Funding for this program is on a cost reimbursement basis. Project sponsors
must initiate their approved projects with their own funds and be reimbursed up
to 80 percent of allowable costs after submitting documentation of expenses.
Individual trail grant can range from $2,400 ($3,000 total project cost) to
$100,000 ($125,000 total project cost).
Since these grant funds may be used for trail restoration or rehabilitation,
including rerouting or repair of areas damaged by trail use, flooding, or erosion,
and the Sparger Park trail is in immediate need of repair and/or restoration, staff
has requested that Bud Melton, Bowman-Melton Associates, assist the City to
prepare a TWPD grant application for the Sparger Park trail. Bowman-Melton
has experience with preparing and submitting TPWD grant applications.
Project applications are evaluated in terms of overall quality, ability to serve
recreational needs, cost-effectiveness, benefits, community support, innovation,
geographic scope and distribution, and accommodation of barrier free access.
Projects, which serve multiple, compatible trail users will be given priority
Grant applications must be prepared and postmarked by June 1, 2000. Bowman-
Melton Associates will submit a proposal to the City by Friday, April 28, which will
be provided to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board at the May 1 meeting.
The anticipated timeline for this project will be notification of grant award in
December 2000, with construction to begin in the summer of 2001. To provide
adequate funding for the restoration and rehabilitation of the Sparger Park Trail,
staff requests that the Board approve the following:
1) Approve the use of Voluntary Park Fund monies to secure the services of
Bowman-Melton Associates for the preparation and submittal of the TPWD
grant application for Sparger Park; and
2) Approve the use of Voluntary Park Fund monies in the amount of $125,000,
with an 80% TPWD reimbursement up to $100,000, for a net expenditure of
$25,000.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me.

Dear Dianne,
Attached is our proposal to prepare a Texas Recreational Trails Fund application for funding
renovation of the pathway in Sparger Park. Thank you for contacting us.
With regard to your budget, the amount shown in the May 20, 1999 draft table from Carter &
Burgess listed that section as a separate add-on with a figure of $52,800.00 - for purposes of
excluding that section if necessary to qualify for STEP funding. As a stand-alone project, there
will likely be other related costs not included in that sum. Although we're reasonably confident
you can reach your objective, keep in mind any overmatch you can assure will make for an even
stronger application, especially if coupled with strong current evidence of local support.
While we're confident the project qualifies as a "trail restoration or rehabilitation project," the
application guide makes reference to a project minimum of}'2 mile (listed in item 6 on page 3).
At approximately 1,320' the Sparger Park trail is just over %-mile. But given the loss of
wheelchair accessibility throughout the park - including to the Veterans' Memorial, the
playground and the new restrooms - the reconstruction will provide 100% "disabled access"
through the park, an acceptable exception according to that same page 3 listing.
Given the surrounding nature along Little Bear Creek, you may also want to consider enhancing
the interpretation along the pathway, to further strengthen the candidacy of the project.
I will contact Andy Goldbloom as soon as possible to get his opinion as to the eligibility-strength
of this project, hopefully before Monday. I'll advise you of his response as soon as I speak with
him.
We look forward to the opportunity to further serve your trail needs.
Sincerely,
Annie Melton

MEMORANDUM

FROM: Dianne McWethy, Assistant City Manager
DATE: April 28, 2000
SUBJECT: Proposed Amendments to Parkland Dedi ation Ordinance
I
At the April 18 City Council meeting, the Council requested that staff consider the
impact of private parks on the total acres required for the City's build-out
population of 25,540. In response to this request, I have enclosed a
memorandum prepared by City Manager Bob Stripling in response to the
Council's request for additional information.
The 2nd Reading and Public Hearing of proposed amendments to the Parkland
Dedication Ordinance is on the May 2 City Council agenda.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me.

FROM: ITY MANAGER
DATE: APRIL 28, 200
SUBJECT: PARK LAND DEDICATION FEES
During the discussion of the proposed increase in park land dedication fees at the last
Council meeting, the Council discussed two important issues: how best to treat private
open space when attempting to determine the total future park land needs of the city
and the level at which park land dedication fees become excessive.
During the process of updating the Park Master Plan, private open space was
recognized as a positive contribution to overall park needs (see page 92 of the plan
attached). Private open space meets the requirements for some of the Neighborhood
Park deficit. That is one of the reasons that the Park Master Plan emphasizes
Community Parks as the focus for future land acquisition (see pages 54-55 of the Plan
attached).
The City of Colleyville is well behind most of our neighbors in acquiring public park land.
As set forth on pages 61-63 of the Park Master Plan (see attached), only the cities of
Bedford and Hurst have less public park land per thousand population.
When the City Council adopted the updated Park Master Plan, they set the total park
land need at 330 acres with 184 acres in place at the time. The Master Plan does not
recognize private open space as meeting any of the 330 acre objective. Although
private park land serves a number of important purposes including temporary storm
water detention, passive recreation facilities and open areas for our more dense
housing developments, most private park land does not meet the minimum standards
for many public park uses (see facility needs on pages 58-59 of Plan attached).
The attached summary of private open space shows that twenty-two subdivisions offer
this amenity with a total of approximately 158 acres. Excluded from this total is the 88
acres that comprise the Timarron Golf Course in Colleyville. This private open space
provides welcome natural areas and limited Neighborhood Park facilities for the
enjoyment of those who are fortunate enough to live in subdivisions with this amenity.
However, if all of the park land dedication fees recommended by the Parks Board were
used for land purchase, we would still be short 65 acres of park land at build out. The
deduction of this 65 acres from the park land dedication fee calculation represents one
way of allowing partial credit for the private open space.
Among the reasons for not counting all of the private open space towards the goal of
public parks are:
1. Private park areas are usually located in flood prone areas, the least useful
land in a subdivision. Periodic flooding rules out most active recreation uses
and results in high maintenance costs.
2. The distribution of private park acreage is not in direct proportion to the
number of dwelling units served. For instance, Woodland Hills has 17
dwelling units per acre of private open space and the Woods of Colleyville
has 112 dwelling units per acre. Private open space does not offer
opportunities for subdivisions with such disparities to share, Public parks are
open to everyone and are located so that most subdivisions are within a
reasonable distance of some substantial park area.
3. Only five subdivisions have private open space areas of more than ten acres.
Almost one-third of the subdivisions with private open space have areas of
less than two acres.
4. Many of the priorities contained in the Park Master Plan call for construction
of improvements. Even if there were some arrangement for building public
facilities in private open space, most of the private space is not useful for
such facilities because of flooding, topography and proximity to dwelling units,
The second area of concern, the possible excessive amount of the proposed park land
dedication fee, can be viewed in several ways:
1. The proposed fee of $1802 per residential lot is a 50% increase over the last
fee adopted and almost six times the original fee.
2. The original fee and the last increase, did not come close to providing enough
funds for meeting land acquisition needs. In order to meet these needs, we
have had to create new taxes and tax current residents for new resident
needs.
3. At $1802, the proposed fee represents less than one-half of one percent of
the selling price of the average new home ($405,000 in 1998).
4. Although Colleyville's proposed fee is above the existing fees of both
Keller ($1000) and Southlake ($1500), the Colleyville fee will be in effect
for at least five years (until the Park Master Plan is revised). Our total fee
package for single-family homes is higher than that of Keller or Southlake,
but fees as a percentage of home value is competitive (see attached exhibit).
5. The proposed fee represents the amount needed to purchase new public
parkland that will be needed for the new residents. Reducing the proposed
fee of $1802 will mean require a choice between two alternatives. Our first
option would be to reduce the total park land goal when we are already well
behind many of our neighbors. Our second option would be to collect the
needed funds through property or sales taxes. This would mean that current
residents would have to pay the lion's share of the land cost for the parkland
needed for newcomers to Colleyville.
6. Reducing the fee and lowering the amount of money available for purchasing
public parkland will lengthen the time for making such acquisitions as the best
sites are developed for residential construction.
The fee alternatives each assume that future public parkland will be bought for an
average price of $45,000 per acre. Shown below are the amounts each fee is projected
to provide,

Even the highest of the fees will leave us 65 acres short of our goal at build out
($2,925,000).
The Council will make the final judgment as to what level of fees is the best. However,
unless the goals of the Park Master Plan are reduced, we will merely pass the majority
of the cost of new parks from new residents to those already here.

Recommendations for Land Acquisition
During the needs assessment phase, a common theme of "more land acquisition" was expressed by
participants of focus groups and also members of the Master Plan Advisory Committee. The citizen
survey listed Open Spaces, Additional Neighborhood Parks and Natural Areas among the top
twelve priorities. (See page 80)
Currently Colleyville owns/leases 184.43 acres of land. As compared to NRPA guidelines. with a
population of 19,250, the City has a current short fall of 79.76 acres. Base~ on the NR~A Park
Classification System (page 51) the City specifically needs to acquire the follOWing acreages In three
(3) of the park categories to meet the current population needs in Colleyville.
Mini-Park
Neighborhood Park
Community Park
7.75 Acres
7.64 Acres
64 37 Acres
79.76 Total Land Acquisition
(To meet 1999 population of 19,250, see page 56)
As the City continues to grow towards its ultimate buildout population of 25,540, the shortfall in park
land acres will increase to 145.81. Specifically, the City will need to acquire the following acreages
in 3 of the park categories to meet the buildout population needs in Colleyville.
Mini-Park
Neighborhood Park
Community Park
10.90 Acres
20.22 Acres
11469 Acres
145.81 Total Land Acquisition
(To meet 2020 population of 25,540, see page 56)
-
The City of Colleyville is unique because in most of the residential subdivisions, private open space
has been set aside for the use of residents who live there. Though the City has been unable to
quantify the amount of open space set aside. the Future Land Use Map (page 91) shows private open
space to be well distributed throughout the City limits. (For a list of sub-divisions with private open
space, see page 44). Because the City includes well distributed private open space, the need for
additional neighborhood park sites is not as prevalent. Therefore, the focus of land acquisition should
shift to larger land acquisition tracts that could accommodate community parks, greenway corridors
and natural open spaces.
Jt
-
Open spaces and natural areas, as already mentioned, were also high priority items. This type of park
land is important, particularly because preservation of greenway corridors helps maintain riparian
habitats, reduces the danger of flooding, and protects the natural environment. Open spaces and
natural areas can also become connections from residential neighborhoods to schools, parks,
shopping centers and other destinations.
The City of COlleyville, like other cities, has a Parkland Dedication Ordinance (see Appendix C) which
helps to acquire needed park land acres. Currently a formula is used to calculate acreage or dollar
equivalents that developers must donate to the City when their developments are platted.

Comparison of Park Land Acreage and NRPA Guidelines
Based upon the NRPA standards for each of the previous park classifications. the recommended park
acreage per 1,000 population ranges from 11.25 to 20.5 acres, The City of Colleyville includes a total
of 184.43 acres for a ratio of 9.58 acres per 1,000 population at its current population of 19,250.
When evaluating Colleyville's total park acreage as compared to NRPA Standards, it reflects that the
City is currently below recommended standards. The City currently has a total of 184.43 acres of park
land, and is below the recommended park acreage standard by 79.76 acres. By the year 2020, the
shortage of park acres will increase to 145.81 acres. More specifically, by the year 2020, with a
projected population of 25,540, the City of Colleyville will have a shortfall of 10.90 acres of mini-park
land, a shortage of 20.22 acres of neighborhood park land and a shortage of 114.69 acres of
community park land.
The tables on the following pages summarize the NRPA acreage standards and the standards applied
to the existing parks in Colleyville.

Comparison of Peer Cities Park Acreage
The City of Colleyville designated eight (8) Peer Cities based on similarities in city size, location,
proximity to other cities and other economic factors. The table on the following page outlines the
comparison of Colleyville with several basic statistics of the selected cities. Park land for the Peer
Cities, as for Colleyville, includes owned, leased, developed and undeveloped land. Comparison with
Peer Cities allows a more regional context for park land acreages provided by similar cities within
Texas.
In comparison with the eight (8) Peer Cities, Colleyville ranks seventh in the amount of park land acres
per 1,000 population with 9.58 acres per 1,000. Highland Village, with 51.23 acres per 1,000
population ranks highest while Bedford, with 5.18 acres per 1,000 population ranks lowest.

Comparison of Facility Development and NRPA Recommendations
Another way to analyze Colleyville's park system as compared to NRPA Standards is by facility
development. This allows a detailed review of current facilities available versus recommended facility
development based upon population numbers. Facilities comparison allows the City to determine
where more recreation facilities are needed in the community.
The following table provides a detailed facility review based upon the 1999 population and the
projected year 2020 population in Colleyville compared to NRPA recommendations. While the City
appears to meet or exceed the recommendation for trail development, baseball fields and soccer
fields, consideration should be given to the need for more practice areas. Also, while the City counts
11 soccer fields (league), only one at Pleasant Run Soccer Complex is lighted and available for
night-time use. Areas in which the City falls short of the recommended number of facilities include
outdoor basketball courts, football fields, tennis courts and outdoor volleyball areas.
NRPA Guidelines also address the need for passive recreation facilities such as pavilions/picnic
shelters, picnic tables and playgrounds. The City of Colleyville falls short in these three categories
for providing passive amenities to its residents.
