DECEMBER 21,2004
There was no one present wishing to speak concerning this item and Mayor Hocutt
closed the public hearing.
Community Development Manager Barry LeBaron provided an overview of the request
for the Encroachment and Joint Use Agreement.
Discussion ensued regarding the removal of the trees and shrubs and drainage.
Mayor Hocutt stated that Ms. Susie Grundy requested that it be stated for the record
that she is opposed to Resolution R-04-2489 and that the City should not give away
property.
Discussion continued regarding the provisions for removal of trees in the right-of-way in
the Land Development Code.
City Attorney Ross Foster stated, "Barry may be looking at it from the perspective of
what is required as opposed to what is prohibited. I don't think the Land Development
Code goes into everything that is prohibited. This gets into different areas as far as the
actual ownership of the property. I don't know on this particular property whether the
City owns the right-of-way in fee or whether we simply have an easement and the
adjacent property owners own to the middle of the roadway the underlying fee. There
are different ways in which the City holds easements for rights-of-way. If the owner
owns the fee underneath the right-of-way, which is on your property, as long as you are
not doing something inconsistent with the City's right to use the property as right-of -
way, then you have the continued right to manage or use your property in that fashion.
That same thing would be true on this particular street if the individual owns the
underlying fee to the middle of the roadway. I don't know whether they do or they don't.
If they don't own the underlying fee, then they have no right to go upon that property
and do anything, and that would also be true of any other property owner that doesn't
have the right to go upon either property the City owns in fee or where someone else
owns the underlying fee; they don't have the right to go upon that property and remove
anything or do anything of that nature".
Mayor Pro Tem Ayers moved to deny Resolution R-04-2489.
Councilman Skinner seconded the motion.
Ayes: Councilpersons Skinner, Dolan, Hendler, Hart and Mayor Pro Tem Ayers
Nays: None
Mayor Hocutt declared the motion carried.

To: Colleyville City Council
From: Board of Trustees, Covenant Christian Academy
Re: Use of Portable Buildings
On behalf of the Covenant Christian Academy (CCA) Board of Trustees, we
would like to request a (minimum) 3-year extension to the permit for the use of
our portable buildings on the campus of CCA and Colleyville Presbyterian
Church (CPe) for the following reasons:
1. The temporary portable buildings located on the campus of CPC are owned
by Covenant Christian Academy. CPC has graciously allowed CCA to place
the buildings on their property, in exchange for the use of the buildings on
Sundays for the church's classroom space. During the week, CCA uses the
buildings as elementary school classrooms, grades 1-6. Together (CCA and
CPC), the buildings provide valuable educational needs for nearly 500
Colleyville and Colleyville-area families on a weekly basis.
2. It is very difficult to anticipate the classroom needs for growing schools from
year to year, and growth frequently outpaces the funding required to
accommodate such growth. This is evident by the GCISD schools in our city
that also use portables (i.e., Heritage Middle, Colleyville Middle, Colleyville
Elementary, et. al.). Consequently, temporary classrooms allow schools to
continue to operate until sufficient building funds can be raised for
permanent classrooms. CCA is in a strong growth mode and requires
temporary classrooms to meet our growing enrollment until a permanent
facility can be built.
3. CCA fully understands and agrees that temporary classrooms are not
desirable, long-term solutions. Consequently, for the past year the CCA
Board of Trustees and administration have been actively pursuing funding
options to build a permanent lower school facility, thus eliminating the
school's need for portable classrooms. Currently, the school is laying the
groundwork for a fundraising campaign, with the expectation to have a
permanent facility built within the next 3 years.
4. CCA has a PUD-C zoning which provides for permanent classroom
structures on the property behind our current facility (built as Phase I of our
master plan). Phase II of our master plan calls for a lower school classroom
building, and we are currently exploring timely, aesthetic, and economical
construction options to meet our growing enrollment.
CCA has been a valuable asset in our community for 25 years (this is our silver
anniversary year). CCA's graduates' SAT scores ranks it 3m among all private
schools in Tarrant county. The school's reputation and college prep curriculum
have attracted many families to relocate to Colleyville, and has served an
educational niche in our community. The low-cost portables have allowed the
school to grow and help fund our existing building (completed in 2000), and are
now allowing the school to maintain low tuition and high educational value. We
believe that this combination will enable the school to raise funds more quickly
for permanent structures, and eliminate our need for portable buildings.
We graciously ask that the City leaders allow CCA to continue on this master-
planned path of fundraising and construction, and grant the school a 3-year
extension to the permit for the use of our portable buildings.
If the Council has any questions regarding our plans or needs, feel free to contact
one of the following school leaders:

SUBJECT : Approval of a request by Colleyville Presbyterian
Church to extend the time period to allow two
portable buildings to remain on the property located
at 715 Cheek Sparger Road, Case G-04-034 - by
Consent
Reading and Public Hearing
The Colleyville Presbyterian Church, located at 715 Cheek Sparger Road, has requested
permission to allow two temporary buildings to remain on the property for three years. The two
portable buildings were placed on the property with the approval of Resolution R-01-1778 on
April 3, 2001. The initial time period has expired and the church is requesting the time period
be extended for three years, which will extend through the end of December 2007. No
construction plans have been submitted for any permanent buildings to replace the portable
buildings on this campus.
The two buildings are being used for classrooms. The buildings are 24' x 64' in size, and
include heating and air conditioning systems and restrooms. The buildings are located west of
the playground area, as indicated on the site plan.
There are currently four other modular buildings at this location. Two buildings were moved to
the church property in 1991 and two others were added in 1996. The approving resolutions do
not impose any time limitations on these four portable buildings placed on the property several
years ago.
Attached is a letter from Mr. Dale Smith, Pastor, requesting the additional time period.
Also attached is a copy of Section 18-33 from the Code of Ordinances, which contains the
regulations for buildings moved into the city.

SUBJECT: Approval of a Zoning Change from AG to R40 on
Block 1, Lots 1 and 2, Cooper Addition located at
7300 John McCain Road, Case Z-04-039
Second Reading and Public Hearing
First Reading and Public Hearing
Backqround
Bailey Draper is the developer of 4.69 acres located on the east side of John McCain Road,
just south of Bandit Trail. Mr. Draper has submitted a request to change the zoning on the
property from AG Agricultural to R40 Single Family Residential. The applicant is seeking a
zoning change in order to construct new residences on the property for his father and brother.
Mr. Draper's father and brother are the current owners of the property.
Single family residences are currently located on the property. The surrounding property is
residential in nature. Properties to the north, south and east are zoned AG and are developed
as single family residences. Property to the west, across John McCain Road, is zoned R20
and is developed as a single family residence. The Master Plan indicates that all the property
on Colleyville Boulevard is anticipated to be developed for commercial uses in the future.
The Colleyville Plan contains as a goal to "preserve the superior quality of Colleyville's
residential neighborhoods". This particular goal includes several objectives relative to this
zoning change request:
. Continue development of luxury residential areas while maintaining the "country feel"
along major collector streets
. Encourage redevelopment of older properties located along major collector streets into
estate settings
. Preserve larger lot sizes, i.e., 30,000 sq. ft. and up, and promote the redevelopment or
combination of smaller lots into larger estate lots
. Encourage large scale single lot development on major thoroughfares as "estate"
properties
The portion of John McCain Road adjacent to this property is classified as a Minor Collector
street by the Master Thoroughfare Plan. The proposed request appears to satisfy the
objectives of this goal. This property is also located in Neighborhood 6, as identified in The
Agenda Briefing
Ordinance 0-04-1498
Page 2 of 2
Colleyville Plan. One of the significant neighborhood issues identified by the citizens during
the preparation of the plan was to maintain areas for larger lot development.
Impact Issues
1. Master Plan. This property is in Neighborhood 6, as identified in The Colleyville Plan. The
property is designated for future use as single family residential land uses. This request is
consistent with the goals and objectives of The Colleyville Plan.
2. Surrounding Properties. All of the surrounding properties are developed as single-family
residences, either within a subdivision or on acreage tracts.
3. Development Trends. The long-term trend for this area is for single-family development.
Over the last five years, several new single family subdivisions have been constructed
southwest of the property.
4. Infrastructure. Water and sanitary sewer services are available along adjacent rights-of-
way. The developer is responsible for the extension of utilities to the lot if necessary.
5. Property Taxes. According to information available from the Tarrant Appraisal District, the
property is valued at $315,900. The estimated City property tax revenue for the property is
$1,097 annually. The future property tax revenue would depend upon the value of each
individual lot and the value of the house built on the lot.
6. Traffic Generation. Since the two proposed lots are already developed with single family
residences, no increase in traffic generation is expected.
7. Public Notification. Staff mailed notices to 16 adjacent property owners regarding this
request. Notice was published in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram as required by state law
and the Land Development Code. No correspondence has been received regarding this
request.
The Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing and considered this request
at the November 22, 2004 meeting. The Commission recommended approval by a unanimous
vote.

Subject: Temporary Sales and Construction Offices
Thank you, Bill. It is as you say in your email copied below, that is, we intend
only one sales and one construction office in the combination of Old Grove, Old
Grove Phase II (the old Parker property), Whittier Heights, and Whittier Heights
Phase II (the old Baker property).
I would appreciate Barry doing as you describe below with respect to adding
language to the two CDA's (plus language that provides the same consideration
of construction office office we also need) that the Council is now considering for
these developments, so that for purposes of enforcing the 90% lot sales cap
those developments will be considered as one with respect to when the sales
office and construction office must be closed and removed from the
development( s).
Please let me know if we need to work on this further with you, including
supplying an electronic version of the CDA's.
Thanks again for working with us on this.

David,
I appreciate your kind words and support with the staff effort to work with your
suggestions. In regards to your observation on the sales center, I think your
suggestion has merit. By this email, I will ask Barry to make the appropriate
modifications to the developer agreements prior to the next City Council meeting.
In the alternate though of considering the three developments as one single
subdivision, I think it is more clear and correct that the CDA simply provide that
for purposes of sales centers, the three subdivisions are considered inclusive for
the purpose of hosting a sales center and construction office. My assumption
from your email is though that there would only be one sales center for all three
developments together. Obviously, having a three separate sales centers but
allowing each to remain open until the last development meets the threshold
would be a stretch with the legislative intent of the ordinance.
May your family have a joyous holiday and a wonderful new year.
Bill

Subject: Temporary Office
I greatly appreciate the Staff's listening ear on the temporary office issues in 0-
04-1497 that I raised last week. At the Council meeting last night, I read the draft
twice and came to the conclusion that, except for one thing, it meets our needs.
As I went on to say to the Council, I think the outcome is a nice example of
collaboration in what I believe is best for everyone. Thank you you for that
collaboration. I recognize that time was short for you in evaluating my
perspectives and also thank you for the extra effort involved in responding timely.
As I got it, the Council adopted 0-04-1497 last night, so we may now apply for
both a temporary (light) construction office and a sales office in Whittier Heights
Phase II. As you know, we intend to combine them in one portable building.
Also, as I understand it, both construction and sales offices are now controlled
by Chapter 3, Section 3.24.D, paragraph 1 of the Land Development Code. I
would appreciate your confirming my understandings in these regards.
If things are as they seem, there is still one obstacle to our employing a sales
and (light) construction office as we wish. The location we prefer is on Lot 1 of
Whittier Heights Phase II (the most northern lot across from Cary Clarke's model
at the n/w corner of Providence and Harmony). The problem arises because
expect to sell the six other lots in Whittier Heights Phase II long before we have
come close to the ordinance's 90% lot sales cap for Whittier Heights Phase I and
for what we now call "Old Grove at Whittier Heights" (since Old Grove and
Whittier Heights are now connected). My concern is that an early sellout in
Whittier Heights Phase II would result in our having to close the sales and (light)
construction office there, as Whittier Heights Phase II would be deemed a
separate "subdivision" under Chapter 3, Section 3.24.D, paragraph 1.
My solution to this potential problem for us is to have the CDA's of Whittier
Heights and Whittier Heights Phase II and Old Grove and Old Grove Phase II
supplemented with this language:
For purposes of determining percent of lot sales with respect to Chapter 3,
Section 3.24.D, paragraph 1 of the Land Development Code, Whittier Heights,
Whittier Heights Phase II, Old Grove and Old Grove Phase II shall be deemed a
single subdivision.
If this is satisfactory, please let me know, and we will produce a revision to the
Whittier Heights and Old Grove COA's that we've been working on principally
with Chad and send them to him for inclusion in the next Council packet. If this is
not satisfactory in concept or in approach, please let me know what else we may
work out with you to prevent our having to prematurely shut down the temporary
(light) construction office and sales office in Whittier Heights Phase II.
Thank you.

Subject: Temporary Sales and Construction Offices
Thank you, Bill. It is as you say in your email copied below, that is, we intend
only one sales and one construction office in the combination of Old Grove, Old
Grove Phase II (the old Parker property), Whittier Heights, and Whittier Heights
Phase II (the old Baker property).
I would appreciate Barry doing as you describe below with respect to adding
language to the two CDA's (plus language that provides the same consideration
of construction office office we also need) that the Council is now considering for
these developments, so that for purposes of enforcing the 90% lot sales cap
those developments will be considered as one with respect to when the sales
office and construction office must be closed and removed from the
development( s).
Please let me know if we need to work on this further with you, including
supplying an electronic version of the CDA's.
Thanks again for working with us on this.

David,
I appreciate your kind words and support with the staff effort to work with your
suggestions. In regards to your observation on the sales center, I think your
suggestion has merit. By this email, I will ask Barry to make the appropriate
modifications to the developer agreements prior to the next City Council meeting.
In the alternate though of considering the three developments as one single
subdivision, I think it is more clear and correct that the CDA simply provide that
for purposes of sales centers, the three subdivisions are considered inclusive for
the purpose of hosting a sales center and construction office. My assumption
from your email is though that there would only be one sales center for all three
developments together. Obviously, having a three separate sales centers but
allowing each to remain open until the last development meets the threshold
would be a stretch with the legislative intent of the ordinance.
May your family have a joyous holiday and a wonderful new year.
Bill

Subject: Temporary Office
I greatly appreciate the Staff's listening ear on the temporary office issues in 0-
04-1497 that I raised last week. At the Council meeting last night, I read the draft
twice and came to the conclusion that, except for one thing, it meets our needs.
As I went on to say to the Council, I think the outcome is a nice example of
collaboration in what I believe is best for everyone. Thank you you for that
collaboration. I recognize that time was short for you in evaluating my
perspectives and also thank you for the extra effort involved in responding timely.
As I got it, the Council adopted 0-04-1497 last night, so we may now apply for
both a temporary (light) construction office and a sales office in Whittier Heights
Phase II. As you know, we intend to combine them in one portable building.
Also, as I understand it, both construction and sales offices are now controlled
by Chapter 3, Section 3.24.D, paragraph 1 of the Land Development Code. I
would appreciate your confirming my understandings in these regards.
If things are as they seem, there is still one obstacle to our employing a sales
and (light) construction office as we wish. The location we prefer is on Lot 1 of
Whittier Heights Phase II (the most northern lot across from Cary Clarke's model
at the n/w corner of Providence and Harmony). The problem arises because
expect to sell the six other lots in Whittier Heights Phase II long before we have
come close to the ordinance's 90% lot sales cap for Whittier Heights Phase I and
for what we now call "Old Grove at Whittier Heights" (since Old Grove and
Whittier Heights are now connected). My concern is that an early sellout in
Whittier Heights Phase II would result in our having to close the sales and (light)
construction office there, as Whittier Heights Phase II would be deemed a
separate "subdivision" under Chapter 3, Section 3.24.D, paragraph 1.
My solution to this potential problem for us is to have the CDA's of Whittier
Heights and Whittier Heights Phase II and Old Grove and Old Grove Phase II
supplemented with this language:
For purposes of determining percent of lot sales with respect to Chapter 3,
Section 3.24.D, paragraph 1 of the Land Development Code, Whittier Heights,
Whittier Heights Phase II, Old Grove and Old Grove Phase II shall be deemed a
single subdivision.
If this is satisfactory, please let me know, and we will produce a revision to the
Whittier Heights and Old Grove CDA's that we've been working on principally
with Chad and send them to him for inclusion in the next Council packet. If this is
not satisfactory in concept or in approach, please let me know what else we may
work out with you to prevent our having to prematurely shut down the temporary
(light) construction office and sales office in Whittier Heights Phase II.
Thank you.

DEPARTMENT: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
SUBJECT: Approval of a Zoning Change from R30 to R20 on
Block 1, Lot 29R, Westcoat Place Addition located
at 6002 Westcoat Drive, Case Z-04-040
First Reading and Public Hearing
Backqround
Michael Pisciottano is the owner of a 1.03 acre lot located on the west side of Westcoat Drive,
just north of L.D. Lockett Road. Mr. Pisciottano has submitted a request to change the zoning
on the property from R30 Single Family Residential to R20 Single Family Residential. The
applicant is seeking a zoning change in order to divide the property into two residential lots.
The property in question is a vacant platted lot. The lot is 300 feet wide and 150 feet deep. If
the property were zoned R20, the lot could be subdivided into two lots of 22,500 square feet
each. The R20 district requires a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet, a minimum lot width
of 100 feet, and a minimum lot depth of 125 feet. A subdivision plat must be submitted in order
to divide the property. At the time of platting, any public utility improvements must be provided,
including improvements to the perimeter street.
The surrounding property is residential in nature. Properties to the north and west are zoned
R30 and are developed as single family residences. Property to the east, across Westcoat
Drive, is zoned R40 and is developed as a single family residence. The properties to the south
are zoned R40 and R20 and are developed as single family residences. The Master Plan
indicates that all the property in the area is anticipated to be developed for residential use in
the future.
The property in the general area of Westcoat Drive and L.D. Lockett Road is zoned for
residential use. Most of the property is zoned R40, and some specific areas are zoned R30,
R20 and R15. The lot sizes in the area vary greatly. The lot sizes on Westcoat Drive, across
from and adjacent to the property in question, range from 13,500 square feet to 21,400 square
feet in area. Some of the lots on L.D. Lockett Road are 45,000 square feet and 60,000 square
feet in area, with others significantly smaller. There is no apparent pattern of lot sizes in the
area.
This property is located in Neighborhood 6 in The Colleyvi/le Plan. A significant neighborhood
issue identified by the citizens during the preparation of the plan is to "preserve home prices
and rural feel, lot sizes going forward should be increased from 1/3 acre to 1/2 acre." If the
Agenda Briefing
Ordinance 0-05-1501
Page 2 of 2
zoning change to R20 is approved, the property could be divided into two lots of 22,500 square
feet, or 1/2 acre, in size.
IMPACT ISSUES
1. Master Plan. This property is in Neighborhood 6, as identified in The Colleyville Plan. The
property is designated for future use as single family residential land uses. This request is
consistent with the goals and objectives of The Colleyville Plan.
2. Surrounding Properties. All of the surrounding properties are developed as single-family
residences, either within a subdivision or on acreage tracts.
3. Development Trends. Most of the property in the area is already developed with single
family residences, both within large subdivisions or on acreage tracts. The long-term trend
for this area is for single-family development, though few large tracts of land are available
for redevelopment.
4. Infrastructure. Water and sanitary sewer services are available along adjacent rights-of-
way. The developer is responsible for the extension of utilities to the lots if necessary.
5. Property Taxes. According to information available from the Tarrant Appraisal District, the
property is valued at $30,000. The estimated City property tax revenue for the property is
$104 annually. The future property tax revenue would depend upon the value of each
individual lot and the value of the house built on the lot.
6. Public Notification. Staff mailed notices to 16 adjacent property owners regarding this
request. Notice was published in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram as required by state law
and the Land Development Code. No correspondence has been received regarding this
req uest.
The Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing and considered this request
at the December 13, 2004 meeting. The Commission recommended approval by a unanimous
vote.

SUBJECT: Approval of a Zoning Change from AG to R40 and
R20 on Abstract 331, Tract 2C of the A. J. Caldwell
Survey, located at 1209 Tinker Road, Case Z-04-
041
First Reading and Public Hearing
Backqround
Dean DeCavitte is the developer of 3.67 acres located on the south side of Tinker Road, just
east of Emerald Drive. The property also has frontage on Hardage Lane. Mr. DeCavitte has
submitted a request to change the zoning on the property from the AG Agricultural district to
the R40 and R20 Single Family Residential districts. The applicant is seeking a zoning change
in order to construct new residences.
The property extends between Tinker Road and Hardage Lane. There is an existing house on
the property. The applicant submitted a zoning exhibit showing how the property is proposed
to be subdivided into five lots. A subdivision plat of the property will be reviewed by the
Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council at a future meeting. The proposed
zoning change is separated into two parts.
· The portion of the property adjacent to Tinker Road is proposed to be rezoned to R40.
The zoning exhibit shows two lots of 49,377 and 45,124 square feet in size. The lots
exceed the requirements of the R40 district, which requires a minimum lot size of
40,000 square feet.
· The portion of the property adjacent to Hardage Lane is proposed to be rezoned to R20.
The zoning exhibit shows three lots of 20,000 square feet in size, with a depth of 150
feet. The properties on Hardage Lane are zoned R20, and are developed as single
family residences. The R20 district requires a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet.
The surrounding property is residential in nature. Property to the north, across Tinker Road, is
zoned AG and is developed as single family residences. Properties to the west are zoned AG
and R20 and are developed as single family residences. Property to the east and south are
zoned R20 and are developed as single family residences. A copy of the zoning map for this
area is attached.
Agenda Briefing
Ordinance 0-05-1502

The Colleyvi/le Plan contains as a goal to "preserve the superior quality of Colleyville's
residential neighborhoods". This particular goal includes several objectives relative to this
zoning change request:
. Continue development of luxury residential areas while maintaining the "country feel"
along major collector streets
. Encourage redevelopment of older properties located along major collector streets into
estate settings
Tinker Road is classified as a Minor Collector street by the Master Thoroughfare Plan. The
proposed request appears to satisfy the objectives of this goal by maintaining estate style lots
on Tinker Road. The lots facing Hardage Lane will be similar in size to the existing lots on the
street.
This property is also located in Neighborhood 5, as identified in The Colleyvi/le Plan. One of
the significant neighborhood issues identified by the citizens during the preparation of the plan
was to keep residential density low by maintaining 1.7 dwelling units per acre or lower. The
proposed development has a density of 1.3 dwelling units per acre.
IMPACT ISSUES
1. Master Plan. This property is in Neighborhood 5, as identified in The Colleyvi/le Plan. The
property is designated for future use as single family residential land uses. This request is
consistent with the goals and objectives of The Colleyvi/le Plan.
2. Surrounding Properties. All of the surrounding properties are developed as single-family

3. Development Trends. Most of the property in the area is already developed with single

4. Infrastructure. Water and sanitary sewer services are available along adjacent rights-of-
way. The developer is responsible for the extension of utilities to the lots if necessary. The
developer is also responsible for street improvements at the time of platting and
construction.
5. Property Taxes. According to information available from the Tarrant Appraisal District, the
property is valued at $189,300. The estimated City property tax revenue for the property is
$658 annually. The future property tax revenue would depend upon the value of each
individual lot and the value of the house built on the lot.
Agenda Briefing
Ordinance 0-05-1502
Page 3 of 3
6. Traffic Generation. The Institute of Transportation Engineers publication Trip Generation
provides estimates of expected traffic generation based on land use. Data has been
collected in the United States and Canada since the 1960's, primarily in suburban
locations. Single-family residences are expected to generate 9.57 trips per day, on
average. Based on this average, the five proposed new residences would add 48 vehicle
trips per day to the surrounding roadways. Tinker Road is classified as a Minor Collector
on the Master Thoroughfare Plan. There are no available traffic counts for this area.
7. Public Notification. Staff mailed notices to 23 adjacent property owners regarding this
request. Notice was published in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram as required by state law
and the Land Development Code. No correspondence has been received regarding this
request.
The Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing and considered this request
at the December 13, 2004 meeting. The Commission recommended approval by a unanimous
vote.

DEPARTMENT: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
SUBJECT: Approval of a Zoning Change from AG and R40 to
PUD-R on 10.2 acres located at 909-1009 Lavaca
Trail, Case Z-04-035
Previous Action: None
First Reading and Public Hearing
Backqround
Royal Building Corporation and Comis Development are the developers of a 10.2-acre parcel
of property located on the south side of Lavaca Trail, just east of Precinct Line Road. The
applicant has submitted a request to change the zoning on the property from AG Agricultural
and R40 Single Family Residential to PUD-R Planned Unit Development Residential. The
owner is seeking a zoning change in order to develop the property as single family residences.
The developer proposes to construct 27 single family lots, with a minimum lot size of 11,175
square feet. The density of the proposed development is 2.64 dwelling units per acre. There
is one primary street entrance proposed on Lavaca Trail. The entrance is split between two
driving lanes separated by medians. The property is currently used for single family residential
purposes.
The surrounding property is single family residential in nature. All the surrounding property is
zoned R40, with the exception of the Emerald Park subdivision, located south of the site.
Emerald Park is zoned PUD-R and is developing as single family residences. The property at
both corners of Lavaca Trail and Precinct Line Road are zoned for commercial development.
The Land Development Code provides that the PUD-R district is "designed to encourage the
most appropriate uses of land, permit flexibility to encourage a more creative, efficient,
environmentally pleasing and aesthetic design regarding the spatial arrangement of buildings
and land uses, open spaces, circulation and transportation patterns, and considerations of
special site and topographic features." The PUD-R district also allows the Planning and
Zoning Commission and City Council to adopt specific requirements for this property that may
include special conditions to minimize or enhance the effect of the development on adjacent
properties. A draft copy of the rezoning ordinance for this property is attached, which is based
on the applicant's proposal.
Open Space. The PUD-R regulations require that 20% of the land area be dedicated as
private open space for leisure and recreational use by the residents in the development. The
open space also offsets the smaller lot sizes allowed in the PUD-R. The proposed
Agenda Briefing
Ordinance 0-05-1503
Page 2 of 4
development contains 1.38 acres of private open space, which is 13.52% of the development
area. The private open space areas are located within five wide medians in'the street, and in a
small park area in the southwest corner of the development. The developer has indicated that
walking trails would be constructed in the medians. New trees are proposed in the medians
and in the park area. A portion of the park area would include a storm water detention area,
which will be determined at the time of platting. The Land Development Code allows for the
Council to consider private open space towards the PUD-R requirements of 20% open space.
Number of Subdivision Entrances. The Land Development Code requires that subdivisions
with more than 12 lots must be served by two subdivision entrances. Several design options
are provided in the Code. The proposed street entrances do not meet the requirement for two
separate entrances into the subdivision. The entrances are 60 feet apart between centerlines;
the Land Development Code requires a minimum 100-foot separation between street
centerlines to qualify as two separate entrances. As proposed by the developer, the Land
Development Code will require that all houses within the subdivision contain an automatic fire
sprinkler system. The applicant is requesting that the entrance be approved as shown to
qualify as two separate entrances.
The following is an analysis of the major issues associated with this rezoning request.
Master Plan and Residential Density. The current Colleyville Master Plan (2004) suggests
that higher-density transitional single family developments should be located in the Precinct
Line Road corridor area, primarily to buffer larger single family development to the east from
the commercial development adjacent to Precinct Line Road. The projects should be located
near a major street intersection or on smaller parcels that make less dense development
economically difficult. The suggested maximum density of these transitional single family
developments is 3.5 dwelling units per acre; the proposed development has a density of 2.64
dwelling units per acre. The density of Emerald Park, located to the south of this proposed
development, is 3.5 dwelling units per acre.
Lot Sizes. The PUD-R standards allow for lots as small as 13,000 square feet, provided the
average lot size is 16,000 square feet. The minimum lot size in the proposed development is
11,175 square feet. The proposed lot sizes, widths and depths are not consistent with PUD-R
regulations. The developer is requesting that the lots be approved as shown on the zoning
exhibit.
Number of Subdivision Entrances. The Land Development Code requires that subdivisions
with more than 12 lots must be served by two subdivision entrances. Several design options
are provided in the Code. The proposed street entrances do not meet the requirement for two
separate entrances into the subdivision. The entrances are 60 feet apart; the Land
Development Code requires a minimum 100-foot separation to qualify as two separate
entrances. As shown, the Land Development Code will require that all houses within the
subdivision contain an automatic fire sprinkler system.
Sidewalks and Trails. Sidewalks are required to be constructed on each individual lot within
the development at the time houses are constructed on the lots. The applicant is required to
Agenda Briefing
Ordinance 0-05-1503
Page 3 of 4
construct a 5-foot wide sidewalk adjacent to Lavaca Trail at the time the public improvements
are constructed.
Impact Issues
1. Master Plan. The current Colleyville Master Plan (2004) designates the future use of this
area for residential land uses. This request is consistent with the overall goals and
objectives of the Master Plan.
2. Surrounding Properties. The surrounding properties are developed as single family
neighborhoods and residences on large acreage tracts. The property on Precinct Line
Road is zoned for commercial development.
3. Development Trends. Over the last several years, new single family subdivisions have
been constructed in this area: Clairemont, Rosewood Villas, Remington Park Phase IV, and
Emerald Park. Commercially-zoned properties are located on Precinct Line Road just west
of this site. The western part of Colleyville, especially in the Precinct Line Road corridor, is
experiencing a significant amount of development.
4. Infrastructure. Water and sanitary sewer service are available along adjacent rights-of-
way. The developer is responsible for the extension of water and sewer service lines to the
individual lots.
5. Property Taxes. According to information available from the Tarrant Appraisal District, the
parcel is valued at $511,577. The estimated City property tax revenue for the property is
$1,777 annually. The future property tax revenue would depend upon the value of each
individual lot and the value of the house built on the lot.
6. Sales Taxes. The project will not directly generate sales tax revenue. The addition of 27
new houses could indirectly have a positive impact on sales tax revenue due to new
residents shopping in Colleyville.
7. Traffic Generation. The Institute of Transportation Engineers publication Trip Generation
provides estimates of expected traffic generation based on land use. Data has been
collected in the United States and Canada since the 1960's, primarily in suburban
locations. Single-family residences are expected to generate 9.57 trips per day, on
average. Based on this average, the 27 proposed residences would add 258 vehicle trips
per day to the surrounding roadways.
8. Public Notification. Staff mailed notices to 17 adjacent property owners regarding this
request. Notice was published in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram as required by state law
and the Land Development Code. One letter in support of the request has been received
and one letter in opposition has been received regarding this request. Copies of these two
letters are attached.

Summary and Planninq and Zoninq Commission Recommendation
The Planning and Zoning Commission initially considered this rezoning request at the October
11, 2004 meeting. Due to the concerns of those citizens speaking at the public hearing, the
Commission tabled the rezoning request to allow the applicant an opportunity to meet with the
property owners surrounding the property in question to resolve their issues and address their
concerns. The applicant's original proposal for a 29 lot development was modified to a 27 lot
development proposal. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial of the
rezoning request by a unanimous vote at the November 22,2004 meeting.
The developer submitted a written request for the City Council to consider the rezoning
request. The Land Development Code requires a super-majority vote for the City Council to
approve a rezoning request that has received a recommendation for denial from the Planning
and Zoning Commission.
Recommendation
Denial due to technical non-compliance with the PUD requirements contained in the Colleyville
Land Development Code.

Re: Case Number Z-04-035 to be heard on October 11,2004 at 7:00pm
Dear Mr. Husband:
Our property is located immediately to the east of the property that is subject to the request of a
zoning change. Pursuant to our conversation the other day, we would like to provide several written
comments to the above matter as the proposed development will have a direct impact not only on
ourselves, but also to our neighbors.
Water Drainage Issue: We have appended a copy of a survey that was
completed as part of the purchase of our property in early 2001. The drawn arrows indicate the
flow of rainwater onto our property and off of it. Our property is a major collection point of
water drainage not only from the northeast (Remington area) but also from the east because the
property sits lower than the referenced area. The water fills our retention pond and spills over
and fills the creek bed in the property to the west the property (Le. Case Number Z-04-035 being
proposed for rezoning). Water that collects at our house and south of the house runs across the
property to the west. As a result after a major rainfall, we and our neighbors to the east do not
have any standing water on the properties except for our retention pond. I have seen, however,
that the property being proposed for rezoning has had standing water. In fact, part of the
driveway has been submerged. Therefore, any development needs to take this water issue into
account and ensure that the water flow is not interrupted.
Open Space Issue: Under City of Colleyville ordinances, new developments
require that 20% of the land be dedicated to "Open Space". This requirement, as we understand
it, does not include space dedicated to retention/detention ponds (see minutes of9/27/04 public
hearing on Case number Z-04-032). Since the center roadway divider to the proposed
development appears to be the only Open Space, the development does not address the ordinance
requirements.
Density: The density of the proposed development is substantially
similar to that proposed under Case Z-04-032 (see minutes of 9/27/04 public hearing). In that
case 33 properties were being proposed on 9.9 acres. In this case, 29 properties are being
proposed on 10.2 acres.
During the September 27 hearing, the Planning and Zoning Commission noted that under the
Master Plan, developments such as Emerald Park were intended to be transitional zones between
Re: Letter to Planning and Zoning Commission
dd. 10/6/04
the commercial area right off of Precinct Line. The Commissioners noted that areas to the east of
these transitional zones should embody the more traditional characters that Colleyville is known
for and that we, the citizens of Colleyville, bought into. While this development only borders
slightly more than two (2) Emerald Park properties, the balance borders the property that is the
subject of Case number Z-04-032.
There area total of 10 acres to the west of the proposed development which also are east of the
commercial area contemplated by the Master Plan. Therefore, the proposed development under
Case Number Z-04-035 cannot be considered a transitional zone. Furthermore, having 29 homes
on 10.2 acres sited between 5 acre lots is simply incongruous unless the developer is seeking to
force out the other residents of Lavaca Trail, all of whom had bought into the Colleyville quality
of living.
Barrier: As we and our neighbors to the east look west we see a
forest in the property being proposed for rezoning. While we cannot and will not stop progress so
that future citizens of Colleyville can benefit from our quality oflife, the boundary between our
property and the property proposed for rezoning should not result in a razed landscape. The
developer should be of the same mind especially since we and our neighbors have either horses or
cattle.
In fact, in our case, we are very involved in Lone Star Equine Rescue, the largest horse rescue
organization in the United States. We serve as a foster home for this organization. While under
Colleyville ordinances we are permitted to have up to 15 horses on our five- (5) plus acres, we
have never had that many. But our population will fluctuate anywhere from 5 to 10 horses.
These horses are free to roam our entire property and would, therefore, have some "impact" on all
the backyards that are proposed to border our property.
Regardless of the density of this proposed development, the developer also needs to take into
account the type of barrier used.. Wooden barriers used in Emerald Park may work in
transitional zone, but as discussed above, this development will not be in a transitional zone.
Moreover, from the developer's marketing perspective, the developer is likely to sell properties
more rapidly if there is an attractive fixed, mason barrier between our respective properties.
This letter is still not representing all the issues on Lavaca Trail that need to be discussed in light
of this proposal. For example, road condition (due to the Remington 4th Addition development), lack of
sewers, lack of storm drains, and lack of speed limit signs. As you can see, the list is quite lengthy. We,
as current residents, hope and assume that all of these issues will be addressed in a public venue before
any form of development is undertaken.
Sincerely,

Re: Case Number Z-04-035
Dear Ms Shelley:
Thank you for taking time to review case number Z-04-035 on Tues., January 4,
2005.
Unfortunately, we (Mr. and Mrs., Marty Stajduhar) will be out of town that day,
therefore, our feeling on this matter are contained in this letter.
As property owners that are adjacent to the 10.2 acres at 909-1009 Lavaca Trail,
we are against any zoning change that would affect the present AG and R40
status.
At the November 22, 2004 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting ,the Board
Members elegantly pointed out the violations and contradictions to the Master
Plan of Colleyville.
High density, 29 houses per 10 acres abutting 5 and 10 acres estate homes
would be analogous to putting a Wal-Mart next to the Colleyville City Hall,
completely out of character and place.
Bailey Draper was turned down when he attempted to put a higher than normal
density cull de sac on five acres of John Mc Cain Road approximately 3years
ago between multiple acre estates.
This entire development concept is a slap to the past and present planning and
zoning commission members and city council members. Their slam dunk
mentality to ram rod their ideas goes against past and current rules and vision of
our city.
Again, thank you for allowing us to voice our opinions and concerns.
Sincerely, ,

RE: Case nunber Z-04-035
Dear Ms Shelley:
Thank you for hearing our feedback about case number Z-04-035. We are
sending this letter because we will be out of town on January 4, 2005.
We are against the proposed change from AG and R40 to PUD-R on 10.2 acres
located at 909-1009 Lavaca Trail. We feel that the City Council has heard our
concerns about the open space issues and drainage issues at the previous
hearings. In addition, we feel that there is a density issue with the proposed
subdivision that is not commensurate with the other subdivisions in Colleyville.
We have repeatedly expressed this to the Colleyville Planning and Zoning
Committee.
We do not feel that the developers have attempted to meet the intent of the
Master Plan and have not negotiated with us, the citizens, in good faith. In
addition, there are significant issues that plague this area that have not been
addressed in any of the proposals. This area is not part of the transitional zone
and the developer's proposals do not fit in with the current "feel or intent" of the
area.
Everyone that lives in this area has 5 to 10 acre lots. We all have what we
consider to be estate lots with farm and ranch animals in abundance. The
Mittag's rescue Horses for Lone Star Rescue, the Gohr's have farm and ranch
animals and Mr. Zimmerman has cattle. In addition, Mr. and Mrs. Martin raise
competition Newfoundland dogs. (All of these people are our neighbors on
Lavaca Trail)
We raise coastal hay and horses, in addition to our therapeutic riding and
hippotherapy program that we have on our property for handicapped children and
adults. We have numerous horses, dogs, and cats, and feel that to superimpose
a high density subdivision in this environment would be setting everyone up to
fail. It would constitute a conflict of ideals for the subdivision buyers and the
current owners of the estate lots. The subdivision buyers would come with one
set of expectations and we would have bought with a completely different set of
expectations.
We ask you to deny this request for re-zoning. Please call us if you have any
questions about this issue. We are not completely opposed to the land being
developed, but we feel that the Colleyville Master Plan should be followed and
the developers should pay particular attention to the density issues and drainage
issues.

Re: Case Number Z-04-035 to be heard on January 4 at 7:30pm
Dear Mr. Mayor and City Council Members:
This case's history dates back to September ofthis year. Our property is located immediately to the
east of the one subject to the request to a zoning change. We have had several meetings with the Planning
and Zoning Commission (the "Commission") as well as with the developer, Royal Building Corp and Comis
Development Corp (the "Developer"). Appended is a detailed timeline in this matter.
The Commission's initial ruling was that the Developer needed to coordinate with the neighbors and
come up with a generally agreeable plan. From our perspective, the coordination pursued by the Developer
has been nothing more than a "check the box" effort as the fmal plan submitted is basically the same as the
one originally presented (see attached). We believe that the Commission recognized this and, consequently,
unanimously ruled against the zoning change.
That this matter is now coming in front of you simply mocks the Commission and the citizens who
have tried to work with the Developer. Outlined below are the key points in this case. We also have
appended a copy of the letter we submitted to the Commission on October 6,2004. We would be happy to
address these issues as well as any others that you may want to discuss.
Quality of Life: We, as most of our neighbors, want to maintain the rural quality of life in the area.
It was one of the main reasons we moved to this part of Colleyville. In our case it affords a quality
of life disappearing from the DFW Metroplex. It enables us to maintain horses, a symbol for the
City of Colleyville, and, we are also able to pursue our passion for horse rescue. This complements
our upper part ofLavaca Trail where we have two licensed therapeutic riding instructors as
neighbors.
Our selling neighbors and the neighbors to the west of them have argued that progress is inevitable
and that development will strengthen Colleyville's tax base. We are not in agreement concerning
the inevitability of this type of development. White Chapel serves as an example. We also disagree
about the outcome of this type of development on Colleyville' s tax base. While tax revenue will
increase, the type and quality of housing will determine whether the tax value will be maintained,
will decline or will increase over time.
Re: Letter to the Mayor and City Council of Colleyville
dd. 12/29/04
Colleyville is known for high-end housing on lots of 0.5 acres or more. This is a key draw to our
city. Over the long run, values tend to hold and appreciate more strongly in such areas as compared
to many other communities in the area. Will a Remington Park perform better for the City or will
Emerald Park? We believe that higher-end housing will protect Colleyville's tax base in the future.
There is strong potential for a higher-end development in the area being considered for rezoning.
There are existing ponds which could be attractively landscaped and continue to capture the
considerable drainage coming from the northeast, east, southeast and south. In addition, there are a
large number of attractive, sizeable, and mature trees. There are two ways to take advantage of these
positive topographical elements. Either the lot sizes are increased considerably or the amount of
common space or open space is increased considerably. Either one of these strategies would
contribute to a stronger valuation.
Transition Zones: There has been much discussion among the Commission, City Council and
citizenry with regard to Transition Zones. Everyone seems to favor them. At the October 19th City
Council meeting, the Master Plan was approved on the basis of having "mutually agreeable transition
areas". In addition, "transitional is to be a transition." (see Minutes to 10/19/04 City Council
Meeting).
The attached Proposed Use map was recommended in the Precinct Line Road Corridor Study
(Revised 2/6/04) and approved by the City Council as part of the Master Plan. Between LD Lockett
and Lavaca Trail, the single family transitional zone is bounded on the east by the straight line that
runs along Emerald Park, and on the west by the two-lane road (to be built) that joins McDonwell
and LD Lockett. The area to the west ofthe two-lane road is designated commercial. The area to
the east of the Emerald Park line is designated single family.
909 Lavaca, the eastern 5 acre property being considered for re-zoning, is not on the transitional
zone whereas 1009 Lavaca, the western 5 acre property being considered for re-zoning, is largely in
the transitional zone. It would look silly to have part of the development look transitional and the
other part not. Therefore, the entire development should be single family non-transitional.
Density and Open Space: Weare reluctantly in favor of a lower density development. An
R40 or R20 zoning would be consistent with the area. We have discussed above how our less dense
area is sought out and how this would be better for the community over the long run.
Indeed, the people ofColleyville continue to care about the area. The City and its citizenry remain
focused on larger lots. Case Z-04-039 concerned a property on John McCain which applied for re-
zoning from AG to R40.
Aside from the quality of life issues, the proposed development is inconsistent with the Master Plan
and PUD-R regulations. "The Master Plan (1998) suggests a maximum residential density of 1.8
dwelling units per acre in most situations. The Master Plan also suggests that higher-density projects
should be located near a major street intersection or on smaller parcels that make less dense
development economically difficult." (See Commission Agenda Briefing dd.l1/22/04) The
proposed development has a density of 2.64 units per acre.
PUD-R regulations require that 20% of the land area be dedicated as open space for leisure and
recreational use. The proposed development only has 13.5% of the area dedicated to open space.
This open space is limited to 5 medians in the street and a small park which would contain a storm
water detention area. The space is not only insufficient, but also not very leisure-friendly: Rarely
have we seen anyone enjoying a walk on street medians!

Re: Letter to the Mayor and City Council of Colleyville
dd. 12/29/04
Water Drainage: Our letter of 10/6/04 that we have appended describes in detail the extensive
water challenges that the Developer faces. While the Developer assured us that this could be dealt
with, it is unclear in our minds how this will be accomplished with only one retention pond
especially in light the substantial reduction in non-cement covered ground.
The Developer: In our meeting with the Developer, he explained that he has developed in
Watauga and Haltom City and is currently developing on Rutledge between Precinct Line and Davis.
The price point of his homes there start in the 200's. He is planning to develop the properties in
question with homes ranging from $400 to $650k - up to 5,000 square feet. We are not sure he has
the experience necessary to build homes in this price range.
The Developer is not from Colleyville and, to our understanding, has never developed in our area.
Based on our conversation, he does not have an understanding of our community, its traditions and
the Master Plan. What long-term vested interest does he have in our community? The answer to this
question is apparent as there was no material change to his plans, even though he met with us and a
large number of the neighbors who voiced concerns and issues.
Lastly, given all of the issues especially the water drainage challenge, we are surprised that the
Developer or his engineer did not once ask once to come to inspect our property and get a first hand
understanding.
Barrier: Our letter of 10/6/04 describes in detail our issues with a wooden barrier. In short,
wooden barriers used in Emerald Park may work in transitional zone, but as discussed above, this
development will not be in a transitional zone. Raman Chandler has a nicely masoned barrier
surrounding the Rosewood Villas development. Lastly, the Developer is likely to sell properties
more rapidly if there is an attractive fixed, mason barrier between our respective properties.
Process: The Commission has separately discussed how a zoning change can result in a very
different development once platting is commenced. While it is difficult to set platting in stone once
a zoning change is requested for a proposed development, the Developer should be required to go
through the same rigorous process as when the zoning change was first requested. Therefore, in this
case, the Developer should do more work on developing his plans before it is presented for approval.
This letter is still not representing all the issues on Lavaca Trail that need to be discussed in light of
this proposal. For example, degraded road conditions (due to the Remington 4th Addition development), lack
of storm drains, and lack of speed limit signs. The full list is quite lengthy. We, as current and future
residents, hope and assume that all of these issues will be addressed in a public venue before any form of
development is undertaken.

Re: Case Number Z-04-035 to be heard on October II. 2004 at 7:00pm
Dear Mr. Husband:
Our property is located immediately to the east of the property that is subject to the request ofa
zoning change. Pursuant to our conversation the other day. we would like to provide several written
comments to the above matter as the proposed development will have a direct impact not only on
ourselves. but also to our neighbors.
Water Drainage Issue: We have appended a copy ofa survey that was
completed as part of the purchase of our property in early 200 I. The drawn arrows indicate the
now of rainwater onto our property and off of it. Our property is a major collection point of
water drainage not only from the northeast (Remington area) but also from the east because the
property sits lower than the reterenced area. The water tills our retention pond and spills over
and fills the creek bed in the property to the west the property (i.e. Case Number Z-04-035 being
proposed for rezoning). Water that collects at our house and south of the house runs across the
property to the west. As a result after a major rainfall. we and our neighbors to the east do not
have any standing water on the properties except for our retention pond. I have seen. however.
that the property being proposed for rezoning has had standing water. In fact, part of the
driveway has been submerged. Therefore, any development needs to take this water issue into
account and ensure that the water flow is not interrupted.
Open Space Issue: Under City of Colley vi lie ordinances, new developments
require that 20% of the land be dedicated to "Open Space". This requirement, as we understand
it, does not include space dedicated to retention/detention ponds (see minutes of 9/27/04 public
hearing on Case number Z-04-032). Since the center roadway divider to the proposed
development appears to be the only Open Space, the development does not address the ordinance
requirements.
Density: The density of the proposed development is substantially
similar to that proposed under Case Z-04-032 (see minutes of 9/27/04 public hearing). In that
case 33 properties were being proposed on 9.9 acres. In this case. 29 properties are being
proposed on 10.2 acres.
During the September 27 hearing, the Planning and Zoning Commission noted that under the
Master Plan, developments such as Emerald Park were intended to be transitional zones between
Re: Letter to Planning and Zoning Commission
dd. 10/6/04
the commercial area right off of Precinct Line. The Commissioners noted that areas to the east of
these transitional zones should embody the more traditional characters that Colleyville is known
for and that we, the citizens of Colley vi lie, bought into. While this development only borders
slightly more than two (2) Emerald Park properties, the balance borders the property that is the
subject of Case number Z-04-032.
There area total of \ 0 acres to the west of the proposed development which also are east of the
commercial area contemplated by the Master Plan. Therefore, the proposed development under
Case Number Z-04-035 cannot be considered a transitional zone. Furthermore, having 29 homes
on '0.2 acres sited between 5 acre lots is simply incongruous unless the developer is seeking to
force out the other residents of Lavaca Trail, all of whom had bought into the Colleyville quality
of living.
Barrier: As we and our neighbors to the east look west we see a
forest in the property being proposed for rezoning. While we cannot and will not stop progress so
that future citizens of Colleyville can benefit from our quality of life, the boundary between our
property and the property proposed for rezoning should not result in a razed landscape. The
developer should be of the same mind especially since we and our neighbors have either horses or
cattle.
In fact, in our case, we are very involved in Lone Star Equine Rescue, the largest horse rescue
organization in the United States. We serve as a foster home for this organization. While under
Colleyville ordinances we are permitted to have up to 15 horses on our five- (5) plus acres, we
have never had that many. But our population wi II fluctuate anywhere from 5 to 10 horses.
These horses are free to roam our entire property and would, therefore, have some "impact" on all
the backyards that are proposed to border our property.
Regardless of the density of this proposed development, the developer also needs to take into
account the type of barrier used.. Wooden barriers used in Emerald Park may work in
transitional zone, but as discussed above, this development will not be in a transitional zone.
Moreover, from the developer's marketing perspective, the developer is likely to sell properties
more rapidly if there is an attractive fixed, mason barrier between our respective properties.
This letter is still not representing all the issues on Lavaca Trail that need to be discussed in light
of this proposal. For example, road condition (due to the Remington 4th Addition development), lack of
sewers, lack of storm drains, and lack of speed limit signs. As you can see. the list is quite lengthy. We,
as current residents, hope and assume that all of these issues wi II be addressed in a public venue before
any form of development is undertaken.
Sincerely,
encl

Re; proposed development of property at 909/1009 Lavaca Trail
To Whom It May Concern:
We own the 10 acres immediately to the west of the subject property. Our physical address is 1013 W.
Lavaca Trail and 1101 W. Lavaca Trl. Colleyville, TX 76034
We have viewed the developers preliminary plans and are for the development of this property for single
family homes. It is nice to see a developer come in with plans to develop larger lots instead of the smaller
postage stamp variety.

SUBJECT : Approval of a Waiver of perimeter street
improvement requirements on Lot 1, Block 1,
Luxmont Estates, located at 6304 L. D. Lockett
Road, Case P-05-002
Reading and Public Hearing
Gary Friedman is the owner of a 1.9 acre parcel of land located on the north side of L. D.
Lockett Road, just west of Pleasant Run Road. The owner has submitted a Minor Plat of the
property to create a single lot for the construction of his new single family residence. The plat
will be considered at the January 10, 2005 Planning and Zoning Commission and being a one-
lot plat, does not require the additional approval of the City Council.
However, the property is currently a vacant tract and subject to the perimeter street
improvement requirements. The Land Development Code requires the developer of an
undeveloped parcel of land situated adjacent to an unimproved street to construct one-half of
the adjacent unimproved pavement section, or escrow an equivalent amount of money with the
City for the future construction of the street. The amount due for this property, based on the
street frontage, is $41,287.05.
A letter from the owner is attached requesting a waiver of the perimeter street and sidewalk
construction requirements for this property on the basis that the property previously contained
a residential dwelling and would have qualified for an automatic exemption. The figures
included in the owner's letter do not include any reduction for the amount of frontage
exceeding 100 feet, as provided for in the Land Development Code. The applicant was
subsequently advised of the actual cost. The initial estimate of the escrow amount provided to
the owner did not include the reduction for the lot width, but the amount shown above of
$41,287.05 does. Mr. Friedman does not own any contiguous property.
The property owner obtained a demolition permit from the Building Permit Office on September
14, 2004 and demolished the house and pole barns in anticipation of constructing his new
home, not knowing at the time that his vacant lot would later be subject to the perimeter street
improvement requirement at time of platting.
The property is zoned AG-Agricultural and has 495.10 feet of frontage on L. D. Lockett Road,
which is classified as a Minor Collector street on the Master Thoroughfare Plan, requiring an
ultimate right-of-way width of 75 feet. The property owner, upon plat approval by the Planning
and Zoning Commission, is dedicating sufficient right-of-way equal to one-half (37.5') of the
Agenda Briefing
Resolution R-05-2491

ultimate build-out of the roadway. The following table shows the pertinent data relative to this
req uest.
STREET
Perimeter Street Improvement Cost Estimate
FRONTAGE TOTAL ESTIMATE ACTUAL COST PER
LINEAR FOOT
$138.78 (1)
L. D. Lockett Road 495.10 feet $ 41,287.05
Credit for impact fees ($ 1,589.00)
Total Due 495.10 feet $ 39,698.05 $ 80.18
(1) The fee schedule provides for a reduction in the linear foot cost for lots exceeding 100 feet of
frontage.
The cost estimate listed in the table is based on the City's costs to construct similar types of
roadways. The estimate includes both construction costs, such as street paving and
sidewalks, and engineering design costs. The total estimate also includes a credit of $1,589
for the impact fees that will be collected on this property. For roadways on the Master
Thoroughfare Plan, the City cannot collect both perimeter street escrow and impact fees. This
credit applies to L. D. Lockett Road.
In December 2001, the City Council adopted new regulations for perimeter street improvement
requirements for one and two lot subdivisions. The new regulations established a fee of
$138.78 per linear foot of street frontage as an escrow amount for one and two lot
subdivisions. For property that has over 100 feet of street frontage, the total cost is based on a
formula that slightly reduces the actual per foot cost. The City Council adopted these new
regulations due to concern that waiving the perimeter street improvement requirements for one
and two lot residential subdivisions would have a long-term financial impact on the community.
The regulations contain an exemption provision where a lot contains an existing single-family
dwelling. The following is a copy of the exemption provision taken from the Land Development
Code.
Exemption: A lot platted under this Section that contains an existing single-family
dwelling and is situated within a zoning district that allows single-family residential uses
shall have an automatic exemption from the perimeter street charge, provided that
existing perimeter street facilities are sufficient to assure the safe, effective and orderly
movement of traffic in and about the subdivision and utility services are adequate to
serve the development. The following notation shall be placed on the plat: "Any future
divisions of these lots will require full compliance with the unimproved street
requirements applicable at the time of any subsequent replatting. "
The City Council considered a similar request at the October 5, 2004 City Council meeting for
a single lot on Shelton Drive that previously had a single-family residence that had been
demolished prior to the time of platting. The City Council approved Resolution R-04-2452,
which reduced the perimeter street requirement from $40,766.96 to $1,000.
Agenda Briefing
Resolution R-05-2491
Page 3 of 3
The City Council's options in this case are the following:
1. Approve the waiver as requested - This action would waive the perimeter street
improvement requirement for this property in the amount of $41 ,287.05. Approval of the
waiver would include a waiver of the requirement to construct sidewalks.
2. Approve the waiver in part - The Council may waive a portion or percentage of the
escrow amount.
3. Denv the waiver - The property owner must escrow $41,287.05 with the City before
building permits could be issued on the property.

Denial, due to technical non-compliance with the Land Development Code

Re:
Request for Waiver of Perimeter Street Improvement Requirements
Until last week, my wife and I were ready to start building a new home here in
Colleyville. Now we are not sure we can due to the assessment of over $73,000 of fees.
These fees would never have been assessed had we applied for a plat on our property just
prior to removing the existing home, a period of less than 90 days.
In March of 2004, my wife and I purchased 2 acres of land on LD Lockett with the intent
of building a new home. The property had a small home located on it (see attached
survey dated March 15, 2004). We spent several months designing our new home. As
we neared the end of the design stage, we decided to demolish the existing home to make
room for our new home. On September 8, 2004, we applied to the city for a permit to
demolish the existing home. The city granted us a permit and we removed the existing
home.
We then finalized our design plans and secured the necessary financing with our bank. It
was now time to apply to the city for a building permit. Everything seemed to being
going great. It was at this time, for the first time, that we became aware that the property
had never been platted. This seemed like a minor inconvenience at the time, but this
quickly developed into a financial burden that may prevent us from building our new
home.
On December 21, 2004, the Colleyville Development Review Committee notified us that
before the property could not be platted until a few issues are resolved. All but two of
these issues seemed reasonable. Two issues, however, would require us to pay in excess
of $73,000 in fees due to the fact that the property is now vacant. The Development
Review Committee's letter indicated that the following fees would be assessed:
1). Perimeter Street Improvements are required since LD Lockett is considered and
unimproved street and the 10t contains a vacant residential lot. A base assessment of
$71,815.57 is required to be escrowed, with the actual escrow amount being percentage
of the total cost based upon the actual street frontage; and
2). Roadway Impact Fees of $1,589 (applicable to vacant lots created by this plat).
Had we applied for the platting of this property prior to this prior to demolishing the
existing home, these fees would not have been assessed. I understand that an automatic
waiver is granted when the property owner can prove that there was an existing home on
the property. The attached survey proves the existence of small home on the property. In
addition, the city issued us a permit on September 8, 2004 to demolish the existing home.
And finally, the home that was demolished had city water and sewer service prior to us
purchasing the property. Therefore, we respectfully request that the city grant us a
waiver of the Perimeter Street Improvement assessment and the Roadway Impact Fee
assessment.
In addition, we would like to request a waiver to the sidewalk requirement on our
property. The area that we are building our home consists almost exclusively of estate
10ts. None of these homes have sidewalks not do sidewalks fit the estate 10t feature. In
addition, the city has constructed a hike and bike trail for the general public's use along
this section of LD Lockett. Therefore, we respectfully request that the sidewalk
requirement also be waived.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration of these requests.

DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
SUBJECT : Approval to authorize intervention before the
Railroad Commission of Texas in Gas Utilities
Docket (GUD) No. 9530; authorize participation with
other cities served by Atmos Energy Corporation in
administrative and court proceedings involving a gas
cost prudence review; designate a representative of
the City to serve on a Steering Committee; require
reimbursement of reasonable legal and consultant
expenses
Reading and Public Hearing
As part of the Final Order in Gas Utilities Docket ("GUD") No. 8664 (TXU's city gate gas rate
case decided in 1997) the Railroad Commission of Texas ("RRC") required TXU Gas
Company (now known as Atmos Energy Corporation) to make a series of triennial filings to
allow for a periodic review of the prudence of Atmos' gas purchases. On September 24, 2004,
Atmos' Gas Cost Review documentation for the period of November 1, 2000 to October 31,
2003, was filed with the RRC and assigned GUD No. 9530. Atmos was required to provide
notices of the filing to all cities served by the former TXU Gas Company, including the City of
Colleyville, by November 9,2004.
Attorneys for the Allied Coalition of Cities, of which Colleyville is a member, noted that a
preliminary review of the documentation filed by Atmos indicates that the Company's total cost
of gas purchases was twice the cost of purchases included in the previous three-year filing
period. This is despite the fact that one of the representations made by Atmos to settle the last
prudence review was that it had renegotiated a gas purchase contract for an expected benefit
to ratepayers of over $20 million. Testimony included in the filing also indicates that Atmos
only sought to lock in prices for 35-40% of the gas needed to meet its anticipated winter
demand during the review period, with over half of all the Company's gas purchases being
made on the spot market. If the RRC finds Atmos' purchases to be imprudent, the Company
will be ordered to pay refunds to all of its customers. The Coalition's attorneys indicated that
attempts to settle GUD No. 9530 and other outstanding regulatory issues were rejected by
Atmos.
Based on this information, the Coalition requested that cities intervene in GUD No. 9530.
Intervening in the docket would allow the Coalition an opportunity to evaluate the possibility of
refunds attributable to excessive gas cost purchases. The attached resolution authorizes the
Agenda Briefing
Resolution R-05-2493
Page 2 of 2
City to intervene in GUD No. 9530, participate with other cities served by Atmos in
administrative and court proceedings, designate Financial Analyst Kacey Bess to serve on a
Steering Committee and require reimbursement of reasonable legal and consultant expenses.
Kacey Bess currently serves as the City's representative to other utility organizations, including
the TXU Electric Standing Steering Committee and Cities Aggregation Power Project, Inc.
It should be noted that the City has begun receiving complaints from citizens regarding
significant increases on their gas bills for the TXU Gas Cost Recovery charge. Per Atmos, this
charge is related to the cost of purchasing gas and will continue to increase as the cost of gas
increases. Through participation in GUD No. 9530, the City can ensure that Atmos is being
prudent in its gas purchases and managing costs as much as possible.
Financial Impact
The City will not need to allocate any funds for rate case expenses. The Steering Committee
will absorb the costs of the rate case and these costs are subject to reimbursement by Atmos
at the end of the case, pursuant to the Texas Gas Utilities Regulatory Act. Any reimbursed
rate case expenses would be passed on to Atmos customers in the form of a surcharge. This
surcharge is generally less than if the Company imposed the full amount of its rate request.
For residential customers, the surcharge is typically less than one dollar per month.
It should be noted the surcharge would apply to customers in the City of Colleyville even if the
City decides not to get involved in this rate case. The Railroad Commission has determined
that because rate cases benefit all customers, any rate case expenses that the gas company
must reimburse should, likewise, be surcharged to all customers.

SUBJECT: Approval to suspend the proposal by Atmos Energy
Corporation to implement interim Gas Reliability
Infrastructure Program (GRIP) rate adjustments;
authorize participation with other cities served by
Atmos Energy Corporation, Mid-Tex Division, in a
review and inquiry into the proposed rate
adjustments; authorize intervention in administrative

Reading and Public Hearing
In December 2004, AtmosfTXU Gas ("Atmos") made a Distribution Gas Reliability
Infrastructure Program ("GRIP") filing at the City of Colleyville and other cities served by
Atmos. The filing set out Atmos' intent to increase distribution rates to all customers effective
February 15, 2005, pursuant to Texas Utilities Code Section 104.301, because of investments
it allegedly made in calendar year 2003. In addition, on or about December 17, 2004, Atmos
made a Pipeline GRIP filing at the Railroad Commission of Texas ("RRC"), now docketed as
GUD No. 9560. This filing notified the RRC of Atmos' intent to increase city gate and
transportation rates to all customers, also effective February 15, 2005, pursuant to Texas
Utilities Code Section 104.301, because of investments allegedly made in calendar year 2003.
In its filings, Atmos claims that net investment in infrastructure throughout the former TXU
service areas increased in 2003 by a total of $43.5 million. If calculated in compliance with the
GRIP statute, this claimed increase would be in addition to the $70 million in annual plant
investment included in the GUD No. 9400 rates. The proposed GRIP rate increases would
increase Atmos' annual revenues by $8.5 million, which would be above and beyond the $11.5
million annual increase approved by the RRC in GUD No. 9400 and the $10.1 million sought
by Atmos for rate case expenses related to GUD No. 9400.
Atmos has publicly stated that it expects to experience annual cost savings of at least $40
million over the costs included in rates approved in GUD No. 9400. These savings are likely to
far exceed the annual revenue requirement associated with any reasonable increases in
invested capital that form the basis of the requested GRIP rate increases. Furthermore, Atmos
Agenda Briefing
Resolution R-05-2494
Page 2 of 2
announced a twenty percent increase in profits for its fiscal year ended September 30, 2004,
and projects further increases in profits in 2005. Based on this information, implementation of
the proposed GRIP rate increases may allow substantial overearnings by Atmos.
Atmos has requested that all cities either allow the proposed GRIP rate increases to take effect
as proposed or to deny the request as soon as possible. However, cities also have the option
to suspend the proposed rate increases to allow adequate time to review the proposed rate
increases, analyze necessary information and take appropriate action. The attached
resolution will suspend the requested GRIP rate increases, as well as appoint Financial
Analyst Kacey Bess as the City's representative on a Steering Committee, authorize
intervention in any RRC or court proceedings related to the proposed GRIP rate increases and
require Atmos to reimburse the City reasonable costs associated with the review of the GRIP
rate increase filings or participation in any subsequent proceeding. Kacey Bess currently
serves as the City's representative to other utility organizations, including the TXU Electric
Standing Steering Committee and Cities Aggregation Power Project, Inc.
Financial Impact
The City will not need to allocate any funds for rate case expenses. The Steering Committee
will absorb the costs of the rate case and these costs are subject to reimbursement by Atmos
at the end of the case, pursuant to the Texas Gas Utilities Regulatory Act. Any reimbursed
rate case expenses would be passed on to Atmos customers in the form of a surcharge. This
surcharge is generally less than if the Company imposed the full amount of its rate request.
For residential customers, the surcharge is typically less than one dollar per month.
It should be noted the surcharge would apply to customers in the City of Colleyville even if the
City decides not to get involved in this rate case. The Railroad Commission has determined
that because rate cases benefit all customers, any rate case expenses that the gas company
must reimburse should, likewise, be surcharged to all customers.

TO THE GOVERNING BODY OF COLLEYVILLE
Filed herewith is an original of Atmos Energy Corp., Mid-Tex Division's (formerly known as TXU Gas
Distribution, a division ofTXU Gas Company) (the "Company") Annual Gas Reliability Infrastructure
Program Rate Adjustment for the Company's Distribution System. The Company makes this filing in
accordance with the provisions of Section 104.301 of the Texas Utilities Code, which allows a gas utility
to adjust its rates annually on an interim basis to account for incremental investment in the gas utility's
system. The incremental investment included herein is for the calendar year 2003. While information
herewith includes the Company's investments in its entire Distribution System, your municipality only
has original jurisdiction over the Company's Distribution System rates within the city limits of your
municipality .
Should your municipality conclude that the interim rate adjustment tariff as proposed by the Company is
appropriate under Section 104.301 of the Texas Utilities Code, no action is necessary on the part of your
municipality, because the tariff is self-implementing. However, should your municipality conclude that
the rate adjustment tariff as proposed by the Company is not appropriate, the Company requests that you
deny the Company's request on or before February 15, 2005 so that the Company can appeal the
decision to the Railroad Commission of Texas (the "Commission").
Regardless of the decision made by your municipality, the Company will not implement the interim rate
adjustment tariff until after the Commission has taken final action on the interim rate adjustment filing
made with the Commission for service in the Company's environs service areas and on all appeals of
municipal actions taken with regard to the Company's comparable filings with all other municipalities.
In addition, if the Commission approves an interim rate adjustment tariff that contains lower interim rate
adjustments than contained in the attached filing, then the Company will implement the Commission-
approved tariff with the lower interim rate adjustments in your municipality. This will assure that the
same interim rate adjustment is made for each customer within a particular customer class across the
Company's entire Distribution System.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

recall election at Haltom City. Brad Rice also requested more information on what
City Attorney Ross Foster meant by "substantial question of validity."

that may not be clear to laymen.
