RESOLUTION R-93-914
A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING CITY POLICY FOR THE DESIGN,
LOCATION AND FUNDING OF DRAINAGE AND UTILITY
IMPROVEMENTS ALONG COLLEYVILLE BLVD., S.H. 121 AND
I PRECINCT LINE ROAD
IWHEREAS, the engineering
and design of utility and drainage
improvements involving numerous properties along
Colleyville Blvd., S.H. 121 and Precinct Line Road must
be coordinated in order to implement the City's master
plans for drainage, sewer and water systems and to
ensure efficient, orderly development within the
community; and
HEREAS, public utility and drainage improvements along
Colleyville Blvd. (State Highway 26), State Highway 121
and Precinct Line Road must be coordinated with plans
for future improvements to the roadway surface and
related stormwater drainage in public right-of-way, but
the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) can not
presently provide sufficient roadway and drainage design
information to allow the City or land owners to design
utility and drainage improvements to ensure
compatibility with future TXDOT project design; and
HEREAS, drainage and water and sewer system improvements are
most efficiently designed and constructed in project
segments which commonly extend along the thoroughfare
beyond the frontage of a single land owner, and it is
often in the best interest of the City to defer the
construction or upgrade of drainage, water and sewer
systems beyond the time of development of a particular
site; and
HEREAS, the City Council desires to establish by this resolution
a policy regarding drainage and utility easements,
drainage system design, and equitable requirements for
developer participation in the funding of deferred
water, sewer and drainage system improvements,
consistent with the Colleyville Code, Chapter 9, Section
6.1 (Improvements to Perimeter Streets and utilities),
in the interim period prior to TXDOT's design of
Colleyville Blvd., S.H. 121 and Precinct Line Road
drainage and roadway projects;
,NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the policy of the City of
Colleyville for Colleyville Blvd., S.H. 121 and Precinct Line Road
shall be that:

1. Parallel public stormwater drainage systems along the
thoroughfare frontage shall be enclosed underground systems.
Open drainage channels parallel to the roadway are not
acceptable.
2. A twenty-foot-wide drainage and utility easement shall be
created adjacent to the thoroughfare right-of-way. The right-
of-way boundary shall be established by the dedication, where
necessary, of additional right-of-way along Colleyville Blvd.
and Precinct Line Road to provide a minimum right of way width
of 120 feet, centered on the existing roadway centerline.
3. As the basis for establishing the amount of the developer's
funding of improvements to the parallel drainage system, the
water system and the wastewater system, the developer shall
provide engineered design plans and cost estimates for water
and sewer lines sized in accordance with the system master
plans, and for a concrete-lined drainage channel capable of
handling the design storm. Where consistent with the system
master plans, public water and sewer lines along the
thoroughfare frontage shall be located within the 20-foot
drainage and utility easement.
4. The developer shall deposit funds in escrow or enter a written
agreement to pay on the demand of the City a future assessment
for the cost of the concrete-lined drainage channel
improvements described in Part 3 above. Construction of water
and sewer system improvements, or deposit of funds in escrow
for such improvements, shall be performed by the developer in
accordance with the Colleyville Code, Chapter 9, section 6.1.
5. The City or TXDOT, at the sole discretion of either entity,
may design and construct drainage system improvements within
the thoroughfare right-of-way or the 20-foot utility easement,
or both.
6. The City and franchised utility providers and their
contractors will restore to the best of their abilities the
surface of easements where drainage system and utility line
construction and repairs are required.
IT IS SO RESOLVED.
