those movements.
PC-1 Discussion and update on the Glade Road Project
Public Works Director Jeremy Hutt presented this item and briefed the City
Council. Chad Gartner, TranSystems was also present to answer City Council
questions.
Councilmember Mogged asked staff about the shape of the roundabout at
Bransford/Glade Road. Director Hutt replied the shape of the roundabout is being
dictated by the roadway layout, and the preservation of trees located in this area.
Councilmember Mogged asked staff if those trees are considered heritage trees.
Director Hutt replied yes.
Councilmember Mogged asked if there will be a calming effect in the roundabout,
for safety and mobility, as seen in other roundabouts in the City. Director Hutt
City Council Minutes October 20, 2015
City of Colleyville Page 2
replied you will be able to traverse faster through this roundabout than some
others in the City because of the elongated shape. He stated if the trees were not
an issue, the design for this roundabout would be more circular.
Mayor Kelly asked staff if there could be some rumble strips placed, or something
else to calm the traffic. Mr. Gartner replied not knowing, he would have to
research that option.
Mayor Kelly asked Mr. Gartner if a lane width reduction would help. Mr. Gartner
replied the larger vehicles, such as school buses and emergency vehicles, would
have difficulty with a smaller lane width.
Councilmember Coplen asked staff if the trees on the northwest corner are scrub
trees. Director Hutt replied there are quite a bit in this area. Councilmember
Coplen stated she would get the list from staff.
Mayor Kelly asked staff about the queuing from Bransford Road into the
elementary school. Mr. Gartner replied the turn has actually been extended into
the school, 160 foot in the southbound left turn lane.
Mayor Kelly asked Mr. Gartner about how many cars can stack in this queuing
area. Mr. Gartner replied about six or eight cars.
Mayor Kelly asked Mr. Gartner what happens to the extra lane. Mr. Gartner replied
the extra lane is tapered down before the school driveway with striping. Director
Hutt stated staff is looking to maximize the turn lane.
Councilmember Mogged asked staff about the section east of the roundabout from
the current four lanes to two lanes. Director Hutt replied there are no pavement
changes, just changes in lane striping, within the existing pavement.
Councilmember Mogged stated this roundabout will not have a dedicated right turn
lane. Director Hutt concurred.
Councilmember Short asked staff why this plan is a change from the more
traditional roundabout with a dedicated right turn lane. Director Hutt replied the
characteristics and public feedback helped to dictate the design. He stated staff did
not want to impact the trees along the corner which, in turn, led to this proposed
unique roundabout.
Councilmember Short asked staff if the constraint of the trees was the driving
design factor, is the vehicle passage considered. Director Hutt replied a large
factor was the trees, and truck aprons have been designed to accommodate the
larger trucks.
City Council Minutes October 20, 2015
City of Colleyville Page 3
Councilmember Short asked Mr. Gartner if we want to accommodate the largest
vehicle on the road, or do we need to take a step back. Mr. Gartner replied no;
however, we do want to be able to get them through this intersection if they come
through. He stated the truck aprons are made of materials such as crushed
granite, to not ruin any landscaping. Mayor Kelly stated emergency vehicles should
be able to maneuver around the roundabout.
Councilmember Short stated a completely mountable center would allow for large
vehicles, and it will create a smaller roundabout, which will not impact the trees.
Mr. Gartner replied such as a mini-roundabout.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked staff about the width of the roundabout at Glade/Pool
Road; and John McCain/Pleasant Run Road. Director Hutt replied the outside
diameter for Glade/Pool Road is 103 feet at Glade/Pool Road; and 105 feet at John
McCain/Pleasant Run Road; Glade/Bransford Road is 108 feet, and 240 feet at the
wider section.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked staff about the specific reason the shape is oval and
not round. Mayor Kelly answered to save the trees. Director Hutt added the
roadway sections of Bransford Road do not line up either, which creates this issue
as well.
Councilmember Mogged asked staff if the trees are close to the end of their
lifetime. Councilmember Coplen answered those trees could live 100 years.
Councilmember Short asked staff if there is a risk of damaging the trees, given the
proximity of construction. Director Hutt replied there is a possibility of having an
impact on those trees.
Mayor Kelly asked Mr. Gartner if other cars/trucks could drive through the
mountable portion of the roundabout. Mr. Gartner replied yes.
Councilmember Mogged applauded the efforts to save the trees.
Councilmember Short asked staff how much is being pushed into the northeast
corner. Director Hutt replied it will affect the parking area.
Councilmember Short asked staff if the design is trying to minimize this impact as
well. Director Hutt replied yes.
Councilmember Short suggested looking at pushing into that property to expand.
Director Hutt replied staff can look at those impacts further.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked Mr. Gartner if the roundabout could be moved more
northwest into the open area. Mr. Gartner stated pushing to the northwest, there
City Council Minutes October 20, 2015
City of Colleyville Page 4
is a pinch-point with getting between the roadways, given that Bransford Road
does not exactly line up.
Councilmember Short asked staff if there are trails proposed for both the north
and south sides of Glade Road from Bransford Road to SH26. Director Hutt replied
yes.
Councilmember Short stated the trail on the north side could be minimized, or
narrower, than the south side, to minimize the right-of-way impacts.
Councilmembers agreed on the design of the roundabout at Glade/Bransford Road,
but asked staff to look at traffic calming features.
Councilmember Mogged asked staff if an eight foot trail on the north side will
make a difference. Director Hutt replied yes, and it has not been determined in the
refinement of the plan where the trail reductions can be made. Councilmember
Coplen suggested narrowing the sidewalk when available.
Mayor Kelly stated not seeing this north section of the trail being a major factor for
the children coming from the east side of SH26, as they are not currently crossing
over. Councilmember Coplen stated the south side is more of an impact. Mayor
Kelly stated it is more for planning for the future.
Councilmember Short asked staff if there are sidewalks outside of easements.
Director Hutt replied yes, some missed the property lines slightly. Mayor Kelly
stated he would like a viable sidewalk width.
Councilmembers agreed to maximize the sidewalk width from SH26 to Bransford,
but to minimize the sidewalk width to six feet where beneficial.
Councilmember Mogged asked staff when another update will be scheduled.
Director Hutt replied a formal presentation will be made in February.
Mayor Kelly asked if the trees along the roadway at the Bidault house are
hackberry trees. Parks Manager James Hubbard replied some are hackberry trees.
Councilmember Coplen asked staff if the property owners have been approached
about the driveway entrance at the southwest corner. Director Hutt replied letters
have been sent to the property owners about the proposed driveway.
Councilmember Short asked staff if the property owners at the corner of Glade
Road and Stafford have been approached regarding their driveway. Director Hutt
replied yes, they were contacted originally; however, he stated they have not been
contacted since the design plans have been made.

City of Colleyville Page 5
Councilmember Mogged asked Mr. Gartner if the centerline has been shifted to
accommodate the property line for the property at the corner of Glade Road and
Stafford. Mr. Gartner replied it has been shifted to the north, and also has right-of-
way been dedicated from the south.
Mayor Kelly stated if right-of-way becomes an issue, the sidewalk can be placed
against the curb.
Councilmember Mogged asked Mr. Gartner if issues can be avoided if we stay with
two lanes versus two with a turn lane. Mr. Gartner replied the direction was given
for a three lane section from Bluebonnet Drive to SH26, through the commercial
area. He added the left turn lane at Stafford introduces the third lane.
Councilmember Short stated he did not believe there to be a need for the turn
lane, but maybe a median.
Mayor Kelly stated we need to prepare for future development with a viable width,
whether or not it is striped at this time or not.
Councilmember Short asked staff if they had identified the need for the turn lane
at Stafford. Mayor Kelly stated the width is there now to accommodate it.
Councilmember Coplen stated she noticed no left turn lane onto Manning. Mr.
Gartner replied the thought was to have one either at Stafford or at Manning, but
not both.
Councilmember Mogged asked staff about the setbacks at Rose Street and Glade
Road. Director Hutt replied those are tied to the property line, and based on
preliminary design, it may be a six foot trail at the back of curb. Councilmember
Coplen suggested going smaller. Councilmembers concurred.
Mayor Kelly asked staff if state law requires a three foot minimum width for
sidewalks. Director Hutt replied a minimum clearance of 36 inches is required, with
a passing lane at every 200 feet. He added the Colleyville standard for an arterial
or collector roadway is a five foot minimum, and that is what is being proposed.
Mayor Kelly asked staff if the minimum is constructed, and someone wants to
plant a tree or a mailbox, would they then be in violation of the impact of not
having enough clearance. Director Hutt replied yes. Mayor Kelly stated the five
foot minimum standard takes away any threat of being in the clearance
requirements.
Councilmember Coplen asked staff why the low level pedestrian lighting is
necessary. Mayor Kelly stated it is an added amenity for people walking at night.
Councilmember Coplen stated not being excited about that because of the impact
City Council Minutes October 20, 2015
City of Colleyville Page 6
to the residents. Director Hutt replied it can be removed if there is a consensus of
the City Council.
Councilmember Short asked Councilmember Coplen if she is good with the lighting
at the intersections. Councilmember Coplen replied yes; she stated the low level
pedestrian lighting takes away from the country feel.
Mayor Kelly stated it is complete darkness between some stretches of
intersections. Councilmember Coplen stated it is her opinion that it is not needed.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated the trees block the street lights. He stated it is
needed along certain areas, but not along the entire corridor.
Councilmember Mogged asked staff if there are examples of pedestrian lighting.
Mayor Kelly answered yes.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked staff about in-line crosswalks. Director Hutt replied
the crosswalks will be signed appropriately and striped. He stated the proposed
locations for Glade Road are at the roundabouts at Riverwalk Drive, Bransford
Road and SH26.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked staff if there will be embedded lights that will flash
when crossing. Director Hutt replied that is not currently in the scope.
Mayor Kelly stated the embedded lights are not as effective as the pole lights.
Mayor Kelly suggested staff should look at the longer stretches between
crosswalks, and see where some may be appropriate. Mr. Gartner suggested
intermittent crossings. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor suggested the Cranbrook and
Montclair area as well. He stated there are a lot of trees in this area. Mayor Kelly
stated once the roadway is in place, the crosswalks may become more evident.
Mayor Kelly asked staff if the raised curb medians are not landscaped, just
elevated. Director Hutt replied correct.
Councilmember Short stated being concerned about the right-turn lane at the
Roberts Road intersection. He suggested staff look at the cost and benefit of that
element. Director Hutt concurred.
Mayor Kelly reconvened the Pre Council meeting at 8:31 p.m.
PC-2 Discussion of the intersection of Glade Road and Prestwick Drive/Roberts
Road
Public Works Director Jeremy Hutt presented this item and briefed the City
Council.
City Council Minutes October 20, 2015
City of Colleyville Page 7
Councilmember Mogged asked staff about the visibility. Director Hutt replied it is
estimated at 285 feet.
Councilmember Mogged asked staff if half of that visibility is currently available.
Director Hutt replied yes, depending on the vehicle. Councilmember Mogged stated
that is a great improvement.
Councilmember Short asked staff if there would be any positive off-sets down the
road by completing these improvements now. Director Hutt replied it is unknown
at this point.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked about the traffic accident or count that warranted this
intersection improvement. Director Hutt replied he did not know the exact
numbers or there being a triggering mechanism.
Councilmember Coplen stated if trying to turn left into Prestwick Park, any vehicle
in that lane, blocks visibility. Mayor Kelly asked if you can wait a few minutes to
have an open view. Councilmember Coplen replied yes.
Mayor Kelly stated there have not been any accidents at this intersection.
Councilmember Coplen stated this is the only four way intersection where there is
nothing at it. Mayor Kelly stated these improvements are being considered with
Phase 3.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated he has had one complaint, but generally there has
not been an issue with this intersection. He stated it may be nice to do the
improvements now, but it is not an immediate priority.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked staff about the cost. Director Hutt replied the current
estimate is $55,000 to complete the modification.
Councilmember Coplen asked staff if the final design would be seen next summer.
City Manager Jennifer Fadden replied during the third quarter of 2016.
Councilmember Short asked staff if the tapered approach would be less expensive.
Director Hutt replied the cost for both would be about the same.
Councilmember Short stated if providing the improvements now has a positive off-
set with later construction or the design plan, it should be done now, with the
tapering at the front. He stated having a concern of doing improvements now that
will be undone later.
Councilmember Short asked staff if a lack of visibility had been identified. Director
Hutt replied yes, a reduced site distance has been identified, particularly when
larger vehicles are in place.

City of Colleyville Page 8
Councilmember Mogged stated he does not want to spend money unnecessarily.
He stated he wants to do what works and fixes the problem. He believes this
affects more than one person.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked staff if the lower curb, like at the Copperglen
Subdivision, can be done here. Director Hutt replied it could be done; however, it
will cost more than the intermediate improvement.
City Manager Jennifer Fadden asked staff if these improvements are to be done
now, will it be incorporated in the next program of work (Phase 3 final design) that
we are going to engage TranSystems to conduct. Director Hutt replied yes, if we
want to pursue the modifications, staff will work with TranSystems to try to figure
out where to include these improvements, and how they will coincide with the
Phase 3 final design.
City Manager Jennifer Fadden asked City Council if they would like to incorporate
this intersection improvement during Phase 3’s design. Councilmembers agreed.
Mayor Kelly adjourned the Pre Council meeting at 9:03 p.m.
PC-3 Presentation and discussion regarding Colleyville water usage
Strategic Services Manager Adrienne Lothery presented this item and briefed the
City Council.
Mayor Kelly asked staff if the presentation is reflective of water usage for the
entire City. Manager Lothery replied yes.
Councilmember Short asked staff if water usage is due to personal habits and
preference. Manager Lothery replied yes. Councilmember Mogged added it could
be a leak in an irrigation system and pool problems. Councilmember Coplen added
some are watering their yards more than twice a week, and others have adhered
to the previous watering restrictions.
Councilmember Short asked staff if the examples provided were based on similar
lot sizes. Manager Lothery replied staff provided examples as close as possible to
each other.
Mayor Kelly asked staff if there will be a posting of this information on the website.
Manager Lothery replied yes, this information will be communicated.

5a Ordinance O-15-1971
Consideration of an amendment to the PUDC-Planned Unit
Development Commercial zoning district on Lots 2, 53, and 54, of the
Village at Colleyville, located at 18, 20, and 26 Main Street, Case
ZC15-016
Mayor Kelly read the caption of Ordinance O-15-1971.
There was no update needed from staff.
Mayor Kelly opened the public hearing at 7:47 p.m.
Jeff Polk, applicant, and Steve Early, owner, presented this item and briefed City
Council.
There were no others present wishing to speak and Mayor Kelly closed the public
hearing at 7:54 p.m.
Mayor Kelly stated he struggles with the off-set of the building from the street that
is taking away from the integrity and character of the Village. He stated parallel
parking has not been an issue with elderly patrons in the Village. He added he
believes others will begin to ask for the same revisions to parking. Mr. Polk stated
the building will appear to be closer to the street given the proposed design, and
Lots 53 and 54 are open space lots, adjacent to the building. He added handicap
parking will be available to the rear of the building; however, most patrons will use
the front entrance.
Councilmember Short stated if this configuration makes the business work, he
stated not having an issue with it.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated angled parking exists in the Village, and it works;
therefore, he supports it.
Councilmember Mogged stated he appreciated their input for the safety concerns,
and stated he supports this as well.
City Council Minutes October 20, 2015
City of Colleyville Page 13
Mayor Kelly stated currently in the ordinance, if the trees die, within three years,
they are mitigated, but may not have to be placed on site. Director Nusser
concurred. Mayor Kelly stated he would prefer for trees to always be there, and
replaced with at least four caliper inches or greater. Mr. Polk agreed.
Mayor Kelly stated he wants the trees to be replaced in the same spot in which the
trees died. Director Nusser stated given the size of the existing trees, and then to
replant with the same caliper inches, may not be possible to plant in the existing
spots. She explained the Planning and Zoning Commission suggested replanting
the parkway, then use the remaining inches to be planted on the front open space
lots.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor agreed it would be on the subject property. Councilmember
Coplen stated the ordinance is worded as such as well.
Mayor Kelly stated he is not as concerned about mitigating additional inches
versus always having trees which are at least three or four inch in caliper, as long
as there are always trees in those spots. Director Nusser stated the code requires
six inch caliper trees. He stated he wants to ensure there are always good sized
trees in these spots.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked Mr. Polk if he has had any thought to adding more
trees to the open space lots. Mr. Polk replied yes, and added that a landscape plan
has been submitted, with a tree in that location which will enhance that area. He
stated the Village Owners Association has interest in us making the enhancement
to the open space.
Mayor Kelly asked staff about the size of the existing trees. Director Nusser replied
12 inch caliper trees; however, Mr. Polk states they are nine inches.
Mayor Kelly made a motion to approve Ordinance O-15-1971 with an
amendment to add should the trees be removed, destroyed, or critically
altered within three years of the date of issuance of the building permit
for the project at 26 Main Street, they shall be mitigated by replanting the
same number of caliper inches, minimum four-inch caliper in size, in the
landscape islands in the parking area on Main Street. If additional space is
needed for replanting additional caliper inches in order to meet mitigation
requirements after the landscape islands in the parking area on Main
Street are replanted, the open space area at the northwest corner of Main
Street and Mission Lane must be utilized. The replacement trees shall be
of similar size and species to the existing trees to the best of availability.
There shall always be one tree, minimum four-inch caliper in size, in each
of the five landscape areas in the parking along Main Street between
Mission Lane and Pleasant Run Road. Should trees be removed, destroyed,
or critically altered after three years of the date of issuance of the
building permit for the project at 26 Main Street, they shall be mitigated
City Council Minutes October 20, 2015
City of Colleyville Page 14
by replanting the same number of caliper inches in the landscape islands
in the parking area on Main Street at the time the trees are removed,
destroyed, or critically altered. Councilmember Mogged seconded the
motion.

Aye: 5 - Mayor David Kelly, Mayor Pro Tem Mike Taylor, and
Councilmembers Chuck Mogged, Jody Short, and Nancy Coplen

stated Keep Colleyville Beautiful reached out to him for the filling of the vacancy.
Mayor Kelly asked staff if the board is made up of three Parks and Recreation
Advisory Board members and three Keep Colleyville Beautiful and/or Colleyville
Garden Club members. Manager Hubbard replied yes. Mayor Kelly stated he would
like an appointment from the Colleyville Garden Club.
Mayor Kelly stated he will move forward with this appointment; however, he
stated he would like for staff to take a look at the Tree Board, in general, and
consider adding the future forester or arborist, to diversify the group.
