Wednesday, November 4, 2015 City Council Chambers
Mayor David Kelly called the Pre Council meeting of the Colleyville City Council to
order on November 4, 2015, at 5:31 p.m.
ROLL CALL: Mayor David Kelly, Mayor Pro Tem Mike Taylor, and Councilmembers
Chuck Mogged, Chris Putnam, Jody Short, and Nancy Coplen
Absent: Councilmember Carol Wollin

PC-1 Discussion and update on the SH26/Colleyville Boulevard Construction
Projects
Public Works Director Jeremy Hutt presented this item and briefed the City
Council. He introduced Chris Hartke, Professional Engineer, with Teague, Nall &
Perkins and stated he would be available to answer any questions from City
Council.
For the purposes of the minutes, Phase 1 includes Pool Road to John McCain Road
and Phase 2 includes John McCain Road to Brown Trail.
Councilmember Mogged asked staff about the proposed date of completion for
Phase 1. Director Hutt replied TxDOT has not provided a final date.
Councilmember Mogged asked staff if they could be more specific with the
completion date for the Cotton Belt Trail project at John McCain. SH26 Project
Coordinator James Hubbard replied it may be closer to the end of January or
February for completion. Mayor Kelly stated the weather will play a part in the
construction completion. Coordinator Hubbard agreed.
Mayor Kelly asked Mr. Hartke if the spacing, or flex joints, along the bridge railing
is required. Mr. Hartke replied he does not know what the standard is for the
railing. Mayor Kelly stated the gap looks bad.
City Council Minutes November 4, 2015
City of Colleyville Page 2
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated he wants to ensure the construction of the wall,
across the bridge, is done correct this time. He stated he wants staff to ensure
TxDOT is completing the project to the correct standards.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked what staff means by “beneficial to shorten some of
the proposed turn lanes.” Director Hutt replied shortening some of the proposed
turn lanes will slightly reduce some of the construction cost, and provide more of
the end product we want, without negatively impacting the project.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked staff if this will affect the efficiency of the flow of
traffic. Director Hutt replied no.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked staff why the turn lanes were drawn long to begin
with. Director Hutt replied it was a conservative approach when first looking at
forecasted traffic counts.
Councilmember Mogged asked staff if there will be anything that will preclude the
turn lanes from being extended in the future. Director Hutt replied a
redevelopment scenario may create a situation, whereby the need to extend turn
lanes to accommodate traffic would become necessary.
Mayor Kelly stated the roadway needs to be built to take into account the future
traffic.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked staff if the reduction will create friction in the other
lanes. Director Hutt replied TxDOT has certain design criteria that does not always
fit with each project; therefore, staff worked with the design consultant and looked
at each turn lane to see where there is no need to be overly conservative, as long
as it does not impact the functionality and overall product.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked staff what the length of the turn lane at Centerpark
Drive and SH26 is. Director Hutt replied it will be a 390 foot turn lane, reduced
from 550 feet.
Councilmember Coplen asked staff about the northbound turn lane at Church
Street. Director Hutt replied this turn lane is already 260 feet.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked staff, given the growth at Tinker Road and Oak Pointe
Drive, will those turn lanes be adequate? Mayor Kelly stated this area is pretty
much developed. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated the office center to the south of this
intersection is going to become busy, again, at some point. He stated he is not
sure what is being gained by these reductions, other than more landscaping.
Director Hutt stated he believed the reduction in this turn lane will accommodate
current and future traffic.
City Council Minutes November 4, 2015
City of Colleyville Page 3
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked staff if there are reduction in costs, will it be from the
City’s cost or the partners’ costs. Director Hutt replied the current costs exceed the
current available funding; therefore, there would not be any money going back to
anyone. He stated funds are still needed for the completion of the project.
Councilmember Short asked staff if staff is speaking about accommodating in the
queues in the left turn lane, or will it be accommodating the traffic getting into
that left turn lane. Director Hutt replied it will be to accommodate the queues in
the turn lane for this intersection (Tinker Road/Oak Pointe Drive).
Councilmember Short asked Mr. Hartke if there are instances where we are
accommodating queues in the turn lane. Mr. Hartke replied there is criteria based
on reducing some of the storages and the through red time queue.
Mayor Kelly stated the turn lanes may be underutilized today; however, the
roadway is being designed and built to meet the 2035 traffic projections.
Councilmember Short stated he believes it is overbuilding the road, and at some
point he will advocate for the change in philosophy.
Mayor Kelly asked Mr. Hartke if the reduction in turn lanes will meet the 95th
percentile for the 2035 traffic projections. Mr. Hartke replied yes.
Mayor Kelly asked Mr. Hartke if the turn lanes will meet the highest projected
capacity 20 years from now. Mr. Hartke replied yes. City Manager Jennifer Fadden
added based on today’s projected traffic counts. She stated it does not take into
consideration a redevelopment of an intersection corner which could increase
traffic counts.
Councilmember Short asked Mr. Hartke what the projections are based on. Mr.
Hartke replied TxDOT traffic projections for 2035, and the North Central Texas
Council of Governments. Councilmember Short added this being based on
projected growth. Mr. Hartke concurred. Director Hutt replied there is a two
percent growth factored in as well.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked Mr. Hartke if these turn lanes account for those using
the turn lanes to turn around to go back to where they want to go. Mr. Hartke
replied yes, some additional access has been considered, and some locations have
been mitigated to reduce some of the traffic into those intersections.
Councilmember Short stated the turn lanes are still too long, especially when the
turn lanes would only be backed up during the peak traffic times, otherwise they
will be empty. He stated the prospect of a vehicle slowing down in a through lane
is not such a bad thing. He stated it is one of the things we can do to make
Colleyville’s roadway/section look different and be more of a destination.
City Council Minutes November 4, 2015
City of Colleyville Page 4
Councilmember Mogged asked Councilmember Short if we are talking about 15
feet. Councilmember Short stated the turn lane at Centerpark Drive, should be
reduced to 260 feet.
Mayor Kelly stated being concerned about reducing the turn lane for
accommodating traffic for today versus accommodating for future traffic. He
stated it is inconsistent with how we moved from a four lane design to a six lane
design to accommodate future traffic.
Councilmember Short stated the number of vehicles turning will more than fit in
that lane.
Councilmember Mogged asked Councilmember Short if the philosophy needs to
change versus a number change. Councilmember Short replied correct.
Mayor Kelly suggested lowering the maximum speed allowed, to lower the volume
of the speed of traffic.
Councilmember Short asked Mr. Hartke if the design speed is 40 mph. Mr. Hartke
replied the design speed is 40 mph to allow for geometrics, and this project is
scheduled to have a speed study done upon completion, at which time the true
posted speed would be determined. He stated 45 mph will likely be the posted
speed of the corridor.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked Mr. Hartke why the roadway design is for five mph
less than its optimum. Mr. Hartke replied the criteria of reducing it to 40 mph
allows for the reduction in turn lane requirements.
Mayor Kelly asked Mr. Hartke if there will be a greater turning radius in this design
than what is on the road currently. Mr. Hartke replied it pretty much matches the
existing.
Councilmember Short asked Mr. Hartke about the northbound left turn lane at
Centerpark Drive during peak traffic. Mr. Hartke replied it is 230 feet.
Councilmember Mogged asked Councilmember Short if he believes 390 feet is still
too long for the turn lane at Centerpark Drive. Councilmember Short replied yes,
he stated we should just accommodate the left turn queue, and we ought to allow
a 20 mph deceleration in the through lane of traffic. Councilmember Coplen
commented the design would allow for peak traffic times. Councilmember Short
concurred.
Mayor Kelly stated having concerns about being under capacity for the left turn
lanes, especially since the City will be the one to correct it in the future.
City Council Minutes November 4, 2015
City of Colleyville Page 5
Councilmember Short asked staff about the southbound left turn queue at Glade
Road. Mr. Hartke replied it has a 65 foot queue. Councilmember Short stated this
proposed turn lane of 370 feet could be reduced.
Councilmember Short stated in the event of redevelopment, the developers could
complete the roadway improvements at that time.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated he does not believe people will notice the lanes have
been reduced from the original plan.
Councilmember Coplen stated being in favor of the reduction of the proposed turn
lanes because it will allow for more landscaping which will also help to reduce
speeds, and will create a nice boulevard for Colleyville.
Councilmember Mogged asked City Council what is the reward for shortening the
lanes, when there may be a potential risk of higher costs later. Councilmember
Short stated there will be opportunities for more landscaping for a better looking
roadway. He stated if the left turn is slower, the speeds will be more consistent,
creating an overall safer roadway.
Councilmember Putnam asked Mr. Hartke if the minimum lengths for the turn
lanes will allow for the projected traffic counts, in the 95th percentile, by 2035. Mr.
Hartke replied it varies depending on the location, but the lane length of 260 is the
minimum. He added there are six locations which will not meet the 95th percentile
through red queue based on this current design.
Mayor Kelly asked Mr. Hartke what the number would be if all turn lanes were at
260 feet. Mr. Hartke replied half would not meet the 95th percentile.
Councilmember Putnam asked Mr. Hartke what the percentage would be if all turn
lanes were at the minimum. Mr. Hartke replied it would be better to determine
what year the roadway is being designed out to, for instance one area may be
designed for 10 years at one location, then another at 12 years. He stated it is a
much more common sense way to look at it because the percentages are much
harder to apply to the roadway.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked Mr. Hartke if some of these changes will reduce below
the 95th percentile. Mr. Hartke replied the original design met all of the
requirements plus this red time through lane queue, which was a major factor in
reducing some of the turn lanes.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked Mr. Hartke if projected or current land use was
considered when determining the design of the roadway. Mr. Hartke replied a
separate traffic impact study was not completed; however, it does take today’s
land use and projects out, based on NCTCOG’s projections.
City Council Minutes November 4, 2015
City of Colleyville Page 6
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated he does not want trees to obscure traffic or the view
of the buildings. He stated he concurs with Councilmember Coplen in that we must
ensure the vision of the boulevard is maintained.
Councilmember Putnam stated he believes reducing the turn lanes is relatively
immaterial, in terms of traffic capacity. Mayor Kelly stated it could be different,
especially if we go with every intersection at 260 feet.
Councilmember Short stated if we are projecting a longer queue, we should go
with that, like at 310; however, if we are predicting a shorter queue, then why go
beyond that.
Councilmember Mogged stated this may result in a cost reduction.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated he would like to go with what is best for everyone.
He stated more landscaping will result in more costs in the future.
Councilmember Putnam stated being in favor of improvements such as the
reduction in the turn lanes to better improve landscaping, or to help in the
reduction of speed; however, not being in favor if this will result in traffic impacts
in the future.
Mayor Kelly stated being concerned with having to improve the roadway, at
Colleyville’s cost, in the future, when it could be done today.
Councilmember Short asked Mr. Hartke if we are asking for anything not in
TxDOT’s book. Mr. Hartke replied on some of the turn lanes being at 260 feet, we
are asking for some things that are not in the book, if we are not acknowledging
the queue lanes.
Mayor Kelly stated he would like to be more conservative by over capacitating the
turn lanes. Councilmembers agreed with staff’s proposed reductions in the turn
lanes.
Mayor Kelly asked Mr. Hartke if TxDOT will be good with these reductions. Mr.
Hartke replied yes, they are open to granting them; however, he does not have
that in writing yet.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked about the letting date for the project. Director Hutt
replied the final plans are due to TxDOT by November 13; however, the letting of
the project has been delayed to February.
Mayor Kelly asked staff about the timeframe for landscaping in Phase 2. Director
Hutt replied as long as the project is let, they will be able to meet the deadline.
City Council Minutes November 4, 2015
City of Colleyville Page 7
Councilmember Coplen asked if the plant selection will be consistent with Phase 1.
Director Hutt replied yes, as well as the branding manual.
Councilmember Coplen stated she prefers larger trees versus the small diameter
flowering trees like the ones in Phase 1.
Mayor Kelly asked Councilmember Coplen why she prefers larger trees.
Councilmember Coplen replied she likes the consistency throughout the City of
taller, more mature trees. She added the larger canopies provide better visibility.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated having a concern about leaves dropping on the
roadway. Mayor Kelly stated TxDOT has a standard for trees, such as limb length.
Mayor Kelly stated having a concern that one standard has been set within Phase
1. Councilmember Coplen stated the smaller trees could be taken out and larger
ones put in, eventually.
City Manager Jennifer Fadden asked City Council about their preference.
Councilmembers agreed with the landscaping for Phase 1, but to assess to see if
something needs to be changed once the trees are grown.
Councilmember Mogged asked staff what “greatly” means relative to construction
phasing. Mayor Kelly replied the entire corridor will be considered a construction
area which will greatly impact the businesses.
Councilmember Mogged asked staff about the impact, if only sections were
completed at a time, versus doing it all at once. Director Hutt replied it would be
twice the construction time for the entire corridor. He stated ideally staff would
like to limit construction to the shortest time frame, but we are also weighing in
the factors of the entire project length timeline, and impacts to traffic and
properties.
Councilmember Mogged asked Mr. Hartke about the duration of this plan. Mr.
Hartke replied the estimate is two to three years.
Mayor Kelly stated this model provides a severe impact to the center corridor. He
then asked Mr. Hartke if consideration had been given to completing John McCain
to Hall-Johnson, then move from Hall-Johnson to Brown Trail, to at least provide
relief to the center corridor. Mr. Hartke replied it would add significant costs to
complete it in sections, and it adds complexity to the project.
Mayor Kelly stated those sections are pretty long. Director Hutt replied staff has
been working with TxDOT with contracting strategies to identify sections where
construction activity within the phases is limited to certain days or establish a date
in which the project must be complete. He added there can be incentivized
milestones within the project.
City Council Minutes November 4, 2015
City of Colleyville Page 8
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked staff if there will only be one crew working the entire
corridor. Director Hutt replied it will depend on the contractor. Mayor Pro Tem
Taylor stated he did not want the contractor to mess up like the contractor did in
Phase 1.
Mayor Kelly stated he would like something to be done to minimize the impact to
the business center of the corridor.
Councilmember Short stated the contractor will look for ways to be creative to
achieve the incentives.
Mayor Kelly stated if the citizens are impeded, it will have a drastic effect on the
businesses during that time period.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated a good contractor should be responsive, as they do
not want complaints.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated the businesses need to know this is going to take
place.
Councilmember Short stated if the right contractor is chosen, they are going to
come up with a better plan to complete the construction.
Mayor Kelly recessed the Pre Council meeting at 7:04 p.m. Mayor Kelly
reconvened the Pre Council meeting at 7:56 p.m.
PC-2 Discussion of the Westcoat Drive and McDonwell School Road intersection
Public Works Director Jeremy Hutt presented this item and briefed the City
Council. Jeff Whitacre, Kimley Horn, was also available to answer questions.
Councilmember Putnam asked staff if there was a conclusion as to which short
term recommendation would have the most benefit. Director Hutt replied they are
quite similar, the first recommendation with the all way stop, with the channelized
right turn lane having a yield controlled scenario.
Councilmember Putnam stated the southbound solution (first of the two) seems to
be the more effective one.
Councilmember Mogged stated the right turn lane has the driver make the
commitment of the turn.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated he did not know if the eastbound right turn lane
would need to be as long for queueing as the southbound right turn lane. He
stated the southbound traffic tends to back up considerably.
City Council Minutes November 4, 2015
City of Colleyville Page 9
Mayor Kelly stated the eastbound turn lane, in the evening, would only be
improved slightly, compared to the other option. Councilmember Putnam agreed.
Councilmember Putnam asked City Council about the property to the east and if
the roadway could be punched all the way through to Pleasant Run Road. Mayor
Kelly stated if the property were to redevelop.
Councilmember Putnam asked Mayor Kelly about the factors prohibiting this being
done now. Mayor Kelly replied the roundabout will cost a whole lot more and the
right-of-way has not been acquired from the east property.
Councilmember Putnam asked Mayor Kelly if this is something planned. Mayor
Kelly replied he suggested adding something to this intersection while doing the
full depth reclamation of McDonwell School Road.
Councilmember Putnam asked staff what precludes this from being done now.
Director Hutt replied the five year outlook has been projected and there is no
funding available. He added the design might change given the development on
the eastbound side.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated if a subdivision developed, they would just tap into
an existing roundabout. Director Hutt stated it is doable, but there are some
current unknowns to design the roundabout. He stated a three-way roundabout
could be designed with the option to add a four-way later.
Councilmember Putnam stated while we are doing the full depth reclamation we
should address the intersection. Director Hutt replied the full depth reclamation
can be done in 30 days, whereas a roundabout will take longer.
Councilmember Short asked staff about a temporary roundabout option. Director
Hutt replied it may be an option. Mayor Kelly stated being concerned about a
roundabout freezing the eastbound traffic. Councilmember Short added the
temporary could have bypass lanes. Mayor Kelly stated the proposed design will
work just as well with the stop sign.
Councilmember Short asked Mr. Whitacre about the length of the right turn lane.
Mr. Whitacre replied 345 feet.
Councilmember Short asked Mr. Whitacre if that will accommodate the southbound
queue. Mr. Whitacre replied yes.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked Mr. Whitacre why it would not be a shorter lane. Mr.
Whitacre replied it has to be long enough so the eastbound traffic knows the driver
has committed to turning right. He added they could reevaluate the turn lane
length.
City Council Minutes November 4, 2015
City of Colleyville Page 10
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated he believes they would like the least expensive
solution to relieve some traffic congestion.
Councilmember Putnam stated most folks would like a roundabout. Mayor Pro Tem
Taylor concurred.
Councilmember Short stated a turn lane of 345 feet is overbuilt, when you can
accomplish the same thing with a shorter lane.
Councilmember Short asked Mr. Whitacre if the one stop will work by adding the
turn lanes. Mr. Whitacre replied they have it as an all-way stop which provides
smoother operations.
Councilmember Short asked Mr. Whitacre if they considered leaving the stop
control as it currently exists with adding the right turn lane. Mr. Whitacre replied
they did look at it, but it looked better as an all-way stop.
Councilmember Coplen asked Mayor Kelly if there have been many accidents at
this intersection. Mayor Kelly replied no.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked Mr. Whitacre if they are proposing a raised median to
channelize the right turn lane. Mr. Whitacre replied yes, it could be raised or
striped.
Councilmember Short asked staff about drainage impacts. Director Hutt replied
they looked at increasing the pavement width to accommodate the turn lane,
which would move the flow line to the west and cause utility poles to be moved.
Councilmember Short asked staff if the pipe under McDonwell School Road would
have to be moved. Director Hutt replied there may have to be some replacements
made.
Councilmember Mogged asked staff if the cost estimate includes those
adjustments. Director Hutt replied minor drainage is included, but anything
significant would have to be considered.
Councilmember Coplen asked staff about the placement of the stop sign. Director
Hutt replied in the center striped out area.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked staff if any right-of-way is available on the east side
of the road. Director Hutt replied the east side right-of-way is consistent with the
current fence line; however, the west side has adequate right-of-way for both
short-term scenarios.
Councilmember Short asked staff if the road work is next summer. Director Hutt
replied he believes next spring.
City Council Minutes November 4, 2015
City of Colleyville Page 11
Councilmember Short asked City Council if they would like to go with the all-way
stop sooner than that. Mayor Kelly stated having a concern that it will kill the
southbound intersection by backing it up all the way to John McCain. He suggested
waiting five or six months. Councilmembers agreed.
Councilmember Short suggested reducing the length of the turn lane.
Councilmember Putnam agreed. City Manage Jennifer Fadden added the input has
been received.
Director Hutt recapped the direction for the intersection would be: adding a
channelized southbound right turn lane to the intersection in conjunction with the
Westcoat Drive rehabilitation project that will be occurring in this fiscal year with
an all-way stop. City Manager Jennifer Fadden added the southbound right turn
will be a yielded turn.
Mayor Kelly adjourned the Pre Council meeting at 8:23 p.m.
