Colleyville Area Chamber of Commerce President Connie Hanner, and Chairman of
the Board Matt Eiserloh, presented this item and informed the City Council of
Chamber activities.
Councilmember Putnam asked Ms. Hanner about the Chamber’s role in the SH26
listening sessions, has some thought been given to how you can assist those
businesses? Ms. Hanner replied they are developing a tool kit for businesses to
use, whether they are a member or not, with opportunities to help businesses
save money on their bottom line. She stated they would stay in contact with the
City, as well as TxDOT, so that businesses are heard during those communication
opportunities.

City of Colleyville Page 2
Mayor Kelly asked staff if there have been some medical events which have not
been related to wellness. Director Huitt replied yes, there have been a few
catastrophic events that could not have been averted through wellness.
Councilmember Mogged asked staff if we have plateaued, or is there something
else. Director Huitt replied we experience good and bad years, especially with
significant events. She stated there may be double digit increases next year. She
added if it is truly cyclical, then these numbers will decrease in future years.
PC-3 Discussion of an electronic voting system for the Council Chambers
City Secretary Amy Shelley presented this item and briefed the City Council.
Councilmember Coplen stated being interested in a voting system as it would help
to shorten the meetings. Councilmember Putnam concurred, and stated a system
ensures voter integrity and eliminates any ambiguity with a roll call sequence.
Councilmember Coplen stated she would like to see different examples.
Mayor Kelly asked staff if the surrounding cities do have a voting system. City
Secretary Amy Shelley replied yes.
Councilmember Wollin asked staff about errors and how those are recorded. City
Secretary Amy Shelley stated she did not know if errors are recorded since
systems she has seen, a button actually has to be pushed.
Mayor Kelly asked staff about making everyone aware of the “ayes” and “nays”,
relative to Charter requirements. City Attorney Matthew Boyle replied the voting
results would need to be displayed in the Chambers and on the broadcast.
Councilmember Coplen asked staff if you have to have the speaker queuing
option. City Secretary Amy Shelley replied no.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated he would like to know what the value to the taxpayer
would be. He stated he heard consistently, during the comprehensive plan
discussions, that citizens in the Chambers could not hear. He stated he believes
the sound system needs to be addressed.
Councilmember Putnam stated it is voter integrity, and a voting system provides
structure. He stated when each speaker votes separately, voting can be influenced
by other voters. He stated Colleyville is a minority because we do not currently
have a voting system. He stated he believed it is a transparency issue, and for the
cost is very minimal in this budget.
City Council Minutes March 8, 2016
City of Colleyville Page 3
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked Councilmember Putnam about the integrity of voting,
when the votes are being recorded and verbally stated. Councilmember Putnam
replied he has made the argument.
Councilmember Coplen stated it is a time saver, especially with what she has
experienced with other meetings she has attended.
Councilmember Putnam stated there are times when open discussion takes place,
when the vote should take place. Mayor Kelly stated the discussion is allowed.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated a point of order can be called at any time.
Councilmember Coplen stated being in favor of having the simplest thing, to
record the vote but not for discussion. She stated this will simplify moving through
the agenda.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated the sound system needs to be fixed. Information
Systems Manager Chris Pena explained the sound system is currently being
audited.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked staff about the latest update. Manager Pena replied
the equipment has been replaced, and there were improvements to the sound
system, but with the recent filling up of the Chambers, the volume has been
exposed.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked staff about why this was not addressed then.
Manager Pena replied staff did ask about it at the time, but it was not discussed at
length. Councilmember Putnam stated the question was asked, but we are just
now discussing it. Manager Pena stated staff has looked at about five different
systems, and we feel we can address something to fit this need.
Mayor Kelly stated if we move forward, the sound needs to be addressed first, and
the voting system would need to be the simplest, most effective, but the least
costly of the taxpayer’s funds.
Mayor Kelly asked staff if the Charter currently requires individual voting versus
raising their hand with a vote. City Attorney Matthew Boyle replied yes.
Mayor Kelly asked staff if hitting a button to vote is acceptable. City Attorney
Matthew Boyle replied yes, because it is recordable.
Councilmembers agreed to the least costly system without speaker queuing, and
with maybe two or three options.
City Manager Jennifer Fadden suggested packaging this together with the sound
system as it seems there may be some integration. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated
he would prefer not using the same sound vendor.
City Council Minutes March 8, 2016
City of Colleyville Page 4
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked staff why the viewers at home have issues hearing
the meeting. Manager Pena replied staff works with Verizon and Time Warner
Cable when they are made aware of the volume issues. He stated both staff
members work together to fix the issues.
Councilmember Wollin stated she sometimes has issues with the clarity of the
webcast too.

Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked staff if the site plan accounts for the improvements to
Glade Road. Director Nusser replied it does account for the proposed renovations.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked staff about the setbacks between the two lots.
Director Nusser replied the minimum side yard setback for the R-30 zoning district
is 10 feet. She stated there would be a minimum of 20 feet between houses.
Councilmember Coplen asked staff about the mentioning of the grandfathered lots
into the R-40. Director Nusser replied she could not speak about the history, but
staff can tell when certain structures were built. She stated part of staff’s analysis
is to look at the surrounding development patterns and lots. She stated over half
of the lots (58 percent) are less than 40,000 square feet within 1,000 feet of this
property.
Councilmember Mogged asked staff if they know the percentage of lots that meet
the R-30 requirements. Director Nusser replied most lots are between 30,000 and
40,000 square feet. She stated there are 77 lots zoned R-40 within 1,000 feet of
this property. She stated 45 of those are less than 40,000 square feet.
City Council Minutes March 8, 2016
City of Colleyville Page 10
Councilmember Mogged asked staff if that is just the ones south of Glade Road.
Director Nusser replied no, it includes the entire 1,000 foot circle around the
subject property.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked staff if this includes Cranbrook. Director Nusser
replied yes.
Councilmember Mogged asked staff what the numbers would be for just the
portion south of Glade Road. Director Nusser replied not knowing that number;
however, 77 lots zoned R-40 within 1,000 feet of this property, with 58 percent of
those being less than 40,000 square feet. She added 42 percent of those are at
least 40,000 square feet. She stated there are two lots currently zoned R-30, and
there are 34 lots currently zoned R-20. She added there are 27 lots less than
40,000 square feet, south of Glade Road, within 1,000 feet of the subject
property.
Mayor Kelly asked staff which of the lots are less than 40,000 square feet, and
that do not meet the R-40 Land Development Code building restrictions. Director
Nusser replied it would depend if the property was platted or not. She stated if the
property is already platted, they could apply for a building permit, as long as a
non-conforming issue is not made worse. She stated if the lot is unplatted, then
they would need to plat the property first, and at that point, they would not meet
the zoning, if the lot is less than 40,000.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked staff how many lots within the area are smaller than
what is being proposed, such as Rose Street. Director Nusser replied all of the lots
on Rose Street are less than 40,000 square feet, except for three on the east side.
Councilmember Coplen stated it is possible the homes down the street were there
or built before the R-40 zoning designation.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated the two R-30 proposed lots appear to be larger than
what is in the proximity, and stated he would not want anything smaller than that.
Mayor Kelly stated having a concern of others wanting to do the same, which will
lose the identity of the area. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated he believed some of the
ones that support this change in zoning were against the comprehensive plan.
Mayor Kelly stated it meets the guidelines of the comprehensive plan, but does it
meet the integrity of the neighborhood?
Councilmember Coplen asked Mayor Kelly about the concern with the smaller lots.
Mayor Kelly said if the lots are platted, then they can pull a building permit, but if
the lot is not platted, then they will have to plat before they can build, and if the
lot is smaller than 40,000 square feet, they too, may have to seek a different
zoning district.
City Council Minutes March 8, 2016
City of Colleyville Page 11
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated at one point, the corner lot down the road was
denied a zoning change. Mayor Kelly added that many years back Mr. Behrens was
denied too.
Councilmember Mogged stated it would help him if he actually got the real square
footage of the lots in the R-40 zoning. Director Nusser asked if City Council would
like within 1,000 feet, and south of Glade Road. Councilmembers stated south of
Glade Road, in this distinct neighborhood.
Mayor Kelly asked staff to indicate, of the lots showing, what are non-platted lots
that would not meet the R-40 conditions. Director Nusser replied staff would not
be able to tell that unless they have surveys of the properties; however, she can
show which of the R-40 zoned properties are platted, south of Glade Road. She
added she can get the square footage of all the lots. Councilmembers agreed.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked staff about the distance from the back of the curb to
the property line. Director Nusser replied 10 foot building setback from the right-
of-way.
Councilmember Mogged asked staff if the driveway cuts for the northern property
would be Behrens Road or Glade Road. Director Nusser replied the applicant is
proposing Behrens Road, and staff has not evaluated the orientation of the lot, if
they were to use Glade Road. She stated the access could be noted and restricted
on the plat.
This is a first reading, therefore City Council did not take any action.
6b Ordinance O-16-1977
Consideration of a Special Use Permit for a day care center on Lot 3,
Block 6R, of the Woodbriar Estates West Addition, located at 300 West
Greenbriar Lane, Case ZC15-023

There was no one present wishing to speak and Mayor Kelly closed the public
hearing at 9:00 p.m.
Mayor Kelly asked staff which property the east side retaining wall and fencing sits
on. Director Nusser replied the survey does not note the retaining wall or fencing.
City Council Minutes March 8, 2016
City of Colleyville Page 12
Mayor Kelly asked staff if the building design factor worksheet could be included,
since it is tough to approve a waiver when the current building score is unknown.
Director Nusser replied staff will get the owner to provide the worksheet.
Mayor Kelly stated being good with leaving the parking as is, if the number of
students is based on 70; however, if they can increase their parking, then he is
good with them increasing the number of students.
Councilmember Wollin asked staff how many students were previously in this
building. Director Nusser replied not knowing.
Councilmember Wollin stated we do not know if they can even house 100
students. Director Nusser replied the applicant is requesting to have 100 students,
and she stated she assumes the number of students is based on City and state
licensing and occupancy code requirements.
Mayor Kelly asked staff if the number of parking spaces designates the number of
students. Director Nusser replied correct. Mayor Kelly stated he is good with
increasing the number of students, if they can increase their parking, in the future.
This is a first reading, therefore City Council did not take any action.

Mayor Kelly asked staff if the trees in the front are in the right-of-way, and if they
will be removed during road construction. Public Works Director Jeremy Hutt
replied those trees are likely in the right-of-way, closer to the road, and would be
removed during SH26 road construction.
Mayor Kelly asked staff if there are other offices in this complex. Director Nusser
replied yes.
Mayor Kelly asked staff if there are other buildings in this office complex that have
this same articulation, and they have signs. Director Nusser replied she believed
so.
Councilmember Mogged asked Mr. Bural if the three wall spaces are all a part of
one office space. Mr. Bural replied the office could be divided; however, the
applicant is using the whole building.
Mayor Kelly stated he does not see a hardship with this request, given that other
businesses have signs on the buildings.
Councilmember Putnam stated there are multiple variances with this, and he
added being concerned other tenants will want the same. He stated then we have
inconsistencies across the board.
Councilmember Coplen asked Mr. Bural if the applicant is going to be on the
monument sign in the front. Mr. Bural stated not knowing.
Councilmember Putnam stated if they used the other logo, it would fit on that one
wall section, with maybe a slight variance.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated he could not support the current request.
Mayor Kelly asked staff if City Council were to continue this, could the applicant
amend the sign and waiver request. Director Nusser replied this request is specific
to appeal the Sign Board of Appeals decision.
Mayor Kelly asked staff if this request is denied, could the applicant come forward
with another request. Director Nusser replied not knowing of a hold that would
prohibit him from bringing forward another request.
Mayor Kelly told Mr. Bural to have the applicant look at the other buildings, and
see if they can come up with something different, which may only have one waiver
request versus three.
Mayor Kelly made a motion to deny Resolution R-16-3971. Mayor Pro Tem
Taylor seconded the motion.

the traffic on SH26, and how it should stay the same, no more lanes; the trains
coming through Colleyville, and how Colleyville does not need the train traffic, and
