PC-1 Colleyville Parks Overview
Parks Manager Heather Dowell presented this item and updated the City Council
on Parks programs and services.
Councilmember Putnam asked staff what is a Mexican White Oak tree. Manager
Dowell replied these trees are similar to the White Oaks, but are more drought
tolerant, and have been tried out in this area, much like west Texas.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked staff what she meant by “like west Texas”. Manager
Dowell replied as being hotter and drier, this area resembles west Texas, taking a
toll on the plant materials with less rain.
Councilmember Mogged asked staff about the reduction seen with a drip irrigation
rather than a more traditional irrigation system. Manager Dowell replied about a
50 percent reduction on each bed. She added drip irrigation can be retrofitted to
save on watering.
Councilmember Wollin asked staff when the Parks master plan would be
completed, and if some of the citizen survey questions will be incorporated.
Manager Dowell replied it will take about six months to get this rolling and maybe
starting in June, with getting the RFP and guidelines ready. She added staff will
City Council Minutes May 3, 2016
City of Colleyville Page 2
have citizen surveys and focus groups compiled to know where we want to go with
the design standards through all parks.
Councilmember Short asked staff what differentiates a community park and
neighborhood park. Manager Dowell replied the size and the amenities, and how
they are located, create the difference. She stated some may have a parking lot, a
few parking spaces, none at all, or the park will focus to serve a particular
neighborhood.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked staff if a neighborhood park example would be
Kimzey Park versus City Park. Manager Dowell replied yes.

Approval of a Local Project Advance Funding Agreement (LPAFA) with
the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) for the
reconstruction of SH26 (Colleyville Boulevard) from John McCain Road
to Hall-Johnson Road, and authorize the city manager to execute the
agreement
Mayor Kelly read Resolution R-16-3986 in its entirety.
Public Works Director Jeremy Hutt presented this item and briefed the City
Council.
Mayor Kelly asked staff if these are listed as two separate phases. Director Hutt
replied correct, they are two different projects being constructed with the same
contractor and the same project; however, they were originally identified as two
separate projects; therefore, there are two separate agreements being proposed
with different funding amounts, and moving forward as one project.
Mayor Kelly opened the public hearing at 7:56 p.m.
Kathy Hadley, 204 Timberline Drive North, spoke in opposition with concerns for
the construction of SH26 because it will change the character and charm of
Colleyville.
There were no others present wishing to speak and Mayor Kelly closed the public
hearing at 8:01 p.m.
City Council Minutes May 3, 2016
City of Colleyville Page 6
Councilmember Putnam asked staff if the Turnback agreement is contemplated
here, or if we will have a separate agreement in the future. Director Hutt replied
the Memorandum of Understanding established that we will respectfully request a
Turnback agreement will be considered and negotiated. He added this advanced
funding agreement is not the Turnback agreement.
Councilmember Putnam asked staff about the timing of the Turnback agreement.
Director Hutt replied TxDOT is not in a rush to have the Turnback agreement
formalized and adopted; therefore, TxDOT has indicated it may take place upon
the completion of the project.
Councilmember Putnam asked staff if this is a contractual risk without that
document. Director Hutt replied TxDOT is not concerned about that, at this point.
Councilmember Wollin asked staff if the upgrades have been included with this
segment, rather than bidding them out separately. Director Hutt replied correct,
there have been a few upgrades that were incorporated with the Phase 1 section,
such as stamped concrete crosswalks, black powder coated signals, and
illuminated backlit street signage that were incorporated with the base bid of this
upcoming phase and will not have to be done separately by the City.
Councilmember Mogged asked staff about the value of the improvements that
were added to the base bid of the project. Director Hutt replied there was about a
$4 million value if they were acquired through the same process as Phase 1.
Mayor Kelly asked staff if this is a Texas Department of Transportation project, as
they own the roadway. Director Hutt replied correct, this is a state highway which
is owned and operated by the Texas Department of Transportation. He added the
point for the advanced funding agreement is that we are participating in the cost
of the project; however, TxDOT is administering the project and in control of the
right-of-way and contractors; Colleyville is a funding party.
Mayor Kelly asked staff if this project was presented to TxDOT and NCTCOG for
funding in 1999 or 2000. Director Hutt replied correct, it has been in the works for
some time.
Councilmember Short asked staff about the scope of work, with a six lane
ultimate. Director Hutt replied that is a direct response to the current regional
mobility plan for a four lane initial construction with a six lane ultimate. He added
we are expecting the plan to be approved through the state and federal levels in
June of this year.
Councilmember Putnam asked staff what is to keep TxDOT from coming back and
saying the six lane configuration was not passed, and now you will have to live
with the four lane configuration, or nothing, is there a risk or not? Director Hutt
replied there is a risk tied to the construction. He stated until the Mobility 2040
City Council Minutes May 3, 2016
City of Colleyville Page 7
Plan is fully adopted, the project would be constructed, but striped at four lanes
until such time the plan is approved. He added the plan has gone through the RTC,
the Executive Board, and they are expecting action by the end of June.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor made a motion to approve Resolution R-16-3986.
Councilmember Mogged seconded the motion.
The motion to approve carried by the following vote:
Aye: 7 – Mayor Kelly, Mayor Pro Tem Taylor, Councilmembers Carol
Wollin, Chuck Mogged, Chris Putnam, Jody Short, and Nancy Coplen
5b Resolution R-16-3987

Council.

an amount not to exceed $253,055 and authorize the city manager to
execute the agreement
Mayor Kelly read Resolution R-16-3988 in its entirety.
Public Works Director Jeremy Hutt presented this item and briefed the City
Council.
Mayor Kelly asked staff to explain the total transactions needed for right-of-way,
sidewalks, and temporary construction easements. Director Hutt replied there are
different acquisitions necessary; 11 rights-of-way for multiple infrastructure
elements, 11 sidewalk or pedestrian easements; and 29 temporary construction
easements for the duration of the project. He added this makes 51 total
transactions.
Mayor Kelly asked staff if the property owner is being paid for the use of their
property for the temporary construction easements. Director Hutt replied for the
purposes of building a sidewalk, driveway, roadway, or storm drainage, whatever
element that is triggering that temporary need, and once the project is completed,
the temporary construction easement would expire and no longer be needed or be
a part of that property.
Mayor Kelly asked staff if the City will be purchasing the property for the sidewalk
easements or would the property owner still own the property. Director Hutt
replied the property owner would still own the property. He stated the easement
would be needed to allow the placement of the sidewalk or trail.
Mayor Kelly asked staff if the City will be purchasing the property for the rights-of-
way, or would the property owner still own the property. Director Hutt replied with
the rights-of-way scenario, the City would be purchasing the property.
Mayor Kelly asked staff, out of the 51 transactions, only 11 pieces of property
would be purchased by the City. Director Hutt replied correct.
Mayor Kelly opened the public hearing at 8:19 p.m.
Steve Waltens, 716 Duns Tew Path, spoke in opposition with concerns of being
misled last year relative to the Glade Road project.
George Dodson, 7309 Balmoral Drive, spoke in opposition and asked how many
other agencies were considered during the bidding process. He stated also having
concerns about being misled last year relative to the Glade Road project.
Kathy Hadley, 204 Timberline Drive North, spoke in opposition with concerns for
the construction of Glade Road. She stated the Charter requires 60 percent of the
property owners adjacent to the road must approve roadway improvements.
City Council Minutes May 3, 2016
City of Colleyville Page 9
Tony Seris, 5000 Montclair Drive, spoke in opposition with concerns for the need
of additional right-of-way for the construction efforts on Glade Road;
accountability for information; truthfulness; and tree impact.
Elizabeth Zeitlin, 1800 Glade Road, spoke in opposition and stated her concerns
are that the residents were led to believe that additional right-of-way is not
necessary.
Judy Chappell, 1716 Glade Road, spoke in opposition and stated her concerns are
that the residents were led to believe that additional right-of-way is not necessary.
Joel Stanley, 1609 Douglas Avenue, spoke in opposition and stated having
concerns about the destruction of mature trees along Glade Road.
Neil Hart, 1600 Glade Road, spoke in opposition and stated having concerns about
the additional right-of-way needed for wider sidewalks and the use of eminent
domain.
The following persons did not wish to speak, but did wish to register their
opposition: Julie Waltens, 716 Duns Tew Path; Claudia Bevill, 119 Cheek-Sparger

Thomas and Stephanie Tedder, 7907 Jefferson Circle; Bill and Kendall Hohmann,

Douglas Avenue.
There were no others present wishing to speak and Mayor Kelly closed the public
hearing at 8:43 p.m.
Councilmember Putnam asked staff about what latitude does the consultant have
regarding negotiating the price, such as a “do not exceed number based on
market value.” Director Hutt replied it has not been determined, but ideally a
discussion will be held with City Council to provide direction on the latitude.
Councilmember Putnam asked staff what happens if the consultant has exhausted
all opportunities to settle with the property owner. Director Hutt replied staff will
seek further direction from City Council.
Councilmember Putnam asked staff what are the further steps. Director Hutt
replied if City Council so choses, it could be eminent domain.
Councilmember Putnam asked staff if that provision is in the contract, to give the
consultant to provide eminent domain recommendations. Director Hutt replied the
consultant can make the recommendation, but it would require City Council
approval.
City Council Minutes May 3, 2016
City of Colleyville Page 10
Mayor Kelly asked staff about how the valuations are determined, initially, in
terms of offers. Director Hutt replied the right-of-way type needed will determine
when the appraisals are done, and what the impacts are to the property. He stated
not all appraisals are done on the front end, such as the smaller temporary
easements.
Mayor Kelly asked staff if the City would essentially be “renting” the other 40
properties, for a period of time, for the temporary construction easements.
Director Hutt replied yes, for the temporary construction easements. He stated the
pedestrian easements are permanent which allows for the sidewalk element to be
located in that area.
Mayor Kelly asked staff about the dimensional boundaries for the easements.
Director Hutt replied each of the sections of right-of-way vary on each parcel,
there are no standard shapes.
Mayor Kelly asked staff about the history of this project, such as design. Director
Hutt replied the Glade Road corridor project has been going on for some time, with
several public meetings. He stated Phase 1 is the only section progressing to the
right-of-way acquisition and construction. He stated Phases 2, 3, and 4 have been
recently initiated and are in the final design process.
Councilmember Mogged asked staff if we are choosing the lien approach, or
Charter requirement. Assistant City Attorney Ben Stool replied it is not what is
before you tonight, as this is a professional services agreement. He also clarified
that the City is not proceeding with that particular provision of the Charter.
Director Hutt replied that is not the approach taken, the funding is from the TIF
funding district, and there are no plans to do liens or other assessments.
Councilmember Short asked staff to clarify bidding requirements for professional
services. Director Hutt replied we have been working with Teague, Nall, & Perkins,
and have checked their references. He stated staff did move forward with a “not to
exceed approach”, which could result in some contract savings. Assistant City
Attorney Ben Stool clarified that there is a specific exemption in the bidding
requirements in the Local Government Code for a professional services agreement.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor made a motion to approve Resolution R-16-3988.
Councilmember Short seconded the motion.
Councilmember Coplen asked staff if the purchase of the right-of-way will go
beyond the existing right-of-way. Director Hutt replied when right-of-way is
purchased, the right-of way corners are amended.
Councilmember Coplen asked staff what happens if the property owner does not
like the purchase price. Director Hutt replied the property owner is welcome to
City Council Minutes May 3, 2016
City of Colleyville Page 11
counter the offering price, and then the counter offer would be given to City
Council for their approval.
Councilmember Coplen asked staff about the examples of right-of-way necessary,
such as Riverwalk Drive and Glade Road. Director Hutt replied the proposed
roundabout at Riverwalk Drive and Glade Road does require right-of-way on all
corners.
Councilmember Coplen asked staff about the Bransford Road and Glade Road
intersection, specifically the northwest corner. Director Hutt replied this is a
remnant of the development that would be cleaned up through this process with a
permanent sidewalk easement.
Councilmember Coplen asked staff if most right-of-way is necessary for turning
right or left onto or off of Glade Road. Director Hutt replied not necessarily, it is
usually tied to the original development of the property, such as an unplatted
parcel prior to Glade Road. He stated one of the largest right-of-way acquisitions is
for the intersection at Bluebonnet Drive and Glade Road.
Councilmember Mogged asked staff if the contract is the beginning of a negotiation
process, does it obligate us to use eminent domain. Director Hutt replied no, this
is to get a right-of-way agent on board to start the appraisal processes. He stated
all purchases and expenditures of funds will be provided to City Council for
consideration.
The motion to approve carried by the following vote:
Aye: 6 – Mayor Kelly, Mayor Pro Tem Taylor, Councilmembers Carol
Wollin, Chuck Mogged, Jody Short, and Nancy Coplen
Nay: 1 – Councilmember Chris Putnam
