AGEN DA ITEMS 1. Consider a proposal to amend the Colleyville Pathways Plan Dal Anderson, Assistant City Manager gave an introduction / overview of the proposal to amend the Colleyville Pathways Plan. The proposed amendment is to Trail Number 23 of the Colleyville Pathways Plan. The original plan is to extend Trail Number 23, a 10- foot trail, along the eastern boundary line of a pending development called Covington Addition. City Council has asked for the cooperation of the Developer, City Staff and the Sidewalk Committee to consider the potential of altering the plan to move the trail someplace else. During the zoning and platting process, issues arose to the alignment of the trail by the developers of Covington and Oaks Subdivision, along with citizens living in this area. Issues included the terminus point of the trail as it exist today, the potential concern that the traffic along LD Lockett Road may create risk for those exiting the trail at this point. Also the trail being laid between two fence lines will create an undesirable affect (tunneling). Other issues were as to the time frame of when this trail would connect to the North and if or when it would make its way to LD Lockett Road. The Developers of Covington suggested that instead of the original trail... we use the existing sidewalk system within the development as an alternate trail. Barry LeBaron, Director of Community Development spoke on the different options. If an amendment was made we would have the opportunity to create a II Safe School Route" to the new elementary school. Will Walton, Developer for the Covington Addition spoke about how to incorporate Trail Number 23 within the Covington Addition. He spoke on the privacy/security issues with Colleyville Sidewalk Committee Minutes - November 6, 2006 trails that run immediately behind houses. Also spoke concerning connectivity issues and what could be done to accomplish immediate connectivity. He spoke of running the trail through the side yards within the subdivision which would have open space and ponds with some 8-foot and some 6-foot trails without the loss of trees. This will also put connectivity back to the Liberty Elementary School. He feels this plan will resolve a lot of issues and problems and will bring about immediate connectivity, provide access to a trail plan that does not exist today and resolve privacy/safety issues. Dal Anderson redirected the Committee to what our assignment was for this meeting. We have been asked by City Council to consider a specific section of the Trail Plan, Trail Number 23, and if it should remain where it is on the current plan. City Staff would stipulate that it would be difficult and probably undetermined exactly when 10-foot connectivity could be obtained. It would most likely happen sooner then later if moved. Barry LeBaron answered a variety of questions from Committee members concerning the trail requirements of the surrounding developments and the school plans. Discussion of the North-South connectivity continued with the Committee concluding that this section of trail is not a major link, but a connecting link. Committee Members agreed that this is a good compromise, and Judy Atwood made a motion to make a recommendation to Council to amendment the Colleyville Pathways Plan - Trail Number 23, and Deena Dendy seconded it. 2. Update of the Sidewalk Research by Gail Minion Gail Manion thanked Matt McCombs for being the new City Liaison Person for the Sidewalk Committee. Gail compiled a list of "Sidewalk Priorities and Trail Plan Changes" which will be needed due to the New Colleyville Elementary School; handouts were given to everyone in attendance. There was a short discussion and it was determined that cost estimates were needed to continue with the sidewalk portion of the list. Steve Chutchian, Public Works Director will have Staff work on those estimates within the next two week. The next item was Trail Plans changes: Project Number 6 Tuscany Drive is no longer needed. Additional sidewalks will be needed for safe school access. Trail Number 14 is a high priority with some of the trail being constructed along with other projects, Trail Number 7 needs to be moved to the North side of Bogart and doesn't need to go all the way to SH26, Trail Number 34 existing portion will stay as a sidewalk with the extension being a trail. There will be a trail on the North and South side of Bogart. Trail Number 35 needs to be constructed as a sidewalk because it will be connecting with a sidewalk on both ends. The last item is a change to policy on page 35 of the Pathway and Trail Plan. The Committee would like to see less variances of sidewalk installation at the time a home is constructed. They would like to see all sidewalks installed at the time of home construction, instead of escrowing monies for sidewalks to be installed at a later date. This would be a verbiage change to the Colleyville Pathways Plan, and make exceptions to this requirement the responsibility of the Development Review Committee (DRC). Chairperson, Gail Manion and City Liaison, Matt McCombs will meet with City Council in Pre-Council at the November 14, 2006 meeting to get Council direction for the structure Colleyville Sidewalk Committee Minutes - November 6, 2006 of the Committee concerning composition, tenure, and frequency of meetings. Barry LeBaron will submit the amendment to Trail Number 23 at the December 5, 2006 Council Meeting. Matt will coordinate the revisions to the Colleyville Pathways Plan and will try to present it to Council by the December 19, 2006 meeting. STAFF REPORTS Committee did not schedule another meeting at this time. CITIZEN/COMMITTEE MEMBER COMMENTS There were no further comments.
