APPROVAL OF MINUTES Chairperson Gail Manion requested a deletion from the August 1, 2005 minutes referencing a bridge donation for Jackson Road. Also, a typo of the word "the" should have been "they". Gail Manion moved to approve the minutes as amended. AGENDA ITEMS 1. Report of the FY06 Sidewalk Budget Expenditures Chad Bartee, City Engineer gave a presentation / overview of the FY06 expenditures. There were two projects identified from the five year CIP Plan for FY06. The first being John McCain Trail and a sidewalk along Bedford Road from Plantation Drive to Scarlet Court. Both projects were completed and expended the funds for FY06. Gail Manion questioned the sidewalk on Scarlet Court. Chad Bartee said it was part of the Five Year CIP Plan. There was a question as to the actual cost of the projects. Bedford Road was budgeted at $14,000 with total expenditures at $14,800. John McCain Trail was budgeted at $9,000 with total expenditures at $19,718. There was $9,000 identified for the Castleton Trail from FY06 budget, but it was absorbed by the John McCain Trail. Bids on the Castleton Trail came in low, so no funds for FY07 will be needed for this project. There was discussion on the Castleton Trail location and construction, and the time frame of completion. 2. Review of the GCISD Plans for the New Colleyville Elementary School located on Pleasant Run Road There was discussion of the new Colleyville Elementary School's impact on traffic off of Pleasant Run Road. Gail Manion went to the school district and visited with Scott Monahan and reviewed their plans. She stated that the school was told about the trail they need to build and that it was in their plans. However, they were not told about the Colleyville Sidewalk Committee Minutes - October 5, 2006 Agenda Item 3 Consider a proposal to amend the Colleyville Pathways Plan The Colleyville Pathways Plan contains the general mapping of a community- wide trail system, which is coordinated with sidewalks that serve neighborhood subdivisions. The plan is used as a guide for developers who are required to build their appropriate segment of the trail where a proposed development is impacted by a future trail route. In 2005, the City Council approved an update to the original trail plan, which was adopted in 1998. Trail Number 23 is a proposed trail route that was added to the Colleyville Pathways Plan on October 18, 2005, when the City Council approved the update. Trail Number 23 is a proposed north-south trail that would eventually connect L. D. Lockett Road to a trail system in the Remington Park Addition. Attached is a copy of a portion of the Colleyville Pathways Plan indicating the general location of the proposed route for Trail Number 23. At the October 17, 2006, City Council meeting, a developer obtained approval from the City Council of a preliminary plat of a 23 acre tract located on L. D. Lockett Road to develop a 36 lot subdivision for single-family residential homes. The developer has named the subdivision Covington Addition. The property is zoned R20, which requires a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet. The property is located adjacent to and abuts the western property line of the Oaks Addition, which also fronts on L. D. Lockett Road. Trail Number 23 is proposed to extend along the eastern boundary line of the proposed Covington Addition and the developer has shown a trail easement along the .eastern edge of the subdivision to accommodate the proposed trail route. The developer is required to construct the trail at the same time the streets and utility lines are installed. The trail is planned as a ten-foot wide section and will extend approximately 1,007 feet from north to south. The attached copy of the proposed subdivision shows the location of the trail route. The developer has proposed Trail Number 23 not be built as located in the Pathways Plan. At the October 17, 2006 City Council meeting the developer presented his concerns including, but not limited to, privacy and safety relating to the existing and prospective homeowners as well as the location of the proposed terminus point on L.D. Lockett Road. Public comment from residents of the Oaks Addition in attendance at the City Council meeting was in support of the developer's concerns. The developer requested the City Council delete the trail requirement from this subdivision use the existing sidewalk system within the development as an alternative to the use of a trail. The City Council approved the plat with the trail requirement as shown in the Pathways Plan but, directed staff to work with the developer on an alternate proposal and to coordinate any potential proposed amendment to the Colleyville Pathways Plan with the Sidewalk Committee for a recommendation back to the City Council. At the November 6, 2006, Sidewalk Committee meeting, staff will be available to discuss alternative routes for Trail Number 23. access that comes off of Cooks Lane, which is on the Trail Plan, she pointed this out to them and they will try to incorporate it into their plans. She felt that they were not given a lot of impute by the City, and were only looking at their property. The school will take information back to their Architect to see if they can connect to the middle school and the elementary school. Judy Atwood wants to make sure that there is a way for the kids to walk back and forth between the two campuses. Carter Sieber gave a presentation of pedestrian count (school kid's walking) to the committee. He went out to intersection of Hall Johnson and Bogart and counted the kids walking, also talked to the crossing guard. Went in the afternoon and morning, found that more kids walked in the afternoon then in the morning. Also, found that most of the foot traffic was along Bogart, but many kids cut across Hall Johnson to be picked up by parents. Committee member were given handouts that gave a breakdown of Carter's research. Gail Manion reminded the committee that in 2002 they did surveys with the schools asking if sidewalks were provided would you let your child walk to school, 57% said yes in elementary schools and 51 % said yes in the middle schools. Gail Manion read the Sidewalk Ordinance from 1990 concerning where sidewalks are required. Councilman Licata recommended figuring out what's needed and prioritize. To have focused objective to help make things happen. Steve Chutchian spoke about possibly sending out a questionnaire or having another survey professionally done. Discussion continued on what questions might be asked as part of a survey, and how it would be performed. Gail Manion was not sure that another survey is a priority at this time. Councilman Licata feels this can only make the Committee's case stronger. Gail Manion brought to the Committee's attention project # 7, in the Trail Plan, called "The School Yard Path" which connects the two schools. The school district was unaware of the plan. Gail Manion asked to amended the Trail Plan to say the school yard path does not need to go all the way to SH26, but it does need to connect the two schools and we need to inform the school district about this. Steve Chutchian informed the committee that we can only amend the Trail Plan to relocate the school yard path around the school not through the school property. The committee could send a letter recommending the connect through the school property; however the City cannot force the school district to do that. Discussion continued on where and what part of the trail the school is putting in. Also, the City will be starting the Pleasant Run Trail Project which we will pick-up where the school district leaves off. Gail Manion strongly recommends that we have sidewalks on both sides of Bogart. There was more discussion of where crossings and crossing guards will be, and where the radar speed signs will be located. Colleyville Sidewalk Committee Minutes - October 5, 2006 Judy Atwood stated that there needs to be a match between what we are doing and what the school is doing. This needs to be discussed between the two immediately. Councilman Licata suggests that we have a joint planning session between committee members, city staff, and school district. We need to point out what exist and what's missing and what might be able to be adjusted. Possible Sidewalk Priorities: 1. The east side of Waller Lane to the north side of Cooks Lane to the school yard short cut. 2. Pleasant Run Road going north from the school boundary to Tinker Road, east side of trail. 3. Along Tinker Road between Emerald and Pleasant Run Road on the north side. 4. Both side of Beverly and Shelton Road-due to traffic pattern changes. 5. North side of Bogart-check school plans. 6. Colleyville Terrace to Central on the west side, connecting the existing sidewalks. Steve Chutchian suggests that once a priority list is established, staff can attach cost to priorities. 3. Purposed FY07 Sidewalk Budget Steve Chutchian informed committee that $35,000 was approved for the FY07 budget. 4. Discussion of the Long Term Plans for the New Colleyville Senior Center Steve Chutchian informed committee that the Senior Center modifications were complete and the center would be opening soon. The Trail/Bridge Project went out for bids, but all bids far exceed the engineering estimates, therefore all bids were rejected. Staff will redesign the trail without the bridge and this project will be bid at a later date. STAFF REPORTS Committee did not schedule another meeting at this time. CITIZEN/COMMITTEE MEMBER COMMENTS There were no further comments.
