divisions. In addition all coaches will be required to attend a mandatory
coaches clinic this year where safety, coaching procedures and the
psychology of working with children will be addressed.
Mike Gonzalez, Mike Billings and Mike Shelton will meet with David Fain -
to further discuss the issues.
2. MEETING WITH THE GIRLS SOFTBALL ASSOCIATION
The Park Board met with the Girls Softball Association to address the
concerns expressed by parents in letters to the Park Board presented at
the November meeting. The Park Board stated several questions had been
raised and they wanted to get a better understanding of the situation.
They feel the lack of information available to Association members is
one of the biggest problems. Association members stated they cannot get
parents to participate, they don't take part and they don't want to be
bothered. The Park Board encouraged the Softball Association to allow
more people to be involved in the Board, strive for better publicity of
meetings, and to draw from their critics for support. The Park Board
stressed the goal of the Board is to encourage broad based participation
in quality programs. They encouraged softball to report back with plans
and a preliminary budget for the coming year.
3. DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF DEVELOPING THE OVERLAND TRAIL SITE AS
A PARK AND FUNDING THE PROJECT THROUGH THE VOLUNTARY PARK FUND.
Marilyn Baker was present to present the preliminary plans for the
improvements to the Western Trail water tower site. She stated there
are approximately 100 homes in the addition and they need a community
area. Their priority is to make the area more attractive. The Board
is in favor of the project, however, they need to become more comfortable
with the site. They encouraged Mrs. Baker to gain a commitment from the
neighborhood for financial assistance and help in bringing the plans
together. The Board will make site visits and reconvene at the next Park
Board meeting.
TABLED, NO ACTION TAKEN
4. PUD-R OPEN SPACE FOR PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD REVIEW.
Z-91-931 and Z-91-932
The Park Board recommends that an easement be granted for ingress and
egress into the open space site. The reason for this recommendation is
to create possible linkage park along the railroad track and to other
.linear parks in the City, such as Big Bear Creek. In providing more
~~ information, the Park Board requests a more accurate map, more information
on access, and that a representative from Chandler-Cantrell attend the
next meeting.

The Colleyville City Council
Post Office Box# 185
Colieyville, Texas 76034
Dear Council Members:
I respectfully request that the City of Colieyviile re-evaluate the policy to
collect Non-resident Fees from Youth Recreational Activities.
As a team parent for a Colleyville soccer team for the past four years, I
feel your policy should be revised. Forty percent of our team are non-residents
of Colleyv~ile, but live in the Grapevine/Colleyviile Independent School Distrcfi.
I'm sure our team reflects the average percentage of non-residents for all
teams and in all sports.
Since the Colleyville Parks and Recreation Department promotes
recreational sports through the Grapevine/Colieyville school district, surely it is
not the intention of the city to discourage non-residents from participating in
Colleyville recreations. It stands to reason that the children wish to participate
in sport activities with their peers whom they associate with on a daily basis.
The policy as it now stands discourages that interaction.
These implemented fees could amount to as much as S50 - S60 per
family each year when many of these non-resident children participate in
more than one sport.
\ Please consider revising this policy to exclude Grapevine/Colleyville
Independent School District children or perhaps consider a flat annual fee per
family for al! participants in Coileyville recreational sports including Colleyviile
residents.
i also request that information be provided through the various sport
associations as to how these funds wits be allocated.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
Sincerey,
Vicki L. Carroll

Dear Ms. Carroll:
~,f" I~6 -
~ ~ ' r~~~
I recently received my copy of your note to the Colleyville City
Council regarding non-resident fees.
It certainly is a sensitive issue since it is not designed to
discourage youth participation. Rather, its intent is to provide
a minor family contribution from those who choose to partake in
these Colleyville programs and don't pay taxes in Colleyville.
I'm sure you're aware that the school taxes we all pay don't in any
way get allocated to the City of Colleyville. For the last three
years, the City of Colleyville has maintained our field sites at no
expense to the association. Likewise, Colleyville has expanded
those sites and will develop others as a result of a Bond election
which passed in 1991. The improvements will be paid for by
Colleyville residents through city taxes. The fees which will be
collected from non-residents will go to the parks department as a
minor deferral of the expenses incurred for maintenance. Currently
our athletic associations are made up of 28-30% non-residents;l
some of whom contribute time and efforts in the athletic
association of colleyville for the enhancement of all.
As a member of the Colleyville Park Board and the Colleyville
Soccer Association, I, too, think we need to consider some revision
to the fee structure as it regards non-residents wha contribute to
the opportunity of all our children to play. I'll recommend to the
Park Board we take these non-residents into consideration.
Ms. Vicki Carroll
February 25, 1992

In other cases, I hope you'll agree that a contribution from non-
Colleyville taxpayers is not out of the question to consider.
In any event, I thank you for taking the time to express your views
and heighten our awareness to this issue.
Sincerely,
awes M. Hoff

T0: MAYOR AND CITY OUNCIL
FROM: BOB STRIPLING CITY MANAGER
DATE: FEBRUARY 17, 1992
SUBJECT: MOBIL LAND DEVELOPMENT PUD-R
I met with representatives of Mobil Land Development Corporation on
February 11th and they presented a preliminary layout for a golf
course and residential development to be built in northeast Colley-
ville and the southeastern portion of Southlake. I had a follow up
meeting with Susan Evans of Mobil and Curtis Hawke, Southlake City
Manager, on February 13th. The Colleyville and Southlake staffs
will meet again on February 21st.
Mobil has already submitted their PUD-R to Southlake. Based on the
preliminary plan showed to us (no copies were left for examina-
tion), the 176 acre portion of the tract in Colleyville proposes
217 building lots (an average density of 1.23 dwelling units per
acre) and five holes of the golf course. The residential portion
is contained on 90 acres and the golf course on 87 acres. one of
the two residential areas completely surrounds the seven lot
Maranatha Court subdivision off John McKain with lots averaging
.16,000 square feet and a minimum lot size of 13,000 square feet.
The second residential cluster will be located on the north side of
Big Bear Creek between the golf course and the cement plant. This
cluster contains patio homes on 6000 square foot lots. It is my
-understanding that average lot sizes of 10,000 square feet are
proposed for parts of the development in Southlake.
The golf course club house is located entirely in Southlake and I
assume all the golf course revenue will accrue to Southlake. Mobil
intends the course to be a "high fee public course" initially with
the right to convert to entirely private use within the next five
to ten years. They intend to irrigate the golf course from wells.
They hope to open the course for play in June 1993. The proposed
approval schedule is as follows:

different Councils would be voting on the last two readings. They
cannot delay because of the need to open the course in June 1993.
They have the same schedule issues we have with the soccer fields -
miss a month/miss a year. I emphasized the major issue involved in
smaller lots even though the location means you could not see the
lots or access them from anywhere in Coileyville. Mobil would
prefer not to present the PUD-R until several years from now when
they anticipate the lots will actually be developed, but they need
the open space credit from the golf course. They would like us to
consider changing the six month reapplication requirement to renew
the PUD-R.
An option to placing the small lot issue before the Colleyville
City Council is to exchange the residential cluster in Colleyville
north of Big Bear Creek for similar acreage (about 17 acres) in
Southlake, north of Biq Bear and to the west of the residential,
that includes several holes of the golf course. This would require
a change in corporate limits. We would lose the higher tax revenue
from the residential. Mobil's development schedule shows those
units being developed in six to seven years.
" The staff recommends that the Council and the Parks Board attend
the March 9th work session of the Planning and Zoning Commission
for a ~jonf p=esentation from Mobil of the PUD-R. Hopefully the
three bodies can share reactions and reach an initial understanding
on key issues. For instance, Mobil is not proposing a public
pedestrian trail along Big Bear that has been established in
concept for both Colleyville and Southlake to provide a connection
to the proposed trail east of SH 26 in Grapevine.
We. need to approach this plan with special care. The golf course
. can be a very attractive piece of our community marketing effort.
Whether we use corporate limit adjustments or an interlocal
~:. agreement for fire, police and utilities, we must work with
Southlake to insure service to that part of the residential
development now in Colleyville north of Big Bear.
I will keep you informed of progress.

Dear Mr. Fain:
Sharon Curry is a volunteer with Circle T Girl Scout Council
this year. She is serving as a Troop Leader and Service Team
Program Specialist.
Participating in a Girl Scout troop gives a girl an
opportunity to grow to her full potential. She has many
occasions to practice making decisions on the basis of sound
values. Sharon has invested quality time helping these
things come true for her troop.
Girls would not have these opportunities to grow in Girl
Scouting if adults did not contribute time and energy in
recruiting leaders, organizing troops, supporting and
\ training the leaders. Sharon has also given many hours
1 making Girl Scouting possible for others in her community.
We wanted you to know that one of your employees is making a
contribution to the community in this way. We know you will
be pleased with this spirit of community involvement.
Sincerely,
~~2;~~~

It is requested that some kind of written communication

the PUD's are and any specific concerns that may be addre
by the Park Board.
Please feel free to contact me if you have questions regaz
