Dear Board Members: I wanted to ask you for your time to let
you know my concerns about the new proposed park on Overland
Trail at the water reservoir tank. It has been stated by
Mr. Lloyd Wood (of the Public Works Department) that a
new PARK will be built at this site to "clean up this
property's appearance". This idea was thought of by some of
the neighbors that live in this area, mainly a Mrs. Baker,
when I had talked with her about 2 months ago after being
left a piece of paper on my door, that stated what was going
to happen I called her to ask what all was planned to be done
at this property. she assured me that everyone would be
informed of any and all decisions concerning this matter.
It appears that she had gone around the
neighborhood 2 months ago, to have people sign a petition to
ask the park board to consider this matter, I was never told
of a petition, when I noticed the new fence being moved back
yesterday I called Mr. Wood and ask what was going on at this
property, he said that he was under the assumption that
everyone in the neighborhood had seen this supposed petition
and was in favor of the improvements when I ask Mrs.
Baker about this petition yesterday and asked her why we had
not seen this petition she said and I quote I was in the
neighborhood for 10 hours and you were not at home and it
APPENDI% I
wasn't my fault that you were not home".
I have a hard time believing that someone
can go thru a neighborhood and get some of the residents to
sign a petition and not notify the rest of us who were out
at that time, and it is our fault for not being home to be
asked what was to be done with this property The real sad
thing is the City Of Colleyville Parks Dept. lets this type
of railroad petitioning to occur without the full knowledge
of THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY !!!!.
Getting back to the problem, about a month
ago there was another incident at the water tank, Mr. Lawry
(who is our neighbor on the south side of our property}
noticed teenagers there drinking then climbing on top of the
water tank yelling and screaming at the top of their lungs
for about 15 minutes,(at around 1:30 am). He called the
Colleyville police and when they arrived to Mr. Lawry and
our amazement, the police did nothing as before, other than
to say that they must leave because there were complaint's
of noise. We thought that seeing as though that they
appeared to be under age and drinking alcohol, that they
should have taken them to jail, or something, but I guess
that's not what happens around here.
My fiance and I have only lived here for 2
years and have noticed that this problem with teenagers has
' occurred 3 times !!!!, with the police doing the same IF
they arrive at the water tank in an hour.
About a month ago Mr. Gawry asked what
we thought of the proposed action. I said that we have had
too many problems with the water tank property now, and what
is going to be different when they change the fence line,add
plants etc ? The only thing that I thought should be done
was to put in a new gate section that had been damaged by one
of Colleyville's water department work crews (this is how the
teenagers are getting into the property now), and put some
plants to make it look better, and not to waste taxpayers
money to putting in a gazebo push back the fencing toward the
water tank, etc, as suggested by Mrs. Baker.
I feel that this park will cause an
increase in traffic. I am against anything other than to
replace the damaged gate section and to possibly put in some
plants.
If you do decide to go ahead to do as
Mrs. Baker wishes I'm making the following requests:
1. Have the park be lighted all throughout the night every
night,
2. Install no parking signs on both sides of Overland Trail
by this park for park users,
3. Have the police enforce the no parking signs,
4. Ask the Colleyville police for enforcement of liquor laws,
5. Put up a 30 MPH speed limit sign that is visible from both
directions installed in front of the park. We have problems
with people doing at least 40 -45 MPH everyday, I think that
this should be done so that anyone who is walking to
this new park won't have to dodge speeding cars !!!!
In closing I regret that I cannot attend
this meeting. I had to go away on family business and have
non-refundable airplane tickets. If I could have, I would be
here stating my case. I hope that you will consider what I
have proposed, seeing as though our backyard is directly east
across the street from the water tank property and we would
be one of the most greatly affected from your decision.
Sincerly

P.S. I have just received information that there is atleast
one person that has signed this supposed petition that is
neither a legal registered voter, nor a Colleyville land
owner, I wonder how many others have signed this petition
that are not legal either. I am outraged that things like
illegal voters can make a decision to put in a park.
I suggest that you go over this petition
concerning the signatures, It would be in your best interest
to do this because if you don't there could be some serious
i
repercussions.

Analysts estimate this property now accounts for
about two-thuds of many Kcal district tax bases. The
state would tax the business property, then return the
money to schools statewide, using a dtstnbution tor•
mule designed to equalize funding between rich and
poor school districts.
The proposed business property tax me would be
;1.10 plus 7 cents for debt service, or ;1.27 per ;100
valuation. Richards said there would be no net reve-
nue increase, but that revenue woukt be more egttita•

Besides restructuring the state and local tax sys-
tem, Richard's plan would create a n billion program
to encourage innovative local programs and shift rttil-
lions of dollars into teacheCs salaries from
other funds.
The business property tax would require a
constitutional amendment, meautng two-

the amendment.
Richattis said that, even under sheet-case
scenario, voters will not have tithe to ratify
the constitutional cch1~aanng~es until the Nov. 3
general election, sevetaf months after the be-
ginning othee new school year.

STAFF WRiTEFI
The Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department is considering cutt-ng
back on grants to communities for
park projects, department officials
said.
The department has adminis-
tered the Local Park Fund since
1979. About 40 Texas communi-
ties annually receive grants from
the fund to build or renovate
parks. Most area communities
have benefited from the grant pro-
gram, including Corpus Christi.
Rockport, Sinton, Alice and Po~t-
land.
The department is suffering f--
nancially and the proposed grant
cutbacks could help save money,
department officials said. Al-
though adecision has not been
made on the funding, area com-
munity leaders are concerned
about the possibility that grants
might be decreased.
"We want the park fund left in-
tact," said Wayne Pruitt, chair-
man of the San Patricio County
Navigation District. "Small com-
munities don't have the (ability)
to raise the funds as they do in the
cities."
The navigation district received
a 5500,000 grant about two years
ago to build a park on Ransom
Dnve in Aransas Pass. The com-
munity struggled to raix the other
5500,000 needed for the S I mil-
lion project, which is expected to
be completed by the end of the
year, Pruitt said.
A Park Advisory Board was cre-
ated last week to study the distri-
bution of funds, said Lisa Kessler,
program coordinator for the Texas
Parks and Wildlife Department in
Austin. The advisory board, com-
posed of residents from around
the state, is to make a recommen-
dation to the Parks and Wildlife
Department on how to administer
funds more effectively.
"At this time, nobody can say
what that rtxommendation can
be," Kesler said. "They may say,
'Keep doing what you're doing.' "
The department is hoping the
ra~mmendations will be avail-
abk before the next grant cycle be-
gins in August, Kessler said. Resi-
denu txtt voice their opinions
April 28 at a public hearing in
Brownsville by the Houx Com-
mittee on Environmental Affairs,
she said.
The park fund is supported by a
statewide I ant cigarette sales tax.
The maximum amount a commu-
nity can receive from the depart-
ment for each grant is SS00,000,
and the community must match
the granted amount.
Every Year, about S8 million, or
70 percent, of the cigarette tax
money goes to focal communities
to build parks. The other 30 per-
cent goes to the department to im-
prove and build state parks,
Kessler said.
Like many businesses and gov-
ernment offices, the department
has been hit Dy difficult economic
times and every option is being
considered to improve the finan-
cial situation, Kessler said.
SPECIAL SESSION NOW IN DOUBT
Although Governor Richards has unveiled her public school funding proposal (see related
news articles in this issue), a summer special session which seemed all but certain last
month is now in doubt.
Legislative leaders contend that a special session would be useless because lawmakers
wouldn't be able to reach a consensus on school-funding legislation. Even the Governor
acknowledges that a special session during a political campaign season may not be
advisable.
Legislative action is needed because earlier this year the Texas Supreme Court found the
current school-funding system to be unconstitutional. The court gave the legislature until
June 1, 1993 to devise a new plan.
LOCAL PARKS FUND IS IN .DANGER -- AGAIN
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) is studying the possibility of reducing
grants to cities for park projects. The grants come from the Local Parks, Recreation and
Open Space Fund which is supported by a one-cent cigarette tax. Over the years, the fund
was "dedicated;" that is, it was by law committed to local parks projects. Last year, the
legislature "undedicated" the fund, along with virtually every other previously dedicated
fund.
Now the TPWD is considering the option of using for other purposes the funds which have
traditionally been spent on local parks (see the related news article in this issue). Any city
official who wishes to comment on this issue could contact any or all of the following
persons:

Many state puke are run-down
orr,, not fully constructed because
tlft department cannot afford the
projects, Kesler said. Some otthe
Loal Park Fund could be used for
tta~e project:. the said.
Kleberg County has received
about S 1 million in grant money
from the Local Park Fund. said
Kleberg County Judge W.C.
McDaniel. Without the funds,
park improvements could not
have been made, he said.
McDaniel said that without the
grant money, county parks proba-
bly would deteriorate .because
communities could not afford to
maintain them.
This year, officials had to make
cuts in the Kleberg County budget
and the parks suffered the most,
McDaniel said.
"1 think that's wrong, because if
you get out as a family, it keeps
the kids off the stmt and out of
trouble," McDaniel said.

ENGINEERING REPORT CtTL o6 COLI.$1NtL~
FOR
5.946 ACRE TRACT LOCATED IN
COLLEYVILLE, TEXAS
STUDY AREA
The site is a 5.946 acre tract located in Colleyville,
Tarrant County, Te:cas. This vacant tract, is bounded by Colley-
ville Boulevard (State Highway No. 26) to the east; Little Bear
Creek, which borders the entire northern property line; an
undeveloped piece of property to the west; and Braum's Ice Cream
and Dairy Store to the south.
There is a 3U-foot wide ingress/egress and utility easement
extending 150 feet into .the tract from Colleyville Boulevard. In
addition, a 10-foot green space and a 6-foot utility easement are
located along the 561 feet of frontage adjacent to Colleyville
Boulevard. There is s common road-use easement located on the
west side of Braum's which is shared between the two properties.
• The tract is currently zoned CC, Community Commercial. The
general character of this district emprises a broad range of
retail and service uses, entertainment uses, community facilities
and gbneral office uses. This zoning requires a minimum lot size
of 20,000 square feet; a minimum of 4U feet front lot setback; a
maximum building height of t~vo stories or 35 feet; and a maximum
lot coverage of 6U percent.
UTILITIES
Utilities for the site are located along the eastern and
southern portions of the tract. A City of Colleyville 12-inch
water main runs along the western side of Colleyville Boulevard
and provides water service to Braum's and businesses to the south
of the site. Existing overhead power lines are located along the
south and east sides of the property. Texas Utilities provides
electrical service to this area. Sanitary sewer can be obtained
by tapping into the City of Colleyville 6-inch sanitary line
located under Stewart Street. The 6-inch line flocvs to the west
where it connects with a 12-inch line which flows north and
intercepts a Trinity River Authority 36-inch sanitary sewer line.
Telephone service is provided by Southwestern Bell Telephone and
an underground line is located along the west side of Colleyville
Boulevard right-of-way.
EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS
The property is irregular in shape, with approximately 270
feet to 500 feet in the north-south direction and 450 feet to 580
feet in the east-west direction. The topography is sloping
toward the north to Little Bear Creek. The ground elevation
varies from 593.8 located in the southeast portion of the
property to 577.0 along Little Sear Creek. The area is presently
wooded along Little Bear Creek; heavily weeded in the low lying
areas'; and dense grass along two-thirds of the southeast frontage
of the property.
The site is subjected to extensive flooding during the 100-
year storm. Due to the low lying areas to the north and to the
west portioas of the property, a 100-year storm will cover
approximately 4.52 acres of the site. (See Figure 1. ).
According to FEMA's Flood Insurance Study for the Citl of Colley-
ville, the 100-year floodFlain elevation is approximately 592.5.
In addition, the northern portion of the site lies within Little
Bear Creek's Floodway Limits. The area of land within the flood-
way is approximately 2.15 acres of the total tract of 5.946
acres.
PROPOSED RECLAMATION
Currently, there is 1.43 acres of land above the 100-year
floodplain line. In order to reclaim additional useable acreage
of the site, it will be necessary to fill the area between the
existing 100-year floodplain line and the Floodway Limit Line.
The area between these two lines is called the Floodway Fringe.
Federal regulations prohibit filling beyond the Floodway Limit
Line. Approximately 7,500 cubic yards of fill could possibly be
obtained by excavating of a damless lake within the floodway.
Soil borings by a geotechnical engineer would be required to
substantiate the suitability of this material. The resultant
lake could be approximately 420 feet in length, an average 86
feet in width and a depth of 7 feet (See Figure 2). Any fill not
available from the lake excavation would be required to be
trucked-in. Our office has reviewed different alternatives
,_ ,
for reclaiming portions of this tract of land and determined
three plans and costs in the reclamation.
1. Reclamation of the franta4e along Colleyville Boulevard.
This portion of property, adjacent to Collevville Boulevard, is
the most visible and marketable as it is the most accessible.
Reclamation would include that portion of land 360 feet along
Colleyville Boulevard and 210 feet deep, parallel along the
backside of the common road-use easement. (See Figure 3.) as
„ ~ , , ., ,.
mentioned earlier in this report, the 100-year Floodplain eleva-
tion is approximately 592.50. The City of Colleyville requires
the minimum finished floor elevation above the l0U-year flood-
plain by two feet. Therefore, the required in place fill for
this area of reclamation would be 2,500 cubic yards. This would
involve filling from the Floodway line, on the north portion of
the site, with a 3:1 (horizontal:vertical) slope up to an eleva-
tion of 593.5 along the top of the bank and a slope of 1 percent
for 50 feet to a finished fill grade of 594.0. Fill would be
required along the frontage of the property reducing the flood
fringe along the frontage and providing better landscaping in
phis area. In addition, the fill that was placed in the floodway
without floodplain development permit would be removed and used
in the filling of the 3:1 bank on the north side. The advantage
of this scenario is that there is enough on-site fill to
accomplish the reclamation of land along Colleyville Boulevard.
Reclamation of the land along the frontage of Colleyville Boule-
vard as described above would be 1.28 acres and a total of 1.62
acres above the 100-year floodplain line.
,'Z. Reclamation along Stewart Street (southwestern portion
of tract). Reclaiming this portion of the tract would require
approximately 9,500 cubic yards of in-place fill. Because this
portion of the property lies behind the existing Braums' store,
it would not appear to be cost effective to relcaim this area
without concurrent extension of Stewart Street to the western
property line. The advantage is the property to the west is
currently being developed for single-family residents. This wi_~
open Stewart Street as a major collector strset extendinc from
Precinct Line Road to State Highway No. 26 and would be bene-
ficial to commercial development. Construction of this 170
linear feet of street would require dedication of approximately
4,600 square feet (0.105 acres) of right-of-way to the City of
Colleyville. (See Figure 4.)
The City of Colleyville Master Water Plan proposes an 8-inch
water main extension from the intersection of Stewart Street and
Colleyville Boulevard to the west through the 5.946 acre tract
and into the adjacent property to the west. This would be
constructed as part of the Stewart Street extension. The
southwestern portion of the tract would have 200 feet along the
future frontage of Stewart Street and a lot depth of approxi-
mately 280 feet. A 3:1 slope embankment would be built along the
west and north sides of the southern portion to an elevation of
593.50 and a finish fill grade of 594.0. Reclamation of the
southwestern portion would be approximately 1.11 acres and a
total of 1.34 acres above the 100-year floodplain.
3. Reclamation of tract outside of floodway. This alter-
nate would utilize the maximum area obtained in filling the flood
fringe. Reclamation of this area would total 3.15 acres above
the 100-year floodplain. (See Figure 5.) This would require
approximately 17.,000 cubic yards of fill in place. A 3:1 slope
embankment would be constructed along the western side and along
the Floodway line up to an elevation of 593.50 and the remaining
i fill up to an elevation of 594.0. Additionally, the continuation
of Stewart Street and required utilities would be imolement~d in
this plan of action.
