Approved Note: CITY MANAGER'S REPORT DECEMBER 19, 1989 1) Cheek Sparger Public Hearing The City Manager attended the State Highway Department's Public Hearing at the Euless City Hall on December 14, 1989. Publ ic comment was recei ved at that meeti ng from vari ous parti es. Generally speaki ng the cities of Euless and Colleyville (as expressed by your City Manager) were in support of the project as proposed by the State Highway Department. CONET was also in support of the project. Neighboring residents along Bedford and Colleyville generally expressed disagreement with the proposed design. That design included a four-lane curb and cutter street with one auxilliary lane and median, a 120 foot right-of-way, 4.1 mile length with a project cost of $7 /mi 11 ion. Thi s is to be funded by the PASS program wherei n the city and the state share in right-of-way acquisition and utility relocation as needed. Present vehicle per day volume was reported as 4,000 and is projected to reach 18,000 in the next twenty years. This design is proposed to be adequate to handle that facility accordi ng to John Terry, State Hi ghway Department Project Engi neer. On behalf of the City of Colleyville, the City Manager entered public comment which stated that the City was in support of this project as Cheek Sparger has been on the City's Master Thoroughfare Plan for quite some time with a 120 foot right-of-way. Thi s represents an opportun i ty for the taxpayers of Co 11 eyvi 11 e to significantly lower the cost to the citizens. There were concerns that the area would become commercial. The City Manager communicated to Colleyville residents that were in attendance that he expects the City Council to honor the current land use plan to maintain the residential character of the property bordering Cheek Sparger as presently designated in the respective zoning districts and the land use map. Should this not be the Council's position, the City Manager would appreciate instructions otherwise. The City Manager expects to receive a petition request from Colleyville citizens that were in attendance to ask the City to request that the State not do thi s project. A right-of-way map will be available at the meeting for Council IS review. See the attached copy of the proposed cross section. 2) City Engineer Please be advised that City Engineer, t.1ike Jones, will report for work on Monday, December 18, 1989 and will be in attendance at the December 19th Council meeting. We look forward to having Mike contribute in the role of engineering and particularly to assist with FY 89/90 Capital Improvement Projects which are immediately on the horizon. 3) Developer Compliance The City Council will recall that we have had problems with the downstream drainage leaving Fox Meadows, particularly a detention pond on property currently owned by Gary Cantrell, owner of the original Fox Meadows. We have been trying to resolve that issue to alleviate the drainage concerns impacting Fox Meadows. This issue is taking entirely too long because of the efforts of Gary to maintain the effecti veness of hi s pond, even though such is not consi stent with the original design and drain criteria indicated. Gary has sought an alternate desi gn but such was opposed by the downstream property owner, Marie Powell. Additionally, Brook Meadows Lake, which was granted by a floodplain development permit, was not built as permitted. For example, in parti cul ar the spi 11 ways are improperly located. The City Manager by letter dated September 12, 1989 requested that compliance be achieved as permitted as soon as possible. As of December 15, 1989 substantial progress is now underway for the Brook Meadows Lake. However, the Fox Meadows issue has not been sol ved. See attached memo from Lloyd Wood dated December 18, 1989. Should we fail to reach the immediate resolution of these issues, the City Manager proposes that the Council consi der a pol icy prohi biti ng additi ona 1 deve 1 opment approval for developers and/or engi neers when conditi ons of noncompliance of the Cityls ordinances, policies, or requests are outstanding. The City Manager will not ask that the Council consi der thi s pol icy at thi s time but woul d appreci ate your feedback if you support such a policy in dealing with unsolved issues with deve 1 opers. The City Manager does not know if techn i ca 11 y such a policy is legal, but I am convinced that such is definitely effective for getting the response needed to assist the City in addressing the needs of the surrounding property owners. Your input would be greatly appreciated by the City Manager. 4) Council Newsletter Please be advised that the newsletter was placed in Thursdayls mail, December 14, 1989 and should be arriving for Colleyville residents on Friday, December 15th or Saturday, December 16th. 5) Employee Grievances Pl ease see attached copy of the Ci ty r~anager I s memo to the employees regarding employee grievances. The City Council is requested to read the City Manager I s memo and if the Council has concerns with this memo please advise the City Manager accordingly as such was written within the City Manager's interpretation of the authority granted the office of the City Manager as identified in the Colleyville City Charter. 6) Response to Subdivision Review Delay and Sprinkler System Issues Please find attached the City Manager's response to Mayor ProTem Lynch regarding his concerns over the delay in review of construction plans for developments within the City. The City Manager requests that the Council revi ew that documentati on and provi de feedback as you feel appropriate. 7) County Road Assistance Attached please find a copy of the City Managerls letter to Commissioner Bob Hampton regarding the request of the roads that we are asking county participation for in the upcoming fiscal year. 8) Mill Creek Development Request For Council 's information, please find attached a copy of correspondence previously submitted to the City Manager regarding the request of Herman Smith and Co., to improve part of the Cityl s master plan water projects adjoining Glade Road. At this point in time, the City Manager is not prepared to respond to the developerls request but would generally indicate that we feel that the other major priorities facing the City will consume available funding before this issue is addressed. This will be analyzed more before we will indicate so conclusively. 9) Tarrant Appraisal District Please find attached correspondence from the Tarrant Appraisal District solicitng additional names to serve on the Appraisal Review Board. Should the Council have any suggestions, please so indicate so that a formal recommendation can be taken to the Tarrant Appraisal District for their consideration. 10) Engineering Authorization FY 90 Street and Drainage CIP Attached please find a copy of engineering authorization executed by the City Manager with respect to Council IS direction at the previous meeting regarding these issues. The Council is requested to review these and if such is not as desired by the Council, please indicate accordingly. 11) Miscellaneous Issues: TU Rate Case Update Request for Documents by the Feitel IS 12) The Assistant City Manager comments regarding the following issues: City Garbage Services Rate Adjustment Code Enforcement Activities Christmas Tree Recycling Project Bogart Road Re-alignment Design Study FAA Radio Tower Facility PUBLIC WORKS IN PROGRESS A) Bransford Road Sewer Project We have been approached by a citizen, Mrs. Payne, who has paid an original sewer tie-on fee back in the 1970s for extension of the cityls sewer. Since this project is going to cost more than $5,000 it will have to be publicly bid. The City administration has requested that the City Engineer prepare contract documents to advertise for this project. Attached please find a copy of the location of this project on Bransford Road. B) Telephone Survey According to the Director of Public Works memo of December 1, 1989, a telephone survey was completed regarding maintenance bonds. Please be advised that a recommendation is included therein asking the Council to extend the time of the maintenance bonds to and raising the percentage. We would appreciate input from the Council regarding the issue if you desire to pursue this further. C) Bridge and Headwall Cleaning We have begun cl eani ng the weeds, di rt and debri s from around the bridges with a high pressure water sewer cleaner.(an R-90 Objective) D) Springhollow Drainage The drainage ditches have been cleaned out between the two houses on Springhollow.
