The addition reads: However, the trail along the east side of Pleasant Run Road from Bogart Drive to the school property will not be complete before school opens. Also, a spelling correction was made. Kathy Moore gave a brief summary of the City's policy on minutes and what is required to be documented. AGENDA ITEMS 1. Update on the 2007 Projects Jeremy Hutt, gave an update for the upcoming 2007 Sidewalk Improvements. The timeline is as follows: Construction documents to be complete by June 22, 2007 and the project will be advertised on June 24 and July 1, 2007. Bids will be opened on July 10 with the award by Council scheduled for July 17. Construction is set to begin on August 1 and be completed by September 29. 2. Approval of Sidewalk Escrow Recommendations Matt McCombs reported on his meeting with staff concerning the Sidewalk Escrow Recommendations. Staff met on May 17' 2007 to discuss possible solutions to the concerns of the Committee regarding the building or escrowing of sidewalks. There were two primary options devised by the review team of: Building Inspection, Community Development, Engineering and the Street Department. Option 1: The Colleyville Trails and Sidewalks Committee will make a formal recommendation to Council requesting that sidewalks be built instead of escrowed. Once Council is apprised of the recommendation, direction can be passed to the City Manager and then to staff to alter the current practice of escrowing sidewalk fees, thus Colleyville Trails and Sidewalks Committee Minutes -June 12, 2007 requiring sidewalks to be built unless otherwise directed by Council. This method would be in compliance with the current language of the Land Development Code and would require no modification to the existing document. Option 2: Requires modifications to the Land Development Code with staff recommendations to add a separate "optional sidewalk escrov~' section under 9.19 of the code. This would create a standalone section for the escrow of sidewalks. The current process is contained within a section that pertains to all public improvements. There was discussion by the Committee on both options with the Committee voting to accept Option 1 over Option 2. Jack Olsen made a motion to accept Option 1 to the Recommendations for Sidewalk Construction; David Klenzendorf seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous. 3. Discussion of Projects around Colleyville Middle School and Colleyville Elementary School City staff will be meeting next week with the Police Department and the School District to determine the crosswalk locations for the new Colleyville Elementary School. Committee discussed some of the changes they deem necessary to the sidewalk priority ranking due to the relocation of Colleyville Elementary School. Councilman .Licata suggested that the Committee should send a memorandum to City Council to inform them that they had met and have reviewed sidewalk priorities, and that the Committee plans to update the five-year plan to reflect the new priorities. The Committee should also ask the Council to immediately focus on the segment of sidewalk on Pleasant Run Road, and ask them to reserve money in the FY 08-09 budget to accomplish these priorities, in the event that none of the SRTS grants come through. This will give the Council clear direction on what the Committee feels really needs to be done in the upcoming year. The Committee agreed to prioritize their top five (5) priorities. Discussion continued on the prioritization of future projects, with the Committee making the following priority recommendations: 1. Pleasant Run Road-Shelton Road to GCISD Property Line 2. Bransford Road-Oak Valley Drive to Colleyville Terrace 3. Pleasant Run Road-Tinker Road to Hardage Lane 4. Colleyville Terrace-Bransford Road to Pleasant Run Road 5. Beverly Drive-Bransford Road to Pleasant Run Road Pleasant Run Road -Hardage Lane to Cooks Lane, and Cooks Lane to Shelton Road projects will be re-prioritized to Phase 2. Councilman Licata suggested that the Committee immediately get the changes in a memorandum to City Council as updated recommendations. He also suggested that they schedule a time in Pre-Council to come and talk with them before the final budget is set in August. A motion was made by David Klenzendorf to approve the priorities changes, and Jack Olsen seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous. Colleyville Trails and Sidewalks Committee Minutes -June 12, 2007 4. Discussion of the 2008 Projects No discussion of 2008 Projects, it was covered in the re-prioritizing of projects. STAFF REPORTS The committee set their next meeting for Tuesday, October 9, 2007 at 3:00 p.m. CITIZEN COMMENTS/OPEN DISCUSSION Kathy Moore requested copies of any notes taken by the Committee or staff during the meeting due to problems with the recorder. Jack Olsen spoke about a trail between John McCain Road and the Cotton Belt, Trail Number 36. There is a great deal of bared wire along the east side of the trail, he asked the Parks Department to check into it in November. There is still barbed wire along the trail and he wants to request that the contractors be while responsible to clean-up. Matt suggested that he turn it over to Code Enforcement. Councilman Licata suggested that it could also be turned over to the Eagle Scouts as a project, as long as it wasn't something the property owners wanted to keep, or possibly Keep Colleyville Beautiful Committee. Matt informed the Committee that according to City Policy Open Discussion needs to be added to the agenda as an item. In the future the Committee will add an item titled "Suggestions for Future Agenda Discussion". There were no further comments.

N ~'fc°E4s ~'~: cBa~S ~OTi/9 L _sii€~~a Kingswood Estates Trail Section Background: On June 27, staff received an email from Trails and Sidewalks Committee member Odilon Alvarado and Councilman Licata. Both had spoken with residents of Kingwood Estates regarding a gap in the sidewalk along the south side of Kingswood Lane approaching Riverwalk Drive. After visiting the site, both Councilman Licata and Mr. Alvarado confirmed the presence of the gap and passed along the matter to City staff. Research: Staff began researching this case, and was able to piece together some information regarding the missing sidewalk piece. The property, 1501 Kingswood Drive, is zoned R-20, and it is described by the Tarrant Appraisal District as a "common area private open space." The deed for Kingswood Estates is dated 1993, and construction likely began within one year of that time. Attached are three aerial photos of the area, which may help illustrate the evolution of the sidewalk in question. Prior to 2001, Kingswood Lane intersected Bluebonnet Drive, -which was a two lane road with no sidewalk on either side. Therefore, the existing sidewalk on the north side of Kingswood dead ended at Bluebonnet. The sidewalk on the south side of Kingswood road was meant to feed into the common area open space where the pond and fountains are located. In 2002-2003, the north sidewalk on Kingswood was connected to the newly constructed Riverwalk Drive as part of that project's construction. Request: The Kingswood HOA has requested an audience with the Trails and Sidewalks Committee to propose inclusion of a 70 foot stretch of sidewalk into the FY07-08 projects listing. Cost: The cost of this 70 foot stretch of sidewalk is approximately $1.500 N C~~Y oI W E 1999 ~ Texas S N C~~Y o/ W E 2001 ~ g r~:es N W E S C~~Y o/ 2003 ~ Te:as Real Estate Data Display `` ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ P©F Version ~ 'Value Notice ~ Homestead Exemption App Page 1 of 2 Tarrant Appraisal District Real Estate 07/11/2007 Account Number: 06628362 Georeference: 22741-2-A Property Location: 1501 Kingswood Ln, Colleyville ~. ~ i~-S S Owner Informs#ion: M T Properties Inc ~o 5137 Davis Blvd Fort Worth Tx 76180 Legal Description: Kingswood Estates-Colleyville Blk 2 Tract A Common Area Private Open Space Section 23.18 Nominal Value Taxing Jurisdictions: 005 City of Colleyville 220 Tarrant County Show Tax Rates 224 Tarrant County Hospital Dist 225 Tarrant County College Dist 906 Grapevine-Colleyville ISD This information is intended for reference only and is subject to change.

Chernoff Tiffany Park Homeowners Association 400 Waterford Lane Colleyville, TX 76034 (817) 514-6300 July 18, 2007 Matt McCombs Management Assistant City of Colleyville 100 Main Street Colleyville, TX 76034 Re: Sidewalk on Brown Trail Dear Matt, On behalf of the Tiffany Park Homeowners Association, I am writing to ask the City of Colleyville Sidewalk committee to consider funding a the construction of a section of sidewalk on Brown Trail that will complete a safe path from dozens of homes in the neighborhoods off of Brown Trail to the local Colleyville business on Highway 26. Residents in the Saddlebrook, Tiffany Park, and Bridlewood additions, as well as many surrounding neighborhoods, would benefit from this relatively minor expenditure. In addition, this would be very advantageous for the businesses on Colleyville Blvd, due to an increase in the almost non-existent foot traffic. Currently, the lack of a completed sidewalk causes pedestrians to walk into oncoming traffic, or walk through very high weeds and uneven ground - a bad situation either way. The Colleyville Assembly of God Church owns the land where the subject sidewalk would be built. It is my understanding that they are supportive of this project, as it will improve access to their facility as well. have attached some GIS maps that will give you a "birds-eye" view of the situation, clearly showing a "gap" in an otherwise pleasant walk. I have also attached some ground level pictures to show what our pedestrians face. Please let me know if I can provide any further information that will help expedite this project. I look forward to hearing from you on its progress. Since yo s A an S. Chernoff ty of Colleyville nirp/imaps.ci.coiieyviue.tx.usiprmi.asp: r.xienueu-~~ i a~~a.~yoyoo...
