WS-1 Presentations by organizations seeking funding through agency
agreements
The following agencies provided their presentations: Alliance for Children -
Executive Director Julie Evans; Colleyville Area Chamber of Commerce - Interim
Director Erin Pedersen; GRACE - Executive Director Shonda Shaefer; Metroport
Meals on Wheels - Executive Director Mary King; Safe Haven - Private Grants
Coordinator Peter Luby; and Special Needs Assistance Partners (SNAP) - Executive
Director Brandy Schimmel.
Mayor Newton expressed his appreciation to the agencies for their thorough
presentations, and for the services they provide.
Councilmember Taylor asked Ms. Schimmel about the gym facility used for
basketball. Ms. Schimmel replied yes, they still use the facility.
Councilmember Coplen asked the agency members if they coordinate efforts
between the agencies for services they provide. Ms. Shaefer answered for the
agencies and replied yes, the collaboration shared among the organizations is
City Council Minutes March 7, 2017
City of Colleyville Page 2
incredibly important, and allows them to do what they do best. Ms. Schimmel
added they all provide referrals to the other resources in the community.
Councilmember Taylor stated cleaning out your closet can be a great benefit to
those persons in need through the GRACE closet. Councilmember Coplen agreed,
and unlike the larger cities who have these resources available, Colleyville does
not, and these partnerships are important. Mayor Newton agreed, Colleyville is
blessed in many ways.
WS-2 Discussion of the Library Long-Range Plan 2016 - 2021
Recreation and Library Director Mary Rodne introduced Aaron Babcock and Bill
Hidell with Hidell and Associates Architects, and both briefed the City Council.
Councilmember Coplen asked staff if you can bring drinks into the Library. Director
Rodne replied yes.
Councilmember Taylor asked Mr. Babcock what display means. Mr. Babcock
replied it is very important for the Library to market itself, internally and
externally. He stated the idea to display is to pique consumer’s interest.
Councilmember Taylor asked Mr. Babcock if the representations are of where the
libraries are today or where they are going to be in the future. Mr. Babcock replied
both, it is two part. Yes this is where libraries are today, but the change for the
future is a slow change. He stated over time, the collections will reduce in size,
with an increase in seating and programming.
Councilmember Taylor asked Mr. Babcock why not have free open seating, so that
if they want to bring in their own device or check out the device, there is space to
do so. Mr. Babcock replied that could happen, and the impetus for this is for there
to be a right amount of collections, but over time, the collections will go away. A
new shelving layout will give the appearance of a more user friendly environment.
Councilmember Taylor asked Mr. Babcock if there will be a point in time in which
book kiosks will appear in businesses like Starbucks. Mr. Babcock replied yes, and
with moving forward you have to make those decisions about what is the right
amount of collection. He stated on the flip side, anything you want is really only
two days away, given the shared services among libraries.
Councilmember Taylor suggested having a robust search tool so patrons can
preview what they think they need rather than getting a book and it being the
wrong resource.
Mayor Newton suggested keeping the new design and/or layout nice and classy,
no plastic chairs or bright colors. Councilmember Taylor suggested a homier
environment, like Starbucks.
City Council Minutes March 7, 2017
City of Colleyville Page 3
Mayor Newton asked staff about the timeframe. Director Rodne replied a lot of
work has already been done and the project could be started right away. Mr.
Babcock added there will be some recommendations put together with some
community input as well.
Councilmember Taylor suggested moving towards more of a social setting. Mr.
Hidell suggested that the City Council should visit the Coppell library to see the
changes they have made there.
Mayor Newton expressed his appreciation to the Colleyville Public Library
Foundation and Friends of the Library, and the work they provided which has
made the Library successful.

6b Resolution R-17-4101
Consideration of an encroachment into the gas well buffer easement to
allow for a new residence on Lot 5, Block 1, of The Overlook at Big
Bear Creek subdivision, located at 601 Forest Meadow Drive
Mayor Newton read Resolution R-17-4101 in its entirety.
Community Development Director Ben Brymer presented this item and briefed the
City Council.
Mayor Newton asked staff if the 300 feet distance requirement is a state or City
requirement. Director Bryner replied it is in the Land Development Code, so no
matter what, it is a City requirement.
Mayor Newton asked staff if the City has the latitude for that distance to be
greater in the Land Development Code. Director Bryner replied yes, the Land
Development Code can be amended.
Mayor Newton asked staff if the state changed their regulations which forced the
City to only have a 300 foot distance requirement. Director Bryner replied the City
has the latitude to make the amendment, and the state provides guidelines, but it
gives local communities to provide those standards. City Manager Jennifer Fadden
City Council Minutes March 7, 2017
City of Colleyville Page 9
added the Land Development Code, Chapter 3.1 requires a 1,000 foot buffer for a
new gas well to locate adjacent to an existing residential property, but 300 feet for
a new residential property to locate adjacent to the gas well. The buffer is different
depending on whether the property existed prior to the development of the gas
well or if it came after.
Mayor Newton stated the existing gas well is not capped, and in reality, it is an
open well, and there is no valid permit for capping. To him, that well is live and
could be live, and it is not known what will happen to the property, and the 300
foot is close. He stated not being in favor of the waiver request, and believes there
are other options for the home.
Councilmember Taylor asked staff if the issue is created because the builder wants
to construct something in the 300 foot buffer. Director Bryner replied correct.
Councilmember Taylor asked staff if they stay outside of the buffer, there is no
issue. Director Bryner replied correct. Councilmember Taylor stated the hardship is
being created by the design, not by the zoning or SUP. Director Bryner agreed.
Councilmember Taylor stated he agreed with Mayor Newton and stated this is not
a hardship that should be waived.
Councilmember Coplen asked staff if the lot has been purchased. Director Bryner
replied the property is under contract.
Councilmember Coplen asked staff if under normal circumstances the property
owner would know what is on their lot. Director Bryner replied an annotation will
be made in the permit file.
Councilmember Coplen asked staff what about the deed. Director Bryner replied
he does not know if the note is transferred to the deed.
Greg Powell, applicant with Toll Brothers, presented this item and briefed the City
Council. He stated the contract is contingent on getting the waiver approved.
Councilmember Nakamura asked Mr. Powell if there are any other ways to account
for the buffer area. Mr. Powell replied yes; however, the foot print has been kept
as tight as possible in order to keep the square footage they would like to have to
minimize the encroachment.
Councilmember Nakamura asked Mr. Powell if the room can be made smaller if the
waiver is not passed. Mr. Powell replied yes; however, they would like to keep that
size of house and the family is aware of the situation with the gas well.
Councilmember Taylor asked Mr. Powell why he did not consider doing a mirror
image on the layout to eliminate the encroachment. Mr. Powell replied in doing a
City Council Minutes March 7, 2017
City of Colleyville Page 10
flip, the encroachment would be increased even further with the patio area.
Councilmember Taylor stated this layout could be redesigned.
Mayor Newton opened the public hearing at 8:41 p.m.
James Day, 805 Shelton Drive, spoke in opposition to this request with concerns of
opening the options for others to request the same waiver. He stated the buffer
zone is there for a reason.
Kathy Hadley, 204 Timberline Drive North, spoke in opposition to this request with
concerns of opening the options for others to request the same waiver. She stated
the buffer zone is there for a reason.
The following person did not wish to speak, but did wish to register her opposition:
Christine Glaser, 6909 Sir Spencer Court.
There were no others present wishing to speak and Mayor Newton closed the
public hearing at 8:44 p.m.

Independent School District to facilitate the installation of a fiber optic
conduit system
Mayor Newton read Resolution R-17-4102 in its entirety.
Information Services Manager Chris Pena presented this item and briefed the City
Council.
Mayor Newton asked staff which funds will be used on the project. Manager Pena
replied the funds will be used from the Colleyville Tomorrow Fund.
Mayor Newton asked staff how long will this take to complete. Manager Pena
replied this is a five year agreement. The project has been progressing for over a
year, it is going very well, and ahead of schedule.
City Council Minutes March 7, 2017
City of Colleyville Page 11
Mayor Newton asked staff if there will be an equal number of Colleyville staff
members and GCISD staff members appointed to the committee, as outlined in
the agreement. Manager Pena replied yes, members will be appointed by the
Colleyville city manager and the GCISD superintendent.
Councilmember Taylor asked staff if there will be 48 pairs of fiber or 96 strands of
fiber. Manager Pena replied fiber is laid in pairs; therefore, there will be 48 pairs
for Colleyville.
Councilmember Lindamood expressed his appreciation to Manager Pena for his
work on this project and stated it is saving the citizens money.
Councilmember Coplen asked staff about the section of the agreement that speaks
about the SH26 project and its completion. Manager Pena replied the fiber project
will be completed during the larger SH26 roadway construction project, there will
be a linear footage credit that does not have to be paid into the dedicated fund. If
the SH26 project is not complete, Colleyville will not receive the credit. City
Manager Jennifer Fadden added the same holds true for the Glade Road project,
the phase between Bransford Road and Bluebonnet Drive.
