RECOMMENDATION OF ROADWAY IMPACT FEE
Barry LeBaron presented the case to the Commission. He stated that each committee member had
been furnished a final copy of the capital improvements plan prepared by Kimley-Horn and
Associates which included the intersection improvements recommended by the committee at the last
meeting. These intersection improvements were at the intersections of McDonwell School Road and
Precinct Line Road and L. D. Lockett Road and Precinct Line Road. Staff presented a worksheet
which compared total residential development fees from Keller and Southlake with those of
Colleyville. The study recommends different impact fees for each service area, east and west of
Colleyville Boulevard. The previous study also had two separate fees, but the Council chose to
make the impact fees the same in both service areas. Staff advised that the study recommends the
Area 1 fee to be $1,962 and the Area 2 fee to be $1,589 for the typical single family home. The fee
for the east side is higher due to the cost of improvements in the area and the lower growth rate
projected for that service area. Staff recommended that the Committee adopt the maximum fee
allowed by the study.
Jim Fletcher asked why the fee for Area 2 is less than the previous study.
Staff stated the Thoroughfare Plan has changed since the previous study, which has a direct
relationship on the calculation of the fee. Staff advised that the fee is only slightly lower due to
changes in pavement width and the addition of intersection improvements.
Luann Edwards asked what the fee can be used for.
Staff advised that the fees could only be used for those roadways shown on the Thoroughfare Plan.
Rob Rutherford asked how the designation of collector and arterial are assigned.

Staff advised that the designation is based on the function of how the road is intended to be used.
Luann Edwards stated if the Committee were to adopt the same fee for each service area, then the
fee would have to be the lower of the two since the $1,589 fee is the maximum allowed for that
service area.
Larry Cole stated the fees are comparable to other similar cities. He stated that places like Hurst,
Grapevine and North Richland Hills have much lower fees, but those cities have much larger
commercial bases. He stated the Committee should vote on each service area separately. He
stated that he would not vote for Area 1 to be charged the maximum.
Luann Edwards stated that there is not much developable land left in Area 1.
Jim Fletcher stated that this is the only way for the City to recoup any of the costs associated with
road construction.
Luann Edwards moved to adopt the maximum fee allowed for Service Area 2 of $1,589. Mike
Collins seconded the motion. The vote being:
Ayes: Rutherford, Edwards, Collins, Fletcher, Hill, Hart, Cole
Noes: None
Jim Fletcher moved to adopt the maximum fee allowed for Service Area 1 of $1,962. The
motion was seconded by Luann Edwards.
Ayes: Edwards, Collins, Fletcher, Hill, Hart
Noes: Rutherford, Cole
