CONSIDERATION OF THE APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO IMPACT FEES, CASE G-02-025
Barry LeBaron conducted an orientation and informed the committee what impact fees are and how
Colleyville has gotten where they are today in the assessment and collection of impact fees. He said
that the City is required to have aten-year plan for the collection of impact fees.
Barry told the committee during the past session of the Texas Legislature, revisions were made to
Chapter 395 of the Local Government Code regarding impact fees charged by municipalities, and
informed them of the measures the City took to comply with the legislation. He said the City
employed the services of Government Resource Associates, LCC to evaluate Colleyville's fee
structure and make recommendations if the City was not collecting the maximum allowable fee. He
displayed overheads relating to the report.
Larry Cole said the chart stipulates fees fora 3/4" meter, but the City of Colleyville requires a 1"water
line for any new house being built in the City. He asked if the City, bylaw, has a right to require 1"
water lines for new construction when 3/4" lines are adequate. Mr. LeBaron said he will probably
eliminate the 3/4" water line from the chart.
Mr. LeBaron then displayed the chart for the sewer impact fees and discussed why the sewer impact
fees were lower. He then displayed the roadway impact fee table and discussed the actual impact
fees on a typical single-family home.
Mr. LeBaron informed the committee that when the state law as passed in 1988 it stipulated how a
Capital Improvements Advisory Committee was to be formed. He said that Colleyville set up their
committee by appointing the Planning and Zoning commissioners to the committee and appointing

one representative from the development industry and one representative from the real estate
industry to the committee.
Vice Chairman Wall asked for comments or questions from the committee. It was discussed that the
City Council will still adhere to the percentages of collection as set forth in the last revision to the
ordinance. Barry LeBaron explained the collection system for perimeter street improvement
requirements and how that system is based on the thoroughfare plan network within the City versus
how the roadway impact fee structure is determined. It was noted by Larry Cole that the perimeter
street improvement fees are not as restrictive as roadway impact fees.
Mark Jones moved to recommend approval of the report and forwarding the reports to the
City Council with a recommendation to adopt the revised impact fees in accordance with the
recommendation of the consultant. Bob Culley seconded the motion. The motion passed by
unanimous "Aye" voice vote.
