Public Services Bld . (swtf-min-6-5-01) Page 1 Of 3 PRESENT: Gail Manion, Chair, Judy Atwood, Deena Dendy, Dulce Moore ABSENT: Nancy Jane Langford, STAFF: Tom Niederauer, AICP, Sr. Planner ;Keith Fisher, Project Engineer I. Adoption of minutes, Task Force business. Minutes of the meeting of May 11, 2001 were reviewed and approved with minor changes. Discussion about the proposed resolution to include the Co/%vvi/le Pathways (and Trails) Program as part of the purview of the Sidewalk Task Force, and a change from "Task Force" to a "Committee", since this has become an annualized program rather than cone-time issue. Also that members should have terms to be served rather than being appointed in an open ended fashion. Members suggested that staff communicate to the City Manager to include a member(s) from the Park Board that are familiar with the Trail project /process. II. Staff and Task Force Reports • Glade Road survey -Fisher suggested that it would be cheaper to survey the whole stretch of Glade on both sides from Bluebonnet to Bedford Road at one time. The Task Force concurred. Fisher said that the Teague, Nall and Perkins estimate to do the complete project was about $14,000. • Task Force Notebook -Niederauer mentioned that he is almost finished with the Collevville Comprehensive Sidewalk Task Force Notebookto give to Task Force members. He will deliver them when they are ready. • Glade Road construction - Niederauer distributed a copy of the construction detail for the drainage culvert and Riverside Drive street intersection with Glade Road as requested by the Task Force. The culvert is entirely under the new road, and a cross walk will be designed across the new street parallel to Glade. Moore thinks that as a matter of courtesy, the City should discuss the timing of these projects and in particular the design of the culvert opening on the south side of Glade Road with the Dukes (property owners south of the project). Although the rock-lined "throat" of the culvert will be in the public right-of-way, it will be facing the Duke's property. O.C. Taylor sidewalk gap -Niederauer said this issue is on school property. Atwood said she will report it by letter to Grapevine-Colleyville I. S. D. Sidewalk Task Force pg. 2 of 3 Minutes 6-05-01 • Soccer Field sidewalk gap - Niederauer reported that there is about a 75' gap from the end of a walk in the park to the Lutheran Church walk. Fisher said the Park Department has no money for things like this, so we should include it in our budget as a minor project. • Hardaae-Ponderosa-school connection - Dendy did receive the material on this issue and will write an a-mail letter to the Mayor. • Glade Road-Behrens Rd. to Behrens Ct. connection -Fisher stated the Troy Gray did meet again with Mr. Behrens but he is not interested in working with the City for r.o.w. or an easement to put a walk in front of his property. Moore thinks this is a public safety issue and that the City Council should condemn the property if he won't cooperate. • Bedford Road -Fisher reported that we will submit a grant application to build a trail from the Nature Center to Sparger Park. This trail will link the two parks together on the north side of Little Bear Creek and under Colleyville Boulevard. The application will be submitted on behalf of the City by Teague, Nall & Perkins, Engrs. by the end of June. • Kingswood Addition H.O.A. and Escrow -Niederauer did make contact with the HOA president to see if they will participate in providing walks in the area along Bluebonnet. He said that he will take it to their board. He also said the documents do not make clear whether there is an escrow for sidewalks or not. • Smith property - D.R. Horton housing proiect -Atwood talked to Mark Howe, realtor for Ms. Smith, about the office-zoned property facing Glade Road, west of the new Riverwalk Drive. He promised to get back with her on that subject. III. Final Report and Priorities. The Task Force agreed that the priorities for Fiscal Year 2001 to report to the City Council should be: 1) Bluebonnet from Hall Johnson to the Kingswood addition to connect to the schools (Colleyville Elementary and Middle School). 2) Survey both sides of Glade Road from Bluebonnet Dr. to Bedford Rd. 3) Minor projects - Village Park gap Soccer field at Lutheran Church • Brown Trail at Cheek-Sparger at the "Woods" subdivision 4) Purchase right-of-way along Glade Road - to be determined after survey. 5) Other projects as listed, in no priority order, may be constructed it additional funds warrant. Sidewalk Task Force pg. 3 of 3 Minutes 6=05-01 (III. Priorities -continued) The Task Force requested that the three top priority projects: 1. Connection from Ponderosa/Hardage to the schools, 2. West Glade from Bransford to Mill Creek, and 3. Glade Road at Behrens Court, appear at the top of the report, but without funding being included in this years budget, to emphasize their continued importance. IV. Next Meeting: • The Task Force determined that an additional meeting was not necessary, but that the Staff would circulate the minutes of this meeting, and a draft copy of the final report before it is submitted.
