WS-1 Presentation and discussion of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
Public Works Director Jeremy Hutt presented this item and briefed the City
Council.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood asked staff if they pointed out a time when the
contractor had an issue with poor construction during the Bedford Road retaining
wall construction project. Director Hutt replied yes, the contractor took care of the
issue which staff noted.
Mayor Newton asked staff what improvement was created that made the Overland
Trail tank not necessary. Director Hutt replied the LD Lockett ground storage tank
replaced the need for the Overland Trail tank.
Councilmember Coplen asked staff if the metal will be sold. Director Hutt replied
the removal of the materials would be a part of the demolition contract.
Councilmember Taylor asked staff if the removal of existing asphalt was
completed during the milling. Director Hutt replied yes.
City Council Minutes July 18, 2017
City of Colleyville Page 2
Councilmember Wheat asked staff if the John McCain Road construction will begin
after the railroad construction is complete. Director Hutt replied the railroad has
closed John McCain to replace the track, which should be open soon.
Councilmember Wheat asked staff what is going to be done on John McCain Road.
Director Hutt replied it will be a full depth reclamation, rebuilding the road that is
currently in place. The cross section will be much more substantial and the road
will remain open, while maintaining one lane of traffic.
Councilmember Dodson asked staff about the change in the start date. Director
Hutt replied it depends on the availability of the contractor and which project to
do first, or combine projects to finish quicker.
Councilmember Dodson suggested communicating the change in any start dates
to the public.
Councilmember Taylor asked staff if the chart is updated. Director Hutt replied
yes, as soon as we know, we update the chart immediately.
Councilmember Wheat asked staff if LD Locket is set to begin in September.
Director Hutt replied yes.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood asked staff if the County is asking to change the date
to September. Director Hutt replied no, it is the same contractor looking at John
McCain Road and the LD Lockett projects because the County has done what they
can do this year.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood asked staff if projects can be staggered to finish one
before another one is started. Director Hutt replied that could be considered.
Councilmember Wheat asked staff if LD Lockett is being used as a detour for one
of the road projects. Director Hutt replied yes, for Glade Road.
Councilmember Wheat asked staff if Glade Road is going to be finished before the
John McCain construction. Director Hutt replied yes, Glade Road is expected to be
finished by mid-August.
Mayor Newton asked staff if sidewalks are being done in conjunction with the John
McCain Road project. Director Hutt replied it is only an asphalt street maintenance
project.
Mayor Newton asked staff if that is only because the contractor only does street
maintenance. Director Hutt replied yes, only asphalt.
Mayor Newton asked staff if there is a plan to complete the sidewalks on John
McCain Road at some future date. Director Hutt replied there are no standalone
City Council Minutes July 18, 2017
City of Colleyville Page 3
sidewalk projects, but the Sidewalk Committee is planning to meet to evaluate
projects.
Councilmember Wheat asked staff if the John McCain plans have been finalized.
Director Hutt replied it is a maintenance project, which does not have full
engineering plans.
Councilmember Nakamura asked Mayor Newton if it is too late to have the
conversation about ribbon curb. Mayor Newton replied yes, but sidewalks can be
factored in.
Councilmember Wheat asked staff if adding ribbon curb separately is as effective.
Director Hutt replied ideally it is good to do them at the same time, but you can
add them afterwards.
Councilmember Wheat asked staff how much further into the future are we looking
at readdressing John McCain. Director Hutt replied full replacement is in the
future, but there will have to be continued maintenance, and the biggest
difference will be the cross sections.
Councilmember Wheat asked staff if there is a tendency to slide off without the
ribbon curbs. Director Hutt replied yes, potentially, but there are no steep issues
on John McCain.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood asked staff about the offset. Director Hutt replied we
like to keep a two foot recovery zone.
Councilmember Taylor asked staff if the right-of-way on John McCain is typically
75 feet. Director Hutt replied yes, in some areas it is 95 feet.
Councilmember Nakamura asked staff if there are a lot of cars that run off John
McCain. Assistant City Manager/Director of Public Safety Mike Holder replied not a
lot of reported accidents as they are able to get back on the road. Councilmember
Wheat stated the biggest issue is at John McCain and Westcoat.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood asked Mayor Newton if the LD Lockett project could be
delayed a bit. Mayor Newton replied yes. Councilmember Dodson agreed.
Mayor Newton asked staff if John McCain could be completed before LD Lockett is
started. Director Hutt replied that is not a problem at all, and can look at taking
the LD Lockett project in the FY2017 budget and combining it with the 2018 CIP.
Mayor Newton asked staff about when it is anticipated John McCain would be
complete. Director Hutt replied October.
City Council Minutes July 18, 2017
City of Colleyville Page 4
Mayor Newton stated it has always been said that we want to get projects started
and done, and now we are getting complaints about doing too much at one time.
Mayor Newton asked staff if the Glade Road project has been bid. Director Hutt
replied Glade Road Phase 1A has been bid.
Mayor Newton asked staff if the Pleasant Run Road project has been bid. Director
Hutt replied yes, and it was over the original estimate.
Mayor Newton stated it may be LD Lockett does not start until John McCain is
done; see how the bids compare to the bids received in 2014; and then depending
on the timing, it may make sense to do all as one project. Director Hutt stated he
understands about having no overlap between the two projects.
Councilmember Wheat asked staff about when the last traffic study was done.
Director Hutt replied 2015.
Councilmember Wheat stated being concerned about the intersection at Westcoat
and McDonwell School Road. She added she is not sure adding a roundabout will
create a safer roadway, especially when school is in session and for the evening
traffic.
Councilmember Wheat asked staff about a three-way stop. Director Hutt replied it
would create more of a traffic build-up, unless there was a turn lane added and
this would be a temporary solution. Wanting to build the final solution to address
the intersection issues resulted in this project being listed in the 2017 CIP, as a
roundabout. The roundabout is considered to be the best engineering solution for
the intersection.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood asked staff if the property owners located around the
intersection are good with a roundabout. Director Hutt replied staff has had
discussions with them and they are aware of the project, but did not get a feel for
support or opposition.
Mayor Newton stated the key benefit of Glade Road Phase 3 was resolving the
issues on the east end near Roberts Road. Mayor Newton asked staff if the Glade
Road Phase 3 issues should be considered as part of the solution to Roberts Road.
Director Hutt replied there are some issues that could be addressed with this
intersection during the overall Roberts Road project. Mayor Newton suggested
addressing Glade Road, Phase 3 issues within the scope of the Roberts Road
project.
Councilmember Taylor asked staff if we have thought about putting landscaping or
screening along Hall-Johnson. Director Hutt replied yes, staff is currently adding
landscaping and screening to the service center property. Councilmember Taylor
City Council Minutes July 18, 2017
City of Colleyville Page 5
suggested adding trees to provide shading over the existing sidewalks and trails,
which are a good investment into the future.
Councilmember Dodson asked staff if the fiber project is already in year one.
Director Hutt replied yes, and Interim City Manager/Executive Director of
Economic Development and Communications Mark Wood concurred.
Councilmember Taylor asked staff about the fire station folding doors. Fire Chief
Brian Riley replied the project is currently seeking Requests for Proposals (RFP),
and bids will be submitted.
Councilmember Taylor asked staff about when the doors will be installed. Chief
Riley replied the goal is to have them installed by September, especially since
contractors are already interested.
Councilmember Taylor asked staff for a commitment that this project will get
done. City Manager Jerry Ducay agreed, and stated the second station is
scheduled for the next fiscal year.
Mayor Newton asked staff about the grant for the City Hall generator. Director
Hutt replied he expects the grant to be substantial, around 80/20.
Councilmember Coplen asked staff when the last Storm Drainage Master Plan was
completed. Director Hutt replied 1992.
Councilmember Taylor asked staff why Montclair Drive is included in 2018.
Director Hutt replied this project is being considered as a County project, but to be
considered, it had to be a roadway that can be shut down for repair. This road
needs to be repaired and is a good candidate for the County’s preferences.
Mayor Newton asked staff about the status of the street assessment. Director Hutt
replied staff has received some of the preliminary data, but the information was
not ready for this presentation. Mayor Newton stated that information is used as
leverage to match what is being proposed.
Councilmember Wheat asked staff about the expected date the assessment will be
available. Director Hutt replied August or September.
Councilmember Coplen asked staff if the assessment can be used to adjust
projects. Director Hutt replied yes.
Mayor Newton asked staff if no drainage projects are included in 2018. Director
Hutt replied correct; however, staff does expect some projects to be slated upon
the completion of the Storm Drainage Master Plan.
City Council Minutes July 18, 2017
City of Colleyville Page 6
Mayor Newton asked staff when the Storm Drainage Master Plan will be
completed. Director Hutt replied staff anticipates six to eight months depending on
the scope of the study. City Manager Jerry Ducay asked staff about the
anticipation start date. Director Hutt replied the RFP is slated for August, to then
bring forward design contracts to City Council in September, this time next year to
finalize everything.
Mayor Newton asked staff if the drainage issue at LD Lockett Park is a CIP project.
Director Hutt replied it will be a maintenance project, proposed in the CEDC
operating budget for 2018.
Mayor Newton asked staff about the metal roof coating at the Justice Center.
Director Hutt replied the new coating is applied to keep the roof in good shape.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood added the coating prolongs the life of the metal.
Mayor Newton asked staff about the HVAC replacement at the Justice Center.
Director Hutt replied it is the replacement of the primary unit, which has reached
its lifespan of about 15 years.
Mayor Newton asked staff about what are the fundamentals driving the need for a
new elevated storage tank in Water Project #3. Director Hutt replied staff is not
advancing this project at this time, primarily because the project is based on the
provided model, and it may not be truly needed.
Mayor Newton stated the proposed CIP reflects the visions of the community and
he would like to see the projects that are combined as street and/or water projects
to be listed separately under the street category and utility category, for
transparency and clarity. He stated the LD Lockett drainage issue needs to be
addressed this year.
WS-2 Discussion of SH26 Project Change Order Request
SH26 Project Coordinator James Hubbard presented this item and briefed the City
Council.
Mayor Newton stated being good with this item.
Councilmember Dodson asked staff about the funding of this item. Coordinator
Hubbard replied through the TIF district.
Mayor Newton asked staff if the metal railings and such are covered in this change
order. Coordinator Hubbard replied yes.
Councilmember Dodson asked staff about the total for the change order.
Coordinator Hubbard replied a little over $203,000. City Manager Jerry Ducay
stated this change order covers the powder coating of the poles and fixtures, with
City Council Minutes July 18, 2017
City of Colleyville Page 7
an additional $100,000 for street sign boxes to come, and an additional $2.5
million for other improvements related to streetscaping, etc. Coordinator Hubbard
agreed.
Councilmember Wheat asked staff about the general time frame for lighting.
Coordinator Hubbard replied those will almost be a separate project with a
different contractor on the very end.
Councilmember Nakamura asked staff if the poles at John McCain are already
coated. Coordinator Hubbard replied yes.
WS-3 Discussion of the City Council Rules of Procedure and meeting brochure
City Secretary Amy Shelley presented this item and briefed the City Council.
Mayor Newton proposed a change to the meeting brochure. City Councilmembers
agreed with the change.
Councilmember Coplen suggested adding something to the Rules of Procedure
relative to the procedures for City Council appointments in that applicants must
submit an application and financial disclosures, if applicable.
Councilmember Dodson suggested it would be a good idea to interview applicants
for positions on the Planning and Zoning Commission.

5b Ordinance O-17-2015
Consideration for approval of amendments to the Land Development
Code regarding a proposed requirement that newly installed utilities be
underground; specifically Chapter 9 – Subdivision Design & Public
Facilities, Section 9.17 Street Design Criteria, proposed Section 9.18
Easements, proposed Section 9.19 Private Utilities, and Chapter 14 –
Engineering Design Standards, Section 14-175 Miscellaneous, Case
GC17-015
Mayor Newton read the caption of Ordinance O-17-2015.
Community Development Director Ben Bryner presented this item and briefed the
City Council.
Mayor Newton asked staff if there are any comparative measures that are different
from the proposed versus the benchmarked communities. Director Bryner replied
no, and staff has added a handful of the surrounding community’s regulations
which the Planning and Zoning Commission approved.
Councilmember Nakamura asked staff about the type of screening being proposed.
Director Bryner replied the screening could be living screening, such as shrubs,
and/or fencing. City Manager Jerry Ducay added the screening does not have to be
around the utility box which may impair access. Director Bryner agreed, as long as
the utility is not seen from the street.
Mayor Newton asked staff how redevelopment is defined, such as a tear down and
rebuild. Director Bryner replied since the utility would already exist with a tear
down and rebuild, it would not be considered redevelopment. If the property does
not have utilities, the service would have to be underground, not overhead.
Mayor Newton asked staff if the line would have to be buried for a new building,
even if the utility poles are at the edge of the building. Director Bryner replied it
would depend, if there is an overhead service for existing buildings, the new
building would require the service to be buried.
City Council Minutes July 18, 2017
City of Colleyville Page 11
Mayor Newton asked staff what is considered new, if you have an existing building.
Director Bryner replied the new service line would have to be buried. City Manager
Jerry Ducay added there may be instances when only 50 percent or more of the
structure is to be expanded or rebuilt, which may not require the service to be
buried. Director Bryner agreed.
Don Perfect, 1909 Camden Court, Oncor Area Manager, Grapevine, stated he
would like to review the proposed ordinance and make a few recommendations,
prior to the City Council’s vote.
Mayor Newton asked Mr. Perfect what would be different. Mr. Perfect replied
leaving the service box in the front of the property allows better access to the
equipment, which means less down time when service goes out. He added another
item would be having a 7.5 foot side yard setback, versus a five foot, with those
homes that have a service box.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood asked Mr. Perfect if the service box is left in the front,
could it be screened on all four sides. Mr. Perfect replied yes, but there needs to
be a clearance of about five to ten feet, to allow for an escape route in the event
of an emergency.
Councilmember Taylor asked Mr. Perfect if he had already visited with staff, and
what else would need to be changed. Mr. Perfect replied he had worked with staff
this past Friday, and he would like more time to review the ordinance.
Councilmember Taylor asked Mr. Perfect if there is an issue with commercial
properties. Mr. Perfect replied no, and most new subdivisions are designed with
services located underground. City Manager Jerry Ducay stated there is an
opportunity for the utility to secure the easement prior to the development of the
connection. As a matter of policy, the City should require the 7.5 foot easement.
Mayor Newton opened the public hearing at 8:22 p.m.
There was no one present wishing to speak and Mayor Newton closed the public
hearing at 8:22 p.m.
Mayor Newton asked the City Council about their preference to residential
requirements, based on the discussion from Mr. Perfect. Councilmember Dodson
suggested tabling this item to allow for the proper language for access with an
option for rear lot service.
Mayor Newton asked staff what is the comment about Mr. Perfect’s concerns.
Director Bryner replied he believes Mr. Perfect has some legitimate concerns and
thinks there can be some regulations created for residential.
City Council Minutes July 18, 2017
City of Colleyville Page 12
Councilmember Taylor agreed with tabling the item.
Mayor Newton made a motion to table Ordinance O-17-2015.
Councilmember Taylor seconded the motion.
Assistant City Attorney Braden Metcalf suggested tabling this item to a date
certain. Director Bryner added the item could be ready for the August 1st meeting
but waiting until the 15th, allows even more time.
Mayor Newton amended his motion to table Ordinance O-17-2015 to
August 15. Councilmember Taylor accepted the amendment.

this area. Mr. Cunningham replied no.

location to be a good fit.

decision. Mr. Sanders replied it is an internal process, and they compare locations
to their portfolio to see which locations fit best.

to a restaurant or dentist office at this location. Mr. Wozniak replied he is not

he does like RaceTrac, just not at this location.

into this process, and that they wish to come to Colleyville.

with this use on this property or the value it may bring to Colleyville.

Master Plan.
Councilmember Taylor stated he appreciates the enthusiasm of RaceTrac and has
heard the concerns of the citizens and stated not being against the use, just not in
this location. He added access to the properties, to the north of this site, needs to
be adjusted to allow a good cross through.
Mayor Newton stated this use does not fit the vision for Colleyville, at this location,
and he stated he has no problem with waiting awhile to get what fits best in this
location.
This was a first reading, therefore, City Council did not take any action.

details in the future.
