Discussion and Continuation of the Sidewalk Master Plan David Klenzendorf opened the meeting with the continuation of the update of the sidewalk master plan map. Nancy Jane Langford stated that she talked with people about Chelsea Park and they did not want sidewalks and she was concerned about requiring sidewalks where the residents were not interested in having them. David Klenzendorf is concerned about justifying the Committee's decisions to the public; he has fears that they are not being totally consistent. They reviewed their original criteria in which sidewalks would be required and when they would not be required. Discussions continued with areas of concern and with areas in which different members had actually drove and looked at. There was quite a bit of discussion on which side of the street sidewalks would be required and when and why it would be required on both sides of the street. The Committee continued to work on filling in the gaps on the map until agreed it was complete. Jeremy Hutt stated that the only other thing that he would need from them is a letter addressed to Council stating the reasons behind developing the map, their recommendations and any variance process that they would like to see implemented. Jeremy Hutt also informed the Committee that a member of the Committee should be present when the recommendations are presented to Council. David Klenzendorf requested that Gail Manion be present if possible. Jeremy Hutt stated that the earliest it could go to Council would be September 16, 2008 everyone agreed there was not Col/eyville Trails and Sidewalks Committee Worksession Minutes -August 18, 2008 enough time to make that date; we will try to be ready by the October 8, 2008 Council meeting.

STAFF REPORTS The committee agreed to have their quarterly meeting on Tuesday, November 11, 2008 at 4:00 p.m. ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 5:12 p.m. Respectfully Submitted, ~.: V ~, Ka by E. oore Administrative Assistant Approved on: November 11, 2008 Colleyville Trails and Sidewalks Committee Worksession Minutes -August 18, 2008 Colleyville Trails and Sidewalks Committee Recommendations Addendum to Colleyville Pathways Plan: Sidewalks Master Map At the request of City Staff and due to concerns regarding consistent implementation of the Colleyville Pathways Plan and the existing sidewalk ordinance, particularly in regard to redevelopment of existing properties, the Trails & Sidewalks Committee has developed acity-wide Sidewalks Master Map. This would be an addendum to the Colleyville Pathways Plan, which does not specifically state where sidewalks must be constructed versus the possibility of being escrowed. The sidewalk ordinance requires that sidewalks be constructed wherever any kind of new development (or redevelopment) occurs. However, the enforcement of this policy by the City has varied over the years in regards to individual homes, frequently allowing escrow instead of requiring construction. The Sidewalks Master Map was thus created to serve as a guide for city staff in determining whether a sidewalk must be constructed, can be escrowed, or does not require construction on astreet-by-street and lot-by-lot basis. Factors The committee spent several work sessions to develop the map, looking at the entire city one neighborhood at a time. The following factors were considered in our decisions, in no particular order: Proximity to schools Proximity to parks and trails Connectivity to existing sidewalks Whether the street is a major collector or thoroughfare Potential for street reconstruction Potential for lot redevelopment The need for a sidewalk due to safety concerns Requirements of the Colleyville Pathways Plan In addition, quieter streets with little connectivity and older neighborhoods with no existing sidewalks and where construction of sidewalks might be problematic (due to trees, mailboxes, etc.) were generally exempted from requiring sidewalks to be built. Recommendations The Trails & Sidewalks Committee recommends that City Council adopt the proposed Sidewalks Master Map in its entirety and the following variance procedure: Any requests for variances from the Sidewalks Master Plan will be reviewed by the Trails & Sidewalks Committee. The committee will then forward its recommendation to City Council for its review and final decision. The Trails & Sidewalks Committee recommends, however, that variances be kept to a minimum. The committee plans to periodically review and update the plan to insure that it is consistent with the city's needs in the future and congruent with any future changes to other plans the city may have or enact, such as the Colleyville Master Plan and the Colleyville Pathways Plan.

In these tight financial times I see no reason to spend the money to put in sidewalks on a street where there is no history of problems caused by not having sidewalks.

I would like to see a sidewalk put in Colleyville Terrace. Our street has a lot of traffic flow, and also has many pedestrians such as children walking to and from school every day, people walking their dogs to the park, preschool teachers from the First United Methodist Church taking a walking break, soccer teams playing at the vacant lot at the end of the street etc. I feel that a sidewalk would provide a safe way for the pedestrians to travel while allowing traffic flow. I understand that our street is not allowed to have any speed bumps because it is an emergency vehicle route, and a sidewalk would help keep my 3 children safe as they walk to school every day. If you have any questions, feel free to call me at 817 788 9278.

We have a small daughter and we really enjoy walking with her to the Colleyville City Park. However, without the sidewalk, we have to walk on the street which is risky, especially with the small child. Also we have seen other people and children walking on the street which is dangerous because of the traffic on the street (many cars, in fact, speed exceeding the speed limit). So we sincerely request you to make a sidewalk on this street which will make our lives so much better. Thank you very much.

Colleyville. tx. us From: Mary Lou Dove [mailto:mldovei@tx.rr.com] Sent: Monday, November 03, 2008 1:55 PM To: Jeremy Hutt Subject: Sidewalks on Colleyville Terrace Dear Mr. Hutt, Your name was brought to my attention as the person who can help the residents of Colleyville Estates to obtain a sidewalk along our busiest corridor, Colleyville Terrace. The neighborhood is one of great location to schools, City Park, Public Library but unfortunately we have no sidewalks to safely walk to these destinations. As the neighborhood begins to transition, we have many more young families moving in and a greater need for a sidewalk. Because of our proximity to the school there are a number of children that have to walk in the street along Colleyville Terrace until reaching the corner of Pleasant Run. Because Colleyville Terrace is an extra wide street, with a close connection to Church St. (Colleyville Terrace) has become a cut through street for the morning and evening commuter. As a mother who walks frequently with my two first graders, it can be harrowing to walk to the corner of Pleasant Run. I would like the board to consider a sidewalk for our community even if it is only from South Street, down Colleyville Terrace to Pleasant Run. That small bit of cement would make a vast difference in our daily commute to and from school. Thank you for your consideration, Mary Lou Dove 800 Colleyville Terrace Colleyville, TX 76034 817.498.4949 > > n i~nnQ ' ~ ~ O ~/ ( ~ ~ t ~ W f1 w \ ~ ~ Z a '"~ ~ O ; \/ ~ w) / y S O , O I O I O O ~~ _. ~ ~ Ln x C_.i use }i 2 y w , ~~ .~ << m ~ m ~~ ~ ~ b m~o~ c~ ~ ~ o W ,:J s ElZvd ~ F N i v n. ~ N r.
