Approval of the Roadway, Water and Wastewater Land Use Assumptions, Capital Improvement Plans and Impact Fees, Case G-06-014 Barry LeBaron presented the case and briefed the Committee members. Aaron Nathan with Kimley Horn and Associates came forward to present the fees calculated for roadway, water and wastewater land use assumptions and impact fees to the Committee members. Committee Member Dudziak questioned staff for clarity if the Committee is to approve the assumptions, not the rates? Barry LeBaron replied the Committee is to consider the recommendations for the plans, City of Colleyville Page 1 Printed on 1/28/2009 Capital Improvements Advisory Minutes -Final June 12, 2006 Committee assumptions and the rates. Barry LeBaron and Mr. Nathan entered into a discussion regarding the rates being calculated for the surrounding communities. Committee Member Larry Cole stated the fees are being collected from the developers for the portion of the road they are impacting, however, it appears there is not any real intent to build these roads. He stated not remembering Heritage Avenue being on the original assumption. What is the road impact fee right now in each service area? Barry LeBaron replied on the east side of SH26 is $1962 and the west side of SH26 is $1589. The water rate is $1866 and the sewer rate is $140. Committee Member Larry Cole stated not having issues with the water and sewer rates, however, the road impact fees are an issue since there are not any new roads. Committee Member Byerly questioned Mr. Nathan regarding what percent our existing fees are based on recovering and then if you know some of these other cities like what percent of their cost is being recovered by these rates on the chart provided? Mr. Nathan replied Southlake is in the 40 to 50 percent, Keller is below 50 percent because they do not do the credit calculation. With your existing ordinance, you are almost at 100 percent based on the calculations. Mr. Nathan questioned staff regarding what percentages are the maximum? Barry LeBaron replied in 2001 when the rates were set, the water was at 82 percent of the max and sewer was 100 percent of max and roadway was 100 percent unless it was a sales tax generating business, then it was 65 percent credit, only charging 35 percent. Committee Member Bartkowski questioned why would a city want to collect less than the maximum that they are entitled to? Mr. Nathan replied the burden can be shifted to a front end cost like the developer, so for sales tax uses, you would not want to stunt growth. There are some communities who come close to the 100 percent, but all they ever do is supplement funds. Committee Member Bartkowski questioned Mr. Nathan regarding if the escrow that is in the fund has an impact on the fees being assessed, how much of the fees collected has not been utilized? Mr. Nathan stated not considering those fees in the calculations. Barry LeBaron stated he would get a copy of those funds that are available in those accounts. Committee Member Bartkowski questioned if those funds would make a difference? Mr. Nathan replied those are included in the assumptions for the development. Committee Member City of Colleyville Page 2 Printed on 1/zsizuua Capital Improvements Advisory Minutes -Final Committee June 12, 2006 Bartkowski stated some of that money would off set the money needed to complete that capital improvement project. Mr. Nathan replied correct and that is reflected in these figures. Committee Member Larry Cole stated these fees are collected and the only streets that are being built are around schools and intersections. He stated new homeowners are paying these fees and there are not any new roads being built. Committee McCormick questioned Mr. Nathan how the new impact fee projects were listed? Mr. Nathan stated being limited to those that are identified on the Master Plan Thoroughfare Plan. Committee Member McCormick questioned Mr. Nathan if any changes were made considering the changes that will be made to SH26? Mr. Nathan questioned as far as discounting the exhibiting demand? Committee Member McCormick replied yes. Mr. Nathan replied looking at the projects on a system level regarding the travel in the old service area, not on a service by service area. The thoroughfare plan being what is needed for the build out of the community. Barry LeBaron stated the Committee may want to look at the Master Thoroughfare Plan to see if there are other facilities that need to be part of the collector system. Committee Member Byerly opened the public hearing at 7:40 PM. There being no one wishing to speak, Committee Member Byerly closed the public hearing at 7:40 PM. Barry LeBaron stated the Committee may want to consider tabling this item until the next meeting to be able to study this more in depth. In the mean time, staff can put together some tables to explain the percentages of the fees that were discussed tonight. Committee member Taylor stated wanting to see what is already in the funds that has already been collected. Barry LeBaron replied he would get the amounts for the next meeting. Committee Member Dudziak questioned Committee Member Larry Cole what is his opinion about the fees to be collected in a developer or builders perspective? Committee Member Larry Cole replied not being against the impact fee system, the city has to have something to work with. From a builders point of view, as long as Colleyville is doing everything they can do and are competitive with other communities and are not on the high end, it is ok. City of Colleyville Page 3 Printed on 1/28/2ouy Capital Improvements Advisory Minutes -Final Committee June 12, 2006 Committee Member Dudziak questioned Mr. Nathan if these calculations have been done with a higher percentage than in the past based on the higher density developments over the past several years? Barry LeBaron replied using the master plan and based that on the 1.8 units per acre and applied that to those areas that are still undeveloped, realizing that you also have some areas with higher density. The commercial areas were looked at, considering how many new businesses are shown on the master plan. Committee Member Dudziak stated because of the higher density areas, these impact fees may not be large enough to accommodate those densities. Committee Member Larry Cole stated look at the other developments that are three or five acres, this city will never get to the 1.8 that is used for these calculation. Committee Member Larry Cole questioned Mr. Nathan regarding the sewer assumptions, why is it a six inch sewer line, on a private owners property, going to Heritage, why should the rest of the developers fund that for that developer? Mr. Nathan replied distributing those fees equally across the city. It becomes a equal exercise over the whole city. Committee Member Larry Cole stated you end up having a 2000 percent increase, going from $140 to $2500. Mr. Nathan stated the biggest dollar amounts come from the TRA projects. Committee Member McCormick stated the traffic at the Hardage Lane signal will increase considerably once the SH26 updates are completed. Mr. Nathan stated that facility is not identified on the Master Thoroughfare Plan. Committee Member McCormick stated it might need to be. Mr. Nathan replied true. Committee Member Dudziak stated those corrections would need to be made now while we are in the calculating stages. Mr. Nathan questioned Committee Member McCormick if the facility at Hardage Lane would be rehabilitated or complety re-done? Committee Member McCormick replied rehabilitated. Mr. Nathan stated then it would not qualify for the funds. Committee Member Blassingame questioned Mr. Nathan how the $18 million in roadway fees is recovered? Mr. Nathan replied those are the fees being discussed tonight if the 100 percent were taken. Commissioner Blassingame questioned where is the rest of the money coming from since we are at 15 percent right now, but negotiating 35 percent? Mr. Nathan replied the difference between the 82 and the 18 would need to come from. Committee Member Blassingame replied not having enough of an impact to get these roads completed no matter City of Colleyville Page 4 Printed on 1/28/2009 Capital Improvements Advisory Minutes -Final Committee June 12, 2006 where we set this. Committee Member Bartkowski replied some of those costs should be off set with some of the money that has already been collected. Committee Member Taylor stated staff will be getting the fund amounts for the next meeting. Committee Member Larry Cole questioned staff if the totals are going to reflect as far back as 1990? Barry LeBaron replied should be able to do so. Committee Member Larry Cole stated it being a good idea to see what is in the funds currently. Committee Member Blassingame stated, before running off developers because of the rate being so high, at least try and determine where the rest of the money is to come from. Committee Member Dudziak stated that not being this Committee's role to suggest or have control over the Master Plan or the priorities. He stated wanting Glade Road to be a four lane road, but really does not have a say in doing so. A motion was made by Committee Member Blassingame and seconded by Committee Member Taylor that this matter be tabled. The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 7 - McCormick, Dudziak, Bartkowski, Taylor, Blassingame, Cole, Byerly Absent: 2 -Duffy, Wayne 5. REPORTS AND COMMENTS 6.
