City of Colleyville Page 2
WS-2 Classification and Compensation Study update
Human Resources Director Rachel Huitt presented this item and briefed the City
Council.
Mayor Newton stated he believes even though employees may receive a
substantial pay raise to reach market pay, they should also be provided a merit, if
they perform accordingly.
Councilmember Dodson asked staff what is the merit pool percentage. Director
Huitt replied the merit pool usually varies from three to four percent, and
employees’ performance determines the percentage received. Mayor Newton
added the merit pool represents a cash pool.
Councilmember Dodson stated it is not feasible to provide everyone with 3.5
percent raises. Director Huitt stated for budgeting purposes an amount of money
is set aside for merit, which is usually 3.5 percent. The percentage received by
individual varies per their performance evaluation.
Councilmember Nakamura asked Mayor Newton if he has changed his thought
process on the merit. Mayor Newton replied yes, we are taking everyone to market
minimum within their range, beginning October 1, and when the performance
evaluations are provided in April, if those same employees are eligible for a merit,
then they will also get the merit increase. He added there is a possibility of falling
below the minimum in the ranges if we do not continue to provide for merit
increases.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood asked staff how someone who is already topped out
can receive more than top out. City Manager Jerry Ducay replied the ranges are
projected to move annually according to the Consumer Price Index, or by a
substantial adjustment every three to five years.
Councilmember Wheat asked Mayor Newton if the plan is to do the comprehensive
study every three years. Mayor Newton replied yes.
Councilmember Wheat asked staff if we have been doing this study every three
years. Director Huitt replied yes, the last two years the ranges have been
adjusted, but not the employees.
Mayor Newton added the approach to doing the study needs to be assessed
because only comparing to the area cities is not going to continue to work, we
may need to include selected private sector businesses as well as cities in the
market evaluation.

and Communications Mark Wood presented this item and updated the City Council.

Councilmember Taylor asked staff if Taco Casa is building a new building. Director
Wood replied yes, at Murphy Road and Precinct Line Road.

in the center next to Verizon. Director Wood replied the project had stalled, but it

planned to be removed. City Manager Jerry Ducay replied yes, they are scheduled
to be removed on Saturday, September 9. Councilmember Coplen stated she
would like to see what is being planned.
Councilmember Nakamura asked staff if the Village VOA is helping to pay for the
beautification efforts in the Village. City Manager Jerry Ducay replied staff will

Village properties.

Mayor Newton asked Ms. Waters about the products Lidle sells. Ms. Waters replied
Lidl is a private label store with some national brands.
Mayor Newton asked Ms. Waters what private label means. Ms. Waters replied
they have their own manufacturers coming from their own distribution centers.
Mayor Newton stated some people equate private labels as cheaper quality. Ms.
Waters replied Lidl offers quality products, at a convenient location, and is
considered a discount grocer.

Ms. Waters replied yes, fresh produce is delivered every day.
Mayor Newton asked Mr. Graham about wetland mitigation and who is this bought
from. Mr. Graham answered and explained the process of wetland mitigation and
the use of mitigation banks.
Mayor Newton asked Mr. Graham if there are multiple mitigation entities to
purchase the mitigation. Mr. Graham replied yes.
Mayor Newton asked Mr. Graham how the mitigation amount was settled upon.
Mr. Graham replied the mitigation bank provided the dollar amount based on the
credit scoring of the wetland.
Mayor Newton asked Mr. Graham if the mitigation costs are the same throughout
the multiple mitigation entities. Mr. Graham replied it depends if it is located in
their primary or secondary service area, and it is cheaper if you are located in the
primary area.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood asked Mr. Graham about the number of parking
spaces. Mr. Graham replied Lidl has a parking standard of 160 spots, and by
City Council Minutes September 5, 2017
City of Colleyville Page 10
reducing the parking from 173 to 160, it created more open space to meet the
requirements.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood asked Mr. Graham if they were able to save more
trees. Mr. Graham replied no, but it has allowed them to plant more along the
frontage.
Councilmember Nakamura asked Mr. Graham about the initial requirement to
replace trees. Mr. Graham replied 182.
Councilmember Dodson asked Mr. Graham what is being done to ensure the water
flows through the property. Mr. Graham replied the water drains from the south,
along SH26 through the outflows and drains through the property. The plan is to
capture the drainage at the front of the property, and route it around the site or
detain it in an underground detention pond.
Councilmember Nakamura asked Mr. Reed if they chose local suppliers for
products. Mr. Reed replied a lot of the produce is sourced locally, and as they
evolve, they will have a team in DFW that is part of the product selection and
vendors and suppliers.
Mayor Newton asked Mr. Reed about the number of stores projected for Texas. Mr.
Reed replied in the triple digits in Texas for the next three to five years.
Councilmember Wheat asked Mr. Reed who are their biggest competitors. Mr.
Reed replied everybody who provides unique products such as Trader Joes. He
added their distribution is comparable to Trader Joes, every month a different
product will be displayed, such as Greek, Italian, etc.
Councilmember Nakamura asked Mr. Reed about their exit strategy, if the
business is not successful. Mr. Reed replied it was stated it would not work in the
UK, and now we outsell that market. If we were not successful, then we would sell
the building or find another function for it because the intent is not to have an
empty building.
Councilmember Taylor suggested adding glass or some other architectural features
to the side facing SH26 to make it more aesthetically appealing. Mayor Newton
stated the architectural scoring needs to be improved and the dumpster in the
front is also not aesthetically appealing, and those appearances are very important
to us.
Mayor Newton asked Mr. Graham if the parking lot islands will be landscaped. Mr.
Graham replied yes.
City Council Minutes September 5, 2017
City of Colleyville Page 11
Mayor Newton asked Mr. Graham if the right-of-way buffer will go away with the
completion of SH26. Mr. Graham replied no, the right-of-way has been dedicated
for SH26 and the 20 foot landscaped buffer will remain.
Mayor Newton asked Mr. Graham if the cart storage will be screened, and if so,
with what. Mr. Graham replied there will be a four foot masonry wall.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood asked Mr. Graham if the cart rack could be moved
back, glass in those two sections, and put the dumpster in the back, behind trees.
Mr. Graham replied by moving the cart storage, all will move further into the
parking, and moving the dumpster would then be further from the building from a
user’s standpoint.
Councilmember Coplen asked Mr. Graham if cladding or adding glass (changing
the façade) could be considered; she stated being confused, as a patron, on how
to get into the store. Mr. Graham replied all could be considered.
Councilmember Taylor asked Mr. Reed about the reason or need for 160 parking
spaces. Mr. Reed replied from the business experience based on the east coast,
the parking is necessary.
Mayor Newton asked Mr. Graham the size of the parking space. Mr. Graham
replied 10 x 20.
Mayor Newton asked staff about the parking space width for Walmart and Market
Street. Director Wood replied 10 x 19.
Councilmember Wheat asked Mr. Reed what other businesses tend to be attracted
to settle next to Lidl. Mr. Reed replied Race Trac, QT, restaurants, medical office,
O Reily’s, lots of users.
Councilmember Wheat asked Mr. Reed about the uses next to the facilities on the
east coast. Mr. Reed replied a sushi restaurant and Taco Bell have moved in next
to Lidl.
Mayor Newton asked Mr. Reed why this location in Colleyville. Mr. Reed replied the
population density and usable/disposable income is considered when placing a Lidl,
and Colleyville fits those target demographics. He added they also like to be
around competitive retail.
Mayor Newton asked Mr. Reed what competitive retail is in the area. Mr. Reed
replied Sprouts.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood asked staff about the new parking plan. Director Wood

Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood asked Mr. Byerly if his property was the location in
which a wedding chapel applied. Mr. Byerly replied yes, about five years ago.
Mayor Newton asked Mr. Graham how the drainage is designed for the subject
property. Mr. Graham stated there will be a box culvert to SH26 and then it will
turn southeast to the corner. He stated the box culvert will discharge from the
site, just like it does today, and the increased flow will be detained underground.
Mayor Newton asked Mr. Graham how the underground pond works. Mr. Graham
replied there will be controlled points under the pavement to control the drainage
outflow.
Councilmember Taylor asked Mr. Graham about rotating the building. Mr. Graham
replied it has been considered, but the length of the building and the location of
the loading dock and fire lane prohibit the rotation.
Mayor Newton asked Mr. Graham about changing the look of the exposed wall, like
another façade type. Mr. Graham replied there may be something that can be
considered.
Mayor Newton stated this item will require a super majority to pass. Mayor Pro
Tem Lindamood expressed his appreciation to Lidl and stated he hopes something
can be done to make this work.

sells. Mr. Alfonso replied the shared parking agreement would be for the life of the

homeowner or the contractor.

Bryner replied water heater replacements are required to be permitted, per state
law.
Councilmember Taylor asked staff if it matters if the water heater is gas or
electric. Director Bryner replied it does not matter, and homeowners can replace
their water heaters, but it needs to be inspected.
Mayor Newton asked staff how we justify raising the fees by 100 percent. Director
Bryner replied the cost is to recover staff’s cost of review, reports, and
City Council Minutes September 5, 2017
City of Colleyville Page 17
inspections. He stated we are on the lower end compared to adjacent communities
relative to plat fees.

requests; what does staff have to do on their end. Director Bryner replied staff
would provide the staff reports to bring it forward to City Council. Mayor Newton
stated this would actually be staff’s job.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood stated the water heater replacement fee does seem to
be high for residents, especially if they are doing the work themselves.
Mayor Newton asked staff how many of these are actually submitted for
permitting. Director Bryner replied he can provide a report for those permits
pulled.
Councilmember Taylor stated the resident is paying for those services, but a
builder is profiting from a new build. He stated he does agree with the inspection
process, especially for safety. He stated he does not agree with the homeowner
being charged. Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood suggested having a contractor fee
versus a homeowner fee. Councilmember Taylor agreed.

6. RESOLUTION(S): READING AND PUBLIC HEARING
6a Resolution R-17-4171
Consideration of a minor plat for the Stowe Addition, on property legally
described as Tract 2A, Abstract 1692, in the Joseph White Survey,
located at 816 Shelton Drive, Case PC17-005
Mayor Newton read Resolution R-17-4171 in its entirety.
Community Development Director Ben Bryner presented this item and briefed the
City Council.
Councilmember Nakamura asked staff if the 40 foot setback puts the house in the
same location as the house to the north. Director Bryner replied yes, with both
facing Pleasant Run Road.
Councilmember Dodson asked staff if the setback is 40 feet from Shelton Drive as
well. Director Bryner replied they requested a 30 foot setback, and the Planning
and Zoning Commission approved that waiver.
Councilmember Wheat asked staff how this request is any different than the
previous zoning change request. Director Bryner replied that was an actual zoning
change and upon approval of that, the plat waivers would not be required. This
request keeps the AG zoning district.
Councilmember Wheat asked staff if these waivers are the only ones that can be
requested. Director Bryner replied the only other waiver would be to the lot
coverage percentage, but that would only be approved by the Zoning Board of
Adjustment, but they would have to prove a hardship.
Councilmember Taylor asked staff if they believe it really needs a 40 foot setback
from Pleasant Run Road, as he believes there was some debate about needing that
much street frontage. Mayor Newton replied the neighbor next door has the same
setback. Councilmember Wheat stated she does not believe the previous concerns
from the neighbors are being addressed with this plat request. Mayor Newton
stated this protects nothing, the plat waivers have the same effect as the previous
requested R20 zoning change.
Jeff Avery, applicant, presented this item and briefed the City Council.

Director Bryner replied the plat was approved before the building permit was
issued. Councilmember Wheat stated the property owner stated the properties
were split by the family members.
Mayor Newton stated being uncomfortable when people do not know about what is
going on. Mr. Avery replied one of the Planning and Zoning Commissioners lives
close to this property, and there was no opposition to this request at the Planning
and Zoning Commission meeting.
Mayor Newton suggested tabling this request and re-notifying the property
owners.
Councilmember Taylor stated having concerns about property rights. City Attorney
Whitt Wyatt provided an explanation about property rights, and the request
proposed this evening as official action, and not action to remove value from the
property.
Councilmember Taylor asked staff if the property owner can appeal this request to
the Zoning Board of Adjustments and claim a hardship. City Attorney Whitt Wyatt
replied a new application can be made to ZBA, but any new attempts or ideas for
variances would go through a process, but this item is only for a plat.
Mayor Newton suggested this item be tabled to re-notify the property owners.
Councilmember Taylor stated being concerned about the plat expiration. Director
Bryner replied there is a 30 day waiver signed for statutory plat requirements;
however, property owners are not notified of a single lot plat, and letters have not
been sent.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood suggested the applicant should bring an exhibit with
the placement of the proposed home. Mr. Avery explained the location of the
proposed home.
