READING AND PUBLIC BEARING - Resolution R-92-738 - Precinct Line Road Improvements Mayor Hawkins opened the Public Hearing and read Resolution R-92-738 in its entirety. Mr. Tim Hamm, 6609 Precinct Line Road, Kerri Hodge, 6701 Precinct Line Road, and Phillip Casey, 6703 Precinct Line Road, spoke in opposition to the widening of Precinct Line Road to seven lanes stating they made inquiries prior to moving to the City of Colleyville and were told this roadway would not be widened past three lanes. They stated the cities of Hurst and North Richland Hills will be benefitted more than Colleyville; therefore, the roadway should be changed so that it intersects into Davis Boulevard rather than going through Colleyville. They stated concerns regarding speed limits, ingress and egress to their homes, the safety of their children, and the possibility of this becoming a business road rather than a residential street. Ms. Judy Ruggere, 1013 W. Lavaca Trail, and Mr. Wayne Deaton, owner of B & W Cabinets, stated they support the widening of Precinct Line Road, but expressed concerns with who would have jurisdiction over the roadway, and whether there would be a median or a center turn-lane. Ms. Ruggere stated she feels a center turn-lane would be the better of the two. Mr. Deaton stated he had always gotten good response from the City of Colleyville's Police and Fire Departments when their assistance was needed. Ms. Sammie Bolling, 6712 Curtis Road, stated she has known for many years that Precinct Line Road would be widened; but that she did not feel the Resolution before the Council expressed the feelings of the people of Colleyville. She suggested tabling this issue until the concerns are addressed. Mayor Hawkins asked if there were others in the audience to speak concerning this item. There being none, Mayor Hawkins closed the Public Hearing and asked the Council for comments or questions. Councilman Newton stated he felt the citizens had legitimate concerns and that he was not in favor of the Resolution as it is written, but agreed that the road needed improving. He also recommended the City make a statement at the meeting with the Highway Department on January 15, 1992, as to the City's position, relaying the concerns as they have been stated. Councilperson Feigel stated she felt there are too many unanswered questions and that this roadway is going to impact the future development, likely being commercial. She stated she feels the City should carefully look at what that impact will be; whether it will enhance or be negative. Councilman McKnight stated he also has concerns with the roadway being seven lanes. He also stated the City of Colleyville should go to the meeting with the Highway Department with a message expressing the City's concerns. He also stated he could not support the construction of seven lanes. Councilman McKain stated he would be satisfied with the same cross section as was proposed for Cheek-Sparger Road, that he felt it allowed for traffic flow, aesthetic benefits, and allowed for speed to be controlled. He stated he did have a concern with "ownership" of the roadway. ~ councilperson Ahlers explained that she would not vote for this Resolution as written, but stated she did not know how much power the City has in this situation. She stated that the City is going to grow, that the City has obligations to try to improve transportation, but that we should not be forced to be a part of something the citizens of Colleyville do not want. Councilperson Ahlers stated the City should send a message to the Highway Department stating the City of Colleyville recognizes Precinct Line Road needs to be improved and widened; but not to seven lanes. -3- CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 7, 1992 Mayor Hawkins stated the State Highway Department does not always notify the City's they deal with, as to what their plans are ahead of time. He also stated the Highway Department has indicated that they are not interested in negotiating the size of the roadway. He advised that the City of North Richland Hills is supporting this seven-lane roadway, because it would bring many businesses to their city. Councilman Newton moved to approve Resolution R-92-738 changing Section 2 to read, "That the City does not support the specific design cross section recommended by the Highway Department," and adding a Section 4 stating, "That the City requests a meeting with representatives of the Highway Department and other interested cities to resolve cross section issues." Councilperson Feigel seconded the motion. Ayes: Nays: Councilpersons Ahlers, Newton, McKain, Feigel, and McKnight None Mayor Hawkins declared the motion carried. 6. 3RD READING AND PUBLIC HEARING - Ordinance 0-91-844 - Amending the Zoning Ordinance at the request of Montclair Parc, Inc., Case Z-91-926, zoning Change Request, AG to R20, 6.028 acre tract out of the S.C.H. Witten Survey, Abstract 1619, Tracts 1Q, 1Q1, 1C, 1K - an addition to Montclair Parco (West side of Montclair) Mayor Hawkins opened the Public Hearing and read the caption of Ordinance 0-91- 844. Mr. Charles Foster, 5105 Montclair, stated he was concerned with the original Montclair Parc being so closely examined prior to approval, and this project not being closely examined in regard to drainage problems and impact of traffic on Montclair Drive. He stated this development, as he remembered, was passed contingent on the developer providing two entrances/exits, and he did not feel the developer was providing two entrances/exits as requested. Mr. Rich Munson, 1905 Hall Road, stated his understanding was that the second of the two entrance/exit was to be used for emergency vehicles only. He stated that other subdivisions in the City of Colleyville only have one entrance/exit, and that he felt this made the subdivision much safer, lowered the crime rate, and felt the police department would prefer one entrance/exit. Mr. Munson stated he supported one entrance/exit to the subdivision. Mayor Hawkins asked if there were others in the audience to speak concerning this item. There being none, Mayor Hawkins closed the Public Hearing and asked the Council for comments or questions. Mr. Ross Calhoun, applicant, stated this additional six acres was included in the drainage studies of both the consultant and the City and was considered as a piece of property that was fully developed. He also stated the traffic consultant looked at the additional land that was obtained, being five lots, and that those five lots would generate three trips in the morning and five additional trips in the afternoon, during peak periods. The traffic consultant indicated these lots would have no affect on the capacity, the area roadways and study intersections are adequate according to the development plan. Mr. Calhoun reviewed the plan before the Council stating they are proposing to build two roadways within the subdivision, approximately 20' wide on either side of a boulevard. He stated they are concerned with safety and they are proposing to have two entrance/exits, one having a Knox Lock to be used for emergencies only. He stated this proposal was for security reasons and to eliminate cut-through traffic. He also stated they would have a lake with a fountain and landscaping that will be attractive to the area and asked for permission to have the dual lane entrance with a boulevard, and 60' feet of right-of-way. -4- CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 7, 1992 Councilperson Feigel asked about the status of the drainage facility in Stonecrest, stating there had been some changes requested previously. Mr. Stripling advised the changes had not been made at this time, but they were on a list to be done. He stated the design of the change in the outfall had to be confirmed to be sure it was designed to hold enough water, but at the same time not back up. He stated the confirmation had been received. In answer to questions of councilperson Feigel, Mr. Calhoun stated the key to the Stonecrest detention, is that all of the water is focused at that point and the lake upstream will be built before we proceed downstream so that the water is detained as soon as it enters the property. The last lake will have a small detention, a 12" pipe will be the last section of the development. He stated he hoped this could be accomplished prior to spring rains. He also stated that there were no plans for excavation for the property in question for a while, due to the preliminary and final plats and plans needing approval. Mr. Calhoun advised the Council that the developer of Stonecrest is prepared to build as soon as the plans are approved by the City. He also stated this additional property was acquired to increase the size and capacity of the retention pond. Councilman McKnight moved to approve Ordinance 0-91-844. councilperson Ahlers seconded the motion. Councilman Newton raised a question concerning the entrance/exits being addressed in the motion. Councilman McKnight and Councilperson Ahlers withdrew the motion and second. councilman McKain stated when this was addressed originally, staff recommended a second entrance/exit. He asked if this was going to be addressed as part of the motion on this item.

Councilperson Ahlers seconded the motion. Ayes: Councilpersons Ahlers, Newton, McKain, Feigel, and McKnight Nays: None Mayor Hawkins declared the motion carried.

In answer to a question of Councilman Newton concerning the Deed Restrictions regarding storage buildings, Mr. Raman Chandler stated the Deed Restrictions do not prevent a storage building from being built, but provides that any construction be at least 80% masonry. He stated the Deed Restrictions do not specifically address storage buildings, but simply states "any structure" must comply with the 80% masonry requirement. Councilman Newton recommended that Mr. Chandler revise the Deed Restrictions to specifically address storage buildings. Councilman Newton also stated, regarding landscaping and sprinkler requirements, he would like to see wording added concerning the non-use of timberous materials, such as railroad ties. In answer to questions of Councilman Newton concerning the blank space in the paragraph regarding roofing materials and the wording concerning the requirements of how quickly a home must be built, Mr. Chandler stated they had not decided whether they wanted to restrict the materials to wood shingles, or not. He stated the provisions concerning the length of time allowed for construction are included to protect the subdivision in the event a builder cannot complete construction, so that the developer can complete the home. Councilperson Feigel stated she was interested in looking at Deed Restrictions for Summertree and asked Mr. Chandler to provide a copy. He stated they were basically the same as what is being proposed for Caldwell Creek. He also stated the square footage is smaller for Caldwell Creek, that Summerbrook was increased to a minimum of 3,250 square feet, and Summertree is 2,500 square feet on the perimeter lots and 3,000 square feet on the interior lots. In answer to a question of Councilperson Feigel concerning carports, Mr. Chandler stated these restrictions are the same as what has been used in other subdivisions allowing for carports to be built with explicit construction requirements, but that he did not know of any carport that had been built. He further stated he did not believe a carport alone would be allowed, but only in addition to a garage. Mayor Hawkins stated he felt some of the wording in Section 1 of the Ordinance had been left out that would refer to the Deed Restrictions and stated if it is the intent of the Council to make this a part of the Zoning Ordinance, this could be added prior to the third reading and that the Ordinance would also make reference to exhibits that were submitted as part of the zoning. Councilman Newton asked Alan Linford, Park Board Chairman, to review the findings of the Park Board regarding the open space in this subdivision. Mr. Linford stated this was discussed at the Park Board meeting on Thursday, January 2, 1992, and that their concerns included 800 - 1000 feet of potential alley that the Park Board viewed as a security risk and recommended some type of public access. Public access was also a concern, the Board felt there should be some linkage between various parks facilities along the railroad track and felt there should be some public access to that area. He stated the Board had a concern for the lack of parking for maintenance vehicles, that there were only allowances for street parking. -7- CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 7, 1992 Councilperson Feigel asked if Mr. Linford had a wood fence in mind, and stated that the developer was talking about wrought iron fencing. She asked if Mr. Linford was talking about visual security. Mr. Linford advised that the female members of the Park Board stated they would not like to be in that environment, that they would prefer more public access. Mr. Linford stated another concern the Park Board had was some type of security between the property line and the railroad track. He recommended for the park site an 8' chain-link fence and also in this area for safety purposes. In answer to a question of Councilperson Feigel, Mr. Chandler stated that their intent was to build a wood fence along the railroad track right-of-way and as the homes were built, they would build wrought iron or masonry fences at the rear of the lots in accordance with the deed restrictions. Councilman Newton stated he would like to see the provisions for wood fencing, the look of the entrance and ponds, made a part of the site plan and a part of the Ordinance. Mr. Chandler stated the ponds would be a size adequate to retain the water on site and that will be attractive to the subdivision. He stated the ponds will be approximately four to five feet deep at the deepest point and would be shallow at the edge. In answer to a question of Councilman Newton, he stated algae will grow in approximately 4 feet of water. Councilman Newton stated he would like to see at the third reading the site plan with notations of the amenities. 11. 2ND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING - Ordinance 0-91-849 - Amending the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Colleyville, Texas, by amending the official zoning map and changing the zoning of the Harrell Hughes Survey, Abstract 656 (12.889 Acres), a portion of Tracts 4, 3, 3A, and the H.

There was no one present to speak concerning this item and Mayor Hawkins closed the Public Hearing. In answer to a question of Councilman Newton, Mr. Chandler stated they have considered platting the property along John McCain as larger lots, but believe as long as the zoning allows a replatting at a later date if necessary, would like to go on with the platting as seven lots that would be 40,000 square feet each. He stated the plat would be submitted showing seven lots rather than 14, but would like to preserve the R-20 zoning. Mayor Hawkins suggested looking at the possibility of 30,000 foot lots. Mr. Chandler stated they had looked at this possibility, but decided for marketing reasons, the 40,000 square foot lots would be more beneficial. In answer to a question of Councilperson Feigel, Mr. Chandler explained the Deed Restrictions would be the same for this zoning as for PUD, including the homeowners association. 12. 2ND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING - Ordinance 0-91-854 - Authorizing issuance of $2,750,000 of General Obligation Bonds for Street, Drainage, and Park Improvements Mayor Hawkins opened the Public Hearing and read the caption of Ordinance 0-91- 854. -8- CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 7, 1992 There was no one present to speak concerning this item and Mayor Hawkins closed the Public Hearing. 13. 1ST READING AND PUBLIC BEARING - Ordinance 0-92-856 - Amending the Zoning Ordinance to allow two real-estate sales offices per subdivision Mayor Hawkins opened the Public Hearing and read Ordinance 0-92-856 in its entirety.

He stated this would be a Board made up of residents who are interested in the arts which would possibly start with a children's family theater, or an amphitheater in one of the city's parks to hold concerts or lectures. He also stated there could be arranged a festival of events for the citizens, and maybe in the future a small arts complex that would house art, music, dance, and drama. In answer to questions of Councilperson Feigel, Mr. Vigiletti stated as long as the Board was non-profit, grants could be applied for and that the City's present facilities could be used to house activities until some future date when other facilities could be built. Mr. McKain asked if there would be a need for staff support for the first year. Mr. Vigiletti stated there would be no need for staff support in the first year that he could foresee.

Mr. Alan Linford stated this design was to capture the elements they eventually would like to see in the final plan and that hopefully the design phase would begin on January 8, 1992. He stated that the timetable is very tight, and that their hope is to have the park ready for use in the Fall of 1993. -10- CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 7, 1992 Mr. Terry Cheek, Schrickel, Rollins, and Associates, Inc., reviewed the plans and stated the parking serves dual functions to collect drainage and take it to the lower portion of the site to where the water can flow off the site. He also stated there would be additional parking in the church parking lot adjacent to this site. He stated there would be a right-turn lane at the entrance, that the park would have a landscape berm at the entrance, that the lighting would be at a minimum safe level, and that the park would be created so as to be used as a family park as well as a soccer facility. In answer to a question of Mayor Hawkins, Mr. Cheek stated the parking areas would have to be paved in order to serve in the drainage capacity as described by Mr. Cheek earlier which would include the parking proposed for the TU property. Mayor Hawkins stated a concern with improving property that does not belong to the City and suggested the staff and Council look at right of first refusal concerning this property. Councilman McKain stated that the lease conditions state that if the property is sold, the City would be required to return the property to its original condition; therefore, having to remove the parking surface. Councilman Newton stated a concern for the Master Plan not allowing for enough parking spaces for the park site. It was brought out that the church site could be used for parking for tournament events, but that the proposed parking area within the park would be adequate for a normal day. In answer to a question of Councilperson Feigel, Mr. Linford stated that there could be up to 500-600 cars on opening day. In answer to a question of Councilperson Ahlers, Mr. stripling stated there would be provisions in the agreement between the City and the Church in the event the church property was sold. In answer to a question of Councilman Newton, Mr. Linford stated the site is to be graded, the entire site to be irrigated and a lot of the parking constructed. He stated he believed the grass is to be installed by sprigging. He also stated the plan is to be seeding or sprigging grass by June, 1992. Councilperson Feigel asked if the lack of the lighting system being installed in the first phase would present a problem. It was brought out that the final decisions had not been made and that they would be lobbying for the lighting to be installed in the first phase also. Councilperson Ahlers moved to accept the concept of the Master Plan. Councilman McKain seconded the motion. Ayes: Nays: Councilpersons Ahlers, Newton, McKain, Feigel, and McKnight None Mayor Hawkins declared the motion carried. Councilman Newton brought out that the possibility of purchasing the TU Electric property should be considered in the planning of this project. ~ -11- CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 7, 1992 20. DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF NON-RESIDENT RECREATION FEE Councilman McKain requested to move this item to the next regular agenda. Mr. Linford stated he would like the Council to take action on this item due to the immediate implementation that is proposed. He stated soccer registration would be held January 11, 1992, and he would like to see the fee imposed at that time. The Council discussed the proposed implementation of the fee immediately, and the publicly notifying the residents. It was brought out that there are approximately 30-35% non-residents in each activity. Councilman Newton requested information concerning the scale of fees. Mr. Linford reviewed the scale briefly. It was suggested to send flyers to those who have participated in prior years and implement this fee during baseball season. Mr. Linford stated he did not feel this fee would be a barrier to participation and he did not feel it is inappropriate for families to expect this type of fee. It was the consensus of the Council that this would be acceptable and that this $10.00 per family would not hinder participation. Councilperson Feigel stated she felt the only concern would be where these funds would be held. Councilman McKain moved to postpone this item until the next regular Council meeting. The motion died for lack of a second. The Council held discussion concerning the earmarking of the funds collected being deposited in the general fund or parks fund. Councilperson Ahlers moved to approve the non-resident Recreation Fee as proposed with the designation of fund account to be discussed at the next regular Council meeting.

He read and reviewed portions of the information and requested to be allowed to pay Impact Fees only, up front. Councilman Newton stated he would be willing to make a proposal allowing Larry Cole Company to pay only the Impact Fees. Mr. Wilkinson explained rather than paying perimeter road fees and getting credit for impact fees, he is asking to install temporary drainage, which has been done, and then pay normal impact fees up front. He further explained that the perimeter street fee typically includes drainage fee and that impact fees are used for improvements to perimeter streets and utilities as well as the perimeter street fees. -12- CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 7, 1992 Mr. Wilkinson stated the impact fees he is willing to pay includes the roadway portion being, $1,265.00, the water portion is $620.00, making the total approximately $32,000.00. Councilman Newton raised a question concerning the calculation of impact fees. Mr. Draz explained that under the current City/Developer Agreement the Larry Cole Company would not owe anything. Councilman Newton moved to accept the proposal of Terry Wilkinson to let stand the perimeter street fees that have been paid previously to account for perimeter street fees that we would currently assess and not require those to be paid; but require all impact fees to be paid up front. Councilperson Ahlers seconded the motion. Ayes: Nays: Councilpersons Ahlers, Newton, McKain, and McKnight Councilperson Feigel Mayor Hawkins declared the motion carried.
