City Council Minutes November 3, 2010
Mayor Kelly stated the following individual did not wish to speak but
wished to record opposition to the proposed ordinance: Anne Dyson.
There were no others wishing to speak and Mayor Kelly closed the public
hearing.
Community Development Director Ruthven provided information
regarding a vapor recovery unit and Federal Emergency Management
Association (FEMA) designations for land in a flood plain and stated the
applicant submitted a detailed flood study that meets FEMA
requirements.
City Engineer Jeremy Hutt stated the flood study showed no adverse
effects to the development, work is not allowed in the flood way and
provided information regarding the capacity of the compost berm.
Community Development Director Ruthven stated with the approval of
Chapter 3.1, an applicant will have to submit specific detailed pipeline
plans. Because this application was submitted before the new standards
were adopted, that was not a requirement. However, we do have a
potential pipeline route for this request. When the applicant applies for a
permit, the City Council will still have to approve the pipeline
configuration.
There was general discussion regarding the authority of the City and
Railroad Commission related to a pipeline route, the ability of Titan to
provide a pipeline plan, timeline for providing a pipeline route to City
Council and construction of a pipeline, the need for and use of vapor
recovery units and the type of screening.
Councilmember Taylor requested Mr. Hammack, state for the record,
that Titan understands the drilling is not in outlying markets; that the
drilling is in a populated area with very high valued homes and we take
great pride in our neighborhoods. Please state for the record that you
understand those differences and provide additional explanation related
to the contractors.
Mr. Hammack stated we do understand this is a different nature and we
do drill in other urban environments in and around the metroplex;
Colleyville is not the only one. We can show some examples of sites in
Arlington, which are not much different than they are here in Colleyville.
We are experienced in what we are doing. It was mentioned that we
have only been around for two years and that is a fair statement to make
but the principles of the company have been around the Barnett since
the beginning of the horizontal times so we are considered old timers in
the industry. What we are doing and is much different that you would
see in a rural setting is the type of the equipment we use. We have

City Council City Council Minutes November 3, 2010
talked a little bit about the Flex Four S, which is an electric rig, with only
about 30 in the country and is a very specialized rig for emissions,
sound, for light, for the ability. The contractors that Titan uses are
trained to work inside urban environments; it is very different from what
is being done in Hood County. We make sure the contractors
understand the environment and Titan personally supervises these
things.
Mayor Pro Tem Ayers asked the City Attorney to explain the pipeline
procedure and I know in other cases, that the City Council is able to pass
Special Use Permits with contingency and could one of those
contingencies be that this SUP will not pass and become effective unless
there is some issue resolving the pipeline situation. So, two-part
question, explain the process and then the issue of the contingency.
City Attorney Boyle stated the process that was just adopted by the City
Council tonight for pipelines mandates that the City Council approve the
routing of any pipeline within the city limits of the City of Colleyville. So,
that is what has been instituted now. What you have in that ordinance
for future SUP applications is it forces a marrying of timing between the
pipeline and padsite development to say you are not going to get an
SUP unless you correspondingly have a pipeline plan in place at the
same time. To answer your second question on this contingency issue, I
believe in looking at the draft ordinance between now and the next
meeting, it would be possible to look at language that would allow for a
potential favorable approval of this SUP, but tie its effective date or its
effectiveness for use to a subsequent approval of the corresponding
pipeline plan consistent with the new 3.1.
Mayor Pro Tem Ayers asked the City Attorney if that affects these folks
ability to proceed with their project subject to that approval process of the
pipeline.
City Attorney Boyle stated the challenge it appears these gentlemen are
presenting is one of timing and a catch 22 about which comes first, the
chicken or the egg, meaning the SUP or the pipeline. I believe you have
the ability through revised language in the ordinance to lock down the
SUP and then use that as a basis upon which to tie down the pipeline
permit so that when those two are ultimately achieved, they go into effect
at the same time.
