PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION 2a Discussion regarding tabled Ordinance-O-18-2056 - Consideration of a zoning change from the R-40 Single Family Residential zoning district and AG Agricultural zoning district to the PUD-R Planned Unit Development-Residential zoning district on Lot 1R1 and 1R2, Block 1, of the Bear Creek Plantation, located at 1312 John McCain Road and 7309 Holly Lane N, Case ZC18-019 Mayor Newton stated the purpose of this worksession is to allow the City Council to talk about the Oak Alley development and get everyone up to speed on what has occurred to this point. He noted that he, and other Councilmembers, have spent a lot of time on this case and have talked with the neighbors adjacent to the Oak Alley development more than the City Council. He said it is important the City Council have the opportunity to discuss the case together as a group so they all have the same information about the development. The Council is the voting body that will make the decision based on data and facts relevant to the application, rather than opinions and anecdotal stories. It is important they have the facts. For citizens who may not be familiar with the process, Mayor Newton outlined the City’s process for how a zoning application is received and processed. Mayor Newton stated he is very consistent in the process of receiving citizen input, listening to and documenting all concerns and issues, working to resolve those issues, and ensuring the resolutions are contained in the zoning ordinance documents so the Council and the citizens, can see in writing, how their concerns have been addressed. Further, all of these documents are sent to the citizens for review before the Council meeting in which the decision will be made. City Council Minutes October 25, 2018 City of Colleyville Page 2 Mayor Newton stated this case was tabled at the second reading to a date certain of October 16, 2018, to allow time for the many citizen concerns to be addressed and the details and changes to the zoning documents completed. This item was tabled at the October 16, 2018 meeting because there was a flurry of activity which occurred that Council could not review together in time to make a decision at that meeting. Most notably, Mayor Newton stated the record rains in October have brought up more questions regarding drainage and the flood plain. Mayor Newton stated they would look at all the questions today, but would start with the three drainage questions: 1) Will the runoff from the development raise the level of the creek? 2) Has the flood plain expanded or will it expand in the future based on development upstream of the Oak Alley property? 3) What is the explanation of the recent water flow observed in the flood plain adjacent to the Hidden Acres subdivision (adjacent to Oak Alley)? Public Works Director Ray Silva-Reyes provided a presentation which showed the drainage run-off under pre and post development conditions. He explained there is a net increase of 108 cubic feet per second (cfs) water flow comparing post development to predevelopment. The flow in the creek at flood stage is 18,000 cfs. Mayor Newton asked if the 108 cfs additional water flow after development would raise the creek level at flood stage any at all. Director Silva-Reyes said no since 108 cfs is only .0006 of the 18,000 cfs total flow - answering the first question. Mayor Newton stated City staff found two studies that were done in 2007 and 2014 respectively and that they answer the questions concerning the flood plain boundaries. These studies were a cooperative effort of the cities of Southlake, Colleyville, Halff Associates, and North Central Texas Council of Governments. One of those studies included a projection of the flood plain along the entire creek in the year 2050; accounting for future development that would occur. There was extensive review and discussion of the findings of the reports, how tributaries, creeks, and retention basins function. Mayor Newton showed a map from one study which showed the flood plain boundaries adjacent to Hidden Acres and the Oak Alley development would not expand from where they are today through the year 2050. This answered question 2. City Manager Jerry Ducay then presented a detailed topographic map and explained the flow of water from normal conditions through the flood stage in the area adjacent to the Hidden Acres subdivision. This explanation matched what was observed in actual flow during the recent flood stage event. This answered question 3. Mayor Newton declared a break at 4:30 p.m. and reconvened at 4:41 p.m. City Council Minutes October 25, 2018 City of Colleyville Page 3 The proposed ordinance was discussed item by item, covering the proposed HOA, design standards, cost, size, and quality of the homes, the waterline, the pond, and streets. During this discussion there were a couple of items that were noted to be changed. The City Manager said these changes would be made and the resulting updated documents would be available by Monday noon and would be emailed to all citizens adjacent to the development. Mayor Newton noted the developer has made many costly changes to the proposal in an effort to work with the neighbors and a great deal of time, work, and money has gone into this process – by everyone. Mayor Newton and the City Council thanked everyone, citizens, developer, City staff, and City Council for working through the process. Mayor Newton stated this item will be tabled to the November 20, 2018 meeting, as Mayor Pro Tem Bobby Lindamood will not be at the November 5, 2018 meeting and a super-majority vote will be required. 3. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business before the City Council, Mayor Newton adjourned the worksession at 6:29 p.m. APPROVED BY A VOTE OF 5 AYES, 0 NAYS, AND 0 ABSTENTIONS ON THIS THE 5TH DAY OF NOVEMBER 2018.
