Title
Consideration of a Special Use Permit (SUP) for Oil and Gas Extraction, specifically for
a change in the ownership of the existing well on Tract 1D, Abstract 295, in the William
E Crooks and Lot 1, Block 1, of the Park Place Estates, located at 7404 and 7504
Pleasant Run Road, Case ZC18-035
Explanation
Jason Tackett, the agent for Sage Natural Resources, LLC, has submitted a request to
amend a Special Use Permit (SUP) for a gas well at 7404 & 7540 Pleasant Run Road.
The subject property is zoned AG-Agricultural district. Per the Land Development Code
(LDC), an amendment to the SUP is a requirement for a change in ownership. Gas well
drilling and production is allowed in the AG-Agricultural zoning district with the
approval of an SUP.
Existing Conditions/Background: The subject property is currently developed for
gas well drilling and production. In November of 2010, an SUP was approved for a gas
well drilling and production (O-10-1779) on this property for 14 gas wells. The
ordinance placed a 5 year time limit for all drilling activity to occur.
Proposed Zoning:
Request – The applicant requests an amendment to the existing SUP for an ownership
change to the existing gas well drilling and production site in the AG- Agricultural
zoning district.
The minimum standards for the AG zoning district are as follows:
Minimum Lot Size: 130,680 square feet
Minimum Lot Width: 200 feet
Minimum Lot Depth: 300 feet
Front Building Line: 40 feet
Side Building Line: 25 feet
Rear Building Line: 40 feet
Maximum Lot Coverage: 20 percent
Surrounding Development: The property to the north is zoned PUD-R and is
improved with a single family residential development, the Overlook at Big Bear Creek
Planning and Zoning Commission Agenda Briefing 2a
City of Colleyville Page 2
subdivision. Properties to the east, south, and west are zoned AG- Agricultural and are
utilized with single-family residential as well as agricultural uses.
Proposed Use: According to the Statement of Planning Objectives, the 13.7 acres of
land was acquired by Sage Natural Resources, LLC, and they wish to maintain the
current site with no changes to it at this time.
Ordinance – Chapter 3.1 (Oil and Gas Well Drilling and Production) of the Land
Development Code identifies the purpose of a Special Use Permit as:
Operator: The person listed on the railroad commission form W-1 or form P-4 for a well
as the person that is, has applied for, or will be, actually in charge and in control of
drilling, maintaining, operating, pumping or controlling any well including, without
limitation, a unit operator. If the operator, as defined herein, for any well is not the
lessee of any premises affected by the provisions of this Chapter, then such lessee
shall also be deemed to be an operator. In the event there is no oil and gas lease
relating to any premises affected by this Chapter, the owner of the fee mineral estate
in the premises shall also be deemed an operator.
Section 3.1 – 145 Standards for Oil and Gas Well Drilling and Production
Phasing of Drilling and Production and General Special Use Permit Provisions
1.Any SUP authorized under this ordinance shall only be granted to the entity
named on the original application and may not be transferred to any other
entity without the approval of the City Council. City Council approval shall
be required for any change in ownership of the entity named on the SUP
application for any SUP granted under this chapter.
Analysis – The SUP request up for consideration is consistent with the requirements of
Chapter 3.1 of the Land Development Code. Based on the information provided by the
applicant, the use of the land would remain in its current state. If the applicant desired
to change the state of the site, an additional SUP and its respective permit processes
would have to be pursued.
Comprehensive Plan: The City’s comprehensive plan, Destination Colleyville,
identifies the subject property for residential development. The proposed SUP does not
conflict with any portion of the comprehensive plan.
Public Notification: Staff mailed notices to all property owners within 500 feet as well
as any Homeowners Associations within 1000 feet of the subject property regarding
this request. Grapevine-Colleyville ISD, where the subject property is located, was
notified per State law. Notice was published in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram as
required by State law and the Land Development Code. To date, no correspondence
Planning and Zoning Commission Agenda Briefing 2a
City of Colleyville Page 3
has been received.
Staff Recommendation: The proposed request is for a change in ownership only with
no site changes proposed. Staff recommends approval of the Special Use Permit.

STATEMElVT OF PLANNING OBJECTIVES
TITAN CIPERATIhIG, LLC
TCC SUP
PLAh1NING ~BJECTIVE
The purpase of this SUP is ta establish a wel3 site, a#rac pond, and access road for the drilling,
completion, and operating of multiple gas wells within the areas designated by the SUP Site Pfan.
WELL SITE LOCATI~N
The well site [ocstion for #he Titan TCC wells is identi#ied on the SUP Site Plan. Tifan will drill
multiple horizontal wells from the proposed weU site tn develop appraximately 1300 acres ofi T'rtan
ieases. The proposed gas development will focus on the Barnett Shale, encountered at
subsurtace depths at approximately 8,900 feet.
VEHICULAR ACCESS T4 THE WELL SITE LOCATION
Vehicular access to the well site wili be from SH 26, west on Tinker, north on Pleasant Run Rc~ad,
to the well site entrance.
The drive appraach from Pleasent Run Road will be constructed of concrete. At the entry, a
double gate will be recessed into the property to accommodate truck movements from the
raadway onto the lease road. Fire access wili be provided and the road will be maintained in
accordance with all local, state and federal requirements.
DEVE~OPMENT PHASING
Titan Operating anticipates fhe initial construciian on the TCC pad si#e to begir~ January, 2011.
After canstruction of the pad' site Titan anticipates the drilling of 3 wells; each of which will take
approximately 30 days. Aftee t~e €nitial test Titan anticipates drilling a total of approximately 14
wells off #he si#e aver the next 5 to 7 years. All producing wells will be plugged at the end of their
economic life. All plugging will be in aceordance with applicable Texas Railroad Commission
regulations.
ACGESSt7RY STRUCTURES
Aceessory uses far #he proposed gas deveiopment will include well heads, starage tanks,
separation facilities, and other uses necessary and customary to gas development.
During drilling operations, all equipment will be secured by a chain link fence with a secured
entrance gate. A reflective sign will be posted at the dril! site and operations site identifying the
entrance ta the site and include the well names and numbers, name of the operator, emergency
911 number, and the telephone numbers for 24 haur emergency cantacts.
No refining, except far gas dehydrating and physical phase separation will take place on this site.
Temporary diesel fuel tanks, genera#ors, construction trai(ers, steel mud pits, pipe racks, and
drilling rig ru~i41 be located within the drilling pad site. The drilling rig and associated drilling
2244\007\16659.1
Exhibit C- Statement of Planning Objectives (Cont.)
equipmen# sl~all be remaved fram the we11 site as soon as practicat after completion of the well or
drilling activities.
WATER C(7NSUMPTION
Once well permits have been obtained from the Texas Railroad Commission and the road and
drill site are constructed, drilling can commence. The drillEng of each well will require
approximately 420,000 gallons af water over a three (3) week periad.
Once a well has been dri8ed and determined to have the potential for commercial production, the
completian process will begin. In order for fhe BarneiE Shale to be commercially productive it
must be fracture stimulated. This involves pumping a large amount of water at high pressure into
the formation to create a fracture in the rock. A small amount of sand is mixed with the wa#er to
hold tt~e fracture open once the procedure is complete. This permits the gas to flow more easily
from the rock into the well bore. Each fracture stimulation requires approximately 4.2 million
gallans af water. Once the vvaier is in plaee, the actual stimuEation process will take
approximately eight (8) haurs.
Water for the drilling, as wefl as the fracture stimulatian, will come from a proposed firac pond ofi
approximateiy 1.4 acres to be constructed by the aperator, with water purchas~d from the City or
well water. The water stared in this pond will service muftiple +,vells.
WASTE CC}NTROL
Water and drilling mud utilized during the drilling of the wells wi11 be initiatly stored in closed-loop
drilling fluid systems located on the pad site. Ultimately, the water and drilling mud will be
removed by truck and disposed of in accordance with the requirements of the Texas Railroad
Commission.
Produced water from gas production will be stored in 250 - barrel (bbl) tanks within the well site
location. The tanks will be located within a secondary containment ring with a non-permeable
berm or liner capable of holding one and one-half (1-1t2) times #he capacity of the largest tank.
Drip pots will be located ai pump out connections to contain the liquids frorn the storage tank_
The tanks wil( also be equipped with a sensing device that will shut off the well should the tank
become fufl. The contents of the tank will be emptied by a commercial operator and disposed of
in accordance with the requirements of the Texas Railroad Commission.
FIRE PROTEC710N
All fire suppression and prevention equipment required by an applicable federa~ state or local la4v
wi11 be provided and maintained by the Operator.
All contractors will have partabla fire extinguishers at the drill site and fire extinguishers will be
located at various locatians at the drill site.
The tank battery facility will be equipped with a remote foam line utilizing a fwo and one-half {2.5}
inch National Standard Hose Thread female inlet cannecfion in locations approved by the Fire
Department.
A lightning arrestor system will be instaNed according to the most current edition af the National
Electrica! Code.
At any gate enclosure, the City Fire Marshal will be provided a knox box with a key for emergency
access.

RAINA~E
Wel1-he~ds, metsrs, storage tanks, separatian facilities, or vther past drilling and camp[etion
permanent abave graund faci[ities will be located on a drilf site that is gra~ted in such a manner to
be elevated above the 'f p0-year floodpfain. Erosion car~trol shall eompEy with the erosion cantrol
plan apprvued by tkte City.
ENV1Rt7NMENTA-L
The proposed gas development wil[ !~e in compliance with all state and federal environmental
regulations and will not adversely affect the floodplain, drainage patterns, ar water quality.
Damage to public thoroughfares adjacent to this lease area directly caused by the proposed gas
d~velopment will be restared to city standards, as applicable, as each wel( is completed. Any
damage that poses a safety hazard wi!! be repaired immediately. Any substantial accumuiatians
af dirt, dust, or other debris deposited on pubiic thoroughfares by ga~ development will be
remaved. Dt~st, if significant, will be suppressed by using water or other dust suppressants.
Drilfing and productian aperations shall be conducted in a manner to minimize noise tevels.
Naise from drilling, completion and rework operatians are limited in time from a few days #a a few
weeks. Noise from dril[ing acti~ities will not exceed sixty five (65) decibels at any point three
hundred (300) feet fram the boundary of the drill site. Naise fram fracturing 4perafions wi11 nat
exceed eighty five (8~} decibels at any point three hundred {300} feet from the boundary of the
drill site. Noise fram the operation site will not exceed fifty five {55) decibels beyond the
boundaries shawn on fhe associated site plan.
Lighting will be shielded and directional taward the well site so that it wiB not disturb, be a
n~isance, or safety hazard to adjacent properties, residential are~s, ar public thoroughfares.
SCl~EENING
Per City ardinance, the equipment on the operation site will be screened frorn public view by a
combinatian of screerring shrubs that will be instafEed completely around the well site and the
required screen fence. Irrigatian will be installed as necessary. A11 plant materia! will be kept in
an attractive state and in goad candition.

EVELOPMENT SCHEDULE
Titan Operating anticipates the initial constructian on the TCC pad site to begin the 4~h quarter of
2010. After constructian of the pad site Titan anticipates the drilling of 2 to 4 wells; each of which
will take appraximately 30 days. After the initial test Titan anticipates drilling a total of
approximately 14 wells off the site over the next 5 tc~ 7 years.
ECCtNt3MIC C~EVELC?PMEIVT lhIFtJRWtATION
Titan aperating has spent approximately $1 Q8,300,000 in lease banus dollars in the City af
Ce~lleyville to date. Titan has a~so donated approximately $340,Odfl to lacal cYrarities. Titan
estimates that a typical well drilled off the pad site will generate approximately $23Q,000 per well
in ad valorem taxes for the city over a 15 year period.

3rd floor of City Hall, 100 Main Street, Colleyville, Texas
Request: Consideration of a Special Use Permit (SUP) for Oil and Gas Extraction.
The SUP is a requirement for a change in ownership of the existing gas
well. Zoning Case: ZC18-035 Applicant: Jason Tackett Owner: Sage Natural Resources LLC Location: 7404 & 7504 Pleasant Run Road Property Description: Tract 1D, Abstract 295, in the William E Crooks and Lot 1, Block 1, of the Park Place Estates Present Zoning: AG Agricultural
This notice has been sent to all owners of real property within 500 feet of the request as such ownership
appears on the last approved tax roll and all homeowners associations within 1000 feet. Approval by the
Planning and Zoning Commission serves as a recommendation to the City Council and is not a final action
on the request. Denial of the proposal by the Commission is final, unless the applicant submits a written
notice of appeal within 10 days from the date of action by the Commission. If appealed, the request will
be placed on the next available City Council agenda as listed above. Rezoning requests, zoning
amendments and conditions recommended by the Commission for approval by the City Council may be
more restrictive than those described in this notice.
All interested persons are encouraged to attend the public hearing and express their opinions on the zoning
change request. If you are unable to attend, but wish to have your opinions made a part of the public record,
please submit written comments prior to the public hearing, to the address below:

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
If the property owners of 20% or more of the land within the 200 foot notification area file a written protest
prior to the public hearing, State law provides that the approval of the zoning change request shall require
the approval of a super majority vote by City Council.
The application is on file for public examination in the Community Development Department at 100

Colleyville, TX 76034
Honorable Mayor, City Council Members, Madame Chairwoman and Members of the Planning and
Zoning Commission:
Thank you for your service and dedication to the citizens of the City of Colleyville. I appreciate the time
you dedicate towards making our City the jewel of Northeast Tarrant County.
I am corresponding to protest Zoning Case ZC 18-035 (Consideration of a Special Use Permit for Oil and
Gas Extraction. Specifically for a change in ownership of an existing gas well.). After reviewing the notice
and accompanying document, I have several questions regarding this request and would like to address
these as succinctly as possible.
First, I have significant concerns regarding Sheet number 1 of 2 of the Site Exhibit. This shows a typical
“drill site” in the upper right hand corner of the submitted drawing. At best, this is most likely either an
error or oversight by the applicant. At worse, it is a forewarning of the applicant’s true intent for the
site should the special use permit be approved. I believe that more clarity regarding this must be
provided by the applicant and that a new submittal without this exploded view should be submitted
prior to any consideration of the special use.
Second, the plan as submitted cannot meet the requirements of section 3.1 of the City of Colleyville
Land Development Code. Specifically the code reads:
D. Setback Distances.
1. Wells setbacks for gas or oil well permits:
a. It shall be unlawful to drill, redrill, deepen, re-enter, activate or convert any well, the center of which, at
the surface of the ground, is located; or
b. Within 1,000 feet from any public park; or
c. Within 1,000 feet from any residence, religious institution, public building, hospital building or school for
which a building permit has been issued on the date of the application for a drilling permit is filed with the
administrative officer or
d. Within 1,000 feet from any building used, or designed and intended to be used, for human occupancy;
or
e. Within 500 feet from any existing storage tank containing flammable liquids or gases, or source of
potential ignition; or
f Within 500 feet of any public street, road, highway, or right-of-way line, except in the case of railroad
right-of-way; or
g. Within 100 feet of any building accessory to, but not necessary to the operation of the well; or
h. Within 300 feet to any fresh water well; or
2. 3.
E.
1.
i. The measurement of all distances shall be calculated from the proposed well bore, in a straight line,
without regard to intervening structures or objects, to the closest exterior point of the any object listed in
a. through h. above.
Letter of Opposition
j. For purposes of this section, a "building used, or designed and intended to be used, for human
occupancy" means an enclosed space, other than a residence, in which individuals congregate for
amusement or similar purposes or in which occupants are engaged at labor, and which is equipped with
means of egress, light, and ventilation facilities."
The distances set out in this may be reduced at the discretion of the City Council.
At a minimum, no structure intended for human occupancy, including any residence, shall be constructed
within 300 feet of an existing gas well head, tank battery or other gas well equipment unless approved by
the City Council.
Per the ordinance, the applicant cannot meet the requirements set aside for setbacks from not one but
55 single family residences within the Overlook at Colleyville.
I respectfully request that the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council deny the Special
Use request for change of ownership based on the inability of the applicant to lawfully comply with
Section 3.1 of the Local Development Code. I am concerned that this request, if approved, will only be
met with a subsequent request to redevelop the site or to make it active although it has been capped
for the better part of two years. To approve this would only serve to allow the camel’s nose under the
tent and could potentially set a precedent where the applicant could argue that any future denials were
arbitrary and capricious given the assumed blessing on the site with a change of ownership request.
Again, thank you for your time and consideration to this matter.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any concerns or would like to discuss this with me personally.
You may reach me electronically at stephenkindrick@sbcglobal.net or at (817) 980-5920.
Kindest Regards,
Stephen D Kindrick, MUP, DO
