This resolution was not needed.
3. ANNOUNCEMENTS, PROCLAMATIONS, AND PRESENTATIONS
Announcements of civic and charitable events
Presentation of calendar events and updates
Announcements of awards and recognition
The Mayor and City Councilmembers made the following announcements:
Effective Tax Rate: For the second consecutive year, this Council will adopt an
effective tax rate. When communities adopt the same tax rate year after year it is
often touted as "not raising property taxes." However, the increase in property
value recognized by TAD is multiplied against that same tax rate resulting in
property taxes going up. Only the effective tax rate truly provides for no new tax
increase. The effective tax rate adoption reduces the tax rate below the previous
year in an amount equal to the increase in property values overall. Thus, the tax
rate is reduced to offset the increase in property value. This flat revenue
philosophy is often deemed impossible by municipalities looking to grow revenues.
I am proud of this community and this council. We have worked cohesively with
staff to set an example other communities now emulate. Most importantly, we are
providing exceptional services to our residents while holding the line on property
taxes.
Fire Department Awarded $425,000 in Federal Staffing Grant: The
Colleyville Fire Department was awarded a $425,207.70 federal grant to increase
the number of firefighters and support their work, U.S. Sen. John Cornyn
announced last week. The funding comes through the Staffing for Adequate Fire
City Council Minutes September 17, 2019
City of Colleyville Page 4
and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant program, which provides direct funding
to fire departments and volunteer firefighter organizations to help increase the
number of trained firefighters. The program grant funds the firefighter/paramedic
salary at 75% for the first two years and 35% for year three. The city covers the
remaining balance during the grant years and fully funds the personnel in year
four and beyond. Assistant City Manager Mark Wood and Chief Mark Cantrell are to
be commended for their tenacity in securing this grant.
Police Department CAD Grant Funding: We have been informed that the City
of Keller has secured a grant in the amount of $338,757.24 from the National
Incident Based Reporting System for the proposed CAD/Records Management
System enhancements for our combined dispatch center. This grant will lessen the
financial burden on our communities as we purchase and implement a new system
over the next 18 months. A big THANK YOU to our partner city and their
exceptional leadership!
Beautification Continues at Cheek-Sparger and SH26: As we work on the
final design of the landscape medians along SH26 between John McCain and
Brown Trail, the Parks Department continues beautification efforts further south
along the SH26 corridor. The recent addition included new landscaping on the
southwest corner of Cheek-Sparger and SH26 (7-11 corner). This improvement is
the second corner upgrade at this intersection -the southeast corner (99 Cent
Store corner) was completed earlier this year. Additionally, staff is working with
TxDOT on $172,000 in Green Ribbon funding to improve the parkway landscape
south of Brown Trail. It is exciting to see the beautification efforts continue. Thank
you Lisa Escobedo and her Parks Department team.
Cheek-Sparger Funding Restored: Last week the City was notified that the
grant funding allocated for Cheek-Sparger roadway improvements between Brown
Trail and San Bar Lane has been restored. TxDOT has provided the City with a
Local Transportation Project Advanced Funding Agreement allocating 80% of $2.8
million project cost as a grant. This project is slated for bidding in the spring of
2020.
Prescription Drug Collection Box Installed at Justice Center: The Police
Department has installed the new Prescription Drug Collection Box in the lobby of
the Justice Center this week. This new service is now available to residents and
they can discard their expired or unused prescription drugs in the collection box
during normal business hours Monday-Friday.
Colleyville Center Open House: The Colleyville Center is hosting a community
Open House on Sunday, September 29, from 2 to 6 p.m. at 5301 Riverwalk Drive,
Colleyville. This is your chance to see the new renovations to the space, mingle
with friends, and experience a unique musical performance while exploring local
food and event vendors. Admission is free and open to the public. Enjoy the
sounds of the Goldman Wollett Berestnev Trio as they present Classical Lounge, a
City Council Minutes September 17, 2019
City of Colleyville Page 5
chamber music performance in three parts. The City of Colleyville has partnered
with the APEX Arts League to bring this special music performance to Colleyville.
In recognition of the Featured Business of the Month - Luxury Nail
Spa, 3930 Glade Rd # 116, owner Johnny Nguyen - Mayor Richard
Newton and Assistant City Manager Adrienne Lothery
Mayor Richard Newton and Assistant City Manager Adrienne Lothery welcomed
Johnny and Daodinh Nguyen, owners of Luxury Nail Spa, and recognized them as
the featured business of the month. The Nguyens thanked the City Council and
staff, noting they love the City.
At 7:49 p.m., Mayor Newton stated there are many City ordinances on the agenda
tonight (adoption of the tax rate, budget approval, etc.) and he does not want
residents to have to wait until the end of the meeting to comment on the items
they are here for. Therefore, he is going to change the order of items on the
agenda. He will move to items 6a, and 6b, which are second reading and public
hearing ordinances and then 7a, a first reading and public hearing ordinance and
will return to the agenda order following 7a.
At 10:34 p.m. Mayor Newton returned to Resolution R-19-4420.

5. ITEMS NOT FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Monthly Financial Report - August 31, 2019
Finance Director Kyle Lester reviewed the fund balances in each account, noting as
of August, the City was in great financial health. Director Lester stated as he
assumes the Finance responsibilities, he will be bringing information to the City
Council in different formats and will be reviewing trends, as well.
Mayor Newton moved to item 6a at 7:49 p.m., noting he will conduct the public
hearings for 6a, 6b, and 7a, before returning to the consent agenda and remaining
agenda items.
6. ORDINANCE(S): SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING
6a Ordinance O-19-2090
Consideration of a Special Use Permit (SUP) for an accessory dwelling
and to exceed the maximum square footage allowed for accessory
buildings on Lot 1, Block A, of the Divino Acres Addition, located at
7205 Jo Will Street, Case ZC18-027
Mayor Newton read the caption of Ordinance O-19-2090.
Community Development Director Ben Bryner presented this item, noting at the
first reading concerns were expressed over the size of the accessory building. The
previously existing structure measured 24 feet by 24 feet. A permit was approved
to remodel the structure and to add storage space and a covered porch/walkway.
The plans provided by the contractor showed new dimensions to be 34 feet by 28
feet for a total square footage of 952 square feet. After completion of the project,
the owner began the process to allow for the inclusion of a stove and oven which
City Council Minutes September 17, 2019
City of Colleyville Page 8
categorizes the building as an accessory dwelling. The new plans submitted by the
applicant identify the total square footage at 1,150 square feet. However, staff
went out to the site, measured the dimensions, and verified that the accessory
building currently measures 28.5 feet by 34.2 feet, for a square footage of 975
square feet. These measurements remove the need for the portion of the SUP to
exceed the 4% lot coverage for accessory buildings.
Director Bryner also noted this request is to allow the stove and oven so the space
may be an accessory dwelling, which can be occupied by the applicant’s family.
He further stated the Land Development Code does not allow for short or long
term rentals of an accessory dwelling.
Councilmember Dodson stated conditions can be added to the request, but his
concern is the City does not send anyone to check rental concerns. Director
Bryner stated if a complaint is received regarding perceived rental occurring, the
Code Enforcement Officer is notified and responds.
Mayor Newton stated, in his opinion, accessory dwellings in R-20 are not
appropriate and he is aware of and concerned about long and short term rentals.
He said he and City Council are trying to be responsible to all citizens and he feels
granting the SUP is the wrong thing to do because of the concern with Air bnbs.
Councilmember Nakamura expressed her care and concern for the family wanting
to provide independent living for a family member.
Councilmember Rigney expressed her concern for the City’s ability to enforce no
long or short term rentals.
Mayor Newton opened the public hearing at 8:02 p.m.
Mark Lively, 7209 Jo Will Street, spoke in favor of this item. Mr. Lively stated he
appreciates what the applicant is doing to beautify the street and he has spoken
with many of the neighbors, none of whom have any concerns with approving this
item. Mr. Lively noted he was the resident who asked for no Air bnb’s to be
allowed, but this is not what the applicant is asking for. He said Mr. Johnson is
trying to provide independent living for a family member and he believes the City
Council can figure out a way to deal with this without denying the structure.
There were no others wishing to speak and Mayor Newton closed the public
hearing at 8:10 p.m.
Craig Johnson, 7205 Jo Will Street, the applicant, stated he is respectful of the
City codes and regulations and there will be no rentals. Mr. Johnson stated he felt
it unfair to restrict him now, based on what could happen in the future if he did
not own the property.
City Council Minutes September 17, 2019
City of Colleyville Page 9
Councilmember Nakamura asked Mr. Johnson how he was going to install a stove.
Mr. Johnson stated the cabinets are cut out for the stove and they would have to
have a gas line ran. Councilmember Nakamura asked Mr. Johnson if he would
consider taking out the stove when he sells the house. Mr. Johnson replied yes.
Mayor Newton stated the decision the City makes tonight is not to deny your
father-in-law, there is a much bigger picture to consider for the community.
Mayor Newton stated the Council’s options are:
1. Deny the request.
2. Approve with stringent conditions written into the SUP, if you sell the
property, the SUP goes away, and the use is restricted to his family member
only.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood stated the Council has reviewed the Land Development
Code and he would like to meet in the middle.
Following discussion and with agreement from Mr. Johnson, the following
conditions will be added to the ordinance:
a. The SUP will expire/terminate with a change of ownership.
b. Upon expiration of the SUP, the stove/oven and associated connections shall
be removed and the opening replaced with cabinets.
Councilmember Wheat thanked Mr. Johnson for his investment in the community.
Councilmember Nakamura made a motion to approve Ordinance O-19-
2090 with the following amendments being added: The SUP will
expire/terminate with a change of ownership, and upon expiration of the
SUP, the stove/oven and associated connections shall be removed and the
opening replaced with cabinets, and Councilmember Rigney seconded the
motion.
The motion to approve carried by the following vote:
Ayes: 7 – Mayor Newton, Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood, Councilmembers
Nakamura, Wheat, Dodson, Kelley, and Rigney.
6b Ordinance O-19-2091
Request to appeal the decision by the Planning and Zoning Commission for
the consideration of a Special Use Permit (SUP) for a carport and to
exceed the maximum square footage allowed for accessory buildings
on Lot 1, Block A, of the Divino Acres Addition, located at 7205 Jo Will
Street, Case ZC19-007
City Council Minutes September 17, 2019
City of Colleyville Page 10
Mayor Newton read the caption of Ordinance O-19-2091.
Community Development Director Ben Bryner presented this item, noting this item
is a companion piece of the property discussed previously and approved under
Ordinance O-19-2090 and will require a supermajority vote.
Director Bryner stated the proposed carport meets all standards except it is not
located totally in the rear yard, there is 1.7-percent of the structure in the side
yard.
Director Bryner stated the applicant has provided the City Council with a petition
of support from the neighbors.
Photographs and renderings were reviewed in regard to the carport and its
location and discussion of the construction of the carport.
Mayor Newton opened the public hearing at 8:38 p.m.
Mark Lively, 7209 Jo Will Street spoke in favor of the item stating the carport
carries the architecture over to make the dwelling more aesthetically pleasing.
Vincent Devino, 7201 and 7113 Jo Will Street, spoke in favor of the item, stating it
is a beautiful house and the carport is hardly visible.
There were no others present wishing to speak and Mayor Newton closed the
public hearing at 8:41 p.m.
Councilmember Wheat stated she is generally a stickler for regulation, however,
she feels the structure and carport adds value and beauty.
Mayor Newton stated the vegetation depicted may not always be there and asked
Mr. Johnson how the carport is going to be built specifically. Councilmember
Dodson stated having the same question.
Director Bryner noted the columns will be a combination of brick and painted, and
there would be an attached asphalt roof, matching the dwelling and house.
Mr. Johnson noted his contractor had left, but showed the diagrams. Mayor
Newton stated this item requires a super majority vote and the diagrams
presented by Mr. Johnson do not show the supports and approval would violate a
part of the Code.
Mr. Johnson asked if the item could be tabled until he brought his contractor back
in.
City Council Minutes September 17, 2019
City of Colleyville Page 11
Councilmember Nakamura made a motion to deny Ordinance O-19-2091

she believes the opposition from those who live in the neighborhood should be
counted as more significant than those in favor of the item, who do not live in the
neighborhood.
Pat Carew, 5108 Oak Timbers Court, spoke in opposition to this item with concern
for having a bar in the back yard, and loud music versus an acoustic guitar.
Mr. Nail spoke again, noting the restaurant proposes closing at 10:00 p.m. and
would not be in violation of the noise ordinance.
Mr. Novak spoke again, noting there are other locations for this type of restaurant
and asked the applicant and City Council to consider those locations which would

within the zoning.
Paul Pardo, 904 Saddlebrook Drive, the applicant, presented a 3D video rendering
of the expected interior and exterior of the restaurant and stated the food is made
from scratch, they anticipate using local vendors, employ local people, and expect
to create $150,000 to $160,000 of tax revenue in the first year.
Mayor Newton asked Mr. Pardo if there were any ways to mitigate the concerns
which have been heard tonight. Mr. Pardo stated he wants to work with the
neighbors and could do the following:
Plant trees and enclose a portion of the patio to mitigate noise. He stated the
music which would be played would be background dinner music, they could
adjust the speakers downward, and live music would be acoustical. Mr. Pardo
stated they can remove the word bar from their name, so the restaurant would be
known as the Stone House Restaurant. Mr. Pardo also stated he is opposed to the
suggestion of BYOB, the restaurant will have certified bar tenders.
Mr. Pardo, at the request of Mayor Newton, stated his menu will be contemporary
eclectic, serving scratch recipes, pasta, pizza, steak, and fish.
Councilmember Kelley asked Mr. Pardo if TABC certified bar tenders are more
responsible than a BYOB server and if this is why he is opposed to BYOB. Mr.
Pardon stated his establishment is nicer than that and yes, TABC certified bar
tenders have a higher standard.
Councilmember Nakamura asked Mr. Pardo who will manage the restaurant. Mr.
Pardo introduced Jim Hanser, who managed Del Frisco for 15 years.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood stated one of the reasons the Council changed to 60/40
was to entice high end restaurants to the City and he appreciates the investment
the Pardo’s are making in the community.
