CITY MANAGER'S REPORT CITY COUNCIL, MARCH 6, 1990 PREPARED BY: ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER 1) Bogart Road Realignment Study A preliminary version of the Bogart Road realignment study has been completed by Johnson, Brickell, Mulcahy & Assoc. Inc. Staff has reviewed the first draft and has requested additional items be addressed. A revised copy will be forwarded to staff the week of March 5th. The revised copy will be reviewed and a meeting between staff, the developer of Hidden Oaks, the School District and the traffic consultant will be scheduled for the week of March 12th. It is anticipated that the rea- lignment study will be presented to the City Council for consideration at the March 20th or April 3rd meeting dependent upon the results of the meeting and further staff analysis. 2) Monticello Homeowners Association Inquiries about maintenance of railroad crossings and condition of road- ways. Please find attached correspondence from the Monticello Homeowners Association concerning 1) The condition of the railroad crossings on John McCain and Pleasant Run, and 2) the condition of John McCain and Pleasant Run.

Staff is awaiting response from these inquiries. 3) Proposed FAA Navigational Facility (Near L.D. Lockett & Precinct Line Road) Several months ago staff was contacted by an engineering firm working on behalf of the FAA to design and place a navigational radar facility in Colleyville. The firm, Freese and Nichols and an FAA representative met with city staff to discuss the project. They indicated that this proposed facility is unrelated to the FAA facility currently located in Colleyville and that the planning was in the very preliminary stages. They requested information on what would be required to comply with the community development process in the City of Colleyv- ille. Because of the unique nature of this facility and concerns about surrounding property owners, staff requested the City Attorney provide some input concern- ing the appropriate usage classification of such a facility. Based on the City Attorney's response staff's position will be that the facility is allowable in this zoning district (R-40) as a governmental facility, but CITY MANAGER'S REPORT CITY COUNCIL, MARCH 6, 1990 PREPARED BY: ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER Page 2 (Cont.) that the applicant will be required to plat the property to receive a building permit for the structure.
