and she is excited they want to bring the restaurant to Colleyville. Councilmember

Mayor Newton stated the grant programs are funded through the TIF and designed
to help business and promote economic development with the City. To date, the
City has awarded 16 BEST grants, 13 sign grants, and 1 SAFER grant for a total
City investment of nearly $694,000. Mayor Newton stated the total local
investment by businesses who received the grants is approximately $9.7 million
which goes into the tax base which equates to over $215,629 in annual ad
valorem tax collection. Mayor Newton noted the TIF has a life span and will expire
in 2030, so without any cost increases, for a City investment of $694,000, over
the next ten years, over $2.9 million will be sent into the taxing entities.

4. ANNOUNCEMENTS, PROCLAMATIONS, AND PRESENTATIONS
Announcements of civic and charitable events
Presentation of calendar events and updates
Announcements of awards and recognition
Mayor Newton, Mayor for a Day Stacy and the City Council made the following
announcements:
COVID Update: Colleyville currently has 258 active positive cases. Tarrant County
hospital capacity is 23%, and ventilator capacity is at 55%. COVID patients are
utilizing 20% of Tarrant County hospital beds. Our Trauma Service Area E
continues to see COVID hospitalization percentages over 15%, which is the key
indicator to getting businesses back to 75% occupancy. The percentage must be
lower than 15% for 7 consecutive days to increase occupancy. Please remember to
follow simple steps to keep you and others, especially the most vulnerable, safe –
wear a mask when in public, wash your hands, and socially distance. I am thankful
that the FDA approved the first of the COVID vaccines last week and hospital
workers are beginning to be vaccinated. I’m hopeful for widespread distribution by
next spring, and we can get back to gatherings and our normal way of life. Let’s
keep fighting this together.
Fire Department Honor Guard Photo: A photo of the Colleyville Fire Department
Honor Guard was just featured in the Dallas Morning News 2020 photos of the
year magazine. The photo can also be found on the newspaper’s website. The
photo is from the annual Memorial Day event at Bluebonnet Hills Funeral Home.
What a great photo of our team participating in this beautiful Colleyville tradition.
They do a great job for the community and we thank them for their service.
Colleyville Cares Cards Making a Difference: The City of Colleyville has joined
forces with our ministerial alliance this holiday season to assist families in need.
Each of our city’s 21 houses of worship were provided 30 - $50 gift cards to be
given to families in need this holiday season. The $50 gift cards are good at any of
our Colleyville businesses during the month of December. This program is in
addition to the $35 gift cards that were mailed to every Colleyville household. We
are blessed to live in such an amazing city.
Mayoral Red Kettle Challenge Update: This past Saturday Mayor Newton, members
of the City Council, and other community volunteers rang the bell for the Salvation
Army's annual Red Kettle campaign. The effort is part of the Salvation Army's
2020 Mayor Red Kettle Challenge to see which city can raise the most money. Last
City Council Minutes December 15, 2020
City of Colleyville Page 5
year, area mayors raised over $134,000 for the Salvation Army. Mayor Newton
was named Rookie-of-the-Year, raising $6,366 thanks to the generous donations
from our community!
A successful Red Kettle season greatly increases the Salvation Army's ability to
meet the needs of food, clothing, and shelter in our community throughout the
year. Money raised from the challenge goes to children, families, and individuals
who are in need. Thank you to all who donated time and money to this worthwhile
event. The generosity of our residents fills my heart with pride.
Colleyville Gives Grant Application Update: Just a reminder, Colleyville's annual
#ColleyvilleGives advertising grant program is underway. This seasonal program is
designed to assist Colleyville businesses with their 4th quarter advertising and
marketing efforts by providing advertising grants. This promotion provides $1,000
in grant money for an advertising campaign during the busy holiday months.
Businesses who wish to make a $500 donation to an area non-profit will receive an
additional $1,000 in grant money.

Special Collection for Leaves & Trees: Special leaf and tree recycling collection
continues with two additional collection dates scheduled for Saturday, December
19 and January 2. On those days Community Waste Disposal (CWD), Colleyville's
trash and recycling service provider, will run special collection routes to recycle
leaves (in paper lawn bags). CWD will also collect and recycle Christmas trees on
the special collection day in January. Collections begin at 10 a.m. to allow
City Council Minutes December 15, 2020
City of Colleyville Page 6
additional time for residents to rake and bag leaves and place the bags at the
curb.
To participate, residents just need to set out leaves in paper lawn bags on the
designated collection days. CWD will still collect leaves in plastic bags set out on
regular garbage collection days but these will go to the landfill. If residents set out
brown paper lawn bags for leaf recycling a few days early, CWD will leave them for
the Saturday collections. If you have any questions or would like more
information, call 817.503.1110.
Glade Road Update: As Glade Road Phase II construction continues, the
westbound lane of Glade Road, from Riverwalk Drive to Oak Timbers, will be
closed beginning this week. Additionally, both northbound and southbound lanes
on Bedford Road will be closed from Glade Road to Jo Carol Lane. This closure will
allow for the realignment of Bedford Road and Oak Timbers Court (to the north)
with a new intersection at Glade Road (currently offset alignment). This temporary
closure and new traffic pattern is estimated to be in place for six months. Detour
signs will be in place to alert drivers.
Acceptance of the Texas Chapter of the American Planning
Association Planning Achievement Award in Urban Design for the
Plaza at City Hall - Mayor Richard Newton and City Council
The Colleyville City Plaza was awarded a 2020 Urban Design Achievement Award –
Silver by the Texas Chapter of the American Planning Association. Tonight we
formally present the award to the City Council and congratulate our community on
an exceptional project that now serves as a wonderful public gathering place for
community events. Mayor Newton stated this is more than award for urban
design; it is an acknowledgment of this Council’s effort in bringing to fruition a
plan initiated more than 20 years ago. In 1999, the TIF district was established
and with it, a plaza project was identified as an original project. Our Council is to
be applauded for bringing this project to life in an exceptional way now recognized
by this national organization.

Agreement with HQS Construction, LLC, for the John McCain Hike &
Bike Trail Improvement project, providing for an additional $187,050
to the current project budget, in an amount not to exceed
$935,249.50, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the
amendment
Mayor for a Day Claire Stacy read Resolution R-20-4569 in its entirety.
There was no discussion of items 5a, 5b, and 5c.
Public Works Director Ray Silva-Reyes presented item 5d, noting the contract
includes the construction of an 8-10 foot wide concrete hike and bike trail in the
south parkway of John McCain Road spanning approximately 3,300 linear feet
across three separate segments from Stillwater Court to east of Waldon Court.
Councilmember Dodson stated the section of trail from Holly Lane to Pebble Hill
does not include Oak Alley and he felt the description of the project was
misleading and questioned the cost for the project. Director Silva-Reyes stated
Councilmember Dodson is correct the project does not include Oak Alley, the Oak
Alley developer is responsible for that section of trail. He stated he does not
believe the full request of $187,050 will be spent for the trail sections, but state
law allows up to a 25% change order and he is hoping to leverage the funds. He
also noted this trail section is eight foot wide, not five foot like sidewalks. Director
Silva-Reyes stated for clarity purposes, these sections of trail, are in accordance
with the approved annual sidewalk connectivity project along John McCain Road.
Councilmember Dodson requested the slide be included in the minutes for clarity.
Mayor for a Day Stacy opened the public hearing at 8:45 p.m.

6. ITEMS NOT FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
6a Monthly Financial Report - November, 2020
Finance Director Kyle Lester presented the financial report, and began
summarizing the year-end financial position for FY20. All four operating funds
emerged with budgetary surpluses last year, with the General Fund’s being the
strongest. As per City policy, the surpluses from the General Fund, Utility Fund,
and Drainage Fund will be transferred to their respective capital funds in order to
cash fund capital projects. The General Fund has transferred $3.5 million, the
utility fund has transferred $1.26 million, and the drainage fund has transferred
$342,000. The debt service fund also came in with a surplus from its property tax
collections and that cash will remain in the fund’s balance.
Director Lester stated the General Fund was originally budgeted with a surplus of
just over $400,000, but ended with a surplus of $3.5 million, including the CARES
Act funding in the amount of $1.4 million. The Utilities Fund was budgeted with no
surplus, as that fund is designed to be a break-even fund at the end of the year.
Director Lester noted the budgetary comparison is a little strange because staff
anticipated higher costs coming from the Trinity River Authority, however, charges
were lower than expected, resulting in lower volumetric charges to our customers,
as well as lower fees paid to TRA.
Director Lester went on to provide highlights of each fund for FY21. Through
November, the second month of FY21, the General Fund has collected 10% of its
budgeted revenue and spent 12% of its budgeted expenditures. Director Lester
City Council Minutes December 15, 2020
City of Colleyville Page 9
stated being early on in the fiscal year, staff had expected a larger deficit than the
fund is posting, however, it appears a substantial portion of property taxes have
come in earlier than usual, softening the anticipated deficit. The remaining $13.5
million in property taxes will be received through the second quarter (Jan.-Mar.),
and Colleyville should run a decreasing surplus through the remainder of the year.
This is simply the monthly cash flow forecast.
Reviewing sales tax revenue, Director Lester said Colleyville received its first
collection of the fiscal year from October's sales, and it brought in a modest, 2.1%
increase over October of last year and noted the increase is substantially lower
than seen in the last several months. However, due to conservative budgeting, the
City is 7.5% ahead of projections. He stated Colleyville isn't the only city that
experienced this slowing of sales tax growth. DFW-area cities collectively saw a
decline of 0.29% while all Texas cities in the aggregate declined by 1.62%.
Director Lester reviewed all funds, noting the conservative budgeting has seen the
City through the year.
Mayor Newton asked Director Lester to explain why City revenues are $769,000
higher than expected. Director Lester explained there were three areas which
exceeded projections: sales tax, franchise fees, and building permits.
Mayor Newton explained the City maintains an excess cash fund balance that is
enough cash to run the City for 150 days without revenue.
Mayor Newton and the City Council thanked staff for conservatively budgeting and
spending.

Mayor Newton read the caption of Ordinance O-20-2148.
Community Development Director Ben Bryner stated there are no changes from
the first reading and presented the item for a Special Use Permit (SUP) to allow for
a dog grooming business in Town Center. Director Bryner stated the property is
zoned CC-2 Shopping Center district and a dog grooming business is only allowed
in commercial districts with the approval of an SUP. He noted the business, “Pet
Bar” is a franchise business offering professional boutique grooming services with
drop-off and pick-up services. Director Bryner reviewed the floor plan and stated
all pets will remain within the store for their entire maximum 90 minute
appointment. There will be no veterinary services performed, no outdoor kennels,
no boarding services, no pet daycare services, and no pet walking.
Mayor Newton asked Director Bryner if there would be overnight stays and how
the applicant is addressing sound. Director Bryner stated there will be no
overnight stays of pets and stated the applicant was present and could address the
questions regarding sound.
The applicant, Steve Harvey, 6805 Strauss Drive, stated the sound proofing will be
18 feet, which will be from the floor, beyond the ceiling, to the roof, which will also
work to contain the pet hair within the suite, and sound traps will be installed in
strategic locations as well. Mr. Harvey also explained there is an aisle way
between the suites and no suite behind his, therefore, noise will not be an issue to
any neighbors. He also noted Pet Bar is a local Dallas franchise and if approved, he
will be the first franchisee and the Colleyville location will be the first franchised
store in the United States.

a zoning change from the R-20 Single-Family residential district to the RE Single-
Family 'Estate' Residential district. He explained the lot width of the property falls

Request to appeal the decision by the Planning and Zoning

Agricultural district to the R-30 Single Family Residential district for
Tract 2D & 2D3, Abstract 233, D. R. Blanton Survey, located at 5209
Bluebonnet Drive, Case ZC20-027
City Council Minutes December 15, 2020
City of Colleyville Page 12
Mayor Newton read the caption of Ordinance O-20-2150.
Community Development Director Ben Bryner stated a super majority vote is
required on this item and advised an updated drainage exhibit has been provided.
He went on to present this item which is a request for a zoning change from AG
Agricultural district to the R-30 Single Family Residential. Director Bryner noted
the Planning and Zoning Commission made a 4-2 recommendation of denial.
Mayor Newton asked the applicants to come forward to make a presentation and
answer questions of the City Council. The first speaker was Rob Daake, 14755
Preston Road, Suite 600, Dallas, Land Use Attorney and Civil Engineer,
representing the applicant, B. J. Boarra, discussed the drainage being a regional
issue and stated the developer is not callus to the neighbor’s concerns, but hopes
City Council will be reasonable in the expectations of what a developer of four
acres can solve.
The second speaker was Tony Krauska, 5225 Village Creek Drive, Suite 200,
Plano, who explained the drainage plan which takes the flow rate to 0 while
accepting the drainage to the north. Mr. Krauska stated this solves everyone’s
concerns except for Mrs. Rogers’s property and stated everyone acknowledges this
but they are willing to work with the City Engineer to redirect the flow from north
to west which will help some.
Mayor Newton asked Mr. Krauska how he expects to get to a 0 flow rate. Mr.
Krauska responded a two to three foot retaining wall will be built.
Mayor Newton, in reference to this development and the surrounding properties,
stated he does not believe the property will stay agricultural forever and while
drainage is important, he is more concerned about development of the property it
surrounds. While it is unfortunate the property is long and narrow, he does not like
a street against a property line and this Council is strategic in their vision for
future development. Mayor Newton stated his logic for his one vote on the zoning
by saying he cannot get past the street location and does not see this for R-30
zoning, because of the vision for the community to have larger lots, with a rural
feel, and low density. He stated he appreciates all the efforts focused on drainage,
but will not vote for the R-30.
Mayor Newton opened the public hearing at 10:02 p.m.
Mo Siddique, 1502 Royal Lane, spoke in favor of this item noting development of
the property is a win/win in appearance and tax revenue for the City. He also
stated the Kingswood HOA is in favor of this item.
Kathleen Hennessey, 5013 Stonebridge Drive, spoke in opposition to this item with
concerns for drainage.
City Council Minutes December 15, 2020
City of Colleyville Page 13
Nancy Rogers, 1612 Cherry Lane, spoke in opposition due to the swales and
drainage which creates a creek across her property. She also asked one house be
removed.
B. J. Boarra, the owner/applicant, spoke in favor of the development, gave a
history of his property purchase and attempts to develop the property, his desire
to work with the City and neighbors, and his commitment to build beautiful,
quality homes to match the character of homes on Cherry Lane.
Kathy Hadley, 204 Timberline Drive North, spoke in opposition to this item and
requested the developer build an estate home instead of a development.
Dean Phillips, 1604 Cherry Lane, spoke in opposition with concerns for drainage
and a request that if approved, the developer be required to install automated
drainage systems.
There were no others wishing to speak and Mayor Newton closed the public
hearing at 10:35 p.m.

10. RESOLUTION(S): READING AND PUBLIC HEARING
10a Resolution R-20-4570
Consideration of a waiver request to allow for the use of a non-
conforming building with a non-conforming use on Lots B1A & B2A,
Reagan Estates West, City Boundary Split, located at 7720 & 7724
Precinct Line Road, Case GC20-006
Mayor Newton read Resolution R-20-4570 in its entirety.
Community Development Director Ben Bryner presented this request for a waiver
for use of a non-conforming building with a non-conforming use. Director Bryner
stated the property straddles the city limit line between Colleyville and Hurst. It is
currently zoned R-40 Single-Family Residential Development district in Colleyville
and is a combination of in the Regan Estates West Addition, located on the east
side of Precinct Line Road and south of the intersection of L.D. Lockett Road and
Precinct Line Road and is currently developed with two non-conforming
commercial buildings. The applicant seeks a waiver to allow for office showroom
type uses in the existing front building. Director Bryner noted Colleyville staff and
representatives from the City of Hurst met with the applicant in the fourth quarter
of 2019. At that time, it was recommended the development go through a
rezoning to a PUD-C Planned Unit Development – Commercial district. This would
be followed by a site plan approval process to bring the zoning and site into
compliance with the Land Development Code.
Director Bryner stated the applicant was issued a building permit for façade work
on the building fronting Precinct Line Road from the City of Hurst in September of
2020 and the work is currently being performed. As part of the project, the
applicant submitted plans to connect to the City of Colleyville’s water and
wastewater systems to accommodate the existing and future buildings. This
reinitiated conversations with the applicant and the need for the zoning approval.
The requested waiver would allow for use of the front building while the change of
zoning is going through the review and possible approval by the City Council.
There was discussion regarding the setback, the water and sewer connection to
Colleyville service, and the year which has passed since meeting with staff. Mayor
Newton asked the applicant to come forward to answer questions.
Roman Figueroa, 959 Rocksberry Way, Keller, the applicant, spoke in response to
Council’s questions stating he was not trying to circumvent either cities
regulations, this is his first development and he met with both cities and made a
mistake – he didn’t understand the requirements for the front building. Mr.
Figueroa also noted the pandemic slowed his progress in being able to meet.
Mayor Newton asked Mr. Figueroa what he is trying to accomplish with the
request. Mr. Figueroa said he is trying to shorten the time for receiving approval

so he can finish out the front, connect to utilities and lease the building to
generate revenue.
There was discussion regarding use of the property, why the sewer line has been
disconnected, work which can and cannot be done with a permit from Hurst only,
revenue agreements, and the potential for a PUD, and the project qualifying for a
BEST grant.
