Title
Discussion of the Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District 83rd Texas
Legislative Session agenda
Explanation
On December 17, 2012, the Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District (GCISD)
Board of Trustees approved Legislative Priorities and the GCISD Legislative Agenda for
the 83rd Texas Legislative Session (attached). Superintendents from districts
participating in the DFW Visioning Consortium came together to develop and present
joint legislative priorities for the 83rd Texas Legislative Session. In association with the
Consortium, GCISD supports legislation that furthers the PK-12 public educational
program as well as supports visionary leaders who understand that Texas is a global
competitor and, in order to remain competitive, Texas must provide the resources for a
public education system that is second to none.
GCISD is seeking community support in its legislative agenda for the 83rd
Texas Legislative Session, as having a common education agenda for the district and
the cities they serve sends a united message to those elected to represent our
communities in the state legislature.
Staff seeks City Council direction on formal adoption of any or all of the priorities in the
GCISD 83rd Texas Legislative Session agenda.

GCISD Legislative
Agenda
83rd Texas Legislative Session
Grapevine-Colleyville ISD supports legislation that furthers the PK-12 public educational
program so that every child in our state, regardless of wealth or circumstance, graduates
with the skills necessary to successfully enter post-secondary education or the workforce.
The district supports visionary leaders who understand that Texas is a global competitor
and, in order to remain competitive, Texas must provide the resources for a public
education system that is second to none. As these purposes are so important, GCISD will
encourage legislative action that accomplishes the tenants below:
1.Support public school finance legislation that properly funds state requirements and
allows for discretion at the local level.
2.Support effective and equitable academic accountability systems.
3.Support legislation that honors the institution of independent school districts in
Texas by providing greater local control that allows each community to address the
educational needs of their students.
4.Oppose legislation intended to change the highly successful and efficient Teacher
Retirement System.
5.Oppose legislation that allows or creates private school entitlements in any form,
including but not limited to school vouchers or taxpayer savings grants.
Support public school finance legislation that properly funds state requirements and
allows for discretion at the local level.
Establish a funding formula that adequately supports all Texas public school
children. Restore the debilitating and unprecedented funding cuts from the
82nd Legislature that significantly impacted programs for students. These
cuts include:
o $14 million for GCISD,
o $5.4 billion for all Texas public schools.
Fully fund full-day pre-K for all 3- and 4-year-old children meeting eligibility
requirements.
Support effective and equitable academic accountability systems.
Statewide testing should not drive the teaching and learning process at any
grade or content area.
Replace the high stakes accountability system for children with a system
that engages them in learning, cultivates each child’s talent, and primarily
focuses on student growth rather than punitive sanctions.
Reduce from 15 the number of state-mandated End-of Course (EOC) exams
required for graduation.
Waive the state-mandated EOC exam upon successful completion of an
appropriate Advanced Placement or Dual Credit course.
Allow local school boards to determine the degree to which a statewide
exam impacts students’ course grades.
Reduce the number of STAAR exams in grades 3 through 8.
Provide for multiple indicators of student career and college readiness.
Ensure that campus and district accountability ratings are reflective of
overall student achievement instead of only reflecting the performance of
the lowest scoring students groups, and unfairly labeling and devaluing the
hard work and efforts of all students and teachers.
Support legislation that honors the institution of independent school districts in
Texas by providing greater local control that allows each community to address the
educational needs of their students.
Return taxing authority to the locally elected official of school districts.
Provide relief from all unfunded or underfunded mandates from the state.
Oppose legislation intended to change the highly successful and efficient Teacher
Retirement System (TRS).
Support legislation that continues the current defined benefit pension
program for TRS participants.
Oppose legislation that allows or creates private school entitlements in any form,
including but not limited to school vouchers or taxpayer savings grants.
Recognize that private school entitlements will further divert resources
from the state budget for public education at a time when we should be
working together to improve our public schools.
Oppose any legislation that provides private school entitlements. This
includes vouchers, tax credits, tuition reimbursements, scholarships and
other programs that divert public tax dollars to privately run schools.
Support taxpayer accountability and transparency by holding private
schools receiving any public funds to the same state and federal
accountability standards as public schools. This includes, but is not limited
to:
accepting all students who apply.
administering all state testing and publically reporting the results.
adhering to the same guidelines for teacher certification and
employment laws.
adhering to the same guidelines for food service, including federal
guidelines for free and reduced meals.
adhering to the same guidelines for student discipline.
adhering to the same guidelines for financial accountability and
transparency.
adhering to the same federal guidelines such as Title IX compliance.

Title
Discussion and update on North Texas drought conditions
Explanation
As of December 18, 2012, the reservoir storage capacity of the Tarrant Regional Water
District (TRWD) reservoirs was at 77 percent. Capacity is currently declining at the
rate of approximately 1 percent every two weeks. When the reservoirs' capacity
reaches 75 percent, Stage One water conservations measures are triggered and it is
anticipated this level will be reached in mid-January 2013. Plans are being made to
implement Stage One measures on January 21, 2013.
While Stage One restrictions limit watering to two days per week, watering twice a
week during the winter, when lawns are dormant, is too much. Experts recommend
watering no more than one-half of an inch every two weeks—a little more than 10
percent of summer watering needs. Other Stage One restrictions include:
· Limiting outdoor watering with sprinklers or irrigation systems to twice per week
· Prohibiting hosing off paved areas like driveways and sidewalks, or buildings and
windows, except for health reasons (restaurants, etc.)
· Restricting draining and re-filling swimming pools
- Limiting private vehicle washing to the use of a bucket or a hose with a turnoff
valve
Staff is taking pro-active measures to notify Colleyville residents and businesses of the
likelihood of implementing Stage One restrictions, including media releases, installation
of advisory signs at high traffic locations around the City, and procurement of "Water
Whisperer" signs from TRWD to place throughout the City.
Staff will provide updates to City Council and the community as we get closer to the
probable implementation date of January 21, 2013. Because of the above normal
temperatures and minimal rainfall over the past several months, it is likely the
restrictions will remain in place throughout the summer.

Title
Update of North Texas drought
conditions
Pre Council Meeting
January 8, 2013
TRWD
Water Supply Update
Presented December 19, 2012
TRWD Overview
•Formed in 1924 from an act of the Texas Legislature
•Governed by a 5 member Board of
Directors elected at-large in the ”District”, which encompasses 2/3 of Tarrant County
• Guidance provided by four primary wholesale customers, Arlington, Fort Worth, Mansfield and Trinity River Authority.
• Main functions are flood control ($26MM
annual budget) and water supply ($111MM annual budget)
TRWD Water Supply
•District provides only raw, untreated water. This
year we should deliver about 355,000 acre
feet .
• Contracts with four primary wholesale
customers (Arlington, Fort Worth, Mansfield
and Trinity River Authority) dictate operations.
• Ultimately serves 70 cities in an eleven county
service area(Denton, Ellis, Freestone,
Henderson, Jack, Johnson, Kaufman, Navarro,
Parker, Tarrant, Wise)
• Current service population is 1.8 million;
projected to increase to 4.3 million by 2060
Trwd Water Supply Management
•We use a simulation model,
Riverware, to forecast operations and
lake levels
•The model uses expected demands
and adjusts them for changing climatic
conditions
•The model also uses the long range
forecast for inflows and evaporation
rates
Rainfall % last 6 months
August 2012
Break from forecast
Looking Forward
•The current trend is for continued record warm, dry
conditions in the near future
•All forecasts point to ENSO neutral condition
–Not a drought but dryer than average
–Next summer may be average
•Cedar Creek has to go down for maintenance in January for
about a month
•We will remain at high capacity on the Richland side and go to
high capacity on the Cedar Creek side until we see sufficient
recovery
Moving to Stage 1 Drought Measures
•Although the average probability is small on average, the persistence of the drought will likely continue through January and we will reach the threshold of 75% of storage
•The spring forecast of below average rainfall may make us dip below and above the trigger, but we will keep the implementation in force as levels recover until we see that the chance to return is less than 10%
•Based on simulation work done to set the drought triggers, we should see about a 5% savings in storage over the year
What if we had implemented year
round 2 day a week watering ?

roundabout. Mr. Goode explained the roundabout has a very tight turn with
islands that encourage a slowing mechanism.
City Council DRAFT - Minutes December 18, 2012
City of Colleyville Page 3
Mayor Kelly questioned Mr. Goode regarding how this roundabout compares to
the roundabout in Southlake at Whites Chapel and Continental. Mr. Goode
explained the Glade and Pool Road roundabout would be close in comparison
to this proposed roundabout. He explained the circulating lane at Glade and
Pool is 16 feet and currently this proposed roundabout is 15 feet with a two
foot off-set built in. He explained the truck apron at Glade and Pool Road is
67 feet whereas this proposed truck apron is 70 feet in diameter.
Councilmember Short stated he likes the middle of the roundabouts to be a
little larger.
Councilmember Hall stated the one at Glade and Pool Road does not appear to
be large enough. He stated they need to be as big as possible for a better
reaction time. Mr. Goode stated the design of a roundabout is an art that
goes along with the science of the design.
Councilmember Hall stated the roundabout at Whites Chapel in Southlake is
nice. Councilmember Short concurred.
Mr. Goode stated he would like guidance from tonight’s meeting regarding the
design of this roundabout.
Councilmember Short questioned Mr. Goode regarding if right-of-way is an
issue. Mr. Goode replied right of way is not really an issue with a single lane
roundabout.
Mayor Kelly stated he is not concerned with the landscaped features as much
as he is with the speed controls.
Councilmember Muhm questioned Fire Chief Russell Shelley regarding the size
of the ladder truck. Chief Shelley replied the ladder trucks are 43 and 49 feet.
Mayor Pro Tem Hart questioned Mr. Goode regarding if the traffic will back up
from the stop light at Brown Trail. Mr. Goode replied no.
Councilmember Taylor stated the object of this is to keep the traffic moving
and control the speed. Mayor Kelly concurred.
Mr. Goode stated if the speeds are in the right range, then people will feel
more comfortable merging into the lanes. He further stated this roundabout
will allow the school traffic to get back to Brown Trail from the right turn only.
PC-4 Update of the construction on SH26/Colleyville Boulevard and City
owned utility relocations
City Council DRAFT - Minutes December 18, 2012
City of Colleyville Page 4
City Engineer Jeremy Hutt presented information regarding this agenda item.
Discussion occurred between Councilmember Muhm and City Engineer Hutt
regarding utility relocations with the phasing of the project.
Councilmember Muhm questioned City Engineer Hutt regarding if this was on
the east or west side of the road for Phase III. City Engineer Hutt replied it is
both, just in the City limits.
Councilmember Short questioned City Engineer Hutt regarding if the utility
relocation will need to take place before the widening can take place. City
Engineer Hutt replied yes. Mayor Kelly explained the City of Hurst is not
totally committed to this project.
Councilmember Short stated he is not familiar with the limits with this
roadway project. City Engineer Hutt explained the City would like to do all of
the utility relocations for this corridor, therefore they are looking for a good
stopping point.
Mayor Kelly stated with all of the utilities relocated, the project could then
move forward, when the funds became available, with no delays.
Councilmember Muhm questioned staff regarding when Phase II dirt would
start to move. City Engineer Hutt replied 2014.
Councilmember Taylor stated this will help the property owners to know that
their property will not be destroyed again for construction. City Engineer Hutt
explained there will be meetings with property owners to discuss impacts with
this construction project.
Councilmember Muhm questioned staff regarding if the right-of-way has been
purchased. City Engineer Hutt replied yes.
Mayor Pro Tem Hart questioned City Engineer Hutt regarding the completion
date on Phase II. City Engineer Hutt replied approximately six to eight
months.
Councilmember Hall questioned staff regarding the estimated finish date for
Phase II. City Engineer Hutt replied it is funded to begin in 2014. Mayor Kelly
concurred and stated 2 ½ years.
Councilmember Muhm questioned staff regarding the TIF funding, he stated
he thought those monies were allocated for other projects. City Manager
Jennifer Fadden explained the funding of the project regarding the TIF project
City Council DRAFT - Minutes December 18, 2012
City of Colleyville Page 5
plan.
Councilmember Muhm questioned staff regarding if the $7 million is partner
money. City Manager Fadden replied correct. She further stated this can be
accomplished without incurring any further debt.
Councilmember Hall stated since interest rates are so low, this would be the
time to issue debt, if any would need to occur.
Councilmember Muhm questioned staff regarding the rate increases. Assistant
City Manager/Chief Financial Officer Terry Leake explained the rate increases
regarding the utilities.
Councilmember Muhm questioned staff regarding Phase III. City Manager
Fadden explained they are not willing to move forward with this phase until
additional clarity is given on the future of the roadway.
Councilmember Muhm questioned staff regarding a potential roadway going
east and would this $7.5 go towards it? City Manager Fadden explained those
funds are available today for any other projects the City Council would like to
invest in within the TIF district.
Councilmember Taylor questioned staff regarding if the $3.6 is coming from
the $7.5. City Manager Fadden replied yes, there will be a balance remaining.
Councilmember Muhm questioned staff regarding how much new money is
acquired each year with the partner money. Assistant City Manager/Chief
Financial Officer Leake replied close to $1.9 million in partner money.
Councilmember Muhm stated he has concerns with using funding that will
need to be replenished.
Councilmember Muhm questioned staff regarding the funding if the
construction stopped at Church Street. City Engineer Hutt replied he did not
have that break down.
Mayor Kelly stated it makes sense to go ahead and take care of the relocation
now.
City Engineer Hutt stated the surrounding cities are waiting to see what
Colleyville is going to do. Councilmember Muhm questioned staff regarding if
they will then move forward. City Engineer Hutt replied they cannot move
their utilities until the poles are set.
Councilmember Taylor questioned Councilmember Muhm regarding the
City Council DRAFT - Minutes December 18, 2012
City of Colleyville Page 6
reluctance in the project. Councilmember Muhm replied his reluctance is if the
funding is being used for this project, versus other projects that the City
would like to do, it pushes those projects further out. He further explained
that there will need to be another east/west road into the City, like Hall-
Johnson.
Councilmember Taylor explained the cash flow, during the construction time,
will replenish the funds.
Councilmembers Taylor and Short concurred on moving ahead.
Mayor Kelly explained North Central Texas Council of Governments is looking
at a study for the corridor as well.
Councilmember Taylor questioned staff regarding moving beyond the creek.
City Engineer Hutt replied he did not think the water lines crossed the creek.
PC-5 Presentation of the Monthly Financial Report - November 2012
Finance Manager Karen Hines presented the monthly financial report for
November 2012.
Councilmember Hall questioned staff regarding the cost recovery for
Colleyville Center. Manager Przybyl replied 7.4 percent over last year.
Councilmember Muhm explained he would like to see the worksheet reflect the
percentages received over projected.
PC-6 Discussion of the December 18, 2012, City Council regular agenda
items
Community Development Director Ron Ruthven briefed the Councilmembers
regarding the adjustments made to the ordinance for agenda item 5a from the
previous meeting held on December 4, 2012.
Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding if a grandfather clause could be
included in the ordinance to reflect the sale of alcoholic beverages for current
or restaurants coming by a certain date. Director Ruthven concurred.
Discussion occurred between staff and Councilmembers regarding the square
footage of the residential units, including ancillary units.
Councilmember Hall questioned staff regarding if the ordinance mentions

Councilmember Muhm questioned staff regarding if decorative metal for the
poles could include a t-pole. Director Ruthven replied no, it would have to be
a decorative metal.
Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding if the ordinance contains language that
would not allow multi-family units. Director Ruthven replied the developer
could construct a three-story condominium with a minimum of 1,500 square
feet on each level.
Councilmember Taylor questioned staff regarding if the units can be attached
or detached. Director Ruthven replied they can be constructed attached or
detached, similar to the ones on Casa Lane.

residential on the ground floor. Director Ruthven replied yes.
Councilmember Taylor stated the City will make the adjustments on Mission
Lane versus the developer. Director Ruthven concurred.
Councilmember Muhm questioned staff regarding who will be constructing the
additional lane. City Manager Fadden explained the City will be constructing
the second lane in exchange for the land.

Manager Fadden replied approximately $50,000. Public Works Director Lowry
replied it may be more like $30,000.
Councilmember Taylor questioned staff regarding why the City is now funding
this project when the developer was asked to take care of it. City Attorney
Matthew Boyle explained the City is requiring the developer to make Mission
Lane a two-way street without compensation, therefore the compromise is to
have the City construct the street, and the developer would dedicate the right-
of-way.
Mayor Pro Tem Hart explained the traffic flow in and out of The Village will be
improved. Mayor Kelly concurred and stated this is something that was
missed in the beginning.

Title
Approval of an exchange of real property in accordance with Chapter 272 of the Texas
Local Government Code regarding approximately 10,252 square feet of City owned
property in the 200 block of Black Drive, Case GC12-014
Explanation
Reading and Public Hearing
Black Drive is an approximately 1,600 foot long public street that is located between
Bransford Road on the eastern terminus and the boundary of the Mill Creek Addition at
the western terminus. It is at the western terminus the applicant proposes, through a
property exchange with the City, to realign Black Drive and develop a five lot single
family development.
Under this proposal, the applicant will exchange 19,986 square feet (0.459 acres) of
new Black Drive right-of-way (ROW) for 10,252 square feet (0.235 acres) of existing
Black Drive ROW. Upon the transfer of properties, the existing Black Drive ROW would
be incorporated into one of the proposed residential lots while the new ROW would re-
orient Black Drive due north for 240 feet where it would terminate into a cul-de-sac.
Given the location of an existing water service line within the ROW to be transferred, a
16 foot easement will be required to be located over the water line upon approval of
the final plat for the new development. This easement is shown on the preliminary
plat. The new portion of Black Drive resulting from this exchange will be constructed
and financed by the developer.
The proposed exchange of real property must be undertaken in accordance with
Chapter 272 of the Texas Local Government Code. Chapter 272 provides an exception
to the normal competitive bidding requirements for the sale of the City owned real
estate. The critical requirement of Chapter 272 is mandatory notice which must be
published. The notice of a proposed exchange of real estate must be published in the
City's newspaper of choice on two separate dates, and the exchange may not be made
until after the 14th day after the date of the second publication.
For like land and property of approximate equal value, an offer of exchange is
submitted pursuant to Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 272. Sealed written bid
offers were received by staff and opened on December 20, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. Only one
bid was received from Shawn Goff (attached), managing member of Black Drive, LLC,
current property owner of the proposed new ROW, as attached. The bid included the
City Council Agenda Briefing 4c
City of Colleyville Page 2
following items:
- Mr. Goff will trade a 0.459 acre tract of land for a 0.235 acre tract of City owned
land.
- The new ROW property that is being offered for exchange has approximately the
same or greater value as the City property and is within the same general vicinity as
the City property.
- The new ROW property offered for exchange will be free and clear of liens and
encumbrances at the time of closing.
- The owner of the new ROW property offered for exchange will execute a General
Warranty Deed in a form agreeable to both City and owner at closing.
- Closing shall be within 10 days, or a mutually agreeable time frame, after the
Colleyville City Council has accepted this offer; and has approved the final plat of the
Black Drive Subdivision as submitted by the owner.
- Each party is responsible for its own attorney fees and other related expenses.
A color exhibit that details the land exhange is included in this briefing.

Title
Approval of a final plat of Lots 1-6, Block 1, of the Black Drive Subdivision on 2.78
acres located at 200 Black Drive, Case PC12-019
Explanation
Reading and Public Hearing
Bryan Holland is the developer of 2.6 acres located at the end of Black Drive. The
developer submitted a final plat, which will subdivide the property into five residential
lots, for the construction of single family residential detached dwelling units.
Preliminary Plat. The Planning and Zoning Commission approved a preliminary plat
for this subdivision on November 5, 2012.
Zoning. The subject property is zoned R20-Single Family Residential and was rezoned
from R40-Single Family Residential on January 22, 2008.
Access. The proposed development will have access from Black Drive, which will
contain a minimum of 50 feet of right-of-way width and a minimum of 31 feet of
pavement width, measured from curb-back to curb-back. This is the standard street
size for local streets in the Land Development Code, and it will be adequate for fire
apparatus access.
Sidewalks. The Land Development Code requires sidewalks on all public streets. A
minimum four (4) foot wide sidewalk will be located along both sides of the street
serving the development, and installed when any new structures are built on the
property.
Drainage. The drainage analysis has been reviewed by the City Engineer and must be
accepted prior to the final plat.
Park Land Dedication Fees. Parkland Dedication fees are required, in the amount of
$1,802 per residential lot, for the five lots where new homes are proposed. Park land
dedication fees are due at the time of final plat, and the fee must be paid before the
plat is recorded with the County Clerk's office.
Perimeter Street Improvement Requirements. Perimeter street improvement fees
are not due. The developer will be constructing a new portion of Black Court as part of
City Council Agenda Briefing 4d
City of Colleyville Page 2
this subdivision.
Landscaping and Tree Preservation. Trees not located within the right-of-way,
easements or within pad sites must be preserved during construction. Before
construction begins on the site, protective fencing must be installed around the drip
line of all developer identified preserved trees located outside the right-of-way. A
preliminary tree survey has been submitted with the preliminary plat; however,
approval of a tree survey and mitigation plan shall be required, prior to the issuance of
a Notice to Proceed letter, from the Engineering Division of the Public Works
Department.
Surrounding Development Trends. The surrounding properties are single family
residential. The property to the north is zoned PUDR-Planned Unit Development
Residential and R40-Single Family Residential and contains single family homes; the
properties to the south and west are zoned PUDR-Planned Unit Development
Residential and contain single family homes in the Mill Creek Subdivision, and the
property to the east is zoned R40-Single Family Residential and is developed as a
single family residence.
Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation. The Planning and Zoning
Commission recommended approval of this replat at the December 10, 2012 meeting
by a vote of 6-0.
Summary. The proposed development satisfies the requirements of the R20-Single
Family Residential zoning district and the Land Development Code. Since the plat
contains more than four lots, the final plat requires approval by City Council.
Financial Impact
There is no financial impact to the City.

Type Ordinance
Department Community Development
Title
Approval of amendments to Chapter 9-Subdivision Design and Public Facilities in the
Land Development Code
Explanation
Second Reading and Public Hearing
There were no speakers regarding this item at the December 18, 2012 City Council
meeting.
First Reading and Public Hearing
Staff provided a summary of the City's current sidewalk regulations to the City
Council at the October 16, 2012 Pre Council meeting. At the meeting, the City Council
directed staff to bring forward amendments to the sidewalk regulations regarding the
appeals process for waivers to the sidewalk regulations.
The City's sidewalk regulations are contained in Chapter 9-Subdivision Design and
Public Facilities in the Land Development Code. Given the direction by the City
Council, staff proposes adding the following language to Section 9.19(A) with the
additions underlined:
"Other than properties zoned as Planned Unit Developments or containing Special Use
Permits with specific sidewalk provisions, any variance to the sidewalk construction
requirements described above shall be considered by the Planning and Zoning
Commission.
1. Appeal to City Council – The decision by the Planning and Zoning Commission shall
be final, unless the applicant submits a written notice of appeal within ten (10) days
from the date of the action by the Commission to the enforcement official. If an appeal
is received within ten (10) days as described above, the enforcement official shall place
the applicant’s appeal request on the next available agenda for consideration by the
City Council.
2. Applicability of Past Appeals to the City Council – All sidewalk waiver requests
considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission between March 3, 2009 and
December 18, 2012 may appeal to the City Council, per the provisions of Section
1. subject to the following provisions:
City Council Agenda Briefing 5a
City of Colleyville Page 2
a. All appeals allowed by Section 2. must be filed no later than April 18, 2013.
b. All appeals allowed by Section 2. shall be sent in writing to the Community
Development Director."
This language, involving the appeal to the City Council, matches the current language
allowing for appeals to the City Council regarding the decisions of the Sign Board of
Appeals.
Staff proposes allowing all past decisions of the Planning and Zoning Commission
regarding sidewalk waiver requests, (see attached list of cases) to be appealed to the
City Council no later than April 18, 2013. If the amendments are approved as
presented, staff would notify all past sidewalk waiver applicants, and inform them of
the new appeal options. Consistent with the Sign Board of Appeals process to the City
Council, there would be no fee charged for applicants wishing to appeal to the City
Council.
Other changes to Chapter 9 include removing minor discrepancies and obsolete
langauge related to the 2009 amendments. All of these changes are detailed in the
attached Proposed Changes to Chapter 9 - Subdivision Design and Public Facilities.
Financial Impact
There is no financial impact to the City.

passage.
2. Whenever a subdivider can demonstrate an alternative method of meeting the requirements of this
Chapter, it shall be incumbent upon the city staff, the Planning and Zoning Commission, and the City
Council to review the proposed variations and approve, approve with modifications, or disapprove the
proposed alternatives as appropriate for the conditions.
Section 9.6 Blocks
A. General Design – Blocks should have sufficient depth to provide for two (2) tiers of lots of appropriate
depths, except that blocks adjacent to major streets, railroads or waterways shall have only one tier of
lots.
B. Block Lengths & Widths – Residential and industrial blocks generally shall be no longer than sixteen
hundred (1,600) feet and business blocks no longer than one thousand (1,000) feet. Where long blocks
in the vicinity of a school, park or shopping center are proposed, the City Council may require a public
walkway near the middle of long blocks or opposite a street that terminates between the streets at the
ends of the block.
Section 9.7 Lots
A. Lot Arrangement – Lots shall be arranged to provide access to lots from approved streets and to avoid
foreseeable difficulties due to topography and natural physical features inherent to the property.
B. Lot Area and Dimensions – Lot area and dimensions shall be consistent with the minimum requirements
of the applicable zoning district and the following:
1. Special Lot Width Requirement - The width between side lot lines at their foremost points (where they
intersect with the street line) shall not be less than eighty (80) percent of the required lot width. In the
case of lots on the turning circle of a cul-de-sac, the width may be less than eighty (80) percent of the
required lot width.
2. The City may approve a plat which contains a lot that does not meet the minimum requirements when
special conditions exist.
C. Frontage on Public Access Required – All lots shall have frontage on a public street, except a non-
residential lot may be approved when the proposed public access has been determined by City to be
adequate to meet the intent of this requirement. The lot line common to the street right-of-way line shall
be the front line; except that a lot may have more than one lot line common to a street right-of-way line.
D. Access from Major Thoroughfares
1. Residential Lots - No residential lot shall front on or derive access directly from an existing or
proposed collector street, or larger, as shown on the Master Thoroughfare Plan, except where the
proposed subdivision meets all the following criteria:
a. Where the only street frontage which may be provided to the residential lot is from a collector
street due to the shape, topography, or other physical condition of the property;
b. The City Engineer has provided favorable recommendation; and.
c. Where the residential lot is designed and dimensioned to permit loop driveways or on-site
turnaround facilities so that vehicles head into the collector street.
2. Non-residential Lots – Non-residential lots which have frontage onto or derive access directly from an
existing or proposed collector street, or larger, as shown on the Master Thoroughfare Plan, shall have
Proposed Changes to Chapter 9

Chapter 9 – Subdivision Design & Public Facilities Page 9 - 3
driveway locations which comply with the spacing requirements established elsewhere in Chapter 14
– Engineering Design Standards of this Land Development Code.
E. Buildable Area – Every lot shall contain a buildable area that is adequate in size for the proposed
development. The buildable area shall be situated out of the 100 year flood plain.
F. Flag Lots Prohibited – It is the policy of the City to prohibit the creation of flag lots unnecessarily, and to
discourage the creation of any lot which, by virtue of its relatively great depth in relation to its width, is
likely to facilitate future requests for re-subdivision to create a flag lot.
G. Building Lines – Front building lines shall be shown on all lots in the subdivision. Building lines shall be
shown along each street-facing of corner lots and through-lots. The building line shall be consistent with
the requirements of the applicable zoning district, however, the City may approve a building line which
differs from the zoning requirements when special conditions exist.
H. Side Lot Lines – Where possible, all side lot lines shall be at right angles to straight street lines and radial
to curved street lines.
I. Lot Drainage and Grading
1. Grading and drainage of all lots shall be designed in a manner which will allow one lot to drain across
an adjacent lot and into a permanent structure, such as a concrete flume, lined channel, or proper
inlet to an adequate drainage facility, or to a street right-of-way. If an approved drainage structure is
not present, it will be required of the developer to construct the necessary facilities. (O-00-1261 / 12-19-
00)
2. Sheet flow techniques shall be used for lot to lot drainage where possible. (O-00-1261 / 12-19-00)
3. Single lots shall accommodate their own drainage into an approved structure where topographic
elevations allow this to occur. (O-00-1261 / 12-19-00)
Section 9.8 Waterbodies and Water Courses
If a tract being subdivided contains a water body, or portion thereof, lot lines shall be drawn so as to distribute
the entire ownership of the water body among the adjacent lots. The City may approve an alternate plan
provided the ownership of and responsibility for maintenance of the water body is so placed that it will not
become a City responsibility. Where a watercourse separates the buildable area of a lot from the street by
which it has access, provision shall be made for installation of a culvert or other structure, of design approved
by the City. Any lot which includes a water body and contains a building site, contain a buildable area that is
not less than the minimum buildable area for the applicable zoning district.
Section 9.9 Street Names
The developer shall submit all existing and proposed street names on any proposed subdivision plat. New
street names shall be sufficiently different in sound and in spelling from other road names in the city so as to
not cause confusion to the general public or for emergency response. A road which is, or planned, as a
continuation of an existing road shall bear the same name.
Section 9.10 Reserve Strips and Common Areas
The creation of reserve strips shall not be permitted adjacent to a proposed street or to adjacent property in
such a manner as to deny access from adjacent property to the street. No common areas shall be allowed in
Proposed Changes to Chapter 9

Chapter 9 – Subdivision Design & Public Facilities Page 9 - 4
a subdivision except where notation has been placed on the plat to prohibit development on the common
area.
Section 9.11 Double Frontage Lots
Double frontage and reversed frontage lots shall be avoided except where necessary to provide separation of
residential development from a collector street or to overcome specific disadvantages of topography and
orientation. The City may require that a notation be placed on the plat to limit the facing of main structures or
to limit driveway access from a collector street.
Section 9.12 General Infrastructure Policy
(03-03-09 / O-09-1712)
A. General Requirement – The developer of a subdivision shall install all water, sewer, street, sidewalk and
drainage improvements, and any other facilities required by this Land Development Code, which are
necessary for the proper development of the subdivision. The design, construction and inspection of any
public facilities shall be a cost to the developer, unless the City has entered into an agreement for cost
sharing. All such facilities shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the criteria contained in
this Land Development Code and be in conformance with the general layout of the City of Colleyville
Master Land Use Plan and Capital Improvements Plan. The public facility requirement of this section
shall be applicable to the upgrading of any existing facilities which do not meet current standards.
B. Apportionment of Infrastructure Costs – As a condition of the approval of a development, the developer’s
portion of the costs may not exceed the amount required for infrastructure improvements that are roughly
proportionate to the projected impact of the proposed development, as determined by a professional
engineer, licensed in the State of Texas, and who is retained by the City of Colleyville.
1. In making the rough proportionality determination, consideration shall be given to the availability of
adequate and minimum levels of public facilities and accessibility to the site for delivery of emergency
services.
2. The professional engineer making the proportionality determination may rely on categorical findings
from comparable public improvement projects for establishing a cost basis. The basis used for
determining estimated costs shall be revised annually on July 1 by the Colleyville Engineering
Department.
3. A developer who disputes the determination by said professional engineer may appeal to the City
Council and present testimony and evidence in support of the appeal. The appeal shall be written
and filed with the City Secretary within ten (10) days after the date action taken by the Planning and
Zoning Commission on the development proposal. The developer shall not be required to waive the
right to appeal as a condition of approval of the development project.
C. Optional Escrow Provision – Where, in the opinion of the City, construction of a required public
improvement should be deferred to a future date, the developer shall place in escrow with the City, an
amount equal to the estimated cost of the improvements, as determined by the City Engineer. The
Planning and Zoning Commission or City Council may consider an alternate arrangement when
appropriate. Any escrow related to the construction of sidewalks shall adhere to the requirements set
forth in Section F.
D. City Participation in Over-Sizing – Where over-sizing of a public improvement is required by the
Comprehensive Master Plan, Thoroughfare Plan, Water or Sewer Capital Improvements Plan or other
planning document adopted by the City, City participation shall be in accordance with the provisions of
any applicable Impact Fee Ordinance or City-Developer Agreement, which has been approved by the City
Council.
E. Public Easements – All public improvements shall be constructed within easements or rights-of-way that
have been dedicated for public use. The width of an easement or right-of-way shall be in accordance
with the specifications contained elsewhere in this Land Development Code.
Proposed Changes to Chapter 9
Colleyville, Texas, Land Development Code
Chapter 9 – Subdivision Design & Public Facilities Page 9 - 5
F. Escrow Policy for Sidewalks
1. Request for Escrow
Payments into escrow in lieu of constructing any sidewalk may only occur where recommended by the
Supplemental Sidewalk System Map. The only exceptions to this requirement shall be as recommended
by the Planning and Zoning Commission and/or City Council either as a condition to a formal sidewalk
waiver request or as part of a Special Use Permit or Planned Unit Development request.Whenever these
regulations require a property owner to construct a sidewalk for a dwelling unit, the property owner may
petition the City for deposit of an escrowed amount, as established in this Section, in lieu of the required
construction of a sidewalk. The Director of Public Works or the Director of Community Development shall
determine whether the escrow is reasonable in lieu of the obligation to construct the improvement based
on the Supplemental Sidewalk System Map. If an escrow request is denied, then the applicant may appeal
that denial to the Planning and Zoning Commission if a written request for appeal is received by the
Director of Public Works or the Director of Community Development within ten (10) days of the denial. The
decision of the Planning and Zoning Commission shall be final.
2. Deposit with the City
Whenever the City agrees to accept escrow deposits in lieu of construction by the owner of the property
under these regulations, the property owner or developer shall deposit an amount equal to his share of the
costs of design and construction in escrow with the City. This amount shall be paid prior to release of
construction plans by the Director of Public Works. The obligations and responsibilities of the property
owner shall become those of the property owner’s transferees, heirs, successors, and assigns; and the
liability therefore shall be joint and several.
3. Determination of Escrow Amount
The amount of the escrow shall be determined by using the average of the comparable bids awarded by
the City in the preceding six (6) months for sidewalk design and construction or, if none exist, then current
market value of the design and construction of a sidewalk in the City, to be determined by the Director of
Public Works. The determination shall be based on reasonable current market value made as of the time
the escrow is due.
4. Termination of Escrow
Escrows fees paid to the City pursuant to this Section shall be held for a period of ten (10) years from the
date of the deposit. If the City has not expended such funds on a sidewalk with the Sidewalk District of the
dwelling unit that deposited the sidewalk escrow fee, and upon written request from the original party
making the deposit, such funds shall be returned to the original party that paid the escrow fees with
accrued interest, subject to the limitations in Subsection 6. Such return does not remove any obligations of
the dwelling unit for construction of required improvement(s) if a building permit is applied for.
5. Refund
If any public improvement for which escrow is deposited is constructed or is reconstructed by another
governmental authority at no cost to the City, the escrow funds and accrued interest shall be refunded to
the property owner or developer after completion and acceptance of the public improvements. In the event
that a portion of the cost is borne by the City and the other portion of the cost by another governmental
authority, the difference between the owner’s actual proportionate cost and the escrow funds, including
accrued interest, if any, shall be refunded after completion and acceptance of the improvements.
6. Interest Limitation
If for any reason money is refunded within six (6) months of deposit, only the principal will be refunded.
Monies returned after this date will be refunded with interest accrued calculated at one percent (1%) less
than the rate of actual earnings received on the escrowed funds.
7. Waiver of Escrow
Proposed Changes to Chapter 9
Colleyville, Texas, Land Development Code
Chapter 9 – Subdivision Design & Public Facilities Page 9 - 6
The Developer may apply to the Planning and Zoning Commission for a waiver of the requirement to
construct a sidewalk or escrow funds in lieu of construction as described in Section 9.19. The decision
of the Planning and Zoning Commission is final.
8. Use of Escrow Funds
Six (6) Sidewalk Districts are hereby established throughout the City. These districts shall share the
same boundaries as the six (6) neighborhoods depicted on the Neighborhood Boundary Map in the
2004 – 2025 Colleyville Plan. The Sidewalk Districts are established so that sidewalk escrow funds will
be expended within sufficient proximity to the dwelling unit that deposited the sidewalk escrow fee so
as to reasonably benefit that dwelling unit. Funds escrowed pursuant to this Section shall be expended
on design and construction of sidewalks located at any place within the same Sidewalk District as the
dwelling unit depositing the sidewalk escrow fee.
9. Existing Escrow Funds
i. All funds currently escrowed in lieu of sidewalk construction before the effective date of this
Ordinance are subject to expenditure under this Ordinance unless a written objection is filed,
by the owner of the lot for which the funds are escrowed, with the Director of Community
Development within thirty (30) days after notice of this Ordinance is received. Notice of this
Ordinance shall be sent to the current owner of the lot for which the funds are escrowed at the
address listed in the most recent tax rolls of the City. If the person receiving notice under this
subsection is not the current owner, then they must immediately notify the City of the person
who purchased the property and provide the City with the address of that person.
ii. If an objection is filed pursuant to the previous subsection, the Director of Community
Development shall decide, within thirty (30) days, if the circumstances involving the particular
lot and surrounding Sidewalk District reasonably require a return of the escrowed funds. The
owner of the lot may appeal the decision of the Director of Community Development by filing a
written objection, explaining the owner’s argument and requesting for a hearing before the City
Council, with the City Secretary not later than ten (10) days after the Director of Community
Development’s decision. After hearing the lot owner’s objections, City Council may either
refund the escrowed money or deny the refund and order the funds to be used for future
sidewalk construction on that lot or in that sidewalk district.
iii. This Ordinance shall apply to any and all funds paid into the sidewalk escrow fund in lieu of
sidewalk construction after the effective date of this Ordinance.
Form for Escrow
An escrow for the construction of a sidewalk pursuant to this Section shall be in the following form:
In lieu of constructing the necessary sidewalks in the development, the developer shall be required to
escrow funds for the construction the sidewalks which shall be dedicated to the City. The developer
shall be required to escrow these funds in the amount of $ ___________, which includes
contingencies, engineering, and design. This escrow requirement shall be fulfilled prior to the signing
and filing of the approved final plat.

construction becoming a party to the request. Where construction is permitted, all finished floor elevations shall be a
minimum of two feet above the 100-year flood elevation.
C. Development of Flood Plain – Land within the 100-year flood plain shall be subject to the Colleyville Flood
Plain Ordinance. Any land which in the natural state is subject to a 100-year flood or which cannot be
properly drained shall not be subdivided, re-subdivided, or developed until receipt of evidence that the
construction of specific improvements proposed by the developer can be expected to yield a usable
building site. Thereafter, the Planning and Zoning Commission may recommend approval of the plat.
However, construction upon such land shall be prohibited until the specific improvements have been
planned and construction completed.

Exemption: A lot platted under this Section that contains an existing single-family dwelling at the
time a subdivision plat application is filed with the City and the lot is situated with a zoning district that
allows single-family residential uses, said lot shall have an automatic exemption from the perimeter
street costs, provided that existing perimeter street facilities are sufficient to assure the safe, effective
and orderly movement of traffic in and about the subdivision and utility services are adequate to serve
the development. The following notation shall be placed on the plat: “Any future divisions of these
lots will require full compliance with the unimproved street requirements applicable at the time of any
subsequent replatting.”
Section 9.17 Street Design Criteria
A. Street Functional Classification – All streets shall be designed in accordance with the functional
classification shown on the most recent version of the Master Thoroughfare Plan and the following:
Functional Classification of Streets
Street
Classification
Functions - Uses
Local
Carries traffic from residential and commercial areas to collector streets and
interconnects individual sites. Local streets carry light traffic volumes and trips are of a
short duration.
Collector
Major
Minor
Carries traffic from local streets to arterial streets. Uses served would include medium
and high density residential, limited commercial facilities, elementary schools, some
small offices and as direct access within industrial parks. Collector streets also carry
heavy traffic to major commercial and industrial facilities from arterial streets. Uses
would include office parks, industrial parks, and community level commercial facilities.
Arterial
Major
Minor
The main function of an arterial is to carry traffic from on urban area to another. The
arterial streets serve the major activity centers of urbanized areas. An arterial street is
used for longer urban trips and carries a high portion of the total traffic with a minimum
of mileage.
B. Street Design
1. In-General – Streets shall be designed with due regard to topography, with due consideration of the
abutting uses, and the anticipated destination of traffic and traffic volumes at full development of the
neighborhood. Where necessary to prevent traffic congestion and to ease the movement of vehicles
to and from principal traffic generators, additional right-of-way width or other special design shall be
provided. Where topographical conditions make other treatment necessary to secure the best overall
design, these standards may be modified by the approving body.
2. Street Continuity – The street layout shall provide for the continuation of the collector street system as
shown on the Master Thoroughfare Plan. Streets shall provide connection to streets in adjacent
subdivisions, but local streets shall be designed so as to discourage use by through traffic and to
require the minimum number of streets necessary for convenient and safe access to property.
3. Curvilinear Streets Encouraged - The subdivider is encouraged to consider curvilinear, cul-de-sac,
and loop street designs where such use would result in a more functional layout and not necessarily
adhere to a rigid rectangular gridiron street pattern.
4. Right-of-way Widths – Every subdivision plat shall dedicate sufficient right-of-way to comply with the
requirements of the Master Thoroughfare Plan. The right-of-way widths shall be designed for the
intended use and anticipated traffic volume at optimum development of the area served. Additional
right-of-way may be required at street intersections and to provide for left and right turn lanes at high-
volume intersections.
5. Cul-de-sac Lengths – No street shall be designed as a permanent dead-end street, but shall be
designed to incorporate a cul-de-sac which complies with this Section. (O-00-1261 / 12-19-00)
Proposed Changes to Chapter 9
Colleyville, Texas, Land Development Code
Chapter 9 – Subdivision Design & Public Facilities Page 9 - 10
a. Diameter – A cul-de-sac street shall be provided at the closed end with a minimum property line
right-of-way diameter of one hundred feet, and a pavement turn-around with a minimum outside
diameter of eighty feet (80’). (O-00-1261 / 12-19-00)
b. Length – No cul-de-sac street shall exceed six hundred feet (600’) in length, unless additional
right-of-way width and additional pavement width are provided as required in this Section.
Furthermore, no cul-de-sac street shall exceed the maximum length of one-thousand two
hundred feet (1,200’). For purpose of this regulation, cul-de-sac length shall be measured along
the centerline of the cul-de-sac from the intersecting street right-of-way line to the center point of
the cul-de-sac. (O-00-1261 / 12-19-00)
c. Width – A cul-de-sac street shall have a minimum right-of-way width of fifty feet (50’) and a
minimum pavement width of thirty-one feet (31’), back-to-back of curb. However, a cul-de-sac
street which exceeds six-hundred feet (600’) in length shall have a minimum right-of-way width of
fifty-six feet (56’) and minimum pavement width of thirty-six feet (36’), back-to-back of curb. (O-00-
1261 / 12-19-00)
d. Maximum Number of Lots – The maximum number of single-family lots served on a cul-de-sac
street shall be as shown in the following table: (O-00-1261 / 12-19-00)
Maximum SF Residences Served on Cul-de-sac
District Max. Number of Lots Served
AG 5
RE 5
R-40 10
R-30 10
R-20 12
R-15 12
PUD-R 12
e. Temporary Turn-Around – A temporary turn-around is required when a street is temporarily dead-
ended and is longer one-hundred and fifty (150) feet, as measured from the intersecting street
right-of-way line. The temporary turn-around shall be within a temporary easement and
constructed of asphalt or concrete. (O-00-1261 / 12-19-00)
6. Temporary Dead-End Streets - Temporary dead-end streets shall have provision for future extension
of the street and utilities and, if a temporary cul-de-sac is utilized, a reversionary right to the land
abutting the turnaround for excess right-of-way shall be provided.
7. Stub-outs for Future Extensions - Permanent dead-end roads shall not be allowed. The street layout
shall be extended to the tract boundary to provide for future access into adjoining tracts to assure
adequate neighborhood circulation, unless prevented by topography or other physical conditions, or
unless, the Planning and Zoning Commission determines that the extension is neither necessary for
future development of adjacent tracts. In general, these extensions should be not more than one
thousand (1,000) feet apart.
8. Pavement Required - All street surfaces within or abutting the proposed subdivision shall be paved,
with curbs and gutters installed, and constructed in accordance with the standards and specifications
contained elsewhere in this Land Development Code.
9. Frontage Access Road - Where a subdivision abuts or contains an existing or proposed collector
street or railroad right-of-way or abuts a commercial or industrial land use, the City may require a
frontage street approximately parallel to and on each side of such right-of-way to separate through
Proposed Changes to Chapter 9
Colleyville, Texas, Land Development Code
Chapter 9 – Subdivision Design & Public Facilities Page 9 - 11
and local traffic, or reverse frontage with screen planting contained in a non-access reservation along
the rear property line, deep lots with rear service alleys, or equivalent treatment as may be necessary
for adequate protection of residential properties.
10. Half Streets - Half streets shall be prohibited, except where essential to the reasonable development
of the subdivision in conformity with the other requirements of these regulations, and where the
Planning and Zoning Commission finds it will be practicable to require the dedication of the other half
when the adjoining land is subdivided, the other half of the street shall be platted within such tract.
11. Number of Subdivision Entryways – Every subdivision shall be designed to provide sufficient access
into the development to accommodate anticipated traffic demands and to provide for emergency
public services using the criteria contained in this Section. (O-01-1280 / 08-08-01)
a. Where a proposed subdivision, or cul-de-sac street, contains more than twelve (12) lots, the
development shall provide for two entryways as follows:
i. The development shall provide one street entryway and one emergency access easement.
The emergency access easement shall be located on an adjacent or opposite side of the
subdivision from the main entryway. The widths of the right-of-way and driving surfaces of
the street entryway and the emergency access easement shall be in accordance with the
standards contained elsewhere in this Land Development Code, or
ii. The development shall provide two street entryways separated not less than one-hundred
feet between the centerlines of the driving surfaces. The widths of the right-of-way and
driving surfaces of the two entryways shall be in accordance with the standards
contained elsewhere in this Land Development Code, or
iii. The development shall provide a divided entryway and one emergency access easement.
The driving surfaces of the divided entryway shall be separated by a median not less than ten
(10) feet in width and provide for one-way traffic. The widths of the right-of-way and driving
surfaces of the divided entryway shall be in accordance with the standards contained
elsewhere in this Land Development Code. The emergency access easement shall be
located on an adjacent or opposite side of the subdivision from the main entryway and be
constructed in accordance with the standards contained elsewhere in this Land Development
Code.
b. If it is physically impractical or otherwise impossible to provide two entryways or to incorporate an
emergency access easement into the development in accordance with the above stated
requirements, the following alternative may be considered by the approving body:
i. A single pavement width of forty-one (41) feet shall be constructed. Said pavement shall
extend back from the intersecting street right-of-way a minimum distance of one-hundred
(100’) feet. All residences within the subdivision shall contain automatic fire-sprinkler
systems.
c. If it is physically impractical or otherwise impossible to comply with the above-stated
requirements, an alternative design may be submitted to the City Council for consideration. The
approving body may approve the alternate design if it finds that the above-state requirements can
not be satisfied and that all efforts have been made by the developer to comply with said
requirements.
12. Reverse Curves - Between reverse curves there shall be a tangent section of centerline not less than
one hundred feet (100’) long.
C. Intersections
Proposed Changes to Chapter 9
Colleyville, Texas, Land Development Code
Chapter 9 – Subdivision Design & Public Facilities Page 9 - 12
1. Streets shall be laid out so as to intersect as nearly as possible at right angles. A proposed
intersection of two (2) new streets at an angle of less than seventy-five (75) degrees shall not be

with any existing intersections on the opposite side of such street Not more than two (2) streets shall
intersect at any one point unless specifically approved by the City.
3. Street jogs with centerline offsets of less than one hundred thirty-five (135) feet shall not be permitted.
4. Local streets intersecting a collector street or larger shall have a tangent section of centerline at least
fifty (50) feet in length measured from the right-of-way line of the collector street; however, no such
tangent is required when the minor street curve has a centerline radius greater than four hundred
(400) feet with the center located on the collector street right-of-way line.
5. At local street intersections, the property line corner shall be rounded by an arc having a radius of
twelve (12) feet. This radius shall be increased when the smallest angle of intersection is less than
eighty (80) degrees. At intersections of streets with major and collector streets the property line
corners shall be rounded by an arc having a radius of twenty-five (25) feet. The approving body may
submit comparable cut-offs or cords in place of rounded corners.
6. Where practical, spacing of intersections along collector streets shall be at least 500 feet apart.
D. Easements – Easements for drainage and utility construction, service, and maintenance shall be provided
in locations approved by the City and affected utilities according to the following standards:
1. Easement for the use of public utilities of not less than seven and one-half (7.5') feet in width shall be
provided on each lot and extend along the entire length of the rear property line. Easements shall
connect with easements already established on adjoining properties or extend to connect with a
public right-of-way. No lot shall be shown with an easement which prevents proper development and
full utilization of the lot as a suitable building site for the intended zoning district.
2. For lots of more than two hundred (200) feet deep, the utility easement shall be not less than sixteen
(16) feet wide.
3. The width of any drainage easement shall be determined by the City Engineer or in accordance with
the need for drainage improvements established by any drainage study.

Section 9.18 Traffic Impact Analysis
When a proposed subdivision plat is estimated to generate more than 1,000 vehicle trips per day, a traffic
impact analysis shall be required with the earliest submittal of a plat application. The traffic impact analysis
shall be prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Director of Public Services. The purpose of the
traffic impact analysis is to determine the need for traffic mitigation measures which may include, but are not
limited to, dedication of additional right-of-way, construction of turning lanes, or construction of traffic control
facilities. This requirement may be waived when a traffic impact analysis was submitted at the time the
current zoning was adopted and the traffic impact analysis is less than one year old. Any mitigating measures
required shall be the responsibility of the developer, unless a cost-sharing agreement is approved by the City.
Section 9.19 Sidewalks
A. General Sidewalk Requirement – Sidewalks shall be constructed prior to completion of any primary

Proposed Changes to Chapter 9
Colleyville, Texas, Land Development Code
Chapter 9 – Subdivision Design & Public Facilities Page 9 - 14
Special use Permit; or, (3) front on a new street dedicated in conjunction with a subdivision plat. The
sidewalks shall be constructed adjacent to and within the public street right-of-way and include curb
ramps where applicable. Where no public right-of-way exists, the sidewalk shall be located within a
public access easement that provides accommodation of the future street right-of-way dedication. When
a subdivision is proposed with a masonry or other permanent perimeter screening wall adjacent to a
street, the sidewalk shall be constructed by the developer at the same time as the -screening wall. All
sidewalks shall conform to the standards and specifications contained in this Land Development Code.
Other than properties zoned as Planned Unit Developments or containing Special Use Permits with
specific sidewalk provisions, any variance to the sidewalk construction requirements described above
shall be considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
1. Appeal to City Council – The decision by the Planning and Zoning Commission shall be final,
unless the applicant submits a written notice of appeal within ten (10) days from the date of the
action by the Commission to the enforcement official. If an appeal is received within ten (10)
days as described above, the enforcement official shall place the applicant’s appeal request on
the next available agenda for consideration by the City Council.
2. Applicability of Past Appeals to the City Council – All sidewalk appeal requests considered by the
Planning and Zoning Commission between March 3, 2009 and December 18, 2012 may appeal
the decision of the Planning and Zoning Commission regarding said appeals considered within
said time frame per the provisions of section one to the City Council subject to the following
provisions:
a. All appeals allowed by section two must be filed no later than April 18, 2013.
b. All appeals allowed by section two shall be sent in writing to the Director of Community
Development.
The decision of the Planning and Zoning Commission shall be considered to be final. The
sidewalks shall be constructed adjacent to and within the public street right-of-way and include
curb ramps where applicable. Where no public right-of-way exists, the sidewalk shall be located
within a public access easement that provides accommodation of the future street right-of-way
dedication. When a subdivision is proposed with a masonry or other permanent perimeter
screening wall adjacent to a street, the sidewalk shall be constructed by the developer at the
same time as the -screening wall. All sidewalks shall conform to the standards and specifications
contained in this Land Development Code.
B. Trails System Sidewalks – When a proposed sidewalk coincides with the general location of a future
sidewalk shown in the most recently approved Colleyville Trails System Plan, the sidewalk shall be
constructed in accordance with the design standards for a trails system sidewalk. The standards and
specifications for a trails system sidewalk are contained elsewhere in this Land Development Code. The
developer shall be required to provide additional street right-of-way dedication or a public access
easement of sufficient width to accommodate the trails system sidewalk. Where the trails system
sidewalk will be located at the rear or to the side of a lot, such as within a green-belt or similar open
space, the developer shall provide sufficient right-of-way or public access easement to accommodate the
sidewalk.
Section 9.20 Street Lighting
A. General Requirements – The developer shall be required to install, at no cost to the City, a street lighting
system at all street intersections, at the end of all cul-de-sac streets, and at additional locations in

special conditions exist.
C. Frontage on Public Access Required – All lots shall have frontage on a public street, except a non-
residential lot may be approved when the proposed public access has been determined by City to be
adequate to meet the intent of this requirement. The lot line common to the street right-of-way line shall
be the front line; except that a lot may have more than one lot line common to a street right-of-way line.
D. Access from Major Thoroughfares
1. Residential Lots - No residential lot shall front on or derive access directly from an existing or
proposed collector street, or larger, as shown on the Master Thoroughfare Plan, except where the
proposed subdivision meets all the following criteria:
a. Where the only street frontage which may be provided to the residential lot is from a collector
street due to the shape, topography, or other physical condition of the property;
b. The City Engineer has provided favorable recommendation; and.
c. Where the residential lot is designed and dimensioned to permit loop driveways or on-site
turnaround facilities so that vehicles head into the collector street.
2. Non-residential Lots – Non-residential lots which have frontage onto or derive access directly from an
existing or proposed collector street, or larger, as shown on the Master Thoroughfare Plan, shall have
Exhibit "A"
Colleyville, Texas, Land Development Code
Chapter 9 – Subdivision Design & Public Facilities Page 9 - 3
driveway locations which comply with the spacing requirements established elsewhere in Chapter 14
– Engineering Design Standards of this Land Development Code.
E. Buildable Area – Every lot shall contain a buildable area that is adequate in size for the proposed
development. The buildable area shall be situated out of the 100 year flood plain.
F. Flag Lots Prohibited – It is the policy of the City to prohibit the creation of flag lots unnecessarily, and to
discourage the creation of any lot which, by virtue of its relatively great depth in relation to its width, is
likely to facilitate future requests for re-subdivision to create a flag lot.
G. Building Lines – Front building lines shall be shown on all lots in the subdivision. Building lines shall be
shown along each street-facing of corner lots and through-lots. The building line shall be consistent with
the requirements of the applicable zoning district, however, the City may approve a building line which
differs from the zoning requirements when special conditions exist.
H. Side Lot Lines – Where possible, all side lot lines shall be at right angles to straight street lines and radial
to curved street lines.
I. Lot Drainage and Grading
1. Grading and drainage of all lots shall be designed in a manner which will allow one lot to drain across
an adjacent lot and into a permanent structure, such as a concrete flume, lined channel, or proper
inlet to an adequate drainage facility, or to a street right-of-way. If an approved drainage structure is
not present, it will be required of the developer to construct the necessary facilities. (O-00-1261 / 12-19-
00)
2. Sheet flow techniques shall be used for lot to lot drainage where possible. (O-00-1261 / 12-19-00)
3. Single lots shall accommodate their own drainage into an approved structure where topographic
elevations allow this to occur. (O-00-1261 / 12-19-00)
Section 9.8 Waterbodies and Water Courses
If a tract being subdivided contains a water body, or portion thereof, lot lines shall be drawn so as to distribute
the entire ownership of the water body among the adjacent lots. The City may approve an alternate plan
provided the ownership of and responsibility for maintenance of the water body is so placed that it will not
become a City responsibility. Where a watercourse separates the buildable area of a lot from the street by
which it has access, provision shall be made for installation of a culvert or other structure, of design approved
by the City. Any lot which includes a water body and contains a building site, contain a buildable area that is
not less than the minimum buildable area for the applicable zoning district.
Section 9.9 Street Names
The developer shall submit all existing and proposed street names on any proposed subdivision plat. New
street names shall be sufficiently different in sound and in spelling from other road names in the city so as to
not cause confusion to the general public or for emergency response. A road which is, or planned, as a
continuation of an existing road shall bear the same name.
Section 9.10 Reserve Strips and Common Areas
The creation of reserve strips shall not be permitted adjacent to a proposed street or to adjacent property in
such a manner as to deny access from adjacent property to the street. No common areas shall be allowed in
Exhibit "A"
Colleyville, Texas, Land Development Code
Chapter 9 – Subdivision Design & Public Facilities Page 9 - 4
a subdivision except where notation has been placed on the plat to prohibit development on the common
area.
Section 9.11 Double Frontage Lots
Double frontage and reversed frontage lots shall be avoided except where necessary to provide separation of
residential development from a collector street or to overcome specific disadvantages of topography and
orientation. The City may require that a notation be placed on the plat to limit the facing of main structures or
to limit driveway access from a collector street.
Section 9.12 General Infrastructure Policy
(03-03-09 / O-09-1712)
A. General Requirement – The developer of a subdivision shall install all water, sewer, street, sidewalk and
drainage improvements, and any other facilities required by this Land Development Code, which are
necessary for the proper development of the subdivision. The design, construction and inspection of any
public facilities shall be a cost to the developer, unless the City has entered into an agreement for cost
sharing. All such facilities shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the criteria contained in
this Land Development Code and be in conformance with the general layout of the City of Colleyville
Master Land Use Plan and Capital Improvements Plan. The public facility requirement of this section
shall be applicable to the upgrading of any existing facilities which do not meet current standards.
B. Apportionment of Infrastructure Costs – As a condition of the approval of a development, the developer’s
portion of the costs may not exceed the amount required for infrastructure improvements that are roughly
proportionate to the projected impact of the proposed development, as determined by a professional
engineer, licensed in the State of Texas, and who is retained by the City of Colleyville.
1. In making the rough proportionality determination, consideration shall be given to the availability of
adequate and minimum levels of public facilities and accessibility to the site for delivery of emergency
services.
2. The professional engineer making the proportionality determination may rely on categorical findings
from comparable public improvement projects for establishing a cost basis. The basis used for
determining estimated costs shall be revised annually on July 1 by the Colleyville Engineering
Department.
3. A developer who disputes the determination by said professional engineer may appeal to the City
Council and present testimony and evidence in support of the appeal. The appeal shall be written
and filed with the City Secretary within ten (10) days after the date action taken by the Planning and
Zoning Commission on the development proposal. The developer shall not be required to waive the
right to appeal as a condition of approval of the development project.
C. Optional Escrow Provision – Where, in the opinion of the City, construction of a required public
improvement should be deferred to a future date, the developer shall place in escrow with the City, an
amount equal to the estimated cost of the improvements, as determined by the City Engineer. The
Planning and Zoning Commission or City Council may consider an alternate arrangement when
appropriate. Any escrow related to the construction of sidewalks shall adhere to the requirements set
forth in Section F.
D. City Participation in Over-Sizing – Where over-sizing of a public improvement is required by the
Comprehensive Master Plan, Thoroughfare Plan, Water or Sewer Capital Improvements Plan or other
planning document adopted by the City, City participation shall be in accordance with the provisions of
any applicable Impact Fee Ordinance or City-Developer Agreement, which has been approved by the City
Council.
E. Public Easements – All public improvements shall be constructed within easements or rights-of-way that
have been dedicated for public use. The width of an easement or right-of-way shall be in accordance
with the specifications contained elsewhere in this Land Development Code.
Exhibit "A"
Colleyville, Texas, Land Development Code
Chapter 9 – Subdivision Design & Public Facilities Page 9 - 5
F. Escrow Policy for Sidewalks
1. Request for Escrow
Payments into escrow in lieu of constructing any sidewalk may only occur where recommended by the
Supplemental Sidewalk System Map. The only exceptions to this requirement shall be as recommended by
the Planning and Zoning Commission and/or City Council either as a condition to a formal sidewalk waiver
request or as part of a Special Use Permit or Planned Unit Development request.
2. Deposit with the City
Whenever the City agrees to accept escrow deposits in lieu of construction by the owner of the property
under these regulations, the property owner or developer shall deposit an amount equal to his share of the
costs of design and construction in escrow with the City. This amount shall be paid prior to release of
construction plans by the Director of Public Works. The obligations and responsibilities of the property
owner shall become those of the property owner’s transferees, heirs, successors, and assigns; and the
liability therefore shall be joint and several.
3. Determination of Escrow Amount
The amount of the escrow shall be determined by using the average of the comparable bids awarded by
the City in the preceding six (6) months for sidewalk design and construction or, if none exist, then current
market value of the design and construction of a sidewalk in the City, to be determined by the Director of
Public Works. The determination shall be based on reasonable current market value made as of the time
the escrow is due.
4. Termination of Escrow
Escrows fees paid to the City pursuant to this Section shall be held for a period of ten (10) years from the
date of the deposit. If the City has not expended such funds on a sidewalk with the Sidewalk District of the
dwelling unit that deposited the sidewalk escrow fee, and upon written request from the original party
making the deposit, such funds shall be returned to the original party that paid the escrow fees with
accrued interest, subject to the limitations in Subsection 6. Such return does not remove any obligations of
the dwelling unit for construction of required improvement(s) if a building permit is applied for.
5. Refund
If any public improvement for which escrow is deposited is constructed or is reconstructed by another
governmental authority at no cost to the City, the escrow funds and accrued interest shall be refunded to
the property owner or developer after completion and acceptance of the public improvements. In the event
that a portion of the cost is borne by the City and the other portion of the cost by another governmental
authority, the difference between the owner’s actual proportionate cost and the escrow funds, including
accrued interest, if any, shall be refunded after completion and acceptance of the improvements.
6. Interest Limitation
If for any reason money is refunded within six (6) months of deposit, only the principal will be refunded.
Monies returned after this date will be refunded with interest accrued calculated at one percent (1%) less
than the rate of actual earnings received on the escrowed funds.
7. Waiver of Escrow
The Developer may apply to the Planning and Zoning Commission for a waiver of the requirement to
construct a sidewalk or escrow funds in lieu of construction as described in Section 9.19.
8. Use of Escrow Funds
Six (6) Sidewalk Districts are hereby established throughout the City. These districts shall share the
same boundaries as the six (6) neighborhoods depicted on the Neighborhood Boundary Map in the
2004 – 2025 Colleyville Plan. The Sidewalk Districts are established so that sidewalk escrow funds will
Exhibit "A"
Colleyville, Texas, Land Development Code
Chapter 9 – Subdivision Design & Public Facilities Page 9 - 6
be expended within sufficient proximity to the dwelling unit that deposited the sidewalk escrow fee so
as to reasonably benefit that dwelling unit. Funds escrowed pursuant to this Section shall be expended
on design and construction of sidewalks located at any place within the same Sidewalk District as the
dwelling unit depositing the sidewalk escrow fee.
Form for Escrow
An escrow for the construction of a sidewalk pursuant to this Section shall be in the following form:
In lieu of constructing the necessary sidewalks in the development, the developer shall be required to
escrow funds for the construction the sidewalks which shall be dedicated to the City. The developer
shall be required to escrow these funds in the amount of $ ___________, which includes
contingencies, engineering, and design. This escrow requirement shall be fulfilled prior to the signing
and filing of the approved final plat.

placed in the dedication instrument of the subdivision plat:
Drainage Easement Restriction: No construction or filling, without the written approval of the City of Colleyville shall be
allowed within a drainage easement, and then only after detailed engineering plans and studies show that no flooding will
result, that no obstruction to the natural flow of water will result, and subject to all owners of the property affected by such
construction becoming a party to the request. Where construction is permitted, all finished floor elevations shall be a
minimum of two feet above the 100-year flood elevation.
C. Development of Flood Plain – Land within the 100-year flood plain shall be subject to the Colleyville Flood
Plain Ordinance. Any land which in the natural state is subject to a 100-year flood or which cannot be
properly drained shall not be subdivided, re-subdivided, or developed until receipt of evidence that the
construction of specific improvements proposed by the developer can be expected to yield a usable
building site. Thereafter, the Planning and Zoning Commission may recommend approval of the plat.
However, construction upon such land shall be prohibited until the specific improvements have been
planned and construction completed.
D. Floodway Easements
1. Floodway easements shall be provided along natural drainage-ways and lakes reservations.
Floodway easements shall encompass all areas beneath the water surface elevation of the base

no flooding will result.
E. Off-Site Drainage – The following provisions shall be applicable to off-site drainage of new subdivisions:
1. The developer shall be responsible for all runoff from fully developed property upstream of the
proposed development.
2. Where a drainage study indicates that additional runoff from the developing property will overload
downstream drainage facilities and result in hazardous conditions, the City may withhold approval of
the development until appropriate provisions have been made. These provisions shall include any
drainage design or construction plans necessary to accommodate the off-site drainage problem.
Section 9.16 Street Improvement Requirements
A. General Requirement – The developer shall construct, at his expense, street facilities necessary for the
proper development of the subdivision. The street system shall provide access to every lot in the
subdivision and be designed and constructed in accordance with the criteria contained in this Land

Exhibit "A"
Colleyville, Texas, Land Development Code
Chapter 9 – Subdivision Design & Public Facilities Page 9 - 8
1 Improvements Required – If a proposed subdivision is situated adjacent to an existing street or
municipal utility, which does not meet the standards contained in this Land Development Code, the
developer shall bear the cost for constructing the infrastructure improvements required by this Land
Development Code in accordance with the General Infrastructure Policy contained elsewhere in the
Land Development Code.
For the purpose of this regulation, the calculation used for estimating the reconstruction costs for an
unimproved street shall include all street paving, curb and gutter, sidewalks, hike and bike trails,
water and sewer utilities, and drainage improvements. The improvements shall be sized in
accordance with the most recently approved Master Thoroughfare Plan or Capital Improvements
Plan, which is applicable.
2. Escrow – The Administrative Official may recommend approval of a subdivision plat to the Approving
Body conditioned upon the deposit in escrow of the estimated costs of the adjacent unimproved street
and utility improvements in-lieu of the actual construction of said facilities. Any escrow, without
interest, shall be applied against any assessment for improvements levied on such property, but shall
not be deemed to release such property from liability for any future costs assessed which exceed the
escrow.
3. One and Two Lot Residential Subdivisions – If a proposed residential subdivision contains only one
or two lots and the developer does not own any contiguous property, in lieu of actual construction, the
developer shall pay the applicable perimeter street costs in accordance with the General
Infrastructure Policy contained elsewhere in this Land Development Code for the initial one hundred
feet of street frontage. The applicable perimeter street costs shall be reduced 0.2% per linear foot of
frontage in excess of one hundred feet, not to exceed fifty percent of the applicable additional street
frontage.
Exemption: A lot platted under this Section that contains an existing single-family dwelling at the
time a subdivision plat application is filed with the City and the lot is situated with a zoning district that
allows single-family residential uses, said lot shall have an automatic exemption from the perimeter
street costs, provided that existing perimeter street facilities are sufficient to assure the safe, effective
and orderly movement of traffic in and about the subdivision and utility services are adequate to serve
the development. The following notation shall be placed on the plat: “Any future divisions of these
lots will require full compliance with the unimproved street requirements applicable at the time of any
subsequent replatting.”
Section 9.17 Street Design Criteria
A. Street Functional Classification – All streets shall be designed in accordance with the functional
classification shown on the most recent version of the Master Thoroughfare Plan and the following:
Functional Classification of Streets
Street
Classification
Functions - Uses
Local
Carries traffic from residential and commercial areas to collector streets and
interconnects individual sites. Local streets carry light traffic volumes and trips are of a
short duration.
Collector
Major
Minor
Carries traffic from local streets to arterial streets. Uses served would include medium
and high density residential, limited commercial facilities, elementary schools, some
small offices and as direct access within industrial parks. Collector streets also carry
heavy traffic to major commercial and industrial facilities from arterial streets. Uses
would include office parks, industrial parks, and community level commercial facilities.
Arterial
Major
Minor
The main function of an arterial is to carry traffic from on urban area to another. The
arterial streets serve the major activity centers of urbanized areas. An arterial street is
used for longer urban trips and carries a high portion of the total traffic with a minimum
of mileage.
Exhibit "A"
Colleyville, Texas, Land Development Code
Chapter 9 – Subdivision Design & Public Facilities Page 9 - 9
B. Street Design
1. In-General – Streets shall be designed with due regard to topography, with due consideration of the
abutting uses, and the anticipated destination of traffic and traffic volumes at full development of the
neighborhood. Where necessary to prevent traffic congestion and to ease the movement of vehicles
to and from principal traffic generators, additional right-of-way width or other special design shall be
provided. Where topographical conditions make other treatment necessary to secure the best overall
design, these standards may be modified by the approving body.
2. Street Continuity – The street layout shall provide for the continuation of the collector street system as
shown on the Master Thoroughfare Plan. Streets shall provide connection to streets in adjacent
subdivisions, but local streets shall be designed so as to discourage use by through traffic and to
require the minimum number of streets necessary for convenient and safe access to property.
3. Curvilinear Streets Encouraged - The subdivider is encouraged to consider curvilinear, cul-de-sac,
and loop street designs where such use would result in a more functional layout and not necessarily
adhere to a rigid rectangular gridiron street pattern.
4. Right-of-way Widths – Every subdivision plat shall dedicate sufficient right-of-way to comply with the
requirements of the Master Thoroughfare Plan. The right-of-way widths shall be designed for the
intended use and anticipated traffic volume at optimum development of the area served. Additional
right-of-way may be required at street intersections and to provide for left and right turn lanes at high-
volume intersections.
5. Cul-de-sac Lengths – No street shall be designed as a permanent dead-end street, but shall be
designed to incorporate a cul-de-sac which complies with this Section. (O-00-1261 / 12-19-00)
a. Diameter – A cul-de-sac street shall be provided at the closed end with a minimum property line
right-of-way diameter of one hundred feet, and a pavement turn-around with a minimum outside
diameter of eighty feet (80’). (O-00-1261 / 12-19-00)
b. Length – No cul-de-sac street shall exceed six hundred feet (600’) in length, unless additional
right-of-way width and additional pavement width are provided as required in this Section.
Furthermore, no cul-de-sac street shall exceed the maximum length of one-thousand two
hundred feet (1,200’). For purpose of this regulation, cul-de-sac length shall be measured along
the centerline of the cul-de-sac from the intersecting street right-of-way line to the center point of
the cul-de-sac. (O-00-1261 / 12-19-00)
c. Width – A cul-de-sac street shall have a minimum right-of-way width of fifty feet (50’) and a
minimum pavement width of thirty-one feet (31’), back-to-back of curb. However, a cul-de-sac
street which exceeds six-hundred feet (600’) in length shall have a minimum right-of-way width of
fifty-six feet (56’) and minimum pavement width of thirty-six feet (36’), back-to-back of curb. (O-00-
1261 / 12-19-00)
d. Maximum Number of Lots – The maximum number of single-family lots served on a cul-de-sac
street shall be as shown in the following table: (O-00-1261 / 12-19-00)

e. Temporary Turn-Around – A temporary turn-around is required when a street is temporarily dead-
ended and is longer one-hundred and fifty (150) feet, as measured from the intersecting street
right-of-way line. The temporary turn-around shall be within a temporary easement and
constructed of asphalt or concrete. (O-00-1261 / 12-19-00)
6. Temporary Dead-End Streets - Temporary dead-end streets shall have provision for future extension
of the street and utilities and, if a temporary cul-de-sac is utilized, a reversionary right to the land
abutting the turnaround for excess right-of-way shall be provided.
7. Stub-outs for Future Extensions - Permanent dead-end roads shall not be allowed. The street layout
shall be extended to the tract boundary to provide for future access into adjoining tracts to assure
adequate neighborhood circulation, unless prevented by topography or other physical conditions, or
unless, the Planning and Zoning Commission determines that the extension is neither necessary for
future development of adjacent tracts. In general, these extensions should be not more than one
thousand (1,000) feet apart.
8. Pavement Required - All street surfaces within or abutting the proposed subdivision shall be paved,
with curbs and gutters installed, and constructed in accordance with the standards and specifications
contained elsewhere in this Land Development Code.
9. Frontage Access Road - Where a subdivision abuts or contains an existing or proposed collector
street or railroad right-of-way or abuts a commercial or industrial land use, the City may require a
frontage street approximately parallel to and on each side of such right-of-way to separate through
and local traffic, or reverse frontage with screen planting contained in a non-access reservation along
the rear property line, deep lots with rear service alleys, or equivalent treatment as may be necessary
for adequate protection of residential properties.
10. Half Streets - Half streets shall be prohibited, except where essential to the reasonable development
of the subdivision in conformity with the other requirements of these regulations, and where the
Planning and Zoning Commission finds it will be practicable to require the dedication of the other half
when the adjoining land is subdivided, the other half of the street shall be platted within such tract.
11. Number of Subdivision Entryways – Every subdivision shall be designed to provide sufficient access
into the development to accommodate anticipated traffic demands and to provide for emergency
public services using the criteria contained in this Section. (O-01-1280 / 08-08-01)
a. Where a proposed subdivision, or cul-de-sac street, contains more than twelve (12) lots, the
development shall provide for two entryways as follows:
i. The development shall provide one street entryway and one emergency access easement.
The emergency access easement shall be located on an adjacent or opposite side of the
subdivision from the main entryway. The widths of the right-of-way and driving surfaces of
the street entryway and the emergency access easement shall be in accordance with the
standards contained elsewhere in this Land Development Code, or
ii. The development shall provide two street entryways separated not less than one-hundred
feet between the centerlines of the driving surfaces. The widths of the right-of-way and
driving surfaces of the two entryways shall be in accordance with the standards
contained elsewhere in this Land Development Code, or
iii. The development shall provide a divided entryway and one emergency access easement.
The driving surfaces of the divided entryway shall be separated by a median not less than ten
(10) feet in width and provide for one-way traffic. The widths of the right-of-way and driving
Exhibit "A"
Colleyville, Texas, Land Development Code
Chapter 9 – Subdivision Design & Public Facilities Page 9 - 11
surfaces of the divided entryway shall be in accordance with the standards contained
elsewhere in this Land Development Code. The emergency access easement shall be
located on an adjacent or opposite side of the subdivision from the main entryway and be
constructed in accordance with the standards contained elsewhere in this Land Development
Code.
b. If it is physically impractical or otherwise impossible to provide two entryways or to incorporate an
emergency access easement into the development in accordance with the above stated
requirements, the following alternative may be considered by the approving body:
i. A single pavement width of forty-one (41) feet shall be constructed. Said pavement shall
extend back from the intersecting street right-of-way a minimum distance of one-hundred
(100’) feet. All residences within the subdivision shall contain automatic fire-sprinkler
systems.
c. If it is physically impractical or otherwise impossible to comply with the above-stated
requirements, an alternative design may be submitted to the City Council for consideration. The
approving body may approve the alternate design if it finds that the above-state requirements can
not be satisfied and that all efforts have been made by the developer to comply with said
requirements.
12. Reverse Curves - Between reverse curves there shall be a tangent section of centerline not less than
one hundred feet (100’) long.
C. Intersections
1. Streets shall be laid out so as to intersect as nearly as possible at right angles. A proposed
intersection of two (2) new streets at an angle of less than seventy-five (75) degrees shall not be
acceptable.
2. Proposed new intersections along one side of an existing street shall, wherever practicable, coincide
with any existing intersections on the opposite side of such street Not more than two (2) streets shall
intersect at any one point unless specifically approved by the City.
3. Street jogs with centerline offsets of less than one hundred thirty-five (135) feet shall not be permitted.
4. Local streets intersecting a collector street or larger shall have a tangent section of centerline at least
fifty (50) feet in length measured from the right-of-way line of the collector street; however, no such
tangent is required when the minor street curve has a centerline radius greater than four hundred
(400) feet with the center located on the collector street right-of-way line.
5. At local street intersections, the property line corner shall be rounded by an arc having a radius of
twelve (12) feet. This radius shall be increased when the smallest angle of intersection is less than
eighty (80) degrees. At intersections of streets with major and collector streets the property line
corners shall be rounded by an arc having a radius of twenty-five (25) feet. The approving body may
submit comparable cut-offs or cords in place of rounded corners.
6. Where practical, spacing of intersections along collector streets shall be at least 500 feet apart.
D. Easements – Easements for drainage and utility construction, service, and maintenance shall be provided
in locations approved by the City and affected utilities according to the following standards:
1. Easement for the use of public utilities of not less than seven and one-half (7.5') feet in width shall be
provided on each lot and extend along the entire length of the rear property line. Easements shall
connect with easements already established on adjoining properties or extend to connect with a
public right-of-way. No lot shall be shown with an easement which prevents proper development and
full utilization of the lot as a suitable building site for the intended zoning district.
Exhibit "A"
Colleyville, Texas, Land Development Code
Chapter 9 – Subdivision Design & Public Facilities Page 9 - 12
2. For lots of more than two hundred (200) feet deep, the utility easement shall be not less than sixteen
(16) feet wide.
3. The width of any drainage easement shall be determined by the City Engineer or in accordance with
the need for drainage improvements established by any drainage study.
4. All utility easements shall be dedicated as utility and/or drainage easements.
5. When an easement is granted for public purposes as a separate instrument, the following statement
of restrictions shall be placed in dedication instrument:
Utility Easements
Any public utility, including the City of Colleyville, shall have the right to move and keep moved all or part of any
building, fences, shrubs, other growths or improvements which in any way endanger or interfere wit h the
construction, maintenance, or efficiency of its respective systems on any of the easements shown on the plat;
and any public utility, including the City of Colleyville, shall have the right at all times of ingress and egress to
and from and upon said easements for the purpose of construction, reconstruction, inspection, patrolling,
maintaining and adding to or removing all or part of its respective systems without the necessity at any time of

specific use easement shall be provided for each utility or drainage facility.
F. Emergency Access Easements – Emergency access easements shall have a clear unobstructed width to
accommodate a pavement section of not less than twenty-four (24) feet in width. The emergency access
easement shall connect at each end to a dedicated public street or shall have a suitable size turnaround
at the dead-end, and appropriate turning space at inside corners to permit free movement of emergency
vehicles. An emergency access easement may be used as a driveway to gain access to parking or

standards contained in Chapter 14 of this Land Development Code.
4. Easement Dimensions – Easements for shared driveways shall be 16 feet in width and 35 feet in
length, but may vary given the shape of the particular tract. Easements extending across the entire
width of the property shall not be less than 24 feet in width.
Section 9.18 Traffic Impact Analysis
When a proposed subdivision plat is estimated to generate more than 1,000 vehicle trips per day, a traffic
impact analysis shall be required with the earliest submittal of a plat application. The traffic impact analysis
shall be prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Director of Public Services. The purpose of the
traffic impact analysis is to determine the need for traffic mitigation measures which may include, but are not
limited to, dedication of additional right-of-way, construction of turning lanes, or construction of traffic control
facilities. This requirement may be waived when a traffic impact analysis was submitted at the time the
current zoning was adopted and the traffic impact analysis is less than one year old. Any mitigating measures
required shall be the responsibility of the developer, unless a cost-sharing agreement is approved by the City.
Section 9.19 Sidewalks
A. General Sidewalk Requirement – Sidewalks shall be constructed prior to completion of any primary
structure for all lots that: (1) front on streets required to have sidewalks as shown on the City’s
Supplemental Sidewalk System Map, or; (2) are required as part of a Planned Unit Development or
Special use Permit; or, (3) front on a new street dedicated in conjunction with a subdivision plat. The
sidewalks shall be constructed adjacent to and within the public street right-of-way and include curb
ramps where applicable. Where no public right-of-way exists, the sidewalk shall be located within a
public access easement that provides accommodation of the future street right-of-way dedication. When
a subdivision is proposed with a masonry or other permanent perimeter screening wall adjacent to a
street, the sidewalk shall be constructed by the developer at the same time as the -screening wall. All
sidewalks shall conform to the standards and specifications contained in this Land Development Code.
Other than properties zoned as Planned Unit Developments or containing Special Use Permits with
specific sidewalk provisions, any variance to the sidewalk construction requirements described above
shall be considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
1. Appeal to City Council – The decision by the Planning and Zoning Commission shall be final,
unless the applicant submits a written notice of appeal within ten (10) days from the date of the
action by the Commission to the enforcement official. If an appeal is received within ten (10)
days as described above, the enforcement official shall place the applicant’s appeal request on
the next available agenda for consideration by the City Council.
2. Applicability of Past Appeals to the City Council – All sidewalk appeal requests considered by the
Planning and Zoning Commission between March 3, 2009 and December 18, 2012 may appeal
the decision of the Planning and Zoning Commission to the City Council subject to the following
provisions:
a. All appeals allowed by Section 2 must be filed no later than April 18, 2013.

Chapter 9 – Subdivision Design & Public Facilities Page 9 - 14
B. Trails System Sidewalks – When a proposed sidewalk coincides with the general location of a future
sidewalk shown in the most recently approved Colleyville Trails System Plan, the sidewalk shall be
constructed in accordance with the design standards for a trails system sidewalk. The standards and
specifications for a trails system sidewalk are contained elsewhere in this Land Development Code. The
developer shall be required to provide additional street right-of-way dedication or a public access
easement of sufficient width to accommodate the trails system sidewalk. Where the trails system
sidewalk will be located at the rear or to the side of a lot, such as within a green-belt or similar open
space, the developer shall provide sufficient right-of-way or public access easement to accommodate the
sidewalk.
Section 9.20 Street Lighting
A. General Requirements – The developer shall be required to install, at no cost to the City, a street lighting
system at all street intersections, at the end of all cul-de-sac streets, and at additional locations in

Title
Consideration of a request for an amendment to the PUD-C-Planned Unit Development
Commercial zoning and development requirements on Lot 1A, Block 1, of the Highland
Acres Addition located at 412 Timberline Drive North, Case ZC12-026
Explanation
Second Reading and Public Hearing
There was one speaker in favor of this request at the December 18, 2012 City Council
meeting.
First Reading and Public Hearing
David Keener, MDJ Texas Realty Holdings, LLC, submitted a request to amend the
attached Ordinance O-11-1814 to remove the crosswalk requirement found in Section
4(11)(b).
Existing Zoning. Ordinance O-11-1814 was approved by City Council on December 6,
2011. This ordinance rezoned 0.8 acres of land from CN-Neighborhood Commercial to
PUD-C-Planned Unit Development Commercial and allows for an assisted living facility.
City Council since approved amendments to the original ordinance by approving
Ordinance O-12-1855 on September 18, 2012, regarding only the fencing requirement
along the western portion of the subject property. Otherwise, the original
approving Ordinance O-11-1814 remains in full effect.
Proposed Ordinance Amendment. The applicant is seeking to amend Ordinance O-
11-1814, specifically Section 4(11)(b)General - in order to remove the crosswalk
section. Section 4(11)(b) states:
"Prior to the issuance of the final certificate of occupancy, a crosswalk shall be marked
across Timberline Drive North between the subject property and 5314 Bransford Road.
Additionally, a pedestrian crossing sign shall be installed on both sides of the
crosswalk. The specifications of the crosswalk and signage shall meet all City
requirements and shall be inspected and approved by the Public Works Director before
the certificate of occupancy is issued. The cost of the crosswalk and signage shall be
paid by the developer."
It is important to note that staff supports this request as well. Upon the final
City Council Agenda Briefing 5b
City of Colleyville Page 2
inspection of the property prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy (C of
O), staff's analysis of the crosswalk requirement, in light of the finished building, was
that the appropriate use of the pedestrian crosswalk will have little to no effect on
pedestrian safety given limited vehicular traffic on Timberline Drive North. Current
vehicle traffic on Timberline Drive North is approximately 340 vehicles per day. This
equates to one car driving by the facility every four minutes on average. Additionally,
it was brought to staff's attention that the applicant intended to traverse the crosswalk
with golf carts. Crosswalks are intended for pedestrian traffic only and they do not
grant right-of-way to utility vehicles, such as golf carts. In order to address golf carts
crossing the street at this location, a pedestrian crosswalk is not needed. However,
advisory warning signage must be posted that advises motorists of the possible
crossing of a golf cart and those signs must be in compliance with the Manual on
Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Therefore, staff recommends the crosswalk
requirement be removed from Ordinance O-11-1814 with a requirement that signage
be posted warning motorists of a golf cart crossing instead, and the cost of the signage
be paid by the business owner.
The assisted living facility authorized under Ordinance O-11-1814 is currently
operating under a temporary C of O pending the outcome of this item. There are no
other outstanding code related issues at this facility.
Surrounding Properties. The property to the north is zoned R20-Single Family
Residential and is currently vacant. The property to the southeast is zoned PUDR-
Planned Unit Development Residential and developed as a general office use. The
property to the northeast is zoned CN-Neighborhood Commercial and is developed as a
general office use. The property to the south is zoned PUD-C-Planned Unit
Development Commercial, and is developed as Silver Ridge Assisted Living.
Public Notification. Staff notified 12 property owners within 200 feet, as well as, all
Homeowners Associations within 500 feet of the subject property regarding this
request. Notice was published in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram as required by state law
and the Land Development Code. Staff has received no correspondence regarding this
request.
Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation. The Planning and Zoning
Commission recommended approval of this request at the November 26, 2012 meeting
by a vote of 7-0 subject to the following conditions:
- Any golf carts accessing the street must adhere to Section 551.404 of the Texas
Transportation Code.
Section 551.404 states: "(a) In addition to the operation authorized by Section
551.403, the governing body of a municipality may allow an operator to operate a golf
cart on all or part of a public highway that:
City Council Agenda Briefing 5b
City of Colleyville Page 3
(1) is in the corporate boundaries of the municipality; and
(2) has a posted speed limit of not more than 35 miles per hour.
(b) A golf cart operated under Subsection (a) must have the following equipment:
(1) headlamps;
(2) taillamps;
(3) reflectors;
(4) parking brake; and
(5) mirrors.
Summary. This request involves removing the crosswalk requirement and adding golf
cart signage instead, but would not affect any other existing zoning provisions.
Financial Impact
There is no financial impact to the City.

Title
Consideration of a request for a Special Use Permit for a donation station on Lot 8A,
Block 1, of the Thompson Terrace Addition located at 5117-B Colleyville Boulevard,
Case ZC12-027
Explanation
First Reading and Public Hearing
Goodwill Industries has applied for a Special Use Permit (SUP) to continue the use of
the existing donation station located at 5117-B Colleyville Boulevard, and allow for
the increase in their current space by 360 square feet.
Charitable Donation Station Use. The City Council approved the addition of a
charitable donation station use to the Schedule of Principal Permitted Uses in the Land
Development Code on February 5, 2008 under attached Ordinance O-08-1656. A
charitable donation station use is contingent upon the approval of a SUP only in the
CC1-Village Retail, CC2-Shopping Center and CC3-Highway Commercial zoning
districts.
Existing Conditions. This subject property is located on the corner of Colleyville
Boulevard and Thompson Terrace. Goodwill has operated a donation station at this
address for approximately ten years. The property owner has reconstructed the
existing commercial building, realigned the parking lot areas and has updated the
building façade, including creating new entrances on the northern side of the building.
The applicant would like to relocate the entrance to the new northern entrances for
safety of the customers, especially when Colleyville Boulevard is widened. Included in
the Statement of Planning Objectives is a rendering of the proposed entrance.
The existing donation station use is a principle use only and, therefore, does not permit
drop boxes, kiosks or trailers that are typically seen in the parking lots of existing
businesses of other area cities. Staff has placed a provision in the proposed ordinance
that there shall be no drop boxes, kiosks or trailers permitted.
As noted above, the use of a charitable donation station requires an SUP. Currently,
the Goodwill location does not have an SUP for this use, as the business was located in
this space prior to the SUP requirement being added to the Land Development Code.
Therefore, it currently operates as a legal non-conforming use. Given the proposed
expansion of the business by the applicant, the use must meet all requirements for
City Council Agenda Briefing 6a
City of Colleyville Page 2
commercial principle uses described in the Land Development Code and the building
code in addition to conditions and requirements included as part of the SUP.
Surrounding Properties. The surrounding properties are a mixture of office, retail,
and restaurant uses and are all zoned CC1-Village Retail.
Public Notification. Staff notified 19 property owners within 200 feet as well as all
Homeowners Associations within 500 feet of the subject property regarding this
request. Notice was published in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram as required by state law
and the Land Development Code. Staff has received no correspondence regarding this
request.
Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation. The Planning and Zoning
Commission recommended approval of this request at the December 10, 2012 meeting
by a vote of 6-0.
Summary. The proposed zoning change is in compliance with the Future Land Use
Plan, which designates the subject property as a future retail development area and is
consistent with the surrounding zoning designations. Although the proposed use will
not generate sales or property tax revenue for the City, staff recommends approval
with the conditions in the proposed ordinance.
Financial Impact
There is no financial impact to the City.
Recommendation
Approval with the following conditions:
a. This Special Use Permit shall only apply to the use of a Goodwill Industries
charitable donation station on the subject property.
b. There shall be no overnight parking of any tractor-trailers or trailers on the
property.
c. There shall be no outside storage of any items on the property.
d. Donated items shall not be placed outside of the building at any time and must be
stored within the building immediately upon drop-off.
e. There shall be no donation kiosks or other related donation structures independent
of the main structure located on this property.
f. The Special Use Permit shall automatically expire upon the abandonment of the
business, change in use, a change in ownership, or upon the expiration or termination
of the Certificate of Occupancy for the approved use.

Title
Consideration of approval for a change in ownership from Titan Operating, LLC, to
Atlas Resource Partners, L.P., per the requirements of Section 3.1-145(E)2 of the Land
Development Code, for the gas well site located at 7504 Pleasant Run Road,
authorized by Special Use Permit Ordinance O-10-1779
Explanation
Reading and Public Hearing
The purpose of this item involves the approval of a change in ownership for the gas
well operator authorized to perform drilling and gas production activities at 7504
Pleasant Run Road per Special Use Permit (SUP) Ordinance O-10-1779. Section 3.1-
145(E)2 of the Land Development Code states: "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". Ordinance O-
10-1779 (attached) was approved by the City Council on November 16, 2010. The
ordinance authorizes Titan Operating, LLC, to drill and produce 14 gas wells on the pad
site at 7504 Pleasant Run Road.
Per the attached letter, the proposed ownership change involves the merger of Titan
Operating, LLC to Atlas Resource Partners, L.P. The original management structure for
the subsidiary of Atlas Resource Partners, L.P., Atlas Barnett, LLC, remains in place.
The actual merger occured in July 2012, per the attached Evidence of Merger. Staff
initially notified Atlas in August 2012 that City Council approval is required for the
change in ownership. Atlas recently notified staff of its intention to perform another
phase of hydraulic fracturing (fracking) at 7504 Pleasant Run Road. Staff reiterated
the requirement noted above to Atlas and a formal request was received.
An SUP amendment is not required for this action. As such, this item involves only the
approval of a resolution.
Financial Impact
There is no financial impact to the City.

Exhibit C -Statement of Planning Objectives
STATEMENT OF PLANNING OBJECTIVES
TITAN OPERATING, LLC
TCC SUP
PLANNING OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this SUP is to establish a well site. a frac pond, and access road for the drilling.
completion, and operating of multiple gas wells within the areas designated by the SUP Site Plan.
WELL SITE LOCATION
The well site location for the Titan TCC wells is identified on the SUP Site Plan. Titan will drill
multiple horizontal wells from the proposed well site to develop approximately 1300 acres of Titan
leases. The proposed gas development will focus on the Barnett Shale, encountered at
subsurface depths at approximately 8,900 feet.
VEHICULAR ACCESS TO THE WELL SITE LOCATION
Vehicular access to the well site will be from SH 26, west on Tinker, north on Pleasant Run Road,
to the well site entrance.
The drive approach from Pleasant 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
roadway onto the lease road. Fire access will be provided and the road will be maintained in
accordance with all local. state and federal requirements.
DEVELOPMENT PHASING
Titan Operating anticipates the initial construction on the TCC pad site to begin January. 2011.
After construction of the pad site Titan anticipates the drilling of 3 wells; each of which will take
approximately 30 days. After the initial test Titan anticipates drilling a total of approximately 14
wells off the site over the next 5 to 7 years. All producing wells will be plugged at the end of their
economic life. All plugging will be in accordance with applicable Texas Railroad Commission
regulations.
ACCESSORY STRUCTURES
Accessory uses for the proposed gas development will include well heads, storage 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 drill site and operations site identifying the
entrance to the site and include the well names and numbers, name of the operator. emergency
911 number, and the telephone numbers for 24 hour emergency contacts.
No refining, except for gas dehydrating and physical phase separation will take place on this site.
Temporary diesel fuel tanks, generators, construction trailers, steel mud pits. pipe racks, and
drilling rig will be located within the drilling pad site. The drilling rig and associated drilling
2244\007\16659.1
Exhibit C -Statement of Planning Objectives (Cont.)
equipment shall be removed from the well site as soon as practica! after completion of the well or
drilling activities.
WATER CONSUMPTION
Once well permits have been obtained from the Texas Railroad Commission and the road and
drill site are constructed, drilling can commence. The drilling of each well will require
approximately 420,000 gallons of water over a three (3) week period.
Once a well has been drilled and determined to have the potential for commercial production, the
completion process will begin. In order for the Barnett 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 water to
hold the 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
gallons of water. Once the water is in place, the actual stimulation process will take
approximately eight (8) hours.
Water for the drilling, as well as the fracture stimulation, will come from a proposed frac pond of
approximately 1.4 acres to be constructed by the operator, with water purchased from the City or
well water. The water stored in this pond will service multiple wells.
WASTE CONTROL
Water and drilling mud utilized during the drilling of the wells will be initially 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 (1-1/2) times the capacity of the largest tank.
Drip pots will be located at pump out connections to contain the liquids from the storage tank.
The tanks will also be equipped with a senSing device that will shut off the well should the tank
become full. 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 PROTECTION
All fire suppression and prevention equipment required by an applicable federal state or local law
will be provided and maintained by the Operator.
All contractors will have portable fire extinguishers at the drill site and fire extinguishers will be
located at various locations at the drill site.
The tank battery facility will be equipped with a remote foam line utilizing a two and one-half (2.5)
inch National Standard Hose Thread female inlet connection in locations approved by the Fire
Department.
A lightning arrestor system will be installed according to the most current edition of the National
Electrical Code.
At any gate enclosure, the City Fire Marshal will be provided a knox box with a key for emergency
access.
2244\007\16659.1
Exhibit C -Statement of Planning Objectives (Cont.)
DRAINAGE
Well-heads, meters, storage tanks, separation facilities, or other post drilling and completion
permanent above ground facilities will be located on a drill site that is graded in such a manner to
be elevated above the 100-year floodplain. Erosion control shall comply with the erosion control
plan approved by the City.
ENVIRONMENTAL
The proposed gas development will be in compliance with all state and federal environmental
regulations and will not adversely affect the floodplain, drainage patterns, or water quality.
Damage to public thoroughfares adjacent to this lease area directly caused by the proposed gas
development will be restored to city standards, as applicable, as each well is completed. Any
damage that poses a safety hazard will be repaired immediately. Any substantial accumulations
of dirt, dust, or other debris deposited on public thoroughfares by gas development will be
removed. Dust, if significant, will be suppressed by using water or other dust suppressants.
Drilling and production operations shall be conducted in a manner to minimize noise levels.
Noise from drilling, completion and rework operations are limited in time from a few days to a few
weeks. Noise from drilling activities will not exceed sixty five (65) decibels at any point three
hundred (300) feet from the boundary of the drill site. Noise from fracturing operations will not
exceed eighty five (85) decibels at any point three hundred (300) feet from the boundary of the
drill site. Noise from the operation site will not exceed fifty five (55) decibels beyond the
boundaries shown on the associated site plan.
Lighting will be shielded and directional toward the well site so that it will not disturb, be a
nuisance, or safety hazard to adjacent properties, residential areas, or public thoroughfares.
SCREENING
Per City ordinance. the equipment on the operation site will be screened from public view by a
combination of screening shrubs that will be installed completely around the well site and the
required screen fence. Irrigation will be installed as necessary. All plant material will be kept in
an attractive state and in good condition.

DEVELOPMENT SCHEDULE
Titan Operating anticipates the initial construction on the TCC pad site to begin the 4th quarter of
2010. After construction of the pad site Titan anticipates the drilling of 2 to 4 wells; each of which
will take approximately 30 days. After the initial test Titan anticipates drilling a total of
approximately 14 wells off the site over the next 5 to 7 years.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INFORMATION
Titan Operating has spent approximately $108,300,000 in lease bonus dollars in the City of
Colleyville to date. Titan has also donated approximately $300,000 to local charities. Titan
estimates that a typical well drilled off the pad site will generate approximately $230,000 per well
in ad valorem taxes for the city over a 15 year period.

Operations
• Operate <111 eLluipment with the potential to emit air c011taminants at least 50 feet
from the nearest property line or the ne,u'est receptor (whichever is closer),
excluding any valve that is used for isolation and or s<lfety purposes.
• Each open-ended valve or IUle will be eLll.upped with" cap, blind flange, plu& or a
second valve to se<ll the line so that no leakage of emissions occurs unless othen\'ise
required to n1aintain &1ie operations ill a vessel or pipeline.
• Tm'lk hatches, not designed to be completely sealed, will remain closed (but not
completely sealed U1 order to m.lu1tau1 safe design fl.U1ctionality) except for sampling
or plmu1ed nlaintenance activities.
• The site will be visited <.:huly by opemtions personnel who will conduct ,'isl.U11
