Title
Presentation and discussion of the Colleyville sidewalk policy
Explanation
The City's Land Development Code (LDC), adopted by Ordinance O-00-1214,
addresses the requirements for sidewalk and trail construction related to new
development and redevelopment. The LDC requires a sidewalk to be constructed
adjacent to, or within, public right-of-way on every developing lot, prior to
completion and occupancy of the primary structure. The LDC further requires that
when adequate right-of-way is not available, the sidewalk will be constructed in a
public access easement. The LDC also allows the developer to escrow an amount
equal to the cost of construction of the sidewalk, if it is determined by the City
that construction should be deferred to a future date. Over the years, developers
were allowed to escrow funds for sidewalks without any clear criteria or
justification, and the result was the creation of numerous "missing links" of
sidewalk throughout the City.
In 2008, the Colleyville Sidewalks and Trails Committee worked with staff to
develop the attached Supplemental Sidewalk System Map that clearly identified
locations for construction of sidewalks in areas that were not included in the 2005
Colleyville Pathways Plan (attached). The Committee also developed a list of
factors to be considered when making recommendations to the City Council for the
location of new sidewalks. This Supplemental Sidewalk System Map was adopted
by attached Resolution R-08-3031 on November 18, 2008. The map identified
specific locations where sidewalks were to be constructed. The map included six
categories for construction, as follows:
· Required Sidewalks (between 4' and 6')
· Existing and Proposed Trails (between 8' and 12')
· Cotton Belt Trail (10' wide connecting Grapevine and Hurst)
· Private Walking Paths (May be any size)
· Sidewalks NOT required
· Escrow Option for Sidewalk
In 2009, City Council approved the creation of six sidewalk districts, in order to
better utilize the escrowed sidewalk funds by the adoption of Ordinance O-09-
City Council and
Colleyville Sidewalks Committee

1712 (attached). All property owners, who previously escrowed funds for sidewalk
construction, were notified and advised that these districts were being created and
that the escrowed funds may or may not be used to construct a sidewalk on their
property, but could be constructed anywhere in the district in which their property
was located. They were also advised that their escrowed funds may or may not
be returned, if requested.
The Supplemental Sidewalk System Map, that was adopted in 2008, did not take
into consideration constructability issues, such as bar ditches in the right-of-way
or the lack of adequate right-of-way. On February 7, 2012, City Council approved
attached Resolution R-12-3464, which renamed the Colleyville Sidewalks and
Trails Committee to the Colleyville Sidewalks Committee, and established criteria
to be followed by the Colleyville Sidewalks Committee in developing
recommendations for the location of new sidewalks.
The purpose of tonight's worksession is to review current sidewalk policy, as well
as provide an opportunity for the City Council and the Colleyville Sidewalks
Committee to provide direction with regard to how sidewalks and/or trails should
be addressed. Staff will work to develop policies and procedures that will coincide
with City Council's direction, and will present the new policies and procedures at a
future City Council meeting.
