Item 4KCITY OF
SOUTH LADE
MEMORANDUM
(November 2, 2010)
To: Shana Yelverton, City Manager
From: Robert H. Price, P.E., Director of Public Works
Subject: Approve a commercial developer's agreement with Carroll
Independent School District for Jack D. Johnson Elementary
School located at 1301 North Carroll Avenue
Action
Requested: Approve a commercial developer's agreement with Carroll
Independent School District for Jack D. Johnson Elementary
School located at 1301 North Carroll Avenue.
Background
Information: Carroll Independent School District (CISD) is proposing to construct
building and parking lot improvements to Jack D. Johnson
Elementary School located at 1301 N. Carroll Avenue.
An approximately 3,300 square foot addition to the existing building
will consist of a library expansion and additional administration and
security space. In addition to the added floor space, access
driveways will be reconfigured to improve internal stacking depth
and provide additional parking spaces. The existing 10' asphalt
drive off of N. Carroll Ave. will be demolished and a new drive loop
to the pick up /drop off area will be constructed.
In addition, the public improvements include relocating a 5 x 5
storm inlet in order for the approach for the new drive loop to be
constructed. CISD has also provided a 15 -foot wide sanitary sewer
easement via the Final Plat for a future 8 -inch sanitary sewer
extension across their property at such time that future
development warrants.
Financial
Considerations: School districts are regulated under the Texas Local Government
Code and various other state statutes, such as the Education Code.
These regulations preclude CISD from agreeing to some of the
language and requirements in the city's standard commercial
developer agreement. Therefore, CISD has requested several
revisions to the standard agreement, including:
• Substituting a board resolution for the normally
required surety bonds to cover failure to complete the
project;
• CISD will assign the responsibility for bonding
construction to their general contractor;
• School Districts are not required to pay impact fees
under the Local Government Code; however, by
statute, they are allowed the option to pay them if
their Board approves. Tex. Loc. Gov't Code Section
395.022 (b) provides that a school district is "not
required to pay impact fees ... unless the board of
trustees of the district consents to the payment of the
fees by entering into a contract with the political
subdivision that imposes the fees." The CISD Board
of Trustees has not consented to the payment of any
impact fees.
Strategic Link: The proposed CDA links the city's strategy map relative to the
focus areas of Infrastructure and Performance Management and
Service Delivery. The specific corporate objectives that are met by
the construction of the development are: Collaborating with select
partners to implement service solutions and providing high quality
customer service.
Citizen Input/
Board Review: N/A
Legal Review: The City Attorney's office has reviewed the requested changes to
the CDA.
Alternatives: The City Council may approve or deny the commercial developer's
agreement.

Developer agrees to complete this installation in accordance with
Ordinance No. 170 and shall be responsible for all construction costs,
materials and engineering. In the event that certain water lines are to be

Developer for the oversize cost greater than the cost of an 8" line.
Additionally, the City agrees to provide temporary water service at
Developer's request and expense, for construction, testing and irrigation
purposes only, to improvements during the construction of buildings, even
though sanitary sewer service may not be available to the buildings.

street construction on the specific section of street in which the
utility improvements have been placed or for which they are
programmed. It is understood by and between the Developer and
the City that this requirement is aimed at substantial compliance
with the majority of the pre - planned facilities.
It is understood that in every construction project a decision later

the City Director of Public Works as quickly as possible when such
a need has been identified and to work cooperatively with the City

cost greater than the cost of an 8" line.
E. EROSION CONTROL

installed, the Developer agrees to keep the streets free from soil build -up.
The Developer agrees to use soil control measures, such as those
included in NCTCOG STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS FOR PUBLIC

owed to the City will be collected prior to acceptance of the Addition.
After construction of the Addition and prior to acceptance by the City, the
Developer agrees to have a permanent erosion control plan prepared and
approved by the Director of Public Works and have the plan installed and
