LeGrand, City Secretary The Special City Council Meeting was called to order at 4:00 p.m. by Mayor Gary Fickes. Agenda Item #2 -A, Executive Session Mayor Fickes advised the audience that Council would be going into executive session pursuant to Chapter 551 of the Texas Government Code, Sections 551.071, 551.072, 551.074, 551.076 of the Open Meetings Act to seek the advice of the City Attorney with respect to pending and contemplated litigations, to discuss the purchase, exchange, lease or sale of real property and to consider the appointment and evaluation of public officials, and regarding the deployment of specific occasions for implementation of security personnel or devises. Council adjourned into executive session at 4 :07 p.m. Council returned to open session at 4:35 p.m. Agenda Item #2 -B, Action Necessary /Executive Session No action was necessary as the result of the executive session. Agenda Item #3, Discussion: Perimeter Road Fee Ordinance. Director of Public Works, Bob Whitehead, stated he received a draft copy of a new Perimeter Fee Ordinance from the City Attorney, for Council to review with the current Perimeter Fee Ordinance. Staff has gone through the current ordinance and revised and tried to condense the old into the new proposed ordinance. The City Attorneys have raised general questions for Council to resolve, as well as staff questions, including: Special City Council Meeting Minutes December 13, 1994 page two Agenda Item #3, Continued 1) Should the ordinance provide that the developer be responsible for payment of a fee for actual construction of the interim street or ultimate street? According to Whitehead, in the old ordinance, it is not really clear, because the developer is paying the $50,000 per mile fee, it really hasn't been an issue. This is not covering the cost of the interim or ultimate street. The City, with the bond issue that was passed, are building interim street cross sections. The interim arterial street costs are based on 1994 estimates. Councilmember Richarme stated when the Road Task Force was active, they worked under the assumption that materials did not change from year to year. Is that or was that a good assumption? Bob Whitehead stated the costs vary from year to year. Eddie Cheatham stated he feels we should expect costs to increase with time. 2) Should the City expect the developers to pay? Mayor Fickes stated, if the city is not ready to do it, we should not expect the developers to pay for it. Richarme agreed. Richarme asked, does the developer in building development, place wear and tear on roads going in and out of the development? Mayor Fickes stated he feels the way we are doing the fees are not fair. Director Whitehead stated he hears City Council as saying we are looking at interim roads as it makes more sense. Councilmember Richarme stated if we don't know what the ultimate road will be by default, it has to be interim. Should this be impact fees or perimeter road fees? Curtis Hawk, City Manager, stated the budget includes funds for a consultant to do a study for the ultimate road. Councilmember Richarme asked that drainage be included in the study for the ultimate road. Bob Whitehead stated the old ordinance leaves so much to the Director of Public Works. He is recommending that those issues come out and addressed in the Developer Agreement. Special City Council Meeting Minutes December 13, 1994 page three Agenda Item #4. Discussion: Assessment Sewer Program. Bob Whitehead, Director of Public Works presented information concerning costs for Lonesome Dove Estates and Emerald Estates off -site sewer, adding, Lonesome Dove Estates is committed to build an off -site lift station to serve both their subdivision and Emerald Estates. Staff have been working with John Levitt on the location of the lift station. Staff has asked Levitt to design the off -site system to locate the lift station at Lonesome Dove Avenue and Dove Street. This would allow the lift station to serve Hunters Creek, and possibly Heatherwood Estates, Royal Oaks and Twin Creeks. A copy of the memorandum from Bob Whitehead, dated December 13, 1994, is hereby attached to the minutes of this meeting. Mr. Whitehead asked if we want to do this and work with the Lonesome Dove Developer. Eddie Cheatham will get estimates for the other three (3) streets, also checking with the residents of that area to see if they want sewer. It was noted that the City has funding through the Bonds. Councilmember Richarme stated he is less concerned about the money, but more concerned with which additions to sewer. Agenda Item #5. Discussion: Northeast Tarrant County Regional Water Supply Study The Director of Public Works, Bob Whitehead, stated at the October 12, 1994, meeting of the Regional Water Supply Group, significant results of the study were presented. Major points include: Each entity's city or MUD representative concurs that the attached plan is best to serve the need of the area. - Of the four "Institutional Options" suggested, 4. Another Entity (such as TRA) could manage and operate a Regional System (Third party option) was selected. Mr. Wayne Hunter, TRA, was present and agreed that TRA was a viable option. The consultants, Alan Plummber and Associates, were directed to request a proposal from TRA for the management and operation of a N.E. Tarrant County Water Supply District. Mr. Hunter suggested a two -year planning time be programmed to accomplish this option once it is officially accepted. - A public meeting is scheduled for January 19, 1995, 6:00 p.m., at Trophy Club MUD #1 office and meeting room. The meeting will present and discuss the "draft" report. - Southlake's water supply needs are the most pressing. Therefore, this plan addresses a second water supply line to be installed along SH 114 from the Trophy Club MUD line. By utilizing the existing 21 -inch line to Trophy Club, Special City Council Meeting Minutes December 13, 1994 page four Agenda Item #5, Continued Southlake could withdraw 1.8 MGD and Trophy Club would still meet their demands. The estimated cost of this supply line would be $734,400. This cost does not include any costs associated with a buy -in rental, etc. with Trophy Club. Also, a ground storage -pump station would need to be built at a cost of approximately $2.5 million. The ground storage would be designed for the ultimate flow of 7.00 MGD. Roger Unger, Trophy Club MUD, has expressed interest in some arrangement to supply water to Trophy Club's elevated tank next to I.B.M. The City should start negotiations with MUD soon as we will need to start construction of these facilities, prior to TRA managing the regional system. - By the year 2000, a 30 -inch line will need to be constructed to "loop" the system. TRA should be managing the system and costs would be shared. - Alan Plummber and Associates are to estimate the value of the existing "in- place" system. Southlake's share of the value and the mechanics of a pay -back will need to be worked out. - Fort Worth has stated they will be involved in any agreement between Trophy Club and Southlake as per Trophy Club's contract. Therefore, we can expect Fort Worth's standard contract will pass through with impact fees. The Public Works Director, Bob Whitehead, stated the committee recommended to Council to look at Fort Worth as a supply, with TRA as Regional operator, maintaining the system. Council adjourned for recess at 5:50 p.m. Council returned to open session at 6:00 p.m. Agenda Item #6, Discussion: Trail Master Plan In October, 1994, the city entered into a contract with Newman Jackson Bieberstein, Inc. to perform professional services for the development of a Trail System Master Plan for bikeways and pedestrian ways for the City of Southlake. Carl Bieberstein was present to introduce a proposed plan to the City Council. Michael Carr, Systems Planner, and Jim Lewis and Todd Smith were also present. Mr. Carr, Systems Planner, explained a bicycle and walking trail gives staff a sense of direction, while reducing the barriers between neighbors. Carr explained the purpose of this plan is to give long range development direction to a Trail System that will serve the needs of pedestrians, bicyclists, and equestrians. Special City Council Meeting Minutes December 13, 1994 page five Agenda Item #6, Continued The Southlake Park and Recreation Master Plan set forth a related goal to conserve and enhance Southlake's remaining natural resources to maintain the City's environmental health and quality of life. A slide presentation was made showing both off -road and on -road trails. Mayor Fickes stated he feels the off -road plan will create the most controversy. The on -road plan is good. The consultant suggested that questions regarding the plan be funneled through Kim McAdams, Greg Last or Janet Murphy.

Preliminary Routing Recommendations • Off -Road Hike and Bike Trails • Equestrian Trails • On -Road Bike Routes IV. Input from Council; Questions from Floor City of Southlake Trail System Master Plan Purpose of Study The purpose of this plan is to give long range development direction to a Trail System that will serve the needs of pedestrians, bicyclists, and equestrians. In accomplishing this, it is anticipated that the system will be composed of the following components: • A dedicated "off- road" hike /bike system located in greenbelts, linear parks, and /or greenways adjacent to selected thoroughfares. • A system of bicycle routes through Southlake utilizing existing and proposed thoroughfares. • An equestrian trail system located in the greenbelts, linear parkways, and open space adjacent to Lake Grapevine. Goals of Plan The current Southlake Park and Recreation Master Plan set forth a related goal that addresses Trail System Planning: Goal 1: Conserve and enhance Southlake's remaining natural resources to maintain the City's environmental health and quality of life. Objective related to this goal: Negotiate with the development community to provide for public access to natural features within flood plains and wooded uplands. As a result of initial interviews with staff and an evaluation of trail system opportunities and constraints, we have identified the following goals for this Trail System: • To provide a system that will encourage the creation of a linear park system along the creek corridors and tributaries in undeveloped and unplatted parts of the city so that these resources can be preserved and utilized for all citizens of Southlake. • To provide a system that utilizes existing rail and utility corridors for walking, jogging, and bicycling. • To provide a system that connects to recognized "trail corridors" and greenways forming an interconnected network of the Trinity River Greenway system. • To provide a system that encourages and promotes pedestrian and bicycle access to Lake Grapevine open space along the south shore. City of Southlake Trail System Master Plan Goals of Study (Continued) • To provide a system that allows for an appropriate mix of equestrian trails within the context of the trail program and that provides access to the facilities available at Lake Grapevine. • To provide a system that links existing parks, schools, businesses, and public facilities in Southlake and promotes bicycling, walking, and jogging as a recreational activity. • To promote bicycle use as a viable personal transportation mode within a balanced transportation system. • To increase safety for both pedestrians and bicyclists through the implementation of a carefully designed system of routes and trails and through programs carefully designed to educate and inform pedestrians, motorists, and bicyclists. • To provide a system that is barrier free and offers accessibility to everyone.
