1. RECEIVED REPORT REGARDING BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENT AGREEMENT
WITH THE CITY OF LEWISVILLE.
Frank Graham of Fox & Jacobs, Inc. introduced Herschel
Lindley of the firm Schrickel, Rollins & Associates. At
this time Mr. Graham and Mr. Lindley briefed the City
Council regarding the land in question and the upcoming
meeting with the Lewisville City Council. Said land being
located in the southwest quadrant of the city, approximately
three miles from The Colony proper and six miles from
Lewisville proper. I advised the council that sewer and
water cost from Lewisville would be approximately $2.2
million, while The Colony could serve that area for an
approximate cost of $15,000. Councilman Longo asked if it
were feasible for the City of Lewisville to request that
a municipal utility district be formed for this area. Mr.
Graham answered that the Lewisville council had looked into
this but he personally felt that it was not an answer to this
problem. After a lengthy discussion Mr. Hart requested that
the council pass a resolution urging the City of Lewisville
to enter into a boundary adjustment agreement with The Colony.
At this time Mayor Turner turned the meeting over to the
Planning and Zoning Commission chairman, Judy Oaks, who at
that time called the Planning and Zoning Board session to
order before continuing with the second agenda item.
2. RECEIVED PRESENTATION FROM SCHRICKEL, ROLLINS & ASSOCIATES
REGARDING' THE VISION OF MASTER LAND USE PLAN.
Mr. Lindley presented to the council and Planning and Zoning
Commission a complete set of maps illustrating the present
master land use plan, changes that have occurred, and proposed
revisions. There followed a lengthy discussion regarding
future development in the city. The council was primarily
concerned with traffic problems and felt strongly that this
should be a priority item addressed. Allen Zimmerman, a
member of the Planning and Zoning Commission, was concerned
with the percentage of different land uses that should be
included in a well developed, diversified city plan. Herschel
Lindley answered that The Colony does have a high proportion
of land to be used for parks while there is less commercial
development. Regarding future growth, the council discussed
annexation south into the Indian Creek Reservoir area. The
council felt this could potentially be an area to be developed
for industrial growth within the city. Multi-family use was also
discussed by the council and the planning and zoning members.
Mr. Lindley said he would like more specific input before a
master land use study was prepared for final adoption by the
council. It was decided that Mr. Lindley would meet with the
Planning and Zoning Commission and, after a more detailed study,
would bring a recommendation before the council. There being
no further items to discuss at this work session, Councilman
Shipman moved that the meeting be adjourned. Seconded by
