DEPARTMENT:
CM/DCM/ACM:
Planning and Development
Jon Fortune, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: SI03-0012 (Tree Preservation)
Receive a report, hold a discussion and give staff direction regarding Tree Preservation regulations.
BACKGROUND:
At the January 6, 2004, public hearing on tree preservation a number of issues and questions were
raised on the proposed regulations. City Council tabled the item and created a sub-committee
consisting of Mark Burroughs (Chair), Perry McNeil and Bob Montgomery to study the matter
further. The sub-committee held a number of meetings (See Previous Action/Review) to review the
regulations and have proposed a number of revisions to the regulations (Attachment 1 and 2). The
table below identifies the major changes between the previous regulations and the revised
regulations.
Previous Regulations Revised Regulations
Protected Trees
Species Contained a list of species All trees
Size 20"dbh and greater 18" dbh and greater
Exclusions None Excludes large trees in a tree stand
Removal Required City Council approval May be removed if mitigated at a 2 to 1 ratio
(18" removed = 36" replaced or payment)
Quality Trees
Species Contained a list of species All trees
Size 2" dbh to 20" dbh 6" dbh to 18"dbh
Mitigation
Species A minimum of seventy-five (75) Only trees species identified on the Tree
percent of the replacement trees Mitigation Replacement Table, (the "Protected
shall be of a species identified on Tree Species List from the previous
the Protected Tree Species Table. regulations) shall be planted for mitigation
purposes.
Species None If more than ten trees will be planted for
Diversity mitigation, a minimum of four species, from
the Tree Mitigation Replacement Table shall
be planted. No one specie may total more than
50% of the total number of trees planted.
Tree Banks
None Areas greater than 1 acre with characteristics
of Cross Timber Forests are eligible to be
classified as a Tree Bank. Developers can
purchase credits from a tree bank as mitigation.
Incentives
Species None Additional incentives have been added for
preserving Oaks.
Tree Stands Additional incentives have been added for
preserving tree stands
Subdivision None Maximum block and cul-de-sac length may be
Design extended by 10% to preserve trees. Alternative
sidewalk location and offsetting a road within
the right-of-way may also be approved by the
City Engineer to preserve trees.
Other None Fee waivers or credits, reduced open
Incentives space/park land dedication requirements,
reduction of monetary assessments relative to
agricultural rollback taxes, tax abatements, tax
increment financing, chapter 380 grant of
money, transfer of development rights, and/or
purchase of development rights may be
approved by City Council.
Enforcement
None A Section specific to enforcement has been
added.
Appeals
None Added
Additional policy issues discussed but not resolved include:
Small Lot and Infill Exclusions: City Council has had a number of discussions regarding the
difficulties developing infill lots. The sub-committee also discussed the potential problem the
proposed regulation might have on infill development and on "small" lots. As a lot decreases in
size, the ability to alter a design to account for trees also decreases. For purposes of discussion,
Councilman Burroughs submitted a proposal (Attachment 3) that would exclude infill lots less than
one acre in size from the proposed regulations and reduce the mitigation requirements for larger (up
to 5 acres in size) infill lots and other lots less than 5 acres in size. Although the sub-committee
agreed that the concept was sound, they decided to bring the issue to the full Council for further
discussion, specifically if the five acre size is to large and are the proposed mitigation ratios
appropriate (for example, allowed to mitigate all trees on an infill or "small" lot at a 1:1 ratio).
Agricultural Exemption: As currently proposed, all agricultural uses greater than 2 acres are
exempt from the tree preservation regulations. This "total" exemption includes all agricultural uses
even if the removal of trees is not necessary. For example, ifa property owner is running cattle on a
piece of property that has trees, the trees could be cut down even though they do not interfere with
the use.
Applying the regulations in the ET J: Trees perform many environmental functions related to air
quality and reducing runoff. Legal staff is reviewing the possibility of applying the proposed
regulations in the ETJ.
Designation of Tree Banks: The proposed regulations are currently written to allow the
designation of a Tree Banks and transfer of tree credits with the approval of the DRC Chairman.
Staff believes that this will expedite the approval process. Other options include giving that
authority to either the Director of Planning and Development, City Council and/or a Citizen
Committee.
Maintenance: The cost required when paying into the Tree Fund includes the cost of materials and
labor of planting a tree and the estimated cost of maintaining and irrigating a tree for three years.
The three-year period was proposed because that is the amount of time the Parks Department
irrigates a new tree. The estimated cost for tree replacement is $100 per inch. The policy issue
relates to the maintenance requirement, specifically, should it be included in the cost.

including their roots, during construction.
A. All trees identified on the tree preservation plan required to be preserved shall be
protected during construction. All tree protection measures shall be in place and
approved prior to the commencement of any on-site construction. Protection
measures such as fencing shall be maintained at all times during construction.
B. The developer shall not establish and maintain a construction entrance that is within
the critical root zone of any Tree unless the root zone is adequately protected.
C. Material intended for the use in construction or waste materials accumulated due to
excavations or demolition shall not be placed within the limits of the critical root
zone.
D. Equipment shall not be cleaned or other foreign materials deposited or allowed to
flow overland within the critical root zone of a protected tree. This includes without
limitation, paint, oil, solvents, asphalt, concrete, mortar or similar materials.
E. Signs, wires or other objects, other than those of a protective nature shall not be
attached to any Tree. However, lighting of a decorative nature may be attached to a
Tree. The lighting shall be attached in a manner as not to damage the protected tree.
F. Vehicular and or construction traffic or parking shall not take place within the limits
of the critical root zone of any Tree other than on an existing paved surface. This
restriction does not apply to access within the critical root zone for the purpose of
clearing underbrush, which shall only be done by hand methods, vehicular traffic
necessary for routine utility maintenance or emergency restoration of utility services
or routine mowing operations.
G. Grade changes shall be allowed within the limits of the critical root zone of any Tree
only upon approval by the city. If approved, major grade changes (i.e. four inches
[4"] or greater) within the critical root zone of a Tree will require additional measures

completed a minimum of two (2) weeks prior to any construction activity within the
critical root zone of the protected tree.
H. No paving with asphalt, concrete or other impervious materials shall occur within the
critical root zone of a Tree.
I. In those areas where a Tree is within 50 feet of a construction area, a protective fence,
minimum of four feet (4') in height, shall be erected and maintained outside the
critical root zone of each Tree. The protective fencing shall only be required on the
subject site, if the critical root zone extends onto an adjacent property.
J. Boring of utilities under Trees shall be required in those circumstances where it is not
possible to trench around the critical root zone of a Tree. When required, the length
of the bore shall be the width of the critical root zone plus two feet (2') on either side
of the critical root zone and shall be at a minimum depth of 48 inches.
K. Any physical damage to a Tree preserved for credit that is considered to place the
survival of the Tree in doubt shall be eliminated as a credited tree and will require
additional trees to be planted in its place at the required ratio.
L. Where Tree removal is allowed through an exemption or by a tree removal permit and
the root system is intertwined with the protected trees that are intended to be saved,
the tree shall be removed by flush cutting with the natural level of the surrounding
ground. Where stump removal is also desired, the stump grinding shall be allowed, or
upon approval of the City, a trench may be cut between the two trees sufficient to cut
the roots near the tree to be removed, thereby allowing removal of the remaining
stump without the destruction of the root system of the saved tree.

6. ITEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION
A. The Council considered approval of a resolution by the City Council of the City
of Denton, Texas, supporting the submission of an affordable housing tax credit application by
the City of DeNon Housing Authority to the Texas Departmem of Housing and Community
Affairs for the redevelopment of the Phoenix Apartments site located at 308 S. Ruddell Street;
authorizing the Mayor to write a letter of support for the development and allocation of tax
credits; and providing for an effective date.
Barbara Ross, Community Developmem Administrator, stated that the DeNon Housing
Authority would be redeveloping the Phoenix Apartmem site. The Authority needed approval by
the governing body to apply for tax credits as the city already had twice the state average of units
per capita supported by housing tax credits or private activity bonds.
The following resolution was considered:
NO. R2004-021
A RESOLUTION BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS,
SUPPORTING THE SUBMISSION OF AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING TAX CREDIT
APPLICATION BY THE CITY OF DENTON HOUSING AUTHORITY TO THE
TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY AFFAIRS FOR THE

AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Burroughs motioned, Kamp seconded to adopt the ordinance. On roll vote, Burroughs"ayd', Kamp
'hyd', McNeill"ayd', Redmon"ayd', Thomson"ayd'and Mayor Brock"ayd'. Motion carried unanimously.
B. The Council considered adoption of an ordinance amending the DeNon City Code
by adding article VII, entitled "storm water and detention facility improvements"; regulating the
construction of storm water drain lines, channels and detention facilities; providing for pro rata
and oversizing charges; providing a method of reimbursemeN to the developer by pro rata and
oversizing payments; providing a method of enforcing payment of pro rata and oversizing
charges; renumbering article VII to article VIII uniform regulations to govern the use and
occupancy of public rights-of-way by providers of electric service in the city; repealing all
ordinances or parts of ordinances inconsisteN or in conflict herewith; providing a severability
clause, providing a penalty not to exceed $2000 for each day of violation hereof; and providing
an effective date.
Dave Salmon, Assistant Director of Engineering, presented the details of the proposal. Current
regulations required a developer to provide drainage structures large enough to account for future
upstream developmeN. There was no mechanism to reimburse a developer of additional costs
associated with either upsizing drainage structures to provide for future upstream development or
downstream drainage improvemeNs across an adjaceN property. In addition, the Texas Water
Code required a developer to pick up existing drainage runoff from upstream properties and
carry it through the development site. The drainage must be discharged in such a manner that
would not damage the downstream property owner. The proposed ordinance would cover two
specific development situations and provide a mechanism for a developer to recover the costs
associated with drainage improvemeNs that exceeded what was needed for his specific
development in most instances. One other situation would be that the city would install the
drainage improvements prior to development of properties. Pro rata fees would then be collected
from developers when they developed their property and increased drainage runoff.
Council discussion included:
Ways to monitor the agreemeNs due to a possible lengthy time frame for developmeN
Whether other cities had these types of agreements/procedures
CommeN cards were received from:
Misty Ventura, Hughes and Luce - table the ordinance to clean it up before passage
Council Member Kamp requested the Council go iNo Closed Session to coNinue discussion on
the proposed ordinance.
The Council wen iNo Closed Session at 8:50 p.m.

After determining that a quorum was present, the City Council convened in a Work Session on
Tuesday, April 27, 2004 at 11:00 a.m. in the North Branch Meeting Room at the North Branch
Library.
PRESENT: Mayor Brock, Council Members Kamp, McNeill, and Thomson.
ABSENT: Mayor Pro Tem Burroughs, Council Members Montgomery and Redmon.
1. The Council received a report, held a discussion, and gave staff direction regarding the
results of the Citizen Attitude Survey and related information.
City Manager Mike Conduff introduced Ray Turco with Raymond Turco & Associates, whose
firm conducted a survey of citizen attitudes and evaluated public opinion regarding city issues.
Turco stated that 402 households with telephone numbers were randomly selected for the survey
and 9,480 telephone contacts were made. The study area was divided into the four council
districts. He stated that the questions mirrored the 2001 Citizen Survey. The survey took place
October 1 through October 18, 2003. Respondent profiles included: 25% ages 18-35, 27% over
age 65, 22% residents for 3 years or less, 56% residents for 10 years or more, 82% Caucasian
and 18% non-Caucasian.
Turco stated that nearly 9 of 10 residents were satisfied (57%) or very satisfied (29%) with the
quality of life in the city, which is 8% lower than in 2001. Fifty percent rated the community as
having improved, 25% said it stayed the same, and 23% rated it worse.
The most important issues facing Denton today were traffic congestion (29%), street
maintenance (15%), growth overdevelopment (15%), and transportation (7%). The top issues in
the last survey were growth (32%), street conditions (17%), economic development (11%), and
traffic (8%).
More than 69% in this year's survey acknowledged having access to a computer, while 31% said
no. Access was higher in District 1 than anywhere else.
The fire department, libraries, and emergency medical service were the services rated most
positive by residents this year. Items of concern appeared to focus on the issues of traffic,
speeding in their neighborhood, condition of major streets leading into their neighborhood and
condition of streets. Forty-three percent of residents rated the taxes paid to the City either about
right or low. Street maintenance, police, emergency medical service, and fire department were
the services most frequently targeted to receive additional funding if available.
Maintaining quality of life, working among themselves to promote the community, encouraging
economic growth, and overall performance were the activity statements about the Denton City
Council that drew the highest degree of satisfaction from city residents.
Council agreed to use the survey's results to form their goals and objectives for future city
actions.

DEPARTMENT:
ACM:
Fiscal Operations
Kathy DuBose
SUBJECT
Consider approval of a resolution approving the issuance of bonds by the Colorado Health
Facilities Authority on behalf of the Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society; and
providing an effective date.
BACKGROUND
The Colorado Health Facilities Authority Act (the "Authority"), created July 1, 1977, is an
independem public body politic constituting a political subdivision of the State of Colorado. The
Authority is not an agency of the State of Colorado government and is not subject to
administrative direction by any department, commission, board or agency of the State of
Colorado. The Authority was created by the Colorado Health Facilities Authority Act, Article 25
of Title 25 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, as amended (the "Act"), and its purpose is to
provide financing for health facilities and to provide alternative methods by which health
institutions in the State or their affiliates may finance health facilities located in the State and
other states.
The Act provides that the governing body of the Authority will be a Board of Directors
consisting of seven members appointed for staggered, four-year terms by the Governor of the
State with the consent of the State Senate.
The Colorado Health Facilities Authority wishes to refund (refinance) the remaining bonds
issued in 1993 and 1994 on behalf of the Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society (the
"Society") by the DeNon Health Facilities Developmem Corporation (financial conduit). The
Society is tax-exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501c(3) of the Imernal Revenue
Code. The Society owns and operates two, long-term healthcare facilities, including related
senior housing facilities, within the city. Specifically, they are located at 2500 Hinkle Drive and
3901 Montecito Drive.
In order for this financial transaction to occur, it must first be approved by the City of Denton's
City Council. This requiremem is established under Section 147(f) of the Imernal Revenue Code
of 1986. Specifically, "A bond shall satisfy the requiremems if such bond has been approved by
a govemmemal unit having jurisdiction over the area in which any facility is located." The City
Council has previously taken similar actions for the Society. No liability will attach to the City
in connection with this action.
Agenda Information Sheet
May 18, 2004
Page 2
The original bond proceeds funded certain capital expenditures at the Lake Forest Good
Samaritan Village and the Demon Good Samaritan Village facilities in the city. The refunding
structure is economically efficient and will produce a cost savings for the corporation and
directly impacts the Society who owns and operates the long-term healthcare facilities.
Therefore, residents of the Denton facilities may benefit from the resulting cost savings as it
reduces the possibility of a future increase in charges.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (Council, Boards, Commissions)
A Public Hearing was held within the City at 215 E. McKinney St., at 9:00 a.m., on May 17,
2004, after publication of a Notice of Public Hearing (attached) in the Demon Record-Chronicle.
The minutes of the Public Hearing are attached.
FISCAL INFORMATION
The bonds will be payable solely from the refinancing loan agreement, and the City will have no
obligation whatsoever for paymem of the bonds nor shall any of its assets be pledged for
payment of the bonds.

presently outstanding Denton Health Facilities Development Corporation's Health Facilities
Refunding Revenue Bonds (The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society Project) Series
1993 and Series 1994, which reflected a series of refundings of the original debt, which was used
to finance the acquisition, construction, improvement and equipping of 188 retirement
apartmems and a 60 bed long term care facility at the Lake Forest Good Samaritan Village,
located at 3901 Montecito Dr., Denton, Texas 76210 and 77 retirement apartments and a 92 bed

DeNon, Texas 76210 (collectively the "Project"), all owned and operated by The Evangelical

The Bonds, when issued, will be limited obligations of the Colorado Health Facilities
Authority and will not constitute a general obligation or indebtedness of the State of Texas or
any political subdivision thereof, including the City, nor will they be payable in any amoum by
taxation, but the Bonds will be payable solely and only from amoums received from the Society
under a Loan Agreement, which amounts will be sufficient to pay the principal of, interest and
redemption premium, if any, on the Bonds as and when they shall become due.

issuance of the Bonds and the Project being financed thereby. The public hearing will be held

RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION BY THE CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS, APPROVING THE
ISSUANCE OF BONDS BY THE COLORADO HEALTH FACILITIES AUTHORITY
ON BEHALF OF THE EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN GOOD SAMARITAN SOCIETY;
AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE
WHEREAS, the City of Denton, Texas (the "City") is a duly organized and
validly existing municipal corporation under the laws and Constitution of the State of
Texas; and
WHEREAS, The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society (the "Society"), a
North Dakota nonprofit corporation, owns and operates two long-term healthcare
facilities, including related senior housing facilities, within the boundaries of the City;
and
WHEREAS, the Society wishes to refund the remaining maturity of bonds issued
on its behalf in 1993 and 1994 by the Denton Health Facilities Development
Corporation, the original proceeds of which funded certain capital expenditures at the
Lake Forest Good Samaritan Village and the Denton Good Samaritan Village facilities
in the City, from the issuance of new Bonds (collectively the "Project"); and
WHEREAS, the Society has proposed that the moneys to fund the Project come
from the proceeds of Bonds to be issued by the Colorado Health Facilities Authority (the
"Bonds") in a multi-state offering authorized by Colorado state law; and
WHEREAS, such multi-state offering is economically efficient and cost-saving
for the Society, thereby reducing operating costs for the Society and therefore tending to
reduce the necessity for increases of charges at its Denton facilities, thereby benefiting
the residents of the City; and
WHEREAS, the Bonds will be payable solely from revenues of the Society, and
the City will have no obligation whatsoever for payment of the Bonds; and
WHEREAS, as a prerequisite for the issuance of the Bonds by the Colorado
Health Facilities Authority, a public hearing was held within the City at the Denton City
Hall on May 17, 2004 after publication in the Denton Record-Chronicle of a Notice of
Public Hearing, and a report on the hearing has been presented to the City Council,
NOW, THEREFORE,
THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DENTON HEREBY RESOLVES:
SECTION 1. The findings set forth in the preamble of this Resolution are incorporated
by reference into the body of this Resolution as if fully set forth herein.
SECTION 2. The City of Demon hereby approves the issuance of the aforesaid Bonds by
the Colorado Health Facilities Authority in the maximum aggregate principal amount of
$6,950,000 for The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society, and further approves the
Project as described in the Notice relating to the public hearing for the Bonds, and such approval
shall be solely for the purposes of Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and the
City shall have no liabilities for the payment of the Bonds nor shall any of its assets be pledged to
payment of the Bonds.
SECTION 3. Further, it is recognized by the City that the instruments which authorize
the issuance of bonds, notes or obligations by the Colorado Health Facilities Authority will
specifically state that the City is not obligated to pay the principal of or interest on the bonds,
notes or obligations proposed to be issued by the Authority. Nothing in this resolution shall be
construed as an indication by the City that it will pay or provide for the payment of any
obligations of the said Authority whether theretofore or hereafter incurred; and in this
connection, attention is called to the Constitution of the State of Texas, wherein it is provided
that a City may incur no indebtedness without having made provisions for its payment, and the
City Council of the City hereby specifically refuses to set aside any present or future funds, assets
or money for the payment of any indebtedness or obligation of the Authority.
SECTION 4. This Resolution shall become effective immediately, upon its
passage.

SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance authorizing the Mayor to execute an Interlocal
Cooperation Agreemem between the City of DeNon and the City of Corimh for the
impoundment and disposition of dogs and cats and the collection of fees pursuant to the
provisions of said agreemem; and providing for an effective date.
BACKGROUND: The City has maimained an agreemem with Corimh for the housing
and disposal of dogs and cats for approximately ten years. The animals delivered by
Corimh have not resulted in overcrowding at the Animal Comrol facility.
The agreement states that the City of Denton will provide the following services to
Corimh for the impoundmem and disposition of animals delivered to the City of DeNon
from Corimh:
(1)
The City of Denton will hold these animals for ninety-six (96) hours if not
claimed by an owner. If the owner does not claim the animal within the
prescribed ninety-six (96) hours, the animals will be euthanised or made
available for adoption.
(2) The City of Denton will accept and hold rabid suspects in quaramine for ten
(10) days.
(3) The City of DeNon will remove and ship the heads of rabid suspects for
rabies testing by the Texas Department of Health.
For the services, Corinth agrees to pay fees set forth in the agreement as follows:
(1)
A holding fee in the amoum of fifteen dollars (15.00) for the first day or part
of a day and five dollars ($5.00) for each subsequem day per animal held for
reclamation by the owner.
(2)
A holding fee in the amoum of fifteen dollars (15.00) for the first day or part
of a day and five dollars ($5.00) for each subsequem day per animal held in
quarantine as a rabies suspect.
(3) Thirty dollars ($30.00) for each animal euthanized.
(4) Seventy ($70.00) for each decapitation and head shipment.
After consultation with City legal staff, the traditional agreement has been modified. The
agreement period for this and all other interlocal agreements for housing and disposal of
dogs and cats shall now coincide with the calendar year with an effective date of January
1st and shall self-renew each year until one or both parties choose to terminate the
agreement. Termination of the agreement requires ninety days notice. We believe that
adjusting the agreement period and providing for the automatic renewal of the agreement
provides a much more efficient process than requiring staff to prepare the same
agreement and the governing bodies to approve the same agreement every year when
there are rarely changes to the agreement. Should either party determine a need to alter
the terms of the agreement, through modification of the services provided or the fees
charged for those services, those revisions could be easily accomplished through the
current process.
OPTIONS
1. The City can choose not to renew the interlocal agreement with Corinth.
2. The City can approve the ordinance and renew the interlocal agreement.
RECOMMENDATION
The Department recommends approval of the ordinance and renewal of the interlocal
agreement with Corinth.
1. The interlocal agreement provides a valuable service to the citizens of
Corinth.
2. The housing and disposal of dogs and cats has not, and is not projected, to
create a hardship Animal Control operation.
3. The interlocal agreement is a source of revenue for the City.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW: The attached interlocal agreement and ordinance has been
reviewed for legal form and content by the City of Denton Legal Department. The
agreement was approved by the Corinth City Council on April 14, 2004.
FISCAL IMPACT: The prescribed fees in the agreement are calculated to recover all
costs of all services rendered and, therefore, this agreement does not result in an increase
in expenditures. Based on prior years, it is estimated that this agreement will generate
approximately $1,500 in revenue.

quarantine as a rabies suspect.
(3) Thirty dollars ($30.00) for each animal euthanized.
(4) Seventy ($70.00) for each decapitation and head shipment.
After consultation with City legal staff, the traditional agreement has been modified. The
agreement period for this and all other interlocal agreements for housing and disposal of
dogs and cats shall now coincide with the calendar year with an effective date of January
1st and shall self-renew each year until one or both parties choose to terminate the
agreement. Termination of the agreement requires ninety days notice. We believe that
adjusting the agreement period and providing for the automatic renewal of the agreement
provides a much more efficient process than requiring staff to prepare the same
agreement and the governing bodies to approve the same agreement every year when
there are rarely changes to the agreement. Should either party determine a need to alter
the terms of the agreement, through modification of the services provided or the fees
charged for those services, those revisions could be easily accomplished through the
current process.
OPTIONS
1. The City can choose not to renew the interlocal agreement with Roanoke.
2. The City can approve the ordinance and renew the interlocal agreement.
RECOMMENDATION
The Department recommends approval of the ordinance and renewal of the interlocal
agreement with Roanoke.
1. The interlocal agreement provides a valuable service to the citizens of
Roanoke
2. The housing and disposal of dogs and cats has not, and is not projected, to
create a hardship Animal Control operation.
3. The interlocal agreement is a source of revenue for the City.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW: The attached interlocal agreement and ordinance has been
reviewed for legal form and content by the City of Denton Legal Department. The
agreement has been approved by the Roanoke City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT: The prescribed fees in the agreement are calculated to recover all
costs of all services rendered and, therefore, this agreement does not result in an increase
in expenditures. Based on prior years, it is estimated that this agreement will generate
approximately $2,000 in revenue.

BACKGROUND: The City has maimained an agreemem with Ponder for the housing

The agreement states that the City of Denton will provide the following services to
Ponder for the impoundmem and disposition of animals delivered to the City of DeNon
from Ponder:
(1)
The City of Denton will hold these animals for ninety-six (96) hours if not

(2) The City of Denton will accept and hold rabid suspects in quaramine for ten

For the services, Ponder agrees to pay fees set forth in the agreement as follows:
(1)
A holding fee in the amoum of fifteen dollars (15.00) for the first day or part
of a day and five dollars ($5.00) for each subsequem day per animal held for

dogs and cats shall now coincide with the calendar year with an effective date of January
1st and shall self-renew each year until one or both parties choose to terminate the

1. The City can choose not to renew the interlocal agreement with Ponder.
2. The City can approve the ordinance and renew the interlocal agreement.
RECOMMENDATION
The Department recommends approval of the ordinance and renewal of the interlocal
agreement with Ponder.

SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance declaring a public necessity exists and finding that public welfare
and convenience requires the taking and acquiring of an approximate 0.759 acre sanitary sewer and
reuse water easement and an approximate 0.926 acre temporary construction easement both of which
are out of a parcel or tract of land described in that certain deed to Robert W. Callahan as recorded in
Volume 4656, Page 164 of the Real Property Records of DeNon County, being located in the Gideon
Walker Survey, Abstract No. 1330 and the Moreau Forrest Survey, Abstract No. 417, in Denton
County, Texas and being part of a tract or parcel of land owned by Robert W. Callahan, authorizing the
City Manager or his designee to make an offer to purchase the easemeNs for their just compensation
and if such offer is refused, authorizing the City Attorney to institute the necessary proceedings in
condemnation in order to acquire the property; and declaring an effective date.
BACKGROUND
The project at hand is captioned as the "Lakeview Ranch INerceptor" which involves upsizing the
existing sanitary sewer capacity to serve the Lakeview Ranch development and the surrounding region.
The existing sanitary sewer lines serving a portion of the region are not adequate and require ever
increasing maiNenance because of age. Engineering staff has been iNeracting with Mr. Callahan over
the course of the last few moNhs regarding topographic field surveying and appraiser inspection of his
affected property, on the south side of East McKinney Street, several hundred feet east of the
McDonnell Highlands subdivision. The City has an existing t0" sanitary sewer line traversing Mr.
Callahan's property that was constructed in 1974. The alignment of that t0" sanitary sewer line was
designed to fit a future subdivision layout that did not come to pass. It is the intent of the current
design to install a 27" sanitary sewer line within a stream-lined easement and then to ultimately
abandon the old facilities and the existing sanitary sewer easement once the new facilities are brought
on-line. We have commissioned an independeN appraisal of the easemeN rights to be acquired and
have presented that information to Mr. Callahan in the form of an offer. We are in dialogue with Mr.
Callahan, but early indications are that we might not be able to reach equitable terms within the time
constrains of the project schedule. Mr. Callahan has a wide variety of issues involving the City that
we probably won't be able to eclipse through this interaction. We will continue to pursue settlement
terms with Mr. Callahan, but find it necessary to request condemnation authorization, should our
negotiations reach an impasse.

SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of DeNon approving a sanitary sewer
facilities agreement between the City of Denton, Texas and Canyon Energy Partners,
LTD. to provide for the construction of sanitary sewer facilities to serve the Enclave at
Lakeview Ranch. A residemial developmem in the City of DeNon, and to serve the needs
of the City of DeNon; providing for the expenditure of funds therefore; and providing for
an effective date.
BACKGROUND
Canyon Energy Partners, Ltd. is the owner and has proposed development of 437 acres of
land consisting of multiple tracts, spanning from US 380 to south of McKinney Street
(see Map-Exhibit I). The proposed developmem named Enclave at Lakeview Ranch
(Enclave) encompasses 5 Sections, A thru E, and 1325 single family homes are proposed
to be constructed at project build out. The proposed development surrounds the existing
platted Lakeview Ranch sub-division.
In developing the wastewater system to serve the proposed sub-division, the developer
and their engineer approached the staff and have worked cooperatively in idemifying the
needed wastewater infrastructure. The Enclave property lies within a much larger sewer
basin (see Exhibit-X). The existing wastewater facilities in this basin consist of the
following:
· Lakeview Ranch Lift Station and 6-inch force main to serve the Lakeview Ranch
sub-divison.
· 8-inch gravity line on Trinity Road downstream of Lakeview Ranch Lift Station
· Grissom and Vacation Village Lift Stations.
· 10-inch and then 12-inch sewer line to the wastewater plant, downstream of the
discharge poim of Grissom and Vacation Village Lift Stations.
The above facilities are inadequate to serve the proposed Enclave sub-division and the
future off-site development. The developer's engineer working with the staff has
idemified the projected wastewater service needs of the emire sewer basin encompassing
the Enclave sub-division along with the projected sewer flows from the Enclave. A
master plan to serve the entire sewer basin has been prepared by the developer's engineer
and reviewed by staff. The major componems of the proposed master plan infrastructure
are as follows:
· Lift Station "A" and force main to serve the Section "A" of Enclave. This lift
station and force main will be oversized to serve off-site areas.
· Demolition of the Lakeview Ranch Lift Station
· Gravity sewer line to bypass the Lakeview Ranch lift Station. This sewer line will
be oversized.
· Lift Station "C" and force main to serve the Enclave. This lift station and force
main will be oversized. This lift station will serve as a regional pump station like
the existing Hickory Creek and Cooper Creek Lift Stations. This project is
included in the impact fees as a new Grissom Road Lift Station and force main,
however, city will participate in the oversize only.
· Lift Station "E" to serve the Section "E". No oversize needed.
· Abandon 10-inch and 12-inch sewer line to the plant and construct 27-inch sewer
line. This sewer line to be designed and constructed at City of DeNon expense as
a capital project included in the impact fees study.
To encourage the City of Denton to move forward and construct the two projects
included in the impact fee study, the developer is proposing to enter into a contractual
agreemem termed "Agreemem for the Provision of Sanitary Sewer Facilities" (see
Exhibit II). This agreemem provides the framework and a mechanism to bind the city and
the developer into performing the tasks necessary to complete the project to provide
sewer service to Enclave. The highlights of this agreemem are listed as below:
· The developer's project is defined as the design and construction of the Lift
Station 'A" and force main and oversize, the gravity sewer line to bypass the
Lakeview Ranch Lift station and oversize the sewer line, the Lift Station "C" and
force main and oversize (oversize for all facilities to be funded by the City).
· The City's project is defined as the design and construction of the gravity sewer
line from McKinney Street to the plant, demolition of the Lakeview Ranch and
Grissom Lift Station, and design and construction of the bypass sewer line from
Grissom Lift Station to the Lift Station "C".
· To guarantee that the developer will perform the tasks necessary to provide
wastewater service to the Enclave, the developer agrees to put monies in escrow
to construct the developer's project as listed above. Monies from escrow account
will be used to make progress paymems for the developer's construction project.
· City guaramees that the funds necessary to construct the City's project and
oversize are available.
· A Restrictive Covenant is included in the sewer agreement. This covenant allows
occupancy of no more than 125 single-family homes that can be connected to the
existing sewer system. Occupancy of any homes beyond the 125 count is
contingent on the Developer completing the construction of the Developer's
Project.
The city staff has worked with the developer, their engineer and attorney to provide a
framework for a project that meets the needs of the Enclave and provides for future
growth in the sewer basin by having adequate wastewater facilities. Staff recommends
approval of the agreement to provide wastewater service.
OPTIONS
1. Approve the Agreement For The Provision Of Sanitary Sewer Facilities.
2. Reject the agreement.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends approval of the Agreement "For The Provision Of Sanitary Sewer
Facilities".
ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT
The developer is required to complete the Lakeview Ranch Lift Station bypass gravity
sewer line and the Section C Lift Station to provide service to the Enclave. City's
obligation is to complete the gravity sewer line from the discharge point of Lift Station C
to the treatment plant. The estimated project schedule is from June 2004 to June 2005.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (COUNCIL, BARDS, COMM.)
This item was presented to the Public Utilities Board at their May 10th, 2004 regular
meeting. The item was approved by a vote of __ to __
FISCAL INFORMATION
The City's project and the oversizing of the developer's project will be funded from
existing bond funds. $3,396,000 is included in the FY 2004 and 2005 for the design and
construction of the project (see Exhibit III). The breakdown of the planning level

Agreement - Page 1 2576
EXHIBIT 3
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein,
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Description of Sewer Facilities. The sanitary sewer facilities provided for in this
Agreement (the "Sewer Facilities") are described as follows:
Proposed lift station A to be located as shown in the Wastewater Study ("Lift
Station A"), unless the City notifies Developer (the "Relocation Notice") in
writing on or before fourteen (14) days following the Effective Date of this
Agreement (the "Relocation Deadline") that the City has elected m move the
Iocation of Lift Station A to approximately 700 to 1000 feet to the south of where
it is shown in the Wastewater Study (the "New Location"). The City is
responsible for the acquisition of all easements necessary to locate Lift Station A
to the New Location; provided, however, the Developer shall pay up to $7,000 to
the City in reimbursement of the costs paid by the City to the appropriate
landowner for such easement. Such reimbursement shall be paid by the Developer
to the City within thirty (30) days following the date on which the City has
obtained such easement and provided reasonable evidence to the Developer of the
cost paid to the landowner for such easement. If on or before the Relocation
Deadline Developer does not receive the Relocation Notice or the City does not
obtain the necessary easements for the relocation of Lift Station A, then Lift
Station A shall remain at the existing location shown in the Wastewater Study but
it will be built at sufficient depth to serve the contributing sewer basin. In such
case the City will be responsible for all extra costs associated with constructing
Lift Station A to the extra depth needed to serve the contributing sewer basin.
Proposed 8" force main extending from Lift Station A to existing sanitary sewer
line as shown in the Wastewater Study ("Lift Station A Force Main").
Proposed lift station C to be located as shown in the Wastewater Study (''Lift
Station C").
Existing Lakeview Ranch lift station located as shown in the Wastewater Study
("Lakeview Ranch Lift Station").
Proposed 12" gravity line extending from existing sanitary line at the Lakeview
Ranch Lift Station to Lift Station C as shown in the Wastewater Study
("Lakeview Ranch Gravity Line").
Existing G-rissom lift station located as shown in the Wastewater Study ("G-rissom
Lift Station").
Proposed 8" gravity line extending from the Grissom Lift Station to Lift Station C
as shown in the Wastewater Study (the "Grissom Gravity Line").
Agreement- Page 2 2576.3
Proposed 12" force main extending from Lift Station C to a point on an existing
sanitary sewer line located near East McKinney near the southwest comer of
Royal Oaks Mobile Home Park as shown in the Wastewater Study (the "Lift
Station C Force Main").
Existing City of Denton wastewater treatment plant as shown in the Wastewater
Study (the '~l'reatment Plant").
Proposed gravity line extending from a point where the Lift Station C Force Main
ends near East McKinney to the Treatment Plant as shown in the Wastewater
Study (the "Treatment Plant Gravity Line").
2. Developer's Construction Proiect; Computation of City's Share. The Developer is
responsible for the design, construction, and easements (on land owned by Developer), if
necessary, for Lift Station A, the Lift Station A Force Main, Lift Station C, the Lakeview Ranch
Gravity Line, and the Lift Station C Force Main (the "Developer's Construction Proiecf').. On or
before fourteen (14) days following the Effective Date of this Agreement, the City may, by
giving written notice to the Developer, require the oversizing of Lift Station A and the Lift
Station A Force Main, the Lakeview Ranch Gravity Line, Lift Station C and the Lift Station
Force Main (the "Oversize"), which Oversize notice shall also identify the City's specific
requirements for the oversize of each of the Sewer Facilities specified herein. If the City makes
such Oversize election it will pay for the Oversize costs ("City's Share"). The City's Share for
Lift Station A, Lift Station A Force Main, and the Lakeview Ranch Gravity Line will be
computed by first determining the size of the facilities required to serve the Development's
needs. The City's Share will be the cost of increasing the size of facilities beyond what is
required to serve the needs of the Development. The City's Share will be determined prior to the
award of a construction contract for the Developer's Construction Project. For example, it is
currently estimated that the Lakeview Ranch Gravity Line is required to be 12 inches in diameter
to meet the needs of the Development. If the final field tests and grades confirm that 12 inches is
what is needed to meet the needs of the Development the City for example may elect to have the
size increased to 18 inches in diameter. When bidding the construction contract the Developer
will receive bids for a 12 inch and an 18 inch line. The City's Share for that line will be the
difference in cost between the two bids. However, this is subject to the City's audit of the bids to
make sure that the bidding is not unbalanced. For Lift Station C and Lift Station C Force Main,
City will share 30% of the entire cost of such facilities in order to deliver the pumping capacity
up to 1280 gallons per minute (GPM), including, without limitation, 30 % of the cost of the
SCADA system and 30% of the cost of all roadway access to such facilities. If the City elects to
oversize any components of the Lift Station C beyond the 1280 GPM capacity, City will pay all
costs for this oversize. The City's Share shall be paid to the Developer's contractor in progress
payments within thirty (30) days of the City's receipt of an invoice for same as portions of the
Developer's Construction Project are completed, minus 5% retainage, with the retainage and the
balance being paid upon final completion and acceptance by the City of the Developer's
Construction Project ("Final Acceptance"), which payment schedule shall be provided in the
Three-Way Agreement hereinafter described. Such invoices shall also describe portions 'of the
work that have been performed by the contractor on the Developer's Construction Project
through the date of such invoice and shall be reviewed by the City within five (5) business days
Agreement- Page 3 2576.3
following receipt thereof. If the representatives of the City have any objections to the progress
payment being requested in such invoice on the Developer's Construction Project, they shall
communicate such objections, in writing, to the Developer within such five (5) business day
period, and the parties shall seek to resolve any questions or issues relative to such invoice
promptly. As to any invoice submitted by the Developer (or its contractor) and for which no
comment has been received from the City within five (5) business days following submission
thereof, such invoice shall be deemed to be approved by the City in all respects. If feasible and if
requested by Developer, items in any invoice to which questions have been raised by the City
shall be segregated from all remaining items in such invoice, and the approved items shall be
submitted for payment out of the escrow hereinafter described. All approved invoices shall be
delivered by a representative of the City to the Project Engineer, who is hereby authorized to
submit such approved invoices for payment in accordance with the Escrow Agreement
(hereinafter defined). The City's Share shall bear no interest unless the City has not paid City's
Share when due, in which case it shall bear interest from that date until paid at the rate of 6% per
annum. The City has available budgeted funds sufficient to pay all of the City's Share.
3. City's Construction Project. The City is responsible for the design, construction, and
easements, if necessary, for the Grissom Gravity Line, Treatment Plant Gravity Line, and for the
elimination and demolition of the Lakeview Lift Station and the Grissom Lift Station (the "City's
Construction Proiect"). Easements for the Grissom Gravity Line shall have sufficient width to
include the Lift Station C Force Main. The demolition of the Grissom Lift Station and the
construction of the Grissom Gravity Line do not impact the Developer's Construction Project or
conveyance of wastewater from the Development. Therefore, the City will determine the timing
of construction of these two facilities. However, the City shall obtain the necessary easements for
the Grissom Gravity Line within one hundred twenty (120) days following the Effective Date,
regardless of the timing of the construction of such facilities. The City has available budgeted
funds sufficient to pay for all of the City's Construction Project.

improvements associated with the Developer's Construction Project and the City's Construction
Project (the "Public Improvements") shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the
City's standard specifications for public works construction, which are incorporated herein by
reference. The City acknowledges that the Developer cannot request the Project Engineer to
complete the design of such facilities until such time as the City has provided final specific
approvals for all such facilities that are subject to any City oversizing or other specific City input
or requirements. Prior to awarding the construction contract for the Developer's Construction
Project the Developer shall submit to the City a complete set of construction plans and
specifications for the Developer's Construction Project for review and approval by the City. The
construction contract will not be awarded until the City has given its written approval. The City
will not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent or approvals to the plans and specifications
or thc construction contract. Construction for the Developer's Construction Project shall not
commence until the Developer and its contractor enter into the City's standard three-way public
works contract between the City and the Developer, and its contractor (the "Three-Way
Agreemenf') and a performance bond, payment bond and required insurance certificates are
delivered to the City in the substance and form required by the City.

WASTEWATER SYSTEM ANALYSIS
for
ENCLAVE at LAKEVIEW RANCH
located in
CITY OF DENTON, DENTON COUNTY
(1/14/04)
I. Introduction
The Enclave at Lakeview Ranch is a residential community located within the City of
Denton, approximately 4 ¼ miles east of Denton's downtown district. -The multi-tract
property stretches from East University Drive (US 380/US 377) south to East McFdnney
Street (FM 426) and is comprised of approximately 437 acres.. There are currently four
zoning categories, NR-4, NR-6, N-RMU-12 and NRM-LI, which.impact the property. The
proposed development of the Enclave at Lakeview Ranch encompasses five Sections, A
through E. A projected 1,325 single-family homes will be constructed at project build-
out. In the midst of three of the tracts that constitute the Enclave, there is a platted 155
single-family residential subdivision called Lakeview Ranch, Phase 1. -Within this
community, there is an existing lift station, Lakeview Ranch Lift Station (LRLS),.and
two gravity trunk lines, Existing $.$. Line 1 and Existing S.$. Line 2, that will be utilized
by the proposed project. An analysis has been performed on the aforementioned lin
station and sewer lines, as well as another existing lift station, Grissom Lift Station (GLS)
to determine whether these facilities will require upsizing to accommodate the proposed.
development. In addition, an analysis of two possible solutions to alleviate and expand
the current wastewater collection system to serve the proposed Enclave at Lakeview
Ranch has been completed. An engineer's opinion of probable cost will accompany each
possible solution. A preliminary analysis of the entire basin, based on current zoning of
the property, has also been completed in order to evaluate and resize the existing 10" and
12" gravity track line nmning southwest from the intersection of East McKirmey Road
Wastewater Analysis for Enclave at Lakeview Ranch
Page 1 of 10
and Grissom Road to a City of Denton treatment plant. The sizing of a larger lift station
and force main(s) required to transport the wastewater for the entire basin also
incorporates the zoning based analysis. The purpose for mentioning and sizing the
overall lift station and subsequent force main(s) in this study is due to the location of the
basin's low point within the proposed Enclave at Lakeview Ranch. There will be two
possible solutions for the lift .station presented, each .accompanied by an engineer's
opinion of probable cost, to accommodate the overall basin's projected wastewater flows.
II. Wastewater Generation Projections
The design criteria used to project the wastewater flows has been taken from the City of
Denton's Water and.Wastewater Criteria Manual. An average of 3.2 persons per single-
family dwelling and a wastewater flow of 100 gallons/person/day have been'used'to sum
the average flow generated by the proposed development. An average of 3.0 persons per
mobile home dwelling and a wastewater flow of 75 gallons/person/day have been used to
sum the average flows currently being generated by both Vacation Village and Royal
Oaks Mobile Home Park. Additional design methods, previously approved by City staff,
have also been incorporated. One such method is the use of Harmon's peaking factor
formula ( PF = 1 + [14/(4+¢P)], P = population in thousands). Harmon's formula has
been applied to calculate the projected peak flow in cases where the cumulative
population is greater than 1,000. Otherwise, a peaking factor of 4.0 has been applied, as
directed by City of Denton staff. Inflow and infiltration, at a rate of 100 gallons/inch
diameter of pipe/mile of pipe/day, has also been included in the wastewater projections.
The capacities of all proposed gravity lines have been computed using the minimum
allowable slope, per the City of Denton Criteria Manual, for its respective diameter.
These capacities, as well as the capacities of other referenced slopes, are listed in Table I.
IH. Existing Wastewater Collection System
Wastewater Analysis for Enclave at Lakeview Ranch
Page 2 of 10
The existing wastewater collection system, as found displayed on Exhibit 1 and Exhibit
2, consists of the following major components:
a. LRLS - The LRLS currently has a capacity of 340 gpm *.
b. GLS - The GLS currently has a capacity of 200 gpm *
c. Existing S.S. Line 1 - This existing line is an 8" gravity line that up-sizes to a 10"
gravity line in route to the LRLS. '
d. Existing S.S. Line 2- This existing line is an 8" gravity line.
e. Existing S.S. Line 3 - This existing line is a 10" gravity line that up-sizes to a 12"
gravity line in route to the treatment plant. -.
· As provided by City Staff.
The full flow capacities of the gravity lines are listed in Table I. The capacities are
dictated by the slope of the respective lines.and calculated by using Manning's Equation,
as stated in Section 4.4 of the Criteria Manual.
IV. Existing Wastewater Collection System Analysis
Lakeview Ranch Lift Station:
The current configuration of the LRLS allows for a maximum pumping capacity of 340
gpm. After build-out of the previously platted Lakeview Ranch, Phase 1, the remaining
pumping capacity in the LRLS will be approximately. 220 gpm. This is based upon 135
single-family residential lots contributing to both Existing S.S. Line 1 and Existing S.S.
Line 2 at the specified flow rate of 100 gal/person/day and a peaking factor of 4. The
reason for not including all 155 platted lots in the flow calculations is due to the lack of a
sewer l/ne servicing Lots 1-9, Block 12, Lots 1-6, Block 9, Lots 1-3, Block I0 and Lots 1
& 2, Block 13, as shown on the "as-built" construction plans for Lakeview Ranch, Phase
1. The remaining pumping capacity of the LRLS would allow for an additional 247
single-family residential lots to be developed. This allows for approximately 78% of
Section A to be constructed. In turn, with a projected peak flow of 265 gpm from Section
B (297 single-family residential lots) and the remaining 49 gpm from Section A (70
}Vastewater Analysis for Enclave at Lakeview Ranch.
Page 3 of 10
single-family residential lots) also flow to the LRLS, the lift station will require adequate.
upgrade modifications to increase its pumping capacity.
Existing Grissom Lift Station:
According to the information provided by City staff, the GLS is currently running at
capacity. Since the current configuration of the wastewater collection system has the
force main from the LRLS discharging into a gravity line that flows into the GLS, along
with the flow from the Royal Oaks Mobile Home Park, any additional flow into the
LRLS would exceed the pumping capacity of the GLS. However, per correspondence
and direction by City staff, modifications have been made to the GLS to allow for an
additional 125 single-family residential lots to be built. After which, additional upgrade
modifications will be required to increase the pumping capacity. At this time, the GLS is
the limiting factor within the existing wastewater collection system.
Existing S.S. Line 1: .- ,
Sections A and B are located to the north of the existing LRLS and will utilize Existing
$.S. Lines 1 and 2, respectively. As shown in Table II, Section A has 317 single-family
residential lots yielding a peak flow of 269 gpm. That flow will then be pumped via a
small lit~ station to Existing $.$. Line 1. At~er adding the applicable 107 lots from
Lakeview Ranch, Phase 1, a total peak flow of 352 gpm is introduced into the line. With
a minimum slope of 0.30% along its 10" diameter portion, Existing S.$. Line 1 attains
approximately 65% capacity. Refer to Table 1I for additional calculations.
Existing S.S. Line 2:
With the 297 projected single-family lots in Section B and the applicable 28 lots from
Lakeview Ranch, Phase 1, a peak flow of 275 gpm is introduced to Existing S.$. Line 2.
This leaves approximately 20% of full capacity available. Refer to Table ll for additional
calculations.
Existing S.S. Line 3:
Wastewater Analysis for Enclave at Lakeview Ranch
Page 4 of l O
Currently, Vacation Village, 593 mobile home lots, Royal Oaks Mobile Home Park, 150
mobile home lots, and Lakeview Ranch, Phase 1 (approximately 85 developed lots)
produce a total peak flow of approximately 474 gpm. With the inclusion of the additional
125 single-family residential lots that the Grissom Lif~ Station can currently accept,
Existing S.S. Line 3 will experience a peak flow of approximately 562 gpm. Due to the
current minimum slope of 0.46% along the 10" portion of the line, Existing S.S. Line 3
can handle a maximum of 665 gpm, yielding 85% capacity.
V. Proposed Wastewater Collection System for the Enclave at Lakeview Ranch
As previously mentioned, an analysis of two possible solutions to alleviate and expand
the current wastewater collection system to serve the proposed Enclave at Lakeview
Ranch has been performed. However, the scope of the following options incorporates
only the existing wastewater flows and the projected flows created by the Enclave at
Lakeview Ranch. An additional evaluation of the entire basin will be required .to
adequately size the entire collection system if further development is to occur. Although
the following two options differ, there are also similarities. These similarities include the
construction of Proposed Lift Station "A" and its subsequent force main, the
abandonment of the Grissom Lift station and corresponding force main, and the
construction of a gravity tine, the Grissom Gravity Line, to Proposed Lift Station "C" to
serve the Royal Oaks Mobile Home Park. Furthermore, the upsizing of Existing $.$. Line
$ is required to completely serve Enclave at Lakeview Ranch, regardless of the
configuration of the upstream collection system. Please refer to pages 1, 2a and 2b of the
Engineer's Opinion of Probable Cost in Appendix A for a further cost participation break
down analysis.
Option 1:
Option 1 incorporates Proposed Lift Station "C" being sized to accommodate Sections C,
D and E from the proposed development, as well as the flow from the to-be-abandoned
tVastewater Analysis for Enclave at Lakeview Ranch
Page 5 of 10
Grissom Lift Station. This proposed lift station would be sized for a projected flow of
approximately 654 gpm, 30% of which is from the GLS. The force main to accompany
Proposed Lift Station "C" is required to be 300 linear feet. It would then discharge into a
12" diameter gravity line at an elevation of approximately 542.00 feet. In turn, this
allows the wastewater to flow fi:om Proposed Lift Station "C" to the existing Lakeview
Ranch Lift Station, which has an existing influent flow line at 520.90, according to the
Lakeview Ranch Lift Station "as-built" construction plans dated 7/28/99. Since the
wastewater fi:om proposed Sections A and B and Lakeview Ranch, Phase 1 also flow to
the LRLS, upsizing modifications would be required to increase its pumping capacity to.
1280 gpm. A 12" diameter force main will cover a length of approximately 6,580 linear
feet between the LRLS and its termination point at the be~nning of Existing $. $. Line 3
and its proposed updated gravity line, to be discussed in further detail in the subsequent
sections. In turn, the existing 6" diameter force main from the LRLS and the 8" diameter
gravity line leading the GIB would be abandoned. The configuration for this option is
depicted in Sanitary Sewer Study Exhibit 1. Please refer to pages 3a and 3b of the
Engineer's Opinion of Probable Cost in Appendix A for a further cost participation break
down analysis.
.Option 2:
Option 2 also incorporates the construction of Proposed Lift Station "C", but it would be
sized to accommodate all of the proposed Sections A through E, and all of the existing
flow from Lakeview Ranch, Phase 1 and Royal Oaks Mobile Home Park, for a total of
1280 gpm. In turn, the existing LRLS, the corresponding 8" diameter force main and 8"
diameter gravity line would be abandoned, as well as the GLS. A proposed 12" diameter
gravity line would connect to the existing manhole adjacent to the LRLS at an elevation
of 521.17, as stated in the Lakeview Ranch Lift Station "as-built" construction plans
dated 7/28/99. This line will terminate at the Proposed Lift Station "C" with a flow line
elevation of 511.00 feet. The wastewater would then be lifted and forced to the
beginning of Existing $. $. Line 3 and its proposed updated gravity line, to be discussed
Wastewater Analysis for Enclave at Lakeview Ranch
Page 6 of 10
in further detail in the subsequent sections, via a 5,740 ~linear foot 12" diameter force
main.' The configuration for this option is depicted in Sanitary Sewer Study Exhibit 2.
Please refer to pages 4a and 4b of the Engineer's Opinion of Probable Cost in Appendix
A for a further cost participation break down analysis.
VI. Preliminary Analysis for the Entire Wastewater Basin
Existing, S.S. Line 3:
Despite the scope of the proposed-options for the wastewater collection system for the
Enclave at Lakeview Ranch, the proposed pipe diameters and slopes for the replacement
of Existing S.$. Line 3 have been determined by utilizing a preliminary evaluation of the
entire basin. The evaluation has been based upon the current zoning of the land, the
acreage of each zoning category and the City's description, requirements and restrictions
of each category. The acreages of applicable Environmentally Sensitive Areas 0ESA),
including, but not limited to, floodplain, riparian buffers and upland habitat, as delineated
by the City of Denton, have been removed fi:om their respective zoning category. These
figures have been outlined in Table IH. The results of the preYuninary basin evaluation
yield a projected peak flow of approximately 5,490 gpm. Using the current horizontal
alignment and a slightly modified vertical alignment of Existing S.S. Line 3, it has been
determined that the necessary pipe sizes to adequately convey the projected flow are a
24" diameter with a minimum slope of 0.50% and a 27" diameter with a minimum slope
of 0.30%.
Lift Station for Entire Basin:
Regardless of which proposed Option is chosen, a lift station capable of pumping the
projected peak flow of 5,490 gpm will be required in the future to allow for any regional
development. As previously stated, the proposed Enclave at Lakeview Ranch, will
produce approximately 17.7% of the overall flow, therefore, a multi-chambered wet well
with multiple force mains would sufficiently accommodate the projected wastewater
flows. Adding the existing flows fi:om the mobile home parks and Lakeview Ranch,
Wastewater Analysis for Enclave at Lakeview Ranch
Page 7 of I 0
Phase 1, the demand will rise to 1280 gpm, or approximately 23.3% of the overall flow.
The purpose for multiple chambers and force mains lies in the design of such. If a single
force main designed for the ultimate flow is used, the velocity within the force main
during initial "low-flow" conditions would not meet the City of Denton's minimum
requirements. Lengthy storage times of the effluent within the force main would also be
a consideration if a single force main were to be used. The multiple chambers within the
wet well will allow for phasing of the lift station as development occurs and the
wastewater flows gradually increase. The first phase chamber and force main will be
designed for the existing flows from Lakeview Ranch, Phase I and Royal Oaks Mobile
Home Park and the projected flows from the Enclave at Lakeview Ranch Sections A
through E, along with the remaining lots to be developed in Lakeview Ranch, Phase t.
Subsequent phases will incorporate aa additional chamber(s) and force main(s) to
accommodate projected flows from the remainder of the basin. As mentioned in the
analysis for the proposed wastewater collection system, a flow of 1,280 gpm will require
a 12" diameter force main. The remaining 4,210 gpm can either be incorporated into one
additional wet well chamber with a single 20" diameter force main, Option A, or one
additional wet well chamber with two 12" diameter force mains, Option B. The possible
solutions are further classified by combining the previously described lift station location
options, Option 1 and Option 2, with the aforementioned Option A and Option B. This
combines the location of the overall basin's lift station with the manner in which the lift
station is configured. The results of the Option conSolidation are as follows:
a. Option L,I: This options locates the proposed large lift station in the same
position as the existing Lakeview Ranch Lift Station. This lift station will
incorporate a two chamber wet well with two parallel force mains, one 12"
diameter and one 20" diameter, terminating at a common point.
b. Option lB: This option locates the proposed large lift station in the same position
as the existing Lakeview Ranch Lift Station. This lift station will incorporate a
two chamber wet well with three parallel 12" diameter force mains terminating at
a common point.
Wastewater ~4nalysis for Enclave at Lakeview Ranch
Page 8 of 10
c. Option 2.4: This option locates the large lift station in the approximate position
~' of the Proposed Lift Station "C". This lift station will incorporate a two chamber'
wet well with two parallel force mains, one 12" diameter and one 20" diameter,
terminating at a common point.
d. Option 2B: This option locates the large lift station in the approximate position
of the Proposed Lift Station "C". This lift station will incorporate a two chamber
wet well with three parallel 12" diameter force mains terminating at a common
point.
Please refer the Wastewater Study Exhibits 1 and 2 for the configuration of each of the
above Options. Also, please refer to pages Sa, 5b, 6a, 6b, 7a, 7b, 8a and 8b of the
En~neer's Opinion of Probable Cost in Appendix A for a further cost participation break
down analysis.
VI. Conclusion
In summary, it has been determined that despite which Option is constructed, three items
remain constant. The first being the abandonment of the existing Grissom Lift Station
and the corresponding force main. In turn, an 8" diameter gravity line will be constructed
fi:om the current location of the GLS to the Proposed Lift Station "C". This leads directly
to the second common factor. Proposed Lift Station "C" is required to be built in the
location shown in Exhibits I and 2. However, the size of Proposed Lift Station "C" is not
a common factor. The third constant is the upsizing of Existing S.S. Line 3. With the
current flows from the mobile home parks and Lakeview Ranch, Phase 1, and the
additional 125 single-family residential lots fi:om Section A, this line is currently at 85%
capacity. The remaining portion of the conveyance capacity will allow approximately
125 single-family residential lots to be developed and connected upstream prior to this
line requiring upsizing. Further upstream development will necessitate the construction
of a larger line. The sizing of this line has been based on the current zoning of the tracts
within the entire wastewater basin, as delineated on the Zoning Exhibit.
gr'astewater.4nalysis for Enclave at Lakeview Ranch
Page 9 of ! 0
The Options presented in the previous sections suggest possible solutions to alleviate and
expand the current wastewater collection system. Option 1 and Option 2 offer local
solutions for the development of Sections A through E of the Enclave at Lakeview
Ranch. It appears as though Option 1 is the best short-term solution based on the
probable costs accompanying this report. It utilizes the existing Lakeview Ranch List
Station, with some upsizing modifications, and Proposed Lift Station "C" is required only
to have a capacity large enough to accommodate Sections C, D and E and the existing
flows from the Grissom Lift Station. After incorporating the projected wastewater flows
from the entire basin and upon further analysis, Option 2 is the more economical
solution, regardless of which force main configuration is selected. This is due in part to
the length of force main required form the location of the existing LRLS to the to its
termination point at the beginning of the gravity line to the treatment plant. Another
contributor to the increased cost of Option lA and Option lB is the requirement to
constructed an additional lift station. The two lifl station Options would also yield high
operational and maintenance costs over time. In conclusion, although Option 1 is the
optimum short-term solution to serve the proposed Enclave at Lakeview Ranch
development, Option 2,4 is the most economical, both in construction costs and long term
operational costs, for the entire basin.

NOTES:
1. Enclave at Lakeview Ranch contributes approximately 85% of the overall flow to the
Proposed Lift Station "C", therefore, items 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 have been reduced by 15%
reflecting existing flows fi.om the Grissom Lift Station.
2. Enclave at Lakeview Ranch contributes approximately 76% of the overall flow to the
existing Lakeview Ranch Lift Station, therefore, items 4 and 9 have been reduced by 24%
reflecting existing flows fi.om the Grissom Lift Station and l_atkeview Ranch, Phase 1.
3. Items 7 and 8 have been reduced by 20%. This reflects the weighted average of Notes I & 2.
This Engineer's opinion of probable construction cost is made on the basis of the Engineer's experience
and best judgement as a design professional. It must be recognized that any evaluation of work to be
performed to construct this project must by necessity be speculative in nature until completion of its actual
detailed design. In addition the engineer has no control over the cost of labor material or services to be
furnished by others or over market conditions. Accordingly Goodwin & Marshall, Inc. can not guarantee
that actual costs will not vary fxom the opinions expressed herein.

ITEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION:
4)
Receive a report on the wastewater master plan for the Enclave at Lakeview Ranch, and
consider approval of the Agreemem for the Provision of Sanitary Sewer Facilities for the
proposed subdivision with Canyon Energy Partners, Ltd.
P.S. Arora, Assistam Director of Wastewater Utilities, presented this item.
Canyon Energy Partners, Ltd. has proposed developing 437 acres of land spanning from US 380 to
South of McKinney Street. The proposed development named Enclave at Lakeview Ranch will
include 1,325 single family homes at project build-out.
The Enclave property lies within a much larger sewer basin. The existing wastewater facilities in
this basin are inadequate to serve the proposed sub-division and future off-site development. The
developer's engineer working with staff has idemified the projected wastewater service needs of
the emire sewer basin including the Enclave sub-division along with projected sewer flows from
the Enclave. A master plan to serve the entire sewer basin has been prepared by the developer's
engineer and reviewed by staff.
The developer is proposing an "Agreemem for the Provision of Sanitary Sewer Facilities", which
provides the framework to bind the City and the developer imo performing the tasks necessary to
complete the project to provide sewer service to Enclave.
Board Member Bill Cheek moved to approve the agreement, with a second from Board
Member George Hopkins. The motion passed by a vote of 5-0.

SUBJECT
Hold a public hearing and consider adoption of an ordinance graining approval of a
surface use of a portion of Briercliff Park for the purpose of a public street easement in
accordance with Chapter 26 of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Code.
BACKGROUND
The City of DeNon Engineering Departmem has requested the use of 0.546 acres of
Briercliff Park for the purpose of a new street right of way in order to construct a new
roadway known as Unicom Boulevard. The alignmem is requested to avoid a floodway
and not impact the waters of the United States.
State law as defined in Chapter 26, Protection of Public Parks and Recreational Lands,
of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Code requires that:
(a) a municipality of this state may not approve any program or project that
requires the use or taking of any public land designated and used prior to the
arrangement of the program or project as a park unless the municipality, acting
through its duly authorized governing body or officer, determines that:
(1) there is no feasible and prudent alternative to the use or taking of
such lan& and
(2) the program or project includes all reasonable planning to minimize
harm to the land, as a park, resulting from the use or taking.
(b) A finding may be made only after notice and a hearing as required by this
chapter."
Parks and Recreation Departmem and the City of Demon Engineering staff have
reviewed all possible alternatives. These alternatives included:
Terminate Unicorn Lake Boulevard at the south Unicom Lake Developmem property
line. This option is not feasible due to the existing commerce investmems along
existing roadways
Select another route through the city that would not cross Briercliff Park at this
location. Consider re-routing using Wind River Boulevard and 1-35E service roads.
Due to the volume of traffic anticipated and the one-way 1-35E service roads, this is
infeasible with the surrounding streets unsuitable to handle the traffic.
o
Construct the proposed Unicorn Lake Boulevard in the existing right of way
established. This option may not be prudent as it will produce significant time delays
of revising FEMA flood maps and additional roadway design expenses are needed.
Allow the construction of the new proposed Unicorn Lake Boulevard onto a 0.546-
acre strip of park property. This will provide for a safe route out of the floodway
creating little impact to the Park. Pedestrian Trails will be constructed along with the
street to provide connectivity to the proposed future Park and Recreational lands at
the Unicorn Lake Development.
OPTIONS
City Council may approve or deny the recommendation to a allow the construction of the
new proposed Unicom Lake Boulevard onto a 0.546-acre strip of Briercliff Park, select
any one of the other three options outlined above, or request staff to submit an alternative
not listed.
RECOMMENDATION
After reviewing all alternatives, staff recommends approval of Option 4 to construct a
new roadway known as Unicom Lake Boulevard using a 0.546-acre portion of Briercliff
Park. There will be no major impact on current or future park operations or programs.
The Parks and Recreation Department confirms that the City of Denton has investigated
all other alternatives and has used reasonable planning to minimize harm to the land.
ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT
Construction is projected to begin in June 2004.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW
The Parks, Recreation and Beautification Board considered this item on May 3, 2004 and
unanimously approved Option 4, to allow the construction of the proposed Unicorn Lake
Boulevard on a 0.546 acre strip of Briercliff Park.
FISCAL INFORMATION
Compensation related to this use is still under discussion with the Unicorn Lake
developer. It is reasonable to expect that improvements directly related to programs
and/or facilities on the Briercliff Park will be provided if approved.

Annexation, A04-0001)
BACKGROUND
Applicam: One Longhorn Land, LP
Dallas, TX
A volumary annexation proceeding is being considered by the City of DeNon for the Longhorn
Developmem annexation. In accordance with the City's annexation policy plan, approved in June
1993, the City will "assess on a case by case basis" the annexation of areas in the ETJ when significam
developmems are proposed. The subject property to be annexed is a portion of a larger tract which
exists both within and outside of the city limits.
On January 13, 2004, Rex Glendenning of One Longhorn Land LP, on behalf of property
owner, Bonnie E. Coonrod, submitted a petition for voluntary annexation.
The majority of the subject property is located in the extra territorial jurisdiction and is not
zoned and is undeveloped at this time.
The Comprehensive Plan idemifies this property to be within the "Neighborhood Cemers" land
use designation. The applicam is proposing multi-family residemial developmem and a golf
course.
Thirteen property owners were notified of the voluntary annexation request. No responses have
been received to date.

objective that the City of DeNon will pursue.
2. The annexation tract also contains acreage designated as Environmentally Sensitive Area,
which has very important water quality, flood control and natural habitat characteristics. The

Howard Martin, 349-8232 ~
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance approving a notice of restriction for a stream and
stream buffer area preserve associated with the construction and management of Lake
Forest Park, which preserve area is a 5.6 acre tract of land being a portion of T. LABOR
SURVEY A-779 and the N. Britton Survey A-51, an addition to the City of Denton,
Texas; and providing an effective date.
BACKGROUND
In December 2002, Advanced Ecology, Inc. approached the City with an offer to assist in
the development of Lake Forest Park. At the time, AEI was representing a client in
DeNon who had been required by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to
mitigate the loss of wetlands on the cliem's project site. After discussions with the City,
AEI granted the approval of the USACE to meeting their client's requirements by
assisting in the developmem of 5.6 acres of land at the recemly purchased Lake Forest
Park. AEI has issued a check in the amoum of $50,000 in fulfillmem of the USACE's
requirements.
As a condition of the USACE's approval of this mitigation plan, the City of Denton must
agree to restrict the 5.6 acre area to its use as a nature preserve. This restriction will
prohibit any construction of buildings, athletic fields, and activity facilities that will
adversely affect the intended extent, condition and function of the mitigation area. The
proposed area is a strip of land in and along the eastern bank of the lake at Lake Forest
Park next to the Lake Forest Retirement Community on Ryan Road.
OPTIONS
· Adopt the proposed ordinance approving this Notice of Restriction for the 5.6
acre mitigation area as a requirement of the United States Army Corp of
Engineers. This is Staff' s recommendation.
· Direct staff to consider additional details, modify the documem and resubmit to
the Army Corp of Engineers.
· Reject the plan for wetland mitigation to deed restrict a portion of Lake Forest
Park for a natural preserve and return the funds to the Developer.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the adoption of the proposed ordinance.

SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance authorizing the Mayor, or her designee, to execute an Interlocal
Cooperation Agreement between the City of Denton and Denton County to provide for Loop 288
engineering services; authorizing the expenditure of funds; and providing an effective date.
BACKGROUND
The attached ordinance and imerlocal agreemem have been drafted to describe the funding relationship
between the City of Denton and Denton County regarding Loop 288 East from IH-35E to US 380. The
agreement stipulates that Denton County will expend $719,225 toward the project, and the City of
DeNon will expend $890,775 toward the project. This project is underway with the county emering
into contract with Teague, Nall and Perkins to initiate the development of the schematic plans and
undertaking the developmem of plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E's) for this section of the
Loop. This agreement will provide funding to complete the PS&E's. Improvements to Loop 288 are
anticipated to expand the current 2-lane road to a 6-lane urban arterial. Once the engineering work is
competed, TXDOT will undertake the construction of the project with State funds.
Upon City Council adoption, the County Commissioners must adopt the draft agreemem before it will
be considered fully executed. The Loop 288 project is another example of a city-county transportation
partnership that is working to aggressively address local needs and has competed successfully for the
limited state and federal funds that are available.
OPTIONS 1. Adopt the ordinance as drafted.
2. Make revisions to the agreement.
3. Postpone action for further deliberations.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance as drafted.
ESTIMATED PROJECT SCHEDULE
The engineering work is amicipated to be completed by the end of 2005.

PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW
The City Council previously approved the initial Imerlocal agreemem on May 13, 2003 for the
removal of the Loop 288 bridge amoum of $200,000. The need for expanded traffic capacity on Loop
288 is well-documemed and is considered a high priority to meet travel demand in southwest DeNon.
FISCAL INFORMATION
The county's $719,225 project funding was allocated as part of the Better, Safer Roads Bond Program.
The city's participation of $890,775 was allocated from existing bond funds from the 1999-2004
Capital Improvements Program. This funding is currently available under the Project Numbers

SUBJECT: Consider adoption of an Ordinance amending Section 2-27 "Administrative
Departments" of the City Code to bring the City departments and the department head titles
current; providing a savings clause; and providing an effective date.
BACKGROUND: Subsection (a) of Section 2-27 of the City Code "Administrative
Departments" lists the administrative departments of the City and the department heads. This
Section of the Code has not been amended since it was originally enacted in 1966. As a part of
our Code Review Project, we recommended to the City Manager that this Section be updated to
reflect the current departments of the City and the correct titles of the department heads. The
City Manager agrees that this Section needs to be updated to reflect the current organization of
the City.
Under Section 5.05 of the City Charter, the City Manager has the authority to organize the
employees of the City into various departments and divisions with your concurrence.
Accordingly, it is necessary for you to pass this Ordinance in order to make the Code Section
reflect the current departmental organization.
OPTIONS:
The City Council can adopt the Ordinance which will reflect the current departmental
organization of the City.
The City Council can chose not to enact the Ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION: We recommend that you enact the Ordinance to amend this Section
of the City Code so that the current organization, the administrative departments of the City and
the department heads are accurately reflected in the Code. The amendment reflects the current
administrative departments as organized by the City Manager.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact as a result of this Ordinance.

CODE OF ELECTION ETHICS
FOR THE CITY OF DENTON
PURPOSE
The citizens of Demon deserve truthful, fair and open campaigns for public office. Such

discourage the cynicism, voter alienation and apathy seen too often in the election of those who
hold the public trust.
ASSUMPTIONS
The goal of free, open, sincere and honest debate on the issues.
Campaigns for public office are subject to unacceptable levels of negativism, attack advertising,
unfair election activities and other practices, which discourage participation in the elective
process.
Candidates are ultimately responsible for fair and ethical campaign practices.
FUNDAMENTAL CAMPAIGN PRACTICES
My campaign shall be committed to the principles of honesty, fairness, and respect for my
opponents and responsibility for my campaign activities.
S:\Our Documents\Resolutions\04\Election Ethics.doc

is an open and public discussion of issues and presentation of my record and positions in a
truthful, frank and sincere manner.
My campaign shall not use or allow outside parties to use deceptions, half-truths, or innuendo in
my campaign.
Claims made by my campaign, about myself or about my opponent(s), will be supported by
publicly available, factual documents or evidence.
I shall disclose all contributions made to my campaign and shall supply campaign finance reports
as required by law.
My campaign will not use the City Logo or letterhead.
OPPONENT RESPECT
My campaign shall avoid references to my opponent, which are untrue.
My campaign shall not use personal attacks, which have no relevance to the issues before the
public.
My campaign shall encourage debates in public forums.
My campaign shall present my record and that of my opponent(s) accurately in a manner
focusing on the issues relating to the office sought.
My campaign shall ensure that my campaign staff and campaign supporters will observe these
principles of campaign practices. As a candidate, I shall take full responsibility for all
advertising or other statements created or used on my behalf by both campaign staff and
supporters.
My campaign shall be conducted openly and publicly, discussing the issues as I see them,
presenting my record and policies with sincerity and frankness, and yet free to present the record
and policies of my opponents.
My campaign shall not condone or allow advertising, which does not meet these principles
stated, and should such occur, my campaign shall correct such advertising in an appropriate
manner.
SECTION 2. This resolution shall become effective immediately upon its passage and
approval.
