II. General Information & Status Update
A. Women’s March – Since last week, Chief Howell has been working with Diana
Leggett and Jennifer Lane on the Women’s March Reunion on the Square. In
keeping with the announced label of a march, the organizers of the event had a
strong desire to have a moving activity for the attendees. In lieu of a total closure
of the Square, an agreement was reached to allow the group to march west from
the square to Oak St, to Cedar, and east on Hickory back to the courthouse grounds.
This will cause an interruption of traffic flow on Elm for an estimated 30 minutes.
Otherwise the event is scheduled to take place on the Courthouse on the Square
grounds. An agreement has also been made to hold adequate planning meetings
for future events in advance in order to ensure better communication and ensure
the safest event possible. Staff contact: Chief Lee Howell
B. Agenda for Saturday, Jan. 27 Council Meeting Posted – The meeting agenda and
materials for the Saturday, Jan. 27 City Council meeting have been posted online.
This is the third workshop with Attorney Alan Bojorquez regarding the
development of an ethics ordinance. Staff contact: Bryan Langley
C. FM 1830/Hobson Lane Intersection Improvement – As part of the proposed US
377/Fort Worth Drive reconstruction project, the Texas Department of
Transportation will include enhancements to the FM 1830 and Hobson Lane
Intersection. These enhancements will include widening the existing pavement on
Hobson by adding a 12-foot wide right-turn lane, westbound Hobson to
northbound FM 1830. This turn-lane will better match the proposed FM 1830
improvements which include a total of four northbound lanes: two right-turn lanes,
one thru-lane and one left-turn lane. Additionally, an ADA accessible curb ramp
will be added to the northeast side of the Hobson/FM 1830 intersection. These
enhancements will significantly improve traffic congestion frequently experienced
at this intersection. Below is a graphic of the intersection improvement with a more
detailed drawing attached. Staff contact: Mark Nelson
D. Fulton/Crescent Signal – At the Jan. 16 City Council meeting, Mayor Watts
inquired about the intersection of Fulton and Crescent. Traffic engineering staff
routinely reviews intersections throughout the City to assess the need for traffic
signals. As part of this process, the traffic signal at the intersection of Fulton
Street/Crescent Street was reviewed in August 2017. A traffic signal warrants
analysis (attached) at this location revealed that a signal was no longer warranted
at this intersection. As such staff has replaced the traffic signal with stop signs.
The replacement of this signal coincided with a large utility (water) project that
required the closure of this intersection for a couple of months. Staff has monitored
this location for the last four months and has not received any concerns from
residents/citizens or Denton High School regarding the traffic conditions at this
intersection. Staff contact: Pritam Deshmukh
E. US 380 New Speed Limit Process – At Mobility Committee meeting on
Wednesday, a question was asked regarding the process to establish new speed
limits. The primary criterion used in establishing a speed limit is called the 85th
percentile speed, which is determined by performing a speed study for calculating
the speed at which 85 percent of the vehicles are traveling along a given stretch of
roadway. The 85th percentile speed has been determined as being the speed at
which a prudent driver, given the type of street, will drive that roadway under
normal driving conditions. Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT)
typically conducts speed studies to determine the 85th percentile speed along new
roadways or recently widened segments of roadways.
US 380 was recently widened from a 2 lane facility to a six lane facility. As such,
a speed study was conducted to determine the speed limit along US 380 between
Bonnie Brae Street and Locust Street or US 77. TxDOT submitted the study to the
City and requested that the City amend the speed limits along this segment of US
380. City staff reviewed the TxDOT speed study and found the overall results and
recommendations acceptable and consistent with state and federal guidelines. US
380 is a state facility and TxDOT wanted to move forward with implementing the
new speed limit (40 mph) based on the study, approving the implementation of the
new speed limit authorized City staff (Police Department) to enforce this speed
limit. Staff contact: Pritam Deshmukh
F. Opening of 2499 – City staff has been working closely with TxDOT staff to
expedite the opening of FM 2499 with the City limits. The last remaining item is
the installation of a new traffic signal at the intersection of FM 2499/Robinson
Road. The City helped TxDOT by preparing the signal design plans for this
intersection. The critical issue holding up the process is the amount of time
required to get the signal equipment (poles, cabinet, etc.) which has been impacted
due to large demand in the Houston area. The City is currently coordinating with
TxDOT to provide signal equipment from its warehouse to expedite the
construction of the signal at FM 2499/Robinson Road. Based on recent feedback
from TxDOT, the anticipated opening date for FM 2499 is February 2018. Staff
contact: Pritam Deshmukh
G. Comp Plan/Future Land Use Map – As part of discussion on current and near-term
Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) projects at the January 16, 2018
City Council Work Session, Council Member Hudspeth inquired about the
correlation of the widening of a road (US 377/Fort Worth Drive) and changes to
the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) and Zoning Map.
Typically, staff does not look at this unless there is a major update to the Denton
2030 Plan, Future Land Use Map (FLUM), or the Denton Development Code
(DDC) and Zoning Map. When the FLUM designations were assigned as part of
the 2030 Plan adoption, one of the intentions was to serve as a guide for
coordinating transportation and utility planning. This was done to ensure that
available capacities are consistent with the demands from anticipated levels and
intensities of development along the corridors.
As part of the DDC update, staff will be looking at all areas of the city, particularly
those major corridors and the current zoning of the properties along those
corridors. One of the major components of the DDC update was to simplify and
reduce the number of zoning districts. Currently, there are approximately 35
districts and it is anticipated that it will be reduces to approximately 21 districts.
As staff begins to map the new districts and analyze what is currently on the
property and what are the development trends along that corridor or area, new
zoning districts will be assigned. Once that draft zoning map is complete, the
FLUM will be overlaid to ensure consistency. While staff does not have any
specific properties at this time to highlight, it can be reasonably expected that there
may also be changes to the FLUM designations. Staff contact: Scott McDonald
H. I-35E Frontage Road Lane Closure – TxDOT has notified the City that starting
Friday, Jan. 19, the right lane of the southbound frontage road of I-35E between
the Mayhill Road exit ramp and the Mayhill Road overpass will be closed. This
closure is necessary to allow for transition construction. The closure will last
approximately one (1) month. Signed detours will be in place. Delays are expected
and motorists should seek alternate routes. Staff contact: Mark Nelson
I. Transportation Criteria Manual Update – The technical manuals for transportation
and drainage were finalized in draft form on January 2. The draft copies were then
published on the City website on January 3 of this year with notifications sent to
our local development community and advertised in the Denton Record Chronicle
that the documents were available for review and comment on the City’s website
for 30 days. Next steps:
January 24 – P&Z presentation regarding the changes in the new manuals.
Week of February 5 – Meet with Denton County Developers Association
regarding their concerns and comments.
February 16 – Re-post the revised manuals based on public comment for 7
days.
February 19 – Advertise Public hearing of the manuals for the March 6
council meeting.
Staff contact: Mario Canizares
J. Raw Water Line Repairs and the Denton Katy Trail (“Denton Rail Trail”) –
Starting the week of Feb. 1, crews will begin work to repair 5 defects along the 30
inch raw pipeline that feeds the Lake Lewisville Water Treatment Plant. The
current plan is to start at the northern most defect near Pockrus Page, then move
to the southern-most defect in Hickory Creek. The project will finish with the 3
middle defects near Corinth Parkway. A map of the repair points is attached. The
work is estimated to take 5 to 6 weeks if there are no unforeseen weather anomalies
or complications. Because this pipe runs below the Denton Katy Trail (“Denton
Rail Trail”), there will be points where the trail will need to be closed. Staff is
working to develop safe detour routes for pedestrians and cyclists along the trail.
Staff is also coordinating with other cities along the trail and pipe that will be
affected by the repair work. Staff contact: Tim Fisher
K. Hickory Street Project Update – With 17 months of work remaining, Hickory
Street construction is on schedule as crews are now over 40 percent complete on
the project. The Streets Department broke ground on the section between Bonnie
Brae St. and North Texas Blvd. (Phase I) on January 4, Water is working between
Ave. B and Welch St. (Phase III), and Wastewater is 100 percent complete with
their portion of the project. City staff have be proactively communicating with
residents and businesses in the areas directly affected by construction. Attached
for your reference are photos of the construction taken on a site visit on January
17, and a general phasing map which includes a timeline. Staff contact: Todd Estes
L. TWU Golf Course – At the Jan. 16 City Council meeting, Council Member Briggs
asked if there had been a change in plans regarding the eventual planned closure
of the TWU golf course. Staff reached out to TWU staff who stated that the
eventual plan for the golf course, as presented during the TWU master plan
discussion in 2016, remains unchanged. TWU plans to continue to operate the
course and transition the land as the university needs more space for future
expansions. The project that was presented at the Jan. 16 Council meeting will
start to encroach on the golf course and TWU plans to make an official
announcement regarding the next steps in the project in the next few weeks. Staff
contact: Jessica Rogers

N. Quiet Zones Update – Staff is currently working with CTC, the consultant who is
conducting the Diagnostic Report for the Quiet Zone for the four at-grade
crossings in the downtown area (Prairie, Sycamore, Hickory, and McKinney).
Based on preliminary review and a field meeting with Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA), the quiet zones can be achieved by implementing certain
improvements (medians, closing/realigning driveways, moving crossing arms,
etc.) at these crossings. We are currently waiting the finalization of the field
diagnostic review meeting minutes which will help define the proposed
improvements at each location. In addition, staff is working on getting a legal
agreement setup between the City and Union Pacific (UP) so that UP can design
and develop estimates for the proposed improvements. Once the improvements are
identified, UP will design the improvements within their right of way (ROW) and
construct them after they receive the funds from the City. Outside of the UP ROW,
the City will design and construct the required improvements.
As a result of all of this, we have crossed a major milestone with the diagnostic
review field meeting with the FRA and we are 20% into an 18-month process for
completing the entire Quiet Zone project for these crossings. Staff contact: Mario
Canizares
O. Small Area Plan Update – Since the start of the project, the Area Plan Steering
Committee has met three times. The last meeting was this past Thursday night,
Jan. 18. So far the Steering Committee has provided input on what they think the
issues, concerns, and aspirations are for the area, developed Guiding Principles,
voted and selected on a name for the Plan, provided feedback on a logo, and
participated in a site analysis exercise. The name selected for the Plan is the “Oak
Gateway Area Plan.” The study area is bounded on the north by Panhandle Street,
on the east by Fort Worth Drive/Carroll Boulevard, and on the west and south by
Bonnie Brae Street and Interstate Highway 35.
The next step in the project is to seek community input. On Thursday, February
22, the City will host a Community Workshop to be held at the Calhoun Middle
School Cafeteria starting at 6 p.m. The community will have an opportunity to
provide input on the following topics: mobility, parking, neighborhood stability
and historic preservation, open space, new development and infill, and urban
design along major corridors. Additional information on the Workshop is
presented in the attached flier. Staff contact: Ron Menguita
P. Wayfinding Signage Project – Phase 1 of the project is underway; currently Color-
Ad, the company selected to manufacture and install the signs, are in town
conducting site work and installing footers for the signs. Phase 1 signs that include
Historic District Identification signs, Downtown Gateway signs, Parking Lot
Trailblazer signs, Parking Lot Identification signs, and Pedestrian Directional
signs are currently in production and will be shipped to the City as soon as they
are complete. This week the cast base cover at the bottom and the cast finial at the
top of the Vehicular Directional prototype sign located on Elm in front of the Fine
Arts Theater was installed. The installation of the base and finial completes the
prototype sign and we are inviting the public to provide comments. The mass
production of the base and finial will start after we receive feedback from everyone
and provide it to the sign company. Staff contact: Ron Menguita
Q. Denton Energy Center Construction Update – Construction on the Denton Energy
Center (DEC) is approximately 89% complete. Expenditures to date are
approximately 72.4% of the allocated project funds. The target date to begin
performance testing is late spring 2018. The target date for commercial operation
is early summer 2018.
A major project milestone was achieved when the building was energized with
permanent power on Jan. 4. The guard house shell has been erected and the plant’s
gas yard equipment has been set. Enterprise Products has started construction of
the gas spur. Oil and coolant piping installation is complete and the systems have
been tested. The new Jim Christal substation, which is the connection point for the
DEC to the ERCOT grid was successfully energized on Jan. 16.

Your Voice Matters.
The City is currently developing a plan for the Oak
Gateway area. The study area is bounded on the
north by Panhandle Street, on the east by Fort Worth
Drive/Carroll Boulevard, and on the west and south
by Bonnie Brae Street and Interstate Highway 35.
Your participation in the Oak Gateway Plan is a
critical part of the visioning process. Get involved

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Small Intersection Improvement Projects
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
City Council recently approved funding for design and construction of Small Intersection
Improvement Projects at six (6) locations throughout the City. The majority of the locations
currently experience considerable traffic congestion during morning and afternoon peak hours.
As such, staff identified capacity and signal enhancements at each location that would help
alleviate the existing traffic issues. This report provides an overview of the proposed plan to
design and implement (construct) these small intersection improvements. The goal is to complete
these projects by end of 2018.
BACKGROUND:
At the August 26, 2017, City Council Retreat, the City Council gave direction to Staff to develop
a short term plan that would make immediate traffic flow improvements within the City. As a
result, traffic engineering staff identified six intersection improvements that would address
citizen complaints, alleviate congestion, and improve safety. The intersections were identified
based on the amount of traffic congestion, the ease of design and implementation, and the
immediate and noticeable impact to drivers.
In the December 12, 2017 meeting, City Council approved funding for the six Small Traffic
Improvement Projects. The estimated cost of the projects is shown in the table below.
Project Short-Term Improvement Estimated
Cost
Colorado Blvd/Loop 288 Extend the eastbound left turn lane $200,000
Country Club Rd/Hickory
Creek Rd
Add a westbound right turn lane $150,000
US 77-Dallas Dr/Teasley Ln Add turn lanes, channelized islands $725,000
Bell Ave/McKinney St Add a northbound right turn lane $120,000
Carroll Blvd/Sherman Rd Add a northbound left turn lane and improve
the turning radius on the south-east corner
$425,000
University Dr/Old North Rd Add left turn lanes (north-south) $500,000
Total $2,120,000
PROJECT STATUS:
Since, the City Council approval staff has worked on soliciting, reviewing, and shortlisting
qualified design firms suitable for these projects. Staff intends to engage the services of six
different design firms (one for each project) to expedite the design process and move the projects
on parallel tracks. The design for all the projects is anticipated to be completed by April 2018.
Subsequently, the projects will be divided into two groups with three projects in each group. The
bundled projects will be advertised and bid as two separate contracts for construction. The bid
Date: January 19, 2018 Report No. 2018-007
and award phase is anticipated during the summer months with the construction starting in fall
and completion by end of 2018.
The overall schedule for each of the project is shown below. Note that one of the projects (Dallas
Drive/Teasley Lane) is already under design and the surveying (first step of the design phase) for
the remaining projects will begin January 29, 2018.
CONCLUSION:
Staff plans to move these small intersection improvement projects through the design and
construction phase in an expeditious way to complete majority of the construction by end of
2018.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Disposal of surplus property
BACKGROUND:
At the City Council Work Session on August 8, 2017 staff presented information concerning
prospective surplus city owned real property tracts in terms of those available now and those
available in the future. City Council gave direction to move forward with the first group of five
for disposal. Council discussed holding the 2910 University Drive site for a possible future fire
station use.
In an Informal Staff Report, dated September 15, 2017 , it was reported that staff reviewed the
2910 University Drive site and determined it is not feasible for a fire station due to the usable
property on the site after the utility easements and floodplain encumbrances are accounted for.
DISCUSSION:
The city rarely has surplus property, and it was determined by Real Estate staff that the last
process used to dispose of real property was dated and required significant updating. Staff have
researched other cities’ processes and met with both Purchasing and Legal to update and
standardize the process going forward. Real Estate staff will be working with Purchasing and
Legal in the coming weeks to finalize documents.
CONCLUSION:
Staff expects to have a request for proposal (RFP) prepared for advertising by February 16, 2018.

SUBJECT:
Status Update on the Denton Parks and Recreation Master Plan
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Currently the City of Denton Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) is operating from the
Parks, Recreation, and Trail System Master Plan prepared in 2009 by Jacobs Carter Burgess
(JCB). As part of the new PARD Strategic Plan, the master plan will be updated beginning this
summer through an RFP with potential funding sources from the Southwest Park Master Plan.
BACKGROUND:
In fiscal year 2008-09, the City contracted JCB to complete a ten-year action plan encompassed
in the Parks, Recreation, and Trails Master Plan. The plan provided professional planning and
landscape architectural design services as an update to the pre-existing Comprehensive Parks,
Recreation and Open Space Master Plan. In addition, JCB added the Trail Master Plan.
The scope of work resulted in a ten-year action plan for orderly planning and development, and
established priorities and statements of direction based on research and need analysis.
Components of the master plan update included:
Inventory Matrix and Park Maps
Population Characteristic and Demographics
Public Input and Needs Assessment
Standards Analysis and Service Area Maps
Existing, Proposed, and Potential Trails Map
Priorities Based Recommended 10-Year Plan and Funding Methods
DISCUSSION:
PARD staff has recently begun work on providing updates to the current master plan to
supplement the scope of work anticipated in an upcoming RFP. Component updates include:
Inventory Matrix and Park Maps
Population Characteristic and Demographics
Existing Trail Maps
Additionally, PARD staff is in the process of designing an outreach survey to evaluate program
needs within the community. Updates to the remaining components of the master plan requires
technical data gathering and analysis of park standards, use, and trends. Community engagement
and input in the form of public meetings and forums is critical to capturing facility and amenity
needs. These components would be performed through a professional services contract.
Date: January 19, 2018 Report No. 2018-009
Capital project funding is currently allocated for a master plan and design of Southwest Park.
Incorporating the Southwest Park plan into the Department’s master plan update would represent
a comprehensive approach to park system planning.
An updated master plan will provide direction in City-wide and Departmental strategic planning
for creating sustainable, liveable, and friendly environments. Analysis results and
recommendations will be used to guide and support consideration and advancement of new
projects in the next bond program as well as promoting enhancements to existing infrastructure.
CONCLUSION:
PARD staff’s updates of the existing master plan and inclusion of the Southwest Park plan will
provide a strategy for an RFP expected to be released by July with review and approval of a final
contract by Council. Financing for the Department’s master plan update has been identified
within available capital project funding. Work with a professional firm will deliver a system
wide master plan reflective of current conditions and trending needs.
ATTACHMENT(S):
A current 10-Year Action Plan is included highlighting the projects that have been accomplished.
Various other projects remain uncompleted. As projects are completed under the updated master
plan program, Council will be continually updated on progress as the program evolves.
