supported by the North Texas Council of Governments The Construction Advisory and
Appeals Board has reviewed all proposed codes and amendments and unanimously
approved them as written

Conservation Code The fuel gas code contains requirements for the installation of fuel
gas systems that were previously found in the plumbing code The residential code
contains all requirements for the construction of new 1 & 2 family dwellings including all
requirements for electrical, plumbing, mechanical and energy conservation Additionally
Senate Bill 365 provides for the adoption of the International Residential Code as the

desired The bill also mandates that municipalities adopt the International Residential
1
Code before January 1, 2002 The International Energy Conservation Code contains
requirements for construction to ensure buildings comply with specific energy
conservation requirements Senate Bill 5 adopted the International Energy Conservation

SUBJECT'
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, Texas, amending Chapter 28
"Braiding and Building Regulations" by amending Section 28-28(9)b, Table 2 New
Commercial Building Permit Fees, providing for the repeal of all ordinances that conflict
herewith, providing a severabfuty clause, providing a savmgs clause, providing for
pubhcatlon, and providing for an effective date
In an effort to further streamhne and samphfy the permtttang process for commercial
developers, staff as proposing to consolidate previously reqmred separate permits and fees
for new commercial constructaon into a sangle building permit Currently new
commercial buildings must obtain separate electrical, mechanical and plumbing permits
prior to commencing work The proposal would ehmtnate the reqmred separate permats
and associated fees and consohdate them anto a single "bualdang permit" This type of
permit as currently assued for new res~dential and multi-family constructaon Through the
use of a smgle budding permat approach system contractors can easily calculate fees for
estimating and job costang purposes Subcontractors would no longer be responsible for
obtmmng separate permats They would only be required to be properly regastered and
hcensed Staff wall vahdate the subcontractors registration and llcensang reqmrements
dunng the permitting process
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW'
A meeting was held with area budders to discuss the implementation of the sangle
permitting system All builders were an favor of such a change not only because of the
s~mphficatton of fee calculataons but also because of the overall reductaon tn permatting
costs
FISCAL INFORMATION.
The proposed ordanance wall have a manor fiscal impact It as estimated that the new fee
schedule wall result in an approxamate reductaon of $3,000 00 tn fees collected during the
next fiscal year

SUBJECT: Consider and adopt an ordinance authorizing the City Manager to enter into an
Agreement with the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers ("ASCAP") to
provide a license to perform pubhcly on premises, events and functions non-dramatic renditions
of separate musical compositions in the ASCAP repertory, and prowdlng an effective date
BACKGROUND INFORMATION. Late this summer, thc International Muurclpal Lawyers
Association ("IMLA"), through its Model Licensing Agreement Committee, and the American
Society of Composers, Authors and Pubhshers ("ASCAP") completed negotiations on a new
Model License Agreement ("License") for Local Governments ASCAP as one of the largest
collective hcensmg orgamzatlons representing many performing artists and musicians who have
written and copyrighted various musical compositions that are played by municipalities around
the country at special events The City of Denton is a sponsor of a number of events, including
the Arts and Sazz Festival, at which music ts played We also play music over Channel 26--the
City &Denton Government Access Channel--and on the Intemet Although wc or the presenter
of the events, like "Cmco de Mayo," have obtained various licenses or permits to play this music
from the Dallas/Fort Worth Musicians Music Organization, with individual musicians through
short form releases and licensing agreements, it is possible that there is some music being played
by the City at various events for which we have no licensing protection
Under the law, owners or operators of facilities are responsible for performances on their
premises The playing of music on City property without a hcense or other permit even if done
by a separate organization or group could expose the City to serious llabthty in thc form of a
copyright lnfnngemant The Federal Copyright Law, Title 17 USC, cstabhshcs property rights in
musical works and grants creators and owners of copyr~tcd music the cxchislve right to
perform or authorize the performance of their works pubhcly Generally speaking , Denton
cannot pubhcly perform or authorize others to perform copyrighted works without thc
permission &the copyright owner Any performance of music open to the public is considered a
pubhc performance performances transmitted or otherwise commumcatcd by means of a device
or process (the playing of music on Channel 26 or on Denton's webslt¢) are also public
performances Something as simple as playing unhcansed music at the next City Employee
Picnic or a~r~ng a citizen video at a Council meeting which contains unlicensed music could
expose Denton to liability which could mchide damages, attorney fees and court costs and an
mj unctloI~_ to prevent the further public playing of unlicensed music
The License grants the City the right to perform pubhcly at events and functions non-dramatic
renditions of the separate musical composalons m the ASCAP repertory including hve
performances and the playing of CD's, tapes, etc over loud speakers Under the hmltatlons
paragraph of the Lmense (Section 2) various actlwtles Including the broadcasting, telecasting,
transmission or retransmlsslon by w~re, Intemet, webs~te or otherwise to persons outside the
premises are excluded Our Channel 26 music may not be covered by th~s Lmense But we feel
that most of the music played on Channel 26 will be covered due to the fact that we have
obtained permission from Charter Communications to play the musm and Charter has indicated it
has hcenses from the hcensmg organizations We have also attempted to obtain ~ndlmdual
hcenses or releases from various performing artists The transmission of musm on our webslte,
however, will apparently not be covered by this L~cense The Lmense is also limited to non-
dramatic performances It does not include dramatic performances hke the performance of one
or more musical compositions accompanied by any type of the dialogue, pantomime, dance,
stage action, or a wsual representation of the work or the work from which the musm is taken
such as a music video A final limitation on the L~cense ~s that ~t ~ncludes only performing
musicians and artists who are members of ASCAP Although th~s covers many performing
artists, the other major cooperative licensing organization, Broadcast Musm, Inc (BMI) is not
covered by this License Therefore, BMI licensed music w~ll not fall under the protection of this
License
If the City s~gns the License before January 15, 2002, ASCAP has agreed to wmve any claims
for copyright mfnngement, on behalf of its members for unauthorized non-dramatic public
performances of music in the ASCAP repertory that occurred prior to the effective date of the
License Attached you will find some additional ~nformat~on from IMLA concerning the
ASCAP License including the pamphlet entitled "An ASCAP License Is Just Sound Policy"
which prowdes additional reformation on the need for and benefits of License
OPTIONS:
1 The City Council can choose to pass the ordinance and authorize the C~ty Manager to
enter Into the ASCAP License as written
2 The City Council can choose to pass the ordinance with any changes to the License it
may deem necessary
3 The City Council may choose not to pass the ordinance and continue to play music at
events without the protection of the ASCAP License
Staff recommends that the C~ty Council choose Option 1 and pass the ordinance as written The
IMLA Model L~censlng Agreement Committee spent many months negotiating this License with
ASCAP Although the License has a number of exclusions, we believe that it provides
protection agmnst the copyright mfnngement claims ~n several areas where the City is currently
unprotected It grants Denton access to and the right to perform more than 110,000 ASCAP
composers, lyricists, songwriters and publishers music It also g~ves the City ~mmed~ate access
to contemporary music as soon as it is written at no additional costs The waiver of previous
Page 2
clmms for copyright lnfnngement is additional consideration for the City's entrance into th~s
License
FISCAL IMPACT:
As a mtmmlpahty with a population of between 75,001 and 100,000, Schedule A of the ASCAP
License establishes the base license fee at $600 for one year This fee is due upon execution of
the License In addition, for any specml event we present that has a gross revenue in excess of
$25,000 the City must pay a gross revenue fee of 01% of the gross revenue as per Schedule B of
the License Thas fee ~s due within 90 days after the conclusion of each special event We must
also report any such special event we present, sponsor or promote with someone who is licensed
under an ASCAP license agreement The reporting requirement will cause Denton to ~ncur some
additional expense due to the staff time needed to comply wlth these reporting requirements as
well as the m~tlal reporting requirements under Section 4 of the License This appears to be a
very small consideration for the protection against liability which the ASCAP Licensing
Agreement provides

A Local Government Needs A
License to Play Music
Some Copyright Law Basics The Constitution authorizes Congress to
Promote the Progress of Science and the Useful Arts" by granting ex(;lumve
rights to authors This insures that creators can earn a hwng from their work
and pmwdes incentive for the creation of more works The Copyright Law of
the Umted States, Title 17 USC, establishes property rights m musical works and
grants creators and owners of copyrighted musical works the excluswe r~ght to
perform or authorize the performance of their works pubhcly (17 USC 106(4))
This means that, generally other parties cannot pubhciy perform or authorize
others to perform copyrighted works w~thout the permission of the copyright
owner Also as the ease w~th other property rights tho owner has the right to
be prod for the use of his property
What is a public performance? The Copyright Law defines a pubhc per
formance as one "in a place open to the public or at any place whore a
substantial number of persons outside of a normal circle of a family and tis
social acqumntances ~s gathered' Performances transmitted or otherwise cpm
mumcatsd by means of any device or process (for example via broadcast
telephone w~re or other means) to the public are also pubhc performances
(17 US C 'i01) The law requires users to obtain authorization not only for per-
formances by hvs musicians, but also for performances by mechamcal means
including wdeotapes, CD's, tapes, music on hold karaoke jukeboxes and radio and
TV receptmn
What Happens If You Play Copyrighted Music Without Permission?
If you choose to use someones musical property w~thout permission the law
provides that a court can assess damages from a m~mmum of $750 for each
work mfnnged, require you to pay the copyright owners' attorneys fees and
court costs and enter an ~nlunctmn against you
Why Are You ResponsIble for Obtaining a License? Under the law
owners or operators of facfl~tms or presenters of concerts and other events are
responsible for performances on their premises Technically everyone wdo par
tic,pates in an infringing performance is habie and copyright owners can sue the
event presenter or owner of an establishment as well as the members of the
band or the disc jockey who actually gave the unauthorized performance In
practice the owners and presenters obtain hcenses as a cost of do~ng business
SCAP and the International
Municipal Lawyers Association
How do you obtain a license? it is impossible for copyright owners to know of every con-
celvable use or performance of thmr works, and ~t would also be difficult for users of music to
locate all the copyright owners and negotiate licenses for all of the works that m~ght be used
So, composers and pubhshers of musical works authorize collective licensing orgamzatlons like
ASCAP to locate and hcense public performances of thmr works ASCAP the American Society
of Composers Authors and Publishers, makes glwng and obtaining permissmn to perform music
s~mple providing a valuable serwce to businesses and creators ahke ASCAP ~s the largest per
forming rights orgamzatlon m the world made up entirely of composers, songwriters and
publishers
Why Should You Obtain the ASCAP License Agreement for Local Governments?
Local governments have obtained many different hcenses from ASCAP for decades, but IMLA
and ASCAP found the current hcensmg system was burdensome and left local governments
notable Under the old system, each potential use of music (end you can see from th~s brochure
there are many~) needed to be identified and separately licensed One local government mLght
have many different licenses each with different reporting and payment requJrements fee struc-
tures levels and types of coverage and effective dates And there may be significant gaps ~n
coverage rmmng the potential for copyright infringement Imblllty
What Are the Benefits of the Agreement? The ASCAP License Agreement for
Mumc~pahtleS and Governmental Ent~tles - the product of negotiation between IMLA and ASCAP
- provides simple fast, comprehensive and affordable access to every variety of music you
need to attract entertain, enlighten and educate your citizens and vis,tots
Access to and the right to perform any or all of the more than 8 mflhon works of the
more than 110 000 ASCAP composer lyricist songwriter and publisher members and the
repertories of nearly 60 affiliated societies worldwide
Immediate access to contemporary music as soon as ~t ~s written
or published At no a(ld~tional costl
Saves the t~me, expense, paperwork and trouble of contacting
and negotiating separate permmslon for each musical work
that may be performed during the year
He[ps prevent even ~nadvertent infringements on the rights of
\
ASCAP members and formgn affiliates
ASCAP License Aq reement
Whet Is Covered? The hcense agreement covers almost all non-dramatic performances you
present both on government property and at functions and events at other locations These
Include hvn performances recorded performances (CDs tapes radio and televlsmn over loud
speakers) and musm on hold (ASCAPs licenses with radio statlolls do not cover your moslc on
hold transm~ssmns)
Done the License Cover All Uses of Music By Our Government? The license prowdes broad
coverage for just about any pubhc performance But copyright owners enjoy a number of separate
rights, including performing rights recording r~ghts and the rLght to reproduce (print) and distr~b
ute cop~es of their works so rental or purchase of musm does not authorize its public
performance Also ASCAP members only grant ASCAP the r~ght to license non dramatic public
performances of copyrighted music Ln the ASCAP repertory so 'dramatic' or "grand r~ghts per
formances are not covered
As ~t did with IMLA, ASCAP has negotiated comprehensive hcenses w~th representatwes of other
industries Those hcenses should cover your performances in those areas - so to avoid duphca
rive coverage the Local Government license excludes those performances For example ASCAP
and the American Council On Education and the National Assoc~atmn of College & Umvers~ty
Business Ofhcers negotiated a model agreement which almost all US colleges & universities
have obtained SlmflaHy radio and television broadcasts cable, satellite and Internet transmls
signs are also separately hcensed (although some of your closed circuit or ~ntranet transmissions
are covered by the new I~cense) Finally, performances at theme and amusement parks by pro
fessmnal sports teams or at professional sports events and by symphony orchestras are
hcensed separately
When and How Are Fees Paid? A base annual fee based on population covers almost all govern
merit sponsored or presented performances In addition a separate Special Event fee ~s prod 90
days after malor events that have very h~gh ticket revenue ASCAP and IMLA agreed on this dual
fee to keep the base hcense fee Iow and reasonable for all government ent~t~es Only those local
governments that present major events pay additional fees for those events
How does the Special Event fee work? You pay hcense fees based on gross revenue for all
"special events you present Spemal events are those with gross revenue' in excess of $25000
Gross revenue" means all monies you receive or is received on your behalf from the sale of tick
ets for each spemal event If there are no monies from the sale of tickets gross
revenue means contributions from sponsors or other payments recmved
You are not required to keep track of the musm performed at each special
~ event but you shoutd send copies of any available programs The program
~k ~nformatlon you furmsh helps us properly pay royalties to the composers
~nd pubhshers whose works you have presented
Where Do the License Fees Go? Over 84 cents of each dollar we collect goes right back to our
members and to the members of affglated formgn societies whose works are represented by
ASCAP ~n the U S
Who Reports and Paye For Co-Promoted Special Events? If you present sponsor or promote a
special event with someone who ~s licensed under an ASCAP License Agreement you wdl st~ll
need to report that event and prowde the name, address phone number and ASCAP account
number of the other party You must also let us know who will be respons;ble for payment If
the other presenter ~s not licensed by ASCAP then you will be responsible for paying the hcense
fee due - even ~f you have an agreement to the contrary w~th the other party
Must You sign an ASCAP local government license agreement? No but you must obtain
authorization to perform our members music You can also obtain permission d~rectly from the
copyright owner But ASCAP provides a valuable serwce to governments, businesses and orgam-
zat~ons that use copyrighted musm-by helping you easdy meet your obhgat~ons under the
Copyright Law In short, the ASCAP hcense =s music to everyone's ears
Are Changes to the Model License Agreement Permitted? The prowslons of ASCAPs license
agreements are umform and do not vary for licensees making similar use of ASCAPs members
music The reason for this Is that ASCAPs hcens~ng activities are largely governed by a consent
decree entered ~n a federal antitrust action, Umted States v. ASCAP, and one prows~on of that
decree prohibits ASCAP from '[e]nterlng ~nto, recognizing, enforcing or clmmlng any rights under
any license which discriminates ~n license fee, or other terms and conditions between
licensees s~milarly s~tuated
S~mply put, modification of the license agreement may well expose ASCAP to a clmm of d~s
crlmlnatlon asserted by other licensees with whom we have executed the same form of hcense
agreement However we recognize the special legal requirements of mumc~palltles and other gov-
ernmental ent~tles therefore, the agreement permits modifications such as the ~nclus~on of equal
employment opportumty statements and other provisions that are required by local or state law
What If You Believe ASCAP's Fees Are Unreasonable? Any music user who th~nks the fee for
an ASCAP license ~s unreasonable may ask the US D~stnct Court for the Southern D~strmt of
New York to determine a reasonable fee by instituting a proceeding in that court For more ~nfor-
mation on th~s process, your attorney should contact ASCAP's Legal Department tn New York

The 393r~ District Court of Denton County, Texas issued a temporary restralmng order (TRO)
commanding TXU to refrmn from destroying or otherwise &sposlng of records relating to the
payment of franchise fees to mummpaht~es m the State of Texas and granted Denton's
application for expedited discovery The mstrmnmg order was converted Into an agreed
temporary injunction Th~rty-slx other cities have joined Denton ~n the litigation In October of
2000, the City Council jo]ned with the other reties in forming a Steenng Committee and agreed
to assessments equal to $ 50 for each person resl&ng ~n the city based on the 1990 population
In November of 2000, the cities elected a five-person Steenng Committee to manage and make
key declslons in the litigation in consultation with the Strasburger and Price law firm About the
same t~me, the litigation was transferred from the District Court ~n Denton County to the 134th
Judmlal District Court of Dallas County, Texas Since TXU's mmn offices were ~n Dallas, a
venue m Dallas was a more convenient location for some of the other reties in the htlgatlon and
the venue was also more convenient to the Strasburger and Price law firm whose mmn offices are
~n Dallas. This was seen as a way to make the litigation proceed more efficmntly
Since November 1, 2000, the Steenng Committee has assumed the responsibility for paying the
future legal, consulting and court fees that accrue in prosecuting this delinquent franchise fee
ht~gatlon against TXU The Steenng Committee is composed of representatives from the C~ty of
Fort Worth, Carrollton, Richland Hills, Phlugermlle, and Denton There have been two separate
$ 25 assessments to the reties to fund the ht~gatlon As the case nears trial m July of 2002, the
Steenng Committee ~n consultation with Strasburger has determmed that ~t will be beneficial for
the cities to enter into a Professional Serwces Contingent Fee Agreement (Agreement) with the
Strasburger and Price, L L P firm and the Sayles, Lldj1 & Werbner, L L P firm We have
provided mformat~on on the Sayles firm and additional reasons for the necessity of converting to
a contingent fee arrangement in the status report
CONTINGENT FEE ARRANGEMENT Under the Agreement, both the Strasburger and
Sayles law firms would jotntly represent the C~ty They would recover nothing m the way of
attorney fees if they are not successful m obtmmng a judgment or a settlement in favor of the
ctt~es In the event such a favorable judgment or settlement ts obtatned, the reties would pay to
the law firms a contangent fee as follows
1 Twenty percent of the mount collected af ~t is collected before February 11, 2002
2 Thirty percent of the amount collected from February 12, 2002 until the commencement
of mai
3 Th~rty-five percent of the amount collected after trial is commenced (We are currently
negotmtmg to try to reduce th~s to thirty-three and a third percent )
4 Forty percent of the amount after the commencement the second trial or the filing of an
appeal
The contract also prowdes that the law firms will share in the present cash value of the non-
monetary benefits of the settlement as agreed by the law firms and the Caty Thru relates to any
amount that m~ght be recovered as a result of proof that TXU underpaid the 1998 electric
franchise fee Since future TXU electric fees will be based on a hlowatt hour charge determined
by dtvadmg the 1998 franchtse fees by the number of kilowatt hours, the finding of an
underpayment which would result m a greater kdowatt hour charge This would result ~n more
franchise revenue for the cat, es prospectively For the reasons set forth an the status report, I
cannot recommend that you agree to th~s non-monetary port~on of the contingency contract
Fmally, m paragraph slx, the c~t~es agree that they wall be responsible for all reasonable expenses
~ncurred m connection wtth the ht~gat~on, ancludang but not hm~ted to court costs, fihng and
serwce fees, deposition and transcript costs, consultant fees, and expert wttness fees Th~s will
entml an additional per capita assessment to the c~ttes based on the 2001 census of etther $ 25 per
capita or $12½ per capita Section (2) of the Agreement provtdes that the c~t~es will recover all
attorneys' fees and expenses prewously pard out of Strasburger and Price's port~on of any
attorneys' fees recovered This means that all premous expenses tn the ht~gatlon wtll be
deducted, from Strasburger's pomon of any contangent fee recovery
FISCAL INFORMATION: The assessment for reasonable expenses for the C~ty of Denton ~s
calculated as follows at $ 25 per capita
(a) TXU/Lone Star Gas will have an assessment of $12½ Denton's 2001 census of 80,537
The first assessment wall be equal to $10,067 12 If on January 1, 2001, CoServ ts
prowdmg gas to Denton customers, the $10,067 12 would be reduced an proportion with
the percentage of accounts TXU/Lone Star Gas had an relation to the total number of gas
customers in Denton
Page 2
(b) TXU Electric and CoServ Electric, Denton would have the assessment of $10,067 12
reduced by the percentage of customers m Denton pumhasmg electnmty from Denton
Electric and CoServ Electric For example, TXU has about 900 customer and CoServ
about 600 customers The 900 TXU electric customers will be divided by the total
electTlc customers in Denton which ~s approximately 40,000 (38,500 DME, 900 TXU and
600 CoServ) as of January 1, 2001 The $10,067 12 assessment on the gas side will be
multiplied by the percentage obtmned 2 25 percent (900/40,000) This will result in an
electric assessment of $226 51 or a total assessment for gas and electric of approximately
$10,293 63
(e) If the Steenng Committee decides on an assessment based on $12½ per capita, the
amount of the assessment would be about one-half or $5,146 82
Under the Steenng Committee gmdehnes, no c~ty would be required to contribute more
than 10% of the amount of D~verslfied Utlhty Consultants, Inc's audit that c~ty is entitled
to m delmquent franchise fees The most recent figures on DUCI's audat shows Denton's
damages m excess of $1,000,000
OPTIONS:
1 The City Council can approve the Ordinance and hire the Strasburger and Sayles law
firms on a contingent fee basis and approve another $ 25 per capita assessment
2 The City Council can approve the Ordinance without the non-monetary benefit of the
settlement contingent fee clause in the Agreement and approve the assessment
3 The City Council may elect not to approve the Professional Services Contingent Fee
Agreement with the Strasburger and Sayles law firms and continue to pay on an hourly
bas~s The status report lnrheates the most recent estimates of the costs of pursumg
htlgatlon on an hourly basis
4 The City Council may approve the Ordinance wath addmonal changes to the Professional
Services Contingent Fee Agreement
5 The C~ty Council may disapprove the Ordinance and choose not to pursue the litigation
against TXU
Staff recommends C~ty Council choose Option 2, the adoption of the proposed Ordinance w~th
the non-monetary benefits clause removed and the authorization of the additional $ 25
assessment per capita to pay htlgatlon costs

SUBJECT - A01-0004 (Masch Branch Road Annexatton) Z01-0005 (Masch Branch Road Zomng)
a Consider adopt~un of an ordinance on second reading to involuntarily annex approximately 32
acres of land generally located along Masch Branch Road, south of Hampton Road and north of
H~ghway 380, m the extraterntonal junsdlctlun (ETJ) of the C~ty of Denton The Planmng and
Zomng Commission recommends approval (6-0) (A01-0004)
b Hold a public heanng and consider adoption of an ordmance zomng approximately 32 acres of land
generally located along Masch Branch Road, south of Hampton Road and north of H~ghway 380 to
the Agriculture (A) zomng district classification The Planmng and Zomng Comm~sslon
recommends approval (5-1) (Z01-0005)
BACKGROUND
An involuntary annexation proceeding Is being considered by the City of Denton for the Masch Branch
Road annexation In accordance with the City's annexation policy plan, approved m June 1993, the
C~ty will "access on a case by case bas~s" the annexation of areas m the ETJ when s~gmficant
developments are proposed
~' On October 10, 2001, the Planmng and Zomng Commission held a pubhc heanng and made a
recommendation to City Council to approve the proposed ~nvoluntary annexation, service plan
and proposed zoning to an Agriculture (A) zomng d~stnct The Agriculture zomng district ~s
the most restrictive d~stnct and will preserve the general cond~t~uns of the s~te, until the C~ty
fimshes the cltyw~de rezomng efforts that began tn February 2001 The Agriculture zoning
d~str~et is typically used as the first zunmg d~stnet a property receives upon annexation mto the
e~ty hunts
} On October 9, 2001, City Council considered adoption of the annexation ordmanee on first
reading No one spoke at the reachng
~' On September 18, 2001, C~ty Council held the second pubhc heanng to consider thts voluntary
annexation No one spoke at the pubhe heanng
} On September 4, 2001, C~ty Cotmcfl held the first pubhc hearmg to consider th~s voluntary
annexation No one spoke at the public heanng The C~ty Council dtrected the c~ty attorney's
office to develop an enforceable restrictive covenant agreement that restricts *he use of the
property instead of an agreement m hen of annexation
~ Due to an insufficient vote to institute the annexation proceedings of the involuntary
aunoxat~un on June 5, 2001, the C~ty of Denton ~s re-unt~atmg the annexation proceedings for
the properties as shown
1
On February 27, 2001, City Council directed staffto proceed with the armexatlon of 122 acres
located along Masch Branch Road south of Hampton Road north of Highway 380 However,
after further consideration, on April 17, 2001, City Council decided to annex only Lot 2, Block
1, of the Mamott Garden Addition and the portion of land along the east side of Masch Branch
Road that accomplishes the 1,000 feet mlmmum width requirement for legal annexations The
new total area of the proposed annexation is approximately 32 acres
On February 6, 2001, City Council directed staff to initiate involuntary annexation proceedings
for the subject site On February 27, 2001, City Counml decided to include in the involuntary
annexation approximately 90 acres along the east side of Masch Branch to be in compliance
with Section 43 054 of the Local Government Code which states that mumclpalltles with a
population of less than 1 6 mllhon may not annexed property unless the width at its narrowest
point is al least 1,000 feet The total area of the proposed annexation was approximately 122
acres
A batch asphalt plant has been proposed on Lot 2 Block 1, of the Marriott Garden Addition,
located along the west side of Maseh Branch Road
The western portion of the proposed annexation area encompasses an existing sand and gravel
processing plant and portion of the county road mmntenance facility The eastern portion
includes a strip of vacant land
The Denton Comprehensive Plan 1999-2020 designates the western portion of the proposed
annexation area as an Employment Center and 100 Year Floodplain/Environmentally Sensitive
Area, The eastern portion m identified as an Existing Nelghborhood/Infill Compatibility area
The proposed zomng designation under the Development Code is Neighborhood Residential-2
(NR-2) This zoning designation will allow primarily residential uses with a maximum density
of 1 5 units per acre The annexation area is also subject to the Airport Compatibility Land Use
District-2 (ACLUD-2) overlay district After the annexation of the subject property, any
development shall be in compliance with the regulation included in the City of Denton Code of
Ordinances, including but not limited to zomng, subdivision and land development regulations,
parkland dedication, and landscape
The Texas Local Government Code allows a munlmpality to annex involuntarily 10% of the
incorporated area as of January 1st of that year Additionally, ifa municipality fails to annex in
a calendar year the 10% amount permitted, the mtmmlpality may carry over the unused
allocation for use m subsequent calendar years A municipality may not annex in a calendar
year a total area greater than 30% of the incorporated area as of January 1st of that year
o There were no involuntary annexations in 2000 Therefore, the 10% amount was
earned over As a result of the carry over and the three annexations already approved
(Ryan/Country Club, US 377/I/35W and Blagg Rd), the City has the ablhty to annex
6,451 49 more acres
o In 2001, the City of Denton had proposed to involuntarily annex a total of 2,989 acres
(Masch Branch, Robson Ranch North, AGF Ranch South and TRIO)
Notice of the proposed annexation and zomng designation was published in the Denton Record
Chromcle on September 1, 2001 Twenty (20) property owners within two hundred feet were
mmled legal notices and twenty-eight (28) residents within 500 feet were sent courtesy notices
informing them of the proposed annexation and zomng designation As of this writing, there
havo been SlX (6) responses ~n favor of the proposed annexation and none in opposition

DEPARTMENT: Planmng Department [
CM/DCM/ACM Dave Hill, 349-8314
SUBJECT - ZP01-0006 (Knollwood l/tllas)
Hold a public hearing to consider amending Ordinance 2001-191, which defines the zoning
district classification of the proposed Knollwood Villas multlfamdy housing development and
places conditions on its construction The approximately 22-acre property is located on the south
side of McKmney Street, approximately 1000 feet west of Loop 288 It is in a Multlfamdy
conditioned (MF-I[c]) zomng district The purpose of the proposed amendment is to alter
required transportation Improvements The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends
approval (6-0)
BACKGROUND
Ordinance 2001-191, which was passed by City Council on May 1, 2001, approved a change in
zoning from Agriculture (A) to Multi-family Conditioned (MF[c]) for the subject property
Contained within the ordinance was Condition 6, which required a collector road to be
constructed from the southern portion of the subject property to Loop 288 before a certificate of
occupancy could be released for the proposed development (Attachment 1 - Enclosure 3) The
applicant has requested that this condition be modified to require that only one-half of the
collector be built (Attachment 1 - Enclosure 4) This would effectively reduce the width of the
proposed'collector the applicant is responsible for from four lanes to two lanes Furthermore, the
apphcant has requested the ordinance be amended so that the completion of the collector to Loop
288 not be tied to the granting of a certificate of occupancy for the development The applicant
contends this is necessary to allow more time to negotiate with adjacent property owners for
required right-of-way for the collector
The applicant has also requested that the required right-of-way dedication for the southern and
western collectors shown on the Zoning Plan approved by Ordinance 2001-191 be reduced from
36 5 feet to 30 feet The current subdlws~on regulations require that collectors have a right of
way width of 60 feet, the applicant would be responsible for providing half of that wndth, or 30
feet At the time of the zoning, however, the developer anticipated that the proposed collectors
would have a right of way width of 73 feet, as proposed by the draft code The applicant agreed
to provide his half of that width, which is 36 5 feet The applicant would now like to revert those
right of way declination requirements to reflect the current subdivision ordinance
} Eleven (11) property owners were notified of the zoning request There has been one (1)
response neutral to the request

RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend that Condition 6 of Ordinance
2001-191 be revised to the following
Two lanes of a collector road from the subject property to Loop 288 will be provided
The width of right-of-way dedicated from the subject property for this collector and the
north-south collector along the western side of the subject property shall be 30 feet
Because the standard time (approximately three weeks) between the Planning and Zoning
Commission public hearing and the City Council public hearing was reduced to expedite th~s
application, minutes of the Planning and Zoning Commission public hearing are not available at
this time

PLANNING & ZONING STAFF REPORT
PURPQSE:
Hold a public hearing and consider making a recommendation to City Council regarding
amendments to Ordinance 2001-191, which defines the zoning district classification of the
proposed Knollwood Villas multlfam~ly housing development and places condlt~ons on its
construction The approximately 22-acre property is located on the south side of McKmney
Street, approximately 1000 feet west of Loop 288 It is m a Multlfamlly conditioned (MF-1 lc])
zoning district The purpose of the proposed amendment is to alter required transportation
improvements
LOCATION MAP
APPLICANT INFORMATION:
Applicant Jack Potashnlk
Southwest housing Development
5910 N Central Expwy, State 1145
Dallas, Texas 75206
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The applicant is requesting a pair of amendments (see Enclosure 4) to Ordinance 2001-191,
which was passed by Caty Cotmcfl on May 1, 2001 and which approved a change in zoning from
Agriculture (A) to Multa-famdy Condmoned (MF[c]) for the subject property Both of the
proposed amendments would deal with proposed transportation improvements for the
development
Contained wathm the ordinance was Condition 6, which reqmred a collector road to be
constructed from the subject property to Loop 288 before a certificate of occupancy could be
released for the proposed development (see Enclosure 3) The applicant has requested that this
condmon be modified to require that only one-half of the collector be bmlt, and that the funds for
construction of the collector be placed in escrow with the city This would effectively reduce the
width of the proposed collector the applicant as responsible for from four lanes to two lanes
Furthermore, the applicant has requested that the ordinance be amended so that the completion of
the collector to Loop 288 not be taed to the granting of a certificate of occupancy for the project
The appheant contends that difficulties in securing the necessary right o£ way from adjacent
property owners have caused delays to the start of construction of this collector
The appheant has also requested that the required right-of-way dedication for the southern and
western collectors shown on the Zoning Plan approved by Ordinance 2001-191 be reduced from
36 5 feet to 30 feet The current subdivision regulataons require that collectors have a right of
way w~dth of 60 feet, the applicant would be responsible for provadlng half of that width, or 30
feet At the time of the zoning, however, the developer and staff antmapated that the proposed
collectors would have a right of way w~dth of 73 feet, as proposed by the draft code The
apphcant agreed to provide his half of that width, which is 36 5 feet The applicant would now
like to revert those right of way dedication requirements to reflect the current subdivision
ordinance
PUBLIC NOTICE:
Notice of the zoning request was published in the Denton Record-Chronicle on November 3,
2001 Eleven (11) property owners w~thln two hundred feet were marled legal notices and thirty-
five (35) resadents w~than five hundred feet were sent courtesy notices informing them of the
request (see Enclosure 2) As of this writing, there has been one (1) response neutral to the
request
No neighborhood meeting has been held
ANALYSIS & RECOMMENDATION:
The proposed collector does appear on the city's moblhty plan, however the applicant's traffic
impact analysis (TIA) did not indicate that the proposed collector is a necessity, nor is its
constructaon reqmred by the City's Subdivasion and Development Regulations As such, staff
would accept a compromase by which the width of the collector the applicant is responsable for is
reduced However, staff does believe that the applicant should be required to construct the
collector to Loop 288 in a timely manner It should be noted that the applicant originally
proposed to build the collector to Loop 288 at the time of the original zoning case
Staff recommends approval of the applicant's request to reduce the width that they are
responsable for of the collector, but does not recommend approval of the applicant's request to
not be mqmred to construct the collector to Loop 288 Staff also does not recommend reducing
4
the right of way w~dth for the collector streets along the south and west boundaries of the
property as currently shown on the zoning plan If the right of way ~s reduced, a proposed
sldewalk/b~ke path will fall outside of the right o£way and wall need to be placed ~n an easement
MOTION:
I move to recommend the following amendment to Ordinance 2001-191
Con&tlon 6 shall be changed to read "Two lanes o£a collector road, from the subject property to
Loop 288, shall be provided prior to the ~ssuance of any certfficates of occupancy"

copy ofwhtch is attached as Attachment #1 to this letter Although the present roadways along
McKmney are sufficient to handle all traffic unpacts from the project, the city and we at Southwest
Housing, were looking to the future to the anticipated needs of the area ~nd citizens of Denton who
will live in the Knollwood Villas At all time during the discussions ~uh the cl~., the discussions
were for Southwest Housing and the adjacent property owner to conrn'bu'e to the construction of two
lanes of the collector As a result, Southwest Housing agreed to seek and construct the t~vo lane
collector with the help of adjacent land owners for the betterment oft he city and extension of the
thoroughfare plan presently adopted by the city council
Immediately upon approval by the city, Southwest Housm_o_, lac, contmu."d its efforts with
the nelghbonng property owners to secure the agreement for access and construction of the collector
pursuanttothedeslresoftheclty BothMessrs KentKeyandKenl~,~r.-y!rnmedlatelyunderstood
the obvious benefit to future development of the area and their propm7 by cooperating in the

The negotiations w~th the other property o~vner, Mr Dc~m~ Keep, have been distressingly
different and drfficult Brent Yendell, Allen Bussell of Sur~ cyor and En~-eers of North Texas,
Inc (SENT, Inc ), and I lmtially met w~th Mr Keep on Apr3 18, 20{,I We brought plans and
englneenng drawing to explain the project and the benefits ~lLch i~ ~ o_Id bring with regard to the
development of his property Mr Keep expressed an rmr~cchate cnshke for the project and
demanded numerous internal design and engmeenng changes m the proj -'ct In an effort to cooperate
and reach an agreement with Mr Keep, I instructed our desl.~n team to attempt Io satisfy some of
the numerous demands of Mr Keep The project was rc-engu~cercd on three occasions to attempt
to reach an accord w~th Mr Keep at the expense of Southwe-~ Housm~. Lac
A second meeting was held between Mr Keep and Greg Ed~ ~rds also of SENT, Inc, to
discuss the proposed engmeenng changes Ttus meeting lead onl) to more unreasonable demands
by Mr Keep to alter the entirety of the project and make the construct~c'~ economically unfeasible
Thereafter, Southwest Housing, Inc, had numerous conversanons ~u:h Mr Keep attempting to
resolve the issue of right of way over the adjacent property Finally, I ~quested our counsel, Nell
L Durrance, meet with Mr Keep to explain our legal position and the offers whch we had made
Each of these efforts met with only more demands from Mr Keep to change the project and
agreements which the city had akeady approved

AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET
AGENDA DATE: November 27, 2001
DEPARTMENT: Economic Development~//L...-
CM/DCM/ACM: Dave Hill, 349-831
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance establishing an economic development program under
Chapter 380 of the Local Government Code for making grants of public money to promote
economic development and to stimulate business activity in the City of Denton, approving an
economic development program grant agreement w~th Denton Crossing Partners, Ltd regarding
the development of an approximate 52 acre parcel of land located at the southwest comer of
Loop 288 and Spencer Road, authorizing the expenditure of funds therefore, and providing for
an effective date
BACKGROUND
At the October 9, 2001 City Council Work Session, staff presented a project proposal from
Denton Crossing Partners, Ltd (DCP), for a 52-acre retail center located on Loop 288 The
project requires construction of a considerable amount of pubhc improvements DCP requested
a rebate of a pomon of sales tax generated by the project to help offset those costs
The original request included the reimbursement for "hard costs" for the construction of public
improvements for Bnnker Road, Spencer Road, and utilities In addition, DCP requested
reimbursement for costs representing a "write-down" of land costs so that retml tenant leases
could be competitive The total request was for $8 million to be reimbursed through ½ of 1% of
the sales tax revenues collected from the project for a term of 15 years At the October 9th work
session, Council authorized continued negotiations with DCP The authorization also allowed
consideration of an additional $2 7 million to include the cost to extend Spencer Road
improvements to Woodrow Lane, as well as the cost to build the 1-35E Bnnker Road exit ramp
Staff has since determined that the City's ability to fund those additional projects is more cost
effective
After further review of DCP's proposal, staff and an independent consultant identified project
costs considered reasonable and appropriate for reimbursement (see Exhibit A of the attached
draft contract) The draft contract includes these costs but does not include the land "write-
down" costs originally requested The amount to be considered for reimbursement is now $7 25
million - a reduction of $750,000 in the original amount requested The term of the agreement
has been set at 15 years
Project / Contract Elements
· To qualify for program payments, DCP will be required to construct a minimum of
350,000 square feet of ret~ul/commerclal space, although current plans call for
approximately 443,000 square feet of floor space at build-out DCP will make every
effort to recrmt and lease space to major retailers not already located an Denton
However, leases may include Denton retmlers who may want to open an addmonal store
m Denton, or may leave Denton afthe opportumty to relocate as demed
· DCP wall prowde actual project costs for stems lasted m Exhabat A All costs wall be
examined by the city and verafaed as "reasonable and customary" Should costs be less
than esttmated, the Caty wall reamburse actual costs Should costs be hagher than

within the limats of the maxamum grant of $7 25 malhon plus ~nterest Interest is
calculated at the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 275 basas points
· DCP wall be required to meet all e~ty development process and rewew reqmrements and
adhere to all eaty codes Thas wall include the sate plan approval process to ensure desagn

vasual anterest, and artaculataon of braiding facades "
· A sales tax report for each month during the term of the agreement providing the total
sales tax generated by the project wall be provaded by the state comptroller's office

SUBJECT: Consider and adopt on third reading an ordinance granting to TXU Gas
Dmtnbuhon, a division of TXU Gas Company, its successors and assigns, a franchise to fummh,
transport, and supply gas to the general public in the City of Denton, Denton County, Texas, for
the transporting, dehvery, sale, and distribution of gas in, out of, and through smd mumclpahty
for all purposes, providing for the payment of a fee or charge for the use of the streets, alleys,
and public ways, repeahng all previous gas franchme ordinances and ordinances in conflict
herewith, providing that it shall be m lieu of other fees and charges, excepting ad valorem taxes,
prescribing the terms, conditions, obhgatlons and hmltaUons under which such franchise shall be
exermsed, promchng a savings clause, a severablhty clause, and an effective date
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The franchise w~th TXU--TXU Gas Dlstnbutlon's (TXU
Gas) predecessor Lone Star Gas Company for a 19 year term was entered into and became
effecUve around August 20, 1982 as a result of passage of Ordinance No 82-56 TXU Gas
assumed the franchise when TXU merged with Lone Star Gas in 1997 As a result of the
mediation in htlgatlon styled Cay of Denton, et al v TXU Gas, I have been negotiating a
franchise renewal with TXU Gas for approximately three months After lengthy negotiations,
we have finally come to an agreement on a franchise which is modeled after a similar franchise
agreement that TXU Gas entered into with the City of Bryan--where Mike Conduff formally
served as City Manger--in the fall of last year The key terms of the franchise are as follows
1 The francbase agreement is for a term of a little over ten years or from August 19, 2001
(the end of the previous franchise with Lone Star Gas) through December 31,2011 Our
consultant, Dan Lawton, of Diversified Utlhty Consultants, Inc, feels it would not be
prudent for the City of Denton to enter into a term any longer than this due to what he
prethcts will be mgnlfiCant changes in the way mtles are allowed to regulate and charge
gas utility companies hke TXU Gas for the use and oecupaUon of city streets and use of
rights-of-way
2 The franchise fee will be increased from 3% to 4% of gross revenues
3 The franchxse defimtlon of gross revenues Includes many revenue sources which the
premous franchise does not include These sources of revenue tnclude industrial
revenues, transportaUon revenues and m~scellaneous revenues These revenues will be
included regardless of the outcome of the TXU lmgaUon mentioned above Otherwise,
the parhes reserve all claims and defenses that they may have in the htlgatlon between
the City of Denton and TXU Electric Company which ~s currently pending in the 134th
Judicial Court of Dallas County, Texas
4 TXU Gas will be reqmred to comply--in its operations on City rights-of-way and other
public property--with all ordmances, roles, and regulations of the City as they may now
read or hereinafter be adopted TXU Gas w~ll be required to malntmn, construct, operate,
and to replace its pipes, mains, laterals and other equipment so as to not interfere with
traffic, city streets and other public facilities All placement of major facilities such as
mains, pipes, laterals and other pertinent equipment w~ll be subject to the approval of the
City Manager prior to construction Numerous provisions will provide for the
minimization of interference with existing underground utilities and other structures of
the City or other utilities that may have their facilities in the rights-of-way Bamers and
other safeguards must be erected when TXU has to excavate any of the rights-of-way to
repair or maintain or relocate their facilities TXU Gas is required to restore the public
rights-of-way and other public facilities to the condition they were in prior to the
commencement work A consistent ftulure by TXU to restore the public rights-of-way
appropriately can result In a penalty of up to 10% of the City's cost to repair
5 TXU Gas is required to file~wlthtn one year of the granting of the franchise--maps in a
convenient book, atlas or visual form showing in reasonable detail the Company's entire
gas distribution system in the City including locations, dimensions, and depth, to the
extent reasonably possible, of all its mmns, pipes and other facilities
6 TXU Gas mdemmfies the City from all liability created from any of its operations and
assumes the risk of loss with regard to its operation
7 TXU Gas has a duty to serve any customer within the City where it is economically
feasible for the Company to serve that citizen
8 The new francluse requires quarterly payments by TXU Gas Under the previous
franchise, the payments were made annually There is one outstanding issue with regard
to payments TXU Gas insists that they and their predecessor, Lone Star Gas, had been
making francluse payments on a prepmd basis In other words, when they make a
payment in a particular year, it covers the entire year in which the payment is made The
payments have been made on or around April 1st of the year Based on the information
we have been able to discover so far, we do not believe that TXU Gas's predecessor was
prepaying the gas franchise Our research indicates that Lone Star Gas was making
payments in arrears In other words, the payment made in April was for the previous 12~
month period Unfortunately, we have not been able to resolve this dispute entirely But
TXU has agreed that the franchise language will require a payment to be made by April
1, 2002, which will be considered a payment for the previous calendar year of 2001 But
if, by the date of the payment, TXU Gas provides the City with sufficient evidence to
convince it that TXU Gas has actually prepaid the previous franchise payments, then the
quarterly payment schedule will be revised to reflect the fact that TXU Gas has prepaid
Page 2
If not, the quarterly payment schedule shall remmn as indicated and TXU Gas will be
paying for each quarter currently or in arrears within 45 days of the end of that quarter
ADDITIONAL CHANGES. This ordinance was originally scheduled to be considered on
' d
second reading at your October 2n regular meeting The second reading was deferred to the
October 16th meeting due to some concerns over a large gas cost increase to the Spencer Electric
Generating Plant proposed by TXU Lone Star Pipeline in the renewal of the Interruptlble Natural
Gas Transportation Agreement The concerns about this proposed ~ncrease are addressed in the
City Attorney's status report and have not yet been resolved As a result of these concerns, we
have proposed changes in Section 8(C) and 8(C)(5)(e) of the Franchise that would remove
electric power plant revenue~denved by TXU from the Spencer Electric Generating Plant--
from the definition of gross revenues We have also expressly stated the Spencer Plant shall be
considered "power plant" customers as opposed to commercial, industrial or transportation
service customers
A final request by TXU was to delay the actual ~mposltlon of the new Gross Revenues payment
from August 19, 2001 to December 6, 2001, the projected effective date of the Franchise TXU
says this will assist ~t in negotiating contracts with its industrial customers I have made these
changes in Section I(B) of the ordinance but made it clear to TXU that they need to provide you
tn o
with an estnnate of the amount of revenue that would be lost dunng this period--August 19 t
December 6th SO that you can make an reformed decision
PROCEDURE FOR ADOPTING THE ORDINANCE Under Section 13 01 of the City
Charter every orchnance granting, amending, renewing or extending a public utility franchise
must be passed by a majority vote of the entire C~ty Council at three regular meetings of the City
Council Accordingly, you will need to pass this ordinance at three regular meetings which we
have determined will be your September 18, October 16, and November 6, 2001 City Council
meetings In addition the ordinance cannot take effect until 30 days after its final passage and
pending such time as the full text of the ordinance is published once each week for three
consecutive weeks In the Denton Record Chronicle The ordinance must be accepted by TXU
Gas TXU Gas is required to pay for the publication of the ordinance
OPTIONS'
1 City Council can choose to pass the ordinance as written
2 City Council can choose to pass the ordinance w~th any changes it may deem necessary
3 City Council may choose not to pass the ordinance
Staffrecommends City Council choose option 1 and pass the ordinance as written subject to your
approval of the change in Section I(B) The new ordinance provides the C~ty w~th much more
favorable terms and conditions than the previous franchise It w~ll result in a considerable
increase m franchise fees Any change in the terms of the ordinance will have to be negotiated
with TXU Gas since the franchise is a contract between the City and TXU Gas
Page 3
FISCAL IMPACT As indicated above, we ant~mpate the adoption of the franchise wall
substantmlly increase the amount of revenue the C~ty recmves each year from TXU Gas due to
the fact that the franchise fee will increase from 3% - 4% of gross revenues and w~ll ~nclude
many add~tmnal sources of revenue which had been prevmusly excluded by TXU Gas Dan
Lawton's best estimate ~s over the ten-year plus franchise term, the C~ty w~I1 receive $2 5 mdhon
~n additional revenues Stnce TXU Gas reserves the right to pass on all or a port, on of the
franchise fee to the Denton rate payers, this could result ~n a slight increase m the monthly gas
utthty bills for Denton customers
