He explained that all of the issues had not been resolved. Hart explained that the construction of the realignment of Shell Road was very important to the completion of the Inner Loop. He said the Campbell Company would initially dedicate a 30 -foot easement within the proposed Shell Road right of way for utility construction. He said it is planned for HEB to construct the two western lanes of Shell Road that borders their property, build a temporary realignment of Sequoia Spur, until Shell Road and Verde Vista are completed to the Campbell tract, and at that time, Sequoia Spur would be abandoned to the adjacent property owners, HEB and Dicotec Corporation. He said the completion of Verde Vista is necessary to obtain access to the Dicotec land. He said that staff recommends that the Council approve the Campbell Tract Development Agreement and Items KK, LL, and City Council Meeting Minutes/August 26, 1997 Page 6 of 11 Pages MM; and suggested that Council defer Items NN, 00, PP, and QQ until the remaining issues concerning development on the HEB tract are resolved. Richard Ferrar, representing the Campbell Tract, told Council he would be happy to speak in regard to the Concept Plan if they had any questions. Council had no questions regarding the Concept Plan. Bain asked for an explanation of the details of the Development Plan. Banks told him that the Agreement deals with the dedication of the right of way for the Shell Road realignment and construction of a portion of Shell Road. She explained that other road construction would take place at various points. Bain asked for and received confirmation that, according to state law, the City would be responsible for the construction of the entire road beyond that being done by the Campbell Company. A lady in the audience asked why Verde Vista was being extended. Hart suggested that would be explained during the discussion of Item M. It was decided that Barry should give an overview of all of the connected items on the agenda concerning these issues. Hoyt asked about the interconnectivity of the streets. Barry reminded Council that the City policy is to integrate neighboring roadways for ease of movement throughout the community. He used as an example the recent completions of Northwest Boulevard and Dawn Drive, which have relieved some of the traffic on Williams Drive. Barton asked about the timing of the Verde Vista and Sequoia Spur projects. Barry noted that when all of the new Shell Road is constructed, Verde Vista would be extended, and the newest addition of Sequoia Spur would be eliminated. Ferrar added further detail to the explanation of the proposed street projects. He explained that Campbell Company has dedicated much more right of way than necessary in order for Shell Ranch Development to obtain City utilities. In answer to Wood's question, Ferrar predicted a five-year timeframe for the completion of the proposed street build -outs. Jim Knight, representing HEB, reconfirmed that there would be a meeting next week to work out the final details. He requested that the first reading on the HEB Development Agreement be considered at tonight's meeting in order to meet contractual obligations with the Campbell Company. James Anagnos, 166 Penny Lane, said he spoke as a representative of his neighbors in Gabriel Estates, saying they had expected to be annexed, but never expected that Penny Lane would be made a thoroughfare to relieve traffic from Williams Drive. He asked that the apartment complexes be placed on the Inner Loop, not on Penny Lane. City Council Meeting Minutes/August 26, 1997 Page 7 of 11 Pages Randy Weisbrod, 101 Teri Court, said he has a twelve-year daughter who is blind. He said she rides her bicycle and plays in the neighborhood. He knows that his fourteen neighbors are aware of her and is concerned about the increase in traffic if Penny Lane is opened. Former Mayor Bill Connor, as Vice Chairman of the Board of the Wesleyan Homes, said that Wesleyan Homes has acquired property along Williams Drive. He said they are grateful for the Campbell development, including HEB, saying that their projects will enable the wastewater line to be completed. Robert W. Jackson, Jr., 700 W. Sequoia Spur, said he is not opposed to the proposed developments, but said he is concerned that the temporary Sequoia Spur cut -through would become permanent to accompany the development of the Dicotec property. He also asked that a specific method of calculating the impervious cover be used when development occurs. Bruce Stokes, 704 Esparada Drive West, said he is concerned about the safety issues involved in diverting traffic off of Sequoia Spur. Ferrar noted that HEB would be putting in a traffic light which would help the safety issue. Deanna Young, 703 W. Sequoia Spur, asked Council to ensure that the blockade at Sequoia Spur becomes permanent. Roxanne Valdez, 705 W. Sequoia Spur, asked that Sequoia Spur be permanently blocked and the variance be allowed to the Dicotec property to allow all commercial traffic to access from Williams Drive rather than through the subdivision. Hoyt and Bain asked to review the sequence of the proposed street projects. Hart explained that the existing Cedar Breaks Road is to be a section of the Inner Loop, so Shell Road would be realigned to connect with Cedar Breaks as it meets Williams Drive. He said that when the HEB property is platted, the developer will be required to construct the western two lanes of the new Shell Road, and during that time, a small east - west section of Sequoia Spur would be constructed by HEB, to temporarily relocate Sequoia Spur until Verde Vista is completed.
