Concerns from Council focused on the following items:

• Requests for variances
• Sewage & lift station
• Perimeter streets
• Traffic study

• Drainage - Mr. Davis stated that the developer was well aware that serious
drainage issues would have to be addressed but that addressing these issues
02-08-05 City Council Minutes -Regular.doc Page 3 of 6 02-08-05
required full engineering plans that were part of the final plat requirements in the
City's subdivision regulations.
• Water supply and other facilities — The developer has a Facilities Agreement
with the City through which the City agrees to provide an adequate supply of
water and the developer will build the facilities necessary to access the water
supply. The developer will pay impact fees as required under the City's
ordinance and per the Facilities Agreement.
• Stub -out — The developer has revised plans to include one stub out to the west.
Developer believes that this satisfies the spirit if not the exact letter of the City's
ordinance.
• Wastewater services — The developer has a Facilities Agreement with the City
through which the City agrees to provide wastewater treatment services and the
developer will build the facilities necessary to access the City facilities and
services. The developer will pay impact fees as required under the City's
ordinance and per the Facilities Agreement.
• Perimeter streets — Developer will build a four -lane crossing of the DART rail at
CR 376 and two lanes of an ultimate four -lane divided thoroughfare on CR 376
now and will build two lanes of an ultimate four -lane divided thoroughfare n CR
1106 prior to construction of Phase 3.
• Traffic study - Lee Lawrence, City Administrator advised the council that he
conferred with Mr. Walton regarding the traffic study and it was not needed, due
to being the only subdivision in that whole area.
• Variances — The developer is requesting variances from Section 8.2.17, which
limits the number of lots to 50 for each exterior street access and to 150 for each
access to an existing road, and from Section 8.2.18, which requires boundary
street openings at intervals not exceeding 1,000 feet (the developer is providing
one opening rather than two openings on the western edge of the subdivision).
Motion to accept the preliminary plat for Northpointe Crossing with two variances, noted
in section 8.2.17 and 8.2.18, by Mark Montgomery, seconded by John Geren.

not to exceed $60,000 for purposes of changing screening and installing high
voltage pump and associated electrical changes for purpose of increasing
production capabilities of water well located at E. Fifth and S. Sherley.
Time Morris, Morris Engineers, advised the council on the need for a high voltage pump
and pre -packed screen. He noted that the changes should significantly increase the
production capacity of the well, from 300-350 gpm to 500-600 gpm, although well
production could never be determined with certainty until the well was completed and
on-line.
Motion to approve the increase in contract amount by not more than $60,000 for purpose
of changing screening, installing high voltage pump and associated electrical changes
by Councilman J. W. Finley, Jr., seconded by John Geren.
