XII. REGULAR ITEMS
I. Review and consider action on Tarrant County Road Bond Project Designs for Little
School Road, and Sublett Road.
1. Staff Presentation of Proposed Project
Bob Hart, City Manager provided a recap of the Tarrant County Road Projects, which
addressed the road projects timeline, County participation parameters, 2007 project
review and actions, community issues, and roadway design studies /examples.
Mr. Hart stated that the current design that is the topic of discussion was based on
resident feedback, traffic projections, and other issues. The round -a -bouts were
provided to help for smoother left turning movements at intersections, and would
assist with air quality as traffic would continue to move.
3495
A video clip was then shown reflecting a round -a -bout in Southlake, Texas in which
the audience could get a sense how traffic moves through the intersections.
Mr. Hart indicated that the medians were placed in the roads to encourage low speed,
would permit u -turns without traffic backing up, would provide for easier pedestrian
crossing safety, and the landscaping would assist with branding of the community.
The overall design was recommended for a dramatic change when you enter
Kennedale from adjoining communities, and is consistent with the Strategic Plan.
2. Presentation by Youth Advisory Council (YAC) for round -a -bout design
Nathan Deegan, Chairman with the Kennedale Youth Advisory Council (YAC)
introduced YAC members present and addressed round -a- bouts.
Mr. Deegan explained that the main purpose of the Council is to help connect the
community and bridge the gap between the City and the student body. In doing so,
YAC was presented an opportunity to design a center piece that could be placed
within the round -a -bout at the intersection of Wildcat Way and Kennedale Sublett
Road. Thinking about how this could help the city and the students, two main
questions were asked. One, was this the only way to minimize traffic? Two, what
would be some other means by which we could go about doing so?
Two main ideas that came to mind were stop signs and stop lights. Decided round -a-
bout would be the best way at achieving our cause. With the round -a -bout it has been
proven that there is a constant flow of traffic and it decreases the number of
accidents. Another factor contemplated when making a decision, was how this could
connect our city. If stop signs were installed, Wildcat Way and Sublett's looks
would not change and would still be another two streets. Stop lights bring too much
of an industrial look. Round -a -bouts in our opinion look more elegant and provide
the city a more progressive look. Now that decision was made, we started thinking of
ways which we could truly depict the students and the round -a -bout centerpiece.
Met to discuss what they would like to see in the round -a -bout. Fahad Ali came up
with a centerpiece, in which all students agreed upon.
Next, Timothy Brestowski, Vice -Chair of the Kennedale Youth Advisory Council
addressed facts and statistics in regards to round -a- bouts. He explained the major
differences between the two, as well as the visual difference.
He said round -a -bout studies reflect traffic patterns perform better than any other
intersection forms including stop light and stop signs, and reduce the number of
potential conflicts. Further, the US Dept of Transportation research reflects the
severity of accidents were reduced significantly with the installation of round -a-
bouts.
Mr. Brestowski said a survey was conducted by YAC on students who would be
1 utilizing the round -a- bouts, which reflected 51% in favor, and 49% against. Results
lead to further research on percentage against round -a -bouts to see what a better
solution would be, in which 32% of the student preferred to keep the roadway as is,
36% wanted a stop light, and 32% preferred a 3 -way stop.
3496
Fahad Ali then described the centerpiece for the round -a -bout. An aerial view
reflects four unique symbols which will be placed on the outside of the top most
layers. Symbols included a gavel, which represents the different clubs and
organizations within the school to display the orderly way that the school is held
together. Secondly, the music notes represents the inter rhythm of the school from
the band to the choir and all the personal music players in between. The torch
demonstrates athletics of the school. School pride is deep in the green of the uniform
and we stand with honor on the field. Last but not least, the masks show the fine arts
that run through the school. This symbol represents the showmanship of the students.
The main part of the centerpiece is the statue, which is the Wildcat standing primarily
over the student with pride and carefulness, the prestigious animal protects the
student. The child is reading a book to represent the importance of an education at
KHS and KISD. The quote stands in the shadow of the statute, both literally and
figuratively. It stands in respect of the structure as it emphasis both the living and
learning wings of the school. The quote will be wrapped around the bottom layer of
the structure. Parking lights will be placed around the outside of the centerpiece, in
which green lights would be lit during home games, and white lights will be lit on all
other nights and pointed inwards.
Mr. Deegan closed the presentation indicating that a statistic presentation was
presented before the leadership class, and found out that many of the students did not
understand what a round -a -bout was, and /or the entrance /exit of a round -a -bout.
After presentation, opinions were changed to favor the round -a -bout. Round -a -bouts
use physical and geometric features that have been repeatedly proven to be safer and
more effective than driver obedience and traffic control, and proven safer than any
other intersection form.
3. Public Comments
Mayor Lankhorst opened the meeting for public comments at 7:51 p.m.
Dempsey Farmer, 1150 E. Kennedale Sublett Road, Kennedale, TX registered in
opposition to the roadway project design. Mr. Farmer expressed concerns with
roadway width being 15' versus 16', as it was a face to face roadway, left turn traffic
back up, emergency vehicle access and response times, and round -a -bout pedestrian
traffic. Mr. Farmer encouraged Council to reconsider the design of the roadway and
make it a safe road for all of the citizens of Kennedale.
Roy Boenig, 1020 Kennedale Sublett Road, Kennedale, TX registered in opposition
to the roadway project design. Mr. Boenig expressed concerns with road width,
driveway modifications for emergency vehicle access, costs to maintain medians, and
four lane roadway versus two lane roadway with continuous left turn lane. Also, Mr.
Boenig indicated that Council should consider the median on Kennedale Parkway
versus rural residential streets.
Next, Mr. Boenig indicated roadways would not affect any Councilmember as they
did not live along the roadway. He then asked Council to reconsider the roadway
medians, as it will affect 53 residential property owners every day for the next 20
years and is a huge inconvenience that should not be done. In closing, he indicated
that he was not against the round -a- bouts.
3497
Frank Fernandez, 911 Shady Vale Drive, Kennedale, TX registered in favor of the
roadway project design. Mr. Fernandez indicated that the roadway project design has
been discussed over the past few years, in which discussions included roadway
width, design, costs association, safety, and gateway entrance to the City. He
recommended Council move forward with the project as planned.
Mayor Lankhorst noted that Patrick White and Peggy Gostomski, 4301 N. Lordsburg
Court, Arlington, TX 76017 registered in opposition to the roadway project design,
but did not wish to address Council.
No further comments, Mayor Lankhorst closed the public hearing at 8:10 p.m.
Next, Mayor Lankhorst requested responses from Council in regards to public
comments, if any.
Councilmember Turner spoke of his experience from driving various fire trucks in
Mesquite, Texas in which roadways were not 16' wide and driveway entrances were
the standard entry width, which never prevented or delayed a fire truck from getting
to a scene.
Mike McMurray, Fire Chief addressed Council and the audience stating in his 35
years of experience, firefighters get to where they need to be. Chief McMurray
promised the citizens of Kennedale that his department will always be there for them.
Li Councilmember Turner explained that he was not concerned with emergency
vehicles being slowed down getting to a residence, not concerned with them getting
to your house, not concerned with them making a u -turn to get back to your house, as
he feels these are no problems being someone who has driven fire trucks, being
someone has sat in the passenger seat, being a citizen who has to rely on them to get
to me — no problem with any emergency vehicle getting to any house on the roads.
Roadway improvements are not going to hinder the department getting to where they
need to get to.
Also, Councilmember Turner indicated that roadway did impact him as his parents
lived along the roadway, and his street would be affected as more cars would be
utilizing his street for the u -turns.
In summary, Councilmember Turner said he truly understands and appreciates the
issues, but feels it all comes down to the frustrations with the issues of having to
make u -turns to get back to one's own driveways when one has not had to do that in
the past.
Greg Saunders, Engineer with Teague Nall and Perkins indicated that he had been
working on the project with the City since 2005. Mr. Saunders said the lane width
from the back of the curb is 16', which makes the travel lane 15', and 6" curb on the
outside and left inside curb carries a 4" curb, which allows a vehicle to travel up the
curb for emergency purposes. Mr. Saunders said roadway is intended to be a one-
lane roadway, not two lanes, unless there is an emergency in the roadway.
l
3498
Mr. Saunders also said there is a left turn lane, which will allow a vehicle to be
outside the through lanes while waiting. At median opening, there have been
adjustments which will allow for a car to be completely within the median while
waiting.
Mayor Pro -Tem Clark questioned if a median road is safer than a three -lane road
with a continuous left turn lane. Mr. Saunders replied generally speaking it is, as
elimination of a head -on collision is reduced.
Councilmember Miller implied that he hears what everyone is saying as he himself
has had to deal with the same issue when the City of Arlington widening Kelly
Perkins and Park Springs with a boulevard street. I knew everything you were going
to say when you came because I heard it. I said it. It all boils down to money. When
the road projects were discussed over the last five years, council felt it was a pie in
the sky thing and probably would never happen. County came out with program that
they would pay for half of it and that program goes for so long, and if the city does
not take advantage of it the roads will not get built. To build four lanes, boils down
to money. Once again how do you pay for it? We can assess curb and gutter fees
and we can raise taxes but we are doing all this without doing that. There is really no
choice, we either build the roads like they are designed or lose the county money and
never build any of our roads.
Councilmember Turner stated that he has listened until his ears bled, and he has
talked until he was blue in the face, but negotiations to find the best solution the city
can offer is what is being presented. I have to believe it is as close as to the right
choice we are ever going to get. I don't see it moving one direction or another. It has
been discussed by most of these guys up here and plenty of other city staff and
boards for long before I was on Council. But from the time I have been on Council it
has been something discussed endlessly with open minds. And we have gotten to a
point now that we have to move forward and make some decisions, and we are at that
point. Please do not think that this is something that was decided six months or a
year ago or the conversations last month did not mean anything. There has been a
tremendous amount of conversations over the last months dealing with this stuff
specifically.
Councilmember Johnson questioned the assumption of four lanes in 2030 and asked
if it was indeed a valid assumption. Mr. Hart indicated that traffic projections that
city relied upon for 2030 shows Little School Road does not need more than what is
being designed. Kennedale Sublett Road is still adequate for what is there, but we
did not run past 2030.
Councilmember Green addressed learning curve of round -a -bouts and reiterated the
fact that it has been proven that medians reduce head on collisions.
Furthermore, Councilmember Green spoke of inconvenience. Green indicated he and
his neighbors are inconvenienced every day as Mistletoe turns into a one way street
to help protect the safety of students at James A. Arthur Elementary. Green implied
that he must go two blocks out of his way and is required to drive through a school
zone due to the one way street that runs right in front of his house. Why is he
inconvenienced? It is due to a decision that was made from the city council as well
as the school district to keep the students safe when they exit Arthur.
3499
Mayor Pro -Tem Clark said Council has been discussing the road projects since 2005,
and every aspect has been examined including the taking of land to build the roads.
Clark indicated the charge he has is to do the best he can for the city as a whole. It is
an opportunity to get more for the town as a whole, and medians are the safest option
that we can have for the city as a whole.
Last, Mayor Lankhorst summarized the modifications to the road design, which
includes the following: a median cut every 600 feet, median cut on Little School
Road at the mid- point between the entrances to Brookstone Estates, median cut on
Sublett between Bluebonnet Lane and Kevin Miller, as well as a traffic break at the
intersection of Joy Lane. Median will be moved south of the Rod, Hoover, and Baird
properties on Little School Road to honor previous promise made several years ago.
Connect Sublet sidewalk to Steeplechase Drive. Connect Little School Road
sidewalk to Arlington sidewalk.
4. Action, if necessary
Councilmember Green moved to approve Tarrant County Bond Project Designs for
Little School Road, and Kennedale Sublett Road as modified, seconded by Mayor
Pro -Tem Clark. Motion carried unanimously (5 -0).
.I. Public hearing, review, and consider action to approve Ordinance No. 453, closing a
portion of Municipal Drive.
1. Staff Presentation
Rachel Roberts, Planner indicated that the KEDC is petitioning the City to close a
portion of Municipal Drive, and will then re -plat this portion of the roadway along
with Lot 8 into one parcel and dedicate it as public access for the TownCenter.
Next, Ms. Roberts advised that the City is negotiating with AT &T for AT &T's
portion of Municipal Drive to be included in the closure. If AT &T decides against
closing that portion of the Municipal Drive side of its property, the City would adjust
the boundaries of the section to be closed so that the AT &T portion is excluded.
Furthermore, Roberts advised notification letters were sent out to property owners
within 200 feet of the requested closing and that one comment was received in
opposition to the closure due to concerns about increased traffic along Third Street.
In closing, Roberts indicated that the Planning & Zoning Commission voted to
recommend approval of the petition, and is asking the City Council to consider
requiring landscape screening to be planted along the street side of the proposed
parking lot for Lot 2 of the Kennedale TownCenter.
2. Public Hearing
Mayor Lankhorst opened the public hearing for public comments at 8:43 p.m. There
being no persons registered to speak, Mayor Lankhorst closed the public hearing at
8:44 p.m.
3500
3. Staff Response and Summary
Councilmember Miller questioned reason for landscaping requirements as ordinances
were in place to address those issues.
Ms. Roberts indicated that the Planning & Zoning Commission was just asking for
consideration to address residents concern living adjacent to the parking area.
Legal Counsel addressed the vacation and abandonment of Municipal Drive and
explained legal differences of closing a street versus vacating a street. Mr. Olson
said when a street is closed, the city is legally vacating the street for purposes of it
being used as public right -of -way and as explained, it will be used for parking lot
purposes afterwards, in which the street will revert to the abutting property owners.
Legal Counsel also requested in motion that street vacation does not include portion
of roadway abutting AT &T property.
