12, 2021 meeting, staff is proposing to prohibit parking, stopping, and standing during morning drop off and
Page I 4
afternoon pickup times in the Southplace Estates Phase 1 Subdivision. The summary of proposed changes include:
north side of Cloudcroft Drive from South Ballard Avenue east to the point of intersection with the private drive of
101 Cloudcroft (approximately 115 feet), in effect between the hours of 6:30a - 8:30a and 2:30p-4:30p Monday I
thru Friday, and south side of Cloudcroft Drive from South Ballard Avenue east to the point of intersection with
Aspen Lane (approximately 245 feet), in effect between the hours of 6:30a- 8:30a and 2:30p-4:30p Monday thru
Friday.
Council Comments
Mayor pro tem Forrester asked how the parents would be notified of this change. 011ie replied that the City can
work with the school district and would post signage along the street. Forrester expressed concern with not having
the parking,stopping, standing further down Cloudcroft in front of residence homes and driveways. Forrester stated
with what is being proposed, the City is not achieving what the citizens were looking for by keeping people from
parking in front of their homes while waiting for their kids. 011ie replied, if that is the goal,the only way to achieve
that would be to do parking permits for residents like Cimarron Estates.Porter shared the same concern as Forrester.
Strang stated he drove through this area around 3:00 and noticed parents also parking on the Atmos easement and
was unsure if anything could be done about that. Strang, Wallis, and Mize shared their concerns for the safety of
the kids walking in between the parked cars. 011ie asked how far Council would want to restrict parking, stopping,
and standing. Porter proposed prohibiting it for the entire neighborhood and requiring a permitting process for the
residents similar to Cimarron Estates. Councilmen Strang,Duke,and Wallis agreed. Councilman Williams asked if
a blanket ordinance could be completed with no parking, stopping, and standing within a specified radius of every
school. Henderson replied the problem with having an ordinance such as that would be that it would be hard to
enforce without proper signage,and it would be difficult for parents to gauge the distance from the school.Williams
stated he does not want to make things too complicated so if this Ordinance solves the issue he is okay with that.
Wallis and Strang stated looking at a radius from schools might be beneficial in areas where there are known issues,
as well as posting one sign at the entrance of the neighborhood. Councilman Mize stated he would prefer to address
issues as they arise on a school by school basis instead of a blanket ordinance, and added that maybe restricting
parking, stopping, and standing three blocks down to Taos would be a good starting point.

WORK SESSION
Mayor Porter convened the Council into Work Session at 8:10 p.m.
WS1. Discuss Stone Road Improvements.
Mayor Porter stated the City had a partnership with the County to do work on Stone Road due to the poor condition
it was in. Since then, the County has done a chip and seal process on the road and citizens are not happy with the
general condition of the roadway after the work has been completed. The County is not willing to do anything
additional than the chip and seal unless the City wants to: 1)take ownership of the roadway and the County possibly
pay a little to the City when it is turned over, or 2) wait until both entities gather the funding for a concrete road
with installed curb and gutter which would require right of way acquisition from property owners.
Public Works Director Porter addressed Council stating the County has reached out to a consulting engineer to put
together a preliminary engineering report that outlines three options for future rehab on the road. Option 1 is
replacing the asphalt with new asphalt from WA Allen to Bennett Road with a cost of about $3.5 mm; Option 2 is
replacing the asphalt road with a wider asphalt road with shoulders and drainage work from WA Allen to Bennett
Road with a cost of about $8.4 mm; and Option 3 is replacing the existing asphalt road with a three lane concrete
road, including curb and gutter, drainage, and sidewalks with a cost of about $13.7 mm. Options 2 and 3 would
require ROW acquisition of about 10 feet on each side of the road.
Public Works Director Porter explained the backstory for the work completed on this roadway. Public Works
Director stated he reached out to the City's contractor for a cost for them to do the work, and the combined total is
$818,000,which is without doing a Geotechnical study. Porter stated he feels like a Geotechnical study needs to be
done on intervals down the road before more work is completed. Mayor Porter asked how much a Geotechnical
Study would cost, and how long would it take to be completed. Public Works Director replied about $50,000-
$75,000 for a Geotechnical Study and he cannot report on how long it would take to do a study without talking to •
a firm.
Council direction was to move forward with a firm to get a Geotechnical Study completed and to work with the
County to try to seek some reimbursement of the cost of the study.
