Title
Consider approving Resolution No. 2016-089 authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with the City of Lewisville regarding future payment for the construction of Huffines Road as part of the Special Use Zoning Application for the expansion of Camelot Landfill; and take appropriate action.
Body
BACKGROUND:
The City of Farmers Branch owns the Camelot Landfill located in the city of Lewisville, Texas. The site was permitted in 1979 and the City of Lewisville annexed Camelot Landfill and the surrounding property in 1987.
In March 2012, the City of Farmers Branch submitted an application to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to amend the municipal solid waste disposal permit for Camelot Landfill to increase the disposal capacity of the facility. In the 2015 Texas Legislative Session the Texas Legislature passed HB-281 prohibiting the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) from approving the amendment application for Camelot Landfill without the approval of the City of Lewisville. As a result the City of Farmers Branch and the City of Lewisville developed an agreement of items to be resolved to obtain the approval of the City of Lewisville.
One the steps the City of Farmers Branch agreed to take was to submit a zoning application request to the City of Lewisville. In addition Farmers Branch agreed to dedicate right-of-way for the future Corporate Drive that will be constructed east-west along the future northern permit boundary of Camelot Landfill. Once constructed, Corporate Drive will separate land currently owned by Farmers Branch and used for landfill operations in to two separate tracts. The northern panhandle piece of land on which the current scalehouse is located will be unnecessary for landfill operations. The City of Lewisville will require the construction of the remainder of Huffines Road from its current southern terminus located at the northern end of property owned by Farmers Branch on which the current scalehouse is located southward to future Corporate Drive. The Huffines Road construction will not occur until 2020 or later. However, one of the requirements of the City of Lewisville Development ordinance is that all contiguous property must be platted simultaneously and money must be escrowed for the construction of the future Huffines Road extension at the time the plat is submitted.
DISCUSSION:
This resolution authorizes the City Manager to execute a public improvement deferral agreement with the City of Lewisville relating to the future extension of Huffines Road rather than funding the construction upon submittal of the plat to the City of Lewisville.
RECOMMENDATION:
City Administration recommends adopting Resolution No. 2016-089 authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with the City of Lewisville for future payment for the construction of Huffines Road related to the Camelot Landfill expansion zoning application.
