RESPONSE TO PROPOSAL TO PROHIBIT PUBLIC ACCESS TO THE WINNWOOD/BELLBROOK/CELESTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD The staff has been asked to evaluate a request from the Bellbrook/Winnwood/Celestial residents
to restrict access by the public to their neighborhood. The proposal would involve putting gates at Winnwood Road/Belt Line Road, and at Montfort Drive/Celestial Road. These gates would
prohibit vehicular access to the general public. The residents have not indicated what type of gating system would be used, but the staff understands that the proposal is for a mechanical
device that provides access only to authorized vehicles, not for a "manned" gate. STREETS The staff first consulted with the city's attorneys to find out if the streets could be gated
and still remain public streets. The attorneys' opinion (memo attached) is that: 1. Access to public parks cannot be denied; 2. Access to churches cannot be denied; and 3. Public streets
cannot be gated. Therefore, in order to prevent the general public from being able to drive on the streets in this neighborhood, the residents would have to purchase, or otherwise obtain,
the streets and parks in this neighborhood from the city. The attorneys advise that the streets could be "privatized" under the following conditions: 1. All of the landowners abutting
the streets should petition the city for the streets to be closed. 2. Upon the consent of 100% of the abutting landowners, the City and the landowners should enter into a contract in
which the City would agree, for some amount to be determined, (typically it is fair market value) to convey to the landowners its interest in the streets, including the installed infrastructure.
The staff does not have an accurate estimate for the fair market value of the streets.
Page 2 3. The City should require that the abutting landowners create a property owners association to maintain the streets and other public infrastructure according to City standards.
Standards for the association should be adopted by the City, including the requirement that the association establish a reserve fund to maintain the streets and that the property owners
and the association agree to indemnify the City. PARKS The attorneys' opinion did not address the parks, but the staff believes that if public access to the parks is denied, they also
must be purchased. State law and city charter provide that public park land cannot be sold without approval of the city's voters through an election. In addition, the Winnwood Park was
purchased with Texas Land and Water Conservation funds. The staff believes that this land cannot be removed from the public domain because it was bought with state funds. However, if
the Winnwood Park could be sold, and if the voters approved the sale of the parks, they could then be purchased by the neighborhood. The Parks Department has furnished an estimate of
the value of the Parks (memo attached). The city has spent approximately $1,457,086 for improvements to the parks in the Winnwood/Bellbrook/Celestial neighborhood. The Parks Department
has estimated a fair market value of $5.00 per square foot for the park land, which would mean that it would cost $2,831,400 to acquire the park land. Therefore, the cost to purchase
the parks (land + improvements) would be approximately $4,288,486. In addition, the city spends $98,000. per year to maintain the parks which are contained in the neighborhood. The residents
might not maintain the parks to the same standard as the city, but a property owners' association which would be established to maintain the streets should also be prepared to maintain
the parks. ACCESS TO WHITE ROCK CREEK CHURCH The attorneys expressed the opinion that access to a church cannot be restricted. The church would have to be willing to move to another
location, and and a private owner would have to buy the church property.
Page 3 LOCATION OF GATES The Public Works Department has evaluated the site design challenges that would have to be accommodated in order to gate the neighborhood (memo attached). The
Director notes: 1. The gates should be located a sufficient distance from Belt Line and Montfort to avoid any stacking into the major streets. Staff recommends a minimum distance of
100 feet to the access box. 2. Sufficient room should be provided to turn around the largest vehicle expected on the street. This could be a circular or hammerhead-styled turn-around.
Staff believes that there is not room in the public rights-of-way to accommodate the gate locations and required turn-around space. Therefore, a private property owner would have to
give up some of his property to make room for the gate installation. The staff has researched the best way to provide emergency vehicle access into gated communities, and believes it
has found a satisfactory system. The city would require the neighborhood to purchase and install the AMTECH AMTECH "toll tag" system on all entry gates (specifications attached). However,
there still needs to be system to provide non-emergency access to other neighborhood vendors such as Cable TV, TU Electric, Lone Star Gas, Dallas utilities, Southwestern Bell, yard services,
cleaning services, pool services, UPS, FED-EX, and other deliveries such as furniture, appliances, etc. There also needs to be a satisfactory system to allow entrance for visitors and
guests of the residents. Staff has seen installations where a guest dialed a resident's phone number and appeared on a TV screen in the resident's home. This type of system works for
small, densely-developed properties, but the staff believes it would be fairly expensive to install in a large-lot neighborhood such as this one. FIRE DEPARTMENT CONCERNS The Fire Department
will have access to the neighborhood through the "toll-tag" system. However, the Department has expressed a concern that any gate or access-restricting device will hamper its ability
to respond respond to an emergency situation.
Page 4 POLICE DEPARTMENT CONCERNS The Police Department has also expressed a concern about the slowing of response times (memo attached). However, it has an additional concern. The Police
patrolmen will continue to regularly patrol the neighborhood as they do now, but they will not have the ability to enforce traffic violations in a private street neighborhood. Parking,
stopping, speeding, and other city ordinance traffic violations can only be enforced on public streets. ALTERNATE PROPOSAL FOR GATES Staff understands that there is also a proposal to
gate only Winnwood Lane at the north and south ends and Bellbrook Drive to the north of Celestial Park. This gating scheme would reduce the cost for acquiring parks and streets because
Celestial Road and Celestial Park would still be accessible to the public. There would still be the cost for acquiring Winnwood Road, all the streets in Bellbrook Estates, and Winnwood
Park. In addition, the yearly maintenance costs, though lower, would still have to be paid through an association. The staff also believes that the city should get the consent of all
the residents on Celestial Road before taking away their ability to access Belt Line via Winnwood Road. SUMMARY The staff believes that if the Council consented to sell the Parks and
Streets in this area back to the residents, they would be able to privatize these elements and gate their neighborhood. and prohibit vehicular access by the public. Staff does not have
very accurate estimates for the costs associated with "privatizing" the area. It believes that there would be a huge "per household" cost to purchase the streets and parks and install
the gates. There would then be a substantial yearly cost to provide for maintenance of the streets, parks, and gating system. If the residents would like to pursue gating the neighborhood,
the staff can further research the costs for acquiring and maintaining the streets, and find examples of homeowners' association documents that outline the terms for the maintenance
and indemnification of the city.
To: From: Date: Re: MEMORANDUM Carmen Moran Ken Dippel and John Hill August 4, 1995 Gated Communities You have asked us to address the issue of gating the Bellbrook community. The legal
impediments to gating that community are as follows: 1. Access to public parks cannot be denied; 2. Access to churches cannot be denied; and 3. Public streets cannot be gated. If the
gates can be placed in such a position as to permit the public parks and the churches to have free access, then other streets within the Bellbrook community can be gated in accordance
with the following: 1. All of the landowners abutting the street should petition the City for the streets to be closed. 2. Upon the consent of 100% of the abutting landowners, the City
and the landowners should enter into a contract in which the City would agree, for some amount to be determined (plano requires the fair market value), to convey to the landowners its
interest in the streets, including the installed infrastructure (streets, water and sewer pipes, easements, etc.). 3. The City should require that the abutting landowners create a property
owners association (subject to approval by the City Attorney) to maintain the streets and other public infrastructure according to City standards. Standards for the association similar
to what the City of Plano requires should be adopted by the City, inclUding the requirement that the association establish a reserve fund to maintain the streets and that the property
owners and the association agree to indemnify the City. Should you have any questions or desire any additional information, please let us know.

TOWN OF ADDISON SPECIFICATIONS FOR EMERGENCY ACCESS TO LIMITED-ACCESS COMMuNITIES The Town of Addison seeks to provide the best possible emergency services to all residents. We want
to insure that residents in limited-access communities receive the same speed of emergency response as all other residents. Toward that goal, the Town has chosen an emergency access
system that must be installed in all limited-access communities. The specifications for the system required by the city are as follows: An AMTECH A1601 SmartPass Reader/Controller, with
stand alone software, shall be installed at each entry driveway. The reader shall be located so that it can read the signal emitted by an AMTECH AT5103 Battery powered vehicle tag (which
has been installed on city emergency vehicles) as soon as the vehicle enters the driveway. The city will furnish the developer with a list of city-authorized tag numbers which shall
be loaded into the reader/controller. The reader/controller must be maintained by the property owner or or manager. Each pair of electrically-operated drive gates shall have a KNOX BOX
installed no further than five feet from the gate, at a height of approximately five feet above the ground. This panel or box shall be painted bright red and labeled "FIRE DEPT." Each
of these panels or boxes shall be locked with a KNOX pad lock operated by a KNOX PL-1 SUB KEY. There shall be a 2-position toggle switch inside each panel or box, that when moved to
the "open" position, will cause the drive gate to open and lock open. The gate system shall be designed so that the drive gate will not close until the switch is manually returned to
the "normal" position. Each pair of electrically-operated drive gates shall be engineered so as to be "fail safe." The gates must automatically open in the event of a power failure.
The AMTECH reader/controller can be purchased from the following dealers: Associated Time 1545 Prudential Drive Dallas, TX 75235 (214) 637-2763 Gyco Security Sales 2816 White Oak Drive

POLICE DEPARTMENT (214) 450-7100 MEMORANDUM To: Subject: Carmen Moran City Secretary Gated Communities From: Date: James 􀁍􀁣􀁌􀁡􀁵􀁧􀁨􀁬􀁩􀁮􀀬􀁾 Chief of Police 􀁾 August 23, 1995 In
response to your questions regarding the Police Department's concerns about gated communities, the following observations are made. Gated communities, as we understand them, will be
private property with the residents or some other entity(s) owning and maintaining the streets. As the streets would be private, the Department would be unable to enforce most traffic
laws and ordinances such as speeding, parking issues, etc. We would patrol the gated communities provided we had reasonable access to the area. Our enforcement would be limited to criminal
matters. If gating an area is for security reasons, then to be effective the gates must be operational 24 hours a day. Also, pedestrian traffic would need to be controlled. If parks
are included in the gated community and become private property, city ordinances for the most part would not apply from the Police Department's standpoint. We would work with the owners/agent
of the park on trespass issues to reduce problems with uninvited visitors to the private parks. In conclusion, gated communities, if we have quick and easy entry, will not necessarily
pose problems for the Department other than the areas noted above. If you have any questions please give me a call. IM/af JM9611
GATED COMMUNITY SURVEY Arlington: Some gated residential/apartment areas. They are considered private streets and are not maintained by the city. Police access these areas by key pad.
If no key pad, they use a pass card or a call box, but in these cases there must be an alternate way to open the gates. The fire department also uses a key pad. In some cases, the fire
department uses a Knox box. No ordinance concerning the gated communities. They are addressed in the Uniform Fire Code (attached). Carrollton: Some gated residential/apartment areas.
Police access the gates with magnetic key cards. The fire department is always accompanied by the police so they access the gates in the same way. Coppell: No gated residential/apartment
areas. They do have one house that is gated. One area is being completed with a guard shack and possible gate. Dallas: North Central Substation -has gated residential/apartment areas.
Dispatch has a record at the station of the codes for each gate. The pad number is sent to the officer when there is a call at a gated area. Some of the beat officers keep the numbers
in their note pads. Other complexes use an overriding pad number which corresponds to the street address of the police substation. They have budgeted next year for "Opticoms" for patrol
cars. Northeast Central Substation -has gated apartment complexes. Each squad car had an "Opticom" device which opens the gates. The fire department accesses the areas in the same manner
as the police department. Duncanville: Has an ordinance against gated communities. Farmers Branch: c:\kar\9512 Two apartment complexes are gated. One of the complexes leaves the gates
open all the time. The other complex is sporadic, the gate is
sometimes open and sometimes closed. The police department accesses the gates through key pads. They have an understanding with the apartments that if they cannot, for any reason, get
the gate open or closed, the apartments are liable. The fire department accesses the areas by using a Knox box. They have no ordinance concerning gated communities. Richardson: A few
apartment complexes are gated. No residential areas are gated. Officers access the apartment complexes with a key pad. The fire department also accesses these areas with a key pad. They
have no ordinance concerning gated communities. Toll Tag System: Opticom: c:\kar\9512 Amtek -At least three developments use the toll tag system at this time; The Enclave in Plano, The
Cliffs-Glen Eagles, and Rancho Mirado in Dallas. Cost for the system is: $ 3,000 -reader 500+ -controller 30/ea -tag/cards Vendors for the system are: Associated Time Regency Security
Access Control Technology Dallas Security Systems The toll tag system can be set up to allow city personnel access. It can also record the time and date of entry. There needs to be a
backup system like a Knox box available in the event of toll tag failure. Fire Department will furnish information.
