vote on a $249 million bond package—the largest bond proposal in district history.

Superintendent Robin Ryan said with more than 1,300 proposed projects in the package, the bond would affect every campus and department in GCISD,

from transportation to nutrition. Ryan said the bond funds are needed because fund-

City officials discuss viability of multifamily site

Are apartments coming to Grapevine’s Palmeiro Tract?

By Sherelle BlackWhen the city of Grapevine purchased

a 185-acre tract of land, located north of Grapevine Mills, in 2013 from former Texas Rangers baseball player Rafael Palmeiro, City Manager Bruno Rumbe-low said it was with the intent of focusing

on attracting tourism and entertainment that could bring big dividends in terms of sales tax revenue.

So far the city has not been able to attract any retail or entertainment, but it has been able to close the deal with

At the Feb. 16 joint Grapevine Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council meeting, JLB Realty presented Grapevine Bluffs, a 472-unit multifamily project, for the tract. The plans were denied by both. However, city officials expect revised plans to be presented in April.

The proposed May bond package includes $33 million dedicated to rebuilding Cannon Elementary School.

Student and teacher mobile devices would be replaced, and the district’s wireless network and network cabling would be upgraded if the bond passes.

Cafeteria equipment would be replaced or added in the bond. Also, Heritage Middle School’s cafeteria would be expanded.

FROM THE EDITORBesides runoffs, the

primary elections for county, state and federal officials are over, but local city and school board elections are still to come.

Residents in the Grapevine-Colleyville ISD area will have a huge decision to make in the May 7 election—whether to pass a $249 million

bond package. One of our front-page stories takes an in-depth look at why district officials feel the bond is needed as well as some of the major projects that would be funded. This bond will determine if GCISD gets the upgrades and repairs to its aging facilities that the staff says GCISD needs. Passing the bond would most likely mean a tax increase for district residents.

Also in this issue, we provide some insight into what Colleyville residents and business owners can expect when SH 26 Phase 2—the largest transportation project in Colleyville’s history—begins this summer. Although the project will pass right through the heart of the city, Colleyville officials are adamant about con-tinuing to help businesses thrive throughout the 2 1/2-year project.

Lastly, I want to remind you National Mom and Pop Business Owners Day is March 29. If you are look-ing to support local businesses, check out our Page 9 dining feature on Dino’s Steak and Claw House or our Page 7 business feature on The Green Door Organic Salon Spa and Barber Studios.

COMMUNITY FEEDBACKTAKE THE POLL

LAST MONTH’S POLL RESULTS

Do you think the Palmeiro Tract needs a multifamily development?

Take the poll at communityimpact.com/gcs-poll.

Do you agree with the U.S. Department of Labor’s proposed rule change for overtime pay?

50% Yes

33.33% No

16.67% Don’t know enough about it

Results from an unscientific Web survey collected 2/18/16-3/8/16

The U.S. Department of Labor is expected to make a decision on extending overtime pay eligibility for full-time workers by July. If passed, the ruling would change the salary threshold for those who are exempt from receiving mandatory overtime pay. It would raise the threshold from $23,660 or more per year to $50,440 or more.

The Green Door Salon Spa and Barber StudiosColleyville stylist offers healthy alternative

C olleen Morgan, owner of The Green Door Salon Spa and Barber Studios in Colleyville,

said a goal of hers to lead customers to a healthier alternative in hair care.

Morgan, who has been in the styling business for 30 years, said she attributes some health issues she has faced to working excessively around harsh chemicals commonly found in hair care products. To counter the problem, Morgan said she decided to open her own hair salon and use organic products.

“[The health concerns] really set me on my path of looking for an alternative,” she said. “I wanted a healthier environment not only for myself and my employees, but for my clients.”

Morgan said she takes pride in the salon, offering “cutting-edge” organic hair care products.

The salon has two main product lines—O&M, a gluten-free Austra-lian line, and Oway.

Oway, she said, is “a step above organic” utilizing biodynamic—or organic—farmed ingredients, and its hair color product line “was recently voted the No. 1 ammo-nia-free hair color in a top industry publication.”

The salon offers haircuts that start at $55 and hair coloring start-ing at $75.

Morgan said all color services—including highlights—are done with organic products.

The business, Morgan said, is

also a family affair. Two of her daughters work at the salon: Tess is a barber and stylist, and Meg is an esthetician.

“They grew up in the business,” she said, adding that the opportu-nity for the family to work together is just another benefit of owning the salon located “just minutes from home.”

In addition to hair care, salon services include facials, waxing and a Sunlighten mPulse Sauna.

Morgan said the sauna is ideal for cell health and immunity, detox and skin purification.

A single session costs $40, and larger packages are available to purchase at a discounted rate.

Dr. James D. Mackey also works out of the salon and offers laser treatments. However, since he is not part of the salon operation, his hours vary, Morgan said.

Morgan said she is constantly on the lookout for the latest innovation in alternative hair care to share with her clientele and hopes to one day be “a full-service salon” and offer massages and nail care, too.

Morgan said she is a firm believer in the organic offerings she has available in-store and can attest to how beneficial changing hair prod-ucts can be for one’s hair.

“My hair has never been health-ier,” Morgan said. “The health of my hair is just incredible. There is just no comparison.”

Dance With MeNew York dance studio opens in Southlake

I n one night, guests at Dance With Me in Southlake can be taken around the world—at least that

is how the studio’s manager, Raphael Abel, said dancers will feel as they do dances such as the waltz, the cha cha, foxtrot and the East Coast swing.

Although the studio may have been founded by “Dancing With the Stars” cast members Maksim “Maks” Chmerkovskiy and Valentin “Val” Chmerkovskiy along with their father, Aleksandr, and Jhanna Volynets, the studio is not just for advanced dancers.

Abel said the New York-based dance studio teaches all types of ballroom and Latin dances in both American and international styles for couples, groups and individuals.

When Dance With Me opened in Southlake in February it became the first studio the owners opened outside of the New York City area.

“The response has been amazing,” Abel said. “Guests have said they are happy we are here and that Southlake

really needed something like this.”Abel said the difference between

Dance With Me and other studios is the quality. Although the studio is located in Texas, he said it is the same as the New York City-area studios.

“We are not a chain school, and we are not a franchise,” he said. “We are all corporately owned, and that’s the only way we make sure that the quality is there in every single studio.”

Abel said he knows each dancer comes in for various reasons, which is why lessons are individually prepared.

“Some come for social reasons—they want to belong; they want to be a part of something,” he said. “Some people come here for competitive reasons because they want a sport they can compete in. Some come here because of artistic reasons, and some come for fitness reasons because they can’t stand the gym but want to do something that keeps them active but at the same time doesn’t bore them to death. Time flies on the dance floor.”

Dino’s Steak and Claw HouseRestaurant aims to offer fresh take on steakhouse staples

G eneral Manager Tony Hasbini said at Dino’s Steak and Claw House, the focus is on pro-

viding simple, well-prepared foods; a knowledgeable staff; and a one-of-a-kind experience for the guests who come in for dinner.

The upscale restaurant offers its own takes on surf and turf dishes, steaks, seafood and poultry, all made using fresh ingredients. It also pro-vides a wine list, the option of more than 20 cocktails and several different brands of scotch.

Head Chef Brian Caal said he uses fresh ingredients to put his own twist on classic steakhouse staples as well as on seafood and chicken dishes.

The jumbo sea scallops ($13.95), one of the appetizers, features three seared scallops plated on a field of greens. Dino’s not only offers seafood and chicken dishes but red meat as well. The Cote De Boeuf ($38.95), an 18 oz. bone-in ribeye steak that is served with asparagus and a drizzle of a red wine reduction. It is made using

certified Angus beef that is grilled to ensure it has well-formed grill marks. Guests looking for lighter fare can order the sesame-crusted ahi tuna ($29.95), which is placed on a bed of pad thai noodles and vegetables and served with asparagus spears. The plate also features a swirl of red wine reduction.

Hasbini said he does not have just one favorite menu item, and he and his staff try to help prevent their guests from getting into a habit of ordering the same thing each visit.

“We do tell our guests about our dishes and try to recommend things for them,” Hasbini said.

Dino’s often plays host to corporate parties and business dinners as well as anniversary, birthday and holiday celebrations. It is also popular for romantic date nights, Hasbini said.

To enhance guests’ experience, Dino’s hosts local musicians Wednes-day through Saturday on the eatery’s black baby grand piano, which is downstairs.

Dino’s has local musicians come in Wednesday through Saturday to play on the eatery’s piano.

The building, which sits on Grape-vine’s Main Street, used to house a bank. Small touches still show the heritage of the building, including the glass blocks on the restaurant’s facade. Caal, who has been at Dino’s since it opened in 2008, said he draws inspiration from everywhere.

“We try to make things very sim-ple,” Caal said. “Simple food, and people like it.”

Caal and Hasbini, who have known each other for more than 10 years, “understand each other,” Hasbini said.

“Both of us, we have one goal: to take care of our guests, which is what we’ve been doing,” Hasbini said.

FM 1938 Phase 2 The FM 1938 Phase 2 reconstruction project in Southlake and Keller, from Randol Mill Avenue to FM 1709, continues. Construction to widen the intersection of FM 1938 and FM 1709 is progressing as crews install curb and gutters on the outside sections of the intersection and reconstruct access driveways. North of the intersection, concrete paving continues on sections of FM 1938 and on some of the side streets that connect to FM 1938. The 1.6-mile project is widening the roadway to two lanes in each direction with raised medians and includes dual left-turn bays in all directions at the intersection of FM 1938 and FM 1709.

Brumlow AvenueThe city of Southlake, along with Tarrant County, is making progress on widening Brumlow Avenue from just north of SH 26 to north of Westwood Antiques. Franchise utilities from Southlake Storage north to Alpine Materials will need to be moved as to not conflict with the work on the west side of Brumlow, and that will happen in March. Once that is done, work on the west side of Brumlow will continue. When complete the project will widen approximately 1,400 linear feet of Brumlow by expanding that segment of the existing road into four divided lanes. The expansion of this segment of Brumlow is necessary to accommodate proposed changes to traffic patterns in Southlake. In addition to widening the existing street, the project will include relocating city hydrants and water meters. There will also be trees planted on the west side of the road to improve the aesthetics.

Colleyville launches outreach planCity prepares for the largest road project in its history

TRANSPORTATION

By Sherelle BlackWith the first phase of the SH 26

reconstruction project finished, in March the city of Colleyville began implementing a community outreach plan for Phase 2, which will be the largest road project in city history.

Phase 2, reaching from John McCain Road to Brown Trail, is expected to begin in the spring. The Texas Department of Transportation will widen the remaining 3 1/2-mile stretch of roadway to three lanes in each direction with a raised curbed median and a dedicated turn lane.

Although Phase 1 did not have an action plan, SH 26 Project Coordina-tor for the city of Colleyville, James Hubbard, said because Phase 2 will run through an area in the city where most of the city’s retail and enter-tainment is located, an action plan is needed to help businesses transition and survive the construction.

“This portion of the project will impact many more businesses than Phase 1,” he said. “So we really wanted

to have a dedicated staff resource to kind of serve as that liaison between TxDOT and the contractor and the businesses. We are going to do as much as we can to help.”

City staff said the action plan was formed after doing significant research on similar state-led projects and includes more communication and outreach than the first phase of construction.

The new plan includes 29 initiatives in three main components: communi-cation, mobility and business support.

“One of the initiatives in the com-munication component is utilizing a text-message alert system,” he said. “We are still in the process of rolling out that system, but that’s something that is new—we have never offered that on any of the [transportation] projects before. The system will be subscription-based.”

Hubbard said he will not only be distributing information to the busi-nesses fronting SH 26, but to residents as well.

“I am going to reach out to estab-lished, local clubs and organizations here in Colleyville and take infor-mation to them,” he said. “So that will include all of the homeowner associations as well as organizations like the Garden Club, Keep Colleyville Beautiful, Colleyville Woman’s Club, Lions Club and others.”

Other initiatives include weekly city staff meetings with TxDOT and the contractors; regular city meetings with business owners and employees; and a dedicated, continuously updated website—www.sh26project.com.

Mobility initiatives include spe-cial signage for business driveways obscured by construction and banners and vehicle magnets for city vehicles encouraging shopping locally.

Drivers are being encouraged to not take detours off SH 26 during construction because the city wants to encourage residents to continue supporting local businesses.

City staff estimates the 2 1/2-year plan will cost $36,350 to implement.

Phase 2 road construction will cost an estimated $33.5 million.

Meetings

Primary runoff election scheduled for Tarrant County sheriff

Grapevine firefighters hired and promoted

Southlake citizen survey results released

TARRANT COUNTY A primary runoff election for the Republican nomination for Tarrant County sheriff will be held May 24, as no candidate received more than 50 percent of the total votes in the March 1 primary.

The winner of the runoff will win the sheriff seat as there is no Demo-cratic nomination.

Incumbent Dee Anderson was the closest to winning with 48.59 percent of the vote, or 83,400 votes, followed by challenger Bill E. Waybourn with

40.67 percent, or 69,801 votes.John Garris, a Tarrant County jailer

who suspended his campaign for sher-iff in early February, received 10.74 percent or 18,426 votes.

“I can’t begin to explain how humbling it is to know that more than 83,000 voters took their time and effort to mark my name on their ballot,” Anderson said March 2.

Anderson is a native of Tarrant County and has held multiple posi-tions with the Arlington Police

Department. Anderson co-founded Amber Alert, a cooperative effort between law enforcement and the media to instantly alert the public of a suspected child abduction. Anderson is seeking his fifth and final term.

Waybourn, a former Dalworthing-ton Gardens police chief for 31 years, ran against Anderson in the GOP primary in 2008.

“I am humbled by the outpouring of support and encouragement that we have received,” Waybourn said March

3. “However, our mission continues, and our excitement is building for this runoff. We will continue to fight for what is right; and I would simply ask each of you to continue to do what you have been doing on our behalf.”

GRAPEVINE Members of the Grapevine Fire Department gathered at Firehouse 1 on March 7 for a pro-motion and swearing-in ceremony.Promoted were engineer Russell Chambers to captain, and firefighters/paramedics Michael Butschek, David Dunn and Brad Feldpausch to driver engineer.

Due to retirements over the last year, 10 new firefighters were sworn in. The new firefighters/paramed-ics are Richard Adkins, William Fergeson, Evin Garrett, Michael Howard, Daniel Malone, Brennan Palmer and Joshua Schmidt. The new firefighters/emergency medical techni-cians are Michael Angell, Christopher Holmes and Kollin Mata.

Each of these men went through several tests and interviews prior to being invited to join the Grapevine Fire Department.

SOUTHLAKE Every two years, the city of Southlake conducts a citizen survey to measure resi-dents’ satisfaction levels with city services and to gather opinions on specific policy questions.

From October to December, 673 residents completed the sur-vey. Results were released to the public in March.

“This our eighth survey, and we are always appreciative of the thoughtful and honest feedback,” City Manager Shana Yelverton said in a news release. “The results

are put to work by the council and city staff to refine our depart-ment work plans and plan for the future. What we learn and then put into action is an important part of our business strategy.”

Many residents said they were satisfied with the city’s standards of safety and security, with 88 percent of respondents saying it is either very good or excellent.

Many said construction-related traffic congestion was a problem.

The results and data were com-piled by Decision Analyst.

Grapevine’s housing mix*

the commission and city council in April.

Multifamily trendRumbelow said the city

is still trying to attract retail to the Palmeiro tract and thinks a residential component would help.

“We want to attract [retail], but we need to make sure there is enough daytime and nighttime density to support those uses,” he said. “I think [a residential component] would be helpful for sure. I think [if you look at] the way that other develop-ments have developed in the [Dallas-Fort Worth] Metroplex—that have happened on large par-cels—you can see more evidence of that.”

In January Grapevine city staff and City Council received a report on the role of multifamily devel-opment as it related to the city’s remaining unde-veloped tracts.

The report says that regional growth along with shifting urban living preferences by millennials and baby boomers has created a need for quality multifamily developments in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Corporations looking to relocate to the area are increas-ingly looking at tracts that con-tain mixed-use developments, according to the report.

Mixed-use developments include elements of office space, retail and housing—such as Legacy West in Plano (future home of Liberty Mutual) and CityLine in Rich-ardson (home of State Farm).

The report says that multi-family would be a good fit for a development when a com-bination of factors are met, including: quality construction; a site design that anticipates complementary adjacent uses; connectivity; and anticipation of redevelopment in future generations.

The report states, “For Grapevine, multifamily contex-tually designed and constructed can provide opportunities to remain competitive in the cor-porate and retail markets as the

PalmeiroContinued from | 1

Kubota Tractor Corp. for a new headquarters and with Mercedes-Benz for a parts distribution center and a training facility.

The conversation among city officials and developers is now shifting to what are the best types of development to sur-round these commitments— including potential multifamily housing after a developer pre-sented a plan for a multifamily community on the property.

“We have been focusing—from an economic develop-ment perspective—for years on hospitality, entertainment and retail in Grapevine,” Rumbe-low said. “However, you can’t look at a large tract like this and think you can occupy every square foot of land with just those uses.”

Plans for multifamily unitsBefore the city purchased

the Palmeiro tract, JLB Realty, a development company based in Dallas, contracted with Palmeiro in 2012 for the sale of 13 acres on the tract to develop a multifamily project. When the city purchased the land it assumed the JLB purchase and sale contract.

JLB has developed two multi-family communities in the city —StoneLedge and Terrawood.

At the Feb. 16 joint Grape-vine Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council meeting, JLB presented Grape-vine Bluffs, a 472-unit multi-family project, for the tract.

JLB came before P&Z ask-ing for variances to several city standards, including the amount of recreational open space, building height, build-ing separation, density and off-street parking.

The development was denied by P&Z with a 6-1 vote, and unanimously by City Council.

Both entities said they think developers could do a better job in terms of the design and lay-out. P&Z also listed concerns with parking, lack of amenities and size of the community and the units.

Rumbelow said the project is expected to come back before

remaining undeveloped parcels are assessed for the highest and best use. Properly understood, the role of multifamily can play an important role in a sustain-able future for the city.”

Need for rooftopsCouncil Member Chris Coy

said he thinks the area near the Palmeiro tract is saturated with apartments.

“I believe we have a nice, clean plot of land that the city owns that we can do some really creative and interesting things with, so I guess I’m not ready to throw in the towel and build something that is comparable to what’s already across the street where we already have a large number of apartments already in the area,” he said.

Coy said within a mile of the Palmeiro tract there are nearly 2,000 apartment units in Grapevine and Flower Mound.

Council Member Darlene Freed said the apartments near the tract are near lease capacity, so therefore “looking at the numbers without look-ing at demand is only half of the story.”

She said rooftops are needed to help attract retail.

“There have been times before where a lack of roof-tops—because of the airport being there—makes it difficult to get some of these retailers,” she said. “Grocery stores have a hard time looking at going into that part of town because there’s not enough rooftops.”

Grapevine Economic Devel-opment Director Bob Farley said Grapevine Bluffs would help support some of the hous-ing demand that will come from Kubota and Mercedes-Benz.

“It’ll probably be a mix [of people] at the end of the day that lives there, if it is passed,” he said. “This area is 20 miles from all of the major nodes of activity in the Metroplex, so, therefore, it’s going to appeal to people who want to be centrally located because of where they are going to work or perhaps

they are leaving out of [Dal-las/Fort Worth International] Airport and need immediate access to the airport.”

Coy said the city’s multi-family units make up about 37 percent of the city’s housing—a ratio he said is high compared to surrounding suburbs.

“It seems to me that our general mix of housing stock already puts us in a place where we pretty much have some-thing for anybody that wants to live here. It’s a popular place to live, and there is obviously more people moving in, but I think we would like to maintain that balance we have in terms of multifamily versus other housing options.”

Our fl eet of ceramic grills is designed to fi t everyone’s outdoor cooking needs. From our fl agship Jack Daniel’s Edition Oval XL 400 to our classic round Kamado. Every Primo grill is made to be a primary outdoor cooker, but any of them can be added to a built-in outdoor kitchen or to complement an existing grill or smoker. To give you an idea of the size of our grills and cooking area, we’ve rated them based on the number of steaks that can be grilled at one time.
