RESOLUTION EXPRESSING CONCERN OF THE BOARD OF ALDER-
MEN AND APPROVING A STATEMENT OF GENERAL INTENT
ABOUT ACCESS TO KELL BOULEVARD (PROPOSED KELL FREE-
WAY) FRONTAGE ROADS BETWEEN FAIRWAY BOULEVARD AND
SEYMOUR HIGHWAY AND TO KELL BOULEVARD (PROPOSED
KELL FREEWAY) NORTH FRONTAGE ROAD BETWEEN KEMP
BOULEVARD AND FAIRWAY BOULEVARD.
WHEREAS, the public safety and welfare could be affected
by the heavy volume of traffic on Kell Boulevard (proposed Kell
Freeway) frontage roads being impeded by traffic entering
these frontage roads from a potentially large number of curb
cuts and driveway openings; and,
WHEREAS, the Board of Aldermen wished to provide a
statement of general intent to the City staff, developers and
owners of properties abutting these frontage roads concerning
access.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN
OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, THAT:
SECTION 1. The City staff and developers and/or owners
of property abutting the Kell Boulevard (proposed Kell Freeway)
north frontage road from Kemp Boulevard to Fairway Boulevard
and Kell Boulevard (proposed Kell Freeway) north and south
frontage roads from Fairway Boulevard to Seymour Highway
be requested to thoroughly consider limiting access points to
the frontage roads by such alternate access methods as other
public streets, intersecting streets and parallel access
streets.
SECTION 2. With regard to tracts which have been hereto-
fore subdivided (whether or not such subdivision was by a
map or plat approved in accordance with Article 974a, Revised
Civil Statutes of Texas) , whenever it is possible to do so
on the basis of legal limitations imposed at the time of
acquisition of right-of-way for the proposed Kell Freeway,
all such tracts which previously abutted and had access to
City streets other than the frontage roads described in
Section 1, shall be denied access to such frontage roads.
SECTION 3. The City staff shall work toward mutually
agreeable solutions with developers and/or owners of abutting
properties to implement this statement of general interest.
SECTION 4. The Board of Aldermen shall be informed
of any potential developments which could significantly
impact the number of curb cuts and driveway openings into
such frontage roads.
SECTION 5. This statement of general intent shall be
effective until the main lanes of proposed Kell Freeway are
constructed and opened to the public on a street segment by
street segment basis.
PASSED AND APPROVED this the 7th day of June, 1977.
