Council approves amendment to Chisholm Summit development agreement, adds fire station land and codifies sewer responsibilities
Summary
The council approved changes to the Chisholm Summit Chapter 380 agreement that update ownership exhibits, shift park maintenance to an HOA while city funds capital improvements, expand the future public safety site from 3 to 8 acres, and clarify sewer impact fees and lift‑station cost sharing and timelines.
The Burleson City Council on April 21 approved an amendment to the Chisholm Summit Chapter 380 economic development and performance agreement with RA Development, staff said.
Deputy City Manager Eric Oskerson summarized the revisions, saying the amendment updates property ownership exhibits, moves day‑to‑day park maintenance from the public improvement district to the homeowners association while leaving capital improvements to the city when funds are available, and expands the planned public safety site for a future fire station from 3 acres to 8 acres on the west side of the development. “Chisholm Summit is approximately 807 acres of master planned community,” Oskerson said, listing an estimated 3,000 residential units and more than 100 acres of dedicated parkland.
The amendment also clarifies utilities and construction responsibilities. Staff said the city will manage construction of certain sewer improvements and that RA Development will pay sewer impact fees to both the City of Burleson and Fort Worth as required; engineering and cost‑sharing language was updated for a Chisholm Summit West lift station. Oskerson said the agreement sets a design target of 2026 and construction by 2028 for infrastructure tied to the project.
Council discussion focused on preserving usable parkland, right‑of‑way dedications for future roads and the city’s role on capital improvements. Oskerson said new language limits the city’s obligation to available funding but establishes the process for capital participation when money exists.
A motion to approve the amendment was made, seconded and passed unanimously. The amendment was presented as CSO number 1775‑06‑2021 in council materials.
Next steps: staff will proceed with the revised annexation and infrastructure schedule and incorporate the project’s water and sewer components into future capital improvement plans.
