municipality is addressing and imple- menting HB 14, including if a city is introducing new or increased fees. A reminder that, due to HB 3492 becoming effective law in September, municipalities and counties are pro- hibited from considering the cost of constructing or improving the public infrastructure for a subdivision, lot, or related property development in determining the amount of the fees for the review and processing of the applicable engineering plans, as well as the inspection of the infrastructure improvement. This also means that, if a munici- pality is assessing a fee related to the aforementioned HB 14, and it is doing so on a percentage of the cost of the project that includes the scope of work defined under HB 3492, then it is in conflict with HB 3492. Also, effective as of September 2023 are the provisions of HB 3699. Along with language correction, re- moving the defined term “plan from the chapter that addressed the 30-day “shot clock” timeline for plat approval, the legislation protects against un- needed platting and land dedication. No longer required is the need to plat if streets, alleys, squares, parks, and other parts of the tracts are not intended by the owner of the tract to be dedicated to public use. HB 3699 also prohibits a city from requiring the dedication of land within a subdivision for a future street or alley that is: 1) not intended by the owner of the tract; and 2) not included, funded, and approved in a capital improvement plan adopted by the city, or a similar plan adopted by the county in which the city is located, or the state. It is these plat and dedica- tion related provisions that developers
must be provided when a qualified tree is planted. Specifically, a planted tree must be at least two inches in diameter (4.5 feet above ground) and the municipal - ity can specify the species and method for replanting. The tree may be planted either on the property or in another location mutually agreed upon. Ad- ditionally, a municipality may not prohibit the removal of a tree that is diseased, dead or poses an immediate threat to persons or property. Builders and developers should keep this statute in mind as they face the challenges of tree and landscaping ordinances in various municipalities. Election season does not end on March 5. As we reach the end of the first part of the primary election season, it is important to keep in mind that there will likely be runoff elections for mul - tiple Texas Legislature seats, as well as key Congressional seats affecting the Dallas BA service area. This will be followed by multiple city council races in the spring. A key tool in the Association’s advocacy toolbox is HOMEPAC of Greater Dal- las, the non-partisan political action committee. For more information, members can visit https://dallasbuilders.org/ advocacy/ or contact the Director of Government Affairs .
Dallas BA asks that if a member has a project facing plat and land dedications that seem to not be in line with HB 3699, to please bring it to our attention. One item that has come up again is the enforcement, and significant cost, of landscaping and tree ordi- nances. The ordinances used by many cities come with tree preservation, prescribed tree planting and fee-in- lieu provisions. The enforcement of which can cause headaches for the project owner, as well as contractors and surveyors alike. In 2017, during the special ses- sion of the 85th Legislature, new pro- tections were provided under Chapter 212 of the Texas Local Government Code relating to the municipal regula- tion of the removal of trees on private property. The legislation was a priority of the Dallas BA and involved the hard work of advocacy staff of both Dallas BA and TAB. The statute requires munici - palities to apply a credit of at least 50 percent (40 percent for commercial projects) of the fee assessed for remov - ing a tree on a residential development if the property owner plants a qualified tree. For homes that are a personal residence, a fee may not be assessed to remove a tree less than 10 inches in diameter, and a 100 percent credit
always be done by somebody. — it will be done by somebody or other — If wise men decline it, others will not; if honest men refuse it, others will not.” - John Adams in letter to Thomas Boylston Adams, 2 September 1789 Members should remain aware of new laws intended to help land development. Builders and developers are en - couraged to contact the Dallas Build- ers Association regarding municipal responses to state law that became effective in September, as a result of legislation that was approved during the 88th state legislative session. As the recently effective statutes come into play, there could be some growing pains as municipalities be- gin to interpret how to enforce them. Dallas BA has already had questions brought to us from members. There were multiple bills in the 88th session related to land devel - opment. House Bill 14 (HB 14) is intended to streamline the approval process for property development and building reviews by allowing qualified third parties to review development documents and conduct inspections, helping achieve timely responses to reviews and inspections. The third- party option is triggered when the local authority does not approve, disapprove, or conditionally approve the development documents within 15 days after the date prescribed by law. The documents include applica- tions for plats, plans and development permits. Builders and developers are en - couraged to contact Dallas BA should they have questions regarding how a

She started working here before we had computers, so members had to call the office to make meeting reservations; it was Becky’s job to write all those down on little slips of paper, about a zillion of them every day because we had something like 15-20 divisions and councils at that time.” Becky is also the one who deci- phered former Executive Officer Ed Cox’s hand-written notes on the As- sociation’s history, typing the entire book to submit to the publisher. “No matter what needed to be done, Becky has always been up to the task,” Barcie recalls. “Climbing up on the Irving Convention Center’s very high mar - quee to change out the lettering for our Spanish language homebuyer’s school, Primera Casa. Retrieving a litter of feral cats that had been born in our office courtyard. Tackling all kinds of daunting office equipment set-up or repair. You name it.” “This Association has meant so much to me,” Becky has told fellow staff. “The Dallas Builders Association really is a work family, just a really big one that includes all of our members.” Her retirement plans include traveling with her husband, Darren, to visit family and friends, and to log adventures spanning the country from seashore to mountains. “Although we are very excited that Becky is able to retire and begin this new chapter in her life, she will be deeply missed,” stated Executive Officer Gena Godinez. “My only re - gret is not being able to work with her longer. Becky always has a positive attitude and is willing to help wherever needed. She has devoted countless hours to assisting Kris Cox with this transition and has agreed to be avail - able for the foreseeable future if any questions arise.” Before relocating to the DFW area, for the past 15 years, Kris Cox and her husband Kyle had owned a design/build custom home company in the Texas Hill Country, where Kris was the office administrator and book - keeper.

Professional Women in Building help fund Collin College scholarships
dents to work in a wide variety of management/supervisory roles, both in residential and commercial areas of construction. Key topics include scheduling, budgeting, personnel management, quality assurance and safety. The school’s female enrollment is twice the 11 percent national rate of women in the construction workforce, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor. “There’s an overall awareness that women can and should be doing every job that’s out there,” said Craig Johnson, director of architecture and construction programs at Collin College. “The construction industry is now deliberately seeking females be- cause they have a great eye for detail and are good communicators.”
The Dallas BA’s Professional Women in Building council on Feb. 14 presented Collin College with a $10,000 check for its Excellence Fund, which provides scholarships for students in the school’s construction management program. The presentation was part of the council’s Galentine’s Day Brunch at Association offices in Plano. The donation is earmarked for female students and will be awarded March 22 at Collin College’s Women in Construction Event. “This contribu - tion is the embodiment of PWB’s mis- sion, uplifting women and providing opportunity within the construction industry,” said council Chair Katie Youngblood of Highland Homes.
