Argyle seeks updated developer fees Argyle town officials are seeking to adjust impact fees assessed for new developments to help fund capital improvement projects over the next five years. State law requires that the town have a capital improvement advisory committee to make recommendations to council on the impact fees, Community Development Director Harrison Wicks said at the Jan. 7 planning and zoning meeting. The details The committee is being formed to help the town update its impact fees, which haven’t been updated since 2020. “Construction has definitely increased in cost over the last five years and so we expect that fee to rise,” Wicks said.

Flower Mound to add signals at 3 intersections
As part of the site plan, two exceptions were approved: one to allow areas with slopes between 5% and 12%, and those with slopes greater than 12% to be impacted during development. The sec- ond exception allows construction and construc- tion-related activity within a floodplain. Zooming in The 65-home addition will be the final resi- dential subdivision built within Canyon Falls, according to previous reporting. Once built, it will bring the total number of homes within Canyon Falls to 795.
Town officials plan to improve traffic and pedes- trian signals at three intersections in 2026. The overview The first project includes building new signals at the intersection of Flower Mound Road and Quail Run Road. The signals are necessary because of the proximity to Liberty Elementary School and projected growth in the area, town officials said. A second project includes rebuilding the signals at the intersection of Cross Timbers Road and
Luther Lane, which is located near the Parker Square shopping center. The final project includes adding pedestrian signals and ADA-accessible ramps at the intersection of Old Settlers Road and McKamy Creek Road. The project, which costs nearly $1.25 million, will be funded through the town’s general fund, and construction could take five months after a four- to five-month design process. Projects could be prioritized by the town’s transportation commission in April.
