NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

1-01 E.
Developers shall pay cost at time of final platting
for the installation of street name signs.
For public improvements bordering between or
paralleling two tracts of land under different
ownership and there is participation required by
both owners, the developer desiring to plat his
land first must do the following: Obtain the
necessary right-of-way or easement from the
adjoining property owner or owners and must have
adjoining property owner or owners to formally
agree to pay for his portion of the improvements,
or the first developer must make the improvements
at his own expense. If the property owners being
asked to participate in the improvements refuses
to participate then the City may take the necessary
steps to obtain the right-of-way or easement. Any
developer desiring to plat his land first will pay
to the City all costs involved in obtaining the
right-of-way or easement. The City may then through
a City-Developer Agreement with the first developer
desiring to plat his land agree to recover from the
owner or owners of the adjoining property an amount
equal to their share plus six (6%) per cent interest

per year. The City will recover this amount at such
time the adjoining owners are ready to develop their
property. The amount to be recovered for the first
developer will be stated in a City-Developer Agreement.
It will also state if six (6%) percent interest is to
be recovered.
Preliminary Plan Filing Fees shall be established as
$25.00 per plan plus $0.60 per lot residential and
$2.00 per acre for non-residential areas other than
parks for which no fee is required.
Final Plat Filing Fees shall be established as $25.00
per plat plus $0.60 per lot residential and $2.00 per
acre for non-residential areas other than parks for
which no fee is required.
Inspection and Laboratory Fees shall be established
as follows: The three (3%) percent inspection fee
will be paid by the developer for all public improve-
ments in all single family residential subdivisions.
On other than single family residential subdivisions
the fee shall be based on the following: Three (3%)
percent on all public improvements of $9.00 per acre,
whichever is the greater of the two. When any laboratory
test shows a condition which does not meet specifications,
the developer shall pay for all tests required by the
City's Inspector to determine that the failing condition
has been corrected.
Where a street is designed as a collector of a thorough-
fare by the City's Comprehensive Plan, the City will
participate in single family residential areas only.
The City will only participate on streets in excess of
thirty six (361) foot width, to the extent of all costs
in excess of those for a street width deemed as necessary
for traffic patterns in area in question as determined
by the City Engineer and City Manager.
Where the land use dictates additional strength design
or wider street section, no City participation is provided.
Where the City requires additional width for esthetic
value or other special conditions, the City will parti-
cipate to the same extent as 2-04 A(l). Where this
additional width for esthetic, or other special reasons,
is at the request of the Developer, no participation is
provided.
The developer shall be required to install at his own
expense all storm sewers and drainage structures. This
policy is applicable to all drainage facilities other
than the main channels of Mackey, Calloway, Walker, Fossil,
Little Bear and Mesquite Branch Creeks. On these six
water courses the developer shall be responsible for
the excavation and improvement of the channel in an
earthen condition in a manner approved by the City.
After this improvement to proper section and slope in
an earthen condition and a dedication of right-of-way
to the City, the Developer shall be relieved from further
maintenance responsibilities.
2-05 B(16) - Where bridges are required to be constructed on
Collector Streets or Thoroughfares to conform with
the Comprehensive Plan, the Developer shall be required
to deposit with the City seventy five (75%) percent
of the cost of the bridge. The City shall design and
contract to construct the bridge. In the case of a
bridge which connects two areas of different ownership,
each owner shall be responsible for half of the sum
stipulated as the Developer1s position above. The
deposit of these bridge funds does not obligate the
City to construct the facility at any certain time,
but it does relieve the Developer of responsibility
related to the funding of the project in question.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of North Richland
Hills, Texas, this 26th day of March, 1973.
