Sanford Clubhouse Dedication As you know, Staff has been working toward developing an appropriate sign for the newly named C. A. Sanford Clubhouse. After evaluation of many signs, Staff has selected the attached format. Our most recent information from the sign manufacturer leads us to believe that the sign will be installed the week of November 17, 2003. Therefore we could plan a dedication ceremony anytime after the 24th of November. Mr. Cunningham has discussed this matter with C. A. Sanford, and he is available anytime between now and Christmas and has suggested that we choose a time that would be most convenient for the City. The following dates are available and seem to not be in conflict with the City calendar or Council Member's known agendas.

INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 2003-118 . __~¡\a..__ -.:::-- -.-:=.- 1/'. , II V Date: Subject: November 10,2003 Status of enforcement of 18 wheeler ordinance The purpose of this report is to update the City Council concerning the efforts of the Code Enforcement Division to enforce the recently adopted parking ordinance for semi tractor/trailer vehicles. Enforcement of this ordinance was based on a two-step process of first issuing a warning for violators followed up by citations for vehicles that continued to be in non-com~liance. Enforcement was geared to begin the first weekend after passage (October 18th & 19t). The reasoning for this was two-fold. Staff needed time to prepare a warning "flyer" for posting on illegally parked vehicles and to set up a data base to log the licenses and descriptions of all vehicles and trailers that have been issued a warning. The weekend was also selected as a high priority time to catch the majority of offenders. The first weekend following the adoption of this ordinance code officers issued a total of 12 warnings for illegally parked vehicles. These warnings resulted in the removal of all "warned" vehicles except for one. That vehicle owner (Mayflower trailer located at the abandoned Conoco station on Davis Boulevard) was subsequently issued a citation for non-compliance. The trailer has since been removed from the property. Over the last two weeks, Code has issued an additional 13 warnings to illegally parked vehicles. At this time none of these vehicles have been issued a citation. In addition to warning vehicle owners, staff has notified the owners of those properties where the chronic parking has typically occurred informing them of the new regulations and soliciting their help in enforcement. Weekend code enforcement is done on a rotational basis between three code officers. Officers are required to be on duty for a minimum of 4 hours each weekend. It is left up to the officer as to whether the time is spent on a Saturday or Sunday. On the first two weekends following the adoption of this ordinance, all code officers were also required to participate in the Fall Community Clean-up (4 hours minimum) at Richland Business Centre. On these weekends code enforcement was limited to approximately 3 hours on average instead of the typical 4 hours. Staff feels that the majority of the chronic violators have been addressed although new parking violations continue to be encountered. Staff is confident that as enforcement of this ordinance continues, the number of both warnings and citations will decline as those associated with this industry become aware of the new regulations and the enforcement process becomes more efficient. vid L. Green Zoning Administrator ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS MINUTES OF THE PRE-COUNCIL AND REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NORTH RICH LAND HILLS, TEXAS, HELD IN THE CITY HALL, 7301 NORTHEAST LOOP 820 - OCTOBER 27, 2003 e PRE-COUNCIL SESSION The City Council of the City of North Richland Hills, Texas met in Pre-Council session on the 2ih day of October, 2003 at 5:45 p.m. in the Pre-Council Room prior to the 7:00 p.m. regular Council meeting. Present: Oscar Trevino Joe D. Tolbert John Lewis Scott Turnage Frank Metts, Jr. JoAnn Johnson David Whitson Timothy J. Welch e Staff Members: Larry J. Cunningham Greg Vick Paulette Hartman Patricia Hutson Alicia Richardson George Staples John Pitstick Larry Koonce Mike Curtis Jenny Mabry Dave Green Call to Order Mayor Mayor Pro T em Councilman Councilman Councilman Councilwoman Councilman Councilman City Manager Assistant City Manager Assistant to City Manager City Secretary Assistant City Secretary City Attorney Director of Development Finance Director Public Works Director Communications Director Zoning Administrator Mayor Trevino called the Pre-Council meeting to order at 5:45 p.m. 1.

IR 2003-112 Discussion - Possible Joint Committee Regarding Naming of Grapevine Highway Naming Mayor Trevino advised council he would rather have three council members represent North Richland Hills.

Mayor Trevino appointed Councilman Turnage, Councilman Metts and Councilwoman Johnson. e City Council Minutes October 27,2003 Page 2 e 3. IR 2003-114 Discussion of an Ordinance Amendina Chapter 16. Code of Ordinances. Relating to the Parking or Storaae of Recreational Vehicles in Residential Areas CAaenda Item No.1 0) e Mr. Green advised council that staff discussed concerns with recreational vehicles in residential areas at a pre-council meeting in June. Council discussed their concerns with the safety of motor homes that take up the entire driveway and block sidewalks to adjacent neighbors. Council directed staff to discuss these concerns and the possibility of grand-fathering existing motor homes with the Planning and Zoning Commission. Mr. Green advised current regulations for recreational vehicles including but not limited to travel trailers, motor homes, boats, boat trailers, and camper tops are required to be parked on paved surfaces and if they are located in the side or rear yard of a residence they must be screened with a 6-foot solid fence. The Planning and Zoning Commission discussed the item twice in August during their work session. The consensus of the Planning and Zoning Commission and staff was that the grand-fathering of existing recreational vehicles and locations is not feasible from an enforcement perspective. The recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission is to require all recreational vehicles to be parked behind the front building setback of interior lots and corner lots requiring placement behind both the front and side yard building setbacks. Mr. Green advised the City Attorney's ordinance is placed in Chapter 16, Article V. Parking Requirements, of the Code of Ordinances. The City Attorney felt this amendment as well as the recently approved changes to the semi-truck/trailer regulations would be best located in one central area that deals with parking-related issues for the ease of enforcement. Mr. Green showed council pictures of existing motor homes that met current regulations and pictures of motor homes, trailers, campers that were not in compliance with current regulations. Councilwoman Johnson asked if the height of the vehicle was considered by staff and Planning and Zoning Commission. Mr. Cunningham advised council their concerns were taken to the Planning and Zoning Commission for their discussion and recommendation. Councilman Tim Welch asked staff for an estimate on vehicles that could be grand- fathered. Mr. Green advised council there would be at least a couple hundred vehicles. Council discussed the manner in how staff would address vehicles if they were grand- fathered and the time frame citizens had to become compliant. e Mr. Cunningham advised council that staff could include verbiage that addressed the maximum amount of time allowed to be compliant. City Council Minutes October 27,2003 Page 3 e Council took action on the ordinance during the regular Council meeting. 4. IR 2003-113 Transportation Improvements in the Northern Part of the City e Mr. Curtis advised the city has been asked to participate in several street improvements associated with the proposed Forest Glenn West development. The developer is requesting the City to participate in the new Bursey Road extension east of Smithfield Road, the unimproved section of Bursey Road west of Smithfield, the new Smithfield Road alignment north of Bursey Road, and the unimproved section of Smithfield Road south of Bursey Road. If the City chooses to participate, two major collector streets (Bursey Road and Smithfield Road) will be improved to the width identified on the Master Thoroughfare Plan. The improvements could probably be constructed at a lower cost as compared to several years in the future. If the City chooses to participate, the City's share could come from the $2,000,000 in the 2003 Bond Program for "unspecified street improvements". The developer has indicated that that he would pay for all improvements and allow the City to reimburse him in the future. The developer has said that he would finance the City at 7% interest. If the City chooses not to participate the developer will be required to construct his portion of Bursey Road and Smithfield Road adjacent to Forest Glenn West. The developer is in the process of completing his construction plans and needs to know if the City would be interested in participating in the above street projects. Mr. Curtis advised that the City has the option to participate in part of the improvements. The developer is seeking City's participation for all the improvements, but the most critical is Bursey Road (east and west of Smithfield) and Smithfield Road south of Bursey Road. If the City chooses to participate in these improvements the City's share of the cost would be $235,000. Mr. Curtis also informed council that the home owners on Bursey Road Uust east of Smithfield Road) are willing to dedicate the right-of-way in lieu of being assessed for the street improvements for Bursey Road. Council consensus was to move forward with Bursey Road east and west of Smithfield and Smithfield Road south of Bursey Road. Council also asked staff to determine the dollar value of the street assessments for the homeowners on Bursey Road before accepting their dedicated right-of-way. 5. Executive Session Mayor Trevino announced at 6:34 that Council would adjourn to Executive Session as authorized by the Texas Government Code §551.087 to discuss economic development at North Hills Mall and deliberate on real property as authorized by the Government Code §551.072 for land acquisition south of Loop 820 area. 6.

GN 2003-130 CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 16, CODE OF ORDINANCES, RELATING TO THE PARKING AND STORAGE OF RECREATIONAL VEHICLES IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS - ORDINANCE NO. 2749 APPROVED e Mr. Green advised staff has prepared an ordinance that addresses the regulation of parking and storing of recreational vehicles in residential areas. The P1anning and Zoning Commission discussed council concerns with regard to parking and storing of recreational vehicles. The Planning and Zoning Commission and staff,,reviewed regulations of several adjacent communities, but each regulation was different from what North Richland Hills is trying to achieve. The Planning and Zoning Commission also reviewed pictures of existing recreational vehicles within the city limits. The consensus of the Commission was to have all recreational vehicles in residential areas to be parked behind the front building line on an interior lot and be parked behind the front and side building lines on a corner lot. The Commission felt that grand-fathering of existing recreational vehicles would not be feasible. Mr. Green advised council staff would begin issuing warning notices with a substantial time allotted for individuals to find other legal storage areas. Staff proposes to use the newspaper, water bills, flyers, Citicable and City website to disseminate information to the citizens. Mayor Trevino advised council he received a request to speak form from a citizen. Mayor Trevino asked for council approval to hear citizen comments since this item is not a public hearing. Mr. Marvin L. Hunt, 6520 Crane Road, said that he realizes there is a problem with the parking and storing of recreational vehicles, but could not offer any suggestions. Mr. Joe Honea, 6820 Crane Road, believes that the line of sight problem should apply to all vehicles and not just motor homes. Mr. Honea also wanted to know if there would be a temporary time to allow for loading and unloading of the vehicles. Mr. Honea also suggested possible deed restrictions to address the line of sight problem. Ms. Karen Whitmore, 5720 Guadlajara, voiced her concern for the senior citizens in North Richland Hills who own recreational vehicles. e Ms. Ray Higgins, 8308 Forest Oak, said he was in favor ordinance. City Council Minutes October 27, 2003 Page 8 e COUNCILMAN METTS MOVED TO APPROVE ORDINANCE No. 2749 WITH NO GRAND-FATHERING, BUT ALLOW GENEROUS TIME (ONE YEAR) FOR CITIZENS TO COMPLY.

COUNCILMAN METTS SAID THAT HE COULD NOT ACCEPT 90 DAYS, BUT WOULD AMEND HIS MOTION TO 6 MONTHS FOR TIME COMPUANCE. Councilman Lewis accepted the amendment proposed by Councilman Metts. Staff clarified that the enforcement of the ordinance would begin 6 months from the date of passage. e Councilman Tim Welch asked if guests of citizens are addressed in the ordinance.

The applicant plans to demolish this residence and replace it with a new residence. The applicant recently had the site rezoned to "R-1" Residential from "AG" Agricultural for this purpose. This final plat completes the requirements necessary for the applicant to receive a residential building permit. Minimum Lot Frontage Requirement: The proposed lot configuration has a very narrow appendage (50') extending from Douglas Drive. This type of configuration is referred to as a "flag" lot. The minimum lot width dimension for "R-1" zoning is 85'. The Planning and Zoning Commission has the authority to review and approve unusual lot configurations that do not meet minimum dimension requirements. The Commission took this "flag" lot configuration into account when making their recommendation. Thoroughfare Plan: The lot has frontage on Douglas Lane a 2-lane, collector street of 60' ROW. Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan indicates low density residential uses for this area. The proposed use is consistent with the Plan. Staff Review: The Development Review Committee has reviewed the plat and has determined that it is consistent with the approved preliminary plat for this site. All staff comments have been satisfied including the attached comment from the Public Works Department. Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation: The Planning and Zoning Commission at their meeting on October 16, 2003 recommended approval of PS 2003-48 by a vote of 7-0.

It is for a final plat approval of Lot 1, Block 3 of Douglas Estates Addition Phase III. This plat is located in the 7600 block of Douglas Lane and is 2.98 acres in size. This is a location where there is an existing single family residence. Mr. Smith intends to demolish the existing structure and build a new structure. This tract of land has never been platted and was originally zoned "AG" Agricultural, not for residential use. This property has been rezoned from "AG" Agricultural to "R-2" Residential and was recently brought through as a preliminary plat.

The project replaced an existing 24-inch ductile iron water line which was out of service due to heavy corrosion and leaks. The Meandering Drive 24-inch water line is North Richland Hills' primary connection to the Trinity River Authority potable water supply and feeds the Amundson Drive elevated storage tank. The project was awarded by Council on March 13, 2003, PW 2003-002 for $451,579.00 to Long Construction and Engineering, Inc. Final payment will make the contractor's total earnings on the project $391,090.52, which is $60,488.48 under the contract amount. The cost savings are primarily due to unused contingency funds and unused costs associated with hydromulch and topsoil replacement. The contractor completed the project within the contract completion time. Recommendation: To approve final payment in the amount of $42,023,90 to Long Construction & Engineering, Inc.

E. Loop 820 Utility Relocations at Rufe Snow Drive Agenda Number: PAY 2003-007 This project consisted of the relocation of water lines and a sanitary sewer line necessary to clear the right-of-way for the widening of Loop 820 at Rufe Snow Drive. The project was awarded by Council on March 13, 2003, PW 2003-003 for $443,848.00 to AUI Contractors, L.P. The total contract amount including change orders was $472,776.10. Final payment will make the contractor's total earnings on the project $315,626.53 which is $157,149.57 under the contract amount. The cost savings are primarily due to unused contingency funds and unused materials (i.e., topsoil, paving, driveways and sawcutting). Since the original Rufe Snow Drive contract would have removed these items, staff and representatives from TxDOT coordinated construction in order to avoid wasting materials. The contractor completed the project within the contract completion time. Recommendation: To approve final payment in the amount of $110,315.18 to AUI Contractors, L.P.

(GIS ,f CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department Planning & Inspections Department Council Meeting Date: 11/10/03 Subject: Consideration of a Request from Graham Ranch Partners Agenda Number: PS 2003-43 Limited To Approve the Final Plat of Graham Ranch Phase II Addition Located in the 7200 Block of Chapman Road (22.368 acres) Case Summary: A preliminary plat including both Phase 1 and Phase II of Graham Ranch (ref. PS 2003-12) was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission in April of this year. The Final Plat for Phase 1 (ref. PS 2003-37) was approved by Council on October 13th. Phase II consists of 65 "R-2" sized residential lots. Phase II also contains a 3.42 acre site which the City has agreed to purchase for use as a neighborhood park. Lot Size Exceptions: The proposed final plat includes several cul-de-sac lots that do not meet the required minimum lot width of 72.5' (at the building line). The applicant's engineer submitted an Exceptions Plan to the Planning and Zoning Commission with the preliminary plat showing residential building footprints for each of these lots and a letter requesting approval of the lots as proposed. The Planning and Zoning commission approved these lot exceptions on April1ih of this year. Current Zoning: The area included in both phases of the proposed Graham Ranch Addition was rezoned to "R- 2" Residential in February (ref. PZ 2002-42). Thoroughfare Plan: The site has frontage on Chapman Road, an existing 2 lane street. Chapman Road is proposed by the Thoroughfare Plan as a future four lane, undivided, collector (68' ROW). A masonry screening wall is required along this frontage. The plat includes a 2.5' screening wall maintenance easement for this purpose. Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan indicates low density residential uses for the entire site. The proposed development is consistent with the Plan. Staff Review: The Development Review Committee has reviewed the plat and has determined that it is consistent with the approved preliminary plat for this site. All staff comments have been satisfied. Finance Review Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.) , Budget Account Number Sufficient Funds AV3.1lal>le '- Finance Director CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation: The Planning and Zoning Commission at their meeting on, October 16, 2003 recommended approval of PS 2003-43 by a vote of 7-0 with the following stipulations: 1) The addition of a 2.5' screening wall maintenance easement along the Chapman Road frontage; 2) Remove the name Pitchfork Ranch Drive in lieu of continuing the name South Fork Drive; 3) Removal of the 10' utility easements from the front of each lot. The applicant's engineer has revised the plat to address stipulations No, 1 and No. 2 of the Commission. Stipulation NO.3 has not been addressed. Recommendation: To Approve PS 2003-43 the Final Plat of Graham Ranch Phase II Addition as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Review Schedule: Application: 8/11/03 Final Hearing: 11/10/03 Total Review Time: 13 weeks CITY COUNCIL ACTION ITEM · PS 2003-43 CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM GRAHAM RANCH PARTNERS LIMITED TO APPROVE THE FINAL PLAT OF GRAHAM RANCH PHASE II ADDITION LOCATED IN THE 7100 BLOCK OF CHAPMAN ROAD (22.368 ACRES). APPROVED · Dave Green, Zoning Administrator, summarized the case. This is a final plat approval request for Graham Ranch Addition Phase II. This property is located north of Chapman Road. Originally this property was a 77 acre tract of land that was proposed for Phase I and Phase II of Graham Ranch. Phase I has already been approved. This final plat differs from the approved preliminary in that the city has contracted to purchase 3.4 acres for a neighborhood park. Chapman Road is listed on the Thoroughfare Plan as a four lane collector street. Subdivisions adjacent to streets with this designation are required to provide a masonry screening wall. Public Works has provided a letter stating that all of Staff's basic criteria have been met. Staff would like, however, to add to the recommendation for approval the addition of a 2 ~ foot wide screening wall maintenance easement in addition to the 7 % foot utility easement that is already seen on the plat. The screening wall easement would allow the homeowners association legal access to properly maintain the screening wall. City Council passed an ordinance requiring all above ground utility appurtenances to be located on the rear of residential lots. This particular plat was approved in its preliminary plat stage with 10-ft. utility easements on the front of each lot. This is in addition to a 7 % -ft. utility easement on the rear of each lot. Based on the City Council's recent actions, Staff would recommend that the 10-ft. front yard utility easements be removed from the final plat. Mr. Davis asked Mr. Green about the addressing of Lot 9, Block 11. Would the addressing fall under South Fork Drive or Pitchfork Ranch Drive? Can the applicant make this street one name instead of two? Mark Wood, the applicant, came forward. Mr. Wood stated that it would not be a problem and that Pitchfork Ranch Drive would be eliminated, leaving South Fork Drive as the name of the street. Richard Davis, seconded by Brenda Cole, motioned to approve PS 2003-43 with these recommendations; 1 )the addition of a 2 %-ft. screening wall maintenance easement along Chapman Road, 2) Pitchfork Ranch Drive be eliminated, leaving South Fork Drive, making it one street and, 3) the 10-ft utility easement shown on the front lot line be removed. The motion carried unanimously (7-0). · .

This was done at the October 13, 2003 Council meeting. At that same City Council meeting, two final plats were approved, one being for Graham Ranch Phase I, and the other for Whispering Oaks. Also at that time, Graham Ranch Phase II was in the process and was scheduled for City Council action later this year. November 10, 2003 As a result of consideration of this ordinance, Oncor has told the City and the developers they will have to pay extra for the installation of underground electrical in the rear of subdivisions. The City has been working with Oncor on this issue for some time. After the adoption of the ordinance, Staff had extensive discussions with Oncor and with both involved developers. As a result of those discussions, Oncor agreed to design the electrical for the two subdivisions and inform the City of the cost the developer would be expected to incur as a result of the City's new ordinance. Oncor had committed to providing those costs to the City on October 30, 2003. That information was delayed, and on October 31, Oncor notified the City that they would provide that information on Wednesday, November 5. AS of the writing of this IR and delivery of the Agenda packets, Oncor has still not provided us or the developer the costs, If Oncor does not come back with reasonable costs, one option the City Attorney advised could be done to address the immediate issue of Oncor mandated costs for Graham Ranch I and II and Whispering Oaks, would be to amend the ordinance for final plats approved on October 13, 2003 through November 10, 2003. That amendment would allow those final plats to have underground electrical lines in front yard easements with above ground appurtenances allowed in side yard easements behind the front building setback line. The developer would create these easements by separate document and therefore avoid the replatting process. The City Attorney has advised that by doing this, the developer would not have to go back through the platting process. He also advised that all plats after November 10, 2003 would require the rear placement of transformers that are above ground. The motivation for this proposed ordinance was the desire to avoid placing additional costs on the developments that were in the final plat approval process during the time frame mentioned above. Such an Ordinance could be ready for consideration by the City Council as soon as Staff has cost information from Oncor regarding the difference in the placement of the electric utilities. During the visits between Staff and the developers, we have committed to inform them regarding cost differential feedback that we may receive from Oncor on these two subdivisions. Staff would appreciate direction as to whether we should bring an ordinance forward for your consideration at the next City Council meeting when cost data is available. We will continue to monitor this and be prepared to respond appropriately. If you have questions or comments, please feel free to call me or Larry Cunningham.

Ordinance No. 2751. During the Council's recent discussion concerning recreational vehicle and trailer parking in residential areas, a question was raised concerning the parking of these vehicles on residential streets. The concern was for those situations where recreational vehicles or trailers would be left on the public street for an extended amount of time. Council directed staff to review current regulations and return with a possible revision that would address this concern. Staff has made a good faith effort in the attached ordinance to develop regulations based on Council's desires; however, staff would appreciate other thouahts and further direction if the Council deems it necessary. The attached ordinance amends Chapter 16 of the Code of Ordinances, the same chapter where recent regulations for 18 wheeler and RV parking are included.
