Ordinance revising Chapter 16 of the Code of Ordinances Relating to the
Parking and Storage of Semi Tractors and Trailers.
Council has commented to staff concerning the proliferation of semi trucks and trailers that are
being parked on private property as well as in public ROW throughout the community. Council
has directed staff to bring forward ordinance revisions that would effectively deal with this
situation.
With the help of the Police Department, the Code Enforcement Division and the City Attorney,
staff has prepared an ordinance revising Chapter 16, Article V. Parking Requirements, of the
Code of Ordinances. The purpose of this revision is to provide restrictions and enforcement that
will more effectively control this parking issue.
Staff will be presenting this ordinance revision for discussion at Pre Council. In addition staff has
placed the proposed ordinance revision on the Council's regular session for consideration.

Residential utility services
In recent months Oncor has begun a program whereby electrical services for new residential
subdivisions are provided from the front of a lot as opposed to the traditional rear service.
Although individual service drops are underground, this policy has led to the placement of
electrical transformers in the front yard of some lots throughout a subdivision. According to
Oncor the purpose for this policy is to increase serviceability of replacing or working on
transformers when service problems occur. It is more efficient and timely to replace
transformers that are easily accessible in the front of yards as opposed to those in the rear of
lots.
Although there have been residential subdivisions built in the past that have front yard
transformers due to various service/design difficulties, only in the last year has it come to the
attention of the city staff through the subdivision review process that Oncor now has a policy of
only front yard utility service regardless of whether there are any design difficulties. In addition to
Oncor, these front yard utility easements may be utilized by other service providers such as
cable and phone which may also include service boxes in the front as well.
This service/easement issue was brought to the Council's attention several months ago when
the Final Plat for Iron Horse Addition, Phase II was placed on the Council's agenda for
consideration. Although this subdivision plat was approved by Council with the front yard
easements, Council directed staff to bring the issue to the Planning and Zoning Commission for
discussion and recommendation concerning this issue.
Oncor, staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission have discussed the issue at several
Commission meetings over the past few months. Staff has prepared a Subdivision Code
revision that would (in it's basic form) require all utilities to be underground unless there are
technical, environmental or economic reasons where this cannot be accomplished. In those
situations, any above ground utility appurtenances will be required to be placed along the rear of
the lot. This Subdivision Code revision was most recently recommended for approval by the
Planning Commission at their October 2nd meeting.
Staff will be presenting the Planning and Zoning Commission code revision for discussion at Pre
Council. In addition staff has placed the proposed revision on the Council's regular session for
consideration. Oncor representatives have proposed an alternate version that basically requires
any above ground appurtenances, such as transformers, to be behind the front building line.
This concept is intended to see the transformers normally being placed at the backend of the
driveway. These items will be further discussed during Pre Council. Please feel free to call
Larry Cunningham or Greg Vick if you have any questions before the meeting.

Possible Cancellation of December 22 Council Meeting
Earlier this year during a Pre-Council meeting, Council agreed to reschedule the December 8
meeting to December 15 because of the NLC Conference being held the week of December 8.
The second meeting in December is on December 22. All Planning & Zoning items are
scheduled to come to Council at the December 15 meeting and it is not anticipated that there
will be any additional Planning & Zoning items for December 22. The other departments in the
City do not anticipate any items that cannot be completed at the December 15 meeting. Staff
requests Council direction on whether to proceed with the December 22 council meeting or to
cancel the meeting.

with Staff responding to questions.

was approved - those operating and maintenance costs must come out of the general
fund.

Mr. Pendley advised council that staff is proposing an apartment maintenance
ordinance. Mr. Pendley presented a PowerPoint presentation highlighting the proposed
apartment maintenance program. The ordinance would establish a centralized contact
person in the building inspection department who would be responsible for inspecting
multi-family housing units on a bi-annual basis. This person would also field individual
complaints raised by apartment tenants. The ordinance stipulates that apartment
owners/managers would be required to attain an operating license in order to operate
their facilities. Apartment units must be inspected and meet minimum standards as
determined by the ordinance. The failure to maintain a valid multi-family operating
license may result in fines up to $2,000.00. Staff proposes a $1.00 per month per unit
fee that will be made a part of the apartment complex's water bill. Mr. Pendley advised
council other cities throughout the Dallas/Fort Worth area have an apartment
maintenance program and the proposed ordinance is closely modeled after several of
those programs.
Council discussed the proposed ordinance and expressed the following concerns -
1) The ordinance needs to address situations such as a couple residing in a one-
bedroom apartment becoming parents of triplets and exceeding the occupancy limit.
2) Concerns that revoking the certificate of occupancy will hurt the tenants more than
the landlord; that the landlord would use as a means to evict a tenant by not
repairing the unit. Mr. Pendley explained that revoking the certificate of occupancy
was a tool to issue citations for non-compliance. It was suggested to change the
wording to revoke certificates of occupancy in unoccupied units only.
3) Concerns with enforcement of unoccupied vehicles. Council was advised there is a
separate ordinance addressing unoccupied vehicles, but that reference can be
made in ordinance that abandoned vehicles will be enforced according to the
unoccupied vehicle ordinance
4) Concern with fourplexes not being included in the enforcement; there could be
situations where several fourplexes are owned by one individual. Staff advised that
the ordinance would apply to fourplexes located on a parcel of land, but not to a
single lot.
5) Section 5.170 - need to change "may" to "shall" in sentence - Each washateria,
clubhouse or office may be counted.....
6) Felt the emergency telephone number should also be posted on the property. Staff
advised that a provision can be added requiring it to be posted with the license.
7) Council wanted the Building Official to have the authority to monitor and control the
number of occupancy.
Consensus of Council is for staff to move forward with ordinance incorporating changes
discussed.

program. The Fort Worth Transportation Authority (The T), in cooperation with the
Board of NETS Urban Transit District, will be responsible for administration of the

program have been working with representatives from the T, American Red Cross,
YMCA and TXDOT to insure a smooth transition. The contract is for three years with
the option to renew for two additional years. Council was advised that the Mayor along

(LOCATED IN THE 8200 BLOCK OF SAYERS LANE - .414 ACRES)
APPROVED
Mayor Trevino opened the public hearing.
Ms. Sylvia Thrash, applicant, was present to answer questions of council.
Zoning Administrator Dave Green advised the site is currently platted as Lot 13 with a
residential structure on the western half of the lot. The applicant wants to replat the site
into two lots in order to construct a single-family residence on the proposed Lot 13R2.
Mr. Green brought to council's attention that the lot does not meet the depth
requirements of R-3, but the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends waiver for
depth of lot and approval of final plat.
e
Mayor Trevino called for anyone wishing to speak for or against the request to come
forward. There being no one wishing to speak Mayor Trevino closed the public hearing.

GN 2003-117 CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE SIGN
ORDINANCE - ORDINANCE NO. 2740
APPROVED
Mr. Green advised the ordinance before council tonight addressed council's concern
with relation to political signs. Staff has prepared the amendment to address the
concentration of identical political signs and weekend advertising signs along rights-of-
way. Mr. Green advised council weekend advertising signs are currently regulated by
200' spacing requirement and Staff would notify the major sign contractors of this
regulation. The proposed ordinance would allow a minimum spacing of 10' between
identical or duplicate political signs.
Council discussed the signs needing to be spaced more than ten feet apart and
expressed concerns the ordinance will allow signs to be placed in the medians along
Meadowlakes Drive and North Tarrant Parkway.

Council Meeting Date: 10/13/03
Subject: Consideration of a Reauest from Kirby Cox to approve the Agenda Number: PS 2003-45
Final Plat of Lot 1, Block 1 Kirby Addition Located at 8601 Cardinal Lane (3.33 acres)
Case Summary:
A single family residence was located on this site and occupied by the applicant for a number
of years. In December of last year the residence was destroyed by fire. The applicant desires
to rebuild the residence; however, the site was neither platted nor zoned for residential use.
The applicant recently rezoned the site to "R-1-S" Residential (ref. PZ 2003-19). Approval of
this plat would allow the applicant to proceed with obtaining building permits to rebuild the
residence.
Current Zoning:
This site was recently rezoned to "R-1-S" (ref. PZ 2003-19).
Thoroughfare Plan:
The site has frontage on Cardinal Lane, a local street of 50' ROW.
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan was effectively changed to low density residential uses by the recent
approval of "R-1-S" zoning for the site.
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, September 11, 2003,
recommended approval of PS 2003-45 by a vote of 5-0.
Recommendation:
To Approve PS 2003-45 the Final Plat of Lot 1, Block 1 Kirby Addition.

CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM KIRBY COX TO APPROVE THE
FINAL PLAT OF LOT 1, BLOCK 1 KIRBY ADDITION LOCATED AT 8601
CARDINAL LANE (3.33 ACRES).
APPROVED
Dave Green, Zoning Administrator, summarized the case. This is the same
property that was previously discussed. That was the preliminary and this is the
final. Mr. Green explained for the record why, in this particular case, the
preliminary and the final are being seen at the same time. Normally, in the
subdivision process, properties go through a preliminary plat process which
comes to Planning & Zoning for approval. Once this occurs, the developer or
owner returns with a final plat. Most of the time a preliminary plat and a final plat
are separated by a substantial amount of time. In this particular case, Mr. Cox's
property is a single lot and block with a simple design. Staff has also taken into
consideration Mr. Cox's personal situation. Staff has provided a letter from
Public Works stating that all concerns have been addressed. Staff recommends
approval.
Mr. Davis stated that at one time, the Commission did allow someone not to do a
preliminary plat. It was a one lot subdivision with other stipulations.
Mr. Green stated that there is an application for a short-form final. This is a
process that combines the preliminary and final together. The condition for doing
this is there has to be a residence or building on the property to be occupied. In
Mr. Cox's situation, his residence was burned down so he cannot do a short-form
final. Staff is only assisting Mr. Cox through this process with speed in order to
accommodate him and his family.
Vice Chairman Schopper called for a motion.
Ken Sapp, seconded by Richard Davis, motioned to approve PS 2003-45.
The motion carried unanimously (5-0).

Preliminary Plat PS2003-44
Final Plat PS2003-45
Public Works has reviewed the Preliminary and Final Plats submitted to this office on
September 4, 2003. As per my conversation with Ernest Hedgcoth, a 7.5' utility
easement will be added to the rear of the Kirby Addition to comply with the City of North

easements, we recommend placement on the next Planning and Zoning meeting
agenda.

Case Summary:
The City recently purchased a tract of land from the Eggleston Estate as an expansion to
Northfield Park. The purpose of this plat is to incorporate this tract into the existing park
(proposed Lot 1). The remaining Lot 2 is owned by the Eggleston estate.

public street.

The Comprehensive Plan indicates retail uses for Lot 2 and that portion of Lot 1 that fronts
Northfield Drive. The expansion of the existing Northfield Park along Northfield Drive would
revise the uses recommended by the Comprehensive 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.
Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation:
The Planning and Zoning Commission at their meeting on, September 11, 2003,

CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM SIDNEY EGGLESTON AND THE
CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS TO APPROVE THE FINAL PLAT OF
LOTS 1 & 2, BLOCK 2 NORTHFIELD PARK ADDITION LOCATED IN THE
8400-8500 BLOCK OF NORTHFIELD DRIVE ( 32.13 ACRES).
APPROVED
Dave Green, Zoning Administrator, summarized the case. This property is
located on Davis Boulevard. A portion of the plat is the existing Northfield Park.
The City is currently purchasing a portion of the property in order to add to
Northfield Park. The second lot located at the intersection of Northfield Drive and
Davis Boulevard will not be owned by the City, but will remain a commercial tract
of land. Staff has provided a letter stating that all issues have been resolved.
Staff recommends approval.
Ms. Cole asked Mr. Green to explain this plat further.
Mr. Green explained that the overriding factor of this plat was the City was
purchasing property which the City wanted to include in the existing park area.
The City didn't purchase the entire piece of property that was available.
Mr. Davis asked Mr. Barton if there was a Lone Star gas pipeline going across
Lot 1 and if so why isn't there an easement for that. An easement is shown
going across the House of Grace property, does it continue through.
Mr. Barton responded that was a question that came up during the platting
process. There is an easement there that is not recorded. The gas line is there
with the easement which is noted on the plat to acknowledge its presence.
Mr. Davis asked if it was an over and across easement. Mr. Barton responded
yes. Mr. Barton stated that Public Works has discussed the issue with the gas
company and the gas company is considering establishing an easement.
Mr. Davis asked if the gas company would give Public Works a width that could
be done during the dedication. Mr. Barton stated that during the platting process
the decision was made not to go that route. In order to acknowledge that the gas
line was there, it was shown on the plat and the easement issue will be dealt with
at a later date.
Vice Chairman Schopper called for a motion.
Richard Davis, seconded by Brenda Cole, motioned to approve PS 2003-47.
The motion carried unanimously (5-0).

Subject: Approve Abandonment of a Sanitary Sewer Easement
Located in Home Town NRH West - Phase 2-
Ordinance No. 2744
Agenda Number: GN 200~-127
Prior to the Home Town NRH West - Phase 2 development, several easements and
previously dedicated street rights-of-way existed. The new Home Town development
utilized some of the existing easements and street rights-of-way, but needed to relocate
some existing utilities and realigned some of the existing street right-of-way. Several
unused easements have been previously abandoned. This ordinance identifies another
sanitary sewer easement that needs to be abandoned.
This sanitary sewer easement is located at 6109 Winter Park Drive in the recently platted
Home Town NRH West - Phase 2 Addition (see Exhibit "A") and was identified by plat to
be abandoned. There is no City of North Richland Hills infrastructure located in the
easement. The construction of this section of the Home Town development is complete
and lots are being sold. The developer is requesting that this easement be abandoned at
this time.
Recommendation: To approve Ordinance No. 2744.

area and traveling into the bleacher and plaza area. The specifications call for extension of
the backstops to a height of 24 feet from the playing field with netting material spanning from
dugout to dugout wrapping the backstop.
Funding, in the amount of $77,201, for this project is available in the approved FY 2003-04
CIP Budget in the Walker's Creek Girl's Fast Pitch Net Extension Project Account.
Sports Facilities Construction Company submitted the lowest most qualified bid in the amount
of $41,600.00.
This project complies with City Council Goal #5 "enhancing the quality of life with quality
parks, open space and trails."
Recommendation: To award the Walker's Creek Park Net Extension Project to Sports
Facilities Construction Company in the amount of $41 ,600.00.

Municipal Facility Capital Projects
Exterior Painting of Municipal Complex (2003)
02-10-02-006
PROJECT DESCRIPTION & JUSTIFICATION
Exterior painting of facilities at Municipal Complex on Dick Fisher Drive & Fire Station 2. Also included in this project is power
washing the exterior of all buildings to remove stains and pollution film. Paint all metal trim on buildings, lighting fixtures, metal
in brick fencing and overhead doors at Animal Control and the Service Center.
This project is a continuation of the 10-year Building Plan approved in 1997. These facilities have not been painted or
pressure washed since they were built in 1987. The paint has worn very thin and rust is forming in many areas. If the rust
works completely through the metal trim, major repairs will be required.

REVISION EXPLANATION
Expendutures for this project were approved as part of the FY2002/03 CIP budget. The project, however, was not included in
the FY 2003/04 adopted budget. Therefore, this revision is necessary for Support Services to gain legal expenditure authority
in this fiscal year. No scope changes are being proposed and the overall project amount remains equal to the amount
adopted in FY 2002/03 ($80,000).

Department: Finance /Iron Horse Golf Course
Council Meeting Date: 10/13/2003
Subject: Award Bid for Grounds Maintenance Equipment to Austin Agenda Number: PU 2003-045
Turf and Tractor in the Amount of $190,830
Formal bids were solicited for specialized grounds maintenance equipment for Iron Horse Golf
Course. This will be replacement equipment included in the five year replacement program
created for the Golf Course. The results are outlined below.
Saginaw Implement
Luber Bros
Austin Turf & Tractor
Professional Turf Products
$ 41,991 (incomplete bid, does not meet specs)
$181,259 (incomplete bid, does not meet specs)
$190,830
$196,876
The bids submitted by Saginaw Implement and Luber Bros. were incomplete and the equipment
they offered did not meet the minimum specifications.
Austin Turf & Tractor is the John Deere turf products distributor for our area. They have a 98.7%
next day parts and labor ability (this includes parts in stock and out of stock). This company is also
a current vendor at Iron Horse and does an excellent job in every area including service, customer
support, and repairs. Their bid met all the specifications and general conditions of the bid and can
deliver the equipment within 30 days.
The 2003/04 adopted Budget calls for the establishment of an equipment replacement plan for Iron
Horse. Year one of the plan includes a loan from the City's Reserve for Capital Improvements to
the Golf Course Fund to be used for the acquisition of the grounds maintenance equipment
proposed herein. Iron Horse will repay the loan over the next five years at 3% interest. The
amount appropriated by Council for this equipment is equal to the loan amount of $183,805. The
existing equipment will be auctioned and the proceeds will be used to offset the difference between
the budgeted amount and the bid award amount.
This equipment was bid under the City purchasing policies and procedures saving approximately
$15,000 in sales tax.
Recommendation: To award the bid for grounds maintenance equipment to Austin Turf and
Tractor in the amount of $190,830.

Amount of $1,180,209.69 for the Main StreeUGlenann Drive
Drainage Improvements Project and Approve Revision to the
2003/04 CIP Budget
PW 2003-115
The Main StreeUGlenann Drive Drainage Improvements project consists of two separate
drainage projects identified in the 2003/04 Capital Projects Budget. The Public Works
Department bid the Main Street and the Glenann Drive Drainage Improvements projects
together to benefit from the "economy of scale".
The Main Street project will provide drainage improvements in Main Street from Walkers
Branch to Chilton Drive. The improvements will consist of an underground system with
additional inlets in Main Street to collect the surface runoff.
The Glenann Drive Drainage Improvement project will consist of constructing an
underground drainage system in Glenann Drive and Sherri Lane.
Some residential property has experienced flooding along these streets in the past. Both
projects are needed to help mitigate the flooding potential and to bring both of these areas
closer to meeting the City's current drainage criteria.
On August 27, 2003, ten (10) bids were received for the Main StreetlGlenann Drainage
Improvement projects. The three low bids are summarized below.

In order to allow flexibility in the award of the bid, the two projects were combined into
three alternative combinations. Alternate "A" was to construct both projects. Alternate "B"
deleted the Glenann Drive Drainage Improvements project completely, and Alternate "C"
deleted a portion of the Glenann project.
Staff's options were limited in reducing the scope of the Main Street project. The design
that was bid was the minimum design necessary to improve the Main Street and Marlette
Court drainage problems. Therefore, none of the alternates included a "scope of work"
reduction to the Main Street project.
The project came in over budget in all three alternates. The cause is due to some last
minute changes in the amount of pavement, curb and gutter and driveways that would
need to be replaced with the installation of the proposed drainage improvements.
Originally Main Street was only going to be "patched" over the storm drain improvements
and the remaining street overlayed. However, because of utility conflicts, 1/2 of the street
will need to be replaced the length of the proposed storm drain improvements. The table
below indicates the breakdown of the total bid (Alternate "A") by each project. It also
shows the construction budget for each project.

$1.015.800.00
Difference
$251,744.74
($87.334.78)
$164.409.69
As shown above, the low bid for the Main Street project came in $251,744.74 over the
2003/04 Capital Projects construction budget. The Glenann Drive project came in
$87,334.78 under the construction budget.
The additional funds needed to cover the Main Street project can come from project
savings that will be recognized from the Walker Branch Channel Improvement project.
The Walker Branch Channel project was awarded by Council on September 8, 2003 (PW
2003-013) in the amount of $378,589.00. The construction budget for this project is
$750,000.00 which is $371,411 more than the construction bid. Staff is recommending
that $300,000.00 be transferred from the Walker Branch Channel project to cover the
additional funds needed for construction of the Main Street project.
Sufficient funds will be available for the Main Street project with the revisions of the
2003/04 Capital Projects Budget as shown on the attached sheets.
Project location maps are also attached for reference.
Recommendation: To award the bid for Alternate "A" on the Main StreeUGlenann Drive
Drainage Improvements project to Hall-Albert Construction Co. in the amount of
$1,180,209.69 and approve the revision to the 2003/04 Capital Improvements Projects
Budget as outlined on the attached sheets.

Walker Branch Channel Improvements (Jerri Jo to Harwood)
99-20-50-004
PROJECT DESCRIPTION & JUSTIFICATION
This project consists of constructing a gab ion-lined channel with earthen bottom from Harwood Rd. to Jerri Jo. The project will
need to meet the Section 404 Permitting requirements through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Extensive time will be
involved getting approval from the Corps of Engineers because of the "Natural" condition of the existing channel. This project
will be completed along with Glenann Drive Drainage Improvements and Main Street Drainage Improvements. This project will
mitigate flooding for adjacent property owners. In addition some of the property adjacent to the channel could be removed out
of the 1 OO-year flood plain after approval by FEMA.
Note: The $41,093 in "reserves" represent personnel cost related to the project and will be funded from unspecified project
savings.

Main Street Drainage Improvements (Marlette to Chilton)
96-02-64-011
PROJECT DESCRIPTION & JUSTIFICATION
This project consists of providing drainage improvements for Main Street and Woodstair Drive. The improvement for Main
Street consists of constructing a parallel storm drain from the Walker Branch Channel to Chilton Drive. Storm drain
improvements proposed for Main Street involve constructing approximately 800 feet of box culvert and 1,300 feet of
Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP). In addition to the RCP, curb inlets and junction boxes will be required. In 1995, the city
received several days of heavy rains. There were many residents in the city that experienced flooding. Some of the residents
lived along Marlette Ct. This project is being done in order to minimize the chances of homes that are located on Marlette Ct.

Department: Planninç¡ & Inspections Department
Council Meeting Date: 10/13/03
Subject: Approve Ordinance AmendinQ the Subdivision Ordinance Agenda Number: GN2003-122
regarding the location of above ground appurtenances in residential areas. Ordinance No. 2737
Summary:
In recent months Oncor has begun a program whereby electrical services for new
residential subdivisions are provided from the front of a lot as opposed to the traditional
rear service. Although individual service drops are underground, this policy has led to the
placement of electrical transformers in the front yard of some lots throughout a subdivision.
According to Oncor the purpose for this policy is to increase serviceability of replacing or
working on transformers when service problems occur.
This service/easement issue was brought to the Council's attention several months ago
when the Final Plat for Iron Horse Addition, Phase II was placed on the Council's agenda
for consideration. Although this subdivision plat was approved by Council with the front
yard easements, Council directed staff to bring the issue to the Planning and Zoning
Commission for discussion and recommendation.
Oncor, staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission have discussed the issue at several
Commission meetings over the past few months. Staff researched several nearby cities
for similar ordinances and found that the City of Euless had experienced the same
aesthetic issue and had revised their Subdivision Code to regulate the location of above
ground electrical transformers. The attached proposed Ordinance is modeled after the
Euless Ordinance. This ordinance, in its basic form, would require all residential utilities to
be placed underground unless there are technical, environmental or economic reasons
where this cannot be accomplished. In those situations, any above ground utility
appurtenances (transformer boxes) will be required to be placed along the rear of the lot.
This Subdivision Ordinance revision was most recently recommended for approval by the
Planning Commission at their October 2nd meeting.
Following the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation, Oncor submitted a
request, which has been provided in this packet, to provide an alternative to the
recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission to require any above ground
transformer boxes to be located behind the building set-back line versus the rear of the
property.

Attached is a letter from Oncor outlining this option to the Planning and Zoning
Commission's recommendation. This option would permit above ground appurtenances
(for all utilities) in the front of a lot only if located behind the front building line. The
appurtenances would be placed within an easement along the common side property line
between two residences. This option would remove above ground appurtenances from the
very front of a lot (current Oncor policy) thereby reducing the appurtenance's visibility and
aesthetic impact from the street.
Oncor has stated that the costs for providing such facilities at the building line would be
approximately the same as that of front yard, but that rear locations would be a greater
cost to developers. Some developers have expressed interest in rear or building line
locations but have been concerned about costs.
The Planning and Zoning Commission has not specifically reviewed this most recent
option provided by Oncor, but did review various concepts and variations in their meetings
prior to recommending rear location of above ground equipment.
Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation:
To approve Ordinance No. 2737 for rear locations for above ground utility appurtenances.

Mr. Larry Cunningham, City Manager
City of North Richland Hills
P. O. Box 820609
North Richland Hills, TX 76182-0609
Dear Larry:
We appreciate the opportunity to provide input regarding our concerns about the
proposed ordinance that the Planning & Zoning Commission has submitted to council for
approval. The proposed ordinance addresses changes to both the Subdivision Ordinance
and the Right-of-Way Ordinance. Oncor feels strongly that the amendment to the Right-
of-Way Ordinance should be excluded fÌ'om this proposed ordinance as the proPQsed
changes relate only to residential subdivisions and not to the City's public rights-of-way.
In order to reach a mutually acceptable agreement regarding the location of underground
facilities, Oncor offers the following comments as they relate to the Subdivision
Ordinance only:
1. Front lot utilities, including electric primary conductors and secondary
conductors, shall be allowed if installed underground. All above ground
appurtenances including transformers shall be located behind the front set back
line within side lot utility easements of new residential subdivisions.
2. Front lot utilities including electric and gas, when practical, shall utilize a joint
trench as part of the subdivision utility infÌ'astructure design.
3. Side lot line utility easements shall be designed so as to be incorporated in the
plans and design of side lot driveways for new residential construction. All above
ground appurtenances including electrical transformers shall be positioned within
the easement on a concrete pad abutting the end of the driveway behind the front
set back line.
4. All facilities necessary to provide service to electrical transformers including
primary conductors, secòndary conductors and service wires shall be placed
underground within aten foot wide utility easement parallel and adjoining side lot
property lines.
5. Access to above ground utility appurtenances shall be provided by the side lot
paved utility easement. If the 1 Oxl 0 foot transformer pad site is screened or
fenced, gated access to transformer must be provided.
·
·
·
6. In instances where the allowable utility expenditure per lot is exceeded,
developers or builders shall pay the difference in the cost of installing utility
inftastructure.
7. Nothing herein shall be construed as to require utilities to "underground" existing
or new electric facilities or prohibit the upgrading, reconstruction or
reconductoring of existing overhead facilities in the City's public rights-of-way.
Oncor is a regulated utility, and it is imperative that we provide safe and reliable electric
service. Access, design and operation of our facilities must be consistent across our
system. We feel these changes will help the City and Oncor reach a mutually acceptable
agreement.
We would welcome the opportunity to make comments and answer questions from the
council at Monday night's meeting.
Sincerely,
JJ¡~Æ¿~

ORDINANCE NO. 2737
AN ORDINANCE AlVIENDING THE NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS,
SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE AND THE ORDINANCE GOVERNING
CONSTRUCTION IN PUBLIC RIGHTS OF WAY TO REQUIRE ELECTRIC,
TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND CABLE TV FACILITIES IN NEW
SUBDIVISIONS BE PLACED UNDERGROUND AND REQUIRING THAT
ANY ABOVE GROUND APPURTENANCES BE PLACED ALONG REAR LOT
LINES UNLESS UNFEASIBLE; PROVIDING A PENALTY; PROVIDING A
SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION; AND
PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended that electric,
telecommunications and cable television facilities in new subdivisions be placed
underground and that any above-ground appurtenances be located along rear lot
lines; NOW, THEREFORE,
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL, CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS,
TEXAS:
Section 1:
THAT Section 330 of Subdivsion Ordinance No. 1982, and Section 6.B of
Construction in Public Rights of Way Ordinance 2464 are hereby amended by
adding thereto the following
"In new residential subdivisions, electric, telecommunications and cable television facilities,
including new service drops, shall be placed underground. Above-ground appurtenances and
equipment, and, ifpennitted, above-ground facilities shall be placed along rear lot or tract lines.
The developer of the effected property may appeal the above requirements to the Planning and
Zoning Commission at the preliminary plat stage based upon the requirement not being
technically environmentally or economically feasible. Fire hydrants and traffic signal
controllers are exempted from the rear lot or tract line requirement with passage ofthis section.
City will work diligently with facility owner, developer and affected property owners during
the zoning and platting processes of new subdivisions to ensure reasonable equipment access
to facilities along rear lot or tract lines will be available. When facilities are to be placed along
rear lot or tract lines, before construction of facilities commences, the easement shall be
reduced to final grade, at developer's sole cost and expense. Additionally, if such easement is
located with a floodplain, the entire surface ofthe easement shall be raised above the floodplain
elevation, at developer's sole cost and expense, before construction of the facilities commences.
The necessity for removal of minimal fencing and/or landscaping within easements to pennit
the replacement of facilities, appurtenances, and equipment is considered to be within the
definition of reasonable access. Where no such access can be made available, facility owner
and developer shall make reasonable efforts to place above-ground facilities, appurtenances and
equipment in the least visible areas of the street rights-of-way and street yards that are
consistent with reasonable city standards. Sight visibility easements and horizontal clear
triangles are not appropriate locations for the placement of above-ground facilities,

appurtenances and equipment as they would create safety concerns by blocking or impairing
the visibility of vehicular traffic."
Section 2:
Section 3:
Section 4:
Section 5:
Any person, finn or corporation violating any provision ofthis ordinance
shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon final conviction thereof
fined in an amount not to exceed Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00). Each day
any such violation shall be allowed to continue shall constitute a separate
violation and punishable hereunder.
It is hereby declared to be the intention of the City Council that the sections,
paragraphs, sentences, clauses and phrases of this ordinance are severable
and, if any phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph or section of this ordinance
shall be declared unconstitutional or otherwise invalid by the final judgment
or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not
affect any of the remaining phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs and
sections of this ordinance, since the same would have been enacted by the
city council without the incorporation in this ordinance of any such invalid
phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph or section.
The City Secretary is hereby authorized and directed to cause the publication

SUBDIVISIONS BE PLACED UNDERGROUND EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY
ALLOWED HEREIN, AND REQUIRING THAT ANY ABOVE GROUND
APPURTENANCES BE PLACED ALONG REAR LOT LINES UNLESS
UNFEASIBLE; PROVIDING A PENALTY; PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY
CLAUSE; PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION; AND PROVIDING AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.

adding thereto the following
In new residential subdivisions:
Except as provided below, electric, telecommunications and cable television facilities,
including new service drops, shall be placed underground absent a reasonable demonstration
to the Planning and Zoning Commission at the preliminary plat stage by the facility owner,
developer or affected property owner that this requirement is not technically, environmentally,
or economically feasible. Above-ground appurtenances and equipment, and, if permitted,
above-ground facilities shall be placed along rear lot or tract lines. Fire hydrants and traffic
signal controllers are exempted from the rear lot or tract line requirement with passage of this
section. City will work diligently with facility owner, developer and affected property owners
during the zoning and platting processes of new subdivisions to ensure reasonable equipment
access to facilities along rear lot or tract lines will be available. When facilities are to be placed
along rear lot or tract lines, before construction of facilities commences, the easement shall be
reduced to final grade, at developer's sole cost and expense. Additionally, if such easement is
located with a floodplain, the entire surface ofthe easement shall be raised above the floodplain
elevation, at developer's sole cost and expense, before construction of the facilities commences.
The necessity for removal of minimal fencing and/or landscaping within easements to permit
the replacement of facilities, appurtenances, and equipment is considered to be within the
definition of reasonable access. Where no such access can be made available, facility owner
and developer shall make reasonable efforts to place above-ground facilities, appurtenances and

Council Meeting Date: 10/13/03
Subject: Consideration of a Request from Graham Ranch Partners Agenda Number: PS 2003-37
Limited To Approve the Final Plat of Graham Ranch Phase 1 Addition Located in the 7000 block
of Hightower Drive (54.70 acres)
Case Summary:
A preliminary plat including both Phase One and Phase Two of Graham Ranch (ref. PS 2003-
12) was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission in April of this year.
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 April 1 ih 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 Hightower Drive, currently a four lane, undivided, collector street (68'
ROW). This current configuration is consistent with the Thoroughfare Plan designation. There
are no proposed local street connections to the adjacent Richfield Subdivision.
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.

Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation:
The Planning and Zoning Commission at their meeting on September 11, 2003 recommended
approval of PS 2003-37 by a vote of 5-0 with the following stipulation:
1) That the 10-ft utility easements shown on the front of the lots not be required.
The intent of this stipulation was to avoid the placement of above ground electrical transformers
or any other above ground utility appurtenances at the front of a residential lot.
Should Council approve the option for above ground appurtenances as proposed by Oncor (ref
GN 2003-122), the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation should be altered to
reflect the Council's decision. Oncor has stated that this change in location of above ground
appurtenances (behind the front building line) will not increase utility costs.
Recommendation:
To Approve PS 2003-37 the Final Plat of Graham Ranch Phase I Addition.

CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM GRAHAM RANCH PARTNERS
LIMITED TO APPROVE THE FINAL PLAT OF GRAHAM RANCH PHASE I
ADDITION LOCATED IN THE 7000 BLOCK OF HIGHTOWER DRIVE (54.70
ACRES).
APPROVED
Dave Green, Zoning Administrator, summarized the case. The Commission has
seen this property in the past in regards to a zoning change and the preliminary
plat. This is Phase I, which includes the area between the drainage channel that
runs east and west and north to Hightower Drive. Staff has provided a letter from
Public Works stating that all of Staffs issues have been met. Staff recommends
approval of PS 2003-37.
Mr. Laubacher stated that when this plat came before the Commission as a
zoning change, there was some concern from the residents to the south. The
residents didn't want to be connected to this development. This current plat
doesn't show the connection.
Mr. Green stated that was correct. The streets mentioned were those that
connected the adjacent subdivision on the southern portion of the plat. The
developer did remove them in order to keep the subdivisions separate.
Mr. Davis asked Mr. Wood if the entrance walls were going to be similar to those
that Mr. Wood has built in the past.
Mark Wood, the developer, came forward. Mr. Wood responded yes, that there
would be a masonry wall on both Hightower Drive and Chapman Road.
Mr. Davis stated that the drainage and common open space will be maintained
by the Homeowner's Association. Mr. Davis is hoping to see some trails or
walking paths through there.
Mr. Wood stated that on the homeowner's side a sidewalk trail will be built along
the entire distance of the drainage and common area, as well as some other
amenities such as landscaping and benches.
There were no other comments and Vice Chairman Schopper called for a motion.
James Laubacher, seconded by Ken Sapp, motioned to approve PS 2003-
37 subject to the engineer's comments with the recommendation that the
10-ft. utility easements shown on the front of the lots not be required. The
motion carried unanimously (5-0).

Zoning Commission on September 11th.
Existing Land Use/Site Attributes:
The site is currently vacant with grass as the primary vegetation.
TXU Overhead Transmission Lines:
As shown on the attached drawing submitted by the applicant, two small areas proposed
for residential zoning/development (one along Smithfield Road and the other along North
Tarrant Parkway) are heavily impacted by a TXU overhead transmission line easement.
This impact will limit or prevent any secondary use of these areas such as swimming
pools, out-buildings, playgrounds ... etc. or other activities normally associated with
residential development.
Thoroughfare Plan:
The site is located near the intersection of North Tarrant Parkway, a six-lane, divided,
principal arterial of 200' ROWand Smithfield Road, a four lane, undivided, collector street
of 68' ROW. The site has frontage along both streets.
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan indicates retail commercial uses for this area surrounding the
intersection of North Tarrant Parkway and Smithfield Road. The proposed use is not
consistent with the Plan, however, it does reflect a recent community-wide trend toward

PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A REQUEST FROM J & J NRH LIMITED
PARTNERSHIP FOR A ZONING CHANGE FROM "C-2" COMMERCIAL TO
"R-2" RESIDENTIAL LOCATED IN THE 7500 BLOCK OF NORTH TARRANT
PARKWAY (6.5 ACRES).
APPROVED
Dave Green, Zoning Administrator, summarized the case. This property is
located at the northeast corner of Smithfield Road and North Tarrant Parkway.
The request is to change the zoning from a "C2" Commercial to an "R2"
Residential for the purpose of building a single-family subdivision. The
Comprehensive plan shows commercial uses at this site. However, in the last
couple of years there have been numerous changes similar to this at
intersections. All Staff comments have been addressed. Staff recommends
approval.
Vice Chairman Schopper opened the public hearing.
John Barfield, applicant and owner, came forward. Mr. Barfield stated that he
has spoken with the homeowners in the Brandonwood I and II subdivision and
explained that Brandonwood III would be an extension of their neighborhood with
very little change. Each lot will be sold for $60,000 or more with $300,000 homes
. on site.
Vice Chairman Schopper asked if anyone else would like to speak in regards to
PZ 2003-12. There were none. Vice Chairman Schopper closed the public
hearing and called for a motion.
Ken Sapp, seconded by Richard Davis, motioned to approve PZ 2003-12.
The motion carried unanimously (5-0).

Subject: Public HearinQ to Consider a Request from Rivercrown Agenda Number: PS 2003-46
Investments to Approve the Final Plat of Lots 1 R & 2R, Block 1 Rivercrown Addition Located in
the 4800 Block of Susan Lee Lane (4.28 acres)
Case Summary:
The purpose of this replat is to consolidate 9 residential lots along Susan Lee Lane into 1
commercial lot (Lot 2R) and combine with an existing commercial lot (Lot 1 R) for the
expansion of the Huggins Honda Automobile Dealership.
Current Zoning:
Lot 1 R is zoned "C2" Commercial. Lot 2R was recently zoned to "PD" Planned Development
for "HC" Heavy Commercial uses (ref. PZ 2003-17).
Thoroughfare Plan:
Last year the applicant received permission to close Susan Lee Lane in the vicinity of the initial
expansion of the auto dealership (Phase I). This replat shifts the cul-de-sac termination of
Susan Lee further north to match the recently approved site plan (ref. PZ 2003-17).
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan was effectively changed to commercial use with the approval of "C-
2" zoning on Lot 1 R last year and the recent rezoning of Lot 2R to "PD" Planned Development
for "HC" Heavy Commercial uses.
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.
Public Hearing Requirement:
Proposed Lot 2R represents a residential replat. As such the Texas Local Government Code
requires that a public hearing be held on this plat prior to approval by the City Council. This
replat has been properly advertised for the public hearing.
Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation:
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their meeting on September 11, 2003,
recommended approval of PS 2003-46 by a vote of 5-0.

CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM RlVERCROWN INVESTMENT TO
APPROVE THE FINAL PLAT OF LOTS 1 R & 2R, BLOCK 1 RIVERCROWN
ADDITION LOCATED IN THE 4800 BLOCK OF SUSAN LEE LANE ( 4.28
ACRES).
APPROVED
Dave Green, Zoning Administrator, summarized the case. This property is
located along the westbound frontage road of Loop 820. The adjacent property
is the existing Huggins Honda Automobile Dealership. This is a piece of property
that Mr. Huggins had the rezoning approved in two different phases for the
purpose of expanding the current dealership. These were properties that were
divided into individual residential lots. Mr. Huggins is combining Phase I into Lot
1 R and Phase II into Lot 2R for the expansion. Staff recommends approval.
Mr. Davis stated that these lots were a part of a residential subdivision. Mr.
Davis thought a public hearing was required for this particular case.
Mr. Green stated that the Subdivision Code states that the Planning & Zoning
Commission will have a public hearing on a residential replat. Staff went through
this process earlier this year with a particular plat. As that plat went forward to
City Council, it was noted by the City Attorney that state law had changed. It was
no longer the Planning & Zoning Commission that had that purview, but the final
legislative board, which is the City Council.
Vice Chairman Schopper called for a motion.
Richard Davis, seconded by Brenda Cole, motioned to approve PS 2003-46.
The motion carried unanimously (5-0).

The recently approved expansion of the Huggins Honda dealership (Rivercrown Addition,

Because Susan Lee Lane is a public street, that portion that will be integrated must be
closed and the right-of-way abandoned. The remaining portion of Susan Lee Lane will
remain a public street and a cul-de-sac will be constructed to allow traffic to turn around.
Exhibits A and B (attached) identify the section of Susan Lee Lane that will be closed and
abandoned with this ordinance.

Department: Public Works
Council Meeting Date: 10/13/03
Subject: Approve City-Developer AQreement with HUQQins Honda Agenda Number: GN 2003-119
for Rivercrown Addition, Block 1, Lots 1 Rand 2R
The Huggins Honda expansion site plan was approved by City Council on September 11,
2003. Two site specific issues affect the site plan and require a City-Developer Agreement
to address.
The first issue is the future maintenance of the masonry screening wall which will be
installed on the east property line of the site. The wall was originally shown to be located
five feet to the west of the east property line because of an existing sanitary sewer that is
located in a ten foot wide easement centered on the east property line. Concerns were
raised by the Planning & Zoning Commission about how the five foot wide strip between
the wall and the property line would be maintained. In addition, concerns were raised
about the potential for the wall to be damaged when maintenance is performed on the
sewer main.
Subsequent investigations determined that the sanitary sewer is actually located
approximately five feet east of the property line (see attached) and that the wall could be
located on the property line. This new location eliminated the concern about mowing, but
did not eliminate the potential for the wall to be damaged during maintenance activities on
the sewer main.
The developer has agreed to execute a City-Developer Agreement that states the
developer will be responsible for maintenance of the wall and any repairs should the wall
be damaged during maintenance activities on the sewer main.
The second issue affecting the site is reimbursement of Community Development Block
Grant funds for the construction of Susan Lee Lane.
The land being used for the Huggins Honda expansion is a collection of individual
residential Jots that were purchased by the developer. All of the lots front on Susan Lee
Lane placing Susan Lee Lane in the center of the Huggins Honda development.

When the construction plans for Susan Lee Lane were originally being prepared, the
southern portion of the Huggins Honda project (Phase 1) was also under design. The
Susan Lee Lane plans were therefore prepared to eliminate the construction of Susan Lee
Lane inside Phase 1 of Huggins Honda.
Susan Lee Lane was then constructed. Subsequently, Huggins Honda purchased more
lots and added a second phase to the development. This second phase encompassed a
portion of the newly constructed Susan Lee Lane.
When this change to the Huggins Honda plan was made, it was determined that Huggins
would be required to reimburse the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
program for the cost of design and construction of the portion of Susan Lee Lane that will
be incorporated into Phase 2 of the development. The total amount of reimbursement was
calculated to be $49,402.72. This is based on the project cost of $296,403.09 for 1,456.24
linear feet of street or $203.54 per linear foot. The length of Susan Lee Lane that will be in
Phase 2 is 285.55 linear feet. This section is valued at 285.55/LF x $203.54 =
$58,120.85. The pavement is three years old so the value was depreciated 15% or
$58,120.85 x 85% = $49,402.72. The developer has agreed to reimburse the CDBG
program $49,402.72.
Recommendation: To approve the City-Developer Agreement with Huggins Honda for
Rivercrown Addition, Block 1, Lots 1 Rand 2R.

Subject: Public Hearing to Consider a Request from J. L. Steel L.P. Agenda Number: PZ2001-33R1
For a time extension to an Approved Special Use Permit for a Concrete Batch Plant Operation
Located at 6001 Dick Fisher Drive (1.87 acres approx.) - Ordinance No. 2746
Case Summary:
In December of 2001 a Special Use Permit (SUP) for the operation of a concrete batch
plant was granted to the applicant for a period of 24 months (February 2002-February
2004). The batch plant was to be used for the reconstruction and expansion of Rufe Snow
Drive. A site plan was also approved as part of the SUP (attached). Because of delays in
the Rufe Snow Project, the applicant is requesting an extension of the plant's operation
until September of 2004 (see attached letter).
PROPOSED USE: Unchanged
SITE PLAN: Unchanged
EXISTING ZONING: "1-1" Light Industrial
SURROUNDING ZONING I LANDUSE:
North: "U " / Vacant
East: "U" / City maintenance faculties
South: "1-2" / DART Rail, Kimberly Clark

RE: Request for Pemrit Extension
6001 N. Dick Fisher Drive
Dear Mr. Green:
Please reference the attached site plan. J.L. Steel, L.P. (JLS) is currently
utilizing Area III as a mobile concrete batch plant and a construction site field
office for the Rufe Snow reconstruction and expansion project.
Due to delays caused by the relocation of existing utilities, JLS is requesting
that the original permit be extended by an additional six (6) months. This would
allow JLS temporary use of the property until September 2004.
NRH's consideration of this request is greatly appreciated. Please contact JLS
at (817) 485-5474 with any questions.
Sincerely,
?!:."

PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A REQUEST FROM J. L. STEEL L. P. FOR
A REVISION TO AN APPROVED SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR A CONCRETE
SA TCH PLANT OPERATION LOCATED AT 6001 NORTH DICK FISHER
DRIVE.
APPROVED
Dave Green, Zoning Administrator, summarized the case. This is an existing
operation. In December of 2001, an SUP was approved for a temporary
Concrete Batch Plant Operation at this location. The purpose of this SUP was
for the work that is occurring on Rufe Snow. Staff has provided a letter from the
applicant stating that due to several issues that are associated with relocating
utilities along Rufe Snow, the project has fallen behind. The applicant is asking
for a time extension, from February 2004 to September 2004, which the applicant
believes is sufficient time to complete the project on Rufe Snow.
Vice Chairman Schopper opened the public hearing and asked if anyone would
like to speak in regards to PZ 2001-22R1. There were none. Vice Chairman
Schopper closed the public hearing and called for a motion.
James Laubacher, seconded by Ken Sapp , motioned to approve PZ 2001-
33R1. The motion carried unanimously (5-0).

Subject: Consideration of an Ordinance AmendinQ Chapter 16, Agenda Number: GN 2003- 120
Code of Ordinances, Relating to the Parking and Storage of Semi-Tractors and Trailers
Ordinance No. 2748
Council has commented to staff concerning the recent proliferation of semi trucks and
trailers that are being parked on private property as well as in public ROW throughout the
community. Council has directed staff to bring forward ordinance revisions that would
effectively deal with this situation.
During the staffs research of this issue it was discovered that parking regulations dealing
with this issue were haphazard, ambiguous, and located in portions of several ordinances.
In addition, the enforcement responsibilities of these regulations were ambiguous as well.
With the help of the Police Department, the Code Enforcement Division and the City
Attorney, staff has prepared an ordinance revising Chapter 16, Article V. Parking
Requirements, of the Code of Ordinances. The purpose of this revision is to provide one
location where these parking restrictions are located and to clarify the language.
Section (a) of the attached ordinance basically prohibits the storing or parking of a trailer,
tractor or combination of either on any public street or ROW unless engaged in a bona fide
pickup or delivery to that premise. Section (b) prohibits the storing or parking of a trailer,
tractor or combination of either on private properties including; any parking lot, playground,
vacant lot, public or private schools, church premises or residential property unless
engaged in a bona fide pickup or delivery to that premise.
The intent of these regulations is not to regulate truck or trailers associated with and
located on bona fide businesses such as Wal Mart, Target or Bates Container but rather
those truck or trailers that are not associated with the business where the parking is taking
place.
Enforcement of these regulations will initially be as follows: Code Enforcement will identify
those trucks or trailers that are in violation of the ordinance. Code will leave a notice

attached to all vehicles warning the owners of the violation. If the violation persists, Code
will process citations for all in-state registered vehicles without renotifying the owner of the
violation. The Police Department will process citations for all out of state registered
vehicles in the same manner. As this process matures the enforcement arrangement will
be reviewed and may be altered to give the greatest efficiency.

CITY OF
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
Department: Planning and Inspections
Council Meeting Date: Oct. 13, 2003
Subject: Apartment Maintenance and Inspection Program
Agenda Number: GN 2003-121
Ordinance No. 2743
In an effort to protect our citizens who reside in multi-family dwelling units and preserve the
quality of the neighborhoods we live in, staff proposes an apartment maintenance ordinance for
Council consideration.
The ordinance establishes a centralized contact person within the building inspection
department who will inspect multi-family housing units on a bi-annual basis and will field
individual complaints raised by apartment tenants. Apartment owners/managers will be
required to obtain an operating license to operate their facilities. As a license condition,
apartment units must be inspected and meet minimum standards as spelled out in the
ordinance. Failure to obtain and maintain a valid Multi-Family Operating License may result in
fines ranging up to $2000 depending on the nature of the deficiencies.
Items that must be approved prior to licensing will include (but are not limited to) the following:
1. Functional heat plants that maintain 70 degree temperatures
2. Functional plumbing fixtures
3. Window screens on operable windows
4. Repair and maintenance of exterior finishes (siding, brick, etc.) and roof coverings
5. Repair and maintenance of parking lots and fire lanes
6. Repair and maintenance of stairs, hand/guardrails, porches and verandas
7. Pest extermination
8. Garbage/refuse removal
9. Site hazards
10. Overcrowding prevention
11. Maintenance of fire alarm/fire sprinkler systems, including the installation of battery
powered detectors where none are currently present
12. Maintenance of various site related issues such as trip hazards, holes, tree limbs,
fences, retaining walls, swimming pools, etc.
The ordinance proposes a $1.00 per month per unit fee that will be collected as a part of the
apartment complex's water bill(s).
North Richland Hills is following suit with many cities throughout the DFW area that currently
have apartment maintenance programs in place. Other cities include Euless, Bedford, Hurst,
Richardson, Farmers Branch, Arlington, Corinth, and Fort Worth. This ordinance is closely
modeled after several of those programs.

Department: BudQet & Research
Council Meeting Date: 10/13/2003
Subject: Tarrant Appraisal District Board of Directors - Nomination Agenda Number: GN 2003-126
for Upcoming Election - Resolution No. 2003-080
During the August 25, 2003 Pre-Council meeting, Staff informed Council that the Tarrant
Appraisal District (TAD) would be conducting its Board of Directors election in December
of this year (please see the attached letter, which you received a copy of on August 25th).
As a quick reminder, the following are the steps in the election process:
1. Nominations must be made in an open meeting of the City Council in the form of
a resolution Æl October 15. 2003. If Council chooses to nominate one or more
individuals to the board, action will be necessary during toniQht's Council
meetinQ.
2. TAD will distribute ballots listing all nominees submitted by Tarrant County
taxing units by October 30, 2003.
3. Council would submit votes for the nominee(s) of their choice via resolution by
December 15, 2003 and the five nominees receiving the largest cumulative vote
totals are elected. Board members would then take office for a two-year term
beginning January 1, 2004.
Since our last discussion on this issue, Staff contacted all neighboring cities and local
school districts once again to determine who they will be supporting. Most cities and
school districts were undecided and Staff was able to obtain only two names. The name
most often mentioned was Mr. John Henry Clanton. Mr. Clanton is the only current TAD
board member to reside in Northeast Tarrant County and he also serves as a member of
the HEB I.S.D. Board of Trustees. To our knowledge, Mr. Clanton has done a good job
and has represented the Northeast Tarrant area well.
Recommendation
Should Council decide it desires to nominate someone to the TAD Board, it is
recommended that Resolution No. 2003-080 be approved with Mr. Clanton written in as
the City's nominee.

Dear Mr. Trevino:
The terms of service for our five members of the Board of Directors will expire on
December 31, 2003 and it is time to begin the process of conducting an election.
. Based on the amount of the 2002 adjusted tax levy imposed by each eligible taxing unit,
we have calculated the number of votes for your entity. The enclosed list will provide you with
that information.
The first step in the procedure is the nomination of candidates. Each voting unit may
nominate one candidate for each of the five positions to be filled. You are not required to make
any nomination or you may nominate any number up to five. The County Tax Assessor/Collector
is a member of the Board of Directors by law.
.
In order to be eligible to serve as directors, the 2004 nominees must have resided in the
Tarrant Appraisal District fOT at least two years prior to January 1,2004. They may serve on the
governing body of a taxing unit in the Tarrant Appraisal District and still be eligible to serve as a
Director. However, an employee of a taxing unit is prohibited from serving as a Director unless
that employee is also an elected official of the governing body. A Director may not be related to a
person who is in the business of appraising property for property tax purposes or represents
property owners in proceedings in the appraisal district or who is employed by the appraisal
district. A person is ineligible to serve as a director if he, or a business in which he has a
substantial interest, enters into a contract with the appraisal district or enter~ into a contract with
.a taxing unit in the district, if that contract relates to the performance of an activity governed by
Title I of the Texas Property Tax Code (for example, appraising property for tax purposes or
determining eligibility for exemptions). A substantial interest exists where the person and spouse
have a combined ownership of at least 10% of the voting stock or shares of a business, or

The purpose of this report is to seek the Mayor and Council's approval for the City
Manager to enter into a contract with an architectural firm to design the remodel of the
City's Fire Stations # 2 & 3. A Fire Station Architect Selection Committee was appointed
by the City Manager to evaluate the firms responding to the City's Request for
Qualifications for an architect to design the remodel of two existing fire stations in North
Richland Hills. The Committee consisted of Fire Chief Andy Jones, Jr., Fire Lt. Mike
Rawson, Police Capt. Mike Young, Library Director Steve Brown, Utility Service Manager
Angel Holbert, and Support Services Project Manager Ken Raney.
Executive Summary
The Fire Facility Upgrade Project was one of the City projects approved by voters in the
February 2003 Bond Election. Project Budget is $900,000.00 with $700,000.00 for
construction, $160,000 for land acquisition, design and engineering, and $40,000 for
equipment.
The Fire-Btation Architect Selection Committee went through an extensive, multi step
process to evaluate Architectural firms which provided us with packets expressing interest
in designing the remodels of Fire Stations # 2 and 3 for our City. The final results of the
evaluation process identified three firms that would be very capable to design the remodels
of our two fire stations. Those three firms are listed below in order of their ranking based
on a scoring methodology agreed upon and applied by each Committee Member.
1. Petrelli* associates, inc. and Cole + Russell Architects
2. Halff Associates
3. Wiginton Hooker Jeffry Architects
The scoring was close with only two points between # 1 and # 2 and eight points between
# 2 and # 3.

The Three Finalists
Petrelli *associates is a multifaceted design firm out of Arlington, offering services in
architecture, planning and interior design for 15 years and is led by the Principal of the
firm, J. W. "Bill" Petrelli, Jr. His partner for this project is Cole + Russell Architects out of
Cincinnati, Ohio led by Principal David Acomb. Cole + Russell is nationally known and
published for their innovative and cost effective fire station design concept called "training
by design." Together this design team has over 112 years of combined experience having
completed some 30 Fire Facilities. This design team has extensive municipal renovation
background including numerous fire station renovations. The Principals from both firms
have committed their undivided attention for this project.
Halff Associates is a large Texas based firm with offices in both Dallas and Austin. The
firm employs some 340 members including architects, engineers, landscape architects
surveyors and environmental scientists. Their design team would be led by Gregory G.
Schon, AlA, who in the last 15 years has been involved in some 30 fire station projects.
Halff Associates has been involved in municipal renovation projects for more than 50
years.
Wiginton, Hooker Jeffry Architects is a Dallas based full service architectural firm founded
in 1978 with extensive municipal design experience and specializing in fire station design.
A Principal of WHJ Architects, Mr. Tony Jeffry, AlA, is currently the design architect for the
City's two new Fire Stations. Mr. Jeffry has been involved in some 18 fire station projects
in the last 11 years. Although dealing primarily with new fire station construction, WHJ did
have some renovation experience with fire facilities.
The Process
The City of North Richland received packets from thirteen architectural firms expressing
interest in designing the remodels of our two fire stations. After an extensive four phase
evaluation process, the Committee identified the above referenced firms as those that best
responded to the City's RFQ and that best fit the City's needs. The evaluation phases
included both individual and group evaluations of the firms who submitted packets as well
as reference checks from past clients of these firms. Members from these three firms
were invited to make presentations to and be interviewed by the committee. The final
scoring of the three firms included consideration of all four phases of the evaluation
process.
Conclusion
In consideration of the Fire Station Architect Selection Committee's work and input in the
extensive evaluation process described in this report, the recommendation of the
Committee is to approve Resolution No. 2003-079 and enter into contract with the Petrelli*
associates, inc. and Cole + Russell Architects Team for our Fire Station remodel project.
The total amount being $122,000, which includes $90,000 for architectural services. This
contract fee includes architectural fees, civil engineering, surveying and platting, State
compliance services, contract cost estimating services and color rendering services.
These fees are well within the range expected for this size and type of municipal
renovation project. -
