Attached are two proposed amendments from City Attorney George Staples concerning political signs and nonconforming signs. The following is a synopsis of these amendments. Political Signs · Current regulations for political signs located in "AG" Agricultural and all "R" Residential Districts limit signs to no greater than six (6) square feet in size and three (3) feet in height. In all other zoning districts signs are limited to no greater than fifty (50) square feet in size and six (6) feet in height. The proposed amendment would eliminate these restrictions. · H.B.212 limits the ability of cities to regulate signs on private property to the size and height stated by this amendment. First amendment protections restrict cities from more stringently restricting political signs than the city restricts other signs. The city allows real estate signs on the weekends on public right-of-way. · Political signs placed in the public ROW are currently limited to less than three (3) square feet in size and must have the permission of the abutting property owner. The proposed amendment would permit signs in the ROW but limit them to less than three (3) feet in height and six (6) square feet of sign face for each side. Signs may be placed no closer than three (3) feet from the edge of the pavement. No permission of the abutting property owner is required by this amendment. Nonconforming Signs · Abandoned, on-premise, commercial signs must now be removed (without compensation) within thirty (30) days after the first anniversary (one year) of the date which the business ceases to operate unless the premises where the sign is contained is leased, in which case the sign shall be removed (without compensation) within thirty (30) days after the second anniversary (two years) of the date that a tenant ceases to operate. · On-premise signs identifying a business that ceases to operate shall not be altered to advertise another business unless the alterations conform to the city's sign regulations. Staff will discuss the impact of these amendments with the Council during the Pre-Council session. Ordinance amendments will be placed on upcoming agenda for the Council's consideration. ~~~U~ubmrrted' . ~ L~rry;Qunnì~ City Manager ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS e e e PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO SECTION 6 OF ORDINANCE 2374 TO CONFORM TO B.D. 212 Political SiD Restrictions 6.

C:\Documents and settiDgs\dgreen\Local Settings\Temporaty ~ Files\OLK5\SignsS.B.656 amenddoc INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR# 2003-085 ~ Date: August 11, 2003 T Subject: Discuss Ad Hoc Committee for Chemical Toilet Amendment Several home builders and Council want to review the Ordinance and Trinity Waste Contract that requires that Trinity Waste be the sole provider of chemical toilets at residential construction sites. Trinity Waste is hesitant to modify or eliminate this provision in their contract as they say that their bid prices for garbage service to North Richland Hills was partially based on their receiving revenues/profits from mandatory chemical toilets by their company. On the other side, some home builders are saying they have no flexibility in negotiating chemical toilet prices and they work in several cities and this causes problems for them. Since it seems that there are such differing views and this appears to be a matter of concern to Council and these two groups, it is suggested that Council consider approving a Council Ad Hoc Committee to review the chemical toilet issues discussed at the July 21 Council meeting. The Ad Hoc Committee would be charged with the responsibility of meeting with representatives from Trinity Waste and representatives of the Greater Fort Worth Home Builders Association to discuss chemical toilets and make recommendations to the Mayor and Council. It is recommended that the Ad Hoc Committee consist of three Council members. Per the Council Rules, the Mayor will appoint members of such City Council committees, subject to the approval of the Council. According to the Rules of Procedure, "any ad hoc committee so created shall cease to exist upon the accomplishment of the special purpose for which they were created, or when abolished by majority vote of the City Council. No ad hoc committee so appointed shall have powers other than advisory to the City Councilor the City manager, except as otherwise provided for in the City Charter" This item is placed on the Pre-Council to seek direction and preference on establishing an ad hoc Council committee for this purpose. Respectfully Submitted, ~U~ngham City Manager 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 RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS, HELD IN THE CITY HALL, 7301 NORTHEAST LOOP 820 - JULY 28, 2003 ~ e PRE-COUNCIL SESSION The City Council of the City of North Richland Hills, Texas met in Pre-Council session on the 28th day of July, 2003 at 5:45 p.m. in the Pre-Council Room prior to the 7:00 regular Council meeting.

Discuss items from Reqular July 28. 2003 City Council Meetinq Agenda Item 61 PAY 2003-003 - Councilman Whitson commented that the neighborhood was very satisfied with the improvements. e City Council Minutes July 28, 2003 Page 2 e Agenda Item 13 - GN 2003-077 - Councilwoman Johnson questioned why chemical toilets were included in the issue of removal of trash and debris from residential construction sites. Mayor Trevino advised council that staff was directed to talk about dumpsters and chemical toilets. During staff's discussion with Trinity they were adamant that the chemical toilets be sustained because it was included in their figures for the solid waste contract. Agenda Item 6g - PW 2003-011 - Councilwoman Johnson questioned if the hole in the street in front of the school would be repaired prior to school opening. Staff advised that the hole would be repaired before school starts. The project will not be completed before school starts, but staff is working with the school to facilitate the traffic flow. 2. IR 2003-079 Review Enhancements to Tommv and Sue Brown Park and Forrest Glen Fire Station Ms. Vickie Loftice, Assistant Parks Director, advised Council the Public Art Committee has selected the sculpture. Eliseo S. Garcia, for the public art commission at Tommy and Sue Brown Park and the Forest Glenn Fire Station. Ms. Loftice explained the theme for the two sites and introduced Mr. Garcia. Mr. Garcia presented Council with small scale sculpture pieces proposed for the two sites. Council consensus was to move forward with both designs. . 3. IR 2003-080 Review Athletic Field Ordinance Ms. Vickie Loftice, Assistant Parks Director, advised of the need to adopt an ordinance to protect and preserve the city's athletic game fields. Ms. Loftice explained the problem of practice teams playing on city game fields and damaging the fields prior to games and increasing maintenance costs. Ms. Loftice advised council that the Park Board voted to forward the proposed ordinance to the Council for consideration. The youth sports associations are also in support of the ordinance. Council agreed that an ordinance was needed to enforce violations on the use of fields that are closed for maintenance or field conditions. However, Council was concerned with referring users to practice fields in the neighborhood parks. There was extensive discussion on signage posted on athletic fields restricting the field for use with permit only and Council did not want to discourage the use of fields by local residents. Council suggested tabling the item and sending it back to the Park Board for further study. Attorney Staples suggested that Council approve the ordinance with the removal of subsection b and refer subsection b back to the Park Board for additional study. The Mayor suggested approving the ordinance with the inclusion of the names of the athletic fields in subsection a, removing b from the ordinance and sending back to the Parks Board for another recommendation. Formal action taken during the regular council meeting. 4.

APPROVED Mayor Trevino opened the Public Hearing and called for applicant to present the request. Mr. Gregory Dickens, GSWW, Inc., representing Marvin and Jill Smith, came forward to present the request and answer questions from the council. City Council Minutes July 28, 2003 Page 6 e Mr. David Green, Zoning Administrator, summarized the case and presented Planning & Zoning and Staff recommendations. Council was advised the applicant was subdividing the existing lot into two lots in order to build two single-family residences. The property is currently zoned R-1 residential. Because request is a change to an existing residential plat, state law requires a public hearing by City Council. The applicant has met all of Public Works requirements and the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval at their June 19 meeting. Mayor Trevino called for anyone wishing to speak in favor or against the request to come forward. There being no one wishing to speak Mayor Trevino closed the public hearing. COUNCILMAN METTS MOVED TO APPROVE PS 2003..27. COUNCILMAN WHITSON SECONDED THE MOTION. Motion to approve carried 6-0. 8.

The Planning & Zoning Commission reviewed the requirements and recommended on June 19 the approval of an amendment that will permit only side or rear entry garages in duplex districts. Councilwoman Johnson questioned if R-3 district should also be included in the ordinance. Staff advised they will determine if R-3 needs to be included and if so, they will bring it back to Council at a later date. Mayor Trevino opened the public hearing and called for anyone wishing to speak to come forward. There being no one wishing to speak Mayor Trevino closed the public hearing.

Resolution No. 2003-059 authorizes the grant application, names Captain Sid Johnson as the city's agent, appoints an Advisory Board and sets a public hearing for August 25, 2003. COUNCILMAN WHITSON MOVED TO APPROVE RESOLUTION No. 2003-G59, GN 2003-088. MAYOR PRO TEM TOLBERT SECONDED THE MOTION. Motion to approve carried 6-0. 10. GN 2003-086 CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE PROHIBITING THE PAINTING, STAINING, OR MARKING OF PUBLIC SIDEWALKS AND CURBS- ORDINANCE NO. 2721 APPROVED Mayor Trevino advised item was not a public hearing, but he had a couple of requests from individuals to speak. Mayor Pro Tem called for point of order and questioned if council needed to suspend the rules to allow the individuals to speak. Mayor Trevino asked Council if anyone had any objections to suspending the rules and recognizing the individuals wishing to speak. Council had no objections to hearing from the individuals. Mr. Dave Green, Zoning Administrator, explained the reason for the proposed ordinance and outlined the provisions of the ordinance. The amendment will prohibit an individual from staining, painting or marking any public sidewalk or curb. Exceptions are granted to public contractors or public utilities and it does not prohibit individuals from painting property addresses on the curb. The coloring or texturing of new or replacement sidewalks is also not prohibited. Mayor Trevino recognized Mr. Cal Smith and Ms. Bobbie Green to speak. City Council Minutes July 28, 2003 Page 8 e Mr. Smith was not present in the chambers and did not come forward. e e Ms. Bobbie Green, 1004 Rosewood Lane, Arlington, expressed her thanks to the council for the passage of the ordinance and requested a copy of the ordinance. COUNCILMAN WELCH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILWOMAN JOHNSON, TO APPROVE GN 2003-086. Motion to approve carried 6-0. 11. GN 2003-084 APPROVE CHANGE ORDER NO.1 TO THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT WITH AMERICAN CIVIL CONSTRUCTORS, INC. IN THE AMOUNT OF $62,464, FOR THE COTTONBEL T TRAIL PROJECT AMEND THE CIP BUDGET, EXECUTE THE SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH TXDOT AND APPROVE RESOLUTION NO. 2003-061 APPROVED Mr. Bill Thornton, Assistant Parks Director, presented the item to Council. Council awarded the Cottonbelt construction agreement for the ISTEA grant funded project jointly with the City of Colleyville. During a pre-construction meeting with representatives from DART, TxDOT, FWWR, City of Colleyville and the contractor ACC, FWWR advised that the Federal Railroad Administration had adopted new safety regulations requiring certified flagmen to be present during the course of any construction activities within 25 feet of the railroad tracks. Since the majority of the trail within North Richland Hills requires flagmen to be present during construction, the financial impact is at a cost of $400 per day for each day of construction at each location construction is occurring. FWWR has to provide certification training to the contractor's employees reducing the potential impact. The proposed change order represents the costs for training, rental of radio equipment and the required personnel to perform flagman duties. Staff was able to increase the grant by $100,000 through NCTCOG's Strategic Program Initiative. The additional grant funding requires a $21,000 match by the City. Staff's recommendation is to approve the change order in the amount of $62,424 to the construction contract, approve a CIP budget amendment allocating $21,000 to the Cottonbelt Project account and approve the resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the change order and supplemental agreement. COUNCILMAN WHITSON MOVED TO APPROVE RESOLUTION No. 2003-061. COUNCILWOMAN JOHNSON SECONDED THE MOTION. Motion to approve carried 6-0. City Council Minutes July 28, 2003 Page 9 e 12. GN 2003-085 APPROVAL OF ATHLETIC FIELDS REGULATION ORDINANCE NO. 2723 DENIED Ms. Vickie Loftice, Assistant Parks Director, advised the Park and Recreation Board was recommending the approval of an ordinance that will protect the city's high-quality game fields by prohibiting entry on closed or restricted athletic fields. COUNCILMAN LEWIS MOVED TO DENY ORDINANCE No. 2722. COUNCILMAN LEWIS ADVISED AS CURRENTLY WRITTEN THE ORDINANCE WAS TOO RESTRICTIVE AND REQUESTED IT BE SENT BACK TO THE PARK AND RECREATION BOARD FOR REVIEW. MAYOR PRO TEM TOLBERT SECONDED THE MOTION. Motion to approve carried 6-0. 13'. GN 2003-077 REVISE GARBAGE COLLECTION ORDINANCE NO. 2715 (POSTPONED AT THE JULY 14 CITY COUNCIL MEETING) APPROVED e Mayor Trevino asked Council if they would like to suspend the rules and hear from those wishing to speak. There were no objections from the Council. Ms. Karen Bostic advised item is in follow up to the July 14 Council meeting. Ms. Bostic advised council that several residential homebuilders had concerns about Ordinance No. 2688 that required homebuilders to use Trinity Waste for removal of trash and debris from residential construction sites. The homebuilders in some cases haul their own residential construction debris while others contract with third parties who clean the construction sites, load the debris into containers, and haul off the containers of debris. Other concerns of the homebuilders are the increase in cost and response time from Trinity Waste. Staff met with representatives from Trinity Waste on several occasions to discuss issues of the homebuilders. Staff and Trinity have come to a compromise and City Attorney George Staples reviewed the contract to determine if allowing a "turn- key" type of service would be a violation of the contract. The City Attorney does not believe that allowing this type of service would be in violation of the contract with Trinity Waste, especially since they do not provide this same level of service. Ms. Bostic advised council that turn-key is defined as a package service provided by a company whose primary business is involves placing their own containers (or using an approved container), having their own employees clean up the construction site, depositing debris in the containers and hauling off the debris. The fees associated to operate in North Richland Hills are: $25.00 for builder to haul their own debris, $25.00 for providers that haul debris by means other than a metal container and trash truck, and $100.00 per e e e e City Council Minutes July 28, 2003 Page 10 year, plus an additional $15.00 per residential unit being serviced for those providers that have their own metal containers and use trash tracks. Staff discussed with Trinity Waste the concerns about chemical toilets. Trinity assured us that they are still in the chemical toilet business and the bid for the solid waste contract included revenues for chemical toilets. Staff reviewed this and it appears it may be a violation of the contract to allow another vendor to provide chemical toilets. Ms. Bostic advised council that staff reviewed the ordinance with one of the builders on Thursday and slight modifications were made to the ordinance. The revised ordinance with modifications were handed out to council this evening. Mayor Trevino recognized Scott Sandlin. Scott Sandlin, 5709 Moore Lake Court, Colleyville, Texas. Mr. Sandlin advised council he represents himself as a business owner in North Richland Hills as well as representing Greater Fort Worth Builders Association. Mr. Sandlin said that on behalf of the Builders Association he would like to support Ordinance No. 2715, but asked that section 11-14 (c) not include any fees or permits, because he feels that any fees placed upon contractors is not appropriate. Mr. Sandlin said that he builds in four different counties and thirteen cities and no city requires or mandates who he can use for contractors. Mr. Sandlin said that the franchise contract says the City agrees to require that sanitation services be provided at all residential construction sites. The contract does not stipulate who will provide sanitation services. Mr. Sandlin has talked to the Texas Association of Builders attorney, his attorney and Mr. Staples and they agree that the contract can not be enforced that states Trinity must provide the services. Mr. Sandlin asked council to direct staff to amend Ordinance No. 2688 to allow other portable toilet companies to do business in North Richland Hills. Mayor Trevino asked Mr. Cunningham if staff could revisit the portable toilet portion of this ordinance at a later date. Mr. Cunningham advised staff could revisit this issue at a later time. He believes that staff will need to look very closely at the contract, because he thinks at this particular time there is some concern that it could potentially be a violation of the contract. Mayor Trevino asked council if they would like staff to revisit this item at a later date. Council consensus was to revisit the ordinance as it pertains to portable toilets at a later time. Mayor Pro Tem Tolbert announced that Sandra McClaughlin wanted to record her support for this ordinance. Councilman Whitson asked if someone from staff could comment on section 11-14 (c). Mr. Cunningham said one of the concerns is to make sure that the City has equity with Trinity because they are the City's service provider for solid waste. Staff felt that establishing the permit fee for the turn-key service would be equitable and comparable e e City Council Minutes July 28,2003 Page 11 to what Trinity would be paying in franchise fees for providing this service or similar service. Therefore the City would not be jeopardizing any contractual relationship or be unfair to individuals who were providing like service. The permit fee is a registration process to ensure that the City does not have additional bandit operators. Mayor Pro Tem Tolbert asked for clarification on fees. Mr. Cunningham advised the $25.00 fee is for those individuals or companies who haul from construction sites. The $100.00 fee pertains to companies or individuals whose primary business is the clearing, cleaning and removal of residential construction debris using metal containers. In addition to the $100.00 the company or individual must also pay $15.00 for each residential unit they service. Mayor Pro Tem Tolbert asked staff to consider $100.00 per year, but not require the $15.00 per residential unit. Mr. Cunningham said the primary concern is to provide equity. Staff could use the same basis that is used in franchise (4% of their billing). Staff believed the permit fee would be an easier process, but the city could charge the annual permit plus 4% of their billing. Councilman Tim Welch said the City has to protect both Trinity and the builders. Councilman Welch suggested aIÍ application fee of $50.00 to track companies doing business in the city. Councilman Tim Welch thinks the residential fee should be eliminated and would like to see all fees eliminated except the $50.00 for application. Councilman Metts does not believe that a builder who hauls his own debris should pay a permit fee. COUNCILMAN TIM WELCH MOVED TO APPROVE GN 2003-077 AND MODIFY THE LANGUAGE ON SECTION 11..14 (c) THAT THE PERMIT FEE FOR INDIVIDUALS OR COMPANIES FOR APPUCATION AND REGISTERING THEIR COMPANY BE $50.00 PER YEAR AND OTHER FEES BE REMOVED FROM THAT SECTION. MAYOR PRO TEM TOLBERT SECONDED THE MOTION. Mayor Pro T em Tolbert asked that prior to issuance of the permit the following be required. (1) that they own metal containers; (2) that they have personnel to clean; and (3) they do not engage in business for removing or transporting of solid waste. Motion to approve carried 6-0. 14.

Staff Review: The Development Review Committee has reviewed the plat and has determined that it complies with both the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances. Attached is a memo from the Public Works Department stating that all staff concerns have been addressed. Current Zoning: The site was rezoned to "R-2" Residential in April (ref. PZ 2003-02). Thoroughfare Plan: The site will be accessed from Kirk Lane, a two-lane, local street with 50' ROW. Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan was effectively changed to low density residential with the approval of PZ 2003-02. The plat is consistent with the revised Plan. Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation: The Planning and Zoning Commission at their meeting on, July 17, 2003, recommended approval of PS 2003-34 by a vote of 6-0.

The Commission saw this property as a preliminary plat and rezoning case in March of 2003. On that plat and rezoning there was a frontage area on Precinct Line Road, which was zoned for Commercial purpOses. The zoning was changed to "R-2" for residential uses. The minimum lot size is 9000 square feet and the minimum house size is 2000 square feet. The subdivision comes up off of Kirk Lane with a series of cul-de-sacs and 31 lots total. A letter from Public Works states that all of City Staff issues have been addressed and Staff recommends approval of this final plat. Dick Blackard, Stinson Development, came forward. Mr. Blackard stated that he is present if the Commission or Staff has any questions or concerns. Mr. Schopper wondered who would maintain the open space on Lot 14. Mr. Blackard answered that it was his understanding that the City will, as part of the open space program. Mr. Schopper asked Mr. Blackard if he was going to dedicate the lot or deed it to the City. Mr. Blackard stated that it was automatically dedicated by the plat. Anything that is for public use is automatically dedicated by the plat. Chairman Bowen called for a motion.

Rumfield Survey, Abstract No. 1365 - Ordinance No. 2728 Agenda Number: GN 2003-090 The sanitary sewer system required to serve the Royal Oaks Addition was designed with an offsite system that extended from Spring Oak Drive east to Precinct Line Road. During construction, the developer's engineer determined that it was possible to redesign the offsite system so that it was not necessary to construct the system all the way to Precinct Line Road. Because of this change in the design, it became necessary to acquire an easement for the new alignment (Exhibit "B") as well as abandon the two existing sanitary easements (Exhibit "A") for the old alignment. The easement for the revised alignment has been acquired from the property owner. Recommendation: To approve Ordinance No. 2728. Finance Review Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)

PZ 2003-15 PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A REQUEST FROM S.H. & L. JOINT VENTURE FOR A ZONING CHANGE FROM "AG" AGRICULTURAL TO "R-2" RESIDENTIAL LOCATED IN THE 8400-8500 BLOCK OF NORTH TARRANT PARKWAY (1.98 ACRES). APPROVED . Dave Green, Zoning Administrator, summarized the case. The first case (PZ 2003-15) and the second case (PS 2003-28) are connected. The property for rezoning is located in the 8400-8500 block of North Tarrant Parkway. The area directly to the south and across North Tarrant Parkway is Forest Glenn East Subdivision. To the east and west are existing subdivisions as well. The property in question is a small strip, 1.98 acres in size. The applicant is requesting that the property be rezoned from "AG" Agricultural to "R-2" Residential. The reason for the rezoning is the strip of land is connected to 8.00 acres of property, which is currently zoned "R-2" Residential. The applicant would like to combine the two properties into a total of 10 acres for residential development. This property would be known as Forest Glenn North Addition. The Comprehensive Plan shows that all of this property and the surrounding properties to be single-family, detached, low density residential. This rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Chairman Bowen opened the public hearing and asked if anyone would like to speak in favor of this case. Gloria Wood, 8400 Shady Oaks Drive, came forward. Mrs. Wood stated that she is in favor of the project, but would like more information on the name of the home builders that would be building in Forest Glenn North. Chairman Bowen explained to Mrs. Wood, that she needs to contact the developer of the project, because the developer would have the information she is requesting. . Stan Key, 8413 Castle Creek Road, came forward. Mr. Key is concerned about the drainage for Forest Glenn North. Forest Glenn North is lower than the property Mr. Key resides at in the Shady Oaks Subdivision, Block 1, Lot 15. Mr. Key wondered how drainage will be fixed to accommodate Forest Glenn North. Mr. Key explained that he purchased his home two years ago with the understanding that the property in question would not be developed due to a flood zone, Mr. Key is also concerned with the location of utilities. Mr. Key explained that he has an easement to the back of his property, but is unclear of who owns it. Mr. Key wonders who is responsible for cleaning this easement which is 7 % - feet to 10 - feet deep. Located in the easement is a large oak tree that is more than 100 years old that shades Mr. Key's property from the west. . Mr. Key is concerned for the oak tree and what will happen to it. If possible Mr. Key would like to enclose his fence around the easement with the oak tree and maintain the property. Chairman Bowen stated to Mr. Key that there is currently a drainage channel that runs through the proposed subdivision and connects to another drainage channel that runs along the northern portion of the property, Lance Barton, Asst. Director of Public Works, stated that the natural drainage pattern for this property is to drain toward the center into an existing drainage channel. Based on Mr. Barton's knowledge of the site, the drainage will continue in that general pattern. The lots that back up to the Shady Oaks Subdivision will drain towards the cul-de-sac in Forest Glenn North. Mr. Barton stated that he believes that drainage will not be a problem. Mr. Barton explained that in regards to Mr. Key's easement, a 7 % - foot utility easement in the rear of the property is a standard requirement on all subdivision lots. This easement is Mr. Key's property and the property can be fenced in with Mr. Key's backyard, Mr. Barton also addressed the concerns of this property being in a flood plain. Mr. Barton explained that this property is in a flood plain, but the developer will be reclaiming this land through the construction of the channel, bringing it out of the flood plain in order for it to be developable. This process is ongoing, a letter of a map revision and the associated flood studies has been sent to FEMA for review. Public Works is expecting those results, which will allow this to happen. Mr. . Barton stated that in this area, utilities are placed underground. Mr. Key stated that he is worried about the trees. Mr. Barton explained that from a developer's point of view, trees are very valuable to the land. Utility easements are there for the use of the utility companies and there is always a possibility that one of those companies may utilize it. Mr. Davis stated that the utility easement could be routed around the large Oak tree. Mr, Barton agreed that there are always options available, especially since these are deep lots, Chairman Bowen closed the public hearing and called for a motion. Brenda Cole, seconded by Richard Davis, motioned to approve PZ 2003-15. The motion carried unanimously (6-0). . . . . . . .

PZ 2003-19 PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A REQUEST FROM KIRBY COX FOR A ZONING CHANGE FROM "AG" AGRICULTURAL TO "R-1-S" SPECIAL SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOCATED AT 8601 CARDINAL LANE (3.34 ACRES). APPROVED Dave Green, Zoning Administrator, summarized the case. This is a request to rezone a tract of land from "AG" Agricultural to "R-1-S" Special Single Family Residential. The property is located at 8601 Cardinal Lane, north of Mid-Cities Boulevard. The reason for the rezoning is to rebuild a single-family home on the site. Mr, and Mrs. Cox have lived in a single-family structure on this site for many years. Last Christmas, Mr. and Mrs. Cox lost there home to a fire. The entire house was destroyed. Mr. and Mrs. Cox have dealt with the insurance company and those matters have been settled. However, Mr. and Mrs. Cox applied for the appropriate building permits to rebuild their home only to find out this particular property had never been platted and is currently not zoned for residential use. Mr. and Mrs. Cox are requesting a rezoning of the tract for the purpose of rebuilding their home. The platting of the property is something that will be coming to Staff very soon and Staff intends to push the platting process forward to the Planning and Zoning Commission followed by City Council as quickly as possible. . Mr. Schopper asked Mr. Green if there was anything specific that needs to be done to the Master Plan. Mr. Green stated that the Comprehensive Plan shows Neighborhood Service type uses from Mid-Cities Boulevard to the back edge of this property. Each time an action is taken to recommend a rezoning of a piece of property from the Planning and Zoning Commission that is different from the Comprehensive Plan, the City Attorney always includes those languages on the ordinance that adopts the change that "you hereby are changing the Comprehensive Plan". The change is recognized in a formal matter by the time it gets to City Council. Chairman Bowen opened the public hearing and asked if anyone would like to speak in favor of this case. . Mr. Cox, 8601 Cardinal Lane, came forward. Mr. Cox stated that he and his wife had lived on this property for 32 years and in North Richland Hills for 35 years. Mr. Cox stated that on Christmas morning, his wife awoke to the house being on fire and Mrs. Cox is recognized as a national hero for pulling her husband out of the house as the house crumbled before them. It made local and national news. Mr. Cox continued to state that they want to rebuild what they lost, maybe even a little bit better, Mr, Cox was unaware of the land not being platted and of the zoning situation. Mr. Cox assumed that he was grandfathered in this situation. Mr. Cox stated that he does not have a problem with what needs to be done in . order to have his home built. However, time is of the essence. Chairman Bowen closed the public hearing. Brenda Cole, seconded by James Laubacher, motioned to approve PZ 2003-19. The motion carried unanimously (6-0). . . 'I .. .

A published notice will be required for each public hearing as per the City Charter and State law. The exact wording for each notice accompanies this cover sheet. Each hearing is set for August 25, 2003 beginning at 6: 15 p.m. for the Crime Control and Prevention District, 6:30 p.m. for the Park and Recreation Facilities Development Corporation, and 7:00 p.m. for the City Budget. Because the proposed tax rate of 57¢ does not exceed 3% of the effective tax rate, we are not required to hold a public hearing on the proposed tax rate as we have in the past. We do however still have to publish the effective tax rate calculation in the Star Telegram. In the past we have had to adopt the budget and tax rate the meeting following the one where we held the public hearings. This is because by law we could not adopt the tax rate any earlier than 3 days or later than 14 days after the public hearing. Since we are not required to hold the tax rate public hearing this year, we can adopt the proposed operating budgets on August 25, 2003, the same night the hearings are held. Recommendation: To set the date for the public hearings on the Crime Control and Prevention District at 6:15 p.m., the Park and Recreation Facilities Development Corporation at 6:30 p.m., and the annual City Budget at 7:00 p.m. on August 25, 2003.

The request was made because the currently configured Ballpark Road is an extension on an existing section of Newman Drive and the name change occurs between the two side streets. The developer of Hometown NRH West - Phase 2 has agreed and has asked that we proceed with the requested name change. Because this is a new street, no houses are on it and therefore no residents will be required to change addresses. Recommendation: To approve Ordinance No. 2727.

Staff has had a request regarding the possibility of a lien compromise on a piece of property and is considering such. As a result of that request, we have researched the matter and found that authority for settlements by the City Manager does not exist in the present City Code. After discussion with City Attorney George Staples, he indicated that such authority should be granted to certain limits. The proposed ordinance before you authorizes the compromise and settlement of liens by the City Manager in amounts not to exceed $15,000 upon the recommendation by the City Attorney. Any action taken on excess amounts would be required to go before the City Council. Staff does not believe this would be a problem since these actions occur rarely and does not believe it would be a matter that would place more on the Council Agenda or create an undue workload at either level.
