City Secretary () (}Jj~~Á~ By --"".- INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 2002-979 \* Date: May 28, 2002 Subject: Night of Holiday Magic 2002 With the success of last year's "Night of Holiday Magic, " the Christmas Committee is already planning and discussing ways to improve and enhance the event for 2002. The intent is to make this the signature event for NRH. The committee has the following recommendations and suggestions for your consideration: · Move the event to a Saturday, in this year's case, December 7th. A suggestion would be to hold this event the first Saturday in December of each year so that our citizens will come to look forward to the event and can plan ahead to attend. By holding the event on Saturday we are able to expand the hours for the actual event. · Expand the event from 2 hours to 5 hours. The committee feels that to expand and invest in a signature event for NRH, the event itself needs to include more time for children's activities, live music and entertainment. By starting the event at 4:00 p.m. we hope to reduce the long lines experienced last year in the children's activities area and also reduce the immediate on rush of parking since most attendees arrived at approximately the same time last year for the tree- lighting. The entertainment would begin with a well-known Texas band, hopefully Brave Combo, followed by a "big name" entertainer or band that would perform from 7:00- 9:00 p.m. .~ · Continue with the Fireworks display. The committee recommends the continuation of fireworks since it added a magical quality to the event and was appreciated by the attendees. · Place all children's activities under one large 60x40 tent. The committee is recommending locating all of the children's activities in one location and under a festival style tent to provide better lighting and crowd control. The children's area will be expanded to include a bounce house, interactive activities, additional Christmas arts and crafts and favorite children's characters mingling among the crowd to provide additional photos opportunities for families. We would also like to purchase an additional Reindeer for photo sessions to shorten the wait for parents. The committee is also planning to invite non-profit organizations in providing additional activities for children. " · Parking and Transportation. Parking and efficient access to parking was a challenge last year with the significant increase in attendance. This year, the availability of the land west of the complex for parking is uncertain. Remote parking will most likely be a necessity resulting in the rental of three 40-passenger buses. Considerations for remote parking include Richfield Park and Birdville High School. Kimberly Clark will also be considered for off-site parking where smaller shuttles may be used. The committee appreciates the support and guidance of Mayor and Council and welcomes any suggestions. Respectfully Submitted: 0' ""-" Vickie Loftice Assistant Park & Recreation Director ~Î/~~ Pam Burney Environmental Servi es Director ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 2002-078 + Date: May 28,2002 Subject: Consider Changes to Sign Ordinance City Council has brought up a number of concerns regarding the sign ordinance. Staff has completed a survey of area cities and would like to make a presentation and suggest basic changes to the sign ordinance. The proposed changes are in line with area cities and promote consistency for allowing sign advertising for local businesses. Generally the proposed changes will allow more identification and directional signs for larger shopping centers, schools and entertainment related venues. We are recommending that pole signs be restricted to the freeway overlay district and large multi- tenant centers. Wall signs and monument signs are recommended to be consistent with area cities. We are also recommending the addition of special wall signs in the Town Center district. One area that will require some explanation and clarification is the non conforming sign ordinance. We are restricted to state regulations in this area and are prohibited from requiring the removal of non-conforming signs without compensation. We think the above mentioned changes support the Councils overall goals of Quality Development & Redevelopment yet allow for adequate advertising and exposure for our local businesses. Staff is seeking Council direction and would like to bring back a draft ordinance for formal approval. Sincerely, JQ~ John Pitstick Development Director llSSUEDBY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS RECOMMENDED CHANGES TO SIGN ORDINANCE WALL SIGNS - Recommending 15% of habitable wall space for a maximum of two wall fronts and not allowing signs in the back of the building. MONUMENT SIGNS - Recommending 7' high, 75 square foot sign, 7 foot setback POLE SIGNS - Recommending to only allow pole signs in the Freeway Overlay Zone and Multi-tenant centers above 150,000 square feet TEMPORARY PORTABLE SIGNS - Recommending 10 days once a year per business with option for either portable sign or banner sign WINDOW ADVERTISING - Not recommending regulations for windows, very difficult to enforce, most cities do not have regulations DIRECTIONAL SIGNS - Recommending more liberal allowance for directional signs for multi-tenant centers TOWN CENTER SIGNS - Recommending adding special blade, awning and directional signs SIGNS IN RIGHT OF WAY- Recommending Directional Signs and Seasonal Banners to advertise entertainment related venues (NRH20, Blueline, Mountasia, North Hills Mall, Iron Horse) Schools allowed light pole banners directly in front of school campus. NON CONFORMING SIGNS - Recommending purchase and removal of selected non-conforming pole signs. Current State law prohibits removal of signs without compensation.

Slurry seal application was included as part of this program. The City of Hurst has bid an annual contract for this type of application program and the bid was awarded to Viking Construction, Inc. in the amount of $1.40 per square yard. At the January 8,2001 meeting, Council authorized participation in an interlocal agreement with the City of Hurst. The City may take advantage of cost savings by participating in this contract with the City of Hurst. The list of streets that were included in the 2002 Preventative Street Maintenance Program for slurry seal application are attached. The City was able to get the same unit cost ($1.40 per square yard) for its streets. The total cost to North Richland Hills for this application through the City of Hurst contract with Viking Construction will be $85,386. "- The Local Government Code states that purchases made through a cooperative purchasing agreement satisfies any State law that would require the City to solicit competitive bids. Participation in this program will be cost effective to the City as well as save Staff time. Recommendation: To authorize participation in the City of Hurst contract for the annual slurry seal application with Viking Construction and approve Resolution No. 2002-042 authorizing the City Manager to execute the contract.

This Steering Committee will participate in rate cases as they come before the Public Utility Commission and would advocate a position on behalf of cities and their citizens. The resolution would also authorize that we pay a per capita rate to the committee of 10¢ with payments of that amount not to be made more than one time per year. Presently there is one case that is filed before the PUC regarding electric rates to citizens of North Richland Hills. While the City of North Richland Hills has participated in the electric restructuring markets and has opted for lower priced electricity, most residents of North Richland Hills continue to get their electricity from TXU and so their rates are subject to these increases. By participating in this, we allow ourselves to represent the needs and concerns of our citizens. Recommendation: To adopt Resolution No. 2002-044 authorizing the participation of the city and payment of dues to the TXU Cities Standing Steering Committee and designates Greg Vick as the Steering Committee's representative.

Construction, for the approval of the Final Plat of Lots 1-30, Block 1, Lots 1-14, Block 2 Woodland Estates Addition located in the 6600 block of Crane Road. (14.70 acres) Case Summary: Mr. Scott Shambacher, representing S.T.S. Construction is requesting approval of the Final Plat of Lots 1-30, Block 1, Lots 1-14, Block 2 Woodland Estates Addition. This site was final platted as Block 6, Nob Hill Addition in May of 1986. At that time a street connection was proposed to future residential development north of this site. This street connection was ultimately not adopted by the subdivision developments to the north and the site became landlocked. The purpose of this requsst is to revise the existing plat by adding a public street connection to Crane Road. 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 concerning this plat from the Public Works Department. The applicant has addressed these comments with the attached revised plat. "'-. Special Site Circumstances: The site was the former location of Sonricker Oil Company, an oil reclamation facility that ceased operations in 1976. The site has been implicated as having environmental issues resulting from the operation of this former facility. Attached are several letters from the city staff and the property owner concerning these issues. Also attached is a memo from George Staples, City Attorney, commenting on the city's scope of responsibility in approving this plat and the issuance of construction permits. Current Zoning: The current zoning of the site is R-2 Residential Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan indicates low density residential uses for this area. The proposed use is consistent with the Plan Right Of Way: No ~dditional street ROW is proposed by this plat except for the street connection (Cedar Way) to Crane Road. Utilities: No issues concerning the extension of utilities to the site have been identified. r- Finance Review Account Number Sufficient Funds Available Finance Director ~~ PS 2001-44 Woodland Estates CC Page 1 of 2 r ',,-.

A request to revise the FEMA Floodplain Maps by removing, this area from the floodplain has been made. No other drainage issues have been identified by staff. . Traffic/Access: Access to the interior of this plat is proposed by~ a single street connection (Cedar Way) to Crane Road. Tree Preservation: No tree surveys or landscaping plans have been submitted to staff for review to determine preservation status. This information will be provided during the permit process. Parkland Dedication Fee: Subdivision replats are not subject to Park Dedication Fees RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning Commission at their meeting on May 9, 2002, recommended approval of PS 2001- 44 by a vote of 6-0 with the following stipulation: 1) No bUilding permits to be issued until developer has received official, notification documents from the TNRCC indicating the site's environmental issues have been resolved.

CITY COUNCIL ACTION ITEM PS 2001-44 Woodland Estates CC Page 2 of 2 , - -~..__._..- _._~._- '- MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council, City of North Richland Hills CC: Larry Cunningham, City Manager FROM: George A. Staples, Attorney DATE: May 21,2002 RE: Woodland Estates DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD I have been asked by city staff to address issues with regard to appropriate action concerning both this pending plat, and eventual construction permit issuance for this subdivision. This is actually a replat plus a small area not included in the original approved plat. The replat was made necessary by the City's action in approving another plat which removed the only access to the subdivision. Because of this, it was necessary to provide other access. Your previous attorney agreed that no escrow for Crane Road improvements should be collected, and because of the City's actions in making it necessary to provide access from Crane Road, I agree. There have been expressed concerns about environmental issues affecting three or four lots located near the west and central portion of the subdivision, which were part of the original plat. At this point, we have no evidence of any condition which would warrant refusal of construction of either public facilities or homes. The city has been advised that there was an operation on this site more than 25 years ago involving reprocessing or reclaiming oil. We have no ordinances which would generally regulate or restrict environmental hazards, and no mechanism for requiring environmental assessments as a part of our approval process. We have no evidence that there is any environmental hazard of any kind, and I have found no State or Federal laws that assign the city a role in the matter. City staff has requested that the developer, as well as the TNRCC (Texas Natural Resource and Conservation Commission), provide information, but neither has been forthcoming. I have advised Mike Curtis that we should notify the Environmental Protection Agency of our concerns, as they have the authority to halt any development if there is a problem. He has done so. The current issue is plat approval. The P&Z put a condition on their plat approval recommendation making approval "contingent upon satisfying environmental concerns. This is not, in my opinion, effective. The city can only approve or disapprove plats, and the State statute on platting requires plats be approved if they meet all the city's plans and ordinances; staff says that the submitted plat does so. The plat must be either approved or disapproved within a limited time period, or it is deemed approved as a matter of law. It is imperative that the Council either approve or disapprove. If there is any evidence of a hazardous condition, even though we have no mechanism to do so, I would be prepared to defend refusal of building permits, and I believe a court would probably sustain this if we can demonstrate that granting the permit would create a danger to persons who would live on the property. I would rather defend this, however, than the denial of a plat. In my opinion, staff has done everything it can to investigate and report the problem to agencies with enforcement power. If the Council wants to question the developer about the pollution issue and how he intends to address it, this is permissible, and I have been advised by the developer that he is prepared to do so.

Final Plat Woodland Estates Addition (17,70 acres) -. - .- - - .- - - -- - - ~ I ...... . <ib ,. ..' ~~-". -"- ;I. I"'~ - -. -- -. . PS 2001-44 CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM S.T.S. CONSTRUCTION, INC. FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE FINAL PLAT OF WOODLAND ESTATES ADDITION LOCATED IN THE 6700 BLOCK OF CRANE ROAD (17.70 ACRES) APPROVED Planner Dave Green explained to the Commission that this request involves a piece of property that already has an approved final plat. That plat was approved in 1986 for Block 6 ofNob Hill Addition. At that time, the plat showed a street connection on the north end connecting to adjacent subdivisions. The subdivisions to the north were approved and built but did not include the street connection. The purpose of this plat is to show a public street connection from this tract to Crane Road. This subdivision consists of 44 lots zoned R-2. The residential uses are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Staff recommends approval. Mr. Tucker inquired as to when Crane Road will be updated. Mike Curtis, Director of Public Works, replied that the City is currently acquiring right- of-way. It is classified as a minor collector street and will be widened to 40 feet. Construction will begin mid to late summer. Mr. Welch stated that on the previous final plat there was an existing 50-foot drainage easement that tied into Woodland Oaks 7Rl and 8Rl, and came down through Cedar Crest drive, exiting between Lots 18 and 19. Mr. Welch wondered if it is necessary for the easements to remain 50-foot wide on Lots 8 and 9 and 18 and 19? Mr. Curtis replied that the construction plans are still being reviewed. The applicant has not turned in a CLOMR (Conditional Letter of Map Revision) for this property. Part of the property is located in a flood plain. Instead of turning in a CLOMR, the applicant has elected to show the 100-year flood plain in a drainage easement. That drainage easement bisects the two lots in the southeast comer. From a building permits issue, it would be easier for staff to keep record of those two lots if the entire lots were shown as the drainage easement until the developer comes forward with the CLOMR, and, eventually, the LOMR (Letter of Map Revision), which would take that property out of the flood plain. The 50-foot would remain after the LOMR is approved and that property is out of the flood plain. Mr. Welch replied that his concern is that in Woodland Oaks between Lots 7Rl and 8Rl there is about a 20-foot concrete flume and he would not like to see a continuation of that flume down between Lots 8 and 9 and punching out into the streets. He realizes that quite a bit of drainage comes over to that point from the Woodland Terrace Addition and Southridge Estates, but there is nothing but concrete flumes back there, and Mr. Welch would like to see it collected in an enclosed system and taken down through the subdivision and stubbed out to the south. Mr. Curtis replied that from everything he has seen, it will not be in a flume, but will be underground. Since they haven't done the CLOMR, staff doesn't know yet how they are proposing to do the offsite. Mr. Nehring asked for an update on the environmental situation in that area. Mr. Curtis replied that City staff received a call from TNRCC who stated that there are some environmental issues with that property. Staff asked for specifics, but to-date has not received anything in writing from TNRCC. TNRCC has tested some samples taken from the site. City staff has contacted the developer for information. The property owner has informed the City that they are planning on complying with the TNRCC regulations and that they are not subject to City reviews or approvals. This issue was discussed with the City Attorney and he stated that if there are environmental issues, this platting is not going to negatively impact any adjacent property owners or general public. Mr. Nehring asked whether this matter is only between TNRCC and the developer. If the City were not involved, would TNRCC and/or the developer notify the City of the findings/results? Mr. Curtis stated that this may be a question for the City Attorney to answer, but to the best of Mr. Curtis's understanding, for the purpose of this platting issue, the environmental issues are between TNRCC and the property owner. Mr. Nehring inquired as to whether or not approving the plat has anything to do with the environmental problem. Mr. Curtis replied that according to the City Attorney, approving this plat does not have anything to do with the TNRCC issues. Mr. Welch asked if the developer has provided any information to the City regarding his plans to clean up this site. Mr. Curtis stated "no" -- other than a statement from the developer in which he has stated that he plans to comply with TNRCC, and the applicant feels that his issues with TNRCC do not concern the City. Mr. Welch stated that they do concern the City because the streets are going to be dedicated to the City of North Richland Hills, and the City is going to have water and sewer lines installed in the streets, which is a public safety concern. He asked the applicant to come forward and address these issues. Scott Shambacher, 1525 Bentcreek Drive in Southlake came forward and stated that TNRCC contacted him when he started to do brush clean up at the site. He stated that TRNCC's approach was a little overbearing in that they came forward with tests from 1989. Mr. Shambacher said that the property owner has had tests performed as recently as six months ago. The property owner feels that TRNCC needs to prove his guilt rather than the owner proving his innocence. The owner has documentation that says the site is clean. The owner feels that there may be a couple of areas of concern, but before negotiation can take place on how to clean it up, TNRCC needs to approach the owner in the proper way and they haven't done that. The owner has hired an attorney who is dealing with TNRCC and has asked TNRCC to produce facts. Mr. Shambacher stated that the site would be cleaned up prior to the beginning of any construction. They do not want liability. Mr. Nehring asked if they would inform the City Staff once they receive the total results and clearance from TNRCC. Mr. Shambacher replied affirmatively. He stated that they would not commence with building permits until the City receives the right documentation from the property owner or TNRCC. Mr. Bowen asked if the applicant understands that approval tonight changes only the surface of the plat but does not allow the applicant to turn dirt? Mr. Shambacher stated that they understand. He stated that they also understand the controversy with the neighbors. He stated that they would educate the surrounding neighbors with facts at the right time. Chairman Bowen stated that this is not a public hearing but if any of the neighbors were present and had questions, they could come forward and ask their questions. There were none and Chairman Bowen asked for consideration on PS 2001-44 with the understanding that this is only a change in the face of the plat. Mr. Nehring, seconded by Mr. Laubacher, made a motion to approve PS 2001-44 with the stipulation that no work permits will be issued until the developer has received official clearance notification documents from TNRCC. The motion was approved unanimously (6-0).

BLOCK 6 TNRCC Notice The Owner's position regarding the subject land has not changed and is not affected by your conversations with ML Jim Kerlin of TNRCC" The subject land is platted and zoned as 46 lots (See Final Plat dated May 12, 1986) which was approved, adopted and filed of record by the NRH Mayor and the Planning and Zoning Commission of NRH. As you may confirm with the City Attorney, Mr. Rex McEntire, these platted City of NRH lots each have a legal description of record and the owners thereof have paid all the City of NRH and associated taxes thereupon for the years since including the present year. Your comments regarding illegal samples characterized by Jim Kerlin as "oily sludge" is an outrageous misrepresentation to 'Nhich he may be subject to liabilities. Your suggestion to use this illegal hearsay to further delay and deprive the owners of their absolute fee simple interests in these platted and dedicated lots is also outrageous and will surely lead the City of North Richland Hills into serious legal confrontation. It is not our purpose here to detail our separate analysis, reports (dated 1999) and the earlier site restorations that followed the December 1992 report you mentioned, but rather to simply move all parties forward to complete the replat now in progress which is the City's obligation. The City of North Richland Hills cannot.. .be forced to suspend all development plan and replatting reviews in progress...on the subject 46 lots. It was at the request of the city that the owner disregard the prior illegal acts of the City and file a replat. In the earlier closing of the subdivision entrance and denying the owner access to their taxed and legally recorded and subdivided property the City did so with written intent to replat. By copy of this letter to the City Attorney, Mr. McEntire and the City Manager, we hereby request on behalf of the owners of these lots that the City of North Richland Hills complete their review and approval of the new replat of the lots as scheduled and currently in review. We have had several prior oral and written communications with the City Manager, and the Assistant City Manager, the Director of Development and the City Attorney. None of which suggested that the City has legislated, environmental authority. .\:\IERIC,,"' EQLlTIES FI'.-\'CL\L CORPOR.\TIO" 600 E" Carpenter Freeway" Suite 301 .

Curtis The owners of the land have spent over $100,000 to obtain the new, revised, replat to overcome the inappropriate action of the City (PS96-27). In PS96-27 the City of NRH upon closing our subdivision's recorded, platted entrance further states...the developer... be allowed to replat...with ingress/egress from Crane Road. This action cost the owner another $100,000 in losses because the replatting caused by and requested by the City of NRH destroyed t'NO building lots to create a new entrance causing a sales revenue loss of conservatively, $100,000. It is the position of the owner that the City is required to complete the replatting of the lots and only legal descriptions from those lots as they appear on the current tax records can be used to identify the property in question. But more importantly, the City is NOT AT LIBERTY nor in authority to suspend the current replat nor can it legally shelve the activity for the reasons you mention. The owners planned and prior owners remediation work is NOT subject to the City of North Richland Hills by law, but is and 'Nill continue to be remediated under the direction of the appropriate State of Texas agencies. We therefore, respectfully request that by copy of this letter to the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, Director of Development and City Attorney that we proceed to reply to your revisions of our latest technical engineering drawings (\.Nhich show the reduction from 46 to 44 lots). This action will fulfill the commitment and request of the City Council cited above. Thank you for your prompt and kind response. We look forward to meeting 'Nith all the city staff to clarify that there are t'NO separate and distinct actions presently related to these platted building lots. These are: (1) the replat in progress under the direction of the City; and, separately and apart thereof, (2) the continued remediation work which has been in various stages of progress since the lab report your letter references (Dec. 1992), which may be necessary to complete on a few identified clean-up lots.

The TNRCC has also provided the City with a copy of an Environmental Site Assessment Soil Investigation Report dated December 1992. The report indicates that the site has been environmentally impacted by the former operation of an oil refining facility. The report concludes that there is an oily sludge over an extensive area of the property just beneath the surface soil. In response, the City issued a letter to Mr. Richard Cope (CC: Mr. Jim Kerlin, TNRCC, and Mr. Scott Schambacher, STS Construction) on December 10, 2001 summarizing the TNRCC's requirements for the remediation of the site. (A copy of the letter and the soil investigation report is attached.) Because of the potential of hazardous contaminants and liability, the City cannot approve the construction plans or allow early grading until a Clean Up Certificate or Closure Letter is obtained from the TNRCC. This document will state that the developer has met the Texas Risk Reduction Program as required by the TNRCC. In an effort to expedite the development process, Public Works has reviewed the construction plans submitted on October 26,2001. We offer the following comments.

Mr. Kerlin also provided the City with a copy of an Environmental Site Assessment Soil Investigation report dated December 1992 that indicates the property has been environmentally impacted by the former operation of an oil refining facility. The report concludes that there is an oily sludge over an extensive area of the property from one to seven feet below the surface. According to Mr. Kerlin, the TNRCC has taken a sample of the oily sludge to be tested for hazardous contaminates. As of this date, the results of the lab test have not been completed. I will ask Mr. Kerlin for copies of the lab results after they are completed. Mr. Kerlin also informed me that he met with representatives of the developer on Tuesday, December 4, 2001 to discuss the developer's recourse in complying with the Texas Risk Reduction Program. I understand that you or your representatives are evaluating this. Because of the potential of hazardous contaminates and liability the City is forced to suspend all development plan reviews and early grading permits until a Clean Up Certificate or Closure Letter is provided from the TNRCC. The certificate or letter will need to indicate that the developer has met the Texas Risk Reduction Program. If you would like to discuss this issue further, I can be reached at 817-427-6400. My discussions will be limited to the planned development. I will be inviting Mr. Kerlin to attend any meetings that involve discussions pertaining to the "environmental issues", Respectfully, l l ' ~ ' ; . ,,' (u _ '- 17J Mike Curtis, .E.

I understand your concerns and hope the information below helps to address your questions. The property owner is currently in the process of replatting the property and developing a residential subdivision. The owner has submitted construction plans for review to the Engineering Department. Prior to receiving approval by the City to begin any work, the contractor for the property owner started excavating the property, City staff forced the contractor to stop all work and to provide the appropriate documentation for reviews and approval to obtain the necessary permits. While he was providing the documentation to the City a representative for the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) made a site inspection, The TNRCC representative determined that the contractor had dug deep enough to uncover an oily sludge. Mr. Jim Kerlin from the TRNCC contacted the City during this time to inform the City what had taken place. He also mailed the City a copy of an Environmental Site Assessment Soil Investigation report dated December 1992. Mr. Kerlin said the TNRCC has taken samples of an oily sludge to test for hazardous materials. As of this date, the results of the lab test have not been completed. I will ask Mr. Kerlin for copies of the lab results after they are completed. Mr. Kerlin also informed me that he met with representatives for the developer on Tuesday, December 4, 2001 to discuss the developer's recourse. It is my understanding that the developer is currently reviewing his options. Whichever plan of action is taken, the developer will be required to meet the Texas Risk Reduction Program. This program will require the developer to remove the contaminants or disclose that the sludge exists below the surface.

APPROVED Planner Dave Green stated that this is a subdivision for industrial type use. It is located just off Browning Drive very near a common city limit line with Haltom City along the very western edge of the site. A preliminary plat of this site was approved late last year that included more land further to the north, but at this time, the applicant is coming forward and asking for approval of Final Plat of just four lots adjacent to Browning with Collins Drive running north and south between Blocks 1 & 2. The proposed use and zoning are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Staff recommends approval, but once the property to the north is brought forward to platting Collins Drive will need to be extended to the north and brought to the east to connect with an existing street or the alternative is to end Collins Drive in a cul-de-sac. Chairman Bowen asked if the developer is aware of the requirement to extend the street or end it in a cul-de-sac. Mr. Green replied affirmatively. The Chairman asked for questions. There were none and the Chairman called for a motion. Mr. Nehring, seconded by Mr. Laubacher, motioned to approve PZ 2002-20.

Case Summary: Mark Wood representing Rebel Properties III Ltd. is requesting approval of the Final Plat of Lots 1 through 13, Block 1, Lots 1 through 22, Block 2, and Lot 1, Block 3, Glenwyck Villas Addition. The purpose of the plat is to prepare the site for a residential subdivision development. 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's concerns have been addressed. Revisions to approved Preliminary Plat: The developers of this site had purchased a portion of land owned by Charity Church of North Richland Hills to include with this subdivision (southeast portion of plat). This land is shown as Lots 14-17, Block 1 on the approved preliminary plat. The church's property, however, is already part of an existing platted lot (Lot ~ Block 3 Nortex Addition). To clarify any confusion and uncertainty associated with either plat, the applicant has included the remainder of the church's property (including the church's building site) with the Glenwyck Villas Final Plat as Lot 18, Block 1 (see attached letter from Washington & Associates). Public Hearing Requirement: The replatting of Lot 1, Block 3 of the Nortex Addition into Lots 14-18, Block 1 of the Glenwyck Villas Addition increases the number of residential lots over that approved by the original Nortex Addition. In situations where a replat of an existina residential subdivision increases the number of lots from the original plat. state law reauires a public hearing and a 15 day notice to all property owners within 200 feet of these proposed additional lots before approving this portion of the final plat. This situation was not discovered until after the Planning and Zoning Commission approved the Final Plat of this addition on 5/9/02. In an effort to proceed as quickly as possible in the completion of this final plat, staff is recommending approval of this final plat less and except Lots 14-18. Block 1.

This has been discussed with both the applicant (Mr. Woods) and the City Attorney and they concur this will expedite the final platting of Lots 14-18, Block 1 as required by State law. Current Zoning: The current zoning of the site is PD Planned Development for single family residential uses on minimum 5,400 square foot lots. Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan indicates low density residential uses for this area. The proposed use is consistent with the Plan Right Of Way: Glenview Drive is listed as a four lane, undivided, collector street (C4U) by the Thoroughfare Plan. The total width of R.O.W. for a collector street is 68' of which the applicant is responsible for one half or 34'. The plat shows ROW dedication along Glenview Drive to meet this requirement. Utilities: No issues concerning the extension of utilities to the site have been identified. Flood or Drainage: The original PD site plan (ref. PZ 2001-16) and preliminary plat (ref. PS 2001-37) approved for this site had noted Lot 22, Block 2 to be a common area for use as a drainage detention site. Since the approval of the preliminary plat, the applicant's engineer has been able to obtain drainage easements on property east öf this site and will be installing a storm drainage system. (see attached letter from Washington & Associates). The result of this action is ',",at the drainage detention pond on lot 22 is no longer necessary and the lot will be developed for '--. esidential use. Traffic/Access: Access to this proposed area is by two access points, one from Glenview Drive and the other from Harmonson Road. Tree Preservation: No tree surveys or landscaping plans have been submitted to staff for review to determine preservation status. This information will be provided during the permit process. Parkland Dedication Fee: Park fees in the amount of $600 per residential lot will be accessed as individual building permits are issued. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning Commission at their meeting on May 9,2002, recommended approval of PS 2002-21 by a vote of 6-0.

FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE FINAL PLAT OF LOTS 1-18, BLOCK 1, AND LOTS 1-22, BLOCK 2, GLENWYCK VILLAS ADDITION LOCATED IN THE 6400 BLOCK OF GLENVIEW DRIVE (8.53 ACRES). Planner Dave Green explained that there was a planned development approved on this site last year as well as a preliminary plat approved more recently. This is the final plat for the site. The first change from the preliminary plat and PD involve drainage. Originally, Lot 22 was designated as a common space to be used as drainage detention. The applicants' engineer has obtained some drainage easements in a different portion of the plat that alleviates the need for Lot 22 to be drainage detention so that lot will be used for residential development. The second change is that Lot 18 was not included on the preliminary plat or the PD. That oversight is being corrected at this time. The third change is that Lots 14 to 17 of Block 1 were originally platted as an individual lot in a different subdivision. The applicants obtained those lots and included them, along with Lot 18, with this plat. This use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Staff recommends approval. Mr. Welch asked if the development will have a homeowners association. Mr. Green stated that an HOA was required by Council for the maintenance of the common areas, as well as the maintenance of the fencing along the common western boundary . There were no other questions and the Chairman called for a motion. Mr. Welch, seconded by Mr. Tucker, motioned to approve PS 2002-21. The motion was approved unanimously (6-0). Chairman Bowen complimented the developer for being able to get rid of the detention pond.

COVER SHEET: An Engineer's seal has been added to the Cover Sheet and an engineering certification has been added to the Drainage Area Map. FINAL PLAT: Lot 18, Block 2 is a portion of LotI, Block 3, Nortex Addition. The developers purchased the north 200 feet of Lot 1, block 3, Nortex Addition and (~onveyed to the church a 15 foot strip along the west side of Lot 1, Block 3, Nortex Addition. Ordinance requires that lot be replatted so we included it with our plat and the church will also sign the plat. Lot 22, Block 2 was originally a detention basin but upon request of the Planning and Zoning commission and the City Council the developers pursued and attained drainage easements on the property east of the addition and is instaJlling the storm drainage system as proposed on the Master Drainage Plan so consequently the detention basin is no longer required. A proposed storm drain is located between Lots 13 and 14, Block 1. A 10- foot easement is provided on these lots and the Surveyor has been directl~d to label it as a drainage and utility easement. Additional easements have been acquired for the off-site storm drain and copies are attached. Dallas. Texas' Fort Worth.

The site is located in the 6400-6500 block of Rufe Snow Drive and is currently zoned C..2 Commercial. The proposed use require~ approval of a SUP and site plan due to the adjacent residential zoning. The two facilities are located on separate platted lots and are capable of being developed independent of each other. Building Design and Materials - The proposed development consists of both an automatic drive-through car wash and a self serve faeility. The automatic wash facility is located on the north portion of the site and consists of a single-story, drive-through building. The self-serve facility (located on the south side of the site) consists of 6 wash bays with vacuum stations. This structure will be separated from the existing retail development located to the south by 4'-7' of concrete pavement. Primary building materials for both structures consists of split-face CMU with smooth face \...-. CMU used for accents. Roof construction for both structures consists of a pre-finished galvanized standing seam metal roof with an 8/12 pitch. Neither building is of sufficient size to be required to meet the architectural standards of the Zoning Ordinance. The site plan also notes two, entryway "tower gates" one of which is a c.lock tower. Both of these structures will be constructed with the same materials as the primary buildings. Access and Parking - A single 37' access point for both facilities is provided to Rufe Snow Drive. This point re,places an existing access point and cross access easement to the adjacent retail development. The applicant was rE!Quested to prepare a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) for staff to review. Attached is the executive summary of this analysis along with a response letter from the City's traffic consultant Kim,ley-Horn. City staff will be available to answer questions concerning this report. Finance Review Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)

An existing row of parking spaces in the southwest corner of the site will be ."--..." retained. Landscaping/Screening - The site has residential adjacency along the entire eastern property line. This situation requires the installation of a 15' landscape buffer and masonry wall along the entire common boundary. This site, however, is unique in that a 50' Exxon/Mobil Gas pipeline easement also parallels this same boundary. Of this 50' easement, 25' is located on the applicant's property and 25' on the adjacent residential properties (rear yards). Exxon/Mobil Oil has specific rules regarding the placement of fencing and landscaping within their pipeline easements. Basically, masonry walls and trees are not permitted. Landscaping is limited to shrubs that have a mature height of less than 3' and are located at least 10' away from the underground pipeline. Because of this unique situation, the applicant has proposed a series of shrubs along the very western edge of the pipeline easement and is proposing to replace the existing rear wood fencing of the adjacent residences with a 6' cedar wood fence with cap. Staff feels that these proposals by the applicant represent a good faith effort to comply both with Exxon/Mobil and the City's requirements. The landscape plan also proposes a 15' landscape setback along the Rufe Snow frontage. This setback and prop()sed landscaping meet the current requirements of the Landscape Ordinance. Signage/Lighting - Two monument signs (one for each wash facility) are proposed along the Rufe Snow Drive frontage. Both signs are of masonry construction and are 110 square feet in size with a maximum of 75 feet of sign surface area (meets Ordinance regulations). ',-. Staff recommends that one monument sign be permitted for the entire development as opposed to one sign for each wash facility. The applicant's site plan does not provide any specific detail concerning exterior lighting. Comprehensive Plan - The Comprehensive Plan recommends retail uses for this site. Automobile-related uses are typically ~ssociated with c()mmercial rather than purely retail uses. Because of this the proposed use is considered more intense than that proposed by the Plan. Zoning/Land Use - The site is currently zoned C-2 and is vacant. In 1998 a Special Use Permit (SUP) was approved for a North: East: South: West: R-3/Residential R-3/Residential SUP for self-serve laundry/Retail City of Watauga "",. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning Commission at-their meeting on April 25, 2002, recommended approval of PZ 2002-04 by a vote of 4-0 with the following stipulation: 1) Construct an 8', stained, cedar wood fence (with cap ) along the entire east boundary of the site. To approve PZ 2002-04 a Special Use Permit (SUP) for a car wash in a C-2 Commercial District as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission.

CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS By: Charles Scoma, Mayor W:\No hRichlandHills\General\Ordinances\MapChange.SUP.ord.wpd 2 PZ 2002-04 PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A SPECIAL USE PERMIT (SUP) REQUEST FROM VINCENT JARRARD OF EDG ARCHITECTS FOR A CAR WASH IN A C-2 COMMERCIAL DISTRICT. THE SITE IS L()CA TED AT 6450 AND 6500 RUFE SNOW DRIVE (1.6 ACRES). Dave Green stated that this is a request for a car wash development on property that is currently zoned C-2 Commercial requiring a Special Use Permit (SUP). The proposed development is divided into two car wash facilities. One facility, located on the north half of the site, is an automatic, completely enclosed, wash facility. The other facility, located on the south half of the site, is proposed as a six bay self-serve facility with vacuuming stations. Both facilities will access Rufe Snow Drive from a single ingress/egress point. Parallel to the entire east boundary line of this site is an Exxon/Mobile gas pipeline easement, located partially on applicant's property and partially on the adjacent single family property to the east. Because of the residential adjacency along this border, a 6' masonry screening wall with a 15' landscape buffer is required. Exxon/Mobil, however, will not permit a masonry wall on their ~3asement and they require all landscaping to be limited to a maximum of 3' in height and located at least 10' off of the pipeline location. In response to these requirements, the applicant has limited all proposed landscaping to a maximum height of 3' and has located it along the west side of the easement. In addition, the applicant has proposed a 6' cedar fence (with cap) for a screening wall. This proposed fence would replace the existing rear fences of the adjacent residences along the site's east boundary line. Mr. Green noted that the property owner of the existing, adjacent retail building located to the south of the self-serve wash facility had expressed some concerns about the proposed architecture of the development. The property owner, Mr. Rudd, has submitted a letter requestin!~ additional time to review the applicant's proposal. Scott Turnage asked how far north and south are existing access points from this property? Mike Curtis, Director of Public Works, stated that there are other access points to this retail area located to the south of the applicant's property and that an access point, as shown, would be permitted. Scott Turnage asked if the right and left turnout was in compliance with our traffic consultant? Mr. Curtis affirmed that the City's traffic consultant is in agreement with the design. Chairman Don Bowen opened the public hearing, Vincent Jarrard addressed the issues that came up on behalf of Cavillino Properties Ltd. The driveway location has an existing easement, which corresponds with the current driveway. The deve!loper designed the plans with the driveway in mind. On the parking agreement issue, Mr. Jarrard has been in contact with their attorney regarding any existing parking agreements with adjacent properties. Regarding the adjacent owner and his concerns, Mr. Jarrard said that his questions were raised at the last minute, but does not believe they are serious in nature. Mr. Jarrard continued to explain the project with regards to building materials, parking, and orientation with adjacent retail uses. Mr. Jarrard noted that the applicant would like to place a monument sign on each lot because it was felt that the project consisted of two facilities. Regarding the proposed landscaping, Mr. Jarrard noted that the city requires 15% of the site to be landscaped, the applicant currently has 22% on lot 7 and 52% on lot 3R. The site also complies with the 15' landscape setback along Rufe Snow Drive in addition to the 15' landscape buffer along the east boundary. Exterior building materials consists of smooth faced CMU with textured stone accents. He also noted that the site plan included a clock tower at the entrance to the development that he felt created a gateway to the site. Bill Mitchell, the developer, presented the concept of the proposed automatic car wash facility and stated that he had done this with other communities with positive results. A normal automatic car wash comes with about 30 employees. This car wash would require only 5 employees at a maximum. The customer stays in the car for the entire wash, lowering the liability on the car and the cost of the wash. Mr. Mitchell feels that the area needs some improvement with 1960's, 70's, and 80's architecture currently in place. Also, he wants visibility for the tenants and is placing the building a certain way to achieve this, as well as protect the fire lanes and the flow of traffic. Chairman Don Bowen closed the public hearing. Tim Welch stated that he likes the building architecture, but wanted to know if the applicant had talked to the residential neighbors behind them? Mr. Mitchell said no, due to the distance of the neighborhood. Tim Welch questioned the circulation of Rufe Snow and what the hours of operation would be. Mr. Mitchell stated that the drive through car wash will operate 8 a.m, to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Tim Welch asked about noise levels for the residential area? Mr. Mitchell stated that the car wash was sel'f-contained with little noise especially because of the distance between them and the nearby neighborhood. He stated that because of newer technology, any resulting noise would be minimal. Vincent Jarrard stated that the current traffic from Rufe Snow is noisy and that it could be argued that the facility would actually create a noise buffer. Tim Welch suggested an 8' vs. 6' wooden fence. Scott Turnage stated that there is nothing worse than a wooden fence when it rots. Is there any way we can do anything else such as masonry? Bill Mitchell explained that Exxon/Mobil said no to the masonry fence, however Mr. Mitchell would be more than happy to stain the wooden fence. Vincent Jarrard added that the original plan was with a masonry fence, but Exxon/Mobil said no from the beginning and that is when a 6' wooden fence was suggested and agreed upon. James Laubacher wanted to know if cities normally yield to Exxon/Mobil regarding easements and fences and other requirements? If so, does staff have any examples? Mr. Green gave an example from the City of Arlington regarding required landscaping for a PO development that crossed a Exxon/Mobil easement. Mr. Green stated that Exxon/Mobil's response was similar as in this situation. Mr. Green went on to note that it was his understanding that in past situations involving conflicts between gas pipeline companies and city regulations, the pipeline companies had usually prevailed. As pipelines currently run throughout the Metroplex, pipeline companies have an interest in making sure that consistent guidelines are followed. James Laubacher asked if anyone else on staff has run into anything similar with Exxon/Mobil? Mike Curtis stated that he has dealt with Exxon/Mobil regarding various utility crossings before. He stated that Exxon/Mobil was pretty stringent. He did note that Exxon/Mobil is more lenient, however, when improvements cross easements rather than paralleling them such as in this situation. Tim Welch asked if the residents behind the area were notified? Mr, Green replied by stating that the request was advertised to all property owners within 200' of the site as required by law and in fact there had been some calls to City Staff regarding the notification signs. There were no noted complaints. James Laubacher asked if the lots were separated, would each, separately meet parking regulations? Mr. Green replied that the two properties are autonomous with regards to parking. Scott Turnage, seconded by James Laubacher, motioned to approve PZ 2002-04 with the stipulation that the applicant construct an 8 foot, stained, cedar fence (with cap). The motion was approved unanimously (4-0). Chairman Don Bowen asked if the ordinance will modify the Comprehensive Land Use Plan? John Pitstick, Director of Development responded yes and that the adopting Ordinance changing the zoning would note that approval of this request would amend the Comprehensive Plan.

The center is bordered by Rufe Snow Drive to the west and Mid-Cities Boulevard to the south. The development will contain an express. exterior only, automated car wash and a self service car wash with six wash bays. There will also be six bays that can be used for vacuuming and cleaning the inside of the vehicle before or after it has been washed. Typically, vehicles will enter the site from Rufe Snow Drive and will be directed to the back. or w~st side, of the building. Two lanes have been provided along the west side of the building for vehicles to queue up. Payment will be made at a drive-up window at the north end of the west side of the building. The driver will then make a u-turn and pull the vehicle into the building where the vehicle will be washed and dried. Vehicles are moved through the building on a conveyor belt type device. This process could take anywhere from one and one-half minutes up to three minutes depending on the processing speed set by the operator. The car wash has the capability of washing three vehicles at anyone time. thereby producing a clean vehicle every 30 seconds which provides a maximum capacity of 120 vehicles per hour, The maximum number of employees working at a given time should not exceed five, Eight parking spaces are available for use on the site. The land is currently zoned as C-1 and C-2. This car wash is expected to be completed within one year. When analyzing traffic impacts in the area, the year 2003 was selected as the design horizon year, This should represent a worst case condition as the future widening of Rufe Snow Drive will provide additional capacity in the area. The site plan for this development is provided in Figure 1, Traffic Engineering Study for Express Wash Development Page :: INTRODUCTION This traffic study was conducted to analyze the traffic impacts of the planned Express Wash Development in North Richland Hills. Texas. The specific focus of this study was to detennine the impact at the access driveway to the car wash. This analysis was required according to City of North Richland Hills Ordinance #2461. Executive Summary The Express Wash Development will be located north of Mid-Cities Boulevard and east of Rufe Snow Drive in North Richland Hills. The study area intersection for this project consisted of the driveway into the car wash. The Express Wash Development will be located on approximately 1.38 acres. It is estimated that 446 weekday trips. 874 Saturday trips. and 700 Sunday trips will be generated by this development. To accommodate these trips. one main access point is provided - a driveway off of Rufe Snow Drive. Access is also available through several existing driveways into the shopping center parking lot from Rutè Snow Drive and Mid-Cities Boulevard. With two major arterial roadways intersecting near this development. the site will have good accessibility from all directions under horizon year conditions. This site was analyzed under different scenarios using the existing and projected traffic volumes, Capacity analyses were performed at the drive\vay in the study area using the Saturday 12 PM hour volumes under horizon year (Year 2003) conditions. The unsignalized access location to the Express Wash Development is predicted to operate at acceptable levels under horizon year conditions under the worst case scenario. On-site circulation was also reviewed". Queueing analyses were done to predict the 95th percentile queue that may fonn at the entry to the express car wash. Results of these analyses indicated that a queue of three vehicles would be exceeded less than five percent of the time. The site has ample room to store that many vehicles without impeding any other movements within the site. There do not appear to be any adverse impacts to area roadways or intersections due to the traffic generated by the Express Wash Development.

City of North Richland Hills - Director of Public Works 7301 N.E. Loop 820 North Richland Hills, Texas 76180 Re: Express Wash Development Traffic Impact Analysis Review Dear Mr. Curtis: Per your request, we have reviewed the traffic impact analysis prepared for the proposed Express Wash development located northeast of the intersection of Rufe Snow Dr. and Mid-Cities Blvd. Based on our review we offer the following comments: 1) Although the trip generation rates and calculated number of trips reasonable based on a comparison with ITE's Trip Generation, the infonnation used to determine trip generation was not provided in the report. In this case, the report states that the developer provided trip generation infonnation based on existing facilities in Texas. A summary of the results of the developer's study, if used for trip generation, should be included in the report. 2) No capacity analysis "results are given for the study area signalized intersection of Rufe Snow and Mid-Cities. With the development in place, the low volumes generated by the site should not have a significant impact on the existing level of service. 3) Due to the nature of the development, the Saturday peak period is the most critical to the adjacent roadway network. Saturday traffic counts were not collected along Rufe Snow or at the intersection of Rufe Snow and Mid- Cities. Intersection turning movement counts were estimated based on a comparison of Davis Boulevard and College Circle. The resulting traffic volumes seem reasonable, but it is not clear as to the method they were derived. Also, the raw count reports for all intersections were not provided with the report. When new traffic counts are not perfonned, the method used to detennine these volumes should be more clearly defined. 4) Based on the site plan provided, it is unclear as to how this site will interact with neighboring developments, such as the existing shopping center shown to the south of this development. On Figure 2, it appears that multiple . TEL 817 335 6511 MET 817 654 4266 FAX 817 335 5070 ~=~ Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. Mr" Mike Curtis, PÆ.. April 15,2002, Page 2 driveway openings exist along the east side of Rufe Snow, south of the site. No infonnation is provided regarding the spacing between existing and proposed driveways. Multiple driveway openings spaced closely together can result in poor traffic operations and high accident rates. According to the City's Public Works Design Manual, the minimum driveway spacing along an arterial is 500 feet. If such spacing is not available, the City should consider limiting access to the site to right-in/right-out only. Left-turn traffic into and out of the site could use the neighboring driveway opening(s). 5) Assuming the development meets the driveway spacing requirements, the unsignalized intersection capacity analysis results show high delays for vehicles exiting the facility. This delay can be attributed to high volumes on Rufe Snow and a single lane exit. Based on the site plan provided, it appears there is room available to provide a second lane for exiting traffic. Providing a second lane will reduce on-site queuing. 6) Capacity analysis and raw traffic count reports were not provided with the study. These reports should be submitted to help review the appropriateness of the analysis inputs (i.e., cycle lengths, splits, phasing and peak hour factors). These inputs have a significant impact on the reported level of service values. These reports also include infonnation regarding queue lengths that may develop on site or along adjacent roadways. We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to the City of North Richland Hills.

Department: Planning & Inspections Department Council Meeting Date: 5128102 Subject: Consideration of a Site Plan Approval request for Northeast Agenda Number: PZ 2002-10 Tarrant Baptist Church located in the 7000 block of Smithfield Road (6.245 acres). Case Summary The church recently purchased the above tract for use as a church facility. The Zoning Ordinance permits churches by right without any special conditions in all zoning districts except AG Agricultural and MH1 Manufactured Home. However, churches (by administrative policy) have been considered non-résidential uses requiring a site plan approval when residential adjacency exists. This site is adjacent to residential zoning on all sides. Building Design and Materials - The existing church building (formerly a residence) is of all masonry construction with asphalt shingle roofing. The applicant has provided staff with a 20" X 30" color photo of the existing residential structure. Staff will make this photo available at the Council's work session and meeting. '-- Access and Parking - An existing concrete driveway (located in the northeast portion of the site's frontage) runs from Smithfield Road and terminates in a circle driveway in front of the existing structure. The site plan shows this access pOint and approximately 2100 square feet of pavement to be removed. A new access point to Smithfield Road is proposed in the center of the site's frontage. This driveway (Fire Lane) will terminate in a proposed parking lot that includes a total of 10 spaces in front of the existing structure and 25 spaces along the side and rear of the structure. Parking requirements for churches is based on the capacity of the church sanctuary (1 space for each three seats). The site plan notes a total capacity of .100 seats in the sanctuary which translates into 34 spaces required. This equals the total number of spaces provided.

Churches are a permitted use in all zoning districts except for agricultural and manufactured home districts. Churches typically are considered a fabric of the community and their use in and around residential areas are considered consistent with those areas. The current zoning on this site is residential. The use of the church on this site is considered consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. By policy, Staff has considered churches to be nonresidential uses and as such they are subject to some of the ground rules and some of the regulations involving nonresidential uses. One of those rules is that when you have a nonresidential use, which is within 200 feet of residential zoning you must ask for site plan approval for the location. For this location, all of the properties in all directions from the church are residentially zoned so the Applicant is asking for site plan approval for the church property. There is an existing entryway from Smithfield Road back to the existing residential structure. The church is proposing to close that entryway, dig up the pavement and put in a new entryway in the center of the property, coming to the same point of the circular drive in front of the residence. The Applicant has added the parking requirements for the church. Those requirements are based on the capacity of the Sanctuary, which are 100 people. City parking regulations require one parking space for each three people which means 34 parking spaces are needed for this site and the applicant has provided that in the areas around the house. Landscaping requirements do not impact this site. Landscaping requirements are needed only if the existing site is expanded by 30% or more. A note has been added to the plat stating that any future development of this site would require a new site plan approval process, and if the expansion is more than 30% then the applicant would be looking at issues of landscaping around the exterior borders of the site. There is also a memo from Public Works listing two or three minor items that they would like to see added to the site plan. Staff recommends approval of this site plan. Mr. Welch asked if it is feasible to have just one access drive based on possible future growth of the church. Mr. Green replied that there is a note on the site plan face stating that when there are additions to this property, site plan approval must be revisited. At that time, staff can address access to the point. There are issues with some of the adjacent street intersections. There must be enough offset to not cause problems. There is also an issue of saving certain trees on the site. We can be assured that in the future that issue can be discussed since the site plan must be brought forward for approval if the applicant makes additions. Mr. Welch asked if the applicant would have exterior lighting. -~~.._~,_.._-"-",~----,,,,-~~~,~=,~~,~--~---"-- Johnny Bernstein, 5605 Cancun Drive, North Richland Hills, stated that they do not have any current plans to add any lighting. The church does have a lighting specialist, but their main goal and priority was to get in, get the parking put in, and begin to be able to use the property, and then see what type of lighting would be needed. They intend to be good neighbors so they want to make sure that the lighting does not adversely affect the neighbors. At this time, they do not have any plans to put in any lighting. The structure itself already has a lot of exterior lighting. Right now, they have one service at 10 a.m. on Sunday morning so there is not a need for exterior lighting. Mr. Welch stated that his concern is that once they put the new entrance in, the parking will be almost 400 feet back from the entrance. Has the Fire Department been notified and approved this change? Mr. Bernstein stated that as he understood it, each City department examined the site plan that they submitted. There is a request for a new fire hydrant in the back. Mr. Bernstein plans to comply with that request. There were no other comments or questions and the Chainnan called for a motion. Mr. Welch, seconded by Mr. Nehring, motioned to approve PZ 2002-10 site plan approval subject to Public Works comments. The motion was approved unanimously May 3,2002 Washington & Associates 3950 Fossil Creek Blvd., Ste. 210 Fort Worth, TX 76137 RE: NORTHEAST TARRANT BAPTIST CHURCH ADDITION, Block 1, Lot 1 Public Works has reviewed the site plan, preliminary drainage analysis, and preliminary utility layout submitted to this office on April 30, 2002. We offer the following comments. SITE PLAN: ~ Dimension all curb proposed curb radii. Dimension the width of the proposed drive. ~ Label the existing flume between Lots 13 and 14, Block 3, Briarwood Estates. ~ Provide dimensions for the proposed parking spaces. PRELIMINARY UTILITY PLAN: ~ Show and label all franchise utilities in the vicinity of the site. Telephone utility markers are located in the west right-of-way of Smithfield Road. ~ Label the size of the water mèter. The meter should be labeled "existing". ~ All public utility lines should be shown and labeled on the plan. Show the location and size of the existing sewer service. ~ A proposed water line is shown adjacent to the northeast property line of the development. Because the line will be used for fire protection and it is shown to dead end, the line is required to be 8 inches in diameter. ~ Revise the construction notes and plan to show an 8 inch gate valve at the end of the proposed water line. The valve will facilitate construction of future phases of the development. ~ Relocate the proposed fire hydrant out of the proposed parking lot. Bollards may be used to protect the hydrant from vehicles. Northeast Tarrant Baptist Church, Blk1, Lot1 Page 2 of 2 May 3, 2002 ~ Show and label all proposed easements on the site. PRELIMINARY DRAINAGE ANALYSIS: ~ Plans received for Boatman Addition indicate that there is a substantial area to the north of the development that drains onto the site. This drainage area needs to be delineated on the map. Runoff calculations should also be included. ~ Revise the runoff coefficient used in the drainage calculations. For churches and institutional facilities, the coefficient should be 0.65, ~ Determine and show runoff calculations for the 10 and 25 year storm events. ~ The Engineer's signature is required on the certification of the drainage study. ~ Label all the existing contours on the site. ~ Show the proposed drainage easements. ~ Label and dimension the existing flume. Label and provide the size of the existing outlet pipe from the pond. For the next submittal, capacity calculations will be required for both the pond and flume, These comments are to be used in conjunction with the marked up plans and the separate plat memo.

CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS Mayor ATTEST: City Secretary APPROVED AS TO CONTENT: ~~ 2 " ~ CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: Public Works Councj: Meeting Date: 5/28/02 Subject: Adoption of Detention/Retention Pond Ordinance - Agenda Number: ~N 2002-056 Ordinance No. 2624 As previously instructed by Council, staff is bringing the proposed Detention/Retention Pond Ordinance to you for your consideration. The ordinance includes comments from Council, Planning & Zoning Commission, and the City Attorney. Until now, each request for the use of a detention/retention pond with a development was considered individually and would need the approval of the Council. This ordinance will outline when detention ponds will be allowed and provides the basic minimum criteria to be used in the design and construction of the pond. "-/ Also addressed in the ordinance are the maintenance responsibilities. It was staff's understanding that Council desired to have the maintenance of all detention/retention ponds be 1 00% the responsibility of the Owner/Developer or a Homeowners Association. During the review of the ordinance by the City Attorney, the City Attorney raised some concern$ about the potential problems that could arise in trying to enforce the ordinance. The City Attorney has suggested that if the HOA does not maintain the minimum balances and a major expense occurs, the City may be forCéd to pay for the expense and place a substantial lien against the HOA. The City Attorney suggests that the City will be responsible for the infrastructure improvements and the structural components of the basin and the HOA be responsible for the "general maintenance" such as mowing, landscaping upkeep, etc. Since the proposed ordinance requires all infrastructure and structural items to be designed and constructed to City standards, very little repair cost is anticipated for these items. If the detention pond is designed and con$tructed as specified in the ordinance the majority of the operation and maintenance cost will be from the "general maintenance". The proposed ordinance being considered includes the City Attorney's suggestions and does not require the HOA to be 100% responsible for the maintenance of the detentionlretention pond. The responsibilities are as follows: The HOA shall be responsible for the following: 1. Mowing of the basin and all areas around the basin HOA based on a pre-approved schedule. 2. The upkeep and replacement of all landscaping. 3. Operation and maintenance of aeration systems (including power cost and replacement cost). 4. Trash and debris removal based on a pre-approved cleaning schedule and scope. 5. Operation and maintenance of decorative lighting around the basin. 6. Any necessary dredging or silt removal from the basin and/or inlet and outlet structures. 7. Repair and replacement of decorative fencing. 8. Any "specialty" items not covered by any other party.
