February 21, 2002
Consider Property Tax Exemption Of Certain Define.d Travel Trailers
On November 6,2001, the voters of Texas approved an amendment to the Texas Constitution to
provide for the taxation ånd local option exemption of certain defined travel trailers. The enabling
legislation, § 11.142 of the Tax Code defines a travel trailer as a house trailer-type vehicle or a
camper trailer regardless of whether the vehicle is affixed to real property, that: (1) is less than
400 square feet in area; and (2) is designed primarily for use as temporary living qua.rters in
connection with recreational, camping, travel, or seasonal use, and not as a permanent dwelling.
Prior to this change in the law, travel trailers were considered personal property not used for the
production of income andw~re exempt from taxation. Under the new legislation, travel trailers as
defined above will be taxable unless an entity adopts a resolution or ordinance to exempt such
property. The change in the law does not change the way recreational vehicles (motor homes)
are classified. They are still considered personal property not used for the production of income
and therefore are exempt from taxation.
Tarrant Appraisal District is currently collecting the necessary information concerning the number
nd estimated value of travel trailers in Tarrant County. Preliminary analysis indicates that the
new taxation of travel trailers will yield insignificant taxable value to anyone entity.
Staff recommends placing an action item on the next Council agenda to adopt a property tax
exemption for travel trailers as defined in § 11.142. Staff has reviewed the change in the law with
City Attorney George Staples and he concurs with staffs recommendation.

Subject: North Richland Hills Fire Department I New Engine - 222 Delivery
The North Richland Hills Fire Department just placed into service a brand new 2001 American
LaFrance "Eagle" custom Pumper. Council approved this new truck as a replacement in the
2000-2001 budget in accordance with the multi-year fire apparatus replacement schedule. This
new fire engine was custom built to specifications put together by a committee of fire
department members and is built to current standards for fire apparatus. The new engine
provides fully enclosed seating positions for up to six personnel and contains a special EMS
cabinet in the cab for the Firefighter/Paramedic's medical equipment. The engine is a "rescue
body" style pumper designed to maximize internal equipment storage space. It sports a new,
updated striping and lettering scheme for North Richland Hills Fire - Rescue Department. It has
38 feet of ground ladders carried inside fully enclosed cabinets in the body of the engine. The
engine has a 1500-gallon per minute pump and a 500-gallon water tank. It carries 1000 feet of
large diameter fire hose and has five different fire attack hose lines and one high volume deck
gun, all pre-connected to the pump so they may be placed into operation very quickly. This
Engine is currently designated Engine - 222 and is in service at Fire Station # 2 located at 4001
Rufe Snow Drive.
The new Engine - 222 will be on display at City Hall for the Mayor and Council's inspection
Monday afternoon, February 25th, before Pre-Council from 5:15 p.m. until 6:00 p.m.
Respectfully Submitted,

Update on Status of Council Goals and Action Items
The attached documents provide an update to the status of the goals and action items as set
forth by the City Council at the June 2000 and June 2001 Goal Setting Work Sessions. The
items from the June 2000 work session are on green paper, and the items from the June
2001 work session are on yellow paper. As you can see on the green spreadsheet, most of
the items from the June 2000 work session are complete. Those that are not complete are
projects that will be ongoing into the future. The yellow spreadsheet shows that we are well
on are way to completing the items outlined at the June 2001 work session. Some of these
items are complete, and most are in progress with plans to complete them within the next
twelve months.
We look forward to reviewing this information with you Monday, and receiving any input you
might have.
Respectfully Submitted, ,

At the last pre council meeting the Council discussed having this year's Goals Setting Work

the pre council meeting so we can call Mr. Sumek's office and reserve the dates.

September 12th (Thursday), September 13th (Friday), September 14th (Saturday)
September 19th (Thursday), September 20th (Friday), September 21 st (Saturday)

October 24th (Thursday), October 25th (Friday), October 26th (Saturday)
Also, when the Council met with Mr. Sumek Tuesday February 12th, Mr. Sumek suggested a
half-day session on governance in late Mayor early June to help orient any new Council

Determination of Effective .Competition by the FCC and Charter
Communication's Upcoming Rate Increase
In previous reports to the City Council, staff mentioned that Charter Communications filed a
petition with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for the Determination of
Effective Competition in North Richland Hills and several area cities including Keller,
Burleson, Blue Mound, Mansfield, Kennedale, and, Edgecliff Village. Staff reported that
should the FCC grantthe petition, the City of North Richland Hills as well as these other cities
would no longer have the authority to regulate basic cable rates.
During the first week of February, we received a letter from Charter indicating that their rates
would be increasing effective March 16, 2002. However, staff had not received the rate filing
that is normally required months in advance. Upon calling Charter's government and
regulatory compliance representative to determine why we never received a rate filing, staff
was informed that the FCC determined that effective competition did exist in North Richland
Hills and the other cities. Although the City did receive a copy of Charter's original petition,
the City was not notified that the FCC had in fact granted an Effective Competition order.
The FCC granted the Effective Competition Order based on evidence provided by Charter
Communications demonstrating that the communities listed, inCluding North Richland Hills,
are served by at least 2 unaffiliated multichannel video programming distributors (satellite
dish companies in this case), and that these companies offered comparable service to more
than 50% of the households within the communities. The FCC also requires that 15% of
households within a city actually subscribe to a competing service for effective competition to
exist. Charter demonstrated that 20% of households in North. Richland Hills were in fact
subscribers to satellite dish services. We also believe the 15% threshold has been met.
Because the FCC determined that effective competition to cablø service does exist in North
Richland Hills, the City no longer has the authority to regulate basic cable rates as has been
done in the past. However, under our existing franchise, the City does retain the right to
regulate customer service standards as set forth in the franchise, and staff will continue to
monitor customer service in the aggressive manner that we have in the past.
Even though the City no longer has the authority to regulate cable rates, staff felt it necessary
to inform the Council about the rate increase in case you received calls from citizens.
Attached is a IjShshowing the old rates compared to the new rates that will go into effect
March 16, 2002. Please feel free to call Greg Vick or me should you have any questions
regarding this matter.

TEA-21 Proposed Projects (2nd Call)
The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) has issued the 2nd Call for
Projects that could be partially funded with federal funds from the Transportation Equity Act for
the 21st Century (TEA-21). NCTCOG staff has informed all intere$ted cities that there are
. limited funds for this call for projects. Because of the limited funds, cities are being requested to
only submit their top 3 or 4 priority transportation projects. Listed below are staff's
recommendations for the top 4 transportation projects, along with the City's estimated
participation for each project.

Submitting these transportation projects for TEA-21 funding does not obligate the City to do the
project. The City will have the opportunity to see which projects are selected (if any) and then
determine if the funds are available to do the projects seletted. During the time of the submittal,
the City is only committing to the local participation (if the City chooses to do the project). If the
City elects not to do any of the projects selected for TEA-21 funding, the funds will go back to
NCTCOG to disburse on other projects.

the future by separate contract.
Staff is needing direction from Council if these projects should be submitted for TEA-21 funding.
Staff will also be available to answer specific questions.

Date: February 25, 2002
Subject: Special Presentation - Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial
Reporting for the Comprehensive Financial Report ending September 30,
2000
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for
Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City for its Comprehensive Financial Report for the fiscal
year ending September 30, 2000. The Certificate of Achievement is a prestigious national award
recognizing conformance with the highest standards for preparation of state and local government
financial reports. The Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only, The City
has received a Certificate of Achievement for the last 18 consecutive years. Out of 1,400
governmental units in the State of Texas, fewer than 200 have received this award.
The Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting Program was established by
the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) in 1945. The GFOA instituted the program
to encourage all government units to prepare and publish an easily readable and understandable
comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) covering all funds and financial transactions of the
government during the fiscal year. The GFOA believes that governments have a special
responsibility to provide the public with a fair presentation of their financial affairs, CAFR's go
beyond the requirements of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to provide the many
users of government financial statements with a wide variety of information useful in evaluating the
financial condition of a government.
'-
The Certificate Program provides participants with extensive technical reference materials to
improve their financial reporting techniques. Suggestions and comments from reviewers also help
staff to improve the document.
Another great benefit of the Certificate of Achievement is that it provides a detailed vehicle by
which market analysts, investors, potential investors and others may assess the relative
attractiveness of our City's bonds compared to alternative investment opportunities.
Beverly Queen, Director of Administrative Services with the City of Bedford and Chairperson of the
Professional Development Committee Government Finance Officers Association of Texas, will be
at the Council meeting to present the Certificate of Achievement award to the City. Although no
action is needed by Council, we do commend Jackie Theriot, Accounting Manager, and the
Accounting staff for their professional efforts that have made it possible for the City to again
receive this prestigious award. This is truly a team effort by City Council, Management, and staff
and meets Council Goal 4: Financially Responsible City Government.

City Council Work Session Minutes
January 15, 2002
Page 2
Mayor Scoma briefly reviewed the items discussed at the joint work sessions that Council
held with the Planning and Zoning Commission on September 15 and October 13, 1998.
The City Attorney, at the Mayor's request, discussed the Vested Rights Act and its impact
on the City's zoning and platting, Mr, Staples also briefed the Council and Commission on
the effect recent legislation had on the use of moratoriums and that moratoriums are no
longer available for use.
Each of the Council was given an opportunity to discuss their expectations of the Planning
and Zoning Commission. Comments and discussion by Council members included _
· Expectation to vote what is legally right rather than being influenced by pressure from
the outside.
· Discourage smaller lots - There was discussion on front entry garages and the
preference for rear entry, Council discussed that R-3 was the only district that allows
front entry garages. There was also some discussion on issues associated with
redevelopment. The Planning & Zoning Commission was asked that when considering
items to take into consideration the future overall appearance. Council wants the
ordinances and regulations in place to be adhered to. There was discussion on lots
sizes and value of homes placed on smaller lots.
· Concern expressed that after the Planning & Zoning Commission reviewed a case, the
applicant was presenting to Council different plans.
· Desire for Planning and Zoning Commission to address detention ponds and issues
associated with detention ponds when submitted.
· Desire for Planning and Zoning Commission minutes to be more detailed. It was
expressed that they are being abbreviated too much. The Council would like to be able
to ascertain from the minutes an idea of what discussion took place.
· Desire for details of cases to be taken care of on the Planning & Zoning level rather
than Council level.
· Reinforce the development desire of the Council and be cognizant of ordinances being
used to go against development standards set by Council.
· Set rules in place and abide by them,
· Need to decide what City is going to do with detention/retention ponds. Discussion on
development of standards for retention/detention ponds that will help the Planning &
Zoning Commission and Council. Would like to see more restrictive landscaping in
detention ponds and maintenance,
A member of the Planning & Zoning Commission requested clarification on the
Commission's responsibility for approval or denial if a plat met all city criteria. The Attorney
advised that the Commission did not have any discretion if the plat met all of the City's
standards and regulations; that by law the Commission is required to approve the plat.
The Attorney discussed the Planning & Zoning Commission's authority as it relates to
City Council Work Session Minutes
January 15', 2002
Page 3
variances, plats, and site plans. There was general discussion on zoning requests for non-
standard developments. They discussed a need to develop a philosophy on when the City
would allow non-standard developments due to unique problems with the property.
The Council and Commission discussed preliminary plats, and the idea of Council being
provided with the preliminary plats as informational items. It was felt by Staff that this
would turn into discussion items rather than informational items, In response to a question
from the Commission on plat corrections, Staff advised that they are working with the City
Attorney to determine if an ordinance can be enacted allowing plat corrections to be
administratively handled, In response to a question from the Council concerning plat
dating, the Attorney advised that it was an administrative issue and would be handled by
Staff.
Next general discussion item was critical issues that needed to be resolved at either the
Planning & Zoning Commission level or staff level when approving site plans, special use
permits or planned developments. Issues discussed included _
· Addressing traffic concerns and traffic impact studies. Staff advised that because the
traffic impact studies were difficult to follow, staff would work on providing information in
a more easy to follow format through an Executive Summary.
· Approval and denial of zoning cases in relation to the Comprehensive Plan.
Commission was advised by the City Attorney that they were not required to approve a
zoning because it was on the Comprehensive Plan, If the requested zoning is not
compatible with the surrounding uses, the Commission can deny the request.
· Council was asked for input on cases that were approved by the Commission subject to
a list of items to be completed by applicant prior to the Council meeting. The
Commission questioned if the Council preferred for all outstanding items to be taken
care of at the Planning & Zoning level before it is approved and submitted to Council for
action. Commission was advised that Staff is following up on the stipulations placed on
the cases by the Commission before submitting to Council for their consideration.
Because of the time factor involved, as long as the Commission identifies issues with
follow-up by staff, the Council was satisfied with the way it is currently being handled.
Mayor Scoma recessed the meeting at 7:40 p.m. and called the meeting back to order at
7:45 p.m, with all members present as recorded.
Discussion was on whether the current ordinances in place adequately address what the
Council is supporting for new development or if new regulations are needed, Specific
items discussed included -
· Moving forward and develop plans for Freeway Corridor.
City Manager advised the 820 freeway area may need to have a committee or some
group to assist, in addition to the Planning & Zoning Commission. A planner will

also be needed to assist with looking at possible impacts, realignment of streets, the
type of use that will be most appropriate and the impact on the balance of the
property. The City Manager advised he would like to develop an overall strategy
before creating a committee.
· Briefly discussed placing the landscape regulations back into the Zoning Ordinance.
· Use of Planned Development
Comments were that planned development is when developer cannot meet
ordinance, It was felt that planned development was a way to get around the Land
Use Master Plan and circumvent ordinances. There was discussion on the need to
establish general standards for the use of Planned Development.
· Neighborhood covenants and maintenance covenants.
Staff advised that the covenants usually result from varying from drainage
requirements. As a result of the variances maintenance agreements and covenants
are needed. Staff advised the agreements and covenants are hard to enforce and
keep up with. Staff recommended that they be discouraged in residential areas.
The Attorney advised that cities should not be in the covenant enforcement
business because of the difficulty to enforce.
Councilman Trevino left the meeting at 8:15 p.m.
· Small lot size requests - Council's desire is for lot sizes that will accommodate rear
entry garages,
The City Manager advised that Councilman Whitson asked him to convey for him his
expectation for the Commission to look at things in the broad interest of the City and
challenged the Planning and Zoning Commission to continue to look at the best interest of
the City.

TRAINING & DEVELOPOMENT OF EVALUATION SYSTEM - DR. LYLE SUMEK
Dr. Lyle Sumek, Sumek & Associates, was the facilitator for the work session. The
purpose of the work session was to develop a process, format and criteria for an evaluation
system. Dr. Sumek explained it is a three-part process consisting of 1) Past (performance
standards/expectations), 2) Goals (framework for next year) and 3) Actions (of City Council
to support and what needs to be done on part of others.) Dr. Sumek further explained that
the "Past" consisted of performance standards, goal achievement of action agenda and
personal goals and an assessment of how doing in organization consisting of strengths
and areas of improvement. Goals consisted of organizational goals, professional goals
and personal goals. Actions consist of what individual is willing to commit to for the
achievement of goals and what is needed from each other to be successful. Dr. Sumek
worked with the Council to identify performance standards and expectations for each
standard. Dr. Sumek advised he would prepare a report and draft form based on the
standards and expectations identified by the Council and include also the goals and
actions from Council's goal setting work session last summer for Council to look at and use
City Council Work Session Minutes
February 12, 2002
Page 2
as a basis for an evaluation process. The Council concurred with the process presented
by Dr. Sumek and the results to be drafted by Dr. Sumek.
Council questioned if this process should be used for the evaluation of all Council
appointees. Council was advised that the Deputy City Manager had been handling the
evaluation of the Court Clerk since the Court Clerk reported to him on a daily basis.
Council in the past had directed the City Secretary to report to the City Manager for the
overseeing of daily activities and performance reviews. The Council felt that the process
should be implemented for the review of the City Attorney.

5:04pm Councilman Whitson arrived.
Mr. Cunningham advised council that Item 6d
has been revised, and that a copy of the revised
precincts was passed out to council prior to the
Pre-Council meeting. Ms, Hutson received the
revised list of precinct numbers late Friday
afternoon and faxed to council. Mr.
Cunningham advised council this item could
remain on the consent agenda unless council
wanted it removed.
Mayor Scoma advised council that the motion
should include "as amended",
Mr, Cunningham advised council that Item 6a
had a clarification and that Ms. Hutson provided
the council with a copy, The minutes should NAN
have been cents instead of percentaqe.
IR 2002-022 Mr. Mike Curtis advised council staff has had a
DISCUSS NORTH pre-construction meeting with the contractor to
TARRANT begin construction on North Tarrant Parkway.
PARKWAY - TXU There are a couple of utility overhead electric
OVERHEAD LINES lines on both the east and west side of Davis
Boulevard, Staff has talked to the engineer at
TXU and got a preliminary estimate on what it
would cost to put the overhead underground at
North Tarrant Parkway. The preliminary
estimate is around $65,000. The budget for this
project is approximately $5 million, and the bids
came in at approximately $4.5 million. Mr,
Curtis advised council that the city has nearly
$400,000 available. Mr, Curtis advised council
the $400,000 was to include decorative
streetlights, Mr. Curtis talked to the engineer to
see how much it would cost for the decorative
streetlights. Mr. Curtis believes that there
should be sufficient funds to put the overhead
electric lines underground and install the
decorative streetlights.
Mr, Norwood informed council that the utilities
and the contractor need this information
promptly as they start the phasing.
Mr. Curtis advised council that he will need to
inform TXU the City's directions before the next
Pre Council Minutes
February 11, 2002
Page 3
council meeting.
Councilwoman Johnson is in favor of having the
overhead electric lines being underground and
believes that the city needs to begin
somewhere.
Councilman Metts believes the council should
be consistent with the City Image Study,
Mayor Pro Tem Mitchell asked if it was just at
the intersection or corner to corner.
Mr, Curtis advised council there is 200 feet of
right-of-way at North Tarrant Parkway and the
estimate is within the right-of-way, The City
Image Study proposed going beyond the right-
of-way. Mr. Curtis said he could get an estimate
for the cost, and if the funds are available and if
council wishes, staff can proceed, Mr. Curtis
advised council that the estimate he has now is
for 200-foot right-of-way to right-of-way. Mr.
Curtis informed council that the TXU engineer
advised him there is a pole that provides service
to Albertson's, Mr. Curtis wanted to be sure that
council is aware that there are poles on North
Tarrant Parkway and that if there are overhead
services they will still be there.
Councilwoman Johnson wanted to know why
they could not go underground,
Mr, Curtis said they could be put underground
but the city would have to absorb the cost of
relocating.
Mayor Scoma said one of the advantages of
doing it now is that the City is setting an
precedent, and that any future development will
be required to go underground.
Mr, Curtis advised council if there were anything
different he would bring it back before council.
Council consensus was to put the electric
utilities underground at an estimated cost of
$65,000 with the understanding there will
continue to be some service poles above

IR 2002-019 Mr. Cunningham advised council the IR lists the
DISCUSS DATE dates that Mr. Sumek is available. Mr,
FOR ANNUAL Cunningham also mentioned that possibility of
GOAL SETTING changing the timing of the goals work session to
WORK SESSION the fall or maybe the early part of winter, Mr.
Cunningham believes moving the time frame of
the work session to the later part of the year not
only benefits the newly elected officials who are
not orientated with the city, but avoids other
conflicts during the summer months.
Council consensus was to have staff bring back
dates (Thursday evening/Friday day) for the L.Cunningham
month of September. P.Hartman
IR 2002-020 Mr. Curtis said council consensus on medians
DISCUSS DAVIS was to include them on new projects with them
BOULEVARD being listed as a separate bid item so council
MEDIANS could see the cost and make a decision as to
whether it is warranted. Council also wanted
staff to look at putting in micro-medians or
landscape medians in existing projects/streets if
the landscape medians did not require
additional right-of-way, If the additional right-of-
way were required for landscape medians then
staff would look at micro-medians.
Mayor Scoma asked about the combination of
the micro-medians with some landscaping,
Mr. Curtis advised council that the landscaping
option would be a combination of micro-median
and landscape median.
Mr, Curtis is before council today regarding
Davis Boulevard. Mr. Curtis advised council the
City has a fixed right-of-way and that he is not
aware of any Texas Department of
Transportation (TxDOT) project where they
would be requiring additional right-of-way. If the
City goes by TxDOT's minimum criteria; the
median width is going to be wider than the
existing left turn lane. Mr. Curtis wanted council
to be aware that the city would be getting into
additional right-of-way if the city goes by
TxDOT's standard criteria. Mr. Curtis is seeking
council comments on staff providing a
preliminary median plan for the Davis Boulevard

corridor that will be presented to council. The
plan will include variances that will be presented
to TxDOT and should TxDOT approve request
staff will move forward. Staff will come back to
council if TxDOT does not approve request.
Mayor Scoma suggested that staff invite
business and residents along Davis Boulevard
for a Town Hall meeting to show them the
preliminary plan to work out the details before it
is taken to TxDOT,
Councilman Metts told Mr. Curtis that the City
has to keep the seven lanes on Davis Boulevard
and that would not leave any right-of-way for the
median.
Mr. Curtis advised council the exception would
be if TxDOT granted a variance on the minimum
width of the median or if they would grant a
variance on the minimum of right-of-way
parkway width.
Consensus was for staff to move forward with
preparation for a median plan to be presented to S.Norwood/M.Curtis
TxDOT.
IR 2002-021 Mr. Curtis advised council there are two issues
DISCUSS to discuss: (1) when will they be allowed; and
PROPOSED (2) when they are allowed what will they look
DETENTION/ like. Mr. Curtis talked to Mr, Staples and
RETENTION POND suggested the best place to address item one
ORDINANCE would be in the ordinance that addressed
drainage criteria (subdivision regulation). Mr,
Staples has provided wording that staff can put
into the subdivision regulations, which staff can
bring back before council. The draft ordinance
included with the IR identifies what the
detention/retention ponds will look like. Mr,
Curtis advised council in addition to the criteria
staff would require a landscaping plan, as well
as a maintenance and Homeowners Association
agreement.
Mayor Scoma asked if the Planning and Zoning
Commission has worked on the draft ordinance.
Mr. Curtis advised council that staff has not had
a chance to bring before the Planning and
Zoning Commission.

Mayor Scoma would like if the Planning and
Zoning Commission look at the ordinance prior
to it coming before council for action.
Council agreed with the Mayor that they would
like the Planning and Zoning Commission have
the opportunity to review the ordinance and
suggest recommendations,
Mr. Cunningham advised council that staff
would not be able to bring back for council
action at the next meeting if it goes to the
Planning and Zoning Commission,
Councilwoman Johnson asked Mr. Curtis if
there is criteria for the necessity of a pump for
the aeration and water supply,
Mr. Curtis advised council the size is based
upon the volume of water that is needed to
circulate.
Councilman Tolbert thinks that the Homeowner
or organization that is required to maintain the
pond should file somethinç¡ with the city yearlv to
assure the city that they are indeed complying
with the reserve fund, Councilman Tolbert also
suggested that staff consider if existing ponds
should fall under the ordinance.
Mr. Greg Vick informed council that staff
presents a proposal each year that represents
federal policies. The basics cover four different
areas that we use as well for the state policies
and they are:
(1) oppose issues that would minimize our
ability to govern our own affairs
(2) anything that would minimize our ability to
maintain a predictable level source of revenue
to manage our own affairs
(3) opposing the imposition of any federal
mandates that do not provide for a
commensurate level of compensation
(4) issues that the city would support that affect
the quality of life for citizens of North Richland
Hills

Staff has divided the positions into four basic
categories: (1) support local government; (2)
infrastructure needs; (3) public safety; and (4)
environmental interests.
Mr. Vick advised council his intent is to answer
questions from council, make a note of
suggested changes and bring back for council
adoption at the February 25 City Council
meeting. Mr. Vick informed council that staff
has a policy that represents council's position on
the issues as well as basic philosophies,
Mayor Scoma wants Mr, Vick to include a
provision in the Air Quality that opposes any
elimination of federal funding (highway funding)
because an area not being able to meet its air
quality standards.
Mayor Scoma asked Mr. Vick what his
understanding is on the economic stimulus
package (opposing national sales tax),
Mr. Vick informed council it was for the National
Sales Tax Holiday. There were at least two bills
introduced this last session, but they did not
make it. They tried to piggyback the bill on the
stimulus package, which appears to be on its
death. However it could be rejuvenated in many
different forms,
Mr. Cunningham informed council what was
proposed before and was moving rather rapidly
and was finally stopped was to grant a national
sales tax holiday which would affect the City's
sales tax. The proposal would have halted all
sales tax for all cities for a certain period of time.
Mayor Scoma announced at 5:49 p,m. that the
Council would adjourn to Executive Session for
personnel matters under Government Code
Section 551.071 - Ann Shelton vs. City of North

and not used for organized use, The Park and Recreation Board recently heard a
request from Richland Youth Association (RY A) and North Area Youth Association
(NAY A) to utilize Bronco Field for organized play.
Mr. Jim McCaghren and Mr, Randy Lewis of the NAY A and Mr. Calvin Kniffin of RYA

accommodate the increasing number of baseball players in the 11-12 year old age
group. Mr. Lewis lives in the area and has not noticed any problems. Mr. Lewis
encourages the use of the park.
Councilman Welch asked Park and Recreation Board Chair Dewayne Leslie if the
board considered the surrounding neighbors,
Mr. Leslie advised council that the main concern from the surrounding neighbors were
the field lights,
Park and Recreation Director Jim Browne was available to answer questions.
Council discussed the lighting and parking for Bronco field, Council also discussed the
possibility of the neighborhood not being able to use the park as a neighborhood park
when in use by the associations,

SUNNYBROOK DRIVE) - ORDINANCE NO. 2604
APPROVED
Mr. John Pitstick, Director of Development, advised council the request before them is a
result of a replat (PS 2001-48), which was approved by council at their 1/28/02 meeting.
During the review of this request staff noticed that the site was zoned AG Agricultural.
Staff also noted that properties adjacent to this plat were not only zoned AG
Agricultural, but also had existing residential structures as primary uses, Due to the
situation, the city staff is initiating a request to rezone this area to R-1 Residential
District. Ms. Pitstick informed council that all property owners were notified of this
change and none have expressed opposition. The only concern of the property owners
was if their taxes would increase, Mr. Pitstick advis-ed them that their taxes would not
increase, which he verified with Tarrant Appraisal District.
Mayor Scoma opened the public hearing and asked for anyone wishing to speak to
come forward. There being no one wishing to speak, Mayor Scoma closed the public
hearing.

HC; AMENDING THE USE TABLES, CHANGING THE CROSS REFERENCES
THROUGHOUT, PERMITTING, DELETING AND ADDING CONDITIONS TO
CERTAIN USES AND PRESERVING DISTRICTS LR, C1, AND C2 - ORDINANCE NO.
2599
APPROVED
Ms. Cathy Horton, Zoning Administrator, advised council staff was given the task to
prepare new zoning districts which would clearly reflect the goals of the Revised
Comprehensive Plan. Staff was also directed to permit all property owners with land
zoned LR, C1 and C2 to retain their property rights to develop under the regulations of
these districts. Ms, Horton advised council that there will be no city initiated zoning
cases to the new districts NS, CS, and HC. However, on the effective date of the
ordinance applicants will not be able to request the old retail districts. Staff briefed
council on the creation of the new zoning districts at their January 14, 2002 Pre-Council
meeting and the Public Hearing was held at their January 28, 2002 Council Meeting.
Council elected to table the item to allow staff to make changes if any to the ordinance
and bring back for council consideration at their next meeting.
Ms. Horton advised council that of the three suggestions made from Councilwoman
Johnson, staff would only be able to include two: (1) the addition of a SUP in the CS
district for farmers market, and (2) a SUP in the NS and CS districts for produce
market. Staff was not able to change Councilwoman Johnson's other suggestion to
remove the SUP from 01 Office for a private club because the Office district was not
advertised.
Ms. Horton advised council the ordinance before them tonight was approved by the
Planning and Zoning Commission at their January 10, 2002 meeting, If council would
like to include the amendments suggested by Councilwoman Johnson then staff would
suggest the following motion: approval of Ordinance No, 2599 with the addition of a
SUP in the CS district for farmers market and a SUP in the NS and CS districts for
produce market.
Mayor Scoma asked Ms, Horton why staff elected not to include amendments in the
ordinance.
Ms. Horton advised council that staff wanted to keep the Planning and Zoning
Commission's recommendation together and if council wanted to include
Councilwoman Johnson's amendments they could do so in their motion,
Mayor Scoma asked what concerns staff had with outside storage and outside sales in
Neighborhood Services district.

Ms. Horton advised council that the outside storage and outside sales would be the
primary issue with allowing farmer and produce markets in CS and NS under a SUP. A
SUP for the farmer and produce markets would mandate a site plan to go with request.
COUNCILWOMAN JOHNSON MOVED TO APPROVE PZ 2001-37, ORDINANCE No. 2599 WITH
THE ADDITION OF A SUP IN THE CS DISTRICT FOR FARMERS MARKET AND A SUP IN THE NS
AND CS DISTRICTS FOR PRODUCE MARKET. COUNCILMAN TOLBERT SECONDED THE MOTION.
Mr. Cunningham informed council that staff would be coming back with an amendment
to the Landscape Ordinance to accommodate the new zoning districts.

2002 Federal Legislative Positions
February 2002
INTRODUCTION
Throughout history, Congress has created laws and policies that greatly effect the
administrative and political decisions of local governments throughout the country. The City
officials of North Richland Hills would like to state definitive opinions on some of the issues at
the federal level including local control, infrastructure needs, and public safety and provide our
positions with a small portion of background and reasoning for such positions.
The City of North Richland Hills uses four primary principles in rendering its opinions on
legislative issues. These are:
1. We will vigorously oppose any legislation that erodes the authority to govern our own
local affairs.
2. Cities represent the level of government closest to the people. We bear primary
responsibility for the provision of capital infrastructure and for ensuring our citizens'
health and safety. Thus, we must be assured of a predictable and sufficient level of
revenue and must resist efforts to diminish those revenues.
3. We will oppose the imposition of any federal mandates, which do not provide for a
commensurate level of compensation.
4. We will support any legislation that increases the quality of life for our citizens, This
includes legislation that will not only provide an equitable amount of revenue for our city,
but also provide equitable services that will encourage pride and growth in our
community.
Other issues will arise in the future. This document will be amended and updated to suit the
most current and important issues. However, if an issue arises that is not included in this
position paper, we urge the congress to keep our guiding principles in mind as they make
important decisions concerning our future.

.s.wwort Local Governments
North Richland Hills believes that local government works best for the
people because it is closest to the people.
The City of North Richland Hills will support legislation that allows local.
government to be flexible in implementing innovative and cost effective
solutions to local problems, and will vigorously oppose any legislation that
erodes the authority to govern our own local affairs.
February 11, 2002

Internet Sales Tax Neutrality
North Richland Hills supports neutral tax treatment for Internet purchases.
On November 15, 2001, the Senate approved a two-year extension of the moratorium on new
Internet specific taxes and rejected an amendment that could have led to the state and local
taxation of remote sales, including Internet sales. We firmly believe that sales and use tax
collection issues and the prohibition of Internet sales taxes will continue to work to the
detriment of local economies and local tax bases which provide funds for local services. It is
our opinion that sales tax applied to Internet sales does not represent a new tax. It simply
levels the playing field with bricks and mortar businesses and allows these businesses to
compete fairly with Internet businesses.
State and local governments rely heavily on revenue from sales tax. In North Richland Hills,
sales tax comprises almost one-third of the revenues that support our total operating budget.
Sales tax also supports such special districts as Crime Control and Prevention, and special
projects such as the development of parks and recreation facilities, The migration of sales to
the Internet coupled with the difficulty in collecting sales tax for remote sales transactions will
result in the erosion of the local tax base. Figures released in September 2001 show that as a
result of e-commerce transactions, state and local governments nationwide will .Iose $13~3
billion in sales tax revenue this year, 41 % percent higher than previous estimates. As more
shoppers migrate to the Internet to make their purchases, state and local governments stand
to lose even more of their tax base. In fact, some projections estimate losses will jump to $45
billion by the year 2006
The City of North Richland Hills position on this issue is threefold:
· North Richland Hills Supports the application of sales tax on applicable products and
services purchased through electronic commerce to preserve the local tax base.
· North Richland Hills opposes legislation in Congress that proposes to enact further limits on
the ability to tax Internet sales.
· North Richland Hills supports ongoing efforts of states and local governments to simplify
their tax systems, and urges Congress to use the next two years to assist states and local
governments in reaching a resolution to this complex and difficult issue.
February 11, 2002

Economic Stimulus Package
North Richland Hills supports the passage of an economic stimulus package that creates a
balance between investments and tax incentives, while Dreserving the local tax base. North
Richland Hills will oppose any economic stimulus package that jeopardizes local economies
including legislation that proposes a National Sales Tax Holidav.
Given the current state of our nation's economy, which was already declining when the
September 11th tragedy occurred, the City of North Richland Hills recognizes the need for an
economic stimulus package to prevent further escalation of the recession. North Richland Hills
will support a well-balanced stimulus package, and encourages Congress to consider an
alternative that would facilitate and expedite the following:
· Investments in water and transportation infrastructure to generate jobs and facilitate
needed infrastructure upgrades and alternative forms of transportation, and
· Aid to businesses at risk of economic failure as a direct result of the September 11 th
attacks, including the airline and tourism industry.
North Richland Hills will oppose any economic stimulus proposal that includes a National Sales
Tax Holiday, including S. 1643 recently introduced by Senators Snowe and Murray and H.R.
3172 introduced in the House by Congressman Lindsey Graham. The City's reasons for
opposition to these specific proposals are:
· The proposals would reimburse the states directly, only after they meet certain criteria, and
there is no provision for reimbursing local governments for uncollected sales tax except the
City of New York;
· There is no existing data or credible method of estimating the loss of sales tax revenue to
the states and local governments under the proposed 10 day holiday;
· Any reimbursements may not be distributed until next year, which would create a serious
revenue shortfall at a time when state and local budgets are already under serious
constraints and facing increasing costs for homeland security and other essential public
services with additional revenue shortfalls.
North Richland Hills is generally opposed to a sales tax holiday because it diminishes an
important local revenue source that is already in decline as a direct result of the economic
downturn, increased Internet purchases, and state sales tax holidays such as the 3 day sales
tax holiday that takes place in Texas every August. In North Richland Hills, sales tax revenues
fund almost one-third of our local services not including the sales tax revenue that funds our
Crime Control and Prevention District as well as building park and recreation facilities.
February 11, 2002

Telecommunications Deregulation
North Richland Hills ODDoses preemption of local authority regarding rights-of-way and
revenue; furthermore, any restructuring program at the federal level should result in all
consumers receiving benefits.
Federal reform of the telecommunications industry could preempt local land use, zoning and
rights-of-way authority. It is important to insure that the work that has already been done at the
state and local level is incorporated into any Federal telecommunications bill or changes to
existing telecommunications legislation. In considering regulation or deregulation of the
telecommunications industry, Congress should preserve local government authority to set
customer service standards and insure that they are met, regulate the location of towers, and
manage the use of public rights-of-way. In addition, Federal legislation should compliment
existing state and local measures. It is critical to insure that any proposal to deregulate the
telecommunications industry does not reduce local revenues (franchise fees for the use of
right-of-way, sales tax) or erode the authority of local government to insure public safety by
regulating and maintaining the public right-of-way,
February 11, 2002
7
Federalism, Preemption, & Takings
North Richland Hills opposes federal preemption of State powers included those powers
delegated to local governments by the States involving such matters as local zoning and land
use authority, and the protection of public safety, health and welfare within the local
government's jurisdiction. This includes any attempts to federalize local land use decisions.
The U. S. Constitution separates the powers of the Federal government from the powers of the
State governments (the Federalist system). States have delegated to local governments the
authority to regulate those matters arising within their boundaries including the implementation
and enforcement of zoning standards, the regulation of land use, and the protection of the
health, safety, welfare, and property of those individuals within the local government's
jurisdiction.
In recent years, the enactment of Federal laws and regulations that preempt local decision-
making and regulatory authority in the exercise of these powers has placed a strain on the
relationship between the federal government and local governing officials. This preemption of
local powers is apparent in several areas including telecommunications where local authority
over the location of towers and the management of right-of-way is being challenged, and in the
area of land use planning and zoning authority. In fact, Congress has been aggressively
attempting to limit local land use authority through the enactment of the Religious Land Use
and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) and the introduction of other takings legislation
(H.R. 2372 and S. 1028) in the 106th Congress, which would allow developers to bypass local
administrative processes and bring land use and zoning law suits against cities to Federal
court. This type of takings legislation federalizes local land use laws by allowing developers to
circumvent the local decision making process, which results in local land use decisions being
made by the non-elected federal judiciary versus local officials elected by and intimately
acquainted with the communities they serve. This type of legislation would also place
increasing costs on local governments resulting from the need to travel to federal court and
litigate matters that have not been adequately addressed by local processes that are already in
place.
The City of North Richland Hills opposes any legislation that further erodes the ability of local
cities to exercise powers granted to them as well as the federalization of decisions that have
historically been made at the local level. Legislation that serves to preempt local authority
erodes the local government's ability to act in the best interest of their communities in
protecting public safety and health, safeguarding the environment, and supporting the property
values of all residents in the community.

Library Services & Technology Act Reauthorization
North Richland Hills SUPDortS the reauthorization of the Library Services & Technology Act,
which provides much needed funding for local Library services, and encourages Congress to
increase funding of this program from its current level to $500 million.
The Library Services & Technology Act (LSTA) is the cornerstone of Federal Aid for America's
libraries. In fact, the LSTA is the only Federal program solely devoted to aiding libraries and
provides assistance for public and research libraries, public schools, college/university, and
private and special libraries that meet certain state criteria. The program, administered by the
Institute of Museum and Library Services, provides incentive funding for activities that libraries
have difficulty initiating independently by helping to leverage state and local funds and allowing
each community the flexibility to identify and support their highest priority needs.
The LST A expires this year and must be reauthorized by Congress and signed by the
President by September 30, 2002 to continue this small but crucial funding source. The
libraries of today provide so much more than just books. Today, libraries playa central role in
providing access to information and technology including access to the Internet. Libraries also
provide programs in support of families, people with disabilities, senior citizens and
underserved populations. In North Richland Hills, funding provided by an LST A grant allowed
our City Library to partner with two other libraries in the region to implement a groundbreaking
online virtual reference service. It is this type of innovative, collaborative, technology based
programs that are made possible through the assistance provided by LST A funds.
However, increased funding is necessary to support the growing number of important services
that local libraries provide to communities across the nation. The funding level under LSTA has
not changed since 1971, so local and state governments have provided the majority of monies
for increased services at our libraries leaving most smaller state and local governments without
resources to provide increased access to information and technology. An increase in funding
provided by the LST A would provide for more equity in allocating funds across the nation, and
ensure that all libraries have the resources to provide library users access to technology and
successful programs.
North Richland Hills encourages Congress to reauthorize the Library Services & Technology
Act, and increase the authorization level to $500 million which will provide more equity in the
allocation of funding as well as additional resources that can be provided with the assistance of
the Federal government.

Infrastructure Needs
North Richland Hills is a high growth area. Aging, decaying, inadequate or
inefficient infrastructure can inhibit quality of life as well as economic
activity. Efficient transportation, environmental, utility, and technology
systems are essential to building a safe, quality community in which
citizens can live, work and play.
February 11, 2002

Broadband Services
North Richland Hills sU,pports the universal deployment of high-speed Internet Access and
other broadband information technologies with the preservation of existing local government
authority to regulate cable television and telecommunications entities through negotiating,
franchising and licensing.
There are numerous proposals in Congress that speaks to the rapid and universal deployment
of broadband technologies that give users the capability to send and receive data at volumes
and speeds far greater than Internet access over traditional phone lines. Broadband
technologies also allow an "always-on" connection with interactive capability. North Richland
Hills supports the deployment of high-speed Internet access and broadband technologies and
recognizes that it is an important economic tool for individuals, businesses, hospitals and
schools. However, we believe that there are issues related to local government authority that
Congress should consider in their efforts to spur rapid deployment.
Local Government Issues:
· Municipalities must be able to act in the interest of our citizens especially where there is no
competition or affordable service, and/or broadband companies pulling out of the market.
· Legislation should not preempt the traditional legal rights of local governments to be
compensated for the use of local rights-of-way, execute generally applicable taxes, an'd
regulate service standards.
· Pending legislation, H.R. 1697, would reopen and reverse the spirit and intent of important
provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 that respected local authority and
taxation powers.
· These issues should be considered in a hearing process in which local governments are
involved so that members of Congress will fully understand the broad implications of these
proposals and their adverse effects on state and local governments.

Transportation and Mass Transit Funding
North Richland Hills supports funding for the expansion of high-speed rail corridors and
continued su.pport of intercitv rail projects as well as continued funding of the Transportation
Equitv Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) to promote alternative modes of transportation.
Transportation congestion in the United States continues to worsen despite the billions of
federal, state and local dollars spent annually on highway infrastructure. It is estimated that
68% of metropolitan freeways are considered congested, with the problem increasing each
year. North Richland Hills, located in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metropolitan Statistical Area, is no
exception to these statistics. As a result, cities are looking for alternative choices for intercity
travel including the development and implementation of passenger rail services and trail
systems to get people off the roads.
Mass transit and rail service funding increases, and expediting transportation projects will
provide relief for highway demands while helping to address air quality issues. Currently, the
Dallas-Fort Worth region has several intercity rail projects under study, including the Cotton belt
Railway; however, these projects are not scheduled to be funded for another 10 to 20 years.
Providing additional funds for mass transit and rail service projects and expediting the process
to begin these projects could significantly benefit the area and result in a decrease in projected
highway needs and improvements in air quality. North Richland Hills urges Congress to pass
legislation to provide funding for the expansion of high-speed rail corridors and for the
continued support of intercity rail projects, especially those that would promote partnerships
among local, state, and federal governments to provide rail as a cost-effective and efficient
mode of transportation. The High-Speed Rail Investment Act of 2001 (S. 250) introduced in the
107th Congress and sponsored by Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison among others, is
promising in its proposal to provide funding for new high-speed rail corridor development.
TEA-21 funding has been an exceptional resource in providing improved and alternative
modes of transportation for the State of Texas, the City of North Richland Hills as well as other
cities across the state. I When combined with the local share of dollars, these funds have
allowed for much needed improvements in transportation and roadways as well as the
construction of multi-use trails to provide alternative forms of transportation.\ With the expiration
of TEA-21 in 2003, North Richland Hills encourages Congress to work toward reauthorization
of this important legislation that has helped local governments make significant strides in
improving transportation in our cities and developing alternative modes of transportation that
help mitigate air quality and traffic congestion.\ In addition, North Richland Hills urges support
for H.R. 3694 in the House and S.1917 in the Senate. \,This legislation amends the
Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century to set highway funding at $27.7 billion in FY
2003, restoring $4.4 billion to the Administration's proposed highway budget. \This restoration
brings the highway program back up to the level that was anticipate when it became law in
1998, and insures that all 50 states will receive their share provided in the formula as required
bylaw.
February 11, 2002

Water Infrastructure Financing
North Richland Hills SUDports legislation that will renew and enhance Federal financial
commitment to assist local governments in meeting their water and wastewater infrastructure
needs.
According to a survey of municipal governments conducted by the EPA and the drinking water
and wastewater industry, there exists a significant gap between federal, state and local
government investments in water infrastructure and the funding necessary to repair,
rehabilitate and replace aging systems. The survey shows that this gap is approaching $23
billion per year in just capital needs. In addition, local governments are facing more costly
mandates regarding these systems, resulting in an estimated 6% increase per year to maintain
and operated local water and wastewater systems. Together, these factors jeopardize the
ability of local water and sewer fees alone to sustain and maintain these systems in the future.
In fact, a recent report compiled by the Water Infrastructure Network maintains that local fees
would more than double if local utilities had to make up this funding gap on their own.
North Richland Hills urges Congress to consider legislation that will assist local governments in
sustaining and maintaining its water infrastructure systems, which are vital to the livelihood of
all citizens.
February 11, 2002

Public Safety
Local government is the level of government closest to the people.
As such, Local governments have the primary responsibility for insuring
safety in their communities as well as the safety and welfare of its citizens.
Federal government can and should playa key role in
supporting public safety efforts in local communities.
February 11, 2002
14
Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) Program
North Richland Hills supports the reauthorization of the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant
(LLEBG) program with funding increased or maintained at the current level for local
communities.
The City of North Richland Hills has received funds from the LLEBG program since 1997.
Funds from this grant program have provided emergency police vehicles, police motorcycles
(which have been critical to traffic control and enforcement in our City), and a school resource
officer to insure public safety in our schools. Overall, LLEBG funds have assisted North
Richland Hills in lowering the crime rate each year.
Over the course of the past few years, total funding provided to cities under LLEBG has
steadily decreased. Direct federal crime prevention assistance is an important component of
the public safety program in North Richland Hills because it provides additional resources for
necessary equipment and staff to better serve our community. As such, it is important that this
significant program be continued for many years with a funding increase, or, at the very least,
at a level consistent with current funding to allow for accurate strategic planning of public
safety programs in our community.

Homeland Security
North Richland Hills SUDportS legislation that will provide financial assistance to improve local
emergency response and preparedness to help increase national defense efforts.
In the wake of the September 11 th terrorist attacks, every local government has experienced
increased demand for emergency response as well as increased interest in public safety and
disaster response. In addition, local governments across the county are attempting to enhance
and improve local emergency response and preparedness capabilities to support our country's
urgent need to increase national security.
North Richland Hills urges Congress to favorably consider legislation that would provide direct
assistance to local governments for such things as:
· Improving cyber and infrastructure security,
· Modernizing public safety technology and equipment,
· Improving emergency preparedness plans,
· Establishing an effective system for sharing intelligence data, and
· Providing the necessary broadcast frequencies needed for secure, effective, and
interoperable radio communications.

Environmental Interests
The Dallas-Fort Worth Metropolitan Area, which includes
North Richland Hills, is a serious nonattainment area with regard to air
quality. It is important that measures be taken in this area to address this'
problem effectively. In addition, it is important to prevent pollution of our
natural resources.
February 11 , 2002
17
Air Quality
North Richland Hills will support legislation that helps Metropolitan Statistical Areas achieve
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) air quality standards.
It is important that Federal legislation on this issue help Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs)
achieve EPA air quality standards. The DFW area is a serious non-attainment area. Through
the coordination efforts of the North Central Texas Council of Governments (including the
North Texas Clean Air Coalition and the Regional Transportation Council), and measures
taken by cities, the DFW region has made great efforts over the last 10 years to improve air
quality and meet EPA standards. In fact, the region's most recent Strategic Implementation
Plan (SIP) to improve air quality in the region was recently adopted by the Texas Natural
resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) and has been submitted to the EPA. However,
additional measures must be taken for the region to be able to bring air quality to acceptable
levels. If air quality is not improved, we could be facing loss of Federal and State funds for
transportation, economic development and other areas.
North Richland Hills supports legislation that would assist in improving the air quality in our
region including such measures as:
· Continue providing funds for the implementation of alternative and low emissions fuel
programs for public vehicle fleets.
· Open mass transit and fixed rail projects to additional federal funding without diverting
highway trust fund monies to such projects.
· Funding for 135 NAFT A Corridor enhancements
· Airport emissions reduction
· Recognition of air quality problem in areas south of the border
· Remove threat of funding loss if air quality standards are not met

Subject: Consider Revision of Building Permit Fees to reflect Agenda Number: GN 2002-018
changes in corrected Building Code Tables. - Ordinance No. 2606.
Staff rs bringing this ordinance revision forward to be in conformance with current Buidling
Code Tables. The previous ordinance and fee tables incorrectly stated the proper fee
requirements. Building Permit Fees are based on total valuations. The corrected fee table
represented buildings greater than $1 million. The recently approved table required
$5,202.75 for each $1,000,000 in valuation and $2.89 for each additional $1,000,000 or
fraction thereof. The revised fee table indicates $2.89 for each $1,000 above the first
million dollars, This change has been reflected in the new Building Code Tables.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Ordinance 2606 as a revised Building Permit Fee
schedule.

Subject: Award Bid for Fire Department Fleet Maintenance Truck to Agenda Number: PU 2002-003
Classic Chevrolet in the Amount of $37,654
In the 2001/2002 approved budget, Council appropriated funds for the replacement of the
Fire Department fleet maintenance truck. This truck will replace a 1986 unit that meets the
age and replacement criteria. Formal bids were solicited for a cab and chassis with a
service body and the results are outlined below.
Classic Chevrolet
Hudiburg Chevrolet
Grande Ford Truck Sales
$37,654
$39,828
$37,435 (incomplete, does not meet specs)
The truck was originally included in the bid for the 2002 vehicles. At the 11/26/2001
meeting, Council rejected the bid for this truck because all bids submitted did not meet the
minimum specifications (PU 2001-041).
The bid submitted by Grande Ford was incomplete and does not meet the minimum
specifications in several areas. The bid submitted by Hudiburg Chevrolet is not within the
3% required for local preference award. The bid submitted by Classic Chevrolet met all
'- the specifications and general conditions and they can deliver the truck within 120 days.
Recommendation: To award the bid for the Fire Department fleet maintenance truck to
Classic Chevrolet in the amount of $37,654.

Subject: Authorize Lease/Purchase of Communications Recording Agenda Number: PU 2002-004
Equipment from Dictaphone through the H-GAC Cooperative
Purchasing Agreement
The current Police Department communications recording equipment was purchased in
1995. The annual maintenance for this equipment has gone up to $17,207 per year and
will continue to increase each year.'
This equipment can be replaced with new digital equipment from Dictaphone through the
H-GAC interlocal agreement. The annual lease amount will be $15,328.82 for 48 months.
This amount also includes maintènance for the fifth year and all future software upgrades
for the life of the equipment. In addition to having new updated equipment, the estimated
savings over the four years will be approximately $19,540.
We are requesting that the Council authorize this purchase and that the funds budgeted for
the annual maintenance agreement be used for the first lease payment. Purchasing this
equipment through the H-GAC Cooperative Purchasing Program satisfies all state laws
that require solicitation of competitive bids.
Recommendation: To authorize the lease/purchase of communications recording
equipment from Dictaphone through the H-GAC Cooperative Purchasing Program and
authorization to utilize earlier funds budgeted for maintenance as the funds to be used for
the first lease payment.

Subject: Presentation of 2000-2001 Audited Financial Report
Agenda Number: Gtt 2002-016
The results of the 2000-2001 Annual Financial Report for the City will be jointly presented
by Director of Finance, Larry Koonce and Terry Kile of the independent audit firm of
Deloitte and Touche. Larry Koonce will review the year-end results and fund balance data
for the various Funds (General, Enterprise, etc.) as well as other financial impacts. Mr.
Kile will present the audit opinion and be available to respond to questions regarding the
report.
The auditor's opinion is again an unqualified opinion or a "clean" opinion. This means that
they have found the Financial Statements of the City of North Richland Hills to present
fairly our financial position.
Included in the Council packet is a copy of the financial report and attached to the cover
sheet is a summary of the various City Funds showing the results of the changes in Fund
Balances from 2000 to 2001. As of September 30, 2001, the General Fund undesignated
balance was $8,357,236. City Council's goal is to have at least 60 days of operations in
reserve. This ending balance represents 101 days of FY 2002 General Fund budgeted
operating expenditures. The City exceeded its budgeted goals for fiscal year 2001 adding
over $4 million to operating fund balances citywide. All funds ended in positive balances
allowing the City to increase its reserves, improve its cash flows, complete capital projects
and protect the City's investment in infrastructure.
Also attached is a letter from Deloitte and Touche required by the statement on Auditing
Standards Number 61. This basically reviews the procedures they took during the audit
and their observations of the City's cooperation in the process. The results of this process
can best be summarized by the auditor's comment on page 2 of this letter. "In our
judgement, we received the full cooperation of the City's management and staff and had
unrestricted access to the City's senior management in the performance of our audit."
Overall, the City of North Richland Hills' results of operations during the 2000-2001 fiscal
year, as well as the financial position at year-end reflect a sound fiscal condition. This is in
fulfillment of Council Goal 4: Financially Responsible City Government.
RECOMMENDATION:
To accept the 2000-2001 Audited Financial Report as presented.

The Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of North Richland Hills, Texas
Dear Mayor and Council:
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the City of North Richland Hills (the "City")
for the year ended September 30, 2001, and have issued our report thereon dated January 4, 2002.
Our professional standards require that we communicate with you concerning certain matters that may be
of interest to you in fulfilling your obligation to oversee the financial reporting and disclosure process for
which management of the City is responsible. We have prepared the folloviing comments to assist you in
fulfilling that obligation,
OUR RESPONSIBILITY UNDER AUDITING STANDARDS GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERlCA AND GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS ISSUED BY THE
COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES
Our responsibility under auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America
("generally accepted auditing standards") and standards applicable to financial audits contained in
Government Auditing Standards has been described to you in our engagement letter. As described in that
letter, those standards require, among other things, that we obtain an understanding of the City's internal
control sufficient to plan the audit and to determine the nature, timing, and extent of audit procedures to
be performed, We have issued a separate report to you, also dated January 4,2002, containing our
comments on the City's internal control.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The City's significant accounting policies are set forth in Note 1 to the general purpose financial
statements, During the year ended September 30, 2001, the City implemented GASB Statement No, 33,
which requires contributions to be recorded as revenues rather than as additions to contributed capital.
MANAGEMENT JUDGMENTS AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are
based on management's current judgments, Those judgments are normally based on knowledge and
experience about past and current events and on assumptions about future events, Significant accounting
estimates reflected in the City's 2001 financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts
and the accrual for compensated absences, Those estimates are normal and were determined by the City
on bases consistent with those used in prior years,

AUDIT ADJUSTMENTS
Our audit was designed to obtain reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement, whether caused by error or fraud, In addition, we are obligated
by generally accepted auditing standards to infonn you of any adjustments arising from the audit that could,
in our judgment, either individually or the aggregate, have a significant effect on the City's financial
reporting process, There were no such adjustments in the current year.
In addition, we are obligated by generally accepted auditing standards to inform you about uncorrected
misstatements (regardless of whether they have a significant effect on the financial reporting process)
aggregated by us during the current engagement and pertaining to the latest period presented that were
determined by management to be immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, to the financial
statements taken as a whole. There are no such uncorrected misstatements, as all misstatements detected in
our audit have been corrected by management.
DISAGREEMENTS WITH MANAGEMENT
We have not had any disagreements with management related to matters that are material to the 200 I general
purpose financial statements.
CONSULTATION WITH OTHER ACCOUNTANTS
We are not aware of management having consultations with other independent pubJic accountants regarding
accounting or auditing matters during the year.
MAJOR ISSUES DISCUSSED WITH MANAGEMENT PRIOR TO RETENTION
Throughout the year, routine discussions regarding the application of accounting principles or auditing
standards were held with management in connection with transactions that have occurred, transactions that
are contemplated, or reassessment of current circumstances, In our judgment, such discussions were not held
in connection with our retention as auditors.
DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED IN PERFORMING THE AUDIT
In our judgment, we received the full cooperation ofthe City's management and staff and had unrestricted
access to the City's senior management in the performance of our audit.
OTHER INFORMA TION IN THE COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT
When audited financial statements are included in documents containing other information, such as the
City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America require that we read such other information and consider whether it, or the manner of its
presentation, is materially inconsistent with the information, or the manner of its.presentation, in the
financial statements audited by us, We have read the other information in the City's Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report for the year ended September 30, 200], and have inquired as to the methods of
measurement and presentation of such information. If we had noted a material inconsistency, or if we had
obtained any knowledge of a material misstatement of fact in the other information, we would have discLlssed
this matter with management and, if appropriate, with the City Council.

REQUEST FROM MARK LONG FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE FINAL PLAT
OF LOT 1, BLOCK 1, LONG ESTATES ADDITION LOCATED IN THE 9000 BLOCK
OF RUMFIELD ROAD (1.677 ACRES)
APPROVED
Zoning Administrator Cathy Horton summarized the case. This is a final plat on
property owned by Mark Long. The property is currently zoned agriculture. The
purpose of the plat is to get the site ready for residential development and the applicant
will need to follow up with a zoning case to a residential zoning district in order to
receive building permits for the development. The plat does comply with rules and
regulations from the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances. Our Comprehensive Plan
shows a mixture of open space and office uses for the general area. When taking a
closer look at the details, this site is developable and single family residential would be
an appropriate use of this location. Access to the site is to Rumfield Road and staff
recommends approval of the plat subject to the comments that are attached,
Chairman Bowen stated that this is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan. If
approved, would that designation remain?
Ms, Horton replied that the plan would remain with that designation on it and in the
future when the plan is revised, staff would revise the designation accordingly.
There were no further questions for staff or the applicant and the Chairman called for a
motion.
Mr. Turnage, seconded by Mr, Nehring, motioned to approve PS 2002-06 subject to
staff comments. The motion carried unanimously (7-0).

REQUEST FROM ALAMO CUSTOM BUILDERS INC. FOR THE APPROVAL
OF THE FINAL PLAT OF LOT 22R, BLOCK 1, RICHFIELD AT THE PARKS
ADDITION LOCATED AT 7798 CHANDLER COURT
APPROVED
Zoning Administrator Cathy Horton summarized the case. The purpose of this replat is
to ready the site for single-family residential development. An existing 7.5-foot utility
easement located in the center of the lot is being moved to the eastern portion of the lot
to create a more buildable lot area. The site does comply with the Subdivision rules
and regulations, Zoning regulations and the Comprehensive Plan. The property is
zoned R-3-1800 which requires a minimum 1800 sq, ft. residence. Access to this site
will only be permitted to Chandler Court, Staff recommends approval of the plat.
Mr. Welch noted that the screening wall and sidewalk will fall 25 feet short of the
concrete channel because on the original plat Lot 22R had a lot line of 65 feet wide
which, with this replat, will now be approximately 85-90 feet wide. He inquired as to
whether or not the applicant would be required to extend the screening wall and
sidewalk an additional 25 feet to the concrete channel.
Mr. Curtis responded that the Subdivision Ordinance requires masonry screening walls
and sidewalks adjacent to the property. This replat falls under those ordinances.
There were no further questions and the Chairman called for a motion,
Mr. Welch, seconded by Mr. Tucker, motioned to approve PS 2002-09 subject to staff
comments, and to include the requirements to extend the screening wall along
Chapman and the sidewalk up to the existing drainage channel. The motion carried
unanimously (7-0),

the approval of The Final Plat of Lots 1 & 2, Block 1 House of Grace Addition located in
the 7900 block of Davis Boulevard (11.4 acres)
Case Summary:
Wayne Flores of Washington and Associates has submitted a Final Plat for the House of
Grace Addition. The preliminary plat for this addition (ref. PS2001-21) was approved by
the Planning and Zoning Commission on October 25th of last year.
The Development Review Committee has reviewed the plat for compliance with the
Subdivision Rules and Regulations, The plat complies with both the Zoning and
Subdivision Ordinances. Attached is a memo from the Public Works Department
concerning this plat. Also attached is a letter from the church concerning street access,
"--
The church is requesting the city allow a detention pond to be constructed in lieu of
constructing the required downstream drainage improvements. The plan~s for the detention
pond meet the design criteria that the staff is proposing in the (future) Detention Pond
Ordinance but does not meet the landscaping requirement around the pond. The submittal
and review process for the House of Grace began prior to the development of the city's
Detention Pond Ordinance. Therefore, the church has not been asked by staff to provide
landscaping around the pond. The proposed detention pond is located at the rear of the
property and not adjacent to any major street. Council may want to consider requesting
the church to provide landscaping around the pond.
Current Zoning: R-2 and R-3 Residential. Churches are a permitted use in all zoning
categories.
Comprehensive Plan: The Plan indicates public/semi-public uses for the southern half of
the site. The northern half of the site is portrayed as retail. The applicant's proposal is
consistent with that portion of the plan indicating public/semi-public use.
Right Of Way: No additional street ROW is required for this development.
Utilities: In an attached letter, the applicant's engineer is requesting the Commission and
Council waive a requirement for a 7.5' utility easement.

PS 2002-03
REQUEST FROM WAYNE FLORES FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE FINAL
PLAT OF LOTS 1 AND 2, BLOCK 1, HOUSE OF GRACE ADDITION LOCATED IN
THE 7900 BLOCK OF DAVIS BOULEVARD (11.4 ACRES)
APPROVED
Zoning Administrator Cathy Horton summarized the case. This is a final plat for the
House of Grace church. The preliminary plat of this addition was approved by the
Commission last year on October 25. The site is zoned residential and churches are
permitted within that zoning district. The Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance and
Subdivision rules and regulations are met by this plan, There is one issue outstanding
with utilities. The applicant wishes to have the Commission and Council waive a
requirement for a 7.5-foot utility easement on this property. The site is heavily wooded
and a tree survey would have to be submitted during the permitting process for this
development. Staff recommends approval subject to staff comments, including the
requirement for the 7.5-foot utility easement.
Chairman Bowen asked for clarification of the contents of a letter sent by House of
Grace. Is the statement in the letter from House of Grace in agreement with the City or
is this a request from the City that House of Grace participate in the cost of upgrading
the street (Northfield Park road).
Cathy Horton replied that the property owner will not be requesting access in lieu of
participating in the cost of upgrading the street. If at any time they change their mind,
they will have to come to the City and request access to that road.
Chairman Bowen asked that the applicant come forward and explain his request for
waiver of the easement.
Wayne Flores, Washington & Associates Engineers, 3950 Fossil Creek Blvd., Fort
Worth, came forward and stated that the requirement for the 7.5-foot easement came
up late in the review process after the plans had been designed without the easement.
Mr. Flores met with Mr. Curtis, Public Works to discuss this requirement. Mr. Flores
feels that the easement is not needed because all the adjacent properties around the
House of Grace church are already developed or they have direct access to Davis
Boulevard, which is where all the franchise utilities come from. Washington &
Associates did show a utility easement on the plans to serve Lot 1, but there has not
been a plan done yet for Lot 2, therefore, they did not want to dedicate easements
without knowing where they will be needed in the future. They would like to come back
in the future and do that by separate instrument.
Mr. Flores further stated that an issue regarding the entrance came up in the pre-
briefing meeting and he wanted to clarify that it is not a one-in, one-out but a two-in,
Page 3 02114/02
P & Z Minutes
two-out. He stated that they did not have enough frontage along Davis Boulevard to
have two entrances to meet City requirements. They were told they could not have
access to the park road because it was not dedicated right-of-way, therefore they were
told to line it up with Bursey Road. Mr. Flores stated that they came to an agreement,
and the Fire Department is in agreement too, to make it a double-wide entrance
separated by a median so if there is an accident, the Fire Department can go on the
opposite side of the median to gain entrance to the property.
Mr. Welch asked if the applicant had considered sight visibility restrictions for
individuals coming out of the development and turning southbound.
Mr. Flores replied that they did not look at sight visibility requirements because initially
they had the entrance further to the South but that the City stipulated that they line up
with Bursey Road.
Mr. Welch objected that even though the City recommended the Bursey Road access, it
is the applicant's responsibility to look at visibility and sight distances and Mr. Welch
suggested that the applicant go back and look at these issues and then meet with Mr.
Curtis to discuss this.
Mr. Bowen asked that Mike Curtis, Director of Public Works, come forward and address
the Commission regarding the utility easement.
Mr. Curtis explained that the current ordinance states that a 7.5-foot utility easement is
required around the perimeter of the property, However, currently there is Davis
Boulevard along the west, the park to the east, and in the future there will probably be
a public road to the south. Most likely there will not be a need for franchise utilities on
those sides of the property. The remaining side, the north side, is questionable. Some
development could, and probably will, take place along the north and the question
becomes whether or not there is need for 7.5-feet on both sides. Typically we ask for
7.5 on each side so we can get a 15-foot utility easement down the property line.
Mr, Welch inquired as to whether it would be feasible to put a 7,5-foot utility easement
on Lot 2 only rather than Lots 1 and 2. He suggested it would be a good compromise.
Mr. Curtis replied that it would be acceptable. He stated that it would address the only
"unknown" which is what will happen, in the future, to the north side of this property and
whether there would be adequate easement to the north.
Mr. Welch asked if Mr. Curtis perceived that a problem exists with the proposed access
lining up with Bursey Road relative to the vertical grade of Davis Boulevard.
Mr. Curtis stated that he did not check the sight visibility. He explained that the request
for lining up with Bursey resulted from the fact that this is a City collector street
intersecting Davis Boulevard. Staff recommended that the applicant line up there
Page 4 02/14/02
P & Z Minutes
because there was not proper offset and it made sense to go ahead and line up with
the intersecting street. Mr. Curtis stated that it is unknown if there is going to be a sight
visibility problem. He believes that this is the best place for the entrance because the
applicant is correct in that he does not have the distance spacing to go ahead and try
to put two access points along Davis Blvd.
Mr. Blue asked if there would eventually be a signal light at that intersection.
Mr. Curtis replied that there very likely could be in the future, but it is not needed due to
the development of the church. The peak hours of a church typically are not the
standard peak hours.
Mr. Curtis added a point of clarification regarding the road. It is not dedicated as a
public street. It is owned by the City and it is an access to the park. The applicant
would have preferred to have their access onto that street as well as an access point
on Davis, but staff advised them that if they tied into the street they would be required
to either pay an escrow share of the street or improve the street. The applicant choose
not to pay an escrow or upgrade the street and therefore not to tie into the street. They
furnished a letter that states that they will not tie into the street. City staff is in
agreement that if they are not allowed access it is reasonable not to charge them. If
they come back in the future and want to tie into the street, City Staff will reassess at
that point.
Chairman Bowen questioned if at that point it would be a pro-rata share of some sort.
Mr. Curtis replied that he didn't know exactly how they would be charged, but the staff
of Public Works would be concerned with being in agreement with where they want to
tie into/connect up.
Ron Bollinger, Secretary of the Building Committee for the House of Grace, came
forward to explain the history of the project and to explain how the entrance changed
from further south to its present location. Before buying Lot 1, the Committee met with
City Staff on September 27, 1998. Andy Jones, Barry LeBaron, Julia Skare, and Bill
Thorton were present. The applicant wanted to know the requirements and guidelines
of the property. The applicant was told that there was no availability to the park road,
that they would be required to deal with Davis Boulevard. After purchasing the
property, the adjoining land became available. Since it might have future benefit to the
church, the applicant purchased Lot 2. Coming forward with a joint plat, the City then
requested the alignment with Bursey Road as far as ingress and egress.
Since there were no further comments or questions from Commission members,
Chairman Bowen called for a motion.
Mr. Welch, seconded by Mr. Laubacher, motioned to approve PS 2002-03 subject to
the following comments: A note added to the Final Plat that Block 1 Lot 1 of the House
Page 5 02/14/02
P & Z Minutes
of Grace Addition shall not have an egress/ingress onto the Northfield Park road
without City approval; also there are a couple of typos to clean up on the owner's
dedication. They indicate right now that they are dedicating alleys and parks as part of
this plat. They need to remove that as part of the dedication statement. Also add a
7.5-foot utility easement along the north lot line of Lot 2. The motion carried
unanimously (7-0).

Grace Addition and a response to the memorandum ÍÌ'om Public Works dated January 29,
2002.
1. The water line easement document has been filled out and submitted with the
final plat.
2. House of Grace is asking for a variance on the required 7.5-foot utility easement

Since a plan has not been done for Lot 2, House of Grace will dedicated any
easements needed to serve it in the future by separate instrument. Also, all of the
adjacent properties are either fully developed or have direct access to ÍÌ'anchise
utilities without crossing the House of Grace Addition,
3, The State Plane Coordinates have been added to the final plat.
4. The offsite easements have been added to the final plat.
5. The Owner's Dedication Certificate has been completed.
6. The requested letter has been submitted as an attachment to the final plat.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. Thank you.

Subject: Consideration of a request by the House of Grace for Agenda Number: PZ 2002-06
Approval of a site plan for a church located within 200' of residential zoning. The site is
located in the 7000 block of Davis Boulevard.
Case Summary
The House of Grace Church is requesting approval of a site plan for a new church building
(Phase I) located in the 7900 block of Davis Boulevard. Under current policy churches are
considered commercial structures for the purpose of screening, landscaping and
architectural requirements.
Building Design and Materials - The proposed Phase I building is two stories in height
(approximately 36') and has a building footprint of approximately 21,385 square feet. The
building entrance is oriented in a northwest manner toward Davis Boulevard. A covered
entrance is situated in the southwest corner of the building. Architectural details include: a
three-dimensional entryway feature with columns. Window treatments include archways
with columns and faux windows. Also proposed are multiple plane roofs with Spanish Tile
imitation roof material. A note on the site plan states that all roof-mounted mechanical
equipment will be hidden by parapets. All walls are constructed using a cultured stone
veneer. These features are consistent with the recently adopted standards for non-
residential buildings in excess of 10,000 square feet.
\..... Access and Parking - Access to the site is via one shared entrance/exit point onto Davis
Boulevard. This access point will be shared with Phase 1/ of the development. The
Church has submitted a letter (attached) stating that they have no intentions to access the
park road that parallels the southern boundary of the site, The number of parking spaces
required for churches is based on the number of sanctuary seats. The number of spaces
provided matches that required by ordinance.
Landscaping/Screening - The landscape plan includes a 15' landscape setback along
both Davis Boulevard and the park road, Included in this setback are 3" caliper Cedar
Elms spaced approximately 50' apart. Wax Myrtle shrubs are used along the Davis
Boulevard frontage to screen the proposed parking lot. Parking lot islands are landscaped
with a combination of Live Oak and Cedar Elms. This landscaping is consistent with city
standards. A note on the Plan indicates that the minimum 15% requirement for total

landscaping is exceeded. Another note indicates that the proposed dumpster pad site will
be screened by a wooden fence. The Zoning Ordinance requires pad screening to be of
masonry construction similar in character to the main structure with an opaque gate.
Signage/Lighting - The site plan does not indicate any ground or facade-mounted signs.
Any signs proposed by the church will have to meet all current requirements. A lighting
plan indicates most of the exterior lighting to be either single or double 400 watt shoebox
light fixtures. All are mounted either on 25' pole structures. These are consistent with
ordinance requirements.
Comprehensive Plan - The Comprehensive Plan indicates Public/Semi-public uses for
the Phase I area of this development. The proposed use is consistent with the Plan.
Zoning/Land Use - The site is currently zoned R-2 Residential. Churches are a permitted
use in any zoning district.

East:
South:
West:
R-3 / Two residential structures, mostly vacant (Phase II of church development)
AG / Northfield Park (softball complex, vacant)
AG / Two residential structures, mostly vacant
C-1 I Vacant
"-'
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of this site plan subject to revising the
dumpster pad screening according to current regulation and showing ground signage
rather than pole signage along the Davis Boulevard frontage, Signage will meet all current
regulations. When Phase 1/ is developed in the future with any structures other than
existing, a site plan will be required for that area.
The Planning and Zoning Commission met on Thursday, February 14, 2002 and voted 7 to
o to recommend approval of this request with the following stipulations:
1) Dumpster enclosure to be of masonry material according to city standards.
2) Relocate dumpster enclosure north of park road frontage area.
3) Place a note on the site plan stating that signs limited to one monument sign
meeting current sign standards.
The applicant has submitted a revised site plan that complies with these stipulations.
If the Council determines that this site plan is acceptable, the following motion is
recommended: Approval of PZ 2002-06 as recommended by the Planning and
Zoning Commission.

REQUEST BY THE HOUSE OF GRACE CHURCH FOR APPROVAL OF A
SITE PLAN FOR A CHURCH LOCATED WITHIN 200 FEET OF RESIDENTIAL
ZONING. THE SITE IS LOCATED IN THE 7900 BLOCK OF DAVIS BOULEVARD.
APPROVED
Zoning Administrator Cathy Horton summarized the case. This is the same property as
the plat that was just approved. Because the church is adjacent to residential zoning, a
site plan is required by our Zoning Ordinance. The church will be over 21,000 sq. ft in
size. It has a 3-dimensional entryway and features columns. Window treatments
include archways with columns and faux windows. Multiple planes are proposed for the
roof structure which will be encased in Spanish tile roof material. All of the roof
mounted equipment will be screened by parapet walls and the building construction
material will be of stone veneer. This complies with our recently approved building
articulation and architectural requirements. Access is to Davis Boulevard. The
Commission and applicant have agreed that no access at this time will be to Northfield
Park road. In terms of landscaping, this proposed plan meets and exceeds the
minimum requirements of our Landscape Ordinance. The only notation we would make
is that the dumpster pad screening should be of masonry construction similar to that of
the main building. The applicant provided a detailed lighting plan for this development
and that plan is consistent with our ordinance requirements. The Comprehensive Plan
shows public/semi-public uses on Phase I of the development and this is consistent
with our land use plan, We recommend approval of the site plan subject to revising the
dumpster pad screening, regulations to reflect current ordinances, and we would
recommend a ground sign or monument sign be shown rather than any pole sign along
the Davis frontage and that signage will meet the current ordinance regulations. When
Phase II is further developed, an additional site plan will be required for approval by the
Commission and Council.
Chairman Bowen asked if the applicant is aware of the changes in the dumpster
screening,
Mike McAdams with the Barron Companies, architect for this project for the House of
Grace came forward. He stated that they are aware of the masonry requirement and
they will take care of it.
Mr. Bowen asked if they would use ground signage rather than pole signage.
Mr, McAdams replied, "that's correct."
Mr. Welch recommended that they move the dumpsters further north into the property
away from the entrance to Northfield Park.
Page 7 02/14/02
P & Z Minutes
Mr. McAdams replied that they would be willing to move the dumpsters to the north
corner.
Since there were no other comments, Chairman Bowen called for a motion.
Mr. Blue, seconded by Mr. Welch, motioned to approve PZ 2002-06 subject to staff
comments, especially the masonry wall requirements around the dumpster and also to
relocate the dumpsters on the site to the far northern portion of the lot. The motion
carried unanimously (7-0).

Sum.mary of PI ann in a and Zonina Commission Discussion
This request was denied by the Commission on November 20, 2001. Mr. Ko appealed the
Commission's recommendation and on January 14th the City Council conducted a public
hearing on the request. At that time the Council closed the hearing and made a formal
request that Mr. Ko's latest proposal be returned to the Commission for discussion and
comment.
The Commission reviewed this request again on February 14,.2002. The discussion was
split between some members those who felt they could not support the case and those
who felt that Mr. Ko had shown a good faith effort to revise his site plan. Those members
that supported the request added the following stipulations:
1) The dumpster should be screened with masonry materials as required by city
codes.
"-.
Along the west-side of the building, a 6' masonry wall should be constructed from
the Glenview Drive property line back to the existing building.
3) All existing wood fences along the remaining west and north property lines will be
replaced with new wood fencing.
2)
Mr. Ko has addressed these comments in the attached revised site plan with the exception
of a new fence along the north property line. It should ~Iso be noted that the proposed
monument sign will require a minimum of 8" of masonry surrounding the sign face.
If the Council is agreeable, these revisions should be included in any motion to approve.

CITY OF
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
Case Summary
\
,,-, Mr. Kae Son Ko, is requesting to rezone .81 acres from LR Local Retail to PD Planned
Development. The property is located at 8015 Glenview Drive. The purpose of this
request is to permit the construction of a self-serve gasoline facility (six pumps total) as an
accessory use to an existing convenience store.
The existing buildings in this development (and their configuration) are non-conforming
with regard to: use (convenience store requires a SUP withsita plan approval), screening,
buffering, landscaping, and parking. Because the proposed gasoline facility is an
expansion of a non-conforming use and that expam~ion exceeds 30% of the existing
development, this plan development request triggers numerous variance requests. It
should be noted that the majority of the variances requested are based on the site's
existing circumstances and conditions (building location/setback, size of property, ., etc.)
Because of the existing nonconforming structures, the following variances are requested
by this proposal:
· To permit the existing 6' wood fence along the west and north property lines in lieu
of the required 6,' masonry wall when adjacent to residential zoning.
· To permit the existing rear setback of 9' in lieu of the required 35' setback required
when adjacent to residential zoning.
· To waive the required 15' landscape buffers required along the west and north
property lines.
''"'-, . To waive the required minimum 15% landscaping of the site in lieu of the 7.5 %
provided by this plan.
· To permit the existing trash dumpster location to be un screened by masonry walls
and an opaque gate. The current pad site is shielded from public street view by the
existing buildings,
· To waive 15 required parking spaces (1 space per 250 square feet of pad area).
The following site improvements proposed by Mr. Ko meet current city requirements:
· 15' landscape setback along Glenview Drive. The proposal actually provides more
screening shrubs that required (34'shrubs vs 31 required).
· The gasoline canopy has a 4/12 pitch roof and brick-cladded support columns
· A note on the face of the site plan states that all canopy and monument signs will
meet city regulations.
· Although not a requirement, a note of the site plan indicates that the applicant will
reconstruct and/or replace the existing site pavement.
Staff Recommendation:
\
'-'
It is apparent to city staff that Mr. Ko has made a good faith effort to upgrade his site plan
proposal to meet city standards. The visual appearance of the site will be upgraded by the
proposed improvements (Mr. Ko has torn down two dilapidated structures to make room
for the gasoline canopy). Though the request is not consistent with the neighborhood retail
designation of the Comprehensive Plan, approval of the r~uest should result in an overall
PZ 2001-19 Mr. Ko CC sum.

DISCUSSION OF A REQUEST FROM KAE SON KO FOR A ZONING CHANGE
ON 1.006 ACRES FROM LR LOCAL RETAIL COMMERCIAL TO PD PLANNED
DEVELOPMENT AND SITE PLAN APPROVAL FOR ALL LR LOCAL RETAIL USES
PLUS A CONVENIENCE STORE WITH ACCESSORY GASOLINE SALES. THE SITE
IS LOCATED AT 8015 GLENVIEW DRIVE
NO VOTE - DISCUSSION ITEM ONLY
Zoning Administrator Cathy Horton summarized the request. This request was before
the Planning & Zoning Commission during December of last year. At that time the
Commission conducted a public hearing on the request and denied the request. The
applicant then went forward to City Council and requested a public hearing. The City
Council granted the applicant a public hearing. At that hearing a number of issues
came forward and the Council would like to hear comment on those issues tonight. The
Council closed the hearing and made note that a number of variances, and there are
quite a few, are due to existing site conditions, Le., building setbacks, landscape
setback areas, because two of these structures are existing on the site a number of the
variances would have to be granted even for the site to exist as it does today. They are
basically nonconforming situations.
Two outstanding variances that may want to be further looked at would be perhaps
upgrading the existing wood fence to a new wood fence and perhaps requiring the
dumpster location to be screened according to the ordinance requirements. Those two
additions could add to what the applicant has already done. Since the Council meeting
date, the applicant has come in and clarified more of the landscaping along Glenview,
and clarified that he would only be requesting a monument sign and not a pole sign
along the Glenview frontage which is a major entrance to the City.
Ms. Horton stated that the Commission members are looking at a balancing act with a
request for planned development zoning. The Commission would be granting him the
additional use of a convenience store with gas pumps in the canopy area. By allowing
that, the City would be receiving upgrades to the parking lot, to the landscaping along
the street frontage and certainly to the signage. The Council is interested in hearing
the Planning & Zoning Commissioners thoughts and comments with regard to this
request and improving site conditions in this area.
Mr. Nehring stated that the applicant is trying to upgrade that property and this is what
this Commission and the Council are interested in. The variances for the screening
wall and the dumpster should not be granted, and the others, because of the existing
building, you can't change some of those so those could be granted. The applicant is
making a good faith effort to improve his property and keep this business going.
Page 11 02114/02
P & Z Minutes
Mr. Turnage commented that the applicant has made real progress and he salutes Mr.
Ko for trying to accommodate the City's desires to beautify this particular area. Mr.
Turnage agrees with the comments already stated. The fence as it extends south
beyond the building should be masonry and the wood fence behind the building
running back to the north should be replaced. There should be an underground
irrigation system to provide irrigation to the landscaping to make sure that it is properly
maintained.
Mr. Tucker commented that we are crowding an already nonconforming into a worse
nonconforming. It may beautify, but that is no excuse. It can't be helped what is
already there, but the only reason this is happening is because the applicant wants to
put a gasoline island in and that is not good enough reason to cause all of this
commotion.
Mr. Welch concurred with Mr. Tucker's comments. The applicant is trying to add a
gasoline facility and even though he has done a good job, there should be additional
improvements. Mr. Welch is against this,
Chairman Bowen commented that he agrees with Mr. Nehring and Mr. Tucker. There
are existing variances on the existing piece of property and you can only do so much.
A new wooden fence would help, Masonry on the western boundary would not be
necessary because the property next to it will eventually be a commercial property and
at that point a masonry fence is not required.
Mr. Blue agrees with Mr. Tucker and Mr. Welch on their comments. Mr. Blue does not
feel that you can crowd more into the existing space and make it look better. In
addition, there will be issues of safety. It will generate more traffic in that area with the
gas pumps and it is a crowded area already.
Mr. Laubacher concurs with the comments made by Mr. Tucker and Mr. Welch.

CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A REQUEST BY CHESTER
ROSS ON BEHALF OF THE PROPERTY OWNER, KAE SON KO, FOR A
ZONING CHANGE ON .81 ACRES OF LAND FROM LR LOCAL RETAILS TO
PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR ALL LR LOCAL RETAIL USES PLUS A
CONVENIENCE STORE WITH ACCESSORY GASOLINE SALES AND SITE
PLAN APPROVAL AT 8015 GLENVIEW DRIVE.
DENIED
Zoning Administrator Cathy Horton summarized the case by stating the case was
continued at the last meeting to allow the applicant to show the canopy over the
island in greater detail with a pitched roof and move the pumps back. The
applicant shows a pitched roof for the canopy, however the pump islands have
not been moved back, There are many variances requested for this submittal.
Some are mandated because the site is built. A list of the variances being
requested is as follows:
1.) A 9' rear building setback instead of the 35' required along the west side of
Building A and the north side of Building B. (1 Variance)
2.) Waive the required 15' landscape buffer and 6' masonry screening wall
requirement along the west and north property boundaries in favor of the 6'
wood fence. Waive the requirement for 1 tree (within the parking area) per
every 20 parking spaces. (3 variances).
3,) Waive the requirement of 35 parking spaces for the existing uses in favor of
the 24 existing spaces. (1 Variance).
4,) Waive the requirement for masonry screening of the dumpster location. (1
Variance),
Also the note on the canopy elevation states "For Bid only - not to be used for
construction or permit" should be removed.
Chairman Don Bowen opened the public hearing and asked Mr. Ross a question
regarding why the canopy was not moved back,
Chester Ross, 3437 Wendell Dr. representing this request stated they can
certainly move it back if required by zoning purposes. He states that he has
been on vacation.
Chairman Don Bowen closed the public hearing.
George Tucker, seconded by Ted Nehring, motioned to deny PZ 2001-19 due to
too many variances for this particular site and that it appears the site is being
over built. The motion carried (5-2-0) with Chairman Don Bowen and Scott
Turnage voting in opposition.

Subject: Appeal hearing to consider a request by Trac-Wash Agenda Number: PZ 2002-03
Enterprises for a Special Use Permit (SUP) in a C-2 Commercial District for a self-serve
car wash facility in the 6800 block of Glenview Drive. Ordinance No. 2805
Case Summary
Jeff Taylor, on behalf of the property owner Trac-Wash. Enterprises, has submitted a Special
Use Permit (SUP) request for the construction of a self-serve car wash facility. The site is
located in the 6800 block of Glenview Drive and is currently zoned C-2. The proposed use
requires approval of a SUP and site plan due to the adjacent residential zoning.
Last year the applicant had applied for approval of a PD Planned Development and site plan for
the same use (ref. PZ 2000-50). That request was approved by the Commission on 9/27/01 but
denied by the City Council on 10/22/01. Central to this' previous request was the elimination of
the required 15' landscape buffer along the east property line of the site. The applicant has
since revised the site plan and has included this required buffer. The site plan submitted with
the current case meets all ordinance requirements. A Preliminary Plat (PS 2001-03) for this site
was approved by the Commission on September 27th of last year.
The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this current request on January 24th and
voted to recommend denial. The applicant has subsequently submitted a letter (attached)
"- requesting an appeal to the City Council.
Building Design and Materials - The car wash facility consists of six wash bays (including one
handicapped) facing Glenview Drive. The current site plan has reduced the widths of these
stalls from 15.67' to 1.4.57' and 20.33' to 19.66'. The equipment room has been moved from the
wash area to the vacuuming area. The number of vacuuming stalls has been reduced from 5 to
4 to provide room for this equipment room. Building construction consists of a brick facade and
support columns. All structures feature a 6/12 roof pitch with composition fiberglass shingles,
Access- Access to the facility is limited to one 31' wide driveway located in the center of the
site from Glenview Drive. This feature is unchanged from the previous PD request.

Landscaping/Screening - The site plan provides a landscape setback along the
Glenview Drive that exceeds the minimum 15' required. Within this setback are four, 3.5
"caliper Live Oak trees. These satisfy the minimum tre, requirement along the Glenview
Street frontage. Also provided are 30 Dwarf Burford Hollies lining the driveway entrance to
the site. The site has residential adjacency along the east property line although the
adjacent property is' vacant. A 20' street, drainage, and utility easement (concrete
channel) also parallels this boundary. The site plan provides the required 6' masonry wall
and 15' landscape buffer along t~ west-side of thee}(isting channel. Although the
landscape buffer providès the correct number (9) of screening trees along this boundary,
the trees are not evenly spaced along the common property line with the adjacent multi-
family zoning. The plan should be revised to provide even spacing and screening along
this boundary.
One dumpster pad is proposed in the far southwest comer of the site. The site plan notes
that the pad is screened with materials that match the building façade. The screen
elevations are unclear as to the type of proposed gate. Gates will need to be opaque to
meet standards and should be identified as such.
Signage/Lighting - One monument sign is proposed to be located one the east-side of
the entrance. The sign has an overall height of twelve feet with a sign surface area of
30.25 square feet and an overall area of 105.0 square feet. The sign foundation consists
of similar brick as the building with split-face CMU used as a base. External ground lights
will be used for illumination. The sign is consistent with current standards and is
"- unchanged from the previous request.
The applicant will be providing an illumination plan for the site. The staff will present this
plan at the Commission's work session prior to the meeting.
Comprehensive Plan - The Comprehensive Plan recommends Neighborhood Service
uses for the site. Neighborhood Service uses are described as those permitting a limited
range of service establishments and retail stores for the benefit of adjacent and nearby
residential areas. The proposed use is considered more intense than this depiction. This
site is located within the South Grapevine Highway Strategic Planning Area.
Zoning/Land Use - The site is currently zoned C-2 Commercial and is vacant.

o to recommend denial of this request.
If the Council determines that this Speci¡a. Use Permit is acceptable, the following
motion is recommended: Approval of PZ 2002-03 and Ordinance No 2605.

designation for service uses in the area and that he wasn't comfortable with a car wash
close to a school.

Tim Welch commented that Council would more than likely deny this request due to the
Comprehensive Plan Use.
Applicant Dan Wallen, 2500 FM 3041 in Corsicana, expressed disappointment that he
would be turned down after spending so much money and 18 months to be denied.
Chairman Don Bowen read a letter received from Jeanette Klein stating that she is in
opposition to PZ 2002-03, that it is not compatible with the school and the residential
area.
Chairman Don Bowen closed the public hearing.
Ted Nehring, seconded by Scott Turnage, motioned to deny PZ 2002-03. The motion
carried unanimously (7-0) due to its inconsistency with the Comprehensive Land Use
Plan.

RE: Trac-Wash Car Wash P&Z Commission Appeal
Mayor Charles Scoma and Members of City Council,
We are requesting an appeal of the January 24,2002 Planning & Zoning Commission's
decision to deny a Special Use Permit for Trac-Wash Car Wash on Glenview Drive. We
feel this project is appropriate for the location given the zoning of the property and the
adjacent uses. We have made every change requested by the City of North Richland
Hills staff since submitting the application for Special Use Permit for this project
December 21,2000. This project meets all design requirements set forth by the City of
North Richland Hills, We would like to present this project to the City Council for
approval ofthe Special Use Permit,
Please contact me if you require any additional information or have any questions,
Sincerely,

Re: City Council SUP Appeal
Trac-Wash
North Richland Hills
This letter is to inform City Council of the process we have experienced and the basis for
the appeal of the P&Z decision regarding the special use permit (SUP) denial.
Arthur and Wallendorf Consultants performed a preliminary feasibility of the site with
regards to zoning and land use on August 2,2000. It was determined the site was zoned
C2 Commercial and for our proposed use of a car wash that an SUP would be required.
We met with John Pitstick at that time and discussed the use. We felt the use would be
applicable to this site given the zoning, land use plan in effect at that time and adjacent
land uses. On December 21, 2000 ten sets of the proposed construction plans and
preliminary plat were submitted to the City of North Richland Hills. Comments were
received on the first submittal, on January 12,2001 (see attached comment list dated
January 12,2001.) The plans were revised to reflect the comments and were resubmitted
on January 15,2001. (A complete time line of the project is attached to this letter.) The
first set of comments from Public Works was received on February 7,2001 and
additional comments were received on February 9, 2001 (see attached comment lists
dated February 7, 2001 and February 9,2001.) This set of comments included a
requirement of producing a revised flood study for Mackey Creek, which traverses the
east property line of the property. This required the owner to provide a revision to the
existing City of North Richland Hills flood studies due to a change in the drainage
criteria that was made by the City. The flood study was performed as requested by the
City and subsequently delayed the next submittal to June.
Upon completion of the flood study 20 sets of the SUP, preliminary plat, building
elevations and color boards were submitted to the City of North Richland Hills on June 6,
2001. Comments were received from the planning department on June 18,2001 (see
attached comment lists dated June 18). There was only a minor comment from Planning.
Comments were received from the City's consulting engineer on June 28, 2001 and from
Public Works on July 2, 2001 (see attached comment lists dated June 28, 2001, June 26,
2001 and July 2, 2001, no comments from planning). On August 8, 2001 10 sets of the
Plat and SUP were resubmitted after all comments were incorporated into the drawings.

Comments were received from planning on August 6,2001 (see attached comment lists
dated August 16,2001) This comment list notes, for the first time, that an additional 15'
Landscape buffer would be required along the east property line adjacent to the multi-
family zoned property. This comment caused a great adverse impact to the development.
The site plan and construction plans had been developed at this point. The site had
undergone three reviews and should have been nearing completion and approval. The
site had been reviewed three prior times and no comment had been made regarding the
15' landscape buffer. Given the fact that an existing 20' concrete channel completely
located on subject tract separated the adjacent east property we felt this was a sufficient
separation given the intended use of the landscape buffer. After discussions regarding
this issue with City staff we resubmitted the project requesting PD zoning due to the 15'
Landscape Buffer.
The request for PD zoning was made on September 4,2001, (see attached letter dated
September 4, 2001.) At this time 15 sets of the plat and PD drawings were submitted to
the City of North RicWand Hills. At this point this site had been reviewed and had been
adjusted to meet all staff comments numerous times. Therefore there were no more staff
comments and 20 sets of the plat and PD were submitted to P&Z on September 27,2001.
The PD was approved 6-0 by P&Z and was forwarded to City Council. The PD was
denied by City Council on October 22,2001.
The site plan was revised and resubmitted to the City of North RicWand Hills after
discussions with City staff. The site was resubmitted as a SUP. The SUP requires that
every aspect of the site meet City criteria. The site was revised to allow the 15'
Landscape Buffer which was the only requested variance that the PD addressed. The
SUP was denied by P&Z on January 24,2001 on the basis of that the site does not meet
the current land use plan. The site does meet every aspect of City criteria. Every effort
has been made to work with staff regarding the development of this site. Every change or
request made by the Public Works Department, the City's consulting engineers and the
Planning Department has been made. At numerous times during the development of this
project discussions were had with City staff regarding the applicability of the project to
the site with regards to zoning and adjacent uses. At no time was the use of the project in
question. The owner of the property would have definitely re-evaluated the use of the
property had there been any indication of any problems with this site regarding the
proposed use or zoning.
We were first notified of questions regarding the development of this tract from a joint
meeting of City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission that was held January
15,2001. This date was over 12 months from our initial submittal on the project. It is
our understanding that questions were raised regarding the proposed use of the tract and
conflicts with the current land use plan. We would like to point out that at the time of our
feasibility and sùbmission of this project that the land use plan in effect at that time
showed this site to be a commercial use. If the current land use plan would have been in
effect at the time of our submittal we would better understand the reservations in the
proposed use of the property. Please note that the property is zoned C2 Commercial and
this zoning includes more intensive uses than the one proposed. We feel this use is an
appropriate use given the zoning and land use plan in effect at the time of our initial
submittal. Every item requested by City staff has been completed and incorporated into
the site plan that is included with this submittal. We would appreciate your review of this
appeal and hope that you will review the project and notice the effort that was expended
on this project and the fact that every change requested by City of North RichIand Hills
has been incorporated in the design of this project.
We will be at the February 25 council meeting to discuss this item with you further and
answer any questions you may have. We look forward to your review and approval of
this appeal so that this project can be put into service and serve the citizens of North
RichIand Hills and become a revenue producing site for the City.
Sincerely,
