These values were further refined by a committee of the City Council and officially adopted by the City Council in September. These core values are Respect, Service, PrOductivity, Integrity, Responsibility, Innovation, and Teamwork, and the acronym R-SPIRIT is meant to stand for these values. In an effort to educate City employees regarding these values and their meaning as established by the City Council, City staff has developed a Core Values Campaign and Employee Recognition Program that we will begin to implement in February. The campaign will highlight a specific value for a certain period of time each year. For example, in this month and next month the. value of Service will be highlighted through posters, payroll stuffers, etc. Then in March and April, the campaign will highlight the value of Productivity and so on throughout the year. As part of the employee recognition program, employees will be asked to nominate co-workers for an award each period. For example, in February--- employees will nominate a co-worker for a Service award, then in March and April nominations will be accepted for the Productivity award. This process. will continue throughout the year. At the end of each year, nominations will be accepted fOfan Employee of the Year who exemplifies all of the Core. Values, especially the overriding value of respect. The Employee of the Year will be announced at an employee awards banquet that will be planned by the Human Resources Department. Patrick Hillis, Human Resources Director, will attend the pre council meeting and give a brief overview of the campaign and recognition program. This information was presented to all Department Directors at their January 21 st meeting, and was very well received. Staff is excited about initiating this program and tying employee recognition to the values that are important to the Council. We look forward to reviewing the campaign and employee recognition program with you Monday. Respectfully Submitted, ~tg::& · City Manager ...,¡.

Pre Council Minutes January 14, 2002 Page 2 IR 2002-006 SHADY Mr. Curtis ¡;ecapped the study performed by GROVE ROAD Kimley-Horn Associates (KHA) regarding Shady TRAFFIC ISSUES Grove Road. KHA concluded that there was a short-term and long-term solution to Shady Grove Road. The short term being an additional lane at the intersection of Shady Grove Road and Davis Boulevard to provide for a right-turn and left-turn only lane. Currently a developer is in the process of constructing a bank on Shady Grove Road and Davis Boulevard and was on a "fast track" to get the construction complete. Staff approached the developer about entering a City- Developer Agreement. The developer's timing for the new bank has since changed. It is possible that it will be another 4 to 6 weeks before construction will begin on the site and possibly 6 to 8 weeks before construction will begin on Shady Grove Road. The long-term solution was an alternate route(s) for Shady Grove traffic. KHA recommended the extension of Clay Hibbins Road. After further examination this alternate route was determined to not be economically feasible. Mr. Curtis advised council there is one section of undeveloped land remaining between Shady Grove Road and North Tarrant Parkway within the City of North Richland Hills that could possibly provide an alternate route. However, the land does present some flood plain/drainage concerns that will need to be investigated to determine its feasibility as an alternate route. Mr. Curtis informed council that city management and staff met with the City of Keller to discuss Keller's future thoroughfare plans and to examine other long-term options. The City Manager of Keller indicated that the closest east-west collector on the City of Keller thoroughfare plan was Bear Creek Parkway. Upon reviewing both city thoroughfare plans a tentative long-term plan was agreed upon by both cities. The new plan will have a new street _.___~._o~~~_..~___^~_~'_~'<___,___"~,~_~_"_____._ Pre Council Minutes January 14, 2002 Page 3 connecting Rapp Road to North Tarrant Parkway west of Smithfield Road. The new street will direct the majority of the future Keller traffic over.to North Tarrant Parkway. Mr. Curtis advised coúncil both cities agreed to emphasize North Tarrant Parkway as the primary east-west collector street. Mr. Curtis told Council from a traffic standpoint and what Public Works would be recommending for the long term approach is to see if staff could emphasize the Keller traffic coming down Rapp Road to Keller Smithfield and then to North Tarrant Parkway. Council wanted to know the time schedule of Keller's construction. Mr. Norwood informed council it was his understanding that the City of Keller would proceed with obtaining right-of-way this year for the section of Keller-Smithfield to North Tarrant Parkway. Staff is requesting council direction to determine implementation of the short-term or long-term solution. More specifically staff is needing direction on the following: Short-term issues: Should staff wait on the Summit Bank Development at the corner of Shady Grove Road/Davis Boulevard before improvements are made to the intersection? Should staff make improvements knowing that the contractor will need to remove improvements when the bank improves Shady Grove Road? Lonq-term issues: Should staff begin implementing the North Richland Hills/Keller plan or authorize KHA to examine the feasibility of extending Shady Grove Road across the undeveloped land between Shady Grove Road and North Tarrant >-<' ---'~>-'-~_.'"~._.~"-'~--"'.."-<~<._.,,'~.,_.,"""-----------.". Pre Council Minutes January 14. 2002 Page 4 Parkway (west of Shady Oaks subdivision)? Should staff authorize KHA to examine other alternative~ to encourage motorists to use Smithfield Road instead of continuing along Shady Grove Road to Davis Boulevard? Mayor Scoma advised Mr. Curtis that council consensus is not to move forward with the improvements at Davis. Councilman Tolbert asked staff to update council on the bank construction progress in 6 to 8 weeks. Council concurred with this suggestion to advise them of status of the bank's progress within 2 months. Council asked staff how they could encourage the City of Keller to implement proposed change to their thoroughfare plan. Mr. Cunningham advised council that staff could send a letter to the City of Keller asking them to modify their thoroughfare plan to have Rapp Road fit into our thoroughfare plan and to also proceed with other amendments.

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. Councilman Tolbert moved, seconded by Councilwoman Johnson to approve PZ 2001- 35, Ordinance No. 2597. Motion to approve carried 6-0. 13. PZ 2001-19 PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AN APPEAL REQUEST BY CHESTER ROSS ON BEHALF OF THE PROPERTY OWNER KAE SON KO FOR A ZONING CHANGE ON .81 ACRES FROM LR LOCAL RETAIL TO PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AND SITE PLAN APPROVAL FOR ALL LR LOCAL RETAIL USES PLUS CONVENIENCE STORE WITH ACCESSORY GASOLINE SALES (LOCATED AT 8015 GLENVIEW DRIVE) - ORDINANCE NO. 2596 TABLED Mr. David Taylor, representing applicant, addressed the council and explained the nature of applicant's request. Mr. Pitstick addressed the request as it relates to city codes and ordinances. Mr. Pitstick advised council that the Planning and Zoning Commission had tabled this request on two different occasions prior to denying the request due to the lack of sufficient and timely site plan information provided by the applicant. Mr. Pitstick advised council that at the time of the coversheet preparation the applicant had not submitted a City Council Minutes January 14, 2002 Page 7 revised site plan, landscape plan, or building elevation for analysis. Staff recommends that council either continue the request until the applicant can provide sufficient information for council consideration or deny request. - Council discussed the need for revitalization in this area, but did not want to give Mr. Ko false hopes that council would approve his request. Council advised applicant that they would need to see the site plans before making a decision on this request. Council discussed options recommended from staff. Mr. Taylor advised council that Mr. Ko would like the opportunity to get the necessary plans and represent request at the next council meeting. Mayor Scoma advised applicant his request would be up to the council and suggested that the applicant may want to follow the correct chain of command and represent request to the Planning and Zoning Commission for their comments. Councilman Metts advised council that time would not allow applicant to get plans to the Planning and Zoning Commission for comments before council meets again. Councilman Metts believed the cleanest thing would be for council to deny the request and give the applicant time to resubmit request. Mayor Scoma advised council if the request were denied the applicant would need to pay fees to resubmit request. City Attorney George Staples advised council the cleanest way to handle request would be to table item. If the request were denied the applicant would have to start allover again with his request and may even run into the problem of the delay between identical applications. If council would like to let applicant come forward with minimal time of sending out notices the best thing would be for council to table request and send to Planning and Zoning for their recommendation. Mr. Cunningham asked Mr. Staples if staff would be required to re-advertise. Mr. Staples informed Mr. Cunningham and council that they were not requesting applicant to start the request allover again. Council is only asking Planning and Zoning to look and comment on the plans. Mr. Norwood confirmed that Planning and Zoning would not be voting on the item since they have already denied the case. Mr. Staples advised council and staff ,that Planning and Zoning would be able to give their comments as to whether or not it would meet their objections. Mr. Staples further explained that if council wanted Planning and Zoning to vote on the request it would be necessary to send request back for brand new application. City Council Minutes January 14. 2002 Page 8 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. Councilman Tolbert moved to täøle PZ 2001-19, Ordinance No. 2596 and send back to Planning and Zoning for their comments. Councilman Tolbert asked that staff pay careful attention to the minutes for the Planning and Zoning meeting so council can get their comments in exact form. Councilman Trevino seconded the motion. Staff asked Mr. Staples for clarification that an exact time be designated so staff would not need to re-advertise case. Mr. Staples advised council and staff that council could do it that way, but council has tabled it for specific instructions and the case will be guided by those events. Mr. Staples further advised that council could put a deadline on the request. Motion to table carried 6-0. 14. A.

CITY OF NORTH R/CHLAND HILLS Department: Police Department Council Meeting Date: January 28, 2002 '"'-, $ubject: Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant Resolution No. 2002-003 Agenda Number: GN 2002-005 Recently, the Police Department received notification of the allocation of awards for 2002 under the Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant program. This program automatically qualifies units of local government for receipt of grant funds that must be spent among twelve purpose areas designated to enhance accountability in the juvenile justice system. The City's allocation under the 2002 program is listed at $16,284. In order to receive these funds, a cash match of approximately 10% is required. Some of the purpose areas include the following: · Building, expanding, renovating, or operating temporary or permanent juvenile correction or detention facilities; · Hiring additional juvenile judges and probation officers; · Hiring additional prosecutors; · Providing funding to enable prosecutors to address drug, gang, and youth violence problems; · Establishment of drug court programs for juveniles to provide continuing judicial supervision over juvenile offenders with substance abuse problems. .,-- In reviewing this grant program, it became apparent that none of the purpose areas were appropriate for the Police Department to fund and pursue. Most all of these purpose areas apply only to a county-level administration of juvenile justice. Tarrant County Juvenile Services has requested that the municipal jurisdictions in Tarrant County waive eligibility for these grant funds and designate Tarrant County to receive the Cities' allocated amounts. All of the affected cities have expressed support of Tarrant County's request, and are in the process of obtaining the necessary approval to name Tarrant County as their designated beneficiary for all municipal allocations. A coalition consisting of Tarrant County and all the affected municipalities was formed three years ago for the purpose of combining all funds awarded under this grant. The aggregate grant funds would then be used to benefit the cities at the county level to: Source of Funds: Bonds {GO/Rev.} Operating Budget Other Finance Review Account Number Sufficient Funds Available ~I!;. Budget Director Page 1 of L .. CITY OF NORTH R/CHLAND HILLS ',,-- · Continue to provide intervention alternatives for juvenile first-time offenders that effectively prevent further criminal behavior, other than referral to juvenile court; -. Continue addressing the commission of sexual offenses by juveniles through intensified prosecution and probation supervision; · Continue to provide juvenile fingerprinting and photographic services to cities on all juvenile offender referrals to the Tarrant County Juvenile Detention Center; · Continue to provide support for the juvenile drug court through the establishment of treatment alternatives for substance abusing youth. By joining with Tarrant County, the City is relieved of the responsibility of applying for the grant and supplying the cash match requirement, while still benefiting from the proposed use of the funds. Tarrant County proposes to use this year's combined allocations to provide funding for the ongoing programs listed above. The program, conceived by Tarrant County Juvenile Services and the Tarrant County Juvenile Crime Enforcement Coalition, appears to be very successful and worthwhile. The City's only responsibility is to provide a representative frorn the Police Department to serve on the board of the Juvenile Crime Enforcement Coalition. Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council pass resolution number 2002-003 designating Tarrant County Juvenile Services as the recipient of the funds allocated to the City under '-- the Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant, and appoint Captain Sid Johnson with the Police Department to represent the City on the board of the Tarrant County Juvenile Crime Enforcement Coalition. CITY COUNCIL ACTION ITEM Page 2 of 2 RESOLUTION NO. 2002-003 WHEREAS, the City of North Richland Hills, Texas has reviewed the Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant, and WHEREAS, it has been decided that the City of North Richland Hills would like to designate Tarrant County Juvenile Services as the intended recipient of the City's allocated amount, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, THAT the City waives the right to apply for the Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant, and Requests that Tarrant County Juvenile Services receive these funds, and Names Captain Sid Johnson of the Police Department to serve as the City's representative member of the Tarrant County Juvenile Crime Enforcement Coalition.

Nearly all cities use the larger maximums, although the actual penalty will continue to be that imposed by the court.

We have a new liaison, Davina Barnett, who has been working with us since late October. We met in November to discuss our goals and objectives for the upcom1ng year. The Youth Advisory Committee decided it would like to become more involved with the city government. In January, the committee met at Environmental Services and heard presentations from Don Sharp of Animal Services, and Toni Blevins of Environmental Services. The speakers gave us a broader understanding of what these two departments do and let us know of ways we as a committee can help them with projects in the future. A group of TCU students will be visiting us at our February meeting to teach the committee leadership skills. They will bring materials in which we can interact with each other as we learn the skills. We are meeting with Andy Kancel from the police department in March. He will be giving an overview of the police departments functions and processes. He will also give the Youth Advisory Committee a hands-on presentation called "Solve the Crime Night", Mr. Kancel will stage a crime scene and the committee will have to work together as a team to solve the crime. This will show the committee that what we see on television may not be as accurate as we think. Seeing first hand how the department operates should be very interesting. We will be speaking with other city departments in the future to see what we may learn from them. The Youth Advisory Committee has been greatly involved in the community. We have assisted in Teen Dances at the Recreation Center, helped children decorate cookies at the Tree Lighting Ceremony, wrapped gifts for Santa Cops, and spent Saturday, December 22 at the Community Enrichment Center sorting toys and helping in the food pantry. Some upcoming community events we plan to be involved in are the Great American Clean-up, Easter In The Park, and the Daddy/Daughter Valentine Dance. The Youth Advisory Committee held its' Christmas Social on December 20. We went to Trail Dust Steakhouse and enjoyed dinner and a white elephant gift exchange. Everyone had a great time relaxing and socializing with other committee members. Six of the committee members will be accompanying Davina to the 2nd annual Texas Youth Advisory Committee Summit February 16-17 in Lake Jackson, Texas. This is an effort to get Youth Advisory Committees from allover the state of Texas together to discuss various projects within their communities. This should provide many tools and resources to further develop our committee. Being able to meet and interact with other youth advisory committees from --".~'"_._.~'''-------~-'-'~~------------- around the state will enable us to share ideas and brainstorm to make an even better committee. We are looking forward to this event. The Youth Advisory Committee has begun working on a new project called Teen Videofest 2002. The committee will put together a 30 second Public Service Announcement. The announcement will be on safety, substance abuse, violence, or wellness. Each of these is an area that affects teens today. A panel of judges will select 1 st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners. There will be an Awards Ceremony on April 18, 2002 for all participants, and the winners will be announced here. In this contest, 3rd place will receive $150, 2nd place will receive $250, and 1 st place will receive $500. The video has a chance to be broadcast on television as a public service announcement, or shown in health classes throughout the Tarrant County School District. The committee is excited to be a part of Teen Videofest. The Youth Advisory Committee feels that this year has been a great success. We look forward to the many projects and challenges that lie ahead. We hope to continue our success in the future.

CASE SUMMARY: Steven Hughes on behalf of the property owner, Gwen Young,. has submitted a Final Plat of Lot AR1, Block 1, Sunnybrook Addition for approval. The purpose of this replat is to revise the current lot configuration for residential development. '- The Development Review Committee has reviewed the pl$t for compliance with the Subdivision Rules and Regulations. The plat complies with ithe Subdivision Ordinance, however, the zoning of the site does not permit the intended residential use. Attached is a memo from the Public Works Department concerning this plat, and a letter from the applicant agreeing to comply with the comments. Current Zoning: The site is currently zoned AG Agricultural. This district does not permit single family residential uses except. those clearly secondary to the primary use of the site for agricultural purposes. Other lots in this subdivision are also zoned AG Agricultural and exhibit residential structures as the primary use. Staff has recQmmended that the city take steps to initiate rezoning of this lot and other nearby lot. (with existing residential subdivision) to a residential district. This would not only pel1"'1it the applicant's proposed use but would also provide relief to the nonconformingstatu~ of the other nearby lots in this subdivision. The Planning & Zoning Commission recorT]lmended that staff proceed with City initiated zoning on these lots and staff has begun the process. Comprehensive Plan: The Plan indicates low density resid~ntial uses for the site and surrounding properties. The proposed use is consistent with the Plan. Right Of Way: A small ROW dedication along a portion of C$rdinal Lane is prqposed by this plat. Utilities: No issues concerning the extension of utilities to the site have been identified. Flood or Drainage: All drainage issues have been resolved.

They purchased a lot in the Sunnybrook Addition on Cardinal Lane and have been trying to get the lot platted and approved by the City of North Richland Hills. The original platt request was submitted more than 4 months ago. New obstacles arise each time it is re-submitted. The latest obstacle requires a zoning change that had been overlooked. This means another postponement as it goes through the P. & Z. and then back to the city council. We would appreciate any help from your office at the P. & Z. on January 10 and then at the City Council meeting on January 14 that will insure the finalization ofthis lengthy process. The financing and scheduling of the building process have been on hold and need to be finalized. Thank you.

Lawrence Barnett resides at 6201 Smithfield Rd., North Richland Hills, stated that he is a lifelong resident of Smithfield. Lawrence Barnett explained how he had to borrow $350,000.00 to pay past due taxes on the property. He commented that he doesn't want the zoning changed if the preliminary plat isn't approved. Page 2 12/10/01 P & Z Minutes Dan Quinto, Project Manager of Arcadia from Home Town Development spoke on how long the process took to zone the Town Center in October '98 which included Zoning Study guidelines, including site plan and overall design, character study, open space, and pattern book. He stressed the concern of side yard development and how that effects the entrance into the subdivision. He mentioned the density would allow compactness to occur. Ted Nehring questioned Dan Quinto as how far apart John Dickerson and he were to agreeing on the proposed plans. Dan Quinto answered that they are close to agreement but there are some minor issues that need to be considered. Tim Welch asked Dan Quinto to explain the issues and asked about reconnection of streets to the North and East. Dan Quinto commented that the alleys serve to keep the garage off the frontage of streets. He would like John Dickerson to change the plans where the garage entries will be in the back of the homes. He commented that they don't desire culdesac's but encourage pedestrian activity. Tim Welch commented on the letter from Bill Gietema regarding Fountain Ridge having their own district with unique character and identity. Dan Quinto stated that the Architectural controls need to have the same quality of buildings and the same character as Town Center design. An independent Architect should resolve side and rear yard issues, as well as massing and scale, and should also resolve the garage issues. Dan Quinto said they are willing to provide street connections with Fountain Ridge. Chairman Don Bowen closed the public hearing. - John Pitstick commented that Fountain Ridge meets most of the requirements of the ordinance but they did not have a formal Architect at this time. He would like to see both developments be compatible in nature and see street connections made. Elements that aren't present and required are architectural guidelines in a pattern book. Fountain Ridge should have an Architect to review house plans. John Pitstick stated that the City has hired an architect, Gerald Luecke, from Hodge & Associates to review the proposal and to look at open space and landscaping. John Pitstick stated that if there isn't a road connection, there needs to at least be a pedestrian connection. John Dickerson should also take care of the front entry by deleting the "J" drives. Gerald Luecke, Hodges & Associates, 13642 Omega, Dallas stated that Fountain Ridge meets the letter of law in the Town Center zoning ordinance. He understands that Page 3 12/10/01 P & Z Minutes Fountain Ridge needs to develop architectural guidelines in a pattern book including the architecture of buildings, layout of lots, relationship of homes to lots and how they relate to pedestrian circulation. John Dickerson changed end lots to reflect center zoning which allows for residential and some offices. Northern lots 2 and 3 existing Commercial. It doesn't require commercial use. He encouraged a vehicular or pedestrian connection of some kind at northern and eastern edges. They need to work on the culdesac issues, lots fronting Fountain Ridge Blvd., grading issues, and landscape and architect booklets. Bob Gwinn, A.I.A., Goodman Family of Builders, 5808 W. Piano Parkway stated that the masonry or brick will continue on the sides and rear to appropriate distance meeting the masonry requirements for North Richland Hills. John Pitstick stated that Fountain Ridge needs to designate an architect of record and that City Staff will need to sign off on that and the pattern books before the application for the final plat is submitted. The change should be made to the culdesac to make it go through. John Dickerson commented that their assigned architect will work with Gerald Luecke and City Staff. He commented that it is not possible to face the main street with the large retaining walls. They plan to have a row of nice, large trees along the street with wrought iron and decorative stone fences on side yards to help screen and shield the side yards with air-conditioning units. They agreed to work with the five following stipulations given by John Pitstick: 1 Fountain Ridge be required to provide roadway or pedestrian connections to the north and east to the current Home Town development. 2 Fountain Ridge be required to provide detailed architectural guidelines described in a Pattern Book as approved by the City's independent architect. 3 Detailed landscape plans of all open spaces and street tree designations be approved by the City. 4 An independent architect of record be designated for approval of all building and site plans in the Fountain Ridge development. 5 No front entry J-drives be allowed. Tim Welch questioned Mike Curtis regarding the traffic study. Mike Curtis answered that the intersection at Davis Boulevard will be at level "F" during peak hours. If connections are made to the north and east this level will improve. Page 4 12/1 % 1 P & Z Minutes Tim Welch commented that the main exit should be widened from 18' to 24' and be striped with a designated left and right turn lane. George Tucker, seconded by Doug Blue, motioned to approve PZ 2002-01. The motion carried unanimously (7-0) including the five comments from John Pitstick.

Enlarge Lot 7 Park an additional 1 0' or 20' in width. Provide design for all Parks / Common Area open space for review. B. A pedestrian connector shown on Home Town to the east is required. Vehicular access has been eliminated. This should be integrated with both developments at the Lot 31/32 position. At the northern connector, vehicular and pedestrian access are to be incorporated and lot sizes should change to match on the Northrrown Center side. C. No lots should have a 'side' along the Fountain Ridge Boulevard. Design homes so that all lots that have frontage on Fount~in Ridge Boulevard have sides that take on an upgraded design, similar to the requirements for the front wall. Page 10 (supplemental) A. Develop both an Architectural and Landscape Standards and Regulations booklet to further detail the specific requirements of the Architectural and Landscape design for the development and the individual lots. This will become the guideline / pattern book for the Architectural review of each home submittal. Page 13 A. Note the main roof slope at 10:12 maximum. B. The Regional elevation should show 3 steps to grade, not 2. Page 15 A. Plan layouts for side entry garage should be modified to place the front wall of the garage behind the front wall (street side) of living area. B. Confirm that landscaping will be provided between the driveway and the lot line at the homes that access the garage from the street. Modify driveway position if required. General Item 1. The Developer needs to designate the Fountain Ridge Architect and forward the name to the City. General items to be included in the Standards/Pattern Book: 1. Provide proposed plans to match the proposed elevations to more fully understand elevations and review the specifics of the layout of the siting of the buildings. 2. Plumbing vents and flues projecting from the roof line shall not be visible from the streets. 3. To more closely match the alley design at Home Town, alley lots should include a 3' landscape strip. This should be required at the alley between the fence and the alley, with one tree per lot.

Box 820609 North Richland Hills, TX 76180 RE: Proposed Fountain Ridge Subdivision Dear John: Thsnk you for seeking Arcadia's input on the Fountain Ridge Subdivision proposal. (Jiven the appliçant's desire to :z:onc this site as pm of the Town Center, we IR wiDing to explore the possibilities for the road OODnectiODS between Home Town Nordl RicbJand Hills and Fountain Ridge. In order to ensure a consistent1y high quality streetscape between the two projects additional work must be done. Many of the specific issues needing aUentÌOD are delailed in the comments the City has collected dUcctly ftom the architects responsible for the various aspeçts of the design and archi~ regulation of Home Town NRH. The IR'aS requiring attention are generally: Site Plan Architectural Regulations in the fotJrl of a Pattern Book Master Street Tree Key Landscape Architecture of the Open Spaœs ArCMtec1Ural Approval Process, 1n order to accommodate the road connections, Arcadia will have to chan.se its pre1imÏnaly plat as well as abandon one or more developed lots. Arcadia is willing to oonsider these changes not only as a good. neighbor, but also in the knowledge that expanding the Town Center will generate additional value in the Tif district. The key to expanding the Town Center is maintaining the integrity of its plann;ng values and the quality of its architc:cture. This does not imply that Fountain Ridge should be a carbon copy of Town Center, but instead may be its own "district" with its own cbarøcter and ideDtity. The goal should be harmonious and complementaIy neighborhoods which share core values. Arcadia 1S wiIJing to coopexaœ with the applicant ud landowner in an effort to achieve this goal. We will make ourselves available, share our doc\ØDentatioa, and make inuoductioas to our architects. Making the .required modifications aDd additions to the applic:æIt's submission should not take longer than a tnonth, nor should it affect the proposed lot count. We firmly believe that the time spent reñnmg the development proposal. will benefit all the partics çonccmcd. KLU.I Y COlti'O!\ATION <;..4U 1 I.....RvrsT HILL RD.

My review is twofold; a opinion regarding compliance with the Town Center District zoning as regulated under Section 470, TC Town Center District and accompanying Exhibits and the Comprehensive Land Use Plan approved April 26, 2001 and a professional opinion regarding the projects approach to Traditional Neighborhood Developments (TND) and New Urbanism. First, the submittal includes infonnation, which has been pulled directly from the Zoning Regulations and Exhibits. There has been infonnation which was not included or has been amended in the proposed document. Where infonnation is applicable it would be our recommendation that the proposed document not be amended, either in deletion or revision. Should the authors of the documents developed for Home Town at North Richland Hills be given credit for their work'? It would also be my recommendation that the secondary streets in the development, \vhich are ST -5-27, be revised to ST -50-24 thereby reducing the street width by 3' and allowing street parking on both sides of the street. This will help to reduce the street speed of vehicles and foster a more 'urban' environment. With regards to Traditional Neighborhood Development the following addresses some of my concerns. If the proposal is amended I will be happy to review further documents. I have also requested the opinions of Duany Plater-Zyberk (DPZ) and Looney Risks Kiss, both o(whom were co-authors of the Traditional Neighborhood Development Standards established for Home Town. 1. The site plan falls short ofTND concepts and practices. Limited access, cul-de-sacs and green space at the rear of houses are conventional design standards. TND standards call for multiple access, no cul-de-sacs and green spaces viewed as :tront public spaces. Speciíìcally, the connection to Home Town at the east does not reflect the current Home Town plat. This connection to Home Town is desÍrable if the proposed development ret1ects similar quality TND standards. Also a connection to the north would be desirable. I'd venture that there has not been any master planning of this parceL only a conventional effort to layout lots. I'd recommend that DPZ be involved with this master planning effort. ARCHITECTURE ¡LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE INTERIOR DESIGN I PLANNING ~ ^--.;;:- 2. There are no guidelines established for the streetscape and alleys. Elements such as façade line, planting strips, including street tree species, size and quantity, sidewalks, fences, both front and rear, alley garages and alley security have not been addressed. 3. The notation 'Builders Standard List' may leave the development open to a lack of diversity in the development. Who is monitoring the colors and materials in the development? TND offer a diversity, which is rich in various materials and colors and is not monochrome as displayed in conventional developments. 4. Not including a maximum roof slope may generate an excessive roof slope not compatible with TND. Do you want a North Dallas neighborhood? 5. Arched main windows may be the single most disturbing design element exhibited in conventional home design that contradicts traditional design. Not monitoring this design element closely will lead to a most undesirable street appearance. 6. Front entry garages have been a staple ofTND. Traditional garages are placed at the back of the main house façade or at the rear of the house. This submittal prohibits front entry garages. Side entry garages are not a TND design element. 7. Limitations on non-masonry materials do just that, limit design. Traditional neighborhoods do have homes covered with a variety of materials including many species of wood. The zoning exhibit includes 'Hardiplank' as a 100% material. This proposal limits its use and contradicts the TND standards. 8. With regards to 'Regional Styles' is corrugated metals allowed? The styles 'Texana, Texas Hill Country and Texas Farm House traditionally exhibit wood and metal siding with no masonry or limited amounts of masonry. It is my professional opinion that the developers attempt to comply with Traditional Neighborhood Development standards and design concepts falls well short of the zonings intended goals, As the only other contiguous parcel of land with TC zoning, this development has the same opportunities to create a quality mixed-use development adjacent to a very exciting TC development under way. There may need to be a joint effort between Arcadia Realty Corporation, DPZ, LRK and Mr. Dickerson to solve some of the problems associated with this proposal. Thomas E.

AlA FROM: John Van Fossen RE: Fountain Ridge at Town Center North Richland Hills I Rf~ Review of Prelimenary Zoning Submission and Development Guidelines for referenced proj ect. Site Plan Issues I. New Urbanism is about the creation of Places. There is no center, no focus, no creation of public space in the neighborhood. 2. New Urbanism requires a network of interconnected streets, with. wherever possible connections to adjacent neighborhoods. There could be more connectivity both within the neighborhood and to the adjacent neighborhood of Home Town. 3. Entire ITontage along main road is reverse. Design Standards Issues Site I. All individual lot site planning conditions not adequately addressed by "garage configurations." Arch itectura! Issues N at Addressed by the Before!

New Urbanism is not about the creation of "curb appeal" of individual houses but about the making of good places. All the issues of the architecture of the house and how the house relates to the street and other public spaces must be addressed) 1. Scale and Massing: Buildings should be composed such that there will be a maIn body wIth secondary wings, porches or forms that compliment each other. Buildings should avoid long, monotonous, uninterrupted walls or roof planes. Buildings avoid overly complex or multiple plan and elevation undulations, with multiple roof pitches of excessive. Front entrances should be appropriate in scale and massing to the overall composition and character of the building's architecture.

Streetscape Composition: The goal should be to create a streetscape and neIghborhood of well designed and crafted houses which compliment each other and the neighborhood as a whole.

I received the package with tbe preliminary zoning exhibit and Develo¡ ment Guidelines of Fountain Ridge. which is adjacent to Home Town at North Richland Hills. We eviewed the materials and our comments are as following: 1. The DeVE 10] ment Guidelines for Fountain Ridge replicate the language in the TND Regulations adopted hy he City of North Rictùand Hills but only partially, which is unacceptable. These regulatioJls nust be applied in their t:ntirety to achieve the benefits of traditional neighborhood design. Th ~ proposed devt:lopment covers 46 acres, whieh is a substantial size and has the potential to become a sustainable mixed-use community if the TND Regulations are properly addressed. 2. From a ma ;tcr planning point of view the connectivity of tbe proposed plan to ~he adjacent properties i insufficient. It will need more connectivity specifically to the south and to the nonh to Home T Jwn at North Richland Hi11s in order for these communities to become parts of a larger urt)aJ eutity. This may require reworking of the proposed plan, as well as some changes in the current Jlan of Home Town. 3. From an ur )an design point of view. there are several concerns with the plan for Fountain Ridge. The blocks are oversized and will need more pedestrian connections. The use of cul-de-sacs is MIA.MI.

Most of the open space in the plan is unstructur& I and reads as a left-over space in front of the houses or in their backyards. Open space musI b: shaped as squares, greens or playgrounds. Another important concern is the relationship c : the project to Davis Boulevard. There arc lots backing along its edge, which is damaging ,:he urban quality of the main entry of Home Town at North RichIand Hills. Both Fountain Rid e and Home Town will benefit a unified character along Davis Boulevard. We would like tc· rl main involved in tbe development of Fountain Ridge project as it will be an important piece to co nplete the urban fabric around Home Town at North Richland Hills.

Ordinance No. 2599 Case Summary After the approval of the Revised Comprehensive Plan in the spring of 2001, the City Council directed the Staff to prepare new retail zoning districts, which more clearly reflects the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. The Council also· directed Staff to permit all property owners with land zoned LR, C 1 and C2 to retain their property rights to develop under the regulations of these districts. That goal has been reflected in Section 176 of the attached ordinance revisions. 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. ',-, A public hearing on this ordinance revision was held at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on December 27th. There was no one present to speak for or against the changes. The Commission closed the public hearing and tabled the ordinance revisions to the January 10th meeting. On January 10th the Commission recommended to approve the ordinance. The attached ordinance, in legislative format, is the document which P&Z approved. Staff briefed the Council regarding this information at the January 14th briefing meeting.

Cathy Horton stated that these revisions are based on the Comprehensive Plarl approval last spring. Three new Retail zoning Districts are being created. Two weeks ago there was a question as if a microbrewery is an accessory use to a restaurant in retail district. The answer to that question is no. It would need to be in an Industrial Zoning. The pawnshop was removed out of HC and allowed in Industrial only. Some Cities do allow pawnshops in heavy commercial zoning. A maximum of 5000 square foot building size is established in NS District. On page 3-13 if 5000 square foot building size in NS is approved. A 10,000 square foot size should be incorporated.

However, on the effective date of the ordinance, applicants will not be able to request the old retail districts. Ms. Horton reviewed the description of NS, CS and HC and the changes proposed. Scott Turnage questioned the use of MicroBrewery under HC. Mr. Nehring asked why the use of a PawnShop would be taken out of HC and allowed under industrial only. James Laubacher asked why we would allow or need a heliport in a NS area. Mr. Welch asked about the need for accessory non-required off-street parking lots. He also indicated a need to clarify the cross-referencing of the maximum 5000 square feet requirement in the NS district. Acting Chairman Doug Blue opened and closed the public hearing with no discussion. Mr. Tucker suggested that items brought up by the Commission and others need further discussion and that the request be tabled. Ted Nehring, seconded by Don Pultz, motioned to table PZ 2001-37 until January 10, 2002. The motion carried unanimously (7-0).

Case Summary: A request for consideration of a master multi-tenant Sign Plan has been submitted by Donnie Alan, representing The Crossing Development. The property is zoned C-2. The variance requests approval of: Directional signs, blade signs, community board signs, banners, and parking signs are proposed as follows: · Directional Signs (Sign A) (6 requested) These are proposed to be located throughout the parking lot on light poles as shown on the page labeled ~Dire.ctional Sign Layout". No more than 3 rectangular signs are proposed per pole and they shall not exceed 3" by 18". No more than one round sign shall be placed on a single pole and these shall not exceed one square foot in size. The existing ordinance permits no more than 2 traffic directional signs per approach and these are limited to four square feet in size. · Blade signs (Sign B) (28 requested) These are proposed to be located on the wall in front of each tenant space and will not exceed 12" by 36" in size. The sign ordinance is silent on this type signage, therefore it would not be permitted by right. This is consist~nt with the plans for signage in the Home Town Development to the west. · 2 Community Board Signs/Pedestrian Informations (Sign C) (2 requested) Each of these signs, showing a plan view of the shopping center, arø proposed to be placed in pedestrian oriented areas between the primary structures in the shopping center. One is proposed at the seating/fountain area (north of the main entrance) and one is proposed south of the main entrance in an pedestrian area with benches. The ordinance does not permit these signs by right, however because this center is planned and maintained under one ownership and due to the size and character of the center, the community signs serve a purpose of directing pedestrians to different locations throughout the development.

The ordinance does not permit permanent banners: therefore approval of this type sign would set a precedent for other requests for permanent banner signs. The ordinance does permit a business to temporarily display banners three times per year for a 60 day time period. The primary message displayed on Light Pole Banner signs may be seasonal in nature and without the use of words describing a product company name or logo. · Reserved parking signs (Sign F) This type sign, 12" X18", is not regulated by the Sign Ordinance. They are considered to be helpful to the citizenry and are permitted. · Message sign (Sign G) (1 requested) This outdoor digital display unit sign is proposed on the Walker Boulevard, southeast of the proposed Kroger store. This type signage is not proposed for the Home Town Development and should not be permitted at this location. The Sign Ordinance only permits electronic messêtge boards along the freeway frontage. · Recommendation: Due to the uniqueness and size of this development Staff recommends the following action "-- on this request:: · Approval of the directional signs as requested; · Approval ofthe blade signs as requested; · Approval of the CQmmunity Board signs; · Denial of the proposed banner signs, (allow the existing ordinance to stand which will permit banners 3 times a year for a 60 day time period); · Denial ofthe Message Center sign; and · Approval of the reserved parking· signs. -I CITY COUNCIL ACTION ITEM L:\Cases\Sign Review Committee\SRC 2000-0.. ¡)WIl I UIllIclYI1 ¡)IIUW nI1IYI1Ui.UUU Page 2 of 2 .".,~--_.--,--------,.-..---'_.-._"'.^ lan.18.2002 4:53PM Sign Bui Iders of America No.2560 P, 2/4 City ofNol'th Richland Hills Sign Regulations, Ordinance No. 2374, Section 5.

State the grounds for the request and detail any special conditions that cause hardships that in your opinion justify the variances or exceptions being requested. Explain any unique circumstances, if applicable, not considered by the Sign Regulations. Sign Type A: Because of the size and layout of the center, it has been found that customers have difficulty traversing the parking lot. The code allows signs located at eatta.l1ces and c=xits to provide ingress/egress Onto and off of the property but does not address íssues with directing traffic flow within a large center. Weare requesting 6 directional signs. consistent with existing light pole strUctures on the property, to provide visual assistance to mOve traffic within the center. They will be placed within existing landscaped I curbed areas and win not project into vehicular or ped~trian areas. Sign Type B' The ordinance, in this case, allows for either a wall sign or a projecting sign. In a large center, both are needed to assist in pedestrian flow. Typically a. wall sign cannot easily be read or identified from sidewalk level for pedestrian traffic, while this type of projecting sign cannot be easily read or identified from the parking lot for vehicular traffic. Additionally, the existence of canopies (non-advertising) restricts the visibiliry of walJ signs. Sign Type C: One side of each of tbese two signs will provide a pedestrian directory and map of the center. Both signs are placed in common gathering areas in the center These will aid in the identification of businesses on the property and in the pedestrian traffic flow within the center. Two are necessary due to the overall size and layout of the center, One side of these signs will be used as a. community bu]]etin board. Prope.rty management will control the usage and maúltenance of the bul1erin board. Please note, these will not be readable from the adjacent parking lot for vehicular trnffic. They are intended to communi care ÍIlÍonnation to pedestrians. Sign Type D: Once onto the property and away from the adjacent right-of-way areas (where the three existing freestanding signs are placed), there is nO communica.tion of the shopping center identification. The ordinance allows for this type of banner either fOTparking lot identification or for seasonal messages/graphics only and only for short periods. We are requesting that these banners be allowed on signposts near the buildings and be allowed to exist on a permanent basis with copy identifying "The Crossing", The signs are designed for the overall aesthetics of the center and will not provide a. detraction to drivers or pedestrians such that they could be considered unsafe. Sign Type E: These signs exist with permits obta.ined from The City of North Richland Hills. Sign Type F: These appear to fit within the definition of an incidental sign. These signs are to provide food-based establishments with adequate take-out parking during peak center traffic tim~, without limiting parking spaces for all patrons during off-peak times. Sign Type O' 'an.18.2002 4:54PM Sign Sui Iders of America No,2560 p, 3/4 For clarity I will be using the following designations for the different types of signs in this proposal (tho number in parenthesis represents the number of signs requested for tl1at sign type): Sign Type A - Traffic Directional Signs (6) Sign Type B - Under Canopy Blade Identification Signs (28) Sign Type C - Pedestrian Infonnation Signs (2) Please note, these are double sided, with the second side as a community bulletin board.

" '" CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: Administration Council Meeting Date: 01/28/02 Subject: Chanqinq Name of Thornbridqe Park to J.B. Sandlin Agenda Number: GN 2002-007 Memorial Park - Resolution 2002-007 For the last several months the Facility Naming Board has been considering a suggested name change for Thornbridge Park. After submitting the information to the Parks and Recreation Board and getting feed back on two different occasions from the Thornbridge Neighborhood Association President, as well as working in conjunction with Liberty Bank, the following recommendation is being made. The Facility Naming Board has unanimously recommended changing the name of Thornbridge Park to J. B. Sandlin Memorial Park. That recommendation was subject to the bank paying for the cost of changing the appropriate signs and the Neighborhood Association President being approached regarding the name change. The Parks Board originally recommended against the name change. " The Parks Board's stated reasons were that the Homeowners Association input was negative because, if the City was going to spend $5,000 or $6,000 putting up signs, they had rather have the money put into the park. Also, the Parks Board felt like Mr. Sandlin would not want the City to spend more money for the purpose of changing the signs. As a result of that discussion by the Parks Board, the Parks Naming Facility had both of those issues looked into. When the bank agreed to pay the cost of changing the signage, the Homeowners Association President was called and discussed the matter with Greg Vick. After that discussion and with the understanding that the City would not be spending additional funds to change the name of the signs, he had no objection to the name change. As a result of the actions taken the Facility Naming Committee makes the below recommendation. Recommendation: To approve Resolution No. 2002-007 changing the name from Thornbridge Park to J. B.

After 5 years of being a coach, a teacher, and a principal he along with his wife Mary Lou founded J. B. Sandlin Homes, a family business, that would .build over 3,500 homes and 5,000 lots during his lifetime. It was in North Richland Hills that they would raise their four children and help build a growing community. J. B. served as city councilman in NRH from 1965 to 1971. Never one to stay on the sidelines he served on many civic and charitable organizations and was a charter member and president of the Northeast Lions Club of which he was awarded a Melvin Jones fellowship. His leadership spread as he was an active Republican nationally as well as statewide. Taking pride in helping to build Northeast Tarrant County led him to become president of the local and state Homebuilders Associations. His leadership was recognized by being named builder of the year for both organizations. He was also elected a Senior Life Director of the National Association of Homebuilders. He continued by founding Liberty Bank in 1985, one of the few remaining independent community banks in the state. Throughout his life he continued his desire to help educate young people by establishing scholarships in an education foundation he created at the Fort Worth Builders Association and at his alma mater Stephen F. Austin for graduates of Birdville Independent School District. His influence continues even today in all the students he taught, the family business he built, the communities he supported, the charities he served, and the love he shared with his family, friends, and associates. · ,.".-) ~.. CITY OF NORTH R/CHLAND HILLS "--- Department: Pu blic Works Counciil Meeting Date: 1-28-02 Subject: FrontaQe Roads Policy Chance- Resolution No. 2002-006 Agenda Number: GN 2002-008 The Texas Transportation Commission (TIC) is currently working on changes to their Frontage Road Policy. Much concern over this issue has been raised through the state from local regional transportation groups, counties, cities, business and chambers of commerce. There have also been a lot of "rumors" going around about which projects will be affected by the proposed changes. After reviewing the proposed changes it does not appear that the section of Loop 820 in North Richland Hills will be impacted. General information relating to the policy changes is listed below: > Existing highways with existing frontage roads will not be impacted. The only exception to this will be in those rare instances where it Can be proven with traffic studies that the frontage roads are unsafe. > No existing frontage roads will be removed as a result of this policy. > TxDOT will continue to construct frontage roads in cases where engineering studies '-- indicate they are needed because of traffic flow. > If a property owner currently has a driveway off a frontage road, access will be allowed to remain. In addition to the general information, Steve Simmons (previous District Engineer for TxDOT) informed City Management and Staff that the Loop 820 project in North Richland Hills will not be impacted by the policy changes. I attended the public meeting on January 15th in the City of Irving. I discussed the Loop 820 project with Mr. Charles Conrad during the meeting. Mr. Conrad also told me the Loop 820 project would not be impacted. Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)

The TIC is hereby requested to permit frontage roads to be built on all projects where such was committed to by TxDOT during the planning process, and the TIC issue a suspension of the order for all projects already in the planning stages in order for those projects to proceed unaffected during the hearing, study and negotiating process; and 2.

INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 2002-013 ( '-/ ~ Date: -r Subject: January 28, 2002 Award of TPWD Grant for Forest Glen East Neighborhood Park The Texas Parks and Wildlife Cd'mmission, at their January 17, 2002 meeting, approved a TPWD staff recommendation to approve grant funding in the amount of $364,000 for the development of a neighborhood park in the Forest Glen East Subdivision. The grant application ranked 3rd out of 39 projects submitted for funding this cycle. Only the top 13 projects were approved for funding by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission. We are particularly proud of this grant application as it was completely prepared by our staff. Prior to preparing the application, staff worked with the developer of this subdivision to negotiate location and acquisition of the proposed park site within the development. Staff negotiated for acquisition of 7.6 acres of developable upland adjacent to 15.7 acres dedicated within the Little Bear Creek Corridor. The City's share of the matching grant is being provided through the dedication of the Little Bear Creek Floodplain. The combination of the land dedication and the matching value in development funds from TPWD will result in a. $728,000 contribution towards the successful completion of the neighborhood park. . This brings the cumulative total of successful park and trail grants in the last 8 years to over ~. $11,500,000. We are obviously excited to share this good news with you and' we appreciate your continued support in developing the finest park system that we can provide for th.e citizens of North Richland Hills.
