At that time this initiative was spear headed by several cities in the Dallas / Fort Worth area, primarily the City of Irving who partnered with a transportation consultant to examine ways to improve transportation for the State of Texas, not just one particular region. Since that time, TEX-21 has emerged as one of the most organized and active lobbying groups for transportation in the State of Texas. TEX-21 is essentially a state wide grass roots coalition of mayors, council members, county judges and commissioners, city managers, transportation planners, Chamber of Commerce and private business people that are focusing on improving transportation at the state level. In doing this it is essential that Federal legislation as well as State legislation be changed in order to better serve the citizens of Texas. One example for this growing need to address the way transportation is handled in the State of Texas is that over the last seven legislative sessions our state population has increased 37%. But the number of traffic lanes has increased by just 2%. Our state population is expected to double from . 16.5 million in 1990 to 30-35 million by 2025. During this past legislative session TEX-21 was heavily involved in legislation effecting everything from graduated drivers' licenses, to TxDOT participation, and toll roads. Although the results were mixed most agree that TEX-21 was successful in its first legislative session amidst shrinking funds, public education and redistricting. Currently TEX-21 is working very hard at the federal level to look at ways to improve the funding allocation not only from the fuel tax but as well as the discretionary funding for Texas. Also, TEX-21 and many other cities in North Texas host the Transportation Summit in August to focus on issues such as; mass-transit, rail, air, and highways. Now that the group is getting more formalized and attempting to affect legislation at a greater level the executive committee is now partnering with Dean International to work on setting a very active course for the future, from public information, legislation at state and federal level, as well as keeping all its member cities informed on transportation topics. The executive committee of TEX-21 has approved a membership structure and based on North Richland Hills population the annual membership fee is proposed at $10,000. It is expected that many cities throughout the state will be participating. Over the past two years the city has not been required to pay any membership due to the infancy of the organization. Now that TEX-21 has been formalized its successes at the state level have been measured and we look for even greater things in the future. We have placed the $10,000 membership fee in next year's budget but wanted to give a brief update to the City Council on the background and what has been generated over the past two years. ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS ~ . INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 2001-101 ~ Date: T Subject: July 23, 2001 Iron Horse Golf Course Erosion Control Improvements Status Report The Deputy City Manager and Director of Public Works have met with managers of the Golf Course and the consulting engineer to develop a plan to complete the erosion control improvements that were identified in the Erosion and Sedimentation Control Master Plan. The plan is summarized below: . 1. Drainaae Improvements alona Hole #1: (Agenda Item for Council's Consideration> The highest priority is to complete the drainage improvements along the south side of hole #1. The design for these improvements is complete. Staff is investigating 2 options to get these improvements constructed. The first option is to negotiate a change order to a current CIP project. Currently McClendon Construction Co. is under contract to reconstruct 3 residential streets. Staff has forwarded the design for the improvements to Mr. Dan McClendon to obtain a quote and timeframe to include these improvements with his current City project. The other option is to bid these improvements separately. Staff can begin the bidding process immediately if it is determined that the change order is not the best option. 2. Construction of Bridges: The construction of the bridges is the second highest priority in completing the improvements identified in the Master Plan. Staff and the engineer have gone back and "valued engineered" this part of the plan, and recommend grouping the 3 most important bridges together as the "Base Bid". The bridge that will have the least impact on the golf course and some gabion work around Tee Box #10 will be listed as add/deduct alternate bids. This will assure the contractors that at least 3 of the bridges will be installed at this time. Depending on the actual bid cost, the fourth bridge and/or associated gabion work mayor may not be included at this time. An on-site pre-bid conference will be held with bidders encouraged to attend. We will also seek input from potential bidders to determine a reasonable timeline for these projects. If Council concurs with this approach we can begin the bidding process within 30 to 60 days. This will allow staff time to schedule the bid opening around TxDOT's bid opening. . 3. Remainina Improvements: The remaining improvements will be completed, as Golf Course revenues will allow. The order of completion will follow the priority order outlined in the Master Plan. All priority 1 projects will be completed before priority 2 projects. As previously mentioned to council some priority 2 projects may be eliminated once the priority 1 projects are completed. ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS .' . . . The City's consulting engineer, representatives from the Golf Course and City staff will be available to answer questions. Respectfully I 'II/{ (-~ CA-t- Mike Curtis, P.E., Public Works Director 2 f · , , INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 2001- 099 ~..~ -=pre=- I / Date: July 23, 2001 Subject: Possible Charter Revision At the goals retreat it was the consensus of Council to develop plans for a Charter revision election that would primarily include three-year terms for Mayor and City Council. The preference was to keep this a single issue for consideration by the voters but there was also discussion of the possibility of adding other items if it was determined that other changes needed to be made relating to compliance with state or federal law. While there may be a few areas of the Charter that could be considered for possible "house-keeping" changes, we recommend that the Council provide staff direction on calling the election at this time. Any other items for consideration can be discussed later if consensus is to proceed with a revision election. If a decision is made to proceed with the election for the length of terms then we will be following up with options for implementation of this change, 'should the voters approve the revision. Staff has reviewed this and is ready to proceed based on Council consensus. In order to have the election in November 2001, in conjunction with Tarrant County, the election needs to be called at the August 13th Council meeting. This will allow time for clearance from the Justice Department. We have attached a proposed schedule to comply with the requirements to hold the election on November 6, 2001. The basic language for the change would state that Article V, Section 3, of the Charter be amended to provide for the Mayor and Councilpersons to be elected for three (3) year terms. The exact wording and the implementation of the change will be determined if a consensus is reached to proceed with the election. We will be glad to discuss this with you and look forward to direction from Council on this subject.

Tarrant County has not finalized the details of their procedures for this election. They indicated that they would use our polling locations with two setups - one for city election and one for state with two separate ballots. We would use the judges and clerks that they appoint and would follow their early voting hours. When we call the election, Council will also need to approve a resolution authorizing the joint election with the County. -- - INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 2001-100 .\ I -=3..~ ~t-= ?1r Date: July 18, 2001 Subject: Review of Northeast Family Fourth Celebration This year was the seventh year of the Northeast Family Fourth held at Tarrant County College and sponsored by the cities of North Richland Hills, Richland Hills, Haltom City, Watauga, Hurst, Keller and Colleyville. There has been a steady increase in direct financial participation from area cities from .07 per capita to the current .09 per capita financial commitment. During the past two years the City of North Richland Hills has chosen to provide $5,000 additional funds to the minimum commitment to provide for an improved event. In 2000 the North Richland Hills City Council approved an additional $5,000 to extend the fireworks display as part of the millennium celebration. In 2001 the City of North Richland Hills also increased direct financial funding by $5,000 to provide for additional giveaways and entertainment. Area cities are providing about 50% of the Police and Fire staffing the day of the event with North Richland Hills providing 50% of Public Safety staffing. The City of North Richland Hills has traditionally taken the lead in planning and preparation for the Northeast Family Fourth Celebration. e Currently, most of the planning for the event come from North Richland Hills Economic Development Department (Ashley Stathatos), Police Department (Sid Brown), Fire Department (Dean Bray) and Tarrant County College. The 4th of July event typically runs from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm consisting of local music and festivities followed by a 30 minute fireworks show. . This year, approximately 40,000 people were at TCC and surrounding locations to view the fireworks show. The Northeast Family Fourth continues to increase in size and has reached a point in which staff needs City Council direction for continuing the event and seeking support for staff assistance and funding from participating cities. The Need for Increased Participation and Contribution: The primary planning and funding for the event comes from the Economic Development Department with help from Police and Fire for the event day. Tarrant County College staff has also been very helpful. To take the event to a higher level, increased funds and staff support need to come from participating cities. North Richland Hills has made a choice to increase participation and now needs similar commitments from area cities to continue to make July 4th a premier Northeast Tarrant event. Increasing Fireworks and Enlisting a National Band for July 4th Entertainment: In comparing other area 4th of July events, the primary activities citizens look for is having a major fireworks show and a nationally known band or entertainer. For the July 4th celebration to be a premier event we need to offer a fireworks display equal or better than area cities and bring in a national band or entertainer that would bring name recognition to the event. . Changing the Location of the Northeast Family Fourth: Tarrant County College has been an excellent location for the Northeast Family Fourth providing good access and visibility for the cities of Northeast Tarrant County. If participating cities continue to support the event at an equitable level, staff would recommend that the Northeast Family Fourth activities be continued at Tarrant County College. However, if area cities decide not to sponsor the event, staff would recommend that the 4th of July celebration become a North Richland Hills event and be held at HomeTown NRH. _ ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS - Please see the attached documents which include a July 4th Survey of Area Cities and a proposed plan for next years event. Recommendation: Staff is recommending that the Northeast Family Fourth be continued at Tarrant County College with increased support from area cities to provide for a larger fireworks display and maior entertainment supportive of a premier Northeast Tarrant event. Staff would recommend seeking additional funds for the event from area cities by increasing their contribution from .09 per capita to .20 per capita. Staff is recommending that a letter agreement be requested from all participating cities that stipulates minimum per capita funding including financial support from business sponsorships and staff or volunteer support the day of the event. If area cities decide not to sponsor the event at a level of a premier Northeast Tarrant event. staff would bring back a recommendation to scale back the event and look at moving to HomeTown NRH with all promotional efforts focused on a North Richland Hills event rather than Northeast Tarrant County. The City Council listed the need for a formal policy and action plan for North Richland Hills events at their recent retreat. Staff is proposing that the Northeast Family Fourth Celebration and Christmas Tree Ceremony be considered primary events for the City of North Richland Hills with full promotional efforts behind these events. .

I Date: July 23, 2001 Subject Legislative Update Attached is a report listing new legislation that will have some impact on operations in North Richland Hills. Department directors reviewed the list of legislation that was passed during the 7th session and determined what the anticipated impacts will be of city-related bills. The attached report is a compilation of this information. During the session legislators introduced 5,712 bills in the 2001 session and approved 1,621 of these. More than 1200 of the introduced bills were related to cities in some way. Roughly 150 of the approved bills are city related, and 23 of these are included in the attached report as ones that will directly affect North 'Richland Hills. Other city related bills will likely affect us indirectly at some point in the future. e Legislation that failed included legislation introduced to increase the population threshold for traffic signal maintenance on state highways from 50,000 to 100,000, which would have prevented NRH from taking over such maintenance this year. As a result, we will take over the maintenance and operation of all traffic signals on state highways within our city beginning September 1 st. Public Works has revised their current year budget to reflect maintenance costs in September, and the cost of maintenance for fiscal year 2001-2002 is included in the proposed budget. We look forward to reviewing this information with you Monday and answering any questions you might have. ~~S~C~U:UD~ GrB§-·· ~ Managing Director of Community Services & Facilities ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS e e e Impact of New Legislation on NRH Bill Caption Effective Date Impact HB197 Raised contract amount at 9/1/2001 Could change our which city must seek a purchasing policies and competitive bid from $15,000 to procedures accordingly 25,000. by increasing the threshold amount to take bid items to Council to $25,0000 H B 1981 Amends Chapter 252 of local 9/1/2001 City could make this government code providing that option available to all a city may receive bids and vendors, but must not proposals through electronic limit the ability of transmission if the governing vendors to submit hard body adopts rules to ensure the copy bids and proposals. identification, security and Staff will work toward confidentiality of the electronic implementing the bids or proposals. technology to do this.

Enacts various changes impact operations of the in aqency philosophy. department. HB1362 Dangerous Wild Animals 9/1/2001 No impact. The City is already in compliance with regulations set forth in this leqislation. SB243 Impact Fees 9/1/2001 Will not have a monetary impact, but appears to change the reporting period and the public meeting procedure. Public Works will just need to make sure the plan is updated every 5 years instead of every 3 years. This actually reduces the number of updates required. SB108 Start of the school year 9/1/2001 This legislation calling for school districts to start the school year no earlier than the week containing August 21 st each year (unless they hold a public hearing to opt out) will have a substantially positive effect on staffing, attendance, revenues and overall financial performance of nrh20 water park and our summer recreation programs at the Recreation Center and Tennis Center. 4 e e HB1739 Increases fines for failing to use 9/1/2001 child restraints in a vehicle. The fine is raised from 25-50 dollars to 100-200 dollars. The city imposing the fine shall send 50 percent of the fine to the state comptroller for the trauma center fund. (Cities may now retain 25-50 dollars; under this legislation, they may retain 50- 100 dollars.) A policy must be written and implemented to address those things specified in the law. The Police Department will be required to gather information that has not been gathered in the past when a citation is written, arrest is made, or search is initiated resulting from a traffic stop. A report will be given to the City Council each year based on information collected. There will be little to no monetary impact. This bill will affect the collection of the court but not effect revenues. We will collect the additional fine amount for the seat belt violation, and one time per year, must send this additional fine revenue to the State. They will keep 50% of our total fines for seat belt, but since they are increasing the minimum and maximum fine by 100%, this will not affect the Courts revenues. SB1074 Bans racial profiling by police 9/1/2001 officers. Requires that the agency shall adopt a racial profiling policy that defines the term, establishes a complaint procedure, requires corrective action for an officers who engages in racial profiling, and requires the collection of information and an annual report to the governing body of the agency. HB2410 Allows a municipal court to 9/1/2001 waive the payment of delinquent municipal court fines or court costs if the court determines that a defendant is indigent and that payment of the fine or cost through any of the alternative methods of payment would constitute an undue hardship on the defendant This should have little to no impact on our operation or revenues. This accounts for less than .01 % of our defendants. e 5 e S81371 Expands the provision of the 9/1/2001 Transportation Code that allows a city to contract with the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) to deny the renewal of a person's driver's license for failure to appear in court, by also allowing a city to contract with DPS to deny renewal of a driver's license for a person who fails to payor satisfy a judgement ordering payment of a fine or court cost in municipal court. SB1377 Authorizes the state auditor to 9/1/2001 review each fund and account into which court fees are directed and determine whether: (a) the money is being used for the proper purpose, and (b) the amount of the court cost is appropriate. e e S81421 Raises from 25 cents to 50 9/1/2001 cents the municipal court fee that funds the Center for the Study and Prevention of Juvenile Crime and Delinquency at Prairie View A&M University, and imposes a new 50-cent fee for the operation of the Correctional Management Institute of Texas at Sam Houston State University. This bill will raise state court costs and fees S81681 Clarifies provisions of the Code 9/1/2001 of Criminal Procedure by providing that in a misdemeanor case punishable by a fine only, payment of the fine constitutes a written waiver of a jUry trial in 6 If we choose to contract with DPS to deny renewal of a defendants drivers license, this would or could affect our revenues positively by an estimated $25,000 per year. This will not effect us since the accounts that we have set up for state fees and our specialty fees Le., building security fund, technology fee are correctly being collected, and held in separate escrow accounts with funds only being spent on what is stipulated by statute. This will increase the base fee of all citations from $46.25 and $49.25 up to $47.00 and $50.00 Since this money is sent to the State, it will require setting up one additional account with Budget and Finance, and separating out our General Ledger to allow proper collection of these funds. The court changed all forms and judgments last year to include a space to be signed by the defendant waiving his/her riqht to a JUry Trial. It is e e e SJR49 the case. Proposes an amendment to the Texas Constitution which, if approved by Texas voters in November, will provide that if the legislature enacts a bill that consolidates municipal court fees, all future fees must conform to that consolidation. The proposed amendment also provides that any fee adopted in the future may not take effect prior to the following January 1, unless the legislature approves the fee by a two-thirds vote of the elected members of each house. 1/1/2002 if approved by the voters in November HB3178 Requires the executive director 9/1/2001 of a 4A or 4B corporation, and either the city attorney, city manager, or city clerk, to attend biennial training seminars on 4A and 4B laws. A corporation could be fined $1,000 for not receivinq the traininq. S879 Provides that all elections (with 9/1/01 few exceptions) shall be held on four uniform election dates: the 1 sl Satruday in February, the 1 sl Saturday in May, the 2nd Saturday in September, and the 1 sl Tuesday after the 1 sl Monday in November. 7 no longer necessary to do so with this new legislation. If payment is received on a case, it can now be considered a plea and waiver of Jury Trial. This has no effect on us at this time, since the Legislature is not consolidating fees at this time, and in the event they do so in the future, then new fees will be added into the consolidated fees instead of separate items. It also gives Courts more time to add new fees/costs/fines to our computer software since they date of new enactment would become January 1 instead of September 1 . Staff will identify who needs to attend the training, and what type of training will be offered once this is determined by the state. Staff will ensure all elections are held on these dates per the law. This includes bond elections. · Special Presentations Proclamation: Presenter: Recipient: Reason: · · National Kids Day Mayor and Council Lisa Olvy, Branch Executive of YMCA on Davis Blvd. National KidsDay is an annual day set aside specifically for adults to celebrate and honor America's children.

None Mr. John Pitstick advised Council that Mr. Ron Huggins and Mr. Ernest Hedgecoth would be presenting Council with Huggin Honda's proposal for expansion. Mr. Huggins provided Council with a proposed development plan. Mr. Huggins advised Council that the Wilson's property would tie in with lot 12 (west side of Susan Lee), and that lots 6, 7 (east side of Susan Lee, 24, 25, and 26A west side e ZONING CASE PZ 2001-06 IR 2001-091 UPDATE ON IMPACTS OF THE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS Pre Council Minutes July 09, 2001 Page 2 of Nancy Lane) are currently in the process of closing. Councilman Trevino advised Council and Mr. Huggins that his motion included a development plan because of the variances being requested by Mr. Huggins. Councilman Trevino was concerned that Mr. Huggins would be requesting more variances with each lot he has attained. Councilwoman Johnson asked Mr. Huggins how long would his recent acquisitions take him into the future. Mr. Huggins advised Council that the recent acquisitions would take care of his immediate needs. However, if another opportunity (lot) becomes available along Susan Lee he will look into the possibility of purchasing lot. Council consensus was that the plans for development of Huggins Honda addressed the re uest of Council. J. Pitstick Mr. Mike Curtis presented Council with a powerpoint presentation summarizing the Stormwater Management Plan - Phase II. The minimum EPA requirements for the City of North Richland Hills are: (1) Public Education & Outreach Educate the public to improve compliance Distribute educational material - Target toward groups or stakeholders - Determine measurable goals (2) Public Involvement Build support through public format Public meetings Determine measurable goals (3) Illicit Discharges Pre Council Minutes July 09, 2001 Page 3 e Eliminate stormwater pollutants Outfall and system topographical map Ordinances with enforcement Detection and elimination plan Dumping program (4) Construction Site Stormwater Reduce sediment discharges Sites of one or acre or larger Ordinances with enforcement Construction waste disposal Plan review and site inspections (5) Post Construction Stormwater Reduction of pollutants and physical impacts of new development Ordinances with enforcement Plan review and site inspections Determine measurable goals (6) Municipal Operations Reduce the impacts of poor operations and practices Program to reduce pollution from maintenance operations street and highway pollution waste disposal Determine measurable goals EPA estimates the cost to be $6.00 - $9.00 per household, which would possibly be a total amount cost of $130,000 - $207,000. Mr. Cunningham advised Council that one part of the requirement (grid maps) is being ro osed for next ear's bud et. M. Curtis e IR 2001-090 DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE FOR TEMPORARY FOOD VENDORS Pre Council Minutes July 09, 2001 Page 4 Ms. Pam Burney informed Council that the current ordinance does not address temporary food vendors. The proposed ordinance will regulate and permit temporary food vendors to operate in North Richland Hills as follows: Business be required to have a minimum of 10,000 square feet to qualify Permit to be issued to the business and not the vendor Require that vendor be located within 10 feet of the front of the business and not block fire lanes, parking spaces or ingress and egress of business Allows business to have up to two (2) events a month, each event to be no more than three (3) consecutive days and that the events be at least four (4) consecutive days apart Allows for no more than one vendor per event Requires that food vendor comply with all regulations pertaining to temporary events Sets the permit fee at $50.00 per event to be obtained by the business which is in accordance with the current ordinances fees for temporary event permits Requires the food vendor to remove the equipment at the end of each day of operations and provide approved commissary information before permit is issued Requires that temporary food vendors only be permitted in Commercial, Retail and Industrial zoned areas of the city Councilman Whitson asked Ms. Burney if this proposed ordinance would apply to charitable organizations. Ms. Burney advised Council that charitable organizations fall under the current ordinance. Councilman Metts asked if the 10-foot requirement would encroach on the fire lane. Councilman Welch wanted staff and legal to be sure there are no loopholes in the ordinance that would set the cit u for discrimination Pre Council Minutes July 09, 2001 Page 5 e lawsuits. Councilwoman Johnson questioned why staff is limiting the temporary vendors to two (2) events a month. Ms. Burney advised Council the proposed ordinance before them tonight is merely suggestions from staff. The ordinance is presented for Council review and suggestions. Mayor Pro Tem Mitchell inquired if a business that is located within a plaza strip would be allowed to obtain a temporary food vendor permit. Mayor Pro Tem Mitchell believes that an individual occupant of a plaza strip should have the same ability to obtain a temporary food vendor permit. Mr. Pitstick advised Council the wording could be changed to read "a minimum of 10,000 continuous square feet". Mayor Pro Tem Mitchell would like to include in ordinance the requirement that food vendors be citizens of North Richland Hills. Councilman Trevino inquired about the health and safety aspect of the temporary food vendors. Ms. Burney advised Council that the Environmental Services Health Inspectors would inspect the vendors after a permit is issued to ensure compliance. Councilman Metts asked staff to define the term "day" specifically as it relates to item 5C. Councilman Metts said there are some stores that stay open 24 hours. Councilman Tolbert suggested that 1A be clarified as to what the minimum of 10,000 square feet would include. Councilman Tolbert inquired about 2C. Councilman Tolbert wanted to know if the time outlined in 2C was between issuance's. e IR 2001-093 DISCUSS CHRISTMAS EVENT LOCATION AND TREE OPTIONS Pre Council Minutes July 09, 2001 Page 6 Ms. Burney advised Council it was between permits. Staff advised Council they would bring the temporary ordinance with suggestions of Council for action at the July 23 City Council meetin . P. Burne Ms. Burney advised Council that the Christmas Committee looked at three other options for the Christmas festivities due to the Rufe Snow Bridge project. The three locations were the current location at the Library, Mid-Cities Fire Administration, and the NRH20 parking lot. In assessing the locations the committee considered the following: Parking Electrical Availability - Outdoor Lighting Interruption of Services - Costs Christmas Tree Exposure to Public Safety Special Event Space - Adequate Crowd Space The committee is recommending the Mid-Cities Fire Administration Building because it is centrally located and has excellent visibility from Mid-Cities Boulevard. The committee liked the open green space, trees and the adjacent pavement areas. Electrical needs for entertainment and stage lights could be accessed from the fire truck bay area and power needed for the tree would come from relocating the electrical panel from the Library. The city can use Kimberly Clark parking lot and one side of Tecnol Boulevard for overflow parking. This location would require the purchase of an artificial tree with a cost of approximately $16,000. Current location at the Library has presented parking challenges. Parking will be even more troublesome with the growth in attendance. The Libra will lose arkin 5 aces due to the Rufe e Pre Council Minutes July 09,2001 Page 7 Snow Bridge project. The Library and Recreation Center would need to be closed in order to allow for event parking. If the event were to be moved the Linda Spurlock tree would still be lighted and decorated. NRHzO parking lot was considered primarily because of their ample parking. However, the green space adjacent to Grapevine Highway is too narrow for the proposed 40' Christmas tree. In addition to being close to Grapevine Highway the tree would not be secure from mischief at NRHzO. The committee felt the Christmas tree would be identified as the NRHzO tree and not a City of North Richland Hills tree. It is the recommendation of the committee that the "Night of Holiday Magic" Christmas event be moved to the Mid-Cities Fire Administration Building and that the 40' Christmas tree be purchased. Council consensus was to move the Christmas event to the Mid-Cities Fire Administration Building and that staff purchase the 40' P. BurneyN. Loftice Christmas tree.

Mr. Pitstick advised Council the following were requested variances: Requesting a variance from Section 520C of the Zoning Ordinance, which requires all requests for PD Planned Development to be a minimum of 4 acres in size. Applicant's site is approximately 2.0 acres in size. Requesting a variance from Section 606 of the Zoning Ordinance, which requires buildings over 10,000-sq. ft. and located within a commercial district have articulated building façade. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval with the following stipulations: · North building elevation (facing Shady Grove Road) be a combination of brick and stone materials. · All pole lights indicated on the plan to be ground lights. · No 175 watt light(s) to be located on the east side of the building. No lights to shine into adjacent residential areas. · Screening fence around the pool to be wrought iron-type with brick columns. · All lighting around the pool to be mounted on the brick columns of the screening fence Councilman Trevino inquired why staff did not tie the PD request use to only be for a child enrichment school. Mr. Pitstick advised Council they could make that stipulation. Councilman Tolbert asked if the applicant was in compliance with Planning and Zoning's stipulations. Mr. Pitstick advised Council applicant complied with stipulations except for the lights. The applicant did not have the lights on the elevation plan. 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.

City Council Minutes July 09, 2001 Page 7 e Motion to approve carried 7-0. 14, PU 2001-031-REJECTING BIDS FOR IRON HORSE GOLF COURSE IMPROVEMENTS APPROVED Mr. Mike Curtis advised Council at their February 28, 2000 City Council meeting they approved PW 2000-09 which addressed problems at Iron Horse Golf Course. In order to address the problems the following improvements were identified. 1. Construct four (4) 2-way bridges (12-feet wide) which span from approximately 60' to 100' at key low water crossings. 2. Construct a total of approximately 225 feet of low height gabion retaining wall and a total of 130' feet of 10' to 12' high gabion retaining wall. 3. Provide erosion repair and extend a concrete apron at one of the low water crossings. e The construction budget for this project was $475.000. In addition to the improvements. staff included some drainage improvements along Hole #1 estimated at $20,000 - $30,000. Staff is recommending that Council reject the three (3) bids from the contractors and break down the project into smaller projects. Councilman Trevino voiced his concern with breaking the project into smaller projects because it may result in bids coming in higher. Councilman Trevino advised that staff needs to be careful when breaking down projects and coherent of TxDOT's letting dates for projects. Councilman Tolbert asked how staff arrived at the figure of $475,000. Mr. Curtis advised Council the amount was determined by a study conducted of the golf course. Councilman Tolbert asked staff why the study amount came in so much lower than that of the lowest bid from AUI General Contractors. Mr. Curtis advised Council there were a few reasons for the difference between study amount and bid amount. The golf course and staff decided not to include surveys, the channel bottom was 5 to 6 feet deeper than anticipated, which in turn called for a taller gabion, bids were taken at a bad time, engineer underestimated the cost of putting in e e e e City Council Minutes July 09, 2001 Page 8 bridges, turnover at the golf course, and current golf course staff concerned with preserving existing landscaping. Mr. Curtis advised Council that staff could move forward with the improvements at Hole #1 immediately. Councilman Tolbert mentioned that the citizens located by hole #1 have been inconvenienced for a long time and that he is happy to see that staff is making it a priority. Councilman Tolbert asked staff for a timeline for the remaining items. Deputy City Manager Randy Shiflet advised Council that the specs for Hole #1 are ready for bid this month. Mr. Shiflet anticipates that this project could be complete by the end of the summer. The bridges would be second in the timeframe to be completed. Mr. Shiflet acknowledged that the project was hurt when staff did not include a pre-bid meeting on site. Mr. Curtis advised Council that bridge #3 is a priority and that staff will get an estimate for all four bridges. City Manager Larry Cunningham advised Council he would have Mr. Shiflet give Council an update at July 23 Pre-Council meeting. The update will include the time line for the projects and how the project will be broken down into smaller projects. Council consensus was to proceed with Hole #1 and have staff update Council at the July 23 Pre-Council meeting. Councilman Trevino moved to reject all bids and have staff bring back different bid options to Council. Councilwoman Johnson seconded the motion. Motion to approve carried 7-0. 15, A.

CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: Planning & Inspections Department Council Meeting Date: 7/23/01 Subject: Consider the Final Plat of Forest Glenn East Addition, Agenda Number: PS 2000-11 Phase I requested by Doug Long on 43.63 acres of land located in the 8500 Block of North Tarrant Parkway CASE SUMMARY Doug Long has submitted a plat application on property zoned "R-2". The Development Review Committee has reviewed the plat for compliance with the Subdivision Rules and Regulations. The plat substantially complies with both the Zoning Ordinance and the Subdivision Ordinance. The following issues, however, have not been resolved with this plat request. Public Works (see attached memo): · This project will involve Corps of Engineers authorization including certain conditions for approval. The Public Works Department has no record of these conditions having been met; · Signed easements for off-site sanitary sewer mains and drainage improvements were requested prior to forwarding this plat to P&Z. These signed easements have not been received; · A Channel Maintenance Agreement and a Homeowners Association Agreement responsible for maintenance of the channel were requested prior to the current plat submittal. Neither agreement has been submitted to staff for review; · The proposed driveway approach on Lot 40 does not meet the City's spacing requirement. A site plan and Traffic Impact Analysis have not been submitted to staff for review; · The developer has dedicated a 200' wide strip of land from Precinct Line Road to the western city limit line. The applicant has requested a waiver of escrow and construction requirements for their portion of North Tarrant Parkway (the Planning and Zoning Commission supports this waiver). Finance Review Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.) Operating Budget Other - ~ ~ct2~ Account Number Sufficient Funds Available Finance Director Department Head Signature PS 2000-11 Forest Glenn East Page 1 of 2 CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Comprehensive Land Use Plan · The northern portion of the plat is shown as open space on the Comprehensive Plan. This area is a tributary of Little Bear Creek. It is shown as a portion of single family lots on the plat and is to be dedicated as a 50' wide drainage easement. The Little Bear Creek Committee supports the removal of the open space designation on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Other: · This final plat was submitted on March 3, 2000 and is therefore not under the requirements of the Tree Preservation Ordinance. · The plat is exempt from the parkland dedication ordinance. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning Commission at their meeting on April 12, 2001, recommended by a vote of 6 to 0 to approve PZ 2000-11 subject to meeting the staff engineering comments before taking the plat to the City Council for consideration. The commission agreed that the escrow money for North Tarrant Parkway should be waived. The applicant originally requested that this plat be placed on the May 14, 2001 City Council Agenda for consideration. As a result of unresolved issues (as noted) and the Commission's vote to resolve these issues prior to placing the plat on the Council's agenda, the plat is not ready for consideration. The 30-day rule for plat approval begins once the Planning and Zoning Commission has made a recommendation for approval. The 30-day clock on this plat would have ended on May 1 ih, however, the applicant submitted a written request to place the plat on the May 14th City Council Agenda. Any additional postponement will require an additional written request from the a~plicant or the plat would be automatically approved based on inaction. At the May 14t City Council meeting a letter was received requesting that Forest Glen East be placed on the June 11, 2001 meeting. Staff has since received letters from the applicant requesting that this item be postponed until July 23rd and most recently to the August 27, 2001 City Council meeting. Staff is recommending that PS 2000-11 Final Plat of Forest Glenn East, Phase I be denied at this time because of the legal concerns over the 30-day rule for plat approvals and concerns over not having Corps of Engineers approval for designation of flood plain preservation areas, CITY COUNCIL ACTION ITEM PS 2000-11 Forest Glenn East page 2 of 2 '. . . .

Department: Planning & Inspections Department Council Meeting Date: 7/23/01 Subject: Consider the request of Byron Montgomery to approve the Agenda Number: PS 2001-16 Final Plat of Lots 2R & 3R, Block 3, Stoney Ridge Addition on .35 acres of land located in the 7000 Block of Michael Drive. CASE SUMMARY: Byron Montgomery has submitted a plat application on property zoned R-3. The purpose of the plat is to revise the existing property line between two lots. The Development Review Committee has reviewed the plat for compliance with the Subdivision Rules and Regulations. Proposed Lot 3R does not meet the minimum lot width (65') or lot size (7,500 sq. ft.) of the R-3 Residential Zoning District. The applicant, however, received variances from the Board of Adjustment from these requirements based on saving several large trees on the property (ref. ZBA 2001-05). The Public Works Department has the following comments concerning this plat. These comments will need to be addressed with the Final Plat submittal. . A revised grading plan will need to be submitted for each site when permits are applied for. . New location of an existing fire hydrant will need to be taken into account when designing improvements to lot 2R. Attached is a letter from Byron Montgomery responding to the Public Works comments. In response to Mr. Montgomery's letter concerning the fire hydrant, a field inspection by staff indicated that the "as built" plans were incorrect and the hydrant was not located on the applicant's lot. With regard to the issue of a revised grading plan, staff feels that a revised, engineered grading plan is necessary in order to analyze the impact the smaller lot size has from the original drainage plan. Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan indicates low density residential uses for the site. The proposed plat is in conformance with this depiction.

Minimum Lot Width from 65 feet to 52 feet. The property is known as Lots 2 & 3, Block 3, Stoney Ridge Addition, and is located at 7116 & 7120 Michael Drive APPROVED Opening the public hearing, Chairman Duer asked that anyone who would like to speak in favor of the request please step forward. Byron Montgomery, owner of the property approached the committee with his plans for lots 2 & 3 of the Stoney Ridge Addition. Mr. Montgomery bought the lots with the intention of moving the trees, but has since realized this will not happen. He then entertained the idea of combining the lots and building one large house, but due to this causing a very high lot and house cost, he decided against this. He has even tried to sell portions of lot 2 to the person on lot 1 and to the city, in order to save the trees. He feels that he has finally found the solution to use the land and save the trees. Being the builder for 5 other homes in the subdivision, he will be building these two homes for resale. At the present time, he does have a buyer interested in the larger lot and home, but the smaller house will be a spec home. Mr. Ken Miley of 7012 Spring Creek, Watauga, Texas, spoke in favor of the request. Mr. Miley would like to purchase Lot 2 in which the larger house will be built. He and his wife are looking for something that has an older neighborhood look that is framed out by the trees on lot 2. The public hearing was closed and questions and comments were requested from the committee members. Dr. Rick Enlow, made a motion, seconded by Mr. Whitson, to approve the movement of the lot lines making lot 3, 52 feet wide, with a stipulation that the home built on this lot would have a minimum of 1,900 square feet of living area. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). ZBA Minutes February 15, 2001 · · · \ 5. PS 2001-16 PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE REPLA T OF LOTS 2R & 3R, BLOCK 3, STONEY RIDGE ADDITION BY BYRON MONTGOMERY IN THE 7000 BLOCK OF MICHAEL DRIVE. APPROVED Cathy Horton gave a brief summary of the case stating the lots are currently platted lots and the request is to adjust the single lot line to save several large Oak trees. This case went before the Zoning Board of Adjustments and was approved with variance on lot size and lot width. Staff recommends approval subject to Public Works comments of a revised grading plan to be submitted. Chairman Don Bowen opened the Public Hearing. Tim Welch commented about a letter that Public Works sent to Michael Montgomery back in February, 2001 requesting a revised grading plan that we have not yet received. A building permit has already been issued, however, and the form boards are already in place. Mr. Welch expressed concern that there is a public safety issue of children falling in the 4' trenches that were dug for connection to water and sewer. He also questioned the size of the two homes on these lots. Michael Montgomery commented that he took a poll of the neighborhood and none of the neighbors were opposed. He also stated that the revised grading plan is in the works. Chairman Don Bowen closed the Public Hearing. Richard Davis, seconded by Doug Blue, motioned to approve PS 2001-16 with the stipulation that the revised grading plan must be received prior to City Council for approval and to add that the variance request should be noted on the plat. The motion carried (4-2) with Tim Welch and James Laubacher voting against.

Skare, P.E., Senior Staff Engineer SUBJECT: STONEYRIDGE ADDITION, BLOCK 3, LOTS 2R & 3R; PS2001-16 Public Works has reviewed the plat submitted to this office on May 7,2001 and offers the following comments. 1. GRADING PLAN A revised grading plan for both lots needs to be submitted with the building permit for either lot. The plans should be site specific for each lot. The plan should be designed, signed and sealed by a Licensed Texas Engineer as outlined in the Public Works Design Manual. 2. FIRE HYDRANT The record drawings for this subdivision indicate a fire hydrant located on the original property line of Lots 2 & 3. The fire hydrant will now be approximately 19.5 feet west of the east property line of Lot 2R. This may conflict with the proposed driveway. The house and driveway should be designed as to avoid conflict with the hydrant, otherwise the developer will be responsible for relocation of the hydrant at their expense. The developer should confirm the location of the water and sanitary sewer services. The services should be located within the property limits of the proposed new lots. This memo should be used in conjunction with the marked up plat. There are a few minor notes on the plat sheet. - J S/dmg/pwmj001-065 cc: Mike Curtis P.E., Public Works Director P U Bnl 8:2060" .

It increases the number of lots platted to the original residential subdivision, therefore a public hearing was required. Chairman Don Bowen opened the public hearing. Mr. Ernest Hedgcoth spoke in favor. No one spoke in opposition of the request. Chairman Don Bowen closed the public hearing. Doug Blue, seconded by James Laubacher, motioned to approve PS 2001-18 subject to DRC comments. The motion carried unanimously (7-0). . . . . . NRH Public Works / Administration CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS July 2, 2001 MEMO TO: Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Julia W. Skare, Senior Staff Engineer SUBJECT: CLIFTON ADDITION, BLOCK 1, LOTS 1 R & 2; PS2001-18 Public Works has reviewed the plat submitted to this office on June 29 and offer the following comments. 1. FIRE HYDRANT The site/grading plan shows a fire hydrant on the north side of Amundson Drive. The Public Works Design Manual states, "Fire hydrants located on the opposite side of a major collector or arterial street, from a development shall not be considered when determining adequate fire hydrant coverage for a development". Amundson Drive is designated as a C4U, a major collector, on the Master Thoroughfare Plan. The City grid maps indicate a fire hydrant located southwest of the intersection of Walter Street. This hydrant needs to be accurately shown on the utility plan. Public Works believes this hydrant provides adequate coverage for proposed Lot 2. 2. WALTER STREET Walter Street is currently unimproved. The Clifton's had provided a filed covenant with the original plat. Staff understands the new property owners will be signing a covenant for frontage along the proposed Lot 2. The covenant will need to be signed after City Council approval and prior to, or in conjunction with the filing of the plat. 3. DRAINAGE/GRADING Public Works is not opposed to a site specific engineered grading plan in place of a drainage analysis. The site specific plan will need to be approved prior to issuance of the building permit. 4. STREETLIGHTS The plans indicate a streetlight on the north side of Amundson Drive. An additional streetlight is required. The location of the proposed street light should be indicated on the plan with the next submittal. The installation of the streetlight should be coordinated with TXU and Public Works, The developer will pay the cost for installation of any additional streetlights directly to TXU. A separate letter will be provided to the Engineer on or before July 23 addressing grading and utility plan items. ~ S/dmglpwm2 1-090 cc: Mike Curtis, P.E., Public Works Director Mike Walker, P.E., Assistant Public Works Director ~': Òi), .32()iC;09 .. \,~rcll ·:;;;·.~"·2,~U HillS.

Subject: Appeal Request for Public Hearing to Consider the Agenda Number: PZ 2001-06 Request of James M. Wilson for a Zoning Change from R2 Single Family Residential to PD Planned Development for the expansion of an adjacent automobile dealership. The Property is located at 4705 Susan Lee Lane and is known as Lot 20, Block 5, Richland Terrace Addition. Ordinance # 2554 CASE SUMMARY Mr. James M. Wilson has submitted an application for a planned development at 4705 Susan Lee Lane. The site will be utilized as an expanded display area for the adjacent Huggins Honda Dealership. The Texas Department of Highways is expected to improve NE Loop 820 in the near future and approximately 30' of right-of-way will be needed from the frontage of the existing dealership. The single-family residential structure currently on the site of this zoning request will be removed and the adjacent vehicle display area will be expanded in its place. Traffic and Access -The existing residential driveway will be removed and replaced with landscaping. All access to the proposed display area will be from the existing dealership. No access is proposed from Susan Lee Lane. Parking - The site will be utilized as expanded display area for new automobile sales. The plan notes that no vehicle display ramps will be permitted. Signage - No signs, flags, or banners will be permitted on the site. Landscaping - The zoning ordinance requires a 15' irrigated landscape buffer (including one large tree per 50 linear feet) along the northern property line where residential adjacency exists. Also, a 15' irrigated landscape setback (including one large tree per 50 linear feet) is required along the Susan Lee Lane frontage. The· plan notes that no landscape buffer is proposed along the northern property line. A 5' landscape setback with one large tree and bermuda grass is proposed along the Susan Lee Lane frontage. The plan does not indicate if the setback is to be irrigated. Finance Review Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.) Operating Budget Other -~~~ Account Number Sufficient Funds Available Department Head Signature Finance Director L:\Cases\PZ Cases\PZ 2001-06 Huggins CC sum.doc Page 1 of 1 ·-C....,.:_.-.,:.'"..."......._,....__. CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS . Screening - 6' masonry, screening wall is required by ordinance along the north property line. The plan proposes a 6' brick wall (constructed according to city standards) along this boundary. Lighting - The plan proposes three, 15', hooded, light standards. Two of the lights are located at the northeast and northwest corners of the lot, adjacent to residential zoning/uses. A third light is proposed near the southeast corner of the lot across the street from residential uses. The plan notes that all lights will be directed away from residential areas. Comprehensive Plan - The proposed 1992 Comprehensive Plan Update (recently recommended for approval by the Commission) recommends low-density residential uses for the site and surrounding areas along Susan Lee Lane. The proposed zoning/use is not consistent with this depiction. The Plan, however, also recognizes the subject tract and surrounding areas as being situated within a Strategic Planning Area identified as the Freeway Business District. In this area the Plan encourages both the retention and expansion of existing businesses. To facilitate this, the Plan suggests that the city investigate the potential long-term redevelopment for the Richland Terrace neighborhood. This includes assisting the neighborhood in achieving a buyout plan for redevelopment purposes. To that end, the Plan suggests that future transitions of land uses along the Freeway encompass a minimum of 25 acres of land in order to avoid or minimize curb cuts, provide for shared access and logical geographic development of the area while avoiding piecemeal development patterns. Requested Variances - Variances under this Planned Development site plan include: · No landscape buffer along the northern property line (rather than the 15' required). · 5' landscape setback along the Susan Lee Lane frontage (rather than the 15' required). · 5.5% of the lot to be landscaped (rather than the 15% required). RECOMMENDA TION The Planning & Zoning Commission met on May 10, 2001 and voted 6 to 0 to recommend denial of PZ 2001-06. The primary concerns focused on piecemeal development and retail encroachment into the neighborhood as well as impacts on property values. Several letters and a petition of opposition to the original request are attached. Staff has reviewed the letters of opposition and has determined that an override vote of the Council is not required. On May 29th the City Council passed a motion to postpone this request for 120 days. Mr, Huggins has submitted a letter requesting that this item be placed on the July 23rd City Council meeting for consideration. Mr. Huggins is requesting that the Planned Development be approved at 4705 Susan Lee. Mr, Huggins says he has purchased several lots adjacent to the Loop 820 frontage road which would give him a logical geographic area to conform to the Comprehensive Plan and would like to come back with a revised plan in the future.

WILSON FOR A ZONING CHANGE FROM R2 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL TO PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR THE EXPANSION OF AN AUTOMOBILE DEALERSHIP DISPLAY AREA AT 4507 SUSAN LEE LANE. DENIED Cathy Horton gave a brief summary of the case stating Mr. James Wilson has submitted an application for a planned development at 4705 Susan Lee Lane. The site will be utilized as an expanded display area for the adjacent Huggins Honda Dealership which currently has 6 developed acres of property to the west. The single-family residential structure currently on the site will be removed and the adjacent vehicle display area will be expanded in its place. Variances under this Planned Development site plan include: 1.) No landscape buffer along the northern property line, 2.) Five foot landscape setback along Susan Lee Lane frontage, and 3.) Five and a half percent of the lot to be landscaped. Prior to the agenda being delivered to the commission, staff received several letters of opposition to this request. Among those speaking in favor was Ron Huggins of Huggins Honda. He has proposed to extend landscaping beyond what the plan reflects and asked that the request by Mr. Wilson be approved. James Wilson, owner of property located at 4507 Susan Lee, has moved from this address due to the encroachment of the commercial business and the expansion of NE Loop 820. He stated that the noise and lighting are intolerable. He asked that this request be approved so that he may sell to Mr. Huggins for the expansion. Those in opposition were: John Colby residing at 5001 Mockingbird in Colleyville, Texas, and owning rental property located at 4804 Susan Lee, stated that the commercial encroachment is causing a major decline in this and other neighborhoods. He suggested closing Susan Lee from NE Loop 820. Steve Hediger of 4825 Susan Lee asked the Commission to deny the request fearing the decline of the neighborhood. Starline Autry of 4800 Susan Lee asked that the commission deny the request. He is afraid that the neighborhood is going to be "pieced-out" and that the property values will go down.

At that meeting, I requested that my residence at 4705 Susan Lee Lane be changed from a residential property to a commercial property. The property, if rezoned, would be used to expand the parking area of Huggins Honda. It was the unanimous decision of the Planning and Zoning Committee to deny rezoning of the property at this time. I would therefore like to request that this decision be appealled to the City Council. I would like to request that this letter and all applicable documentation regarding the rezoning of this property be sent to the City C01DlCil for their review.

Texas Subject: Case # PZ 2001-06 Lot 20, Block 5, Richland Terrace Addition To the members of the Planning and Zoning Commission: As a property owner who lives within 200 feet of the property for re-zoning, we wish at this time to oppose the re-zoning of that property. Four years ago. this neighborhood was told that the Planning and Zoning Committee would not allow. Mr. Huggins or anyone else. the opportunity to "piece-out" our property that is located in Richland Terrace. H you consider this request now from Mr. Wilson, who has sold his house to Mr. Huggins, isn't that what you will be doing? Since that meeting years ago, we now all have learned the future plans for this area. We have learned that Richland Terrace not only sits in the "820 Corridor" but that the city would like to develop this land into the "Business District." We, as a neighborhood are not opposed to the idea that we would eventually need to sell our homes. We recognize the growth that has occurred in our city and we also recognize that it is not in the vision of North Richland Hills to have homes next to the freeway. But, what we as property owners are opposed to. is that we will be driven out or taken advantage of, and not be able to replace what we have in today's housing market As a homeowner, in this same home for 28 years, we have seen this neighborhood change from a quiet, beautiful place to raise your family, into what it is now a noisy, undesirable place to live. As you now drive down these streets you see the decline of a neighborhood. What you can't see or know, is that we are all caring individuals who not only pay city taxes but have been discouraged about investing in our homes, You ask how can that be? Why, would anyone not keep up his or her homes? That answers lies in the minds of the people in this neighborhood whom for years have been unsure what will happen to them as homeowners. Rumors of the expansion of the 820 Highway long preceded the beginning construction in 1993. We have also been concerned that we could end up like some other homeowners in a nearby city, in which their land was also desired for re-development and some of those homeowners were pushed out. Add to this, the fact that Mr. Huggins for years has made attempts to buy some of houses in this area, indicating to us a his desire to expand There is some feeling that we could have been pieced out one at a time. Now let's add to these factors. our frusttation with our own city. We feel that the city has long forgotten us and no longer cares. The city wants us as homeowners to keep up our property but has the city failed us in its responsibility to keep up with its attempt to provide us with a well- maintained street? By not keeping up Susan Lee Lane or Nancy Lane the city has been a part in creating the appearance of a declining neighborhood. Susan Lee Lane is considered a DÚnor collector and is well used, as you know. Why has this street been neglected for years and years even though it appeared in a list of streets to be re- surfaced in 1993? Don't you think that the city should carry some of the responsibly in the decline of this neighborhood? We do! This neighborhood has endured and tolerated so much in the past from everything that has occurred with the road construction involving the building of the new 820 Highway. We are the ones who have put up with the highway construction vehicles going up and down our street day and night carrying dirt and concrete to build what you now see. We are the ones, who listen to the road noises created by over 100,000, plus cars who travel this highway each and everyday, seven days a week, 24 hours a · · · day. Unless you are one of the people who live in these houses, there is DO way you can undentand what we have been tbrongb! We have all played the board game of Monopoly and know how it is played out. The people on this committee will play a key role in determining who will win in the end. In the long run. an parties could benefit from the re-development of this area. The people, who sit on this committee injudgement, will hold the future of all the property owners in this area in their hands. We urge you to consider the long-term effects that this decision will have on our lives. We are hoping that you will make a fair and honest decision when considering this matter. May God give you the wisdom to do the right and just thing! Thank you, Mary and Starline Autrey . . .

While this Section talks about visual impacts and removal of unsafe or abandoned towers it does not address specific areas throughout the city where tower locations are encouraged or discouraged. City Council has had general discussions regarding this issue and has directed staff to proceed with a zoning ordinance revision to encourage communication towers away from residential properties and away from major thoroughfares. North Richland Hills encourages antennas to be placed on existing structures and buildings with shared locations where possible to limit the future construction of towers. We are receiving requests on a more frequent basis and would like to direct communication tower users to proper locations within our city. In an effort to direct tower requests within North Richland Hills and encourage proper locations with minimal visual impacts to the community, proposed revisions have been made. The primary changes include the following: · A new Communication Tower Buffer Zone Map that designates specific areas where requests would be considered for future towers. The map requires 300 feet separation from residential properties, 150 feet separation from arterials and commuter rail lines; and 1,500 feet from existing towers. Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)

These inquiries are primarily from vendors wanting to operate "hot dog carts" in front of businesses such as Home Depot. Currently, there are no provisions for such operations. It should be noted that these types of temporary food vendors are different from Mobile Food Vendors who are regularly permitted under Ordinance 2406. The carts that are used are not motorized and therefore do not fall under Mobile Food Vendor regulations. In addition, Mobile Food Vendors do not stay in anyone location more than 15- 20 minutes, traveling around the city from site to site through out the day. The attached proposed Ordinance will regulate and permit Temporary Food Vendors to operate in NRH as follows: >- Requires that business have a minimum of 10,000 square feet to qualify for a temporary food vendor event. We have also included a provision for contig'uous businesses to qualify. >- Stipulated that the permit is issued to the business only and not the vendor. >- Requires that the vendor be located within 10 feet of the front of the business and that the vendor may not block firelanes, parking spaces or ingress and egress of business. >- Allows a business to have up to four (4) events each month, each event to be no more than three (3) consecutive days and that the events must be at least four (4) consecutive days apart. >- Allows for no more than one vendor per event. >- Requires that the food vendor must comply with all regulations pertaining to temporary events. >- Sets the permit fee at $50.00 per event to be obtained by the business which is in accordance with the current ordinance fees for temporary event permits >- Requires the food vendor to remove the equipment at the end of each day of operations and provide approved commissary information before permit is issued. >- Requires that they may be permitted in all zoning districts except Residential districts. Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council of North Richland Hills approve Ordinance No.2561, which permits and regulates temporary food vendors located outside and in front of a business.
