Bag-A- Thon '98
Environmental Services is working with NEET (North East Environmental Team) on the
Glad Bag-A-Thon '98 program - the nations largest cleanup and recycling effort. The first
local event was held in 1990. Last year in North Richland Hills, Haltom City, Watauga
and Richland Hills more than 5,000 volunteers picked up litter and collected reusable
clothing weighing a total of more than 14,000 pounds.
This event is sponsored by First Brands Corp. Trash bags, T-shirts, gloves, advertising
materials are all provided at no charge.
This year's events include:
· Kick off project, March 28th - Litter clean up at the 100 Acre Park area
Twenty-five volunteers including Richland High School Environmental Club
students, Teen Court participants, Rotary Club members, NEET members,
Equestrian Club members and citizens picked up enough litter to half fill a
commercial dumpster. The litter included shingles, cement, tree branches, glass
and paper. This will enable the parks department to be able to mow these areas.
Clothes Collection
Six North Richland Hills schools participated in collecting reusable clothes for the
BISD Clothes Connection. The Clothes Connection provides needy students with
clothing.
.
· Cleanup, April 18th - Volunteers assigned to littered areas
On April 18th from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., volunteer groups will help to rid our
community of litter and debris. Volunteers will bring their bags of trash to Trail
Creek Park in Richland Hills. NEET will sponsor a picnic at 12:00 noon. Hot dogs,
drinks, Frisbees, door prizes and games for children will be provided.

Increase Pet Adoption Fees
The Animal Services Division of Environmental Services will be increasing the pet
adoption fee from $45.00 to $65.00. This will be the first increase in the adoption fee
since the Animal Services Center opened in January, 1987.
Ordinance #1848 does not regulate the pet adoption fee itself, rather it states that the
adoption fee shall be set to render neutral the cost of preparing the animal for adoption.
We are currently providing services to include surgically altering the animal, a micro-chip
implant as well as health screening which includes heart worm exam, internal and
external parasite treatment and appropriate vaccinations according to the age of the
animal.
The cost of providing these services has increased our cost per animal to approximately
$65.00.

The North Richland Hills Parks and Recreation Department is pleased to announce the
presentation of a very prestigious award by the National Recreation and Park Association.
Sharon Davis, Assistant Superintendent of Recreation, was chosen to receive the "Young
Professional Award" at the National Recreation and Park Association Southwest Regional
Conference on April 7, 1998.
Sharon Davis has been active in Parks and Recreation for 15 years and is a graduate of the
University of North Texas. She has served on various committees for Texas Recreation

benchmarking; implementation of a highly successful "Instructor Appreciation Week"; and
coordinated a cooperative agreement for facility and instructor sharing with Tarrant County
Junior College.
We are fortunate to have individuals who set the standards for Parks and Recreation

NRH20 Family Waterpark Receives
"Gold National Aquatic Safety Award"
NRH20 Family Waterpark contracts with Ellis and Associates to provide aquatic risk
management consulting for NRH20 Family Waterpark. Jeff Ellis and Associates currently
provides risk management consulting for 95 percent of the country's waterparks including
Walt Disney World and Wet 'n Wild. Each season, on an unannounced basis, NRH20 is
audited three times by Jeff Ellis and Associates to determine the performance levels of the
park. Park management is unaware that an audit is taking place for the majority of the
audit. The audit consists of individual evaluations and park-wide evaluations. Individual
lifeguards are tested on patient management techniques that are designed to prevent an
aquatic incident from developing into a drowning. These techniques include victim
recognition, victim recovery, CPR, oxygen administration and "Sag-Valve-Mask"
resuscitation. The park is graded on water quality, record administration, condition of
equipment and visibility of management.
.
Staff is pleased to announce that NRH20 Family Waterpark has earned the firm's
prestigious "Gold National Aquatic Safety Award" for the 1997 season. What is exciting
about this recognition is that out of 1,182 Jeff Ellis and Associates client facilities, only 30
facilities earned the "Gold National Aquatic Safety Award". This places NRH20 in the top
2.5 percent of client facilities.
Your continued support in making available the necessary resources is instrumental in
providing this high level of service to NRH20's guests. I améertain you will join me in
congratulating our NRH20 Management Team of Chris Swartz, Kelli Carter, Marcia Minnies,
Frank Perez, Dena Pierson, Roger Skaggs and our outstanding group of seasonal
employees on this significant accomplishment. We appreciate your commitment to the
success of NRH20 and look forward to another season of "exceeding expectations".

Re: 111997 Gold National Aquatic Safety Award"
Dear Mr. Swartz:
We are pleased to notify you that your lifeguard staff has been awarded our
firm's prestigious "Gold National Aquatic Safety Award" pursuant to
consistently "exceeding" our criteria for aquatic safety certification this year.
.
While I am sure that the swimmers who frequent your aquatic facilities already
recognize the professionalism exhibited by your lifeguard staff, it is important to
inform them that only thirty (30) of one thousand, one hundred and eighty two
(1,182) E&A™ aquatic facilities earned this distinction in 1997. Accordingly, they
are consistently being afforded with the highest degree of swimmer protection
currently available for the aquatic industry.
Please extend our profound congratulations to every member of your aquatic
safety staff for their commitment to "professional excellence" and desire to "make
a difference" for those who frequent your aquatic facilities.
Sincerely yours,
Mark A. ostman

PARK OPERATIONS AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
STATUS REPORT
Ms. Moos updated the Board on the following:
The Calloway Branch Trail, Little Bear Creek Trail, Phase I Bike Route Signage and
Signs and North Hills Mall Multi-Use Trail are all in design and being refined.
Staff is waiting to hear from TxDOT on the North Electric Trail. The project should be
underway in early February.
The Girl's Fast Pitch Softball Complex is proceeding slowly due to the weather. The
project should be done in the month of February.
The consultant for the 100 Acre City Park Site is refining details of the plan.
The Standard Park Signage project will be bid in late January. We did not receive any
bids in December.
Bids are scheduled to be opened on January 20 for the NRHzO Improvements. The
project should be under contract in February.
Staff is working on a contract with MESA for the Cotton belt Trail and is making revisions
to the TxDOT contract reflecting the combined projects with Colleyville and Southlake.
Carter and Burgess has been selected for the Park System Master Plan update. They
were taking on a preliminary tour of our current facilities and will begin compiling
information for the study.
Mr. Pena commented that there is property in Colleyville that has not been purchased
for the Cotton belt Trail. Staff responded that Colleyville will be responsible for that
according to the agreement.
Ms. Miller handed out an article regarding park signage near baseball fields. She
commented that RY A has had problems in the past with foul balls and broken
windshields. She was interested in possibly putting up a sign stating "Park at your own
Risk" on the Bronco Field fence.
.
.
.
Mr. Pena made a motion, seconded by Ms. Miller, to extend an invitation to the above
listed individuals to serve on the Steering Committee for the updating of the Park
System Master Plan. (Motion passed 5-0)
8.
OTHER INFORMATIONAL ITEMS
Mr. Pena wanted to know why we are updating the Park Master Plan so soon. Mr.
Browne responded that the Park System Master Plan is critically important in the Texas
Parks and Wildlife local Park Fund grants scoring system. Given the numerous
projects completed since adoption of our most recent Park System Master Plan, it is
imperative to update our local priorities to assure continued granting success.
Mr. Browne announced to the Board that Vickie loftice, Recreation Superintendent, has
accepted the position of Director of Parks and Recreation with Petersburg, Alaska. This
is a great opportunity for her and the department is real excited for this personal growth
opportunity in her career. The Board is invited to a reception will be held in her honor
on Friday, January 23, from 11 :00 - 12:00 Noon at the Richland Tennis Center
Mr. Browne also announced that the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission approved
funding in the amount of $300,000 for the development of a neighborhood park in the
Thornbridge subdivision. The grant application ranked 7th out of 50 projects. Staff is
particularly proud of this grant application because it was completely prepared by our
staff (Bill Thornton, Patty Moos and Dalan Walker) "in-house". This grant allows us to
build a much needed neighborhood park valued at $600,000, at no cost to our
taxpayers, other than our "in-house" staff costs associated with the design for the park.
This brings our total of grant funds to nearly $9,000,000.
Mr. Pena requested that a Proclamation be presented to Vickie loftice at the next City
Council meeting. Staff will arrange.

ADDITION. (LOCATED AT 5625 GALWAY LANE) TABLED 12/18/97
DENIED
Chairman Duer opened the public hearing and asked the applicant to come
forward.
Ms. Izella Gunter, daughter of the applicant, presented this request. She
explained that they have started legal proceedings against the contractor
responsible for this situation. She explained there are certain code violations as
well as the non-conformance issues left by this contractor and she doesn't have
the money to make the corrections at this time. Ms. Gunter informed the Board
that Craftmaster's registration has been revoked in the City by the building
inspections department. Ms. Gunter is a single mother and cares for her elderly
father as well and believes this contractor saw an opportunity to take advantage
of the situation. She has paid him for a major portion of this work and in her
litigation against him, she is asking for reimbursement. Ms. Gunter stated that
regardless of the outcome, she would find a way to bring her home back into
e conformance.
Chairman Duer called for additional proponents. Seeing none, he called for any
opponents. Seeing none, the public hearing was closed.

DENIED 1/15/98
APPROVED
Mr. Bill Hall presented this request. He explained that the front of the building to
the street is approximately 75'. Clearly no visibility problem would exist at that
distance. Mr. Hall additionally stated that they are willing to decrease the height
of the proposed pole sign to 16' from 25'. He believes this will be less obtrusive
slgnage.
e
Chairman Duer called for additional proponents. Seeing none, he called for any
opponents.

e
Mr. Jim Maden, 6700 Crane Road, was opposed to this request. He believes it
will lower property values and fears the Board would be setting precedence.
Seeing no additional opponents, the public hearing was closed.
Very lengthy discussion ensued regarding existing sign regulations and exactly
what part of it is being varied from, as well as what parts of the Dairy Queen
facade are actually signage, and what part are actually part of the building.
Mr. leBaron pointed out that this property falls within the Mid-Cities Overlay
Zone, where sign regulations were decreased last fall. A pole sign can not
exceed 25' in height and 100 square feet in area.
Ms. Martin believes the protruding ice cream cone is actually part of the building
and should not be considered as signage any way. She believes the applicant
has demonstrated his willingness to work with the Board by moving the building
back as he has done. She believes more cases such as this will be presented,
and this issue will have to be dealt with sometime.
Responding to a question, Mr. LeBaron stated that with the current sign
regulations and Dairy Queen's corporate logo requirements, no Dairy Queen
e could be built in the City.
Mr. Charles Mayberry, 6353 Skylark Circle, believes that the City should re-
evaluate their sign ordinance to incorporate more signs like this.
Additional, lenqthv number crunching took place trying to resolve this issue.
After much deliberation, Chairman Duer made the motion to approve BA 98-05
with the building signage as presented and, allowing a 6' maximum height and
100 square foot area monument sign.
Ms. Martin seconded the motion and it carried 4 - 1. Ms. Martin, Messrs. Duer,
Bellomy and Young were in favor of this request. Mr. Christensen was opposed

Mr. Work inquired about a joint BISD/NRH Natatorium. Mr. Browne commented that the
agreement with BISD allowed for a five year window of opportunity to initiate a study for this

recreation center. Staff is awaiting the outcome of the Arcadia Study, market analysis and
feasibility study, which is underway. BISD is currently building their third High School and
indoor swimming facilities were not included in the plans. Staff is always open to partnering
with BISD and perhaps that could happen at the next recreation center.

PLAT TO BE KNOWN AS lOT 1, BLOCK 1, GARVON ADDITION. (LOCATED
AT 8100 BEDFORD-EUlESS ROAD)
APPROVED
Mr. LeBaron explained that Charter Furniture is the future tenant for this old J.C.
Penney warehouse. Upon applying for a building permit for their renovation, it
was determined that the property had never been platted. The issues
associated with this plat are fire hydrants, curb and gutter and sidewalks, which
the applicant is requesting a waiver of.
Responding to a question, Mr. LeBaron stated that he believed the fire hydrant
issue could be resolved, internally, with the fire department.
Mr. Nehring made the motion to approve PS 98-07 subject to discussion with the
fire department on the fire hydrants issue and waiving the sidewalk requirement.
Mr. Ferguson seconded the motion and it carried 4 - O. Messrs. Nehring,

COMMERCIAL. (LOCATED IN THE 8600 BLOCK OF DAVIS BOULEVARD)
ORDINANCE NO. 2284
DENIED
Mr. leBaron explained that the applicant has purchased additional property to
the north of his and is resubmitting his mini-warehouse request with a revised
site plan.
Chairman Barfield opened the public hearing and asked the applicant to come
forward.
Mr. Dee Baron, 6801 Smithfield Road, presented this request. He explained that
with his recently acquired property, he now has 450' of frontage along Davis
Page 2 - 3/12/98
e
Boulevard and his new site plan shows a 70' buffer along the rear property line.
He stated that he has tried to address the neighbors concerns over this project.
Chairman Barfield cited several areas of concern for him which included: the
slope or drop from the adjoining property to this property, maintenance of the
green belt area, the stockade fence, drainage and the green belt not being
included in the "planned development."
Mr. Nehring also voiced concern over the fact that the green belt is not part of
the PO and stated he would prefer to see a masonry fence instead of a stockade
fence.
Mr. Baron stated that he would add the green belt area to the Planned
Development.
Mr. Walter Nelson stated that the south elevation falls about 6', the north line
doesn't fall that much, but it probably falls 4'.
e
Mr. Baron stated that there would be on site management 24 hours a day, seven
days a week. A preliminary drainage study has been performed and it flows from
the south to the north. It will be a 60" piped system and not an open channel.
Responding to a question, Mr. Baron stated that all lighting would be directed
away from the neighbors and the hours of operation are basically daylight to
dark. Mr. Baron showed pictures of the green belt buffer area as well as what
the development would look like. He explained that brick and split face block will
be used on the exterior of the warehouses and the caretaker's facility will be of
cut stone.
Chairman Barfield called for additional proponents. Seeing none, he called for
any opponents.
Mr. LeBaron read a list of 5 names and addresses of opponents from the Mayors
Action Line earlier in the day.
Mr. Matt Milano stated he was speaking on behalf of the Steeple Ridge
residents. He stated that the majority of residents he represents are opposed to
this development. He explained that they have a petition with over 300
signatures. Residents from Shady Oaks 1, Shady Oaks 2, Ember Oaks, Forest
Glenn, Steeple Ridge and Thornbridge have signed this petition. Mr. Milano
stated that the residents don't have a problem with this property being zoned
commercial, but are opposed to mini-warehouses and recreational vehicle
storage. Mr. Milano believes this project is inconsistent with the city's master
plan.
e
Additional opponents for this request were:

Francis Lynn, 8616 Shady Brooke Drive
Dan Johnson, 8628 Shady Brooke Drive
Robert Riley, 9001 Trails Edge Drive
Steven Enway, 8551 Shady Brooke Drive
Janet Dietrich, 8624 Shady Brooke Drive
Jon Bosser, 8624 Caddo Court
Kevin lucky, 8625 Caddo Court
Seeing no additional opponents, Chairman Barfield closed the public hearing,
Mr. LeBaron advised the Commission and the applicant that there were
considerable drainage issues related to this development and that any approval
by the Commission only concerned the zoning and not the engineering. Mr.
LeBaron emphasized that should detailed engineering plans negatively impact
the site plan and cause the site plan to be modified, it might require bringing the
site plan back to the Commission for amendment. Mr. LeBaron also stated that
the applicant has a previously approved zoning case on a portion of this
property, which would be forwarded to the City Council if this rezoning case were
denied. However, if this zoning case is approved it would take precedent over
the previous zoning case.
Responding to a question, Mr. Baron stated that the RV parking is an important
part of this site plan.
It was the general consensus of the Commission that the RV parking area is not
in anyone's best interest.
Mr. Ferguson made the motion to approve PZ 98-10.
The motion died for lack of a second.
Mr. Nehring made the motion to deny PZ 98-10.
Mr. Miller seconded the motion and it carried 3 - 1. Messrs. Nehring, Miller and
Ferguson were in favor of this motion. Mr. Barfield was opposed.
Mr. Baron asked the Commission if he could request the entire property be
zoned C-1. He was informed that new notifications would have to be sent out
and another public hearing conducted.

CONSIDER AMENDING THE RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCil
REGARDING THE HUD CODE MANUFACTURED HOUSING ORDINANCE.
ORDINANCE NO. 2274
APPROVED
Mr. leBaron explained that at the February 26, 1998 meeting the Commission
made a recommendation to the Council regarding the adoption of a
manufactured housing ordinance. Shortly after that meeting staff had
conversations with some representatives from the manufactured housing
industry that offered comments regarding the ordinance. They suggested that
we might be proposing forward an ordinance that might not be enforceable or
may prevent development all together; their suggestions were that we fiip the lot
width and depth issues. The ordinance, as passed February 26, had the lot
being much wider on the frontage of the street and shallower from the street.
They believed this would most likely confiict the type of developments that are
naturally occurring, which is the width of the lots would be narrower and the lots
are deeper.
It is before the Commission tonight for their consideration on the amendment of
these lot widths and depths.
The Commissioners stated that they would like to see an additional amendment
made to control skirting around these type homes.
Mr. Miller made the motion to approve PZ 97-47 with a lot width of 60' minimum
at the building line and a minimum lot depth of 90'; also that skirting shall not be
galvanized, corrugated metal or wood.

effort ¡;¡'mong loçal governments, Dallas Area
Rapid Transit, Fort Worth Transportation
Authority, Texas Department of
Transportation, Texas Turnpike Authority,
RAILTRAN, Texas N atµral Resource
Conservation Commission, and Dallas-Fort
Worth International Airport. The Plan was
approved in December 1996 by the Regional
Transportation Council and the. Executive
Board of the North .central Texas.council. of
Governments.Ci\TC'rCOG),.togetherserving as
the Metropolitan Planning Organization for
the Dallas-FortWQrthMetrOPQlitan Â1'e¡;¡..
Mobility 2020 was developed in accordance
with the planning requirements established
in the Intermodal Surface Transportation
Efficiency Act of 1991 and the Clean Air Act
Amendments of 1990. The Plan is updated
every three years. This Plan serves to replace
the Mobility 2010 Plan Update developed in
1993. Mobility 2020 is the product of a
multimodal system evaluation which
recommends a Metropolitan Transportation
System, as well as congestion mitigation
strategies designed to minimize drive-alone
peak-period travel and enhance the operation
of the Transportation System.
The development of the Plan was gµided by a
set of goals which were presented and refined
at teclmical workshops, policy briefings, and
public meetings. The Regional Transportation
Council adopted goals in three categories:
traditional transportation goals, quality of life
goals, and financial goals. Policies, programs
and projects were developed as part of
Mobility 2020 to accomplish these goals. The
Plan calls for $32.5 billion in Metropolitan
Transportation System improvements which
are included on pages 4-10 of this summary.
obility 2020 includes five policy initiatives to
address the challenge of increasing traffic
congestion in the Dallas-Fort Worth region.
These initiatives include: formulating revenue
policies and sources which support implementation of
transportation improvements in the region; identifying
travel demand management strategies to reduce peak-
period travel demand and drive-alone travel;
implementing traditional capacity improvements to
address current and future congestion; promoting an
Advanced Transportation Management program which
includes traveler information systems, freeway and
arterial traffic management strategies, and public
transportation communication strategies; and developing
strategies which ensure a balance between land use and
transportation improvements. These five policy initiatives
form the basis fi)r the Mobility 2020 recommendations.

he Mobility 2020 Plan was completed by NCTCOG staff over
an 18-month period. Prior to beginning work on the
NCTCOG staff verified the Dallas-Fort Worth Regional
Model's ability to replicate current travel in the region with
the 1995 Travel Model Validation. Efforts then focused on the
development of travel forecasts through the year 2020 which were
used to evaluate transportation options for the future, Throughout the
Plan development process, a series of technical workshops were held
with local governments and participating planning agencies to
provide technical review of travel forecasts, the evaluation of
alternatives, and plan recommendations.
Public outreach and involvement activities were critical components
in the development of Mobility 2020. This process included working
closely with NCTCOG's Surface Transportation Technical Committee,
Travel Demand Management Committee, and Bicycle and Pedestrian
Task Force. Numerous presentations were also provided to elected
officials including the Regional Transportation Council, the NCTCOG
Executive Board, County Commissioners Courts, and City Councils
throughout the region. Briefings were provided to transportation
implementation agencies including Dallas Area Rapid Transit
(DART), the Fort Worth Transportation Authority (the T), and the
Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). Thirteen public
meetings were held during the development of Mobility 2020 covering
all facets ofthe plan development process. A mailing list of over 3,500
individuals was used to notify interested citizens and businesses.
Other outreach activities included development of an internet home
page for Mobility 2020, presentations to civic and transportation
advocacy groups, and working closely with the media.

The continued dramatic growth
projected for the Dallas-Fort Worth
Area underscores the importance of
coordinated decisions regarding land
use and transportation investments.
Future policy initiatives stemming
from Mobility 2020 are anticipated to
focus on opportunities to achieve a
balance between land use and
transportation. Lower-cost
transportation alternatives such as
service roads, or freeway
interchanges, which provide access to
previously undeveloped areas, are
examples of strategies which may be
emphasized to achieve this balance.
The recommendations of Mobility
2020 are based on the need to provide
a balanced, multimodal Metropolitan
Transportation System which will
meet the needs of this diverse rapidly
growing economic region.

ncreasing traffic congestion is
one of the greatest challenges
facing the Dallas-Fort Worth
Metropolitan Area. It results in
motorist frustration, lost productivity,
and a deterioration of air quality.
Better management of the
transportation system will help the
region to address these growing
problems as limited transportation
resources struggle to meet rising
travel demands. Two types of
congestion mitigation strategies are
proposed - Transportation System
Management and Travel Demand
Management. The Transportation
System Management (TSM) approach
to congestion mitigation seeks to
identify improvements to new and
existing facilities of an operational
nature, These techniques are designed
to improve traffic flow through better
management of existing facilities, The
Travel Demand Management (TDM)
approach to congestion mitigation
focuses on user demand and behavior
modification strategies to reduce
drive-alone and peak-period travel.
A range of strategies were assessed
for their effectiveness and feasibility
of implementation in the region.
Congestion benefits, air quality
benefits, and benefit-cost ratios of
these techniques were quantified in
order to arrive at a recommended set
of strategies for the region.
Adopted TSM strategies include
intersection and signalization
improvements on arterial streets and
a bottleneck removal program to
alleviate traffic congestion on the
freeway system. An Advanced
Transportation Management System
will enhance the operation of
roadways and transit systems. A
special events management program
will aid travel before, during, and
after major sporting events, festivals,
and other special events.
4
Adopted TDM strategies include the
continuation of the regional employee
trip reduction program. This
voluntary public/private program
helps to encourage carpooling,
vanpooling and transit usage by
offering incentives to the employees of
the region's large employers. The
program is supported by the
expansion of the region's vanpool
program, construction of additional
park-n-ride lots throughout the
region, and the implementation of
additional Transportation
Management Associations,
Transportation Management
Associations (TMAs) are typically
incorporated, nonprofit organizations
designed to work with private
industry and the business community
on local transportation issues. These
associations are usually located in
areas of dense employment and focus
on the implementation of travel
demand reduction strategies such as
carpooling, vanpooling, and discount
transit pass subsidies.
The implementation of congestio
mitigation strategies provides several
benefits. The reduction of vehicle
travel will mean less traffic
congestion on our roadways resulting
in reduced travel times, lower vehicle
emissions, and improved air quality.
Enhanced accessibility, fewer traffic
accidents, and greater transportation
system reliability will also be
achieved through the use of these
relatively low-cost strategies.
The recommended congestion
mitigation strategies are summarized
in the table below. Capital costs are
estimated to be $1.1 billion, while
operating costs are projected to be
$36 million per year at full program
implementation. This total includes
an Advanced Transportation
Management System, described in the
following section. The congestion
mitigation strategies identified here
include those transportation
management and travel demand
reduction strategies determined to ue
the most cost-effective for our region.

hile much of the region's
traffic congestion is a result
of traffic demand exceeding
available roadway supply, it
is estimated that over 50 percent of all
motorist delay on the freeway system
is due to traffic incidents such as
roadway debris, accidents, or stalled
vehicles. Advanced Transportation
Management strategies will
significantly reduce this delay.
The cost of the Advanced
Transportation Management System
is projected to be $266 million.
Operating costs are projected to be
$27 million per year at full system
implementation. Benefits include a
reduction in recurrent and non-
recurrent traffic congestion, fuel
savings and air pollution reductions,
safer transportation systems, and a
reduction in maintenance costs,

provide real-time information to
system operators, emergency response
personnel, and commuters regarding
traffic conditions in order to facilitate
less congested travel.
2, An Advanced Traffic
Management System (ATMS) will
rely on new and evolving technologies
to detect incidents and expedite
emergency response. Included in this
system are the Mobility Assistance
Patrols to assist motorists with
incidents and accidents. City and
Transit Transportation Management
Centers will also be integrated into
the ATIS. The transportation
management centers will support
traffic management and major
incident response and clearance.
3, An Advanced Public
Transportation System (APTS)
includes Transit Management
Centers which will serve as
communication hubs for Dallas Area
Rapid Transit and the Fort Worth
Transportation Authority. These
systems will be integrated with State
and local government centers
providing better regionwide service
and increased user safety.
Three additional systems including an
Advanced Rural Transportation
System, a Commercial Vehicle
Operations System, and an Advanced
Vehicle Safety System are
recommended, These systems are still
in the concept development stage. As
these programs develop on the
national level, in both the public and
private sectors, they will be integrated
into this overall Advanced
Transportation Management System,
5
icycle, pedestrian, and
transportation
enhancements are included
in Mobility 2020 as strategies
to further reduce the region's
dependency on automobile travel.
Bicycle and pedestrian facilities are
proposed to be developed to mostly
serve commuter trips of less than 5
miles in length, particularly in high
density areas and along congested
travel corridors. Developed in
conjunction with NCTCOG's Bicycle
¡;tnd Pedestrian Task Force, the Plan
calls for $233 million of funding to
support four categories of bicycle and
pedestrian facilities. The first of these
strategies is an on-street bicycle
access program.

funded through the Transportation Enhancement
and the Congestion Mitigation Air Quality Programs.

The principal component of this
program is the widening of outside
lanes on arterial streets to create a
safer environment for bicycle
commuting. The second
recommendation is the development
of a companion off-street system
referred to as the Regional Veloweb.
The Veloweb will be an interconnected
system of paved routes with signing
and grade separated crossings to
facilitate bicycle commuter travel.
The development of Bicycle
Transportation Districts is the third
category of bicycle improvements in
the Plan. Bicycle Districts are being
recommended to develop a system of
improvements which will promote
bicycle commuting as a more viable
mode of travel.
These concentrated areas of
investment may include signed on-
and-off street routes, bicycle parking
at storefronts and businesses, bicycle
storage facilities, lockers, and various
other amenities for commuters.
Finally, the Plan calls for greater
emphasis to be placed on the planning
of pedestrian facilities across the
region serving major activity and
transit centers as additional light rail,
commuter rail, and high occupancy
vehicle lanes begin operation.
Transportation enhancement projects
previously funded in the Dallas-Fort
Worth Area are inventoried in the
Mobility Plan. Future enhancement
projects will be added to the Plan
upon selection by the Texas
Transportation Commission.

major component of Mobility 2020 is the
continued expansion of passenger rail service.
The Plan calls for the implementation of 46
miles of light rail service beyond the 20 mile
DART starter system, and an additional 135 miles of rail
service contingent upon opportunities for system
expansion. Special event rail service and the expansion of
the people mover system in the Las Colinas Urban Center
are also identified, The total rail investment identified in
the Plan is $2.9 billion to be constructed in conjunction
with Dallas Area Rapid Transit, RAILTRAN, the Fort
Worth Transportation Authority, and local governments.
Key to the Mobility 2020 rail system recommendations is
the call for additional study to determine the engineering
ibility, environmental implications, and funding
lirements to implement the Plan recommendations. To
help serve 377,000 daily transit trips, Mobility 2020
recommends continued local bus service, expanded feeder
bus service to the rail system, and additional express
buses serving new park-and-ride lots and HOV lanes.

(HOV) lanes are a key
component of Mobility 2020.
The Plan identifies 249
miles of permanent HOV lanes for
express buses, vanpools, and carpools
at an estimated capital cost of $1.2
billion. By providing a travel time
advantage to users, HOV lanes will
attract commuters normally traveling
by themselves to rideshare or ride
express buses, thereby increasing
both the average occupancy of vehicles
using the system and the system's
overall carrying capacity.

The majority of HOV facilities are

as Interstate 635 (LBJ) and Interstate
35E (Stemmons), demand is sufficient
to warrant two-way HOV lanes.
In addition to dedicated HOV lanes,
the Plan also identifies future
corridors likely to be built as toll
roads where HOV lanes are also
needed. In these corridors, HOV users
will be integrated into the design and
operation of toll lanes through
variable pricing programs which will
allow HOV users to travel on toll
roads free or at discounted rates.

he regional freeway system is
a major component of
Mobility 2020. The Plan
addresses the challenge of
building and maintaining this system
with rapidly growing travel demand
and limited financial resources. Key
to financing these improvements is
implementation of additional toll
roads. Over $2.5 billion of the needed
$7.8 billion freeway improvements are
earmarked for toll road construction
1ing further feasibility study.
Several categories of freeway system
improvements are shown. Improve
Existing Freeways includes the
widening of existing facilities by an
additional two or more lanes. New
Staged Freeways are those
corridors warranting new freeway
lanes by the year 2020. New Toll
Roads are those corridors where
travel forecasts and toll revenue
estimates support the feasibility of
construction by the year 2020, New
Staged Freewaystroll Roads!
Parkways are future corridors where
main lanes are not warranted prior to
the year 2020. However, staged
construction of service roads and
interchanges should take place prior
to that time. This category of
improvements includes parkway-type
facilities in many of the outlying
areas. The final category of
improvements is Preservation of
Right-of-Way. Travel forecasts in
these corridors do not support the
need for construction of these
facilities prior to the year 2020.
However, in order for these roadways
to be built, right-of-way should be
preserved today by local governments.
The Mobility 2020 Plan calls for the
construction of 1,387 lane miles of
new freeways, 506 toll road lane
miles, and 771 lane miles of staged
construction facilities to address
future travel demand.

critical component of the
Metropolitan Transportation
System is the network of
regional arterials and local
government thoroughfares. Mobility
2020 includes 1,680 center line miles
of regional arterials which serve as
both connections to major freeway
corridors and relievers to many
congested freeways. This $1.2 billion
system of regional arterials will carry
20 percent of the region's daily vehicle
miles oftravel by the year 2020.
This regional arterial system is based
primarily on efforts completed in 1994
to develop the NCTCOG Regional
Thoroughfare Plan.

Included in this system are those
facilities classified as principal
arterials in the 1992 ISTEA roadway
functional classification initiative, as
well as those arterials submitted to
the U.S. Congress as part of the
National Highway System. Additional
arterials were added based upon
maintaining system continuity and
local government thoroughfare plans.
A goal of this ongoing thoroughfare
planning process is to establish future
project selection criteria which will
focus State and federal roadway funds
on arterials of regional significance
and contained within the
Metropolitan Transportation System.
In addition to this system of regi
arterials, the Plan also includes
funding for $2.2 billion of local
thoroughfares. These projects are
anticipated to be constructed over the
next 24 years primarily through city
and county bond programs, and are
critical to maintaining mobility
throughout the region. Principal,
minor, and collector arterials serve to
link freeways, toll roads, HOV lanes,
and rail lines to major commercial
activity centers, communities, and
neighborhoods, Construction of these
facilities needs to be coordinated with
on-going congestion mitigation
strategies including intersection and
signalization improvements.

ransportation system performance
information was generated throughout the
Mobility 2020 process. This information was
provided to staff, elected officials, and the
public in order to establish baseline conditions and to
serve as a tool in guiding the development of
transportation system alternatives.
In 1995, daily network vehicle miles of travel
exceeded 102 million miles per day in the region.
Over 30 percent of the roadways were congested
during the peak hour, resulting in an annual cost of
$2.8 billion in congestion delay to motorists. To serve
as a means of comparison, and as a tool to illustrate
the potential impacts of future growth, a year 2020
No-Build travel forecast was generated. This process
simulated year 2020 travel on the 1995
transportation system. The No-Build scenario cost of
congestion increases to $9.9 billion with over 66
percent of the roadways congested during the peak
hour. Severe congestion levels greatly increase to
include large portions of Collin, Dallas, Denton, and
Tarrant Counties, and moderate congestion levels
consume nearly the entire region, While the No-
alternatives is not an expected outcome, the
'ts of this analysis illustrate the potential
impacts of future growth on mobility.
Implementation of Mobility 2020 significantly
reduces the amount of congestion when compared to
the No-Build scenario. However, with daily network
vehicle miles of travel estimated to exceed 180
million miles per day by the year 2020, the system
will be forced to accommodate substantial growth in
travel demand over the next 24 years. With Mobility
2020 in place, approximately 43 percent of the
region's roadways will experience peak-hour
congestion with an associated cost of $5,5 billion
annually. Similar to 1995 conditions, the northern
portions of Dallas County and southern portions of
Collin and Denton Counties will continue to
experience severe congestion. Moderate congestion
levels are projected to increase in Collin, Dallas,
Denton, Johnson, and Tarrant Counties.
Reducing congestion and its related impacts on air
quality, energy, safety, and the quality oflife are
primary goals of Mobility 2020. However, due to
financial constraints, additional capital expenditures
are not feasible without additional revenue, In order
,duce these congestion levels, additional revenue
.tegies must be pursued as well as further
implementation of aggressive congestion mitigation
strategies aimed at reducing travel demand.

n accordance with the
requirements of the Intermodal
Surface Transportation
Efficiency Act, Mobility 2020
must be constrained to estimates of
available financial resources. If the
Plan assumes additional revenue to
be available beyond current levels,
the Plan must also include strategies
by which this revenue will be
generated. The cost of Mobility 2020
is estimated at $32.5 billion over the
24-year implementation period. Forty
two percent of the Plan's financial
resources are directed towards
operation and maintenance of the
system. Capital expenditures of $18.9
billion are allocated across the
various Metropolitan Transportation
System components based on need
and eligible funding programs.
As part of the development of
Mobility 2020, an in-depth analysis of
the historical and current
transportation funding was carried
out including investigation of the
sources of funds, funding formulas,
and the administrative processes that
result in taxes and fees being
collected and expended for specific
transportation improvements.
The primary sources of revenue for
transportation maintenance,
operations, and capital improvements
include: federal and state motor fuel
taxes, state vehicle registration fees,
dedicated transportation authority
sales taxes, toll road revenue, and
local government bond programs.
This analysis revealed that if the
rates associated with these revenues
remain at their current levels, or
status quo, there will not be sufficient
funding to construct this Plan. This is
particularly critical in the area of
freeway and thoroughfare
construction, as the primary source of
revenue for these improvements is
motor fuel taxes. This revenue
continues to be eroded by the
diversion of funds to
nontransportation purposes.

The impacts of inflation, and
improved vehicle fuel efficiency
resulting in less available revenue per
mile driven by commuters also reduce
this revenue. At risk is an estimated
$6.7 billion of needed funds to
construct this Plan if status quo
conditions remain.
In order for there to be sufficient
funding to implement this Plan,
future increases will be needed at a
rate equal to that of the projected
growth rate in inflation. Construe
of additional toll roads is also a
critical aspect in the funding of
Mobility 2020.
Dedicated DART and FWTA local
sales tax revenue combined with
federal formula and discretionary
funding, and passenger fares are used
to build and operate public
transportation systems. The transit
agencies prepare operating and
financial plans to ensure continued
system operation and expansion,
These plans which assume continued
growth in transit ridership, transit
fares, and sales tax revenue, were
integrated into this
effort. With regard to
motor fuel taxes and
vehicle registration fees,
an analysis of these
revenues reveals that
periodic increases have
historically taken place.
As part of the Plan development
process, the Regional Transportation
Council and the NCTCOG Executive
Board adopted policy positions which
address specific strategies to increase
transportation revenue. Because
implementation is contingent upon
the need for additional revenue, the
RTC will continue to monitor State
and federal legislative initiatives to
ensure that funding is available to
implement Mobility 2020.

he transportation strategies
included in Mobility 2020
must be subjected to an
intensive air quality
conformity review due to the ozone
non attainment status of the region.
Conformity is the mechanism in the
Clean Air Act (CAA) that requires the
region's Metropolitan Transportation
Plan to be consistent with State and
local air quality objectives to meet
federal clean air standards as
identified in the State
Implementation Plan (SIP). To meet
the requirements of the CAA and SIP,
the Plan must be consistent with an
established emission budget,
contribute to mobile source emission
reductions, and provide for the timely
implementation of transportation
control measures.
Co
Mobility 2020: T
The results of the air quality
conformity analysis conducted on
Mobility 2020 indicate that the Plan
is consistent with the volatile organic
compound (VOC) emission budget in
the SIP and contribute to emission
reductions when comparing 2020
action versus 1990 emissions.
While the Plan meets these
conformity requirements, continued
emphasis must be placed on the
implementation of Transportation
Control Measures (TCMs), TCMs are
projects specifically designed to
reduce this region's congestion and
improve air quality. Typical projects
include intersection and signal
improvements, advanced
transportation management,
HOV/express lanes, and travel
demand reduction strategies, all of
which are components of the Plan and
inventoried in the Transportation
Improvement Program (TIP).
In order that the Dallas-Fort Worth
Metropolitan Area continues to thrive
economically, efforts must remain
focused on our commitments to
implement transportation
improvements with positive air
quality benefits. Failure to do so will
jeopardize both our environment and
our ability to receive additional
federal transportation system funds

The Fourth Annual Presentation
from the Dallas - Fort Worth Metropolitan Area
Texas Transportation Commission
March 30, 1998
Traffic congestion in the Dallas-Fort Worth
Metropolitan Area is growing, While great
strides are being made towards the
construction of transportation system
improvements, growth in traffic congestion is
outpacing available funding to address the
problem. No one mode of travel, and no single
jurisdiction or funding agency alone can meet
all of the region's travel needs or solve this
dilemma, Strong leadership, collaboration and
partnerships between the federal, state and
local governments, roadway and transit
agencies, and the private sector will be
required to meet the region's mobility needs.
On March 30, 1998, a delegation of State
legislators, local elected officials, business and
CIVIC leaders from North Central Texas
gathered in Austin to reaffirm the priority the
Dallas-Fort Worth Area places on maintaining
mobility. The Dallas-Fort Worth Area Partners
In Mobility will continue to work with the

The Dallas-Fort Worth Economy
"Unprecedented" is the term being used
for the economic growth trend occurring
in the Dallas-Fort Worth Area. Since
January 1, 1995, over 300,000 people
and 250,000 new jobs have been added
to the region. During this same time
period, the unemployment rate fell
below 4 percent and new home
construction reached a 10 year high. A
review of economic indicators shows
that the area continues to be both a
statewide and national leader in the
creation of new jobs, corporate
relocations, and business expansions.
As a driving force behind growth in the
state and national economy, every effort
must be made to provide the funding for
the implementation of transportation
improvements needed to preserve the
mobility of the Dallas-Fort Worth Area.

North Texas Toll Road Initiatives
Thll roads have a long-standing tradition III
North Texas. This initiative began with the
Dallas-Fort Worth Turnpike and continues with
the remarkable performance of the Dallas
North Tollway. The Addison Airport Tunnel
and the President George Bush Turnpike are
new toll projects under construction, planning is
now underway on other toll projects. Given
constraints on traditional highway funding, the
use of toll roads to construct additional system
capacity is anticipated. Creation of the North
Texas Tollway Authority in September 1997 will
enhance toll road development, However,
continued support for tollways will be

public's acceptance of toll roads reflects a
desire to accelerate capacity improvements

implementation. Public acceptance would erode
if there was a perception that Dallas-Fort Worth

funding invested in North Texas,
Regional Transportation Funding Initiatives
Thll roads represent only one of several
ongoing initiatives in the Dallas-Fort
Worth Area to raise local revenues for
transportation improvements. Sales
taxes are being collected to implement new
rail systems, high occupancy vehicle lanes,
expanded bus service, and ride sharing
programs, When combined with local
government bond programs to construct
transportation capital improvements,
these funds account for over 55 percent of
the region's annual transportation
expenditures. Local funds are critical in
providing the matching funds needed
to maXImIze State and federal
transportation dollars.

NAFTA corridor coalitions and others to develop an informed constituency in support of
adequate funding to maintain and expand the Texas transportation system, Current
efforts are focused on Washington, D.C. to ensure that we achieve increased federal

return to Texas.
Dallas-Fort Worth Mobility Funding Needs
The Partners In Mobility are also active in the Dallas-Fort Worth Area presenting the
need for increased transportation funding to chambers of commerce, civic organizations,
transportation interest groups, and local elected officials. The presentation documents
the dramatic economic growth of the area over the last two decades, the resultant
increase in travel demand and growing congestion levels, and the importance of

PARTNERS IN MOBUJTY
Progress Toward Funding Needed Roadway Improvements
The Dallas-Fort Worth Area Partners In
Mobility coalition has appeared before the
Commission annually since 1995, each time
presenting a list of backlogged mobility
projects, with a request that as many as
possible be advanced to Priority One status in
the Unified Transportation Program, These are
needed capacity projects which would be ready
for letting to contract within the next one to
five years if additional construction funding
was available. Some are needed in order to
complete a missing link or final segment of a
larger project. Others are in critical locations
which serve to relieve major roadway
bottlenecks. Over the last three years, the
Commission has moved $574 million of these
previously backlogged projects into Priority
One status, thereby providing tremendous
mobility benefits to the region.

Adopt a policy which provides incentives for regions to expedite cost effective projects by
leveraging local, State, toll road, and private funding. This initiative would expand our regional
partnership opportunities with TxDOT. Call upon Dallas/Fort Worth and Houston to assist in the
development of this policy.
Look at specifically identified North Texas tollway projects during consideration of near term
investment decisions - they are excellent leverage opportunities with attractive returns.
Continue and expand the collaboration between the Dallas-Fort Worth Area Partners In

Date:
April 3, 1998
Subject:
Environmental Protection Agency's
Phase II Storm Water Permitting Program
On January 9, 1998 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released "Phase"
Storm Water Regulations." These regulations, if adopted as proposed, could subject
more than 230 Texas cities to onerous NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System) permit requirements for their municipal storm water discharges.
These regulations will cost cities considerable money to achieve and maintain. The
review period for these draft regulations is 90 days and will end April 9, 1998.
How did we qet here?
Prior to 1990, the EPA concentrated on the "traditional" point sources such as
wastewater plant and industry discharges. Since they had required these discharges to
be cleaned up and had them under strict requirements, their attention shifted to non-
point source pollution by storm water runoff from cities over 100,000 population in 1990.
This included the following metroplex cities:
·
- Fort Worth
-Dallas
-Piano
-Mesquite
-Arlington
-Garland
-Irving
Now that these cities with populations over 100,000 are finishing their requirements for
being given a storm water permit, the EPA has shifted its emphasis in storm water
permitting to cities between 10,000 to 100,000 population.
What are the main requirements of the Storm Water Permit?
Under EPA's proposed draft rules, affected cities would be required to comply with a
permit containing at least the following minimum control measures.
Construction Site Storm Water Runoff Control - Cities must adopt ordinances to
regulate storm water discharges from construction sites with more than an acre of
land disturbance. Effectively, this requirement will force a city to implement and
enforce EPA's storm water permit program and would make the city liable if it failed
to enforce EPA's program to EPA's satisfaction.
·
Post-Construction Storm Water Management in New Development and
Redevelopment - Cities must develop, implement, and enforce a program to
address storm water runoff from new development and redevelopment projects.
This program must "attempt to maintain predevelopment runoff conditions" and must
limit growth, protect sensitive areas, minimize impervious cover, and maintain open
space.
.. ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS
·
·
·
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination - Cities must develop a storm sewer
systems map, pass an ordinance prohibiting illicit discharges, and implement an
inspection program to detect illicit discharges.
Public Education and Outreach on Storm Water Impacts - Cities must distribute
education materials to the "community" about the impacts of storm water discharges
and the steps that can be taken to reduce storm water pollution.
Public Involvement/Participation - Cities must comply with "state and local public
notice requirements."
Pol\ution Prevention/Good Housekeeping - Cities must reduce pollutant runoff
from municipal operations.
In addition to requiring Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) permits from
small cities, EPA's proposal will require permits for industrial facilities owned by a city
with a population less than 100,000, facilities that were previously exempted from
Phase I storm water regulations. These sources include wastewater treatment plants,
vehicle maintenance facilities, landfills, and construction sites. The expansion of the
permitting program to these "industrial" sources should not present an insurmountable
burden to most cities. EPA has promulgated general permits from these sources, and
the larger cities have been complying with those permits since 1993. Also, EPA is
proposing a "no exposure" certification process, which will further limit the burden of
complying with EPA's industrial storm water permits.
Who does it effect?
As stated previously, it will probably effect more than 230 Texas cities. Specifically, it
will effect many cities in the metroplex area. Attached is a map and list of these cities.
A few of the neighboring cities to North Richland Hills which will be required to get
permits along with us are:
-Bedford
-Euless
-Hurst
-Haltom City
-Colleyville
-Grapevine
-Watauga
-Keller
What can we do to impact the EPA's proposal?
It is very important that cities comment on EPA's proposal. The proposal suffers from at
least the following problems:
The proposal violates the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution
because it compels cities to adopt ordinances and otherwise implement a federal
·
·
·
program, which will force the cities to bear any economic shortfalls and political
backlash caused by the program.
The proposal is an unfunded mandate. No federal funds are being made available
for this program.
· The proposal could lead to EPA fines against cities for failing to enforce EPA's
mandated programs against private construction sites, although EPA is also required
to enforce these programs.
The proposal lacks sufficient scientific/technical justification. EPA does not know
whether storm water runoff from smaller cities causes significant water pollution.
EPA merely assumes that it does.
The proposal puts far too much burden on cities, as opposed to industry or
agriculture, to fix water pollution.
If the City has any problems or concerns with EPA's proposal, now is the time to raise
them. Once EPA adopts a final rule, the rule will be federal law and only those cities
that filed comments will be able to legally challenge the rule. EPA is taking comments
on its proposal until April 9, 1998, and has already held a hearing on its proposal in
Dallas on March 4, 1998. TML is aware of several groups forming to prepare comments
on EPA's proposed rule. One group is being formed by the law firm of Mathews &
Freeland and the engineering firm of Alan Plummer and Associates. This group is very
familiar with EPA's storm water program and helped many TML member cities comply
with Phase I of the program.
The Deputy City Manager has signed the "Participation Agreement" which obligates the
City to pay up to a maximum of 10 cents per capita for membership in the "Texas Cities
Coalition on Storm Water". The Coalition has already filed comments at the EPA Dallas
public hearing on March 4, 1998. Matthews & Freeland, with direction from the
Coalition Steering Committee, will submit final written Coalition comments to the EPA by
the April 9th deadline. The City's membership will allow North Richland Hills to continue
discussions and dialogue with the TNRCC concerning the Phase" Storm Water
permitting in an attempt to have the EPA modify their proposed rules to be more fair and
equitable.
Staff will keep you apprised of the situation as it progresses.

INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL

, !
Date: April 13, 1998
Subject: Proposal of Council Ethics Committee
The Council Ethics Committee, appointed by Mayor Brown, included Frank Metts (Chairman),
Bryon Sibbet and Don Phifer. The Ethics Committee gathered ethics policies from other
cities, as well as State law and City Charter related to code of conduct by elected and
appointed officials. After considerable review and evaluation, the Ethics Committee
recommends that the current Council Rules be amended to incorporate a provision indicating
that Council members shall follow all Federal and State laws and regulations and City
Charter. The amendment further provides the section of the City Charter related to ethics
as an attachment to the Rules of Procedure and also attaches Chapter 171 of the State
local Government Code related to conflicts of interest. These were added for ease in
locating for Council members reviewing of these two provisions.
Councilman Metts will be presenting the Ethics Committees' recommendation at Pre-Council,
with the plan to take it for formal consideration at the April 27, 1998 Council Meeting.
Respectfully submitted,

INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
No. IR 98-52
-*-- Date: April 13, 1998
~ Subject: Review of Accessory Building Height and Size Regulations
I
Staff has received a number of citizen complaints about accessory structures that appear to
be too large for a residential setting. While in most cases the structures in question proved to
be in compliance with NRH zoning regulations, the concern raised by citizens about the
appropriate size and bulk of accessory buildings is worthy of consideration and review. Staff
is recommending a review of accessory building regulations by the Planning and Zoning
Commission with consideration being given to reduce the overall height and size allowed for
these types of structures in residential areas. Any amendment recommendation by the
Planning and Zoning Commission will require public hearing and approval by the City
Council.
The majority of citizen complaints about accessory building occur when the structures appear
to be too tall. However, complaints are otten received about accessory buildings that seem
either too large or too close to a property line and present a visual nuisance within a
neighborhood. Regulations allow accessory buildings up to 15 feet in height in residential
neighborhoods. Permanent type buildings must be six feet from a side property line and ten
feet from a rear property line. Temporary type buildings can be three feet from a side or rear
property line.
The fifteen foot height limit was established in 1991 to allow the placement of accessory
buildings with gambrel shaped roofs, similar to New England styled barns, without the need
for seeking a height variance from the board of adjustment. Unfortunately, a fifteen-foot high
accessory building can virtually be a two-story structure and be quite imposing on an
adjacent neighbor when placed three feet from a property line. Sorting out the various types
of accessory buildings is not easy, though, when considering the different functions that
accessory buildings perform. For example, when detached garages became popular in the
newer subdivisions in the early 90's, the 15' height limitation was a hindrance for a
homebuilder trying to match the roof pitch on the main house structure. Several
homebuilders sought height variances to build detached garages. Any amendment to the
regulations will need to take these factors into account.
Attached are a few photographs of large accessory buildings that have generated telephone
calls in the past from concerned neighbors. Some of these have received variances from the
ZBA to encroach building setback lines or exceed height limitations.
Staff recommends a review of the accessory building regulations by the Planning and Zoning
Commission.

Subject: Background Investigations Regarding Youth Sports Associations
Using City Facilities
The City of North Richland Hills has working agreements with youth sports groups that use
City facilities outlining the types of usage, insurance needed, hours of operation, user's
obligation, the City's responsibility, and conduct guidelines. Currently all youth sports user
groups have some type of provision for conducting background checks on individuals
working in their program. These provisions are included in their rules or bylaws or are
regulated by the sports governing/sanctioning organization. Such background checks are
not a part of our agreement with the sports groups.
With so much attention being given recently to improper adult behavior involving youth,
Councilman Metts asked that an item be placed on Pre-Council to discuss youth
organizations' responsibilities. He suggests that we discuss the possibility of including some
type of requirement in the agreements with our youth sports associations that use City
facilities requiring background checks be made on those individuals working with our youth.
If this is something that Council wishes to pursue, it might be advisable to refer this to the
Parks and Recreation Board to further evaluate and develop a recommendation.
Respectfully submitted,

Council Meeting Date:

Subject Public Hearing to Consider Amending the Masonry Requireme~nda Number: PZ 98-12
In the 11 Light Industrial, 12 Medium Industrial and U Institutional
Districts, and Revising the Notation in the Remaining Portion of
Article 6. Ordinance No. 2284
At a prior Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, staff was directed to amend the masonry
requirements in the industrial and institutional zoning districts. Currently, the 11, 12 and U districts are
exempt from the 75% masonry requirement imposed in all other business-related districts. The
proposed revision will require all structures in all business related zoning districts be constructed of
75% masonry. If a developer proposes to deviate from this percentage requirement or use some
other non-masonry product on the exterior, then a Special Use Permit is required with site plan
approval. This approach will allow greater control over the masonry requirement in those areas
where masonry construction is appropriate and allows a developer a process for seeking alternate
types of construction.
Attached are two copies of Article 6 from the zoning regulations. The first copy represents Article 6
showing all deleted language with 'strikethrough' and new language in 'bold-italics-underlined'. The
second copy shows Article 6 with all the strikethrough words deleted and represents the final version
of the portion of the zoning ordinance if approved as presented.
.he second part of this proposed ordinance is to establish proper "notation" in the remaining portion
of Article 6. Currently, Article 6 is divided into paragraphs ranging from "A" to "T" and this type of
paragraph notation is confusing and difficult to amend. The revised version puts the balance of
Article 6 into the same notation format used elsewhere in the zoning regulations.
The Planning & Zoning Commission considered this item at its March 26, 1998 meeting and
recommended approval for the amendments as presented in the 11, 12 and U zonIng districts,
removing the phrase "materials of equal characteristics" from Section 605 (b) , and to exclude
portable temporary classrooms in the U Institutional zoning districts.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council hold the required public hearing and consider the
recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Commission.

PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AMENDING THE MASONRY
REQUIREMENTS IN THE 11 LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, 12 MEDIUM INDUSTRIAL
AND U INSTITUTIONAL DISTRICTS, AND REVISING THE NOTATION IN THE
REMAINING PORTION OF ARTICLE 6. ORDINANCE NO. 2258
APPROVED
Mr. LeBaron stated that over the past several months much discussion has taken
place regarding the masonry requirements and whether they should be
applicable to all zoning districts and not just some of them. Staff has drafted this
regulation, incorporating ideas that have been presented in past workshops.
The 75% masonry/brick requirement would be applicable to all non-residential
zoning districts. Additionally, the ordinance was drafted in such a way that if
someone wanted to deviate from the 75% requirement, site plan approval would
be required from the Planning & Zoning Commission as well as the City Council.
Additionally, the wording and outline form in the remainder of the ordinance was
confusing and had gotten difficult to amend and explain. The wording has been
rearranged, without changing any of the regulations, to give it proper outline
notations.
Mr. leBaron stated that a representative from the Dry-vit industry is present to
give a brief presentation of alternate type stucco materials that staff often has to
deal with.
e
Mr. Doug Johnson distributed a sample of the EIFS System synthetic finish that
is on the market today. He explained that this product has been on the market in
the United States for about 20 years, but in Europe for 50 years. He stated that
this product holds up very well and is becoming more popular.
Page 4 - 3/26/98
-
The Dry-vit is the only system that has a 20-ounce mesh, so it is extremely
sturdy and also acts as insulation, which decreases utilities. He stated that
Hudiburg Chevrolet is a current customer, they are using this material on their
new facility currently under construction. This material has a 3 - 4 year
warranty; stucco only carries a one-year warranty.
Responding to a question, Mr. Johnson stated that he would be glad to come
back and make a full presentation should the Commissioners change their
regulations.
Chairman Barfield opened the public hearing and called for any proponents.
Seeing none, he called for any opponents. Seeing none the public hearing was
closed.
Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Wood, moved to approve PZ 98-12 amending the
masonry requirement in the 11, 12 and U districts.
Mr. Davis stated that he is not in favor of amending the types of materials
allowed - he wants brick or stone - only.
e
Mr. LeBaron stated that he wanted to draw the Commission's attention to page 3
of the proposed ordinance, Section 605 (b), which has always stated that
"masonry construction shall consist of any combination of brick, tile, stone,
concrete block, or precast or reinforced concrete materials or materials of equal
characteristics. This requirement shall apply to all wall sections on all floors
above the finish floor level of the foundation." He stated this is where the
question comes into play and if the Commission is uncomfortable with that, then
the language may need to be changed.
Mr. Davis stated that he would amend his motion to include the removal of the
words "materials of equal characteristics" from this paragraph now and the
definition can be amended later.
Mr. Wood asked how this would affect the portable buildings at schools, since
they are in the U Institutional zoning districts.
Mr. LeBaron stated that when looking at the table in the proposed ordinance,
omissions have been identified and portable classrooms fall into this category.
The Commissioners determined they would continue to "overlook" these portable
classrooms until they become a problem.

Subject: Request of Greg Clifton for a Short Form Final Plat to be
Known As Lot 1, Block 1, Clifton Addition. (Located at 8912
Amundson Drive.)
Council Meeting Date:
4/13/98
Agenda Number:
PS 98-03
Mr. Clifton is seeking to plat a previously unplatted 2.35 acre tract of land in order to expand on and
significantly improve an existing single family home. The issues associated with this Short Form
Final Plat are as follows:
1. Grading Plan & Drainage Analysis: Grading plans and a drainage analysis are generally
required on all plats. However, in this instance, the property owner will not be significantly altering
drainage or grading on the lot. The Public Works Department is not opposed to the owner
providing a written "Hold Harmless Agreement" with the City. The applicant has been advised of
this and has agreed to provide this document.
2. Sanitary Sewer: A six inch (6") sanitary sewer main is required to be constructed across the
frontage of the property adjacent to Walter Street. The Director of Public Works has provided the
applicant with a quote for construction of the main by the city. This quote has been proposed to
the property owner on several occasions. The applicant will reimburse the City for the costs of
extending this sewer line.
Street Improvements: The south side of Amundson Road and the east side of Walter Road need
to be improved to provide curb and gutter along the right-of-way adjacent to the property. The
Subdivision Regulations require that the developer provide his portion of these improvements.
Public Works is not opposed to the funds being placed in escrow. The escrow amount is
approximately $74,000. The owner is requesting a waiver of this and is not opposed to signing a
covenant.
4. Sidewalks: The applicant has been advised that sidewalks are required adjacent to all public
streets. The applicant is requesting a waiver of this requirement since none currently exist on the
south side of Amundson Road.
5. Streetlights: The applicant has been advised that streetlights are required at this location. The
applicant has agreed and is in contact with TU Electric regarding construction and installation.
6. Zoning: This property is currently zoned as AG Agricultural. The applicant has been advised to
submit an application for rezoning to a residential zoning classification.

REQUEST OF GREG CLIFTON FOR A SHORT FORM FINAL PLAT TO BE
I
KNOWN AS LOT 1, BLOCK 1, CLIFTON ADDITION. (LOCATED AT 8912
AMUNDSON ROAD)
APPROVED
Mr. LeBaron explained that the applicant owns 2.3 acres and has an existing
house on it. He is proposing a remodel on it and it triggers the need for platting
the property. The property is currently zoned AG Agricultural and the applicant
has been advised a zoning change will be required. He is not opposed to this
and will make application for this prior to going to City Council.
e
Because this is an older home, sewer and street improvements are both
significant. Amundson and Walter Street are both un-improved streets at this
location. The sewer extension will cost $4,000 and the street improvements total
$74,000, he is asking for a waiver but is not opposed to signing a covenant for
these improvements. Staff recommends that should the Commission
Page 2 - 3/26/98
e
recommend the applicant sign a covenant, the price of sidewalks be included in
that amount.
Mr. Ferguson moved to approve PS 98-03 requiring a covenant for $74,000 for
street and sidewalk improvements. The applicant is required to install the sewer.
Mr. Wood seconded the motion and it carried 6 - O. Messrs. Ferguson, Wood,
Davis, Barfield, Bowen and Miller were in favor of this request.

MEMO TO: Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Julia W. Skare, P.E., Staff Engineer
SUBJECT: PS97 -03; CLIFTON ADDITION; Block 1, Lot 1
Short Form Final Plat
We have reviewed the subject documents submitted to this office on March 4, 1998.
The following items are for your consideration.
1.
GRADING PLAN The Public Works Director waived the requirement for a
Preliminary Drainage Analysis as allowed by the Subdivision Ordinance. The
Public Works Director has required the property owner to provide an engineered
grading plan if he was adding to or changing the foundation of the home. It is
our understanding the owner is proposing to add to the existing foundation. He
is also requesting a waiver of the grading plan.
e
The Public Works Director is not opposed to the owner providing a written "hold
harmless" agreement with the City. This will need to be filed prior to a building
permit being issued on the improvements.
\
2. SANITARY SEWER A 6" sanitary sewer main is required to be constructed
across the frontage on Walter Street. A letter was provided to the property
owner dated October 15, 1997, regarding construction of the main by the City. A
quote, with a December 1, 1997, expiration date was provided to the owner.
This was extended to February 1, 1998. A revised quote was sent to Mr. Clifton
on February 13, 1998, with an Apri/15, 1998, expiration date.
e
3. STEET IMPROVEMENTS This plat fronts on Amundson Drive and Walter Road.
The north side of Amundson, adjacent to the Oak Hills Subdivision has curb and
gutter. The south side of Amundson Drive and the east side of Walter Road
needs to be improved to provide curb and gutter along the right-of-way adjacent
to this property. The Subdivision Ordinance requires that the Developer provide
his portion of these improvements. These improvements are required by
ordinance and are necessary to the proposed Subdivision. Public Works is not

7200 A. Dick Fisher Dr. S.· 817-581-5671· FAX 817-656-7552
e
opposed to the funds being placed in escrow for this improvement. The escrow
amount is $88.27/foot at 471 feet for Walter Road and $148.79/foot at 218 feet
for Amundson Drive. The total for both streets is $74,011.39.
The owner has requested a waiver of the escrow in his letter dated February 19,
1998, and is not opposed to signing a covenant.
4. OWNERSHIP Ownership of all property within 100 feet of the Plat was
requested on the marked up blueline. This has not been accomplished. This is
required with the next submittal.
5. SIGNATURES The appropriate signatures need to be added to the Owner's
Acknowledgment and Dedication on the Final Plat. In addition, the surveyor's
seal and signature will need to be added to the .mylar of the Final Plat.
6. SIDEWALKS The Zoning Ordinance requires sidewalks adjacent to all public
streets. There are no sidewalks along the south side of Amundson Drive or
either side Walter Road. There are sidewalks on the north side of Amundson
Drive as part of the Oak Hills Subdivision. If funds are placed in escrow for
street improvements, sidewalks would be included. If a covenant is approved as
requested by the owner, Public Works feels the sidewalks should be installed
now.
e
7.
STREET LIGHTING Street Lighting is required by Section 1-06 of the Design
Manual. The locations of any existing street lights need to be shown on the
topographical drawing to confirm compliance with current ordinances. Any
additional street lights that may be required based on current ordinances, needs
to be coordinated with Public Works and TU Electric. The cost for installation of
any additional street lights will be paid by the developer directly to TU Electric.
This information was requested in the memo dated February 9 and has not been
received. This needs to be provided with the next submittal. ¡
This review was based on the plat submittal. The intention of this letter is to comment
on items of significant importance to the general concept. The marked-up blue line
needs to be returned with the next submittal.

Subject: Request of Trula Thomas for a Replat to be known as Lots Agenda Number: PS 98-09
9AR & 9BR, Block 30, Fox Hollow Addition. (Located at 7732 &
7734 Sable Lane.)
This is approximately a .3 acre parcel of land that was previously platted as Lot 9, Block 30, Fox
Hollow Addition. This lot is zoned R-4-D Duplex Residential and has a duplex constructed on this
site. The owner is wishing to sell half of the duplex. Consequently, they are wishing to divide the lot
in half. The issues associated with this replat are as follows:
1. Drainage: Normally a drainage analysis is required of any replat. However, in this instance, the
surveyor/property owner is asking for a waiver of this requirement because this is an existing lot
with an existing structure, and no changes or construction will occur. The Public Works
Department has received a letter requesting a waiver of drainage analysis signed by the property
owner from the surveyor.
All other engineering comments have been agreed to. This plat is in conformance with the currently
adopted Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the City of NRH.
RECOMMENDA TION:
The Planning & Zoning Commission will consider this item at the April 9, 1998 meeting and their
recommendation will be faxed to you on Friday, April 1 0, 1998.

FROM: Julia W. Skare, P.E., Staff Engineer

SUBJECT: PS98-09; FOX HOLLOW ADDITION; Block 1:e, Lots 9A-R & 9B-R;
Final Plat
We have reviewed the subject documents submitted to this office on March 10, 1998.
The following items are for your consideration.
e
1. DRAINAGE The Public Works Director is not opposed to a letter from the
property owners stating they are requesting a waiver of the drainage analysis,
there have been no drainage problems and they are not changing the existing
grading on the lots. As requested in the memo dated March 4, this will need to
be included with the next submittal. The statement from the surveyor saying
"waiver of the drainage analysis requested" does not meet this requirement.
. 2.
GPS COORDINATES Public Works feels, as required in the Subdivision
Regulations, the Final Plat needs to include the NAD83 Texas State Plane
Coordinates for at least two property corners. The coordinates should be
determined by a survey tied to the City's GPS monuments.
3. SIGNATURES The signatures need to be added to the Owner's
\
acknowledgment and Dedication on the Final Plat. In addition, the surveyor's
seal and signature needs to be added to the mylar of the Final Plat.
The letter from the owner, as well as the response letter for this memo, is required no
later than noon, Wednesday, March 18. If both items are received the plat will be
placed on the March 26, 1998, P & Z Agenda for consideration.

Subject: TxDOT for the Cotton belt Multi-Use Trail Proiect
Resolution No. 98-17
Council Meeting Date: 04/1 ~/qR
Agenda Number: GN 98-43
The City of North Richland Hills has been awarded a grant, in the amount of $1,725,000, for
development of the Cotton belt Multi-Use Trail along the Cotton belt Railroad from North East

The City of North Richland Hills has received approval from the Texas Department of
Transportation to locally let the project in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
Grant Agreement. Upon adoption of the resolution approving the agreement, TxDOT requires
1 % of the City's share, $3,622 to be deposited in an escrow account in order to begin work on
the project.
The City Council, at their December 8, 1997 meeting, approved the Interlocal Agreement with
South lake and Colleyville to participate together in the design and construction of the
Cotton belt Multi-Use Trail. TxDOT has approved the Interlocal Agreement.
In the approved Parks and Recreation Facility Development CIP, funding for the execution of
the Grant Agreement is shown in the current FY 97/98 Budget.
This grant agreement with TxDOT allows for the following:
· joint participation with Southlake and Colleyville,
· establishes the federal share of funding for the project,
· authorizes each city to bid the project and administer the construction contract.
Once the Grant Agreement is executed, the consultant contract will be awarded in accordance
with TxDOT policies and guidelines. Completion of the plans and specifications and approval
by TxDOT is scheduled for November 1999. The City will then bid the project and administer
the construction contract, which is expected to be completed by November 2000.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that City Council adopt Resolution No. 98-17 authorizing the execution of
the Grant Agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation for the Cottonbelt Multi-
Use Trail Project.

Resolution Supporting Trinity Express Railway
Agenda Number: GN 98- 45
Resolution 98-19
Following a briefing on March 23, Council asked staff to prepare a resolution expressing
support for the extension of the Trinity Express Railway commuter rail service (formerly
known as RAIL TRAN) from its present run between Dallas and Irving to Downtown Fort
Worth. Attached for your consideration is a resolution which also notes the Council's
preference for Regional Transportation Council (RTC) administration of the cost allocation.
You will recall that Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) ánd the Fort Worth Transportation
Authority (FWT A) have the funds needed to cover the capital costs of extending commuter
rail service--and are working with the North Central Texas Council of Governments
(NCTCOG) to deal with operating costs.
North Richland Hills' share of the operating costs may range from as high as $59,000 per
year to a net of $0.00, depending on whether the proposed option allocates costs by
operating expenses or includes a pro rata offset of revenue from the Federal Transit
Authority's formula funds.
Members of the Mid-Cities Rail Task Force--the RTC-appointed group studying the issue--
asked NCTCOG staff to work with DART and FWT A officials to develop an interagency
agreement which represents a combination of these funding options. Councilman Don
Phifer and I will have the opportunity to review a proposed organizational structure for the
monitoring and development of Trinity Express Railway operating cost allocations at the
RTC meeting at NCTCOG on Thursday, April 9.

LeBlanc Study on January 23, 1995 and item number 18 recommended that the City "Develop
a Catastrophic Recovery Plan for the City's Data Center." In the FY 97/98 Budget, Information
Services requested and was granted funds to accommodate this need.
In December 1997, Information Services submitted Requests for Professional Services to the
following companies who specialize in developing disaster plans:
1. Coopers & Lybrand
2. DPS
3. KPMG Peat Marwick LLP
4. Sungard
The following companies were interviewed and proposals were received disclosing the
amounts proposed:
1.
2.
3.
DPS
KPMG Peat Marwick LLP
Sungard
$ 29,000.00
$ 75,000.00
$ 25,000.00
After careful analysis, Information Services believes it to be in the best interest of the City to
award the bid for professional services to DPS. DPS submitted a proposal on January 7, 1998
that covers not only "all" of the City's major computer systems, but also includes the provision
to develop a contingency recovery plan for the Police and Dispatch areas.
The bid submitted from Sungard, which is a lower bid, covers a limited number of systems and
does not include a recovery plan for the Police Department. Although the bid submitted from
KPMG covers all major computer systems, their bid is very labor intensive and not affordable.
Recommendation: It is recommended that Council award the bid for professional services to
DPS to develop a disaster recover plan for the Information Services and Police Departments in
an amount not to exceed $29.000.

Authorize Purchase of Thermallmaginp Camera

PU 98-33
Mine Safety Appliance (MSA) manufactures the Argus Thermal Imaging camera. The
thermal imaging technology allows firefighters to see objects and images through smoke
and darkness to spot unseen obstacles and to assist in rescue operations. The total amount
for the camera and accessories is $16,000. Casco Industries is the local distributor for
MSA products, so the purchase would be considered sole source.
A North Richland Hills citizen wishes to donate the funds to purchase the camera in her
husbands name. The Fire Department has transported her husband to the hospital on
several occasions, and they wish to show their appreciation by this donation.
The camera equipment would enhance firefighter protection and efficiency.
Recommendation: It is recommended City Council authorize the purchase of the Argus
Thermal Imaging Camera from Casco Industries in the amount of $16,000.
