FROM R-7 MULTI-FAMILY TO PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR AN
INDEPENDENT LIVING FACILITY. (LOCATED IN THE 6200 BLOCK OF
GLENVIEW DRIVE)
APPROVED
Vice Chairman Davis opened the public hearing and asked staff to explain this
req uest.
Mr. LeBaron explained that this 9.3-acre tract of land is on Glenview Drive
between the Waterford on the Green and Diamond Loch apartments. It is
currently zoned R-7 Multi-family. The applicant is requesting a zoning change to
a planned development for a 120 unit independent living facility for senior
citizens. Some of the issues involved in this request are dwelling unit size,
parking and masonry requirements.
e
Mr. Don Averitt, Capital Senior Development, presented this request. He
explained they have projects going on all over the country. He stated that
because they house senior citizens, arrays of room sizes are needed to
accommodate financial requirements. The rents range from $1100 - $2400 per
month and they do not accept any government assistance. The monthly rent
covers 3 meals a day and any transportation that is needed for residents.
Mr. Averitt explained that these facilities are built according to the US Senior
Citizen Act of 1986, which states the facilities are for people 55 years of age and
older. No exceptions are made.
Mr. Averitt stated that they are requesting a waiver of the parking requirements
since a lot of the residents won't drive.
Mr. Averitt explained that they are requesting a variance in the minimum dwelling
unit size. The smallest unit proposed is 297 square feet. This consists of a
bedroom/sitting area with a small closest and bathroom. There is an onsite
library, a large dining room, hair salon and craft room. In the 10 years he has
worked in Independent Living, he has never seen a facility turn into an apartment
complex. They are also requesting a waiver in the required masonry explaining
that this is an upscale facility.

P & Z Minutes
e
Responding to a question, Mr. Averitt stated that he currently has this type of
facility under construction in Mesquite, San Antonio and Baton Rouge. They
have 30 existing facilities in operation across the United States.
The unit sizes vary from 297 square feet to 840 square feet, but Mr. Averitt
believes that with the common areas, the square footage issue equals out.
Seeing no additional proponents or no opponents. The public hearing was
closed.
Discussion ensued regarding the masonry requirement and their requested
waiver. Because there are so many windows and doors on this project, Mr.
Cook, the project's engineer, stated it's hard to accommodate the 75% masonry.
The first floor will be 100% masonry. The overall structure will be 70.6%
masonry.
Mr. Davis stated that he doesn't really have a problem with the masonry
deviation but he does have a problem with the 297 square foot units.
e
Mr., Wood suggested that filing deed restrictions on the property that place an
age restriction on the property would be one way to alleviate the concern of this
project turning into apartments down the road.
Mr. Averitt stated they would not have a problem with deed restrictions.
Mr. Bowen stated that the small unit size bothers him.
Mr. Wood agrees with Mr. Bowen and believes that consideration should be
placed on the possibility of this project turning into apartments down the road.
The market can change drastically.
Mr. Miller doesn't like the smallest unit size, but stated if the market truly exists,
he could live with it.
Mr. Ferguson believes the deed restrictions would work well.
Mr. Davis believes that the market shows a need for the elderly citizens in our
community, however, is concerned about 297 square foot rooms.
e
Mr. Averitt believes this would be a significant addition to the City of NRH and
would improve a very bad site. He stated that they have spent a tremendous
amount of money trying to make this project something everyone could be proud
of. The unit size, while small, fits an economic demand. Mr. Averitt stated
additionally that he would be the first person to ever build a project like this in a
ditch.

REQUEST OF HERB CROSS FOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL TO REDUCE THE
MASONRY REQUIREMENTS AT 7740 NE LOOP 820
DENIED
Mr. Herb Cross, applicant, presented this request. He explained that the metal
building that originally existed burned recently. This has been demolished and
they are requesting to rebuild this structure as before, only 20% larger. He
explained that this structure is over 360' south of the frontage of the loop and is
90' away from the road on the west and over 140' away from the road on the
south. Metal structures surround this location. He stated their request is to
rebuild a totally metal structure.
Mr. Davis asked if anyone in the audience had anything to add to this discussion.
Seeing none opened discussion amongst the Commission.
e
Mr. Davis asked how much expansion was planned from the original size and
Mr. Cross stated about 20% larger than they were before. Additionally, Mr.
Cross stated that none of the existing building contained masonry and their
request is to rebuild a totally metal building.
Mr. Davis explained to those in the audience that the City Council had recently
passed an amendment to the zoning regulations requiring all new commercial
construction consist of at least 75% masonry on each elevation and that site plan
approval is required by the P&Z and City Council should a variance be granted
relating to this. Under the new guidelines, his new structure should have at least
75% masonry on each elevation.
Mr. Wood stated that the 75% masonry requirement has always been in place,
and strictly enforced in the past. He would hate to see the Commission go
backwards.
Mr. Bowen believes the ordinance should be followed.
Mr. Wood stated the current ordinance states they could do a metal structure if
they were only replacing up to 50% of the value of the structure.
e
Some discussion ensued as to whether the structure was going to be larger than
it originally was. It was determined that the new footprint would be 20% larger
than the original footprint. Mr. Cross stated that "the building will consist of a
shop on the west side and a parts area in the middle that are bigger than this
other that they are working on, which is one big building that had fire walls in
between it. The footprint is 20% larger than the part that burned."
Page 9 - 6/11/98
P & Z Minutes
e
Mr. Bowen stated that they are doing more than 50% - they have to totally
rebuild a building. He stated that even if they were building the new structure the
same size as it was originally, it would be an improvement of 100%, according to
the ordinance.
Mr. Cross stated that was not correct.
Mr. Bowen stated that is correct because there is no building there. It is being
totally rebuilt.
Mr. Cross stated that there is a building there, just not the part that burned.
Mr. Davis asked how much burned. He stated that someone had made the
determination that at least 50% of improvement of the existing structure is being
replaced or added to.
Mr. LeBaron stated that the Building Official had made that determination.
Mr. Cross stated that he had not given the Building Official enough information,
in his opinion, to make that determination.
Mr. Davis stated that Mr. Cross did have the right to appeal that decision to the
It Building Officials boss if he disagreed with his determination.
Mr. Bowen, seconded by Mr. Wood moved to deny PZ 98-25. The motion
carried with a vote of 4 - 1. Messrs. Bowen, Wood, Miller & Davis were in favor
of this motion. Mr. Ferguson was opposed.

REQUEST OF BRAD YOUNG OF MDK DEVELOPMENT CORP. FOR SITE
PLAN APPROVAL TO REDUCE THE MASONRY REQUIREMENT ON LOT 3,
BLOCK 3, T APP ADDITION. (LOCATED IN THE 5400 BLOCK OF HILLTOP
DRIVE)
DENIED
Mr. Brad Young presented his request. He stated that his client would like to
expand the existing mini-warehouses on Hilltop Drive. They would like to keep
the same appearance as the existing warehouses, but this facility will be climate
controlled. They propose to attach non-operable doors on the outside of this
new climate controlled facility that would match the orange doors on the existing
facility. If the doors were operable, they would not need to apply for a reduction
In masonry.
Responding to a question, Mr. Young stated that it would be possible to paint
fake doors on a tilt wall and that the proposed facility would look identical to the
existing facility, but the doors will be inoperable.
Mr. LeBaron stated that this case seems somewhat bureaucratic because if the
doors functioned as doors, this wouldn't be an issue. But since inoperable doors
are proposed in this internally accessed facility, the masonry requirement
becomes an issue.
Responding to a question, Mr. Young stated that the building would be of pre-
cast concrete columns at 10' centers, with "dummy doors" that are identical to
the operable doors on the existing facility. They would be mounted exactly as
the operable doors. Metal liner panels with insulation would be directly behind
the fake doors.
Mr. Bowen, seconded by Mr. Davis, moved to deny PZ 98-26. The motion
carried with a vote of 5 - O. Messrs. Bowen, Davis, Wood, Miller & Ferguson
were in favor of this motion.

Subject:
MEADOW CREEK ROAD; Proposed Road Humps
Chuck and Lori Taylor, 6825 Meadow Creek Road, made an initial request for the
installation of road humps on the street. In accordance with Ordinance No. 1921
concerning road humps, the Street Division conducted traffic counts. The initial
qualification requirement is that a minimum of 500 vehicles per day travel the street.
This is checked before a speed study is conducted to see if the speed criteria of 35
miles per hour is met or the petition to see if two-thirds of the property owners on the
street are in favor of the road hump installations. The traffic count was 150 vehicles per
day and therefore did not qualify Meadow Creek Road for consideration to have road
humps. A response letter was written by Jimmy Cates, Public Works Superintendent,
Street Division to the Taylors explaining this (copy attached).
Mr. Robert Hart, 6817 Meadow Creek Road, subsequently became aware of this
request and its denial. He telephoned my office and I discussed the matter with him
and stated that I could not authorize road humps on Meadow Creek Road unless it met
the criteria in accordance with Ordinance No. 1921. He stated he would probably
present his request to the Council as he did at the last Council meeting.
Staff would appreciate direction from Council on whether or not they want to pursue any
further action or discussion on this matter.

RE: ROAD HUMPS; MEADOW CREEK ROAD
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Taylor:
.
In response to your request for road humps to be installed on Meadow Creek Road, the
daily traffic volume of the street must have at least 500 vehicles per day as required by
the ordinance. Meadow Creek Road falls below the criteria with around 150 vehicles
per day.
The traffic volume criteria must be met before any consideration is given for road hump
installation. If the traffic pattern for the street should change in the future, you can
request that the staff re-evaluate the street for road hump eligibility.
If I can answer any questions, please contact my office at (817) 581-5682.

INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
No. IR 98-139

Date:
July 13, 1998
Subject: Possible Changes to Landscaping & Sign Regulations
After recent discussions involving the City Council, City staff and hearing concerns expressed
by a number of residents regarding landscaping, signs and other development criteria
primarily on major corridors in our city, the staff has been working on options for addressing
these concerns. We realize that an Ad-Hoc Committee is being formed to review and
recommend any long term changes that might be needed in these and other areas.
Until the Ad-Hoc Committee can meet and formulate recommendations to the Council, we
would propose that an "Interim Review Committee" of City staff be authorized to meet with
any prospective developers along our corridor areas and negotiate with them for higher
landscaping standards and lower profile sign sizes and heights, encouraging monument
signs in many cases.
In order to expedite changes when they are identified, it would be advisable to consider
removing the landscaping and sign regulations from the Comprehensive Zoning Regulations
and placing them in separate City Ordinances. In order to achieve this, public hearings must
be held by the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council since we would be
changing the Zoning Regulations. Notifications of the public hearings could be made
concurrently to expedite this process. (Attachment "A')
e
If the City Council desires to begin this process, staff can begin working on the replacement
ordinances and the public hearing process for the two bodies. Attached are "sample"
regulations that show a comparison to our current regulations. The "sample" regulations
would be used to establish interim guidelines for the staff Committee to use and also as the
basis for developing the ordinances that would replace the current Landscaping and Sign
Regulations. (Attachment "B")
Staff is seeking Council direction on proceeding with an "Interim Review Committee" to
negotiate with prospective developers until more appropriate standards are in place. Staff is
also seeking Council consensus to proceed with the public hearings and related notifications
to consider removing from the Comprehensive Zoning Regulations and placing the
Landscaping and Sign Regulations of that document into separate City Ordinances regulating
these areas. If Council consensus is to proceed with these, steps will be taken to initiate both.
Respectfully submitted.

Attachment 'A"
Proposed Changes to Zoning Regulations
Remov,e Landscapong Section - A landscape ordinance that is not included within the
zoning ordinance will be easier to amend. Any regulation contained within a zoning
ordinance requires lengthy public hearings, possible property owner notifications and
newspaper advertisements to comply with state mandated zoning statutes. In addition,
requests for variances from a zoning regulation heard by the Zoning Board of Adjustment
must prove up a hardship situation. Finding a hardship for not complying with a landscaping
regulation is rather difficult and raises certain legal questions. A variance request from a
regulation in an ordinance that is not a zoning regulation does not have these hardship and
legal concerns to deal with.
Remove the Sign Regulations Section - A hypothetical survey of area cities would
probably find that approximately half of those cities would have their sign regulations
contained as a part of their zoning regulations and the other half would have a stand-alone
ordinance. A stand-alone ordinance makes sense for much of the same reasons as having a
stand-alone landscaping ordinance. Most cities that choose to put these regulations within
their zoning ordinances do so because it seems logical to put all the development regulations
into one document. However, combining landscaping and sign regulations with zoning also
make for a complex document and is ripe for conflicting regulations.
e
.
e
Attachment liB"
Proposed Landscaping and Sign Guidelines for Interim Review Committee
Pole Sign Considerations
1. The maximum height and size of a pole sign, except within the Freeway Overlay Zone
shall be as follows: (This is a new feature. cUffentlya sign can be as hiah as 50 feet and
as big as 300 square feet.) (FYI, last year staff surveyed the signs on Davis Blvd. and
found most of them in compliance with this size requirement. There were only two or
three that exceeded this size and height and those by only a few feet.)
a. Maximum Height - 25 feet *
b. Maximum Size - 100 square feet *
2. The maximum height and size of a major development pole sign, except within the
Freeway Overlay Zone shall be as follows: (This is a chanGe from CUffent reaulations.
CUffently a major development size could be as large as 1.000 square feet and as high as
60 feet) (a major development sign is only allowed when a commercial development has
100,000 s.f. or more of building.)
a. Maximum Height - 25 feet *
b. Maximum Size - 250 square feet *
* These regulations would be thoroughly evaluated prior to recommendation for inclusion in a
sign ordinance.
Landscaping Consideration
1. Required Percentage
a. 15% of the lot landscaped with one half of this between the building and the street (this
is the same as current requirements).
b. Using the current square footage credit table for trees and shrubs, trees and/or shrubs
shall be planted in the street yard which have a total square footage equivalent to one-
half of the square footage required by the 15% lot coverage (this is a new feature that
will make p/antina of trees or shrubs mandatory and prevent the bare lookina "aI/-
grass" situations).
c. One 2" caliper tree shall be planted for each 1,000 square feet of street yard. Existing
trees within the street yard may be included in this calculation. (This is a new
requirement)
2. Landscape Credits
The overall area of landscaping may be reduced by planting additional shrubs and trees
above the minimum required. The area may not be reduced below 10% of the total lot
area. (the CUffent reGulations aI/ow a reduction of the overal/ area from 15% of the lot to
7.5% of the lot by usinG tree and shrub credits)
e
.
e
3. Landscape Setback
There shall be a minimum setback area of ten (10) feet adjacent to all public street rights-
of-way in which there is no paving, except for driveway access, or buildings and in which
there shall be landscaping. Roof overhangs and awnings are permitted within this area as
long as no conflict exists with the required landscaping. Loading areas, outside storage
and outside display areas shall not encroach into the landscape setback. (This is a new
reauirement. Currently. parking lots may be riaht next to the sidewalk and leave little area
for proper landscaping. Those cities surveyed that have landscaped setbacks have been
better able to achieve success with landscaping implementation).
4. Parking Lot Screening
Parking, maneuvering, loading areas for people, or vehicular display and storage and boat
areas which are not screened by on-site buildings or fences shall be screened from view
of public streets as follows: (This is a new reauirement. currently NRH does not reauire
parking lot perimeter landscape screening.)
a. The screening shall be a minimum height of twenty-four (24) inches and a maximum of
thirty-six (36) inches above the grade of the parking lot.
b. Screening shall be solid and consist of one of the following:
(1). Screening shrubs
(2). Walls
(3) Berms
c. Screening shrubs shall be spaced a maximum of three (3) feet on center and shall be
minimum of five (5) gallon containers when planted, and capable of reaching a
minimum height of thirty (30) within eighteen (18) months of planting.
d. Wall structures shall be masonry.
e. Wheel stops shall be provided for parking spaces adjacent to a landscape setback to
prohibit any car overhang over the planting area. Wheel stops shall be located twenty-
four (24) inches from the end of the parking area.

V Subject. Visions and Significant Policy Initiatives
.
.
At the June 30 work session, we had planned to discuss in the 1998/99 budget overview
some policy initiatives and visions of four of our larger city departments. There are a number
of items that we will be looking at over the next 12 to 24 months that we thought might be
helpful to Council as we go into our planning session for the budget at the end of this month.
We have decided to schedule these visions/significant policy initiatives at the Pre-council on
July 13.
We will ask the Police, Fire, Parks and Recreation, and Public Works Departments to take
a few minutes each to present some of their visions and major·considerations. It will not be
necessary to take any action on this, but it will be more of a "heads up" for Council as we
look at operations and doing business over the next couple of years. This will certainly not
be the last and only time we will talk about these, but again it is to give you a briefing of some
things that are likely to come and also ideas from these larger departments.
We look forward to presenting this to you on the 13th.

IR 97-123 Mr. Cunningham advised that Staff had RANDY S./BARRY L.
TRAINING/ previously discussed with Council the need for
CONTINUING the Planning & Zoning and Zoning Board of
EDUCATION Adjustment Members to attend seminars/
SESSIONS FOR training sessions to keep current on laws and
BOARDS AND legislation. Councilman Mitchell has
COMMISSIONS questioned if the Council should require the
members of these boards to attend a
continuing education seminar/worksession
annually as a condition for membership. The
Council recently approved an ordinance
addressing Boards and Commissions and the
training for P&Z and ZBA members was vague
as to whether it was required. The Mayor
advised he had discussed with staff the need
for an annual orientation session for board
members to give them information on
objectives, goals and rules. The Council
discussed whether the members of these two
boards should be required to attend a training
session and whether it should be annually or
biennially. There was discussion on requiring
them to attend an in-house training session
conducted by staff one year and a
regional/statewide training session the next
year. The consensus of the Council was to
require the Planning and Zoning Commission
and Zoning Board of Adjustment Members to
attend during their two-year term of office, a
training session in-house and a
regional/statewide training session. Staff will
prepare an action item to amend the ordinance
requiring them to attend training sessions.

Council Meeting Date: 7/13/98
Subject: Approve "No ParkinQ Anytime" Zone for Skylark Circle at Agenda Number: GN 98-71
the Meadow Lakes Drive Intersection - Ordinance No. 2316
The Public Works Department is requesting the northwest side of Skylark Circle southwest
of the Meadow Lakes Drive intersection be designated as a "No Parking Anytime" zone.
Visitors to the homes at the southwest corner of this intersection are occasionally parking
their vehicles and leaving them unattended on both sides of Skylark Circle. This is causing
the remaining open portion of Skylark Circle to be too narrow for two vehicles to pass
safely. The difficulty for passing of cars near the intersection is compounded by the erratic
turning motion of cars from Meadow Lakes Drive onto Skylark Circle.
The "No Parking Anytime" signs would be placed in the first 100 feet southwest of the
southwest curb line of Meadow Lakes Drive on the northwest side of Skylark Circle.
The Police Department has no objection to this "No Parking" zone.
Recommendation:
It is recommended Council approve Ordinance No. 2316.

CITY OF

Department: Legal/Information Services
Council Meeting Date: 7/13/98
Subject: Approval of Intertocal Agreement with BISD on
Fiber Project - Resolution No. 98-28
Agenda Number: GN 98-72
This Resolution authorizes the Mayor to execute an Interlocal Agreement with Birdville
Independent School District whereby the City is trading four fiber optic strands for the
necessary right to build our fiber network across the Richland High School property.
This agreement is compatible with the Council goals for 2008. Specifically,5.(e)
"Strong support and partnership with the community."
The agreement will potentially save BISD in excess of $100,000 and the granting of this
right to use their property would save NRH approximately $35,000. This agreement is a
winlwin situation for BISD, NRH and the taxpayers.
As BISD and NRH both have the need to build similar networks, it is hoped that this
opportunity can be repeated in the future where BISD can exchange fiber from their
network for use of City property.
Recommendation:
Approve passage of Resolution No. 98-28.

Dear Mr. Kinzie:
Please accept this communication as a "Letter of Agreement" between the City
of North Richland Hills and the Birdville Independent School District. The
City has proposed a project to connect the city offices to the city library and the
fire academy with fiber optic cable. In the course of completing this project,
the City has requested right-of-way through the Richland High School
campus. The District is pleased to grant this request for right-of-way (as
defined and plotted in a meeting between city officials and Mr. Bill Cypert and
Mr. Roger Courtney of the District). The District is thankful for the offer of
two access points (located in the main high school building and in the field
house) on the Richland High School campus and the use of two strands of the
fiber to be laid in this and future projects in exchange for this right-of-way.
The District feels that this cooperative effort is an excellent example of
efficient and effective use of public funding to accomplish the goals of both
organizations while providing a higher level of quality service to the citizens
of the City and the children of the District. We look forward to future
opportunities of this nature and view quite favorably the spirit of cooperation
in our relationship.
If we may answer additional questions on this or other matters of mutual
importance, please contact us at your convenience. Thank you.
Respectfull y,

Award Bid for Recreation Center HVAC Replacement to Agenda Number: PU 98-49
Freer Mechanical in the Amount of $330,318
· In the 1997/98 CIP Budget, the City Council approved the "Recreation Center HVAC Replacement
The existing system has passed its estimated life cycle by nearly five years and is in constant need
of repair.
· The system was not designed for the uses and activities (Aerobics, Karate, Meetings, Fitness
Workout Rooms, etc.) that take place in the Rec. Center. The system is not "zoned" so that the
different activities in various rooms can accommodate the demands. Not only are we not able to
provide adequate service to the various needs, the system is very inefficient.
· The new system will be energy efficient (our design engineers estimate a conservative savings of
$4,000 per year) and will include a centralized computer controlled program with multiple zone
capacity so that the air temperature in individual rooms and major areas can be regulated to
accommodate specific functions and maximize energy conservation.
· Design of a system of this size and specifications (to retrofit an existing building) is a custom job.
The design contract was awarded to the specialty-engineering firm of Romine, Romine & Burgess,
Inc. who began work in October 1997.
· Timing on this project is critical. We have been working with the design engineers and staff to get
this project out for bid and awarded so that we can schedule installation during the "cooler seasonal
months" this fall in order to have the least negative impact on our employees and customers.
Installation of the system means taking the existing system out of service. While we do plan to
furnish fans for air circulation and to enhance the comfort of our customers, there will be a period of
time when the building will not have HVAC in operation. Construction is expected to commence on
August 31 and be completed by December 31, 1998.
· In order to meet this schedule the system must be ordered, fabricated, and delivered in time to meet
this construction schedule.
· In order to get as many competitive bids as possible staff solicited information for the design
engineers to obtain the names of contractors qualified to do this type of construction. We advertised
in the Star Telegram, mailed notices to eight qualified contractors, & sent a notice and copy of the
plans to the "Texas Contractor Plan Room".
· We received two very good bids meeting our requirements:
1. Freer Mechanical Contractors
$330,318 92 days to complete
2. Walker Mechanical
$340,600 93 days to complete

. In order to determine why we received only two bids staff contacted eleven contractors, five of
which had picked up bid spec's. The majority replied that they did not bid because they already had
too much business; one indicated that after reviewing the bid spec's he realized that he was not
qualified to take on the job; one indicated that their company did not want to supply the required
Performance and Payment Bonds; and three did not respond to our calls.
. Freer Mechanical Contractors met all the requirements of the bid. They have performed work for the
City in the past and have completed projects on time and within budget.
Recommendation: The bid for the Recreation Center HVAC Replacement project be awarded
to the lowest qualified bidder, Freer Mechanical Contractors, in the amount of $330,318.

3. Fencing: The developer is proposing to construct a 6' wooden fence along the north and the
south property lines. The developer is proposing a 6' masonry and wrought iron fence along the
eastern property line of the property that fronts on Glenview Drive.
4. Elevations: The applicant has provided elevation drawings and an analysis of exterior surface
materials. The structures are proposed to be both brick and non-masonry siding. The applicant
has provided information regarding the masonry coverage for the different elevations. Elevations
facing Glenview Drive have a 77.4% masonry coverage and elevations not facing Glenview Drive
have masonry coverage of 63.8%. The combined average masonry coverage for the entire
structure is 70.6%. The Ordinance requires that all elevations be at least 65% masonry. Not all
elevations conform to this requirement even though the masonry percentage for the overall
structure exceeds the requirement. The developer is askinq for a waiver of the requirement that
all elevations contain 65% masonry coveraqe.
5. Hours of Operation: The development will operate the dining room and provide housekeeping
staff between 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
6. Building Heights: Due the extensive floodplain on the property resulting from Big Fossil Creek
just to the west of the property, the building area is rather limited. Therefore, the developer
proposes to construct a facility that is 3 stories in height along the northern most wing of the
facility. This northern most wing is the elevation that faces the rear of the property and is adjacent
to Big Fossil Creek.
7. Dumpster Screening: The dumpster location is at the rear of the building and is not visible from
any public right-of-way. The developer is proposing to screen the dumpster with a 6' masonry
wall with wooden gates.
8. Signage: The developer is proposing to construct a 6' externally illuminated monument sign
adjacent to Glenview Drive.
9. Access Gate: The developer is not proposing to construct a limited access gate. This is
required for all other new multi-family developments in the city.
10. Landscaping: The developer has met the landscaping regulations established by the City.

This project is consistent with the NRH Comprehensive Land Use Plan. During the public hearing
held by the P&Z, there was considerable discussion about the possibility of these multi-family units
reverting back to a traditional apartment project at some time in the future. Some of the members of
the P&Z felt that the applicant should file deed restrictions limiting the tenants to persons 55 years of
age and older. The Planning & Zoning Commission considered this request for rezoning to a
Planned Development for an independent living facility at their June 11, 1998 meeting and
recommended approval subject to deed restrictions being filed with the County stating the 11
conditions outlined in Section 3 of the proposed ordinance, and that no one under 55 years of age
may be a lessee.
Deed restrictions may not be enforced by the City and would thereafter require a civil suit if these
restrictions were violated.
RECOMMENDATION:
To approve the recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Commission provided a deed restriction is
filed with the County prior to permits being issued stating the 11 conditions outlined in Section 3 of
the Ordinance and adding that no one under 55 years of age may be a lessee and to approve the
passage of Ordinance No. 2314.

PZ 98-15
PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE REQUEST OF WSI ARCHITECTS
FOR A ZONING CHANGE ON TRACT 3R, M. TRIMBLE SURVEY, A-1520
FROM R-7 MULTI-FAMILY TO PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR AN
INDEPENDENT LIVING FACILITY. (LOCATED IN THE 6200 BLOCK OF
GLENVIEW DRIVE)
APPROVED
Vice Chairman Davis opened the public hearing and asked staff to explain this
req uest.
Mr. LeBaron explained that this 9.3-acre tract of land is on Glenview Drive
between the Waterford on the Green and Diamond Loch apartments. It is
currently zoned R-7 Multi-family. The applicant is requesting a zoning change to
a planned development for a 120 unit independent living facility for senior
citizens. Some of the issues involved in this request are dwelling unit size,
parking and masonry requirements.
e
Mr. Don Averitt, Capital Senior Development, presented this request. He
explained they have projects going on all over the country. He stated that
because they house senior citizens, arrays of room sizes are needed to
accommodate financial requirements. The rents range from $1100 - $2400 per
month and they do not accept any government assistance. The monthly rent
covers 3 meals a day and any transportation that is needed for residents.
Mr. Averitt explained that these facilities are built according to the US Senior
Citizen Act of 1986, which states the facilities are for people 55 years of age and
older. No exceptions are made. .. ." __ .
Mr. Averitt stated that they are requesting a waiver of the parking requirements
since a lot of the residents won't drive.
e
Mr. Averitt explained that they are requesting a variance in the minimum dwelling
unit size. The smallest unit proposed is 297 square feet. This consists of a
bedroom/sitting area with a small closest and bathroom. There is an onsite
library, a large dining room, hair salon and craft room. In the 10 years he has
worked in Independent Living, he has never seen a facility turn into an apartment
complex. They are also requesting a waiver in the required masonry explaining
that this is an upscale facility.

Responding to a question, Mr. Averitt stated that he currently has this type of
facility under construction in Mesquite, San Antonio and Baton Rouge. They
have 30 existing facilities in operation across the United States.
The unit sizes vary from 297 square feet to 840 square feet, but Mr. Averitt
believes that with the common areas, the square footage issue equals out.
Seeing no additional proponents or no opponents. The public hearing was
closed.
Discussion ensued regarding the masonry requirement and their requested
waiver. Because there are so many windows and doors on this project, Mr.
Cook, the project's engineer, stated it's hard to accommodate the 75% masonry.
The first floor will be 100% masonry. The overall structure will be 70.6%
masonry.
Mr. Davis stated that he doesn't really have a problem with the masonry
deviation but he does have a problem with the 297 square foot units.
Mr., Wood suggested that filing deed restrictions on the property that place an
age restriction on the property would be one way to alleviate the concern of this
project turning into apartments down the road.
Mr. Averitt stated they would not have a problem with deed restrictions.
Mr. Bowen stated that the small unit size bothers him.
Mr. Wood agrees with Mr. Bowen and believes that consideration should be
placed on the possibility of this project turning into apartments down the road.
The market can change drastically.
Mr. Miller doesn't like the smallest unit size,· but stated if the market truly exists, .
he could live with it.
Mr. Ferguson believes the deed restrictions would work well.
Mr. Davis believes that the market shows a need for the elderly citizens in our
community, however, is concerned about 297 square foot rooms.
Mr. Averitt believes this would be a significant addition to the City of NRH and
would improve a very bad site. He stated that they have spent a tremendous
amount of money trying to make this project something everyone could be proud
of. The unit size, while small, fits an economic demand. Mr. Averitt stated
additionaUy that he would be the first person to ever build a project like this in a
ditch.

Mr. Ferguson, seconded by Mr. Wood, moved to approve PZ 98-15 provided a

under 55 years of age may be a lessee. The motion carried with a vote of 4 _ 1.
Messrs. Ferguson, Wood, Miller & Davis were in favor of this request. Mr.
Bowen was opposed.

Dear Mr. Baker:
In submitting our site plan for the above referenced project, please note the revision to the
6'-0" high masonry screen wall along Glenview Drive. A portion of the wall was deleted to
e accommodate the construction of the drainage head wall and the grade fall at this location.
The staggered wall design was also modified to accommodate the site grading along the
front of the property.

RE: Waterford Site Plan
Mr. Stefoniak:
I have reviewed the site plan submitted to the Planning and Zoning Office on May 4, 1998 regarding
the above referenced property. It appears as if all of the comments this office made in the previous
site plan comment letter dated March 20, 1998 have been adequately addressed.
However, in reviewing the submitted elevations it appears as if not all elevations are shown.
.ditionally, it also appears that the building, as proposed, does not currently meet the 65% masonry
building requirements as established for the R7-MF, Multi-Family zoning district. It is important to
point out that this development is not a Multi-Family project. The City of North Richland Hills is
merely using the R7-MF development regulations as a guideline for the Planned Development
proposed.
..
.
Please indicate in a graphical manner, i.e. new elevations, a table, or a graph, the masonry
-", ..
calculations for the proposed building.
If you have any questions, please contact me.

RE: Waterford Addition Site Plan
Mr. Stefoniak:
I have reviewed the site plan submitted to the Planning and Zoning office on March 13, 1998. The
following comments are based on and numerically follow the conditions related to approval of a
Planned Development as outlined in the Zoning Ordinance. Please find attached a copy of this section,
1. Setbacks for buildings or structures: Building setbacks for the north property line and the front of
the building facing Glenview are provided. Setbacks for the west and the southern elevations of the
proposed building shall be provided with the next submittal.
e
2. Public street access: This item is addressed on the site plan.
3. Drainage: As discussed during the preliminary platting of this property there may be significant
drainage improvements required. No drainage information is provided on the site plan.
Consequently, site design and layout may change as a result of engineering. Approval of the site
plan by the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council in no manner reflects approval
of engineering plans.
4. Vehicular traffic, circulation, parking spaces: Adequate circulation is provided. The width of drive
fanes should be indicated on the next submittal. The site plan indicates 100 parking spaces.
5. Screening or buffer zones: The site plan indicates a 6-foot wooden fence along the northern and
the southern property lines. It is unclear if this fence continues along the western boundary of the
property. A more clear depiction of where fencing will be constructed shall be required in the next
submittal. It appears as if the western open space portion of the property may be used as a buffer
zone. Indication of the setback of the building from the western property line on the next submittal
is required.
6. Hours of Operation: It is presumed that since this is facility is proposed to be an independent living
facility there will be limited work hours. Indication of hours of operation should be submitted with
the next submittal.
7. Activities and Uses permitted on the property: The proposed facility will be utilized as an
independent living center for retired persons. This will be the only permitted use. This permitted
use does not allow for multi-family utilization as a normal apartment facility would.
. 8. Building or structure heights: The submitted elevations provide the necessary information.

·
g. Landscaping: Review of the site indicates compliance with the iandscape reguiations of the City of
North Rich/and Hills.
10. Maximum aliowable lot coverage: Calculations showing Ihe impervious and pervious areas of the
lot shall be provided with the next submittal.
11. Pedestrian Circulation: It appears from the sile plan that there is adequate pedestrian circulation on
site and that it adjoins the sidewalk adjacent to Glenview Drive.
12. Signs: The proposed monument sign does not meet the sign regulations of the City of North
Richland Hills. A copy of the monument sign regulations is attached for your review.
13. Mitigation of noise, fumes, odors, vibration, or airborne particles: None associated with the
proposed development.
14. Exterior Lighling: No exterior lighting is proposed on the submitted site plan. If exterior iighting is to
be utilized it shall be shown on the next submittal.
15. Exterior construction materials: This information is provided.
16. Special fire protection measures: Additional fire protection may be required by the building official
during the review of building plans. However, none are required to be shown on the site plan.
e
17. Outside storage and display of merchandise: None associated with the proposed use.
18. Refuse and waste storage: A dumpster at the rear of the building. Screening of the dumpster and
construction materials shall be indicated on the next submittal.
19. lot sizes and dimensions: Please provide this information with the next submittal.
20. Accessory building: None indicated with the proposed development.
It is my understanding that an application for a Planned Development will be filed with the Planning and
Zoning Office. ' To date, this has not occurred. This site plan will be reviewed in conjunction with the
zoning change request at both the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council. Specific
dates of the meetings are contingent on receipt of the application.
As indicated above, there does need to be some revision of the submitted site plan. We will require 15
copies of the revised site plan only. We do not need 15 new copies of the elevations.
If you have any questions, please contact me.

Council Meeting Date: 7/13/98
SubjectPublic Hearing to Consider the Request of .Jim M::Jkens Agenda Number: P7 qR-1R
For a Zoning Change from AG-Agricultural to C1-Commercial
On a Portion of Tract 11B, T. Peck Survey, A-1210.
(Located in the 8700 Block of Davis Blvd.) Ordinance No. 2306
Postponed 6/8/98
This item was postponed at the June 8, 1998 meeting after the public hearing was opened because
the applicant was not represented. Staff has re-advertised this public hearing in the official
newspaper of the city.
Mr. Makens is the agent representing Orval Hall Excavating Company, the owner of the property, and
is requesting the property be rezoned from AG-Agricultural to C1-Commercial. This property is
located on the north side of the new intersection of Precinct Line Road and Davis Boulevard and is
directly adjacent to the city limit lines with Colleyville and Keller, located east and north respectfully.
The property contains approximately 3.74 acres of land.
The applicant originally requested C2-Commercial zoning, but at the May 14, 1998 Planning and
Zoning Commission meeting Mr. Makens submitted a letter changing his request to C 1-Commercial
zoning. The applicant has indicated that the property will be developed as a convenience store with
gasoline sales. At this location, C-1 Commercial zoning would allow a convenience store with
gasoline sales without a Special Use Permit because the property is more than 200' away from
residential property.
All property owners within 200' of this request have been notified. At the June 8, 1998 public hearing
before the City Council, Mr. Robert O'Riley, 9001 Trails Edge Drive, stated that without a site plan
there is no particular need at this time for a zoning change. He stated that the City was reconsidering
zoning regulations all over the City and by the time a site plan comes forward, the types of
businesses in C 1-Commercial may change.
This rezoning request is in accordance with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the City of NRH.
The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this request at its May 14, 1998 meeting and
recommended approval of the request for rezoning to C 1-Commercial.
RECOMMENDA TION:
To hold the required public hearing and consider the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning
Commission.

REQUEST OF LANDES & ASSOCIATES FOR A FINAL PLAT T NOWN
AS LOTS 6 & 7, BLOCK 4, INDUSTRIAL PARK ADDITI OCA TED IN
THE 5600 BLOCK OF RUFE SNOW
APPROVED
7.
ML LeBaron explained that this 1. re tract of land is on the west side of Rufe
Snow Drive, just south of Ea rest Drive. It is being platted as two lots and
one of the issues associa with this plat is that there was a preliminary plat
done on this property· 993 and the three-year time limit has already expired.
A waiver of the tim mit should be considered or the applicant will need to
resubmit anoth reliminary plat. Staff doesn't believe this would be necessary
since no ch ges in development have Occurred. Additionally, two easements
should ncluded on the plat, a five-foot utility easement on the south and a 7-
~ fo tility easement on th.e west.
. ..
L Coy Landes, Landes & Associates presented this request and stated that
they have n.o problem granting the easements Mr. LeBaron discussed.
Additionally, he Would like to change the lot number to run consistent with the
existing addition. It should be changed to 5 & 6, since Man's Best Friend is Lot
4.
Mr. Davis moved, seconded by Mr. Nehring to approve PS 98-23 with the
ch.anges in the lot numbers and adding the requested easements. The motion

Subject: Request of Brad Young of MDK Development r.orpor~tion Agenda Number: P7 qR-?R
for Site Plan Approval to Reduce the Masonry Requirement
at 5411 Hilltop Drive
Mr. Brad Young is the agent representing Cary Vollintine in this site plan approval case. Mr.
Vollintine is the owner of the existing Southwest Storage facility located across the street from the
location of his proposed expansion. Mr. Vollintine would like to expand his business by constructing
a new facility across the street to the west of the existing warehouse facility.
The exterior of the proposed new building does not meet the masonry building requirement of 75%.
The proposed structure utilizes inoperable metal doors. These "false" metal doors serve no other
purpose than to identify the property as a self-storage facility and to reduce the construction costs for
the owner. These doors do not open or access any storage unit. As a result, they cannot be
excluded from calculating the masonry percentage of each elevation. The new regulations, approved
on April 13, 1998, requires site plan approval by the City Council to reduce the percent of masonry
below the required 75% threshold of each elevation.
Mr. Young is requesting approval of this site plan so the owner may use false metal doors on the
exterior instead of masonry as required by the Zoning Ordinance. Staff calculated the percentage of
masonry as follows: 21.53% on the north and south elevations and 14.37% on the east and west
elevations. If the false doors were operable, they would not be included in the percentage
calculation.
In a related issue, the developer is also required to construct a six-foot masonry screening wall for a
distance of approximately 610 feet, along the southern property line where it abuts an existing multi-
family development. However, the owner is only developing the front half of the property. The
developer applied to the Zoning Board of Adjustment asking for a variance to only build
approximately 300 feet of masonry screening wall. The ZBA denied this request.
The Planning & Zoning Commission considered this request at it's June 11, 1998 meeting and
recommended denial. Mr. Young submitted the attached letter requesting consideration by the
Council.

RECOMMENDA TION:
To deny the site plan as recommended by the Planning & Zoning Commission.

REQUEST OF BRAD YOUNG OF MDK DEVELOPMENT CORP. FOR SITE
PLAN APPROVAL TO REDUCE THE MASONRY REQUIREMENT ON LOT 3,
BLOCK 3, T APP ADDITION. (LOCATED IN THE 5400 BLOCK OF HILLTOP
DRIVE)
DENIED
Mr. Brad Young presented his request. He stated that his client would like to
expand the existing mini-warehouses on Hilltop Drive. They would like to keep
the same appearance as the existing warehouses, but this facility will be climate
controlled. They propose to attach non-operable doors on the outside of this
new climate controlled facility that would match the orange doors on the existing
facility. If the doors were operable, they would not need to apply for a reduction
in masonry.
Responding to a question, Mr. Young stated that it would be possible to paint
fake doors on a tilt wall and that the proposed facility would look identical to the
existing facility, but the doors will be inoperable.
Mr. LeBaron stated that this case seems somewhat bureaucratic because if the
doors functioned as doors, this wouldn't be an issue. But since inoperable doors
are proposed in this internally accessed facility, the masonry requirement
becomes an issue.
Responding to a question, Mr. Young stated that the building would be of pre-
cast concrete columns at 10' centers, with "dummy doors" that are identical to
the operable doors on the existing facility. They would be mounted exactly as
the operable doors. Metal liner panels with insulation would be directly behind
the fake doors.
Mr. Bowen, seconded by Mr. Davis, moved to deny PZ 98-26. The motion
carried with a vote of 5 - O. Messrs. Bowen, Davis, Wood, Miller & Ferguson
were in favor of this motion.

Re: Appeal of Planning Commission Decision on Masonry Requirement
Please be advised that Mr. Cary Vollintine, the owner of the land located on Hilltop Drive in North
Richland Hills, described as Lot 3, Block 3, Tapp Addition, zoned 1-2, wishes to continue to seek to
obtain a variance allowing non-operable doors to be used as a primary element of the exterior walls
of the proposed expansion of his self storage facility on Lot 2, Block 3, Tapp Addition, which is across
the street. You have informed us that we must seek a reversal of the planning commission decision
which denied him this option by appealing to the City Council. The wall components between doors
will still be masonry. The proposed non-operable doors will exactly resemble the operable roll up doors
e of the existing facility in look.
We hereby make formal petition to be heard by said City Council in its regular session to present our
case first hand to these citizens of the Council, trusting that they will recognize the validity of our
case.

of the existing facility in look.
We hereby make formal petition to be heard by said City Council in its regular session to present our
case first hand to these citizens of the Council, trusting that they will recognize the validity of our
case.

Department:
Subject: Request of Jim Walker for a Replat of Lot 1 R,
Block 2, Thompson Park Estates AdditIon.
(Located in the 6300 Block of Precinct Line Road)
Council Meeting Date:
7/13/98
Agenda Number:
PS 97-60
Mr. Walker is representing Conoco in this case who wishes to develop this 1.2-acre tract of land into
a convenience store with gasoline sales. The property is located on the west side of Precinct Line
Road, just south of its intersection with Mid-Cities Boulevard. The property is currently zoned C-1
with a Special Use Permit for a convenience store. This Special Use Permit was approved by the
City Council in December 1997.
The Planning & Zoning Commission held the required public hearing on this replat at their June 11,
1998 meeting. A public hearing was held because the Texas Local Government Code requires
public notice and hearing on replatting cases when the property has been zoned for residential land
uses within the last five years.
The issues associated with this replat are as follows:
1. Sewer: Conoco is proposing to tie into a newly constructed sewer main on the BISD property to
the west. At this time the main has not been accepted by the City and is not in service. Before
sewer service is available to this site the appropriate approvals will be required of the BISD sewer
line.
2. Driveway Spacing: The plat submitted is in conformance with the driveway spacing approved by
the City Council in conjunction with the SUP request.
This plat is in conformance with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the City of NRH.
The Planning & Zoning Commission considered this request at it's June 11, 1998 meeting and
recommend approval provided no Certificate of Occupancy is issued until the sewer service at the
high school is available.
RECOMMENDA TION:
To approve the recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Commission for this replat provided no
Certificate of Occupancy is issued until the sewer service at the high school is available.

MEMO TO: Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Julia W. Skare, Staff Engineer
SUBJECT: PS97-60; THOMPSON PARK ESTATES; Block 2, Lot 1 R; Final Plat
We have reviewed the subject documents submitted to this office on May 20, 1998.
The following items are for your consideration.
1. DRAINAGE ANALYSIS The Drainage Analysis is required as outlined in the
Public Works Design Manual. The location of the storm drain stubout from the
box culverts on the BISD site needs to be verified and dimensioned. This will
need to be resolved prior to the plat being placed on the City Council Agenda.
The box culverts are under construction and have not been approved by the
City.
2.
DRAINAGE EASEMENTS All storm drain improvements shall be placed in a
drainage easement. The location of this easement needs to be verified with the
existing storm drainpipe. All storm drain pipe that is conveying surface runoff is
to be designed to the Public Works Design Manual criteria and contained in a
drainage easement. Item #1 needs to be resolved to accurately describe these
easements.
3. SANITARY SEWER The sanitary sewer main is shown to tie into a main located
on the BISD property. This line has been constructed, but at this time has not
been accepted by the City. The sanitary sewer main must be accepted by the
City prior to connection of the sanitary sewer for this lot.
4. DRIVEWAY SPACING The driveway spacing was discussed during the platting
of Thompson Park Estates, Block 1, Lots 26R and 27R and the Special Use
Permit for this lot. It appears the plans submitted are in compliance with the
recommendations made and approved by City Council.
5. TXDOT PERMIT The Plat is bordered by Precinct Line Road (FM 3029), a State
Highway. A TxDOT Access Permit will be required. The TxDOT permit
application must be submitted to Public Works for approval after the plans are
approved and prior to submitting to TxD01.
6.
SIGNATURES The surveyor's seal and signature needs to be added to the
mylar of the Final Plat.

buildable construction plans. The City's eventual approval of the construction plans will
not signify acceptance of responsibility by the City of North Richland Hills for the
engineering in the bid documents.

Subject: Request of Cook Conslllt~nfs for ~ Fin~1 PI~f of J of 1, Rlor.k 1, Agenda Number: P~ QR-11
Waterford Addition. (Located in the 6200 Block of Glenview Drive)
Jack Cook is representing Triad Senior Living in this Final Plat case containing approximately 9.3
acres of land. This property is currently zoned R-7 Multi-family, but the applicant has submitted a
request for rezoning as a planned development. The rezoning request is a separate agenda item.
The issues associated with this Final Plat are as follows:
1. Wetlands: Portions of this property may be considered as wetlands by the Corps of Engineers.
The City must obtain copies of all correspondence between the applicant and the Corps of
Engineers that relate to wetland determination.
2. Drainage: Big Fossil Creek is adjacent to the west property line. Significant portions of the
property are contained within the 1 DO-year flood plain. The developer is proposing to fill portions
of the property to reclaim land area in order to increase the buildable pad site.
3. Street Lighting: The developer has been advised that streetlights are a requirement and will be
coordinating these with the City and with cost paid directly to TU Electric.
4. City Limits: A portion of this plat is located in Haltom City. Since there are no improvements in
the Haltom City portion, Haltom City has waived their review of the plat (see attached letter).
All other engineering comments have been responded to. This plat is in conformance with the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the City of NRH.
The Planning & Zoning Commission considered this request at it's June 11, 1998 meeting and
recommended approval subject to engineer's comments and absolute identification of the location of
the drainage easements prior to the filing of the plat.
RECOMMENDA TION:
To approve the recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Commission provided absolute
identification of the location of the drainage easements are made prior to the plat being filed with the
County.

May 22, 1998
MEMO TO: Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Julia W. Skare, Staff Engineer
SUBJECT: PS98-13; WATERFORD ADDITION; Block 1, Lot 1; Final Plat
We have reviewed the subject documents submitted to this office on May 4, 1998. The
following items are for your consideration. Public Works feels this plat may be placed
on the P & Z Agenda for consideration, although the drainage easement should be
finalized prior to the plat being placed on the City Council Agenda.
1. DRAINAGE ANALYSIS The drainage area map must contain contours to verify
all drainage areas. The off site drainage area map and the on site map are not
consistent. This must be resolved with the next submittal.
e
2.
WETLANDS Documentation should be provided to the City showing
correspondence to the COE and their response.
3. DRAINAGE EASEMENTS The location of the existing 1 DO-year floodplain for
Big Fossil Creek needs to be shown on the grading plan. The location of the
1 DO-year ultimate flood plain needs to be clearly indicated on the plans. This
must be included on the next plat submittal as well as on the plans. This was
previously requested and has not been provided. All public storm drain
improvements are to meet the criteria in the Public Works Design Manual and be
contained in a drainage easement. The plat and plans need to be revised with
the next submittal.
4. OFF SITE EASEMENTS The need for off site easement will be determined after
additional information is provided on the utility plan. If required, all off site
easements and exhibits need to be prepared and forwarded to the Public Works
Department for review. The signed easements need to be transmitted to the
Public Works Department for filing with the approved Final Plat.
--
5. ROW The distance from the back of curb to the ROW line must also be clearly
indicated on the site plan. A minimum of 9.5 feet is required. Additional ROW
may need to be dedicated. This needs to be resolved with the next submittal.

7301 Northeast Loop 820· 817-581-5521. FAX 817-656-7538
e
6.
SITE PLAN The required site plan per the Public Works Design Manual as part
of the Civil Construction Plans submitted with the plat did not indicate the
location and curb return radii of the driveway approach as previously requested.
7. STREET LIGHTING Street Lighting is required by Section 1-06 of the Design
Manual. The locations of any existing streetlights need to be shown on the
topographical drawing to confirm compliance with current ordinances. Any
additional streetlights that may be required based on current ordinances, needs
to be coordinated with Public Works and TU Electric. The developer will pay the
cost for installation of any additional streetlights directly to TU Electric.
8. ENGINEERS CERTIFICATION A signed Engineers Certification (such as the
one included in the Subdivision Ordinance) needs to be included with the
drainage calculation sheet in the construction plans.
9. DETAILS All appropriate details for services will need to be included in the
construction plans. There are several details that have not been included.
10. INSPECTION FEES Inspection fees will be due prior to starting construction.
The current rate is four (4%) percent for water and sewer and three (3%) percent
for streets and drainage.
e
This review was based on preliminary plans and was therefore only cursory. The
intention of this letter is to comment on items of significant importance to the general
concept. A detailed review will be processed when the final plans are submitted.
There are numerous comments regarding the engineering and construction plans. The
comments contained herein do not purport to relinquish the design engineer of their
responsibility to provide adequate, accurate and buildable construction plans. The
City's eventual approval of the construction plans will not signify acceptance of
responsibility by the City of North Richland Hills for the engineering in the bid
documents. The marked-up blue lines need to be returned with the next submittal.

Department: Administration
Council Meeting Date: 07/13/98
Subject: Appointments to the Youth Advisory Committee
Agenda Number: GN 98-69
When the Youth Advisory Committee was created, Council charged the Committee with developing an
application process for future committees. On March 23,1998, the Youth Advisory Committee presented
Council with three alternatives. The alternative selected requires that the Committee solicit applications
and prepare a slate of candidates to be recommended to Council. Five high schools (Richland, Haltom,
Shannon, FW Christian, and Nolan) would be given two alternating two-year terms, and the rest would
be at-large, serving for one year. This guarantees that at least five members will be returning each year,
promoting continuity.
At their June 11, 1998 meeting, the Youth Advisory Committee approved the slate of candidates below
for next year to be recommended to City Council. This was a very difficult decision for them to make. All
schools listed in the by-laws are represented except for the Shannon Learning Center. We did not
receive any applications from students at this institution.

· Of these, Billy Stowolski, Stefani Clary, Blair Stewart, Rebekah Miller, and Robert Hang are
recommended for the two year terms. This represents one from each school, except Richland, which has
two. The second Richland representative replaces the Shannon representative. .
The Committee believes that these candidates represent the diversity requested by the Council. The
recommended list includes eight returning members (in bold) and eight new members. The charts below
represent the diversity as to school and age.

Presentation of Preliminary Financial Plan Agenda Number:
& Preliminary Project Plan and Calling a Public Hearing
to Create a Richland Plaza Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone
GN 98-75
On April 27, Council received the Conceptual Financial Plan to create a Tax Increment Financing (TIF)
District in and around the 42-acre Richland Plaza shopping center development-and authorized staff
to begin preparing the preliminary financing plan and project plan. You will recall that such a district
was proposed to help fund the approximately $950,000 more than the original Mackey Creek Channel
Improvements passed in the City's 1985 Bond Election.
Upon creation of a TIF District, the existing tax value in the designated district would be temporarily
frozen-with all additional improvements dedicated to paying of the Mackey Creek north channel
improvements. The project will be debt financed, with the life of the TIF proceeding until the bonds are
retired. And while all five taxing entities appear to be willing to help share the burden of paying for
these improvements, the City assumes bond oversight and accountability.
Since our last discussion, staff has delivered the Conceptual Financial Plan to each of the other four
local taxing entities and worked with representatives of First Southwest to prepare the attached
preliminary financial plan and preliminary project plan for your review and comment-as required by
State law.
'ith your acceptance of these two proposed plans, staff will provide 50-day notice to each of the other
taxing entities of Council's plan to hold a public hearing on the creation of a tax increment reinvestment
zone on Monday, September 14, 1998 (as also required in the Tax Increment Financing Act).
Each taxing entity will have 15 days after our notification to designate a representative to meet with the
City and begin discussing the specifics of the proposed TIF District in greater detail. Likewise, City staff
must formally present the preliminary plans to the governing body of each taxing entity prior to the
public hearing.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council accept the Richland Plaza TIF District preliminary financing plan and project plan, call a
public hearing for Monday, September 14 and authorize staff to provide the required 60-day notice to
each of the other four taxing entities.

Subject: Waive Collection of NRH Water and Wastewater Impact
Fees for Birdville High School
Agenda Number:PW 98-12
The Birdville High School being constructed at the southwest corner of Precinct Line Road
and Mid-Cities Boulevard will require three meters; 6-inch domestic, 4-inch domestic and
4-inch irrigation meter. The total amount of $106,852.44 is required for all connection fees,
deposits, service charges, Fort Worth Impact/Access Fees, and NRH Impact Fees. The
Fort Worth Impact/Access Fees will have to be paid to Fort Worth (paid by either BISD or
the City's Utility Fund). The NRH water and wastewater impact fees associated with these
three meters total $46,410. These fees represent a portion of the monies described in the
Impact Fee Study to be collected to fund the Impact Fee Capital Improvements Program.
The less the City collects, the less the City will have to reimburse the developers or the
City itself for the future Impact Fee CIP project improvements.
A letter from BISD Superintendent Bob Griggs is attached. He has requested the City
waive all charges to BISD on this high school project, except those charges which are
actual costs to the City which they will have to pay. If the NRH impact fees were
subtracted, BISD would pay $60,442.44.
Recommendation:
That the collection of NRH Water and Wastewater Impact Fees totalling $46,410 be
waived from Birdville Independent School District on the Birdville High School project.

Dear Mr. Cunningham:
By the time you receive this letter (upon return from Texas Municipal
League), I hope I have been able to discuss the issue with you by
telephone.
Enclosed are several items of correspondence that relate to water/sewer
service to the new high school construction. From the highlights on
these documents, you can observe several "impact" fees are being
assessed BISO by the city.
It is my hope that all costs with the exception of actual costs realized by
the City of North Richland Hills would be waived on this new facility. If
I can provide additional information, do not hesitate to call.

. Department: Public Works
Subject: Waive Property Owners' Cost Participation on
Colorado Boulevard Road Humps
Councif Meeting Date: 7/13/98
Agenda Number: PW 98-13
Colorado Boulevard from Harwood Road south to Grapevine Highway is eligible for the
installation of road humps. Two issues in accordance with Ordinance No. 1921 need to be
addressed prior to placement of the road humps.
1. The City will need to notify all adjacent property owners of the proposed action and
ask for a written response in support or objection. If less than 20% of the property
owners object, installation can proceed.
2. The collection of material cost for the road humps from the property owners on this
section of Colorado Boulevard. The property owners are required to pay for the
material cost and the City provides the labor.
Residents of this street requested in December 1997 that the roadway be closed, creating
a "dead end" roadway. Council consensus was to leave the roadway open and let the
residents petition for road humps if they desired. Councilwoman Johnson mentioned that
the City might pay for the road humps, but this comment was not followed up on by any
other Council Member.
After another request from one of the residents for the City to pay for the road humps,
Councilwoman Johnson asked that this be placed on the agenda for consideration. The
City's payment of road humps is contrary to the conditions set out in the ordinance
regulating road humps.
Recommendation:
Deny waiving the adjacent property owners' cost participation for the proposed road
humps on Colorado Boulevard from Harwood Road to Grapevine Highway.

PROCEDURES FOR ROAD HUMP INSTALLATION
1. The initial request for the installation of road humps must originate from the residents living
on the street. A request in writing from a resident or representative must be forwarded to:
Road Hump Program
Director of Public Works
City of North RicWand Hills
P.O. Box 820609
North RicWand Hills, Texas 76180
2. A preliminary determination of eligibility based on available traffic data will be made in a
timely manner.
A. If the street is determined not to be eligible the applicants will be notified in writing
giving the reason.
B.
The decision may be appealed in writing to the Director of Public Works within 15
days of the notification date. The Director will review the determination and
respond to the applicants within 30 days of the appeal request.
C. If the street is determined to be eligible for consideration, a meeting will be
arranged between the applicants and staff to define the petition area, the
approximate road hump location range. The applicants will be instructed to submit
a petition indicating that a minimum of two-thirds of the low density dwelling
households on the street support the installation of road humps as provided in the
Road Hump Ordinance. Only petition forms supplied by the City of North
Richland Hills or exact duplicates may be used for this purpose.
3. After verification of the petitions, the Department will conduct the necessary
transportation engineering studies and solicit comments and recommendations of other
agencies. A determination of the street's eligibility for road hump installation will be made
in a timely manner, based on the Road Hump Ordinance.
A. If the street is determined not to be eligible for road hump installation, the
applicants will be notified in writing giving the reason.
.
.
.
Page Five
B.
C.
The decision may be appealed in the same manner as in Section 2.
If the street is determined to be eligible, the street will be placed on a list of streets
eligible for road hump installation.
4. The City of North RicWand Hills will make a determination of the total installation cost.
5. Once eligible for road hump installation, owners of real property lying within the
notification area will be notified of the action by the City of North RicWand Hills. The
notification area consists of all property with frontage on the street. The notice will
include a return form to indicate support or objection to the proposed installation.
(Section 3, paragraph 5., revised per Ordinance No. 2027, 11/28/94)
6. If owners of20 percent or more of the real property within the notification area object to
the installation within 30 days of the notice, then the street will be removed from the list of
streets eligible for road hump installation and a public hearing will be scheduled at the City
Council. Notification of the hearing will include the applicant(s) and owners ofreal
property within the notification area. In addition, a reasonable effort will be made to
notify each low density residential household along the street and area neighborhood
associations of the public hearing.
7.
If objections from less than 20 percent of the real property within the notification area are
received or the City Council approves the installation after a public hearing, then the City
of North Richland Hills will place the street on a list of streets approved for road hump
installation.
8. Once a street is placed on the list of streets approved for road hump installation the City
will submit a statement to the representative of the residents for the cost of the road hump
installation. Upon receipt of payment of the cost, the humps will be installed as scheduling
permits. If full payment has not been received within one year from the statement date,
the street will be removed from the list of streets approved for road hump installation and
all monies received, if any, returned to the payor.
Until further order of the Council by ordinance, the speed humps price will be as
listed below:
Two humps - $500.00
Three humps - $650.00
Four Humps - $800.00
.
Page Six
After the initial year, the City may review the prices and revise them based on actual staff
data. If no changes are recommended by staff, these prices will be used until formal
modification by Council.

7301 NE Loop 820
North Rich land Hills, Texas 76180
To: Lany 1. Cunningham, City Manager
From: Andy Wallace, President NRHPA
Date: January 30, 1998
Subject: Request to Establish Certification Incentive Pay for Police Officers
Dear Mr. Cunningham,
In 1991, the NRH City Council approved payment for certam educational
achievements. An Associate Degree was to merit $50 per month, as would
60 college semester hours. A Bachelors Degree was to merit $100 per
month. If one chose to accept the $50 per month for 60 semester hours,
without first attaining the Associate Degree, he/she was granted only four
years to acquire the Bachelors Degree, or payments ceased. We currently
have 21 officers with Associate Degrees (or who have 60 semester hours) and
17 officers with Bachelors.
The Police Association is respectfully requesting that you and the City
Council review this proposal for Certification Pay for police officers. A
survey was conducted by the NRHP A from the list of cities provided by the
Human Resources Department. The results are given below in the table
provided. We have also met with Assistant City Manager Randy Shiflet, who
indicated that the sales tax projections for this year look good. We have also
·
met with Chief McGlasson, who advised that he would support this proposal.
During the survey, each of the ten Agencies were asked several questions:
1. Do you have educational pay for police and, if so, how much?
2. Do you have certificate pay for police and, if so, how much?
3. Do you require a degree to become a police officer and what type?
City Educ. Pay Cert. Pay Degree Required
Arlington No No (Det. Pay) Yes (Bachelors)
Bedford No I-$SO A-$lOO M-$lSO No
CarroUton A-$SO B-$lOO 1-$50 A-$lOO Yes (Assoc.)
Denton A-$60 B-$120 M-$180 1-$60 A-$120 M-$180 No
Duncanville J No 1-$50 A-$lOO M-$150 No
Eu!ess (*) A-$SO B-$lOO 1-$20 A-$40 M-$60 No
Grapevine No 1-$50 A-$75 M-$lOO Yes (Bachelors)
Hurst No 1-$40 A-$60 M-$80 No
Irving (*) A-$60 B-$lOO M-$120 A-$60 No
Lewisville B-$100 M-$lS0 I-$SO A-$IOO M-$ISO No
e
Educational Pay: A-Associates, B-BacheJors, M-Masters
Ce!1ificate Pay: I-Intermediate, A-Advanced, M-Master
(.) EuJess and Irving give combined Educational and Certificate Pay
Arlington gives $100 a month for Detective pay
As evidenced by the survey, with the exception of Arlington, whose pay scale
is much higher than NRH because of the degree requirements, we are the only
department among the cities surveyed that does not give incentive pay for
completion of peace officer certificates. Levels of certification are
established by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Standards and
Education (TCLEOSE). A basic license is required in order to become a
peace officer in Texas. No levels above basic are required by the State. (See
attached certification chart).
e
We are proposing that North RicWand Hills pay police officers $50 for
Intermediate, $100 for Advanced and $150 for masters certificates, as over

half of the cities surveyed do. We are no.t requesting that officers be paid
both educational and certificate pay, although two of the surveyed cities do
so. If an officer has both a degree and some type of certificate, the officer
would only be paid the higher of the two. Administrative services personnel
-. compiled a current list of officers and the certificates they have completed:
Master - 15
Advanced - 31 (4 near completion)
Intermediate - 6 (12 near completion)
Using this list, the cost for implementation would be $79,800. However,
several of these officers receive educational pay. Unless the city decided to
pay officers for both, this would reduce the cost of implementation to
approximately $55,000 per year.
We believe that the city of North Richland Hills Management and City
Council have shown in the past that they care about their police officers and
strive to keep them competitive with local agencies, By implementing this
request for certificate pay, this would keep our officers "in-line" with other
local agencies.
If you have any questions about this proposal, please feel rree to contact me
anytime. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Respectfully submitted,

Report of the Youth Advisory Committee
For the City of North Richland Hills
The new Youth Advisory Committee for the City of North Richland Hills has been a
great succèss. At the first meeting, we discussed our budget for future costs. For
example, it was decided to design and purchase shirts for members to wear at
committee events. One of the first public appearances was Head for the Hills. This was
our first adventure to participate in. All went well, even though the weather took a turn
for the worse and the activity was rained out. "Make a Difference Day" was our next
event. Committee members painted address numbers on the curbs of 'Meals on
Wheels' recipients. What started out as small talk with the elderly, ended up to be great
conversation.
At the Volunteer Fair, which was held at Richland High School, we were educated about
many places you can volunteer and at the same time, have great fun. Like Make a
Difference Day, it proved that you could make someone's lives better and have a great
time while doing so.
By-laws were next on out to do list. This took up most of our time for the fact that it was
not only for the present committee, but also for the committee in the future. In addition,
we set up a set of rules and regulations that the committee, as a whole, should follow.
In February, the Youth Advisory Committee developed an application process to get a
better perspective of the upcoming members. We hope to get a wide variety of
members with this system. The application process was approved by the City Council
on March 23,1998.
For a long term community service project, the committee chose Critter Connection.
After going through a long training process, the committee is ready to accept the
challenge. We hope it is a success just like our year has been.
As a fair well to all members who are leaving, we attended a Texas Ranger Game on
April 19, 1998, in celebration of a year of hard work and many more to come.
Not only has the committee done its part for the community, but they have also made
some life long friends. It all began with a mixer at Mountasia. This was a great way for
everyone to get to know each other and have fun at the same time. The day ended with
a round of miniature golf, cold drinks for everyone, and sixteen teenagers ready to make
a difference for their community.
The Youth Advisory Committee has been nothing but a great Success. With all the hard
work we have done and all of the laughs we have shared, the committee has
transformed into great memories. Not only have we made preparations for the future
committees, but we have maintained a since of profile which is a prime example of how
teenagers of the community should be.

Request of North Davis Community Citizens Group for
Discussion Regarding Establishment of an Overlay zone
In the North Davis Boulevard Region.
The North Davis Community Citizens Group made a presentation to the Planning and Zoning
Commission at their June 25, 1998 meeting to discuss possibilities, options, and potential for
the establishment and creation of an overlay zone in the North Davis Boulevard region. The
Citizens Group is interested in refining permitted land uses, enhancing landscaping
regulations, confirming architectural compatibility, and tempering sign regulations to ensure
that development is of high quality, contributes to the tax base, and reduces retail spending
leakage that has historically occurred in the northern part of the City.
The Planning and Zoning Commission responded favorably to their presentation and
recommended the City Council move forward with the establishment of a committee to
develop design criteria and development guidelines for the Northern Gateway Overlay Zone.
The Citizens Group will be presenting a PowerPoint slide show with their ideas and concepts
for the City Council to consider at the meeting. No public notice has been given since no
ordinance changes are proposed at this time.
. Attached are the minutes from the June 25, 1998 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.

REQUEST OF THE NORTH DAVIS COMMUNITY CITIZENS GROUP FOR
DISCUSSION REGARDING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN OVERLAY ZONE
IN THE NORTH DAVIS BOULEVARD REGION
APPROVED
Mr. Peter Churcher thanked the Commissioners for the opportunity to speak. He
informed them that they have prepared a PowerPoint presentation and have
done their best to fulfill the request the Commission made in putting together
ideas and discussing them with landowners in the area.
Mr. Churcher stated that they would like to implement an overlay zone in the
North Davis Boulevard Corridor, which extends from the City boundaries at the
northeast corner of NRH and extends to Green Valley to the south and Precinct
Line Road to the east.
The presentation consisted of ideas in signage, landscaping, architecture,
screening fences, passive parks and greenbelts and tree conservation. The
presentation outlined the benefits that an overlay zone of this caliber would bring
. to the City.
Mr. Barfield complimented the group for their presentation, stating this was the
best presentation he had seen from a citizens group.
Mr. Davis commended the group for their presentation and stated he was ready
to take it to the next step and asked Mr. Churcher what they anticipated
happening.
Mr. Churcher stated it is the group's hope that the Planning & Zoning
Commission will endorse the group's idea to the City Council.
Mr. Davis stated that he would like to endorse this proposal and ask the City
Council to set aside staff and funds necessary to develop the design criteria and
design specifications, as outüned in this proposal for a Northern Gateway
Overlay Zone, made up of people that's mentioned in the proposal, Le., staff
members, P&Z Commissioners, Parks Board members, design consultants,
commercial stakeholders and people from the homeowners group.

Mr. Davis stated that he invisions this group meeting for the next 4 _ 6 months to
get the design criteria, actual limits of the corridor, landscaping, architectural and
signage requirements, etc. actually established. Once that "package" is
complete, a public hearing would be required and the overlay zone could move
forward.
Mr. Davis stated that he is asking the Council to set aside funds and staff that
are necessary to move forward with an establishment of a committee to develop
the design criteria and development guidelines for the Northern Gateway Overlay
Zone as outlined in the North Davis Citizens Groups presentation. The intent is
to develop a document that will establish building/development guidelines for this
part of the City.

Possible Changes to Landscaping & Sign Regulations
After recent discussions involving the City Council, City staff and hearing
concerns expressed by a number of residents regarding landscaping, signs and
other development criteria primarily on major cooridors in our city, the staff has
been working on options for addressing these concerns. We realize that an Ad-
Hoc Committee is being formed to review and recommend any long term
changes that might be needed in these and other areas.
Until the Ad-Hoc Committee can meet and formulate recommendations to the
Council, we would propose that and "Interim Review Committee" of City staff be
authorized to meet with any prospective developers along our corridor areas and
negotiate with them for higher landscaping standards and lower profile sign sizes
and heights, encouraging monument signs in many cases.
In order to expedite changes when they are identified, it would be advisable to
consider removing the landscaping and sign regulations from the Comprehensive
Zoning Regulations and placing them in separate City Ordinances. In order to
achieve this, public hearings must be held by the Planning and Zoning
Commission and the City Council since we would be changing the Zoning
Regulations. Notifications of the public hearings could be made concurrently to
expedite this process.
If the City Council desires to begin this process, staff can begin working on the
replacement ordinances and the public hearing process for the two bodies.
Attached are "sample" regulations that show a comparison to our current
regulations. The "sample" regulations would be used to establish interim
guidelines for the staff Committee to use and also as the basis for developing the
ordinances that would replace the current Landscaping and Sign Regulations.
Staff is seeking Council direction on proceeding with an "Interim Review
Committee" to negotiate with prospective developers until more appropriate
standards are in place. Staff is also seeking Council consensus to proceed with
the public hearings and related notifications to consider removing from the
Comprehensive Zoning Regulations and placing the Landscaping and Sign
Regulations of that document into separate City Ordinances regulating these
areas. If Council consensus is to proceed with these, steps will be taken to
initiate both.
