INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 96-30 +' , Date: Subject: March 25, 1996 Smithfield Area Feasibility Study Last year the City Council authorized the preparation of a preliminary feasibility study of the Smithfield area to determine the potential for establishing an historical/tourism district in this area. Attached is a copy of the completed document for your review. This effort represents only a basic overview of development potentials for the area rather than an exhaustive and detailed study analysis, but points out potential opportunities which could be the basis for future development. In summary, the document describes the economic benefits to the community for capitalizing on the extension of the Tarantula Railroad from the Stockyards area in Fort Worth to Grapevine by establishing a "watering stop" in North.Richland Hills. The route through North Richland Hills crosses Davis Boulevard at a location where land is available for private development of businesses that could benefit from the "watering stop". The feasibility study offers several options for local officials to consider in determining the best development plan for the area. These options include the following, which are described in detail in the document: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Development of a pavilion depot Preservation of the old "Feed Store" building Development of a walking tour through the area Development of a staging area for destination attractions Incorporate hiking and biking trails system in the area Develop a farmers market Encourage restaurants, retail shops, and antique shops Bed and Breakfast potential Encourage historic streetscape design elements Encourage historical theme This document was prepared by the firm of Municipal Planning Resources Group who has provided professional assistance to North Richland Hills for the past eight years. Representatives of the firm are available upon request by the City Council to discuss this planning document and answer questions regarding any further actions required for implementation. City management recommends accepting this study and retaining it for future consideration, if the Tarantula Railroad does establish a stop in North Richland Hills, and for guidance as the area develops. Respectfully, ~~~ Randy Shiflet Assistant City Manager ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS e . . INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 96-31 1\ ~ V Date: March 25, 1996 Subject: Transitional Housing for the Indigent - Request for Waiver of Property Taxes Open Arms Home Inc. has requested that the City Council provide exemption from property taxes of two houses in North Richland Hills currently being leased from HUD for use as transitional housing for homeless families. The properties have been exempted in the past by the City Council, and this request is for a renewal of the expired exemptions. Currently, Open Arms Home Inc. has one property in the City that has an active exemption. The two properties requested for renewal are: Location Taxable Value City Taxes 1. 7705 Buck Street $57,800 $329 2. 5010 Maryanna Way $45,300 $239 In total, the City has four active exemptions under this provision of the tax code, with abated tax revenues totaling $1,339. Please let me know if you want me to place this item on the next City Council agenda. fX ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 96-33 e \ ,¡ ~ \. i Date: March 25, 1996 Subject: Walter and Clift Street The attached letter addresses the condition of two county type streets that have access to Amundson Drive. The cost of reconstruction of these two streets will be approximately $17,000. The cost of a 31' residential street with curb and gutter would be $434,700. You might recall the County had a repair program for these type streets at one time. They no longer do maintenance type work in cities but help with streets like Holiday Lane, Industrial Boulevard, and now possibly Rumfield Road. There are approximately 20 miles of streets like these two in our City. They were not built to City specifications and continued maintenance will be more expensive than most of our residential streets. Some of these will probably be replaced as development occurs but the remainder will be a major financial consideration. If we reconstruct as a county section, the cost is approximately $110,000 a mile. Streets that are in a condition equal to or worse than the above are Eden Road, Rumfield, e Cardinal Lane, and Kirk Lane. These streets carry a much larger volume than Clift or Walter. To help defray the cost of future reconstruction of county type roads, we should alter building policy. A fee of $15 per front foot, charged when a building permit is issued and escrowed until road improvement, should be considered on all unimproved streets. Covenants should still be required, regarding the possibility of our standard residential street being constructed. I would suggest you look at Walter and Clift Streets before Monday night, if you have the opportunity. The people from this neighborhood will be present at the meeting. Respectfully submitted, tit· C.A. Sanford City Manager CAS/gp e .. ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS e Æ:;;; q~ February 28, 1996 Office of the Mayor (Tommy Brown) and City Council P. O. Box 820609 North Richland Hills, TX 76182-0609 Mr. Mayor and City Council, I need your help. My street (Clift St.) and the connecting street (Walter) are in need of repair. You have acknowledged these streets need repair and have stated something would be done "next" year several times. I have included prior correspondence in Attachment (3) that dates back to 1992. Now four years after my first request for help, I'm writing again. e Attachment (1) is a rough drawing/map of the two streets. On the map, I have noted some of the holes, ruts, and broken surfaces which are captured on film and displayed in Attachment (2). Some of these "bad" spots resulted from the digging the city did installing water and sewer lines. The asphalt thrown over the trench has sunk as much as four inches [see photo 7, Attachment (2)] as an example. The road surface is an inch of asphalt on top of dirt and cannot withstand the weight of a heavy truck such as Laidlaw Trash haulers. When it rains, the road surface becomes soft. Even light-weight traffic such as postal trucks destroy the road surface. [See photo 2 and 3, Attachment (2)]. I am requesting your immediate attention and repair of all the "bad" spots on Clift St. and Walter. The road surface needs to be a smooth and safe surface able to withstand traffic. I request the status of these streets on the county's list for reconstruction. Reconstruction means tear out base preparation and re-surface with several inches of asphalt. This surface should be wide enough for two vehicles to pass safely. The stretch of Amundson from Walter west past Clift St. is also in need ofrepair. This road carries too much traffic for its size and condition. As a taxpayer, I feel these are fair and reasonable requests. e e Page 2 I fmd it interesting that in the four years since I have been asking for your help, the city has found a way to build a waterpark, buy new buildings, build new administrative facilities (increase the size of city government) and raise taxes, but can't fmd a way to improve two small streets. Councilman Oujesky is always preaching on "city cable" about NRH Proud. I want to be ~ Proud. I ask you to make me proud. Please fIx these streets. I will be happy to meet with you and show you the problem spots. Please call me at 281-0249. My mends and neighbors agree. When the streets are repaired, I will host a street party.

The City is beginning its summer program of street restoration. The Public Works Department will be utilizing a contractor to lime stabilize several residential streets in town before the staff overlays the street with 2-inches of hot mix asphaltic concrete. Your street is not included in this summer's program. We hope to get to it and Walter Street next summer (1995). If you have any questions, please contact my office at 581-5521.

We are now at the sixth week and nothing has been done to repair these streets which were torn up by city crews. . I have repeatedly talked to city personnel and everyone agrees the streets need repair. If everyone agrees, let's do somethinq. The street is so narrow vehicles must go off the surface (into the mud) to pass each other. Several people have been stuck in the mud as a result. It is time to fix the road for safe and clean travel. I will be glad to personally meet with you or other city personnel to show you the problem. Your action'on this is needed immediately.

Box 820609 North Richland Hills, Texas 76182-0609 Dear Mr. Mayor, I am writing to personally request your help concerning problems with the road surface on my street - Clift st. The city completed the installation of a new, larger water line on Clift st. and also on Walter for which I am very pleased. The installation of the water line, accompanied with extremely wet weather, has virtually destroyed Clift and Walter streets. When it is wet, it is a muddy mess. Even in the best of weather, only one vehicle can pass along the road surface. On the next rainy day, please drive out to Clift and Walter streets, get your car muddy, tear the road up a little more and see for yourself how bad the streets really are. I don't think you will be very happy/proud to have streets like this in your city. I know I am not very happy to drive down my street, mess up my car and pay the hefty taxes I have to pay. I need your help. Something needs to be done to fix up this mess. I don't want a new "high" dollar street with curbs, etc., but it would be fair to have a newly surfaced street which would be wide enough and safe enough for two vehicles to pass and one in which your basic service such as garbage pick-up would not tear up on a regular basis. Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated. Please contact me at home, 281-0249, or at work, 935-5101. - ft Street 76180-4208 e W.R. Burton 6921 Clift Street North Richland Hills, TX 76180-4208 4 January 1992 Office of the Mayor Tommy Brown P.O. Box 820609 North Richland Hills, Texas 76182-0609 Dear Mr. Mayor, I want to thank you for your previous responses and actions to my calls on the Mayor's Action Line. I agree with your establishment of the Action Line. It shows what team work can accomplish in our city. I am writing to personally request your help concerning problems with the road surface on my street - Clift st. I have contacted the action line concerning improvementsj maintenance on my street, but little action has been taken. e The street is very narrow and in poor shape relative to most streets in our city. The street is so narrow two cars cannot pass without leaving the road surface. The garbage trucks tear up our street on each visit. The excuse I have been given from the city for poor maintenance and lack of improvement is that few people live on our street and it is low priority. Tracks of property are larger than normal and as a result, fewer people do reside on our street. For the same reason, our taxes are significant. My taxes are very high relative to the quality of city services provided in my immediate area. I don't want a new "high" dollar street with curbs, etc., but it would be fair to have a newly surfaced street which would be wide enough and safe enough for two vehicles to pass and one in which your basic service such as garbage pick-up would not tear up on a regular basis. Your help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. If I can answer questions or provide names of other residents on my street who share my same concerns, please contact me at home, 281- 0249, or at work 935-5101. e Burton Clift street TX 76180-4208 : ! ~~ , ~.

CITY OF N*RTH RICHLAND HILLS January 29, 1996 MEMO TO: Barry LeBaron Director of Planning and Inspection Services FROM: Julia W. Skare, P.E. Staff Engineer SUBJECT: PS96-02; BRADLEY ADDITION; Block 1, Lots 1 & 2; Final Plat We have reviewed the subject documents submitted to this office on January 16, 1996. The following items are for your consideration. DUE TO THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE OUTSTANDING ITEMS, WE FEEL THAT THIS PLAT SHOULD NOT BE PLACED ON AGENDA FOR P & Z CONSIDERATION. 1. As indicated on the Preliminary Plat, there is still sufficient error in the survey to create inadequate closure. This needs to be resolved before the plat is submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commission. 2. The appropriate signatures need to be added to the Owner's Acknowledgment and Dedication. In addition the Surveyor's seal and signature need to be added to the plat. 3. This plat needs to include the NAD83 Texas State Plane Coordinates for a least two property corners; only one has been shown. The coordinates need to be determined by a survey tied to the City's GPS monuments. This needs to be accomplished before the plat is submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commission. 4. The Design Manual contains criteria for necessary fire hydrant coverage. All existing fire hydrants need to be shown on the topographical drawing. Appropriate coverage radii for the applicable fire hydrants also need to be included. This will assist Public Works in determining the need for additional fire hydrants. City Utility maps indicate there are fire hydrants located at Douglas Lane and Hightower Drive and 400 feet north of Lot 1. These hydrants need to be verified and shown on the topographical drawing. 5. The Master Drainage Plan indicates there may be a need for additional drainage improvements associated with this plat along the east property line. A covenant will need to be signed for future drainage improvements. If and when the property is regraded, additional drainage analysis may be required. P.O. Box 820609 * North Richland Hills, Texas * 76182-0609 7301 Northeast Loop 820 * 817-581-5500 * FAX 817-656-7503 . . 9. 6. Douglas Lane is aesignated as a C2U on the Master 1 r loroughfare Plan. This designation requires an 60 foot ultimate right-of-way. The ultimate right-of-way requirement is a total of 30 feet east of the existing centerline. Iron pins need to be located on the west as well as the east side of Douglas Lane to verify the ROW. This needs to be accomplished before the plat is submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commission. 7. This plat fronts on Douglas Lane. Douglas Lane needs to be improved to provide curb and gutter along the east right-of-way. The Subdivision Ordinance requires that the Developer provide his portion of these improvements or place money in escrow for future improvements by the City. A covenant may be requested in lieu of the escrow, but would require approval of the City Council. The approximate escrow amount is $116.50 per foot for 305.8 feet of frontage totaling $35,625.70. 8. The Zoning Ordinance requires sidewalks adjacent to all public streets. If and when the property is developed, sidewalks will need to be added to the construction plans for coordination purposes. Sidewalks not adjacent to masonry walls may be constructed with the improvement of each individual lot. It is important to have the sidewalks shown on the street plans so that the utilities will not be constructed to interfere with the future sidewalk. If the street is to be constructed later, money for the sidewalk may also be placed in escrow. If a covenant is signed for future paving improvements, the sidewalk may be included. As discussed with the Preliminary Plat, 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 which may be required based on current ordinances need 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. There are a few additional comments recorded on the plat that was returned to the Engineer for revision. The marked-up blue line needs to be returned with the next submittal. ~ -JY.~ . Jul W.

CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: Planning and Inspections - Council Meeting Date: 3/25/96 Subject: Rp.q!Jp.~t of Stp.vP. Pace for Final Plat of Lot 1. Block 1. Pace Agenda Number: PS 96-05 Acres Addition. (Located in the 8400 block of Shady Grove Road.) Steve Pace is the owner of a 2.1613 acre tract of land located in the 8400 block of Shady Grove Road. Mr. Pace has submitted a Final Plat of the property for consideration by the City Council. The Final Plat would create one lot. The following are the major items regarding this Final Plat. Other comments are included in the attached engineering comments. 1. This property is presently zoned AG Agriculture. The Subdivision Regulations require that any property proposed for d~velop~ent ~e rezoned ~o an. ap~ro~riate zoni~g district. Howev~r. .the requirement to change the zoning desIgnation to a residentIal dlstnct was waived by the ÇQm.mIS§IQrl uJ2Q!J approvª' of the Preliminary Plat. 2. This property is served by a 2-inch line from the McKee water system, a private water system to the west. If the developer installs a septic system, this water service is acceptable. If not, a service connection to the 16-inch main in Shady Grove Road will be required. The owner has submitted a request for a septic system to the Tarrant County Health Department. A final determination will be made after a system design is submitted to the Public Works Department. . 3. The Subdivision Regulations require the developer provide improvements to the portion of Shady Grove Road along this property's frontage, or place money in escrow for future improvements by the City. The developer has requested a covenant for these improvements. 4. A fire hydrant needs to be installed on the North Richland Hills side of Shady Grove Road to provide adequate fire protection service to this property. The developer has been provided with a cost estimate for City crews to install the hydrant. The developer understands that he must place the money in escrow before the City will install of the hydrant. A building permit for a house will not be issued until the installation of the hydrant has started. The developer has responded to all engineering comments. The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this Final Plat at its March 14, 1996, meeting and recommended approval subject to engineering comments, allowing the owner to use the McKee water system if a septic system is approved, a covenant for improvements to Shady Grove Road, and installing a fire hydrant adjacent to the property.

CITY OF N$RTH RICHLAND HILLS . . 6. . February 20,1996 MEMO TO: Barry LeBaron Director of Planning and Inspection Services FROM: Julia W. Skare, P.E. Staff Engineer SUBJECT: PS96-05; PACE ACRES; Block 1, Lot 1; Final Plat We have reviewed the subject documents submitted to this office on February 9, 1996. The following items are for your consideration. DUE TO THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE OUTSTANDING ITEMS, WE FEEL THAT THIS PLAT SHOULD NOT BE PLACED ON AGENDA FOR P & Z CONSIDERATION. 1 . The signature blocks need to be corrected. Examples may be found in Section 1-03 of the Subdivision Ordinance. 2. The appropriate signatures need to be added to the Owner's Acknowledgment and Dedication. 3. There appears to be sufficient error in the survey to create inadequate closure. This needs to be resolved with the next submittal. 4. All offsite easements and exhibits need to be prepared and forwarded to the Public Works Department for review. The metes and bounds description describes the centerline of the easement. The description needs to show curve information including the delta, length, tangent, chord length, and chord bearing. The description also needs to state the easement is 7.5 feet from the described centerline. The signed easement, on the City form, needs to be transmitted to the Public Works Department for filing with the approved Final Plat. A copy of the sanitary sewer easement form is attached. The easement will need to include the purchase price. 5. Shady Grove Road is designated as a C2U on the Master Thoroughfare Plan. This designation requires a 60 foot ultimate right-of-way. The ultimate right-of-way requirement is a total of 30 feet south of the existing centerline. As previously requested, iron pins need to be located and the dimensions shown, to tie the north side with the centerline of Shady Grove Road. This needs to be shown on the next plat submittal. The water layout shows water service from the McKee 2" water main. North Richland Hills sewer services are billed with the water service. A NRH water meter and service will need to be connected to the City's existing 16" water main. P.O. Box 820609 · North Richland Hills, Texas · 76182-0609 7301 Northeast Loop 820 * 817-581-5500 * FAX 817-656-7503 7. This plat fronts on Shaay Grove Road. Shady Grove Road rleeds to be improved to provide curb and gutter along the south right-of-way. The Subdivision Ordinance requires that the Developer provide his portion of these improvements or place money in escrow for future improvements by the City. A covenant may be requested in lieu of the escrow but would require City Council approval. 8. The Zoning Ordinance requires sidewalks adjacent to all public streets. If and when the property is developed, the sidewalks need to be shown on the construction plans for coordination purposes. It is important to have the sidewalks shown on the street plans in order to avoid a conflict with utilities. The sidewalk improvements may be included with the street covenant or escrow. 9. The fire hydrant shown on the water layout with a 500 foot radius does not fully cover the property. This fire hydrant is located on the north side of Shady Grove Road, which is the City of Keller. A fire hydrant needs to be placed on the south side of Shady Grove Road in North Richland Hills. 10. An Engineers Certification (such as the one included in the Subdivision Ordinance) needs to be added to the drainage calculation sheet in the construction plans. 11. The appropriate details for services need to be included in the construction plans. Note that the details included in the Design Manual do not contain any logos other than that of the City of North Richland Hills. It is therefore recommended that the details be used in their entirety. 12. Inspection fees will be due prior to starting construction. The current rate is four percent for water and sewer and three percent for streets and drainage. There are a few comments regarding the engineering and construction plans. These comments are recorded on a set of blueline construction plans. These plans have been returned to the Engineer for revision. 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. ~J;r.~ Juli W. Skare, P.Et Staff Engineer JS\pwm96026 cc: Kevin B.

Public Works has received a fax copy of the Soil Test Report and Specific Requirements from Tarrant County Health Department. Before a final determination can be made regarding the septic tank and absorption field, we will need a site specific design sealed by a Septic Tank Designer licensed by the TNRCC. The site plan needs'to include, but not limited to the size and location of property lines, house, septic tank, lateral field, accessory buildings and potable water services. 3. The water layout shows water service from the McKee 2" water main. If a septic system is installed, the current water system is acceptable. If in the future there'S a connection made to city sewer, then the property will require a water service connection to the City's existing 16" water line in Shady Grove Road. 4. This plat fronts on Shady Grove Road. Shady Grove Road needs to be improved to provide curb and gutter along the south right-of-way. The Subdivision Ordinance requires that the Developer provide his portion of these improvements or place money in escrow for future improvements by the City.

(Located at the end of Hightower Drive, east of Davis Boulevard) . PS 96-06 Steve and Vicki Weinberg are the owners of a 30.8272 acre tract of land located at the end of Hightower Drive, east of Davis Boulevard. The Weinberg's have submitted a Final Plat of the property for consideration by the City Council. The Final Plat would subdivide the property into 114 lots. The following are the major items regarding this Final Plat. Other comments are included in the attached engineering comments. 1. This property is presently zoned R-3 Single Family Residential and R-3-1600 Single Family Residential. The R-3 district requires a minimum lot size of 7,500 square feet and a minimum dwelling unit size of 1,600 square feet. The proposed development appears to meet the minimum requirements of the district. 2. A masonry screening wall is required along this property's frontage on Hightower Drive. The Subdivision Regulations require a masonry screening wall along all residential lots that have frontage on a C4U or larger street. . 3. The developer is responsible for the construction of Hightower Drive along this property's frontage. The developer has requested City participation in the acquisition of right of way and construction costs for Hightower Drive adjacent to the property to the west. Only the north half of a 200-foot section of Hightower Drive is constructed to the west of the proposed subdivision (see attached exhibit). The developer has also requested participation in the oversizing of the street, as allowed by the Subdivision Regulations. A letter from the developer addressing these issues is attached. The developer has responded to all engineering comments. The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this Final Plat at its March 14, 1996 meeting and recommended approval subject to engineering comments. The Commission also recommended that the City Council consider participating in the cost to oversize Hightower Drive and acquire any necessary right of way west of the property.

'" March 4,' 1996 MEMO TO: Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Julia W. Skare, P.E. Staff Engineer SUBJECT: PS96-06; EDEN ADDITION; Block 1, Lots 1-3; Block 2, Lots 1-14; Block 3, Lots 1-26; Block 4, Lots 1-48; Block 5, Lots 1-3; Block 6, Lots 1-20; Final Plat and Construction Plans We have reviewed the subject documents submitted to this office on February 12, 1996. The following items are for your consideration. . 1. The appropriate signatures need to be added to the Owner's Acknowledgment and Dedication. In addition the surveyor's seal and signature need to be added to the plat. 2. There are several street intersections which will require sidewalk and utility easements as defined in the Design Manual. The easements need to be clearly indicated on the plat. 3. The current zoning needs to be clearly indicated on the face of the plat. This includes the proposed lots and the adjacent lots. The area for each lot, expressed in square feet, shall be shown on the plat drawing. 4. Drainage easements are only required if there is a need for a drainage pipe or flume. The grading plan will need to be adjusted and there may be a need for additional drainage easements. 5. Public Works is currently reviewing the CLOMR. Following Public Works review and approval of the CLOMR, it will be forwarded to FEMA. A positive response from FEMA on the CLOMR is required before work in the floodplain will be allowed. A LOMR must be submitted to Public Works prior to building permits being issued. A positive response from FEMA for the LOMR will be required prior to issuing building permits for lots in the flood plain. . P.O. Box 820609 * North Richland Hills, Texas * 76182-0609 7301 Northeast Loop 820 * 817-581-5500 * FAX 817-656-7503 6. The Zoning Ordinance requires sidewalks adjacent to all public streets. The sidewalks need to be added to the construction plans for coordination purposes. Sidewalks not adjacent to masonry walls may be constructed with the improvement of each individual lot. It is important to have the sidewalks shown on the street plans so that the utilities will not be constructed to interfere with the future sidewalk. 7. Street Lighting is required by section 1-06 of the Design Manual. The locations of any existing street lights as well as the proposed street lights need to be shown on a separate plan sheet. The cost for installation of the additional street lights will be paid by the developer directly to TU Electric. 8. Appropriate coverage radii for the applicable fire hydrants need to be included on the construction plans. This will assist Public Works in determining the need for additional fire hydrants. 9. An Engineers Certification (such as the one included in the Subdivision Ordinance) needs to be added to the drainage calculation sheet in the construction plans. In addition, all construction drawings will need to be properly signed and sealed by a Registered Professional Engineer prior to approval. 10. A letter was received February 8, 1996 from the Developer requesting City participation for the undeveloped section of Hightower immediately west of this site. The Developer is also requesting participation by the City for the extra pavement width immediately adjacent to this site. We have reviewed the existing documents and found no evidence of previous escrow or pro-rata agreements which would subsidize the offsite construction cost. 11. There is an existing Ballard Drive ROW dedication. This needs to be shown with volume and page. Any changes to this ROW must be clearly shown on the Final Plat. 12. The City of North Richland Hills has adopted water and sewer impact fees. In general these fees are due from the Builder (at the time of construction) and therefor do not significantly impact on the Developer. There are some projects however which require the construction of Public Water and Sewer facilities. If those facilities are included in the City's 10 year plan, then there may be City participation available. 13. Inspection fees will be due prior to starting construction. The current rate is four percent for water and sewer and three percent for streets and drainage. . . . 10 14. Current EPA regulations require that an NPDES permit be obtained prior to beginning construction. The owner and contractor are both responsible for obtaining the permit. The Owner should therefor request information from the EPA to determine the necessary steps for filing an application for an EPA- NPDES Permit. There are numerous comments regarding the engineering and construction plans. These comments are recorded on a set of blueline construction plans. These plans have been returned to the Engineer for revision. 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. ~;o/Jr. fwD-^--'- Juli . Skare, P.E. Staff Engineer JS\pwm96032 cc: Kevin B.

Loop 820 North Richland Hills, Texas 76180 Attn: Greg Dickens, Public Works' Director Reference: HIGHTOWER IMPROVEMENTS EDEN ADDITION - FOURTH FILING Enclosed are Preliminary Cost Estimates prepared by our Engineers regarding the necessary improvements related to the Hightower Drive extension. We are prepared to pay for our portion of the improvements regarding our property. The costs reflected are the results from your meeting with our Engineers on January 31, 1996. As City Staff desires. the construction of the southern half of Hightower Drive through our property will also require the construction of the southern half of Hightower Drive across the adjacent property to the west of our property. As we understand, the property west of ours has not been platted and no pro-rata fees have been collected for this portion of Hightower Drive (approximately 222 feet). There also exists a question regarding the necessary right-of-way to accomplish the construction. The current owner's Warranty Deed reflects their acquisition to the south line of Hightower which would provide adequate right-of-way, however no dedication document has been recorded and a question remains if this property as rel1ected in the attached exhibit still is under ownership of the previous owner. In order for us to construct our portion of Hightower, we therefore request participation in the acquisition of needed right-of-way, construction cost of the adjacent property, and oversizing of the adjacent property and our property, which would total approximately $22,442.50 excluding right-of-way acquisition. If the City desires to improve the northern paving section currently in existence across the adjacent property and continuing approximately 215 feet east of our west property line, as was the case on a previous subdivision west of us, the approximate cost is S8,850.OO. These cost are estimates based on actual construction cost in,=urr~tj on Eden Addition Third Filing. We also understand the property along the northern right-of-way line of Hightower Drive has been platted and our Engineers had requested your investigation if pro-rata fees have been collected or a covenant letter had been executed. 1 . (1F t -r_~ Your expedient response to these issues would be deeply appreciated. Should you have any questions regarding the estimates contact Mr. Jackey Fluitt at 817/485-07Uï.

Approval of Ordinance Number 2108 will also adopt certain amendments recommended by the Regional Codes Committee of the North Central Texas Council of Governments. These amendments were recommended because certain electrical regulations as proposed were deemed impractical for cities in the north central Texas area. Other cities in the area are also operating under the 1993 National Electric Code and approval of Ordinance 2108 will make electrical installations consistent with those in neighboring cities. Notices were mailed to all Master Electricians registered with North Rich/and Hills advising them of the proposed change. All comments received were supportive of the 1993 National Electric Code.

The intent of the Committee is that a portion of the portfolio currently invested in Texpool would be transferred to LOGIC, an investment pool of political subdivisions of the State of Texas, administered by Southwest Securities. LOGIC has a rating of AAA, and all funds invested can be withdrawn on a daily basis. As of March 1, 1996, a total of seventy-six cities, counties and school districts had over $725 million invested at LOGIC. To invest in LOGIC, the City must enter into an interlocal agreement with the other participants of the Investment Cooperative.

Department: Parks and Recreation Department Council Meeting Date: 3-25-96 Subject: Trees for Tots Program Agenda Number: GN 96-38 At the 1995 Budget Workshop, based on a suggestion by Councilwoman Sansoucie, City Council requested City Staff to research the possibility of developing and implementing a tree planting program aimed at recognizing newborns, our newest citizens. Based on records from North Hills Hospital, an estimated 180 births of new residents occur at their hospital annually. Birth estimates for residents of North Richland Hills at other hospitals are not available. As a part of the proposed "Trees for Tots" program, trees will be planted within developed parks during our City's Arbor Week Celebration held each year. This annual celebration is scheduled for the third week of March. Participants in the program will complete a registration card made available at City Hall and other municipal buildings requesting that a tree be planted in their child's name. The program will be exclusively for residents of North Richland Hills and all participants will receive a certificate documenting that a tree has been planted. The initial cost of the program for FY 95/96 is estimated at $1,000 for development, implementation and registration. Based on the estimated number of births in North Richland Hills, staff estimates an annual cost for FY 96/97 of $10,000. The estimated cost is calculated by multiplying the amount of births (180) by the $50 cost of each tree, in addition to allowing for a 10% contingency. Tree sizes range from %" to 3/4" in caliper. This cost assumes that not every resident will participate. The number of registration forms received the first year will provide historical data to quantify the funding needed to continue the program. To initiate this program, it will be necessary to provide funds to begin program development. Funds for such a program are available in the General Public Improvements account of the Donations Fund. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that City Council approve and implement the "Trees For Tots" Program on an annual basis and authorize $1,000 from the Donations Fund 95/96.

Director Page 1 of ~ CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: Adm inistration Council Meeting Date: Subject: Change Order NO.6 - City Hall Project Agenda Number: 3/25/96 GN 96-39 During the Budget Retreat in August of 1995 there was discussion of the possible need for additional funds to complete the renovation for the new computer area, communicatbns and costs associated with move-in to the City Hall. This included funding necessary for computer and communications related enhancements such as cabling, electrical, special flooring and additional heating & air conditioning requirements. The specific enhancements had not been finalized awaiting the new computer Director's final plans for the area. At the request of city management and after discussion by Council, staff was directed to place additional funds from the City Council's budget and 1994-95 ending balance into a City Hall contingency account to cover these costs. That provided approximately $263,000 for these projects. The construction is now to the point that approval of a change order is necessary to proceed with these projects in detail as previously approved by the City Council in concept. The attached change order from R.C. Small & Associates in the amount of $148,601 includes all changes necessary to complete the computer room project. In addition, this change order includes additional lectrical requirements for building and grounds Christmas lighting of the City Hall Complex. The change order also includes additional costs necessary to upgrade the floor covering (carpet and tile) in the new addition. This is necessary to provide an extended life cycle of the flooring, improve maintenance of the flooring and enhance the appearance of the complex. Funds were also allocated in this budget for painting the exterior of the existing City Hall to match the new building. This was held until near completion so that the entire complex could be painted at the same time, assuring an exact match of colors. A brick enclosure around the HV AC & Generator, located on the north side of the complex, is required to provide adequate security for this equipment. During the cold weather earlier this year the contractor had the option of closing the project for bad weather days. Rather than shutting down the job, city staff authorized Polyethylene Closures (plastic) over the window openings. This cost $2,060.00 and Drapery Tracks were added to install blinds over the windows for a cost of $1,454.57.

The equipment time discrepancies are on the 911 system, ANI/All displays, the radio console, Dictaphone recorder, and the MDT/CAD system. It is extremely difficult to keep all the necessary equipment on the same time period using a manual approach. After researching solutions to the problem it was found Spectracom Corporations is the only source that is compatible with all the above referenced equipment. The area representative for this company is Airep Electronics of Dallas. The Spectracom NETCLOCK/2 system can be installed for $7,390. This system receives the standard legal time originating at the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology and distributes the synchronized time to all equipment within communications and to legal time display clocks that shall be located in three other areas of the Police Department. Staff feels the installation of this system will be beneficial as it will provide legal traceable synchronized time for all the equipment in the Police communications area. Recommendation: It is recommended City Council authorize the purchase of a Spectracom synchronized clock time system from Airep Electronics in the amount of $7,390.

They are currently under contract with the City to supervise intoxilyzer operations. The Police Department has been very satisfied with the quality of service provided. Forensic Consultant Services is offering the City an annual contract for forensic lab and field services. This contract will be cost effective because it will give the City a blanket price for all the required services instead of paying for services on an individual as need basis. Some of the services that will be included under the contract are drug analysis, firearms analysis, fingerprint development and comparison, blood and alcohol analysis, trace evidence, written reports on all services, and the Lab will offer testimony in court to relate results of all analysis. The contract price will also include the intoxilyzer supervision. The annual amount of the contract will be $10,000. This contract will benefit the City as it . will consolidate lab services and lock the cost of these services for one year. In fiscal year 1994/95 we spent $12,828 with crime labs, $8,176 of this amount was with Forensic Consultant Services. Recommendation: It is recommended City Council authorize the annual contract with Forensic Consultant Services in the amount of $10,000.

JAN 2 9 /996 \ Re: Green Valley Drive ReconstnJction North Richland Hills, Texas Dear Mr. Albin: We have reviewed your drawing regarding the stonn drainage conflict at approximately ST A 13+51 and received pricing from our utility and drainage structure subcontractors. The low price that we received for this work is $6900.00.: This price includes breaking the pipe back to an existing joint, pouring the necessary collars, backfilling the trenches, the polyethylene sheets, working around the existing gas line, and the extra depth for the proposed inlet. This price is based upon using our utility subcontractor. Currently, he still has equipment on the job, but is scheduled to demobilize on January 26, 1996. As a result, we need a quick answer regarding this price. In the eve of dela ivin wer re arding the rice for this ~or~, we will need to increase our price by $1000.00 to cover his additional mobilization cost~ In reference to time, we will need two days added to the allowable contract time to complete this work. We have completed all of the available work on the critical path; therefore. we request that time charges be suspended from this date until this conflict is resolved. Please advise our oÎfice of your decision regaråing this issue. tion Company Robert .

This Executive Summary provides a listing of the recommendations which may be implemented in order to carry out the development plan for the area. I Attributes Identified in the Smithfield area; · Accessible location - Access is provided by Davis Boulevard which is a major arterial and Smithfield Road and Main Street which are collector roadways. I I · Eight Historical Markers - There are a number of Texas Historical Markers honoring both people of Smithfield's past as well as historic sites within the Smithfield area. I · Available parking - There is both vacant parcels and existing parking lots that may be utilized for parking for festivals and events held in the Smithfield area. I · Easily identifiable entrance locations - There are three primary entrances into the Smithfield area that should be identified with landscaping and architectural features. I · Vacant land available for development - ll1ere is vacant land available for development of a staging area or gathering place along the Cotton Belt Railroad. I I Recommendations: · Pavilion Depot - Develop a depot along the railroad for a railroad stop along the planned Tarantula railroad route from Fort Worth to Grapevine. The Cotton Belt Railroad is located within the area. Robert Roberson of Tarantula Corporation indicated that Smithfield is a good location for a stop along the planned route from Fort Worth to Grapevine due to its midway location and due to the fact that a Depot building, and lústorical characteristics already existing in the area. I I · Preservation of the "Feed Store" building- The Old Smithfield Feed Store is a deteriorating structure in the Smithfield area. This structure is very important to the lústory of the area. This structure is the oldest commercial structure still in existence in the area. It is recommended that efforts to bring this structure up to standards and maintain it in the future be encouraged I I · A Historic Walking route through the area - It is recommended that a lústoric walking route be established through the area which incorporates all the lústoric markers located within an easy walking distance. · Destination Allractiolls - Development of "Destination Attractions" such as a staging area for bicycle I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I and foot races. It is recommended that several destination attractions be established in the area. One attraction could be a staging area for bicycle rides and mns or a display area for automobile shows. · Incorporate Trail System - Incorporate the Trail System Master Plan's two bike trail systems proposed in this area. The Trail System Master Plan indicates a Primary Off Road HikelBike Trail along the Cotton Belt Railroad and a second route is a On Road Bike Route. Resolution No. 94-37, a resolution approving the submission of four proposed projects to the NorthCentral Texas Council of Governments and the Texas Department of Transportation as candidates for statewide transportation enhancement program funding, was passed by the North Richland HilIs City Council on July 25, 1994. · Encourage the developmelll of restaurants, retail shops, and antique shops - Supportive businesses are another important element. These types of developments wilI be supportive business to the destination attractions which will draw people to the area. These businesses could range from sandwich shops and ice cream parlors to full service restaurants. · Develop afarmers market within the area - Another supportive business and destination attraction is a fanners market. TIùs would also support the historical theme of Snùthfield. · Encourage Historic Theme - Future new constmction should be encouraged to reflect a historic theme. In order to continue the theme of the Smithfield area it is recommended that all new construction be of period architectural style. For example the Smithfield Depot office building located adjacent to the railroad tracks on Smithfield Road. · Bed and Breakfast Potential - Encourage the development of bed and breakfast facilities in the area. In order to establish a Bed and Breakfast facility in the Smi thfield area, one would be required to build new construction or move a structure from another community. It is recommended that steps be taken to review regulations wlùch would pennit such activities to be undertaken. · Encourage Historic Streetscape - Provide urblli1 design elements such as light fixtures, benches, trash facilities, and brick pavers for Main Street ~Uld Smithfield Road witlùn the area. Utilize these urban design features to draw attention to the areas and identify it as a special part of North Richland Hills' history. · Identify and mark focal points and entry statements within the area -TIle use of landscaping and entry features or markers which may include banners or flags that identify the area are recommended. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Purpose and Objective The Smithfield area has roots extending back into the 1800's. It seems to still retain its own character and individu- ality even though it was absorbed into the City of North Richland Hills in the 1950's. The rapid urbanization of North Richland Hills has virtually surrounded Smithfield's unique mixture of land uses with new single family sub- divisions to accommodate the growth. Commercial development of properties along either side of Davis Boulevard has accelerated with the widening of this thoroughfare from two lanes in 1991 to its present four lane status. Ulti- mate completion of the Loop 820/Hwy. 26 interchange in 1998 will bring a greater economic emphasis to commer- cial development along Davis Boulevard and particularly in the Smithfield area. The ingredients of pending economic development in the Smithfield area combined with its historical setting and tourism potential offers various opportunities for a unique setting in North Richland Hills. The purpose and objec- tive of this report is to explore the feasibility of several development options available to local officials to influence the best development plan for the area. The report includes a review of the Smtihfield areas historic background, a description of the existing land use patterns, an identification of area's attributes and a discussion of feasible alterna- tives. Original Town of Smithfield The area now known as the City of North Richland Hills grew from an area originally known as Smithfield. This area's history began in 1807, with the founding of the Willow Springs Methodist Church south of Watauga _ Smithfield Road. In 1876 Eli Smith donated part of his farmland to the Zion community for a Methodist church and cemetery. Residents of the area honored Smith for his generosity and community service spirit by renaming the set- tlement Smithfield. Eli Smith and many of his family are buried in the cemetery that now occupies the land he do- nated. In addition pioneer physician Lilburn Howard Colley, for whom nearby Colleyville is named, is also buried in the cemetery. City Limits of Smithfield. Texas dated August 7, 1951 indicates the original lot and street layout of the area. Records show that, as recently as 1935, Smithfield was an independent community ten miles northeast of Fort Worth with a population of 137 and nine businesses and a school. In 1951, Smithfield incorporated, but voted in 1958 to drop their incorporation and become annexed by North Richland Hills. Within the City of North Richland Hills there are a number of Texas Historical Markers. There are two similar mark- ers for Eli Smith, one of which is pictured above. The first is located at 6600 Smithfield Rd. The second marker is located in the Smithfield Cemetery. There is also a marker for Alfred Madeson Hightower located in the Smithfield Cemetery. The Cemetery itself has a marker located along the roadway at 6700 Smithfield Rd. In addition to mark- ers for the people of Smithfield's past there are several markers which identify historic sites or structures within Smithfield. There is a marker at the Smithfield Masonic Lodge, #455, AF & AM., 8007 Main Street. The recon- structed Cobb Barber shop has a marker. And finally, both the Smithfield Methodist Church and the Smithfield Bap- tist Church have Texas Historical Markers. While not all located within the core of the Smithfield study area there are a number of sites listed in the Tarrant County Historic Resources Survey. (Community Services Guide Summer 1991 North Richland Hills Public Li- brary). The Hightower Autrey House located at 6725 Smithfield Road is one of the oldest in the Smithfield area. It is thought to have been built around 1880 by Jimmy Hightower for his son L.A. There is some confusion as to the date that the Walker House located at 8201 Main Street was built. One source says 1878 and another says 1889. Even the later date would make this one of the oldest surviving residences in the Smithfield area. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Texas Historical Marker - Eli Smith who in 1876 together with his wife Sa- rah donated part of their fann to the Zion community which was renamed Smithfield in their honor. Soon after the War Between the States, John Shivers settled on land near the Smithfield Community. The original house with a stone chimney of the John Shivers Farm at 8320 Davis Boulevard still exists today. It was built in 1895. In the late 1890's the John Newton Farm, which consisted of a farmhouse and barn, was built at 8101 Green Valley Drive. Another historical site is the Harwell-Engler Farm at 9501 Grapevine Highway, the house was built around 1900 by the Harwell family. The barn was built in 1932 by the Engler family. I I I I 2 I I I I I I I I I I City Limts of Smithfield, Texas - August 7, 1951 I The oldest commercial building in the Smithfield area is the Old Smithfield Feed Store. This historically significant building is located at 8021 Main Street and was built in 1926 by John T. Overly. The building, which has suffered from structural problems, was scheduled to be demolished in 1986. However the owner and tenant, at the time, de- cided instead to gut the inside, saving what could be saved and retaining the exterior in near original condition. I ~ I I I Smithfield Feed Store -This structure is located at 8021 Main Street and was built in 1926. It is belived to be the oldest remairùng commercial building. I I I I 3 I I The Feed and Garden store occupied the Old Smithfield Feed Store until February of 1994 when they moved be- cause of the need to be located conveniently for their customers. The current occupant of the Old Smithfield Feed Store is an irrigation company. I I Up until 1879 the Smithfield communities weekly contact with other parts of the country was the pony express. The mail was handed out at the church until the frame post office was built in 1877. In 1879 the pony express was re- placed by a regular mail hack from Fort Worth. In the 1870's Smithfield had two stores: a general store owned by 1.0. Samson and a hardware store run by Westly Prater. I I The Cotton Belt Railroad, which arrived in 1878, had a major impact. The railroad made access to other nearby towns more available. There was a major fire in Smithfield in 1890, due to sparks from the engine igniting dry grass I I I Smithfield Depot - Although recently built, this professional office reflects the historical theme of historic Smith- field. I I I I along the tracks. The Smithfield area is impacted to this day by the Cotton Belt Railroad, which bisects the southern portion of the area and provides opportunities for both economic development through industry and tourism. The Smithfield Depot pictured above is not a historic structure; however, this new construction has been built in the his- toric theme of the area. I I The existence of the Cotton Belt Railroad, which is currently owned by Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART), pro- vides the possibility of additional development based on a railroad theme for the Smithfield Old Towne area. While this track is currently used for freight, there are plans, within the next two years, for the Tarantula Corporation to be running excursion trains from Fort Worth to Grapevine. The plan is to run both "period" trains and modem diesel trains. However, the old "period" engines are about 100 years old and are not always dependable. The number of trips planned is currently undetermined. This will depend on demand. Whether or not the train stops at Smithfield will likely be determined by the amenities provided in the area. I I I 4 I I I I I I I I I Cobb Barber Shop Site -Reconstructed in 1986. Clarence Gardner Cobb cut hair at this site during the depression. In exchange for his services he received eggs, chickens, fruit, vegetables or whatever, if anything, the customer could spare. I Another historic site located within the Smithfield area is the site where the Cobb Barber shop has been reconstruct- ed. In the 1930's Clarence Gardner Cobb built a barber shop at this site and during the depression he often cut hair for free or for eggs, chickens, fruit, vegetables, or whatever the customer could spare. The reconstructed Cobb Bar- ber shop, which was built in 1986, is in existence today and is located at 8000 Main Street. I I The original Masonic Lodge was first named the Grand Prairie Lodge. The original meetings were held in the Zion Church, which is now known as the Smithfield Methodist Church. By 1876, work had begun on the first Lodge building. It was erected on a lot approximately one-fourth of a mile west of the present building. In 1894, with the coming of the railroad, the original Lodge building was moved from its original location to a lot located adja- I I I I I I I I 5 Texas Historical Marker-Smithfield Lodge No. 455. This structure sits ad- jacent to the site on which the original lodge was relocated to in 1894. I I I cent to the present newly constructed building. In 1947 the Grand Lodge of Texas gave pennission to change the Lodge name from Grand Prairie Lodge No. 455 to Smithfield Lodge No. 455. Beginning in 1960 the Lodge began purchasing surrounding lots and on June 10, 1981 the cornerstone for as new Lodge building was laid. This new building is adjacent to the site of the old Lodge and is located at 8007 Main Street. I I Existing Conditions I Gathering data of existing conditions before planning for the future is essential. The study area, for which detailed existing conditions infonnation was collected, is the land area on either side of the two major thoroughfares in the area. The first thoroughfare is Main Street, running east and west from Davis Boulevard to Smithfield Road The second is Smithfield Road, running north and south from just north of the School to the Railroad tracks. The specific data concerning the existing land use and structural conditions extends beyond these corridors. The data collected regarding existing conditions in the Old Towne Smithfield area included current land uses and general structural condition of those land uses within the limits of the study area. I I I I Existing Land Use Existing land use represents how the land is currently being used. Often, an analysis of current land uses will give the analyst an understanding of existing development trends being realized in the area. I Data, gathered during the field survey completed during the Comprehensive Land Use Plan process in 1992, provid- ed a basis from which to start the update of said data. A field survey was conducted in July of 1995 for the purpose of updating the existing land use and other existing conditions within the study area. Existing Land Use indicates the current land uses in the study area. I I The majority of the land uses located along the main corridors which make up the Smithfield area are public land uses. These uses include churches, schools, and a cemetery. There is a very limited amount of residential develop- ment located within the area. The residential development located within the study area is limited to single family residential structures. The commercial land uses located within the Smithfield area include retail, office and service type uses. In addition there are two industrial uses located in the area. I I Existing Land Use Analysis Land uses, relative to the Old Towne Smithfield area, were first addressed in the City of North Richland Hills Com- prehensive Land Use Plan adopted in June of 1992. This study provided general analysis of the existing land use is- sues. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan described the area as having limited historical significance. The develop- ment within the Smithfield area was described as being comprised of very low intensity commercial and residential uses. It was felt, at that time, that the land value within the area would likely increase to the point where the land value is greater than the improvements on the land in some locations. I I I 6 I "'^''''W;illYC'<''"' I LegMd I I I I I I I I I I I I &íngl"Pamlly Res!den!ial R<Jtail C~a1 I S_ice Commercial Office Commet:'éJal Public QwW4'uI>11c Lightlnduslrial T""..Wmtork M.~1œr for WUItOriC¡'lace I I I I I I I The Comprehensive Land Use Plan indicated that it is desirable to protect the areas of historical significance in North Richland Hills that do exist, as development of more intense commercial uses are introduced to the area. Indeed the area once known as Zion and then Smithfield does have a history worth preserving. I I The general fonn of the City was originally defined by the Original Smithfield Subdivision which was based upon a grid pattern street layout typical of early town development. The two main corridors analyzed in this study are Main Street and Smithfield. I Commercial property along Main Street originally consisted of a series of twenty-five (25) foot wide lots. The origi- nal purpose of these twenty-five (25) foot lots was to give the owner flexibility of lot width by allowing them to pur- chase and combine any number of lots they wished to create a building site that suited his or her needs. In the case of Smithfield there are a limited number of these twenty-five (25) foot frontage lots remaining. These lots are locat- ed in one area along Main Street which is included in our study area. These eight (8) lots are on the on the north side of Main Street just west of Davis Boulevard The first three lots at this location on the comer of Main Street and Snider is the location of the original feed store. There are three vacant lots and then two lots have been combined and a single family home is located on the comer of Main Street and Davis Boulevard This type of subdivision lay- out often led to a diversity of development occurring. There is a combination of commercial and residential land uses located along Main Street. Municipal planning principles have evolved such that they now encourage residen- tial neighborhoods to be developed homogeneously. Variety provided by the twenty-five (25) foot lot layout is no longer a standard practiced by developers and planners. What is likely to occur in the case of the remaining twenty- five (25) foot lots is that they will be combined and replatted for future development. I I I I I I The Comprehensive Land Use Plan recommended the creation of a Smithfield Redevelopment or Historical District. Several of the benefits derived from this type of effort might include: (1) The protection of site specific historical structures and sites; (2) A unifonn theme which may include limitations on height, set-backs, landscaping, and signage; (3) Regulations regarding street signage, lighting, street furniture and appurtenances, and special road- way treatments may be adopted; (4) The development of commercial uses that be encouraged to comply with a uni- fonn theme regarding future development; and (5) Buffering and screening requirements should be carefully ob- served between adjacent commercial and residential development. I I I Historic and Architecturally Significant Structures As would be anticipated, the Old Towne Smithfield area of North Richland Hills contains a number of fifty (50) years and older structures. Several of these structures exhibit examples of period architecture reflective of North Richland Hills' early days. While there are a number of State of Texas Historical Site markers in the area, they ei- ther mark places where historic structures used to be or relate to persons having an impact on the history of the area. They do not identify existing historic structures. The field survey of historic and architecturally significant struc- tures incorporated category guidelines unique to Smithfield Old Towne. These structures are identified on the Exist- ing Land Use figure. I I I I 8 I I I Historic Structures: The structures identified include the state designated historic places as well as other places and structures throughout the Old Towne area which are not state designated historic places. There are sites within the study area which do not have the state historic designation but, nevertheless. were found to be significant to the early history of Smithfield and North Richland Hills. As a part of this study, these structures were considered to be of his- toric significance due to their age and/or example of period architecture. It is important to note that historic designa- tions may be granted by local authorities in accordance with criteria unique to that community as determined by that community. I I I Architectural Style The architectural style evident in the Smithfield area is typical to small rural towns which took form in the latter part of the 1800's. Smithfield does not have any structures that indicates that anything except the minimum requirement for construction was used. The structures are simple. There are no two story structures located within the area. The Feed Store are the only original commercial structure remaining in the area.

This category of structure was de- veloped at about the time of the Civil War. The simplicity of the construction facilitated future expansion and growth. Second and third floors could easily be added if the economy proved sucessful. County seat towns and larger communities already established during the mid 19th century have multiple examples of "two-part commer- cial block" structures, which is simply the addition of additional floors. I I 9 I I I As in the case of Smithfield, most one-part commercial block structures were used as retail stores. The street front- age is narrow and the facade comprises little more than plate glass windows and an entry sunnounted by a cornice or parapet. A sizable wall area often exists between windows and cornice to provide a place for advertising and to make the facade appear larger and more urban. I I The one-part commercial block construction was ideal for the new Smithfield of the 1870's. It was relatively inex- pensive to construct, could be enlarged easily, and was the popular architectural style of commercial construction of that time. The Feed Store and the reconstructed Cobb Barber Shop establish Smithfield's roots to the late 1800's and early 1900's. I I I Structural Conditions I In detennining the appropriateness of this area - wide preservation and development program, a "windshield" struc- tural condition survey was conducted. No interior surveyor evaluation was perfonned. However, the survey was conducted by personnel knowledgeable of City of North Richland Hills Building and Housing Codes. The exterior appearance of a structure is often misleading as to its overall structural condition. This is particularly so in an old area of a community or in a transitional area. Without the benefit of an interior detailed survey, attention must be di- rected to the exterior structural elements, such as the foundation, walls, and roof. These structural elements were ob- viously considered more heavily in the classification process than more superficial elements such as paint condition or window and door treatments. Critical structural elements which were observed include: bowing walls, sagging roofs, and! or porches and cracking foundations. The condition of superficial elements such as condition of paint, doors, windows or lack thereof were noted during the survey. Judgements of the structure and its collective suppor- tive elements resulted in identifying the structure in one of three categories: "standard," "deteriorating," or "dilapi- dated" . I I I I I Standard: A standard structural condition means the structure has no, or very few, visible exterior defects. It is of solid construction and generally meets the City's adopted building codes. Some minor painting and lor facade main- tenance may be required. I Deteriorating: Those structures falling within this classification require more than regular routine maintenance. These structures may have, judging from the exterior survey, one or more interior housing or building code viola- tion. However; they may still be rehabilitated into standard condition. In addition, rehabilitation of deteriorated structures is more likely to be economically feasible than structures that are classified as substandard. I I Dilapidated: The remaining structures were found to be in the dilapidated classification. Structures classified as di- lapidated could be demolished without impact to the preservation efforts of the area. I Vacant Structures: Structures found to be abandoned, or which appear to be vacant, were classified as vacant struc- tures. This detennination included both residential and nonresidential structures. I 10 I I I The majority of the structures within the Old Towne Smithfield area are of standard structural condition. Of the thir- ty two (32) structures included in the survey all are of standard construction with the exception of two (2) which are designated as deteriorating. The first deteriorating structure is a single family residential unit located on the west side of Smithfield Road directly across the street from the school. The second deteriorating structure is the Old Smithfield Feed Store located on Main Street. Of these two structures the Old Smithfield Feed Store is very impor- tant to the history of the area. This structure is the oldest commercial structure still in existence in the area. It is rec- ommended that efforts be undertaken to bring this structure up to standard and maintain it in the future. I I I While it is not always possible to determine vacancy from viewing the exterior of the structure there seem to be very few vacant structures located within the Smithfield area. I I I Opportunities & Concept I Attributes The Old Towne Smithfield area has a number of attributes which provide an opportunity to revitalize and develop a historically significant and economically viable area. Several of these attributes which have been identified in previ- ous sections are listed below.. Also listed are recommendations regarding possible enhancement of these attributes. I I · The Old Towne Smithfield area is blessed with a very accessible location. Access is provided by Davis Boulevard which is a major arterial and Smithfield Road and Main Street which are collector roadways. I · The Cotton Belt Railroad is located within the area. Robert Roberson of Taran- tula Corp. indicated that Smithfield is a good location for a stop along the planned route from Fort Worth to Grapevine due to its midway location, the De- pot building, and historical characteristics already existing in the area. I · There are eight Texas Historical Marker located within the area. I · There are several parking areas, or potential parking areas, located through- out the area which may be shared with adjacent properties as well as utilized for special events. I · There are easily identifiable entrance locations into the Smithfield area which can be utilized as Principle Entrance Features. I . There is vacant land available for development of a staging area or gathering place along the Cotton Belt Railroad. I I I 11 I I I Recommendations After analysis of the Smithfield area, there are several efforts which are recommended to encourage revitalization and redevelopment of the area. However, in order for this area to be successful, a number of efforts must be accom- plished. There are four elements which must be addressed. These elements include: 1) Historic Significance, 2) Recreational Opportunities, 3) Commerce or Economic Opportunities, and 4) Urban Design. The figure titled Op- portunities and Concept Plan, graphically illustrates the applications of these recommendations. I I Historic Significance As is evident from the section of this study entitled Original Town of Smithfield, there is a significant history to this area of town. While there is not an extensive amount or a great concentration of historical structures, there are sev- eral structures which should be preserved and protected. Of principal concern is the preservation of the "feed store" This structure is currently not designated as a historic structure. This is the oldest commercial building in the area and it is important that steps be taken to protect the future of this structure. It is also recommended that a historic "walking" route be established through the area which incorporates all the historic markers located within the an easy walking distance. I I I I Recreational Opportunities One important step necessary to make this area viable both economically and historically is to make the area a desti- nation point. It is recommended that several "Destination Attractions" be developed. One attraction could be a staging area for bicycle rides and runs or a display area for automobile shows. The area designated as a staging area is currently in private ownership, but has limited commercial or residential value due to its size and frontage on Main Street. The City öf North Richland Hills has previously prepared a Trail System Master Plan, which in- cludes two bike trail systems of which portions are in this area. For example, this Master Plan indicates a Pri- mary Off Road Hike/Bike Trail along the Cotton Belt Railroad. The planned route is to be constructed from the Hurst city limits to I-H 820. This route will continue through the Smithfield area and run adjacent to the proposed staging area in the Old Towne Smithfield area. The second route proposed in the Master Plan which passes through the Old Towne Smithfield area is a On Road Bike Route. This system includes a route which is located along Davis Boulevard along the eastern boundary of the Smithfield Old Towne area. Resolution No. 94-37, a resolution ap- proving the submission of four proposed projects to the North Central Texas Council of Governments and the Texas Department of Transportation as candidates for statewide transportation enhancement program funding, was passed by the North Richland Hills City Council on July 25, 1994. I I I I I I It is recommended that a staging area be built that can serve a number of functions. One possibility is a covered pa- vilion with a railroad platform located adjacent to the Cotton Belt Railroad. The Cotton Belt Railroad right-of-way at this location has extra width to accomodate such a platform. This staging area may be utilized as a staging area for bicycle races and runs. In addition this staging area may be utilized for other economic activities discussed be- low. A typical elevation of the proposed Pavilion and Railroad Platform is shown on the figure titled Pavilion and Railroad Platfonn. I I I 12 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I fí! I I I I Smllhheld. Texas I -- ~ I Depot Pavilion Detail I I I I Depot Pavilion with Railr oad Platform I I Commerce or Economic Opportunities Another important element is supportive business. In addition to drawing people to the area by providing destina- tion attractions, it is important to provide supportive businesses such as restaurants and retail shops such as an- tique shops. Depending on the level of activity drawn to the area, these supportive businesses could range from sandwich shops and ice cream parlors to full service restaurants. In addition farmers markets could be held on weekends at the pavilion railroad platfonn. Even though there is a limited amount of commercial development cur- rently located within the area, it is a good base from which to grow and develop additional supportive businesses, which will attract people to the area. Because it is important that the historic theme of Smithfield be encour- aged, it is recommended that any commercial development that is proposed in the core block area of Smith- field be of historic type construction. I I I I , There has been interest expressed in developing a retail center west of Davis Boulevard, north of Mickey Street, and east of Smithfield Road. While this is not in the core area of the Smithfield Old Towne, it is in relatively easy walk- ing distance and would be of definite economic benefit to the area, especially it it were constructed of a "period" ar- chitectural style. I I 14 I I I Other options include the development of Bed and Breakfast facilities within the area. While traditionally, most Bed and Breakfast facilities are developed through the conversion of existing older housing with unique archi- tectural qualities, such "turn of the century" homes do not exist in North Richland Hills. In order to establish a Bed and Breakfast facility in the Smithfield area, one would be required to build new construction or move a structure from another community. Since many of the old homes traditionally used for this type of facility are constructed mainly of wood materials, one of the problems that would have to be resolved is the masonry construction require- ment that currently applies to all construction in North Richland Hills. It would be necessary to allow for a special exception granted by the Zoning Board of Adjustment or possibly the use of a historic overlay zone which would penn it different construction materials. I I I I Urban Design Other features which are recommended include urban design elements such as light fixtures, benches, trash facili- ties, and brick paving for Main Street and Smithfield Road within the focus area. In addition the construction of a water tower for "period locomotives" may be done near the proposed pavilion and railroad platfonn. I I Focal points and entry statements should be identified and labeled with markers and landscaping that is consistent with the historic nature of the area. The locations recommended for these statements are shown on the Opportuni- ties and Concept Plan figure. Another recommendation is to use brick pavers on Main Street and Smithfield Road between the entry statements. In addition, the use of banners and or flags within this area identifying the area is a possibility. I I I Vehicles to Implementation Smithfield Old Towne Foundation / Steering Committee It is recommended that some fonn of a citizen organization be developed to oversee the preservation and redevelop- ment efforts in the Smithfield area. Although the City will playa significant role in coordinating and assisting par- ticipants in effecting the redevelopment of the Smithfield area, it is realized that citizen participation will be vital in the preservation and redevelopment efforts. There are many fonns that a citizen's organization may assume. It could be loosely organized. It could take the fonn of a business association. Whatever the fonn, it is critical that the organization be authorized to act as liaison between the citizen participants and the City of North Richland Hills and be empowered to represent the Smithfield Old Towne area. I I I I Steering Committee: The programs and efforts to be initiated and accomplished as defined in this study surpass the ability of the City alone. In order for these plans to be accomplished, a cooperative effort of a number of interests must be realized. These interests include historic preservationists, business owners, homeowners, the Northeast Tar- rant County Chamber of Commerce, as well as the City itself. It is recommended that a steering committee be as- sembled. Representatives of each interest group should be selected to serve on the committee and meet on a regular- ly scheduled basis. The committee would be responsible for reviewing and making recommendations to the appropriate organizations regarding fonnation activities required in implementing recommendation made in the Smithfield Old Towne area. Depending on desire of the committee and the city, the steering committee may contin- ue to carry out these responsibilities or a more fonnal Smithfield Old Towne Foundation could be fonned. I I I I 15 I I Historic Committee: Historic committees and the participation of other citizen groups are extremely important to fulfilling the efforts of a preservation redevelopment plan. Cooperative participation by all citizens can encourage a sense of pride. It can also help insure a longer term preservation support of the area long after completion of a de- velopment plan. I I Smithfield Old Towne Foundation: This foundation must be a nonprofit Texas corporation. Other communities within the metroplex have utilized this type of an organization for similar purposes. Examples of this include the Grapevine Historic Foundation and the Burleson Historic Foundation. This type of corporation has been established in these municipalities and has proven extremely beneficial in the preparation and implementation of preservation and redevelopment efforts. This type of foundation could be responsible for receiving and dispensing funds, the pro- curement and transferring of properties, and other such donations for the use pursuant to its charter. The type of foundation can be funded through donations and non-profit business activities. The corporation would be obligated to expend all of its efforts, energies, and economic resources to the chartered requirements of historic preservation, development and redevelopment activities within the Smithfield area. It would be a totally non-profit operation. It establishes an organization specifically oriented to fulfilling the specific goals of the Smithfield Old Towne area. It also provides a vehicle for philanthropic donations to the preservation efforts. I I I I I Municipal Administrative Controls: As mentioned previously, several of the suggestions discussed in this study would require revisions to or special reg- ulations for this area of North Richland Hills. This can be accomplished through municipal administrative controls. The Zoning Ordinance, which regulates at a minimum items such as land use, area requirements, parking require- ments, landscaping and signage requirements, should be reviewed to determine the need or lack there of for revi- sions to reflect the unique character and design recommended for the Smithfield area. Refinements in the existing ordinance may be addressed; at a minimum revisions to the landscaping, off street parking, mixed land uses, transi- tional land uses, signage, and architectural style should be considered. The types of uses permitted in the area should be examined. The intent of these revisions should not be to make development in the Smithfield area more difficult, although it may be perceived as such to some. Its intent is to protect and encourage the character and uniqueness of the area as it has been described in this study. This is important since the Smithfield area has consid- erable economic development potential. Another option would be the development of an Historic Overlay Zone which would enhance the "theme concept" by imposing certain architectural requirements for new construction and redevelopment of existing structures. I I I I I I A critical element to the overview of the planning and design of development within the area is the preparation of guidelines for the design and construction of future development in the Smithfield Old Towne area. The guidelines should be prepared with the consensus of the City of North Richland Hills, public service companies, and property owners in the area. This consensus of those who hold an interest in the areas is important to achieve the appearance, use, maintenance, and design goals of the Smithfield area. I I I 16 I I I These guidelines differ from zoning regulations. Zoning addresses primarily area and use requirements. These pro- posed guidelines would address such items as building style, materials, color, lighting, and historic composition of the structure and the site. These guidelines may be referred to as the "Architectural Control Guidelines". In some cases authority to review and enforce these guidelines is placed with the property owners within the area. This is ac- complished by setting up an Architectural Review Committee made up of interest citizens appointed by the City Council.
