Respectfully submitted, I GWDIsmm ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 97 -80 1 6_ G� Date: July 23, 1997 J Subject: MAPLEWOOD AVENUE The City is currently advertising to open bids for this project on August 4, 1997. The recommendation for award of contract will be presented to the Council at the August 11, 1997 meeting. Maplewood Avenue is a 36 -foot wide asphalt street. It will be reconstructed as a concrete street from Laurel Lane to Davis Boulevard. Because the street is only 36 feet wide, it will not be economically feasible to keep two lanes of traffic open at all times during construction. Therefore, only one lane will remain open during construction. The one lane will be designated as one -way east bound only during the duration of the project. Two way traffic will resume on Maplewood Avenue as soon as possible. Notices of the City's plan and a tenative schedule will be provided to the property owners adjacent to Maplewood Avenue and those living one block north and one block south on the intersecting streets.

CIP Coordinator RMC /smm ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. Date: July 28, 1997 Subject: Review of Multi - family Regulations The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the existing multi - family regulations at its June 26, 1997 meeting as requested by the City Council. It was their determination that the current regulations provide adequate protection to adjacent properties and will produce high quality living units. The current regulations provide for site plan approval by both the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council prior to issuance of any building permits. It was the opinion of the Commission that this site plan approval process gave the City adequate review opportunities to assure quality development. They felt that the City Council should be made aware of this provision to satisfy any concerns that they may have regarding the multi - family regulations. Attached is a copy of the multi - family regulations from the Zoning Ordinance.

ADJOURNMENT Mayor Brown adjourned the meeting Tommy Brown - Mayor ATTEST: Patricia Hutson - City Secretary CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: Planning and Inspections Council Meeting Date: 7/28/97 Subject: Public Hearing to Consider Amending the Zoning Agenda Number: PZ 97-29 Regulations Regarding Assisted Living Centers Ordinance No. 2214 The Planning and Zoning Commission has submitted a proposed amendment to the zoning regulations to establish regulations for Assisted Living Centers. These types of facilities provide housing for elderly persons who do not normally require traditional nursing home housing, but who do need some assistance on a daily basis. There have been two housing developments recently constructed in North Richland Hills which primarily serve persons 55 years of age and older. One is the Meadowlakes Retirement Center near the Richland Hills Church of Christ on Loop 820 which has 120 units and the other is Goode Place located on North Richland Blvd. with 80 units. These two developments obtained zoning approval as Planned Developments. The Meadowlakes Retirement Center is an "unassisted living center" , while Goode Place is an "assisted living center" and accepts persons who generally require some day to day assistance, but who are not bedridden. No provisions for Assisted Living Centers or Retirement Homes exists in the current Table of Permitted Uses in the zoning regulations. From zoning and land use perspectives, an Assisted Living Center is a very close cousin to a Nursing Home which is an institutional type use with a commercial atmosphere. Nursing Homes are allowed in the C1, C2, 11 and 12 zoning districts. A Retirement Center is essentially a multi - family use allowed in the MF -7 district. The Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing at their June 26, 1997 meeting and recommended the following: Assisted Living Centers be allowed by right in the C -1 District and elsewhere as a Planned Development. Attached is Ordinance Number 2214 which establishes zoning regulations for Assisted Living Centers. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council hold the required public hearing and consider the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission.

PZ 97 -29 PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER REVISIONS TO THE NORTH RICHLAND HILLS ZONING REGULATIONS CONCERNING SPECIAL LAND REGULATIONS IN REGARDS TO ASSISTED LIVING CENTERS Mr. LeBaron explained that currently "Assisted Living Centers" is not a category any where in the Zoning Regulations. Mr. LeBaron explained that the one assisted living center in the City is zoned as a Planned Development; however, increased inquiries from the public have warranted amending the regulations. 2 Chairman Barfield opened the public hearing and called for any proponents. Mr. David Evans, Vice President of Development for the Covenant Group, explained that in: the future he will be presenting a request for an additional g assisted livin center in the City of North Richland Hills. Mr. Evans believes that a Planned Development is the best category for this type of development to fall into and explained they prefer not being in a Commercial zone; they like a neighborhood feeling for their residents, and their residents prefer this as well. Mr. Will Davies, DFD Architects, stated that his company is doing a number of Assisted Living Centers around the Country and by and far the majority of clients don't want to be in a commercial zone; he stated these clients prefer a community feeling. Mr. Davies distributed brochures to the Commissioners outlining the different types of retirement facilities. Chairman Barfield called for any additional proponents. There being none, Chairman Barfield called for any opponents. There being none, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Wood made the motion to approve PZ 97 -29 allowing Assisted Living Centers in the C -1 zoning classification, by right, and as a Planned Development in all other zoning classifications.

Ordinance No. 2223 The Planning and Zoning Commission has submitted a proposed amendment to the zoning regulations to establish a "Mid- Cities Overlay Zone" in the southeastern quadrant of the city and along Mid - Cities Boulevard and Precinct Line Road. The proposed amendment limits the height and size of pole signs within the overlay zone, but has no effect on sign regulations elsewhere in the city. The Planning and Zoning Commission felt that since most of the area along Mid - Cities Boulevard and Precinct Line Road remains undeveloped, this would be an excellent time to amend the sign regulations before a number of new signs are built and create "grandfathered" situations. Additional building restrictions may be adopted in the future to assure quality development and land use compatibility within the Mid- Cities Overlay Zone. The current sign regulations allows a maximum height of 25 feet for a pole sign located at the front property line and allows the height to be increased one foot for each one foot the sign is offset from the front property line, up to a maximum of 50 feet high. The maximum area of a pole sign can be one square foot of sign area for each linear foot of street frontage up to a maximum of 300 square feet. The proposed regulations will limit the height of a pole sign to 25 feet overall and to a maximum area of 100 square feet. The Planning and Zoning Commission when making these recommendations considered the basic sign design criteria contained in the document "Street Graphics and the Law" published in 1988 by the American Planning Association. The sign design criteria states that the height and size of a pole sign is a function of traffic speed and the number of driving lanes on the adjacent street. Attached is Ordinance No. 2223 which establishes the overlay zone and a map showing the boundary limits of the overlay zone. The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this zoning ordinance amendment at its June 26, 1997 meeting and recommended approval.

PZ 97 -33 PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER REVISIONS TO THE NORTH RICHLAND HILLS ZONING REGULATIONS CONCERNING THE HEIGHT AND SIZE OF POLE SIGNS IN THE SIGN ORDINANCE Mr. LeBaron stated that this item consists of an amendment to the sign regulations along Mid - Cities Blvd. and Precinct Line Road. Since much of the area along this corridor remains undeveloped, Mr. LeBaron believes this would be an excellent time to amend the regulations; however, since this amendment is for one general area and not city wide, the Commissioners might want to consider tabling this item and notifying all property owners in the area - allowing property owners some input. Mr. LeBaron distributed a list of signs along Davis Blvd. for an example of recent signage tendencies and showed pictures of these signs. The Commissioners agreed that they would like to see more monument signs. The Commissioners also asked Mr. LeBaron to look into "cluster signs" for common developments and get back with them at the first available meeting. Mr. Davis made the motion to amend the sign regulations to a maximum of 25' in height and 100 square feet for sign area for signs for the area delineated on the exhibit included in this presentation, but too include all the way down to Grapevine Highway, and to include all the way to the Nob Hill Subdivision. Mr. Wood seconded the motion and it carried 5 - 0. Mr. Davis reques action.

The current sign regulations establish the maximum height of a pole sign at 25 feet high at the front property line. This height may be increased one foot for each one foot the sign is offset from the front property line up to a maximum of 50 feet high. The size of a pole sign is one square foot of sign for each linear foot of street frontage up to a maximum of 300 square feet. Since much of the area along Mid - Cities Boulevard and Precinct Line Road remains undeveloped, this is an excellent time to amend the sign regulations before there is a number of new signs are built and create "grandfathered" situations. According to the document "Street Graphics and the Law" published by the American Planning Association, the height and size of a pole sign is a function of traffic speed and the number of driving lanes on the adjacent streets.

(Located at 6155 Holiday Lane) Ordinance No. 2227 PZ 97 -34 LOC Consultants is the agent for The Covenant Group, Inc., owner of 2.8761 acres at the southwest corner of Mid - Cities Boulevard and Holiday Lane. The tract is currently zoned U Institutional & C -1 Commercial. The applicant proposes to rezone the property to a PD Planned Development to build an Assisted Living Center. The center will be 33,894 square feet in size and have 50,beds. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan shows this property to be targeted for low density residential development. The property to the south is zoned U Institutional. The property west is zoned R -7 Multifamily & AG Agricultural. The property north is zoned R -3 Single Family Residential, with the property to the east zoned C -1 Commercial. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan shows the property to the west to be targeted for low density residential, the property to the north to be low & medium residential, & the properties to the east & south to be public/quasi- public. The Thoroughfare Plan has given Mid Cities Blvd. P6D status, meaning it to be a Principal Arterial, 6 lanes, divided. Holiday Lane has M4U status, being a Minor Arterial, 4 lanes, undivided. The property is currently vacant and unplatted and will have to go through the platting process before any building permits will be issued. The applicant has requested a waiver of the PD's 4 acres requirement for development. The applicant has requested a 1 parking space to 2 beds ratio for parking, which meets state requirements; most residents don't drive and the visitor ratio is minimal. The Commission approved PZ 97 -34 waiving the 4 acre minimum on a PD and was satisfied with the parking ratio as proposed. The Commision expressed conceal over the roofing material proposed for the facility and requested the aoolicant upgrade the roof from a composition shingle to a cementitious. or equal. roofing material In exchange for upgrading of the roof, the aoolicant would not required to meet the 75% maSn n+ on the five knner walls. Since the P & Z meeting the applicant has furnished a letter stating that the cementitious type shingle presented complicated engineering problems and cost considerations that were prohibitive. Because of these considerations the al2plicant is reauestina to comoly with the 75% maso nt on all exterior elevations including the five inner walls and roofing with composition shingles Attached is the letter from the applicant. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council conduct the required Public Hearing and consider the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission.

(LOCATED BETWEEN HOLIDAY LANE /COLLEGE CIRCLE AND WATAUGA ROAD, AND WEST OF THE HOLIDAY LANE - WATAUGA ROAD INTERSECTION APPROVED Mr. LeBaron explained that the applicant is requesting a zoning change to a Planned Development for a 50 bed Assisted Living Center. This property is approximately 2.8 acres in size and is currently zoned U Institutional and C -1 Commercial. Chairman Barfield opened the public hearing and asked for any proponents. Mr. David Evans, Vice President of the Covenant Group, presented this request. Mr. Evans explained that the Covenant Group is a Fort Worth based company that develops, constructs and manages independent retirement and assisted living centers. The Covenant Group is manager of Meadow Lakes Retirement Center. Mr. Will Davies, DFD Architects, presented the Commissioners with a brochure _ "A Proposed Seniors Community," and explained that everyone in the facility will have a view of the nicely landscaped courtyard or open area. The parking is minimal, but meets the state requirements; most residents don't drive and the visitor ratio is minimal. Mr. Davies explained that the facility has a residential appearance, and stated this is what the residents prefer. Mr. Davies stated that he would answer any questions the Commissioners might have. Chairman Barfield explained that it is the consensus of the Commission that the 75% masonry requirement be fulfilled. The Commissioners would also prefer a higher quality roof than composition. Chairman Barfield called for any additional proponents. Mr. Jim Stevens, 3604 Sandbar, Colleyville, owner of the property to the south of this tract spoke in favor of this item. Chairman Barfield called for any additional proponents. There being none, Chairman Barfield called for any opponents. There being none, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Davis made the motion to approve PZ 97 -34, waiving the four acre minimum on a Planned Development, requiring all walls be 75% masonry - with the exception of the five inner walls - that may be sided if the applicant upgrades the roof to a cementiticious or equal roofing, and a detailed landscaping plan that includes a very definitive landscaping burm along Mid - Cities Blvd. be submitted during the platting process. The hand -out given to the Commissioners will be part of this ordinance as well. Mr. Nehring seconded the motion and it carried 4 - 0.

Box 820609 North Richland Mills, TX 76182 -0609 RE: Proposed Assisted Living Residence Covenant Place of North Richland Hills PZ -97 -34 Dear Mi. LeBaron: Thank you for your continued assistance to The Covenant Group as we work our way through the zoning change and platting processes. You and your staff have been very professional and helpful. At the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on July 10 we were offered a choice between reducing the percentage of brick required on selected interior facing building elevations in return for our changing the roofing material to a cementitious type shingle. We have completed a hill evaluation and have found that the cementitious shingles are significantly more expensive than asphalt shingles and also require thicker deck material and a re- engineering of the truss system. The total cost of the changes are more expensive than the cost reduction in brick. With this information, we have elected to stay with the asphalt shingles and the minimum 75% brick on all exterior elevations. Again, thank you for the assistance you and your department have been providing. Sincerely, David E.

I understand that the requested zoning is a stand alone planned development. Therefore, the comments listed below are not measured against any standard for any particular zoning district. The zoning ordinance requires a minimum 4 acre tract for a planned development. This site is 2.8761 acres. 2. The maximum lot coverage for a PD is 50 %. As shown the lot coverage is 27 %(primary and accessory buildings). 3. The exterior masonry coverage is estimated as follows: South elevation = 100% masonry coverage. All other elevation = about 25% masonry coverage per elevation. All non residential developments require 75% masonry coverage per elevation. MF districts require at least 65% masonry coverage per elevation. 4. Screening: a. Dumpster location and screening not shown. b. No mechanical equipment is shown. Screening may be required. c. If this development is to be considered as a typical MF development, then a "decorative screening wall" is required along the portion of the proposed development that abuts Mid - Cities Boulevard (P6D thoroughfare). d. No other screening wall or buffering yard would be required no matter what the underlying zoning district may be. 5. Parking: a. 26 regular spaces and one handicap space shown. However, there is no expressed ratio listed (ex: 1 space /room). b. The parking aisles and spaces are not dimensioned. c. The site plan shows that the concrete paving is limited. Of what materials will the remainder be constructed? Bill Longnecker, Planner Page 2 June 24, 1997 6. Approaches and Fire Lanes: a. All radii for fire lanes and approaches must be dimensioned. b. Fire lanes are not shown. c. Location of approaches must be reviewed and approved by public works. 7. Landscaping: not shown on the site plan but there is a note that landscaping will comply with the zoning ordinance. 8. Light standards and lighting patterns and intensity should be detailed. 9. Signs:-the plans indicate a monument sign with 400 square feet of gross sign area. The sign ordinance limits the size of MF monument signs to 100 square feet in area. Non- residential monument signs are limited to 150 square feet in area. 10. A four foot sidewalk adjacent to the property line placed within the right of way should be placed on the site plan.

First, an assisted living center does not fit into any of the development categories listed in Appendix F of the Zoning Regulations. Second, in our experience with assisted living centers in various other cities, there is very little use of the parking areas. For these two reasons, we are requesting a waiver from the parking requirements. Sincerely, � JVJNI'n� Cheryl L. Silverman, Senior Planner cc: file DFD Architects d: Sri chland\wai vpark doc 1000 E.

It's eased Ellen's burden of looking after her mother long distance, knowing that she's receiving personalized attention in a place that looks more like an upscale resort than a residence for older adults. To local merchants, it's brought new business to pharmacies, food- service suppliers, decorators, land- scapers, and other contractors. It's brought new jobs to area residents and has expanded the market for dozens of other prod- ucts and services. Although it may not appear in every neighborhood, assisted liv- ing is making a marked impact on senior housing and health ser- vices in select regions of the United States. The trend is expected to continue well into the next millennium. Nfore people are living into their 80s and beyond, and more of them are living alone. An acci- dent, chronic disease, or progressive decline in functional abilities can easily sideline people's ability to live independently. Assisted - living residences offer a homelike alternative to older and disabled people who can't manage on their own. These typically upscale facilities won't replace nursing homes, but they will become the housing mode of choice for a growing number of affluent Americans who need a little extra help to shoulder the burdens of daily life. Nursing homes are not the answer. Some industry experts main- tain that one -fifth to one -third of nursing -home residents shouldn t be there in the first place. Their needs would be bet- B Y LINDA J . BARTON ter served by alternatives within the community if available. On a limited scale, a number of federal demonstration projects have proven this to be true. Pioneered by the On Lok Senior Health Services model 25 years ago, others like the National PACE (Program of All- Inclusive Care for the Elderly) Association have shown the dollars - and -cents benefits of keeping the elderly out of nursing homes. This economic efficiency coincides nicely with the overwhelming preference people have to stay out of traditional nursing homes as long as they possibly can. Private developers have rushed to seize opportunity before the age wave crests. It's understandable why Marriott International, Inc. and lesser -known regional and local providers are aggressive- ly staking their claims in a market now worth between $13 and 313 billion and expected to reach $20 billion by the year 2020.

Debuting in the United States in the 1980s, assisted living is pat- terned after Dutch and Scandinavian systems designed to provide housing and sheltered services for the frail elderly. The philosophy of assisted living makes it quite different from familiar medical/ institutional models of care, where individuals are treated American Demographics !uiy ' -4- 45 A LITTLE HELP (percent of total population aged 85 and older and residents of assisted - living facilities needing help with specified activities of daily living, 19%) 70% bathing dressing toileting transferring eating V7° ■ 85 -plus population ■ assisted- living residents Sowor Agacy for HeaAri Paq and 9WWtk Coopers34*wW forAssimd Lk" fe*mowofAown Residents of assisted - living facilities don't need round - the -clock medical care, but they do need help with the routines of daily life. as patients, with their social, spiritual, and other needs subjugated to the treatment of disease. Assisted living, on the other hand, emphasizes the social and per- sonal requirements of residents who need some assistance with daily activities and health care, but who desire and deserve to age with dignity. It's an important distinction, in that the design of housing, services, activities, employee training, and such is truly customer- centered. It's focused on satisfying the expectations of two tiers of customers: the resident customer, such as Helen, and the purchasing customer, her daughter Ellen. By means of a mission statement, the Assisted Living Federation of America (ALFA), a leading trade association of assisted - living providers, offers the following: "... a special combination of hous- ing, supportive services, personalized assistance, and health care designed to respond to the individual needs of those who need help with activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). Supportive services are available 24 hours a day to meet scheduled and unscheduled needs in a way that pro- motes maximum dignity and independence for each resident and involves the resident's family, neighbors, and friends." To understand the industry is to understand why there is no common definition of assisted living. Resisting the federal regula- tory interventions that have hobbled the nursing -home industry, assisted - living providers have chosen to work with state agencies to 46 American Demographics iu1v 1997 self - define quality standards, measurement, and monitoring approaches. Each of the 50 state departments of social services or public health responsible for licensing assisted - living facilities has different parameters and restrictions, as well as different monikers to designate the residences. Specific regulatory requirements, including whether a state requires a Certificate of Need for new res- idences, can be found on the Internet by contacting individual states' web sites. The majority of facilities are freestanding, but they may also be part of a continuing -care retirement community, seniors' apart- ment complex, or wing or floor of a nursing home. Ownership and operations vary, too. Most of the largest multi - facility providers are publicly held and managed as for -profit businesses. There are exceptions; the largest operator is the Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society, a not - for - profit organization that manages 6,531 beds in 22 states, according to a 1995 study by the American Health Care Association. Ninety percent of assisted - living services are paid for with pri- vate funds. The remaining 10 percent are covered by Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Social Security Block Grants, and other entitlement programs. Forty -two percent of all facilities receive state program assistance for residents, according to a 1995 American Health Care Association study. Many states are experi- menting with expanding assisted living to low- income seniors through waivers to the federal Medicaid program. "What's needed is a Day's Inn version to give middle -class peo- ple the security of affordable housing and limited amenities in a reasonable price range;' says Keith Knapp, immediate past presi- dent of the American College of Health Care Administrators and vice president of the Broadhurst Group in Louisville, Kentucky. The college runs a professional certification program for nursing -home and assisted - living facility administrators. Right now, though, the industry is poised to attract high -end Assisted living emphasizes the social and personal requirements of residents who need some assistance with daily activities and health care, but who desire and deserve to age with dignity. consumers: seniors aged 75 and older who meet the entry criteria of at least $25,000 in annual net income, no combative or disruptive behaviors, and the ability to pay monthly rental fees of $2,000 or more. At the low end, assisted living may cost between $935 and $1,500 per month with few frills. At the top end, a private two -bed- room suite with minimal to moderate levels of personal care may go for as much as $3,700 a month, depending on market conditions influencing pricing. Current customers for assisted living tend to have personal assets ranging from about $100,000 to nearly $300,000. They do not, as a rule, resort to selling their homes to finance the cost of care in an assisted - living residence. In other words, they are a good risk. And even if they are unable to meet their financial commitments at some point down the road, they often have middle -aged children in their peak earning years with the reserves to cover their parents' housing mode of choice. A PLACE TO CALL HOME The place that 86- year -old Helen now calls home is an attractive three- story, neo- Victorian Sunrise Assisted Living residence in Fairfax, Virginia. This residence is tastefully appointed both inside and out, with the feel of a fine resort hotel, only homi- er. An elegant staircase graces the main lobby. Reproduction furnishings are tastefully clustered in a homelike manner in areas inviting private conversation or activities like chess, Scrabble, or solitary reading. Common areas include several enclosed sun WHERE OPPORTUNITY LIES (percent distribution of industry executive respondents attitudes toward the supply and demand status of selected types of senior housing, 199S) 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% ■ supply > demand 0 demand= supply demand > supply Sourer The State ofSentws Housing, Coopers & Ly6rm7d forAmerimn Seniors Hawing Auodatim Executives in the business of providing housing for the elderly see the biggest opportunities in the assisted - living sector. porches, a sprawling veranda with white wooden rockers, a comfortable library, a billiards room, a television room, and a common dining room that resembles a fine restaurant rather than a place where 57 people take their meals at two seatings. The overall impression is that no expense has been spared in the design, decoration, or attention to detail. Individual units, individual apartments, or shared rooms are clustered in groupings of six to eight. They open in a suite -like fash- ion into a common sitting area or small living room, not a corridor.

Windows look out on landscaped gardens and walkways. It feels more like a home where residents take part in daily activities of their own choosing. Helen's small furnished efficiency unit at the Sunrise residence has emergency call systems built into the bathroom and next to the bed. It has a small pantry containing a refrigerator and sink. On a daily basis, the housekeeping staff comes in to clean and freshen the linens; they also do residents' personal laundry. A care manager greets Helen every morning at 8:00 a.m. and helps her get out of bed, bathe, and dress for breakfast. The same care manager also helps her with her medications. At least six scheduled activities take place every day, from exer- cise classes to bridge tournaments and guest lectures. A van shuttle service offers the chance to get out of the house. The local drugstore is the most popular stop, followed by a nearby mass merchandiser. Residents receive three meals a day in a common dining room, but they are also free to stock up on food to keep in their refrigerators for when they crave a late -night snack or want to host company in their private quarters. One of the beauties of this industry is its individuality. Twice a year, Karrington Health Inc. CEO Rick Slager puts in his turn as resident assistant at the Columbus, Ohio facility. He loads up the van with anyone who wants to go to a local sporting event or zoo. There's always an element of fun in the air and always something no one would expect taking place in a home for the aging. As much as developers rely on architects and designers to create the rich appeal of a facility, they rely just as much, if not more, on the creativity and dedication of the people they hire to plan and carry out daily activities on site. "It's the life blood of our industry, says one general manager for a Brighton Gardens property of Marriott Senior Living Services. "If we fail to meet the mark on that count, we fail to meet the needs of our customers." THE DEMANDS OF CAREGIVING Before Helen settled into her new situation, Ellen traveled to her mother's home each Saturday to look after shopping, cleaning, and American Demographics July 1997 47 Comparing the Options 0 Ider and disabled Americans have a growing variety of housing and ser- vice choices available to them, aside from fully institutionalized nursing -home care. The appropriate option for any given individ- ual will depend on the type of assistance he or she needs, as well as financial resources and lifestyle preferences. Here are descriptions of the major categories, along with their advan- tages, shortcomings, and average costs. INDEPENDENT LIVING Individuals reside in their own home or apart- ment. Family or volunteer caregivers may pro- vide varying levels of supportive services such as shopping, transportation, light housekeep- ing, and meal preparation. Advantages: Affords maximum autonomy and privacy with little or no added out -of- pocket expenditures. Disadvantages: May limit social contact within the community. Is often not an option in cases where substantial physical or other support becomes necessary. Cost: Free, except for value of caregivers' time. ASSISTED INDEPENDENT LIVING Communities offer a range of services to the elderly based on local demand. Offered by pri- vate businesses, public agencies, civic groups, nonprofit and religious organizations, they are designed to offer companionship and support to those living independently. Examples include: adult day -care programs, senior cen- ters, meal programs, transportation services, telephone reassurance and visitor services, and homemaker or chore services. Costs may be subsidized in part by the government or other source, making these options attractive to individuals requiring minimal assistance. Advantages: Promotes independence by providing social stimulation, mobility, nutri- tional, and other types of support. Disadvantages: Availability of services and providers may vary. Cost: Ranges from free to upward of $500 per week. Adult day care, for instance, aver- ages $30 per day. Companion services run $5 to $15 per hour. Live -in homemakers receive between $100 and $400 per week, plus room and board. Homemaker services (i.e., help with housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation, bathing, and dressing) run $8 to $30 per hour. These expenses are generally not covered by insurance. HOME HEALTH CARE Following a hospital stay for any number of serious events or injuries, discharge planning may include medical supervision, in -home care, and rehabilitative services coordinated through a home health agency. Requiring a physician's authorization in order to be cov- ered by Medicare, Medicaid, or any other third- other personal needs. The routine took at least six hours out of a day she would have rather spent watching her youngest daughter's soccer game, her son's marching band performances, catching up with two daughters home from college, and spending time with her husband Victor. After several months of this routine, she began to feel like everyone's needs came before hers. Helen called her daughter at the office at least twice a day about seemingly insignificant matters. She also needed transportation to the store and doctor appointments during the week. The interrup- tions affected Ellen's concentration, her Job performance, and pos- sible consideration for promotion at the public relations agency 48 American Demographics luiy !99% parry payor, home care is viewed as a medical intervention to allow an individual to return to his or her highest level of health and function- al ability. Advantages: Nursing assessment, interven- tion, and rehabilitative care are covered by most insurance providers on a per -visit basis. Home care allows individuals to recover from an acute or chronic health episode in their home. Disadvantages: Claims and service autho- rizations are subject to delays, federal scrutiny, and potential for rejection under fraud and abuse statutes, putting the patient at risk for financial responsibility for portions not cov- ered by insurers. Cost: $83 to $90 per visit by a registered nurse (on average), S50 per hour for in -home care by a home - health aide (the average visit being two to four hours). If durable medical equipment or medical supplies are required, the cost will be higher. CONTINUING -CARE RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES Appealing to reasonably affluent, active, and otherwise healthy adults, continuing -care retirement communities, or CCRCs, offer secu- rity, social interaction, recreational activities, and other services in a campus -like setting. They frequently offer amenities such as golf courses, swimming pools, health spas, and common meeting centers. CCRCs provide a where she worked as an account executive. Although her employer granted maternity and child -care leaves of absence, there were no such provisions for eldercare. Ellen had discussed with her mother the idea of hiring someone local to come into Helen's home to help out three days a week. After interviewing and rejecting Five qualified prospective candidates, and three turbulent in -home trial periods of those deemed most suitable, they were back to where they started. Then the mother and daughter pursued the alternative of assisted living, something that had been suggested by a hospital discharge planner when Helen was recovering from her fall. It worked out. range of housing and services from indepen- dent living in cluster homes or condominiums to skilled nursing -home care. Also known as life -care communities, residents purchase life- time access to housing and medical care through the same provider organization. Advantages: Maximum elite privileges of independent and semi- independent living, including access to emergency services, med- ical, and skilled nursing care as needed. Frequently affiliated with religious groups, these communities attract individuals of com- mon interests and beliefs, a plus for socializa- tion. Disadvantages: Cost and availability pro- hibit many consumers from this option. Consumers should investigate the financial solvency and performance of providers before entering into a lifetime contractual agreement. Cost: Steep. Entrance fees may range from $5,000 to $300,000, but aren't always required. A typical one - bedroom unit may cost in the range of $60,000 to $90,000 a year, depending on the number and type of services desired. This housing option is essentially limited to individuals with annual incomes of $40,000 or more. Unless skilled nursing care is warranted, all expenses are out of pocket. ASSISTED LIVING Assisted - living facilities combine the advan- tages of independent housing, supportive ser- vices, and social activity. Facilities offer individ- ual apartments or rooms, meals, housekeeping and laundry services, transportation, assis- tance with basic activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), along with ongoing health and activi- ty supervision. Advantages: Allows frail elderly individuals to live and function in a safe, homelike envi- ronment. Differing from institutional models of care, the philosophy of assisted living stress- es independence, personal dignity, and involvement of family and friends. Cognitively impaired individuals are not excluded from residence if they meet other entrance criteria. Most facilities have separate wings or resi- dences to accommodate their special needs. Disadvantages: Prospective residents must satisfy the provider's financial, behavioral, and medical standards. Although new construction is underway in many prime markets, some analysts predict that oversupply could occur. Cost:The average per -diem rate for the industry is $72. Most facilities charge $1,500 or Ellen's situation is typical of one set of today's consumers, who are arranging care for elderly parents. Barbara's typifies another type of consumer. At age 73, Barbara has cared for a disabled son, Robert, at home For more than 40 vears. She and her husband, Bob, wanted to take an Alaskan cruise they'd saved for and ahvays dreamed about, but Finding someone to take care of Robert for the two weeks they were away was problematic. A social worker famil- iar with Robert's case recommended a recently opened residence in nearbv Abington, Pennsvlvania, that was accepting residents for short -term respite care. Through the coordination of care with the facility and a local home - health agency providing skilled nursing more per month, depending upon the services required. BOARD- AND -CARE HOMES Known by a number of monikers, board -and- care homes offer sheltered housing to a vari- ety of physically or cognitively challenged adults. They do not cater exclusively to the needs of the frail elderly. Sleeping accommo- dations are generally shared, and there are communal bathrooms. Supervisory oversight may be provided by on -site staff or contracted through area agencies. Board - and -care facili- ties are generally run by smaller, independent operators. They accept private payment or state funds under Medicare or Medicaid. Like assisted - living facilities, they may be subject to inspection and licensure under state Departments of Social Services or Departments of Health. Advantages: Supportive assistance with Activities of Daily Life and Instrumental Activities of Daily Life, along with meals, housekeeping and laundry, 24 -hour supervi- sion, and security. Disadvantages: Board - and -care homes do not cater exclusively to the frail elderly, and do not generally offer private accommodations. Allowable nursing, medical, and mental health services vary from state to state. Cost: Widely variable, but under public - assistance programs, about $1,500 per month. —Linda J. Barton care on site, Robert enjoyed a change of scenery, and his parents enjoyed fulfilling a lifelong dream. Robert's stay was shorter than average, but for most assisted -liv- ing residents, the stay is not a permanent one.

DEMAND AND SUPPLY The number of people like Ellen and Barbara, who are responsible for looking after an aging parent or close relative in addition to the demands of paid work and family life, is decidedly on the upswing. Living longer does not necessarily mean living better in later ,years. 50 American Demographics July 1997 Although the picture of aging has improved, the onset of chronic conditions and the likelihood of living alone increases with age. By age 65,69 percent of Americans live with one or more chronic con- ditions. Those who make it to age 85 are more likely than the younger old to live alone: 29 percent of all men and 57 percent of all women aged 85 -plus are on their own. Nearly half of people aged 35 and older require some assis- tance with at least one activity of daily living (ADL), such as bathing, dressing, getting in and out of a chair or bed, or some Instrumental Activity of Daily Living (IADL), such as meal preparation, shopping, taking medications properly, paying bills, or using the telephone. This old -old age cohort will grow from 4.5 million today to 7 million by 2020, according to Census Bureau projections. In increments, the 85 -plus population will grow 39 percent during the 1990s and 33 percent in the following decade. The shortage of caregivers will reach critical proportions as the age wave crests in the year 2010. The number of available family and unrelated caregivers, primarily women aged 50 to 64, will shrink in proportion to the number of dependents with chronic conditions or disabilities, according to a study prepared for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation by the Institute for Health & Aging at the University of California in San Francisco. In 1990, the ratio of potential caregivers aged 50 to 64 to persons aged 85 and older was 11 to 1. By the year 2010, it will be 10 to 1, and by 2030,6 to 1. There may be as few as 20,000 and as many as 40,000 assisted -liv- ing, board - and -care, or other types of residences serving 1 million residents, according to most industry surveys. This is an inexact number, since the waning demand for skilled- nursing -home beds is causing large multi - facility providers to divest themselves of unprofitable properties or to convert existing space to subacute units or residential adult care. Increasingly, nursing homes and independent- living providers are planning for sustained growth in special service offerings to meet the demands of Alzheimer's patients and others with cognitive impairments. At present, development of new facilities and conversion of exist- ing ones has been strongest in selected regions. Developers have identified locations in Florida, Texas, New Jersey, Pennsvlvania, The emphasis in building design and decor is on common areas where residents can congregate and families feel welcome. California, Washington, D.C. area, North Carolina, Washington, and Ohio —not just due to favorable demographics, but to the rela- tive absence of regulatory impediments in these states. Its important to recognize that assisted living is a highly local- ized product. What might appeal to people living in Ocean Countv, New Jersey, might not appeal to residents of Union, Essex, L[orris, or Bergen counties, even though they're only a few miles away New Jersey has become a ripe market for cultivation, because many counties have both a high con- centration of elderly people and an exceptionally high per- capita income. This is also true in the greater Washington, D.C. area, where Marriott Senior Living Services and Sunrise Assisted Living, Inc. have established a strong presence. Demand is also strong in the outlying suburbs of Philadelphia, where a private -pay market prevails. Although there are and will be opportunities for small N[om -and -Pop operators to thrive in this industry, acqui- sition fever among the larger players favors multi - facility operations that have already established name recogni- tion and locations in key markets where start -up costs outweigh the cost of purchasing an existing provider. In terms of size, smaller seems to work better. On aver- age, facilities are constructed to house between 30 and 60 residents, promoting a non - institutional atmosphere and optimizing economies of scale. The emphasis in building design and decor is on common areas where residents can congregate and families feel welcome. Sunrise Assisted Living's success formula relies on dedicating about 40 per- cent of each facility's square footage to common use. "That way, people can mingle the same way they do within a com- munity," says CEO Paul Klaassen, an industry pioneer. Analysts are optimistic that the window of opportunity wil'. remain strong into the next decade. The limiting factors will bt market saturation and regulatory encroachment. There are com- pelling arguments for both more and less regulation of assisted - living facilities. Will they ever replace nursing homes? "Not in tht current climate," says Paul Willging, executive vice president o. the American Health Care Association. "There will be sustainec demand for both types of services. 4Ve are taking a strong stand Assisted- living facilities are constructed to house 30 to 60 residents, promoting a non - institutional atmosphere and optimizing economies of scale.

Ordinance No. 2224 (Tabled 7114/97) At the July 14, 1997 meeting, after closing the public hearing, the City Council tabled action on this item pending further discussion at a workshop on July 21, 1997. This item is now ready for action based on the direction given by the City Council at the workshop. The following background information is provided on this issue of removing Hightower Drive from the Master Thoroughfare Plan. Hightower Drive is designated on the Master Thoroughfare Plan as a C4U Major Collector extending from Rufe Snow Drive to Eden Rd. The roadway is open except for two segments, one between Smithfield Rd. and Davis Blvd. and the other a distance of approximately 900 feet immediately west of Eden Rd. There-is no right -of -way dedication for the 900 foot section west of Eden Rd. or for approximately 250 feet of the section west of Davis Blvd. The elevation of the property west of Davis Blvd. is quite severe and creates somewhat of an engineering difficulty for design and construction for this section of road. The Planning and Zoning Commission considered the proposal to remove Hightower Drive from the Master Thoroughfare Plan at its June 12, 1997 meeting upon a citizen request. Many of the adjacent property owners voiced support for the removal of Hightower Dr. from the Master Thoroughfare Plan contending that Hightower Drive was no longer needed as a major collector since the Rumfield Rd. / Starnes Rd. connection between Rufe Snow Drive and Precinct Line Road is proposed for completion in the near future. The Rumfield Rd. I Starnes Rd. collector is designated as a C2U on the Master Thoroughfare Plan. The City received a letter from Patsy Smith, President of the Herman Smith & Company, stating her company's objection to the removal of Hightower Drive from the Master Thoroughfare Plan. In her letter (copy attached), she states the importance of Hightower Drive as being beneficial and necessary to long -term development and future access. A second letter (copy attached) was received from Vicki Smith Weinberg, Montclair Parc, Inc. voicing support for retaining Hightower Drive as a collector, but not objecting to it being downgraded from a C4U to a C2U.

Sufficient Funds Available Operating Budget Other Finance Director Depaffmeht Head Signature U V City Mana r CITY COUNCIL ACTION ITEM CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS From a planning perspective, staff feels it is good planning practice to develop and retain a thoroughfare collector street system which is continuous and without missing segments. It should be noted that the City has collected street escrow for Hightower Drive as a C4U street between Smithfield Rd. and Davis Blvd. These escrow's concern Hightower Drive east and west of Timberlane Drive. Full width right -of -way has been dedicated from Smithfield Road to Lowery Lane. Half the right -of -way has been dedicated for a C41.1 from Lowery Lane east to within 250 feet of the Davis Blvd. right -of -way. The Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a Public Hearing and considered this request at its June 12, 1997 meeting and recommended approval by a vote of 6 -0 with the following recommendation: "(1) delete Hightower Drive from the Master Thoroughfare Plan west of Davis Blvd. to Timberlane Drive, (2) downgrade Hightower Drive west of Timberlane Dr. to Smithfield Rd. from a C4U to a C2U, and (3) downgrade Hightower Drive east of Davis Blvd. to Eden Rd. from a C4U to a C2U." The attached ordinance has been prepared to reflect the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission.

It has been Herman Smith & Co.'s understanding that east -west traffic flow would be beneficial and necessary to long -term development and future access. The City has spent long hours in developing the Master Thoroughfare Plan and we hereby request that no revisions be made with regard to deleting sections of Hightower Drive. Sincerely, Patsy R. Smith President /PC HAND DELIVERED 1903 CENTRAL DRIVE. SUITE 443. BEDFORD, TEXAS 76021. (4171 5.u"942. FAX 0417) 35-44204 f r -/ / folmclaz�, -0�/�C, Y/zc. June 23, 1997 Mr. C. A. Sanford City Manager, City of North Richland Hills 7301 N. E. Loop 820 North Richland Hills, TX 76180 Re: Hightower Road Extension Dear Mr. Sanford, It has recently come to my attention that the City of North Richland Hills is considering doing away with the Hightower Rd. extension to Eden Rd. As an affected landowner and very interested party I would like to state that I emphatically support the P & Z ComTmi.ssion's recomendation that the extension be left in the Master Plan, just downsized from C4 to C2. As you know, I developed 114 lots on or near Hightower, (Stoneridge Subdivision) and now hold most of these lots. Approximately 20 of these lots have homes being built or lived in at this time. Each and every purchaser has been told that Hightower will eventually connect to Eden Rd. Further, all of the homeowners I have spoken to in the surrounding subdivisions believe that Hightower Rd. will, in the future, be tied to Eden Rd. Many of the persons in this area have made significant and longterm economic and personal decisions based on the City's Master Plan. For North Richland Hills to change that plan at this time would be unfair to literally hundreds of residents in the affected area. Elected officials are often called upon to make difficult decisions. They must weigh the pros and cons of each situation and cast their votes so as to benefit their city in the greatest possible way. Using this standard, I feel that the citizens of North Richland Hills would benefit the most if the Hightower extension was left in the Master Plan. As mentioned earlier, I have no problem with the downsizing, but do protest the total elimination. Thank you for your time and consideration, and feel free to distribute this letter to the council persons. Si��``cerely, , - � l Vicki Smith Weinberg 138 Grapevine Highway. Hurst. Texas 76o54.

CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: Public Works Council Meeting Date: 7/28/97 Permanently Close Galway Lane /Northridge Subject: Boulevard to Throunh Traffir. - OrdinnncP Nn 972.9 (Tabled 7/14/97) Agenda Number: _SN A7 -RR A petition was received from 11 of the 15 residents fronting or siding on Galway Lane requesting it be closed. Galway Lane changes to Northridge Boulevard at the sough property line of Norich Park. There are 35 properties which front or side Northridge Boulevard from Norich Park to Harwood Road. None of these people were contacted about the petition, but were notified of the public hearing on July 14th. This street is the only connection between Emerald Hills Way and Harwood Road from Davis Boulevard to Grapevine Highway. It is used as access to the park from either direction and for transporting children to Carrie F. Thomas Elementary School. Staff was directed to place this item on the Council Agenda. If the Council approves this ordinance, staff would recommend the barricading for closure be located across the street in line with the south property line of Norich Park. This will allow the Norich Park parking lot to serve as a turn around for garbage trucks and other traffic. A letter notifying all adjacent residents of the City Council considering this street closure at the July 14th meeting was placed on their door Thursday, June 5, 1997. After closing the public hearing, this item was tabled for further discussion. A Council worksession was held on July 21, 1997 to discuss this issue. Recommendations from that meeting as an alternative to closing the street are listed below: City staff will install two road humps with appropriate signs on Galway Lane. One at the south side of Norich Park and one at the north side of the park. 2. City staff will install two park identification signs on either side of the park. 3. Speed limit on Galway Lane across the park frontage can be reduced from 30 mph to 15 mph. Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council consider the staff recommendations listed above and leave this section of roadway open. Source of Funds: Bonds (GO /Rev.)

Following the Board's direction, North Hills Mall was contacted and a meeting was arranged to discuss the possibility of a donated store front for an Off -site Adoption Center and Gift Shop during the months of August through December. After meeting with Manager Debra Lowe, a proposal was forwarded to her for consideration. The proposal asked the Mall to donate an empty store front to be used as an Off -Site Adoption Center where dogs and cats from the Animal Services Center could be adopted. Ms. Lowe has agreed to provide the space for the Center free of charge for August through December as a trial, and has forwarded the attached lease for space #720 in the Mall. The only stipulation is that the City must satisfy the insurance requirement which indemnifies the mall from suits or damages as regards patrons of the Center. Resolution No 97 -31 has been prepared by City Attorney Rex McEntire to satisfy this requirement. The "Critter Connection" Off -Site Adoption Center will be open one or two Saturdays each month and gill be staffed by volunteers who will work as adoption counselors. No animals will be held over -night m the Mall, rather they will be transported each morning and evening. No paid staff will work in the store front; however, they will be transporting animals to and from the Mall on the days the Adoption Center will be open. Gift items will be available for sale in the store front, the proceeds of which will go to the Shelter Fund. Blockbuster Video's District Office contacted the Center recently and asked to be involved in opening and operating the Off -Site Adoption Center. They have agreed to provide volunteers from their staff to work in the Center and to help set it up and design the displays for the Mall space. The Animal Services Center staff is excited about this partnership which will help make the Off -Site Adoption Center a success. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council approve the "Critter Connection" Off -site Adoption Center to operate in North Hills Mall, to authorize the Mayor to sign lease agre and to approve the Resolution No 97 -31 indemnifying North Hills Mall.

This year's event will include Haltom City, Richland Hills and Watauga and will be a joint effort between the four cities. The committee has chosen the parking lot of Richland Plaza Mall for the site of the event. John Staples of Staples Management and Investments has been contacted and agreed to allow the event to be held on the parking lot of the Mall; however, he asked for indemnification from accident or injury to those working at and attending the event. Resolution No 97 -32 prepared by City Attorney Rex McEntire satisfies this requirement. Each participating city will be required to provide this indemnification. This year's event will feature four spotlights: "Dunk Your Junk Mail" for residents, "Clean Out Your Files Day" for businesses, "Paws to Recycle" and "Apartments Recycle Day." The goal is to raise awareness and promote recycling as a total community effort. This year we have several sponsors including Laidlaw Wastes Systems and Rock Tenn. There will '�e events for children and all aluminum cans collected will benefit the Animal Services Center. The location was chosen because of its proximity to all participating cities. There will be no hazardous waste materials collected and all materials that are not recyclable will be removed by Laidlaw at no charge. Volunteers from all four cities will be encouraged to participate in the event.

In this process, I have reviewed the information you provided to me and made a cursory inspection of the parcels to be appraised. It is my understanding that the assignment encompasses eleven (11) parcels including street widenings. The appraisals will be in a limited summary report format, and will not include a valuation of the properties "as improved "; i. e., land value estimates only will be presented. In addition, one copy (unless otherwise specified) will be provided of each parcel. The following is my proposed fee for the project, as well as the enhancement study: Appraisal Proposal: FEE PROPOSAL: 11 Right -Of -Way Appraisals: $ 3,850. Enchancement Study $2,850. Total Fee Estimate $ 6,700. TIME TO BE COMPLETED: 45 days from the date of engagement If any of the parcels require an update to a full narrative report, the cost will be $1,250 per appraisal. (Note: This cost would be lower if there are several appraisals requiring a full narrative format that are ordered at the same time; i. e., a volume discount would be reflected.) The above fee proposal is based on the awarding of both assignments in one package, and if you are in agreement with these terms, please sign in the space provided below and return to me at your earliest convenience. Thank you Mark for the opportunity to bid on this project, and please call me if you have any questions. Mr. Mark Bradley Page 2 Sincerely, FERREE & SEARCY, INC. J. K.
