After further investigation by staff, we have decided to not recommend any change in the existing 30 mph speed limit on Shady Grove. No Council action is required. Works/Utilities ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HilLS, TEXAS I I e I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I I Ie I .- ,""- City of J\8rth Richland Hills, Texas February 21, 990 To: Mayor and City Council From: Attorney for the City Subj: TU Rate Increase The TU filed its appeal of the City Council's action in denying its rate increase. The appeal appears to have been filed on February 20, 1990. It was served upon us on February 21, 1990. The appeal requests the Public Utility Commission to grant a rate increase to be effective on an interim basis until the case is finally heard by the Commission. It does, however, request that the interim rates be set and uniformly applied to the entire TU system. I do not know what has happened to the membership of the Consortium which was formed to contest this rate increase. Arlington and Irving were represented at the pre-hearing conference in Austin. Also several electric cooperatives appear to be vigorously contesting the case along with a few other large consumers and a citizen group. I am presuming that the Council does not wish to have this City participate in the case. We have been served and, of course, are subject to default if an answer is not filed. It appears that we have until Friday, March 9, 1990 to file an answer. I believe that some cities suspended the rates and will not. be forced to lose jurisdiction of the rate case until sometime in the middle of May, when they deny the increase. This may have the effect of preventing the interim rates from taking effect immediately, if the Commission is of a mind to grant them. If the council wishes me to do anything in the connection with this case, it should advise me at the pre-council meeting on February 26th. Rex McEntire (817) 281-G041 . 7301 N.E. LOOP 120 P.O.

I I I I I I I i I~ I I INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. 90-28 Date: February 22, 1990 Subject: Freeport Exemption (Amendment 5) In December 1989, City Council approved Ordinance No. 1653, denying the Freeport Tax Exemption and authorizing the taxation of the appraised value of short term business inventories (goods in transit). Staff was directed to study the effect of the Freeport Tax Exemption if it were approved at a later date. The State Property Tax Board has surveyed 974 Texas cities and found that 419 (43%) have voted to continue to levy the freeport tax in 1990 as did NRH. A total of 555 cities chose to grant the exemption. c. A. Sanford contacted our larger industries in NRH to determine the impact on their operations were the city to continue the policy of taxing freeport goods. C. A. found that this is not a matter of concern to our existing industry. Companies are not required to render their inventories to TAD until April 1, 1990. Because of this, our estimate of the tax dollars which would be lost to our community were City Council to approve the Freeport Tax Exemption is no more accurate than it was last December. TAD will not have these figures computed until late August. Lee Maness had originally estimated that $65,000 could possibly be lost to the city if the exemption were approved by City Council. Since that time, and discovering that Sealy Matress and Carlisle would not qualify for a freeport exemption, Lee now estimates that the loss of revenue would be $30,000 to $35,000. In summary, some advantages and disadvantages for City Council to consider in reviewing the Freeport Exemption. Advantages Disadvantages 1. Stimulate economic development. 1. Lost tax revenues. 2. NRH has 5 industrial areas and a large inventory of undeveloped land. 2. NRH has 5 industrial areas and a large inventory of undeveloped land. 3. Not all incoming industry would qualify for Freeport Exemption. 3. TAD figures not available until August so we don't know the actual impact CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS I . I .1 e I ! I I I ! I ¡I I I I I I I- I I I I I I I I I~ I II Page Two 4. Shows aggressive attitude by city relative to growth. 4. Limited tax loss to current industry that qualifies for exemption. 5. Allows NRH to compete with other cities (i.e. Ft. Worth) which have granted the Freeport Exemption. 5. Once rescinded, the free- port tax may not be reinstated. Having taken action prior to January 1990, City Council will have to take no further action as long as it is the desire of the City to continue to levy the freeport tax. Council can, at any later date, grant the freeport exemption. HOWEVER, ONCE OFFICIAL ACTION IS TAKEN TO RESCIND A DECISION TO TAX FREEPORT PROPERTY, THE CITY MAY NOT REINSTATE THE FREEPORT TAX AT ANY FUTURE DATE.* *A summary of those sections of the Texas State Constitution pertaining to the freeport exemption has been provided by Jay Kayne and is attached for reference. In view of the fact that we will be able, at any future time, to grant the Freeport Exemption if it is determined to be desirable to do so, it is proposed that we take no action at this time.

This informal report is submitted to Council as an update on the actions taken to date. Staff has researched federal and state programs to determine if NRH would qualify for either an Urban Development Action Grant (UDAG) or for the establishment of an Enterprise Zone. Bottom line, relative to receiving "outside" assistance to be utilized in a redevelopment program, is that NRH, generally, does not qualify because of: (1) a limited "minority" population; (2) few of our citizens qualify under "poverty" guidelines; and, (3) NRH has no truly "decaying or dilapidated" inner city type areas. Staff contacted the American Planing Association (APA) to seek information relative to redevelopment districts throughout the United States. APA could provide us only one example - from the City of Aurora, Colorado. Elements of the Aurora program which could be utilized in NRH are limited. We then began investigating internalized programs which could be offered by the City of NRH to upgrade those areas of our community which are deteriorating. A number of possible programs have been identified - some of which include: 1. The continued use of Community Development Block Grant funding to upgrade the infrastructure in these areas. 2. Getting property owners, in qualifying areas, more involved with the Tarrant County Housing Rehabilitation Program. 3. Establishing a separate "Tax Abatement Program" in these areas to be utilized as an incentive for development and/or redevelopment.

More stringent code enforcement. Steps moving forward, include: Step Investigate CDBG options through meeting with Winn Carver at Tarrant County. Discuss Tax Abatement possibilities with Jay Kayne. Define and map areas to be included in recommended program. Investigate Housing Rehabilitation Program through meeting with Will Carver at Tarrant County.

State Property Tax Board Volume 12, Number 8 Austin, Texas February 1990 Board approves application form for 1990 freeport exemption Texas property owners may apply for 1990 tax exemptions for freeport goods using a new application form developed by the SPTB. Meeting in Austin January 10, the Board approved the new form on an emergency basis, to take effect immediatel y. For the rule to become permanent, the Board must approve a fmal version of the form before six months elapse. In the meantime, the SPTB staff will monitor any problems with the new form and, if necessary, suggest changes to be incorporated into the final version. Last November, Texas voters passed a constitutional amendment exempting free- port goods (those transported out of Texas within 175 days of the date when the owner acquires them or brings them into the state) from property taxation, effective January 1, 1990. The amendment authorized counties, cities, school districts, and junior college districts, but not special districts, to continue taxing freeport goods. (The majority of local taxing units are exercising their option to retain the freeport tax in 1990; see sidebar on Page 2.) Information requested on the new application form will enable chief appraisers to determine the percentage of the market value of the owner's inventory that is contributed by goods in transit. The Board approved a form that had been revised from the SPTB staffs original proposal to reflect concerns of the Texas Association of Taxpayers, chief appraisers, tax agents, and other interested parties. The original draft form required property owners to provide the total cost of their inventories for the preceding year.. as well as the cost of items qualifying for the exemption. The percentage of cost would help to indicate the percentage of value. This draft also required applicants to break down the cost of finished goods.. raw materials, supplies, and com- ponent parts. Comments from the Texas Association of Taxpayers revealed major concerns about the amount of information required by the draft form. Discussions between the SPTB staff and taxpayer representatives resulted in a compromise: namely, that the form ask for the cost of goods sold rather than total inventory cost. Copies of the rule and of the two-page Application Form for Exemption of Goods Exported From Texas ("Freeport Exemp- tion") were mailed to chief appraisers in mid-January. Others may ootain copies by contacting the SPTB Tax Information Sec- tion, at (800)252-9121 or (512)329-7901. Also at its January 10 meeting, the Board approved the creation of a Technical Advisory Committee, as required by an amendment to the Property Tax Code made by the legislature that continued the SPTB in existence pursuant to the Sunset Act. This committee will review the methodology used in SPTB's Property Value Study and will report to the Board yearly on its fmdings and recommendations. The committee will include five members: three independent experts in fields related to ratio studies, one See BOARD, p. 2 In this issue. . . ~ March 2 is the deadline for protesting the preliminary findings of SPTB's 1989 Property Value Study.

The constitutional amendment adopted by Texas voters last November gave counties, cities, school districts, and junior college districts the option to continue taxing freeport goods: special districts ( other than junior college districts) may not.

(To complete the tally for the Denton, Gregg, Tarrant.. and Wichita CADs, the SPTB staff gathered information from local chambers of commerce and other taxing jurisdictions.) Overall, 1,414 of the 2,332 taxing units surveyed-61 percent-have elected to retain the freeport tax in 199Ó. Nearly three-quarters of all counties and school districts statewide have voted to continue levying the freeport tax this year.

Preliminary study results were mailed to chief appraisers and school superintendents on January 26. Though the study was not yet available when ST A TE- MENT went to press, a future issue will summarize the results. Along with the Property Value Study itself, the January 26 mailing also included other materials designed to help districts decide whether to appeal the findings, and outlining the steps and timetable for the appeals process. In particular, the pamphlet entitled How to Protest the Preliminary Findings o/the 1989 Property Value Study contains useful suggestions for preparing an appeal. The appeals timetable is as follows: March 2" 1990: Deadline for Submitting Petition and Evidence. By this date. petitioners must have prepared and mailed all forms and all supporting evidence and statements. (A sample protest petition and other forms were included in the January 26 mailing.) Only one "Petition Protesting 1989 Property Value Study" form is required, but petitioners must submit a "Statement of Protest and Evidence" form for each property category protested, and an "Evidence Affi- cia vit" sheet for each person presenting evidence. A district may not submit evidence after March 2, nor present evidence to either the hearings panel or on appeal to the SPTB that was not contained in the original petition. A petition may be supplemented, changed, or withdrawn before March 2, but not afterward. For good cause, the SPTB may . extend the deadline for filing evidence up to 1 0 cia ys if the district requests the extension - See APPEALS, p. 5 STATEMENT/February 1990 ~- CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS I ~Department: Finance , , (f Subject: , I, 1)1 ~]I Iii III ~! ~! .. ~ h 1 d· tr· tha ed · di ed th th h tak .

The estiInateà potential loss in tax dollars to the City of North Richland Hills is approximately $65,000. The options available to the City to tax or exempt the property are outlined as follows: 1. If official action is taken by the City to tax such property before January 1, 1990, such property will remain taxable. ..., L. I= official action is taken prior to April 1, 1990 but after January 1, 1990, the official action shall not became effective to tax such property until the 1991 ta..': year. We would not collect tax on exempt prope~J for 1990. 3. If no official action is taken the exemption automatically goes into effect for tax year 1990. 4. The final option available to the City is to take official action as stated in category #1 aOOve and give consideration to the exemption in future years. Recœmendation: It is the recœmendation of staff that City Council consider the merits of the first item discussed pertaining to the freeIX'rt arnendrrent.

Mayor Pro Tern Davis moved, seconded by Councilman Garvin, to approve Ordinance No. 1653, denying the Freeport Tax Exemption, and with the stipulation that a detailed study be made on the impact and that the study be presented to the Council prior to April 1st.

Mayor Arown indicated that he is aware of the need for minimizing the tax rate, but feels that some street improvement needs are critical and that the streets that now appear to be most urgently needed are not necessarily the same as those identified in the 1985 Bond Referendum. Mayor Brown suggested the possibility of reactivating the citizens committee which recommended the bond program in 1985; creating a new citizens study committee; conducting a new bond. election; or finding some other means of continuing this badly needed program. The City Council referred this proposal to the City Manager for review and comment. The following ;s a listing of the street projects for which we have remaining unsold bonds, along with the amount originally allocated for the projects. In most cases, a small amount has been sold to enable preparation of engineering plans and purchase of right-af-way. Only in the Davis Boulevard Project have bonds been sold for construction purposes.

I I Page Two Comment In my opinion, there are street improvement needs in North Richland Hills today that would pay greater dividends than some of those identified as being top priority in 1985. For example, Rufe Snow Drive south of Loop 820 seems to be functioning reasonably well. Traffic demands on Bursey Road are not excessive, and it will probably be improved over time by the developers of the adjacent property if we are willing to wait. On the other hand, there is an urgent need for extending Industrial Park Boulevard from its terminus near the Hilltop Apartments to Loop 820; constructing a new roadway from Grapevine Highway to Booth Calloway Road just south of Loop 820; widening and improving Holiday Lane from Loop 820 northward as far as possible, etc. Several possibilities come to mind with respect to finding a way to undertake the projects described above. The alternatives which readily come to mind and my thoughts on each are as follows: Reprioritize Authorized but Unsold Bonds As suggested by Mayor Brown, this can legally be accomplished since the voters in 1985 merely authorized the issuance of bonds for street improvements purposps. There is no legal obligation to improve the streets included in the original program. However, I thipk a great deal of thought must be given to this subject before proceeding. Certainly a citizen participation committee of some nature should be put in place to take the issue to the citizens and obtain their input, if this idea is pursued. However, it should be realized that the most effective imaginable citizens participation program would probably reach less than two percent of the citizens of North Richland Hills. Those in the remaining ninety-eight percent who care would always wonder why the City diverted the bond money which was "promised II to improve certain streets but was used on other streets. When this happens, the City as an institution loses creditability and finds it extremely difficult to win approval in subsequent bond elections. Conduct a New Bond Election It would be possible to conduct a new bond election to obtain financing for the street improvements that are now considered to be of highest priority. If this alternative is considered I would strongly recommend repeating the Citizens Participation Program that was so effective in 1985. This would have the advantage of allowing consideration of other types of improvements such as the swimming pool which was promised in 1985 to bp included in the next bond election, parks, etc. It would also enable us to make a new forecast of the maximum tax rate increase requirement, thereby allowing the sale of the bonds, as approved, without a loss of credibility. CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS I I I lei I I I ! I I I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I I I lei I I Page Three Issue Certificates of Obliqation The Certificates of Obligation process, which was us~d for the financing of the golf course, could be utilized for the needed improvements. This would have the advantage of leaving the allocation for the 1985 street projects intact. It would have the disadvantage of leading to a tax rate increase without the voters· sanction. Financial Considerations Our financial advisor, Mr. Harold McInroe, has advised that we could issue $5,000,000 in new debt this year with a tax rate increase next year for debt service of .0369¢. Added to our projected tax rate for servicing existing debt (.2589¢), our total tax rate for debt would be .2958¢. This would put us .0323¢ above the maximum tax rate that was forecast and advertised to the vot~rs prior to the 1985 bond election. A bond sale of $2,500,000 would a1low us to keep the Street Improvement Program moving with an additional tax rate incr~ase of 1.845¢. Council guidance is requested.

I ,Ie I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I I Ie I February 12, 1990 Page 2 Ms. Daniels thanked the Council for reinstating the Children's Librarian position. Ms. Daniels stated the national average circulation was four per capita. Ms. Daniels stated that in the 1990 Goals and Objectives the Library had presented three per capita. Ms. Daniels asked the Council to do their best to bring North Richland Hills Library materials deficit in line. Councilman Scoma stated the Park and Librarv donations had been increased $1.00 for buying more books. Councilman Scoma asked the status on the donations. Mr. Horvath stated the donations had helped. Ms. Daniels stated the wear-out on books was tremendous. Mr. Line suggested that the Library prepare a decision package for more books next budget. Councilwoman Spurlock asked about the limit of books that one person could check out at one time. Ms. Daniels stated the Library Hoard set the limit at 25 per person, but the Library did not have that many checked out at one time by one person. Councilwoman Spurlock stated she knew the Library had applied for the Hudiburg Foundation Grant for $15,000 to bar code the books. Councilwoman Spurlock asked if $15,000 would bar code all of the books. Mr. Horvath stated that $15,000 would finish the bar coding. Mayor Pro Tern Davis asked how many North Richland Hills citizens had Library cards. Ms. Daniels stated she had no idea; that she could find out. Ms. Daniels stated she did not know that the Council would be interested in the mechanics. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated he appreciated the Library's goals and objectives to increase circulation. Mayor Pro Tern Davis stated he thought it would be prudent, between now and budget time, to show facts and figures on the number of North Richland Hills citizens who had Library cards. Mayor Brown asked for an approximate figure of those using the Library. Ms. Daniels stated she did not have the figures available tonight. B) LIBRARY BOARD MINUTES No action needed. 6.

Councilman Scoma moved, seconded by Councilwoman Spurlock, to make a substitute motion making April 1, 1990 the effective date for Ms. Jones deadline and escrowing $5,000 for landscaping. Councilman Scoma stated that $2,000 to the developer may seem like a lot for landscaping, but the recent landscaping of Rufe Snow and Glenview cost $5,000. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated the Council had discussed matching funds for the Beautification Committee and was asking the developer to give the full amount. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated that without the developer being present to respond, he felt the $2,000 was fair and Council should go with what the staff recommended. Councilman Garvin stated he agreed with Mayor Pro Tern Davis; the staff had gone out õnd negotiated and he felt the Council should support their recommendation. Councilwoman Spurlock stated the funds at Rufe Snow came to $5,000 but that was only because the sprinkler system and design was donated. Councilwoman Spurlock asked if Centex would have to remove the asphalt on this project. Mr. Dickens stated the asphalt removal was included in the contract. CouncilMan Metts asked if a representative from Centex was present. Mr. Robert Rowley, Engineer, appeared before the Council.

Planning and Zoning heard this case at their February 8, 1990 meeting. I I The engineer for the applicant, Ernest Hedgcoth, took exception to item #3 of Kevin Miller's review letter which required the developer to install a storm sewer on the property. Staff supported Kevin's recommendation to P & Z for, among other reasons, the fact that just the run-off from their development would exceed the capacity of Flory Street to carry it.

The developer install a storm sewer with the city participating in the cost of oversizing*, or: I I ~e ~ ~ 2. The developer agree to sign a covenant stating that he will pay his pro rata share at the time the city would install the storm sewer. *Kevin estimates the cost to the city for this oversizing on 200' (+/-) of storm sewer would be no more that $15,000.

Provided in an earlier letter the street capacity at this point is 7.5 efs and the R.O.W. capacity is 30.7 efs. Required underground storm system for the 5 year storm is 56.7 - 7.5 = 49.2 efs. Required for the 100 year storm is 99.6 - 30.7 = 68.9 efs. The 100 storm controls and:will require a 42" RCP. The 100 year flow off of our site is 29.8 ers, which is 30% of the total 100 year flow given above. Allowing our site to_ contribute 30% of the R.O.W. capacity (9.2 cfs) requires us to carry 20.6 cfs underground (29.8 - 9.2).

In item three of the memo you state that "Public Works does not consider the property owner responsible for solving the existing drainage problem in Flory Street." We agree. However, we disagree that this site will compound the existing problem. The Design Manual (see attached) specifies "Storm drainage improvements shall be designed based on the drainage areas being fully developed." Therefore the development of this site should not have any adverse affect on how the existing Flory Street drainage system functions since the street should have been designed to accept this runoff. Asking for any street improvements would be an endeavor to make our client responsible for existing inadequacies. The area to the south of the site, mentioned in item one of the memo, has no impact on this site and therefore was not included. As stated, according to the Design Manual, Flory Street should already be properly designed to handle that area. In addition to inadequately designed storm drainage, the street appears to have not been built according to the August, 1983 plans we were furnished, further compounding the problem and reducing street and right-of-way capacity. As stated the - property owner sI1ould,,~<;>t be held responsible to solve this deficiency. The proper-underground storm drainage system should begin several hundred feet south of our site. We feel a storm sewer constructed at our site would do nothing to remedy any drainage problems that may exist. If a proper underground storm drainage system for Flory street is designed and constructed, otlr client would agree to pay his pro rata share. 5701-C Midway Road Fort Worth, Texas 76117 817-831-7711 I Ie I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I II I Ie I Page 2 January 30, 1990 Kevin B.

Typically a unit period of fifteen (15) minutes should be used for the detenni.hation of the unit hydrograph. In' lieu of this procedure, there are several public danain micro-computer programs available which will provide satisfactory results. If the Developer elects to use a ccmputer program, he should obtain prior approval fran the Director of Public \\brks or his designated representative. 3. Runoff Coefficient: stonn drainage improverœnts shall be designed based on the drainage areas being fully developed. The zoning as shown on the current City Zoning maps or the Ci ty I s Master Land Use Plan, whichever is rrcre restrictive, shall determine the particular coefficient value selected.

Miller, P.E. Assistant Director of Utilities SUBJECT: PS 89-25 & PS 89-26 HENRY SUBDIVISION, Lot 9, Block 1; Preliminary & Final Plats I have reviewed the subject documents and offer the following comments. 1. The Drainage Study should include the area south of this site (see attached) and east of Flory Street. This is necessary to compute the actual runoff in Flory Street upstream of this site. 2. The calculations referred to in the Engineers letter dated January 15, 1990 (see attached) should be included on the drawing which was submitted for the Drainage Study. In addition, the Engineers Certification such as the sample contained in the Subdivision Ordinance should also be incorporated into the Drainage Study. 3. It appears that Flory Street cannot accommodate the runoff from this site. The Design Manual (see attached) specifies "a storm sewer shall be designed to pick up flow from the street when the runoff from a five (5) year frequency storm exceeds the capacity of the street to it's top of curb...". Although Public Works does not consider the property owner responsible for solving the existing drainage problem in Flory Street, we do feel that the property owner should construct a storm sewer to prevent this site from compounding the existing problem. Mackey Creek is approximately one hundred fifty (150') feet away and could most likely serve as a discharge point. . 4. The utility locati~ were not shown on the Preliminary Plat as previously requested. Public Works information indicates that eight (8") inch water and sewer lines extend across the entire frontage of this property. It is unknown if the necessary service connections were previously installed. If acceptable service connections do not exist, new connections will be required to be installed by an approved Utility Contractor. Pavement replacement may also be required depending on the location of the existing utility line. Pro rata will be due for both water and sewer. (817) 281-0041 · 7301 N.E. lOOP 820 · P.O.

During the discussion, a P & Z member recalled that, at the zoning hearing*, the applicant had discussed putting a masonry wall along the frontage of the property on Starnes Road. Mr. Perkins, the applicant's engineer, was not aware of this discussion. *The applicant came in to review the tape recording of the zoning hearing. Wanda Calvert listened to the tape, and there was no mention at the zoning hearing of requiring a masonry wall. This does not preclude the possibility that it was discussed at the Pre-Commission Meeting. P & Z approved the final plat subject to the engineer's comments, putting in a masonry wall, and installing a sprinkler system and landscaping on the 90 foot median entering the property. P & Z also required that a Homeowner's Association be established to maintain the median. RECOMMENDATION: ~It is the recommendation of staff that City Council make a determination regarding the P ~& Z's recommendation to approve the plat with the following requirements: 1. That a sprinkler system be installed on the median and the median landscaped. I I I 2. That a Homeowner's Association be established to maintain the median. 3.

Chairman Wood stated it looks like all the Engineer's comments have been met with the exception of the name of the Subdivision. He said they wish to keep the name of Peachtree Estates. Mr. Bowen stated there is a question of the offset on the building line of Lot 6. He said he felt it should be a 25 foot building line to match with the other lots. Mr. Barfield asked about the landscaping and irrigation. Dick Perkins with Teague NaIl and Perkins came forward to represent the owner. He said their plan is to have a median about 90 feet landscaped. Mr. Perkins said this would give a separate identity. He said they plan to put up a decorative sign, grass, and low lying plants and they have a water service stubbed out in the median. Mr. Barfield asked if this would be taken care of by a Homeowner's Association. Mr. Perkins stated it would be. Mr. Barfield stated, at the zoning hearing on this property, they mentioned putting in a masonry wall on Starnes Road, but the Commission has not seen plans of this. -~ Mr. Perkins stated he has not been told anything about this. Mr. Barfield stated the Commission is interested in seeing this happen. Chairman Wood stated the plat does not show the island. Kevin Miller stated it is shown on the construction plans.

He stated they changed the street name to Orchard Trail. Mr. Lueck asked how they know they will have a Homeowner's Association forever. Mr. Perkins said Kevin Miller has asked for a copy of the Homeowner's agreement. Mr. Lueck said no one can guarantee there will be a Homeowner's Association or if it would last 30 days. He said he knows, he is in an association where there are problems. Mr. Perkins stated that is true, but he feels the homeowners would not want the island to be an eyesore. Mr. Lueck said it is expensive. He said they might want to put in a sprinkler system there. Mr. Perkins stated that would not be too much expense. Mr. Barfield stated someone has to pay for the water. He said there are ways to do this. He said they can have Type-A which would be the developer, and Type B which would be the homeowner; it could be the responsibility of Type A until the lotsc.are sold and then it would become the responsibility of Type B, the homeowners. Mr. Barfield said he would like to see the sprinkler system put in, landscaping, and these Types A & B owners before the subdivision is accepted. Mr. Perkins said he does not feel the cost would be a big deal.

Loop 820 North Richland Hills, Texas 76182-0609 Re: Peachtree Estates Preliminary & Final Plat Dear Commission Members: We are in receipt of your Engineer's comments relative to the subject subdivision and offer the following response: 1. We are in agreement with the last sentence in Comment No.1. However, although this property does abut an existing subdivision named Kingswood Estates, it is our client's desire to give this subdivision a different identity than Kingswood. He is planning to construct a landscaped median at the entrance of the subdivision off Starnes Road with a decorative sign introducing the subdivision by name. Therefore, we would respectfully request that you allow us to maintain the name as presented (Peachtree Estates). 2. We are in agreement with this item and will make the _requested change on the final plat. 3. We would respectfully request that you enable us to maintain the 20-foot side yard setback on Lot 6 as presented, so that we may be able to place a larger home on this lot. I I I I I Ie I 4. We will discuss this item with our client and provide a new name for the entry street. 5. We are in agreement with this item and will so comply on the final submittal. - 6. We are lin-~currence wit1r- -this item and will so note Mr. Miller's request on the final plat. 7. The developer does plan to have a homeowner's association to maintain the median at the entrance, and we will be glad to submit an executed copy of this agreement prior to construction. 915 Florence Street Fort Worth, Texas 76102 I Ie I I I Planning & Zoning Commission City of North Richland Hills February 2, 1990 Page Two 8.

We are in agreement with Items 10-14 and will so comply. I I I Thank you for your consideration of our above mentioned variance requests from the Engineer's letter.

Miller, P.E. Assistant Director of utilities SUBJECT: PEACHTREE ESTATES; Block 1, Lots 1-28; Final Plat and Construction Plans I have reviewed the subject documents and offer the following comments. 1. This plat is bounded on all sides by Kingswood Estates. It appears that a more appropriate title might be "Kingswood Estates, Block 24, Lots 1 through 28". In addition, the words "Final Plat of..." should be added to the title block to discriminate this plat from a replat. 2. The attached easement dedication should be incorporated into the closing paragraph after the metes and bounds description. 3. Lot 6 currently shows a twenty-five (25') foot setback along Peachtree Court and a twenty (20') foot setback on Peachtree Lane. Lot 5 still maintains a twenty-five (25') foot setback. We recommend that Lot 6 maintain a twenty-five (25') foot setback on all frontages. 4. The term "Lane" is usually reserved for a through street. Since there is no other outlet for Peachtree Lane, we recommend that the name be changed. 5. Due to the recently passed Zoning Ordinance, this subdivision will be required to construct sidewalks throughout. The sidewalks should therefore be added-to ~construction plans. The sidewalks could 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. (817) 281-0041 · 7301 N.E. lOOP 820 · P.O.

Current policy does not allow residential driveway approaches to be constructed onto a collector street, such as starnes Road, if there is another alternative. In this case, Lots 1 and 28 could both be given access from Peachtree Lane. Public Works would therefore request that a note be added to the plat requiring these two lots to be denied direct access to starnes Road. 7. There is currently a median designed for the entrance to starnes Road. If a median is allowed, it should be maintained by the Homeowners Association. A filed copy of this executed agreement should be submitted to Public Works prior to commencing with construction. 8. street Lighting is required by section 1-06 of the Design Manual. locations should be coordinated with Public Works and TU Electric. cost for installation will be paid by the developer directly to TU Electric. The The 9. starnes Road was recently reconstructed by the City. The project was an assessment project and it appears there is an outstanding assessment due. The filed assessment, indicates an amount due of ($22,870.90) Twenty-two Thousand Eight Hundred Seventy Dollars and Ninety Cents. 10. The proposed sewer line should be adjusted as shown on the attached mark-ups. 11. The Drainage Calculations for the street capacities in Peachtree Court, Peachtree Lane and starnes Road should be added to the plans. 12. An Engineers Certification (such as the one included in the Subdivision Ordinance) should be added to the drainage calculation sheet in the Construction Plans. 13. The backfill requirements for the utility lines may require reV1Slon. This item should be discussed in greater detail with the Director of Public Works prior to construction. 14. Inspection fees will be due prior to starting construction. The current rate is four (4%) percent for water and sewer and three (3%) percent for streets and drainage. In addition, a water testing fee of twenty-five ($25.00) will be collected to cover the City's cost for sampling and testing the proposed water lines. /.¿;;:~ -p~¿ /Kevin B. Miller, P.E.

This project when finished will serve a small portion of the most northerly end of the City as well as a portion of the Cities of Keller, Southlake, and Fort Worth. Our share of the construction cost is 0.80% which is based on our projected future discharge to this proposed interceptor compared to its total projected flow. The City has already paid $72,000 in February of 1987 for its total share of the projected cost of the project. TRA's standard procedure is to now proceed with executing an agreement with all 4 municipalities involved to cover the operation and maintenance (O&M) of the subject interceptor when it is completed. The subject agreement will allow TRA to provide O&M services on the Big Bear Creek Interceptor to us under the same existing 1975 Central Regional Wastewater System Service Contract which we operate under concerning the Little Bear Creek Interceptor. Recommendation: The staff recommends approval of the the subject agreement and Resolution No. 90-08 which authorizes the Mayor to sign said agreement on the City's behalf.

To date, revenue bonds have been issued to fund design and land acquisition, design has been completed, and land acquisition has been initiated. Current planning indicates that a construction contract to facilitate construction of all or part of the project can be awarded in the Authority·s regularly scheduled April 1990 Board meeting in order to meet an expected construction completion of October 1990. To do so will require an additional issuance of revenue bonds to fund the refunding of the original project bonds and, in addition, to fund construction costs of the project. In the next few months, a meeting will be scheduled to discuss the nature of this proposed bond issue. In the interim, you may recall that the Big Bear Creek Interceptor Extension Project was required to utilize design criteria with a density equivalent to buildout in the Big Bear Creek drainage basin. In consideration for the Cities' funding of the project at this size, the Central Regional Wastewater System (CRWS) Advisory Committee endorsed a plan whereby the System would assume operation and maintenance responsibilities for the project. The Authority·s February 1987 Contract with the four Cities did not include provisions specifically dealing with the future operation and maintenance of the project. Accordingly, an Agreement (Exhibit A) has been prepared which serves to convey the Big Bear Creek Interceptor Extension Project to the Authority an an asset of the CRWS for which the Authority commits to operate and maintain the project for the benefit of the Cities. I I Ie I I I I I I Ie I I I I I il I Ie I January 3, 1990 3152.200 DISTRIBUTION Page 2 We are now requesting that this Agreement be submitted to your City Councils for consideration.

Proposals were received fran three banks: Bank of North Texas First Interstate NCNB - Richland The proposed contract period is for 3 years. State Law allows cities to contract for depository services for a maxinnnn three year period. A three year contract YJOuld minimize the costs associated with changing banks. The current contract is utilizing two banks. Bank of North Texas is being used for regular banking services and NCNB - Richland is used for investment services. This system has been burdensaœ for staff to monitor and control and costly in tenns of duplication of efforts. The costs of the three bank proposals have been evaluated and are surnnarized in the attachment. The bank's proposals are based on our anticipated activity levels, which are then used to approxinate the roonthly cost of services, for canparative analysis. In the evaluation process, we have estinated costs associated with splitting the depository services where more than one bank is required. (See Attached) It appears the low bidder for regular banking services is Bank of North Texas until the fact is considered that the investment services would have to be obtained fran another bank if Bank of North Texas is chosen as the depository for regular banking services. * The costs of using a second bank for investments adds costs for maintaining an account and for wire transferring monies between banks as well as hidden costs in staff tiIœ for duplication of efforts for daily monitoring activities and reconciliation of an addi tional account. Taking these factors into account, NCNB su1:mi tted the low bid. * The Bank of North Texas did not bid on this service. In subsequent discussions, the bank president stated that his bank. will not provide this service. Recœmendation: The staff recarmends awarding a three year contract to NCNB - Richland for banking and investment transaction services. Finance Review Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)
