Subject:
Policy on Acquisition of Rights-of-Way and Easements
When the 1985 bond issue was approved it was decided that the first 5.5M
in sales would be. used for the purchase, restoration and construction of
public facilities. The 1986 street and drainage work was limited to
engineering and preparation of right-of-way documents.
As a resu1t of the preliminary engineering completed to date, we are
aware of near1y 400 parce1s of property that must be acquired within the
next three to four years in order to comp1ete the projects approved by
the voters in 1985. We presently have a Right-of-Way Agent on staff.
There is a need at this time to adopt a City Policy governing the
acquisition of rights-of-way and easements.
The attached policy wou1d formalize the procedure that the staff wou1d
f01low in obtaining property. This policy can be updated from
time-to-time "as needs change.
The attached policy is proposed to be discussed and it can be presented
to the City Counci1 for action in the near future.

POLICY
CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
ACQUISITION OF RIGHTS-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS
GENERAL:
Successful governing requires the development of public services to improve
our way of life. The City of North Richland Hills would be greatly
handicapped without land upon which to carry out the activities of
government. There would be no land for public streets, vital water and
sewer mains nor drainage improvements or other facilities necessary in North
Richland Hills. In short the City of North Richland Hills can not provide
services to its citizens without the right to acquire land. Every effort
will be made to reach a fair and equitable agreement in the acquisition of
land for these purposes. It is the City's desire that when a street project
route, the route of a water and sewer main or the necessity of a drainage
project have finally been determined, all sides will agree that fair and
equitable consideration has been given to the property owners involved and
that the selected route is in the best interest of the general public. The
following policy shall apply when obtaining rights-of-way or acquiring
easements for street, drainage, and/or water and sewer improvements.
RESPONSIBILITY:
The City Council has overall authority for approving all capital improvement
projects. The City Engineer is responsible for the final construction plans
and the completion of rights-of-way and easement documents. The City
Engineer shall submit a strip map along with the construction plans to the
City Council prior to taking bids or obtaining land. A copy of the strip
map will be furnished to each member of the City Council at the time of the
approval of the project. The City Council will be briefed on potential
acquisition problems, potential pitfalls, problems,and the estimated rates
of assessments at the time of project approval.
The Department of Public Works will have overall responsibility for
obtaining rights-of-way for street and drainage improvements approved by the
City Council. They are also solely responsible for obtaining easements
necessary for public water, sanitary sewer and drainage improvements to be
constructed by the City. Only the Director of Public Works or his
designated representative will make a settlement offer to a citizen with
whom we are negotiating the conveyance of a right-of-way/easement. Slope
easements, temporary construction easements or other temporary easements not
specifically covered by this policy shall be handled by the Director of
Public Works.
The City of North Richland Hills will not payor offer any compensation for
any property acquisition for the purpose of erosion control or flood
protection other than that acquired for construction of a public street.
It is the responsibility of the Right-of-Way Agent and the Planning and
Development Department to transmit the executed copies of right-of-way/
easements documents to the Court House to be recorded. The Planning and
Development Department will also be responsible for maintenance of right-
of-way/easements documents and the computer file after they have been
recorded.

Re: Smithfield Road Project
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Smith:
,/-.
In the months ahead the City of North Richland Hills will be finalizing
plans for th~ reconstruction of a portion of Smithfield Road from its
current width of 50 feet to a full four-lane collector street and
right-of-way width of 68 feet. We anticipate this project to be started
in October of 1987. This project will be partially funded by bond funds
approved be the voters in 1985.
Under our form of government the rights of the individuals are of
paramount importance. Our laws guarantee individual rights for all of
us. However, our laws also recognize another principle, mainly the
public good, which makes it necessary to resolve the matter of public
acquisition of private property in favor of the majority. The benefit
is then realized by all. We will make every effort to reach a fair and
equitable agreement in the acquisîtion of all right-of-way needed for
this project.
Our Engineering Department is now in the final stages of design for this
street and I will be contacting you within the next few weeks. I will
also be forwarding you an approved project strip map, which will further
explain the details of the project, and the right-of-way documents.
Please contact me if you have any further questions.
Sincerely,
Real Estate/Rights-of-Way Agent

Re: My letter dated
Smithfield Road Project
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Smith:
Enclosed are right-of-way documents and a project map for the Smithfield
Road Widening Project. Please be aware that the1ity Council has
authorized the payment of fair-market-value (or estimated fair-market
value) for your property. However, this does not prevent you from
donating the right-of-way for this much needed project. In the event
you wish to receive fair-market-value, it may be necessary for the City
to have the real property appraised to establish the FMV. We will then
offer that amount. We believe this property will appraise at
approximately per square foot.
So that we will know how to proceed, it is requested that you indicate
your desire by checking the appropriate box on the attached copy of this
letter and return it to me at ~OUt ~arliest convenience.
I_I I desire to donate the above identified right-of-way
I_I I desire to receive FMV for the above identified right-of-way
This letter will also serve as your notice that this project will be
assessed in accordance with City Ordinance Number 1338. You will be
notified when the Public Hearings are set for this assessment.
If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.
Sincerely,

INFORMAL REPORT TO MA VOR AND CITY COUNCIL
No. IR 87-003
Date:
October 8, 1987
Subject:
New Conference Room for Pre-Council Meetings
and Major Conferences
Dennis Horvath and I have been working with Phillips Swagger Associates,
Inc. in reference to remodeling Room 100, which had been allocated to the
Municipal Court before it was decided to move the Court to the new
Library/Recreation Center.
Extensive research has been done as to the cost of the project, i.e.,
carpet, furniture, video, sound equipment, wall coverings, and room .
design. The total cost would be $101,000 to fully complete this project
at such a level as to provide excellent facilities for the Pre-Council
Meetings and other conferences involving numerous participants and gooá
audio/visual facilities.
At the Council Meeting of July 27, 1987, Agenda Item GN 87-71, $13,000
for furniture for the Conference Room was allocated. A recommended
financing plan to complete the project at the level established by the
City Council will be prepared following Council discussion, up to the
ultimate $88,000 for the total package.
Mr. Don White, of "PSA" Architects, will be at Pre-Council October 12,
1987 to exhibit the design and concept of the new Pre-Council Chamber.
If the final design of the project can be placed on the next agenda for
Council approval on October 26, 1987, I believe the project could
possibly be completed at the same time as the Police Department.

Mr. line stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission determined that
the Zoning Ordinance did not designate the zoning classification to which
a commercial gymnasium would be applied. Mr. Line stated that the
Planning & Zoning Commission recommended that the commercial gym be
allowed in the C-1 zoning district.
Mayor Echols called for anyone wishing to speak in opposition to please
come forward.
There being no one wishing to speak Mayor Echols closed the Public Hearing.
Councilman Garvin moved, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Fisher, to approve
Ordinance No. 1494.
Councilwoman Spurlock questioned the number of parking spaces allowed.
Mr. Royston stated that the Planning & Zoning Commission's thinking was

SO 87-9 REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF THEATER MARQUEE SIGN
AT I.H. 820 AND HWY. 26
APPROVED
Mr. Burk Collins, 8251 Bedford Euless Road, appeared before the Council.
Mr. Burk Collins stated that the Sign Ordinance required Council approval
for a theater marquee sign and they therefore were seeking permission for
this sign. Mr. Collins stated that because their sign was higher and
larger than normal, they also needed a variance to the Sign Ordinance.
Mr. Collins stated that they had discovered there was a moratorium on sign
variances. Mr. Collins stated that the sign needed to be located where
the underground channel was, and without a variance the sign would have to
be located at the front of the shopping center.
Mr. Collins presented a picture of the shopping center and a picture of
the type of proposed sign to the Council.
Councilwoman Spurlock called for point of order.
Councilwoman Spurlock stated she had a problem with voting on this item.
Councilwoman Spurlock stated that the Council had the ability to vote on
the sign, but did not have the ability to vote on the variance that Mr.
Collins needed without voting to lift the moratorium. Councilwoman
Spurlock stated she did not think the Council could take action unless
they voted to lift the moratorium.

Councilman Davis stated that Mr. Collins was allowed to bring the marquee
sign before the Council. Councilman Davis stated he felt that because
this project was started prior to the moratorium and the sign permit was
one of the last permits obtained, that it possibly fell into a gray area.
Councilman Garvin stated he preferred to deal with the matter now.
Attorney McEntire stated that the moratorium would only be lifted on this
particular sign.
Councilman Davis stated he understood the height that was needed on the
820 sign because the freeway started elevating, but would like to propose
that the height of the sign on Grapevine Highway be 25 feet.
Mr. Collins stated they would not have a problem with that.
Councilman Davis moved, seconded by Councilwoman Hinkle, to approve the
sign as submitted along I.H. 820 and approve the sign along Grapevine
Highway with the stipulation that it be no higher than 25 feet.

GN 87-107 PUBLIC HEARING - WATAUGA ROAD
REALIGNMENT AND STREET VACATION
APPROVED
Mayor Echols opened the Public Hearing and called for anyone wishing to
speak to please come forward.
Mr. line stated that when the construction of the new Watauga Road was
completed, the existing Watauga Road right-of-way would become surplus.
Mr. line stated it was felt that by closing portions of the street where
possible, the residential character of the neighborhood to the south would
be preserved. Mr. line stated the Planning & Zoning Commission notified
the property owners in the neighborhood and conducted a public hearing to
get their input. Mr. line stated that if the neighborhood concurred and
the Council determined that the street should be closed, the abandoned
right-of-way could be transferred to the adjacent property owners with
fair compensation being paid for the right-of-way in compliance with state
law. Mr. line stated there were two single family residential lots that
fronted on Abbott and Price which have access to the rear and the City
would work with those property owners if they wished to continue to have
rear access to their property.
Mr. Bob Hall, 7200 Abbott, appeared before the Council.
Mr. Hall asked if there would be a cul de sac at the end of Abbott or
would it be closed off with a barricade.
Mayor Echols stated that Abbott would be extended through to the new
thoroughfare and Price would be closed.
Ms. Melba Duke, 6228 Price, appeared before the Council.
Ms. Duke stated she had no objections to closing Watauga Road if a fence
was put up. Ms. Duke stated it had also been brought to the Council's
attention severa1 times that there was a bad drainage prob1em on that
corner.

Mayor Echols stated the situation would be looked into and determined if
it could be corrected.
Ms. Duke asked if there were plans on how to close the street.
Mr. line stated it would be barricaded to the extent that it could. Mr.
line stated that her neighbor, Mr. Brenner, had indicated an interest in
continuing to access his property from the rear, and in order for him to
do this it might not be possible to barricade it right at the property
line. Mr. line stated there would be no through traffic.
Ms. Duke asked if she decided not to buy the right-of-way would she be
able to extend her fence out to her property line.
Mr. Royston stated the property that sided with her property was
commercial and when the property developed there would be a fence. Mr.
Royston stated that in the interim she could extend her fence.
Mr. Keith Putnam, 6221 Price, appeared before the Council.
Mr. Putnam asked if a cul de sac could be created.
Mr. line stated they had considered the possibility of a cul de sac. Mr.
line stated if the City constructed a cul de sac the right-of-way would
have to be acquired from the commercial property to the north, and the
City would have to allow them access.
Mr. Putnam stated he did not want an ugly dead end barricade.
Mr. line stated the City was under the impression that the neighbors did
not want a cul de sac because of the possibility of having to cut a
driveway opening into the commercial property.
Councilman Davis stated when the commercial property developed, a sight
barring fence would be erected behind the barricade as a buffer.
Mr. Putnam asked if there would be any type of buffer zone between the
barricade and the back of the property and the building.
Councilman Davis stated there would be a setback requirement as far as
building requirements.
Mr. Putnam asked if the City could convince the property owner to the
north to work with the neighborhood and plant trees in that area as well
as install the fence.
Mr. line stated the Zoning Ordinance required commercial property to
dedicate ten percent of their land for landscaping, and the City could
encourage the developer to landscape a portion of the ten percent there.
Mr. Al Cox, 6213 Price, appeared before the Council.

Mr. Cox stated he wanted the street closed to through traffic. Mr. Cox
stated his concern was Owen Drive and asked if Holiday lane would be cut
through to give the area some relief.
Mr. line stated the owners of the property that were affected by the
Holiday lane extension to Watauga Road were working together trying to
work out some realignment of ownership, street dedication and financing
that would extend Holiday lane from where it dead ends now up to Watauga
Road. Mr. line stated the City did not have money allocated for
improvements to Holiday Lane.
Mr. Cox stated as far as closing Price he did not want any access from the
commercial property.
Mr. larry Buck, 6221 Abbott, appeared before the Council.
Mr. Buck stated they supported the closing of Watauga Road and asked if
Abbott was to continue through or be a dead end street.
Mayor Echols stated that it would continue through.
Mr. line asked if he wished to continue to have access to the rear of his
property which would require an alley or easement adjacent to his property.
Mr. Buck replied yes they did.
Mayor Echols called for anyone else wishing to speak to please come
forward.
There being no one else wishing to speak Mayor Echols closed the Public
Hearing.

Addition, Lots 1-17, Block 4, Lots 1-14, Block 5, Lots 59-64,

from R-3 Single Family, R-8 Single Family Zero Lot Line, and R-5D Duplex
to 1-2 Industrial
Ordinance No. 1499
10/12/87
- Council Meeting Date:
I
This Zoning Application is presented on several existing residential lots located along
the south side of Odell Street, and in the Stoneybrooke South Addition and Duplex lots
located in the Stoneybrooke South Addition east of Davis Boulevard. The requested
rezoning is from R-3 Single Family, R-8 Zero Lot Line Single Family, and R-5D Duplex to
1-2 Industrial. The purpose for the proposed rezoning request is to accumulate
additional property adjacent to the existing 1-2 property in the Northeast Business Park
to create a larger tract in order to develop a warehouse and administrative office
center for the Haverty's Furniture Store Chain. The applicant currently owns all of the
property in the Stoneybrooke South Addition included in the rezoning request and has
acquired options on the properties contained in the request in the Odell Addition. The
size and configuration of the proposed development would dictate the need for the
additional property proposed to be added to the Industrial tract.
As stated, the applicant has acquired options on the lots located along Odell Street
which have been included in the rezoning request. However, the submittal omits two
significant parcels out of the request. At the southeast corner of Odell Street and
~Davis Boulevard are four and one-half lots which are not included. The major portions
~of these lots are currently occupied by an existing auto salvage yard which is a legal
non-conforming use. The remaining lot did contain a sub-standard residence which has
been demolished through Code Enforcement action. Although the applicant did not include
these lots in his request the Commission was informed by the owner of the salvage yard
that a contract had been signed with the applicant leaving only the now-vacant lot not
in the applicant's control. The second parcel, located on the south side of the street
and at the east end of the existing Odell Street, was not included because the applicant
had not secured an agreement with the property owner. This property has now been
optioned by the applicant and a rezoning request for these two lots for 1-2 Industrial
Zoning has been submitted and will be heard by the Commission in October.
The Staff noted to the Commission that the existing conditions on Odell Street east of
Davis Boulevard are such that the existing residences are on an island of residentially
zoned property surrounded by Industrial and Heavy Commercial Zoning. The proposed
rezoning would have the effect of reducing the area of the residential "island" and
providing the existing street as the dividing line between the two diverse uses.

At the Commission hearing the applicant, Mr. Collins, indicated that his intentions
were, and still are, to purchase all the residential lots on both sides of Odell Street.
He would propose to rezone all of the property to industrial use and the property on the
north side of Odell would become an area for Office-Showroom-Warehouse facilities in the
same manner as those new buildings which he has constructed on the south side of
Northeast Parkway. Mr. Collins indicated that he intends to continue his negotiations
with the property owners who live on the north side of Odell Street. The current
rezoning request covering only the south side of the street was pursued to meet certain
time frame obligations imposed by the Haverty's company to proceed with the warehouse
and office project.

RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that Zoning Application
PZ 87-18, requesting rezoning on Lots 31-42, Block 2, W.E, Odell Addition, Lots 1-17,
Block 4, Lots 1-14, Block 5, Lots 59-64, Block 3 and a portion of Lot 58, Block 3,
Stoneybrooke South Addition from R-3, R-8 and R-5D to 1-2 be approved.

Burk Collins came forward. He said
this would be a Haverty's 30,000
square foot retail store, 18,000
square foot district office with a
distribution center in the back. He
said with the Industrial he has, it
didn't work well so he needs to take
some of the residential and duplex out
of Stonybrooke South. Mr. Collins
said he had tried to be sensitive to
the people on Odell Street. He said
he would like to acquire all the
homes. Mr. Collins stated he had made
offers and only one has refused. He
said some have counter offered. Mr.
Collins said Havertys is also looking
at a site in Bedford and he is squeezed
for time.
Mr. Tucker asked how many employees
would this project have.
Mr. Collins said it would offer
'approximately 450 jobs to the area.
He said the retail store would
generate a million dollars per month
sales. He said there are 76 Haverty
stores over the country.
Mr. Schwinger asked Mr. Collins if he
intended to purchase the lots on both
sides of Odell Street.
Mr. Collins said that is his
intention. He said Havertys has a
time schedule so he had to come in
with the request just for Haverty's
site. He said he has several others
under contract; only one on the south
side has not signed.
Vice Chairman Wood asked what about
the north side of the street.
Mr. Collins said he has some on
contract, but the bank won't let you
speculate on land. He said he would
love to acquire all that property.

Barbara Dutton, 8204 Odell Street,
came forward. She said she lives at
the corner of Davis and Odell and they
are under contract with Mr. Collins.
Ms. Dutton said she read the write-up
in the paper stating it was a quiet
place to live. She said police are
called out there, cars race up the
street, a house was burned, and a
woman was shot 4 times by her brother.
She said just look at the land, it is
rather shabby and she feels the best
use is to rezone it to Industrial.
Ms. Dutton said there are only 8 on
the south side of the street and 6 on
the north side. She said most plan to
retire and move away. She said she
feels this is the highest and best use
for the land.
Vice Chairman Wood called for those
wishing to speak in opposition to this
request to please come forward.
V. L. Gibson, 8333 Odell Street, came
forward. He said Mr. Collins stated
most of the property owners were too
high. Mr. Gibson said that was not
true. He said Mr. Collins didn't
offer him enough to buy a lot and
build another house on it. Mr. Gibson
said he understood they would be
offered commercial price.
Mr. Gibson said he had lived here 37
years and he and his wife contributes
many hours to the city. He said he
tries to attend every City Council
meeting and tries to promote good
will. Mr. Gibson asked how would you
like to have a warehouse in front of
your property. He said he read the
ar~icle in the paper where Richard
Royston said it was not uncommon to
have different zonings on either side
of a street. He said it also quoted
Councilman Richard Davis as saying he
could support Industrial if it had a
sufficient buffer. Mr. Gibson said
Councilman Davis also stated the City
might could protect Odell Street from

trucks. Mr. Gibson said the Master
Plan shows Odell Street to be
residential, but this would make one
side residential and one side
industrial. He said they want to
extend it into Stonybrooke South
Addition down to the railroad. Mr.
Gibson said they have built streets in
Stonybrooke South and it should be a
nice residential area. Mr. Gibson
said when George Tucker was Chairman
he said no Commercial should come
close to a residential area. Mr.
Gibson said newspaper articles favor
developments. He said Mr. Royston
said he was concerned with leaving a
few neighbors on the north side. Mr.
Gibson asked the Commission to please
refuse this request and say no. He
said he has a friend who is an
attorney who is here to help us, you
and Mr. Collins.
Kenneth LeVan, 8440 Glenann Drive,
came forward. He said following Mr.
Gibson doesn't leave much to say. Mr.
LeVan said he is also against the
rezoning request.
Donald Chaille, 8405 Timberline Court
in Stonybrooke, came forward. He said
he had lived here for 11 years. He
said he was present when they rezoned
the portion of Stonybrooke South. He
said he went to the City and reviewed
the cases and read the minutes. He
said PZ 85-51 was for 45 acres to
R-5-D. He said in that meeting Burk
Collins stated he had a 45 acre tract
which had lots of problems. He said
it was in the flood plain, backs up to
the railroad and joins Industrial.
Mr.. Chaille said in July and August
Mr. Collins came back for R-2 next to
Stonybrooke, R-8 to the west, and
duplex. He said Mr. Collins stated
the owner is disabled and needs to
sell and if you deny this you are
denying the use of his property. He
said Mr. Collins stated he felt this
was the best use of the property. He

stated that the property had sold
several times, but could not be
developed. He said Mr. Collins stated
he would have to put in a concrete
channel, the best use is all
residential and he bought it for
residential prices, but now he wants
to rezone it to Industrial. Mr.
Chaille said the only change is Mr.
Collins balance sheet. He said he
believes this was Mr. Collins plan and
intent from the beginning. Mr.
Chaille said the right thing to do
would be to deny this request. He
said he does not regularly attend
these meetings, but feels Mr. Collins
is a wheeler-dealer. He said he feels
it is stacked against the citizens in
favor of Burk Collins. Mr. Chaille
said he read the newspaper article
which stated Richard Royston said the
Land Use plan shows it to be a
residential area. He also said he
'stated he would be more agreeable if
Collins owned both sides and Mr.
Royston said he did not think it
inappropriate because a street is a
natural barrier. Mr. Chaille said he
could not believe he would think a
street would be a barrier. Mr.
Chaille said Councilman Richard Davis
said he could support it if there was
adequate buffers. He also stated
maybe they could cut Odell Street off
from truck traffic. Mr. Chaille
requested denial of this request.
Bill Odette, 8337 Odell Street, came
forward. He said he has lived there
14 years. He said he is disabled and
on social security. He said they like
to live there for the peace and quiet.
Mr. Odette said they have friends all
around him and he would have to give
them up. He said cars and trucks and
motorcycles go 60 to 70 miles an hour
up and down the street. He said he
has children that come to visit and
this speeding should be stopped.

Bill Williams, 4620 Riverview Drive,
came forward. He said he was speaking
for a friend who lives on the north
side of Odell Street. Mr. Williams
said he had been affected by a zoning
change and he wound up moving because
of the zoning. He said the people are
elderly with large back yards and it
makes him think of his home town. He
said this would be spot or island
zoning. He said he is against this
and requests the Commission deny the
zoning or work something out.
Joanne Ruppel, 7013 Stoneridge Drive,
came forward. She said she had two
problems with this. She said if it is
rezoned there would be truck traffic
through Stonybrooke Addition; and two
years ago they agreed on one thing and
now they want something different.
Ms. Ruppel requested the Commission
deny the proposal.
Don Bowen came in.
Helen Carpenter came forward. She
said she is the owner of 8217 Odell
Street and she has not been contacted.
She said she does not feel they have
been totally honest, because they have
made no effort to contact her.
Vice Chairman Wood said he was sure
Mr. Collins would want to talk to her.
Mr. Collins came forward. He said
they showed Mrs. Allen owned that
property. Mr. Collins said they have
some overlapping into Stonybrooke
South, but what we proposed would
almost be what we already have. He
said times are changing and the
economy has changed. He said they
will be back in a few weeks requesting
residential instead of the duplex and
it will increase the value of the
property.
Vice Chairman Wood closed the Public
Hearing.

Mr. Tucker said this is a difficult
task for the Commission. He said
Odell Street is bounded by Commercial
and Industrial. He said it is an
island now. Mr. Tucker said the
Commission has to decide the highest
and best use for the City as a whole.
He said the City is 65% residential
and 35% commercial and the City has
been trying to get clean developments
into the City with no smoke. Mr.
Tucker said this would affect the
people; a lot of people on the south
want to sell and the ones on the north
don't want to sell.

Mr. Schwinger said he concurred with
Mr. Tucker. He read "Purposes of
Zoning": To protect the health,
safety, morality and welfare of the
Community; To carry out land
·use/development policies of the
Comprehensive plan; To prevent adverse
or undesirable effects that
incompatible uses could have on each
other; To assure sufficient, suitable
land for future development; To
protect and improve the physical
environment; To protect and maintain
property values; To ensure that land
uses are properly situated in relation
to one another; To control density so
that property can be adequately
serviced by public services and
facilities; To preserve and develop

Public Hearing for Consideration of an Amendment to ...Aru>-"rI; N ber" GN 87-111
the Subd1v1s10n Urd1nance ~o. 195 Regarding Park Land D~c~~TðMr .
Ordinance No. 1500
At the direction of the City Council the Staff has drafted a proposed reV1S1on to the
Subdivision Ordinance which would set up a procedure for mandatory dedication of park
land in any subdivision proposed to be developed for residential use. The proposed
Ordinance would specify that any plat submitted must include either the dedication of
land for park purposes or, if the proposed dedication would be less than one (1) acre in
size, the deposit of an appropriate amount of cash in lieu of property. The format used
for the proposed Ordinance is similar to the Ordinances adopted by other Texas cities.
The intent of format is to develop an Ordinance which accomplishes the dedication of
park property and also stands the test of equity which has been an issue in those cases
where this type of Ordinance has been litigated in the State Courts.
The Planning and Zoning Commission has held several work sessions regarding the proposed
Ordinance revision and a public hearing where notices were sent to the entire
development community inviting their participation in discussions of the proposed
Ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that the proposed
Subdivision Ordinance Revision requiring mandatory dedication of park land not be
approved.
It is recommended that the City Council hold the required Public Hearing as advertised
and take action on the proposed Subdivision Ordinance Revision.

Mr. Pasteur stated they have two
subdivisions being developed in North
Richland Hills at present; Century
Oaks at Starnes and Smithfield Road
and Spring Meadows across from
Smithfield Elementary School. He said
they have also helped in the
development of Stonybrooke.
Mr. Pasteur thanked the Commission for
holding a Public Hearing on this
matter. He said he did not wish to
debate, but would like to point out
some things. He said page 1,
paragraph 1, this fee is charged only
on residential property; none would be
charged on commercial, office
districts, etc. He said only the new
resident in North Richland Hills would
have to pay. Mr. Pasteur .said this is
a tax on the developer which would in
turn pass on to the new resident so
the new resident will have to pay for
the parks that all citizens will use.
Mr. Pasteur said page 2, paragraphs 4
& 5, the developer would go through
the city process of platting a piece
of property only to have the City
Council veto it. He said that would
be very expensive and time consuming
for the developer; paragraphs 6 & 7,
the $225 per dwelling unit could go
higher; it could be changed by the
City Council. He said this makes for
an unworkable situation for the
developer.
Mr. Wood said paragraph 6 states it
would be limited to $225.
Mr. Royston stated the intent would be
to reimburse the City from the fund.
He said the City Council decides on
all f~es.
Chairman Bowen said the fee would not
be changed in the middle of the
stream.
Mr. Tucker said it would be changed by
an amendment of the ordinance.

Mr. Tucker asked Mr. Royston how could
the platting process be done.
Mr. Royston stated the decision should
be at the time of preliminary
platting.
Mr. Tucker said the engineering would
be expensive if they had to start over
if the council did not like it.
Mr. Royston said it should be decided
prior to the final plat being
submitted.
Mr. Pasteur said on page 2, paragraph
8 it speaks of refunds. He said there
is never any refunds; page 3,
paragraph 9, is contradictory. Mr.
Pasteur said the flood plain is the
most desirable for a park, Colonial
Country Club is in the 100 year flood
plain and Euless has a beautiful park
in the flood plain. Mr. Pasteur said
112-"any areas of unusual topography or
slope which renders the property
unusable for organ~zed recreational
activities", channelization is a major
expense for a park.
Paragraph 10, the developer would be
confused, there would be 3 bodies
reviewing the plat. There would be
long, lag time. He said it takes a
minimum of 15 to 18 months to develop
a piece of property from the zoning to
the development.
Mr. Pasteur stated that parks are for
~he common good to all people, but
with this ordinance only the new
residents would pay; residential
development would subsidize for
everyo~e. He said he thinks this is
very unfair. He said the builders and
developers have to be competitive.
Mr. Pasteur said that North Richland
Hills has increased the building
permits 400%. He said the developers
and builders are in the worst shape in
many years and they have to be
speculative an"d it puts "-the burden on
them.

Mr. Pasteur said he was aware there is
a need for parks in North Richland
Hills. He said the city would have to
set up a new accounting system for the
fees and refunds. Mr. Pasteur said
this is an excellent chance to
challenge it in court.
Mr. Pasteur said he read in the paper
of the additional fees being proposed
for sewage and water for North
Richland Hills.
Mr. Pasteur said the developers are
concerned about this ordinance.
Doug Long, part owner of B. H. & L,
came forward. He said they own some
land in area 5. He said they have a
substantial park there. He asked if
they need more park in that area. Mr.
Long said he felt everything would be
a cash donation. He asked how much
land does the city need for parks.
Mr. Royston said the Park Master Plan
said 40 more acres' of park land is
needed, but did not say where they
.might need to upgrade the present
park.
Mr. Long said if they have sufficient
park land in the area, what then? He
said he was not sure he understood
paragraph 6, page 2.
Chairman Bowen said if no further land
is required, then the $225 per unit
would be charged.
Mr. Royston stated that if the city
purchases land for a park, they would
need to be reimbursed, it would go
back io a land fund requirement.
Mr. Long asked if that park is totally
developed, he cannot give land, he has
to pay cash?

Mr. Tucker stated it is the intent of
the ordinance for all residential
developers to participate.
Mr. Royston stated that if the cash is
not needed it would be returned after
two years.
Mr. Long stated they have Little Bear
Creek on their property and in certain
areas they will have to improve it,
but it might be to the city's
advantage not to have it concrete
lined. He said the Commission would
have the right to vary from this.
Mr. Long requested the Commission have
another hearing to discuss this
ordinance.
Chairman Bowen called for anyone else
wishing to speak to please come
forward.
There being no one else wishing to
speak, the Chairman closed the Public
Hearing.
Mr. Wood said he appreciated the time
and effort of these developers. He
said he felt the Commission needs to
go back and take another look at this
ordinance.
Mr. Tucker said the developers brought
up some good points
Chairman Bowen stated he does not feel
the Commission is ready to recommend
approval of this ordinance." He said
the Commission will continue this
for more study on the first meeting in

Dear Sir:
The City of North Rich1and Hills is in the process of reviewing and
re-eva1uating the City's Subdivision regulations. One of the issues
under consideration by the Planning and Zoning Commission is a
revision to the Subdivision Ordinance which would establish mandatory
park land dedication as a condition of residential development. This
dedication would be in the form of a land dedication in larger
proposed subdivisions or the substitution of a cash dedication in lieu
of property in smaller projects.
The City of North Rich1and Hills considers the opinion and comments of
its developers to be an important input into its deliberations on
matters which will affect the future development of the City. It is
for this reason that we encourage you to attend a public hearing
regarding the proposed Park ~and Dedication Ordinance. This public
hearing will be held~be!ore the Planning and Zoning Commission at its
regular meeting of A~gust 13, 1987 at 7:30 P.M. in the North Richland
Hills City Hall.
A draft copy of the proposed Ordinance revision is enclosed with this
letter for your consideration.
We look forward to your attendance and comments.
Truly,

ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE ~ROVIDING REQUIREMENTS FOR PARK LAND DEDICATION; TO PROVIDE
FOR NECESSARY PLANNING FOR OPEN SPACE PRESERVATION AND PARK DEVELOPMENT;
ESTABLISHING A SPECIAL FUND FOR MONEY PAID FOR PARK DEVELOPMENT; CONTAINING
A SAVINGS CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of North Richland Hills, Texas, has
adopted a comprehensive Master Plan of the City which identified the need
for additional Park Land within the City; and
WHEREAS, continuing residential development within the City increases the
need for the additional public open space, placing an inordinate burden on
the existing City resources to provide this open space; and
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes the public open space in form of
neighborhood parks is necessary and in the interest of public welfare, andu
the only adequate method to provide for the same is by incorporation of
procedures into the planning and development of property in the City thru
the Subdivision Ordinance to accomplish park dedication or the deposit of
money in lieu of actual land dedication; NOW THEREFORE,
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS,
TEXAS, THAT:
Ordinance #195, the Subdivision Ordinance, adopted July 8, 1968 and
heretofore amended, be and the same is hereby amended to include the
following provisions:
1. Any person, firm or corporation offering a Preliminary or Final Plat
for development of any area zoned R-I, R-2, R-3, R-4-SD, R-5-D, R-6-T,
R-7-MF, or R-8 in the City shall in such platting include a fee simple
dedication to the City of North Richland Hills of land for public park
purposes. Such dedication sqall be on the basis of one (1) acre of land
per each 104 proposed ~esidential units. The submitted plat shall show the
area proposed to be gedicated under this ordinance.
2. The City Council declares that development of an area smaller than one
(1) acre for public park purposes is impractical. Therefore, if the
proposed subdivision would contain less than one hundred four (104) units,
the developer shall be required to pay the applicable cash in lieu of land
amount provided by Section 7, rather than to dedicate any land area. No
plat showing a dedication of less than one (1) acre shall be approved.
3. In instances where an area of less than five (5) acres is required to
be dedicated, the City shall have the right to accept the dedication for
approval on the Final Plat, or to refuse same, after consideration of the
recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Parks and
Recreation Board, and to require payment of cash in lieu of land in the
amount provided by Section 7, if the City determines that sufficient park
area is already in the public domain in the area of the proposed
development, or if the recreation potential for that zone would be better
served by expanding or improving existing parks.

4. The dedication required by this Ordinance shall be made by filing of
the Final Plat or execution of a deed of trust for the property to be
dedicated. In the event that actual number of completed dwelling units
exceed the figure upon which the original dedication was based, such
additional dedication shall be required, and shall be made by payment of
the cash in lieu of land amount provided by Section 7.
5. Subject to veto of It he City Council, prior to Final Platting, a land
owner responsible for dedication under this ordinance may elect to meet the
requirements of Items 1 thru 4 in the whole or in part by a cash payment in
lieu of land, in the amount set forth in Section 7. Such payment in Lieu
of land shall be made at or prior to the time of Final Plat Approval.
6.
The City may from time to time decide to purchase land for parks in or
near the area of actual or potential development. If the City does
purchase park land in a park zone on its own initiative, the
subsequent required park land dedications for that zone shall be in
cash only until such time as the cumulative total of funds in the park
fund for that zone are calculated to have reimbursed the City's actual
cost of acquisition and development of such park land. The cash
amount shall be equal to the sum of (a) the average price per acre of
such land, and (b) the actual cost of adjacent street and on-site
utilities, or an estimate of lsuch actual cost provided by the City
Engineer. Once the City has been reimbursed entirely for such
parklands within a park zone, this section shall cease to apply, and
the other sections of this ordinance shall again be applicable.
7. To the extent that Section 6 is not applicable, the dedication
requirement shall be met by a payment in lieu of land at a per-acre price
set from time to time by resolution of the City Council, sufficient to
acquire land and provide for adjacent street and utilities for a
neighborhood park to serve the park zone in which such development is
located. Unless changed by the C1ty Council, such per-acre price shall be
computed on the basis of $225 per dwelling unit. Cash payments may be used
only for acquisition, or improvement of a neighborhood park located with the
same zone as the development.
8. Special Fund, Right to Refund.
A. There is hereby established a special fund for the deposit of all
sums paid in lieu of land dedication under this Ordinance, which fund
shall be known as the Parkland Dedication Fund.
B. The City shall account for all sums paid in lieu of land
dedication under this ordinance with reference to the individual plats
involved. Any funds paid for such purposes must be expended by the
City within two (2) years from the date received by the City for
acquisition of development or development of a neighborhood park as
defined herein. Such funds shall be considered to be spent on a first
in, first out basis. If not so expended, the owners of the property
on the last day of such period shall be entitled to a pro rata refund
of such sum, computed on a square footage or area basis. The owners
of such property must request such refund within one year of
entitlement, in writing, or such right shall be forfeited.

C. There are created by the enactment of this Ordinance a total of
five (5) park zones within the City, as delineated on the accompanying
map. All funds accumulated thru cash payments in lieu of land in any
one park zone shall be identified as being attributable to that zone
and must be so designated in the Parkland Dedication Fund. All
expenditures from the Parkland Dedication taken from a particular zone
must be expended for land or improvements in that same park zone.
9. Additional Requirements, Definitions.
A. Any land dedicated to the City under this ordinance must be
suitable for park and recreation uses. The following characteristics
of a proposed area are generally unsuitable:
1. Any area located totally within the Floodway of the One
Hundred Year Flood Plain.
2. Any areas of severe or unusual topography or slope which
renders the property unusable for usual recreational activities.
The above characteristics of a proposed park land dedication area may
be grounds for refusal of the Preliminary or Final Plat.
B. Drainage areas may be accepted as part of a park if the channel is
constructed in accordance with City Subdivision Standards, and if no
significant area of the park is cut off from access by such channel.
c. Each park must have ready access to a public street.
10. Unless provided otherwise herein, an final action on any proposed park
dedication shall be by the City Council. All plats considered by the City
Council shall have been considered þy the Planning and Zoning Commission
and the Commission shall make a recommendation to the City Council
regarding approval of the plat and regarding the acceptance of the proposed
park land dedication or the payment in lieu of land. Any proposal
considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission under this Ordinance shall
have been reviewed by the Park and Recreation Board and a recommendation
made to the Commission. The Commission may make a recommendation contrary
to the Park and Recreation Board decision a concurring vote of at least
three (3) members.
11. Should any portion or part of this Ordinance be held for any reason
invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not be construed to affect any
other valid portion hereof, but all valid ~ortions hereof shall remain in
full force and effect.

Martin Drive is part of the 1987 Construction Program of our bond program.
At the present time the right-of-way documents are available to begin the
process of obtaining the extra right-of-way needed for this street.
We have enclosed a strip map showing the right-of-way parcels we need to
obtain for this project. You may wish to keep this handy for future reference
and to check off the parcels as they are obtained and Council approves the
purchase. The parcels that are high-lighted on the strip map are the
parcels that need to be obtained for this project. Parcels 1, 2, 3, and
8 are not high-lighted because it has been determined that they are not needed.
The City Engineer will have an aerial map showing the trees that will have to
be removed on this project.
This street will be reconstructed from where it intersects Cardinal Lane
to the east to Crane Road as a thirty foot wide street. From Crane Road
east to Precinct Line Road it will be constructed as a collector street.
The plans and specifications for this street will be available in the
conference room for review at the Pre-Council Meeting.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the plans and specifications
for Martin Drive and authorize the Staff to proceed with right-of-way
acquisition.

Construction of Starnes Road and Hightower Drive ApprovalAgenda Number: GN 87-114
Starnes Road and Hightower Drive are part of our bond program and were
scheduled to be constructed in 1987. These streets have been engineered
and right-of-way has been acquired for the purpose of this construction.
Starnes Road will be a forty foot wide street from Rufe Snow to Davis
Boulevard when it is completed. Hightower Drive will be a forty-eight
foot street from where it dead ends at the present time in Briarwood
Estates west to the Morgan Meadows drainage channel.
At the present time we plan to bid both of these streets at the same time
in the interest of obtaining the lowest possible prices. Richard Albin
is preparing an assessment roll on both streets at the present time and
we should be ready for bidding within the next few weeks.
Plans and specifications for both of these streets will be available for
review at the Pre-Council Meeting.
Recommendation:
The staff recommends approval of the plans and specifications for Starnes Road
and Hightower Drive.

COUNCIL PLANS APPROVAL AND ASSESS. HEARINGS
Ve are requesting that the referenced projects be placed on the October
12, 1987, Pre-Council Meeting Agenda for Council consideration of approval
of the construction plans. By copy of this letter, plans for these
projects are being submitted to the Public Yorks Department for additional
Staff. review prior to the Council meeting.
Preliminary assessment rolls will be submitted to the Staff for further
review and approval prior to the Pre·Council meeting also. In addition,
we would recommend that items be placed on the Regular Council Agenda for
approval of cost estimates and setting of "the proposed Assessment Hearing
date for the Regular Council meeting on November 9, 1987, for all three
proj ec ts .
Article 110Sb, Section 9, of the Civil Statutes, requires that the
Assessment Hearing be advertised twenty-one (21) days prior to the hearing
- at least three (3) times in the newspaper, and that the property owners
being assessed are notified by mail at least fourteen (14) days prior to
the hearing. Based on these requirements we would suggest the following
schedule:

* NOTE: Bidding Advertisement for Starnes and Hightower only
since ROV for Martin Drive not acquired yet, unless
ROV for Martin acquired by November 17, 1987.
Ve understand that all right·of-way on Hightower has been acquired, but a
couple of parcels on Starnes have not yet been obtained. The Starnes Road
improvements can be built without the two outstanding R.O.V. parcels, but
the pa.rkway width will be restricted in those areas. Ve recommend
advertising both Starnes and Hightower on the same day to get better bid
prices on each project. Since no right-of.way on Martin has been acquired
yet, this project should not be advertised until all the required
right-of-way has been obtained.
Advan~ed data on each of these projects, including "zinger" lists will be
provided prior to the Council meeting of October 12, 1987, if you so
direct. Otherwise, we will provide plans and other material for the

development in each of the above drainage areas a plan must be devised for
financing the augmentation of the drainage plan and such financing plan
must comply with the terms of Senate Bill 336; and
WHEREAS, the development of such plan must include impact fees on
undeveloped land within the drainage areas in order to equitably apportion
the cost of future drainage and flood control projects to control storm
water; and
WHEREAS, the City Council intends to comply with Senate Bill 336
in establishing impact fees to pay for future drainage and flood control
projects in the above drainage areas;
WHEREAS, a study is necessary in order to begin the procedure

The City Staff is directed to evaluate adverse drainage impact in
each outfall drainage area at the time a zoning or platting application is
filed. If, in the opinion of the Planning and Development Director and the
City Engineer, a proposed plat or zoning application does adversely impact
drainage in any of the above drainage areas, then the said Director sha1l

this paragraph shall not be construed as a moratorium on new development.
Any aggrieved person may file an appeal to the City Council and the
applicant shall be entitled to file the application un1ess the City Council

which are filed and pending.
4.

directed to use non-employee qualified professionals in conducting this
initial study.

411.fubject: Reject Bids for Type I Ambulance Chassis Remount
I
Council Meeting Date: 10/12/87
Agenda Number:
PU 87-41
At the regularly scheduled Council Meeting of September 28, 1987,
Council approved the rejection of bids for a complete new ambulance,
and authorized the funds be reappropriated for Fiscal Year 1987-88.
Staff has also obtained bids for a remount of an ambulance presently
in the fleet. (A remount is installing our present module on a new
chassis.)
On September 29, 1987, sealed bids were opened for the remount of our
Type I Module Ambulance as described above. Bids are summarized as
follows:
Vendor Exceptions Amount
1 . Collins 3 $32,355
(Alternate) 3 (87 Chassis> $31,800
2. Russell Bros. 13 $26,950
Staff solicited bids from eight (8) vendors, and only two (2)
re?ponded. Both vendors; Collins and Russell Bros., failed to provide
acceptable bid bonds. In addition, staff finds both bids unacceptable
for the remount and would be in the best interest of the City of North
Richland Hills to readvertise for competitive bids simultaneously with
the request for proposals on a new ambulance.
Recommendation: Reject all bids~ readvertise and solicit new bid
proposals.
