Mr. Burk Collins, developer, 8251 Bedford Euless Road, appeared before the Council. Mr. Collins stated the property in question was adjacent to the Northeast Business Park. Mr. Collins stated the zoning request was to increase the park to accommodate warehouses and administrative offices for Haverty's Furniture. Mr. Collins stated if the request was approved it would only increase the business in Northeast Business Park approximately 6 1/2 acres. Mr. Collins stated it would increase tax revenue for the City, plus create new jobs in the ar.ea. Mr. Collins stated he had negotiated with most of the owners on Odell Street and offered contracts on both sides of the street. Mr. Collins stated he intended to continue with his negotiations to purchase property along Odell Street. Councilwoman Moody asked if there would be a railroad spur to Haverty's. Mr. Collins stated they did not intend to put in a railroad spur. Councilwoman Moody stated she had heard the development would be a manufacturing plant and not a warehouse. Mr. Collins stated it would be a distribution center. Councilwoman Moody asked Mr. Collins if he had made offers to all of the property owners and did he have proof. Mr. Collins stated yes. Mayor Pro Tern Fisher asked if the negotiations were at commercial or residential rate. I Ie I I' I I I I I Ie I I I I I I Ie I I October 12, 1987 Page 3 Mr. Collins stated commercial rate. Councilman Davis asked if there would be an adequate buffer between the residential and commercial if Mr. Collins was unable to purchase all of the property on the north side of the street. Mr. Collins stated he could not answer that until he had the final building plans. Councilman Davis asked if the plans would be available at the time of platting. Mr. Collins replied yes. Mayor Pro Tern Fisher asked where the traffic would be entering into the project. Mr. Collins stated he was unable to answer at this time. Mr. Collins asked for rebuttal time if there was opposition to this request. . Ms. Barbara Dutton, Odell Street, appeared before the Council. Ms. Dutton stated she was under contract to Mr. Collins to purchase her house. Ms. Dutton stated that she felt that it was the highest and best use for the land. Ms. Dutton stated there were only eight property owners and only six lived there. Mr. J. H. Baker, 8336 Odell, appeared before the Council. Mr. Baker stated he did not want to see any of his neighbors hurt but he was in favor of the zoning request. Mr. Baker stated he was also speaking on behalf of two of his neighbors who could not attend the meeting. Mayor Echols called for ~nyone wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward. Mr. V. L. Gibson, 8333 Odell, appeared before the Council. Mr. Gibson stated he felt it was inappropriate to only zone one side of the street. Mr. Gibson stated that Mr. Collins had offered to buy his home but the offer was unacceptable. Ms. Hazel Odette, 8337 Odell, appeared before the Council. Ms. Odette stated she felt like this would generate a lot of traffic and she was in opposition to the request. Ms. Odette stated Mr. Collins had not been near her place or made any kind of offer. Councilwoman Moody asked Ms. Odette if she was saying Mr. Collins had not made her an offer at all. Mr. Collins advised that he had tried to contact the Odettes and Ms. I Ie I I' I I I I I Ie I I I I I I Ie I I October 12, 1987 Page 4 Odette's neighbor had told him that Mr. Odette was in the hospital. Councilman Davis asked Ms. Odette if she received a fair offer would she object to the rezoning. Ms. Odette stated she would not be opposed if a fair offer was made. Mr. Don Chille, 8405 Timberlane Court, appeared before the Council. Mr. Chille stated he objected to the south side of Odell Street being rezoned to industrial and the north side left residential. Mr. Chille quoted an article that appeared in the May 1985 Star Telegram. Councilman Ramsey called for point-of-order. Councilman Garvin asked how this rezoning would impact on Mr. Chille. Mr. Chille stated the closer residential was to industrial property, market value did not have any potential. Mr. Chille stated it would also increase the traffic in the area. Ms. Joanie Ruppel, 7301 Stoneridge, appeared before the Council. Ms. Ruppel stated she objected because of the increase in traffic in the area and on Davis Boulevard. Mr. Frank Madden, 8620 Amundson, appeared before the Council. Mr. Madden stated he felt the City needed to pass an ordinance to prohibit railroad spurs in residential areas during night time hours. Mr. Madden stated he also felt the people on the north side of Odell should be bought out before the zoning was approved. Mr. Jim Cato, 6733 Parkw9od, ~ppear~d before the Council. Mr. Cato stated his concern was a large tract of land north of his property that was undeveloped. Mr. Cato stated he was also concerned over the precedent that might be set over the encroachment of industrial on the residential. Mr. Cato also quoted from a portion of the Zoning Ordinance which stated the purpose of the ordinance was to zone the entire area of the City into districts in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan for the purpose of promoting health, safety, morals and general welfare of the general public. Ms. Helen Carpenter, 8217 Odell, appeared before the Council. Ms. Carpenter stated she was highly opposed because of the increase in traffic and noise that would be generated. Councilwoman Moody asked Ms. Carpenter if she would be opposed if there was a buffer between her property and the development if she did not wish to sell. I Ie I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I Ie I I October 12, 1987 Page 5 Ms. Carpenter stated it was not a matter of her wanting to sell, she had not been offered a fair price. Councilwoman Moody asked Ms. Carpenter if an acceptable offer was made would she be opposed. Ms. Carpenter stated yes, because she would be stranded there with property she could do nothing with, but live on. Ms. Carpenter stated her mother lived on the property and would continue to unless and until they both agreed to sell. Ms. Carpenter stated there had been no provisions made for getting the trucks in and out, would the traffic be allowed to come out in front of her house. Councilwoman Moody stated this would be addressed at the time of platting. Ms. Mildred Allen, 8217 Odell, appeared before the Council. Ms. Allen stated she was very much opposed to the rezoning request. Ms. Allen stated she did not want to have to look at warehouses. Ms. Allen stated she had considered selling the property for a fair price. Ms. Allen stated that Mr. Collins had never contacted her daughter who owned the property. Mayor Pro Tern Fisher asked if a fair price was an appraised value. Ms. Allen stated she would have to have enough money to buy another place. Mr. Collins was granted rebuttal. Mr. Collins stated he would try to clear up some of the questions. Mr. Collins stated he could submit to the Council a contract that Ms. Allen had signed. Mr. Collins stated that in his opinion the highest and best use of the property was industrial. Mr. Collins stated he would continue negotiations with the re$idents on the north side of Odell. Councilman Davis asked if Mr. Collins would have a problem with putting possible stipulations that there would be no railroad spur to be used at night. Mr. Collins stated it would not be a problem for him, but he did not understand how the inner part of a furniture warehouse worked. There being no one else wishing to speak Mayor Echols closed the Public Hearing. 8. ORDINANCE NO. 1499 APPROVED Councilwoman Moody moved, seconded by Councilman Garvin, to approve Ordinance No. 1499. Councilman Davis asked Attorney McEntire if it would be possible to place I Ie I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I Ie I I October 12, 1987 Page 6 stipulations at the time of platting. Attorney McEntire stated stipulations should be addressed at the time of platting. Councilman Davis stated, as a note for record, that at the time of platting stipulations concerning the railroad spur and possible landscaping or fence buffer be required if the north side of Odell Street had not been bought at the time the building was occupied. Mr. Collins stated they would have no problem with the stipulations, it would be up to Haverty's. Councilwoman Spurlock made the following statements: liThe purpose of the Zoning Ordinance is to protect the health, safety, morality and welfare of the community; to carry out land use development policies of the Comprehensive Plan, and I see it now as residential; 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 fiscal environment; to protect and maintain property values; to ensure that land uses are properly situated in relationship to one another; to control density so that property can be adequately serviced by public services and facilities; to preserve and develop a community economic base. II Councilwoman Spurlock stated she felt that 98% of that went towards the citizens that live there in helping them to keep the zoning as it is. Councilman Ramsey stated that this issue was one of the toughest ones that the Council had gone through. Councilman Ramsey stated there had been several heated private discussions and he wanted to compliment the Council. Councilman Ramsey stated he would like it part of the record that he felt the Council~was ~arning this vote. Motion carried 4-3; Councilwomen Moody and Hinkle, Councilmen Davis and Garvin voting for; Mayor Pro Tern Fisher, Councilwoman Spurlock and Councilman Ramsey voting against. RECESS Mayor Echols called a five minute recess. BACK TO ORDER Mayor Echols called the meeting back to order with the same members present as recorded. 9.

Mr. Don Bowen, Planning and Zoning Chairman, appeared before the Council. Mr. Bowen stated the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission was that this ordinance be denied. Mr. Bowen stated that the Commission felt that they did not want to place a hardship on developers at this time. Councilman Davis expressed his appreciation for the time the Planning and Zoning Commission spent on the ordinance. Councilman Davis asked why the Council would hear something that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended for denial. Mr. Line stated the Council might disagree with the Planning and Zoning Commission and it was placed on the Agenda for Council's consideration. Mayor Echols called for anyone else wishing to speak.

I I I I I I ~ I I 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 pf 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. I ~ I I I I I I I - I I I I I I ~ I I Page Two PROCEDURE: All correspondence with property owners shall be made via registered mail and will conform to the schedule outlined below. An individual file for each affected property owner will be initiated with a chronological listing of all written and verbal contacts made with the property owner. A contact report will be maintained on each parcel of property in each project file (see sample 1). All payments for rights-of-way or easements will require prior City Council approval. If an emergency situation arises, the City Manager can approve acquisition and present the settlement agreement to the City Council for approval at the next scheduled Council Meeting. The following sequential actions must be followed when acquiring rights-of- way/easement. Initial Contact (See Example No.2) 1. Send initial letter to all affected property owners. 2. Explain the need for the right-of-way/easement. 3. Comment on public necessity and how project is being funded. 4. Approximate date of next contact. 5. Comment that engineering is being completed. 6. Estimate date for beginning of construction. 7. Include your name and phone number so the property owners can contact you if they have any questions. A business card should also be included. 15 Da s (or less) After Initial Contact - 1st Follow U See Example No. 3 1. Send unexecuted right-of-way documents and formally ask for their return response with reference to the right-of-way/easement being a donation or if they desire to be paid fair-market value or estimated fair-market value base on the best available information. 2. Inform the property owner if the project is, or is not, an assessment projeét. . 3. Give them an opportunity to formally meet with you no later than 10 days from the date of the letter. 4. Attach a project map showing the scope of the project. 30 Da s (or less) After Initial Contact - 2nd Follow U See Example No.4 1. State the written offer (estimated or actual fair-market value). 2. Indicate if no response is received from the property owner within 10 days, then the item will be placed on the next available City Council Agenda requesting Council authorization to begin condemnation proceedings. 3. If there is no response or the offer is refused, have formal appraisal made. 60 Days After Initial Contact If negotiated settlement has not been reached, request City Council direct the City Attorney to proceed with condemnation action. Do not delay condemnation based on an anticipated settlement. Cancel the condemnation hearings if and when the negotiated settlement is reached.

The estimated construction beginning date is June, 1988. The project will be partially funded by bond funds which were approved by the voters in 1985. The City follows a definite procedure for acquiring the land needed and for handling personal negotiations with each property owner. The property to be affected and the total square feet of right-of-way needed is referenced above and shown on the attached sketch map for your convenience. We believe at this stage of procedures it is mutually beneficial to consider dedication of the land. Improvement of the referenced street should enhance the land you own. Contact will be made with you in the near future. The necessary document needed for your execution will be forwarded or personally presented to you within a few weeks. Please feel free to contact me.

Please be aware that the City 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.

CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Planning and Development Department: &Ubject: 10/23/87 - Council Meeting Date: Appointment of the Planning and Zoning Aaenda Number: GN 87-123 Commissioners to the Capital Improvements Advisory ~ommrttee Ordinance 1505 At the City Council's directive the Staff is proceeding to initiate the processes required to assess Impact Fees on future development within the City in compliance with Senate Bill 336 enacted by the Legislature during the 1987 session. The bill authorizes cities to consider Impact Fees on four major facilities, Water, Sewer, Drainage and Streets. Specifically, the Staff is concentrating on the development of assessments for future drainage construction as its first priority. One of the first requirements in the process dictated by SB 336 is the appointment of an Advisory Conunittee who are charged with the development of "Land Use Assumptions" for the City and a "Capital Improvement Program" which supports the development of the City under the Land Use Assumptions. The Bill stipulates the Advisory Conunittee must have a specific makeup which assures that the development conununity is represented in the deliberations on the two plans. The current North Richland Hills Planning and Zoning Conunission members do meet the required criteria and the Bill specifically allows the Planning and Zoning to serve as the Advisory Committee. 4IÞRECOMMENDATION: It is reconunended that the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 1505 appointing the members of the Planning and Zoning Conunission, in total, as the Capital Improvements Advisory Committee in compliance with SB 336.

Vendor D, Finger Furniture, did not bid on 4 items with a cost estimate of $1,226.00.

This right-of-way document is not required at the present time for the roadway improvements but is needed for a water line that will be extended from the Morgan Meadows box culvert west to Douglas Lane. The terms and conditions for this right-of-way are: payment of $1.00 per square foot for the right-of-way to be taken; at the time the street is constructed on this right-of-way the fence that is in place will be moved; an electrical conduit will be placed under the driveway for future electrical wiring. The last two items are normally done when a street is constructed under any circumstance. Because of confusion and inconvenience caused by the handling of this acquisition which were not the fault of Mr. & Mrs. Famigletti, the City Manager authorized purchase of this right-of-way under emergency conditions, assuming Council ratification, so that a check in payment of the costs could be presented to Mr. & Mrs. Famigletti at a closing on the right-of-way purchase scheduled for Thursday evening, October 22nd. Funding Source: The original appropriation for right-of-way acquisition was made from 1985 General Obligation Bonds proceeds in the amount of $10,000. The total expended to date including this parcel is $25,998.53. It is requested that $15,999 be appropriated from the Unspecified Projects Account prior to 1985 (13-90-99-4600) to cover all actual right-of-way costs expended to date. Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council ratify payment of $1.00 per square foot to Mr. & Mrs. Robert Famigletti for purchase of right-of-way along Hightower Road for a total of $5,608.53.

Ditch Witch C. *Vermeer Equipment Inc. 0 No Bid No Bid $18,000 Five (5) bid packages were mailed out to tree spade manufacturers. Only one (1) bid was received primarily because most manufacturers supply truck mounted units; a truck mounted unit will cost from $45,000 to $60,000 depending on the type of truck specified and extra equipment. The trailer mounted unit will do the same job as the truck mounted unit. The only advantage to a truck mounted unit would be highway travel <i.e., Dallas to Ft. Worth). ·This is not a requirement for our intended use. Should Council wish to obtain the Vermeer Tree Spade, the funding source availability is as follows: Fundinq Source: Since Support Services (Vehicle Maintenance Division) owns and maintains all equipment and vehicles, the proposed purchase shoùld be appropriated from that fund.
