The two small tracts fronting Watauga Road in front of the City's Service Center are existing commercial tracts. 3. The duplex use on the southeast corner of Smithfield Road and Continental Trail was not approved and will be residential. 4. The southwest corner of Wilson Lane and Smithfield Road was approved for commercial use. 5. The tract on the north side of Green Valley Drive west of Davis Boulevard should be a residential use. 6. The tract east of Davis Boulevard at Eden Road should be a residential use. 7.

DATE: January 28, 1986 SUBJECT: New Litter Enforcement Program ---------------------------------------------------------------- The State Highway Department's new Litter Enforcement Incentives Program is here, and all Texas communities are eligible to take advantage of it immediately. Keep Texas Beautiful, Inc., is assisting the Highway Department in promoting the program throughout the state. We're hoping for statewide participation in the enforcement program, but believe it is especially important to the 150-plus cities that have indicated their intent to compete for the Governor's Community Achievement Awards this year. Remember that enforcement accounts for 10 percent of the overall Governor's Awards criteria. Enclosed is an advance copy of Volume 3 of KTB's Leadership Update, devoted entirely to the Highway Department's new program. Also enclosed are copies of the official program guidelines and the actual contract to be entered into by the State and participating cities. We are pleased to be able to share this information with you on the first anniversary of the Highway Commission's vote to establish its $4 million anti-litter campaign. cc: KAB System Coordinators KTB District Governors KTB County Coordinators KTB Board Members KTB Advisory Board Members PRESIDENT Dr. William R.

BOX 2251 · AUSTIN, TEXAS 78768 · 512/478..8813 ' PUBLISHED 30 WEEKS PER YEAR FEBRUARY 3, 1986 Dear Keep Texas Beautiful Supporter: VOLUME 1, NO. 3 If Keep,Texas Beautiful and the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation have their way, 1986 will be the year that littering ceases to be a risk-free crime in Texas. PARTY'S OVER, Litter laws are like any laws -- to work they LITTERBUGS need to be enforced. Our track record's poor: statistics on cities are hard to come by, but we know that only ,517 littering citations (just two per county) were issued statewide by the Department of Public Safety in 1984. The giant has awakened, however, and to prove it Texas will spend up to $1 million over the next year on litter enforcement incentives. The success of this new program depends on our ability to convince people that littering is a crime -- a costly crime that's no longer a low priority with the police. The objectiv~ is deterrence through raised awareness. Enforcement is one of the four major building blocks in the KEEP AMERICA BEAUTIFUL System. Until now, however, "litter enforcement has been on police departments' back burner," according to Ed Davis of San Antonio, Keep Texas Beautiful's Enforcement Task Force chairman. UPGRADE CITY The Highway Department's new program dovetails . ORDINANCES... nicely with a new law that gives cities the green light to put more teeth into their litter ordinances. Together they form a powerful new one-two punch for litter prevention in Texas. A law passed by the 69th Legislature and signed by Governor Mark White allows cities and towns to adopt ordinances raising'the maximum fine for a littering conviction to $1,000. The law, "Vegetation and Litter Violations and Penalties: Municipalities," doubles the previously ,permissible maximum fine. A few cities have already acted to increase the penalties. Local pressure on elected officials can help to further the trend. ...THEN WRITE The next step is enforcement. "There will always MORE TICKETS be a few individuals who refuse to change their behavior," according to the KAB System training manual. "In these instances, consistent and effective enforcement...will serve to change behavior and reinforce, for the rest of the conununity, its own commitment to cleanliness." A PUBLICATION FOR KEY VOLUNTEERS AND PROGRAM PARTICiPANTS r-: . .. .'. . , ., ~e I ~J ~.. ~ ~ f -~ : ~ i I f Ie ~. i t .~ I-",,¡ -:'1 ] ¡ . .! f ~ I LITTER: A It's true: the toughest ordinance in the world NEW PRIORITY isn't worth the paper it's printed on if it's not enforced. The State Highway Commission knew this when it structured its first-ever $4 million litter prevention program last spring. It earmarked 25 percent of the total for enforcement incentives. Nothing of this scale had ever been attempted in Texas -- indeed a~ywhere. It posed quite a challenge to the three people in the' H1ghway Department's Safety and Maintenance Operations Division charged with devising the plan: Chief Engineer Mîlton M. Dietert, ~upervising Landscape Architect Craig Steffens, and Program D1rector Melody Hughes. As they explored ways to encourage enforcement, they kept hearing one continuing refrain: Above all, keep it simple. Police CRIME AND A person cited for littering in Texas faces one of PUNISHMENTS many possible punishments, depending on the jurisdiction in which the crime was committed. Here's a rundown on some of the major ones: : i . Within a municipality: A local police force citation can yield a fine of up to $1,000, if the city has upgraded its ordinance to reflect the new ceiling. The city can be reimbursed for $20 per citation'under the new incentives program only if the citation was issued on a State Highway right of way. Along a public highway: The Litter Abatement Act, as amended last year by the 69th Legislature, sets fines of $50-$400 for littering within 300 yards of a public highway. That includes "any road, street, way, thoroughfare, beach or park open for vehicular traffic" -- and thus all 124 Texas State Parks, all county parks, and most beaches along the Gulf Coast. , ,¡ ;.j '. î On Federal Land (including National Parks, Monuments and Seashores): . The Code of Federal Regulations outlaws litter, but fines are set by the respective u.s. District Courts. Texas courts have uniformly imposed a maximum fine of $50 for littering. Rangers in Big Bend National Park emphasize cleanup over· citations and fines, while their counterparts at Padre Island National Seashore complain that the vast bulk of their beach litter is washed ashore from the Gulf of Mexico. ~i I'~ , 1 I ¡ , r At Sea: The u.s. Coast Guard will refer cases of littering from oceangoing vessels to the u.s. Attorney's office for prosecution under the Refuse Act of 1899. Criminal penalties including fines of $500-$2,500 and jail terms of 30 days to 1 year can be imposed for convictions. Illegal dumping from offshore oil rigs is punishable by civil fines of up to $5,000. Elsewhere: Littering on any private or public land not covered by the provisions above is punishable by a fine of $40-$200 under the Litter Abatement Act. ; ) ! !

II JA Lr Mct1 forces today are wary and weary of government "incentives programs," as the term conjures up visions of monsters like the Federal/State Selective Traffic Enforcement Act. That program was designed to fund police crackdowns on certain traffic violations such as drunk driving and Interstate Highway speeding, but has become such a nightmare of red tape that most local forces forgo the money in favor of administrative sanity. The Texas program needed to be short on paperwork and accessible by communities of all sizes. The wrong program could allow an aggressive large city to swallow up a disproportionate chunk of the incentives budget before other, smaller communities were able to get a contract signed. A PROGRAM On January 7, the program became reality as the IS BORN Highway Department's 25 District Offices were provided guideline packets and contracts for distribution throughout the state. The District Offices immediately began contacting cities, and the word was out. Steffens' office received more than 30 calls. "It wi.II work," Steffens told the Keep Texas Beautiful Board of Directors at its Jan. 16 meeting in Austin. "It's not perfect. We'd like to be able to include counties in the program, for . example. But we think it's a straightforward way to move littering up the priority ladder at the local police level." MINIMAL Simple it is: Municipalities can sign a contract PAPERWORK with the State that will allow them to be reimbursed $20 for each litter citation issued. The city council must pass a resolution approving enrollment in the program. Cities collect their litter citations, send copies of them to the Highway Department District Office every quarter, and receive their reimbursement checks. They can be reimbursed up to their ceiling amount or until the $1 million fund is exhausted. --- ~. .. ~ - ..... . -- . .._.... .. . .. ...._... 0.._ . ...._ ~. __..~ ... .............. ._ .. ._.... _ .-.~_-.-. I I , I \ i \ Remember. . . 1. Cities have to enroll. The council must approve a resolution, and the city must contract with the state. 2. It's not a bounty system. The city receives the reimbursement, not the individual police officer. Cities can earmark their reimbursements for specific projects, however, incluâing those that benefit police. 3. Citations, not convictions, drive the program. Cities are reimbursed for the citations they issue, regardless of their eventual disposition. 4. PUblicity is the key to success. Local coordinators and interested citizens can work with the police departments to increase the community's awareness of the program. -.-... ....

Some may have already approved resolutions authorizing enrollment. To find out about your community, ask the city manager's office whether the subject has been scheduled for consideration by the council. CITIES CAN If it hasn't, urge the city manager to propose it. ENROLL NOW Explain the painlessness and simplicity of the program as well as the intended results. If the city is unaware of the program, contact Keep Texas Beautiful or the Highway Dept. District Office for information and a contract. Once your community is in the program, law enforcement supervisors (mayor, city manager, police chief, police sergeant) are the people who will make it a priority for officers. Work with them to achieve that result. We're hoping for participation from 100 percent of the communities in Texas by the end of the first year. If cities take full advantage of the $1 million program, 5,000 littering citations will be issued this year. That should get results. For a cleaner, more beautiful Texas, Sincerely, ^~~ {k.

Mayor Echols stated that in addition there was a I' Ie I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I I Ie I February 24, 1986 Page 5 mono-pole billboard at the intersection of Grapevine Highway and IH 820. Mayor Echols stated that the proposed billboard would meet the criteria of the Sign Ordinance if the existing nonconforming signs were removed from the site. Mayor Pro Tem Davis moved, seconded by Councilman Ramsey, to approve SO 86-2 on the condition that before the permit was issued all nonconforming signs be torn down. Motion carried 6-0. 13. SO 86-3 REQUEST OF ALAN YOUNG BUICK FOR VARIANCE TO SECTION 4.1(B) .F THE SIGN ORDINANCE - TABLED - Mayor Echols advised that the requested sign would exceed the ordinance controls in three areas. Mr. Alan Young, President of Alan Young Buic~ and Danny Mayer appeared before the Council. Mr. Mayer stated this request was to replace the sign that was placed there originally by General Motors Corporation. Mr. Mayer stated this sign would advertise their outside used car lot. Mr. Mayer stated the sign placed there by General Motors was not visible from the freeway. After discussion, Mayor Pro Tem Davis moved, seconded by Councilman Ramsey, to table this request. Motion carried 6-0. 16. SO 86-4 REQUEST OF RICHLAND HILLS CHURCH OF CHRIST FOR VARIANCE TO SIGN ORDINANCE SECTION 4.1(B) AND 4.2(B) APPROVED Mayor Echols advised this request was for two ground signs and the Staff had asked the Council to make a determination whether the church site should be considered two separate developments and whether a variance should be granted to allow an oversize sign for the main sanctuary bUilding. Mr. Michael Barnard, Architect for Richland Hills Church of Christ, appeared before the Council. Mr. Barnard stated that it was his understanding that the Sign Ordinance's definition of one development did not apply to this property. Mr. Barnard stated that the property was divided by Meadow Lakes Drive leaving two separate lots and bUildings. Mr. Barnard stated they were therefore requesting two separate ground signs. Mr. Barnard stated that the information the Council had received indicated they were requesting a 400 square foot sign for the main facility. Mr. Barnard stated that in I' Ie I I I I I I I . I I I I I I I Ie I February 24, 1986 Page 6 discussion with Mr. Wheeler and Mr. Royston, the area was the attraction area and he calculated it at 286 square feet. Mr. Barnard stated that in addition they were requesting some small directional signs and and lettering on glass door fronts. Mayor Pro Tem Davis asked how he arrived at 286 square feet. Mr. Barnard stated that according to the Sign Ordinance, the definition was the attraction area and it had been interpreted by City Staff as the lettering area of the sign. Mayor Pro Tem Davis moved, seconded by Councilman Newman, to approve SO 86-4 subject to the directional signs being under six square feet, and the large sign be reduced to 300 square feet. Motion carried 6-0. *17.

PU 86-9 REQUEST TO DENY BID FOR LIGHTING AT RICHFIELD PARK APPROVED Councilman Ramsey moved, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Davis, to approve PU 86-9. Mr. Horvath stated that late last summer the staff was advised of a serious problem with the electricity at Richfield Park. Mr. Horvath stated that the electrical wiring that was installed several years ago did not meet the code. Mr. Horvath stated that last September an estimated cost of $25,000 was given to the City to correct the problem. Mr. Horvath stated that the I Ie I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I Ie I I February 24, 1986 Page 7 Park Board, through the City Manager's office, authorized the engineers to take a detailed look at the problem and come back with specifications and construction plans to correct the problem. Mr. Horvath stated that between September and January the cost increased to $100,000 and the City Council approved the funds in January to alleviate the problem. Mr. Horvath stated that bids were taken, only one bid was received and that bid was $178,000. Mr. Horvath stated the staff felt the bid of $178,000 should be rejected, the project be rebid, and the bidders be given more time to complete the project. Mr. Horvath stated that RYA had been very helpful and understanding of the City's dilemma. Mr. Horvath stated he had talked with Texas Electric and there was no possible way any patchwork could be done. Ms. Linda Turk, 6266 Gayle, representing RYA, appeared before the Council. Ms. Turk stated that they were aware that the bids came in too high and RYA took it upon themselves to talk to the contractor that did Northfield Park. Ms. Turk stated this particular contractor was not aware bids were taken and said they would work within the city's budget to have the lights on by April. Ms. Turk stated that on February 19th she signed a contract with the City for use of the ballpark during daylight hours only. Ms. Turk stated that the park was closed and the parking lot was torn up. Ms. Turk stated they would like to have two nights at another park. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated he did not think that the city had another baseball park. Mr. Horvath stated no, that the city did not have another softball park. Mayor Echols stated he was under the impression that RYA had talked to other cities that had light facilities. Ms. Turk stated she had talked to the City of Watauga but their parks did not have lighting facilities. Mr. Horvath asked Ms. Turk if she had talked to the City of Colleyville; that they had been very helpful with this type of situation in the past. Ms. Turk replied she had not talked with Colleyville. Councilwoman Moody asked Ms. Turk if she had talked to the schools and the YMCA. Ms. Turk replied they were going to talk to the high school about the older children playing there, but that would not solve their problem for the younger children. Mayor Pro Tern Davis stated he wished the City could do something better, but based on what the staff had advised he did not think she would want her children playing at Richfield Park in its present condition. Councilman Ramsey stated he was in agreement with the field being unsafe and felt it was unfortunate that it had continued on for this long. Councilman Ramsey stated he did not know what else could be done at this point except I ~ I I I I I I I . I I I I I I I f I February 24, 1986 Page 8 make sure it did not happen again in the future. Councilman Ramsey stated that he was not aware that contracts were being signed by the City and would like to see something established more permanent in the future. Councilman Ramsey stated that he felt that RYA was doing a tremendous service to the city. Councilman Ramsey stated that he recommended that the Mayor appoint a committee consisting of a Council Person, Park and Recreation Board Member and a representative from the City Staff to resolve the issue. Mr. Tom Turner, 3008 Highland Crest Court, Hurst, appeared before the Council. Mr. Turner stated that one of the problems with the fields was that RYA worked with five different age groups. Mr. Turner stated that the youngest age group which started at 8 years of age played on smaller fields without pitching mounds. Mr. Turner stated the older groups, the Pony and Colt Leagues, were more like major league baseball and the high school fields could be used. Mr. Turner stated the pitchers mounds could not be torn down each time for the younger leagues. Mr. Turner stated that Richfield Park had four separate fields that were maintained by RYA and met their needs. Mr. Turner stated that RYA had made it a tradition not to play on Wednesday or Sunday because of church. Mr. Turner stated that the Pony League Baseball Regulations stated there should be a 12 game minimum schedule per year. Mr. Turner stated they had prepared a proposed schedule on being able to play one league each evening, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, and all leagues playing on Saturday. Mr. Turner stated therefore they would only be able to play nine leagues and that was only if there were no rainouts. Mr. Turner stated that these were the problems RYA was facing. Mr. Turner stated he understood the city's problems in not being able to take any bids but if someone else could do it within the budget he wished he could have been here. Ms. Gay Turner, 3008 Highland Crest Court, Hurst, appeared before the Council. Ms. Turner stated she had talked to the owners of Clark Electric and asked them why they did not bid on the project. Ms. Turner stated that Ms. Clark advised her they were unaware bids were taken. Ms. Turner stated she asked Ms. Clark if she would be interested in bidding and she replied yes. Ms. Turner stated that she advised Ms. Clark that they would have to work within the city's budget and she said if her sons could play in RYA Baseball they would do everything they could to work within the city's budget. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated that if the bids came in high again, the Council needed to have a consensus on another plan. Ms. Turner asked the Council to reopen the bids as soon as possible. Mayor Pro Tem Davis advised that RYA would not be able to use the park while the work was being done because it would be too dangerous. Motion to approve PU 86-9 carried 6-0. Mayor Echols appointed the following to serve on the committee: Councilman Ramsey; David McGilvary, Chairman, Park and Recreation Board; Dennis Horvath, Assistant City Manager; and Linda Turk, RYA.

CITIZEN PRESENTATION Mr. Tom Hedge, 5809 Crestwood, appeared before the Council. Mr. Hedge stated he owned a business on Davis Boulevard and he had been burglarized and robbed twice in the last two years. Mr. Hedge stated he was tired of being robbed and nothing being done. Mr. Hedge stated he knew the Police Department and they were very good policemen. Mr. Hedge stated the city was growing and there was not enough policemen to go round to work the cases. Mr. Hedge stated he would like to see the Council increase the Police Department personnel and look into having reserves. Councilman Fisher stated he did not know if the city had checked into reserves but that he knew of other cities that did have police reserves and were very successful. Councilman Fisher stated he felt it was time the city did look into the possibility of a reserve force. Mr. Hedge stated he was not qualified to be a reserve officer but he was Willing to go to school and learn. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated that he agreed 100 percent, but this was the first time anyone had brought the ide an of reserve officers to Council's attention. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated he felt the Assistant City Manager could look into it and determine if it would work. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated he would like to invite Mr. Hedge to come back before the Council in July at budget time. I' Ie I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I I Ie I February 24, 1986 Page 10 Mr. Hedge stated that he would. Councilwoman Moody stated she would like to thank Mr. Hedge and also felt the city had a fine Police Department. Councilman Ramsey stated he also wanted to thank Mr. Hedge and would encourage him to come back in July and remind the Council. Mr. Warren Condra, 7458 Meadow Court, appeared before the Council. Mr. Condra stated he had also been robbed. Mr. Condra stated when he resided in the City of Bedford he was robbed three times. Mr. Condra stated he thought the city had a very good Police Department. 27. ADJOURNMENT Mayor Pro Tem Davis moved, seconded by Councilman Ramsey, to adjourn. Motion carried 6-0.

Several times during that process public hearings have been held which gathered citizen input into the aspects of the planning of the City. Recently the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council met in a joint work session to review and comment on the final two aspects of the Master Plan, the Future Land Use Map and the Plan Policy Statement. With the comments and corrections directed by that joint meeting these two documents are ready to be included in the compilation of the overall Master Plan document. With the approval of these last two components as corrected the compilation of the Master Plan can be accomplished. The components which will be included in the Comprehensive Plan are: 1. Master Plan Analysis and Policy Statement 2. Future Land Use Plan 3. Thoroughfare Plan 4. Master Drainage Plan 5. Master Water System Plan 6. Master Sewer System Plan 7. Park Master Plan The Planning and Zoning Commission has previously approved and recommended that the City Council adopt the complete Master Plan of the City.

The statistical information contained in this section represents a combination of analysis of received statistics and subjective judgements made by the Planning and Zoning Commission regarding the City of North Richland Hills. POPULATION Purpose: The reason behind population analysis is that population statistics are a measure of the condition of a community. Population statistics are not an end to themselves, but are community indicators. Information as to the total expected population gives an approximation of what the overall demand for City services might be. Population statistics are often treated as if changes in population numbers occur in a vacuum. Population changes are interwoven with physical, political, economic, social and other forces. The more these forces are changed in dramatic or rapid form, the more dramatic and rapid are the changes in popula- tion. I ~ . , 'r, Ie I I I I I I I ~ I I I I I I I f I History: Holding Capacity: Historical population statistics for North Richland Hills begin in 1960. The following is a tabulation of the Bureau of the Census counts and a current estimate. 1960 1970 1980 1985 8,662 16,514 30,592 39,710 * *North Central Texas Council of Governments Estimate Since its incorporation, North Richland Hills has almost doubled in population every ten years. The City has also increased considerably in physical size through annexation. However, most of the land annexed was very sparsely developed, and the majority of the population growth has resulted from increases in residential development. Holding capacity is a term that refers to the number of persons that can live within a given geographical area given a certain population density or, when North Richland Hills is fully developed, how many people will live in the City. This is an important issue because of the fiscal factors. The cost of municipal services and sales tax as well as ad valorem tax income can be estimated, if the number of people, types and numbers of dwelling units, and business types are properly projected . Presently, North Richland Hills houses about ten persons per acre within fully developed residential areas. North Richland 2 I .. " ~ I I I I I I I . I I I I I I I f I Hills will have an ultimate population of approximately 90,000 persons when the City is fully developed. This is based on the presumption that about 85% of the land area will be used for residential purposes, that no further annexation takes place and that the density will remain the same, i.e. no major shifts will be made in the Zoning pattern or within the zoning categories. ECONOMIC CONDITIONS Retail: Industrial: The recent population growth and retail/commercial construction has propelled the City from a minor role to a major role in the economy of Northeast Tarrant County. The retail sector has experienced considerable growth and health in the past five years. This is primarily due to the opening of North Hills Mall and retail centers along the Rufe Snow corridor. With a continuing strong growth trend, ample room to grow and new retail/commercial facilities the retail/commercial sector should continue to grow. While the retail/commercial sector has experienced extensive growth, the industrial sector has lagged mainly due to a lack of a coordinated effort by the City and others to attract industrial users. The Industrial Development Board has been activated and is working diligently to attract clean industries 3 I .f r ~ I I I I I Conclusion: I I ~ I I I I I I I f I to the City. An advertising brochure with easily updatable information is being prepared for national and international distributions. Another factor is the lack of adequate thoroughfares to support truck traffic in the Industrial areas. The adoption and implementation of the Thoroughfare Plan included in this report will help answer those needs. The general economy is strong at this time in North Richland Hills. Recent developments have placed the City among the major regional retail/commercial market competitors. While the short term outlook is positive, the volatile nature of a retail oriented economy is such that rapid change can be negative as well as positive. Several problem factors are: o Aging of the older retail facilities in the southern portion of the City and of the population around them o Development of new superior regional retail facili- ties in the surrounding cities which could capture a considerable amount of sales dollars o Long lag time delay between development of new residential areas and subsequent development of retail facilities 4 I '.' .' ..... Ie I I I I I I I -- I II I I I I I Ie I The City should develop strategies to strengthen and diversify the retail sector in order to prolong the positive cycles of the retail sector. PHYSICAL FEATURES Drainage: It is useful to determine the natural and màn-made physical aspects of an area. An analysis of these features indicate their encouragement or discouragement of the use of lands by man. Environmental considerations are of significant importance. This is based primarily on practical considerations. The six drainage basin areas are: 0 Big Fossil Creek 0 Calloway Branch 0 Walker Branch 0 Little Bear Creek 0 Mesquite Branch 0 Mackey Branch and tributaries. These drainage areas are shown on the maps in the Master Drainage Plan. 5 I" . .~ ~ I I I I I Man-Made I Features: I . I I I I I I I f I Approximately one-half of the land in North Richland Hills is drained by Big Fossil Creek, Little Bear Creek, and their tributaries. The other one-half is drained by Walker Branch, Calloway Branch, Mesquite Branch, Mackey Branch and their tributaries. Big Fossil Creek and Little Bear Creek originate outside of the corporate limits. The remaining branches originate within the corporate limits of the City. In the Drainage Master Plan of the City these channels are proposed for full development. The solution of the flood plain problem will add a significant amount of land area previously unusable to the development pool. The significant feature is the large areas of residential and commercial development. It is fairly apparent from the growth rate of the community that residential development will be a dominant feature of the area. The available supply of treated water is a factor which can limit future development and possibly restrict the use of existing development if the City or its suppliers fail to plan for the future needs. To address that issue the City has directed the preparation of Water and Sewer System Master Plans which detail system needs to support full development. 6 I'" . "f Ie I I I I I I I -- I I I I I I I Ie I Another feature is the transportation infrastructure. Sign if i- cant ground transportation features are the highways and arterial routes that are primarily based on long standing routes that were established when the area was still primarily agricultural. These features will have a major role in determining the physical appearance of the City in future years. (See Thoroughfare Map in Section III) Another significant transportation infrastructure component that will play a role in shaping the community is a railroad track that bisects the community from the southwest to the northeast. This rail line lies along a key corridor between Fort Worth and the D/FW Airport. The areas where this track crosses major auto and truck routes will be likely candidates for industrial development locations. The access to the existing Railroad is under-utilized. Most existing light industrial uses are designed around truck transportation. The remaining significant transportation infrastructure component is Mangham Airport. Suffice it to say that while it is providing a transportation service, the existence of the airport has an inhibiting effect on residential development in the immediate area. Currently the property involved in the airport operations has been sold to a developer whose plans will not include use as an airport. The Commission and the City Council will be asked to make specific decisions as to the mix of uses on the Site and what percentage of the current Industrial Zoning ,is to be retained. 7 I . I' Ie I I I I I I I ~ I I I I I I I f I LAND USE General Discussion: Analysis of information gathered by the Planning and Zoning Commission brought out the following points: o As discussed earlier in this report substantial areas of the City remain undeveloped. Even in the developed areas, there are large tracts and numerous lots that have not been utilized. o A comparison of the land use map with a City zoning map shows some indications of over-zoning. Over-zoning has been defined by the American Society of Planning Officials (now merged with the American Institute of Planners into the American Planning Association) as "zoning more land area than can reasonably be expected to be developed for a particular use or zoning for an excessive population. Thus, over-zoning for industry would permit industry to locate in scattered areas and preclude land from being used for other purposes. This is one of the results of not having or not using a land use plan." o The map also shows some evidence of spot zoning, another result of not following a land use plan. Spot zoning is a relatively small area zoned differently from the zoning of the surrounding 8 I'" , . ~ I I I I I I I ~ I Urban Design Definition: I I I I I I f I area usually for an incompatible use and to favor the owner of a particular piece or pieces of property. Spot zoning can be invalidated by the courts when it violates (a) the intent of the comprehensive plan (b) the requirements of state enabling legislation. The 'spotness' is in the arbitrary and inappropriate nature of the zoning change rather than, as is commonly believed, in the size of land area. The use of many flexible techniques such as floating zones or conditional rezoning have been prohibited by the courts, the argument being that conferring narrow development permission is a form of spot zoning. Special small-area zoning districts, however, have been upheld where the comprehensive plan demonstrates a special need, such as for a historic area or to preserve a sensitive natural area. Urban design is that branch of planning primarily concerned with the functional and visual relationships between people and their physical environment and ways in which those relation- ships can be consciously improved. Urban design has surfaced as an issue in North Richland Hills. It is a difficult issue to address because so much of urban design is subjective. But there have been a number of specific urban design issues that have been raised by the citizens. 9 I'" '. ¡ Ie I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I I Ie I Positive Aspects: In general, it has been expressed that there are very attractive portions of the City, such as some residential subdivisions; that the many drainage areas offer opportunities for open space; that much of the City is undeveloped and there is opportunity to assure that new development reflects the City's desire for attractive and functional development; the citizens recognize the desirability of high urban design standards. Improvements: There are a number of specific items that have been mentioned as needing improvement. There will be some overlap between some of these items such as urban design issues and transpor- tation, housing and land use. These specific issues also relate to existing situations and to situations that may exist in the future. o Uncoordinated street pattern. In several subdivisions, the streets do not align with streets in adjacent areas or deadend without provisions being made to continue them in future development. o Too much on-street vehicle storage o Commercial and Industrial land uses not screened from adjacent residential uses 10 I" , . Ie I I I I I Housing I Discussion: I ~ I I I I I I I f I o Some property appears to be overzoned o Too much unscreened outdoor storage o Some real estate appears to be deteriorating o Some undeveloped properties have become unofficial dump grounds Concerns regarding housing can generally be related to either the number of units or aspects relating to the physical attributes of housing. The housing concerns in North Richland Hills are primarily related to the physical aspects: conditions (sound, deterior- ating, etc.); type (single family, duplex, apartment, etc.); density (how many dwelling units per acre); unit size (how many square feet per unit); location (where are the units and what is adjacent to them). Most of these concerns can be expressed in terms relating to the quality of the individual units and of the neighborhoods created by groups of homes. The purpose of this planning activity is to identify housing situations that can be improved. 11 I" Ie I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I I f I The following is intended to address those matters that have been expressed by the citizens and have been noted by the Planning and Zoning Commission. o There are several concerns relating to some of the older (30 years plus) existing housing. There are some isolated pockets of deteriorating housing units. There is concern that this deterioration might spread to adjacent property, or that it would adversely affect adjacent housing. o There are concerns regarding conversion of residential areas to commercial or industrial uses. Those concerns expressed here are for those areas where spot commercial development can have a negative effect on adjacent housing. o Some of the medium aged housing (20 years ±) is also having problems with encroachment from commercial and industrial activities. o There is also some apprehension regarding new housing. Most of these questions are regarding how can the quality of new single family subdivisions be insured. There seems to be an equation of size of unit and lot to the quality. This opinion is held even though housing costs are pushing the price of an average single family unit beyond affordabi1ity for most families. Many feel that smaller units on smaller lots will inevitably create areas of substandard quality. 12 I' · . . Ie I I I I I I I -- I I I I I I I I_ I Transportation/ Thoroughfare o There are also concerns regarding mUltifamily units. Most agree that there is already too much multifamily development under way at this time and would like to severely limit any more multifamily zoning. Introduction: Transportation is a major issue in North Richland Hills. It is Automobile: also a complex issue in that it involves various types of ground transportation. A discussion of automobile travel from a government perspective is a discussion of streets and highways. With auto travel, it is generally the responsibility of the traveller to provide the vehicle. It is the responsibility of various levels of govern- ment to provide the surface on which vehicles may ride. During the analysis of automobile travel, all input from the citizens emphasized'concern on how rapid is the pace of congestion. The most obvious is the congestion on all major routes through the City and at the borders. It is the opinion of the citizens and the Planning and Zoning Commission that all routes with a state or Federal designation are being utilized at or above capacity at this time. 13 t . I'· Ie I I I I I I I -- I I I I I I I Ie I Recommen- dations: Public Transit: Presently congestion is centered around SH 26 on either side of Loop 820; FM 1938 as it intersects with SH 26; Glenview Drive at Loop 820; Glenview Drive at intersection of SH 26; and Rufe Snow Drive at Loop 820 and the area immediately north of the intersection in the Commercial area. Although the North Central Texas Council of Governments Thoroughfare Plan, had been in unofficial use for some time, the City has now adopted an official Thoroughfare Plan and will -begin acquiring right of way for future thoroughfares based upon that plan. Development will occur in the path of arterial streets. The Developers of the City will be required to fund their part of the needed streets. With Developer participation the portion of the' overall cost of street extensions to be born by the Citizens will be much less. The City admittedly has some catching-up to do in constructing thoroughfare facilities in areas where development has already occurred. To date, There has been very little interest shown for a public transit system. As a practical matter, funding limitations and the high cost will limit the future of a public transit system, except as a part of the total approach to mass transit by the Fort Worth/Tarrant County Transit Authority and Dallas Area Rapid Transit. 14 t . I· · . c' ~ I I I I I I I ~ I I I I I I I f I Rail: CITY SERVICES Public Works: North Richland Hills is bisected by a rail line. The line is important immediately from an industrial development standpoint, and perhaps, as a future right of way for a mass transit corridor between Ft. Worth, the D/FW Airport and the North Dallas Environs. The one rail line is probably sufficient to provide the City with rail service required for a reasonable level of industrial development. The probable location for such rail oriented industrial development occurs where the rail line is also close to potential truck routes. Analysis of input from the City Staff and citizens leads the Planning and Zoning Commission to the conclusion that the present staff and supporting facilities are totally inadequate at this time. Several factors are: °Inadequate office and storage space °Inadequate number of trained professional inspectors °Lack of on-board professional city engineers and planners °Inadequate number of support personnel to adequately process zoning and platting cases 15 I · . . ~ I I Fire I Department: I I I I ~ I I I I I Police Department: I I f I °Scattered maintenance facilities leading to inefficiencies As the City grows it is imperative that the City provide adequate health and fire protection service to the citizens and business establishments. Therefore in the opinion of the Planning and Zoning Commission the City should adopt the plan that has been developed by the City Fire Department. Key requirements are: °Fire Station to serve Northeast sector of the City °Fire Station to serve Northwest sector of the City °Fire Training Complex °Animal Control Complex °Ambrilance Services There is a need at this time and in the future to increase personnel and to provide additional supporting facilities. Key requirements are: °Additional office and storage areas 16 I Ie I I I I I I I ~ I I I I I I I f I Library: City Cable Television: Parks and Recreation: °Additional parking for police vehicles °Increase in the number of trained police officers will be required as the population of the City grows °Lack of proper traffic engineering The plan submitted by the Library Staff appears to be well thought out and the Planning and Zoning Commission supports the removal of the Library function from City Hall to a stand alone Library facility centrally located. The Planning and Zoning Commission received little input from the citizens concerning City Cable Television, but there has been good response to the programming and information provided by the municipal channel, Citicable 36, during the last two years. The Parks and Recreation Board presented the currently adopted Park Plan. Recommendations of that report include: ° Retention of existing parks: Richfield Northfield Fossil Creek Norich 17 I: ~ 1 o Enlargement of Richfield Park if additional land can be obtained 1 o Construction of a central community recreational 1 center 1 Subsequent to adoption of the report the City conducted a 1 survey of citizens interest and found special interest in additional items not in the parks: 1 o A municipal swimming pool I ~ o Additional non-structured recreational facilities I Citizens input received by Planning and Zoning indicates strong interest in a municipal pool and non-structured recreational 1 facilities such as bike and hiking paths, picnic facilities, park benches and swings. 1 I The existing Park Plan for the City indicates a need for approximately 45 additional acres of park land. I 1 I f I 18 I' Ie I I COMPREHENSIVE MASTER PLAN SECTION 11 PLAN POLICIES I INTRODUCTION I I The Plan Policies Section of this document sets out goals and policies regarding the existing and future needs and aspirations of the City of North Richland Hills as identified by the City Council, the Planning and Zoning Commission, and the citizens of the City. I I Ie I The City of North Richland Hills is currently experiencing significant strength in both its economy and overall growth pattern. It is the intent of the City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission that every effort be made to encourage, sustain and improve upon these strengths. At the same time the growth pattern which is a product of this activity must be coordinated and directed. I I I I I I Ie I The following areas are identified as those in which the efforts of the City should be directed in achieving the overall goals stated above. 19 I' Ie I I I I I I I lit I I I I I I I Ie I 1. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT The overall health of a City is normally measured by its economic activity. This activity takes place on two levels which are of direct benefit to the citizens of the City. The first of these is the level of commercial and/or industrial activity. On this level a positive growth factor will provide necessary services for the citizens and an employment base for the City's economy. A secondary benefit of this activity is the increase in sales tax revenue which follows increased business growth. The second area is the development and growth activity level in the residential sector of the City. Again, a positive growth factor creates economic health by adding value to the City tax base and adding additional population to the City. As stated earlier, the City of North Richland Hills is experiencing a positive growth factor in both these areas at the present time. The Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council recognize the value of these growth factors. A continuing positive growth pattern is both desirable and essential. However, the intent of the City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission is that in encouraging the continuation of these growth patterns every effort will be made to maintain a balance between the various economic components. 20 I" ~ Ie I I I I I I I Ie I I I 2. LAND USE I I I I Ie I Currently the development pattern of the City of North Richland Hills has considerable activity and economic strength in retail development both in current tax income and in ongoing development activity. It is assumed that the retail businesses created by this massive expansion will continue to be an active and viable part of the community in the forseeable future. It is the intent of the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council to support the Commercial activity of the City recognizing the significant role it is playing in the economic health of the community. The City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission also recognize the responsibility they have to provide an economic balance of activity in the community. To that end the City will encourage the full utilization of the industrial zoned property within the City. The establishment of a sound industrial segment of the City's economy can be used to offset the rapid changes which can occur in the commercial/retail portion of the City's economy. According to current statistics approximately one-half of the land area of the City of North Richland Hills is still undeveloped. The direction in which the future land use of that undeveloped area is pointed will be a major determinant of the overall character and texture of the City for many years to come. 21 I' .. ~ Ie I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I I Ie I The Future Land Use Plan contained in this report is a compilation of the expectations of the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council as to the direction of growth in the City for the next several decades. It is the intent of the Commission and Council that the Land Use Plan be the basis for decision making in the guidance of that future development. The proposed Land Use Plan makes several basic assumptions about the City as it exists today in projecting the future development. (1) Existing uses in place will remain stable and viable for the most part into the future. (2) The Economic Development goals as stated in this report will continue to reflect the expressed desires of the majority of the citizens. (3) The existing and proposed transportation facilities, i.e., thoroughfares for the use of automobile traffic, will continue to be the primary mode of travel in the City. A balance of uses is proposed. The Land Use Plan assumes that the demand for low density, Single-Family property will continue to be the majority of the City's development activity. However, a sufficient amount of commercial, Industrial, and higher density residential (multi-family) areas 22 I Ie I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I I Ie I Dimensioned are proposed to satisfy the perceived economic development needs of the City as expressed in the earlier Economic Development discussion. The Land Use Plan also addresses the concerns of the disparity or non-compatibility of certain types of uses. Where possible the proposed use areas have been placed with the idea of providing separation or buffering between disparate uses. This Future Land Use Plan is intended to be used as a guide for future zoning and development decisions. The areas outlined in the Future Land Use Plan are not exact nor are they They cannot be identified as designating a specific parcel of land. The intent of the plan is to provide a general outline of each use type and to project the pattern of growth as it relates to the overall development pattern of the City. In the administration of the Plan it is not anticipated that the Commission and the City Council will undertake a comprehensive rezoning effort covering the entire city. Rather, as any development is proposed the Commission and the City Council will approve, disapprove, or modify those proposals based on their conformance or compatibility with the Land Use Plan. REDEVELOPMENT Within the City at the present time there are existing commercial and residential areas which are likely candidates for redevelopment. Primarily these areas are situated in older 23 , . I' ~ I I I I I I I ~ I I I I I I I f I sections of the City where circumstances of time, type of construction, and/or changing use patterns in the area create pressure for change. Redevelopment of these areas can occur in one of two possible ways. First, the existing structures can be renovated, remodeled, or reconstructed to current building codes for the proposed new use. Second, the existing structure may be totally demolished and a new structure raised to serve the new use. The redevelopment and/or re-use of these older existing areas represents good resource management of the City's assets and within the framework of the proposed Land Use Plan this type of re-use of existing resources will be encouraged. 3. TRANSPORTATION/THOROUGHFARES As stated earlier in this report one of the basic assumptions of the preparation of the Comprehensive Master Plan is that the individually-owned automobile will continue to be the dominant mode of transportation in the forseeable future of the City. Recognizing that fact the City Council commissioned the firm of PAWA-Winkleman and Associates to prepare a Master Thoroughfare Plan of the City. This Thoroughfare Plan is an outline of all of the major streets of the City, both existing and proposed. Included with the plan of the streets 24 I" ~ \ Ie I I I I I I I I- I I I I I I I Ie I is provided a functional classification system which will designate the size and type of street to be placed in each of the designated locations. The basic objective of the Thoroughfare Plan is to provide a complete circulation system throughout the City. This proposed plan must both dictate and respond to the elements of the Future Land Use Plan of the City. That is, the system must, by necessity, address both new developing areas of the City and the existing fully developed areas. In the approval of all new subdivisions the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council will utilize the Thoroughfare Plan to direct developers in the requirement for additional right-of-way on existing streets and the necessity for providing new streets on alignments as dictated by the Plan. The developer will be responsible for construction of the required streets in any instance where the street is wholly within the proposed subdi.vision, bounding the subdivision, or providing major access to the subdivision. The City Council, in order to encourage the construction of the needed thoroughfares on a timely basis will participate in the oversize costs of the Thoroughfares. It is the intent of the City Council and the Commission that, as much as is possible, the thoroughfare system will be constructed at the same time that development occurs in an area. 25 t . I" I ~ I The City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission also recognize the absolute necessity to upgrade and improve the existing thoroughfare system in fully developed areas. The I providing of and the improvement to Thoroughfares in developed areas will accomplish two purposes. First, in areas where I previous commercial developments have overloaded existing I systems traffic jams can be alleviated. Second, improvements in outdated and deteriorated streets which are functioning as I thoroughfares without the proper design capacities will improve the accessibility to existing neighborhoods and aid in I sustaining these neighborhoods as a viable part of the community. These type of improvements in existing areas I . require specific commitments of city funds, such as bond programs, and an aggressive approach in pursuing funding from other governmental sources such as the State Department of I Highways and Public Transportation, Tarrant County and/or the adjacent cities. I I Very little has been said in this report or in the text of the Master thoroughfare Plan regarding other alternative I transportation modes such as Mass Transit or Light Rail Transit. The City's Transportation Consultant and the City I Staff have stated that it is not feasible that the City of I North Richland Hills alone could support or maintain a public transit system. However, in light of recent activities in both I , Dallas and Tarrant Counties toward the creation of County-wide regional systems it would seem that the City has or will have the opportunity to participate with the larger cities in the I 26 I"' Ie I I I I I I I ~ I I I I I I I r I future planning of an overall system. Two major modes are currently being explored, the standard bus transit and a light rail transit system. Due to North Richland Hills strategic location between downtown Ft. Worth and D/PW Airport the City should avail itself of the opportunity to participate in the planning of any transit system or mode which would provide service to and/or through the City. 4. UTILITIES AND DRAINAGE Just as the Thoroughfare Plan provides the basic outline of the City by providing the transportation network, the Basic Utilities, water and sewer, dictate how the development of the City is to proceed. The City of North Richland Hills currently has an adequate network of both water and sewer facilities. However, to insure that the system will continue to perform with a high degree of reliability even at a full development level, the City has contracted for a Master Plan of both the Water and the Sewer systems of the City. The purpose for both plans is to designate areas of the City in which additional facilities will be needed to support the full development improvements which could possibility be built. It is on the basis of these documents that the City will work with the developers to install the major transmission, distribution, and collection facilities necessary to serve the overall city. It is the intent of City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission that in the review of every proposed development in the City the needs of the overall water and sewer system will 27 I' .. ~ I. I I I I I I I ~ I I I I I I I ~ I be addressed by requiring the developers to install the oversize mains called for in the Master Plans for both water and sewer. Under current subdivision criteria the city will participate in the oversize costs of those required systems. In addition, in fully developed areas the City will pursue an active improvement and upgrading of facilities program. The providing of proper utilities will enhance and support the maintenance of existing neighborhoods. This in turn will extend their useable life and keep them a viable part of the community. The City has also adopted a Drainage Master Plan for the entire City. This plan identifies all of the major drainage systems within the City and proposes a minimum design criteria for each major channel required to contain the 100 Year Frequency Flood. In addition, the minor systems which contribute the run-off to these channels have been investigated and minimum design criteria have been established for these systems. It is the intent of the City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission that the data and design parameters contained in the Master Drainage Plan be required as a minimum on all proposed developments within the City. The City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission also recognize the necessity for improvements to existing drainage systems within the established areas of the City. Accomplishing the improvements in these areas of the City will 28 I I .f' ~ I I I 5. HOUSING I I I I ~ I I I I I I I f I require specific commitment of funds by the City. The expectation is that priority issues will be developed for future bond programs. Additionally the City will investigate any alternatives available through other governmental agencies,such as the Corps of Engineers, for aid in funding these improvements. Currently the City has a good cross section of types of housing stock. Some concern has been expressed that in isolated areas there are pockets of very old (30 plus years) structures which cannot meet the existing codes and are deteriorating. The location and number of these units is not yet a major problem. However, the City cannot automatically assume that property owners and the marketplace needs of the City will always protect and/or replace existing housing stock. A vigorous active program of Code Enforcement is necessary to assure that older neighborhoods continue to be fully utilized. As stated earlier in this report some areas of the City will be under pressure to redevelop or convert housing units to other uses. While some conversion is appropriate, the wholesale conversion of established neighborhoods will be avoided. Any significant efforts toward major conversion must be evaluated in terms of its effect on the Land Use Plan of the City. The assumption that all new housing being constructed will be of such quality that it will assure long term value and permanent occupancy is not necessarily accurate. It is the 29 ~ I ~ I I I I I I I ~ I I I I I I I f I function of the City to ensure that specific controls are maintained and specific levels are met. The quality of housing construction will be in direct response to the level of enforcement which the City exercises over its adopted Building Codes. Some discussion has been raised regarding the relationship between minimum lot size and minimum house size to the long term quality of construction. While it is to be expected that a larger investment by a builder in both lot costs and required minimum house costs will produce a higher value unit, it is also true that this approach will produce less housing units in any given subdivision. Therefore, these units will be available to fewer people. Without the same level of required inspections as the smaller units no guarantee can be given that any significant improvement in the quality of construction can be expected. It is up to the City to strike a balance of housing types which will generate sufficient housing stock to support the cross section of population expected to reside within the City. 30 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ORDINANCE NO. 1350 &) WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission has held public hearings on the adoption of a Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map for the City of North Richland Hills; and WHEREAS, the City eouncil and the Planning and Zoning Commission have held a joint public hearing to receive suggestions and recommendations from the public on the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map for the City of North Richland Hills; and WHEREAS, after the public hearings the Planning and Zoning Commission has approved and recommended for adoption the Comprehensive Plan for the City of North Richland Hills, Texas (1986) and the Future Land Use Map of the City of North Richland Hills, Texas (1986).

Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated there was an existing 15 foot easement along the south line of the property. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated there was a possibility a drainage channel would be put there and asked how wide the easement would be. Mr. Stembridge stated the Master Drainage Plan called for a 20 to 30 foot concrete channel. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated that Mr. Stembridge would be required to erect a sight barring fence.

He said there is already enough Commercial on Davis Boulevard, plus the traffic is bad now and this would make it worse. Mr. Chaille said nothing has changed, the neighbors protest both requests and request the entire 15 acres be restricted to R-2, residential. He said R-3 will not be good enough, 7500 square foot lots instead of 9000 and 1400 square foot houses instead of 1600. Mr. CQaille read an article from the Star Telegram regarding problems in North Richland Hills. He said he felt this would be spot zoning.

The requested rezoning is from AG Agriculture to R-2 Single Family. The purpose for the requested rezoning is to allow for the development of the subject tract into single family lots in conformance with the R-2 Single Family District. The Thoroughfare Plan for this area designates John Autrey Road as a two lane undivided Collector Street. The applicants will be required to provide an additional dedication of right of way to allow for the development of the street in the required configuration. The Staff noted that the preliminary plat layout submitted with the rezoning request proposed that the street on this tract be an extension of Ridgeway Avenue south of John Autrey terminating in a cul-de-sac within the subject tract. This layout is not consistent with the previous approval given for the proposed Chasewood Subdivision north of this tract. A street was included in that plat which terminated at the north line of the applicant's tract which would have been extended through this property. RECOMMENDATION: _The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that Zoning Application PZ 86-1 requesting rezoning on Tract 5, Wm. D. Barnes Survey Abstract 146 from AG to R-2 be approved.

The property involved is located on the east side of Glenview Drive north of Diamond Loch Addition. The purpose for the proposed plat is to subdivide the tract into single family lots in conformance with the R-l Zoning District. The Staff had noted to the Commission that this same plat was submitted earlier for action. At that time the Commission had made two stipulations regarding the final plat. (1) The Drainage design submitted with the plat must meet the criteria of the Subdivision Ordinance. (2) The building set-back line shown on Glenview Drive be a minimum of 20 feet as required by the Zoning Ordinance. The current revision of the plat meets all the criteria of the Ordinance including the two stipulations. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning Commission approved the Final Plat of Royal Court Addition as submitted. _ , , Finance Review I Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.) _Operating Budget _ ~ (nk:e - epart t Head Signature I City Manager CITY COUNCIL ACTION ITEM Acct.

We would note, however, that due to the depth of cuts required to achieve the optimum flowline slope, erosion protection outside the limits of the drainage easement will probably be required, such as railroad ties, etc. Shoring of the existing fence along the south side of the drainage easement méY also be required due to the deep cuts. 2 As a general reminder, the Developer or Owner should be made aware that he is responsible for all provisions of the Subdivision Ordinance, Zoning Ordinance, Water and Sewer Policies and Procedures, and all other applicable City Development Codes unless specific discretionary variances and exceptions are made and agreed upon by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council, and covered in writing in the City-Developer Agreement, if this proposed plat is approved.

I spoke with Mr. Albin by telephone last week and discussed our proposed resolution to the drainage swale problem. He indicated that he was in concurrance with our proposed solution, i.e. concrete swale with an accompanying reduction in the required easement width. Would you please forward these to his office for review. Should these meet with his satisfaction, we are respectfully requesting to be placed on the earliest possible City Council agenda. Should you need additional information, please do not hesitate to call. Very truly yours, JOHN E. LEVITT ENGINEERS, INC. s. cc Mr. John L.

See attached Figure No. 1 which shows the off-site drainage area, prepared by the developer1s engineer, which was drawn on an aDO-scale N.C.T.C.O.G. contour map. Most of the off-site area shown on this map covers an area not developed at the time the contour map was drawn. Subsequent development has changed the topographic contours thus changing the off-site drainage area limits. Also the off-site drainage area limits are based on lO-foot contour intervals which is not very accurate. The total off-site drainage area based on this map is about 18 acres. Figure No.2 shows the off-site drainge area map which we have prepared from the City1s 20Q-scale, 2-foot contour, topo maps. The limits of the off-site drainage area at each street intersection were verified in the field. The off-site area which we compute totals about 34.9 acres, which is almost twice the size of the developer1s engineer1s off-site area. 2 The design discharge for the overland drainage swale, which the developer is proposing to leave unlined, totals 38.7 cfs for the IOO-year storm (not including the portion of the IOO-year discharge carried underground in the existing 3D-inch storm drain) based on the 18 acres off-site area. The required capacity of the swale based on the 34.9 acre off-site area totals about 105 csf, (see attached computer printouts). The channel top width required for an earthen channel based on the 105 cfs discharge is about 24 feet, which exceeds the proposed 2D-foot drainage easement width. A concrete lined channel designed to carry the 105 cfs discharge would measure about 13 feet at the top. As shown on the attached Figure No.3, the Subdivision Ordinance requires that the overland relief swale be concrete lined or lined with other materials approved by the Public Works Department. As shown on Figure No.4, an additional 40 feet of easement width is required if an earthen channel is approved for maintenance 1901 CENTRAL DR., SUITE 550 · BEDFORD, TEXAS 76021 · 817/283-6211 .. METRO/267-3367 I Ie I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I Ie I I Subdivision Review ~cter continued ( ROYAL COURT ADDITION access, or the developer shall provide a concrete channel access ramp for Public Works maintenance with no additional easement width required. If an earthen channel is approved, a concrete pilot is still required by Subdivision Ordinance. 3 We would note that the drainage channel calculations are based on the minimum flowline slope provided by the developer1s engineer. An increased flowline slope would reduce the channel size requirements for both earthen and concrete sections. 4 As a general reminder, the Developer or Owner should be made aware that he is responsible for all provisions of the Subdivision Ordinance, Zoning Ordinance, Water and Sewer Policies and Procedures, and all other applicable City Development Codes unless specific discretionary variances and exceptions are made and agreed upon by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council, and covered in writing in the City-Developer Agreement, if this proposed plat is approved.

Please refer to our letter dated October 2, 1985 concerning the points mentioned. It is the Developer's intention that these items be brought before the City Council for consideration. 2. This subdivision was originally reviewed in October, 1985. The Master Thoroughfare Plan was approved by the City Council in August, 1985. The Developer feels that this question should have been addressed prior to this point in the review process, and is requesting that the right-of-way width of eighty feet (801) be accepted as submitted. 3. As the Developer has no control over the location of the individual driveways, we feel that fewer conflicts will be encountered with the water services installed near the lot lines. 4.

The drainage swale shown upon the plans has been proposed to alleviate any potential future problems concerning over flow drainage for the existing thirty inch (3011) reinforceed concrete pipe. To require an additional concrete swale over the existing pipe would be such a financial incumberance upon the Developer that project would become financially unfeasible. The original construction plans for this section of storm drain should have made allowances for the amount of run-off overflow. 6. Property corner monumentation will be noted on the Final Plat. 7. The existing zoning has been added to the Plat. 8. The distances will be added to the Final Plat prior to sUbmittal for final approval. 9.

The Owner's telephone number has been added to the plat. 2. The Surveyor's certification has been added to the plat. 3. The building setback has been increased to 26-feet on the plat which now makes the lot width 65-feet at the building setback. 4.1. The Rufe Snow Drive right-af-way width has been added to the plat. 4.2. The additional 25-feet as requested on the preliminary plat approval has been dedicated, making 55-feet from the center line on the east side and 40-feet on the west side. 4.3. This 'item. is a recommendation. to the Commission, Council and Staff on which we have no additional comment. 5. The 'alignment of John Autrey Road was discussed when the preliminary plat'was approved and Greenleaf Drive is to remain 50-feet in width and a residential street. 6. Our plan shows Crosstimber Lane to have a pavement thichness of 6-inches. As discussed at preliminary plat, Greenleaf Drive is to have a pavement thichness of 5-inches as standard. Rufe Snow, as construct~d to the west and to the south of this platting, has a thickness of 6-inches. There appears to be some transition pro- blems with 8-inch thickness in this area and a future overlay of 2-;nches to the west and to the south. We will discuss this with the Public Works Director when he returns. 1615 Precinct Line Road - Suite 106 / Hurst, Texas 76053 / Phone (817) 281-8121 I Ie I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I I Ie I ..

The developer is dedicating 25 feet on the east side for future widening. Additional dedication on the West (Watauga) side will be required if the future M6D street is centered in the right-of-way. If all widening is to be accomplished on the east side then the dedication should be increased as required to provide a total lID-foot right-of-way. 4.3 We would recommend that you communicate with the Watauga Planning Commission, Council and staff to coordinate plans for future widening of Rufe Snow in accordance with the North Richland Hills Thoroughfare Plan. If Watauga does not wish to participate in future widening or in assistance in obtaining additional right-of-way then North Richland Hills property owners along Rufe Snow on the east side north of the St. Louis Southwestern Railroad to Bursey Road will have to provide all the additional right-of-way required. 5 Please see our letter dated October 1, 1985, PS 85-74, regarding John Autrey Road's future alignment. Valley View Drive has been renamed Greenleaf Drive. Also, see our comments regarding prorata. 6 We would recommend that the pavement thickness of Crosstimber Lane and Greenleaf Drive (if Greenleaf is designated a C2U section) be increased from 5-inches to at least 6-inches. Also, we we would recommend that the proposed thickness on Rufe Snow Drive be increased from 6-inches on 6-inch lime stabilized subgrade to 8-inches HMAC on 8-inches stabilized subgrade (about 40 lb/sy lime based on 6-percent for 110 lb/cy soil weight). If the Public Works Department concurs then the details on sheet no. 42 should be revised accordingly. 7 As a general reminder, the Developer or Owner should be made aware that he is responsible for all provisions of the Subdivision Ordinance, Zoning Ordinance, Water and Sewer Policies and Procedures, and all other applicable City Development Codes unless specific discretionary variances and exceptions are made and agreed upon by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council, and covered in writing in the City-Developer Agreement, if thi s proposed pl at is approved.

We would note that Rufe Snow is designated as a future M6D Thoroughfare with a lID-foot right-of-way width. The existing right-of-way appears to be aD-feet. Therefore, at least 15 additional feet of right-of-way dedication is required assuming that the other 15 feet can be obtained from the City of Watauga as required for future widening to an M6D section. '7 The Thoroughfare Master Plan designates Meadowview Terrace as a proposed C2U with a 60-foot right-of-way from Starnes to Bursey Road. Do you want to replace Meadowview Terrace with Crosstimber Lane? The Thoroughfare Master Plan also shows the future alignment of John Autrey Road, a proposed C2U collector, to pass through along the south of this development to Meadowview Terrace.' If Valley View Drive replaces John Autrey Road as an east-west C2U collector connection to the north-south C2U collector, Crosstimber Lane, then the Valley View Drive right-of-way should be increased to 60-feet. 1901 CENTRAL DR., SUITE 550 · BEDFORD, TEXAS 76021 . 817/283-6211 .

The proposed location of Highland Oaks Drive in this development is aligned with the proposed section in the Highland Oaks Addition. We would note that in our Review Letter for Highland Oaks Addition, PS 85-57, dated August 9, 1985, in Item No. 13, we indicated that Highland Oaks Drive appeared to be located in the general vicinity required for an extension of Meadowview Terrace, and that this street should be upgraded to a C2U collector as shown in the Thoroughfare Master Plan. If Crosstimber Lane replaces Meadowview Terrace as this C2U collector then Highland Oaks Drive would not require widening. We would recommend that the owners of the Tract located north of Crosstimber Lane, Bursey Joint Venture, be advised that Crosstimber Lane, a C2U collector is planned to be extended northward through their property to Bursey Road, if Crosstimber is selected as the main C2U collector in the area instead of Meadowview Terrace. 9 The water lines in Redbud Drive (between Crosstimber Lane and Park Willow Lane), Crosstimber Lane and Park Willow Lane should be increased from 6-inches to 8-inches. 10 The sanitary sewer lines in Sunny View lane, Timber Hill Drive, and Valley View Drive should be extended east to Douglas Lane. 11 Water and sewer services and sizes should be shown on the utility layout plans. 12 The owner should be required to pay his prorata share of an existing 16-inch water line in Rufe Snow Drive. We would estimate prorata at $5.50 per linear foot for one-half of an 8-inch line for a total length of 1021.49 feet. 13 The developer should also p~his prorata sháre of the existing 6-inch water line in Douglas lane. We would estimate prorata at $4.00 per linear foot for one half of the existing line for a total length of 1,318.81 feet. 14 The developer should be required to pay his share of the cost of paving Rufe Snow Drive, if he has not already done so. 15 The owner should be required to escrow his prorata share of future street improvements on Douglas lane or construct any required paving improvements along the frontage of his property at this time. 16 As a general reminder, the Developer or Owner should be made aware that he is responsible for all provisions of the Subdivision Ordinance, Zoning Ordinance, Water and Sewer Policies and Procedures, and all other applicable City Development Codes unless specific discretionary variances and exceptions are made and agreed upon by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council, and covered in writing in the City-Developer October 1, 1985 PS 85 - 74 PAGE 2 I Ie I I I I I I I P I I I I I I ~ I I c- c- Subdivision Review Letter continued FOSTER VILLAGE ADDITION Agreement, if this proposed plat is approved.

I I I I I CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Planning and Development Department: 3/24/86 Council Meeting Date: Agenda Number: SO 86-5 Subject: Request for Variance to the Sign Ordinance for Northwood Plaza Shopping Center Cambridge Company, Inc., the owners of the Northwood Plaza Shopping Center located on the northeast corner of Rufe Snow Drive and Loop 820 Service Road has requested the City Council to consider a variance to Section 4.1 of the Sign Ordinance which stipulates that anyone development is to be limited to one ground sign. The applicant is requesting that they be allowed to place a sign on the Rufe Snow frontage of their shopping center and a second sign on the Loop 820 frontage of their project. In Section 4.1 of the Ordinance it is also stated that in the case of a large shopping center site located so as to have substantial frontage on two streets the City Council may consider approval of a Ground Sign on each frontage. The Staff has noted that the applicant's property includes 613 feet of frontage on Rufe Snow Drive and 672 feet of frontage on the Freeway Service Road. The sign layout submitted would place one of the proposed signs at the northern driveway of the Rufe Snow frontage and the second sign at the eastern drive entrance of the Wal-Mart site. The proposed signs are identical and are approximately 170 square feet in size. RECOMMENDATION: It is Staff's opinion that the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Sign Ordinance stipulating the conditions under which more than one Ground Sign can be approved for a major shopping center have been met on the Northwood Plaza Shopping Center and the City Council may wish to approve the request for the two signs.

Due to the enormous size of this project; Phase I consisting of 46,983 square feet of retail space and a 46,000 square foot Hinyards Grocery Store and Phase II consisting of 47,356 square feet of retail space plus an 83,491 square foot Wal-Mart store, 8,800 square foot Eckerds store, 22,000 square foot Advanced Self Serve Car Wash and an additional 94,434 square feet of Future Restaurant Pads all situated on approximately 19.655 acres, we feel the need for two pylon signs is justified. We would like to install one of the signs along Rufe Snow Drive which would serve Phase I and one sign along the access road of Northeast Loop 820 which would serve Phase II.

In order to clarify and to conform with the current State Laws the attached Ordinance Revision was drafted by the City Attorney and the Planning Director. The changes proposed are as follows: ZONING ORDINANCE SECTION 28.4 This section previously stated the method of notices required for holding a public hearing before the Planning and Zoning Commission including the timing required, method of notice determination and measurement procedure. The proposed revision would require the public hearing but leave the method of notice procedure to be determined by the State Enabling Statute. This would preclude the City having one procedure written in its Ordinance and the legislature requiring a different procedure by a change in the State Statute. SECTION 28.6 This section stated that "all" cases receiving a final report would be sent to the City Council. The City Council's policy has been only those changes which were recommended for approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission would automatically be heard by the City Council. The proposed revision would state a time and method for an applicant to appeal the denial of the Planning and Zoning Commission to the City Council. SECTION 28.9 This section details the public hearing notice process for the City Council. The proposed revision would eliminate the requirement for duplicating the publishing of the Ordinance changing the Zoning. Finance Review Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)

CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS . CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: Personnel Council Meeting Date: 3/24/86 _ubject: Ordinance Adopting Section 207(k) of the Fair Labor Agenda Number: GN 86-20 Standards Act. Ordinance No. 1355 The City is required to be in compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act by April 15, 1986. The initial compliance date of October 15, 1985 was changed by Congressional action last November. The Act generally states that employees shall receive overtime pay for hours worked in excess of (40) hours per work week. However, Section 207(k) of the Act allows firefighters to work (53) hours per week before overtime is earned provided the City adopts this section of the Act. Since our firefighters work an average of (56) hours per week, the adoption of Section 207(k) will minimize the City's cost to comply with the Act. Recommendation It is recommended that the City Council approve Ordinance No. 1355 adopting Section 207(k) of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Finance Review Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)

In preparing this report our efforts were concentrated in various areas attempting to conform to the principles and standards of public financial reporting as recommended by the Government Finance Officers Association and the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). Our intention is to continue to comply with the guidelines as promulgated by the GASB. In our opinion, this report is in compliance with all guidelines and restatement publications and is qualified to be adjudged in conformance. I I I This report contains balance sheets and statements reflecting revenues, expenses/expenditures, investments, fixed assets and bonded indebtedness in the fund classifications used by the City of North Richland Hills. Additionally, this report contains a statistical section presenting a variety of statistical information and financial indices for the past ten fiscal periods. Certain financial tables that appear throughout this report have been consolidated and/or duplicated in this letter to provide continuity and ready reference to the reader. I I THE REPORTING ENTITY AND ITS SERVICES I This report includes all of the funds and account groups of the City. It includes all activities over which the City Council exercises oversight responsibility. I Elementary and Secondary education services within the City are provided by the Birdville Independent School District. The City Council has no oversight responsibility over the District and, accordingly, financial data for the District are not included in the combined financial statements in this report. I I The City provides the full range of municipal services contemplated by statute or charter. This includes public safety (police and fire), sanitation, health, culture, recreation, public improvements, planning and zoning, and general administrative services. I I (817) 281-0041/7301 N.E. lOOP 820/P.O. BOX 18609/NORTH RICHlAND HillS, TX 76118 VI FUND STRUCTURE The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds or account groups, each of which is considered to be a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts which comprise its assets, liabilities, retained earnings/fund balance, revenues and expenses/expenditures. The various funds are grouped by type in the financial statements. The various funds and account groups presented in this report were created under the authority of the charter of the City of North Richland Hills, Texas, as amended up to and including September 30, 1985, and, additionally, by the authority of the State of Texas as outlined in Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes. A description of the funds used by the City and their purpose and the basis of accounting for transactions can be found in Note ] of the Notes to Combined Financial Statements. ACCOUNTING SYSTEM AND BUDGETARY CONTROL The City's accounting records for the Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund are maintained on an accrual basis whereby revenues and expenses are recorded in the accounting period in which they are earned or incurred. The remainder of the City's funds are maintained on the modified accrual basis whereby revenue is recorded when measurable and available and expenditures are recorded when the liability is incurred except for interest on general long-term debt. One of the objectives of the City's financial accounting system is to provide adequate internal controls. Internal controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance regarding the safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized use or disposition and the reliability of financial records for preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and the evaluation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgment by management. We believe that the City's internal controls adequately safeguard assets and provide reasonable assurance of proper recording of financial transactions. Budgetary control is accomplished by the adoption of an annual operating budget for the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds and Debt Service Fund. Detail control is accomplished by maintaining appropriations, encumbrances and expended balances by line item account within each operating department within each operating fund. Purchase orders or payments that would result in an over- expenditure of a line item account are not processed without the approval of the City Manager. GENERAL FUND Revenues earned by the General Fund totaled $7,431,081 in ]985, an increase of 6% from ]984. The increase in revenues is attributable primarily to a larger tax base, increased sales tax revenues, and increased building permit revenues. Total tax revenues which include property tax, city sales tax, mixed beverage tax, and franchise taxes, increased 9.25% over 1984. Taxes produced 8]% of total revenues in 1985 compared to 78.9% of total revenues in 1984. VII I I I I I I I The amount of revenues from various sources and the increase over last year are shown in the following tabulation: Increase Percent (decrease) Revenue Source Amount of Total from 1984 Taxes $ 6,022,045 81 .0% $ 509,954 Licenses and permits 703,490 9.5 109,542 Intergovernmental (18,689) Charges for services 196,553 2.6 25,827 Fines 175,946 2.4 ( 1 ,538) Miscellaneous 333,047 4.5 (183,125) Total $ 7 .431 .081 100.0% $ 441.971 The basic growth indicator of the City is the building permit values for the fiscal years. The following tabulation reflects the building permit values by classification for the past three years. I I I I I I I I 1985 1984 1983 Value Value Value Classification (OOO's) Number (ODD's) Number (OOO's) Number Residential $ 4 7 , 960 566 $ 49,230 630 $ 36,802 518 Duplex 12,968 130 8,482 99 6,911 103 Apartments 11 ,320 9 17,511 31 31 ,025 9 Commercial 37,803 186 22,775 176 24,899 138 Miscellaneous 2,468 209 2,480 212 3,502 214 Totals $ 112.519 1 . ] 00 $ 100.478 1 . 148 $ 103.139 m Assessed property tax valuations of approximately $1,033,000,000 represented a 49.6% increase over 1984. The significant increases are due to tremendous growth and the reappraisal of all properties by Tarrant Appraisal District. General Fund expenditures were $7,633,168, a 28.8% increase over 1984. The following tabulation reflects these expenditures compared to the original budget appropriations by categories of operations. I I I I Function Budget Actual General government $ 1,938,028 1,962,262 Public safety 3,843,777 3,795,084 Culture and recreation 688,025 657 , 180 Public works 1,204,037 1 ,218,642 Total expenditures $ 7.673.867 7.633.168 Variance - Favorable (24,234) 48,693 30,845 (14,605) 40.699 VIII General Fund's equity at September 30, 1985 was $1,776,644, a $672,087 decrease from September 30, 1984. The decrease is due primarily to a transfer of monies (approved by City Council in June 1985) to the Capital Projects Fund to partially finance a new municipal complex. DEBT ADMINISTRATION General obligation bonds, which are directly tax supported, totaled $9,130,000 at September 30, 1985. The ratio of net bonded debt to assessed valuation and net bonded debt per capita are useful indicators of the City's debt position to municipal management, citizens, and investors. These data for the City at September 30, 1985 were as follows: Ratio of Net Net Bonded Net Bonded Bonded Debt to Debt per Debt Assessed Value Capita $ 7..069..767 ~ 193.69 Revenue bonds, which are secured by the net revenues of the Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund, totaled $14,410,000 at September 30, 1985. Revenue bond coverage (i.e., net revenues available for debt service divided by debt service requirements) for 1985 was 2.75. The City's bonds are currently rated by Moody's Investor Services and Stan- dard & Poor's as follows: Moody's Standard & Poor's General Obligation Bonds Revenue Bonds "A" "A+ " "A+" "A" CASH MANAGEMENT The City has designated Interfirst Bank Richland N.A. in North Richland Hills as the City depository on the basis of a bid to pay interest on idle funds at a variable (floating) rate as related to either the 13-week or 26-week Treasury Bill Coupon Equivalent Rate, whichever is greater. The average yield on investments was 8.8% for 1985, as compared to 10.23% for 1984. EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM The City participates in the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS), an agency operated by the State of Texas. Employees of local governmental entities who participate in TMRS contribute a fixed percentage of their gross pay, currently 5%. For 1985, the City contributed to employees' retirement at a rate of ]-1/2 to 1, which required a 3% contribution by the City. TMRS participants are immediately vested in those funds they contribute plus allocated earnings thereon. Participants are vested in the remainder of their account (i.e., employer contributions plus allocated earnings thereon) after ten years of credited participation. If participants withdraw from TMRS prior to ten years of credited participation, they may withdraw from TMRS those funds they contributed plus earnings thereon, but forfeit their employers' contributions and related earnings. Each employer's contribution for current requirements is offset by the amount of such forfeitures. City contributions for 1985 were made by the General Fund ($147,000) and the Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund ($31,000). IX I I CAPITAL PROJECTS FUNDS I Proceeds from general obligation bonds are accounted for in Capital Pro- jects Funds until the related construction projects are completed. Completed pro- jects and construction in progress at year end are capitalized in the General Fixed Assets Account Group. During ]985, projects costing $1,643,000 were completed. Projects which were not complete at September 30, 1985 totaled $1,803,911. I Capital Projects Funds assets at September 30, 1985 consisted primarily of $6,974,644 in cash and investments. I I GENERAL FIXED ASSETS I The general fixed assets of the City are those fixed assets used to pro- vide services of governmental functions and exclude fixed assets of the Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund. As of September 30, 1985, general fixed assets amounted to $24,257,844. This amount represents the actual cost ~f these assets regardless of date of purchase or current value. Current value of these assets is estimated to be considerably more than the recorded costs. Depreciation of general fixed assets is not recognized in the City's ac- counting system. I WATER AND SEWER ENTERPRISE FUND I The City's Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund continued to grow in size and number of customers as a direct result of the large amount of building activity during 1985. The number of water customers increased from 16,693 in 1984 to ]7,943 in 1985. The total amount of water sold during 1985 was approximately 365 million cubic feet (297 million in 1984). For the past ten fiscal years, the coverage factor for the Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds has exceeded 1.8. The following tabulation for the previous three years reflects the stability of the utility system: I I I 1985 1984 1983 Gross revenues $ 9,612,202 8,854,2]8 7,335,616 Operating expenses (excluding depreciation) 5,423,482 4,482,779 3,672,160 Net revenue available for debt service $ 4 . 188 .720 4.371.439 3.663.456 Annual debt service $ 1.523.243 1.293.925 1.031.264 Coverage 1.:12. ~ l:1l INDEPENDENT AUDIT I I I I I The City Charter requires an annual audit of the books of accounts, financial records, and transactions of all administrative departments of the City by independent certified public accountants selected by the City Council. This requirement has been complied with and the auditors' report has been included in this report. I I x CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMANCE The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Conformance in Financial Reporting to the City of North Richland Hills, Texas for its comprehensive annual financial report for the year ended September 30, ]984. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Conformance, a governmental unit must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual financial report, whose contents conform to program standards. Such reports must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements. A Certificate of Conformance is valid for a period of one·year only. We believe our current report continues to conform to Certificate of Conformance Program requirements, and we are submitting it to GFOA to determine its eligi- bility for another certificate. PROSPECTS FOR FUTURE YEARS The Ci ty is experiencing rapid growth in both resi.dential and commercial de- velopment. To meet these needs for street, drainage, public safety, and recre- ational/cultural improvements, the City Council and Staff put together a major five year capital improvement program. The capital improvement program consists primarily of street improvements, flood control projects, public safety facilities and a li- brary/recreation center. During September ]985, the citizens of North Richland Hills overwhelmingly approved bond propositions totaling $40,000,000 despite the prospect of property taxes increasing as much as $.05 per $100 assessed value over the next five years. The City's recent rapid growth has generated a larger property tax base that has had a major impact on other revenue sources of the City, primarily sales taxes. Recent construction in the City such as expansion of the North Hills Mall, opening of a Walmart store, and completion of a significant apartment complex, along with re- vision of the state sales tax law to include more services and products, indicate that sales and property taxes should continue to increase for several years. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The preparation of this report could not be accomplished on a timely basis without the efficient and dedicated endeavors of the entire staff of the Finance Department and our independent auditors. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all employees who contributed to the preparation. Additionally, I would also like to thank the Mayor, City Council, and the City Manager for their support in planning and conducting the financial operations of the City in a responsible and progressive manner.

Our ~xamination was made in accordance with gen- erally accepted auditing standards and, accordingly, included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered neces- sary in the circumstances. I I I In our opinion, the aforementioned combined financial statements present fairly the financial position of the City of North Richland Hills, Texas at September 30, 19~5 and the results of its operations and the changes in financial position of its proprietary fund type for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year. I I Our examination was made for the purpose of forming an oplnlon on the combined financial statements taken as a whole. The combining, individual fund, and ac- count group financial statements and schedules listed in the table of contents are presented for purposes of additional analysis, they are not a required part of the combined financial statements of the City of ~orth Richland Hills, Texas and, accordingly, our opinion does not relate to the fairness of presentation of the financial position and results of operation or such funds. This infor- mation has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the examination of the combined financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the combined financial statements taken as a whole.

The City operates under a Council- Manager form of government. The combined financial statements of the City include all government activi- ties, organizations, and functions for which the City exercises oversight responsibility. Oversight responsibility is derived from a governmental unit's power and includes, but is not limited to: financial interdependency, selection of governing authority, designation of management, ability to sig- nificantly influence operations and accountability for fiscal matters. These criteria are consistent with those set forth in National Council on Gov- ernmental Accounting Statement No.3, "Defining the Governmental Reporting Entity", and Interpretation No.7, thereof. The City's major operations include police and fire protection, parks, library and recreation, public works and general and administrative services. .In addition, the City owns and operates a water and sewer system. The following entities are not in- cluded in the combined financial statements because they do not meet any of the above criteria: Birdville and Keller Independent School Districts - provide educa- tion services; Tarrant County Junior College - provides education services; Tarrant County Hospital District and private institutions - provides health care and hospital services; and Texas Municipal Retirement System - provides retirement benefits to City employees (note 6). The accounting policies of the City of North Richland Hills, Texas conform to generally accepted accounting principles as applicable to governmental units. The following is a summary of the more significant of such policies: (a) Basis of Presentation - Fund Accounting The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds or account groups, each of which is considered to be a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts which com- prise its assets, liabilities, retained earnings/fund balance, revenues and expenses/expenditures. The various funds are grouped by type in the combined financial statements. The following fund types and account groups are used by the City: (Continued) 1 2 I CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS I Notes to Combined Financial Statements I GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPES I I Governmental Funds are those through which most governmental functions of the City are financed. The acquisition, use, and balances of the City's expendable financial resources and the related liabilities (except those accounted for in the proprietary fund type) are accounted for through govern- mental funds. The measurement focus is upon determination of changes in financial position, rather than upon net income determination. The following are the City's gov~rnmental funds: I I General Fund - The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund. I Special Revenue Funds - Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes. I Debt Service Fund - The Debt Service Fund is used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of, general long-term debt principal, interest, and related costs. I I Capital Projects Funds - Capital Projects Funds are used to ac- count for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities (other than those fi- nanced by the proprietary fund type). Financing is provided primarily by the sale of general obligation bonds. Certain projects are partially financed by special assessments. I PROPRIETARY FUND TYPE I Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund - The Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund is used to account for operations (a) that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises - where the intent of the governing body is that the costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges; or (b) where the governing body has decided that periodic determination of revenues earned, ex- penses incurred, and/or net income is appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy, management control, accountability, or other purposes. I I I ACCOUNT GROUPS I Account groups are used to establish accounting control and ac- countability for the City's general fixed assets and general long-term debt. The following are the City's account groups: I (Continued) I 13 CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS Notes to Combined Financial Statements General Fixed Assets Account Group - This account group is established to account for all fixed assets of the City, other than those accounted for in the proprietary fund type. General Long-Term Debt Account Group - This account group is established to account for all long-term debt of the City except that accounted for in the proprietary fund type. (b) Basis of Accounting The modified accrual basis of accounting is followed by the govern- mental fund types. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when susceptible to accrual, i.e., both measurable and available. Available means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabil- ities of the current period. Expenditures, other than interest on general long-term debt are recorded when the liability is incurred, if measurable. Interest on general long-term debt is recorded when due. In applying the susceptible to accrual concept to intergovernmental revenues, the legal and contractual requirements of the individual programs are used as guidance. There are essentially two types of these revenues. In one, monies must be expended on the specific purpose or project before any amounts will be paid to the City; therefore, revenues are recognized based upon the expenditures recorded. In the other, monies are virtually unrestricted as to purpose of expenditure and nearly irrevocable, i.e., revocable only for failure to comply with prescribed compliance requirements. These resources are reflected as revenues at the time of receipt or earlier if the susceptible to accrual criteria are met. Property tax, sales tax, developer contribution and special assessment revenues are recognized under the susceptible to accrual concept. Franchise taxes, licenses and permits, charges for services, fines, and miscellaneous revenues (except earnings on investments) are recorded as revenues when received in cash because they are gener- ally not measurable until actually received. Investment earnings are recorded as earned since they are measurable and available. The accrual basis of accounting is utilized by the proprietary fund type. (c) Budgetary Data The City Council follows these procedures in establishing budgetary data reflected in the financial statements: (1) Prior to September 1, the City Manager submits to the City Council a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following October 1. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. (Continued) 14 I CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS I Notes to Combined Financial Statements I (2) Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayers comments. I (3) Prior to September 30, the budget is legally enacted through passage of an ordinance. I (4) The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between departments within any fund; however, any revisions that alter the total expenditures of any fund must be ap- proved by the City Council, after public hearings. I I (5) Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year for the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds and Debt Service Fund. Budgetary control is maintained at the function level. I (6) Budgets for the General, Special Revenue, and Debt Service Funds are adopted on a basis consistent with generally ac- cepted accounting principles. Budgeted amounts are as originally adopted by the City Council on August 27, ]984 for the 1984-]985 budget. There were no individual amendments to the original appropriations. Such appropria- tions lapse at year end. 1 1 (7) Budgetary data for the Capital Projects Funds have not been presented in the accompanying combined financial statements as such funds are budgeted over the life of the respective project and not on an annual basis. Accordingly, formal budgetary integration of the Capital Projects Funds is not employed and comparison of actual results of operations to budgetary data for such funds is not presented. 1 I· (d) Encumbrances 1 Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments for the expenditure of funds are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation, is employed in governmental funds. Encumbrances are reported as re- servations of fund balances because they do not constitute expendi- tures or liabilities. 1 I (e) Cash and Investments 1 Substantially all operating cash and investments are maintained in consolidated cash and investment accounts. Interest income re- lating to consolidated investments is allocated to the individual funds monthly based on the fund's pro rata share of total consoli- dated cash and investments. Consolidated investments, principally certificates of deposit, are stated at cost, which approximates market. I I (Continued) I ]5 CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS Notes to Combined Financial Statements (f) Inventories Inventories in the Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. (g) Property, Plant and Equipment - Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund Property, plant and equipment owned by the Water and Sewer Enter- prise Fund is stated at cost or estimated fair market value at the date contributed. Depreciation has been provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows: Building and improvements Utility plant in service Machinery and equipment 30 years 33 50 years 3 - 10 years Capitalization of interest related to assets constructed by the Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund during the year ended September 30, 1985 was not material and, therefore, was not recorded in the accompanying com- bined financial statements. (h) General Fixed Assets General fixed assets have been acquired for general governmental purposes. Assets purchased are recorded as expenditures in the General Fund, Capital Projects Funds, or Special Revenue Funds, and capitalized at cost in the General Fixed Assets Account Group. In the case of gifts or contributions, such assets are recorded in the General Fixed Assets Account Group at estimated fair market value at the time received. Generally, fixed assets contributed by subdividers or other con- tractors consisting of certain improvements other than buildings, including roads, bridges, curbs and gutters, streets and sidewalks, drainage systems, and lighting systems, have not been capitalized. Such assets normally are immovable and of value only to the City; therefore, the purpose of stewardship for these items is satisfied without recording these assets. No depreciation has been provided on general fixed assets, and no interest has been capitalized. (i) Deferred Charges - Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund Deferred charges consist of expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of certain outstanding revenue bonds. Such charges are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the re- spective bonds. (Continued) 16 I CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS I Notes to Combined Financial Statements I (j) Vacation and Sick Pay I City employees are granted vacation and sick pay in varying amounts. In the event of termination, an employee is reimbursed for all ac- cumulated unused vacation. No reimbursement is made for accumu- lated unused sick leave upon termination of employment. I I I General Fund vacation pay is accrued as vested. The current portion ($183,283) of this liability at September 30, 1985 is included in General Fund accrued liabilities in the accompanying combined balance sheet. The long-term portion ($57,399) is included in the General Long-term Debt Account Group. General Fund sick pay is recorded when paid. I Vacation pay is accrued as vested in the Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund. Accumulated unpaid vested vacation pay at September 30, 1985 for the Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund (approximately $42,000) is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying combined balance sheet. Sick pay is recorded when paid. I (k) Reserves I Retained earnings have been reserved for the excess of restricted assets over related liabilities except for the Revenue Bond Con- struction accounts which do not require a reservation of retained earnings. I (1) Transactions between Funds I Residual equity transfers between funds are reported as changes to fund balances of governmental funds and contributed capital of the proprietary fund. All other transfers between funds are treated as operating transfers and are included in the results of operations of both governmental and proprietary funds. I (m) Unbilled Charges I Unbilled utility service charges of the Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund at year end are estimated and recorded as receivables, net of estimated uncollectibles. I (n) Comparative Data I Comparative data for the prior year have been presented in the accom- panying combined financial statements in order to provide an under- standing of changes in the City's financial position and operations. However, complete comparative data (i.e., presentation of prior year totals by fund type in each of the statements) have not been presented since their inclusion would make the statements unduly complex and difficult to read. Certain comparative data have been reclassified to conform to the 1985 presentation. I I I (Continued) 1 7 CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS Notes to Combined Financial Statements (0) Total Columns on Combined Statements Total columns on the Combined Statements are captioned "Memorandum Only" to indicate that they are presented only to facilitate fi- nancial analysis. Data in these columns do not present financial position, results of operations, or changes in financial position in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Neither is such data comparable to a consolidation. Interfund eliminations have not been made in the aggregation of this data. (2) Property Tax The City's property tax is levied each October 1 on the assessed value listed as of the prior January 1 for all real property and certain personal property located in the City. The assessed value, net of exemptions, upon which the fiscal 1985 levy was based was approxi- mately $1,033,000,000. Property taxes are limited by the Texas Constitution to $2.50 per $100 of assessed valuation and by City Charter to $1.50 per $100 valuation. The combined tax rate to finance general governmental service and debt service for the year ended September 30, 1985 was $.345 per $100 of assessed valuation. Property taxes attach as an enforceable lien on property as of January ] following the levy date. Taxes are due by January 31 following the levy date. Current tax collections for the year ended September 30, 1985 were 97.3% of the tax levy. Property taxes receivable at Sep- tember 30, 1985 were $180,033. Property taxes levied for ]985 are recorded as receivables, net of esti- mated uncollectibles. The net receivables collected during 1985 and those considered "available" at September 30, 1985 (i.e., property taxes collected within 60 days of year end) are recognized as revenues in ]985. Prior year levies are recorded using these same principles. The remaining receivables are reflected as deferred revenue. The appraisal of property within the City is the responsibility of a county-wide Appraisal District as required by legislation passed by the Texas Legislature. The Appraisal District is required under such legislation to assess all property within the Appraisal District on the basis of 100% of its appraised value and is prohibited from applying any assessment ratios. The value of property within the Appraisal District must be reviewed every five years; however, the City may, at its own expense, require annual reviews of appraised values. The City may challenge appraised values established by the Appraisal District through various appeals and, if necessary, legal action. (Continued) 18 I CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS I Notes to Combined Financial Statements I (3) Special Assessments Certain street and drainage construction projects are financed partially by special assessments. Such projects are recorded in the Capital Pro- jects Funds because they benefit the entire community and are financed primarily by general obligation bond proceeds. Special assessments are levied against properties deemed to be specially benefited by the improve- ments. Costs of the projects are estimated and property owners are charged a proportionate share. I I I Special assessments are recognized as revenue when they become measurable and available (i.e., estimated to be collected within one year). Assess- ments which are not "available" at September 30, 1985 of $144,052 are re- flected as deferred revenue in the Capital Projects Funds.

The gross revenues of the waterworks and sewer system, after deduction of reasonable expenses of operations and maintenance, are pledged to such funds in amounts equal to the total annual principal and interest requirements of the bonds and amounts required to maintain the Reserve Fund. At September 30, 1985, the Reserve Fund assets were approximately $7,000 less than the amount required by the ordinances due to the is- suance of additional bonds in 1984. The ordinances require that such deficits be funded in equal instalments over a sixty-month period. (Continued) 22 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS Notes to Combined Financial Statements (6) Employees' Retirement System The City participates in the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS) which is a state-wide defined contribution (money-purchase) pension plan covering substantially all full-time employees. The employees' contribution rate is 5% of their gross earnings which is matched by a 3% contribution by the City. There are no benefits guaranteed under this plan other than to the extent provided by employee and employer contributions, plus earnings, accumulated in individual accounts of employees. Total City contributions amounted to approximately $178,000 for the year ended September 30, 1985. The City's contributions were made by the General Fund ($]47,000) and Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund ($31,000). The City has no further liability to TMRS for benefits under this plan. Control over the operation and administration of the plan is vested with the State of Texas along with custody of plan assets. (7) Water and Sewer Contracts The City has several individual contracts with the City of Fort Worth (Fort Worth) and the Trinity River Authority of Texas (TRA) for the purchase of treated water and for the transportation, treatment and disposal of sanitary sewage and other waste. The initial terms of the contracts range from twenty-five to fifty years and expire at various dates from 1994 through 2023. While the provisions of each of the contracts vary, each contract basically requires the City to pay varying amounts based on the costs associated with water purchased and sewage transported and/or treated and disposed of. The cost includes the City's proportionate share of Fort Worth's and TRA's operating and maintenance expenses, related debt service costs plus certain other mis- cellaneous charges. Purchases of treated water and charges for the trans- portation, treatment and disposal of sewage and other wastes during 1985 amounted to approximately $2,317,000 and $1,390,000, respectively. (8) Operating Transfers The General Fund provides certain general and administrative services to the Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund. The estimated pro rata share of the costs is reimbursed monthly to the General Fund. Such costs totaled $450,000 during 1985 and are reflected as operating transfers in the accompanying combined financial statements. In June 1985, the City Council approved a transfer of $900,000 from the General Fund to the Capital Projects Fund to partially finance a new municipal complex. (9) Commitments and Contingencies The City entered into a contract on August 12, ]985 to purchase certain land and facilities to be used for a library/recreation center for approxi- mately $4,306,000. The purchase was subsequently financed by the issuance of General Obligation Bonds in December, 1985 (note 10). (Continued) 23 CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS Notes to Combined Financial Statements The City participates in a number of State and Federally assisted grant programs, principal of which is Federal Revenue Sharing. These programs are subject to financial and compliance audits by the grantors or their representatives, the purpose of which is to insure compliance with condi- tions precedent to the granting of funds. Any liability for reimbursement which may arise as the result of these audits is not believed to be material. (10) Subsequent Event On December 17, 1985, the City issued General Obligation Refunding and Improvement Bonds of $]3,975,209 (Series 1985, bearing interest at rates ranging from 5.75% to 8.5%, due in annual instalments of $355,000 to $],255,000 through February 15,2005). Bond proceeds of $7,762,471 (net of $212,738 of discount and issuance costs) and a cash deposit from the City of $1,428,257 were used to advance refund all of the City's outstand- ing General Obligation Bonds (note 5). The remaining proceeds of $6,000,000 (less discount and issuance costs) were issued to finance a purchase of land and facilities (note 9). The net proceeds from the refunding issue and the cash deposit from the City have been placed in an irrevocable escrow account and invested in U.S. Treasury obligations that, together with interest earned thereon, will provide sufficient amounts to pay future interest and principal on the issue being refunded. The defeasance of the refunded bonds resulted in a gain of approximately $300,000. The gain will be recognized in the period in which the refunding occurred. 24 I I I I I I I GENERAL FUND I I To account for resources traditionally associated with govern- ments which are not required to be accounted for in another fund. Major functions financed by the General Fund include: Administrative; Judicial; Public Information; Finance; Police; Fire; Protective Inspections, such as building, paving, plumb- ing and electrical; Traffic Control; Street Repair and Main- tenance; Community Enrichment Activities such as Parks, Recrea- tion and Library. Financing is provided by taxes (primarily property, sales and franchise), license and permits, fines and interest on investments.

In order to provide better protection of the citizens of North Richland Hills the attached proposed Ordinance is recommended. Further, the fees that were established in 1961 are no longer sufficient to cover the expenses involved in processing the permits. The attached ordinance provides for stricter requirements, higher fees and enables the City ample time to investigate those individuals who wish to solicit in the residential areas of North Richland Hills. Also the proposed Ordinance addresses charitable organizations that were not addressed in 1961. Charitable organizations are exempt from fees established by this Ordinance. It is believed that, with the rapid increase of population and crimes in the neighborhoods, this ordinance is needed at this time. The attached Ordinance has been coordinated with the City Attorney and the City Secretary's Office. Recommendation: It is recommended that the attached Ordinance be adopted. Finance Review Acct.

This section will be narrower than the rest of the road but will be widened to its full length by the property owner at the time he develops it. At that time the originally planned 6" concrete curb and gutter will be installed. Funding Source: The funding for this change requires a decrease in the budget of the Chapman Drive Project account, 13-00-48-6150 and a transfer to the budget of Unspecified Projects account, 13-00-99-6150 in the amount of $2,774.00.

Because of right-of-way negotiation problems, a section of Chapman Drive will be narrowed down between approximate Station 43+00 to Station 50+60 and a temporary asphalt curb is proposed on the north side within this section. An offset will be constructed on the north side at statión 50+60 and concrete curb and gutter will be recontinued at this point eastward. The property owner between Station 43+00 and 50+60 will be required to widen the road~y to its full design width and construct concrete curb and gutter at a later date when the property develops. The proposed curb inlet in this section on the north side has also been eliminated. Substitution of asphalt curb for the concrete curb and gutter reduces the total contract amount by $2,774. The difference in quantity of asphalt and stabilized subgrade will be taken into account in the final quantity tabulations.

This change order covers the cost of replacing the earthen channel across the Roy Strickland property with a fully concrete lined section. Also included in this change order is an 8-foot wide, 40-foot span double tee bridge to provide Mr. Strickland with access to his property from both sides of the channel. Additional fencing along the full channel length and across the bridge on each side is included. Seeding of the earthen channel is eliminated as noted on the change order form. The original design included concrete lining of the channel to minimize future maintenance problems by the Public Works Department. Mr. Strickland had originally agreed to dedicate a 70-foot wide drainage easement across his property with the provision that the channel be left in an earthen condition wHh relatively flat side slopes designed to prevent injury to his horses. However, with the horses free to wander down into the channel, gates must be constructed on each end of the property to keep the horses in while permitting stormwater to flow across the property in the channel. These gates will collect alot of trash and debris and must be cleaned periodically. This earthen channel section will be a continual maintenance problem for the City until it is fully concrete lined. Therefore, we would strongly recommend that the Council approve this change order if funds are available. The total cost of the change order based on estimated quantities is $66,562.84. which is about 8-percent of the total contract amount of $827,280.67. This extra work will extend the contract completion time 60 days.

Richland Hills, TX. 76118 Dear Mayor Echols: After several years of research, your Chamber of Commerce has decided at this time to follow through with a major chang~ outlined three years ago in our Long Range Plan. This major change being a new name that would provide __ good geographic identification for our area. . Special' consideration was given to one important decision: either include all city names or none of the city names in the Chamber of Commerce name. This in itself presented the major portion of the challenge - geogra- phic identification. On May 1, 1986, the Haltom Richland Area Chamber'of Commerce will become - The Northeast Tarrant County Chamber of Commerce 5001 Denton Hwy. Fort Worth, Texas 76117 The Chamber's printed material will bear the words, IIServing the cities of Haltom City, North Richland Hills, Richland Hills, Watauga and surrounding areas". This should provide your Chamber of Commerce with local identification, metroplex identification and national identification. It is the feeling of the Board of Directors that this geographic identification is im- portant to the future development of our communities. I will be requesting a place on your council agenda soon to present this information in person and answer any questions you may have. Should you have questions prior to that date, please contact me at 281-9376. Yours truly, ~ Charles Owen President
