Chairman Wood stated that the way the

It was discussed that they should be

responsibility to the City Council.
It was also discussed that they could
be in City parks and this could be
coordinated with the recreation
department.

was built, others were built as
single ly R-l like the rest of
Dia Loch. He asked if P & Z would
t to initiate a zoning change to
R-1 and contact all property owners
within 200 feet of this property.
Mr. LeBaron said the Zoning Ordinance
says that the City Council, Planning
and Zoning Commission, or an owner of
property or agent of the owner of
property may initiate a zoning change.
He said this zoning classification was
done many years ago and the purpose of
requesting a zone change would be to
clean up the map.

Council Meeting Date:

Agenda Number:
Ordinance 111747
The Bank of North Texas submitted a request for a zoning district change on a 3 acre
tract located on the east side of Davis Boulevard approximately 400 feet south of the
Cotton Belt Railroad. The property contains a large building which has been used as a
cabinet shop for a number of years. However, the property is currently zoned C-2 and a
cabinet shop is not a permitted use in the C-2 zoning district. The Bank of North Texas
requested a change to the 1-2 Industrial Zone to satisfy current zoning requirements.
At the May 9th meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission, the request was denied by
a 4-3 vote. At the June 10th City Council meeting, the Council set July 8th as the date
to consider the request.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council hold the required Public Hearing and consider
the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission.

PZ 91-11
Public Hearing for request of the Bank
of North Texas to rezone Tract 7,
John's Addition, from its present
classification of C-2 Commercial to
1-2 Industrial. This property is
located on the east side of Davis
Boulevard and south of the railroad.
e
Mr. LeBaron stated this tract of land
at one time had a cabinet shop in it,
but a cabinet shop is not an allowed
use in C-2 zoning and the building
does not conform to the masonry
requirement for C-2 zoning. He said
the structure is currently vacant and
before it can be used again, it either
needs to be rezoned to 1-2 or the
building be brought up to code and be
used for something other than a
cabinet shop.
Chairman Brock opened the Public
Hearing and called for those wishing
to speak in favor of this request to
please come forward.
There being no one wishing to speak,
the Chairman called for those wishing
to speak in opposition to this request
to please come forward.
e
Councilman Scoma came forward. He
stated that he was speaking on behalf
of several neighbors who has property
adjacent to or in the vicinity of the
property being requested for rezoning.
He said he understands the bank needs
to utilize this facility for revenue
purposes and not just let it set
there. Councilman Scoma said he
understands it is non-conforming. He
said they are totally in agreement in
making it where a cabinet shop can be
Page 10
p & Z Minutes
May 9, 1991
e
in that facility. He said they don't
object to the cabinet shop as they
have lived with it for years.
e
Councilman Scoma said one of the major
concerns is that this Planning and
Zoning Commission and the Council has
done a lot of work looking at the
zoning map of the city and
establishing some areas where
industrial would work. He said they
have at the present time, no
industrial property on the east side
of Davis Boulevard, south of the rail
road tracks except for a piece in
front of the new post office that is
zoned industrial. He said it ties
into the old airport property that is
zoned industrial. Councilman Scoma
said that was intended to be opened up
as a road into some large tracts that
would encourage manufacturing
companies to move here.
e
Councilman Scoma said one objection
that they have is not only does this
represent industrial zoning, it is
considered to be a commercial area
according to our master plan, but it
is also a small tract of land that
limits the use of this property to
such things as machine shops, plumbing
shops, sheet metal shops, welding
shops that have outdoor storage. He
said this is not compatible with the
residential area; it is not compatible
with what the residents were told when
they bought their property. He said
there is a piece of agricultural
property behind the houses in
Sunnybrook and their concern is if we
approve the industrial zoning carte
blanche that there will be an attempt
in the future to make it industrial
also. Councilman Scoma said he
encourages P & Z tonight as a
homeowner in the area to restrict the
industrial use to only a cabinet shop
or to reject the request for general
industrial use.

e
B. J. Wilkinson, 6433 Westgate, came
forward. He said Westgate backs up to
this area. He said these houses were
built within this last year and there
are about 30 houses there. He said
all the homeowners were told this
would remain as it is and we are
concerned.
Robert Hightower, 6437 Westgate Drive,
came forward. He said he is close
enough to the cabinet shop to hit it
with a rock. He said he has two small
children. He said when he moved in he
specifically asked what it was zoned
and was told it was commercial. Mr.
Hightower said he didn't have a
problem with that and he would like it
to remain that way.
e
Keith Smith, 6441 Westgate Drive, came
forward. He said they were told it
was currently commercial and would
probably stay that way. He asked Mr.
LeBaron about what he said about the
bank having a proposed use for the
property.
Mr. LeBaron said their application
said the sale was contingent on getting
the zoning change.
Mr. Smith asked about the same usage.
Mr. Bowen stated that the cabinet shop
was a non-conforming use, it was
already there. He said there is some
question as to where it has been
vacant for 6 months or not.
Mr. LeBaron read what was written on
the application: "Previous use was
inconsistent with zoning. Similar use
will be established if zoning change
can be obtained."
e
Mr. Lueck asked if a cabinet shop
could go in if the building was
brought up to code.
Page 12
p & Z Minutes
May 9, 1991
e
Mr. LeBaron stated it could not.
Mr. Smith said he has a problem with
changing the zoning to industrial, but
has no objection to the cabinet shop.
He said it opens the gate to allow
businesses that are not favorable and
it will lower the property value of
these houses.
Mr. Barfield asked if he was aware of
the outdoor storage allowed in C-2
zoning. He said you can have 20% of
the lot for outdoor storage in C-2
without changing the zoning. Mr.
Barfield said the cabinet shop would
have to be in Industrial zoning and he
is not sure we, as a Board, are at
liberty to pick and choose in the
Industrial zoning.
e
Ron Wright came forward. He said his
family has property at 8217 and 8221
Cardinal Lane. He said he feels that
a zoning change would hurt the use of
the property. Mr. Wright said his
family has owned the property for 50
years and do not look forward to it
being used as industrial. He asked
what percent outdoor storage is
allowed in industrial zoning.
Mr. Pence said there is no outdoor
storage in Industrial zoning.
Mr. Wright said he is still opposed to
the industrial zoning.
Jack King, 8301 Cardinal, came
forward. He said he was against this
for all the same reasons. He said he
and his wife took a survey of the
residential area and they were 100% in
opposition to this request and said
they would sign a petition.
e
Page 13

May 9, 1991
e
e
Councilman Scoma came forward again.
He said he would like to address Mr.
Barfield's comment in regard to the
restriction of not being allowed to
pick and choose. Councilman Scoma
stated that the staff attorney has
told us that we can, the P & Z can, or
the council can restrict the use of
that property to a cabinet shop, if
that is what we want to do under 1-2.
He said he and the neighbors are not
opposed to the cabinet shop; it was
already there when they moved into the
area. Councilman Scoma said they
would understand if it had to be
rezoned to accommodate that. He said
the concern is now you are opening up,
if you should resolve and the council
approve the 1-2 zoning, you then would
have contiguous property adjacent to
that and it would be inclined to be
zoned industrial and then the whole
area would be industrial and would
allow types of businesses we do not
want, so you can restrict that too
based on Rex McEntire's comments the
other day.
Jeff Walter, 6425 Westgate, came
forward. He thanked Councilman Scoma
for his leadership tonight. Mr.
Walter said he echoes the feelings of
his neighbors tonight, he said he and
his wife are against this rezoning for
the same reasons.
Captain Michael Plan, U.S.A.F.,
address 6409 Amundson, came forward.
He stated he has plans to sell his
home within the next year and if you
open this up to industrial, it would
definitely affect the resale of his
property. He said he has no problem
with what is already there.
e
Chairman Brock asked for a show of
hands of the ones present who are in
opposition to the rezoning.

Subject:
Richland Youth Association Proposal Regarding Concession
Stand
Richland Youth Association officers have made informal inqu1r1es
recently about City participation in expanding the concession stand at
Richfield Park. The present concession stand/storage building is
seriously inadequate and overcrowded.
RYA officers have developed a plan whereby the existing building could
be expanded, utilizing free labor provided by RYA members, with the
City purchasing the materials. The estimated cost of the materials is
$15,000.
Mayor Brown has requested that this item be discussed by the City
Council, and referred to the Parks and Recreation Board for
consideration and recommendation if the Council wishes to pursue this
project.

Fire Inspection Program
At the budget study session last year, the City Council directed that
consideration be given to reestablishing the annual Fire Safety
Inspection Program which was previously performed in North Richland
Hills. The possibility of establishing fees to partially offset its
cost was also proposed.
The Fire Chief and his staff have thoroughly studied this proposal and
have submitted the attached information. It appears that most Tarrant
County Fire Departments conduct annual inspection programs, but only
Fort Worth and Bedford charge a fee therefor.
The anticipated gröss revenue from establishing fees as listed in the
attached draft ordinance totals approximately $20,000 per year
exclusive of billing and collection costs.
As pointed out by Chief Gertz, there is a strong possibility that the
collection difficulties and negative reaction from our business
community migh~ offset this relatively minor revenue gain.
Chief Gertz and his staff fully support the proposal to reestablish the
annual inspection program. We request the City Council's guidance
regarding establishing a fee for this service.

FIRE INSPECTION PROGRAM
91-145
TO
FROM
06/05/91
As requested I have gathered all information concerning on going
fire inspections for fee programs currently operated in this area.
Fort Worth and Bedford are the only cities that have an active
program at this time. Shown below are the ways that their systems
work.
Fort Worth
Engine companies due in-service inspecti.ons of all businesses.
After the inspection is complete a three piece form is filled out.
One copy is given to the business owner, one copy is kept by
the Engine company and the third is sent to Fire Prevention to be
entered in the computer. The computer develops a bill from the
information on the form. The amount of the bill 1S determined by
square footage of the building or space occupied.
e
The bill is mailed to the business with 30 days to pay. If not
paid a reminder is sent with 14 days to pay. If it is still not
paid another 14 day notice is sent. If at the end of 58 days and
three notices the bill has still not been paid, citations may be
issued.
Bedford
Bedford operates completely different. They require an annual
Fire Marshal's permit. The permit 1S issued to the building owner
rather than individual tenants. The annual bill is sent out in
November of each year and is due by January 1. They, like Fort
Worth send a total of three notices. Two after January 1 if not
paid on time. After the three notices have been sent and no fee
has been received, citations may be issued.
When their Engine companies due in-service inspections they ask to
see their permits. If they do not have a current permit they are
asked to go to the Fire Prevention office and get a permit. Their
information is also sent to the Fire Prevention Division for
follow up.
e
This system works much like our environmental department permits.
Ron Hawthorne said their program has been going for four years and
they received around a 97% collection rate. He also said the
first year was tough and the people were not happy campers.

STAN GERTZ, FIRE CHIEF ~ DATE:
FIRE INSPECTION PROGRAM WITH FEE
91-133
FROM
MAY 28, 1991
The above program was suggested by members of the city council
while attending the budget workshop in Waco in July, 1990.
This program would require the fire department truck companies to
make annual fire inspections of all businesses, retail stores,
schools (private and public), and churches. At the conclusion of
each inspection, the place of business will be presented with a
fire inspection invoice. The amount of the fee is based on the
attached memo under purposed ordinance #1692.
Meetings with Finance Director, Lee Maness and the City Attorney
indicate there are no legal methods in collecting these fees from
businesses who fail to make payment within the allotted time
period.
e
without a procedure to collect overdue fire inspection fees, this
program has the ear marks of a failure, while creating a poor city
image to our business people. Especially when one business owner
learns he has paid his inspection fee and his neighbors business
did not, and no action will be taken to collect on the overdue
account.
Please schedule this item on a pre-council agenda at your
convenience.

ORDINANCE NO.
WHEREAS, in order to protect the health and safety of the public, the health
and safety of employees in places of business, the health and safety of business invitees and
the health and safety of firefighters it is necessary to require that each place of business
within the City undergo an annual fire safety inspection by the office of the Fire Marshall;
IT IS THEREFORE ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS, that:
1.
The Office of the Fire Marshall of the City of North Richland Hills, Texas
shall conduct an annual fire-safety inspection upon each business or commercial premise
within the City. The purpose of the inspection shall be to ascertain that the premises
inspected are in compliance with the Fire Code of the City.
2.

SUBJECT: Fire Inspection Accounts Receivable
I just wanted to briefly follow-up on our conversation of several
weeks ago.
We are available at your convenience to get started on the
accounts receivable for fire inspections. The only suggestions
we had were the ones covered in the meeting in Lee Maness's
office which dealt with the modification of the forms and the
inclusion of a late payment penalty of $10.00 in the Fire
Inspection Ordinance.
The addition of the $10 late payment penalty will assist us in
the event the account has to be turned over to a collection
agency.
The form modification should include the following additional
information:
Billing Name and Address
Tax ID #
Ticket #
Please give me a call when you are ready to get started so
someone can be available to process your documents.

Subject:
Re-engagement of KPMG Peat Marwick for Fiscal
Year 1990/91 Audit
The City Council originally selected KPMG Peat Marwick to perform
the annual audit for the City in August 1981. The initial
contract was for five years. That contract expired at the
conclusion of the audit for fiscal year 1984/85. An extension
was granted in February 1986 for three years and again in July of
1989 for an additional three years.
The current contract will expire at the conclusion of the audit
for fiscal year ending September 30, 1991. The re-engagement
letter to affirm the KPMG Peat Marwick contract and approve the
audit fee is awaiting my signature. The fee for this year's
audit will be the same as last year or a fee not to exceed
$36,225.
It is the suggestion of staff that City Council consider looking
at the alternatives of retaining Peat Marwick or requesting
proposals from other firms for future audits. Guidance is
requested from City Council.

brought in a record enrollment, also featured
a revised table of contents, registration page,

Texas Forest Service - certificate of Merit
The North Richland Hills Parks and Recreation Department was recently
awarded a "certificate of Merit" for outstanding community service
through the improvement of the urban environment. The "certificate
of Merit" was presented by the Texas Forest Service and the Texas
Urban Forestry council as a part of the Texas Urban Forestry Awards
Program.
The North Richland Hills Urban Forestry Initiative, headed by Tim
Hightshoe under the direction of Jack Giarcomarro, was submitted for
award consideration by the Department. Since starting an urban
forestry program in North Richland Hills two years ago, the Parks and
Recreation Department has:
_ constructed two (2) tree farms with "drip system" irrigation.
_ conducted a city-wide tree inventory on public grounds.
_ completed tree planting projects at municipal buildings,
city parks and numerous medians throughout the city.
Approximately 1,500 trees have been planted on city grounds, parks
and tree farms or have been distributed to our citizens through this
program.
The Parks and Recreation Department is currently in the process of
applying for two (2) grants for tree planting programs administered
through the Texas Forest Service.

Subject:
Public Hearing for Consideration of Amendment to
Council Meeting Date:
PZ 91-09
Agenda Number:
Zoning Ordinance #1080 Regarding Carnivals and
Special Events.
Ordinance #1748
The City has in the past occassionly received requests from various civic and community
non-profit organizations seeking permission to hold fund raising events. For example,
last year the YMCA on Davis Boulevard was denied a request to use a small carnival as an
attraction for a year end fund drive. Unfortunately, the Zoning Ordinance does allow
this use.
During discussions regarding a proposed ordinance, the Planning and Zoning Commission
requested the staff to survey carnival and special event regulations from neighboring
cities. According to the results of the survey, cities address this problem in a
variety of ways. For example, some cities have a special ordinance regarding carnivals
and special events, whereas other cities may include a provision for carnivals in their
zoning ordinance. The following is a brief description of the results of this survey.
Haltom City - The regulation pertaining to carnivals is a separate ordinance apart from
the zoning ordinance. A carnival event is allowed virtually anywhere in the city
provided that a permit is obtained from the Police Chief.
Grapevine - This city requires special permission be granted by the City Council for
carnivals, fairs and special events. The City Manager may approve such an event when
the request is made by a civic or non-profit organization.
Hurst - This city has a separate ordinance regulating carnivals which requires a permit
from the City Secretary. In addition, this use is only permitted in the Outdoor
Commercial Zoning District.
These were the only cities responding to our request.
The staff has prepared the attached proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance regarding
carnivals and other special events. This ordinance, if approved, will allow a carnival
or special event on non-residentially zoned properties when sponsored by a civic or
non-profit organization and only when the site contains a minimum of six open acres. No
fee will be charged applicants for such a permit issued under this provision. However,
the City Council may want to establish a fee for this permit when other permit fees are
considered at some point in the future.

There were a number of hands raised.
Chairman Brock asked if there was
anyone who had anything different to
say.
No one else came forward so Chairman
Brock closed the Public Hearing.
e
Mr. Barfield said he understands the
attorney has discussed with Councilman
Scoma that you can pick and choose in
the menu, but it has been our
direction that you could not. He said
P & Z has had its hands slapped on a
few occasions when we would pick and
choose. Mr. Barfield said he could
not vote for a zone change until we
get a directive from the City Attorney
on this matter. He said he would like
to table this until they get an answer
from the City Attorney.
Mr. Lueck asked Mr. LeBaron if
something has changed that P & Z does
not know about.
Mr. LeBaron said we just have to take
the directive from the City Attorney.
Mr. Bowen asked if we do zone it 1-2
for a cabinet shop and if he wants to
fall to something else, what would he
fall back to, C-2, I-I?
Mr. LeBaron said he could not answer
that.
Mr. Barfield said he felt we should
give the owner of the property a
chance to address these issues.
Chairman Brock said it seems it is the
consensus that if it is not used as a
cabinet shop, it should be left C-2.
e
Mr. Collins suggested they leave it
C-2 and the owner come back in for a
specific use permit.

Mr. Barfield said we might need to do
that so he will not have to pay more
fees, but he thinks we should give him
the chance to come back and address
the issues. He said the Chairman can
re-open the Public Hearing at that
meeting.
Mr. Bowen said you cannot use a
specific use. He said if you have a
specific use, you have that use plus
all the other uses. He also stated
that specific use for a cabinet shop
is not allowed in C-2.
Mr. Barfield made a motion to table
this request until the next meeting
until the City Attorney has a chance
to direct us if we can pick and choose
items in the industrial zoning and
give the owner a chance to address
this issue. This motion was seconded
by Mr. Bowen. The motion failed by a
vote of 3-4 with Lueck, Marin, Collins
and Miller voting against.
Mr. Collins made the motion to deny
PZ 91-11. This motion was seconded by
Ms. Marin and the motion carried 4-3
with Brock, Bowen, and Barfield voting
against denial.
Mr. Bowen stated that his vote against
denial was just to allow the requester
to have a say.
Public Hearing for request of Oscar
Trevino Jr. with J.L. Steele, . to

Agenda Number:
Subject:
Zoning Ordinance #1080 Regarding Day Care Centers and
Kindergartens in U-Institutional Zone
Ordinance #1749
Attached is a proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance regarding Day Care Centers.
The proposed Ordinance if approved will allow a Day Care Center/Kindergarten to be an
allowed use in the U-Institutional Zoning District. Presently, many churches and
private schools operate day care facilities. However, the Zoning Ordinance does not
allow this use in the U-Institutional zone. It seems appropriate to add the Day Care
Center/Kindergarten use to this zone since many of the same physical characteristics
exists for day care centers as do churches and private schools. The Planning and Zoning
Commission reviewed and recommended approval of this amendment at their June 13th
meeting.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council hold the required Public Hearing and consider
the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission.

Basketball Goals and other Obstructions or Hazards
Subject: in tnp ~trp~t Fi g'ht_-Qf-Way - Qrdinance No. 1743 Agenda Number: GN 91-92
II
The Public Works Department and Community Development Department have received several
complaints concerning basketball goals within the street right-of-way. staff has
handled these complaints by appealing to the property owner's sense of public safety
and concern for possible liability should someone be hurt using the goal. Until
recently, this has worked and the property owner would remove the goal. Based on our
current ordinances, we do not have the clear direct authority to have the resident
remove the basketball goal.
The attached ordinance was composed by the Attorney for the City at the request of the
Public Works and Community Development Departments. The staff believes this ordinance
will give us the needed clear authority to request removal of any item within the
street right-of-way which may pose a traffic hazard or create an attractive nuisance
along the City's streets.
The staff has also provided a list of existing basketball goals which will be effected
by the passage of this ordinance. staff has not contacted the owners of these goals
because we have not received any complaints. However, the staff recommends all
existing basketball goals be removed should Council elect to pass this ordinance.
Recommendation:
4IÞ It is recommended that City Council take action on Ordinance No. 1743.

RICHFIELD PARX
SPORTSLIGHTING PROJECT
SUMMARY
BACKGROUND
The existing lighting system at Richfield Park was originally
installed, with "shop-fabricated" non-galvanized steel poles, by
Public Works personnel in the mid-1970's. Since 1985 there have
been two (2) structural failures due to a combination of internal
rust, wind stress or metal fatigue.
The pole failure in 1985 resulted in six (6) new sportslighting
poles being installed to replace the fallen pole and five (5)
other poles of questionable integrity at that time. The most
recent pole failure was in March, 1990.
The RYA sponsors and programs sports leagues in baseball and
football at Richfield Park. Approximately 1800 youth participated
in this year's sports programs.
e
In March, 1991 the Parks and Recreation Department conducted an
inspection of the light poles in all city parks at the request of
the City Manager's Office. The inspection resulted in the
observance of rust accumulation on the interior of the poles, weld
separations and the discovery of two (2) significant cracks
(approximately eight inches [8"]) on two (2) of the poles.
The City Council, on April 8, 1991, authorized the replacement of
the existing lighting systems and appropriated $218,900 for
project construction costs. The Council also authorized staff to
hire a structural engineer to evaluate the condition of the poles.
STRUCTURAL ENGINEER'S INSPECTION
staff contracted Frank W. Neal & Associates, Inc. to conduct a
structural engineering assessment of the existing poles and bases.
According to Mr. Neal, 75% (18 of 24) of the existing poles around
the ballfields have "experienced sianificant deterioration and
their structural integrity is questionable and warrants
replacement". The six (6) which were replaced in 1985 proved to
be structurally adequate for re-use given that their height and
fixture-bearing capacity could be incorporated into the proposed
sportslighting system design. The structural engineer's
assessment also showed the light poles on the tennis courts to be
adequate for supporting the existina fixtures (one per pole -- see
the following discussion of light levels) but not adequate to
support the additional fixtures necessary for raising the light
e levels to appropriate standards.
~ LIGHT LEVEL TESTING AND ILLUMINATION STANDARDS
In addition to evaluating the structural safety of the poles, the
Staff coordinated a light level test to address a second area of
liability concern. Inadequate illumination can be very dangerous
in sports situations that involve high velocity projectiles, as is
the case in baseball.
The amount of light we currently have on the baseball fields
ranges from 40% - 70% below the minimum acceptable standard. In
addition to not having an adequate amount of light, we also have a
problem with the uniformity of light distribution and glare caused
by poles that are too short for the size of the fields that they
are intended to illuminate. These fields also have poor quality
of light due to two separate types of fixtures, metal halide and
quartz, being indiscriminately distributed throughout the sports
complex.
e
The tennis courts are currently 87% below the minimum acceptable
light level standard. Light level readings were at four (4)
foot/candles in comparison to the minimum standards of 30
foot/candles. The poles on the tennis courts are in good shape
and are the appropriate height. However, for the light level to
meet the minimum standard of 30 foot/candles, it will be necessary
to add additional metal halide fixtures and eliminate the existing
quartz fixtures. The existing poles are not of sufficient
diameter to support the necessary crossarm configuration for the
additional fixtures.
A very cost-effective solution for proper lighting of the tennis
courts and basketball courts will be discussed later in this
report.
PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS
The Staff met with sportslighting contractors, consultants,
manufacturer's representatives, engineers and youth sports
representative in order to research and evaluate the most cost
effective approach to completing this project. Staff contracted
with Bland Harper to serve as architect and project manager.
The project specifications were prepared with the following goals
and directives:
e
Safety - A mandate was established to address safety concerns as
the top priority in the design of the new sportslighting system.
The replacement poles must meet a 15 year warranty criteria and
have a minimum wind loading capacity of 80 MPH with a 1.3 gust
factor. The maintained light levels will also meet 100% of the
minimum acceptable light levels. The poles and fixtures are
specified at the appropriate heights and with glare reduction
features to create a safely illuminated play environment for the
users of these facilities.
-
-
.
Economical Design - The new sportslighting system maX1m1zes "pole
sharing" opportunities between fields thereby reducing costs. The
new system calls for nineteen new poles to illuminate eight sports
fields. That is in contrast to the existing 24 poles that
currently only illuminate six (6) fields. We are able, with this
design, to light two additional fields with five (5) fewer poles.
The net result is better light, both in quantity and quality, with
fewer poles, fixtures and associated costs. The average cost for
installation of each pole with fixtures and electrical is $9,000 _
$10,000. (By eliminating five [5] poles through design
improvement a total savings can be estimated at $45,000 -
$50,000.)
Maximum use of Existing Equipment - The structural engineer's
evaluation of the existing poles verified that the six (6)
replacement poles from 1985 were in good condition and provide the
opportunity for continued use. These (6) poles are currently
located on the two (2) largest baseball fields. Unfortunately,
these poles are not the appropriate height or in the correct
locations to be used for relighting the baseball fields. However,
they are the correct height and have the fixture bearing capacity
to light the tennis and basketball courts at the appropriate
levels. The contractor will remove these poles and we will have
them sand blasted, inspected and "powder-coated" prior to re-
installing them on the tennis and basketball courts. The best
existing metal halide fixtures will be removed, cleaned and
reassembled for reuse on these facilities. other fixtures will be
kept for replacement parts or for use on future projects. The
existing tennis court poles can also be cleaned and reconditioned
for reuse at Norich Park. Since the security lighting at that
park will require only one fixture per pole.
The estimated cost savings for the City by reusing and
reconditioning this existing equipment should be between $15,000 _
$20,000.
Special Features - The specifications call for fixtures and system
designs that will eliminate spill and glare concerns. This will
prevent the park lighting from being a nuisance to the surrounding
neighborhoods.
The specifications also call for remote ballasts on the new poles.
This reduces our long term maintenance cost by placing ballasts
and fuses at 10 feet instead of at 50 - 70 feet above ground.
Maintenance costs for renting lift trucks would be greatly
reduced.
Construction Schedule - In order to minimize the City's exposure
to the liability of unsafe structures and inadequate light levels,
the base bid requires a completion date of October 1, 1991.
Completion by this date would also have the least detrimental
effect on the primary user's, the Richland Youth Association, fall
youth football schedule.
~ RELATIONSHIP TO THE PARKS MASTER PLAN
Renovation of the sportslighting system is Richfield Park is
recommended in Chapter V. "Conclusions", p. 65 under Renovation In
Existina Parks.
This project is also in accordance with the policy statement goals
adopted by Council as part of the Parks and Recreation Master
Plan. Goal Number 3 states:
"The Parks and Recreation Department will ensure that
facilities are maintained both for the safety of the
public and also to ensure the longevity of the facilities."
(p. 126)
BASE BID AND DEDUCTIVE ALTERNATES
The base bid includes new sportslighting for four (4) baseball
fields, two (2) football fields and two (2) "T-Ball" fields.
Basketball courts and tennis courts will be illuminated with
approved reusable poles and fixtures currently in existence.
Security lighting between facilities and on parking areas is
included. A completion date of October 1, 1991 are included in
the base bid.
~ Deductive Alternate #1: Eliminate Tennis Court Liqhtinq
(Subtract $5,786) - The poles on the tennis courts are
structurally sound but cannot support the additional fixtures
necessary to increase the light levels to the minimum standard.
By reusing existing poles and fixtures from the baseball fields we
can provide the appropriate level of light at a significant
savings of $8,214 compared to the cost of this work as a separate
project.
Deductive Alternate #2: Eliminate Basketball Court Lighting
(Subtract $4,092) - The basketball courts are currently not
lighted. However, the high frequency of participant uses and lack
of lighted outdoor basketball courts make this alternate a viable
park improvement opportunity in the context of this project.
Reuse of existing equipment make this project very cost effective
in contrast to lighting separately at a later date. Estimated
savings would be $2,908 compared to the cost of this work as a
separate project.
-
Deductive Alternate #3: Eliminate Lighting of T-Ball Fields
(Subtract $18,902) - The Richland Youth Association has
constructed two (2) new "T-Ball" Fields in Richfield Park over the
past two years. These facilities, valued at approximately
$60,000, were constructed with materials purchased by the Richland
Youth Association and built with volunteer labor. These
facilities are not currently lighted but can be illuminated at a
significant cost savings if coordinated with the proposed lighting
project. The estimated savings by "economy-of-scale" would be
$11,098 compared to the cost of this work as a separate project.
· ESTIMATED COST ESTIMATED COST

*Using approved existing poles and fixtures from baseball fields.
e
-
The net savings of approving the base bid which includes these
facilities, at this time can be estimated at approximately
$26,220. This "economy of scale" results from the reuse of
existing equipment, non-duplication of design fees, consolidated
transportation cost for poles and fixtures, bid costs, bonding
costs, etc..
This represents nearly a 50% savings on the cost of lighting two
(2) T-Ball fields, two (2) tennis courts and two (2) basketball
courts. Staff recommends including these facilities as part of
the park lighting renovation project.
staff has researched and evaluated this project diligently in an
effort to provide our citizens with the best facility improvement
value for the dollar.

L
R-8). The City Council finds that the single-family
residential lots within the City of North Richland Hills,

Page 2
I .
The following schedule of drainage charges is hereby levied
against all real property lying within the City of North Richland
Hills, Texas, subject to drainage charges under Subchapter C of
Chapter 402 of the Texas Local Government Code:
A. Basic Drainaae Charge. The rates set forth herein are
calculated on basis of a drainage charge of $3.00 per ERU
(Equivalent Residential Unit) which is equal to $19.26 per
impervious acre of land. Runoff coefficients and
corresponding rates per acre for various land uses may be
modified by the City Council from time to time by a
modification of said Basic Drainage Charge.
B. Sinale-Familv Residential (R1, R2, R3, R-4-SD, R-5-D, R-6-T
.L
R-8). The City Council finds that the single-family
residential lots within the City of North Richland Hills,
Texas will be charged at a rate per platted lot based on
their zoning when a building exists on the platted lot. The
charge per lot is based on the Basic Drainage Charge.
e Zoning Runoff Coefficient Rate oer Lot
R1 0.51 $3.42
R2 0.54 $2.58
R3 0.55 $2.22
R-4-SD 0.59 $1.14
R-5-D 0.59 $1.14
R-6-T 0.63 $0.96
R-8 0.62 $1.44
C. All unplatted tracts, platted lots with other than
residential zoning, or parcels of land which have solely a
residential use are to be charged a drainage fee the same as
a platted lot zoned R1 with a house on it. The rate per R1
use shall apply for each residential house which exists on
the tract or parcel of land. If in the opinion of the City
the tract or parcel contains an above average amount of
impervious cover, an analysis of the tract can be conducted
to determine the accurate runoff coefficient for the
property. The rate for each such case will be adjusted in
accordance with the analysis.
D.
All other lots, tracts and parcels of land within the City
of North Richland Hills, Texas, shall be charged on the
basis of the acreage contained in said lot, tract or parcel
of land, and the use made of such property, in accordance
with the following schedule of drainage charges which are
hereby levied against all such remaining lots, tracts and
parcels of land within City of North Richland Hills, Texas.
