Discuss items from Regular July 25. 2005 City Council Meeting _ IR 2005-101 - Water and Sewer Cost of Service Study - Councilwoman Cox advised she was not able to find where Council had approved the study rates in April of this Staff Members: Larry J. Cunningham Richard Torres Ogden Bo Bass Karen Bostic Patricia Hutson George Staples Mary Edwards John Pitstick Larry Koonce Mike Curtis Dave Green Kyle Spooner Drew Corn Jimmy Perdue Richard Abernethy John Lynn Richard Kitchen Absent: Tim Welch Call to Order e e e City Council Minutes July 25, 2005 Page 2 year. Mayor Trevino advised that the Council had approved the Master Plan Impact Fee Study and rates. Mr. Curtis advised the impact fee rates were adopted by Council earlier in the year. Staff was asked to verify the approval date. After presentation of Item 2, Staff advised that Council approved the Master Plan and Impact Fee Study and impact fee rates on March 28, 2005 with an implementation date for the new fees being April 1, 2005. 2. IR 2005-101 Presentation of the Water and Sewer Cost of Service Study Mr. Koonce advised that rate analyst, Ms. Carolyn Marshall, CPA, would present to Council the cost of service study. Ms. Marshall presented a PowerPoint presentation highlighting the methodology of the study, revenue requirements, cost allocation and the rate development process. Ms. Marshall advised that se"veral different rate structures had been considered and it has been determined ·that the existing rate structure is the most logical at this time. Council was advised that the City's base, volume water and sewer rates have not changed since 1994: The study recommends a minimal increase in sewer rates and a marginal increase in water rates to be phased in over a three-year period to minimize the affect of the increase on customers. To further minimize the impact of the increase, the recommendation is also to use the Rate Stabilization Reserve established several years ago by the City Manager. Any rate increases would be implemented in the fall or winter when water consumption is lowest. Ms. Marshall presented the current rates as well as the phase-in increases up to year 2008 for water and sewer. In 2006, increases will be 5 cents for base rate, 6 cents for the volume rate and no increase to sewer rates. The increases over the three-year period are: water base rate from $9.00 to $9.30, volume rate from $2.45 to $2.69, sewer base rate from $7.22 to $7.27 with no increase to the sewer volume. Councilman Lewis clarified that if approved, this increase will be the first to the City's base, volume water and sewer rates since 1994. Fort Worth and Trinity River Authority increases are not controllable by the City and are passed on to the citizens. Mayor Trevino introduced the City's new Police Chief Jimmy Perdue. 3. IR 2005-100 Review of Tarrant County Transportation Bond Program Mayor Trevino advised he had asked Mayor Pro Tern Welch to sit as the City's representative on the County's Evaluation Committee and believed the County accepted his nomination of Mayor Pro Tern Welch. Mr. Curtis presented a PowerPoint presentation explaining the Tarrant County bond program for voter consideration in May 2006. The program will include $200 million for transportation improvement projects and Tarrant County is asking cities to submit local projects for inclusion in the program. Tarrant County will be forming a Project Selection Committee to review and rank the projects submitted by the cities. Requirements for e e e City Council Minutes July 25, 2005 Page 3 project submittal include a council resolution to be submitted by August 19 that supports the projects and identifies approved funding sources.

The projects selected by Tarrant County will be funded 50% from the Tarrant County program. Mr. Curtis advised staff would bring a resolution containing the list of projects to the next council meeting for approval. Mr. Curtis asked Council if they concurred with the list of projects recommended by Staff or if there were any other projects council would like to see included in the resolution.

GN 2005-073 DENIAL OF INTERIM RATE ADJUSTMENT PROPOSED BY A TMOS ENERGY CORPORATION - ORDINANCE NO 2840 APPROVED e Ms. Karen Bostic, Managing Director, presented item. Atmos Energy filed in December 2004 a request with North Richland Hills for an annual gas reliability infrastructure program (GRIP) rate increase to be effective February 15, 2005. In January 2005, the City suspended the effective date of the proposed rate increase and approved participation in a coalition known as Atmos Cities Steering Committee, which is comprised of cities opposing Atmos' filing at the Texas Railroad Commission. Atmos' GRIP request failed to account for growth in numbers ot customers, thereby undercounting the revenues it will receive from its proposed GRIP rate increase. Atmos' request also failed to recognize that Gas Utility Docket No. 9400 rates included profit based on TXU Corporation's capital structure rather than Atmos Energy's current capital structure. The counsel for the consortium of cities recommends finding that e e e City Council Minutes July 25, 2005 Page 7 Atmos' proposal is unjustified, unreasonable and not in compliance with the GRIP statute. Staff recommends denial of the Interim Rate Adjustment proposed by Atmos.

If approved by Council, Staff will move forward in preparing a detailed implementation plan that will be brought back to Council in the near future.

GN 2005-075 CONSIDER REQUEST OF COUNCILWOMAN NANCY BIELIK TO APPROVE TRAVEL EXPENSES TO INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL OF SHOPPING CENTERS CONFERENCE NO ACTION TAKEN Mayor Trevino advised Council item was placed on agenda by Councilwoman Bielik for Council to approve or disapprove her expenses for the trip she took to Las Vegas. Mayor Trevino advised her trip was taken at a time when the old travel policy was in effect and he did not feel it was within the authority of Council to discuss or vote. Mayor Trevino stated that since the old policy allowed a council member to take any trip without the consent of the Council, the Council then has no authority or right to say whether the City should pay for the trip. Councilwoman Bielik, not Council, should decide whether to accept city reimbursement for cost of trip. Mayor Trevino stated that e City Council Minutes July 25, 2005 Page 8 as Mayor and Chair of the meeting he would not accept a motion for or against this item and will move to next item on the agenda. 11.

Ken Sapp questioned if there were any modifications necessary on the corner of the north/south section. Greg Van Nieuwenhuize, Assistant Director of Public Works, stated that the median on Bridge St. would be modified on the north/south section. Bill Schopper, seconded by Brenda Cole, motioned to approve FP 2005-11. The motion carried unanimously (7-0). . , - . .. CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: Planning Department Council Meeting Date: 8/08/05 Subject: Public HearinQ and Consideration of a Request from B & B Agenda Number: LRB 2005-02 Custom Homes for Approval of a Landscape Variance (Located in the 5600 Block of Davis Boulevard - 6.601 acres). Case Summary: The applicant is proposing to construct a skilled nursing center and professional office complex at the above location. The applicant's proposed development is surrounded on three sides (north, east, and south) by residential zoning/uses. As such the Landscape Ordinance requires a 15' landscaped buffer and 6' masonry wall along these common boundaries. The applicant's landscape plan (attached) includes both the 15' buffer and 6' masonry wall along these boundaries; however, there are two locations (between Lots 2 & 3, and between Lots 6 & 7) where parking spaces and maneuvering areas encroach into the buffer. The Landscape Ordinance does not permit parking or maneuvering areas within required landscape setbacks. The applicant is requesting a variance to permit the encroachments as noted on the attached plans Staff Review: The applicant maintains that the encroachment is necessary in order to meet current parking requirements for the proposed office development. In staff's opinion the encroachment along the southern boundary (between lots 6 & 7) does not seriously compromise the integrity of the required buffer. The encroachment along the northern boundary (between lots 3 & 4), while encompassing a greater portion of the required buffer, is located adjacent to an existing billboard. Due to the triangular shape of this adjacent property, any further residential development (multi-family) is highly unlikely. Site Plan Approval: The applicant also has a site plan request (ref. SP 2005-06 Emerald Plaza) of this same property for consideration on this agenda.

Case Summary: The applicant, B & B Homes Inc is requesting site plan approval for a 128 bed skilled nursing facility and professional office complex located on 6.6 acres in the 5600 Block of Davis Boulevard. Because the site is located immediately adjacent an existing residential neighborhood, site plan approval is required for this project. Landscape Variance Request: In addition to site plan approval, the applicant is also requesting a variance (ref LRB 2005-02 on this agenda) to encroach into a landscape buffer with parking spaces and driving lanes. Existing Zoning: "C-1" Commercial Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan depicts retail uses for this site. This depiction does include offices as acceptable uses. The proposed development is consistent with the Plan, . Thoroughfare Plan: The site has frontage on Davis Boulevard, a future 6-lane, undivided principal arterial with 120' ROW. Plat Status: The site is not platted. A preliminary plat (ref PP 2005-09 Emerald Plaza) was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission on July 21 st. Existing Site Conditions: The site is relatively flat with mostly grass as vegetation. Building Design and Materials: · The development includes a 41 ,500 square foot skilled nursing facility (lot 1) and 6 office buildings ranging in size from 2,750 square feet to 3,750 square feet in size; · All buildings are oriented to the interior of the property; · The elevation for the skilled nursing facility indicates all brick construction with composition shingles.

Access and Parking: · A single 43' combination fire lane and mutual access easement provides access from Davis Boulevard to all 7 lots; · Analysis of the number of proposed parking spaces (based on use) versus the number provided indicates that the project satisfies all current requirements. Landscaping and Screening: · The development is required to provide a 15' landscape setback along Davis Boulevard in addition to a 15' landscape buffer along the northern, eastern and southern property boundaries because of residential adjacency. The applicant's landscape plan complies with required landscape regulations concerning setbacks, buffers, trees, shrubs, minimum caliper size... etc. except for two parking and maneuvering area encroachments (between lots 2 & 3, 6 & 7). As mentioned previously, the applicant is requesting a variance for these encroachments from the Landscape Review Board prior to the site plan consideration; · A 6'masonry brick wall is noted along the northern, eastern, and southern boundaries of this site due to residential adjacency. Signage and Lighting: · The site plan proposes 3 monument signs along the Davis Boulevard frontage. One sign will advertise the skilled nursing center while the two additional signs will advertise offices on the remaining office lots; · No specific plans or notes discuss the exterior lighting of the development. Any exterior lighting will have to meet current regulations regarding screening and intensity. Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation: The Planning and Zoning Commission at their meeting on July 21,2005, recommended approval of SP 2005-06 by a vote of 7-0 with the following stipulation: · That the dumpster pad enclosure be moved to the northeast corner of proposed lot 2. . On the attached site plan the applicant has revised the dumpster location to the northwest corner of lot 1 (immediately adjacent the site recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission). This location was chosen because it provides better accessibility for service than lot 2. Staff considers this location to meet the intent of the Commission's recommendation.

APPROVED Dave Green explained that the tract of land is currently vacant, zoned C-1 Commercial, and the applicant is requesting site plan approval for a 128 bed skilled nursing facility and professional office complex. Any new commercial development adjacent to an existing residential neighborhood requires site plan approval from both the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council. There are landscape and screening requirements. The applicant's landscape plan complies with required landscape regulations and there will be a 6-ft. masonry wall along the sides in addition to the requirement for the 15 ft. landscape setback on the front of the property line. Also there is interior screening and interior landscaping required for the parking lot. · The Landscape Ordinance does not permit parking or maneuvering areas to be located on the required landscape setback. On this property there is a small encroachment on the south side involving half of a parking space. There is also an encroachment on the north side. Both of these were reviewed by staff and there are only minor concerns; however, the applicant will be requesting a variance from the Landscape Review Board (City Council). The variance will be placed on the agenda of the August 8 City Council meeting and be heard prior to the plat. Note that the site plan indicates office buildings on the remaining lots and they will be constructed using the same architectural style and materials as shown for lot 5. Everything else conforms to City requirement and staff recommends approval. Chairman Davis asked about the three monument signs and if the one in the center is going to be for the skilled nursing facility. Mr. Green explained that one will be for the skilled nursing and the other two signs will advertise the offices on the remaining lots. Ken Sapp asked where the dumpster location will be with residential on three sides. Mr. Green responded that staff will address the issue and support the idea that the location be sensitive to the adjacent residential. The applicant, Breece Higgins, B&B Custom Homes, came forward and pointed out the proposed location of the dumpsters for the skilled nursing facility. Mr. · Sapp disagreed with the proposed location. Chairman Davis suggested moving- · · · the dumpster to the northeast corner of Lot 2. Mr. Higgins responded that it would encroach on an easement. He stated that if the Commission agreed with a dumpster encroaching than he did not foresee any problem relocating the dumpsters. Chairman Davis approved the relocation of the dumpsters to the northeast corner area. Mr. Higgins stated that they are working with the skilled nursing facility to have the exterior walls of brick and stone matching with the office buildings. Bill Schopper, seconded by Ken Sapp, motioned for approval of SP 2005-06 with the stipulation that the dumpsters be relocated to the northeast comer of Lot 2. The motion was approved unanimously (7-0). t CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: Planning Department Council Meeting Date: 8/08/05 Subject: Public HearinQ and Consideration of a Request from Agenda Number: ZC 2005-08 Johnson Diversified Enterprises for a Zoning Change from "C-2" Commercial to "RI-PD" Residential Infill-Planned Development (Located in the 7600 & 7700 Blocks of Davis Boulevard - 7.5 acres). Ordinance No. 2841 Case Summary: The applicant, Ben Johnson of Johnson Diversified Enterprises, Inc., is requesting approval of a zoning change from "C-2" Commercial to "RI-PD" Residential Infill- Planned Development. The site is 7.5 acres in size and is located in the 7600 and 7700 blocks of Davis Boulevard. This request represents the first residential infill project to be submitted for approval since adoption of the &CRI-PD" District last year. Conceptual Site Plan: All requests for PD zoning must be accompanied by a site plan detailing the various elements of the proposed development. The applicant has submitted a conceptual plan and a narrative that outlines the basic development. As with other recent requests for SUP and PD zoning, should this request be approved, the applicant would return for final site plan and plat approval. Existing Site Conditions: The site is currently vacant. The site is mostly grass with some mature trees located in the far northeast and southeast corners of the site. The site slopes downward to the southeast from Davis Boulevard. Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan depicts office uses for this site. The proposed use is not consistent with the Plan. Thoroughfare Plan: The site has frontage along Davis Boulevard, a future 6-lane, divided, major arterial with 120' ROW. Gary Drive, a 2-lane local street with 50' ROW, currently terminates at the east property line. The applicant's site plan provides an emergency-only access gate at this point.

All proposed streets are to be a combination public and private with a "rollover" or "lay down" curb design. The Public Works department has reviewed the applicant's design and has found no major maintenance or structural issues. Staff would, however, recommend that the applicant's design be modified to reflect what has been adopted by the City of Colleyville which reduces the curb height and increases the width from that shown in the applicant's narrative. Lot Design: . By design one side of each lot in this development is given a 5' use agreement from the adjoining lot. This allows one side of each residence to have a total of 10' of useable space rather than 5'. In effect, the use agreement makes this development akin to zero lot line development. The purpose of this configuration (according to the applicant) is to provide for side/rear yard patios. The applicant has agreed(through deed restrictions) to restrict window and door openings along the side of the adjoining house for privacy reasons.

APPROVED Dave Green explained that this property is located at the 7600 and 7700 blocks of Davis Blvd. and is currently vacant. It is immediately south of the recreational fishing pond property located on Davis Blvd. This request is the first Residential Infill Planned Development uRI-PD" to be brought before the Commission. RI- PO's are designed for properties that cannot be developed by a traditional urbanization process. Staff addressed different concepts and concerns when the RI-PD ordinance was adopted. The bar has been set high for others to follow as a development. Staff recommends approval of this project. · Randy Shiflet asked if the applicant's design will be modified to reflect street curbs. Chairman Davis explained that the applicant's street curb design is "laid down" . He stated that he believes that either design -- laid down or traditional curbing -- would structurally work. He explained that this plan is a concept plan and that there will be another hearing for the preliminary and final plats as well as a final site plan. Chairman Davis opened the public hearing. He asked the applicant to come forward. The applicant, Ben Johnson, 1712 Oak Knoll Drive, Colleyville, is the owner and president of Johnson Diversified Enterprises, Inc. He has submitted a conceptual plan and a narrative outlining the basic development. He stated that this site has been vacant for over 25 years and he believes development of the site will attract additional development in the area. He stated that the uRI-PD" District has nine requirements and this property meets eight of those requirements. Chairman Davis asked the applicant to address the issue of the entrance on Gary Drive and hopefully calm some of the neighbor's fears. Mr. Johnson stated that Gary Drive will be a gated emergency fire department access entrance only. It will be equipped with sensors with bi-directional capability and the only vehicles allowed through this gate will be emergency-type vehicles. Chairman Davis opened the public hearing. · Tom Connor, 14175 Proton Road, Dallas, is a trustee of the property to the south of Mr. Johnson's site. Mr. Conner is concerned about drainage onto his property. Mr. Connor commended Mr. Johnson for trying to develop the property and is not · · · opposed but has concerns regarding drainage. Chairman Davis explained that at this point only a concept plan has been submitted but that all engineering and drainage analyses will be required during the preliminary and final plat stages. Chairman Davis advised Mr. Connor to visit with Assistant Director Greg Van Nieuwenhuize for more information. The applicant, Ben Johnson, returned to the podium to address Mr. Connor's concerns. He stated that the City requires both under and above ground drainage. Mr. Johnson explained that the water will go underground to Gary Street, and to the corner of Northfield and Gary Streets. As there were no others wishing to speak, the Chairman closed the public hearing. Randy Shiflet, second by Ken Sapp, motion to approve ZC 2005-08.

Ordinance No. 2842 Case Summary: The applicant, Cozy Water Properties, Inc., is requesting approval of a zoning change from the existing "AG" Agricultural District to "R2" Residential District on the above property for the purpose of developing a small residential subdivision. Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan depicts low density residential uses for this area. Even though properties immediately adjacent to this site are larger in size than the minimum R2 lot size (9,000 square foot) requested, the R2 District is considered the standard residential zoning classification for the city and meets the Plan's definition of low density residential use. Thoroughfare Plan: The majority of the site has frontage on Clift Street, a local residential street with 50' ROW. A small portion of the site has frontage on Amundson Drive, a future 4- lane, undivided, major collector street with 68' ROWand Walter Road, also a local street with 50' ROW. Surrounding Zoning I Land Use: North: "R3" I Single family residences East: "AG" / Large lot single family South: "AG" / Large lot single family West: "AG" & "R1" I Large lot single family Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation: The Planning and Zoning Commission at their meeting on July 21 , 2005, recommended approval of ZC 2005-11 by a vote of 4-3. Petition of Opposition: Staff has received a Petition of Opposition concerning this zoning request from adjacent and nearby property owners. Section 118-183 of the Code of Ordinances states that if the owners of 20% of the land within 200' of a zoning request sign in Finance Review Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)

FOR A ZONING CHANGE FROM" AG" AGRICULTURAL TO "R2" SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL (LOCATED IN THE 6900 BLOCK OF CLIFT STREET- 1.906 ACRES). APPROVED Mr. Green explained that this property is less than two acres in size (1.9 acres) and the applicant is proposing six lots on the property. This zoning request will be followed by a preliminary plat request. The applicant is asking for a change in zoning from &lAG" Agricultural district to "R2" Residential district. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request. The Chairman opened the public hearing for ZC 2005-11. · The applicant, David Cole, 808 Tradonna Lane, Hurst, came forward and stated his request. He purchased two properties that were not marketable and wants to build houses on six lots. The first property is narrow and did not have the lot depth to do anything other than a potential house on each end. The second property was too narrow to have the required frontage. Cozy Water Properties was willing to buy both properties and combine them. A house and pool were demolished from one of the properties and the proposed plan was put together. Chairman Davis called any others to the podium who wished to speak for or against this case. Alison Moseley, 6925 Clift Street, owns an acre lot. She is against the number of lots proposed by the applicant on his rezoning and plat requests. She would like for the area to remain agricultural and retain the same life style as everyone else's with nice large lots, beautiful trees, greenery, and rabbits. She does not want the face of the property to change. Robert Moseley, 6925 Clift Street, stated that he is also against the number of lots for the same reasons as stated by his wife (Alison Moseley). He feels that it is not right to put six additional homes in the area and change the area to a cookie cutter look. Kathryn Akers, 6826 Clift Street, stated that her home was built in 1997 and that a minimum 2,500 square feet, with 75% brick and sides, and rear entry garage was required. She would like to see the same specifications be required for this development. She stated that Clift Street is a small street and adding six more homes in the area would cause traffic problems getting in and out of Amundson. She would like to see this property developed as two or four lots, but not six. · . . . Randy Burton, 6921 Clift Street, stated that when his property was rezoned R-1 and platted about sixteen years ago the word "consistent" was used a lot. There are one- to two-acre lots in the surrounding area and he feels this development would be very "inconsistent" with the 1.9 acres split into six lots. He appreciates the rural setting; the street cannot stand heavy traffic. He would prefer R-1 as the minimum zoning for this development. Jane Munoz, 6901 Clift Street, stated that there are signs on these lots advertising homes to be built by Sassy Homes. She stated that Sassy is advertising a rural area and lay-out like the existing homes. The reason she bought her home was the rural area country-like setting. She believes this rural area would be destroyed if six houses are built on this site. Lori Sullivan, 6829 Clift Street, has two acres in the area. She is against the development of six lots. She would like to see two or three lots only to keep the rural, unique, setting. Eric Anderson, 6828 Clift Street, stated that his home was built in the 1940's. The area has grown with many improvements from NRH20 to the recent addition of Liberty Park. Reflecting on why this project is irritating, he believes it is because it has taken away the continuity, margin, space, simplicity, and integrity of the rural country setting. He believes six homes will not allow enough margins and that everyone needs more margins. Chairman Davis announced that Ginger Burton was present but did not wish to speak and that she is against the development. Chairman Davis asked if anyone else wished to speak. Mike Brackney, 6900 Walter Street, has lived here for 35 years and was not notified by the city about this development. [His residence is beyond the 200-ft. notification area.] He is against the development of the property because he does not want six houses on 1.9 acres. He strongly opposes that much density. Melissa Holland, 6832 Clift Street, is strongly against this development. The house she lives in was built in 1968. They sit on a little over two acres. Their acreage is located in the rear of the proposed development. Since the property began to be advertised, they have had problems with people coming down the street and turning around in their field and driveway. Litter has increased. She would like the lots limited to two houses of one-acre each, which would fit into the setting of the community. Ms. Holland was concerned that residents further than 200-ft. from this development were not allowed a say in this matter. Sue Ann Sullivan, 8915 Rumfield, is the daughter of Eric Anderson, 6828 Clift Street. She believes there will be a major street problem since the street is asphalt and no major road improvements are being proposed. She stated that . the area feels like you are way out there in the country. She stated that having that feeling in the middle of the city is special and she would "hate for some city slicker to come in there and tear it all apart". Chairman Davis called the applicant back to the podium to give him a chance to answer questions and make a statement. The applicant, David Cole, 808 Tradonna Lane, Hurst, returned to the podium and stated that he had received a letter from Randy Burton, 6921 Clift Street, mentioning the rural integrity of the area. Mr. Cole agreed that the area does have a rural feel but it is within and surrounded by developed areas. Mr. Cole gave a PowerPoint presentation that showed pictures of the properties surrounding his proposed development. He stated that four of the seven properties directly adjacent to his development are less than an acre in size. He stated that the usage of his development matches the Comprehensive Plan. He then explained some of the history of the property - that it was for sale for a while before he bought it. He spent $110,000 to purchase the property, $40,000 in improvements, and $15,000 to bulldoze the house on the property that was unlivable and needed to be demolished. . He explained to the Commission that if he were required to rezone to R-1 he would combine lots five and six to make one lot and the remaining lots would meet the R-1 minimums so the only thing gained would be the elimination of one house on Walter Street. He stated that the request for two or three lots cannot be done. Mr. Cole explained that he chose Sassy Homes to build the homes on the lots because they do not build cookie cutter homes. He has commissioned a survey of the trees and only two trees will have to be removed. He will be improving the drainage of the entire area. As much as possible will be done to minimize street disruption during construction of the homes. Ken Sapp asked if Mr. Cole had plans to increase the setbacks to maintain a rural setting. Mr. Cole responded that the lots are deep and the homes will be setback "a good ways". Lot one is the only lot that does not offer as much depth. As there were no others wishing to speak, Chairman Davis closed the public hearing. . Mr. Shiflet had questions and comments regarding Clift Street which he believes is a city street that has not been brought up to city standards. Assistant Director of Public Works, Greg Van Nieuwenhuize, ,stated that the street is a non- improved street that doesn't have the R-Q-W to meet the criteria for a residential street. With the platting of the property, the applicant is willing to dedicate the necessary amount of R-Q-W. The applicant is not required by regulations to reconstruct the whole street. However, he is required to escrow the appropriate funds to do his portion and that will be handled during the platting process. Mr. Shiflet was concerned that adding more than two homes would cause street . problems. Mr. Van Nieuwenhuize wasn't sure of the status of this street in regard to the capital improvement plan. Mr. Shiflet questioned whether or not the street could support the weight of a 75,000 pound fire truck. He believed there was a house built on Clift Street in 1997 that required the property owner to sign a waiver for fire protection since the street wouldn't support a fire truck. Scott Wood stated that he is opposed to the development. He lives on two acres and would not want this development in his area. Don Bowen suggested an alternative of R-1 zoning. Chairman Davis responded that the request would have to come from the developer. Ken Sapp stated that if R-2 zoning is approved he didn't believe the Commission could impose any restrictions on lot size. Chairman Davis disagreed, stating that the Commission may deem six lots inappropriate due to traffic and fire protection concern. Don Bowen, seconded by Scott Wood, motioned to deny ZC 2005-11. . Chairman Davis asked for discussion. He stated that the neighborhood is unique and a reasonable lot size is one-third to one-half acre in size in that area. He stated that there are one-acre and larger lots but by the evidence presented to the Board there are also 1, 1 00 square foot homes on those acreages. A big lot does not always guarantee that it is going to be wonderful and great. Chairman Davis stated that it makes sense for R-2 zoning because of the comparison of the homes around it. He stated that the Board can control how many lots are on the preliminary plat. He explained that he will be voting against the motion to deny. The Chairman called for the vote and the motion did not pass by a vote of 3-4-0 (Bill Schopper, Scott Wood and Don Bowen voted for the denial and Chairman Davis, Ken Sapp, Brenda Cole and Randy Shiflet voted against the denial). Randy Shiflet, seconded by Ken Sapp, motioned to approve ZC 2005-11. The motion carried by a vote of 4-3-0 with Chairman Davis, Ken Sapp, Brenda Cole and Randy Shiflet voting for approval and Bill Schopper, Scott Wood and Don Bowen voting against. Chairman Davis explained that a petition of opposition has no legal bearing before this Board. He explained that a copy will given to the City Secretary, who will confirm whether or not the petitioners represent 20% of the land ownership within 200-ft. of this development. If so, a super-majority vote by the Council will be required for approval of this zoning case. . · NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS CITY COUNCIL Case #: ZC 2005-11 Applicant: Cozy Water Properties, Inc.

Location: 6900 Block of Clift Street The following list of residents oppose the rezoning request from AG to R2 for 6 six single family residential lots on the 1.906 acre site as presented in the attached. We do support development of the property if it maintains the rural integrity of the area. · The following are concerns related to the rezoning request: 1. All adjacent properties except for one are an acre or more in size which maintains the rural feel of this part of the city. Consistent with the surrounding area, this property should provide for a maximum of 3 estate size lots with Rl zoning. The builder's current website describes a wonder rural setting with lots of trees. The only way that rural setting and trees will remain intact is to increase the lot sizes and redu,ce the number of homes. 2. All recent zoning requests and approvals in this area have been at the Rllevel. The homes constructed have been in excess of 3000 sq. ft. with side entry garages. 3. Drainage on this property has been a problem. Multiple homes will make that situation more problematic. 4. Construction of any number of homes will damage the current street with heavy trucks, digging of water, sewer and gas lines. At least a reduction to 3 homes would cut the damage/disruption by half. We would assume that the developer/builder would return the street to new condition if construction does take place. 5. Current residents have property zoned AG and have anitnals , trailers, farm equipment and other related AG related items. In nUIIlerous new developlllent situations, new home owners move in and immediately begin to complain about the above · · items. We want assurance in writing that the city will not require any of those residents to make any changes to their property either before or after the development is completed. The property to be rezoned shares a property line where horses and other animals currently reside. If the development proceeds with the 3 homes, request the city require the developer to construct a full masonry fence to clearly separate the new homes from the animals. That way it will be less likely for the animals to bother the new home owners and lor do damage to the fence. After all, the current land owners and the animals were here first.

CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: I nspections Department Council Meeting Date: 8/8/05 Subject: Public Hearing to Consider a Sign Variance Request By Agenda Number: SRB 2005-02 Jay Almquist on behalf of Meadow Lakes Retirement Community at 5000 Meadow Lakes Dr. pursuant to Chapter 106 of the North Richland Hills Code of Ordinances - Sign Regulations. ~ . .-/' Case Summary: The applicant is proposing to install a new 60 Square Foot wall sign on the north side of the building. The Ordinance limits wall signage on multi-family developments to one (1) wall sign for each street frontage with a maximum area of twenty-five (25) square feet. The applicant is requesting a variance to allow a wall sign on a façade that exceeds the maximum allowable size by approximately thirty-five (35) square feet or 140%. The applicant believes that installing a wall sign of this size will give the retirement community greater visibility and greater marketability. The Sign Ordinance authorizes the Sign Review Board to grant variances to the Ordinance that will not be contrary to the public interest and where, because of special physical conditions, the enforcement ot the ordinance would result in an unnecessary hardship. Financial hardships are not considered grounds for variance approval. Meadow Lake Retirement Community has not demonstrated any unique or physical characteristics that create a hardship. Recommendation: Due to the absence of unique physical conditions that would justify a variance, staff is unable to support this request. Finance Review Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)

CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: Budqet & Research Council Meeting Date: 8/08/2005 Subject: Settinq of Public Hearinqs on Proposed Tax Rate and Agenda Number:GN ~005-O80 Record Vote on Placing the Tax Rate Adoption on the Agenda of the September 26, 2005 Council Meeting. In follow up to the 2005-2006 Budget Work Session, it is necessary to begin the notice and public hearing procedures to establish a tax rate for the next fiscal year in accordance with the City Charter and State law. At the Work Session, the Council consensus was to set the tax rate at 57¢, which is the same tax rate as the current year. If approved, this will be the thirteenth consecutive year the tax rate has been 57¢. Per Senate Bill 18 of the 79th Texas Legislative Session, if a municipality imposes a tax rate that exceeds the effective tax rate, the municipality is required to have a record vote to place a proposal to adopt the tax rate on the agenda of a future meeting as an action item. Although the County has been unable to provide us with the exact effective tax rate calculation due to not having software that includes the most recent Legislative changes, the estimated effective tax rate is lower than the proposed tax rate of 57¢. As a reminder, the effective tax rate is the rate that would be applied to the July 2005 property tax values that would provide the same amount of revenue as last year. The Finance staff is working with Tarrant County on the effective tax rate calculation. Staff hopes to have this information prior to the City Council meeting. State law further requires that a municipality hold two public hearings if the proposed tax rate exceeds the effective tax rate. The first tax rate public hearing is proposed to be held on August 22, 2005 with the second public hearing proposed for September 12, 2005. We will have a one week window to adopt the tax rate. State law requires that a tax rate be adopted no sooner than 7 days after the second public hearing and no later than 14 days after the second public hearing. It is proposed that the tax rate be adopted at the September 26 Council meeting. After proposing a tax rate and scheduling the two public hearings, the City must notify the public of the hearings.

With proper limitations, Staff believes that this revenue source should be further explored. In order to proceed, Sec. 71.005, Texas Natural Resources Code requires that a finding be made by the City Council that it is advisable for the City to lease city land for mineral development. After that, Staff will need to develop bid specifications and publish once a week for three consecutive weeks notice of intent to lease and request bids.
