Replat of Lots 4 through 7, Lots 12 through 18, Richland Oaks Addition,
First Filing; and Part of Lot 1, Block C, Part of Lots 3, 5, and 6, Block A,

Chairman Brock opened the Public Hearing and called for those wishing
to speak in favor of the request to come forward.
Mr. Ross Calhoun, of Herman Smith & Co., 1903 Central Drive, Bedford,
came forward to speak. He stated they are platting approximately 23
acres of land in several lots. He stated the property is generally
bounded by Strummer on the west and by Pace on the east. He stated
they have revised the plat in accordance to the City engineer1s requests
and have agreed to all engineering comments. Mr. Calhoun stated they
have provided for additional right-ot-way on Strummer Drive tor a tive-
lane road and a deceleration lane. He stated they are proposing a
service entrance on the north property line. He stated that Terry
Mitchell, P.E., ot Carter and Burgess, was here to answer any questions.
Chairman Brock asked Mr. Calhoun if they have agreed to all the
engineering comments.
Mr. Calhoun stated yes.
Mr. Barfield asked since the deceleration lane is about three hundred
teet trom the north property line, did that mean there would be an
entrance to the property three hundred teet trom the north property line.
PZ Minutes - Page 2
22 October 92
Mr. Calhoun stated it would basically be like a fire lane, about 25-feet
wide.
Mr. Barfield asked if it would be three hundred teet trom the north
property line or on the north property line.
Mr. Calhoun stated that it will be in excess ot three hundred feet south of
the north property line. He stated that city staff had requested that any
entrance to the property be in excess ot three hundred feet.
Mr. Barfield stated there was some concern from neighbors about
headlights shining in people1s houses at night as shoppers exit. He
stated he would like to see the exit trom that property located between
houses.
Mr. Calhoun stated they will look into that problem and check on the
alignment of the exits.
Mr. Barfield asked if the landscaped buffer on the property to the north is
in the plans.
Mr. Calhoun stated they have a fifty foot setback on the north, and they
are prepared to meet the City codes and whatever the Council may
require.
Mr. Wilson asked if there were going to be power lines in the easement
on the north.
Mr. Calhoun stated there would be power, water, and possibly sewer.
Mr. Wilson asked what the low point between the ground and the power
lines would be.
Mr. Calhoun stated he did not know.
Mr. Baxter asked if they will be overhead power lines.
Mr. Calhoun stated he believed that to be the case. He stated they have
proposed to run the lines underground along Strummer since there will
be a landscaped berm.
Mr. Wilson stated his concern was how close the top of the fence would
be to the power lines.
Mr. Pence stated that there would be a minimum of 16 feet of clearance
from the ground to the bottom of the line.
Mr. Wilson stated his concern was that anyone climbing a 15-foot fence
could reach up and grab one of the power lines.
Mr. Calhoun stated they will do whatever the City code requires. He
stated they will provided funds for someone to exceed what the city
requires if that is the case.
Mr. Barfield asked if the buildings would be facing Strummer or east into
the shopping area.
PZ Minutes - Page 3
22 October 92
Mr. Calhoun stated they did not know at this time since they do not know
who the users are. He stated the general design has the buildings
fronting to the south, lining up with the Pace building. He stated they
have provided a front yard setback along Strummer in order to add
another building and possibly another entrance.
Mr. Barfield asked if the sides of the buildings would have the same
appearance as the front, so it would be architecturally pleasing to the
people across the street.
Mr. Calhoun stated yes, they are very sensitive to that issue. He stated
that when Circuit City was built, they were very concerned about the
appearance when people entered North Richland Hills, and demanded
that Circuit City screen their loading dock and landscape the area.
Mr. Baxter asked what the plans were for the berm along Strummer.
Mr. Calhoun stated the original plan had a 40-foot berm. He stated they
have saved a large clump of pine trees for a sitting area. He stated the
additional setbacks along Strummer may decrease the original plan
somewhat.
Chairman Brock called for anyone else wishing to speak in favor to come
forward. There being none, he called for those wishing to speak in
opposition or in general to come forward.
Mr. Joe McCarthy, 5001 Strummer Drive, came forward to speak. He
stated that he hopes this development is the most successful in the
country .
Chairman Brock stated that Mr. McCarthy has submitted a letter and a
petition to the Commission, and that they have received and read.
Mr. Harvey Greenwald, 5016 Strummer Drive, came forward to speak.
He stated his property borders the entire north edge of the proposed
shopping center. He thanked the Commission for being available to hear
the citizen1s concerns. He stated his concern is the fence between the
properties. He stated they were looking for a 15-foot chain link fence
along the border to keep people from coming over onto their property.
He stated they were also concerned about noise, vermin, and air quality.
Mr. Greenwald stated that a chain link fence with extensive shrubbery
would be the best solution. He stated they want their quality of life to
remain as it is.
Mr. Barfield asked why a chain link fence is more acceptable than a brick
fence.
Mr. Greenwald stated they have originally suggested a brick wall, but
that they are very expensive, and Herman Smith would not want to
spend that kind of money. He stated a chain link fence would not require
a similar foundation. He stated to meet a compromise, they went along
with a chain link tence with shrubbery. He stated the shrubbery would
be about 12-feet high.
Chairman Brock asked Mr. Greenwald if he had met with Mr. Calhoun
about the fence.
PZ Minutes - Page 4
22 October 92
Mr. Greenwald stated he had met with City staff and officials. He stated
he did not meet with Mr. Smith.
Chairman Brock stated the height of the fence concerned him.
Mr. Greenwald stated the fence and the power lines are not directly
under one another.
Mr. Wilson stated his concern was a small child climbing the tence could
reach up and touch it.
Mr. Greenwald stated the wires are not directly adjacent to the fence.
He stated the best solution would be to put the wires underground, for
aesthetic and safety reasons.
Mr. Lueck asked how the 15-foot height came up.
Mr. Greenwald stated they were originally wanting a 24-foot fence. He
stated the 15-foot was a compromise.
Mr. Lueck asked if there was any reason for 15 feet.
Mr. Greenwald stated police associations have stated that fence heights
over 12 feet tend to deter people from climbing over. He stated the
groups were the state police (Texas Rangers) and the National Police
Association.
Chairman Brock stated that since the Commission was not privy to all
the discussions concerning this project and the location of the power
lines, that they could make the recommendation that a screening fence
be required, and the height to be determined by Council.
Mr. Miller asked if Mr. Greenwald was wanting shrubbery or trees.
Mr. Greenwald stated he was looking for a solid living fence. He stated
he could not make any suggestions concerning plant types since there
are people more qualified to do so.
Mr. Moody asked about the expense of maintaining that shrubbery.
Mr. Greenwald stated it depends upon the kind of shrubbery used.
Mr. Alfred Stanford, 5101 Pearl, came torward to speak. He asked
about the drainage along the unlined creek in the area. He stated a lot
of silt builds up in the creek bed.
Chairman Brock stated that the City staff and the Commission has spent
a great deal ot time looking at the drainage on and off of this property.
Mr. LeBaron stated the engineering department has looked at this
problem extensively and are satisfied that the city·s requirements have
been met.
Mr. Stanford stated it drains really well, but where the concrete begins it
tends to hold water back.
PZ Minutes - Page 5
22 October 92
Mr. LeBaron stated that this particular project has provided a relief
mechanism so that the water does not back up to the north.
Mr. Stanford stated it has done a good job, but there are still areas prone
to flooding.
Mr. LeBaron stated that the project has been designed to accommodate
the 1 OQ-year flood. He stated there is an escape mechanism just in
case.
Mr. Stanford asked who he could see about dredging tor silt.
Mr. LeBaron stated to contact the Public Works department, or to
contact him or Mr. Husband.
There being no one else wishing to speak, Chairman Brock closed the
Public Hearing.
Mr. Barfield asked what could be done to put stipulations on architectural
controls of the buildings facing Strummer, and what the current
screening requirements are between commercial and residential
properties.
Mr. LeBaron stated a wood stockade fence of at least six feet in height is
required to screen the commercial from the residential. He stated the
proposed living fence is a sound idea, but the regulations only require a
wood fence. He stated that the city has no mechanisms to control the
architectural integrity of structures.
Mr. Barfield asked if that could be put into the platting.
Mr. LeBaron stated no.
Mr. Lueck asked if the Commission could recommend that the developer
look at the placement of the curb cuts to avoid lights shining into homes.
Mr. LeBaron stated that is normally done at the time of building permit
application, and the staff could look at that if desired by the Commission,
but it cannot be attached as a stipulation to the plat.
Chairman Brock stated that it is in the record, and it will be passed along
to City Council.
Mr. LeBaron stated that the building configuration was not set out at the
beginning of this project, and that is why staff recommended a twenty-
five foot building line along Strummer. He stated this would take into
account any development that might come along.
Mr. Wilson asked if the Ordinance stated a maximum height requirement
for fences.
Mr. LeBaron stated that eight feet is the maximum allowed by ordinance.
Chairman Brock stated it may not be necessary to incorporate anything
about the tence in the motion.
Mr. Lueck stated it will be in the minutes.
PZ Minutes - Page 6
22 October 92
Mr. Baxter asked what the width of the easement is at the north end of
the property.
Mr. Mitchell there is at least thirty feet of easements, one tifteen toot was
required by the utility companies.
Mr. Baxter stated the screening requirements sound similar to the
discussions recently concerning Vehicle Storage Facilities. He stated it
is possible to stick fairly close to the 600/0 coverage on this fence as well.
Mr. LeBaron stated the ordinance also requires a greenbelt between
these properties as well, in addition to the screening.
Mr. Baxter asked what width of greenbelt is required.
Mr. LeBaron stated it varies from five to ten feet depending on whether it
is a rear or side property line. He stated it would depend upon the
placement of the buildings on the lot, and the determination would be
made at the time of the building permit application.
Mr. Miller asked how tall the fence would need to be in the line of sight
from the residence to the commercial buildings.
Chairman Brock stated that he didn't think a motion was needed to
stipulate the height of the fence. He stated that should be left to the
Council. He stated they have more information than the Commission.
Mr. Baxter stated he is concerned about the precedent being set by
allowing very tall chain link fences.
Mr. Barfield made the motion to approve PS 92-23, subject to engineer's
comments. Mr. Barfield stated for the record that consideration of curb
cuts be given to keep headlights from shining into homes across the
street, that an architecturally pleasing facade along Strummer Drive be
adhered to, and that an agreeable fencing arrangement be worked out
with Mr. Greenwald.
Mr. Lueck seconded the motion, and the motion carried 7-0.
2. PS 92-22
Public Hearing to consider the request of the City of North Richland Hills
for a Replat of Lots 1 and 32, Block G, Richland Oaks Addition. This
property is located along Bedford Euless Road, between Nevada Trail
and Eldorado Drive.
Chairman Brock opened the Public Hearing and called for those wishing
to speak in favor of the request to come forward.
Mr. LeBaron stated these are two lots that were purchased by the City
as part of the widening of Bedford Euless Road. He stated this replat is
being made essentially tor the purpose ot dedicating an extra thirty feet
of right-of-way. He stated that one of the houses encroaches the
building line by 2.8 feet, and that Commission approval will essentially
give the variance that the Board of Adjustment would be giving. He
stated the Commission would be acknowledging them and recognizing
them, and it will avoid any confusion on future loan closings on this
property.

Chairman Brock called for those wishing to speak in opposition to the

north side of Ft. Worth they are looking at. He stated this is basically a
store front location.
Mr. Wilson asked what type of equipment is in the shop.
Mr. Klofenstein stated they have some computers that cut vinyl. He
stated there is no chemicals involved in the process.
Mr. Wilson asked if everything is assembled inside the shop.
Mr. Klotenstein stated yes.
Mr. Ken Cook, owner ot Discount Signs, came forward to speak. Mr.
Cook stated they do some 4x8 signs, but they only apply vinyl to it. He
stated they moved into the shopping center because they do a lot ot
work for them. He thanked Mr. Pence and Mr. Husband for allowing
them to do what they have been able to do.
Mr. Wilson asked Mr. Cook if he had a business at a location near the

schools, churches, and other organizations.

22 October 92
There being no one else wishing to speak, Chairman Brock closed the
Public Hearing.
Mr. Bowen stated that the only question to consider is whether this
center should be C-2 Commercial. He stated it would be unfair not to
rezone it since the surrounding centers are C-2.
Mr. Bowen made the motion to approve PZ 92-33. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Miller, and the motion carried 7-0.
4. PZ 92-34

Mr. Ron Dromgoole, 7001 Smithfield Road, came torward to speak. He
stated they bought the property about one year ago and have cleaned it
up considerably. He stated they would like to have some livestock on
the property. He stated the original property owners had livestock on the

Chairman Brock stated this property was originally agriculture and was
rezoned R-2.
Mr. Dromgoole stated they have cleaned up the property. He stated

Mr. Stephen Floyd, 7805 Briardale Court, came forward to speak. He
stated his property backs up to the property under consideration. He
stated his concern was that the fences were not suitable for cattle. He
asked if the zoning would allow for an unlimited number of cattle.
Chairman Brock asked Mr. LeBaron if there was a limit on the number of
animals they could have on the lot.
Mr. LeBaron stated not in the zoning ordinance, but there might be in the
health code.
Mr. Pence stated there are animal control ordinances that would deal
with that.
Chairman Brock asked if it dealt with chickens or roosters.
PZ Minutes - Page 9
22 October 92
Mr. Pence stated it would only address the distances the animals must
be trom other residential property.
Mr. LeBaron stated the zoning ordinance states you must have at least
one acre.
Ms. Dromgoole stated they have many animals, including chickens, pot
bellied pigs, and a tiger, and they have permits for all of them. She
stated the roosters have been butchers. She stated this zoning is only
for cows and horses. She stated she has two calves on the property.
Mr. Wilson asked Ms. Dromgoole if she said she has a tiger.
Ms. Dromgoole stated yes, and they have a permit from the State.
Mr. Bowen stated the zoning ordinance says livestock or fowl, subject to
Chapter 4 of the Code of Ordinances.
Ms. Susie Gorbett-McGee, 6940 Briardale Drive, came forward to speak.
She stated she is representing many of the residents on Briardale Drive,
Briardale Court, and Noneman Drive. She presented a petition with 35
signatures. She stated that the Dromgooles have done a wonderful job
of cleaning up the property. She stated they have many animals on only
5 acres of land. She stated it is not considered country anymore, it is
part of the city. She stated she doesn't want any more animals on the
property. She stated the chickens poke through the fence. She stated
the residents don't need a tarm in that area.
Chairman Brock asked Ms. Gorbett-McGee if she thinks what is there
now is fine, but she does not want anymore.
Ms. Gorbett-McGee stated yes, that should be enough for anyone in the
confines of the city.
Chairman Brock asked if there was a total amount of animals someone
could have on their property.
Mr. LeBaron stated he was not sure, but the zoning ordinance just refers
to Chapter 4 of the Code of Ordinances.
Ms. Gorbett-McGee stated she understands the request to be that they
are requesting the zoning in order to have more animals than are already
there.
Mr. Bowen stated what they have there right now is illegal. He stated
what they are asking for is to go to a legal zoning.
Ms. Garbett-McGee stated that if the zoning will allow more than what is
there, then that needs to not happen. She stated there are too many
animals back there for five acres, and it is not tair to the animals.
Chairman Brock asked Ms. Dromgoole if they plan to put any more
animals on the property.
Ms. Dromgoole stated no, and the property is 6.3 acres, not 5 acres.
She stated there are tour dogs outside and one house dog, not six dogs.
PZ Minutes - Page 10
22 October 92
She stated the dogs have kennels. She stated the Bengal tiger is
regulated through the State, and the State and City come out every six
months to inspect it. She stated the cage that the tiger is in is well above
zoo qualifications. She stated the chickens are in the barn and have
never been allowed to run loose. Ms. Dromgoole stated the animals on
the property are treated very well.
Mr. Bowen stated the petition has a standing with the City Council, but
he is unsure of what the numbers are.
Mr. Husband stated that if 20% of the property owners signatures in the
200-foot notification area are on the petition, then the vote by the City
Council to pass the request would go from a simple majority to a 3/4
majority.
Ms. Tammy Pucceralla, 7008 Briardale Drive, came forward to speak.
She stated her house is directly behind the barn. She stated there have
been many problems with insects and rodents since the animals have
been there. She stated she was happy with the zoning of that property
when they bought their house. She stated her concerns over the odor in
the summer. She stated she chose to live in the city, not the country.
Mr. Scott Carlson, 7024 Smithfield Road, came forward to speak. He
stated he was not in opposition, but he wanted to address the fencing of
the animals. He stated they have had a lot of dogs out on the road and
in their trash.
Chairman Brock stated that dog problems are not really the purpose of
this case; everyone has dog problems.
Mr. Carlson stated that if they have livestock, he wanted to ensure that
the fencing was adequate for them.
Ms. Barbara Polk, 716 Koen Lane, Euless, came forward to speak. She
stated she is the owner of property at 7004 Briardale. She stated she is
a real estate broker. Ms. Polk stated the property has been rental
property. She stated she was unaware of the tiger. She stated the
property has been vacant for three months. She stated her concern over
the tiger.
There being no one else wishing to speak, Chairman Brock closed the
Public Hearing.
Chairman Brock stated when considering this case, the tiger issue
cannot come into play. It is not part of this request.
Mr. Wilson asked what the fencing requirement for R-1-S is versus R-2.
Mr. LeBaron stated there are none.
Mr. Wilson asked if there were any fencing requirements for keeping
animals such as livestock.
Mr. LeBaron stated there are none that are regulated through the zoning
ordinance. He stated if there were, they would be in the health code.
Mr. Bowen asked about Chapter 4 of the health code.
PZ Minutes - Page 11
22 October 92
Mr. Pence stated that the code says that any undomesticated animal
must be kept at least 100 feet away from any residential structure.
Mr. Bowen stated that is not an issue in this zoning, but if the zoning
were approved, it would become an enforcement issue.
Mr. Pence stated that would fall under animal control.
Mr. Lueck asked Mr. Dromgoole if he knew there was an outstanding lien
on the property.
Ms. Dromgoole asked what the lien was for.
Mr. LeBaron stated it is an outstanding mowing lien.
Ms. Dromgoole stated that was done before they bought the property
and she thought that it would be attached to that owner.
Mr. LeBaron stated that the lien is attached to the property, and when
you assume the property, you assume the lien as well.
Ms. Dromgoole stated they bought the property with a barn and a stock
tank. She stated they had to buy a large mower to mow it and farm
equipment to take care of it. She stated if they go to sell the property,
they would have to tell the buyer that they couldn1 keep a horse on it.
She stated why would anyone buy almost 7 acres of land just to mow.
Chairman Brock stated that most neighbors were not concerned with
what was there now, they were concerned with more and more animals.
Ms. Dromgoole stated they have no plans to add anything else. She
stated the whole issue came up because of animal control and the two
cows. She stated the cows will be gone in March.
Mr. Baxter asked what the minimum lot size on R-1-S.
Mr. LeBaron stated one acre.
Mr. Barfield stated that this property was there before any of those
houses, and at one time there was about 25-30 sheep on the property.
He stated that this property was not zoned to R-2 at the owner's request,
and they need to consider that when voting. He stated it was used for
agricultural purposes for many years.
Mr. Lueck stated that the number of animals or obnoxious odors are
under a different rule of law than what is being considered tonight. He
stated there is an avenue available tor taking care of those issues.
Mr. Bowen made the motion to deny PZ 92-34. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Wilson, and the motion carried 4-3, with Mr. Bowen,
Mr. Wilson, Mr. Baxter, and Mr. Miller voting for denial; and Chairman
Brock, Mr. Lueck, and Mr. Barfield voting against denial.
Mr. LeBaron stated if the applicant wishes to appeal the decision to the
City Council, they should come in and see the City Secretary.

5. PZ 92-35
Public Hearing to consider the request of Volkman Inc. to rezone Lots
19-R-3 and 19-R-4, Block 33, Holiday West Addition from its present
zoning classification of C-1 Commercial to PD Planned Development.
This property is located on the south side of Buenos Aires Drive, at the
intersection of Westchase Drive.
Chairman Brock opened the Public Hearing and called for those wishing
to speak in tavor of the request to come torward.
Mr. John Volkman, representing Volkman Inc. and the Bank of
Commerce, came forward to speak. He stated he was seeking some
input on the property on Buenos Aires. He stated the property has an
unworkable zoning. He stated there is a car wash to the west,
apartments to the north and south, and single family homes to the east.
Mr. Volkman stated they would like to zone it as a PD, and use it as a
buffer between the car wash and single tamily. He stated they would like
to put a duplex next to the car wash, and then several fifty-foot lots for
single family homes. He stated the property is too far trom Rufe Snow to
benetit as commercial, and surrounding uses make it unusable for any
large single family lots. He stated that he is seeking input from the
Commission to see if that is a workable project.
There being no one else wishing to speak in favor or in opposition to the
request, Chairman Brock closed the Public Hearing.
Chairman Brock stated that the property is too far off of Rufe Snow for
commercial use, and that the Planned Development approach may be
the best one tor this property.
Mr. LeBaron stated that the Planned Development proposal allows the
Commission to consider developments that do not fit in the traditional
zoning districts. He stated that the packet is not complete tor a normal
planned development, since it does not have a site plan. He stated the
Commission might recommend that Mr. Volkman come back with a more
complete proposal, however the proposal is fairly spelled out. Mr.
LeBaron stated that the Commission could waive the rest of the
traditional planned development requirements. He stated the four-acre
minimum could be waived. He stated the site plan requirement could
also be waived since they are talking about a single duplex and tour or
five houses. He stated Mr. Volkman would have to come back with a
replat since the property is not subdivided to conform to the request. He
stated the Commission would have to establish the development
regulations on this property and spell it out in the ordinance. Mr.
LeBaron stated that these could be worked out with Mr. Volkman, and he
could come back next time with a full packet.
Mr. Lueck stated he would be more comfortable with a full packet, but he
has no problem with what is being presented.
Mr. Barfield asked if the Commission approves this request, if they will
see the final regulations.
Mr. LeBaron stated no, but if the Commission could wait two more
weeks, staff and Mr. Volkman could work out the details and present
them to the Commission at the next meeting.

STAFF REPORT
CITIZEN COMMENTS
ADJOURNMENT
Mr. Barfield stated the planned development is probably the ideal
approach, but he does not want to start a precedent by forgetting all the
requirements in the ordinance. He stated he would like to tighten up as
many as possible, but leave a good deal of flexibility in design.
Chairman Brock stated that if anyone has any negative comments, to
bring them up; otherwise, the Commission can give Mr. Volkman a
general approval of the concept. He stated the Commission should table
this item until next time so staff can work out the details.
Mr. Lueck made the motion to table PZ 92-35 until the next meeting.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Barfield, and the motion carried 7-0.
None.
A person asked what the property on Lots 1 and 32 in Block G were
going to be used for.
Chairman Brock stated they will remain as single family homes.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
