Chairman Bowen opened the Public Hearing and called for those wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. William Stolberg, 13422 Blossomheath Lane, Dallas, came forward to represent NRH Joint Venture. He stated this was a 12.145 acre tract with 3.5 acres of Agriculture sandwiched between the Commercial. Mr. Wood asked what they plan to do with the property. Mr. Stolberg said they do not plan to develop at the present time. He said they thought it was all commercial when they bought the property. . Chairman Bowen called for those wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward. Stephen Grove, 7808 Arthur, came forward. He stated he was in opposition to this request because he does not know what they plan to do with the property. He said they do not want multi-family. He said he would rather see R-2, R-3, or R-4 go in there. Mr. Grove said there are plans for Watauga Road to be a divided road, but Smithfield Road is a small road and does not feel it should be commercial. He said he felt it would lower the property value and he just does not want multi-family. Chairman Bowen said they could not build multi-family in C-l zoning. Mr. Grove said he had several on his street who are in opposition to this request and they would like to get it zoned residential. . Mr. Wood asked where his property was. Mr. Grove showed Mr. Wood. ~ Page 4 P & Z Minutes May 9, 1985 . Mr. Wood said Mr. Grove's property already backs up to commercial. Mr. Grove asked if the Commission could control what goes in there. Mr. Tucker said the only things that can go in there are listed under C-l in the Zoning Ordinance. He said C-l is basicly retail. Chairman Bowen stated that Watauga Road is planned as Conet Boulevard which will be a divided 6-lane road and Smithfield Road is planned to be 4 lanes and he felt commercial was the best use of the land. Chairman Bowen closed the Public Hearing. . PZ 85-41 APPROVED Mr. Wood made the motion to approve PZ 85-41. This motion was seconded by Mr. Tucker and the motion carried 5-0. Chairman Bowen stated the following eight (8) zoning requests are located in the northern part of the city generally east and west of Davis Boulevard at its intersection with Shady Grove Road.

Long, Consulting Engineer and part owner of the property, came forward. He said on Tract 1, they reduced the size and are asking again for commercial zoning; Tract 3 is another tract they are requesting commercial on where Wilson Lane comes through; Tract 5, they are requesting office zoning which they feel will be more appropriate; Tract 6, they are requesting from C-1 to 0-1 to square up the area. Mr. Long said on Tract 8, they previously requested R-3, but revised it to R-2 and added 13 more acres to it; Tract 17, they are requesting R-4-SD to use as a buffer. He said they had previously just used the gas line as a buffer; Tract 18, they revised to office zoning after talking to the adjacent property owners; and Tract 19, they are requesting R-3. . Cliff Stevens, 9201 Kirk Lane, came forward. He said he did not know if he was for or against this request until he found out what plans they have for the drainage of this property. He showed pictures of high water in the area around bear creek. Mr. Stevens said he and his sister own 40 acres and Bear Creek goes across the corner of their land. He said they have gone into Stonybrook and dug a line and now Stonybrook drains down there. Mr. Stevens said he had the property since 1944 and had no problem with the drainage until development started. He said his main concern was what they planned to do with the water. He said he might have to get him a houseboat. . Chairman Bowen stated the drainage would have to be resolved during the platting process and they would have to satisfy the City Engineer and Mr. Royston. Mr. Stevens said nothing had been done in the past. ~ Page 7 P & Z Minutes May 9, 1985 . Mr. Tucker said the city now has a Master Drainage Plan and asked Mr. Royston to explain what would be required. Mr. Royston said when they platted the property, they would be required to submit drainage plans for the site which would have to meet the city's requirements. Mr. Royston stated the city now has a Master Drainage Plan to go by and now knows what must be done. He said the city spent $150,000 to obtain this. Mr. Stevens stated he was not against development, but did not want to be flooded out. . Carol Bentley, 8637 Timber Drive, came forward. She said the side of her property will be across the street from this office zoning request. Ms. Bentley said she appreciated the way the Commission had worked with them in putting the stipulation that the property not be developed until Wilson Lane is in and they request this same stipulation on number 6. Roger Martin, 8633 Timber Drive, came forward. He said he would like to speak in favor of Tract #18 and would like to express his appreciation to the applicants who changed their request from commercial to office zoning. Mr. Martin stated they are without sewer and they would like to work with them and the city to get the sewer to their property. . John Barfield, part owner of the property, came forward. He said they are well aware of the water. He said he had been trying to buy land all the way to the creek. He said, in North Richland Hills, if you own the top of the hill, you need to also own the bottom of the hill. Mr. Barfield said ~ Page 8 p & Z Minutes May 9, 1985 . even though Mr. Stevens and Mr. Morrow are not willing to sell, they said they would work with us and we feel the water problem will be solved. Chairman Bowen called for those wishing to speak in opposition to these requests to please come forward. . Frank Yarbrough, 8144 Red Rose Trail, came forward to speak in opposition to a portion of Tract 6. He said when he bought his property in 1975, he knew some of the property there was zoned commercial. He said he does not object to commercial, but does not feel that anymore would benefit the neighborhood. Mr. Yarbrough said the homes in Cherokee Estates are approximately 2,000 square feet. He said the property is already platted and feel they should build homes there. Mr. Yarbrough said he felt this request would devaluate his property. Frank Balch, 8148 Red Rose Trail, came forward. He said he had some questions to ask: If most of the people are for this request, would it pass. Chairman Bowen said the Commission has to look at what is the best use of the land. Mr. Balch asked if most of the people are against it, would it be denied. Chairman Bowen said it would be the same token. Mr. Balch asked how much office zoning do we need. . Chairman Bowen said the Commission has just submitted a Master Plan to the City Council and there will be a need for office space. Page 9 p & Z Minutes May 9, 1985 . Mr. Balch asked how many office spaces are vacant in the city. Chairman Bowen said he could not answer that. Mr. Balch presented pictures of vacant office space in the city. Mr. Tucker said they have to make plans to construct the proper size of water and sewer to serve all this area. He said they have to anticipate the use for 10 years from now. Mr. Balch said they did not send him a correct plat. He said his home is on Lot lOR. He said Mr. Barfield bought property that was zoned and platted for single family. . Mr. Wood said Mr. Balch's house would be to the north of the proposed Wilson Lane, the property in question is to the south of Wilson Lane. Mr. Tucker said the road will split it up from the other property in the subdivision. Mr. Balch asked if this request is approved, would the Commission be personally responsible for the devaluation of their property. He said he knows a lot of property in the city where they have zoned commercial near it and the people could not sell it. Mr. Balch said he is against cutting any residential lots out of a subdivision. He said they knew they were zoned and platted for single family when they bought them. . Nelson Miller, 8516 Shady Grove Road, came forward to represent Richland Hills Riding Club. He said he wants to speak in opposition to #8. Mr. Miller said they purchased this property which is zoned C-l Commercial Specific Use for a riding club in Page 10 P & Z Minutes May 9, 1985 . 1975. He said they already have 30 events scheduled. He said they must use lights for shows and practices. Mr. Miller said they have 100 families, approximately 300 people in the riding club which is also used for the 4H Club and the County 4H Club Horse shows. Mr. Miller stated the property is mostly used by youth. He said their motto was to promote the youth. Mr. Miller said they are 40 feet from their property line which would be the east side of this request. He said they use the lights till 11:30 P. M. and some time as late as 2:00 A. M. . Mr. Miller said it was stated at the City Council that there would be a trade. He said he had not heard of a trade and no one has made an offer. He said they would want to stay here. Mr. Wood asked if they would be agreeable to a trade. Mr. Miller said he would have to see it in writing. He said they do not want flood land. Mr. Long came forward. He said they would be glad to work with them, but are not sure where they would relocate them. Mr. Tucker said the Commission had to look at it as it is now. Mr. Miller said they feel their commercial property would not be compatible with this residential zoning. . Mr. Tucker stated they were running under a grandfather clause now. He said the Zoning Ordinance has been changed. He said if they asked for a building permit, they would find they have a problem. ~ Page 11 p & Z Minutes May 9, 1985 . Mr. Miller asked if the Commission preferred the riding club be out of this area. Mr. Tucker said no, but he was just telling them of the ordinance. Mr. Miller said he did not feel that residential would be compatible to them and would rather have commercial all around them. . Carol Bentley came forward. She said she wanted to speak in opposition to Tract 8 and she had a letter to read from Susie Jo Beebe, Organizational Leader for the Bronc Buster 4-H Club, who was unable to come tonight: " I regret that I was unable to attend this meeting tonight because of a district 4-H meeting. However, because of the importance of this issue, I have asked that this be read to the council. I serve in a volunteer capacity as the Organizational Leader of the Bronc Buster 4-H Club. This club is the only 4-H horse club in North Tarrant County. Through this club we have greatly increased the horsemanship skills of numerous 4-H and non-4-H members. Not only does 4-H teach horsemanship skills, but also teaches a child to be a responsible leader and a service to his or her community. Without the Richland Hills Riding Club and its facility, the task of 4-H would be much more difficult. The arena serves as a place at which the children can meet and practice learning the training skills they have learned. In addition, we use the arena for our annual horse show, and other county wide and even district wide horse activities. It is used by Texas A & m University at least twice a year for horsemanship clinics. I do understand that if the riding club is pushed aside or driven out in the name of progress, that it could relocate. . ~ Page 12 P & Z Minutes May 9, 1985 . . But the issue to us is the centrality of the facility. As I mentioned, the Bronc Buster 4-H Club is the only 4-H horse club in North Tarrant County. The others are in Arlington and Crowley. Our membership is made up of children from Keller, Colleyville, Smithfield, Watauga, North Richland Hills, Hurst, Haslet and even Euless. Nowhere else is there as nice a facility or a club as supportive of our 4-H club as the Richland Hills Riding Club. The 4-H club takes the responsibility of keeping the grounds clean and painted in appreciation for the riding club's support. Additionally, the riding club is in the process of trying to upgrade the facility to accommodate the many new members that are drawn to the club by its convenience and present facilities. The Bronc Buster 4-H Club would like to go on record in asking that the council consider allowing the Riding Club to continue operating at its present location. It serves too many citizens of Richland Hills, as well as surrounding communities to be forced to move to a remote corner of the county. Therefore, we would like to ask for a buffer zone between the R-2 houses that are proposed and the RHRC. This would keep the RHRC from becoming a nuisance." Mr. Wood said the Commission is not against the riding club. Ms. Bentley said someone made the statement at the last meeting that the property was too valuable for a riding club. She said you have your city parks, but no livestock are allowed. Ms. Bentley asked that there be a buffer zone to keep the riding club from being a problem to the residences. . Mr. Wood said he felt it should stay and no one wishes them to change. ~ Page 13 P & Z Minutes May 9, 1985 . Adriana Bellomy, 6912 Little Ranch Road, came forward. She said she was President of the Bronc Buster 4-H Club. She said you learn a lot being a member of this club. Ms. Bellomy said she had been a member for 4 years. She said she hoped they would always have a riding club and requested a buffer between the residential and the riding club. Roger Martin came forward. He said he wanted to ask one question about Tract 18. He asked if they planned to come in later and ask for commercial zoning on this tract. Mr. Long said they would not. Chairman Bowen closed the Public Hearing. . Tract 1 Mr. Tucker made the motion to approve PZ 85-42. This motion was seconded by Mr. Wood. The motion failed by a vote of 2-3 with Bowen, Nash, and Schwinger voting against. 4. PZ 85-42 DENIED Mr. Schwinger made the motion to deny PZ 85-42 because of the excessive amount of land. He said he felt they should reduce the property north of Shady Grove Road. This motion was seconded by Ms. Nash and the motion to deny carried 3-2 with Tucker and Wood voting against denial. 5. PZ 85-43 APPROVED Tract 3 Mr. Wood made the motion to approve PZ 85-43. This motion was seconded by Mr. Tucker and the motion carried 5-0. 6. PZ 85-44 APPROVED Tract 5 Mr. Tucker made the motion to approve PZ 85-44. This motion was seconded by Ms. Nash and the motion carried 5-0. . Page 14 P & Z Minutes May 9, 1985 . 7.

This motion was seconded by Ms. Nash and the motion carried 5-0. 9. PZ 85-47 APPROVED Tract 17 Mr. Tucker made the motion to approve PZ 85-47. This motion was seconded by Mr. Wood and the motion carried 5-0. 10. PZ 85-48 APPROVED Tract 18 Mr. Schwinger made the motion to approve PZ 85-48.

PZ 85-50 Request of Los Hombres Restaurant to rezone part of Lot 4R-2, Block 10, Snow Heights North Addition, from its present classification of C-2-Specific Use-Sale of Alcoholic Beverages to C-2-Specific Use-Sale of Alcoholic Beverages (Change of Ownership). This property is located at 5344 Rufe Snow Drive. . Chairman Bowen opened the Public Hearing and called for those wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. . . . ~ Page 15 P & Z Minutes May 9, 1985 Benny Cartell came forward. He said they were requesting the same as they had in the past. He said they hope the restaurant will improve and will be a nice family restaurant. Chairman Bowen said they would need the name of an individual for the Specific Use when they go to the City Council. Chairman Bowen called for those wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward. There being no one wishing to speak, the Chairman closed the Public Hearing. PZ 85-50 APPROVED Ms. Nash made the motion to approve PZ 85-50. This motion was seconded by Mr. Schwinger and the motion carried 5-0. 13. PZ 85-51 Request of Burk Collins, Inc. to rezone Tract 1, T.K. Martin Survey, Abstract 1055, from its present classification of AG (Agriculture) to R-5-D (Duplex). This property is located adjacent to the St. Louis and Southwestern Railroad at the eastern end of Odell Street. Chairman Bowen opened the Public Hearing and called for those wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. Burk Collins came forward. He said this is a 45 acre tract of land which has lots of problems. He said they tried to find the best zoning since most of it was in the flood plain and would cost a half million dollars to fix. Mr. Collins said he felt this was the best use of the property since it backs up to the railroad and Industrial zoning on the west. He said he had taken into consideration the property owners and has made Page 16 P & Z Minutes May 9, 1985 . buffers, R-2 next to Stonybrook and R-3 next to Odell Street. Mr. Collins said he met with the property owners and they requested he put up barricades on Stony brook Drive to keep out to cement trucks during the development. He said they also wanted him to see if he could have an exit across the rail road track. Mr. Collins stated the owner had been unable to sell this property. He said he wants to buy the property, clean it up and fix the flooding. . Dale Harman, 6521 Massey Court, came forward. He said he is in favor of this request with reservations. He said if it is going to be developed, he would prefer this plan rather than commercial or multi-family. Mr. Harman said his main concern is the flooding and the traffic. He said he would prefer it stay agriculture, green belt. Ed Nowlin, Timberline Court, came forward. He said after talking with Mr. Collins, he is in favor of the request with stipulations: that Stonybrook Drive be barricaded, that the property to the north be R-2. He said Odell street will not be able to handle the traffic so the main traffic will be through Stonybrook. Mr. Nowlin said he would like for Mr. Collins to make another exit across the railroad or through the commercial property. Chairman Bowen called for those wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward. . Mark Jackson, 8404 Donna Drive, came forward. He said he had just recently bought his house. He said he moved from an area where multi-family built around it. He said they would have the same problems. Page 17 P & Z Minutes May 9, 1985 . Frank Madden, 8620 Amundson, came forward. He said he is opposed to this request. He said you cannot get over the railroad; you cannot go under the railroad and he does not want you to go in his front yard. . v. L. Gibson, 8333 Odell Street, came forward. He said he had lived here for 33 years and is within 200 feet of this zoning request. Mr. Gibson said he did not feel duplexes were desirable. He said Odell Street and Stonybrook Drive cannot carry the traffic. He said he requests they build single family homes there. Mr. Gibson said he was not in favor of closing Stonybrook Drive because they would all have to go on Odell Street. Mr. Gibson said he did not want duplexes next to him. He asked what they would look like 10 years from now. A. J. James, 8408 Donna, came forward. He said he was against this request because of the traffic and the drainage. Lee Ann James, 8408 Donna, came forward. She said there are three ways to get out of Glenann Addition: Amundson, Martin, and Precinct Line Road which are all terrible. She said 45 acres is a lot of duplexes Ms. James said they already have some on Amundson which are an eyesore. Renee Hawkins, 8417 Donna Drive, came forward. She said her backyard backs up to this area. She said there would be traffic problems and would be an eyesore. Ms. Hawkins said it would be better for single family, but would still have traffic problems. . Larry McLain, 8428 Donna, came forward. He asked if this request was for duplex or single family. ~ Page 18 P & Z Minutes May 9, 1985 . Chairman Bowen said it was for R-5-D, Duplex. He said Mr. Collins is saying he will put a buffer of single family, but this request is for duplexes. Mr. McLain said nothing has been done to Amundson Road which dumps into Main Street. He said they had asked for a traffic light there, but the city asked if we knew how much a traffic light would cost. Mr. McLain asked how do they plan to get the people out of this area. He said if it would support duplexes, why wouldn't it support single family. Mr. Tucker said "Money". He said it would cost so much to fix the drainage, they would have to have a higher yield. Mr. McLain said he was concerned with the drainage. . Mr. Wood said the drainage, ingress, egress, etc. would be taken care of in the platting process. Mr. Tucker said they had to decide the best use of the land. He said their engineer would have to make it work. . Gerald Stewart, 8840 Main Street, came forward. He said they have a water problem on this swamp area. He said if they develop this property, it would push the water to the school. Mr. Stewart said access was a problem. He said there were traffic problems at Main and Amundson now and if they get an okay from the railroad for an access, it would accent the problem. Mr. Stewart said the access from Odell would be on a hill. He said the public services are bad in this area. He said he watched a house burn to the ground waiting for the fire department. Mr. Stewart said he does not agree with the 1,000 square foot duplexes. He asked if they intend to sell the duplexes or rent them. Mr. Stewart said the Master Plan states there would be 70% residential and 30% multi-family. He said he requests they postpone this request until these questions are answered. ~ Page 19 P & Z Minutes May 9, 1985 . Mike Eddings, 7000 Stonybrook, came forward. He said he moved out here to get a custom home and a swimming pool and he requests it be single family. J. H. Baker, 8336 Odell, came forward. He said his property would back up to his east fence. He said there would be 150 families with two cars a piece with the only exit out on Odell Street. He said when the field caught on fire, the fire truck got trapped. Mr. Baker said if they would propose to widen Odell street they would have to move the water and sewer lines. James Brook, 7120 Stonybrook, came forward. He said he was concerned with the speeding on Stonybrook and Hightower. . David Slay, 7128 Stonybrook, came forward. He said he only sees one exit and with 110 structures and 440 cars, he does not want that many coming down in front of his house. He said the 1,000 square feet duplexes were too small, would be a lower class of people and he is against the duplex request. . Mr. Collins came forward. He said they plan to rebuild Amundson Road and the other streets that join this property. He said he does not build the duplexes, he develops the subdivision and sells the lots. Mr. Collins said if you talk about an eyesore, the entrance on Odell is an eyesore, a junk yard. Mr. Collins said he talked to Mr. Gibson for 5 hours and gave him R-3 zoning next to Odell Street. Mr. Collins said they could get more money for duplex lots. He said he would not mind restricting the houses to be the same as in Stony brook. He said as for the flooding, they would have to conform to the city's flood control ordinance. . . . ~ Page 20 p & Z Minutes May 9, 1985 Mr. Gibson came forward. He said he told Mr. Collins he had not made up his mind. He said he has now made up his mind and he is against duplexes. Chairman Bowen closed the Public Hearing.
