RP 2009-03
Public Hearing and Consideration of a request from Scott Watrous to replat Lots
17 and 18, Block 1, W.E. Odell Addition into Lot 17R, Block 1, W.E. Odell Addition
located at 8029 and 8105 Odell Street.
Roger Hart, 135 Sheffield Drive, Fort Worth, TX, with Area Surveying came forward
representing Mr. and Mrs. Watrous. They own both lots and wish to combine into one
to build a home on.
Eric Wilhite stated this residential replat is located on Odell Street and has two lots that
have never been built on. Several other lots in the area have homes that have been
recently built. The tots are zoned R-3 but the lot they are creating will far exceed the
minimum lot requirements in width and depth in order for them to build a single family
detached dwelling on it. It is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and
with what has already been built, therefore Staff recommends approval.
Chairman Shiflet opened the Public Hearing and asked if there was anyone wishing to
speak for or against. There being none, he closed the Public Hearing and entertained a
motion.
APPROVED
Bill Schopper motioned to approve RP 2009-03,
seconded by Mik® Benton. The motion was carried unanimously ij4-0).
7.
Consideration of a Request from the City of North Richland Hills Public Works
Department to Approve a Revised Version of the Public Works Design Manual.
Caroline Waggoner came forward stating the Public Works Design Manual is the
document by which both developers and the City goes by for construction for new public
infrastructure. It was last updated in 2007 and prior to that it had been 12 years since
the last update. New federal and state guidelines have caused us to be aware of the
need to clarify some existing requirements in the current manual. There are also some
improved development standards as well. The manual has been sent out to active
developers and engineers in the City to solicit their feedback. The manual was
presented to P&Z and City Council in June for discussion and consideration.
