P & Z Minutes
Chairman Shiflet stated that items 7 and 8 will be heard together. He opened the Pubic
Hearing and asked the applicant to come forward.
Ernest Hedgecoth, 5701 C Midway Road, Haltom City, TX came forward representing
Galen and Jane Dinkel on the zoning and replat requests. He said it is a vacant lot
where they want to build their residence including adding the water and sewer across
Rumfield. He mentioned that the non-compliant fence will be removed after the
construction is completed and replaced with whatever meets the code.
Don Bowen asked if this was the property that had the old barn and stock pond on it at
one time?
Ernest Hedgecoth said yes, there was still a barn on it, but no pond.
Eric Wilhite said the zoning change request is from AG to R-1-S and is 1.93 acres. This
is nearly an acre larger than the minimum requirement for R-1-S zoning. Mr. Wilhite
stated the Comprehensive Land Use Plan does identify this area for low density
residential. There have been other cases across Rumfield Road that have come before
P & Z and City Council to build their primary residences there. Staff has reviewed the
Zoning Change and recommends approval.
Mr. Wilhite stated that the Zoning Change and the Final Plat meet all the subdivision
rules and regulations and Staff recommends approval.

P & Z Minutes
Chairman Shiflet opened the Public Hearing and stated that there was a letter submitted
requesting that the case be opened and continued until the next meeting.
Ernest Hedgecoth came forward stating that they are working with the Public Works
Department on the drainage for the preliminary and final plat and wish to run the cases
at the same time.
Dianna Madar motioned to continue ZC 2009-06 until the next meeting. Don
Bowen seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously (6-0).
10.
TR 2009-05
Consideration of Amending Chapter 102: "Floods and Stormwater Management"
of the North Richland Hills Code of Ordinances by adding a new article, Article V:
"Erosion and Sediment Control".
Greg VanNeiuwenhuize came forward stated that this ordinance was necessary with the
adoption of the Clean Water Act. The State of Texas was able to successfully negotiate
with the EPA which administers the national program. The State of Texas could enforce
their regulations in the state without having federal authority. It was successfully
transferred from the federal government to the state in 1998. The state is so large there
was no possible way to have state wide adoption of all the regulations. The Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality allowed cities to adopt a five year program
allowing us to slowly adopt, then at year five be in complete compliance with the
pollution elimination system.
One of the items the City of North Richland Hills has to adopt is an ordinance that would
regulate erosion and sediment control. The ordinance will include the following:
properties that are going to disturb 500 square foot of ground or more, complying with
TECQ regulations, developers to initially get a site development permit along with
erosion control plan, inspection requirements and enforcement vision.
Bill Schopper, seconded by Steven Cooper, motioned to approve TR 2009-05 as
proposed. The motion carried unanimously (6-0).
