Public Hearing and Consideration of a Request from Thomas Andrews for a
Zoning Change from "AG" Agricultural to "R -1 -S" Special Single Family on a
portion of Tract 13A2 in the T. Peck Survey (located at 8500 Clay Hibbins Road — 2
acres.)
Chairman Shiflet opened the Public Hearing and asked the applicant to come forward.
Thomas Andrews, 6020 Parker Blvd, #2202, NRH, requests to change the property at
8500 Clay Hibbins Road from AG to R -1 -S in order to construct a new single family
residence.
Eric Wilhite stated the zoning change request from AG to R -1 -S. The exhibit indicates
and shows the entire holdings of the current owners of the property right now. This
request is to rezone the portion on the upper part of the exhibit so that Mr. Andrews can
construct his single family residence. The current property owners have also submitted
a Preliminary Plat, which is the following case, for both of these lots and will eventually
come in with a final plat for Mr. Andrews' lot. Mr. Wilhite stated the Comprehensive
Land Use Plan indicates low density residential for this area so it meets regulations and
Staff recommends approval.
Chairman Shiflet asked if anyone wished to speak for or against? Seeing none he
closed the Public Hearing and entertained a motion.
APPROVED
Mark Haynes, seconded by Bill Schopper, motioned to approve ZC 2010 -03. The
motion was carried unanimously (4 -0).

PP 2010 -01
Consideration of a Request from Thomas Andrews to Approve a Preliminary Plat
of Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, Barrett - Andrews Addition (located at 8500 Clay Hibbins
Road — 4.8487 acres.)
Eric Wilhite stated this is a Preliminary Plat for 4.84 acres which will subdivide what is
now a single unplatted tract. The zoning change on the previous agenda item and
recommended to City Council for approval is indicated on this exhibit as Lot 1, and is a
two acre lot. The city's engineer has reviewed this plat and there is rough proportionality
determination of approximately $15,015 of which will cover curb and gutter and concrete
sidewalks in the future, $5,607 is for Lot 1 that will come back in and eventually be
preliminary platted. The applicant will work this out with Public Works and secure those
funds for future improvements. It meets all the subdivision rules and regulations and
staff recommends approval.
Bill Schopper asked about the drainage problems on adjacent properties and is this
going to take care of these issues?

P & Z Minutes
Eric Wilhite stated staff is reviewing and addressing this issue the best possible way
with this plat request. More will happen during the final plat, there is a15 ft. drainage
easement on the back side of the lot being dedicated with future improvements planned
in this area.
Chairman Shiflet asked about the property behind Lot 1 showing "owner unknown."
Eric Wilhite said that is correct and they are working with the owner further to the south,
it is some transition of title work and is not part of this Lot 1 or 2 ownership. Public
Works is working with the owner to secure the easement sooner than later because
nothing has been triggered for him to plat at this time so maybe there can be a separate
instrument executed for the easement.
APPROVED
Don Bowen, seconded by Mark Haynes, motioned to approve PP 2010 -01. The
motion was carried unanimously (4 -0).

ZC 2010 -04
Public Hearing and Consideration of a Request from the City of North Richland
Hills for a Zoning Change from "AG" Agricultural and 11 1 -1" Light Industrial to "U"
Institutional on Tract 3C in the L.C. Walker Survey and Block 1, Hansard -Lewis
Addition (located at the southeast corner of Hawk Ave. and Bud Jensen Dr. —
10.3806 acres.)
Chairman Shiflet opened the Public Hearing and asked the applicant to come forward
Bill Thornton, Assistant Director of Parks and Recreation for the City of North Richland
Hills, 2504 Hillside Ct, Southlake, TX came forward. He is representing the City to
request to change the zoning on a 10.38 acre tract from" AG and 1 -1 to U" for the
purpose of design and construction of the city's new recreation center. The southern
property line for the 10.38 tract is the northern property line for the Public Library site.
While the Public Library will continue to enjoy Town Center zoning, our intent is to blur
the property line between the library and future recreation center, crafting a continuous
development accommodating pedestrian access creating an urban core between the
two sites. The site plan has been submitted and is being reviewed and we are working
to complete construction documents. He said they want to have a ground breaking in
October 2010 or soon thereafter. The engineering drawings are being completed which
will accompany a final plat submittal in late August.
Eric Wilhite said this 10.38 acre tract is requested to be rezoned from "AG and 1 -1" for
the development of the new Recreation Center and Staff recommends approval.
Chairman Shiflet asked if there was anyone wishing to speak for or against? Seeing
none he closed the Public Hearing and entertained a motion.
