The class size will be limited to 15 to 20 individuals who are city residents over the age of 18 years and the owners of city businesses. The class will meet on Thursday evenings for 6 to 8 weeks from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Mr. Miller gave an example of how the curriculum could be broken down into different sessions.

After a brief discussion, the consensus of the Council was to move forward with the Citizens Academy.

JOINT VENTURE FOR A ZONING CHANGE FROM C -1 COMMERCIAL, 0-1 OFFICE AND R -2 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL TO U INSTITUTIONAL ON APPROXIMATELY 12.294 ACRES IN THE 8200 BLOCK OF DAVIS BLVD. - ORDINANCE NO. 3198 (CONTINUED FROM THE MAY 14, 2012 COUNCIL MEETING) City Council Minutes June 25, 2012 Page 6 R7U:7G1T /=18l Mayor Trevino announced agenda items C.1, C.2 and C.3 were a continuance from the May 24, 2012 council meeting. Mayor Trevino opened the public hearings for Agenda Items C.1 (ZC 2012 -04), C.2 (ZC 2012 -05) and C.3 (RP 2012 -03) and called on the applicant to present the requests. Mr. Dustin Austin, 6505 Rock Springs Drive, North Richland Hills, representing B.H.L. Joint Venture, came forward. Mr. Austin presented a revised development plan that he felt resolved the issues expressed at the May 14 meeting. Mr. Austin briefly highlighted the revisions. Mr. Clayton Comstock, Senior Planner, briefed the Council on the three requests. ZC 2012 -04 is a zoning change from C -1 Commercial, 0-1 Office and R -2 Single Family Residential to U Institutional for approximately 12 acres. ZC 2012 -05 is a zoning change from 0-1 Office and R -3 Single Family Residential to R -2 Single Family Residential for 1.857 acres. RP 2012 -03 is a replat to create Thornbridge West consisting of 37 residential lots and 2 open spaces on 24.964 acres. On April 19 the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the zoning changes and on May 3 recommended approval of the replat with a cul de sac at the end of Timber Drive to be defined by city staff in cooperation with the neighborhood so the new development is not connected by a through street. On May 14 the City Council continued the three items to June 25 with direction to the developer to align the development's main entry along Davis Boulevard with Shadywood Lane to create safer conditions on Davis Boulevard. On June 21 the Planning and Zoning Commission reheard the cases and recommended approval of all three cases as presented by a vote of 6 -0. The May 14 replat proposal for the new development showed one public access off Davis Boulevard at Timber Drive and a connection to Clear Spring Drive from Timber Drive. The June 25 replat proposal shows a fully signalized intersection with a hike and bike trail crossing aligning with Shadywood Lane. Timber Drive at Davis Boulevard is proposed to be a right in /right out. The revisions to the replat minimally impact the boundaries of the zoning changes. The replat includes a developers agreement for city participation for a portion of the public infrastructure improvements for drainage improvements and signalized intersection at Davis Boulevard and Shadywood Lane. Staff is recommending approval of the three cases.

The following individuals spoke in opposition: • Peggy Shumate, 8612 & 8608 Timber Drive — opposed to the development if Timber Drive is not made a cul de sac and to the right turn only onto Davis Boulevard. • Kelly Elliott, 8628 Timber Drive — opposed to the impact the development will have on the Timber Drive residents; supported a cul de sac on Timber; requested Council deny the request. • Les Bokros, 8632 Timber Drive expressed concerns with the width of Timber Drive and the ability for a vehicle to travel through Timber when two vehicles are parked across from each other; also expressed concerns with drainage impacting his property. Mr. Mike Curtis, Managing Director Community Services, explained that while Timber Drive was 16 feet wide the right of way for the street was 60 feet. Parking would partially be on the paved road and partially in the street right of way. Mr. Curtis also explained the City's design criteria for drainage and advised the proposed subdivision complies with city standards; the developer's plans will not add to the existing drainage problems on Timber and in some cases will improve the drainage. Mayor Trevino advised the Council had received a petition from the residents. Staff advised that the petition was specific to the replat and contained 11.31% of the land area within 200 feet of the subject property in opposition. The petition does not satisfy the 20% opposition threshold that would require a three - fourths (super majority) vote of the Council. In addition, the requirement is only applicable to a replat if a variance is being requested. No variances are being requested for the replat so the three - fourths provision is not applicable. There being no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Trevino closed the public hearings and called for a motion on ZC 2012 -04, Ordinance No. 3198 and ZC 2012 -05, Ordinance No. 3199.

(SRA) IN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $67,750 APPROVED Mr. Mike Curtis, Managing Director, briefed the Council on the item. Staff has been working on the Boulevard 26 Intersection Improvements project since 2006. The consultant developed the design concepts and elements based on the conceptual design approved by the Boulevard 26 Oversight Committee. Many of the concepts and elements did not meet TxDOT approval and after several years of working with TxDOT to obtain approval, the Oversight Committee has agreed to remove and revise those elements and concepts to comply with State standards. The amendment will allow the consulting firm of Schrickel, Rollins and Associates to proceed with the changes recommended by the Oversight Committee in December. COUNCILMAN WHITSON MOVED TO APPROVE PW 2012 -017, APPROVING THE AGREEMENT FOR THE BOULEVARD 26 INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT WITH SCHRICKEL, ROLLINS AND ASSOCIATES, INC. FOR AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $67,750. COUNCILMAN TURNAGE SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION TO APPROVE CARRIED 6 -0. E.2 PW 2012 -019 REVISE THE 2011/2012 CAPITAL PROJECTS BUDGET, APPROVE A CHANGE ORDER TO L.H. LACY CONSTRUCTION, LTD. IN THE AMOUNT OF $182,166.50 AND APPROVE AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FOR CONSTRUCTION WITH THE CITY OF KELLER ON THE NORTH TARRANT PARKWAY STREET IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT (ST0201) APPROVED Mr. Greg VanNieuwenhuize, Assistant Public Works Director, briefed the Council on a change order for traffic signal improvements on the North Tarrant Parkway Street Improvements Project. The project is a joint project with the City of Keller with North Richland Hills being the "lead" city. During the course of construction, the City of Keller would like to extend Keller- Smithfield Road to intersect with North Tarrant Parkway at approximately 1,800 feet west of the Smithfield Road intersection — within the "Joint Section ". Keller has conducted a traffic analysis and a traffic signal is warranted at the new intersection. The current Interlocal Agreement for construction indicates that City Council Minutes June 25, 2012 Page 10 improvements within the "Joint Section" are to be split on a 50/50 basis between Keller and North Richland Hills. Since the need for a traffic signal is driven solely by Keller's new roadway, Keller will be responsible for the cost of the traffic signal installation. Once installed, the City of North Richland Hills will own, operate and maintain the traffic signal as part of the City's signal network. Tarrant County has agreed to pay for 50% of the traffic signal installation leaving Keller to pay the remaining 50 %. The City Council is being asked to revise the 2011/2012 Capital Projects Budget, approve a change order to the contractor, L.H. Lacy Construction and approve an amendment to the Interlocal Agreement for Construction with the City of Keller. The cost of the change order will be the responsibility of the City of Keller in accordance with Amendment No. 1 to the Interlocal Agreement for construction. The budget revision is necessary because North Richland Hills will need to make the payments to Lacy Construction and receive reimbursement from the City of Keller. MAYOR PRO TEM LOMBARD MOVED TO APPROVE PW 2012 -019, REVISING THE 2011/2012 CAPITAL PROJECTS BUDGET, APPROVING A CHANGE ORDER TO L.H. LACY CONSTRUCTION, LTD.

As part of the legal requirements, Council must authorize the City Secretary to publish a notice of intent of the City to issue Certificates of Obligation in an amount not to exceed $5,660,000. COUNCILMAN WELCH MOVED TO APPROVE THE GN 2012 -047, RESOLUTION NO. 2012 -018 AUTHORIZING THE CITY SECRETARY TO PUBLISH THE INTENT TO ISSUE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION NOT TO EXCEED $5,660,000. COUNCILMAN WHITSON SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION TO APPROVE CARRIED 6 -0. City Council Minutes June 25, 2012 Page 11 F.2 GN 2012 -048 APPROVE ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 34, ARTICLE 11 OF THE NORTH RICHLAND HILLS CODE OF ORDINANCES CHANGING REGULATIONS DEFINING AND PROHIBITING PUBLIC NUISANCES - ORDINANCE NO. 3187 APPROVED Jo Ann Stout, Director of Neighborhood Services, briefed the Council on Agenda Items. F.2, F.3 and F.4. Item F.2 is consideration of an ordinance that amends the current nuisance ordinances by clarifying some language to facilitate a clearer understanding and consistent compliance with established property maintenance standards. Amendments recommended for approval include: • Two new definitions: o Brush o Filth • Specific Nuisances • Clarified that no grass, trash, brush or rubbish can be blown on any public thoroughfare • Clarified that missing or deteriorated fence panels, slats, rails, pickets and posts must be replaced with material similar in size and appearance to those being replaced • Addresses rooftop storage • Addresses allowing poison ivy, poison oak or other poisonous plant to grow onto adjacent or public property • Requires builders, contractors, drilling rigs and other earth moving activity causing an unreasonable amount of dust to travel onto adjacent properties to put measures into place to keep the dirt and dust to a minimum. Agenda Item F.3 is consideration of an ordinance that amends the junk vehicle ordinance. The proposed amendment clarifies the definition of inoperable vehicles, wrecked vehicles, dismantled or partially dismantled vehicles and junked vehicles. It adds a mechanism to address vehicles that do not travel on public streets and do not require a valid license plate and /or inspection. It also adds a mechanism to enable code officers to look under a tarp to verify if a vehicle meets the definition of a junk, inoperable or wrecked vehicle. Agenda Item F.4 is consideration of an ordinance changing the regulations limiting the height of grass, weeds and uncultivated plants. The proposed ordinance eliminates the "on average" portion of the ordinance to allow code officers to address properties that have sections of grass /weeds over 10 inches that have become unsightly. The term "on average" is problematic in that it has been interpreted to allow a property owner to keep sections of a property unmaintained, so long as more than half of the property is under 10 inches in height. The proposed ordinance will also add a section that requires brushes, vegetation and trees to be properly maintained with enforcement based on City Council Minutes June 25, 2012 Page 12 whether the property meets the definition of "rank profusion ". It also allows the Fire Marshall the authority to require any grass, brush, tree or vegetation to be mowed or removed if they pose a fire hazard to the structures during extreme drought or other hazardous conditions.
