❑ PPRnvPn
Mayor Pro Tem Rodriguez opened the public hearing.
Clayton Comstock, Senior Planner, summarized the item. On February 10, 2014, City
Council approved TR 2013 -07 (Ordinance No. 3291) establishing standards for the new
Freeway Corridor Overlay District. This case would be the final action needed for this
project. Although the previous approval established the standards, the City Attorney
advised that the language in the ordinance did not specifically apply the new standards
to the subject properties through a "zoning change" type ordinance. Therefore,
Ordinance No. 3299 (ZC 2014 -04) is a clarification that the new Freeway Corridor
Overlay District will apply to the properties specified within the Text Revision ordinance
previously approved and shown on the proposed Freeway Corridor District map dated
December 2013.
Mayor Pro Tem Rodriguez called for anyone wishing to speak for or against the request
to come forward.

NOMINATION FOR STATE ENTERPRISE PROJECT DESIGNATION FOR TYSON
PREPARED FOODS — RESOLUTION NO. 2014 -008
❑ PPRC]VPn
Craig Hulse, Economic Development Director, summarized the item. A longstanding
City asset, Tyson Prepared Foods (Tyson) continues to look toward ways to improve
and enhance its operations at 6350 Browning Court. The opportunity exists for the City
of North Richland Hills to nominate Tyson for an Enterprise Project Designation with the
State of Texas. The nomination does not obligate the City to provide any financial
incentives from City revenues, rather it opens the door for Tyson to receive state sales
and use tax refunds based upon employment and capital investment. This nomination
would be the second nomination for Tyson Prepared Foods which was initially approved
by the State in 2008. If approved, the Enterprise Project Designation will retroactively
take effect on October, 2013, terminating on March 31, 2019. Staff recommends
approval of Resolution No. 2014 -008, nominating Tyson Prepared Foods as a Texas
Enterprise Project.

Kristin James, Assistant to the City Manager, summarized the item. Tarrant County
must reapply every three years to be eligible for Community Development Block Grant
(CDBC) funds through the Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD).
Because the City is a direct entitlement city in Tarrant County, the City must sign a joint
resolution with the County every three years to continue to receive CDBC funds and for
Tarrant County to administer those funds for the City. In North Richland Hills CDBC
funds are funding street and housing rehabilitation programs. Council is requested to
approve Resolution No. 2014 -006 to participate in Tarrant County's CDBC program.

CODE OF ORDINANCES REGULATING FOOD AND FOOD SERVICE
ESTABLISHMENTS - ORDINANCE NO. 3298
❑ PPRC]VPn
Stephanie East, Environmental Health Supervisor, summarized the item. Council is
being asked to approve Ordinance No. 3298 amending regulations for weekend food
vendors. The proposed change to the ordinance will include specific language that
would allow for only one vendor per approved location and lower the required building
space to 85,000 square feet and require a permitted kitchen onsite. There are currently
two permits issued for Weekend Food Vendor at both NRH Home Depots, and these
locations will be allowed to maintain a legal, non - conforming status after the ordinance
is amended. Under the current 100,000 square feet requirement, nine additional
businesses have the option of a Weekend Food Vendor permit. Lowering the square
footage from 100,000 to 85,000 with a permitted kitchen will allow for a total of five
conforming businesses and two businesses in development that will be eligible for a
Weekend Food Vendor permit.

RP 2013 -17 Public Hearing and Consideration of a request from NRH-
Tarrant Properties, LLC for a Replat for Lot 1R, Block 1 Bannister
Estates on 0.9389 acres at 7223 Eden Road.
Presenter: Clayton Comstock, Senior Planner
CASE SUMMARY: On behalf of Ellen O'Daniel and Wesley D. Bannister, NRH- Tarrant
Properties, LLC is requesting approval of a replat for a 0.94 -acre single - family
residential property at 7223 Eden Road. The replat is a result of the adjacent "Harmon
Farms" development, to which Mr. Bannister is contributing the back portion of his
existing 2.87 -acre property. Once the Bannister property is subdivided, the lot will
continue to serve as their residence at 7223 Eden Road. The zoning was recently
changed to "R -2" Single Family Residential to make it conform to the minimum lot area
requirements for this new plat.
EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS: A 2,210 square foot single - family residence built in
1994 (Source: Tarrant Appraisal District).
PLATTING STATUS: Lot 1, Block 1, Bannister Estates. The property was included in
the Preliminary Plat for Harmon Farms (Case PP 2013 -08) approved by the Planning &
Zoning Commission on November 7, 2013.
EXISTING ZONING: "R -2" Single Family Residential
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan depicts "Low Density Residential"
for this area. The Low Density Residential Land Use provides for traditional, low-
density, single - family detached dwelling units.
North: AG Agricultural 1 Low Density Residential
South: AG Agricultural 1 Low Density Residential
East: R -2 Single Family 1 Low Density Residential
West: R -2 Single Family 1 Low Density Residential
ROUGH PROPORTIONALITY DETERMINATION: The public improvements
necessary for the subdivision (identified as RP 2013 -17) to develop in accordance with
the City's minimum standards include concrete sidewalks and curb and gutter along
Eden Road. The construction of these improvements is the responsibility of the
owner/applicant/developer.
There is a recorded lien and City /Developer Agreement recorded at Tarrant County
regarding these improvements. Therefore, the owner/applicant/developer will not be
required to construct these improvements at this time. The owner has also previously
executed an agreement (also recorded at Tarrant County) stating that they agree to pay
for said improvements at a date in the future when these improvements are constructed.
Therefore, the commitments in the existing agreements are roughly proportionate to the
proposed subdivision. Therefore, the owner/applicant/developer will not be required to
construct the required improvements (per current minimum City standards) at this time;
however, the owner is assuming 100% of the amount required for such infrastructure
improvements in the future. The above determination of proportionality is made
pursuant to Section 212.904, Texas Local Government Code by the undersigned
professional engineer in the employ of the City of North Richland Hills, licensed by the
State of Texas.
PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED: Notice of public hearing was given in accordance with
Section 212 -015 of the Local Government Code.
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION: The Planning & Zoning Commission held a
public hearing and considered this item at their February 20, 2014 meeting and voted to
recommend approval (6 -0).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of RP 2013 -17.

approve the Final Plat the way it is with the smaller cul -de -sac. How do we open it up
for a variance?

regarding the variance should be subject to staff's review for emergency access,
drainage, consistency of previous approvals, etc.
Vice Chairman Bill Schopper opened the public hearing and asked for comments from
the public.
Larry Adams, 7252 Eden Rd. came and expressed concern about who will maintain the

Subject: Agenda Item No. C.2
SUP 2013 -08 Public Hearing and Consideration of a request from NRH-
Tarrant Properties, LLC for a Special Use Permit for two
Detention /Retention Ponds to serve the Harmon Farms development
located in the 7300 block of Eden Road - Ordinance No. 3300
Presenter: Clayton Comstock, Senior Planner
CASE SUMMARY: NRH- Tarrant Properties, LLC is requesting a Special Use Permit for
two stormwater detention facilities for their 28 -lot "Harmon Farms" residential
subdivision on the west side of Eden Road between Amundson Drive and Rumfield
Road.
DETENTIONIRETENTION: Although some detention /retention ponds have been
approved as parts of "PD" zoning districts (i.e. Aldi, Kroger, Winco, etc.), this is the first
Special Use Permit to be considered under Section 118 -729 of the Zoning Ord inance -
"Detentionlretention pond criteria" —since the provision was passed on January 14,
2013. Staff will be interested to hear what exhibits and improvements the Planning &
Zoning Commission and City Council will be looking for when these SUP requests are
made.
The retention pond at the subdivision's entry off
of Eden is necessary because Eden is not
currently an improved roadway and does not have
the drainage system and capacity typical of an
improved street. As an entry feature, this facility
will have a constant water level of about 7 feet
deep with a water fountain to keep circulation of
water and avoid stagnation. Low (11/2 to 3 feet)
masonry walls will be provided on the east and
west sides of the pond. During rain events, the
pond will capture runoff from the subdivision and
release it at the same rate of the pre - developed
conditions today. The visual impact of inlets and
outfall structures should be minimal.
Another detention pond is proposed in a more
discrete location behind two of the new single -
family lots (Lots 18 & 19) in the southwestern part
of the Harmon Farms subdivision. This facility is
also required to allow for development of the
property, since downstream drainage
improvements are not constructed. Being a
detention pond, the facility will stay dry and release
stormwater runoff at a rate that is consistent with
today's flows. Concrete flumes would line the
base of the pond to insure that no excess water
stands in the pond.
MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT: Both facilities will
be accompanied with a developer /maintenance agreement as they move forward to City
Council. The agreement will stipulate that the developer and/or the HCA shall be
responsible for maintaining the areas to minimum standards and the City will have the
option to access the facilities for additional maintenance if needed.
LANDSCAPING PROVIDED: A variety of Texas Ash, Pecan and Bur Oak trees are
proposed along the periphery of the two facilities -9 such trees around the retention
pond along Eden Road at the subdivision's entry and 5 around the detention pond
behind Lots 18 & 19. Possumhaw Holly is also proposed as an accent/ornamental tree.

request is a reduction from the required 58 feet cul -de -sac right -of -way radius to a 50
foot cul -de -sac radius. Item C.2 is the remainder lot for Mr. Bannister's property, who
sold a portion of his property to the developer of Harmon Farms. Item C.3 is a SUP for
two detention /retention ponds within the development.
Senior Planner Clayton Comstock came forward to present Items C.1, C2, and C.3.
Vice Chairman Bill Schopper asked Clayton Comstock to explain if it is appropriate to
approve the Final Plat the way it is with the smaller cul -de -sac. How do we open it up
for a variance?
Senior Planner Clayton Comstock stated that the Commission's recommendation
regarding the variance should be subject to staff's review for emergency access,
drainage, consistency of previous approvals, etc.
Vice Chairman Bill Schopper opened the public hearing and asked for comments from
the public.
Larry Adams, 7252 Eden Rd. came and expressed concern about who will maintain the
retention pond and was specifically concerned with mosquitos.
Keith Hamilton replied, a fountain will be installed to keep the water moving in the
retention pond.
Clayton Comstock stated there will also be a Developer's Agreement moving forward to
City Council that will state that if the ponds are not maintained, the City of North
Richland Hills will step in and maintain them and a lien will be placed on the property.

FP 2013 -11 Consideration of a request from NRH- Tarrant Properties,
LLC for a Final Plat for Harmon Farms being 28 single family residential
lots and 2 open space lots on 9.998 acres in the 7200 & 7300 blocks of
Eden Road; Subdivision Ordinance variance requests to minimum cul-
de -sac dimension standards and detention pond design criteria; and a
Detention /Retention Storage Facility Maintenance Agreement for the
maintenance of the subdivision's detentionlretention structures
Presenter: Clayton Comstock, Senior Planner
CASE SUMMARY: NRH- Tarrant Properties, LLC is requesting approval of a Final Plat
for Harmon Farms; being 28 residential lots and 2 open space lots on 9.998 acres on
the west side of Eden Road between Hightower Drive and Rumfield Road.
CASE DESCRIPTION: The development would be a single -entry cul -de -sac
development and an extension of the existing Everglade Drive to the west across Eden
Road. Right -of -way would also be dedicated for a possible future extension of the
development to the south along Eden Road. Because of drainage difficulties with the
site and existing stormwater infrastructure, two detention ponds will be required in order
to develop. A Special Use Permit for these two detention ponds accompanies this Final
Plat (Case SUP 2013 -08).
EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS: Until recently, the properties in question developed
with single family homes on large estate lots. According to the Tarrant Appraisal
District, three of the five lots were built in the mid- 1960s; one in 1980 and one in 1994.
All have been demolished in preparation for this development.
PLATTING STATUS: The property is multiple unplatted tracts described in the J.B.
Edens Survey, Abstract No. 499. The Preliminary Plat for Harmon Farms was approved
by the Planning & Zoning Commission on November 7, 2013.
EXISTING ZONING: "R -2" Single Family Residential. The R -2 zoning was approved
by City Council on August 26, 2013.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan depicts "Low Density Residential"
for this area. The Low Density Residential Land Use provides for traditional, low-
density, single - family detached dwelling units.
THOROUGHFARE PLAN: The subdivision has access and frontage to Eden Road, a
planned "C4U" 4 -lane undivided collector street with 68 feet of ultimate right -of -way.
Adequate right -of -way is being dedicated by this Final Plat.
SURROUNDING ZONING 1 LAND USE:
North: R -1 Single Family 1 Low Density Residential
South: AG Agricultural 1 Low Density Residential
East: R -1 & R -2 Single Family 1 Low Density Residential
West: R -2 Single Family 1 Low Density Residential
ROUGH PROPORTIONALITY DETERMINATION: The public improvements
necessary for the subdivision (identified as FP 2013 -11) to develop in accordance with
the City's minimum standards include water, sanitary sewer, street and drainage
improvements. The developer will be responsible for constructing this infrastructure
inside the subdivision. Additionally, this subdivision will have an impact on Eden Road
and the drainage system identified to the south of this subdivision. The construction of
these improvements and/or the economic equivalent is the responsibility of the
applicant/developer. A Right -of -Way dedication along Eden Road (a 4 -Lane Major
Undivided Collector 1 C4U) is necessary, so that the "subdivision's side" of Eden Road
will meet the City's minimum ROW width (68' is the full width for a C4U).
In determining the impact of the 28 lots within the subdivision on the City's street
system, our analysis yields that while the frontage of the subdivision is 508.92 LF, the
demand to the City's street system is equivalent to 334.19 LF of 12' wide paving. The
analysis is not shown in this report but a summary of the results is shown in the table
below.

Total $ 31,147.72
Therefore, such amount ($31,147.72) is roughly proportionate to the proposed
subdivision. The applicant/developer will be required to either construct the required
improvements (per current minimum City standards) or assume 100% of the amount
($31,147.72) required for such infrastructure improvements. This cost is valid for six (6)
months. The above determination of proportionality is made pursuant to Section
212.904, Texas Local Government Code by the undersigned professional engineer in
the employ of the City of North Richland Hills, licensed by the State of Texas.
CUL -DE -SAC DIMENSION VARIANCE REQUEST:
The applicant is requesting a variance in the required radius of the cul -de -sac from 58
feet to 50 feet.
The proposed subdivision is planned for two cul -de -sacs. The first cul -de -sac is located
at the end of Kinley Court and the other is located at the end of Everglade Drive. The
City's subdivision criteria require that the right -of -way for a cul -de -sac be a 58' radius (or
116' diameter). This right -of -way width allows for a paved street section that meets the
48' radius (or 96' diameter) specified in Appendix D of the Fire Code. The purpose of
this requirement is to provide sufficient room for the City's larger fire trucks to be able to
turn around. Staff always considers each individual situation because sometimes the
fire trucks may not use the cul -de -sac to turn around or the length of the street leading
into the cul -de -sac is short enough for the larger trucks to be able to be safely back out
of the cul -de -sac.
For the first cul -de -sac located at the end of Kinley Court the Fire Department has
reviewed the situation and believes the length of Kinley Court is short enough that the
trucks can back out of the cul -de -sac. This is not the preference but it is a reasonable
option.
The cul -de -sac located at the end of Everglade Drive is too long for the trucks to back
out. However there is a drainage flume located in the cul -de -sac that if designed 12 feet
wide and is constructed with a pavement section strong enough to support the large fire
trucks then the flume could be used to assist the trucks in turning around in the smaller
cul -de -sac. This is not the preference but it is an option that could allow the trucks room
to turn around.
Staff does support the variance to reduce the cul -de -sac width down from a 58' radius to
a 50' radius based on the conditions above.
DETENTIONIRETENTION POND VARIANCE REQUEST:
The applicant is requesting a variance in the design criteria for the two detention ponds
proposed for the subdivision. The City's subdivision criteria specify that the 100 year
water surface elevation shall not be higher than the natural surface of the ground. This
criteria was established to prevent situations where a levee or a dam would be
necessary to hold back the water. However if the levee /dam is designed correctly then it
certainly would not be an unsafe situation.
The design of the two detention ponds does have the 100 year water surface rising
above the natural ground elevation. The design does require walls to hold back the
water during the 100 year storm event. However staff has reviewed the wall design and
believes them to be designed appropriately to contain the water while the detention
ponds slowly drain. The walls are not needed to hold back permanently standing water,
only the rise in the water during the 100 year storm.
Staff does support this variance request.
DEVELOPERS AGREEMENT FOR DETENTIONIRETENTION POND
MAINTENANCE: Attached for City Council's review and approval is a
Detention /Retention Storage Facility Maintenance Agreement for the two detention
ponds proposed within the development. Both detention ponds are within an Open
Space & Drainage Easement. The attached agreement sets minimum maintenance
standards for the detention ponds and allows the City to provide maintenance if needed
and assess the necessary liens for such maintenance on the property. This agreement
has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney.
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION: The Planning & Zoning Commission
considered this item at their February 20, 2014 meeting and voted to recommend
approval (6 -0), including the variance request to the minimum required cul -de -sac
dimensions subject to staff's reviewfor emergency access and drainage.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of FP 2013 -11, the variances requested for
the detention pond design criteria and the 50' radius cul -de -sac, and the Developers
Agreement for the Detention Pond Maintenance.

Kudos Korner
Every Council Meeting, we spotlight our employees for the great things they do. Tonight
we recognize:
The Management and Staff of the NRH Centre — A note of appreciation was
published in the Cheers section of the newspaper for the staff at the NRH Centre for
their response to a medical emergency in the lobby of the facility. While waiting for an
ambulance, staff and management surrounded the afflicted person. Their emergency
training really showed through and demonstrated that they can handle any emergency
that arises. That was very comforting to all the NRH Centre patrons, the note stated.
