An affidavit of disqualification has been completed by Councilman Welch and filed with the City Secretary stating the nature of the interest is he is engineer of record for the project. Mayor Trevino opened the public hearing and called on the applicant to come forward. Mr. Scott Sandlin, applicant, requested approval of a zoning change from 1 -2 Industrial to R -PD Residential Planned Development on 51.7 acres located in the 7000 block of Iron Horse Boulevard. Mr. Sandlin presented a PowerPoint presentation showing the City Council Minutes January 27, 2014 Page 6 development plan for the proposed Cambridge Development. Mr. Sandlin discussed the zoning of the surrounding properties, the development's adjacency to Prestige Ameritech, and the adjacency of the 40 lots that will back directly to the future TEXRail line and the Cottonbelt Trail. Mr. Sandlin reviewed the layout of the development discussing the fencing, streetscapes, and the three phases of the development. Phase I, Villages, will consist of 77 lots with an R -3 based district with a minimum of 1,800 square feet homes. Proposed for Phase II, Place, are 60 lots with an R -3 base district with a maximum of 15 1,800 square feet homes and the remainder a minimum of 2,000 square feet. Mr. Sandlin advised that after the Planning and Zoning meeting, they agreed to a compromise and the plan will be amended to a maximum of 10 1,800 square feet homes. Phase III, Estates, will consist of 55 lots with an R -2 base district with a minimum of 2,000 square feet homes. Mr. Sandlin presented elevation examples for each of the three phases and discussed the value of the homes. Mr. Sandlin addressed the issues raised at the Planning and Zoning meeting. Mr. Sandlin advised the homes adjacent to the rail were further away from the rail than homes in other cities that are adjacent to a rail and the Cambridge homes will have enhanced soundproofing. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended the Place and Village have no more than 50% homes a minimum of 1,800 square feet. Mr. Sandlin advised they have accepted the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation on the east portion of the Villages and have compromised on the Place for no more than 10 lots at 1,800 square feet. Mr. Sandlin addressed Prestige Ameritech's inability to expand beyond its current property lines. Mr. Sandlin advised Prestige Ameritech is already landlocked by Iron Horse Boulevard and a gas pipeline to the west. Prestige Ameritech currently has space on its current location for building and parking expansion. The recommendation from Planning & Zoning for a 6 foot masonry wall between Prestige Ameritech and the Place will not match the existing wall. Mr. Sandlin is proposing instead an 8 -foot cedar board on board. There were several questions from the Council regarding fencing of the homes backing up to the Cottonbelt Trail on the far north side of the property and on the far south side where the property backs up to the duplex homes, the possible removal of the existing older privacy fences, whether consideration had been given to any rear entry garages and the number of front entry garages in each of the phases. Mr. Sandlin was asked to provide his position on the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation for finding a solution to the intersection of Iron Horse Boulevard and Liberty Way before approval of the final plat and his position on the Commission's recommendation for the Place having an R -2 based district with a minimum of 2,000 square feet homes. Clayton Comstock Senior Planner, presented Staff's report highlighting the technicalities of the request and the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission. The Planning and Zoning Commission was unable to come to a conclusion at their January 16 meeting and on January 21 voted 4 -1 to recommend approval subject to 1) The Place having an R -2 base district with all units being a minimum of 2,000 square feet; 2) 50% of the homes on Street F in the Villages being a minimum of 2,000 square feet; 3) a six -foot masonry wall being provided between City Council Minutes January 27, 2014 Page 7 Prestige Ameritech and the eastern edge of the "Place" phase; and 4) A solution to the intersection of Iron Horse Boulevard and Liberty Way being worked out prior to final plat approval. Mayor Trevino called for comments in favor of the request. There being no one wishing to speak, Mayor Trevino advised that Council had received a few letters in their agenda packet supporting the request. Mayor Trevino called for comments in opposition to the request. Mr. Mike Bowen, Vice President of Prestige Ameritech, spoke in opposition to the request discussing the growth of Prestige Ameritech and the need to expand outside of their current property boundaries. Mr. Dan Reese, representing Prestige Ameritech, spoke in opposition to the request citing their need to expand and their desire to stay in the city at their current location. There being on one else wishing to speak, Mayor Trevino closed the public hearing.

Council is being asked to approve the necessary documents to allow a portion of the City's public utility infrastructure to remain in place within the Loop 820 right -of -way. Almost all of the City's utility infrastructure that needs to be relocated or added to for the North Tarrant Express Project (NTE) has been constructed. Some of the City's infrastructure that is now within the right -of -way of the NTE project did not need to be relocated because the infrastructure is not under future pavement. The State is requesting the utility owner to approve the appropriate Abbreviated Utility Assembly (AUA). The AUA includes the following documents for the City to approve and execute: 1) a letter from the City indicating that the City concurs with allowing the City's infrastructure to remain in its present location; 2) an affidavit indicating that the City is the rightful "owner" of both the infrastructure and the easement within the expanded ROW; 3) A Utility Joint Use Acknowledgement Reimbursable Utility Adjustment which allows the utilities to exist within TxDOT's right -of -way and allows the City to access such utilities; and 4) A Quitclaim Deed which is the document whereby the City will quitclaim any rights it has to the portion of easement within the expanded ROW in exchange for compensation in the amount of $268,572.50.

City Council Minutes January 27, 2014 Page 10 E.2 AWARD OF PROJECT RFB NO. 14 -008 TO NORTH TEXAS CONTRACTING IN THE AMOUNT OF $507,500.00 FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE NORTH TARRANT PARKWAY MEDIAN IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT (ST1306) APPROVED Ms. Caroline Waggoner, Assistant Director /Engineering, presented the item. Council is being asked to award a construction contract for the North Tarrant Parkway Median Improvements project. The project consists of median modifications to the existing raised and landscaped North Tarrant Parkway median between Davis Boulevard and Precinct Line Road. A new opening will be created in the existing median for access to the new development on the south side of North Tarrant Parkway across from an existing driveway on the Wal -Mart property and a new signal will be installed providing for signalized access to both the existing Wal -Mart parking lot and the new development to the south. The project is set up with a base bid and two alternates. The two alternates were developed in cooperation with the Parks Department to provide for the relocation of 39 existing trees in the construction area. The construction funding ($500,000) available for the project is lower than the bid amount with both alternates ($507,500). Staff is recommending award of the contract to North Texas Contracting in the amount of $507,500 and to transfer $7,500 from the Parks Fund to offset the increase cost with the approval of a budget revision of $7,500 to the Capital Project Budget.

F.0 GENERAL ITEMS F.1 CONSIDERATION OF THE USE OF EMINENT DOMAIN TO ACQUIRE PROPERTY FOR A PUBLIC USE, SUCH BEING A RIGHT OF WAY FOR WIDENING RUFE SNOW DRIVE - RESOLUTION NO. 2014 -002 APPROVED City Council Minutes January 27, 2014 Page 11 George Staples, City Attorney, presented the item. Council is being asked to authorize eminent domain for the acquisition of five parcels needed for the Rufe Snow widening project. Right -of -way acquisition for the project began in 2012 for approximately 40 parcels. There are five remaining property owners whose land has not been acquired for the widening project. For one of the properties, it was discovered before the official condemnation hearing that the survey was incorrect and therefore a resolution with the new description needs to be approved.
