INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No.IR 99-226
Date: Monday, October 11, 1999
Subject: Blue Line Ice Complex
Tax Abatement Feasbilility Study
Attached is the Feasibility Study and recommendation on Blue Line Ice Complex's tax
abatement application. elue Line plans to spend $10.3 million in constructing a 125,000
SF, three-sheet ice facility—and is seeking tax abatement on $9.5 million in improvements
that qualify for consideration. The highlights of Blue Line's economic impact include:
• Creation of 40 new full-time (and 7 part-time) jobs in Greater North Richland Hills.
• Anticipation of $4.39 million in taxable sales, yielding a total of $87,990 in additional
sales tax revenues for the City.
• At least $800,000 in new personal property (which is exempt from tax abatement)
yielding $4,560 in new annual property tax revenues.
• Local (and potential for national) media exposure associated with the Texas Tornado
Hockey Club and other youth hockey and figure skating tournaments and events
While the operation of Blue Line and the Texas Tornado will positively benefit the City, both
the Fire and Police Departments have raised detailed concerns about increased costs in
providing security, traffic control and emergency medical services.
Thus, staff is recommending denial of Blue Line's request for a full abatement (50% per
year for 10 years) and instead suggesting that Council consider granting 33% per year for
10 years. Such a percentage would assist Blue Line in funding the additional seating
made necessary by the Texas Tornado—something which was unanticipated at the time
of Blue Line's application.
Finance Director Larry Koonce has also reviewed the financial and tax issues and concurs
as to their accuracy.
I look forward to discussing this study with you Monday night. Staff is seeking direction on
whether Council desires to call a public hearing and formally consider action on Blue Line's
request on October 25.

ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS
BLUE LINE ICE COMPLEX
'APPLICATION FOR TAX ABATEMENT
FEASIBILITY STUDY AND RECOMMENDATION
CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
DEPARTMENT
OCTOBER 1999
•
The adopted Guidelines and Criteria for granting tax abatement in the City of North
Richland Hills require staff to perform a Feasibility Study setting out the impact of the
- proposed reinvestment zone and tax abatement.
QUALIFICATIONS TO APPLY
Blue Line Ice Complex qualifies to apply for tax abatement as a "Regional
Entertainment/Tourism Facility". Such an operation is defined as "buildings and
structures, including fixed machinery and equipment, used or to be used to provide
entertainment and/or tourism-related services, from which a majority of revenues
generated by activity at the facility are derived from outside North Richland Hills".
Blue Line's general contractor—Fort Worth-based K.B. Alexander & Co.—is constructing
the new 125,000 square foot facility. In addition being the largest-known such facility in
the Southwest United States (with three sheets of ice), this complex will include one of the
only Olympic-sized sheet in the region (and the first-known in Texas). Blue Line's facility
will also include locker rooms, stadium-style seating, administrative offices, a pro shop
and a restaurant/cafe.
In addition to the cost of construction, Blue Line officials plan to add personal property
(which is exempt from abatement) including office furniture, office equipment (including
computers, faxes, printers, copiers).
As defined in our Guidelines & Criteria, new facility means a property previously
undeveloped which is placed in service by means other than or in conjunction with
expansion or modernization.
IMPROVEMENTS
Blue Line Ice Complex is being constructed at an address temporarily identified as 1 Ice
House Drive, one block south of Mid-Cities Boulevard. Located just west of the new
Birdville High School, Blue Line will become the first anchor of the new 280-acre NRH
Town Center.
According to North Richland Hills-based architects GSBS Batenhorst, Inc., the complex
will be surrounded by a 12-foot masonry wall that is covered by a stone cap. Located
within the wall will be three metal "ice boxes", extending thirty feet high and constructed
with steel brackets and corrugated metal panels.
Since the Blue Line Ice Complex is located within the NRH Town Center, Town Center
Architect Andres Duany of Duany/Plater-Zyberk, has been involved in its design
According to GSBS Batenhorst officials, Mr. Duany wants Blue Line to be "a showpiece',
since it is the Town Center's first development.

Construction Stag: December 1998
Anticipated Completion: October 1999
Construction: $8,500,000
Equipment: 1,650,000
Flooring 200,000
TOTAL $10,350,000
APPLICATION GUIDELINES/ECONOMIC QUALIFICATIONS
An applicant must submit the Application for Tax Abatement prior to the commencement
of construction. Blue Line's application qualifies as it was received on December 17,
1998.
For a new regional entertainment/tourism facility, an applicant must invest not less than
$5,000,000 in the facilities within three years of the commencement of construction. Blue
Line's application qualifies as they expect to invest $10.3 million ($9.5 million of which
qualifies for abatement).
An applicant must likewise create permanent, full-time employment for not less than 10
persons associated with the production of goods and services at the authorized facilities.
Blue Line's application would qualify as they anticipated creating 11 new permanent, full-
time jobs in addition to the company's 4 existing employees at time of application
(Please note: Blue Line officials have since doubled their total of existing full-time
employees to 8—and still anticipate employing a grand total of 15.)
APPLICATION REVIEW
The City received Blue Line's application on December 17, 1998. The application and
accompanying letter are attached for review. As referenced previously, Blue Line officials
have amended several numbers since construction began in late 1998.
All requirements to make application for tax abatement have been met by Blue Line Ice
Complex. As Blue Line officials have noted, the company is solely owned by a limited
partnership (Fitzgerald Holdings, L.P.) and no income has been generated prior to
completion of the facility. Included are:

c. Map of Area
d. Time Schedule
ECONOMIC EFFECT
Blue Line's construction will have a positive economic impact on the City of North
Richland Hills and its citizens. Areas of impact include:
• The relocation of 4 full-time employees (already completed) and creation of 11
additional new jobs—or 15 total new permanently-employed people within the City.
Blue Line's General Manager recently bought a house and moved his family to North
Richland Hills. Blue Line anticipates an annual total payroll of$408,000
• Moreover, indirectly—through the Texas Tornado Hockey Club—Blue Line has added
another 8 permanent, full-time positions (as well as 7 part-time jobs). The club's Head
Coach, Assistant Coach and Director of Game Operations have also relocated to
NRH Texas Tornado's total payroll now stands at $350,000. Tornado officials
anticipate their payroll will increase as they explores hosting hockey schools and
adding other types of business and entertainment enterprises in the coming years.
• According to a study conducted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (What 100 New
Jobs Mean to a Community, 1993 Edition, by Martin Lefkowitz), the creation of 23 jobs
in "Hotels & Amusements" will also result in 17 additional positions coming to the
greater North Richland Hills area in the following industries:
Construction .54
Manufacturing 2.53
Transportation, Communications,
and Utilities 1.63
Wholesale and Retail Trade 3.07
Finance, Insurance and Real Estate 1.26
Services 8 33
Other 0.18
• An immediate increase in the City's personal property values with the addition of
$800,000 million in new equipment that is ineligible for abatement. Such an increase
will help strengthen North Richland Hills' economic base.
•
Blue Line Ice Complex Feasibility Study
• Page 5
• An additional $62,390 in anticipated annual sales tax revenue generated directly from
Blue Line Ice Complex alone:
Ice Rental (hockey and figure skating) $1,781,000
Clinics/ Schools 383,500
Tournaments/Events 180,000
Pro-Shop Sales (equipment, merchandise) 434,000
Concessions (food/beverage sales) 185,000
Party Rentals 156,000
TOTAL $3,119,500
• An excellent addition to the entertainment and tourism-based businesses and facilities
already located in that portion of North Richland Hills (i.e. NRH20, Mountasia Family
FunCenter, Walkers Creek Girls Fast-Pitch Complex, Birdville Fine Arts & Athletic
Complex).
In summary, the project is expected to have a total economic impact (direct and indirect)
of:
at least 40 new full-time (and 7 part-time)jobs
$800,000 in new personal property, annually yielding $4,560 in new
property tax revenues for the City
$3.1 million in Blue Line's taxable sales, annually yielding $62,390 in new
sales tax revenues for the City. When combined with the Texas Tornado's
anticipated annual taxable sales of $1.28 million (see "Future Growth" on
page 7), the City will realize a total of $87,990 in additional sales tax
revenues.
TAX IMPACT
Our guidelines for tax abatement allow for a 500% reduction in property taxes—on the
real property improvements only—over a 10 year period.
Based on our existing tax rate of .57 cents, 500 % (or 50% per year for the
maximum allowed 10 years) abatement on the increased value of$9,500,000 would
abate $270,750 in taxes over the life of the contract. Blue Line officials have
requested City Council consideration of the full 500% abatement over ten years.
Blue Line Ice Complex Feasibility Study
Page 6
It should be noted that tpxes would not be abated on:
1) Increased Land Value.
2) Personal Property.
IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES
Representatives of North Richland Hills' Finance (Utility Billing), Fire, Police and Public
Works Departments have reviewed Blue Line's construction plans. Two of the four
Departments (Public Works and Finance/Utility Billing) do not anticipate that its operation
will require the City to fund additional services. Their specific observations are attached
for your review.
NRH's Fire and Police Departments have some concern for the cost of increased services
associated with Blue Line's operation—and especially for high-attendance events such as
Texas Tornado games:
For instance, while Fire Chief Andy Jones doesn't expect the fully-sprinkled facility
to "negatively impact our current level of fire protection"—he does foresee that
some events will definitely increase the probability of increasing calls for EMS-
relates services" (see attached).
Chief Jones adds that the nature of sports that will be played in this complex . . .
will very likely add to the current number of calls for service we are now responding
to"—and notes that the facility will impact the Department's ability (with two medic
units in service) to cover the entire City" needs
Likewise, Police Chief Tom Shockley and Captain Pat Murphy expressed concerns
for "costs and manpower that will potentially be brought about by the new Ice
Complex" (see attached).
In particular, Captain Murphy estimates that the Department's yearly costs of
providing security and traffic control for 28 Texas Tornado home games could total
$48,000. While the Texas Tornado or Blue Line will be responsible for these
costs, Captain Murphy expressed concern for the resulting impact on the
Department's overtime accounts. Based on his figures, for example, just the 28
Tornado home dates will cost the City an additional $48,720 per year.
Blue Line Ice Complex Feasibility Study
Page 7
Moreover, Chief\ Shockley notes that of the Department's 100 commissioned
peace officers, only 60 are potential candidates for such off-duty work. In light of
the adjoining new BISD Fine Arts & Athletics Complex—and the events associated
with its operation—Chief Shockley is somewhat concerned about the potential
number of officers who will want to work (or, for the City's overall safety, who
should work) so much overtime.
FUTURE GROWTH
Blue Line's decision to partner with the Texas Tornado—and facilitate placement of the
State's (and Southwest United States') first Junior "A" League hockey team in North
Richland Hills—was certainly not formalized at the time of their tax abatement application.
The Texas Tornado's decision to play at Blue Line created the need for a 2,500-seat
arena (which GSBS Batenhorst and K.B. Alexander officials have accounted for in the
construction plans). This addition increased Blue Line's construction costs by $350,000.
Yet the North American Hockey League (NAHL) expansion franchise will bring with it at
least 28 annual home games—and the potential for future home playoff games.
Texas Tornado officials tell us they expect an average of $2 per person per game in
concession sales. When combined with sales of game tickets, program and souvenir
sales, the Tornado expect to generate $1,280,000 in annual taxable sales. If the Tornado
reaches that figure, North Richland Hills will receive an additional $25,600 per year in
sales tax revenues from the Tomado's game ticket sales, advertising and sponsorships
and merchandise sales.
Likewise, Texas Tornado officials have informed us that they are bidding to host the
three-day 2000-2001 NAHL All-Star Game at Blue Line—and may also compete for the
interleague National Junior Hockey Championships. In addition to bringing North
Richland Hills national media exposure, such events will further boost local sales and
hotel occupancy taxes.
There is no doubt to hockey's growing popularity (see attached articles)—especially in the
Metroplex in light of the Dallas Stars' 1999 Stanley Cup Championship. Representatives
of the Dallas Stars are working with the City of Euless to build their own two-sheet
StarCenter facility targeting players in Northeast Tarrant County. (In fact, the Stars did
make an attempt to convince Texas Tornado officials to play there instead of Blue Line.)
Blue Line Ice Complex Feasibility Study
Page 8
Moreover, the 2,500-seat arena—and adjoining Olympic-sized sheet—provide the
potential for NRH to land U.S. Figure Skating Sectional competitions, in addition to youth
hockey tournaments. Hosting a U.S. Figure Skating event may also benefit the region's
Dallas 2012 efforts, since it would allow NRH to work in tandem with the Dallas/Fort
Worth Regional Sports Commission to illustrate the City's ability to plan, coordinate and
manage an Olympic-caliber event.
Finally, Both Blue Line and the Texas Tornado Hockey Club are working to establish
relationships with the NRH community—especially as it relates to area public schools and
the development of young hockey players and figure skaters, as well as corporate
sponsors and vendors. For instance, the Texas Tornado has arranged to purchase team
meals from Marzano's and Charlie's Chicken—and have negotiated advertising and/or
sponsorship packages with North Hills Hospital, Alan Young Buick/GMC Trucks, Signs
Now, 24Hour Fitness and Grandy's.
Both entities have joined the Northeast Tarrant Chamber—and are becoming active
members of the community.
RECOMMENDATION
After a comprehensive review of this material, the Economic Development Department
recommends that if the Council deny Blue Line's request for a full 50% per year for 10
years. Such a recommendation is based on the amount of increased annual costs to
provide public safety services (especially security, traffic control and emergency medical
services) for major events at Blue Line Ice Complex (i.e Texas Tornado games).
Nevertheless, staff likewise recommends that Council consider abating approximately 1/2
of the additional cost of the 2,500 seats necessary to accommodate play by the Texas
Tornado—or $178,695 (33% per year for 10 years)—if the Council wishes to abate any
portion of the overall costs to construct the Blue Line Ice Complex.
Blue Line Ice Complex Feasibility Study
Page 9
Such an abatement would assist Blue Line and Tornado officials in covering a cost which
was unanticipated wheq Blue Line originally applied for such an abatement. While the
2,500-seat arena does create much of the additional public safety service demand, it
likewise increases the potential for additional sales and occupancy tax revenues for the
City.

From: John G. Johnson, Utility Services
To: Marty Wieder, Economic Development
Date: June 22, 1999
Subject: Blue Line Ice Complex
Estimates for the monthly billing for trash pick up and water/sewer use,
plus water/sewer connection and impact fees were made for the Blue Line
Ice Complex. Information used was per your memo June 7, 1999, other
City Departments, Craig Hutchins, Utility Billing rates and customer use
information for commercial refuse users.
1. Monthly Trash $2,124.76
NRH2O was used for this estimate. That amount was then increased
to reflect a reasonable estimate of an amount an experienced staff
employee believed would be required. Four (4) eight- (8) yard
dumpsters picked up five (5) times per week.
2. Monthly Water/Sewer $40,561.06
Information used: Two (2) eight (8) inch water meters, 6.0592 acres,
one hundred fifty 150 gals per minute, twenty and one half(20.5) hours
per day, seven (7) days per week, standard BODITSS rate. If
customer can show a BOD/TSS amount lower than normal, rate can
be reduced
3. Water/Sewer Connection and Impact Fee $104,133.54
This information for fees charged for connecting to six (6) inch meters
and the standard impact fees for six (6) inch meters. The City of North
Richland Hills does not have impact fees listed for eight (8) inch
meters.
The above information is estimates and is based on information available
at the time. Rates used to calculate amounts above were approved rates
when estimates were made. Actual amounts may vary due to different
use amounts, actual conditions encountered when connections completed
and rates changes made after estimates made. There appears to be no
significant impact on the Utility Billing Department's meter reading, billing
and collection activities as a result of the above new business.

Memo
To: Marty Weider, Economic Development Director
From: Mike Curtis, Assistant Public Works Director
Date: 06/21/99
Re: Blue Line Ice
The Public Works Department has evaluated the application for tax abatement for
the Blue Line Ice Complex. Based on the information furnished by the owner and
their engineers, we do not anticipate its operation requiring the City to fund additional
Public Works services.
Our determination was based on the following:
Water and Sanitary Sewer
Blue Line Ice has indicated their peak water usage will be 150 gallons/minute. They
also indicated 150 gallons/minute effluent would need to be treated. The developers
for Blue Line Ice and Town Center have constructed new 8-inch water and 8-inch
sanitary sewer mains to handle the indicated water and wastewater requirements.
Based on the information provided, the Public Works Department does not see a
need for additional mains and/or services
Streets and Drainage
The Public Works Department evaluated the impact the Blue Line Ice Complex could
potentially have on streets and drainage. All streets and drainage improvements
surrounding the complex will be installed and funded by developers The Public
Works Department does not see a need for additional city services related to streets
or drainage.
Traffic
The Public Works Department has reviewed the impact the Blue Line Ice Complex
will have on traffic. Our evaluation considered traffic as it relates to the Public Works
•Page 1
Department (not other City departments) only. We evaluated the traffic based on
normal operating conditions and special events. During normal operating conditions
and special events, it is our opinion additional services will not be warranted.
However, it is difficult to confirm without knowing the following information:
1. Number of special events per week
2. Time of day/evening of special event.
3. Number of pedple attending special events.
Depending on the answers to the above questions, a traffic signal may be required at
the intersection of Simmons Drive and Mid-Cities Boulevard.
Please let me know if you need additional information or have any questions

Reference: 99-02-015
Date: June 21, 1999
Re: Blue Line Ice Complex
This memo addresses the request you made in reference to the impact of the new Blue
Line Ice Complex on the fire departments operations.
From the fire response aspect, the facility will be fully sprinkled and should not negatively
impact our current level of fire protection. Alarm system malfunctions and problems could
result in additional false alarm calls, but the possibility is no more probable than with any
other newly constructed facility in the City The current response districts adequately
protect the location of the facility. A full alarm call will normally consist of Quint 223, Engine
224, Truck 224 and Medic 223.
The largest impact of this facility will most likely occur with the emergency medical
responses. The facility is scheduled to hold in excess of 2,500 people for some events and
will definitely increase the probability of increasing calls for EMS related services. It is not
known at this time if the complex will provide any in-house medical services during normal
events or when the building is at its capacity.
At some point prior to the opening of this complex we need to determine what, if any
provisions will be made to address this concern If no medical provisions are provided, we
may want to consider a similar arrangement to the one we have made with the Birdville
Independent School District for their new athletic complex at the new high school. We
provide EMS service during major events at no cost to the City. The overtime and
equipment expenses to provide a MICU level unit with an off-duty Paramedic and EMT
driver and medic unit is paid by the complex on an as needed basis. This type of
arrangement will allow us to keep our two in-service medic units available as much as
possible for the daily calls for service.
• Page 1
The most serious impact of this new facility will be in providing medic unit coverage by the
current department allocation of two medic units in-service to cover the entire City's needs
The nature of the sports that will be played in this complex, specifically hockey, and the
injuries associated with it, will very likely add to the current number of calls for service we
are now responding to.

INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO. Economic Development Director Marty Wieder REF: PDM# 01/99/384
FROM Chief Tom Shockley DATE June 14, 1999
SUBJECT' Impact on Police by Blue Line Ice Complex
Attached you will find a memorandum from Captain Pat Murphy, of our Uniformed Services
Division, bearing PDM# 04/99/381. In his memorandum, Captain Murphy points out the concerns
he has regarding costs and manpower that will potentially be brought about by the new Ice
Complex.
However, there is an additional concern that I have regarding overall staffing of events within the
entire area of the Town Center. The approximate dollars and hours are discussed in Captain
Murphy's memorandum. However, this agency only has 100 commissioned peace officers from
the Chief of Police to the newest officer. This number is, of course, only attained when we are
fully staffed.
Out of the 100 officers mentioned above, only about 60 of them are potentially candidates for the
off duty work required by the new Birdville High School Stadium, the Blue Line Ice Complex and
any other facilities that may require police assistance With repetitive events, there is a strong
concern on my part that the officers will not want to work a 40+ hour week and then work all of
these events. They get tired and I do not want an unsafe situation to develop for their full time job
of being an officer for the city.
We estimate that a stadium event will take at least ten (10) officers to work properly and the Ice
Complex could take from six (6) to twelve (12) depending on how things work out. Captain
Murphy has spoken to the Texas Tornado and they want us to work the traffic ingress/egress and
they want us to work inside the event. The Tornado want "rowdiness" to be part of the attitude
within the complex. We can back off, to a certain extent, on allowing rowdiness. However, there
would have to be enough officers present to assure that rowdiness did not turn into something much
worse
I am open to discuss this matter with you or anyone from Blue Line Ice Complex at your earliest
convenience. It should be added that this only applies to the limited use of officers at the complex.
The development of this entire area will bring more activity and the police will be involved to an
extent that exceeds the handling of the special events in the area

INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO Chief Tom Shockley REF PDMB 04/99/381
FROM. Captain R P Murphy DATE June 10, 1999
SUBJECT Blue line Ice Complex
With the Blue Line Ices Complex opening date becoming closer, I would like to express
some areas of concern My areas of concern are the costs associated with providsnrt
security inside the complex and traffic control before and after large events I recently
began a preliminary traffic control and security protection evaluation for our new Texas
Tornado Hockey Team We have learned that to properly provide security for Lugo
events at the Blue Line Ice Complex could prove to be labor intensive and costly The
yearly costs to supply security and traffic control with our police officers at 28 scheduled
Texas Tornado Hockey events could run upwards of $48,000 Even though the Texas
Tornado's would pay these costs, it shows that to properly provide security at other Blue
Line Ice events could be quite costly for the either the City or by private organs:ahuns
using the facility
I feel that given the quality of this facility that it will attract major ice skating events and
we will be required to provide the necessary type of Police Security My research
indicates that up to twelve police officers could be required to properly cover security at
this complex Since most security jobs average 5 hours per function at $29 00 an hour
per officer, this could cost $1740 00 per job to provide security At the present time our
overtime accounts could not handle the costs of these expenditures if they had to be
funded by the City
Without knowing how many or what type of events that will be scheduled at the
complex, I feel that City may have to fund monies to our overtime accounts to pay for
security at the complex I recommend that our overtime accounts be increased by 0
so we will be able to provide security for a minimum of 3 functions

INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 99-227
Date. October 11, 1999
Subject. Review and Discuss Proposed Tree
Preservation Ordinance
GENERAL SUMMARY •
City Council at the Special Workshop on September 20, 1999 reviewed and discussed
each section and gave Staff instructions to add clarifying language, correct errors and
delete words and phases to develop a better draft ordinance for consideration
Please note all additions are underlined and bolded (tree) and all deletions have
overstrikes and are bolded (tree).
Council Requested Changes
Draft as a stand-alone ordinance and not as a part of the Zoning Ordinance
• Add definitions of Grading Plan, Grading, Development Review Committee & Tree
Removal Authorization
• Revise definitions of Selective Thinning to match the Corps of Engineer's definition,
cut/fill to match the Public Works Design Manual, Critical Root Zone and Drip Line.
• Revise Section 300 Applicability to include the exception of Section 500.A.
> Eliminate the Parks and Recreation Department from reviewing and approving
requests for selective thinning.
)- Once a piece of property has been preliminary platted the developer is allowed by
right to remove any tree located within the right-of-way, utility or drainage easements
shown.
Revised Section 300 to exempt protected trees if the City requirements require cutting
and filling of the property
• Appeal of the Building Official's decision is to the Development Review Committee
(DRC) and then to City Council
Single family lots that have been finaled are not required to replace required
replacement trees
Discussed putting the tree replacements of the single family areas in the Landscape
Regulations. Staff has opted to located the requirement in both the Tree Preservation
Ordinance and the Landscape Regulations.
\WRH CITY HALLVOL1\DATA\PZ\Cases\Staff ReportsiR 99-227 10-11Tree Preservation doc Page 1 of 2
a ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS
Remaining Outstanding Issues
: The question was raised could credits to the re-forestation fund for land dedication
that is populated with trees be allowed. Such language can be drafted if Council so
desires.
• Does Council desire to exempt property zoned agricultural and being actively used for
agricultural purposes (farming, grazing etc.)?
: Establishing the effective date of this ordinance. We need to include language in the
ordinance that states any permits, plats, site plans approved prior to the approval date
shall not be required to meet the requirements of the Tree Preservation Ordinance.
(See draft language in Section 300.A.)
: Does Council desire to send copies to the various groups such as the Planning and
Zoning Commission, the Economic Development Advisory Committee or any others?
Do we want to limit construction activities in the critical root zone or the dripline of the
tree (see Exhibit "A")?
RECOMMENDATION:
To review and discuss any possible changes and authorize Staff to set a public
hearing date on October 25, 1999 to consider a final draft ordinance.
Respectfully submitted,

1. North Richland Hills Receives Career & Technology
Education Award
Kids working with cops, students producing their own TV shows, and
students getting on-the-job training before they ever leave high
school is what it's all about.
The City of North Richland Hills has been helping prepare students in
the Birdville Independent School District for the "real world" by
providing career opportunities which allow them to get hands on
experience through City programs and scholarships. For years, the
City of North Richland Hills has been offering career shadowing
opportunities and helping students get scholarships to better prepare
them for their journey into the world outside of school.
This year, the City received the "Best of Texas" recognition award for
those efforts from the Texas Career and Technology Council and the
Vocational-Technical Education Foundation of Texas.
This award was established to recognize outstanding achievements
by students enrolled in Career and Technology Education and
exemplary contributions by business, industry and labor toward viable
partnerships with education.
The City of North Richland Hills was nominated by the BISD for this
award. City representatives including Thomas Powell, Support
Services Director, Victor Jones, Building Services Superintendent,
and Jim Wilkins, Municipal Court Director, founded the Career and
Technology Scholarship Program. Those individuals presently chair,
and are actively involved in the program and host an annual benefit
scramble at Iron Horse Golf Course, which has raised $43,000 over
the past eight years for scholarships.
Also, the BISD Media Technology program and Channel 50 studio is
supported by the North Richland Hills Citicable. Citicable Director,
Greg Oldenburg led this partnership which provides strength to the
overall Media Technology program. Many of the students who
complete this program have gone on to work for Citicable upon
graduation and others even have gone into broadcasting as a career.
Additionally, the City of North Richland Hills Police Department
provides support and job shadowing experiences for the Law
Enforcement/Criminal Justice students. Chief Tom Shockley and his
Community Service Officers are responsible for these opportunities in
law enforcement.
As the City's Economic Development Director, Marty Wieder has
helped promote local employers' involvement in the BISD work-based
learning efforts as the program's unofficial cheerleader/ambassador,
having delivered several speeches to national, regional and local
vocational organizations on behalf of the BISD and North Richland
Hills. He has likewise made numerous presentations to the
program's classes and faculty members during his seven years with
the City.
And finally, Mayor Charles Scoma was a driving force in the Tech
Prep initiative while he served on the BISD school board and has
provided tremendous support to the overall BISD Career and
Technology Education Department in his capacity as Mayor of North
Richland Hills as well.
The award was presented to Mayor Scoma, City Manager Larry
Cunningham, Citicable Director Greg Oldenburg and Thomas Powell,
Support Services Director at the June 23 BISD School Board meeting
and will be displayed at City Hall.
2. Greg Oldenburg. Citicable Coordinator Receives
National Award for PSA
In September, Greg Oldenburg, Citicable Coordinator,
received the Award of Excellence from the City, County
Communications and Marketing Association (3CMA), an
affiliate of the International City Manager's Association, for
the "ShopNet" Public Service Announcement Video he
produced for Citicable and the Chamber of Commerce last
spring.
Out of more than 700 entries nationwide, there were only
150 cities or counties that received awards in print, video
and marketing productions.
Competition in the category of Public Service
Announcements for cities up to 200,000 population was
tough as Greg's production was compared to cities with
much greater populations. Many cities also have marketing/
PR firms produce their video productions, but Greg's was
produced totally in-house.
Judges in this category stated the following:
"Produced 100% in-house, this video featuring local
businesses rivals the quality of multi-million-dollar production
studios. The graphics are clean and do not overwhelm the
viewer with excessive information."
Greg traveled to Portland, Oregon last week to the national
conference to receive the award for this achievement.
•
Award
In the Parks Maintenance Division, congratulations go to Tim
Hightshoe and the NRH Parks and Recreation Department. The
Green Valley Soccer Complex has been selected as one of the first
recipients of the "Burbles". In June of this year, the Fort Worth Star-
Telegram sent out a survey inquiring about life in the "burbs" and
asked readers about their favorite places and activities.
Green Valley Community Park was selected as the:
"Best Place to Play Soccer".
Also, the North Richland Girl's Softball League praised the Parks
Maintenance Crews for a job well done on the fields at Walker's
Creek and Fossil Creek Parks for NRGSL's 14 and Under Girls
Softball Tournament. The tournament was held on June 26 & 27.
Staff worked very hard to prepare the fields after it had rained during
the week.
Thanks for continuing to raise the standard within the NRH Park
System and for a job well done.
4. NRH2O Family Water Park "Burble" Award
In June of this year, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram sent out surveys
inquiring about a life in the "burbs" and asked readers about their
favorite places and activities.
NRH20 was selected as the:
"Best Place to Swim" and the "Best Place for Family Fun"
This is an outstanding tribute to the staff at NRH2O. As always,
NRH2O continues to "exceed expectations".
5. Fire Department Receives Life Safety Achievement Award
The NRH Fire Department is the proud recipient of the 1998 Life Safety
Achievement Award by the Residential Fire Safety Institute (RFSI) for keeping
the community free of deaths from fire in the year 1998.
This Life Safety Achievement Award recognizes the North Richland Hills Fire
Department efforts and fire prevention activities that contributed to reducing
the number of lives lost in residential fires in North Richland Hills. The City
experienced zero fire deaths in structure fires in 1998. The commitment to
emergency prevention on our community through our fire prevention
programs including fire and life safety education resulted in this significant
achievement. All personnel in the Fire Department should be congratulated
for their efforts and encouraged to keep up the great work they do in
protecting the lives of the citizens we serve!
RFSI is a public interest group whose mission is to reduce residential fire
deaths and injuries. The RFSI advocates the use of residential fire sprinklers,
smoke alarms and teaching people fire safe behavior. One of its key
programs, Operation Life Safety, which assists fire departments with the
implementation of sprinkler and smoke alarm programs. The RFSI's
membership includes the United States Fire Administration, International
Association of Fire Chiefs, the National Association of State Fire Marshals
and private industry associations with an interest in residential fire safety.
The Life Safety Achievement Award recognizes local fire prevention activities
that contributed to reducing the number of lives lost in residential fires.
Although residential fires in the U.S. Account for only 20 percent of all fires,
they result in 80 percent of fire deaths. A total of 903 fire departments in the
U.S. and Canada received the 1998 Life Safety Achievement Award.
Congratulations and thank you to all mentioned for a job well done and for
representing the city in such an outstanding manner.
6. North Richland Hills Comes to Fort Worth's Resc e
To Assist With Broadcast of Wedgwood Memorial
Services
On Sunday morning, September 19, the City of Fort Worth Cable
production staff found itself in a tough predicament as they began
setting up to broadcast the memorial service at the TCU football
stadium for the Wedgwood Baptist shooting victims.
As production crews began setting up, they discovered that a
construction contractor had cut a cable line from TCU to Charter
Communications making it impossible for the staff to provide live
coverage of the memorial service.
One phone call to Mayor Scoma from the City of Fort Worth led to
instant response from the North Richland Hills staff to come to their
rescue. Assistant City Manager Steve Norwood and Donna Huerta,
Communications Director, located Citicable Coordinator Greg
Oldenburg who then met Deputy City Manager Randy Shiflet and Fort
Worth officials at the Citicable Studio to determine whether the
remote broadcast equipment NRH has would work for this occasion.
It was determined that the distance needed to broadcast was too far
for the City's equipment to handle, so Greg immediately phoned a
private AV vendor he frequently uses for Citicable. This vendor
generously offered to open their doors and loan Greg the proper
equipment to broadcast the services that afternoon.
Just hours before the program was to air, Greg accompanied Fort
Worth officials to the stadium and assisted the Fort Worth crew in
connecting the equipment necessary to provide the live broadcast.
He also stayed and assisted until the service was over and returned
the borrowed equipment to the generous vendor.
The City has received a personal telephone call from the Fort Worth
City Manager Bob Terrell and several written thank you letters from
the Fort Worth Cable Communication Office. These staff members
should be recognized their "heroic effort" in assisting the City of Fort
Worth during this trying time.

Porter Elementary School Located Between 6300-6700
Precinct Line Road (FM 3029) - Ordinance No. 2415
The Texas Department of Transportation requested the City raise the speed limit on
Precinct Line Road (FM 3029)from 40 mph to 45 mph beginning south of Mid-Cities
Boulevard and continuing north 1.517 miles (near Rumfield Road). This speed limit
increase was approved by City Council on September 27, 1999 (GN 99-107, Ordinance
No. 2411) State law only allows a 15 mph reduction in speed limit changes for school
zones. In order to be in compliance with the State law, the school zone speed limit for
W A. Porter Elementary School from 6300 to 6700 Precinct Line Road will need to be
increased from 25 mph to 30 mph
We are also recommending a change in the school zone afternoon time from 3:00 p.m. to
4:00 p.m. to 3.00 p.m. to 3 45 p.m
The proposed ordinance will revise Ordinance No 1830, which governs the school zones
within the City.

Department Finance / Public Works Council Meeting Date 10/11/99
Subject Award Bid for Traffic Supply Materials to Roadrunner Agenda Number PN 99-42
Traffic Supply in the Amount of$93,030
As part of the 1999/00 approved budget, Council appropriated $96,980 for the purchase of various
traffic materials. Formal bids were solicited for a company to supply all the required materials
under an annual contract. The results are outlined below.
_ - Roadrunner Traffic Supply $93,030
Vulcan Signs $21,706 (incomplete bid)
Centerline Supply $33,909 (incomplete bid)
Hall Signs $67,840 (incomplete bid)
Vendors were supplied a list of items and estimated quantities to bid on and will be required to hold
the prices for a one year period Sign blanks, sign faces, street markers, and reflective sheeting
are some of the items included under this contract. Materials will be ordered and delivered on an
as need basis. The only complete bid was submitted by Roadrunner Traffic Supply. Hall Signs
and Vulcan Signs are located out of state There would be freight charges added to every order
and the freight company would not unload trucks when deliveries are made. Centerline Supply is
local but we have experienced numerous delivery problems with this company in the past.
A total of 56 items were bid. Last year's contract was awarded to Roadrunner Traffic Supply in the
amount of$70,700 In comparing last year's contract to the recommended award the following
should be noted:
• Based on items bid on the same quantities as last year the total increase is $1,109 or
2%
• Additional quantities of materials amounted to $5, 383
• New reflective sheeting material was bid in 1999 amounting to $15,768.
Roadrunner Traffic Supply met all the specifications and general conditions of the bid They are a
local company and the City has been doing business with them for a number of years They have
always delivered quality materials and within the requested delivery time and are also very prompt
with emergency order deliveries
Recommendation To award the annual contract for traffic materials to Roadrunner Traffic Supply
in the amount of $93,030

Department Planning & Inspections Department Council Meeting Date 10/11/99 _
subject. Public Hearing to Consider the Request of Classic Concepts Agenda Number LRC 99-06
for a Variance to the Required Landscaping Regulations on Lots 2A and 2B, Block 1 ,
Nob Hill North Addition. (Located at 9288 Hunting Square)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION The applicant has submitted an application to vary from the
Landscaping Regulations of Ordinance No. 2375 in conjunction with PZ 99-21 Site Plan
Approval which is required because the parcels are within 200 feet of residential property.
The applicant is proposing to develop a 2,400 square-foot office building on a lot
containing 12,939 square feet and a 2,880 square-foot office building on a lot containing
14,672 square feet. The proposed office buildings will have access from Huntington
Square, a private street. The first 45 feet of the 195-foot lot depth is devoted to half of the
pavement of Huntington Square.
LANDSCAPE VARIANCES The proposed landscape plan does not meet the Landscape
Ordinance No. 2375. Variances needed are:
• Landscape setback of ten-feet required adjacent to all streets.
• Parking entrance islands required at each drive approach to the property.
The request to not provide the landscape setback or entrance islands is based on existing
surrounding development. The existing developments in Huntington Square are designed
with head-in parking stalls off of Huntington Square as is the proposed development.
Providing the landscape setback and entrance islands would look peculiar since there is
no other landscaping adjacent to Huntington Square The applicant is providing 20 feet of
landscaping between the front of the building and the pavement.
• Ten-foot buffer yard required between zoning districts, in this case 0-1 Office with AG-
Agricultural to the rear.
The required ten-foot buffer yard to the Agriculturally zoned property to the rear cannot be
provided due to an existing 20-foot wide paved fire lane. The fire lane extends around the
entire perimeter of Huntington square and is needed to provide fire access to all of the
parcels. The applicant is providing 30 feet of landscaping between the building and
pavement to the rear.

CITY OF
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
The applicant is designing the site plan to be consistent with the entire subdivision as it
was originally designed. The applicant does attempt to meet the spirit of the landscaping
regulations. Thirty-four percent (34%) (9,295 square feet) of the total lot area is
landscaped where only 15% is required. Trees and shrubs are planted between the paved
areas and the building.
RECOMMENDATION:
To approve the landscape plan of LRC 99-06 as submitted due to the irregular lot
created by the private street, the existing conditions and design of Huntington
Square, and the applicant's effort to meet the spirit of the Landscape Regulations.

Subject Consider the Request of Classic Concepts for Site Plan Agenda Number. PZ 99-21
Approval of a Commercial Development on Property to be known as Lots 2A & 2B, Block
1, Nob Hill North Addition. This Property is Located at 9288 Huntington Square.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Classic Concepts has submitted a site plan review on Lots 2A & 2B, Block 1, Nob Hill
North Addition, which is part of the overall Huntington Square office development. The site
plan application is proceeding concurrently with an application for a landscape variance.
The applicant is proposing to develop a 2,400 square-foot office building on a lot
containing 12,939 square feet and a 2,880 square-foot office building on a lot containing
14,672 square feet The proposed office buildings will have access from Huntington
Square, a private street. The first 45 feet of the 195-foot lot depth is devoted to half of the
pavement of Huntington Square.
Nob Hill North was originally platted in 1985. Of the seven original parcels, four are built
and one is under construction The existing buildings are of a residential character,
constructed of brick, and are occupied by office uses allowed in the 0-1 district. Several of
the improvements shown on the site plan are already installed as part of the overall
Huntington Square/Nob Hill North design:
• The private brick street with concrete curb and gutter known as Huntington Square
exists
• The 20-foot concrete fire lane at the rear of the parcel is installed and extends around
all of the parcels that make up Nob Hill North.
• The six-foot tall wood screening fence with brick posts and 1.5 foot tall brick base
extends around the south and west perimeters of Nob Hill North
Due to the existing improvements (private street, rear fire lane) and their necessity to the
developed parcels in Nob Hill North, the site does not meet the requirements of the
landscape regulations Since the property line extends to the centerline of Huntington
square, the required ten-foot landscape buffer from a street is impossible to install. The
required buffer yard to the rear cannot be planted due to the existing 20-foot fire lane.
These are conditions that every parcel in Nob Hill North is subject to. The applicant has
submitted a request for variances to the landscaping regulations that is also on tonight's
agenda.

THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 9288 HUNTINGTON SQUARE.
APPROVED
Ms Ratcliff explained that this site plan request is running concurrently with a
replat of this lot, which contains 14,672 square feet and is zoned O1-Office
Because this property is within 200' of residentially zoned property, site plan
approval is required. She explained that because of existing improvements and
their necessity to the developed parcels, the site does not meet the requirements
of the landscape regulations and the applicant has submitted an application for a
variance to the landscape regulations. Staff recommends approval of this site
plan, contingent upon the approval of the variance to the Landscape Ordinance.
Mr. Welch, seconded by Mr. Blue, moved to approve PZ 99-21, subject to
approval of LRC 99-06 being approved by the City Council. The motion
carried unanimously.

C-1 Commercial which allows auto bodywork only with a Special Use Permit The 6,075
square foot facility as approved in 1998 complied with all of the zoning requirements
There are 25 parking spaces on site and the building provides for seven overhead doors.
Service King's original intention for the facility was to conduct collision repair estimates
while the actual repairs would be done at another location When the original application
came through the process, it was with the understanding that no collision repair would be
conducted at this site The limited use of the facility was stressed by the City and by the
applicant to protect the single-family residences adjacent to the south The only separation
is by a screening wall and no landscape buffering (See attached letter from the applicant
to surrounding property owners).

PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE REQUEST OF SERVICE KING FOR A
SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW AUTO GLASS REPLACEMENT AND
PAINTLESS DENT REPAIR ON LOT 17, BLOCK 20, SNOW HEIGHTS
ADDITION. THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 6920 NE LOOP 820
DENIED
Ms. Ratcliff explained that the applicant is requesting a special Use Permit to
allow auto glass replacement and paintless dent repair at a facility currently
under construction. Service King's original intention for the facility was to
conduct collision repair estimates while actual repairs would be done at another
location.
Ms. Ratcliff explained that staff recommends denial of this request, explaining
that if this facility would have been developed with the intention of conducting
repairs, staff would have required additional buffering from the residences to the
south
Chairman Bowen opened the public hearing and called the applicant forward.
Mr Eddie Lennox presented this request, explaining the original intention for the
facility was for collision repair estimates, an insurance company & adjuster;
however, that deal has fallen through. They now propose auto glass
replacement and paintless dent repair for vehicles He stated there are no
compressors used and no loud noise would be generated. He believes the cars
sitting in line at the drive thru of the neighboring bank would generate more noise
and fumes in a day than this facility
Seeing no additional proponents, and no opponents, the public hearing was
closed
The general consensus of the Commission was that the use wasn't compatible to
single family residential and wouldn't be fair to the citizens abutting this property
Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Nehring, moved to deny PZ 99-22. The motion
carried unanimously.
Mr. Lennox was informed that he had 10 days to appeal the P&Z's decision to
the City Council

September 1, 1999
Mr. & Mrs. Larry Monschke
7020 Corona Dr.
Ft. Worth, TX 76180-7918
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Monschke:
I am the owner of the new Service King Collision Center (presently under construction)
adjacent to your property. The repair center will be completed within the next 20
days. I have requested that the City of North Richland Hills allow us to utilize the
northwest portion of our building for a glass replacement business. The auto glass
division will consist of two or three employees (manager, receptionist, and installer)
with offices located within the center. Most glass replacement will be serviced through
the use of mobil units, which means the glass replacement is usually performed at a
customer's residence, or place of business, and at collision repair shops. We
anticipate that the volume of glass replacement actually performed at this location will
only be about four per day. Replacing glass does not produce noise, nor does it cause
any chemical or environmental hazards.
On the east side of the center, we propose housing a paintless dent repair (PDR)
division. The PDR division will consist of a manager/technician and receptionist.
PDR is labor intensive, but involves no paints or chemicals. PDR involves removing
small dents from the sheet metal of an automobile, usually caused by hail or door ding
damage. Power tools are not used. The process does not produce noise, nor does it
cause any chemical or environmental hazards. The number of vehicles that would be
serviced by our PDR division would range from one to three per day.
We have assured the City of North Richland Hills there would be no overnight parking
outside of our building, and all collision repair would be performed at our repair
center located on Rufe Snow.
Prior to construction of our center, we had an agreement with an insurance company
and an automobile leasing company to lease the above-mentioned space. Due to
circumstances beyond anyone's control, the leases could not be consummated. We
recently approached the city with our alternate plan--to include our PDR and glass
divisions in our new center. The initial planning and zoning board will be reviewing
our request in the near future, and I would like your input before that time.

neighbors. To assist you in your decision process, we would like you and your family
members to visit us and tour our facility. We welcome the opportunity to demonstrate
our PDR and glass replacement process to you, as well as answer any questions you
may have. We will also be serving BBQ for you and your family to enjoy during your

CITY OF
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
Department Planning & Inspections Department Council Meeting Date: 10/11/99
Subject. Consider the Request of Samuel J. Finlay, representative Agenda Number PZ 99-23
of Skyline Norstar USA L.P., for Site Plan Approval of a Multi-Family Development on
Property to be known as Lot 2, Block 1, Silverado Addition and is part of Planned
Development 25. This Property is Located in the 8300 Block of Harwood Road.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION Mr Samuel Finlay has submitted a Site Plan Review
Application for Phase II of the Silverado Apartments located on Harwood Road. The site
plan for Phase I of this development was approved as part of Planned Development 25
(PD-25), created by Ordinance No. 2219, and passed by City Council on June 12, 1997.
Although the land area known as PD-25 is comprised of Phase I and II, only Phase I
received site plan approval with the adoption of the Ordinance. PD-25 establishes a
number of site characteristics that apply to both Phases of Silverado, however, most of the
Phase II site plan is subject to the R-7-MF Zoning District regulations contained in the
current zoning ordinance (See attached Ordinance No. 2219, Part 3).
Phase II contains 13 208 acres and the applicant proposes to build 208 units at a density
of 15.75 units per acre. The 208 units is the maximum allowed under PD-25. The density
of 15.75 units per acre is just under the allowed 16 units per acre in the R-7-MF Zoning
District. The applicant is providing 491 parking spaces where 482 spaces are required.
One hundred and sixty (160) of the spaces are covered by carports and 48 by garages
(208 total covered spaces), providing the required one covered space per unit.
The existing carports in Phase I have flat roofs and metal support columns, which were
allowed by the Zoning Ordinance when site plan approval was granted in 1997.
Regulations adopted in February 1999 require that carports now provide sloped roofs and
masonry columns. Phase II is subject to this change. While the applicant has agreed to
provide sloped roofs, they claim that requiring masonry columns is not practical in a multi-
family setting. Since columns must be placed in between parking spaces, and masonry
columns are much thicker than metal columns, the likelihood of damage to columns and/or
automobiles goes up. The applicant has submitted application (see attached) to the Zoning
Board of Adjustment for variance to the masonry column requirement.
Phase II will share the existing entry way of Phase I. This is specified in PD-25, Ordinance
2219, Part 2(10) which states, "there will be common entrance for the development
contained in this site plan and the future development on the western remaining tract.
Phase II will have an exit only drive at the western end. Phase I has a similar exit-way to
the east.

CITY OF
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
A traffic impact analysis (TIA) was completed by the applicant during Final Plat review for
Phase I. The TIA was completed assuming total build-out of Phase I and Phase II The
applicant has provided the traffic improvements recommended by the TIA (see the
attached recommendations of the TIA).
Phase II is directly adjacent to single family residential properties (zoned R-3) to the west
which front Colorado Boulevard. The applicant is providing a six-foot tall masonry
screening wall and 15-foot wide landscaped buffer which is five feet more than required
between multi-family and single-family residential properties.
Adjacent to the north across an 80-foot wide lake are single-family residential properties
known as Emerald Lakes and zoned R-3. Along the north property line, the applicant is
providing a wrought iron fence with masonry columns to match the existing fence of Phase
I. Technically, because of the residential property to the north, the applicant should provide
a masonry screening wall and landscaped buffer. The Phase I Site Plan was approved
showing the existing wrought iron fence even though the requirement for a masonry wall
did exist at the time. Because of this, the ordinance for PD-25 overrides the Zoning
Ordinance and does not require the applicant to obtain a variance from the masonry wall
requirement. Staff believes the lake provides adequate buffer and that the proposed
wrought iron fence should be consistent with the existing fence in Phase I. However,
Council may require as a condition of approval that the masonry wall and landscape buffer
be added to the site plan.
The original location of the trash compactor was closer to the southwest exit of the
property. The Planning and Zoning Commission requested the applicant relocate the
compactor to be further away from the single-family residences on Colorado Boulevard.
This property has not received final plat approval. A preliminary plat was approved in 1997.
Grading and drainage plans will be reviewed at the time of final plat application.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission at their meeting on September 23, 1999,
recommended approval of PZ 99-23 by a vote of 4 to 2 with the following conditions:
1. Allow continuation of the wrought iron fence with masonry columns to match
Phase I along the northern property line.
2. Require the carports to meet the current accessory structure requirements of
matching the roof pitch of the primary structure and masonry columns.
3. Relocate the garbage compactor at least 100 feet east of the single family
residences.
To approve PZ 99-23 as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
If City Council so desires, a condition of approval can be added to allow metal
columns for the carports contingent upon the Zoning Board of Adjustment granting
a variance from the masonry requirement. Otherwise, if the Zoning Board of
Adjustment grants the variance request, the applicant must return to the Planning
and Zoning Commission and City Council to amend the site plan.

PZ 99-23
CONSIDER REQUEST OF SKYLINE NORSTAR USA LP FOR SITE PLAN
APPROVAL FOR PHASE 2 OF THE MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT FOR
PROPERTY WITHIN 200' OF RESIDENTIALLY ZONED PROPERTY ON LOT
2, ELDORADO ADDITION. THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN THE 8500
BLOCK OF HARWOOD ROAD.
APPROVED
Ms. Ratcliff explained that the applicant has submitted site plan review for Phase
II of the Silverado Apartments on Harwood Road. Phase II contains 13.208
acres and the applicant is proposing to build 208 units, at a density of 15.75 units
per acre The applicant has provided 491 parking spaces; only 482 are required.
Of the 491 spaces, 208 are covered, which meets the one covered space per
unit requirement. The carports in Phase I have flat roofs and metal support
columns, however, accessory building regulations recently adopted require that
Phase II provide sloped roofs and masonry columns. Additional items discussed
in Ms. Ratcliffs summary included a previous Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA),
screening walls and living buffers, trash compactor location and platting of this
lot.
Ms. Ratcliff stated that staff recommends approval of PZ 99-23 contingent on the
property being platted prior to the issuance of any building permits, and provided
the Commission specify the fencing and buffering treatment for the northern
property line adjacent to Emerald Lakes Addition.
Mr Ed Stefonic, WSI Architects, presented the request. He explained that a TIA
was conducted in the beginning of the planned development process, as
required, and both phases were taken into consideration at that time.
Additionally he explained that since the existing carports in Phase I have flat
roofs and metal support columns, they are requesting a waiver on the carport
regulations, which would allow them to remain consistent.
Responding to a question, Mr. Stefonic stated that the trash compactor as shown
on the site plan is approximately 60' from residents and that location is most
favorable for emptying. He explained that while the trash compactor is
motorized, he is uncertain to the level of noise it generates.
Mr. Gary Silver, Skyline Norstar USA, stated that the compactor would be totally
enclosed with masonry screening walls, which would block any noise generated
Page 2 9/23/99
P 8 Z Minutes
by it. Additionally, he explained that only maintenance personnel would have
access to the compactor.
Mr. Tolbert expressed concern over a TIA that is nearly two years old, stating
that significant changes in the area could have potentially altered the outcome of
the original TIA.
Mr. Blue moved to approve PZ 99-23 provided the property is platted prior
to a building permit being issued, approving the wrought iron fence along
the lake, as requested, the trash compactor is relocated at least 100' east,
and the carports meet the recently adopted regulations.
The motion died for lack of a second.
Mr. Tolbert, seconded by Mr. Lueck, moved to deny PZ 99-23 — but were
informed by staff that site plan approval could not be denied.
Chairman Bowen stated he would resurrect Mr. Blue's motion and 2nd it. He
called for a vote. The motion carried with a vote of 4— 2. Messrs. Tolbert&
Lueck were opposed to this motion. Messrs. Bowen, Blue, Laubacher &
Welch were in favor.

a RECOMMENDATIONS
The following improvements are recommended for consideration by the City staff and their consultant:
• Restripe the existing striped median on the northbound approach at SH 26 and Harwood Road as a
channelized, left-turn lane to provide relief for traffic turning left at the intersection.
• Restripe the existing westbound approach at Davis Boulevard and Harwood Road as an exclusive,
right-turn lane and a shared through/left lane. This would enhance nght-turn-on-red maneuvers and
Improve the overall efficiency of the intersection.
U
CONCLUSION
Development of the Silverado Apartments is proposed for construction on the north side of Harwood Road,
between Colorado Boulevard and Grapevine Highway (SH 26). The proposed Silverado Apartments is
projected to generate 2,604 vehicle trip ends per day.
The roadway capacity of Harwood Road is adequate to support the proposed apartments' site-generated
traffic in addition to the existing traffic on the facility. The capacity of Harwood Road is based upon
NCTCOG guidelines and is equal to 25,000 vehicles per day. The projected volume and capacity for the
traffic on Harwood Road alter development yields a volume/capacity ratio of 0.48 for the 24-hour traffic
conditions. Due to limitations of the Highway Capacity Software, realistic analytical results are not
available for a left-turn turning movement from an unsignalized minor street or driveway to a four-lane,
high-volume arterial. The proposed driveway intersection capacities were not determined. It is felt that,
with the creation of gaps in the traffic flow due to the nearby signalized intersections, the left-turn
movement into and out of the site should be adequately accommodated.
The proposed Silverado Apartments will have a minimum impact on the intersections of Davis Boulevard
I (FM 1938) at Harwood Road and Grapevine Highway (SH 26) at Harwood Road. The net increase of
overall delay during the AM and PM peak hour is less than four seconds/vehicle, which is nominal.
I Based upon these observations, it is felt that the development of Silverado Apartments at the subject site
can be accommodated and will not produce any significant negative traffic impacts to the existing local
traffic environment. Changes in overall traffic flow after the development of Silverado Apartments are
n projected to be nominal. However, it is recommended that the existing striped median on the northbound
(� approach at SH 26 and Harwood Road should be restriped as a channelized, left-turn lane and the existing
westbound approach at Davis Boulevard and Harwood Road be restriped as an exclusive, right-turn lane
and shared through/left lane. Also, the installation of appropriate signage for the two proposed "exit only"
driveway openings on Harwood Road is recommended at the earliest opportunity to provide traveler
guidelines for site access.

CITY OF
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
Department Municipal Court Council Meeting Date 10-11-99
Subject. Consider Ordinance Establishing Technology Fee as Court Agenda Number GN 99-109
Cost in Municipal Court- Ordinance No. 2412
The 1999 Legislature passed into law the ability for Municipalities to adopt an optional fee of
$4.00 to be added to all citations for the purpose of developing and improving technology within
Municipal Courts. A city ordinance must be adopted to allow the collection of this specialized
fund The fund is a restricted use fund that can only be used for certain aspects of technology
improvement within the Municipal Court.
The items allowed by law for these funds to be used to purchase or support are as follows:
1. Computer Systems
2. Computer Networks
3. Computer Hardware
4. Computer Software
5. Imaging Systems
6. Electronic Kiosks
7. Electronic Ticket Writers; and
8. Docket Management Systems
The attached ordinance outlines the allowances by law for the use of these funds, the citations to
which this fee can be attached, and who will be responsible for administering this fund. This
ordinance would go into effect as soon as passed or a date of effectiveness set by Council.
These funds would then be used to purchase the new upgrade of the current Incode software
thereby allowing us to maintain the most current releases available. These funds will allow
overall improvements of our Court software with the addition of standardized imaging software as
well as supplying several needed improvements in the courtroom hardware.
Richland Hills has already set this fee into effect and most other Tarrant County Municipalities are
in the process of adopting this technology fee in the immediate future. Throughout the State of
Texas, it is estimated that between 95% and 98% of all Municipal Courts will adopt this fee within
the next year.
RECOMMENDATION: To adopt Ordinance No. 2412 allowing the collection of a $4.00 fee on all
citations not to include dismissals.

from $7,500 to $11,600, depending on work needed on each.
The results from the Allen Samuels Chevrolet of Waco were not as successful, and we
experienced several problems We do not recommend using them unless substantial
improvements in quality repairs and service is made
The refurbishing program includes, but not limited to engine, front-end, transmission, and
interior renovation of each vehicle. Each vehicle is evaluated to determine performance
ability and individual work needed to totally refurbish. Upon completion, vehicles should
perform for another three years and 80,000 to 100,000 miles each. Vehicles can only be
refurbished once.
To expedite the refurbishing process and to prevent delays it is necessary to have the
expenditure pre-approved. This will allow Staff to approve the actual cost of refurbishing up
to $53,200 when the cost estimates are received. Shaheen Chevrolet is recognized as the
leader in vehicle refurbishing We believe the refurbishing program has worked well, and it
can assist us with a cost-effective vehicle program.
Recommendation' To approve the expenditure not exceeding the amount of$53,200 to
Shaheen Chevrolet for the refurbishing of four 1996 Chevrolet Caprices.

Vehicle Refurbishing
In 1996 the General Motors Corporation made the decision to no longer produce
the Chevrolet Caprice. For the past eight years the Caprice was the most popular
vehicle used by law enforcement agencies. At the same time General Motors
made the announcement that they would have a police package Chevrolet Tahoe
in about two years and the cost of the police package Ford Crown Victoria,
having no competition, increased considerably. With the Caprice being
considered the best law enforcement vehicle ever built, many agencies did not
want to change over to the Crown Victoria so the concept of refurbishing the
Caprice was developed by Shaheen Chevrolet in Lansing, Michigan. The idea of
refurbishing was to spend up to around half the cost of a new vehicle to put the
vehicle in near like new condition and to prolong the life to a minimum of 80
percent of the original life.
Shaheen Chevrolet originally dedicated half of their service department strictly for
refurbishing vehicles. They built a new warehouse to store hundreds of new
engines, transmissions, and suspension parts with a goal of doing a complete
vehicle refurbishing with a two-week turn around. No other entity in the United
States has made the commitment to refurbishing as Shaheen Chevrolet In
November 1997, Shaheen Chevrolet refurbished seven of our Police Department
patrol vehicles at a cost of $7,500 to $11,600. Before the vehicles were delivered
back to North Richland Hills, City staff visited Shaheen Chevrolet and inspected
the vehicles. No deficiencies were found.
To date Shaheen Chevrolet has refurbished nine Police Department patrol
vehicles. The program has been very successful by reducing he cost of
purchasing new vehicles, reducing maintenance cost, and by extending the life of
the existing fleet.
Two years ago Allen Samuels Chevrolet in Waco, Texas decided to start a
refurbishing program at the request of the City of Waco. Their refurbishing
program has not been as successful. Allen Samuels Chevrolet has refurbished
two City vehicles. The last vehicle was sent in July of this year. It took six weeks
to get the vehicle refurbished and another two weeks to get an invoice. The
invoice did not match the work performed and the work performed was
incomplete. Several items that needed to be replaced or repaired were
overlooked.
The Police Department supports the refurbishing program and long range plans
are to refurbish the Police Department patrol Tahoes currently in service. An
analysis has been made of operation and maintenance costs for the refurbished
vehicles as compared to new vehicles, and they compare favorably. The
refurbished vehicles are slightly higher in costs to operate and maintain, but only
about $250 per year more. We believe the additional costs are reasonable,
acceptable, and are cost effective.

Subject Award of Contract for Engineering Services to Teague Agenda Number PU 99-46
Nall and Perkins, Inc. for Design of the Walker Branch
Channel Improvements Project— Resolution No. 99-72
Staff has negotiated an agreement with Teague Nall and Perkins, Inc. to provide
engineering services for the design of the Walker Branch Channel Improvements Project.
The fee for the engineering services is $99,110.
This drainage improvement project is part of the 1994 Bond Program. The project will
consist of stabilizing the sides and reconstructing the channel so that it can carry the 100-
year storm The project will begin at Harwood Road and end approximately 1300 feet
downstream.
The proposed agreement has been reviewed by the City Attorney and is attached. Listed
below is a summary of the key tasks to be performed by the engineer
1 Prepare preliminary plans and attend meetings with the Corps of Engineers to
determine the type of channel permitted by the Corps for this section of Walker
Branch. The engineer will also prepare the necessary documents for a 404 Permit.
2. Conduct flood plain analysis and prepare final construction plans, specifications,
and contract documents to complete the drainage improvements.
3 Prepare the necessary easement documents.
The original engineering budget did not include the preparation of easement documents,
the additional work and time involved to obtain a 404 Permit, and the Letter of Map
Revision (LOMR). Staff was able to negotiate with the engineer to include some additional
engineering and stay within the budget. The LOMR could not be done within the budget,
and is therefore not part of this project. The itemized Scope of Services (Attachment -.A")
provides a detailed description of the tasks to be performed by the engineer.
The engineer's total fixed fee of $99,110 is 12.39% of the approved construction budget of
$800,000. Sufficient funds are available for this project

Walker Branch Channel Improvements
Jem Jo to Harwood Road
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project consists of constructing a reinforced concrete trapezoidal channel from Harwood Road
to Jerri Jo. The proposed channel is estimated to be approximately 45'to 50'wide at the bottom
It is believed that this project will reduce the chances of flooding for adjacent property owners
In addition some of the property adjacent to the channel could be removed out of the 100-year flood
plain after approval by FEMA (The necessary LOMR's required by FEMA to remove the property
out of the flood plain is not part of this project)

ATTACHMENT 'A'
ITEMIZED SCOPE OF SERVICES
GENERAL
A The following assumptions were used by the ENGINEER (Teague Nall and Perkins, Inc.)for the preparation
of the scope of services for this project
1 All work is expected to be performed within public right-of-way and/or existing dedicated easements.
except as noted below Due to the location of existing development completely surrounding this
project, working space will be severely limited Costs have been included in this proposal for
preparing up to six (6)additional easements, whether permanent easements or temporary working
easements It is the opinion of the ENGINEER that the availability of working space in the shopping
center south of the PROJECT is critical to the execution of the construction of the improvements to
be designed We urge early attention to this situation to ensure adequate access to the project site
Lack of such access could have a dramatic impact on construction costs.
2 The ENGINEER will assist the City in coordinating with the Corps of Engineers An Individual Permit
will likely be required since the project exceeds 500' in length and 0 33 acres of impact on the stream
Preparation of this permit is provided for in this proposal No provisions are made in this
AGREEMENT for off-site mitigation In the event that off-site mitigation is required by the Corps, a
fee for the necessary additional services involved in such off-site mitigation will be negotiated and
authorized prior to completing the work
3 No geotechnical work is planned for design of this project
4 No utility relocations are anticipated as part of the scope of this project Existing sanitary sewer
manholes within the limits of the project will be adjusted and fitted with watertight lids as needed.

•
SPECIAL SERVICES
The scope of SPECIAL SERVICES to be performed by the ENGINEER is as follows
1 FIELD DESIGN SURVEYS
a Perform field design surveys to tie improvements and topographic features horizontally and
vertically within the project limits which will be required to design and perform the work The
survey will depict existing features within the project limits, including pavement, fences,
utilities, trees, buildings and other features that will affect design and construction Sufficient
data will be obtained to prepare cross sections of the proposed project Surveys will show
all visible existing improvements and features within the right-of-way limits throughout the
project.
b. Tie the horizontal and vertical location of known underground utilities based upon available
information and "field locates'or markings provided by the utility companies ENGINEER will
rely solely on the cooperation of the various utility companies and any information they or the
CITY make available
c Horizontal control monumentaton and vertical bench marks will be established
2 BOUNDARY SURVEYS
Perform sufficient boundary surveying, including research, field surveys and office calculations, to
verify the limits of the existing easements and/or right-of-way available for construction of the
proposed channel improvements
3 EASEMENT DOCUMENT PREPARATION
Because the only readily apparent access to the channel will be from the south over the shopping
center site, some form of temporary work space easement is anticipated for that property

City Council in June 1999 requested the Planning and Zoning Commission to complete
the review of the remaining ideas proposed by the Land Use Ad Hoc Committee
(LUAHC). Mr. Dan Seiko of Dunkin, Seiko and Associates was hired to assist the
Planning and Zoning Commission and Staff to review their ideas The Commission met
July 27, 1999 to review the LUAHC's general ideas and concepts, discuss the intent and
look at planning alternatives Mr. Seiko, on August 19, 1999 met with the Planning and
Zoning Commission to review an outline of specific ideas and concepts to determine how
they wanted to proceed with developing specific language for Zoning Ordinance and
Subdivision Regulations amendments. September 21, 1999, Mr. Sefko met again with
the Planning and Zoning Commission to present specific language for amendments to the
Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Regulations
Staff at the September 21, 1999 meeting requested the Commission not schedule a
meeting until October to give time for in-depth review of the proposed language and to
review the language in legislative style (new language —bolded and underlined deleted
language — bolded and overstrikes) to look for inconsistencies and to make sure the
language was user friendly for the public's use
The Planning and Zoning Commission has scheduled one last meeting on October 14,
1999 to review and discuss the proposed language prior to setting a public hearing to
consider amending the Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Regulations.
Planning Staff will be presenting to City Council a general conceptual overview of the
proposed amendments. The purpose is to acquaint Council with the Commission's ideas
in preparation for a public hearing to be possibly scheduled with City Council on
November 22, 1999 and to receive feed back from Council to give to the Commission
prior to their public hearing tentatively set for October 26, 1999 Please find attached an
outline of proposed amendments
