3. IR 2003-061 Discuss Vehicle and Boat Parkinq in Residential Areas
Item placed on agenda for discussion at the request of Councilwoman Johnson.
Councilwoman Johnson advised of her concerns with the visual restrictions caused by
large recreational vehicles stored or parked in residential areas. Councilwoman
Johnson advised she would like to see large motor homes and recreational vehicles
stored behind the building line. Mr. Cunningham advised that Staff surveyed the
surrounding cities for their regulations on recreational vehicle parking and the survey
results are included in the council packet. Mr. Cunningham advised if Council wished to
consider regulations, direction from Council would be needed - i.e, parking behind
building line, height restrictions, length restrictions, etc. Mr. Cunningham stated that
small vehicles that do not present site visual problems should be allowed, i.e, pickup
campers, dirt bikes, etc. There was discussion of situations in older neighborhoods
where there would be a problem getting recreational vehicles in the back or side yards.
There are also situations where the parking of recreational vehicles in the front will
extend over the right-of-way. Mr. Dave Green, Zoning Administrator, explained the
current ordinance. Current ordinance allows for parking on side or rear yards with a
screened 6' solid fence; front does not require any screening. Ordinance also requires
vehicle to be parked on a minimum 9' x 18' concrete or asphalt surface. Council
discussed whether to consider the elimination of front parking of recreational vehicles.
Consensus was to refer it to the Planning and Zoning Commission for a
recommendation with direction that if there is an existing motor home or recreational
vehicle to consider some type of grandfathering with a time limit. Council concern is
with the proliferation of recreational vehicles as the city continues to grow. Mayor

DEVELOPMENT, L TD, FOR A REVISION TO THE APPROVED WAL-MART
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT SITE PLAN LOCATED IN THE 8500 BLOCK OF
PRECINCT LINE ROAD (3.911 ACRES) - ORDINANCE NO. 2710
APPROVED
Mayor Trevino opened the Public Hearing and called for the applicant to present
request.
Mr. Richard Williams, GSB Architects, representing K.B. Alexander, presented request
to revise the approved Wal-Mart planned development site plan. Mr. Williams advised
they were seeking approval for a retail shopping center and at the request of the City,
the removal of a masonry-screening wall on the west side of the property.
Mr. Dave Green, Zoning Administrator, reviewed the details of the Wal-Mart planned
development as originally approved several years ago. One of the conditions of the
original approval requires any subsequent development of the surrounding pad sites to
be approved as separate amendments to the plan. Applicant is requesting approval of
a 31,600 square foot general retail center to be located on a portion of Lot 2. Mr.
Green discussed the proposed building design, materials and the access to the pad
site. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval on May 15, 2003
by a vote of 4-0.
Council discussed the request with questions on landscaping at the back of the
property, signage on the property and whether the outside lighting was adequate for
security. In response, Mr. Green advised that landscaping is required along the portion
of Precinct Line Road fronting the development. The City has requested that the
masonry screening wall at the back be removed to provide adequate fire protection to
the rear of the proposed building. One masonry monument sign will be located on the
site and two 25 foot light poles are proposed for the parking area.
Mr. Williams advised the Council that since submittal of the request they have
determined a need for an additional light pole.
Mayor Trevino called for anyone wishing to speak for or in opposition to the request to
come forward.

"AG" AGRICULTURAL TO "PD" PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR "U"
INSTITUTIONAL USES LOCATED IN THE 7300 BLOCK OF PRECINCT LINE ROAD
(5.346 ACRES) - ORDINANCE NO. 2711
APPROVED
Mayor Trevino opened the Public Hearing and called for applicant to present the
req uest.
Mr. James Brittain, 3908 South Freeway, Fort Worth, representing the property owner,
presented request to change zoning from Agricultural to Planned Development for
Institutional uses.
Mr. Glen Whitley, County Commissioner Precinct 3, further explained Tarrant County's
plans for the property to demolish and rebuild the existing maintenance facility to a
more modern facility. Commissioner Whitley presented the proposed site plan for the
property. Commissioner Whitley discussed and answered Council questions regarding
the elevations of the building, landscaping, screening, design of building, materials and
access.
Mr. Dave Green, Zoning Administrator, advised the County is requesting a rezoning so
the new facility will conform to current zoning regulations. The site is not platted;
however the Planning and Zoning Commission has approved a preliminary plat. The
request is a redevelopment planned development which allows for variances as the
Council deems appropriate. The following variances were outlined by Mr. Green and
discussed by Council:

To permit metal facades for the service facility and vehicle storage buildings
To delete the building façade offset requirement for these same buildings
To permit a flat roof for the fuel island canopy - applicant will be using the existing
canopy
To provide asphalt paving for the vehicle storage stalls
To provide relief from constructing required sidewalk along Precinct Line Road until the
adjacent property to the north is developed
To keep the existing cyclone and barbed-wire fencing along the west property line
To utilize the existing live screen of shrubs along the west property line
To provide relief from screening of the refuse container.
Mr. Green advised that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval by
a vote of 4-0 subject to the stipulation that the proposed site plans and construction
plans match.
Mayor Trevino called for anyone wishing to speak in favor or in opposition to the
request to come forward.
There being no one wishing to speak, Mayor Trevino closed the public hearing.
COUNCILMAN METTS MOVED TO APPROVE PZ 2003-08. COUNCILWOMAN JOHNSON
SECONDED THE MOTION.
Mayor Pro Tem Tolbert asked that it be noted that this is a redevelopment request and
that if it was anyone other than the County, he would be opposed to many of the
variances; i.e., the flat roof canopy. Mayor Pro Tem Tolbert recognized the County's
limited budget was an issue and county taxes would be affected without the variances.
Mayor Pro Tem Tolbert stated that the approval of the request was not to be a
precedence. Several council members also agreed with Mayor Pro Tem Tolbert's
comments.
Commissioner Whitley commented that they were going to try to move the existing
canopy to the new location, but if it does not work they will install a pitched roof canopy
that meets city regulations.
Motion to approve carried 6-0.

PZ 2003-10 PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A REQUEST FROM A. C.
MCFARLAND FOR A ZONING CHANGE FROM "AG" AGRICULTURAL TO "TC"
TOWN CENTER DISTRICT FOR NEIGHBORHOOD GENERAL SUB-ZONE USES
LOCATED IN THE 8100 BLOCK OF BRIDGE STREET AND THE 6200 BLOCK OF
SHIRLEY DRIVE (4.030 ACRES) - ORDINANCE NO. 2712
APPROVED
Mayor Trevino opened the Public Hearing and asked for the applicant to present the
request.
Mr. James Brock, 6200 Shirley Drive, representing the Newman Family and AC.
McFarland Development, presented request to rezone property from AG to Town
Center District. Applicant has agreed to the Town Center guidelines and has an
agreement with Home Town to develop proposed site in accordance with Town Center
Development standards and regulating plan. Mr. Brock stated the plan is to bring Ada
Lane south into Bridge Street, which will help to eliminate the traffic concerns by taking
the traffic to the light on Davis. They have agreed to a buffer on the east side of the
property and the engineer is working on putting the alley ways into a v-shape to
eliminate any water concerns of the neighbors. Mr. Brock advised they would not
displace any water to the east side.
Mr. Dave Green, Zoning Administrator presented a summary of the case, Planning &
Zoning recommendation and Staff recommendation. Mr. Green discussed the
agreement between the developers of the tract and Home Town/Arcadia in which the
developer has agreed to develop the site according to Home Town guidelines. The
Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval on May 15 by a vote of 4-0.
Staff is recommending the attachment of some items to the ordinance that was brought
to staff's attention earlier in the day. Three subzones in the regulating plan permit this
type of development, but only one subzone actually permits this size of townhouse -
minimum lot size, frontage and depth. Staff referred to it as the General Subzone in the
caption and ordinance, but is recommending that it be changed to the Center Zone.
The Center Zone will allow the development as it is proposed on the lots as proposed.
Staff is recommending approval with the attachment of the following three exhibits to
the ordinance - 1) the Residential Regulating Plan for the Home Town area - specifies
the building elevations, building design, building materials; 2) Town Center AV-80-36
thoroughfare standard for Ada Lane and 3) Town Center Development Standards.
Councilman Whitson advised of three concerns - 1) drainage issue, which is being
addressed; 2) privacy; and 3) safety and security of citizens. Councilman Whitson was
concerned with Cambrian Way, the alleys on the west and east side and Ada Street
dumping into Shirley Drive. The alley ways come back into the main street on the south
side but not on the north side. Councilman Whitson was concerned with so many
streets intersecting Shirley Drive at one point.
City Council Minutes
June 09, 2003
Page 10
Staff advised there had been some discussion with the engineer on making the access
to the alley on the north the same as the south access and that the engineer did not
have a problem with the revision.
Council discussed the standards for A V-80-36 thoroughfares and the compliance of all
requirements between Arcadia and the applicant.
Mayor Trevino called for anyone wishing to speak in favor to come forward.
Mr. Dean Mills, 6117 Roaring Springs, advised he originally submitted a request to
speak in opposition, but was now in support of the project. Mr. Mills advised he had
worked out some terms with the developer.
Mayor Trevino called for anyone wishing to speak in opposition to come forward.
Ms. Irene Beckelman, 6205 Shirley Drive, was concerned with the alley and drainage.
Ms. Carol Werner, 6109 Roaring Springs, did not oppose but was concerned with
privacy. The lots on Roaring Springs are lower than Ada Lane and she would like to
see one-story homes instead of two-story homes, and a ten foot buffer instead of the 5
foot buffer.
Staff advised the drainage plans will be submitted to the Public Works Department and
the developer will be required to meet the city's codes and regulations.
There being no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Trevino closed the public hearing.
COUNCILWOMAN JOHNSON MOVED TO CHANGE THE ZONING FROM AG TO TOWN CENTER,
CENTER SUBZONE WITH THE ATTACHMENTS OF THE RESIDENTIAL REGULATIONS,. THE STREET
BE A BOULEVARD A V-80-36 (ADA LANE) AND THE REQUIREMENT OF THE T -OFF OF THE ALLEY
- THAT THEY BRING IT BACK AND NOT HAVE THE TWO ALLEYS TIE INTO SHIRLEY DRIVE - AND
SUBMISSION OF ARCHITECTURAL RENDERINGS AND DETAILED LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE.
COUNCILMAN LEWIS SECONDED THE MOTION.
The Council further discussed their concerns with the alley ways stubbing into Shirley
Drive. There was discussion on the alley stubbing into Cambrian Way. Mr. Brock
advised he met with Mr. Quinto earlier in the evening about stubbing the alley out to
Cambrian Way and was advised that they were going to redesign that area. Mr. Quinto
is unsure how the redesign will lay out and Cambrian Way may not exist. The
preference is that if Cambrian Way will not exist that the alleys stub back into Ada on
the north as done on the south. Mr. Brock pointed out that because of drainage it might
not be possible to completely close the alley at the north.

COUNCILWOMAN JOHNSON AMENDED MOTION ON THE CONDITION THAT THE TEE-OFF OF THE
ALLEYS ARE DEVELOPED WITH THE APPROVAL OF STAFF WHO WILL ADDRESS COUNCIL'S
CONCERNS OF TOO MANY ENTRANCES ON SHIRLEY DRIVE. COUNCILMAN LEWIS SECONDED
THE AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION.
Councilman Metts asked for point of clarification regarding the privacy issue - did the
motion cover the ten foot rather than five foot setback.
Mayor Trevino advised this is a zoning issue and setback is not covered.
Motion to approve carried 6-0.

Mayor Trevino opened the Public Hearing and asked the applicant to present the

Mr. Dave Green, Zoning Administrator, presented request on behalf of City of North
Richland Hills. The purpose of the replat is to re-adjust the boundaries between the
proposed park facility and the adjacent development. The property was originally
platted as part of the Glenann Addition and State Law requires a public hearing be held
prior to the approval of any replat of the original residential addition. The Planning &
Zoning Commission approved the request.
Mayor Trevino called for anyone wishing to speak in favor of the request to come
forward.
Ms. Donna Duckworth, 8401 Glenann Drive, advised she was in favor of the
neighborhood park, but would like Council to make arrangements for parking.
Mr. James Duckworth, 8401 Glenann Drive, questioned if right-of-way was needed on
Amundson, would it be on Amundson Drive or Amundson Road.
Mr. Mike Curtis, Public Works Director, advised the right-of-way would be needed on
Amundson Drive.

ORDINANCE NO. 2696
APPROVED
Mr. Mike Curtis, Public Works Director, presented Ordinance No. 2696. State
regulations require a 150-foot radius sanitary control easement around all wells used for
potable water. The City's wells are very old and installed before the requirement by the
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for sanitary control easements.
TCEQ has advised the City that in order to comply with State regulations, the city will
need to provide documents of the sanitary control easements. Because the City does
not have the necessary easements and cannot comply, an exception to the rule has
been requested. TCEQ will allow the City to approve an ordinance that provides for
protective measures around the well sites. The proposed ordinance will meet TCEQ's
requirements for substitution of the sanitary control easements.
MAYOR PRO TEM TOLBERT MOVED TO APPROVE ORDINANCE No. 2696. COUNCILMAN WELCH

Kudos Korner
Every Council Meeting, we spotlight one of our employees for the great things they do.
A letter of appreciation was received from a NRH resident for the assistance Officers
David Cullins and Jon Stieg offered after she locked her keys and her six month old son
in the vehicle. Even with the inclement weather the officers worked hard to get inside
the locked car. Afterward they gave my son a teddy bear to console him. The resident
was deeply touched by the actions of concern and kindness.
