Adjournment CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION COVER SHEET August 27, 1998 PS 98-31 Request of Ralph Schwab for a Preliminary Plat of Lot 1, Block 1, Schwab Addition. (Located at 8713 Stewart) Mr. Schwab is the owner and developer of this 2.2 acre tract of land. Mr. Schwab previously appeared before the Commission in conjunction with a rezoning case. Mr. Schwab’s property is zoned R1S- Special Residential. The applicant intends to construct a home on the property. The issues associated with this Preliminary Plat are as follows: 1. Drainage Analysis: The Master Drainage Plan for the City of NRH indicates the need for future storm drain improvements at the Southwest corner of the property. The Public Works Department is not opposed to a covenant being signed for the future improvements. The applicant has been advised of this and has agreed to sign the covenant. 2. Sewer: There is currently no sewer line within 300 feet of the property. Consequently, Mr. Schwab will be using a septic system if approval from Tarrant County Health Department and the Public Works Department can be obtained. 3. Water: Water is available from an existing 8-inch line at the rear of the property. 4. Fire Hydrant Coverage: There is an existing fire hydrant located to the east on Chilton Drive, but it does not protect the entire lot. A new fire hydrant requiring an extension of the waterline in Chilton Drive is required to provide adequate fire protection. 5. ROW Dedication: Stewart Drive is indicated as an R2U road on the Master Thoroughfare Plan. This requires 50 feet of ROW. The applicant has been advised of this dedication. However, the applicant has constructed brick columns in the ROW. The Building Inspection Department has no record of permits being issued for this construction. The applicant is requesting that the masonry columns be allowed to encroach in the ROW dedication. 6. Street Improvements: Stewart Drive is an unimproved road at this time. The street needs to be improved to provide curb and gutter. The escrow amount for this construction is $41,222.09. Public Works is not opposed to a covenant being signed for the street improvements. The applicant has been advised of this and has agreed to sign a covenant. 7. Sidewalks: Sidewalks are a requirement adjacent to all public streets. The applicant has agreed to this requirement provided that it is also included in covenant. 8. Street Lights: The applicant has not shown the location of streetlights in the region. The applicant has been advised that streetlights are required. The applicant is aware that an additional street light may be required. RECOMMENDATION: To approve the plat subject to ROW dedication, requiring the relocation of the fence when the street is improved, and providing an additional streetlight if required. PUBLIC ACTION SCHEDULE _________________________________ Christopher D. Baker P & Z Commission: 08/27/98 Planner City Council: N/A CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION COVER SHEET August 27, 1998 PS 98-30 Request of Rob Adams for a Final Plat of Lots 1R and 2, Block 6, Tapp Addition. (Located at 6401 N.E. Loop 820) Rob Adams of Adams Consulting Engineers has been retained by Wal-Mart to prepare the plat needed for the expansion of the current Wal-Mart. The major portion of the property is zoned C2- Commercial with a smaller portion zoned I-2 Medium Industrial. The property contains 26.9 acres of land. The Planning and Zoning Commission on June 11, 1998 approved the Preliminary Plat. The issues associated with this plat are as follows: 1. Drainage: This development includes construction of two detention ponds on site to supplement existing storm drainage facilities. The Public Works Department is agreeable with this approach for handling storm drainage. 2. Sanitary Sewer: The developer is extending all necessary sanitary sewer service to accommodate the proposed development. Sewer lines for the development are private and will be owned and maintained by the property owner. 3. Water: The water lines in Industrial Blvd. and along Loop 820 Frontage Road are being extended by the developer in accordance with Public Works design criteria. 4. Visibility Easements: The applicant has agreed to provide the necessary visibility, sidewalk, and utility easements at the intersection of Boulder and Industrial Park. 5. Driveway Spacing: The applicant has been advised that all proposed drives on the 820 Frontage Road must be approved by the State. 6. Sidewalks: During the Preliminary Plat the Planning and Zoning Commission waived the sidewalk requirement adjacent to the 820 Frontage Road. Sidewalks are existing adjacent to Boulder Drive. RECOMMENDATION: To approve the Final Plat request as presented. PUBLIC ACTION SCHEDULE _________________________________ Christopher D. Baker P & Z Commission: 08/27/98 Planner City Council: 09/14/98 CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION COVER SHEET August 27, 1998 PS 98-35 Request of Matt Speight for a Replat to be Known as Lots 1R1 and 1R2, Block 30, Holiday North Addition, Section 8. (Located in the 5500 Block of Davis Blvd.) J.B. Sandlin is the property owner and Matt Speight is the agent is this replatting case. This property was originally platted as one large parcel. A Self-Storage facility was constructed on the site behind the frontage along Davis Blvd. Mr. Sandlin is now in the process of selling the Davis Blvd. frontage and wants to create lots for the user. The issues associated with this replat are as follows: 1. Drainage: This property has been previously platted. There are approved grading plans for the lot. The developer has been advised that the approved plans are acceptable to the Public Works Department if; the site is constructed by March 1999 and that the site design and building layout does not significantly change. If these conditions are not met, then the site must be re- engineered. 2. Utility Plans: Again, there are approved utility plans for the property. The developer has been advised that these plans are acceptable to the Public Works Department if; the site is constructed by March 1999 and that the site design and building layout does not significantly change. If these conditions are not met, then the site must be re-engineered. 3. Sidewalks: The NRH Parks Department is completing construction of a hike and bike trail in the TU Electric Easement. A portion of this trail runs adjacent to Davis Blvd. and in front of the property being platted. It is the opinion of both the Planning Department and the Public Works Department that because sidewalks are under construction, the applicant has no obligation for additional sidewalks. RECOMMENDATION: To waive the sidewalk requirements and approve the replat as presented. PUBLIC ACTION SCHEDULE _________________________________ Christopher D. Baker P & Z Commission: 08/27/98 Planner City Council: 09/28/98 CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION COVER SHEET August 27, 1998 PS 98-41 Request of Michael Rader for an Amended Plat of Lots 6 & 7, Block 4, Industrial Park Addition. (Located at 5619 Rufe Snow Drive) Mr. Michael Rader is the owner of this two-lot subdivision, which was initially approved as a Final Plat on May 11, 1998. The developer of one of the lots, Lot 6, is proposing the construction of a new lubrication center. The location of the building will extend into the five-foot utility easement, which is located along the south property line. The proposed amended plat deletes a portion of the five-foot utility easement where the proposed building will be placed on the lot. Staff is not opposed to the deletion of this portion of the five-foot utility easement since an additional ten-foot utility easement is located on the adjacent property to the south and is adequate enough to accommodate utility extensions to the west of these two lots. RECOMMENDATION: To approve the amended plat as presented. ____________________________________ Barry LeBaron, AICP Director of Planning & Inspection Services PUBLIC ACTION SCHEDULE: Planning & Zoning Commission: 8/27/98 City Council: 9/14/98 CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION COVER SHEET August 27, 1998 PZ 98-29 Public Hearing to Consider the Request of Robert Hasty for a Zoning Change from Ag-Agricultural to C1-Commercial on Tracts 11C1, 11C, 11E, 11D1, and 11D, T. Peck Survey and Tract 2 Brentwood Estates Addition. (Located in the 8600 Block of Davis Blvd.) Mr. Hasty is representing several property owners in this rezoning application containing approximately 18.8 acres of land. These parcels are situated between Davis Blvd. and the Steeple Ridge Addition. A zoning map is attached that provides information as to zoning of the surrounding properties. Mr. Hasty appeared before the P&Z Commission on July 9 (minutes attached). At that time the P&Z voted to table Mr. Hasty’s rezoning request in order to give the City Council more time to discuss and consider the presentation made by Citizens regarding the establishment of an overlay zone in the North Davis Blvd. area. The City Council did hear and review the citizens presentation for a North Davis Boulevard Overlay Zone and has indicated that this will be a consideration of the Ad-Hoc Committees currently being formed. The committee is scheduled to be seated in the first half of September. As a result, there has been no significant progress made in considering the establishment of an overlay zone. The currently adopted Comprehensive Land Use Plan indicates this region to be commercial. Mr. Hasty is requesting C1- Commercial at this location. His request is partially in conformance with the Plan. Mr. Hasty’s request includes property that extends from Davis Boulevard to and abutting the Steeple Ridge Addition. The NRH Master Plan shows commercial property at this location at a depth of 300’. If an overlay zone for the North Davis Blvd. area is established it is anticpated that additional regulations will be created that are not currently contained in the Zoning Ordinance. Additionally, major water and sewer facilities are not currently available in this vicinity, which suggests that the timing for rezoning may not be proper. ___________________________ PUBLIC ACTION SCHEDULE: Christopher Baker Planning & Zoning Commission: 8/27/98 Planner City Council: 9/28/98 CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION COVER SHEET August 27, 1998 PZ 98-31 Public Hearing to Consider the Request of Tommy Kline for a Zoning Change from R6T-Townhomes to PD-Planned Development for Single Family Homes on Blocks 21, 32, and 33 Holiday North Addition. (Located in the 5500 Block of Holiday Lane) Tabled July 9, 1998 Mr. Kline is the applicant and developer of this 35-acre tract of land that is currently zoned R6T- Townhomes. Mr. Kline is seeking a zoning change to PD-Planned Development that will allow him to develop the property as a single-family residential project. Mr. Kline previously appeared before the Commission on July 9, 1998. At that time the Commission voted to table Mr. Kline’s request to give him time to re-work his development proposal in light of the concerns of the Commission (minutes attached). Mr. Kline has resubmitted his development proposal as indicated below: OLD PROPOSAL NEW PROPOSAL Height 38 feet same Height Restriction none SEE (1) BELOW Front Yard depth not less than 20 ft. same Side Yard interior lot 5 ft; corner lot 15 ft. same Rear Yard depth not less than 20 ft. same Lot Area Min. 5,000 sq ft. Min. 6,500 sq. ft. Lot Area Average None provided 7,500 sq. ft. Lot Width 50 ft at B.L. 60 ft. at B.L. Lot Depth 110 feet deep same Min. Dwelling Unit Size 1,200 sq. ft. 1,500 sq. ft. Dwelling Unit Average none provided 1,800 s.q. ft. Lot Coverage Not more than 50% same Parking 2 off street same Lot Access front entry garage same (1) All lots that have a common property line with Holiday East Addition that front on Carolyn Drive shall be 1 story. Additionally, the Parks Master Plan indicates a proposed extension of the Calloway Branch Trail adjacent to the drainage easement on the west side. The Parks Department would like to obtain a 30 foot easement for this trail. The developer has agreed to provide 10 feet. The Park Department would also like to see the configuration of the streets on the west side of the drainage channel re- worked so that the trail is not behind lots. They would like to see street frontage and cul-de-sacs opening on to the trail. This increases security, makes the trail easier to maintain, and makes it more appealing for use. The Planning Department is in support of the efforts and concerns of the Parks Department. Constructing a hike and bike trail that has edges defined by a drainage channel on one side and wood stockade fences or backyards on the other is not appealing and would be utilized very little. The specifics of these issues will be further discussed during the platting process. However, it is important at this point to raise the issue because this may affect Mr. Kline’s lot size and other zoning related criteria. Representatives from the Parks Department will be on hand to answer questions you may have at the meeting. At the time of cover sheet preparation negotiation was still continuing between the Parks Department and Mr. Kline. The Commission will be advised of the status at the Orientation Session. Mr. Kline, in response to the Planning and Zoning Commissions concerns, has agreed to provide a masonry-screening wall at the ends of Hummingbird, Skylark, and Redhawk Courts. The screening walls will be from Building Line to Building Line. The developer has also agreed to provide, via concrete median design, right turn in and out access to Holiday Lane. This is an effort to reduce the potential of major traffic problems and hazards at Holiday Lane. The developer has indicated that access on Holiday Lane is extremely important for marketing purposes. The developer has provided a new point of ingress and egress to Field Stone Drive. This will allow traffic to access Holiday Lane at the light at North Richland Boulevard and access Davis Boulevard at the North Richland Boulevard intersection. The developer has proposed Dove Way Street on the west side of the channel to access Holiday Lane. Dove Way Street is not aligned with Trinidad Drive. In regards to the traffic situation for the development, it is anticipated that at least 448 additional trips will be generated. There may be a need for a traffic study to determine the impact to traffic signalization at North Richland Boulevard, Holiday Lane and Davis Boulevard. The above referenced trips do not take into account the development of the multi-family site to the south. It is the opinion of the Planning Department that because of the potential impacts associated with this development a traffic study be performed. Staff has re-notified all property owners within 200’ of this case. Staff has had several calls relating to this case. The general consensus of the callers are that the residents do not want Townhomes on the property, they would like to see minimum dwelling unit sizes and lot areas used in conjunction with this case, not averages. This re-zoning request is in conformance with the currently adopted Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the City of North Richland Hills. The Comprehensive Plan indicates this region to be low density residential. Low density residential is single family detached development. R3- Residential, the most similar zoning classification to want Mr. Kline wants to develop is considered low density residential. R7MF- Multi-Family zoning is considered as high density. RECOMMENDATION: To approve the zoning change subject to park trail dedication as required by the Park Master Plan and the redesign of the property on the west side of the channel to allow open access for the Calloway Trail during the platting process and realignment of Dove Way with Trinidad Drive. __________________________ Public Action Schedule: Christopher D.

(Located at 4235 Road to the Mall) Mr. Mobley is the owner of this .8 acre parcel of property. Mr. Mobley’s property is currently zoned C2-Commercial. The attached zoning map provides further information to the surrounding properties. Mr. Mobley would like to convert an existing building at the rear of the property into an automotive lubrication center. Because there is residentially zoned property within 200 feet of the site, a Special Use Permit is required. Mr. Mobley will convert the existing structure at the rear of the property into the lube center. Mr. Mobley has indicated that he will be constructing a new pit. He will be using the existing sand trap on site to filter wastewater. A new oil storage tank will be constructed on site to hold both new and used motor oil. Mr. Mobley has adequate space on site for stacking purposes. There should be little negative traffic effect in the region. Mr. Mobley has not provided staff with information on operation hours. This rezoning request is in conformance with the currently adopted Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the City of North Richland Hills. All property owners within 200 feet have been notified. To date, staff has not received any comments. RECOMMENDATION: To approve the request as presented. ______________________________ PUBLIC ACTION SCHEDULE: Christopher D.

(Located at 8208 Grapevine Highway) Mr. Ewell is the applicant in rezoning case. The property is currently zoned C1-Commercial. A Special Use Permit is required for all auto lubrication centers in the C1- Commercial zoning district. There was previously a service station facility on this site. Most recently is has been utilized as a dent repair facility. Mr. Ewell would like to operate a state inspection service on site. This use is permitted by right in the C1-Commercial zone. Mr. Ewell would also like to operate a lubrication center inside the existing building. The applicant has indicated that there is an existing lift in the building and that he will be constructing an additional one. The applicant has indicated to staff that all auto work will be done inside the structure. Because this is a renovation of an existing building and site, Mr. Ewell has not provided any site plans. The changes to the site will be minimal, entailing the construction of the additional lift and new signage. Mr. Ewell has indicated that the facility will be open from 8 –6 Monday through Friday; Saturday 7:30 am to 7 pm and Sunday 12 to 4. This rezoning request is in conformance with the currently adopted Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the City of North Richland Hills. All property owners within 200 feet have been notified.
