Adjournment CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION COVER SHEET MAY 28, 1998 PS 98-16 Request of David Branach for a Final Plat of Lot 9, Block 15, Glenann Addition. (Located in the 9200 Block of Martin Drive) Mr. David Branach is the applicant and owner of the property located at 9200 Martin Drive. Mr. Branach would like to construct a single family home on this property. Mr. Branach previously came before the Planning & Zoning Commission on February 26, 1998 and received approval of the preliminary plat. One of the requirements of the preliminary platting process was that Mr. Branach rezone his property from the current AG Agricultural to R-1-S Residential. Mr. Branach has filed a rezoning request that will be heard by the Commission at a later date. The issues associated with this final plat are as follows: 1. Drainage Analysis: The existing storm drain system west of Chilton Drive to the channel will require future city storm drain improvements. The Public Works Department feels that Mr. Branach’s development should continue to drain to the Chilton Drive storm drain. However, there is currently no time table for improvements to the storm drain in Chilton Drive to the channel. Mr. Branach has agreed to provide the necessary drainage easements. 2. Fire Hydrant: The location of fire hydrants does not adequately cover the entire lot as proposed. However, the proposed location for the residence and the existing barn are covered by the 500’ radial distance from the fire hydrant. The applicant is therefore requesting a waiver from providing fire protection for remaining portions of property. 3. Street Lighting: The applicant has been advised that streetlights are a requirement. Costs of which are to be paid directly to TU Electric and coordinated with the city. All other engineering comments have been met. This plat is in conformance with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the City of NRH. _____________________ Christopher D.

(Located in the 6900 Block of Crane Road) Mr. Stembridg is the surveyor representing Bill Fenimore, owner, in this preliminary plat of Blocks 5,6,7 & 8, Woodland Oaks Addition containing approximately 11.4 acres and 37 lots. The property is currently zoned R-2 Residential. The property to the north of this location is zoned R-3 Residential, to the south is R-1 Residential and AG Agricultural, to the east is AG Agricultural and west is AG Agricultural. The issues associated with this plat are as follows: 1. Sidewalks: The applicant has been advised that sidewalks are required adjacent to all public streets. 2. Street Lighting: The applicant has been advised that streetlights are required in this development and that the cost of installation will be paid directly to TU Electric and coordinated with the City. 3. Lot Size & Area: Lots 5, 6 & 7 of Block 6 and Lot 12, Block 5, do not meet lot width requirement of 72.5’. Lots 1,2,3 & 4, Block 8 does not meet the minimum depth requirement of 110’. Lot 6, Block 8 does not meet the minimum square footage requirement of 9,000 square feet. The applicant is requesting a waiver to allow the creation of lots that do not meet the width, depth and square footage requirements of the City as outlined above. 4. Utility Easements: The Subdivision Regulations require 7 ½ ‘ of easement dedication on both sides of water and sewer mains. The developer has agrees to work with the City on these easements. 5. Visibility Easements: All intersections require visibility sidewalk and utility easements as defined in the Public Works Design Manual. The developer has agreed to provide these easements. 6. Right-of-Way Dedication: Amundson Drive is designated as a C-4-U on the Master Thoroughfare Plan. This designation requires a 68’ ultimate right-of-way.

The developer has agreed to provide the necessary documentation. 7. Street Improvements: The proposed Plat fronts on Crane Road and Amundson Drive. Curb and gutter will need to be constructed to City standards along the eastern half of Crane Road adjacent to this property.

Baker Planner PUBLIC ACTION SCHEDULE P & Z Commission: 5/28/98 City Council: N/A CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION COVER SHEET May 28, 1997 PZ 98-06 Request of Richard Shaw of Colonial Equities, Inc. for Site Plan Approval of a Multi- family Development on Tract 2F2, Ackers Survey, Abstract 19 (Located South of Browning Drive, East of Iron Horse Golf Course, North of NE Loop 820 and West of the DART Railroad Right-of-Way) Colonial Equities, Inc. has submitted a site plan to develop a 492 unit multi-family development on the south side of Browning Drive and immediately adjacent to Iron Horse Golf Course. Zoning for this parcel was established as a Planned Development by city ordinance on January 27, 1998. According to the terms of the planned development, the list of permitted uses allowed any use in the I-2 Medium Industrial District and allowed multi-family uses of the R-7-MF District, provided a site plan was submitted by January 31, 1998 and a building permit was issued by July 31, 1998. The applicant submitted a site plan within the prescribed time, but at the February 26, 1998 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, action on the site plan was tabled to allow the applicant time to rework the site plan and resubmit with the additional information. The site plan indicates the project will be built in two phases, which complicates enforcement of certain regulations, unless the issues can be outlined at the time of site plan approval. The issues associated with the site plan are as follows: 1. Masonry Screening Wall: A 6’ masonry-screening wall is required along Browning Drive and along the DART railroad right-of-way. The applicant has shown these on the site plan, but has not indicated whether these items will be constructed initially or as each phase is developed. 2. Wrought Iron Fence Along Iron Horse Golf Course: Zoning regulations require a 6’ combination masonry and wrought iron fence where this development abuts Iron Horse Golf Course. However, according to regulations, the wrought iron portion is not to exceed 40% of the total length of the fence. The developer is proposing a 100% decorative metal fence. 3. Parking: The development requires a minimum of 1161 parking spaces to meet the minimum requirements in NRH for a multi-family development. The developer is proposing 1075 spaces which is 86 spaces below the minimum requirements. The number of parking spaces is determined according to the number of bedrooms in the facility. For example, a one-bedroom apartment requires 2 parking spaces and a two-bedroom apartment requires 2.5 parking spaces. The difference between the developer calculation and the NRH staff calculation is associated with the 148 units, which have one bedroom and a study. If these units are calculated as having two usable bedrooms, then the developer is deficient by 86 parking spaces. Below is a table showing the bedroom and parking calculations. Unit Type Parking Ratio Units Phase I Rqd. Parking Units Phase II Rqd. Parking Units Total Total Parking 1 Bedroom 2 82 164 56 112 138 276 2 Bedroom 2.5 190 475 122 305 312 780 3 Bedroom 2.5 22 55 20 50 42 105 Total 294 694 198 467 492 1161 4. Covered Parking: Regulations require one covered parking space per unit. The applicant proposes 176 garage spaces, 79 detached garages, and 237 carport spaces, for a total of 492 covered spaces. This complies with the requirement. Based on the information provided, the covered parking spaces are within the required 200-foot distance. 5. Masonry Exterior Surface – Zoning regulations require multi-family structures to have exterior surfaces with 65% masonry material for all elevations and all floors. According to the information provided on their elevation drawings, a large share of the exterior surface is composed of “cement fiber siding”, stucco, synthetic stone and brick details. In the past, there has been some questions raised about the use of cement type siding materials. 6. Gated Entry – The development has a controlled access gated entry as required. 7. Landscaped Area – Regulations require 15% of the lot be landscaped. The site contains 31.5 acres. According to the information provided, the landscaped area is equivalent to 11.41 acres (36.2 %). 8. Recreation Area – Regulations require 10% of the lot be a recreation area. Recreation areas are shown on two locations and exceed the 10% requirement. The site plan appears to meet all the criteria specified in the multi-family regulations and the terms of the planned development ordinance and is now ready for consideration. __________________________ Barry LeBaron, AICP; Director of Planning and Inspections PUBLIC ACTION SCHEDULE: Planning & Zoning Commission: 5/28/98 City Council: 6/22/98 CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION COVER SHEET MAY 28, 1998 PZ 98-18 Public Hearing to Consider the Request of John Barfield for Rezoning on several tracts of land: Tract 1, .5 acres in the T.
