According to historical geological notes, a soft, yellowish gray to black clay shale outcropped there. Geologists who studied its occurrence gave it the name "Barnett' shale because of its proximity to the Barnett family's homestead, where the shale is well exposed. Thanks to North Richland Hills resident Sid Johnston for researching the Barnett Shale and providing th is information.

Both vehicles were determined a total loss by the insurance companies of the other drivers. The insurance companies paid $15000 on each vehicle and $3,500 was refunded for the extended warranty on the Tahoe for a total of $33500. The 2003 Impala will be replaced with one of the new 2006 Impalas currently on order with a June delivery date. General Motors stopped producing 2006 Tahoes in October 2005 and orders for a 2007 police package Tahoe will not be taken until November 2006 with an April 2007 delivery. In working with the regional sales manager for Chevrolet a 2006 dark blue police package Ta hoe meeting the Citys specifications was located at Lynn Smith Chevrolet. No other dark blue Tahoe could be located within Texas. Lynn Smith has quoted $33,156 for the Tahoe which is comparable to what the City paid for the 2005 Tahoes. Lynn Smith Chevrolet has the current contract with the Texas Department of Public Safety for Police vehicles. The TXDPS specifications state all state agencies and qualified entities participating in the Texas Building Procurement Commission (TBPC) Cooperative Purchasing program may purchase from this contract. Council authorized participation in the TBPC interlocal cooperative purchasing program at the August 11, 2003 meeting. The Local Government Code states that purchases made through a cooperative purchasing agreement satisfy any State law that would require the City to so lic it co m petitive bids. Lynn Smith Chevrolet is the leading Chevrolet dealership in the Fort Worth/Dallas area for police vehicles. The City purchased 2005 Tahoes and 2006 Impalas from Lynn Smith Chevrolet and the conflict of interest questionnaire is on file.

At the May 12, 2003 meeting, Council awarded the contract for lockbox services to Frost bank for a term of three years with the option to extend for two additional one-year terms (PU 2003-027). Frost Bank's Retail Automated Lockbox service saves time and money by reducing mail processing and check clearing float. Customers mail their bills to a designated post office box, where a courier from Frost picks up the mail on a daily basis from the post office. The payments are opened and scanned with state of the art equipment and the funds deposited into our account. Frost transmits an electronic file for Utility Customer Service staff to download and post to the customer accounts. Lockbox services result in operational cost savings by minimizing staff hours spent on sorting, opening, and processing utility payments and preparing bank deposits. As the customer base has increased over the last several years, this service has allowed utility personnel levels to remain constant. During this past fiscal year, Frost Bank has processed over 118,623 lockbox payments at a cost of $32,537 or $.27 per payment. In addition, Frost Bank processed 13,600 bank draft payments at a cost of $1,754 or $.13 per payment. Frost Bank has over 15 years experience providing retail lockbox service and has provided excellent service the last three years and a conflict of interest questionnaire is on file.

Odell Addition to Lots 13R1, 13R2, 14R 1, 14R2, 15R1, 15R2, 16R1, 16R2, 17R1, and 17R2, Block 2, W.E. Odell Addition (Located in the 8000 Block of Odell). Case Summary: The owners of Lots 13, 14, 15, 16 & 17, Block 2, W.E. Odell Addition are requesting a residential replat to Lots 13R1&2, 14R1&2, 15R1&2, 16R1&2 and 17R1&2, Block 2, W.E. Odell Addition in the 8000 block of Odell. The purpose of the replat is to split each lot in half to provide frontage to both Mickey and Odell Streets. Current Zoning: The site is currently zoned uR-3" Single Family Residential. Thoroughfare Plan: These lots are located on Odell and Mickey Streets. Both of these streets are considered minor streets. Escrow is being collected on Odell for future sidewalk improvements. Dedication of 10 feet of right of way and escrow is being collected for future street and sidewalk improvements on Mickey Street. Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan designates this area for low density single family uses. This replat for R-3 development is consistent with low density residential uses as outlined in the Comprehensive Plan. Staff Review: The Development Review Committee has reviewed the plat and has determined that it complies with both the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances with the exception of lot widths for all 10 lots. Our current regulations require all R-3 lots platted after August 12, 2002 to be a minimum of 70 feet wide. The applicant is requestinq a waiver on all lots for a reduction in lot width to 60 feet. Also the applicant is requesting a waiver on the minimum square footaae on Lots facina Mickey Street includina Lots 13R2-17R2. Section 110-42 of the Subdivision Requlations allows the Planninq & Zoninq Commission to recommend variances from regulations where the variance will not have an adverse effect on the intent of the provisions or comprehensive land plan. Attached is a memo from the applicant's engineer requesting a variance on the lot widths. An attached exhibit is also included that shows existing structures and potential building pads of approximately 6,600 square feet. Staff is in support of this variance as long as no other regulations are altered. Odell was originally platted for 60 foot wide lots that ran 240 feet between Odell and Mickey and to require the minimum of 70 wide lots would be inconsistent for the area. Also please see an attached letter from the Public Works Department stating that this plat is ready for consideration by the Commission. e e e Plannina & Zonina Commission Recommendation: The Planning & Zoning Commission met on Thursday, April 20 and voted 7-0 to approve RP 2006-03 with a pproval for a wa iver for 60 foot wide lots.

Keller Smitt1fleld Rd Keller; TX 7G150 e e e Excerpt from the Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes April 20, 2006 R P 2006-03 PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM ABS SURVEYING ON BEHALF OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS TO APPROVE A RESIDENTIAL REPLAT OF LOTS 13, 14, 15, 16, AND 17, BLOCK 2, W.E. ODELL ADDITION TO LOTS 13R1, 13R2, 14R1, 14R2, 15R1, 15R2, 16R1, 16R2, 17R1, AND 17R2, BLOCK 2, W. E. ODELL ADDITION (LOCATED IN THE 8000 BLOCK OF ODELL). APPROVED John Pitstick summarized RP 2006-03. This is a request from individual property owners on Odell Street. The existing plat shows 60 ft wide lots that run between Odell Street and Mickey Street. They are requesting to subdivide, so that one lot will front on Mickey Street and the other will front on Odell Street. They are giving us 10 ft. of right- of-way for Mickey Street. This property is zoned R3 and they are requesting a variance for 60 ft. wide lots. Our current ordinance requires a 70 ft. wide lot for R3. There have been changes from some ZBA cases for approval in this area. We are seeing some redevelopment in this area and they are requesting a replat. They have also provided an exhibit to show that they can get the minimum 1,800 SF house on each lot. Chairman Davis opened the public hearing. Ken Brawley, ABS Surveying, came forward. Chairman Davis asked if there is split ownership on some of these lots. Mr. Brawley replied yes. Lots 13 and 14 are whole lots and the rest were split already. Chairman Davis stated that even though these lots should not have been split, it was done; ifs common practice with big lots. He asked for clarification that the Commission is looking at one plat for seven entities, with correct dimensions for each lot. Mr. Brawley answered yes. Chairman Davis asked for any questions for the applicants' representative. Chairman Davis asked if there were anyone wishing to speak in favor of the plat request? Tom Kilpatrick came forward. He stated that he owned property on Hewitt Street which was close to the property in question. He wanted it noted that he was in favor of the request. Chairman Davis asked if there was anyone else wishing to speak in favor of the request? e Jackie Bean came forward. She stated that she was a owner of lots 15B, 16B, and 17B and would like the permission to have the lots replatted so that they could build some nice homes and improve the neighborhood. Chairman Davis asked if there was anyone else wanting to speak in favor of the request or in opposition of the request. As there were no others wishing to speak, the Chairman closed the public hearing and asked for any comments or additional information that the commission might need. Chairman Davis called for a motion. Don Bowen, seconded by Scott Wood, motioned to approve RP 2006-03. Mr. Pitstick asked that the variance request be included as part of the motion. Chairman Davis clarified that the motion did include the plat as submitted which includes the variance. Mr. Bowen and Mr. Wood concurred. Chairman Davis asked for discussion. Mr. Sapp stated that it is important to understand why the variance is justified. This situation involves multiple owners and the way this has been handled up to this point is each individual property owner has had to go to the Zoning Board of Adjustment to get an individual variance and what this is doing is providing a convenience and a short cut to the process to get it done in a more expedient fashion. e Chairman Davis called for the vote. The motion carried unanimously (7-0). e e Public Works Sign Off Letter NRH CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HilLS M~MO TO~ ~~ :arcfy" Hliggln~, PI3n"~""g COOtj¡rî.:nor >~'t. (3;enn Sr0lth.

The existing zoning is "C-2" Commercial which requires Special Use Permit (SUP) approval for paint and body shops. The site is currently platted as Lot 8, Johns Addition. This lot is approximately 2.97 acres and currently includes a metal building on the rear of the site. e COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan depicts retail uses for this area. These uses include a variety of retail including personal and business service esta blishme nts, reta il strip cente rs a nd offices. The a pplica nt's pro posed use is automobile-related in nature. This level of use with paint and body work is usually associated with heavier commercial uses that are more intensive than those depicted by the Comprehensive Plan. However, there are heavier industrial uses with Bates Container directly across the street and a pallet manufacturer directly south of this site. ADJACENT ZONING/LAND USE: North: "1_2" / Industrial East: "1_2" / Industrial South: "C-2" / Heavy Commercial West: tCI_2" / Industrial EXISTING USE/SITE ATTRIBUTES: The site currently has a metal building on the rear of the lot. City staff has had ongoing issues for several months with a business operating illegally at this location. THOROUGHFARE PLAN: The site fronts Davis Boulevard, a P-6-D-proposed 6 lane, divided, principal arterial with 120 feet of right of way. DESIGN ELEMENTS: Building Design and Materials: · The proposed building is a single story brick and stone building approximately 11,690 square feet in size (meeting all architectural standards); · The building is oriented toward Davis Boulevard; · The roof is a flat design with a parapet wall over the entryway; · A total of 6 bay access doors are shown both on the side and rear of the building; e e e e · The front entryway exhibits architectural features including metal canopy over a glass front with brick pilasters and cast stone walls. The front elevation has building articulation and meets the city's architectural standards; · The applicant is also requesting to utilize an existing metal building to the rear of the site and reface the west elevation with building materials used for the main building; · Building materials consists primarily of cast stone, brick and split face CMU. All elevations indicate no EFIS; · A dumpster pad site is located on the north side of the building away from public view on Davis Boulevard. Materials used to enclose the pad site a re consistent with those used on the building. Access and Parking: · The site has direct access to Davis Boulevard; · A 4 feet sidewalk is shown along the entire front of the site; · A 24 feet Fire Lane encircles the entire building with access to the rear building; · A total of 31 parking spaces are provide (23 spaces required). Outside Storage of Automobiles: The applicant is providing for future outside storage of vehicles on the back of the lot in a screened in fence area. This is the only area allowed for overnight automobile or other equipment storage outside of the proposed buildings and is visually screened from all properties. This area was originally shown with an 8 foot masonry screening wall. The Planning & Zoning Commission has recommended that because of the distance behind the main building and the existing foliage in the area that this vehicle screening area be visually screened with the applicanfs choice of materials. The revised site plan indicates an 8 foot high wood fence with metal posts on the west elevation and all other sides have an 8 foot cyclone fence with screening slats. However, staff recommends for reasons of both long term maintenance and eventual visibility from Davis Boulevard (existing trees removed by future development) that the enclosure be constructed of masonry materials compatible with the site buildings. Landscaping and Screening: · A 15 feet landscape setback is provided along the Davis Boulevard frontage; · Within that setback, a total of 4 street trees are provided (meets ordinance requirements). Clusters of small shrubs are provided at the two ingress/egress points off of Davis Boulevard and at the front of the building; · A continuous shrub screening is provided along the street frontage for parking lot screening; · A total of 2 parking lot trees (crepe myrtles) have been provided; · Both the minimum required lot landscaping (15%) and parking lot landscaping (5%) have been exceeded; · The site also requires landscaping and a masonry wall along the rear of east side of the lot directly adjacent to uAG" agricultural property shown on the comprehensive plan for low density residential. The appropriate landscaping and 6 foot masonry screening wall are indicated on the site plan. · e e Signage and Lighting: · The site plan indicates a monument sign located at the northwest corner of the site; · The sign elevation indicates that the proposed sign is consistent with current regulations for materials, sign face and total square footage requirements; · Two wall signs are indicated, one above the main building entrance and above the secondary building entrance. Both signs are consistent with current sign regulations; · The applicant has indicated that 2 pole light standards will be used at this facility. The location of the light poles are in the front of the building on both sides of the parking lot. SUMMARY: The proposed use for automobile paint and body is consistent with surrounding uses and the building design and landscaping are clearly superior to most of the buildings and uses in the area. While the use of a paint and body shop is not totally consistent with basic retail uses as shown on the comprehensive plan, this new building will help improve the aesthetics of the area and will serve as a positive landmark along this busy stretch of Davis Boulevard. Plannina & Zonina Commission Recommendation: The Planning & Zoning Commission met on Thursday, April 20 and voted 7-0 to approve SUP 2006-01 with the stipulation "A screening wall for vehicle storage, 8 ft. tall, no vehicles visible from Davis Boulevard and this area shall not exceed 55 ft. by 120 ft. maximum". The owner has chosen to provide an 8 foot cedar fence with steel poles on the west elevation and chain link fence with slats on the north, east and south sides of the vehicle storage area. Staff Recom mendation: Approval of SUP 2006-01 and Ordinance No. 2879 with a stipulation for upgrading the outside vehicle storage area to an 8 ft. tall (no vehicles visible from Davis Boulevard and area not to exceed 55 ft. by 120 ft.) masonry enclosure with materials consistent with the building and site.

APPROVED John Pitstick summarized SUP 2006-01. This property is located in the 6200 block of Davis Boulevard. It is zoned C2 and the applicant is requesting approval for a paint body shop at this location. The Comprehensive Plan calls for retail uses for this area, however, industrial uses surround this property. The applicant has proposed to build an approximately 12,000 SF facility with nice architectural features, a fire lane around the facility, and landscaping in the front. There is an existing metal building on the rear portion of the property. The applicant pia ns to extend a fire la ne to this building and add a masonry façade in order to use this building for future expansion. Staff has studied the area, which is generally in the Smithfield corridor. This building will be a significant improvement in terms of architectural features for this area. e Chairman Davis opened the public hearing and asked the a pplicant to come forward. Chris Recker, the applicant, came forward. Chairman Davis stated that the site plan calls for a "future screening wall for storage of vehicles". He asked Mr. Recker if he is planning on building that screening wall now or someday in the future. Mr. Recker replied that he plans to build a small screened area in the rear of the property that will hold approximately 10 to 12 vehicles. He stated that in the future, if he had the need, he would build a larger area. Chairman Davis explained that only what is approved on the site plan can be built. He recommended that the applicant remove "future" from the site plan and build a screening wall for vehicle storage, 8 ft. tall, with no vehicles visible from Davis Boulevard. Mr. Recker asked if it would be a problem if he decided to go smaller on the screening wall. The Chairman replied that smaller would be ok, but he couldn't go larger than what was approved on the site plan. Mr. Bowen asked that the metal building be dimensioned so that the size is clearly stated. e Mr. Sapp asked the applicant to describe the nature of his business. Mr. Recker replied that he has owned a shop with his brother in Dallas since 1990. They specialize in antique and classic auto restoration. His work has been featured in at least 30 magazines including Mustang Monthly and Hot Rod Magazine. He specializes in restoring 1950's and 1960's classic cars such as Chevy Mustangs, Corvettes, Camaros, and 1955 T-Birds. He also sells and restores classic Coca-Cola machines and vintage gas pumps. He does collision work on new cars, but his ratio is about 700/0 classic and e 300/0 collision. He repairs Ferrari's for a well known Ferrari dealer in Dallas. He plans on reproducing a classic 1940's or 1950's gas station inside, with old Coca-Cola machines, gas pumps and an old Chevy Mustang. Chairman Davis commented that this is not going to be a typical paint and body shop. Mr. Recker replied no. He stated that previous clientel have included Lee Ann Rimes and about six Dallas Cowboy members. He stated that he plans to build a far better looking facility than anything found on Davis Boulevard. Chairman Davis stated that this was a public hearing and asked if anyone wanted to spea k in favor or opposition for this special use permit? As there were no others wishing to speak, the Chairman closed the public hearing and asked for a motion. Randy Shiflet, seconded by Ken Sapp, motioned to approve SUP 2006-01 with the stipulation that the word "future" be removed from the site plan regarding the 8- ft. masonry wall around vehicle storage and this area cannot exceed 55 ft. x 120 ft. Chairman Davis asked for any other discussion. Ms. Cole stated that since the building is set back far from Davis Boulevard, she could support a cedar fence. e Mr. Sapp concurred with Ms. Cole, as the property sits back approximately 200 ft. from Davis. He also stated that currently there is a lot of vegetation to the north, however, this area is part of the Smithfield Development District, and as a train station is developed and the vegetation goes away, some kind of screening to the north will be needed. He was not concerned with the interior part of the screening. He asked what type of wall was used by the other paint and body shop in the area. Mr. Recker stated that Sterling Paint and Body Shop has zero masonry. It is 1000/0 chain link fence. Chairman Davis asked if it was chain link with fabric infill. Mr. Recker replied that it was all chain link. He stated that he is not a multimillion dollar corporation. He is an individual with a dream to open a body shop here in North Richland Hills where he is a resident. He would like to keep it as cost effective as possible, so if he could do something with cedar he would prefer to, but he was willing to do what was required by the Commission. Chairman Davis asked if he could construct masonry posts with cedar infill, which would bring the cost down. Mr. Schopper suggested metal posts with cedar panel. Chairma n Davis commented that they need to remember that the property to the north is zoned 1-2 Industrial and a heavy type user could move in next to the railroad tracks. He stated that the applicant will have spent a lot of money for a masonry wall way off of Davis Boulevard. Mr. Sapp stated that there was a swamp in that area. Mr. Recker stated that there is 30-year-old vegetation surrounding the entire property on both sides. He stated that once constructed, the building will hide the vegetation. Mr. Schopper stated that he supported some sort of screening wall but that it didn't have to be masonry. e e Chairman Davis asked the commission member that made the motion if he would amend the motion from masonry to 8 ft. screening fence. Mr. Shiflet agreed. Mr. Sapp asked if "screening wall" means "you can't see through it". Chairman Davis replied that was correct. Mr. Schopper recommended a chain link fence with fabric infill. Chairman Davis commented that chain link with panels could be done, but he would rather have the applicant commit to the cedar fence with metal posts. Mr. Recker stated he would rather do the chain link with the panels, but was willing to compromise with cedar if necessary. Mr. Sapp and Ms. Cole both agreed that chain link would be fine because the property is set so far back that there is no need for the applicant to spend that kind of money. Mr. Schopper commented that the fence is for security more than screening. M r. Shiflet restated his motio n: Mr. Shiflet, seconded by Mr. Sapp, motioned to approve SUP 2006-01 with the stipulation that the word "future" be removed from the site plan so that it reads: "A screening wall for vehicle storage, 8 ft. tall, no vehicles visible from Davis Boulevard and this area shall not exceed 55 ft. by 120 ft. maximum".

CITY OF NORTH RJCHLAND HILLS By: Oscar Trevino, Mayor A ITEST: Patricia Hutson, City Secretary Appro\led as to fonn and legality: e George A. Staples, Attorney e CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS e Department Planning and Inspections Presented by: John Pitstick Council Meeting Date: 5-8-2006 Agenda No. C.4 Subject: ZC 2006-04 Public Hearing and Consideration of a request from Royal Building Corporation and Comis Development Corporation for a Zoning Change from IIAGII Agricultural to IIR-21I Residential (Located in the 6800 block of Simmons Road - 2.1759 acres) Ordinance No. 2880 Case Summary: The applicants, Royal Building Corporation and Comis Development Corporation, are requesting to rezone a 2.1759 acre tract from "AGn Agricultural to "R-2n Residential for the purpose of developing a multi-lot subdivision. The "R-2" District requires a minimum 9,000 square foot lot and a minimum 2,000 square foot house. Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan depicts low density residential development for this area. The proposed zoning is consistent with the Plan. Thoroughfare Plan: This tract has access on Simmons Road and Amundson Drive. Simmons Road is considered a local street with 50 feet Right of Way (ROW). At the present time this street is in poor condition. Amundson is a future 4-lane, undivided, collector street with 68 feet ROW. e Surrounding Zoning I Land Use: North: "R-3 (North of Amundson) I Traditional single family subdivision East: "AG, "R-1-S", & "R-2" I Large lot and traditional single family development South: "AGn, "R-2 I Vacant, large lot single family West: "R-2 (across drainage channel) I Vacant Plat Status: The Planning & Zoning Commission has approved a preliminary plat that includes 7 residential lots. Existing Site Conditions: A single family structure and out-buildings are located in the middle of the tract. This structure is proposed to be removed with the platting of this tra ct. SUMMARY: This request is similar to the recent rezoning requests on nearby Clift Street. This tract has large lot and traditional lot residential development either adjacent or in the vicinity of the subject property. This request previously included an adjacent lot on Stewart Drive and was denied by City Council. At the present time, staff has received some negative inquiries from nearby property owners on this request. However, this request does follow the Comprehensive Plan for low density residential development. e PlanninQ & Zonin~ Commission Recommendation: The Planning & Zoning Commission met on Thursday, April 20 and voted 7-0 to approve ZC 2006-04. . . . Staff Recommendation: Approval of ZC 2006-04 and Ordinance No. 2880 Review Schedule: Application: 1/10/06 Final Hearing: 5/08/06 Total Review Time: 17 weeks e f=)1ª..~_~J.~g_ - Loe at!~~_._~_ª~ e .~ ~~.Y),~!J...rL i .!

APPROVED John Pitstick summarized ZC 2006-04. This was a previous request that came before the Planning and Zoning Commission and went to City Council for a portion of R 1 and R2 that was denied by the council. Now the applicant has come back for a zoning request of R2 Residential. In our Comprehensive Land Use Plan, R1, R2 and R3 are considered low density residential. This request meets our Comprehensive Land Use Plan and for that reason, staff is recommending approval. Chairman Davis asked if there were any questions. Being none, Chairman Davis opened the public hearing and asked the applicant to come forward. e Mark Comis, Reeves Royal Homes, came forward. Mr. Comis pointed to an exhibit that specified the surrounding zoning of his property. He stated to the south of the property is zoned R2, to the north over the railroad tracks is primarily R3, and to the west is zoned RI-PD. He stated that the property is surrounded by low density residential. The lots are oversized for R2 zoning. The average lot square footage is 10,996 SF, which is almost 2,000 SF larger than R2 minimums. He stated they anticipate building homes in the $300,000 range on the proposed property. Chairman Davis called for any questions for the applicant. Being none, Chairman Davis asked if there was anyone wishing to speak in favor of this request. As none came forward, Chairman Davis asked if there was anyone wishing to speak in opposition of this request. Erika and Richard Muzquiz came forward. Mrs. Muzquiz stated that the traffic was very crowded and it would be harder to get to their home because they live on a dead end street. Her biggest concern is taxes and the value of her property going down because of the $300,000 houses. She stated that building eight houses is too many for that piece of property. She is also concerned with sewer service. She presently has a septic tank and asked if the developer would be on septic or sewer. Chairman Davis responded that sewer lines would be in place; that was part of the platting process that they would discussed further on the next item. e e ·e e Mr. Muzquiz commented that when he bought his house the selling point was the country-like atmosphere. As time has gone onJ developers have come inJ turning country into city. He asked how wide the lots were going to be? Chairman Davis stated they were approximately 74 or 75-ft. wide. Mr. Muzquiz was concerned with the houses being too close together. Chairman Davis asked if there were any questions or additional comments. He asked if there was anyone else wishing to speak in opposition of this rezoning request? Ralph SchwabJ came forward. He stated for the record that he was opposed to the request same as Mr. and Mrs. Muzquiz. He stated by building these homes the country-like atmosphere would be lost. He went on to say that as a construction worker he felt the applicant needed to cut down on the number of proposed lots. He would rather have them build bigger houses then too many on that small piece of property. He a Iso commented that the traffic was really crowded at this time and adding more homes would definitely cause more backups. Chairman Davis asked if there was anyone else wishing to speak in opposition of this zoning request. Being noneJ Chairman Davis allowed the applicant a one minute re butta I. Mr. ComisJ came forward. He stated that there were plans on improving the streetJ not just for enhancing the developmentJ but also so that drainage could be captured and sent back to the drainage channel behind the development. He stated that the RI-PD behind them was more dense then what they were proposing. He also wanted to clarify that the houses being built were an average of $300JOOO; some would be less and some more. Mr. Shiflet asked if the street improvements were for half of the street. Mr. Comis stated that was correct. Chairman Davis closed the public hearing and asked for a motion. Randy Shiflet, seconded by Don Bowen, motioned to approve ZC 2006-04. The motion carried unanimously (7-0). e I I ì" ~I .! $ 7ì I .. .. :1 . ;. ..V"". ,. - ...... ~ ..'. e e iii ~I, \. .~ IIJ~ t - I } , I: ", 'j' \ ~ \ :- Zoning Exhibit , ¡ . .. ,)If ' r-'I .. .. t·.".·.,...· ,~, .,....' ~'t...\l.

CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS DepartmentCity Manager1s Office Presented by: Ka ren Bostic Council Meeting Date:5-8-2006 Agenda No.F.1 Subject GN 2006-031 Suspension of 2005 Interim Rate Adjustment Proposed by Atmos Energy Corporation - Resolution No. 2006-032 Recently Atmos Energy Corporation, Mid-Tex Division served the City of North Richland H ills with a filing notifying the City of its intent to increase its distribution rates to a II customers effective May 30, 2006. As you may recall, this type of increase is referred to as a GRIP filing which references the Annual Gas Reliability Infrastructure Program Rate Adjustment legislation that was passed in 2003 and is now codified in Texas Utilities Code Section 104.301. A GRIP filing allows interim utility rate adjustments to recover additional invested capital without filing a full rate case. These rates remain in place until a full rate study is conducted. This GRIP filing is for calendar year 2005 and would add a monthly surcharge of $0.51 on all residential customers, $1.75 for commercial customers and $78.47 for industrial customers. This is the third GRIP filing by Atmos in the last 1 ~ years. The Railroad Commission will make a final ruling on whether the City gets reimbursed or not. The City has three options regarding this request. We can accept Atmos' proposed rate increase, deny it or suspend. Suspension will provide 45 days beyond May 30 to review the proposed increase, analyze all necessary information, and take appropriate action related to the proposed increase. In addition to suspension, Staff requests to participate with other cities in the Gas Standing Steering Committee to hire and direct legal counsel and consultants to negotiate with Atmos, to make recommendations to the City regarding the proposed GRI P Rate I ncrease, a nd to direct any administrative proceedings or litigation associated with the proposed GRIP Rate Increase. Approval of the attached resolution would suspend implementation of the proposed GRIP rate increase within the City, authorize participation with the Gas Standing Steering Committee in a review and inquiry into the proposed GRIP rate increase. authorize intervention in any Railroad Commission or court proceedings related to the proposed GRIP rate increases, require Atmos Energy Corporation to reimburse the City reasonable costs associated with the City's review of the GRIP rate increase filings or participation in any subsequent proceeding and require delivery of this resolution to Atmos and legal counsel.

CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS DepartmentCity Manager's Office Presented by: Ka ren Bostic Council Meeting Date:5-8-2006 Agenda NO.F.2 Subject GN 2006-032 Consider the City's Participation in the Gas Standing Steering Committee for Cities Served by Atmos Energy - Resolution No. 2006-033 The City of North Richland Hills has been asked to participate with other Atmos cities in current and upcoming gas utility regulatory and rate making cases before the Railroad Commission of Texas or other court. Several issues currently being addressed include the annual gas reliability infrastructure program - GRIP 1 (2003), GRIP 2 (2004), GRIP 3 (2005), Gas Cost Review (GUD 9530), Atmos Mid-Tex Rate Case, and the cities challenge of the GRIP Rule. More filings are anticipated. The original Gas Cities Steering Committee was formed several years ago in response to a gas gate rate filing by Lone Star Gas Company (TXU Gas and Atoms Energy's predecessor). Over the past six years, the gas distribution systems have been consolidated and the gas company has filed rate cases annually. With the passage of the GRIP statute, this pattern is likely to continue. The current Steering Committee has recommended the establishment of a more formal organizational structure that will enable cities to respond more quickly to these frequent gas rate filings. The Gas Standing Steering Committee organization will work similar to the electric Standing Steering Committee. The Steering Committee will have authority to act for members with each member retaining the ability to opt out of any proposed rate case action. The participation agreement is attached. A membership fee of 5 cents per capita will be assessed to cover the costs of lawyers and consultants in representing the Atmos cities in current and upcoming gas utility regulatory and rate making cases to preserve the cities' regulatory authority and reduce gas costs. It is estimated that North Richland H ills will pay $3,083. Approving the resolution allows the City of North Richland Hills to participate in the Gas Standing Steering Committee of Cities Served by Atmos Energy, approves paying the membership fee estimated to be $3,083 and appoints Karen Bostic as the City's representative on said committee.
