Mr. Larry Bell, from T.C.J.C. was present and suggested several activities that T.C.J.C. is pursing, including seminars, art, music and drama presentations, and library displays. Mr. Bell also suggested that the committee may want to consider open town meetings to discuss various constitutional issues. The Council agreed to meet in a workshop on January 19th, at 7:00 p.m. with representatives from B.H. & L. Joint Venture to discuss Wilson Lane. The City Secretary was requested to contact the developers to insure that the developers invite the affected citizens in the area. RNL explained to the City Council that the reason the retention pond subject was on the Agenda was that he thought that it might be possible for the Planning & Zoning Commission to act on the amendment to the Subdivision Ordinance at their meeting on January 8, 1987. This ordinance was not ready; therefore, the Planning & Zoning Commission did not act. At this time the staff is not proposing any action on the ordinance, since it was not distributed until Monday night.

Mr. Billy Graham appeared before the Council and stated that he would give up the right-of-way and participate in the drainage channel if everyone in the drainage area would contribute their share of the cost. He stated that he was opposed to the retention pond proposal on the Hightower plat. There was a 'consensus that Ellis & Ellis, Mr. Graham and all other affected property owners should meet with the staff and any Council Members who so desire to try to work out a plan for drainage facilities meeting the current ordinance requirements. The Council approved the designs of the new signs for the Municipal Offices with the exception that the sign in front of City Hall should include the Council Chambers. Some problems are still present with the revision to the Sign Ordinance. The staff was directed to continue to work on it as a priority project. Councilman Ramsey mentioned specifically the problem associated with gas stations, related to the number of signs allowed; signs on buildings and signs on movable vehicles. The staff was directed to change the ordinance to allow Page Three 1/12/87 ASSIGNMENT Dennis Horvath TAA Richard Royston TAA 'EM PROPOSED CHARTER AMENDMENTS PROPOSED CHANGE ORDER FOR POLICE DEPART- MENT ADDITION STREET ASSESSMENT POLICY DISCUSS ION those signs in which variances are usually granted. RNL will work with Richard Royston on the correct wording on directional real estate signs. Mayor Pro Tem Davis asked the staff to have the old Church of Christ message sign be removed as soon as possible. George Tucker, secretary of the Charter Commission, appeared before the Council and presented the proposed Charter Amendments. The Council will review the proposal, conduct a Public Hearing on the 26th of January and at that time call for an election to be held in August. Councilman Ramsey suggested that the Change Order to the contractor not include those items that we could possibly subcontract ourselves. The staff agreed that this was an excellent idea and could be resolved and some cost savings could be realized by reducing A & E fee override and general contractor's profits. RNL explained the reason for distributing the Arlington Assessment Policy. Council noted that since the Arlington fees were significantly higher than North Richland Hills, that a comparison chart be prepared with a 90' residential and commercial lot as the comparison.

Mayor Echols stated there would be a public hearing on the proposed Charter changes on January 26, 1987.

PS 86-42 REQUEST OF ELLIS-ELLIS ASSOCIATES FOR FINAL PLAT OF LOT 1, BLOCK 2, HIGHTOWER PLAZA ADDITION (LOCATED ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF RUFE SNOW AND HIGHTOWER) APPROVED Mayor Pro Tern Davis moved, seconded by Councilman Ramsey, to approve PS 86-42 subject to the applicant complying with the existing Subdivision/Drainage Ordinance. Mr. Billy Graham, 7000 Hightower, appeared before the Council. January 12, 1987 Page 3 Mr. Graham stated he lived on the property adjacent to the property in question. Mr. Graham stated the water problem had become very intense since houses had been built in the area, and he felt that the development to the west would make the water problem more intense. Mayor Echols stated that the City Master Drainage Plan spoke very eloquently to drainage problems and dealt with the way they would be handled, primarily through channelization. Mr. Graham stated he was willing to meet with the developers or the City to help solve the problem. Councilman Ramsey called for the question. Mr. Mark Hannon, Engineer, representing Ellis and Ellis, appeared before the Council. Mr. Hannon stated the applicant would like for the Council to consider this project based on the engineering design which included detention on the property. Mr. Hannon stated they would make the request that the Council approve the plat on the basis of using detention on site as the engineering plans were submitted and as the preliminary plat was approved. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated that could not be done because the City did not have a Detention Pond Ordinance. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission had attempted but did not finish a Detention Pond Ordinance; therefore a plat could not be approved that allowed a detention pond. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated the only option the City had was to approve the plat subject to the existing ordinance or deny it. Mr. Hannon stated he would have to ask his client if he wanted the plat denied. Mr. Hannon stated they did not want the plat approved subject to satisfying Mr. Graham. Councilman Ramsey called point of order and called for the question. Mr. Hannon stated his client had advised him he did not want to relinquish the preliminary plat approval which was on the basis of detention. Councilwoman Moody stated the detention had nothing to do with the motion. Mr. Hannon stated that at the Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting a gentleman spoke on the proposed revision of the Drainage Ordinance. Mr. Hannon stated the gentleman advised him of another case in the City in which a detention pond was allowed, in fact required by the City. Mr. Hannon stated the City condemned the property to construct it for Londonderry Addition. Councilman Ramsey called for point of order. Mayor Echols called for the vote. January 12, 1987 Page 4 Mayor Pro Tem Davis moved, seconded by Councilman Garvin, to override the call for the question. Motion carried 4-2; Mayor Pro Tern Davis, Councilwomen Hinkle and Moody, Councilman Garvin voting for; Councilmen Ramsey and Newman voting against. Mayor Pro Tern Davis stated he wanted to make sure the applicant understood a couple of things. Mayor Pro Tern Davis stated it had been mentioned that a preliminary plat was approved and the applicant went on with final engineering. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated the preliminary plat did not even go before Council, only the Planning & Zoning Commission. Mayor Pro Tern Davis stated the Planning and Zoning Commission went under the assumption there would be a Detention Pond Ordinance, and the ordinance did not get done. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated the only reason the Council was voting on this request was to either try and meet the applicant's deadline to close the property or a financial commitment. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated it could not be done both ways, the applicant could withdraw or the Council could act on it. Mr. Hannon stated the applicant did not want to withdraw and felt that the Council had to act on it in the fashion they believed correct. Mr. Hannon stated he was only trying to tell the Council that his client had come in with a preliminary plat over a year ago and received approval on the basis of having detention. After further discussion, motion to approve subject to existing Subdivision/Drainage Ordinance carried 5-1; Mayor Pro Tern Davis, Councilwoman Hinkle, Councilmen Newman, Garvin and Ramsey voting for; Councilwoman Moody voting against. 7. PZ 86-53 PLANNING & ZONING - PUBLIC HEARING - REQUEST OF KENNETH C. WHITELEY, TRUSTEE, TO REZONE PART OF TRACTS 1B & 2A, D. MOSES SURVEY, ABSTRACT 1150, FROM AG (AGRICULTURE) TO R-2 (SINGLE FAMILY) (LOCATED EAST OF FLAMINGO ESTATES NORTH OF THE RAILROAD) Mayor Echols opened the Public Hearing and called for anyone wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. Mr. Doug Long, Engineer, representing the applicant, appeared before the Council . Mr. Long stated they were asking for this tract to be rezoned to R-2. Mr. Long stated the Planning and Zoning Commission approved the zoning subject to stipulations which they were willing to abide by. Councilwoman Moody stated that in the Planning and Zoning Minutes there was some concern on the construction of a through street to relieve traffic. January 12, 1987 Page 5 Mr. Long stated they had scheduled the street to go out to Precinct Line Road but they had been unable to acquire the property for it. Mr. Long stated they had bought part of the property and they were still negotiating for the property needed to construct the street. Councilman Garvin asked if the fifty foot easement shown was a channel through the property or just an easement for a channel. Mr. Long stated there would be a concrete lined channel where the easement was shown. Councilwoman Hinkle asked the minimum square footage of the houses. Mr. Long replied 1,800 square feet. Mayor Echols asked if the proceeding case would provide a means of access back to Eden Road without going back to the one entry that this property had. Mr. Long stated there was more than one entry to the area; one was through Flamingo Estates and one through Eden Addition. Councilman Ramsey asked what the plans were to take the street back to Precinct Line Road. Mr. Long stated they did not have any plans until they could acquire the property and work out an agreement with the landowners. Councilman Ramsey stated that when Council heard the original Eden in 1982, the minutes of that meeting stated they intended to open a thoroughfare to Precinct Line Road. Mr. Long stated they did not own the property. Councilman Ramsey asked Mr. Long if he was abiding by the statement that the Council voted on in good faith. Mr. Long stated they did not receive any zoning in 1982, it was denied. Councilman Garvin stated that in the Planning and Zoning Minutes there was a statement that the applicant had made every effort to acquire the property to put a street through to Precinct Line Road and asked if that was correct. Mr. Long stated they had been in negotiations and made an offer, but it was not accepted. Mr. Long stated they had not given up negotiations. Mayor Pro Tern Davis stated this was a zoning matter to determine the highest and best use of the land. Mayor Echols called for anyone wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward. Mr. Christopher Childs, 7109 Hazel Place, appeared before the Council. January 12, 1987 Page 6 Mr. Childs stated that if the road could not be constructed through to Precinct Line, the traffic through Eden Estates and Flamingo Estates was going to be unsafe. Mr. Childs stated both Eden Road and Precinct Line Road were in terrible condition. Mayor Echols advised that the City was hoping the State would take care of a six-lane divided thoroughfare on Precinct Line Road. Mr. Larry South, 7304 Boca Raton, appeared before the Council. Mr. South stated that he was against this zoning request because access to Precinct Line Road was not sufficient, and it would be detrimental to their equity in their homes. Mr. Manuel Pasillas, 7400 Boca Raton, appeared before the Council. Mr. Pasillas urged the Council to vote against this request because of the traffic situation. There being no one else wishing to speak Mayor Echols closed the Public Hearing. 8. ORDINANCE NO. 1422 APPROVED Mayor Pro Tem Davis moved, seconded by Councilman Garvin, to approve Ordinance No. 1422 with the stipulation of 1,800 square foot minimum houses. Councilman Garvin stated he shared the homeowners concern on traffic but this rezoning did not put houses in now; it only gave the developer the right to do some planning as to what he was going to develop. Motion carried 5-1; Mayor Pro Tem Davis, Councilwomen Hinkle and Moody, and Councilmen Newman and Garvin voting for; Councilman Ramsey voting against. 9.

MOSES SURVEY, ABSTRACT 1150, FROM AG (AGRICULTURE) TO R-3 (SINGLE FAMILY) (LOCATED EAST OF EDEN ADDITION NORTH OF THE RAILROAD) Mayor Echols opened the Public Hearing and called for anyone wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. Mr. Doug Long, representing the applicant, appeared before the Council. Mr. Long presented a map of the project to the Council. Mr. Long stated they were asking for R-3 zoning with 1,600 square foot minimum houses. January 12, 1987 Page 7 Mayor Echols called for anyone wishing to speak in opposition to please come forward. Mr. Larry South, 7304 Boca Raton, appeared before the Council. Mr. South stated that he could not see the benefit of R-3 reduced square footage in the middle of something that was good. Mr. South stated why put something of a lesser degree in the area. Councilman Garvin stated he would not be in favor of the R-3 zoning if it were not for the 50 foot concrete lined channel that would subdivide the area. Councilman Garvin stated he had rather see single family residences in the area instead of the developer coming back with duplex houses in the area. Councilwoman Moody stated the houses on Boca Raton were R-2-1,500 square feet and the developer proposed R-3-1,600. Mr. South stated the R-2 rating for North Richland Hills was probably 1,500 square feet, but there was not a house in Flamingo Estates less than 1,800 square feet. Councilwoman Moody stated the map indicated R-2-1,500 square feet. Mr. South stated the subdivision was over built. Mr. Manuel Pasillas, 7400 Boca Raton, appeared before the Council. Mr. Pasillas asked the Council to delay this request until traffic flow was resolved. Mr. Christopher Childs, 7109 Hazel Place, appeared before the Council. Mr. Childs stated his house was only 1,650 square feet, but he would not like to see duplexes built there. Mr. Childs stated it would be better if larger houses were built. Mayor Pro Tern Davis advised that 1,600 square foot was a minimum square footage, but most developers exceeded the minimum. There being no one else wishing to speak Mayor Echols closed the Public Hearing. 10. ORDINANCE NO. 1423 APPROVED Councilman Garvin moved, seconded by Councilwoman Hinkle, to approve Ordinance No. 1423 with the stipulation of 1,600 square foot minimum houses.

Mr. Long presented an overall map of the proposed zoning to the Council. Mayor Echols asked if the development on Shady Grove was across the road from Arrow Acres. Mr. Long stated that Arrow Acres was farther north. Mr. Long advised that on the 0-1 request there was a structure on the property they hoped to remodel into an office and if it could not be remodeled they would rebuild. Councilman Ramsey asked Mr. Long if he saw any difficulty with the R-2 zoning next to the C-2 zoning. Mr. Long stated no.

Mr. Dick Blackard, agent of Ike Harris, appeared before the Council. Mr. Blackard asked the Council to grant the variance or a temporary sign. Councilman Ramsey withdrew his second.
