Councilman Ramsey voiced extremely strong opposition, not so much to the sale of Blackhawk, but to the way this proposed sale was presented to the public and to the City government. Councilman Ramsey told the Council that the creditability of CBS was weakened and suggested that the Council explore other avenues. Councilman Ramsey told Mr. Ross to send the message back to CBS in New York that we intend to follow the sale very closely and they must ITEM GN 85-56 FRANCHISE WITH GSX CORPORATION FOR REFUSE SERVICE PZ 85-40 REVISED THOROUGHFARE PLAN OTHER ITEMS DISCUSSION remember that they may sell the Blackhawk System to whom ever they choose but only the City Council has the right to award a cable TV franchise. We intend to monitor this sale and the award of the franchise very closely. The Council agreed to let Councilman Ramsey stay on top of this and keep them posted. RNL explained the new refuse collection contract and the new provisions contained in this contract. The Mayor expressed his gratitude to Gene Riddle for a job well done in negotiating this contract. The citizens of North Richland Hills will certainly benefit. RNL echoed these sentiments and explained that the contract was negotiated with a lot of give and take on both sides and we are very pleased with the result. The Thoroughfare Plan was discussed and Mayor Pro Tem Davis proposed to the Council that he was going to make a motion to amend the Thoroughfare Plan to keep the following streets as C2U (or retain current street width) in sections where they are currently developed: Vance, Holiday Lane, Starnes, Susan Lee. Some discussion followed concerning the stipulations and recommendations on the final plat submitted by HCA. 6/10 Pre-Council Page 2 ASSIGNMENT Gene Richard Royston MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS, HELD IN THE CITY HALL - 7301 NORTHEAST LOOP 820 - JUNE la, 1985 - 7:30 P.M. 1.

CALL TO ORDER ROLL CALL INVOCATION CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING MAY 13, 1985 APPROVED REMOVAL OF ITEM (S) FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA CONSENT AGENDA ITEM (S) INDICATED BY ASTERISK (36, 37, 38, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 47, 48, 49, 50 & 51) APPROVED Mayor Echols advised that Councilman Ramsey requested that Item #33 be removed to 6A because he would have to leave the meeting early due to a prior engagement. 6A. Mayor Pro Tem Davis moved, seconded by Councilman Ramsey, to send the Thoroughfare Plan, with amendments, back to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated that since many concerned citizens had contacted the Council he felt it necessary to make the following statements. The first matter that came to attention was Susan Lee Lane which is shown as C4U had been changed to C2U, collector type street. Vance Road was shown as a C4U and is recommended to be a C2U. There would not be any houses torn down on Holiday Lane to make it a four lane street. There were some undeveloped portions of Holiday Lane that needed to be widened, particularly south of Chapman in the new Fox Hollow Addition, and between Chapman and the railroad tract and as it goes further north into undeveloped areas Holiday Lane may be widened to meet the criteria of M4U. There was no way Holiday Lane could be widened around Richland High School and along Holiday West Addition because homes were there. Holiday Lane needed to be widened as much as possible, however the City was not in the habit of tearing down houses to put new streets in. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated that Starnes Road was another concern of the citizens. There were some developed areas on Starnes that were not going to change, but there were also some undeveloped areas on Starnes Road east of the Stoneybrook Addition, where the street could be widened. There was no way Starnes Road could be widened where it was already developed and it should stay an C2U. Mr. Richard Boykin, 7605 North Richland Boulevard, appeared before the Council. Mr. Boykin stated that he had been informed that North Richland Boulevard would be widened. Mayor Echols stated North Richland Boulevard was not on the plan to be widened. Mr. Dan Anderson, 7201 Lola, appeared before the Council. Mr. Anderson asked what was meant by Holiday Lane being widened as permitted to M4U and if so how is it going to affect the traffic where it is not a M4U? Mr. Anderson stated it would be a bigger mess around the high school than it was presently. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated that he felt all would agree that if Holiday Lane from Loop 820 to Lewis Lane was wider it would be beneficial but the easiest route is to take the additional right-of-way from the high school property. Mayor Pro Tem June 10, 1985 Page 2 PZ 85-40 REVISED THOROUGHFARE PLAN Davis stated that he was not sure of the answers, and the Council was going to send it back to Planning and Zoning for further study. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated it was not in the plans right now to widen Holiday Lane. Mr. Anderson stated if was not in the plan why was it shown as a M4U street. Mayor Echols stated the City hired a consultant to help with the Thoroughfare Plan and the shortages of north-south thoroughfares had been identified. Mayor Echols stated that Holiday Lane was the only possibility for creating a north- south thoroughfare, which was probably less than desirable because of the way it had to curve around to reach the north. Councilwoman Moody stated she did not know where all the citizens were when the Thoroughfare Plan was advertised in the newspaper. Councilwoman Moody stated this Thoroughfare Plan was a road map for the City to go in the right direction because it was only half developed. Councilwoman Moody stated it did not mean the City was going to start tearing down everyone's house. Councilwoman Moody stated she felt the citizens needed reassurance that the Thoroughfare Plan was something to give the City direction and safe growth for the future. Councilwoman Hinkle stated that this was simply a plan for the future and certainly the City had neither the money to start widening streets or buying peoples homes. Councilwoman Hinkle stated that without a plan you have no direction and she saw this as a plan for the future. Mr. Lee Miller, 5124 Holiday Lane, appeared before the Council. Mr. Miller stated he had a concern on the widening of Holiday Lane but had also heard the property was all going to be zoned light commercial. Mayor Echols stated he knew of no plans to make the property commercial, maybe somewhere where it was not developed. Mr. Miller asked if Holiday Lane was widened how much right-of-way would the City take? Mayor Echols stated the requirement was 68 feet of right- of-way with 48 feet of pavement. Mr. Miller stated the street was 40 feet at the present time. Mayor Echols stated the street would remain 40 feet except in the area of Fox Hollow Addition. June 10, 1985 Page 3 Mr. Miller asked if the 40 foot street in his area would stay the same. Mayor Echols stated that this Council had no intention of widening it in that area. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated that he did not feel the Council could state that it would never happen. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated it was possible that in 10 years or so if a traffic count indicated that Holiday Lane needed to be widened, it might happen; but there were not any plans in the near future to do so. Mr. Miller asked if the street had to be widened would the right-of-way come off one side or both. Mr. Line stated a detailed engineering plan would have to be made before that question could be answered. Mr. Line stated the logical thing would be to take it from each side but then it might be more practical to take it all from the school property. Mr. Miller asked if the Thoroughfare Plan came up again if there was any way besides reading it in the newspaper that the people on Holiday Lane could be notified. Mr. Line stated the City would do the best they could to notify everyone involved. However he could not promise specifically that it could be done, because every action that was taken at City Council Meetings affected the lives of the people of the City to some degree. Mr. Line stated it could not be anticipated who exactly would be affected, and in what manner, and it would be hard to send a personal notice to 40,000 people. Mr. Miller stated that if the citizens were going to lose property he felt they should be notified. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated that if right-of-way was needed the person affected would be notified. Mr. Billy Williams, 7437 North Richland Boulevard, appeared before the Council. Mr. Williams stated that he had spent time talking to the people in the area and was surprised at how very few knew about the proposed Thoroughfare Plan. Mr. Williams stated that he felt some of the things that had been said tonight was indecisive and that is why he was here. Mr. Williams stated that he and his neighbors were here for one or two reasons. One 'reason was due to very clearly indicated changes in the Thoroughfare Plan and the other reason was that some changes were indicated graphically but were not properly annotated. Mr. Williams stated that additionally June 10, 1985 Page 4 June 10, 1985 Page 5 more than one of them had been told something different about the street situation and they wanted to get a consensus from the Council. Mr. Williams stated he had been assured by the City Staff over the last three years that Holiday Lane would never be widened and therefore was upset when he saw the Master Plan. Mr. Williams stated that the City did need a plan for orderly growth but not at the expense of the citizens that had bought homes and settled here. Mr. Williams stated the plan, as it stands now, was incomplete. Mr. William stated the plan addresses the streets and not the people or their investments. Mr. Williams stated he was personally concerned because Holiday Lane was on one side of his property and North Richland Boulevard on the front. Mr. Williams stated that some of the citizens were here because the graphic charts show North Richland Boulevard as a collector street but did not indicate if it was C2U or C4U and some had been told varying opinions. Mr. Williams stated he and his neighbors were against the widening of Holiday Lane and North Richland Boulevard. Mayor Pro Tem Davis asked Mr. Williams if he thought North Richland Hills Boulevard should be shown as a C2U on the map. Mr. Williams stated yes, he had attended the Planning and Zoning Meeting and the people on Riviera got a consensus from the Planning and Zoning Commission. Councilwoman Moody stated she agreed that the people on Holiday Lane had the same rights as they ones on Riviera. Councilwoman Moody asked Mr. Williams if it would make his happy if C2U was designated on both ends and M4U in the middle and put the responsibility on the Council and Staff to find another way to deal with the congestion and traffic. Mr. Williams stated it would make all of us happy to show Holiday Lane, all the way to Watauga Road, and North Richland Boulevard as C2U. Councilman Ramsey left the Council Meeting at this point. Mr. Ray Yoakum, 6808 Starnes, appeared before the Council. Mr. Yoakum stated he felt Starnes should not be widened where it was already developed. Mr. Jim Cato, 6729 Corona, appeared before the Council. Mr. Cato stated he had heard rumors that Redondo had been added to the Thoroughfare Plan. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated that Redondo had not been added. Mr. Cato asked what the City policy would be on the implementation of the Thoroughfare Plan pertaining to new development or new zoning. Mr. Line stated that if it had to do with undeveloped property, the Thoroughfare Plan would be a guide to the Planning and Zoning Commission in terms of determining right-of-way widths to be dedicated for street purposes and construction standards to be adhered to by developers. Mr. Robert Taylor, 4724 Mackey, appeared before the Council. Mr. Taylor asked what the designation for Redondo was. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated it was a residential street. Mr. Jack Roseberry, 8912 Martin, appeared before the Council. Mr. Roseberry expressed his appreciation to the Staff and Council who had worked long hours on this plan for the City. Mr. Roseberry stated he still had concerns on the route of Crane Road. There being no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Echols closed the Public Hearing. Mayor Pro Tem Davis amended the motion to send the Thoroughfare Plan back to Planning and Zoning with the following amendments: Susan Lee Lane designated as C2U; Starnes Road west of Davis C2U and east of Davis M4U; Holiday Lane north of Loop 820 M4U (consideration to be given to physical restraints as it is not the City's intention to displace people). Motion carried 5-0. Mayor Echols called a recess. Mayor Echols called the meeting back to order, the same Council and Staff present as recorded in the roll call except Councilman Ramsey, who left the meeting. 7.

Mr. Cato stated the Ordinance stated that disabled people with a doctor's certificate could obtain tub-out service at curb-side rate. Mr. Cato stated that his mother-in-law would not be able to take her garbage to the curb but would not qualify by the Tarrant County requirements for the disabled. Mr. Cato asked what kind of proof the City would require as far as being disabled. Mr. Jeff Peckham, Regional Manager of GSX, advised that a letter from a doctor once a year would be required. Mr. Cato asked how the citizens would be notified. Mayor Pro Tem Davis advised the City would do their very best on notification. It would be put in the quarterly newsletter and probably notices would be sent with the water bills. Mr. Cato asked if the letter from the doctor would go to GSX or the City. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated the letter would need to go to GSX. Motion carried 5-0.

Mr. Dan Anderson, 7201 Lola, appeared before the Council. Mr. Anderson asked on what authority was the stop sign at Holiday Lane and Lola removed. Mr. Line stated it was by his authority which was based on recommendation from the Planning and Development and Public Works Departments because cross traffic did not warrant a stop sign. Mr. Anderson asked if they didn't feel the school traffic warranted it. Mr. Line stated that since school was not in session it would have to be checked when school was back in session. Mr. Anderson stated that the speed limit signs were also missing. Mr. Line stated only the school speed limit signs were supposed to be taken down and he would check on the other signs. Mr. Steve Miller, 7301 Spurgeon Court, appeared before the Council. Mr. Miller stated he felt it was not worth the danger with the stop sign down. Mr. Miller stated it would be very good if a light could be put there. Mr. Line stated he did not know if a light would be warranted according to the guidelines the City had to abide by.
