CALL TO ORDER ROLL CALL INVOCATION CONS IDERATION OF MINUTES OF THE EMERGENCY MEETING FEBRUARY 27, 1984 APPROVED AS CORRECTED CONSIDERATION OF REMOVING ITEM(S) FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA 6. Councilman Hubbard moved, seconded by Councilwoman Hinkle, to approve the Consent Agenda. Motion carried 7-0. Mayor Faram asked Mr. Line to explain the Consent Agenda to the students. Mr. Line explained that the agenda material was sent to the Council on Thursday prior to the meeting on Monday so they could look over the items and if they had any questions they had four days to get the answers they needed. Mr. Line stated that also prior to the meeting a Pre-Council was held, which was open to the public, to further ask any questions. Mr. Line stated that most of the questions were answered before the meeting. Mr. Line stated that when the Consent Agenda was approved a lot of items were approved and did not have to be voted on individually. *7. 8. Mayor Faram stated he had a request to speak and with the Council's permission he would depart from the rules and let them speak. Mr. Dick Perkins, Consulting Engineer with the firm of Teague, Null and Perkins, appeared before the Council. Mr. Perkins stated he was representing Mr. T. Johnson and would be happy to answer any questions the Council might have. Councilman Kenna asked Mr. Perkins if he had made contact with the agency that had to approve the flood plain on this property since the map showed it to be located in the flood plain. Mr. Kenna stated that one of the engineering comments was for Mr. Perkins' client to work with the agency to get it approved. Mr. Perkins stated the problem was that his client was faced with a situation with the lender on the property. Mr. Perkins stated his client must have a final plat in hand before the site plan could be done. Mr. Perkins stated they were requesting the Council approve the plat, realizing that they Page 2 March 12, 1984 CONSIDERATION OF CONSENT AGENDA ITEM(S) INDICATED BY ASTERISK (#7, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 & 17) APPROVED PLANNING & ZONING - PS 83-117 - REQUEST OF GENE HUGGINS FOR REPLAT OF BLOCK 42C-R, RICHLAND TERRACE ADDITION (LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF NORTHEAST LOOP 820 SERVICE ROAD AND CLOYCE DRIVE) APPROVED PLANNING & ZONING - PS 84-14 - REQUEST OF TLB-GSC ENTERPRISES, INC. FOR FINAL PLAT OF LOT 5, BLOCK C. COLLEGE HILL ADDITION (LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF HOLIDAY LANE AND BOGART STREET) APPROVED did not have a development plan ready. The Development Plan would affect the location of drainage facilities or flood plain because of the work that would have to be done on the property. Mr. Perkins requested that once the information on the site plan was provided, the Council reconsider the plat as far as engineering was concerned to make sure the City Engineer's Comments were met. Councilman Kenna asked Mr. Perkins if the lender was requiring a physical description of the property. Mr. Perkins stated yes. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated this was a departure from the rules and procedures on platting. Mr. Perkins stated he understood that. However, his client was willing to put some kind of condition on the plat that would prohibit the issuance of building permits until such time that the site work had been reviewed and approved by the City Engineer. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated that one of the things the Council had been trying to accomplish was to have the staff prepare a check list so that when a developer came in, and the plat did go to the Planning and Zoning Commission and Council, everything would be in order and there would be no problem with approval. This would avoid the person having to come back two or three times and he thought this was in the best interest of all parties. Mr. Perkins stated he did not disagree but this was a situation they had run into with the lender. Mr. Perkins stated the lender was requiring the platting be done and then they would deal with them, as far as the site plan and the development of the property. Mr. Perkins stated he would like to point out that his client had agreed in the preliminary stage of the plat to do some additional drainage work at the rear of the property which would alleviate a flooding problem in the Bogart area. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated he felt that if this were approved the Council would be opening the gate for each and everyone's special situation and the staff would not know exactly what the procedures were or the policy concerning items like this. Mr. Perkins stated that at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting the part about the lender was brought up and his understanding was that the Commission was looking into the revision of some policies that would enable this type of situation to be more easily handled. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated it was not in accordance with todays policy. Page 3 March 12, 1984 Councilman Davis asked if the question on the payment of taxes had been taken care of. Mr. Perkins stated yes. Mayor Faram asked what the problem was with the lender. Did the lender have his own special rules and did not think he had to comply with the City's rules and platting procedures? Mr. Perkins stated it was his understanding that it was a matter of having to deal with a piece of platted property before the lender would deal with the client on the basis of development of the property. Mayor Faram stated that the City did have rules for the platting of the property in receiving the final plat. Mayor Faram asked if the rule on platting was being changed just to get the lending going. Mr. Perkins stated he did not see a problem in this particular type of development of allowing this type of procedure. Mr. McEntire stated the lender was basically trying to identify the property the cheapest way he could. Mr. McEntire stated this was happening more and more with the lenders. Councilman Davis moved, seconded by Councilman Newman, to approve PS 84-14, with the stipulation that no building permits be issued until the interior water, sewer and drainage plans were approved and noted on the plat. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated that based on what the City Attorney had said he hoped Councilman Davis would inform the Planning and Zoning Commission for something to be put in the rules and procedures that would accommodate this in the future. The Council has tried very hard to get the staff to make sure that everything had been taken care of before a request went to the Council. Councilman Davis stated he agreed with Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey, but felt in the last months the staff had done exactly what the Council had requested and did not feel it was the staff's fault. Mr. McEntire asked when the policy had been changed that all comments be met before coming to the Council. Mayor Faram stated it had always been a part of the platting process for the Engineer to give his comments on drainage and sewer and those comments met. Councilman Kenna stated he felt this platting case was different and the Council might want to see what could be done in the future in cases of this type. Page 4 March 12, 1984 Motion to approve carried 5-2; Councilmen Fisher, Davis, Kenna and Newman and Councilwoman Hinkle voting for; Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey and Councilman Hubbard voting against. 9. Mayor Faram stated that Mr. Burk Collins wanted to speak on this item and with Council approval he would depart from the rules and let him speak. Mr. Burk Collins, Developer, 5328 Rufe Snow Drive, appeared before the Council. Mr. Collins stated he had met all the engineering requirements on the property. Mr. Collins stated that he felt that putting in the storm drain was solving a drainage problem that had existed in the area for a number of years. Mr. Collins stated the drainage would be put in Palomar Street and since the street was in bad shape, they would have to put a four foot wide strip down the middle. He would like to ask the City to bear the cost of replacing the street. Mayor Faram asked Mr. Collins if he was willing to go ahead with the drainage and patch the street, but was asking the City to join him in re-construction of the street which would be a total street instead of a patch. Mr. Collins stated that was correct. Mr. Collins stated he was being forced to spend $50,000 to solve a lot of peoples problems, which he had agreed to do and would do but felt it was fair in asking the City to replace the asphalt on the street rather than patch it. Mr. Collins stated if the street was patched it would be an eye-sore because the street was in terrible shape at the present time. Mayor Faram asked Mr. Collins if the $50,000 was just his Engineers' estimate. Mr. Collins stated yes. He did not know how much was tied to the storm drain or the street. Mayor Faram stated that as a possible solution, could this be bid as two separate projects and the City pick up the difference in the overall finishing of the street. Mr. Collins stated he was not sure he understood what Mayor Faram was saying. Mayor Faram stated the cost would be such a figure that would require the City to advertise for bids. Mr. Line stated that if the City got involved in the project to the extent of $5,000 or more it would be necessary for the City to advertise for bids. Mr. Line stated that what Mayor Faram was suggesting was that Mr. Collins had agreed to put in the storm drain and the requirement was the street be patched Page 5 March 12, 1984 PLANNING & ZONING - PS 84-17 - REQUEST OF BURK COLLINS INVESTMENTS FOR FINAL PLAT OF LOT 3, BLOCK 50, NOR'EAST ADDITION (LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF DAVIS BOULEVARD, BOUNDED ON THE WEST BY ROBERTA AND ON THE NORTH BY LOLA DRIVE) APPROVED over the drain and Mr. Collins suggested the City pick up the difference between the patching and resurfacing completely. Mr. Line stated State law required the City to take competi- tive bids on projects that cost $5,000 or more. Mr. Line asked for verification from the City Engineer if it was fact that the City did have a drainage problem in that area, regardless of Mr. Collins development, and the storm drain Mr. Collins plans to construct would help solve the problems. Mr. Albin stated there was definitely problems at the present time. Mr. Albin stated this storm drain was recommended by the City Engineers. Initially the developer had planned to put the storm drain northward to Lola, which has current drainage problems. Mr. Albin stated the drain in Lola was already overloaded and not designed to carry run-off from the developers area, so he recommended the storm water be taken to an underground line in Palomar over to an existing line in Susan Lee. Mr. Albin stated there had been no mention of the City participating in the cost of repaving. Mr. Albin stated he had assumed the developer would patch the street and at some future time the City would include Palomar in the CIP and either overlay or reconstruct the street to City standards. Mayor Faram asked Mr. Collins if he was only interested in putting in the drainage and let the city reconstruct the street. Mr. Collins stated he would put in the drainage and prepare the base and the City do the overlay on the entire street. Mayor Faram asked Mr. Collins if it would be acceptable to him for the City to accept bids on the street to separate the two projects and Mr. Collins pay the City so the City could pay the contractor. Mr. Collins stated that would be acceptable. Mr. Collins stated it was his understanding the present base on the street could be used. Mr. Albin stated tests would have to be done on the base to verify if it could be used. Mr. Albin stated there was also a need for replacing the existing 2" water line in Palomar and this would be a good opportunity to do so. Councilman Davis stated that to make sure he understood, had Mr. Collins agreed to help the drainage problem in the area by putting in the storm drain and it would be the City's option to build the street and replace the water line. Councilman Davis stated this project could possibly be added to the CIP. Mayor Faram stated his next question would be - did the City have the funds to do the project? Page 6 March 12, 1984 Councilwoman Hinkle asked the approximate cost to do the project. Mr. Albin stated the approximate cost for reconstruction of the street would be $42,000 and approximately $20,000 for the water line. Councilman Fisher asked Mr. Collins if he had said he was willing to participate in the rebuilding of the street to the extent of what it would cost for resurfacing the one section over the ditch. Mr. Collins stated yes, if that was what the Council wanted. But that was not what he was asking. Mr. Line stated the only problem he had in regards to getting the storm drain, street and waterline all mixed together was timing because the legal requirements on the City were such that it would be three or four months before the project could get underway and he did not know if that would fit Mr. Collins time schedule. Mr. Collins stated he did not feel he could wait that long. One reason being the high interest rate he was having to pay. Mr. Line stated that if the Council wished, Mr. Collins could go ahead with the storm drain while the CIP Committee, Staff and Mr. Collins tried to work out something in regards to evaluating the street, determine what condition it was in now, and what condition it was likely to be in after the storm drain was put in. Mr. Line stated cost estimates needed to be obtained and the Council could decide at a subsequent Council meeting on what they wanted to do. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated that the Council might need to go ahead and approve the plat, because all Engineering comments had been met and let the Staff and Mr. Collins see what could be worked out. Mayor Faram asked if the Staff would come back to the Council with a recommendation at a later date. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated yes. Councilman Kenna moved, seconded by Councilwoman Hinkle, to approve PS 84-17, with the stipulation the City Staff work with Mr. Collins to determine the final method of whether Mr. Collins did the patching or whether or not the City found the resources to do something more on the street. Councilman Davis asked if this meant the development would proceed and the City would try to find the funds to do the project. Page 7 March 12, 1984 Mayor Faram stated yes. Motion carried 7-0. 10. Mr. F. D. Muster, Real Estate Representative for Gulf Oil, appeared before the Council. Mr. Muster stated he was present to answer any questions the Council might have. Councilman Fisher asked if this was a standard Gulf car wash where you drove through. Mr. Muster replied yes. Councilman Davis asked if there was going to be an additional drive. Mr. Muster replied no because the State would not permit another drive. Councilman Kenna moved, seconded Councilman Fisher, to approve PS 84-18. Motion carried 7-0. *11. *12. *13.

Mr. Jack Roseberry, 8912 Martin, appeared before the Council. Mr. Roseberry stated the proposal he would like to make to the Council was on behalf of ERA Real Estate Brokers of North Richland Hills. Mr. Roseberry stated that every year ERA was involved in several civic drives for the City. Mr. Roseberry stated that in April Private Property would be coming up to promote the upkeep of private property and this year something different had been proposed. Mr. Roseberry stated the proposal was for the City's cooperation with ERA to alleviate a very serious problem as people would be cleaning up this time of year. Mr. Roseberry stated that Mr. Line had .

JACK ROSEBERRY RE: PROPOSED CLEAN-UP CAMPAIGN SPONSORED BY ERA REALTORS suggested he meet with the Council and see if there was a possibility of conducting a clean-up drive in the City of North Richland Hills. Mayor Faram stated there had been a clean-up drive in North Richland Hills previously and was very successful. Mr. Roseberry stated that ERA would be willing to work with the City Staff to get the program underway. Mayor Faram stated he felt this was a worthy effort and would direct the City to work with ERA and see what could be done. Councilman Davis stated he thought the City Staff should contact the garbage company and see what could be worked out with them on dumpsters or picking up trash. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated he felt the franchise company would be happy to participate in the clean-up drive. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey asked that the Staff prepare a resolution for the next Council meeting supporting this effort. Councilman Fisher stated he supported Mr. Roseberry in this effort and would like to include that if the elderly had no way of getting the trash to a dumpster somehow it could be worked out to pick it up for them. Mr. Bill Calvert, 6721 Hewitt, appeared before the Council. Mr. Calvert stated that about two years ago Mr. Bob Brady, in preparing for the Bond Issue on the CIP Program, invited some of the citizens to his presentation on the program. Mr. Calvert stated the map that was presented at that time had allocated approximately $442,000 for the improvements of drainage on Hewitt. Mr. Calvert stated that he had since found out that the drainage on Hewitt had been deleted from the program and he was disturbed about it. Mr. Calvert stated that it seemed to him if the City wanted the citizens to support a program like this, then it should not be deleted. As for as he was concerned, when someone was asked to vote on the program then it should be binding on both parties. Mr. Calvert stated that then here tonight it was discussed that it would cost approximately $42,000 to fix a street that was not in the CIP. Mr. Calvert asked where the priorities were. Was the City getting away from the Bond package? Councilman Davis stated the Hewitt Street project was voted to be deleted because the Council felt it would not be cost effective at the time and another major reason was because of development along Chapman Road that would relieve most of the drainage problem in the area. Councilman Davis stated the CIP Committee felt the existing channel would take care of the drainage. Councilman Davis stated that if this did not correct the problem, the Committee could bring it back up to the Council. But this was the reason Hewitt was dropped at this time. Page 10 March 12, 1984 Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated that in support of what Councilman Davis had said, everyone of the items on the Bond Program were contained in the Committee's proposal. Each and every one was being addressed and the situation changed from the time they were prepared based on the recommendation of the Staff and City Engineer. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated that Hewitt Street was one that had changed. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated that the Committee was looking at these things at least every two months and were not getting away from the program. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated the Council could not deviate and go back and ask the people to support a bond issue in the future. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated that was why close attention was being given to the program but at the same token the City could not, in good faith to the citizens, say spend X amount of money on something that would affect only two homes and that was one of the reasons Hewitt Street was recommended to be deleted from the program. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated that if the problem did not get corrected the Committee would go back and address it. Mr. Calvert asked what the reason was for putting Hewitt Street in the program if it only affected two homes. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated that he assumed that the develop- ment that was going to capture the water was not proposed at the time the bond issue was held. Mayor Faram stated that the projects in the CIP were mentioned as possibilities in the bond issue and all would have to be evaluated by priorities. Mayor Faram stated that the first and foremost in the last bond election was that Rufe Snow Drive be built and then all others would have to be evaluated and a priority placed on them. Mayor Faram stated he could see the concern if indeed Palomar was not listed. Mayor Faram stated he felt the CIP Committee had done an excellent job in going over the program. Mr. Grady Buck, 7629 Hightower, appeared before the Council. Mr. Buck stated he would like to speak in support of Mr. Calvert. Mr. Buck stated that in about two weeks the Council was going to be considering some rezoning at the corner of Hightower and Meadow Road which had been turned down previously because of drainage and bad streets. Mr. Buck stated that at the time the zoning was denied, the Council said a study would be made and they would try to get easements to take care of the drainage. Mr. Buck stated that since that time nothing had been done in the area. Mr. Buck stated that in answer to the question of development going on that would correct the drainage problems, he felt the open bar ditch that had been dug west of Little Ranch Road was the problem; you could not get the water to it from Hewitt, Meadow Road and Hightower. Mr. Buck stated another problem was that another developer had come in to the north of Hewitt to develop 11 acres. Mr. Buck stated he could not see that this was an Page 11 March 12, 1984 improvement. Mr. Buck stated the main thing he wanted to do was support Mr. Calvert in his request. He said the City had made promises regarding the area and because they were not in North Richland Hills "proper", he felt they were being slighted. Mayor Faram asked Mr. Buck what he meant by the statement he was not in North Richland Hills "proper". Mr. Buck stated they were in Smithfield. Mayor Faram asked Mr. Buck if he did not consider that a part of North Richland Hills. Mr. Buck stated no, not really. Mr. Buck stated he would like for the Council to keep in mind the zoning request coming up in this area. Councilman Kenna stated that the Morgan Drive drainage problem had been the subject with the Council for sometime and had been high on the list of priorities to fix. Councilman Kenna stated that the city had been only able to obtain two of the sixteen easements that was needed, even with the help of a citizens group. Councilman Kenna stated the City had not been able to do anything because the easements could not be obtained. Mr. Buck stated he did not realize the City was unable to obtain the easements. Mr. Buck stated that Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey said so much work had been done in the area to eliminate the drainage problem and actually approximately 100 acres had been rezoned in the area. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated that was not what he had said, he said that there was a subdivision or development going in that the City Staff and City Engineer had advised the Council it would alleviate the problem. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated that the Council had to rely on what the Staff and Engineer told them. Mr. Buck stated that regardless of what the Staff or Engineer told the Council this was not the case. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated that only history would prove that, but at the present time the Engineer had hard factual data that said that it would. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated that he would have to stand with what the CIP Committee had done. They had worked very hard in the best interest of all the citizens of the community, but priorities had to be established. Page 12 March 12, 1984 Councilman Hubbard stated he would like to thank the students for coming to the meeting. Councilman Hubbard stated he would like to explain to the students that under Citizen Presentation any person in the audience had the right to address the Council and discuss any item. Councilman Hubbard stated the Council could not legally take action because the item was not on the agenda, but could listen to the complaints and problems. If the Council felt the problem needed to be addressed it could be put on the agenda at a later date and action could be taken. Mayor Faram thanked Mrs. Hilyard for bringing the students. 19. Mayor Faram adjourned the March 12, 1984 meeting. ATTEST: r¡~ m~ Page 13 March 12, 1984 ADJOURNMENT
