14. Mayor Faram opened the public hearing and called for anyone
wishing to speak to please come forward.
Mr. Al Rich, 6636 Avalon, Watauga, appeared before the
Counci 1.
PUBLIC HEARING
RUFE SNOW DRIVE
H1PROVEMENTS
Mr. Rich stated he really did not understand what was happening
in the way of assessments and payments. Mr. Rich stated it was
his understanding that the city wanted to purchase close
to 1800 square feet of his property at $1.20 a square foot
and then wanted him to pay approximately $1,235.00 for curb
and gutter. Mr. Rich stated it was his understanding that
he could not be assessed at more than what the improvements
would increase his property. Mr. Rich stated he could not
see how his property would increase in value, by losing 1800
square feet of property for a six inch curb. Mr. Rich stated
he understood the need for the street improvement, but he
could not see the city paying him $1,235.00 for his property
and him having to spend part of it for curb and gutter that
he really did not want.
Mayor Faram asked Mr. Rich if it was his contention that
his property would not increase in value.
Mr. Rich stated he was pretty well convinced that it
would not improve his property.
Mr. McEntire stated there had been an agreement made between
North Richland Hills City Council and Watauga City Council,
with respect to disagreement on values. Mr. McEntire stated
there would be independent appraisers appointed by each city.
Mr. McEntire advised Mr. Rich that it was the feeling that
the widening of Rufe Snow would increase the value of his
property.
Mr. Rich stated he did not feel it would increase his value
anymore than it would everyone elses.
Mayor Faram stated that in his meeting with the t1ayor, City Manager,
Councilmen Garcia and Suratt, he made a commitment to them that
he felt the Council would honor. The agreement was that the
City of Watauga and the City of North Richland Hills could select
a neutral appraiser and base the purchase price on the appraisal
if there was a disagreement. Mayor Faram asked Mr. Rich if
he would be willing to settle on the agreement that was made.
Mr. Rich stated he did not particularly like the idea.
Mayor Faram advised t~r. Rich that if the appraisal came up
different an adjustment would be made. Further, if the
contract estimate came in cheaper than what had been forecast
there may be some additional credits coming to him.
Ma rch 22, 1982
Page 7
Mr. Rich stated that to get the appraisers would be fine.
He thought everything would be settled tonight.
Mayor Faram stated that hopefully the ordinance would be
approved tonight, but there could be exceptions, if
he felt he had been unfairly dealt with, then he would
be exception number one.
Mrs. Mary Hensarling, 6613 Sunset Road, North Richland
Hills, appeared before the Council.
Mrs. Hensarling stated she agreed there was a need to
improve the street, but felt everyone that it would
benefit should have to pay. Mrs. Hensarling stated
she did not feel they should be assessed.
Mrs. Hensarling stated the street was behind
her house and would not benefit or increase the
value of her property. Mrs. Hensarling asked when
and who devised the assessment plan for Rufe Snow.
Mr. Albin stated that Resolution No. 79-28 set
the rates for assessments.
Mrs. Hensarling asked if she could find out how close
the street would come to her fence.
Mr. Albin showed Mrs. Hensarling a map showing how
close the street would be to her fence.
Mayor Faram advised Mrs. Hensarling that property was
not going to be assessed anymore than it would
increase in value.
Mr. Chip Driver, 6636 Sunset, North Richland Hills,
appeared before the Council.
Mr. Driver stated that he would like to know what
he was being charged for.
Mayor Faram stated that Mr. Driver had 117 feet of
frontage and his total assessment would be $1,209.93.
Mr. Driver asked how close Rufe Snow would be to
his property line.
Mr. Albin showed Mr. Driver his property on the map and
where the street would be located.
Mr. Driver stated his house was only 38 feet from
Rufe Snow at the present time. Mr. Driver stated
the street would be next to his fence line and all
he got out of the deal was paying money out. Mr. Driver
stated he agreed the improvements were needed, but he
was having to pay for everyone elses property values
to go up. Mr. Driver stated the whole community would
go up in value and why should a chose few have to be
the ones to pay.
Mayor Faram stated that corner lots normally had a
greater assessment because there was more frontage,
but by the same token they were higher in value.
Mr. Davis stated he did not feel corner lots were
higher in value.
Mayor Faram advised Mr. Driver that the street improvement
was not totally at his expense, the rest of the taxpayers
would share the expense. Mayor Faram stated the assessment
against the property would raise the value and if it did
not then it would be adjusted.
Mr. Driver stated that if it raised the price of his house,
and when he got ready to sell, no family would want to
move into a house with a five lane road that close.
Mayor Faram stated it was not inconceivable that Mr. Driver's
property sometime down the road might turn into a commercial
package.
Mayor Faram asked Mr. Driver if he did agree the street
improvements were needed.
Mr. Driver stated he did agree the improvements were needed.
Mayor Faram asked Mr. Driver if he took exception to the
assessment.
Mr. Driver stated he did take exception to the assessment.
Mayor Faram stated Mr. Driver's property would be
appraised by an independent certified appraiser.
Mr. Driver asked if he could have an appraiser.
Mayor Faram stated yes, if he wanted to pay for a certified
appraiser, then the city would accept his figures.
March 22, 1982
Page 8
Mr. Driver stated he wanted to talk to his father-in-law
about this first, but he would like to be an exception.
Mr. Driver stated that if no one objected to him getting
an appraiser, and if he did, he would be in touch with the
city officials within three days.
Mayor Faram advised Mr. Driver that if he chose an appraiser
then he would have to pay for it. Mayor Faram advised
Mr. Driver to make sure the appraiser was certified.
Mr. C. B. Pippin, 6701 Rufe Snow Drive, Watauga, appeared
before the Council.
Mr. Pippin stated he would also be speaking in behalf of
his mother at 6640 Summertime. Mr. Pippin stated
the letter he received stated the assessment was $10.69 a
front foot for curb and gutter. Mr. Pippin stated that
in the Watauga Council meeting it was his understanding
that he would be contacted and see if an agreement could
be reached. Mr. Pippin stated no one had contacted him.
Mayor Faram stated the figure that was quoted was an engineer's
estimate and was an upper figure. Mayor Faram stated the
figure could be adjusted downward, but not higher depending
on how the bids came in.
Mr. Pippin stated there was an existing curb on half of his
property at the present time.
Mayor Faram asked if the existing curb met specifications.
Mr. Albin replied no.
Mr. Pippin stated that the street would come within 6 feet
of his mother's bedroom and if that improved the property
value, he would like to know how.
Mr. Albin showed Mr. Pippin the map on the propsed street.
Mr. Albin stated the street would not be that close, only
the working right-of-way.
Mayor Faram advised Mr. Pippin that the city would deal
with each individual property owner.
Mr. Pippin asked that if the property did object, would the
city get in touch with them individually.
Mayor Faram stated yes.
There being no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Faram closed
the public hearing.
