time they had put under contract an additional ten acres of land
south of the TESCO right-of-way to combine with their property
north of the TESCO right-of-way. Mr. Scoville stated it was
their intent at this 'time to build a mid-rise office and
possibly a hotel, also a community shopping center. Mr. Scoville

Mayor Faram opened the public hearing and called for anyone
wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come
forward.
Mr. John Barfield, 416 Louella, Hurst, appeared before the
Council.
Mr. Barfield, 416 Louella, Hurst, appeared before the Council.
Mr. Barfield stated he had appeared before the Planning and
Zoning Commission about a month ago and there were approximately
46 residents within a few feet of the property that spoke in
favor of the request. Mr. Barfield stated the Planning and
Zoning Commission felt IF-8-1400 was the best use of the
property. Mr. Barfield stated that to the west of the property
he had approximately fifteen acres of multi-family developed and
if there should be opposition from the airport, the zoning of
multi-family would be as hazardous as single family. If indeed
there was a hazard.
Mayor Faram stated that the Planning and Zoning minutes reference
was made that it was hoped the City would improve the street by
the trailer park. Mayor Faram asked when the street was dedicated
and when the City had accepted it.
Mr. Riddle stated it was a dedicated street and City accepted it
when the trailer park was accepted.
Mr. Earl Newman, 6200 Shirley, appeared before the Council.
Mr. Newman stated he lived on the knoll and could see the entire
tract. Mr. Newman stated he was very much in favor of the single
family dwellings.
Mayor Faram called for anyone wishing to speak in opposition to
this request to please come forward.
Mr. Dan Echols, 5616 Neveda, appeared before the Council.
Mr. Echols stated he was Chairman of the Mangham Safety
Committee, Accident Prevention Counselor and a member of the
North Central Texas Council of Governments Air Transportation
Technical Advisory Committee. Mr. Echols stated the Air
Transportation Committee was currently conducting an aviation
demand forecast study and a study of private airport issues in
the metroplex.

Mr. Echols read the following section of the interim report:
"With regard to the specific utilization of airports within the
North Central Texas Council of Governments Regions for business
purposes as a general statement, most business and corporate
aircraft will utilize larger, better equipped airports with
improved facilities and land airs. The airport will generally be
in the vicinity where business is conducted. One of the
principal selling points in owning and operating a corporate
aircraft is flexibility and the ability to travel the landing
sites closer to where the business is."
Mr. Echols stated that using the number of airports in the
Metroplex area that were used by business aircraft on a day-to-
day basis was reduced drastically upon previous surveys of
business traffic in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Mr. Echols
stated that North Richland Hills had the forth largest airport,
in terms of general aviation operations in the Metroplex. Mr.
Echols stated that it was projected in 1990 that Mangham would
remain number four even though the South Fort Worth Airport would
be in place at that point and time. Mr. Echols stated that he
did not think that North Richland Hills to this day realized what
an asset they had in the terms of a business airport as well as
an airport that served the general public.
Mr. Echols stated he had heard statements demeaning industrial
developments and he thought that every member of the Council was
justly proud of the North Richland Hills Industrial Park. Mr.
Echols stated the same thing could be duplicated with business
and industry on the property in question tonight. Mr. Echols
stated that single family dwellings had the most drain on the
city budget in the terms of the amount of tax money it took to
support the services required for those types of dwellings. Mr.
Echols stated the best thing for the tax base was industrial use
if it was properly zoned and carried out. Mr. Echols stated he
thought the city should look at the opportunity to expand
Mangham. Mr. Echols stated that Mangham could not be kept if it
were not for the selfishness of Charles Mangham and his sister.
They had an offer of over two million dollars for the property,
but they had dedicated the property as use for an airport for the
next ten years. Mr. Echols stated the Mangham's had done this in
order to qualify for the tax benefit that was set forth by the
last Legislature.
March 28, 1983
Page 7
Mr. Echols stated that as Accident Prevention Counselor and
Chairman of the Safety Committee for Mangham, that when you
violate the clear zone of a runway and subject the clear zone
to uses that put people in danger, was a serious responsi-
bility. Mr. Echols stated he wanted to advocate very strongly
that single family dwellings not be placed within the hazard
area of the clear zone.
Mayor Pro Tem Ramsey stated he respected the question of legality
that was brought up when something was zoned and the consequences
of the zoning. Mayor Pro Tem Ramsey stated he had the opportunity
two years ago to participate in a similar zoning request and
the zoning was turned down for exactly the reasons stated by
Mr. Echols, plus other reasons. Mayor Pro Tem Ramsey stated that at
that time he wondered if you could deny people the use of their land
just because the airport existed. Mayor Pro Tem Ramsey stated
that just because the property was zoned industrial and the tax
revenue it brought in, you could not compare it with Graham
Magnetics and the taxes they brought in. Mayor Pro Tem Ramsey
stated he also was aware of the study made where the entire area
was considered and he thought the results was that the General
Aviation Airport should be somewhere in the vicinity behind Bell
Helicopter.
Mr. Echols stated he did not wish to deny anyone the use of their
property, but wanted the land to be used for what had always been
termed the best use of the land and in this case the best use was
industrial.
Mayor Pro Tem Ramsey stated he was looking at the legal aspects
of how the Council could rule on the zoning versus denying some-
one the use of their land.
Mr. Echols stated the airport was going to be there and he
thought it was definitely the Council's responsibility to protect
the people who might be hazarded by changing the zoning.
Councilman Hubbard stated that since Mr. Echols had said the
airport would be there from now on, then why didn't the owners
buy the property around the airport if they wanted to control
the airstrip.
Mr. Echols stated that the owners of Mangham would be happy to
contribute the airstrip and the taxiways that was essential to
the airport to the City or County in order to see that the
airport could be developed to the best use of the City.
Councilman Hubbard stated the city had recently completed a 20
year plan and every citizen had an opportunity for input,
although they did not exercise it and there were no provisions
in the plan to put access to this property for commercial or
industrial use. Councilman Hubbard stated there were no streets
designed to go to the property, so how could industry be put
there without access.
Councilman Davis asked if this property was in the approach
pattern of the airport.
Mr. Echols stated yes, approach and departure pattern.
Councilman Davis asked if the aircraft departed to the north
and south.
Mr. Echols stated that generally they utilized the crosswind
runway only when the conditions warranted.
Councilman Davis asked how often it was used.
Mr. Echols stated 15% of the time.
Councilman Davis stated that 85% of the time the aircraft
would be heading north or south.
Mr. Echols stated that was correct.
Councilman Davis stated that a statement was made that the
City would not allow Mangham to expand and asked how many new
business in the last five years had relocated at Mangham.
Mr. Echols stated there had been a desire not to grant a permit
for more hangers and every effort to expand Mangham had been
met with a roadblock.
Councilman Davis asked if any permits had been issued for
industrial tracts within 500 feet of Mangham within the last
five years.
Mr. Echols stated one business in the area had changed owners
recently.
Councilman Davis asked if any new ones had come in.
Mr. Echols replied no.
Councilman Davis asked Mr. Echols who would grant the special
tax consideration to Mangham that he had mentioned.
Mr. Echols stated it would be from all of the taxing entities.
Councilman Davis asked how much Mangham paid in taxes a year.
Mr. Line stated that after this issue came up, he asked the
Tax Department to check into it and looking at all the land,
buildings and airplanes, the total tax payment for the entire
complex, unless something was overlooked, was around $5,000 or
$6,000, they paid under $10,000.
March 28, 2983
Page 8
Councilman Davis stated that if the tax consideration was
given there was a possibility they would pay less. Councilman
Davis stated he did not feel the Council was determining the
development of Mangham Airport. Councilman Davis stated that
no new business had come into Mangham and according to the
Zoning Map there were all kinds of industrial property around
the airport. Councilman Davis stated the property in question
was about 100 feet west of the runway and not in the direct
flight pattern and he could see no better use of the property
than to put single family dwellings there. Councilman Davis
stated that Mangham was sitting out there dormant without any
development, the property was not going to develop as indus-
trial, therefore he could see no reason not to pursue the zoning
change. Councilman Davis stated he felt it was time to get off
high-center and go ahead and let the people develop around the
airport and bring in tax base for the City.
Mr. Echols stated that he agreed that something needed to be
done to get off high-center. Mr. Echols stated the first
thing that needed to be done was for the city to start looking
at Mangham as asset to the city and try to help develop it into
what the potential could be.
Mayor Faram asked Mr. Echols what the Safety Committee function
was.
Mr. Echols stated the duties varied on what was needed to try
and work our way to make safer operations.
Mayor Faram asked Mr. Echols if he had ever considered
buying the land around the airport for safety reasons.
Mr. Echols stated he would like to advocate for the city to
consider getting with FAA and looking at the possibility of
burying the power lines and extending the north/south runway
to the south and exercise the right of eminent domain to get
land that would extend the runway to the south and for funds,
contributed 90% by the Aviation Trust,to utilize the funds in
order to build this for North Richland Hills.
Mayor Faram asked Mr. Echols if they had considered buying
land.
Mr. Echols stated he did not know who would be able to purchase
the land.
Mayor Faram asked if the offer from Mangham was to donate the
airstrip only.
Mr. Echols stated that was what Mr. Mangham would donate.
Mayor Faram asked if the city would have the responsibility of
maintaining the runway.
March 28, 1983
Page 9
Mr. Echols stated, yes, if they wished to do it.
Mayor Faram stated the city would also have to pay the
cost of burying some $200,000 worth of power lines.
Mayor Faram stated that in the Study that was made at a
cost of approximately $15,000, it indicated that Mangham
ranked number seven out of seven in need and he had a hard
time in thinking the city would benefit owning simply the
airstrip and maintaining it for a privately owned airport.
Mr. Echols stated he was not advocating that the city do
that. He was advocating that the city go into a cooperation
with FAA and buy the 400 acres it would take.
Mayor Faram stated that would be fine, for the airport.
Mr. Echols stated it would become the city's if they bought
the land.
Mayor Faram stated the city was not in the development
business.
Councilman Kenna asked if there were any FAA guidelines that
stated the proposed issue tonight was illegal or unsafe.
Mr. Echols stated no.
Mr. Charles Pattillo, Euless, appeared before the Council.
Mr. Pattillo stated he owned two businesses at Mangham and he
operated two to three charters per week out of Mangham.
Mr. Pattillo stated he relied on his business at Mangham as
his sole support and he was very much against this rezoning
request.
Mr. Landon Son, 6217 Greenlee, Fort Worth, appeared before the
Council.
Mr. Son stated he owned an aircraft based at Mangham. Mr. Son
stated he had been asked to represent the other 200 aircraft
owners based at Mangham. Mr. Son stated they strongly opposed
the single family residences adjacent to the airport based on
safety aspects. Mr. Son stated it was not in the best interest
for family residences to be in the flight pattern.
Councilman Hubbard asked if the 200 aircraft owners had
considered buying the property.
Mr. Son stated it could not be bought and developed by an
individual, because they could not get the funds.
March 28, 1983
Page 10
Councilman Davis stated the statement was made that when the
east/west runway was used, 5% of the time the planes could come
in 100 feet above the houses. Was that under normal FAA
regulations.
Mr. Son stated that you had to get near the ground to land and
this rezoning request was at the very end of the runway.
Councilman Fisher asked if the take-off would primarily be to
the west.
Mr. Son stated no, to the east.
Councilman Fisher asked Mr. Son if he knew how close the
east/west runway was to the property in question.
Mr. Son stated the property abutted on the west end of the
runway.
Mr. Charles Mangham, 8650 Cardinal Lane, appeared before the
Council.
Mr. Mangham stated that he had sent a letter to the Planning
and Zoning Commission in opposition to the request. Mr.
Mangham stated he felt all points had previously been covered.
There being no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Faram granted
Mr. Barfield rebuttal time.
Mr. Barfield stated the only thing he wished to add was that
he did not believe the property abutted the runway.
Mr. Albin stated that according to the map the property did not
abut the runway.
Mayor Faram closed the public hearing.
16. Councilman Kenna moved, seconded by Councilman Newman, to
approve PZ 83-13, Ordinance No. 1018.
Councilman Kenna stated a similar request was made two years
ago and the same issues came up. Councilman Kenna stated those
interested in the Airport only show up on zoning requests
near the airport and if there was some serious efforts to
develop the airport, then they should show some activity.
Councilman Kenna stated he felt the owners had not seen fit
to develop the industrial zoned property in todays environment.
Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated that he felt the city could not
deny the use of the property based on what was going to happen
to the airport.
Councilman Hubbard stated the property owners were paying taxes
and he felt it was time to let them use it.

17.
Mayor Faram opened the public hearing and called for anyone
wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come
forward.
Mr. M.B. Dunn, 1200 Copeland, Arlington, appeared before the
Council.
Mr. Dunn stated they were currently building a shopping center
on this property and wanted to align the use with a little bit
more specific zoning. Mr. Dunn stated they could do practically
what they wanted to under the current zoning, but looking
toward the future they felt it wise to rezone the property.
Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey asked Mr. Dunn if this was the same
property the Council recently granted a sign variance to.
Mr. Dunn replied yes.
Councilman Fisher asked if the intentions were to build a
shopping center.
Mr. Dunn stated that construction was underway.
Councilman Hubbard asked Mr. Dunn if he was looking at the new

School. Mr. Flint stated the property was located in the flood
plain. Mr. Flint stated the property would be used for
recreation purposes in conjunction with the School District.
Mr. Flint stated he had been asked to seek aid from Haltom City,
Richland Hills and North Richland Hills. Mr. Flint stated land
fill was one thing that was needed. Mr. Flint stated they were
asking North Richland Hills to furnish a water main. Mr. Flint
stated he wanted to inform the Council on what they were doing.
Mayor Faram asked who owned the property at the present time.
Mr. Flint stated that the School District was the owner.

organization that was going to require an extensive amount of
work and money when there were three organizations in the area.
Councilman Hubbard stated the three organizations had over 3,000
parents in it and had been working for 20 years to upgrade their
program. Councilman Hubbard asked why a 4th organization had to
be formed.
Mr. Flint stated that three years ago the members of his organiza-
tion solicited members of RYA and they declined.
Councilman Hubbard asked Mr. Flint if he was working in conjunction
with the school to train soccer players.
Mr. Flint stated yes.

efforts in getting the organization started and maybe there was some
way the city could help. Councilman Davis stated he encouraged the
organization to proceed with their plans.
Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated he hoped the City's Park and Recreation
Board would have some input and maybe help with the organization.

efforts and advised Mr. Flint to contact a member of the Park
and Recreation Board for input.
