3. Councilman Kenna moved, seconded by Councilwoman Hinkle, to
approve the minutes of the regular meeting of May 23, 1983.
Motion carried 6-0; Councilman Hubbard abstaining due to
absence from the meeting.
Mayor Faram stated he would ask for a motion to hear Item #23
at this time in the interest of the economy of the City.
Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey moved, seconded by Councilman Davis, to
hear Item #23 at this time, due to the fact that someone was
being paid by the hour and it would probably be several hours
before the Council got to Item #23.
Motion carried 7-0.
23. Mr. McEntire stated that Mr. Jimmy Smith, Consultant, would
give the Council a report.
Mr. Smith appeared before the Council.
Mr. Smith stated he had analyzed the request of CBS/Black Hawk
in relation to the service provided the City of North Richland
Hills. Mr. Smith stated this was a competitive firm and had
competition from network television, pay television and home
movies. Mr. Smith stated the rate structure of the company

was extremely important in respect to investor risk factor and
with respect to customer demand. Mr. Smith stated that if the
company's rates are out of alignment with either customer
preference or willingness to pay the stated rate for the
service, then the company will suffer in number of subscribers
they have for their services. Mr. Smith stated the requested
rate the company was seeking to place into effect would have a
net effect of increasing company revenue by 48%.
Mr. Smith stated that Black Hawk operates independently for
166 days a year and CBS operates the system for the last 199
days of the year. Mr. Smith stated there had been some
improvement in terms of monetary loss since CBS came into the
system. Mr. Smith stated that as far as current rates were
concerned the revenues produced were one million and a half
dollars on a twelve month basis and the revenues to be
produced at the revised rates would be two million one hundred
sixty six dollars.
Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated he was going to move that this
request be postponed until the next Council Meeting so the
Council could have the opportunity to absorb the figures.
Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated that it was hard for him to
believe CBS would buy a loser and that CBS would come in and
buy Black Hawk when they were in a losing status. Mayor Pro
Tern Ramsey stated that it would have been helpful if the
report given the Council had shown the current revenues versus
the revised rate.
Mayor Faram asked how many subscribers there were in North
Richland Hills.
Mr. Smith stated 5,784 in 1982.
Mayor Faram opened the public hearing and called for anyone
wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come
forward.
No one appeared.
Mayor Faram called for anyone wishing to speak in opposition to
please come forward.
There being no one wishing to speak, Mayor Faram closed the
public hearing.
Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey moved, seconded by Councilman Kenna, to
recess any action on this request until the June 27, 1983,
Council Meeting.
Motion Carried 7-0.

Councilman Davis asked the City Engineer if he felt the
existing culverts under the railroad could handle the
drainage and if the railroad had been notified. Councilman
Davis also asked about the drainage downstream.
Mr. Albin stated the engineer had checked and the existing
culvert could handle a ten year frequently storm.

Mr. Albin stated the sub-division ordinance required that the
drainage be taken to a recognized drainage channel downstream.
Mr. Albin stated that he had not been given any evidence that
the channel downstream from the culvert was sufficient to
handle a ten year frequently storm. Mr. Albin stated the
question had come up on whether the ordinance covered the
downstream channel in addition to the culvert. The question
was did the developers' responsibility end at the culvert or
at the channel located downstream from the culvert. Mr. Albin
stated that in regards to the ponding of water at the
railroad, he had not received enough evidence from the
developers' engineer to determine the extent of ponding there
would be. Mr. Albin stated that at some point in time the
culvert under the railroad would have to be enlarged.
Councilman Davis asked who would have to put the culvert in.
Mr. Albin stated the developer could be required to do it at
this time or the railroad might make the requirement. The
developer had not received a permit from the railroad.
Councilman Davis asked if it was possible the railroad would
require an additional culvert.
Mr. Albin stated yes.
Councilman Davis asked if the railroad did require a larger
culvert, was there possibly a need for some channelization
downstream.
Mr. Albin stated yes, if the culvert was enlarged.
Mr. Doug Long, Consulting Engineer, appeared before the
Council.
Mr. Long stated he had talked with the owners of the property
downstream and they had agreed, with their assistance and
cooperation, to clean out the channel and improve it. Mr.
Long stated that in regards to the culvert at the railroad,
there was a 4 X 4 culvert there now.
Councilman Davis asked Mr. Long if the railroad required a
larger culvert would he be willing to put it in.
Mr. Long stated that if the railroad required a larger culvert
the developer would have to put it in.
Councilman Davis moved to amend the motion to state "approve
PZ 83-45, subject to all the engineers' comments and showing
on the plat the minimum finished floor elevations at least one
foot above the railroad and written approval be given the City
Staff from the railroad that water was being discharged to
their right-of-way and they agree to it and written
acknowledgment from Texas Electric Service Company that water
was being discharged on their right-of-way".

Amended motion died for the lack of a second.
Original motion carried 7-0.

11. Mayor Faram opened the public hearing and called for anyone
wishing to speak in favor of the request to please come
forward.
Mr. Marion Massey, 2701 Airport Freeway, representing W.
Brown appeared before the Council.
Mr. Massey stated they had worked diligently to work out a
suitable plan with Haltom City and North Richland Hills.
Mr. Massey stated that Haltom City had approved the request
with no opposition. Mr. Massey stated that there had been
meetings with the citizens in North Richland Hills who had
objections to the request and most had been neutralized.
Mr. Massey stated they did have 48 signatures of residents
within 200 feet that were for the project, 50 signatures
of residents not within 200 feet and signatures of three
that had asked to be removed from the petition in opposition
to the request. Mr. Massey stated this project came to
light because two investors wanted to build a golf course in
the flood plain. Mr. Massey stated they planned to build the
golf course, repair the dams on the lakes, to pay for a u-turn
bridge at the intersection of Loop 820 and Rufe Snow Drive.
Mr. Massey stated they planned to build multi-family in Phase I
and II, between Loop 820 and TESCO right-of-way, bordered on
the west by the railroad track and build condominiums on
Phase II.
Mr. Massey showed the Council a lay-out of the proposed
development. Mr. Massey stated that Phase I and II were zoned
Local Retail in 1974. The present developer purchased it in 1976
and at that time did rely on the fact that it was Local Retail
and at that time multi-family could be located in Local Retail
zoning. Mr. Massey stated that Phase III was zoned multi-family
in 1974, but since that time it had been zoned back to single
family.
Mr. Massey stated they had done a traffic study on Phase III by
using a formula and traffic generated by a shopping center which,
under the present zoning, would create three times more traffic
than multi-family.

Mr. Massey stated the developer had made the following commitments
to the homeowners:
#1. Build the golf course and assure that it
would be done by putting up a performance
bond.
#2. Pay for a turn-around bridge at the intersection
of Loop 820 and Rufe Snow Drive.
#3. Confine the multi-family to the west side of
Colonial Parkway, north of the TESCO right-
of-way.
#4. Repair the dam on the lake.
Mr. Massey stated the Planning and Zoning Commission approved
the plan subject to two additional commitments. Mr. Massey
stated they agreed to comply with the exception of five acres
next to the lake being provided and paying for the
construction of an access road on the south side of Loop 820.
Mr. Massey stated the developer agreed to construct a six foot
masonry fence on the north line of the TESCO right-of-way to
shield the single family residents from the multi-family and
limit the first row of multi-family units to one story.
Mr. Massey stated that Phase III would be single family and
condominiums on the west side of Colonial Parkway.
Mr. Massey stated they had agreed that until such time the dam
would be repaired and the developer escrowed money with the
City for the turn-a-round bridge no permits would be issued.
Mr. Massey stated they had put together a workable plan.
Councilman Hubbard asked if permission had been obtained from
the Texas Water Board to make improvements to the lakes.
Mr. Massey stated yes.
Councilman Hubbard stated that with regards to the bridge, he
had a meeting with officials from the Highway Department and
they had advised him that it would take a contract with the
City to construct it and it would be approximately seven years
before the bridge could be built.
Mr. Massey stated seven years was six times the time frame
given them.
Councilman Hubbard stated the Highway Department also advised
him the bridge would cost in excess of one million dollars.
Councilman Kenna asked it both dams would be repaired.
Mr. Massey replied yes.
Councilman Fisher asked if Haltom City has approved the plan.
Page 6
Mr. Massey replied yes.
Councilman Fisher stated that the plat showed access from
Colonial Parkway down to the club house.
Mr. Massey stated that was a private street that they had
consented to build.
Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated he could not understand why
someone would take a nice area like Meadow Lakes and build
apartments on it. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey asked if it was
because the homes in Meadow Lakes could not be sold.
Mr. Massey stated the apartments were an economic factor.
Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey asked Mr. Massey if he was familiar with
deed restrictions.
Mr. Massey stated yes.
Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated he realized that deed restrictions
were a civil matter, but the deed restrictions in Meadow Lakes
stated the homeowners owned the lake. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey
stated that whatever the developer said he was going to do was
strictly a moral obligation and he did not feel the improve-
ments to the lake could legally be a part of the zoning.
Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated he felt the lakes were a civil
matter so why was so much money being spent on all the
amenities just to be able to build multi-family.
Mr. Massey stated it was obvious that single family homes were
not going to develop in Phase I and II.
Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated there were a number of acres in
the area already zoned for apartments and he felt the City was
going to get apartment poor over night.
Councilwoman Hinkle asked how large the condominiums would be.
Mr. Bob Worrell, General Manager of Custom Builders, stated
they had proposed 1,100 square feet and deed restrictions if
sold.
Mayor Faram stated that discussion had taken place on closing
off Colonial Parkway at TESCO right-of-way and Meadow Lakes
Drive so traffic could only turn south. Also, there would be
another opening easterly to the access road and use the access
road as the entrance to the apartment complex.
Mr. Massey stated they had investigated that possibility and
it would greatly affect the fire insurance rating.
Mayor Faram stated he was concerned with putting all that
traffic in the neighborhood.
Councilman Newman asked what the time element was on building
the bridge.
Page 7
Mr. Massey stated that it was indicated by Mr. Stone of the
Highway Department that it would take eight months to let a
contract.
Councilman Davis asked that if the access road was not built
from Colonial Parkway to Rufe Snow, if someone wanted to go
to the west, they would have to enter on to Loop 820 and exit
right back off.
Mr. Massey stated that was correct.
Councilman Davis asked Mr. Massey if he thought the Highway
Department would build the access road.
Mr. Massey stated yes, if the traffic warranted it.
Councilman Davis asked who would own the lakes and maintain
them.
Mr. Massey stated the developer owned the lakes.
Councilman Davis asked Mr. Massey if he would have a problem
with putting a time schedule on occupancy permits until the
bridge was completed.
Mr. Massey stated that if it took seven years to build the
bridge the apartments would never be built.
Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated he had paid $9.00 for a copy of
deed restrictions that were no good.
Mr. Massey stated that if the homeowners agreed to the deed
restrictions they were good.
Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated he wanted to point out that the
deed restrictions concerning the lakes was s civil matter.
Councilman Fisher stated he was concerned about the traffic
that would be put on Meadow Lakes Drive and asked about the
possibility of making a one-way from Meadow Lakes to the north
side of TESCO which would allow traffic to go out of Meadow
Lakes to Loop 820.
Mr. Massey stated they would have no problem with that.
Councilwoman Hinkle asked if it was correct that the City
would issue no permits until the money was escrowed for the
bridge.
Mr. Massey stated that was correct.
Page 8
Councilman Davis asked that if making Colonial from Meadow
Lakes to the TESCO right-of-way a one way north bound would,
if fulfilled, meet the requirement for fire protection.
Mr. Massey stated yes.
Mr. Bill Fenimore, 6041 Riveria, appeared before the Council.
Mr. Fenimore stated he was a developer in the City also and
he was very much in favor of the request. Mr. Fenimore stated
he felt this plan would be much better than a shopping center
and be an asset to the City.
Mr. David Reasor, 6545 Lakeside, appeared before the Council.
Mr. Reasor stated he felt the proposal would keep the sub-
division growing. Mr. Reasor stated he was attracted to the
area because of the lakes and felt they made the area unique.
Mayor Faram advised that the lakes were not a part of the
zoning issue, the City could not require the developer to fix
the lakes.Mr. Reasor stated he would like to see the Council
make the developer escrow the money to fix the lakes.
Mayor Faram stated he did not think the Council could require
that.
Mr. Reasor stated he felt the golf course would enhance the
area and the proposal would also increase the tax base. Mr.
Reasor stated he appreciated the changes the developers had
made for the homeowners.
Mr. E. F. Crites, III, 6050 Circleview, appeared before the
Council.
Mr. Crites stated he had signed a petition in opposition to
the request, however he was for it with the following stipula-
tions:
1. The apartments had a minimum of 1,100 square
feet.
2. Condominiums be 1,600 square feet.
3. Five acre park be delegated.
4. Both dams be repaired and the walls be a minimum of
25 year life or to State specifications.
5. Bridge at Loop 820 be constructed before any
building permits were issued.
Mr. Tim Hogan, 6401 Riveria, appeared before the Council.
Page 9
Mr. Hogan stated he felt this was a very well and effective
plan. Mr. Hogan stated the homes in Meadow Lakes had not
retained their market value because the lakes and development
was not completed. Mr. Hogan stated he felt the present
developer had made for provisions to handle the traffic and
that it would be a good development.
Mr. John Mayberry, 6405 Riveria, appeared before the Council.
Mr. Mayberry stated he was one of the first to move into
Meadow Lakes. Mr. Mayberry stated he knew the cost of
building and felt this proposal would be the best deal for the
neighborhood and the City. Mr. Mayberry stated he was
President of Meadow Lakes Association, which was not the
association referred to in the deed restrictions. Mr.
Mayberry stated the Meadow Lakes Association had a meeting and
24 members unanimously voted to approve this plan.
Mr. Willie Wilson, 4813 Woodcreek, appeared before the
Council.
Mr. Wilson stated he felt

Mr. T. D. Harton, 3805 Diamond Loch East, appeared before the
Council.
Mr. Harton stated he felt this was a good proposal and was the
best plan for the property.
Mayor Faram called for anyone wishing to speak in opposition
to the request to please come forward.
Mr. Bobby Heath, 6104 Riveria, appeared before the Council.
Mr. Heath stated he was a property owner within two hundred
feet of the property, that the development as it stood, with
the density that was proposed, would lead quickly to a 10%
increase in population in North Richland Hills. Mr. Heath
stated an increase in population would lead to increased
traffic at Rufe Snow and Loop 820, which is already a
congested intersection. Mr. Heath stated he would like to
suggest an alternative development south of the TESCO
right-of-way where so many condominiums were to be built to
put single family dwellings. Mr. Heath stated he was very
much opposed to the request.
Mr. John Nash, 5000 Lakeview Circle, appeared before the
Council.
Mr. Nash stated that when he purchased his home he asked for a
copy of the deed restrictions. Mr. Nash stated the deed
restrictions helped in the decision to purchase the home
because the developer and any subsequent developer would have
to develop single family residences until 1999.
Page 10
Councilman Davis advised Mr. Nash the City could not inforce
deed restrictions.
Mr. Nash stated he understood the City could not enforce the
restrictions.
Mr. John Harveston, 4821 Lake Side Circle, appeared before the
Council.
Mr. Harveston stated he was not for or against the request, he
wondered if the proposal would fit into the area.
Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated that it would.
Mr. Albert McDaniel IV, 6409 Meadow Lakes, appeared before the
Council.
Mr. McDaniel stated he thought the Council would consider the
request as the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended.
Mr. McDaniel stated he felt the golf course was a gimmick. He
thought the property next to the lake would be stipulated as a
park and felt that there should be a park around the lake.
Mr. Dave Freeman, 6549 Spring River Lane, appeared before the
Council.
Mr. Freeman stated the developer had done a fantastic job in
presenting the proposal and made many concessions. Mr.
Freeman stated he felt there were many present who thought the
City was going to guarantee the concessions and he would like
for someone to make the guarantee.
Mayor Faram asked Mr. Freeman that if the previous developer
had at one time promised a lot around the lake for access and
for some reason sold the lot.
Mr. Freeman stated that was correct.
Mayor Faram asked Mr. Freeman if he knew whether the previous
developer had promised to fix the lakes.
Mr. Freeman replied this promise had been made.
Mayor Faram asked Mr. Freeman if he knew why the lakes had
been drained.
Mr. Freeman stated the lakes were drained because they were
condemned by the State.
Mr. Freeman asked what assurance could be given the people
that the bridge would be built.
Mr. McEntire stated that no permits would be issued until the
money was escrowed for the bridge.
Page 11
Mr. Freeman asked if there was any kind of guarantee the lakes
would be fixed.
Mr. McEntire stated no.
Mr. Massey stated they planned to put up a bond and cash
escrow for the lakes.
Councilman Hubbard advised Mr. Freeman that in answer to his
question concerning the bridge, he had been advised by the
Highway Department that there was a chance a crossing over the
highway would not be granted and an outside chance they would
never approve it.
Mr. Freeman asked Councilman Hubbard if he was saying there
was a chance the State would not grant it.
Councilman Hubbard replied yes.
Councilman Davis asked if a time schedule could be placed on
the plan and if the schedule was not met the plan voided.
Mr. McEntire stated yes.
Mr. John Mayberry stated that in reference to the lot that the
previous developer had offered, the homeowners told him thanks
but no thanks because they did not want the responsibility of
keeping clean.
There being no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Faram closed
the public hearing.
12. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated he wanted clarification on the
petition. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated he found out at
3:00 p.m. today that there was not a legal petition. Mayor
Pro Tern Ramsey stated he was adviced that the petition was
void because there was not enough signatures of property
owners of 20% of the effected area. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey
asked when the procedure of verifying petitions changed, in
the past the mail out list was used and not the effected area.
Mr. McEntire stated there was not enough signatures either by
using the mail out list or the affected area.
Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated that according to the ordinance he
had, it did not meet the requirements of planned development.
Mr. McEntire stated that if the request was approved the
Council would have to instruct him to draft a specific
ordinance.
Mr. McEntire stated it was in compliance.

CONSIDERATION OF
ORD INANCE FOR
PZ 83-25
ORDINANCE NO. 1033
APPROVED
Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey moved, seconded by Councilman Hubbard, to
deny PZ 83-25.
Councilman Davis asked Mr. McEntire that if this request was
approved, with stipulations could he draft an ordinance
covering the stipulations and make it binding.
Mr. McEntire replied yes.
Councilman Fisher asked at what point and time stipulations
could be added or removed.
Mayor Faram stated that would go into the motion should this
motion fail and a new motion made.
Motion failed by a vote of 5-2; Councilmen Kenna, Fisher,
Newman, Davis and Councilwoman Hinkle voting against; Mayor
Pro Tern Ramsey an Councilman Hubbard voting for.
Councilman Davis moved, seconded by Councilman Kenna, to
approve PZ 83-25 with the following stipulations and an
ordinance be drawn up by the City Attorney containing the
stipulations.
#1. Escrow money with the City for the estimated cost of
the left turn bridge and any other cost above and
beyond the estimated cost. Also the bridge would
have to be accepted by the State of Texas and they
would issue the contract before any permits could be
issued on the multi-family north of TESCO.
#2. The condominiums in Phase III be 1,000 square feet
minimum.
#3. Performance bond to be furnished to the City for
construction of the golf course. A performance bond
for the completion of the lakes forwarded to the
City before any building permits for any tract would
be issued. Also the ordinance would state the City
would not maintain the lakes.
#4. A six foot masonry wall to be built on the north
line of the TESCO line abutting the apartments on
the south side. Also within 150 feet north of TESCO
the apartments to be one story only.
#5. Colonial Parkway to be one-way north from TESCO
right-of-way to Meadow Lakes Drive
#6. Site plans would be approved by the Planning and
Zoning Commission and the City Council on all tracts
before development could begin.
Page 13
Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated the motion contained many good
things, but did not think the Council should approve it as a
package.
Councilman Davis stated he felt that all of the things in the
motion would have to be done to be an asset to the City.
Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated he could not see them having to go
back to the Planning and Zoning Commission every time, they
either had a planned development or did not and they could go
to the Staff to work it out.
Mayor Faram asked if Councilman Davis meant they would have to
go back thru Planning and Zoning each time.
Councilman Davis stated no, for instance on tract one, a site
plan would have to be submitted and reviewed by City Staff,
Planning and Zoning Commission, City Engineer and Council.
Councilman Davis stated it was really a platting matter.
Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated he would like to strike them
having to go back to Planning and Zoning.
Councilman Davis stated he should have used the word plat
instead of site plan.
Mayor Faram asked if it would satisfy everyone if Planning and
Zoning Commission was deleted.
Councilman Davis agreed and Councilman Kenna agreed.
Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey moved, seconded by Councilman Hubbard to
amend the motion to state "turn Meadow Lakes Drive into a cul-
de-sac just before it got to Colonial Parkway".
After further discussion, Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey withdrew his
motion.
Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey moved, seconded by Councilman Hubbard, to
amend the motion to state "make a cul-de-sac on Colonial
Parkway north to TESCO right-of-way".

Fisher, Newman and Councilwoman Hinkle voting against; Mayor
