ENGINEERS-ARCH ITECTS-PLANNERS/ Fort Worth - Dallas -, a res company August 30, 1974 Planning & Zoning Commission City of North Richland Hills 4101 Morgan Circle Fort Worth, Texas 76118 Subject: 3-858, CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, STONEYBROOKE ADDITION, SECOND FILING , We have received the preliminary and final plat and construction plans for the subject project, and offer our comments as follows: 1. This subdivision is designated as Stoneybrooke Addition. However, we would suggest that the Developer make note of the' fact that Stoneybrooke Addition has already been platted, and we would prefer that this addition be considered Stoneybrooke Addition, Second Filing. 2. The final plat for the subject subdivision does not have a legal description attached to the plat. This should be included before approval by the City Council. 3. Because of the replat of certain lots in the first filing of Stoney- brooke Addition, we would suggest that the utility companies be notified of this replat and that letters be secured from the utility companies acknowledging their agreement and consent for subject replat. / \ ¡ The curves that the Developer has placed in Hightower Drive are all too sharp for a major thoroughfare of this nature. We realize that the property purchased for this subdivision follows the curve that is shown on this final plat, but we would suggest that a minimum radius curve of 700 feet be used in design of this extension of Hi gh tower Dri ve. - ~ < \ 600 FIRST STATE BANK BLDG. .
