Page 2 November 11, 1974 REQUEST FOR APPEAL HEARING Consideration of Request for Appeal Hearing for Richland Enterprises, Inc., on Cases PZ 74-54, PZ 74-55, PZ 74-56 and PZ 74-57 Mr. Calvin Luper represented Richland Enterprises in the request for an appeal hearing on cases PZ 74-54, PZ 74-55, PZ 74-56 and PZ 74-57. REQUEST FOR APPEAL HEARING Mr. Luper asked the Council to remove PZ 74-54 and PZ 74-56 from this request. He also requested that the Council refer the following two cases back to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Case PZ 74-55 contains 36 acres and they are requesting the zoning to be changed from IF-12 to IF-9. Case PZ 74-57 contains 26.2 acres which is presently zoned Agriculture and their request is for IF-9 zoning. Mr. Luper stated that he would like to have the opporunity to meet with the neighbors to work out a solution to the problems which they see in this request. The lot size has been the determing factor in these zoning request but Mr. Luper feels that if the citizens in the area are aware of the size homes to be built, this case could receive favorable action from the Planning and Zoning Commission. Councilman Ellis moved, seconded by Councilwoman Goodnight, to authorize Richland Enterprises to present cases PZ 74-55 and PZ 74-57 to the Planning and Zoning Commission and to waive the filing fee for same. The motion carried by a vote of 6-0. City Manager Riddle stated that it would be January before the Planning and Zoning Commission could hear this. This was acceptable to Mr. Luper. Consideration of Request for Appeal Hearing for North Richland Corporation on Cases PZ 74-51 and PZ 74-52 Mr. Harold Hammett, 800 Baker Building, represented North Richland Corporation in their request for an appeal hearing on cases PZ 74-51 and PZ 74-52. Mr. Hammett stated that he had not been present at the Planning and Zoning meeting but that he had Page 3 November 11, 1974 listened to the tape of that meeting and read the minutes. He feels that much of the opposition which was raised by the ajoining neighbors comes from long time hard feelings, most of it centered around Burger-King. North Richland Corporation does not own the Burger-King property and is not responsible for it. Some opposition voiced at the Planning and Zoning meeting centered around the alley. The alley is not a dedicated street and is for the use and benefit of the merchants in the shoping center. Recently the gas lines have been replaced, some water mains fixed and, because of the extreme weather, neither the City nor the property owners have been able to repair the holes in this alley. This will be done as soon as weather permits. Another complaint centered on the water flow down the alley. When the storm sewer was put in on Turner Terrace a provision was made for a storm inlet at the alley way and Turner Terrace. This will be accomplished and should solve the drainage problem. Mr. Hammett stated that much of this shoping center is in non- conforming use and that the zoning application was made basically to bring it up to current City Zoning rules and regulations. Councilman Cato moved, seconded by Councilman Conant, to grant the appeal hearing for January 13, 1974 for cases PZ 74-51 and PZ 74-52. The motion carried by a vote of 6-0. LET THE RECORD SHOW THAT DICK PERKINS WAS PRESENT AT THIS TIME. REQUEST FOR GARBAGE FRANCHISE Consideration of Request from Sabine Valley for a Garbage Franchise Mayor Faram announced that the Attorney for Sabine Valley Lumber Company, Marion Massey, had requested this item be rescheduled for the November 25, 1974 meeting and that it would be done. PS 74-24 Consideration of Approval of PS 74-24, Briarwood Estates, Third Filing, Final Plat Mr. Doug Long presented the request of Briarwood Estates, Final Plat, Third Filing. Page 4 November 11, 1974 Councilman Jim Wood asked the City Manager and the City Engineer if the approval of this plat would increase the drainage problem on Hewitt Drive. The Staff replied that they had been working with Mr. Long and trying to work out an equitable solution to the problem which already existed on Hewitt Drive. PS 74-25 After much discussion on technical points involved in engineering proper drainage for this section, Councilman Ellis moved, seconded by Councilman Cato, to approve PS 74-24, subject to the approval of the Construction Plans by the City Manager and the City Engineer. The motion carried by a vote of 6-0. Consideration of Approval of PS 74-25, Crestwood Estates, Final Plat After discussion, Councilwoman Goodnight moved, seconded by Councilman Ellis, to approve PS 74-25 subject to corrections as stated in the Engineers letter, a copy of which is attached as permanent record. The motion carried by a vote of 6-0. APPROVAL OF BIDS Consideration of Bids on Five Police Venicles CONSIDERATION OF PAYMENT Councilman Lamond moved, seconded by Councilwoman Goodnight, to accept Mid-Cities Chrysler- Plymouth bid of $4,389.85 per unit for five Police Vehicles. Councilman Cato stated that he was concerned because we had only a single bid and that he would like to recommend that we not accept a single bid item. After discussion by the Council members the motion was defeated by a vote of 0-6. Consideration of Payment to Albert S. Komatsu and Associates in the amount of $6,500 Councilman Wood moved, seconded by Councilman Conant, to approve payment to Albert S. Komatsu and Associates in the amount of $6,500.00 for work performed for the time period of October 6, 1967 thru August 23, 1974. Councilman Ellis stated that he agrees we owe one per cent but since we have not adopted a building program, it is one per cent of what. Mayor Faram feels the bill is somewhat premature and would like to defer payment until the adoption of a building program. Councilman Ellis moved, seconded by Councilwoman Goodnight, to table payment to Albert S. Komatsu I P ,-'Í '7 7' - ..:¿..5~ . KNOWL TON-RA TLlFF-ENGLlSH-FLOWERS, INC.

Worth, Texas 76118 Subject: 3~871;CITYOF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS 'CRESTWOOD'ESTATES'ADDITION We have received the final plat for subject subdivision, and offer our comments as follows: 1. There are several minor corrections that need to be made on this final plat in regards to bearings on various lot lines. These locations are as follows: The lot line between lots 7 and 8 block 1, lots 8 and 9 block 1, and lots 5 and 6 block 2. The rear lot line bearing at lot 13 block 5 is in error. The bearing between lots 3 and 4 block 7 is incomplete. 2. We have made other comments in our review of the preliminary plat regarding water and sewer, but since these do not affect the final plat, we will review these at such time that the construction plansfor the subdivision are submitted. We would therefore recommend your approval of this final plat subject to the bearing corrections being made as noted above. Should you have any further questions concerning the review of this sub- division, please do. not hesitate to call. ~AJ~.9~ JRP-jh CC: Mr. Gene Riddle, City Manager ....fV'\ ~I¡:;>""T ""TL>T~ RANK RLnB. .
