To be more specific, the property is a rectangular portion of Block 14 (Final Plat) that borders on the North line of Brookhaven Drive and extends North 260 feet to a point approximately 300 feet South of Hightower Drive (see attached excerpt from the final plat). According to the Developer1s Engineer, the Developer plans to rezone this section of the present IF-9zoning to COTrul1ercial zoning, but not prior to approval of the Final Plat. We feel that the City Attorney should be consulted regarding the legality of such approval of a final plat where zoning has not been finally determined.

E. 1973 Planning & Zoning Commission City of North Richland Hills 4101 Morgan Circle Fort Ho·rth, Texas 76118 Subject: 3~858, CITY OF NORTH RICH LAND HILLS, " ·STONYBROOKEADDITION Dear Sirs: We have received the preliminary and final plat for the subject subdivision and offer our comments as follows: 1. Lots 24 and 25 of Block 6 do not meet the minimum lot depth require- ments of 110. feet. 2. There is no more room on the final plat, but a metes and bounds description of the property should be attached for filing to record. 3. Not all street right-of-way widths have been indicated on the plat. 4. Lot 6, Block 4 does not meet the 70 foot width requirement at the building line. 5. As noted on Sheet 14 of the Plans, the Developer should escrow his pro-rata share of the construction cost of Rumfield Road which will not be constructed at this time. 6. There is not enough information presented on the final plat to determine how much ri ght-of-~'¡ay has been dedi cated for the \'¡ideni ng of Rumfield Road. 7. The Developer should escrow his pro-rata share of the future 16-inch water line to be constructed in Rumfield Road. The proposed 24-inch water line in Hightower should be constructed at this time in lieu of the 8-inch line shown on the plans. 8. We would recommend that two (2) concrete ramps (one on either side of Brookview Drive) be provided into the proposed drainage ditch to allm'¡ proper City maintenance of the earthen channel. Access easements will also need to be provided for these ramps. .,--..,,,,,,.,~~v .... '~'.':.'" '.

In orde r to proper I y de termi ne th e feas i b i1 ity of the rou t i n9 of HightoHer Drive as a major thoroughfare, eastHard to Amundson Road, \'/e \·/i 11 need to have the exi sti ng homes eas t of Stonybrooke located on the plat. ShouId the Developer's proposed routing be workable, and should he be aIIowed to construct only one-haIf of High tm',er Drl ve (that porti on Eas t of th e dra i nage ch anne 1) , then We would recommend that a shoulder be constructed on the south side of Hightower to protect the asphalt edge for later const¡~uction of the remainder of the street. 10. Fire hydrant Coverage in the school and commercial areas should be on a 3DO-foot radius rather than the SOD-foot radius coverage required in residential areas. 11. A portion of Block 8 has no fire hydrant coverage at all. AIso a fire hydrant should be installed on the west end of Brookview Drive as homes in this area are outside the maximum BOD-foot I~ing l~ngth of fire hose. 12. Mr. Bronstad has requested that al] sewer service lines be stubbed out at the center of each lot in lieu of the location specified on the plans. . 13. A sanitary seWer easement shoUId be shown on the finaI plat for the houses fronting on F. M. 193B, as the sewer line is sh~n to be located on private property. A Iso the exact I ocati on of the 6-inch Water line paraIleIing this se~r should be Indicated and a minimum of 10 foot cleara·nce should be provided between these lines. 14. We would recommend that an B-Inch sewer line be stubbed out of Manhole #37 at Station 214+14.5 on Sheet 29 of the PIans for future sewer service at Woodbert Addition. 15. Storm drainage figures for the earthen channel and box culverts should be reIated to storm frequency, (I.e. 5 year storm) In Ileu of differing depths of flow. 16. We have been furnished a full set of construction plans for this subdivision. and we will continue Our review upon final action by ·you and the City Council of the preliminary and final plat. Should you have any further questions pertaining to this subdivision, please do not hesitate to call. Yours very truly" .~..~~Q~ J. BCHARD PERKINS, ? E. JRP-hr CC: Mr. Gene Ridd12~ City Manager
