June 15, 1972 Planning & Zoning Commission City of North Richland Hills 4101 Morgan Circle Fort Worth, Texas 76118 Subject: 3-847, CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, BRIARWOOD ESTATES PRELIMINARY PLAN Dear Si rs: We have received and reviewed the preliminary plan for Briarwood Estates Addition and funish you our comments as follows: 1. During the zoning hearing for this property, the City Council expressed grave concern about the concentration of all traffic from this addition on to Smithfield Road with that road in its present condition. We would highly recommend that the City Council order Smithfield Road construction plans begun and immediately prepare a bond sale of street and drainage bond funds for the improvement of that road because of this addition, as well as the Coventry Estates Addition, immediately North. 2. The portion of this addition that joins Smithfield Road should be revised to show a dedication of additional right-of-way which will provide a total right-of-way width of 60 feet in this area, so that Smithfield Road can be constructed as a thoroughfare as shown on the Master Thoroughfare Plan. In addition, this Developer should place his proportionate share of the funds with the City for the improvement of Smithfield Road. 3. Since Hightower Drive is to be a boundary street between this subdivision and the area to the North, we would recommend that this Developer place his portion of that street in escrow with the City and not attempt to construct any portion of that improvement. In addition, the Master Water Plan indicates a 24-inch water main in that street. We would suggest that this Developer would be responsible for the equivalent of an 8-inch water line in that street for his development and that this sum shouJd also be placed in escrow with the City. 600 FIRST STATE BANK BUILDING' BEDFORD.

There is indicated a low area in the vicinity of Sweet- briar Court which begins in the property to the North of this subdivision. Without topography information on that area, we cannot determine the extent of this run-off, and we would request additìonal information to the North of this subdivision, so that a better determination can be made of drainage facilities needed at the time of final p1at. 5. These plans indicate sanitary sewer to be connected at a sewer line located at the intersection of Chapman and Smithfield Road. This line is a 6-inch and is not sized to accommodate the watershed in which this addition is located. This watershed should be served through the sewer that now exists on the North side of Fort Worth Christian College, and we would recommend that this flow not be taken across the divide since the Walker Branch Watershed is already overloaded. 6. The water layout for this addition shows to bring its supply from a 6-inch main in Turner Drive which we believe will be adequate. It may be that the City will have this water line run before this Developer begins, and in such case, this Developer would pay his pro-rata share of that line. By beginning with Turner Drive with this line, it is our opinion that the water pressures discussed with the Council during zoning hearing would not be aggravated and probably would be improved by the construction of this addition. If we can be of further service in your processing of this subdivision, please do not hesitate to call. Yours very tru ly, w~.~. ~ AD.A~ .:-P~ W WM. R. RATLIF~~ WRR-hr
