APPROVED Mayor Trevino announced that he previously opened the public hearing for items C.2 and C.3. Deputy City Manager Paulette Hartman informed City Council the applicant is requesting a zoning change from C-1 commercial to RI-PD residential infill planned development (8.506 acres) and NR-PD nonresidential planned development (0.767 acres) located at 7201 and 7501 Precinct Line Road, respectively. The area is designated on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan as office commercial on Precinct Line Road frontage and medium density for the remainder of the parcel. Ms. Hartman provided site photos of the property. Applicant representative Mark Howe with Howe/Wood & Company located at 6617 Precinct Line Road, # 200, North Richland Hills presented request and was available to answer questions. Mr. Howe informed City Council they have worked with city staff for July 26, 2021 City Council Meeting Minutes Page 6 of 10 several months. This particular property is divided twice by a drainage channel. The proposed development includes a single commercial lot intended for office or retail development located at the southwest corner of Precinct Line Road and Rumfield Road and twenty-seven (27) single-family lots. The east section will include 17 lots and the west section will include ten (10) lots. The proposed development will have a homeowner association. The site is bound by the city's trial system and they are dedicating land to the city to extend the trail system to keep bike traffic off Spring Oak Drive. Mr. Howe shared that Tarrant County requested the installation of an eight-foot masonry sound barrier wall with a two-foot concrete mow strip to provide sound protection for the proposed residential. Mr. Howe commented that they recommend using a pier for each post to be placed approximately at six-foot intervals and to set the panels on top of the piers. Mr. Howe requested that City Council not require the mow strip as it defeats the purpose of the sound protection. Mr. Husband presented staffs report. The proposed development includes 27 single-family residential lots, with 10 lots on the west side and 17 lots on the east side of the creek. There is no connection between the two developments, but they share the common open space between them. The applicant is providing a dedication of property for future John Barfield Trail connection. Mr. Husband explained that the mow strip is required in the basic Public Works design manual for masonry screening walls. The mow strip will allow lawn equipment to get close to the wall without damaging pillars, piers or beams. A mow strip is required to be 12", but given the request of Tarrant County for a 24" mow strip, staff recommends an 18" mow strip. The related item, ZC 2021-04 is a zoning change for nonresidential planned development for a single commercial lot, which is adjacent to the 27 single-family residential development. The development includes a rear building line of 15', a masonry screening wall on the west side of the property to be constructed before the adjacent residential, a 15' landscape buffer yard and it will restrict driveway access from the residential street. The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their July 15, 2021 meeting, recommended approval of both items (ZC 2021-02 and ZC 2021-04) with a vote of 7-0. At the request of City Council, Public Works Director Caroline Waggoner provided an explanation of the purpose of mow strips in the public works design manual. The mow strip is centered under the wall for the ease of mowing. Boundary walls accommodate drainage. The city requires a two-inch gap under the wall for the ease of maintenance and to lock in that continuous drainage gap to prevent blocking the drainage of water from properties to the street. Mayor Trevino asked the City Secretary to call on those who completed a public meeting appearance form to speak during the public hearing. The following people spoke during the public hearing. July 26, 2021 City Council Meeting Minutes Page 7 of 10 Darrell and Beverly Bruce, 3428 North Riley Place, Hurst, Texas commented they support the proposed single-family subdivision. Mrs. Bruce asked for a traffic study to improve traffic flow from Rumfield to Glade Road. Ms. Caitlin Connolly, 7304 Spring Oak Drive spoke in opposition to the request and shared with City Council that she has ten (10) signatures from property owners within 200' of the proposed development. Mr. Jory Price, 3704 Spring Oak spoke in opposition, stating additional traffic and privacy. Mr. Brian Nolff, 3465 North Riley Place, Hurst, Texas spoke in opposition, stating traffic and request that the city require a traffic study. There being no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Trevino closed the public hearing. City Council and Mr. Howe discussed the County's eight-foot masonry sound barrier wall with a two-foot concrete mow strip. Mayor Trevino commented that staff compromised and recommended an 18" mow strip. Mr. Howe commented that he looked at other fences similar to what is being requested and the mow strips measured 12".
