Chairman Crowson called on Stefanie Martinez, Director of Neighborhood Services, to
present the case.
Ms. Martinez presented an area and zoning map of the property located at 7408 Bursey
Road.
Ms. Martinez presented an overview of the case to the Board.
This case started back in 2020 and originated from some nuisance concerns stagnant
pool and some overgrowth with the high grass and weeds. When they were out there,
they identified substandard structures. The property is in an estate name. The person of
the estate is still alive. At the last meeting in September of 2022, the owner's daughter
and grandson were present at the previous meeting. This is a single family home. It has
been modified several times. There is a workshop and an independent garage that has
vehicles and items stored in it.
Ms. Martinez advised the Board that they first heard this case on September 13, 2023.
The grandson had communicated to the Board that it was his intent to sell the property.
At that meeting the Board ordered that the property owner to obtain all the required
permits within 45 days and complete all required repairs within 60 days.
Ms. Martinez informed the Board that on November 28, 2022, staff received an email
from Tanner Moss, grandson of the property owner, stating he has continued to maintain
the property. They had been mowing and cleared a bunch of bamboo that was around
the property. They did additional cleanup around the property and the pool had been
drained. He stated he was going to apply for permits to go ahead and repair the
structure. He also stated he would be taking the house off the market and is intent now
would be to make the repairs and make the property occupiable again. He would secure
the doors, etc.
On January 6, 2023, Code Officers Rayneice Home and Candice Simmons drove by the
property, the grass appeared to be mowed. The "FOR SALE" sign still appears to be in
the front yard. Photos were taken.

On February 6, 2023, the Notice of Hearing was mailed to the property owners.
Ms. Martinez presented several photos of the property. Photos included:
• Posted Notice of Hearing on the front door of the residential structure.
• Several photos presented from the Administrative Warrant they obtained back in
August of 2022. Photos showed the second-floor decking on the exterior of the
main structure at the rear/eastern side was rotten and not stable, the staircase
had rotten/broken wood, about 50% of the railing was missing. Also, showed
accumulation of litter, trash/debris, wood and several miscellaneous items stored
on the property. Photos of the interior debris from ceiling damage; sheetrock
failure; water damage at windows and walls.
• Several photos were presented that were taken on September 13, 2022.
• Several photos were presented that were taken on January 6, 2023. They had
trimmed back trees and bamboo. Photo showing bamboo growing back. The for
sale sign still up.
• Photo presented dated February 21, 2023, shows the property remains the same.
No additional actions had been taken on the property.
• Photo of the listing obtain through the internet regarding the for sale of the
property.
As of the date of the hearing, they haven't heard from the granddaughter or grandson or
anybody of the estate. Also, no permit has been applied for.
Staff recommends that the Substandard Building Board:
• Find that the single family residential and accessory structures are non-compliant
with the previously issued Substandard Building Board Order issued on
September 13, 2022.
• Issue a civil penalty in accordance with Chapter 98, Sec 98-470 in the amount of
$41,000.00 which is $1,000.00 per day that the property remained in violation of
the Ordinances of the City of North Richland Hills since the deadline to comply
with the September 13, 2022 Board Order for failure to repair or demolish the
structures as previously ordered.
• Confirm that the City is authorized to move forward with executing the demolition
process included with the September 13, 2022 Board Order.
Ms. Martinez informed the Board that she understands that $41,000 is a lot of money
and that is the maximum amount that can be requested for failure to comply with the
Board Order. This is just staff recommendation. We were hoping that the property owner
would have done something with the property such has sold it or demolish the structures
or made the repairs to the structures. We haven't seen anything done positively beside
Substandard Building Board Meeting
February 21, 2023

the minor cleaning of the property. We were hoping someone would be here to tell us
why, but no one is here.
Chairman Crowson asked Ms. Martinez has she heard from them. Ms. Martinez replied
no not recently. The last she heard from anyone was in November 2022 and it was by
email from Tanner Moss stating they were going to make the repairs and take it off the
market.
Chairman Crowson asked the Board if they had any questions for the city.
Mr. Wait asked if Ms. Martinez if anyone lives at the property. Ms. Martinez replied no.
She believes they all live in Mesquite. The grandson, Tanner Moss, lives in Dallas.
Mr. Caulkins asked if the Board gives the city authority to demolish how quickly will the
city execute that. Ms. Martinez replied what we would do since the time has passed on
the Order that was initiated by the Board, we would wait 30 days since the property
owner can appeal to the District Court. During that time, we would proceed with asking
for bids to do the work. Potentially between 31- 60 days we would proceed forward with
the demolition. Ms. Martinez isn't sure how quickly she could get the bids and how
quickly that could be executed.
Mr. Caulkins asked if the homeowner is responsible for the cost of the demolition. Ms.
Martinez replied yes. They will be billed for the charges. If they don't pay the bill, a lien
will be placed on the property.
Chairman Crowson asked the Board if they had any questions for the city.
Chairman Crowson opened the public hearing and asked for anyone wishing to speak
on the item to come forward. No one stepped forward.
Chairman Crowson closed the public hearing.
The Board discussed the civil penalty amount.

C.3 SBB 2022-95 PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION AS TO WHETHER
THE STRUCTURE ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 6721 RICHFIELD DRIVE,
LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS LOT 5, BLOCK 2 OF THE RICHFIELD SUBDIVISION IN
THE CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS REMAINS
SUBSTANDARD WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE CITY'S ORDINANCES AND
ORDER REPAIR OR DEMOLITION OF THE STRUCTURE AND/OR ASSESS A CIVIL
PENALTY FOR NON-COMPLIANCE OF THE PREVIOUSLY ISSUED ORDER.
APPROVED
Chairman Crowson called on Stefanie Martinez, Director of Neighborhood Services, to
present the case.
Ms. Martinez presented an area and zoning map of the property located at 6721
Richfield Drive.
Ms. Martinez provided the Board with a quick overview of the case for 6721 Richfield
Drive. The case started in June 2021 due to a second-floor addition constructed with no
permit. In November at the Substandard Building Board meeting, the property owner
husband appeared. The property is in the wife's name. At that point, it was discussed
with Building Official Dave Pendley that an inspection be conducted so that he could
walk the property with the property and be able to identify everything that needed to be
address before we could consider issuing a permit to do the work on the second addition
because there were outlining buildings that were encroaching the setbacks along the
property. The Board issued an order on November 8, 2022, finding the property to be
substandard for the second-floor addition being constructed without a permit, all
required permits be obtain within 30 days and all repairs be made within 90 days.
On November 16, 2022, Chief Building Official Dave Pendley went out to re-inspect the
property and met with Mr. Johnson. Mr. Pendley observed two exterior additions. It was
explained to Mr. Johnson that the structure on the north side of his property and the
structure on the southwest side of his property needed to be removed as one of the
conditions for obtaining a building permit for the unauthorized remodel/addition to the
main residence. At that time, Mr. Johnson did not invite Mr. Pendley in to see the
interior of the house as discussed during the Substandard Building Hearing on
November 8, 2022.
On January 6, 2023, Code Officers Rayneice Home and Candice Simmons drove by the
property, the second story addition remained. No active permit(s) on file. Photos were
taken.
On February 6, 2023, Notice of Hearing was mailed to the property owners.

Ms. Martinez presented several photos of the property. Photos included:
• Posted Notice of Hearing on the front door of the residential structure.
• Photo presented at the November 8, 2023, meeting showing the carport area and
area phot showing the other structures on the property, and photo showing the
second-floor addition.
• Photos taken on January 6, 2023. The fence is high, but it is believed the carport
structure has been removed. Staff couldn't confirm that without the gate being
open.
• Photo taken on February 21, 2023, showing no change to the second-floor
addition.
Chairman Crowson asked Ms. Martinez if she had a google picture of the resident
before the second flood addition was constructed. Ms. Martinez replied yes, she does.
Photo was presented to the Board.
Staff recommends that the Substandard Building Board:
• Find that the single family residential non-compliant with the previously issued
Substandard Building Board Order issued on November 8, 2022.
• Issue a civil penalty in accordance with Chapter 98, Sec 98-470 in the amount of
$150.00 which is $10.00 per day that the property remained in violation of the
Ordinances of the City of North Richland Hills since the deadline to comply with
the November 8, 2022 Board Order.
• The city is authorized to execute any demolition that is required or needed of the
second-floor addition that still hasn't been permitted or reviewed.
Ms. Martinez informed the Board that there were plans submitted back in 2021 but they
were not sufficient and that was also a part of the testimony to the Board back in
November 2022. Those same plans were reproduced later after the construction of the
second-floor addition. This case was originated because the second-floor addition was
constructed without a permit. When we were made aware of the construction of the
second-floor addition being built that is when we asked them to get a permit. They failed
to do that and as of today they still have failed to do that.
Chairman Crowson called the meeting to a pause at 6:24 p.m. to address the person
that walked into the hearing. The person was Tanner Moss. Chairman Crowson
informed Mr. Moss that city staff would speak to him after the meeting as that case was
presented earlier in the meeting.
Chairman Crowson called the meeting back into session at 6:26 p.m.
Chairman Crowson asked the Board if they had any questions for the city.

Chairman Caulkins asked Ms. Martinez if$10 a day is the max fee that can be charged.
Ms. Martinez replied yes as the property is homestead exempt.
Chairman Caulkins asked until the fine is satisfied, it will remain a lien on the property, is
that correct. Ms. Martinez replied yes that is correct.
Chairman Wait asked if the city was able to inspect inside the second-floor addition. Ms.
Martinez stated she would defer this question to Chief Building Official Dave Pendley.
Mr. Pendley responded no he didn't. He did visit the property with owner. The owner
took him to around the back but did not let me him inside.
Chairman Wait asked Mr. Pendley if he asked the owner if he could inspect inside. Mr.
Pendley replied that no he didn't specifically ask to inspect the inside as he was waiting
for Mr. Johnson to invite him in.
Chairman Crowson asked Mr. Pendley if the city has retained a warrant to enter the
property. Mr. Pendley replied no.
Chairman Crowson asked Mr. Pendley why a warrant hasn't been retained. Mr. Pendley
replied that is takes action to get a warrant from the Judge and they did not do that.
Chairman Crowson asked but you could have obtained a warrant from the Judge to
enter the property. Mr. Pendley replied technically yes.
Mr. McCary asked Mr. Pendley if the city is asking him to take the whole second floor
addition down or asking him to open a few walls up to inspect it. Mr. Pendley replied no
one wants him to demolish a portion of his house after it has been built but that is
ultimately the end of the road if we can't get in there and there is nothing else we can
do. If he would work with us, we might be able to figure something else out as far as
opening things up. As of today, he hasn't been very cooperative.
Chairman Crowson asked the Board if they had any questions for the city.
Mr. Gist commented that in the photo shown from January 2023, the garage doors look
different. Ms. Gist asked Ms. Martinez if a permit is needed to install new garage doors.
Ms. Martinez replied no unless there are structure changes. Garage doors are usually
just cosmetic.
Mr. Caulkins asked with the potential of the second-floor addition being removed and
resident living in the home and he is worried that they are going to an issue order that
can not be executed. The City has already had issues to getting into the property to
inspect. How would you execute a team to go in and remove the second-floor addition?
Ms. Martinez replied we wouldn't just go in and remove the structure. We would have an
engineer come in and look at it. We would have architects look at it. If we do something
wrong and it compromises the structure well then, the city is liable for those additional
repairs that would be needed.

Mr. Caulkins asked Ms. Martinez if the Board has the authority to order demolition of the
second floor, does the Board have the authority to order Code Enforcement to access
the inside the property to inspect. Ms. Martinez replied no as the property is occupied.
We would go forward with asking a Judge to issue a warrant to enter the property.
Ms. Martinez advised the Board that she doesn't feel comfortable with sending her staff
into an occupied structure. We don't know what is in there. We don't know what firearms
are in the structure or what animals they have on the property. If staff goes in, they are
going in with a warrant and a police escort.
Chairman Crowson asked city staff if they knew who the contractor was that constructed
the second-floor addition. Mr. Pendley replied Mr. Johnson. He has stated many times
he did the construction on the second-floor addition
Chairman Crowson opened the public hearing and asked for anyone wishing to speak
on the item to come forward.
Mr. Brandon Johnson stepped forward. He is the property owner's spouse.
Chairman Crowson swore in Mr. Brandon Johnson.
Mr. Johnson passed out a remodel plan.
Mr. Johnson informed the Board that the awning on the side of the house is about 80%
removed. He has one car left under the awning. He has about a million dollars worth of
cars which is why he did that and he doesn't feel that the city.should tell him where he
can properly store them. It is getting removed and he is coming into compliance with
that.
Mr. Johnson informed the Board that he has provided them with a new design of the
garage. The garage is now going to vault all the way up to the dormer so he can put a
six car lift in there. In his opinion, if he is going to have to pull permits and have a
construction crew, he wants to get the whole project done. The drawings are done and
he has provided the Board a copy of the drawing of the six car lift garage. An engineer
has sealed the whole house with approval. It is up to an engineer standard. The design
he presented is now the new design and stop doing everything especially if he is going
to have to open walls and show plumbing, he might as well already have crew there that
can make those repairs. He has two small children and he and his wife work from home
and as a convenience factor if he is going to have to pull a permit it might as well be for
one and get it all done.
Chairman Crowson informed Mr. Johnson it sounds like you are running a business with
a 6 car lift and you can't run a business from your house. Mr. Johnson responded the 6
car lift will be for his personal cars. He owns very high end cars and wants to store them
on his property. He doesn't want to be told that he needs to buy another property to
store them. In fact, he won't be told that, he can assure Mr. Crowson of that. The lift is in
there to store his cars. He can't store them in a two car garage. This will allow him to
story his 1.25 million dollars worth of cars.
Chairman Crowson asked Mr. Johnson if he is in a Homeowners Association. Mr.
Johnson responded no. He specifically bought a house outside a HOA area.
Substandard Building Board Meeting
February 21, 2023

Mr. Johnson informed the Board the reason the second-floor addition was built as he
has family that lives in Russia and his goal was to get them out. He had a certain
timeframe to do it and the city was dragging their feet on certain things, so he went
ahead and did it. As the end of the day the city has no bearing, an engineer stamp
overrides what the city can do. When it comes to structural, engineer stamp is saying
that the structure is structurally sound and that is what the city wants.
Mr. Cope commented that he is not here to argue whether he will or won't or need to
follow the law. He is not there to access his personality or the way you approach the
Board. We, the Board, are here to do our job and enforce the city ordinances and if can
respect that then we will all get along. Mr. Johnson replied 100 percent. He actually had
the city out and they walked the property to look at some of the buildings. He has done
his part. The City made some comments on the engineering and that is where he turned
the page. He just wants the city to be happy and he wants to be happy and he realize
the city doesn't want the awning on the side. For him to get rid of that and not having to
go out a buy another property, he is not going to let his cars still outside and get hail
damage or the sun to beat it up. He rather stick it inside his garage and that is where he
shifted in if he has to pull a permit then let it be one permit for everything since walls
may have to be opened. If we are going down that route, then lets just finish the house
and if they need a wall open, he will already have guys there that can remove the tile
and open the wall to show the city. If the city wants him to change something he will
have plumbers there to make those changes. He trying to work 100 percent with the city.
He just saying this is the delay because now that he has changed the whole scope of
the drawings and not initially where we were but adding to it and more engineering it will
take based on how that structure will stand.
Chairman Crowson asked Mr. Johnson if had a timeline. Mr. Johnson replied he can't
promise it will be done in 90 days but can guarantee in 30 days that they will be
breaking ground and on the other part we can bring the city in and they can say we need
this wall open and they can get that part done.
Chairman Crowson asked Mr. Johnson if he has allowed the city to access the second-
floor addition to assess it. Mr. Johnson replied no he was never asked. Chairman
Crowson replied did you offer. Mr. Johnson replied he didn't think about as he wasn't
told anything about it when they walked the property. He just looked at it and never
asked to go it inside, but he could go inside. He has no problem with it.
Mr. McCary asked if the new addition gets rid of the dormer. Mr. Johnson replied no. If
you look at the drawing, it just vaults up the ceiling of this garage to put the high lift. Mr.
McCary replied that we are really not here for that but for the second-floor addition
constructed without a permit. The drawing plans are done. The engineering stamp
should be on it about a week.
Chairman Crowson asked the Board if they had any other questions.
Mr. Caulkins asked that it is important that the Boards understands the detail timeline
and it sound like that step one would be for you to go to pull your permit. It sounds like
you are going to have plans ready in about a week, is that correct. Mr. Johnson replied
yes. Mr. Caulkins replied'Is it fair to assume that your plans are to get a permit. Mr.
Johnson replied yes, within 30 days. He wants to break ground in March as his cars are
Substandard Building Board Meeting

costing him $400 a month to store. Mr. Caulkins replied in order to do that the City
requires a plan review which could take a few weeks. Mr. Johnson replied he has
answered most of the city questions on the dormer but the garage throws in another one
but all his questions on the dormer has been addressed but it's just now the garage but
nothing changes except the walls get higher and some of the demo work. Mr. Caulkins
replied he understand but it sounds like the first step is get the permit for the dormer
concurrent with submitting new plans for a new addition. That might we a question for
the city if that is a possible solution and whether they would want you to have two
separate permits since they are two separate structures. Mr. Pendley replied it is easier
to have them together. They would need a plan change, not necessary to start over but
it will need a second review. Before they will approve anything, they need to get
together and it would be best if he invites him into the house and do a quick look around.
Mr, Johnson said yes, but again he wasn't aware since it wasn't brought up at last visit
to the property. He thought it was more important to look at the outside structures but
again he has his email and his phone number and they can get the visit scheduled. It's
not a problem. Mr. Caulkins replied that it is important that Mr. Johnson takes the lead
on this. The city will work with you but we were sitting in this room a few months ago and
since no progress has been made on this and we have a recommendation from the city
as far as what actions to take. He is looking at him at making a serious commitment with
engaging with the city on the quick timeline and allow the city reasonable time for the
review. He also needs to work with the city to let them into the house to inspect the
second-floor addition and any remaining issues on the exterior structures.
Mr. Caulkins asked Mr. Johnson if he could walk him through his timeline. Mr. Johnson
replied that he will reach out in the morning about having Mr. Pendley come inspect the
property but it will problem be the first of next week to lock something reasonable as his
work schedule for this week is set. Once he gets his drawings from engineering, he will
submit it online since he already has an online profile with the city. Once the permit is
issued, he will pay the fees plus there will be additional fees for what they have already
done.
Mr. Crowson commented that is what we are worried about right now is the second-floor
addition not the garage addition. It important to take of the current structure first and
allow Mr. Pendley to go in and inspect and pay the permit fee for this addition and put it
behind you.
Chairman Crowson closed the public hearing.
