V, FURTHER CONSIDERATION CF PRELIMINARY PLAT CF NORTHH I LL ESTATES Mr. Gordon Swift, stated as he explained at the last council meeting, the developer is not asking the City for any money but wants to provide good housing for the City. (Page Six, Regular Meeting, Euless City Council, September 11, 1979) He stated he has a list of items that they would like for the City to consider that would benefit the City and not cause problems in later years. He stated they are requesting a fifty foot radius on cul -de -sacs, elimination of mid - blocks sidewalks, installation of twenty -nine foot residential streets, installation of a residential street on Cheek - Sparger Road, the design standard of streets to be five inches of .1 i.me_stabi_l.ization and five inches of asphalt, eliminating all sidewalks except on major thoroughfares, and reduction of the side yard requirements. He stated the developer w i l l dedicate right -of -way for Cheek - Sparger Road for a future thoroughfare. Mr. Swift stated that the mid -block sidewalks would be a problem to the property owners because a portion of the lots would have to be left unfenced in order to provide space for the sidewalks. He stated this would become unsightly because it would become trashy and would cause a maintenance problem. Mayor Samuels stated this item was not discussed at the work session but is something that can be considered when the final plat i s presented, He stated the Council is usually in agreement with recommendations from the Planning and Zoning Commission. Mayor Samuels stated the Counci 1 , discussed the twenty -nine foot streets at some length and couldn't see a great cost factor, but after discussing the matter with fire and safety personnel, the Council decided that the thirty -one foot street would be better for safety and fire protection. He stated the Council did allow for five inches of lime stabilization and five inches of asphalt if the Texas Highway Department's trixial soil test is made. Mr. Swift presented a plat of two blocks showing the difference if the City allowed for five foot side yards. Mayor Samuels stated the Council reviewed the request and are deferring this to the Planning and Zoning Commission for a public hearing and their recommendation but the Council is recommending, as a guide line, that the side yards not be lower than five foot and eight foot in order to allow enough room for the owner of the house to build a driveway to the back yard. Mr. Swift stated they would like to eliminate all sidewalks except on collector and thoroughfare streets. Mr. Ozebek stated the Council doesn't know where the schools are going to be located in the future and the Counci 1 has been confronted with citizens requesting sidewalks. for the children to walk to school. (Page Seven, Regular Meeting, Euless City Council , September 11, 1979) Mr. Swift stated that builders like to save as many trees as possible on a development and they will have to destroy a number of large trees in order to install sidewalks. Mayor Samuels inquired if it wouldn't be possible to build the sidewalks around the trees and save the trees.. He stated in some of the sidewalks that the City has constructed, we have constructed the sidewalks around these trees. Mr. Joe Howell, U. S. Development Corporation, reviewed the policy for sidewalks in Fort Worth and also reviewed excerpts from "Your Region ", a publication from North Central Texas Council of Governments, regarding the cost of housing. Mr. Hunt stated the City Manager stated that the way the subdivision is laid out there needs to be a collector street on the north boundary of this development. Mr. Sustaire stated the City's Master Plan calls for a collector street on the north boundary of the development. Mr. Swift stated that the staff advised him that since Cheek - Sparger Road was moved north, their development would not require another collector street. Mr. Pippin stated that Cheek - Sparger Road is being designed as a residential street and so there is no collector street in this development. He stated the only east/west streets are the residential streets. Mr. Swift stated that the developer will be feeding traffic onto Fuller -Wiser Road , North Main Street and Cheek - Sparger Road from the residential streets. Mr. Hunt inquired if there could be an agreement that the lots adjacent to North Main Street will not have a driveway onto North Main Street. Mr. Swift stated there will be deed restrictions filed along with the final plat that will prevent any driveways from entering onto North Main Street. Mr. Hunt stated the plat doesn't indicate the location for the water tower and the sewer I i ft station and inquired if this would be a problem. Mr. Swift stated they have worked with the staff and they will omit six lots on the northwest corner of the plat for the water tower and the I ift station is no problem. He stated access to the I ift station will be from Fuller -Wiser Road, (Page Eight, Regular Meeting,Euless Ci_ty Council, September 11, 1979) Mr. Hunt stated the only thing the Council is not clear on is the east /west collector street, He stated they were of the opinion that one would be required along the northern boundary of the development since there is quite a bit of distance between the boundary of this development and Glade Road. Mr. Swift stated he met with the City Manager and Mr. Flynn and discussed the location of Cheek - Sparger Road and they were advised that if it were not located oh the Southern portion of their development they would be required to install another east /west collector street. Mr. Sustaire stated that the devel- opment of Cheek - Sparger Road as a thoroughfare street would have eliminated another collector street but since the Council has allowed the developer to install Cheek - Sparger Road as a residential street, the City needs another collector street somewhere in the northern portion of Euless between Fuller -Wiser Road and North Main Street. Mr. Pippin stated the City's Master Plan reflects a collector street in the vicinity of this devel- opment. Mr. Walker moved to approve the preliminary plat of Northill Estates with the following stipulations - that the location of the water tower and I i ft station be worked on, that there w i l l be no driveways onto North Main Street in accord with the Planning and Zoning Commission, no mid -block sidewalks, and in concurrence with the City Engineer's requirements. Mrs. McCormick seconded the motion. Mr. McFarland stated the motion should be that the plat be approved without mid -block sidewalk require- ments subject to final Council action on the amendment of the ordinance to so provide, Mr. Walker moved that the Sub- division Rules and Regulations be further amended to delete the mid - block sidewalks requirements on blocks exceeding 1,000 feet and that amendment be incorporated into the ordinance previously adopted. Mrs. McCormick seconded the motion. After discussion Mrs. McCormick withdrew her second to Mr. Walker's first motion to approve the plat. Mr. Walker's motion for approval of the preliminary plat died due to lack of a second. Mr. Hunt stated that there should be someway to gain excess to other streets on the blocks that are 1,000 feet or more, and in his opinion it would be a mistake to alter the ordinance and would be an inconvenience to the residents. 227 '(Page Nine, Regular Meeting, Euless City Council, September 11, 1979) .�. The vote on Mr. Walker's motion delete the mid -block sidewalk requirement on blocks exceeding 1 ,000 feet or more is as follows: Ayes: Mr. Walker, Mrs. McCormick and Mr. Ozebek Nays: Messrs. Pippin and Hunt Mayor Samuels declared the motion carried. Mr. Walker moved to approve the preliminary plat subject to location of the water tower and lift station, that there be no driveways onto North Main Street, and in accordance with the City Engineer's recommendations. Mrs. McCormick seconded the motion. Mr. Hunt inquired if the Council was not going to require an east /west collector street in this development. Mr. Walker stated there are four residential streets that run east and west in the development and in his opinion these streets will be sufficient to accodate the traffic from this development. Mr. Pippin stated if a collector street is required north of this development it will be within one - quarter mile of Glade Road. He stated the Council needs to determine if the City needs a collector street in this area and if we don't why require it Mr. Sustaire stated the traffic will not require a collector street but the Master Plan calls for one. Mr. Pippin stated his concern is that the Council may be causing a residential street to become a collector street. Mr. Pippin stated that it seems t h a t Cheek - Sparger w i l l become the collector street. The vote on Mr. Walker's motion to approve the plat is as follows: Ayes: Mr. Walker, Mrs. McCormick, and Mr. Ozebek Nays: Messrs. Hunt and Pippin (ia e Teri, Rep lar fleet i;ng, Euless- .City, CQunci'1, September 11, 1979) VI. FURTHER CONSIDERATION CF PRELIMINARY PLAT CF WOOD HILL ADDITION Mrs. McCormick left the Council table for this item because she is involved in the project and wi l l not participate in the hearing as a councilperson. Mr. David Bagwell, Crow Development Company, reviewed the proposed development. He stated he would I i ke to suggest that the Council consider alleys with less side yard require- ments. Mayor Samuels stated the developer would be losing more land with an alley than with five foot and eight foot side yards, and a concrete alley would be more expensive than it would cost to build a thirty -one foot street. Mr. Bagwell stated they are not requesting the City tb allow the smaller street that is installed in some surrounding cities but they would like a twenty -nine foot street. Mr. Bagwell stated the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of a thirty -seven foot street for Fuller -Wiser Road and North Main Street. Mr. Walker moved to concur with the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission and approve the p r e l i m i n a r y p l a t of W o o d H i l l Addition as submitted and in accor- dance with the City Engineer's letter. Mr. Ozebek seconded the motion and the vote is as follows: Ayes: Messrs. Walker, Ozebek, Pippin, and Hunt Nays: None Mayor Samuels declared the motion carried. Mrs. McCormick returned to the council table. Mayor Samuels left the council room to sign the ordinance, resolution, and other documents regarding the bond sale. VII. PUBLIC HEARING ON RATE INCREASE REQUEST CF LONE STAR GAS COMPANY Mayor Pro Tem McCormick opened the public hearing on a rate increase requested by Lone Star Gas Company and stated the Council would hear from the proponents first and then any opponents. Mrs. McCormick recognized Mr. Terry Irwin, District Manager of Lone Star Gas Company. �dZ (Page Eleven, Regular Meeting, Euless City Council, September 11, 1979) Mr. Irwin stated it is necessary for a rate relief through a rate increase within their Mid - Cities Distribution System. He stated it has been four years since their last rate increase request. He stated he filed the request with the City Secretary on July 26, 1979, with a copy for each council member. He stated the rates of cities in the sytem will be the same to prevent discrimination among the neighboring cities. Mrs. McCormick inquired if there were any proponents; there being noen, she inquired if there were any opponents; there being none, she declared the public hearing closed. Mrs. McCormick stated that the Council, by prior adoption of Resolution No. 460, retained consultants to further study Lone Star's request and under the statute moved the timetable back 120 days. She stated a motion would be in order to table the request pending a report by the consultant. Mr. Walker moved to table the request pending a report by the consultants. Mr. Pippin seconded the motion and the vote is as follows: Ayes: Messrs. Walker, Pippin, Ozebek, Hunt, and Mrs. McCormick Nays: None the motion carried. Mayor Pro Tem McCormick declared VIII.

Mrs. McCormick recognized City Manager W. M. Sustaire. Mr. Sustaire stated this year balancing the budget was a difficult task and because of the problems of inflation the City is no longer able to fund all the projects in the City after this year unless the City has some growth or increased revenue from some source.
