Requested Action: Change in zoning from agricultural (A) to the planned development (PD) class- ification for multi-family and two- family land use. I Purpose: Development of 118 multi-family and 41 two-family units. Location and Size: 14.0734 acres beginning along the east side of Riney Road, adjacent and south of U, S. Highway 77 and north of Old Sanger Road (Windsor Drive) at a point beginning approximately 220 feet east of the intersection of Riney Road and Old Sanger Road. Uxisting Land Use: single family residential, triplex, and agricultural. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North - Single family, agricultural; SF-16, agricultural (A) Northeast - Denton North Apartments, Kingswood (state Apartments, I North Horizons `I'ownhomes (two- family), Institutional, Agri- cultural; PD-8, MV-11 MF-RI. Agricultural (A) South - Single family, vacant; sF-71 SP-10 Last - single family, agricultural, vacant; Agricultural (A), MF-1 West - Single family, vacant, Park- land; Agricultural (A) Denton Development Guide: Area is designated as low intensity. (z,-1576) Paye 2 SPECIAL iNVORIMATION Public Utilities; Adequate water, sewerr electrioal, telephone and yas service is available tot extension to this site. Transportation Systems; This property has approximately 11700 feet of frontage along piney Roadr an unimproved collector. The developer will be responsible for providing appropriate right-of-way and 17 feet of pavement, curb and gutter it plat- ting occurs. A 45--50 foot portion of this tract fronts Windsor Drive (Old Sanger Road) at a point beginning approximately 220 feet east of the intersection of Riney and Old Sanger Road. Windsor Drive street improvements are Underway and completion of the project. is expected in approximately ten (10) weeks, The concept plan shows a single curb cut and entrance to the site from Windsor. Windsor is designated as a seconda~:;' major arterial by the approved thor- oughfare plait. U. S. Highway 77 is a primary major arterial that is maintained by the Hiyhway Department. This site has approximately 970 feet of frontage along Highway 77, One entrance is proposed off Highway 77 to serve the proposed development. Two drivewals presently exist to serve the triple and single family residence. 't'raffic; The traffic engineer reports that this development will generate approxi- mately 11000 vehicle trips per day. He continues his report by stating that peak hours inclusive, this dev l - opment will. not exceed the capacity of affectea street systems. Additional information on dumpster locations, (G-1576) Page 3 SPECIAL INFORMATION CONT1NUED 111raffic (Con It i parking and internal circulation is provided in the attached report (at- tachment 03). Drainage= Adequate as proposed. However, future higher intensity development could present downstream drainage problems unless the overall area low intensity standard is strictly followed. ANALYSIS it is the overall policy of the Denton Development Guide that apartments be dispersed throughout the city, but high concentra- tion in any one area is strongly discouraged. The Development Guide further recommends that specific conditions be considered when evaluating requests for multi-family development in low intensity areas. 'she Planning and zoning Commission heard testimony from several cir,izens expressing interest in this development at its meeting of April 27, 1983. 't'here was some fundamental opposition to multi-family land use at this site, but tho majority of the comments were related to drainage concerns and the condition of Riney Road. The engineering department advised the developer of potential drainage problems in the area very early in the devel- opment review process. The developers agreed to lower the den- sity of their original proposal when concern over the possi- bility of negatively impacting the new Northridge drainage system was expressed. tensity is now considered acceptable from a drainage point, of view and specific plans for handling the run off from this development must be r.riewed ill conjunction with the platting process if the zoning is approved. (line; Road abuts this tract to the west. Kiney !toad is an un- improved road with no official right-of--way dedication. (The legal department has ruled that the exist,'.ng gravel road, ap- proxircLately 27 Leet of width, is a public road nonetheless because of its use by the public for many years.) Riney Road is desiynated as a collector street by the approved thoroughfare and collector street plan. Sixty feet (60) feet of right-of-way and 41 - 45 feet of pavement is required for collectors. The subdivision reyulations would become applicable if zoning is approved at this site, thus, thirty (30) feet of right-of-way Land improvements to one-half of Riney Road would be required it development occurs. (Z-1576) Rage A kNAUSIS CONTINUED It is significant to note a Planning and Zoning Commission recommended condition requiring the developer of this tract to provide adequate right-of-way and improvements to the entire east one-half of Riney Road from Windsor Drive to U. S. Highway 77. There are two properties that are not controlled by the prospective developers at the southern and northern tip of the area on the concept plan. Staff and tho Planning and Zoning Commission feel that the developer should be responsible for acquiring any additional right-of-way, and making the recom- mended improvements to Riney because this developaient could become a significant intensity generator. Normal subdivision requirements obligate developers to improve one-half of any roaa or street abutting property being platted along the frontage of the subject site only. However, this is a request for planned development (PD) zoning and Article 11, Section C of the zonin~l ordinance provides that in approving a planned development (PD) district the City Council may impose conditions relative to the standard of development. Article 11, Sect=ion S further provlcie's that the required site plan for PD zoning shall set forth re- quirements for ingress-egress, public or private streets or drives with adequate right-ot-way to conform to the thoroughfare plan of the City of Denton, sidewalks, utilities parking space and other development and protective requirements con- sidered necessary to create a reasonable transition to and protection of the aojacent property. Interest in an assess- ment paving program for the west side of Riney Road was also expressed by some citizens during the Planning and Zoning Commission public hearing. RECOMMENDATION The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval of Z-1576 by a vote of 5-1 with the following conditions: 1. A six (6) foot wooden fence or six (6) foot living screen De erected on all property lines abutting single family uses. 2. Riney shall be improved from Windsor Drive to Highway 77 in accordance with all standard City of Denton requirements prior to issuance of building permits. 3.

This is the petition of Lewis Cook requesting a change in zoning from agricultural (A) to the planne.i development (PU) classification on a 14.0734 acre tract beginning along the east side of Riney Road, adjacent and south of U. S. Highway 77, and approximately 200 feet north of Old Sanger Road (Windsor Drive). If approved, the planned development (PD) would permit the construction of 24 duplex units and 150 multi-family units. (A revised site plan submitted after notice was mailea to adjoining property owners reflects 41 duplex units and 118 multi-family units.) Mr. Ellison explained this petition was scheduled at last meeting but was withdrawn by petitioner, and modi- fications have been made since that time. He said the original proposal had 150 multi-family units and 24 two- family units; that has beets changed to 118 multi-family units and 41 auplex units now proposed. lie stated 27 reply forms were mailed to property owners; 3 were received in favor, 1 was received in favor condition- ally, and 6 were received in opposition. Ile said we also have a petition with 91 signatures and would like to point out that a number of the signatures are as far away as Kingston Trace Addition. Mrs. Melvin Dane, who lives on Sanger Road, stated she thinks the city is wrong in limiting to 200 feet from such a zoning change as this because of traffic and the effect it will have on everybody. P & z Minutes April 27, 1983 Page 5 Jay wimmer► associated with the building enil of develop- ment, stated they had planned many more units but have reduced the number originally planned. fie explained request saying they are trying to use the best use com- bining multi-family subdivision along with single family type building. He said the units marked "'P" are two- story (there are three), with a loft bedroom. He said he has spoke with some of the property owners in the area, and a lot of the concerns seem to be related to what will happen to Riney Road. The plans for Riney Road are eventually to be a 45' street built on 60' right-of-way. He said they, being the developer, will pay for 17 Feet of right-of-way ano city will provide for 17 feet so that none of the property owners will. be effected by it. Mr. Barrow said they have spoke to property owners about this, and the feeling was they would gladly give some land to get Riney paved as long as it does not take the whole front yard. He said the traffic will be minimized due to the entrances and exits that have been provided. Mr, Barrow explained density has been decreased so that drainage will be handled by the drainage system that is already in place. tie said they plan to develop in phases. Mr, Pranklyn Daniel, who lives across Riney Road, spoke in favor saying he feels this would be the best use for the property and would improve the neighborhood. Melvin Dane, lives in southeast corner, spoke in opposi- tion. Ile said he does not want two-story :ln there and is very concerned about the water.. Mr. Headley, who lives south of Sanger Road, stated he feels the drainage and street problems should be worked out before approving the requeaL. Mr. Ralph Cordley, who lives across from M~. McDaniel, spoke in opposition stating he does not wait to lose half his front, yard, and his main objection is the traffic. He said the traffic is already b.Ad. Mr. Ellison explains report stating the surrounding land ,ise and that the development guide classifies this as low intensity. Pie said MP-1 allows 25 to QO apartments, which averages to 11.2 units per acre. He said in re- gard to traffic Sanger Road, Riney Road, and Windsor all P & z Minutes April 271 1983 Page 6 have adequate capacity to serve this development. He said when pek:itioner was advised of drainage problems they withdrew the petition and worked with the problem. Staff feels Rine yy should be developed from Windsor to Highway 77. Highwr,y 77 is a primary arterial, Riney is a collector street, and Windsor is a secondary major arterial. Mr. Sidor asked if Riney Road has 60' right-of-way now. Mr. Ellison replied no it is 30'1 it has not been dedi- cated. Mr. Ellison said there is some multi-family zoning that has not been developed. He Baia he doe: not feel like this would be causing too much more multi-family zoning in this area. Staff recommends approval with conditions. Jerry Clark, Senior Civil Engineer, spoke in regard to the drainage issue, lie said we recently completed the design of the Northridge drainage system in this area, He said water collects in the low point which is to the east of where the Dane's liver is is brought down through the Northridge Subdivision down past Headley Lane and out through a channel there. There are various collection systems down through there. When we designed that system we used a run off coefficient of 6/10 which meant we did not expect this to be a real high density apartment complex area. The developer has worked with us to insure that the run off for this area coming to this site will be taken care of. Jay Wimmer reiterated what was stated earlier.z Also that Riney is actually 39' wide. Chairman closed public hearing. Commission deliberates. Dlr. Juren moved to recommend approval with the following conditions: 1. Six (6) foot wooden fence or six (6) foot living screen be erected on all property lines abutting single family uses. 2. Three (3) units designated at present as "T" be changed to two (2) units designated as "l)". P z Minutes April 27, 1983 Page 7 3. Riney shall be improved from Windsor Drive to Highway 77 in accordance with all standard City of Denton requirements prior to issuance of building permits, 4.

(5-1) Commission takes short recess. C. L-1577. Thief is the petition of W. Dale Hester re- questing a change in zoning from single family (SF'-7) to the planned development (PD) classification on a parcel approximately 2.25 acres in size. The property is located at 1301 Bernard Street which begins along the east side of Bernard approximately 700 feet south of the intersection of Bernard and Collins. If approved, the planned development would permit the construction of eight (8) four-plex structures or 32 multi-family units. Mr. Bllison explained 12 reply forms were mailed to property owners= 2 were received in favor and 2 were received in opposition. Mr. Dale Hester, petitioner, explained request stating they are asking for a zoning change of PD development. He said they are proposing 8 fourplex units. There are 32 units total, 2 1/4 units per lot which will have a density of 14 units per acre. He said given the size he feels this is the best use for the area. From a land- scaping point will have a pleasurable site. Also there is a six (6) toot fence and patio enclosure for each unit proposed. He said he felt like traffic is not a major issue here because it would not be a problem. He further explained their goal is to blend in with what is already there; would like to eventually turn into owner occupied condominiums. ALMURANDUM Date: May 17, 1983 1110: Mayor and City Council From: David Ellison, Development Review Planner Re: H-164 (Center Point Mobile Home Park) The City Council tabled ,5-164 at its meeting of February It 198: for purposes of studying possible changes to the Mobile Home Paci; and Travel Trailer Urdinance. When originally considered, the developer was requesting a variance of the ordinance requiremenr dealing with construction specific,A.ions for i.nterna,l streets. Final staff recommendations on prc,,osed changes in mobile home park development standards are berg finalized but the developer has advised staff that he is willing to comply with the existirn, requirements as opposed to waiti,Ny for any possible changes. Attached please find backup submitted for the February 1, 1983 public hearing. The Development Review Committee (uRC) nas reviewed a revised concept plan that appears acceptable for zoning purposes.

ANALYSIS The existing Center Point Mobile Home Park is reportedly the first, and only, Denton mobile home park development that was built in compliance with the Mobile Home Park and Travel Trailer Orainance. The Mobile Home Park and 't'ravel Trailer Ordinance was approved on June 6, 1970. Mobile homes and mobile home park (~-16A) Page 5 ANALYSIS CONTINUED developments have changed in structure and in image in recent years, and staff responds to daily inquiries from individuals and developers that are interested in locating mobile home(s) in the City of Denton ana its extra-territorial jurisdiction areas (uTJ - 2 miles outside City limits). Where is no escapin-j the fact that mobile, modular or manufac- tured housing has become an alternative for many home buyers who cannot afford conventional residences, and this increasing trend has been embraced by courts, legislators and decision makers at several levels of government. The "transient" image of mobile homes and nobile home owners still exists in many communities, and there are legitimate concerns about fire safety, wind safe- ty, inspection procedures and other structural factorsl however, some traditional tears and objections have been relieved in re- cent years, There is an abundance of information, literature, studies and statistics which support pronauncements that mobile hoines ultimately serve as permanent residences a vast majority of the titine, and in some instances, the quality of the mobile homes is such that they are not distinguishable from traditional housing. There is little doubt that the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council will soon witness a substant.xal increase in the number of zoning and subdivision petitions in- volving mobile homes, The proposal for the expansion of the existing Center. Point mobile Dome Park is considered reasonable inasmuch as there a;e several industrial, commercial and non-conforming mobile home uses presently surrounding this site. RECOMMENDATION The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval of s-164 with the following conditions by a vote of 7-0. 1. Plans for development and the development itself shall conform with the Mobile Home Park and Travel Trailer Ordinance and subdivision regulations of the City of Denton prior to issuance of building permits and certificates of occupancy, 2.

Very truly yours, Thompson & Knight RLJ:mak Enclosures ACCEPTED BY: t April 14, 1983 FOSTER REPORT NO. 1410 - P? Senator Johnston and Rep Sharp indicate Possibility of No Natural Gas Legislation This Year On 4/11/83 Senator Bennett Johnston (D-La.) and Rep, Philip Sharp (D-Ind,) spoke at a conference in New Orleans, Louisiana, sponsored by Inside F,E,R.C „ on the prospects for natural gas legislation. Senator Johnston is the ranking minority member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, while Rep, Sharp Is the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Fossil and Synthetic Fuels, Houoe Energy Committee. Both inferred that there may well be no legislation, and that any bill which may :>e passed will be considerably different from the proposal drafted by tha Administration (S. 615 and H.R. 1760). Senator Johnston said the Senate Energy Committee which recently completed eight days of hearings on the Administration bill and other bills is "rife with, confusion" and is not really ready to mark up a bill because its members have not yet reached their own conclusions. He believed that the Committee should deal first with the gas cap and passthrough limitation provisions of the Administration bill which are almost universally opposed and then "let the pot boll for a while" to find out where the votes are, At this time, he stat,*d that there are insufficient votes in the Committee to report out the Administration's proposal in its present form, Describing various sets of "players" in the debate over the Administration bill, Senator Johnston assessed the consumers as the most powerful or."king" primarily because they are so numerous, even though often "confused and ignorant" of their own interests. Consumers are opposed to decontrol of old gas prices, he noted, and if this provision sur•iives Committee markup, it would be very difficult to get the 60 votes needed to bruak the filibuster promised by Senator Metzertbaum. The second group of players independent producers are very active politically and ideologically very much in favor of deregulation, Senator Johnson continued. However, since the gas cap and passthrough limitation provisions appear to them as prise rollbacks rather than deregulation, most independents wi!.1 probably take a "wait and see" attitude pending the outcome of Congressional action to fix these provisions. Third, the majors were described as very powerful with the Administra- tion but much less powerful with Congress. They can scarcely disguise their enthusiasm for decontrol of Section 104 gas, Senator Johnston stated. Finally, he characterized all the remaining players interstate pipelines, intrastate pipe- lines, distributors, end users, etc. as strongly In favor of certain provisions of the Administration bill but strongly opposed to others, especially deregulation of old gas (with the possible exception of intrastate pipelines), in short, Senator ,Johnston declared, there is a far greater split of interests among the players than In 1977-1176 prior to passage of the NGPA, The two major :sides the suppliers of gas and consumers of gas are both "scared tQ death," Senator Johnston added. The suppliers fear freezes, rollbacks, elimination of take-or-pay provisions and bad legislation, while consumers are afraid of higher prices. "Neither side will be able to impose its will on the other." It may be possible to work out a compromise, but the major problem is deregulation of Section 104 gas, if the independents oppose old gas deregulation, he predicted that provision is dead. On the other hand, if independents support decontrol of Section 104 gays, they have a "fighting chance" of success an "uphill battle." At the same time, Senator Johnston observed, if history teaches any lessons, there } are three lessons to be learned from the NGPA experience: (1) a bill will not pass in 1983 (2) any bill may well collapse before it is finally put together April 14, 1983 FOSTER REPORT NO. 1410 - P3 this is what happened with the NGPA, the final version of which was written almost entirely in the conference committees and (3) any bill will not pass as drafted by + the Administration but will be amended. Senator Johnston further asserted that, in terms of the severity of the present problems, the situation today is not as bad as it was prior to passage of the NGPA when something had to be done to stimulate supply, Now, there are some "high visibility" problems such as high take-or-pay requirements and most favored nation clauses, but many of these problems are being resolved through renegotiation. on the other hand, some problems have yet to arise if nothing is done, including the potential for serious shortages in intrastate markets and the prospect of much higher unit costs to residential consumers resulting from further losses of indus- trial load. Rep. Sharp similarly stressed the uncertainty in forecasting what Congress will do in the area of natural gas legislation. He particularly emphasized there is no assurance of any final decision by this coming full, a desirable target date both in terms of legislation having any impact on residential consumers next winter and providing certainty to the industry. Further, he said, there is a major risk of nothing happening. Only once in 45 years since passage of the Natural Gas Act has a majority in both Houses of. Congress been able to pass a piece of legislation acceptable to the President. Today, the issues are very divisive and, since no test votes have occurred as yet, it is difficult to speculate what provisions might have sufficient support for passage. Rep, Sharp hoped the House will move expeditiously, but again cited the difficulty of forging a majority on so many divisive issues. Also, "when we tinker and redesign," the result may merely be to "create a new set of problems." Congress is now trying to assess what those prob- i lems might be. At another poirit, Rep. Sharp noted the distinct possibility of an "acknowledged stalemate" on broad pricing issues. He considered it more likely that Congress might address some narrower issues such as the so-called contract problems (very high take-or-pay requirements and most favored nation escalation clauses) and expansion of FERC's authority under NGPA Section 601 to include some kind of pruriency test for reviewing pipeline gas purchase costs if it acts on anything at all, At the moment, Rep. Sharp said the focus is still on efforts to achieve some kind of "grand proposal." Presumably, the next several weeks will provide some indication of whether a comprehensive approach is possible, or whether efforts will shift to working out some fixes for particular problems but otherwise letting the NGPA run its course, Also, he added, it should be known by fall whether any legislation is possible at all. Mr. Sharp said his Subcommittee plans two more weeks of hearings to explore parti- cular issues in greater detail, to be followed by thorough discussion among Subcommittee members before any attempt to mark up a bill. Regarding particular legislative provisions, Rep. Sharp declined to speculate on likely areas of compromise or to reveal his own preferences. However, he offered cortain observations, First, he said, the major question in the House is not whether old gas should be decontrolled, but whether controls on new gas should be extended or tightened, Sharp stated that some find it hard to buy DOE's argam ent that old gas deregulation will lower gas prices. Another major problem with old gas decontrol is a reduction of incentive for the finding of genuinely new gas supplies, While it is possible that recovery of old gas might be increased with higher prices, the question remains whether the shift of incentives would produce the most "bang for the buck." April 14, 1983 FOSTER REPORT NO. 1410 - p4 Second, Rep. Sharp noted, there is considerable interest in Congress in provisions of the Administration bill mandating contract carriage by pipelines, assuming available capacity. This interest stems from..concern that pipelines lack economic t incentive to protect consumers, that pipelines are more shielded from present market risks than consumers and producers, and that the FERC lacks ability to bring about greater pipeline accountability with respect to system costs. However, he asserted, mandatory contract carriage would entail a considerable restructuring of the industry, and no one is sure how this would turn out. Among other things, there are fears that this proposal would not only lead to "cream skimming" out also would be unworkable without overriding certain authorities of state.public utility commissions. Also, the proposal could not; work without sufficient FERC resources and will. sharp added that a further step beyond a contract carrier requirement to "common carriage" was "probably not in the cards." As the Secretary of Energy indicated, this would be "more than anybody can chew." With respect to imports, Rep. Sharp said the abrogation of contracts raises real concern over long-term relationships, especially with Canada. However, in the absence of Congressional action, he contended that both ERA and FERC appear to have authority to take some action to alleviate problems created by high priced imports. specifically, Sharp suggested that the two agencies could probably establish volumetric restrictions under existing authority. Finally, Rep. Sharp emphasized that major changes are presently occurring in the marketplace. For example, compared with talk last summer about a f.lyup in gas prices in 1985 due to the underpricing of gas relative to oil, the talk today focuses on the ability of gas to meet competition from No. 6 fuel oil (and perhaps No. 2 fuel oil on some systems). This makes legislation all the more difficult because circumstances are changing so fast. Sharp also called attention to con- siderable innovation In responding to current market problems within the context of the NGPA, For example, conservative law firms are now advocating "the hell with contracts" as force majeure clauses are suddenly becoming a great new force to some (an "outrage" to others). In short, many people are "innovatively and creatively" doing something about their problems under the current NGPA structure. Sharp added that parties should not delay renegotiation of contracts pending Congressional action. Adjustments in many producer/pipeline contracts are absolutely necessary by one means or another. Some pipelines and distributors now question how they can survive financially without breaking contractual oblik)ations. It is unlikely, Sharp stated, that Congress will come up with a more favorable solution than the parties can themselves achieve through renegotiation. Asked about the possibility of a windfall profits tax, Sharp said his Subcommittee has no authority to consider any such provision because it has no jurisdiction over taxes. However, such a tax could emerge as a live possibility down the road in the event of old gas decontrol. At the same time, Sharp doubted whether there is the same kind of pressure for a windfall profits tax as existed at the time of oil price decontrol. Another speaker to address the conference was Clarence J. Brown, presently a Senior Fellow with the American Enterprise institute and formerly ranking minority member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. (Mr, Brown resigned from the House last year to run, unsuccessfully, for Governor of Ohio.) He maintained that natural gas markets are headed for collapse unless present controls are removed. However, he stated, more is needed than wellhead decontrol because of the monopsony power of pipelines, Specifically, to move toward the goal of free markets, Brown urged serious attention to contract carrier requirements for pipelines. He said he introduced such a proposal in the last session of Congress, and the Administration picked up the same idea. Brown noted that Congress has taken steps toward deregula- tion in other industries (e.g., airlines and trucks) because of recognition that government intervention is not the answer. April 14, 1983 FOSTER REPORT NO, 1410 - pll Martin was entirely optimistic about supply prospects under a total decontrol scenario such as the Administration proposal, At appropriate price levels, old or t abandoned reservoirs can be made to produce more gas if enhancement techniques are used. Another point to consider, Martin continued, is the well location. The NGPA does not now give enough recognition to the fact that some wells are not drilled in the optimum location, Finally, wells which produce old gas will become uneconomic more quickly under continued low price regulation than under decontrol, Martin added. House Energy Subcommittee Holds Hearing on Contract Carriage Provisions in Pending Natural Gas Legislation The House Subcommittee on Fossil and Synthetic Fuels on 4/12/83 considered testi- mony on contract carriage proposals in pending gas legislation before Congress. ,In general, these proposals would require pipelines to provide transportation as contract carriers under certain conditions. The witnesses appearing before Pop. Philip Sharp's Subcommittee included Rolland Kidder, Executive Assistant for Envirogas, incl= William Ryan, President of South Jersey Gas Co.i Othol White, Vice President of Regulatory Affairs for Northern Natural Gas Co.J H. E. Uhland, Vice President of Lithium Cor of and Milton Russell with Resources for the Future. Among the supporters of contract carrier legislation was Kidder, who represented a small independent oil and gas drilling operation in the Appalachian Basin of the Northeast U.S. He argued that a small producer like himself could provide cheap gas if he was not locked out by pipelines selling their own gas at high prices. Uhland, as a user of natural gas, contended that contract carriage laws would per- mit industrial users to purchase their own gas supplies for the purpose of reducing / overall gas costs, thereby reating downward pressure on gas prices and providing additional incentives for pipelines and distributors to lower their gas acquisi- tion costs, Russell o,rgueO for legislations that would open up the gas market to more participants because it would make it easier for gas prices to move down, allow and encourage greater integration of the various parties into the gas market- ing system, and would create a national gas market. White of Northern Natural did not directly oppose a more flexible plan to provide greater end-user access to wellhead gas supplies, but he pointed out that a lack of freer carriage "is not because the regulator or pipeline is unaware of the need or the propriety of the action needed, but rather , . , occurs because of provisions in the Natural Gas Act," Ryan, on the other hand, bluntly rejected the principles of common carrier status for pipelines 'oecauso it would adversely impact supply on a regional basis, direct volumes to the market which is able to pay the highest price and bring a multitude of unregulated buyers into the interstate gas market, . Among the bills which contain some form of common carriage or contract carrier provision aret Heinz (S. 689) and Addabbo (H.R. 1752); Administration (S. 615 and H.R. 1760)1 Michel (H.R. 4)1 Bedell (H.R. 2054) Schroeder (H.R. 2182)) and Gephardt (H.R. 2154). A Corcoran/Dixon bill generally incorporating the Illinois Commerce Commission's "Consumer Access Plan" has yet to be introdur.ed. (S.:a REPORT N0. 1408, p4.) C Except for the Illinois Commerce Commission proposal which would convert interstate pipelines to common carrier status, the other bills would require pipelines to per- form only as contract carriers, subject to various conditions. April 14, 1983 FOSTER REPORT NO. 1410 • p12 Kidder urged the Subcommittee members to include a "contract carrier" provision in pending legislation rather than demand that pipelines become "common carriers," Pipelines should be allowed to continue to buy and move gas as long as adequate provision is made for movement of the gas of small independents, He proposed a system whereby each pipeline would apply to FERC for a tariff' to move gas for others. After allowing adequate time for public comment., and if approval were granted, producers and end users would pay the transportation charge. He suggested that this method would be simpler than requiring the Commission tc review each contract between producer and pipeline, Pipelines would benefit as they transport the gas of others in conjunction with movement of their own gas, Further, Kidder added, industrial customers would have greater competitive leverage in buying gas, and residential consumers would indirectly benefit from contract carriage since the pipeline coul,i make up otherwise lost revenues (and higher fixed costs) due to fuel switching. Accompanying Kidder before the Subcommittee was New York Congressman Stan Lundine who told the panel that locally produced gas in his district was sold below the NGPA price and much below the average pipeline price being paid by local dis- tribution companies, "Yet, these producers cannot bring their gas to the market because they cannot transport it, Hundreds of wells in Appalachia are currently shut-in .for lack of transportation," Lundine said. He would support at least a minimum contract carrier provision that would require a pipeline to transport the gas of others if it had capacity. Milton Russell is a Senior Fellow at Resources for the Future and Director of its Center for Energy Policy Research, He observed that cheap gas for consumers and new markets for shut-in producers, predicted to occur from widened access to gas supplies, are in part illusory and in part transitory, "and therefore the benefits from this legislation should not be oversold," However, he would encourage contract carriage by giving pipelines a financial incentive to move gas for others, including a provision for mandatory transportation of gas under some circumstances, Contract carriage could be integrated into the current system with a minimum of disruptive charfge. Furthermore, the reliability of gas service at the citygate would not be imperiled by relaxing the traditional pipeline role as dominant buyer in the field and as sole supplier. Long-term contracts and rigid ties from the wellhead to the burner tip are not necessary to supply security when the commodity is free to flow to the highest bidder, Russell said, But, he added, one problem which must be faced is the possibility of future curtailment that would affect some parties more than others. Responding to a question from Rep. Doug Walgren (D-Pa.), Russell affirmed that the least needy consumers would presumably be curtailed first in the event of limited capacity on a pipelino, but that new ways have to be found to allocate priorities for gas under an open market system, such as special price incentives for interruptible contracts. Uhland, on the other hand, warned that allocation problems must be avoided in future legislation. Rather, he asked that specific conditions causing transpor- tation interruptions be reviewed and approved by the Commission first. "in the past, too much discretion has been accorded to the pipelines in this regard." Other recommendations made by Uhland werec (1) construction of new facilities should not be required of a pipeline, Gxcept incidental transportation facilities such as taps and meters (2) all uncommitted gas of producers should be available for contract carriage without restrictionst (3) the Commission should lift restric- tions on the type of purchaser, and use of gas, and quantities of gas applicable to such end users and (4) contract carriage authorization should be for a period of time coincident with that of the gas purchase agreement, 1 April 14, 1983 FOSTER REPORT NO. 1410 - p13 The delay in the gas industry's response to market forces is a result of heavy { r'agulatory burdens and obstacles imposed by the Natural Gas Act, Othol White testi- fled, "If there is serious Interest to change the way the natural gas industry functions, then attention must be directed at that Act, not at the participants who must operate by the current regulations, and not at the regulators who are simply carrying out their duty as required by law." He predicted chaos would result from a massive structural change such as removing pipelines from their role as gas buyer and transporter. Though the goal of adequate price protection might be reached, an inequitable situation could develop for many consumers of gas who cannot effectively compete for the gas supply or provide for the seasonal swings in demand, Northern Natural recommended two amendments to the Natural Gas Act as a solution to gas access problems. First, lengthy adversarial proceedings to obtain certifi- cation of transportation and sales must be shortened. This could best be done by modifying Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act to enable such activities on a self- implementing basis, with appropriate reporting to the FERC. Second, to create maximum flexibility within the system, White suggested elimination of Sections 4 and 5, and substitution instead of a post-Implementation rate review procedure under which a party to a gas transportation or sale agreement would be given the right to show that the rate charged by the pipeline was unfair or inequitable, or had no reasonable relationship to the fair market value of the service rendered. "Pipelines operating under the new law would be more exposed to market forces and would be driven by efficiency and cost minimization," the witness suggested. Rep. Corcoran described White's testimony as a "rather progressive approach and attitude" for accomplishing more flexible contract carriage responsibility on the part of pipelines. Under current law, White said, it takes anywhere between one ` to two years to get through the adversarial process, and there is no way these can be expedited as the law stands. He indicated that Northern had spent a great deal of time looking at various ways to free up the market. Changes at the federal level may also bring more cooperation from the public utility commissions at the state level, which is not evident now, he said. "South Jersey Gas Co. believes that common carrier status for interstate natural gas pipelines is not a desirable objective and petitions for elimination of this concept from all proposals dealing with natural gas," William Ryan told the Subcommittee. Pipelines today, he continued, carry gas for others on a contract basis after consideration of their available capacity and their gas acquisition objectives. Under common carriage, however, the service must be given only after consideration of capacity. Under some forms of legislation, the transportation premium (such as 5¢/MMBtu) would create an earnings incentive for pipelines to neglect the responsibility of securing at marketable prices the gas supply needed by the ultimate consumer. In short, common carrier status endangers long-term contracts and supply acquisition activities of pipelines that are vital to the financial integrity of distribution companies. Distribution companies have neither the personnel nor the capital to replace the large portions of their current pipe- line's supply if such legislation were passed, Ryan argued. In summary, "South Jersey Gas Co. believes that a producer should not be allowed the option of selecting the market which can bear the highest cost at the wellhead but rather feels that producers should bear the same market risk as distributors and pipe- lines." C April 14, 1983 FOSTER REPORT NO. 1410 - p23 Janesviller Wisconsin. Northern would construct additional pipeline loop and compression facilities, at an estimated cost of $68,4 million, in order to provide this transportation. The rates for transportation consisting of a monthly demand charge for firm service up to contract limits and a commodity rate charge for any overrun volumes transported would be designed to cover the fixed incre- mental cost of the proposed facilities plus the cost of using any required existing facilities. Michigan Wisconsin (CP83-183-000) requested a certificate to transport up to 75,625 Mcf/d received from Northern Natural at Janesville for the account of Tennessee and Transco, and to deliver Transco's share (34,375 Mcf/d) in Acadia Parish, Louisiana and Tennessee's share (41,250 Mcf/d) to Midwestern Gas Transmission Co. in Joliet, Illinois for Tennessee's account. For this transportation, Transco would pay a monthly demand charge of $3,89/Mof and Tennessee a monthly demand charge of $4.31/Mcf. Michigan Wisconsin would be required to construct about 37.5 miles of 20-inch pipeline loop at an estimated cost of $21,9 million. Consolidated Invokes Force Majeurs Clauses to Suspend Minimum Bill Payments to Pipeline Suppliers On 4/1/83 Consolidated Gas Supply Corp, notified its four pipeline suppliers Texas Eastern Transmission Corp., Texas Gas Transmission Corp., Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co. and Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corp. of invocation of force ma eure provisions so as to puspen& payments under the minimum bill provisions of their rate schedules. Consolidated will reduce purchases from each of its pipeline suppliers below minimum bill amounts on a ratable basis, However, Consolidated intends to pay any non-gas fixed costs associated with minimum bill volumes that 1 were not taken, subject to required regulatory approval if any. l Consolidated justified invocation of the force ma eure clauses on the basis of record warm temperatures (beyond the company's control) in its market areas during virtually the entire recent heating season. As a result, Consolidated's top stor- age gas turnover was only 608 of th0-. planned for the 1982-1983 winter, Lo oking ahead, Consolidated foresees no significant recovery in demand for gas in its mar- ket areas due to the continuing effects of the deep economic recession and increased conservation practices by conriumers. Accordingly, without a re~_4uction in deliveries from suppliers during the storage injection season, consolidated would be forced to attempt to accept volumes well above both physical and certifi- cated storage field capacity. In addition, Consolidated advised that it will reduce volumes of gas it paoduces and purchases in the Appalachian area, as well as purchases in South Louisiana. Further, Consolidated is encouraging customers with more than one supplier to increase quantities purchased from Consolidated if such increase provides benefits to their customers. As a precautionary measure, Consolidated (RP83-72-000) submitted a filing on 4/8/83 to the FERC in order to assure recovery through its PGA mechanism of all amounts paid to pipeline suppliers under minimum bill provisions of their tariffs. Citing an FERC order dated 3/31/82 which specifically approved inclusion in'Accciint 803 of costs incurred by Mississippi River Transmission Corp, (RP82-48-000) under pipeline suppliers' minimum bill provisions and recovery thereof through PGA filings, Consolidated said it clearly could recover full minimum commodity bills in the same manner absent the condition of force ma eure. It is Consolidated's belief that payments of less than the full minimum commodity bill (i,e., the nor.-gas fixed cost component of the rate for volumes that are taken at less than minimum April 141 1983 FOSTER REPORT NO. 1410 - p24 bill levels) are likewise fully reooverable, even though the entire minimum bil.1 provisioner are properly suspended for force ma eure reasons. Nenoe, the purpose of the instant filing is merely to confirm Consolidated's right to recover any amounts paid to its pipeline suppliers pursuant to their FERC gas tariffs during r faros maie,url or any other condition. Consolidated is the second pipeline in April to invoke force ma eure contract pro- visions so as to reduce gas purchases. On 4/5/83 Columbia Gas 't'ransmission Coep, exercised fo. roe ma eure clauses so as to implement across-the-board, pro rata cutbacks in purchases under all producer contracts, Columbia said it expected to take only about 50% of normal delivery volumes, in support, Columbia cited abrjor- mally warm weather this past winter and the loss of sales due to the economic recession both factors claimed to be completely beyond the company's control. Columbia also informed Its Southwest producer suppliers that It would pay no more than 110% of the No, 2 fuel oil price for deregulated gas under existing contracts, This new oiW ing is lower than prices currently being paid under many of the crmt- pany's contracts for Section 107 gas. (See REPORT NO. 1409, ppl7-18.) Transco Files q'ettlement Proposal Including'Proportionate Gas Purchase Reduction Policy and F.x rimentral "Industrial Sales Program" to Avoid Fuel Switching on 4/13/83 Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corp, (RP83-11-000 and RP83-30-000) sub- mitted a settlement offer establishing rates to be effective from 4/22/83 until at least 3/31,184. The settlement rates provide for a 40 decrease below currently effective rates (as opposed to a 12¢ increase originally requested). In addition, the settlement agreement contains certain novel features designed to reduce Transco's gas purchase costs and maintain historical levels of throughput. Transco's RP83-11 filing proposed an Increase of $117 million annually based pri- marily on a projected decline in sales volume, a 19,58 rate of return on equity (comprising 34.6% of capital structure), inclusion of $225 million of prepaymem is in the rate base, and higher operating and maintenance expenses. l/ Expedited hearings were ordered on rate of return, sales volume and certain other issues in an attempt: to reach a decision on m&jor dollar items before 4/22/83 aphen the p,co- posed rates may be place.-d in effect subject to refund. Active settlement negoti- ations were pursued over at least they past two months. In RP83-30, Transco pck:- posed an increase in rates for gathering area transportation services. Issues relating to the RP83-30 filing are remerved by the instant settlement for hearing and decision, excerpt that Transco shall adjust such rates effective 4/22/83 to reflect a rate of return on common equity of 16% based on the capital structure reflected in ;Staff's top sheets in RP83-11. (The 16% equity allowance shall not be an issue in further proceedings.) 1/ This proposed rate increase was tendered on 10/22/82, about two weeks after Transco filed a settlement offer to resolve nearly all issues connected with its :ast prior rate increase (RP82-55). The aettlement offer in RP82-55 contained two alternative seta of rates Alternate A reflecting an average increase of 103C,,Idth over profiled rates at 100% load factor, coupled with a moratorium prohibiting any further general rnte increase becoming effective prior to 10/1/83 and Alternate B reflecting a lesser average increase of 60'/dth over profiled rates at 100% load' factor but remaining effective only until Transco's subsequent increase is plak-ed in effect in April 1983 upon termination of the suspension period. Transco and nearly all of its customers supported Alternate A, primarily because of a longer period of rate stability provided by the moratorium, whereas Alternate B was favored ' by Staff, the City of New York and a few others. The Commission accepted the ~ Alternate B proposal on 2/10/83. (See REPORT NOS. 1390, pp6-121 1402, pp24-25.)
