Minutes June 25, 1991166 CITY OF DENTON CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 25, 1991 The Council convened into the Work Session at 5:15 p.m. in the Civil Defense Room. PRESENT: Mayor Castleberry; Mayor Pro Tem Hopkins; Council Members Chew, Perry, Smith and Trent. ABSENT: Council Member Alexander 1. The Council convened into the Executive Session to discuss legal matters (considered action in Patel v. Cit~ and Gladden v. City), real estate, and personnel/board appointments (considered appointments to all City of Denton Boards, Commissions and Task Forces). 2. The Council received an update and held a discussion regarding the Truman Harp complaint. Rick Svehla, Deputy City Manager, stated that Mr. Harp had appeared before Council to ask for some access relief to the rear of his property. Originally the Harps had two means of access to the property. One was a head-in driveway leading to the original garage on his house and the second was through a drainage easement and flume to the rear of his property. In the mid 80's the City installed the Glenwood-Mistywood drainage system and an inlet was installed in front of the drainage flume on the Harp's property. Svehla reviewed the four options available to solve the problem. Option one would rebuild the driveway for the Harp's further to the north toward the middle of the property and would reconnect to the drainage flume to allow access to the rear of the property. Mr. Harp did not like that option and did not accept that. Option two would pave a drive section equal in cost to Option one on the north side of the Harp property. This would connect to his existing drive and would have allowed him access to the back yard on the north side of his home. Staff indicated to the Harp's that a total driveway would not be built but that an amount of driveway equal to the cost of the first option would be built. The Harp's felt this was not an acceptable solution. Option three, suggested by the Harp's, was to build a "grate" inlet in the mouth of the drainage flume. Staff felt that a grate inlet was very inefficient when compared to regular "open throat" inlets. In order to build a grate structure sufficient to take the same amount of water, the grate would have had to be the total width of the drainage flume and would have had to be 20-25 feet long in order to take water from the street. Option four was to install a pipe underneath the Harp's flume and the adjacent property to the west. This pipe would terminate in an inlet on the cul-de-sac one lot west of the Harp's. Current costs for Option one and two were $2,000 - $3,000. Cost for Option three was $25,-30,000 and the cost of Option four was approximately $80,000 - 100,000. Staff felt that Council was ready to build Option one or to provide the Harp's with the equivalent dollars to build Option one and let him build Option two if he so desired and staff was still recommending either of those two options. City of Denton City Council Minutes June 25, 1991 Page 2 167 Bob Nelson, Executive Director for Utilities, provided information regarding a second complaint from the neighborhood regarding possible sewage leaking in the area. He stated that a camera had been run through the line. It showed a number of places where the joints had slipped some but that was not uncommon for lines of that age. There were some places where there were small holes. The grading on the line was sufficient to keep the flow moving. In order to have ground seepage, the line would have to be stopped. Staff felt that there was no sewer leakage in the area. The neighbors had complained about a bad smell in the area. Staff was suggesting that the natural iron in the ground could be causing the smell when exposed to excessive water. The line could be replaced at a cost of $10,000 - $15,000 if the Council desired but from a technical standpoint, there was not a wastewater problem in the area. Council, staff and the Harp's held a discussion regarding the testing of the ground for bacteria, the constant presence of water bubbling up from the joints in the concrete, the ability of the pipe size to handle the amount of homes on the line. Consensus of the Council was to continue testing the area before spending the money on the new sewer pipes. The results of the tests would be brought to Council for consideration. 3. The Council received a report and held a discussion concerning a proposed City of Denton drug policy and proposed policy for investigation and inspection of City equipment/facilities. Tom Klinck, .Director of Personnel, stated that the Anti-Substance Abuse and Rehabilitation Policy was a drug screening program that was the process to ensure a drug-free work environment. The philosophy of the City had been to incorporate the Employee Assistance Program with that policy. The policy prohibited employees from manufacturing, using, possessing, selling, distributing, consuming or transporting any controlled substance or alcoholic beverages while on City property when conducting City business, or when performing job duties or responsibilities. Prescription and over-the-counter medication was also prohibited if proper procedures were not followed. The policy directed that testing for drugs and/or alcohol be performed under the following conditions: (1) current employees in which reasonable suspicion existed that an individual was performing job duties or representing the City under the influence of drugs or alcohol, (2) current employees who were promoted into another position within the City of Denton, and (3) all final applicants who were hired into a position with the City of Denton. Research had been done to en~ure that the City of Denton ~esting procedures were in compliance with the mandatory guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs through the National Institute of Drugs and Alcohol Abuse. Klinck reviewed the testing procedures for drugs and alcohol abuse. 168 City of Denton City Council Minutes June 25, 1991 Page 3 Klinck reviewed the policy for investigation and inspection of City equipment and facilities. He stated that the purpose of the policy was not to invade the privacy of employees, but rather to give managers/supervisors the authority to have access to facilities and equipment that was city-owned and to take action if something was discovered in the search that was believed to be inappropriate. Implementation of both policies were proposed to be effective on July 15, 1991. Training for managers and supervisors would be conducted on July 8 and 9 if Council approved the policies at the July 2 meeting. The Council convened into the Regular Session at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers. PRESENT: Mayor Castleberry; Mayor Pro Tem Hopkins; Council Members Chew, Perry, Smith and Trent. ABSENT: Council Member Alexander Pledge of Allegiance The Council and members of the audience recited the Pledge of Allegiance. A presentation was made by the Metroplex Pearl Harbor Survivors Association making Mayor Castleberry an honorary member in honor of his brother who was killed at Pearl Harbor. 2. The Council considered approval of the minutes of the Regular Session of June 4, 1991 and the Special Call Session of June 11, 1991. Trent motioned, Chew seconded to approve presented. Motion carried unanimously. 3. Citizen Reports the minutes as A. The Council received a citizen report from Joe Dodd regarding pornography and the City franchise. Mr. Dodd stated that he wanted protection of children from pornography. He felt that material must be kept away from children and that they should not have access to it. He felt cable television companies were allowing such material on t.v. where children could view it. He asked the Council to pressure the local District Attorney to investigate this situation as he had made a formal complaint and did not feel it was being investigated properly. He also asked Council to request the State Attorney General to look into the matter. He stated that individuals who were suppose to be investigating his complaint had not even seen the movie he was questioning. City of Denton City Council Minutes June 25, 1991 'Page 4 169 Public Hearings A. The Council held a public hearing and considered adoption of an ordinance rezoning a 14 acre tract of land from the Planned Development (PD) District to the Agricultural (A) District on property located on the southeast corner of Highway 77 and Riney Road, north of Windsor Drive. Z-91-003 (The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval 4-1 at its June 12, 1991 meeting). The Mayor opened the public hearing. Marvin Matthews, pastor of the Denton First Seventh Day Adventist Church, stated that the Church was seeking to relocate its site from Loop 288 to this location. They wanted to rezone the property as the property had been previously zoned by another owner. The Church was not able to use that zoning and was requesting an agricultural designation which would allow them to build their church on that site. Mayor Pro Tem Hopkins asked if the proposed zoning was for agriculture. Matthews stated yes that they would like agriculture zoning for the entire property so that the church could be built and then replat later for any additional build%ngs. Council Member Trent asked what was anticipated on the site other than the church. Matthews replied that there would be nothing other than the church at this time. There would be no parsonage. In the future there might be an auditorium and perhaps a church school. Council Member Smith stated that the site was currently 14 acres. How much of the land would be used at this time for the church including the parking lot. Matthews replied that with improvements to Highway 77 and the straightening of Riney Road, the property would be reduced to approximately 5-10 acres. Council Member Perry asked how the buildings would be located on the property. Matthews stated that the church would be built where the current retirement center was proposed. The other portion of the property would be park/playground area. 170 City of Denton City Council Minutes June 25, 1991 Page 5 Council Member Perry stated that the long-range plan would be to landscape the property and keep it mowed and well maintained. Matthews replied yes. Mrs. Melvin Dane stated that she lived next to the property and presented pictures of the current state of the property. She was not opposed to the church being built on the site but was concerned with the maintenance of the property until the church was actually built. She wanted the planned development zoning to remain in place until the church had definite plans to build. She was concerned with what would happen to the rest of the property. Ralph Cordray stated that in the original plat, Riney Road had to be straightened. He wanted that to be continued with the new zoning. Ralph Morrison stated that he was not opposed to the.church but no one had seen any plans for development of the property. The present zoning would allow them to build the church and was more restrictive. There were no definite plans at this time for development. Who would pay for the widening of Riney Road. He felt it would be difficult for the small congregation to keep the weeds cut on the 14 acres. Robert Dane stated that the church did not need a change in zoning to build the church on the site. Instead of presenting new plans, they wanted to change the zoning so as not to follow the regulations. Mr. Matthews was allowed a five minute rebuttal. Matthews stated that the church had had possession of the property for only the last year and a half. The plans in the current planned development were not what they wanted to do. Current zoning would not allow a church to be built. It would allow a retirement center but that was not what they wanted to build. A change in zoning was needed in order to build a church. Council Member Trent asked what was being done to maintain the property. Matthews replied that they had contracted with a mower to mow the property every two weeks. There were old buildings that needed to be removed. Council Member Trent asked if someone was being paid to mow the property every two weeks and if it indeed was being done.. City of Denton City Council Minutes June 25, 1991 Page 6 Matthews replied yes. The property had not been mowed near the trees but it could be done if required. The Mayor closed the public hearing. Karen Feshari, Urban Planner, stated that the property had never been platted and that improvements would need to go through the platting process. She stated that perimeter paving and realignment of Riney Road would be required when the property was replatted, a sidewalk would be required along Riney Road and Highway 77, and 60' of right-of-way would be required. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the property would need to be platted. Drainage improvements would be needed at the south end and along the eastern boundary of the property. The Planning and Zoning Commission had heard the case on April 24, 1991 and recommended approval but it was discovered that some residents within the 200' radius were not notified. Thus the Commission had to rehear the case on June 12, 1991 and again recommended approval. The property had had a number of cases presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council. In May of 1985, the Council approved a request for a change in zoning from agricultural to planned development for 31 single family detached lots and a 'three story retirement/recovery center. The property was located in a low intensity area and by downzoning the planned development, the intensity trips would be reduced. Council Member Perry stated that any future development would take into account the rerouting of Riney Road and the development of the cul-de-sac. Feshari stated that at the time the property would be developed and before a building permit were issued, the property would have to go through the platting process. All discussions of road improvements and who would be responsible for those improvements would be done in the platting process. All those issues would have to be resolved before a building permit could be issued. Council Member Perry asked if that also applied to the drainage improvements. Feshari replied yes. Council Member Smith asked if the church could be built with the current planned development. Feshari replied no that the planned development allow a three story retirement center and 31 single family lots on the site but not a church. 171 172 City of Denton City Council Minutes June 25, 1991 Page 7 City Manager Harrell stated that the only way the current zoning could stay in place and still build the church was to amend the planned development. The current planned development did not allow a church to be built on the site. Mayor Pro Tem Hopkins stated that a plan would need to be presented before the church was built. A church could be built at any location but a plan needed to be presented and followed before that church was built. Council Member Trent felt that it was unfair owners to take the blame for the condition caused by the previous owners. to the current of the property The following ordinance was considered: NO. 91-087 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS, PROVIDING FOR A CHANGE FROM PLANNED DEVELOPMENT (PD) TO AGRICULTURAL (A) ZONING DISTRICT CLASSIFICATION AND USE DESIGNATION FOR 14 ACRES OF LAND LOCATED ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF HIGHWAY 77 AND RINEY ROAD, NORTH OF WINDSOR DRIVE; PROVIDING FOR A PENALTY IN THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF $2,000 FOR VIOLATIONS THEREOF; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Trent motioned, Hopkins seconded to adopt the ordinance. On roll vote, Trent "aye," Hopkins "aye," Smith "aye," Chew "aye," Perry "aye," and Mayor Castleberry "aye." Motion carried unanimously. B. The Council held a public hearing and considered adoption of an ordinance amending Chapter 35 of the Code of Ordinances creating an Outdoor Amusement and Recreation District (OAR); amending Chapter 34 of the Code of Ordinances to provide an exception to parking lot paving requirements. (The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval 5-0 at its June 12, 1991 meeting.) The Mayor opened the public hearing. No one spoke in favor. No one spoke in opposition. The Mayor closed the public hearing. City of Denton City Council Minutes June 25, 1991 Page 8 Harry Persuad, Senior Planner, stated that the proposed ordinance would add an Outdoor Amusement and Recreation District to the Code of Ordinances. The proposed district would include recreational uses which tended to be a nuisance by nature to adjacent residential uses. Those uses generally required large tracts of land for their operation. It was intended that these uses remain in their current districts as permitted uses. The OAR district would create a different set of standards for use. This was important due to the past problems associated with the North Texas Fairgrounds. That property was rezoned from single family to general retail. The OAR district was intended to provide an alternative zoning district to resolve similar situations in the future. Associated with the OAR was a proposed change in the parking lot paving requirements. The requirement' would allow parking on unpaved surfaces on land primarily used for fairgrounds or rodeos. The following ordinance was considered: NO. 91-088 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS, AMENDING CHAPTER 35 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES TO PROVIDE FOR AN OUTDOOR AMUSEMENT AND RECREATION ZONING DISTRICT; PROVIDING FOR REGULATIONS FOR THE DISTRICT; AMENDING CHAPTER 34 TO PROVIDE AN EXCEPTION TO PARKING LOT PAVING REQUIREMENTS FOR FAIRGROUNDS; PROVIDING FOR A PENALTY NOT TO EXCEED $2,000 FOR VIOLATIONS THEREOF; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Hopkins motioned, Chew seconded to adopt the ordinance. On roll vote, Trent "aye," Hopkins "aye," Smith "aye," Chew "aye," Perry "aye," and Mayor Castleberry "aye." Motion carried unanimously. C. The Council held a public hearing and considered adoption of an ordinance abolishing the Denton City-County Joint Airport Zoning Board; amending Chapter 3 of the Code of Ordinances to provide for the creation of an Airport Zoning Commission and setting forth the powers and duties of the Commission. (The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended adoption by a vote of 7-0 and the Municipal Airport Board 6-0 at the joint meeting held April 17, 1991). The Mayor opened the public hearing. 173 George Gilkeson stated that this ordinance was needed to protect the Airport. 174 City of Denton City Council Minutes June 25, 1991 ~age 9 Gerald Mitchell stated that he was not really in opposition to the proposal but, as a resident of the immediate area, he would like to be kept informed of the time and place of the Board's meetings. City Manager Harrell stated that if the ordinance were passed, he would notify staff to inform Mr. Mitchell of the initial meeting plus subsequent meetings if he so desired. The Mayor closed the public hearing. Harry Persuad, Senior Planner, stated that the current Municipal Airport Regulation was adopted by Council in 1981. Those regulations were used by the staff to determine the building development near the Airport. Originally this was a joint City-County Board as the City's population was under 50,000. Now that Denton's population was over 50,000 a joint board was no longer needed. The current regulations excluded land use compatibility zoning. In an update process, staff would review the current FAA requirements and incorporate land use compatibility zoning into an updated ordinance. The Planning and Zoning Commission and the Airport Advisory Board recommended an Airport Zoning Commission which would be comprised of six members with three members from the Commission and three members from the Board. The proposed ordinance would abolish the Denton City-County Joint Airport Zoning Board and create an Airport Zoning Commission. The following ordinance was considered: NO. 91-089 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS, ABOLISHING THE DENTON CITY-COUNTY JOINT AIRPORT ZONING BOARD; AMENDING CHAPTER3 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES TO PROVIDE FOR THE CREATION OF AN AIRPORT ZONING COMMISSION; SETTING FORTH THE POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE COMMISSION; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

The Council considered adoption of an ordinance amending the schedule of electric rates by adopting an amended Schedule TS (Thermal Storage Incentive Rate). (The Public Utilities Board recommended approval). Bob Nelson, Executive Director for Utilities, stated that the Public Utilities Board recommended revising the Thermal Storage rate in order to increase incentive payments to the customer from the current level of ~150/kw of storage to ~250/kw of storage for the first 500 kw shifted off-peak and $125/kw for any additional kw shifted. This rate would be matching the incentive offered by TU Electric. Currently there were no customers on this rate but at least two customers were presently exploring this option. By increasing the incentive payment, it was hoped that this option would be more attractive ~o a customer.

The Council considered approval of a resolution accepting Minute Order Number 91656 adopted by the Texas Highway Commission regarding improvements to Farm to Market Road 2499; accepting Minute Order Number 91657 adopted by the Texas Highway Commission regarding the extension of Farm to Market Road 2499 and Loop 288. Rick Svehla, Deputy City Manager, stated that these Orders would continue to move this project which would build a road from DFW to Denton. It was a long process but inexpensive process from the City's standpoint. This was a level 2 authorization which would allow the City to proceed with the acquisition of the right-of-way. The first Minute Order would allow the City to proceed with the acquisition for the section of Highway 2499 from FM407 to FM2181. The second Minute Order gave level 2 designation for the extension of Loop 288 from Spencer Road to FM2181. The level 2 designation also put the extension on the FM system and the Loop on the state system assuming the City did the route studies, the alignment studies and established the right-of-way requirements. Cornith had already passed the Minute Orders and the county and Highland Village were working on passage. 177 178 City of Denton City Council Minutes June 25, 1991 Page 13 Council Member Trent asked about the activity of the other municipalities. Svehla replied that they were very involved. Highland Village had been working on the southern section. They had verbal commitments for approximately 75-80% of the right-of-way. Cornith had been working very actively in the last six months in contacting land owners for right-of-way in their area. City Manager Harrell stated that these were one of the most crucial transportation links for the City for the future. With the State Highway Department's funding being so limited, it would be beneficial to allocate City funds to help with the extension of the Loop and the upper portion of Highway 2499 to persuade the State to keep this as a high 'priority and keep it moving ahead. The following resolution was considered: NO. R91-037 A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING MINUTE ORDER NUMBER 91656 ADOPTED BY THE TEXAS HIGHWAY COMMISSION REGARDING IMPROVEMENTS TO FARM TO MARKET ROAD 2499; ACCEPTING MINUTE ORDER NUMBER 91657 ADOPTED BY THE TEXAS HIGHWAY COMMISSION REGARDING THE EXTENSION OF FARM TO MARKET ROAD 2499 AND LOOP 288; AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

The Council considered approval of a resolution temporarily closing the I35E Frontage Road on July 4, from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., for the Kiwanis Fireworks Spectacular. The following resolution was considered: NO. R91-038 A RESOLUTION TEMPORARILY CLOSING INTERSTATE 35-E FRONTAGE ROAD, FROM ITS INTERSECTION WITH AVENUE E TO ITS INTERSECTION WITH BONNIE BRAE ON JULY 4, 1991; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
