Originated by: Rachel Roberts, Planner
Because the comprehensive plan update is scheduled to begin this fall, we think
it would be a good idea for the Commission to draft a recommendation to submit to the
selected comp plan consultants. It doesn't have to be a formal proposal, but we should
let them know that the Commission believes an FBC could be a good fit for several
areas, such as the ones have had development problems, and could also help resolve
the garden home /townhome task given to the Commission through the strategic plan.
We should also give the consultants the Commission's priority list. This idea has been
discussed by the Commission before, but I wanted to bring it up again for discussion
since the comp plan update process will probably begin in the next few months. If it
meets with your approval, we will write a draft recommendation and bring it to you for
your review at the September meeting.
Staff Report
to the Members of the Planning & Zoning Commission
Date:
August 6, 2010
Work Session Agenda Item: I I -B
Subject: I Sandwich board signs
Originated by: I Rachel Roberts, Planner
Overview:
Sherrie Hubbard, Planning Intern
The Planning & Zoning Commission asked staff to make suggestions on revising the
city's ordinance regulating sandwich board signs. Among the options to consider are requiring
permits for sandwich boards and banning them completely. There are five options shown
beginning on page 3 of this report. The first option shown is the staff recommendation.
Current Regulations
Sec. 17 -504. - Permit regulations.
(a) Permit required. No sign, unless exempted under section 17 -515 and section 17 -516,
shall be erected, displayed, or altered within the City of Kennedale without a duly
approved sign permit from the city. The administrative official shall ensure that all sign
permits are granted only in compliance with the provisions of this article.
Sec. 17 -509. - Other signage.
(c) Multi- tenant signs. Developments containing two or more businesses, whether in a
single building or multiple buildings, shall share a sign structure for advertisement of
multiple businesses located within the development. This provision is applicable to
businesses located on the same lot upon which the sign is located. Such signs shall
comply with the following:
(6) Individual pad or lease sites, defined in an approved site plan, are treated as
separate lots for purposes of this subsection;
a. Businesses shall not be allowed advertising on both the multiple tenant (shared)
sign and another free standing business identification sign except for signs permitted

Sec. 17 -514. - Prohibited signs.
In addition to signs not specifically described or allowed in this article the following signs
are specifically prohibited.
(7) Portable signs, with the exception of sandwich board signs which comply with the
regulations set forth in section 17 -516.

Common Definitions of Sandwich Board Signs.
Wikipedia entry: fhttp: / /en.wikipedia.org /wiki /Sandwich board
"A sandwich board is a type of advertisement composed of two boards (holding a message or
graphic) and being either:
* Carried by a person, with one board one in front and one behind, creating a
'sandwich' effect; or
* Set up (for example next to a store advertising its goods) in a triangle shape, hinged
along the top.
"The carried version is usually attached to straps acting as suspenders, allowing the person
wearing the boards to carry the weight on his or her shoulders and keeping the boards balanced
on the wearer. Sandwich boards are most typically deployed in busy pedestrian areas and
advertise businesses within easy walking distance. The wearer might also pass out flyers or
shout advertising slogans. Sandwich boards... have largely been supplanted by billboards,
which are more effective in advertising to passers -by who are now likely to be in automobiles...
"However, they are still frequently to be seen on major shopping streets such as Oxford Street,
London, England; Champs Elysees, Paris, France, and 42nd Street, New York City, where they
are used to advertise offers from particular stores most often in adjacent side - streets."
Princeton's WordNet entry: [ http: / /wordnetweb .princeton.edu /perl /webwn]

"signboard consisting of two hinged boards that hang front and back from the shoulders of a
walker and are used to display advertisements"

the business using the sign, with the sign required to be changeable.
• The 2 nd option listed prohibits sandwich board signs.
• The 3` option is to allow sandwich board signs but require a permit.
• The 4 th option would allow sandwich boards signs and would not require a permit, but

regulations.

Work Session Agenda Item No: I -C
Subject: Subdivision Maintenance Bonds and Guarantees
Originated by: Rachel Roberts, Planner
Sherrie Hubble, Planning Intern
Overview:
During the July Commission meeting, you asked staff to draft changes to the
subdivision regulations that would allow for extensions of the maintenance bond and a
build -out requirement. Suggested changes to the regulations are provided below. We have
included two options for revisions. One option provides for an extension if improvements
are found to be unacceptable at the end of the period covered by the maintenance bond
and if a certain percentage of lots are not built out; the other option provides the same
conditions but also allows a reduction in maintenance bond coverage.
Our Current Ordinance:
Our current maintenance bond requirements have the following timeline:
❑ the developer secures a public works construction permit;
❑ the developer constructs the improvements;
❑ the city inspects the improvements during construction;
❑ if improvements are approved, a 2 -year maintenance bond is secured by the
developer, improvements are accepted, and building permits may be issued.
1
Sec. 17 -250. - Maintenance bond requirements.
The developer's contractor shall be required to file a maintenance bond with the
director of development and enforcement, prior to beginning construction by the city, in
an amount and form satisfactory to the director, in order to assure the satisfactory
condition of the required improvements for a period of two (2) years after the date of
their acceptance by the city.
Sec. 17 -248. - City - developer agreements.
(c) Bonds; escrow agreement. Whenever public improvements (or private
improvements in lieu thereof) are to be constructed in connection with the subdivision,
the developer shall submit the following bonds to the city, executed by a surety
company holding a license to do business in the State of Texas and in a form
acceptable to the city:
(3) Maintenance bond. Prior to acceptance by the city of any improvements, a
maintenance bond will be furnished in an amount equal to the cost of the construction
of any public improvements (and /or private improvements being constructed in lieu
thereof) insuring the repair and replacement of all defects due to faulty materials or
workmanship that occur within a period of two (2) years from the date of acceptance of
the improvements by the city.
Sec. 17 -251. - Public works construction permit required.
Construction shall not start on any street, sidewalk, drainage, utility or public
improvement until a public works construction permit and an acceptable two -year
maintenance bond has been issued for all facilities in the subdivision or the approved
phase of the said subdivision.
Model: Kitsap County, WA
Prior to the final approval of construction and release of any performance sureties, a
maintenance bond must be posted and maintained by the project owner for a period of two
years. The maintenance bond shall guarantee the storm water facilities and roads
constructed under permit against design defects and /or failures in workmanship, and shall
guarantee that the facilities constructed under the permit will be regularly and adequately
2
maintained throughout the maintenance period. At the end of this time, the county will
inspect the system and, when the facility is acceptable and eighty percent of the lots in that
phase have been improved, the county will take over the maintenance and operations of the
system. In the event that eighty percent of the lots in a residential development have not
been improved by the end of the two -year maintenance period, the maintenance bond may
be extended, subject to the approval of the director, for one additional year...
(Ord. 199 (1996) § 4.40, 1996)
Recommended Revisions to City of Kennedale Code:
Option 1: Extension of Bond without Option for Reduction
Sec. 17 -250. Maintenance bond requirements.
The developer's contractor shall be required to file a maintenance bond with the
director of development and enforcement, prior to beginning construction by the city, in

condition of the required improvements for a period of two (2) years after the date of
their acceptance by the city. At the end of this time the City will inspect the
improvements and the maintenance bond may be extended if:
a. the lots are not seventy (70) percent built or,
b. construction materials or workmanship of the improvements is deemed
unacceptable by the public works director
The full value of the maintenance bond will be renewed annually for a period not exceeding
two (2) years until all improvements are completed and deemed acceptable by the public
works director and the lots are seventy (70) percent built.
3
Sec. 17 -248. - City - developer agreements.
(c) Bonds; escrow agreement. Whenever public improvements (or private improvements
in lieu thereof) are to be constructed in connection with the subdivision, the developer

Section 17.250.)
Sec. 17 -251. - Public works construction permit required.

A maintenance bond may be renewed for an additional two (2) years until all improvements
are deemed acceptable by the City or until the minimum build -out requirement is met. At
the discretion of the public works director, the amount of coverage for maintenance bonds
may be reduced based on the percentage of lots built at the end of the initial two (2) year
period If, after the first extension the minimum build -out requirement is not vet met, the

Work Session Agenda Item No: ( I -D
Subject: I Comprehensive Plan
Originated by: I Rachel Roberts, Planner
The city is applying for a federal grant program that funds master planning
efforts. If awarded to Kennedale, the grant would pay for 80% of our
comprehensive plan costs, with the city to provide the remaining 20 %. Our
proposal is due at the end of August, but the award notification date is not yet
set; we only know that recipients will be announced sometime after the end of
September. We'll provide updates on the status of our proposal as we receive
them.
Our budget has already included the costs for the plan update, and we
think having a committed 20% match is a point in our favor. However, we do
expect competition for the grant to be tough. Tarrant County is submitting a
county -wide proposal, and the NCTCOG is also submitting a proposal. We have
asked to be included in the COG proposal, just in case, but we don't know yet
whether we'll be included in the final proposal.

Regular Meeting/Public Hearing I III
Item No:
Subject: I Case PZ 10 -09
Originated by: I Rachel Roberts, Planner
CASE # PZ 10 -09 to consider and receive comments regarding a request
for a re -plat of approximately 45.696 acres from Ben Jopling Survey A
866 Tr 3B, James R Hawkins Survey A 792 Tr 1 B, and Swiney
Subdivision Lot 6A, Lot 4 less SW corner, and W Pt 5, City of Kennedale,
Tarrant County, Texas to Lots 1 and 2, Block A, Bowerman Addition, City
of Kennedale, Tarrant County, Texas. The property is located at 1257,
1301, and 1409 Swiney Hiett Road, an unaddressed property on N Joplin
Rd, and an unaddressed property on Coker Valley Dr. The replat is
requested by Bowerman Oil & Gas.
This case relates to Case PZ 10 -05 heard two months ago by the Commission. The
Commission approved a replat of this property with the condition that the city and
property owner work out the size and location of right -of -way dedications prior to the city
council hearing for the case. When we settled the details of the right -of -way dedication,
we realized that the dedication on the east side of the property (would connect
Glenbrook to Joplin) would create a new lot that does not meet the size requirements for
the property's zoning designation. The new lot would retain the existing Agricultural
zoning classification, which requires a minimum of one (1) acre. We asked the property
owner to submit to council a plat showing only the dedication that had been proposed on
the west side of the property (connecting Cross Creek to a possible future extension of
Glaze Lane), with a written note that he would later apply for a replat and rezoning to
allow for the second right -of -way dedication.
City Council approved the plat with one dedication (on the west side of the property)
during its July meeting.
1
The proposed replat meets most city requirements. Some corrections need to be made
to the plat drawing; the surveyor is aware of these corrections and should have a
corrected drawing prepared for the city council public hearing. The corrections are listed
below for your reference. The new lot does not, of course, meet the city's minimum size
requirements, and therefore the replat cannot be approved without a rezoning. The next
case, PZ 10 -10, is the rezoning request for this property. The owner requests R -3
zoning, the details for which are addressed in a separate staff report for Case PZ 10 -10.
Recommendations.
Staff recommends approval of the replat with the following conditions:
1. Case PZ 10 -09 is approved only if Case PZ 10 -10 is also approved.
2. Case PZ 10 -09 is approved if the plat drawing is corrected as follows:
a. Provide zoning label for the property to be platted and for surrounding
property
b. Note proposed zoning changes
c. Note setback lines

Regular Meeting/Public Hearing III
Item No:
Subject: Case PZ 10 -10
Originated by: Rachel Roberts, Planner
Case PZ 10 -10 to consider and receive comments regarding a request for
rezoning from AG Agricultural Zoning District to R -3 Single Family
Residential Zoning District of approximately 0.4 acres more particularly
described as Lot 2, Block A, Bowerman Addition. The property is located
immediately south of Steeplechase Subdivision Block 3 Lot 34 and
immediately west of Tract 3A1A, A -866, Ben Jopling Survey; a copy of
the metes and bounds description is available at City Hall. The rezoning
is requested by Bowman Oil & Gas.
The rezoning requested under this case was submitted jointly with Case PZ 10 -09. The
replat considered under case PZ 10 -09 would create two lots; one of the lots does not
meet the minimum size requirements of the Agricultural zoning district category, so the
property owner and city staff are requesting a rezoning to allow the replat.
As you probably recall, the property owner's original intention was to create only one lot
through a replat and final plat. During a public hearing at a city council meeting, the
property owner agreed to dedicate right -of -way for future roads to provide secondary
access to the Steeplechase subdivision. Secondary access has been a concern to
Steeplechase residents and city staff. The subdivision has two sides, each with only one
way of ingress and egress. The right -of -way dedication from the property owner would
allow for future roadways to provide another way in and out of each side of the
subdivision.
As described in the staff report for Case PZ 10 -09, city staff and the property owner have
been working on the size and location of the dedications. We determined the
dedications that would work best to provide secondary access would be one on the east
side of the property and one on the west side. The dedication on the east side of the
property (connecting Glenbrook to Joplin) would create a new lot that does not meet the
size requirements for the property's Agricultural zoning designation. The new lot would
retain the Agricultural zoning classification, which requires a minimum of one (1) acre.
We are requesting a rezoning to R -3 Single Family Residential. The rezoning would
allow the property to be replatted with the dedication for the secondary access to the
east side of Steeplechase.
The entire property considered under Case PA 10 -09 recently was recently rezoned to
Agricultural; prior to the rezoning, the property was zoned R -3 Single Family Residential.
In addition, the properties to the north and east of the subject property are zoned R -3.
The comprehensive plan's Future Land Use Plan identifies this area as low density
residential, which is defined in the plan as follows:
[Residential, Low Density] — Single Family Residential Homes, this includes a
broad range of housing sizes and values, it generally includes all detached single
family houses regardless of the size of the lot or the size of the house. [p.8]
The Agricultural zoning designation and all of the city's Single Family Residential zoning
designations meet the city's definition of low- density residential, and therefore an R -3
classification for this property would not conflict with the future use plan. In addition, an
R -3 zoning for the subject property would not conflict with the goals of the
i
comprehensive land use plan.
Recommendations.
Staff recommends approval of Case PZ 10 -10.

Originated by: Rachel Roberts, Planner
The intent of this Agenda Item is to maintain a working and ongoing list of items that staff and
the Commission need to address. Items on this list will be placed on the agenda to be
considered individually as the Commission's schedule permits.
a. Green /Environmental Regulations
b. Bowman Springs
c. Incompatible Zoning Districts /Properties
d. Storm Water Ordinances and Creek Ordinances
e. Salvage Yard Ordinance
f. Overlay Zoning District
Our summer intern, Sherrie Hubble, has begun researching environmental regulations used
in other cities that permit environmentally - responsible development and building but do not
compromise the city's existing ordinances and goals. For example, she's found ordinances
that allow wind turbines, wind chargers, and solar panels but regulate height and setbacks.
We also found guidelines and best practices for energy efficiency /environmental regulations.
We are continuing our research and will have more information for you at the next meeting.
In the meantime, if you'd like to read through the ordinances and guidelines found so far,
please let me know, and I can email them to you or give you printed copy at the meeting.
