Closes the benefit hearing, and 2. Levies the assessments as proposed, and 3. Acknowledges that in each case the abutting property is specially benefitted in enhanced value in excess of the amount assessed for the improvement of Chenault Avenue from Baurline Street to Riverside Drive. DISCUSSION: The 1986 Capital Improvement Program included funds for the improvement of Chenault Avenue (Baurline Street to Riverside Drive). The street is in the Riverside Target Area. The section from Baurline Street to South Judkins was built to City Standards in March 1970. The remaining portion has never been constructed to City standards. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds will provide a portion of the construction cost. One- and two-family residences are not assessed. Chenault Avenue will be constructed with standard concrete pavement. Standard concrete driveways and sidewalks will be built where shown on the plans. On August 13, 1991 (M&C G-9260), the City Council established September 17, 1991, as the date of the benefit hearing. Notice was given in accord with Article 1105b, Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes. An independent appraiser has provided a report that documents the enhancement to property values which results from the improvements. Based on standard City policy, the City Engineer's estimate, and the advice of the independent appraiser, the division of estimated construction cost is: Property owners' share of cost $ 13,135.37 { 8%) City's share of cost $147,178.63 ( 92%) Total cost $160,314.00 (100%) There are no unusual situations on this project that require special City Council consideration.

DISCUSSION: Street Closing - Each year the Southwestern Exposition and Livestock Show requests the temporary closing of 3200, 3300, and 3400 blocks of Crestline Road. Affected City departments have reviewed the 1992 request and do not object to the closing, provided that adequate access is reserved for emergencies.

The City Plan Commission held a public hearing on the amendment on August 28, 1991, and recommends approval of the amendment with one revision. DISCUSSION: The applicant for this amendment is Amcot Partnership, Dunaway Associates, Inc. This amendment was filed in accordance with the Concept Plan C-91-1, Mercantile Center, which was also approved by the City Plan Commission on August 28, 1991. The applicant provided a traffic study to document the future traffic needs for this area, at the request of the Department of Transportation and Pubic Works. This study showed excess capacity in the planned street system for this area. The traffic study showed anticipated future traffic can be accommodated by Sylvania Avenue. The components of the requested changes are: 1. Deletion of the North Riverside Drive cross-over at IH 820, and 2. The Deletion of the segment of North Riverside Drive from just north of Meacham Boulevard to the Texas and Pacific Railway Right -of -Way north of N.E. 28th Street as a Principal Arterial, and 3. Connection of North Riverside Drive to North Sylvania Avenue, just north of Meacham Boulevard. (This proposed change is reflected in Concept Plan C-91-1, MERCANTILE CENTER), and 4. Sylvania Avenue, which is currently designated as a Minor Arterial from Northern Crossing Boulevard to North Riverside Drive, to be upgraded to a Principal Arterial, according to Concept Plan C-91-1, MERCANTILE CENTER. The City Plan Commission supported the application except for the deletion of the North Riverside cross-over at IH 820. Staff Comment: Staff recommends approval of all four of the changes to the MTP that are identified in the traffic study provided by the applicant. The retention of the North Riverside Drive cross-over is not warranted. Failure to remove this partial intersection from the MTP would further private sector expectations that the City would fund this project, even though it would not be technically justified.

M&C G-9312 re There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. G-9312, as follows: Amendment to Assessment Paving SUBJECT: PROPOSED REVISION TO ASSESSMENT PAVING POLICY RELATED TO NON- Pol icy RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council affirm its intent to amend the Assessment Paving Policy to limit paving assessments against non-residential properties in CDBG Target Areas to forty percent (40%) of the property valuation as determined by the Tarrant Appraisal District. Minutes of City Council S-3 Page 401 Tuesday, September 17, 1991 M&C G-9312 cont. II DISCUSSION: On August 27, 1991, Councilman Meadows asked that the benefit hearing for the paving of Bonnell Avenue from Bryant Irvin Road to Merrick Street be continued for two weeks to enable staff to explore a rational approach to assuring that assessments against commercial property were not unduly affecting the use of the property that might result in further deterioration of the property and neighborhood. The City Council previously addressed a similar problem for residential properties by capping assessments at twenty percent (20%) of the TAD Property valuations. It is proposed that the policy be amended to provide that in CDBG Target areas no paving assessment will exceed forty percent (40%) of the value of the property as determined by the Tarrant Appraisal District. (Assessment exemptions and reductions for residential properties are limited to 200 linear feet under single ownership per project. The same limitation is proposed for the forty percent (40%) cap.) By establishing this maximum, the policy would allow the City Council and staff the opportunity to evaluate the proposed assessment against practical neighborhood conditions in areas which have been targeted for rehabilitation of housing stock and infrastructure, and, if applicable, utilize a consistent approach to determine enhancement, if any (0% up to 40%). The maximum forty percent (40%) cap as applied to the Bonnell project reduces the assessments by $6,310 (from $86,359.87 to $80,049.87). Application of a twenty percent (20%) cap would reduce the assessment a total of $18,815.90 (from $86,359.87 to $67,543.97). In accordance with the Subdivision Ordinance, the proposed amendment will be filed with the City Secretary, and the development community will be given thirty (30) days for review and comment. At the end of that period, a policy amendment will be submitted to the Council for formal adoption. M&C G-9312 adopted I� On motion of Council Member Meadows, seconded by Council Member Chappell, the recommendation, as contained in Mayor and Council Communication No. G-9312, was adopted.
