Exhibit B
THE CONDITIONS
Arlington Heights Design Standards and Guidelines for Redevelopment
The City of Fort Worth is ready to guide the buyers on permitting, review, and approval of
their redevelopment plans. This document provides the path for successful redevelopment
and outlines the redevelopment requirements that will be required after the properties are
purchased.
Development of the properties must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local
laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, and regulations and all applicable City development,
criteria, review, and permitting procedures. Given the uniqueness of the proposed
development, some important aspects of the development review process are listed below:
A pre -development meeting with the City is required to be held before moving
forward with the development to ensure both the buyer and City are all on the
same page regarding permitting and review based on the conditions, standards and
guidelines in the Arlington Heights Design Standards and Guidelines for
Redevelopment.
• A concept plan, or site plan, and lot grading plan showing existing and proposed
grades must be submitted for review and approval. Lot grading plans shall be
sealed by a professional engineer licensed by the State of Texas.
• Upon completion of the development or redevelopment activity, an as -built
survey shall be submitted by the buyer in order to show conformance with the
approved plans. The as -built plan shall be sealed by a professional engineer or
land surveyor licensed by the State of Texas.
Due to the flood prone nature of the area and to mitigate the risk of adverse
impacts to nearby properties from the project:
o Engineering evaluations must be performed to show that the development
will not increase flood risk to surrounding properties and structures.
Before any demolition, development, or redevelopment activity occurs, a
completed City Flood Risk Area (CFRA) certificate prepared and sealed
by a professional engineer licensed by the State of Texas must be
provided;
o Lot grading cannot significantly change from existing conditions;
o Existing site conditions, grades, elevations, and overland flow
characteristics shall be maintained in order avoid aggravating flooding or
drainage issues; and
Central Arlington Heights Properties
o Any additional impervious cover to the overall development footprint
must be mitigated.
• All requests for permits, plans, and study review must be submitted and paid for
following the current Fort Worth development review and approval process.
Required documentation shall be submitted with initial building permit
applications. If the proposed use of the property would not require any building
permit applications, then all required documents shall be submitted as part of a
floodplain development permit instead. No demolition, grading, or construction
shall be performed until after the required documents are reviewed and approved.
• Each existing home or redeveloped home must be elevated at least two feet above
the 100-year non-FEMA base flood elevation. Elevation Certificates will be
required for each of the completed homes to show the lowest floor and any
equipment serving the homes (such as air conditioners) are elevated at least two
feet above the 100-year non-FEMA base flood elevation. The Elevation Certificate
must be completed using the latest FEMA Elevation Certificate form by a registered
public land surveyor or professional engineer and submitted within sixty (60) days
after completion of construction. If currently discussed updates to the permitting
process take effect, the buyer will pay $2,000.00 to the City through the
development permitting process and the City will obtain the Elevation Certificate
and provide a copy of the certificate to the buyer upon completion. If the permitting
process updates have not taken effect, the buyer will obtain their own development
certificate and submit to the City.
• To ensure existing conditions will be maintained in the future, no re -platting of the
Properties will be considered.
Past engineering studies and models of the area are available upon request by emailing:
SDSaTortWorthTexas. Gov
FENCING
Existing side and rear yard fencing must remain in place or be reconstructed in the same
location, alignment, type, style, material, and hydraulic characteristics. Fencing may be
relocated to more accurately reflect the existing property boundaries.
DESIGN PRINCIPLES OF NEW CONSTRUCTION
The properties should be redeveloped in accordance with the prevailing architectural style
and residential nature of the surrounding historic community. The follow design principles
will be followed:
Zoning - maintain current zoning of A5/Single Family. No taller than two stories or a
maximum of thirty-five (35) feet. No duplexes, urban residential or apartments.
Central Arlington Heights Properties
o Note: If the buyer chooses to elevate the existing duplex structure at 2201/2203
Western Avenue, that home may remain as a duplex. If the duplex is demolished
and rebuilt, it will be required to be a single-family home.
Setbacks - no zero -lot line development. As much as possible, observe existing front, rear
and side yard building setbacks. The City may consider flexibility on front yard setbacks
for porches and steps.
o Align porch and front facing walls of structure with adjacent historic structures or
use the average setback of structures on the block.
Scale - follow established scale of existing historic homes along the block face (for
example, no McMansions).
o The overall scale of new construction must be consistent with that of adjacent
structures. In residential areas, the height and scale of new construction should
generally not exceed that of adjacent structures by more than one story with no
home being taller than two stories.
Facades - Brick, wood or fiber/cement board only, to be consistent with character of the
traditional neighborhood.
Garages/driveways - locate garages or carports at rear of lots to reflect traditional
placement of accessory structures within the neighborhood; no front facing garages or
garage doors. No carports or large parking aprons in front of home.
Windows - maintain traditional fenestration window patterns and details; avoid the two-
dimensional appearance of low-cost windows. Materials for new windows may be wood,
vinyl clad, or pre -finished aluminum in appropriate colors.
Roofs - maintain established roofline patterns, forms, and materials.
o Roof pitch, form, and orientations shall be consistent with those predominantly
found on the block.
o No metal roofs
RECORDING OF HISTORIC STRUCTURES
For historic mitigation purposes, the City is required to record the condition of the seven
historically significant houses (all properties except 2205 Western Avenue) before any
work is undertaken by the owner. The City's Historic Preservation Officer (HPO) will
review each buyer's development plans to determine which houses will need to be recorded
prior to work being undertaken, considering the buyer's plans.
The HPO will coordinate with the property owner to determine whether structures will
need to be recorded prior to work being undertaken. If recording is required by the HPO,
Central Arlington Heights Properties
the property owner must allow the City's Historic Preservation Officer at least two (2) days
to access the properties and take photographs of the exteriors of the structures. The property
owner must coordinate with the HPO to determine whether additional historic
documentation is required due to changes in the elevation or demolition of the structures.
If the property owner proposes to elevate a structure in compliance with Secretary of
Interior (SOI) Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties, the property owner must
submit to the HPO accurate drawings to scale, depicting both the property as it currently
exists and the property after the proposed alteration. If a house is to be demolished, or
elevated without following SOI standards, this documentation will not be required.
Elevation to SOI standards is not a requirement for the redevelopment.
For structures proposed to be elevated to SOI Standards, the property owner must, after the
completion of construction, allow the HPO at least two (2) days to access the property to
verify that the work met the approved scope for the City's historic mitigation
documentation purposes.
EXISTING STORM DRAIN SYSTEM
An existing storm drain pipe cuts between and across several of the properties (please see
map below). The City will reserve a 30-foot wide drainage easement over the existing
drainage pipe via the conveying deed. Encroachments into the drainage easement will be
allowed for existing structures within the easement with the exception of the garages in the
back of 2216 Carleton and 2220 Carleton. These garages must be demolished within one
(1) year of closing. All encroachments within the easement will require an Encroachment
Agreement in accordance with City ordinance.
RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE
Any portion of the public right-of-way, City -owned property, or other privately -owned
property that are in any way disturbed or damaged by the redevelopment shall promptly be
restored by the property owner at their cost and expense and in a manner approved by the
City to as good or better a condition as such property was in immediately prior to the
disturbance or damage. The property owner shall diligently commence such restoration
within thirty (30) calendar days following the date that the property owner first becomes
aware of the disturbance or damage.
CONDITIONS OF FUTURE SALE
The successful buyers may sell the properties they purchase, however, the Conditions
provided by the Arlington Heights Design Standards and Guidelines for Redevelopment
and included in the deed will "run with the land" and be binding on subsequent owners.
The City intends to release the Conditions upon successful redevelopment of the properties
in accordance with these design standard and guidelines, except for the following
requirements which will be documented and remain in the deed:
Central Arlington Heights Properties
• Elevation of future habitable structure finished floor elevations at least two feet
above the 100-year non-FEMA base flood elevation;
• M intenance of existing (or reconstructed) fencing of the same type, style, material,
location, alignment, and overland flow hydraulic characteristics;
• Maintenance of existing lot grading without significant changes and without
changing overland flow hydraulic characteristics; and
• Provision of a flood risk notice to future buyers and renters.
Before any house may be occupied, the property owner must obtain all applicable City
permits, including a final inspection, and written confirmation from the City's
Development Services Department that the redeveloped property is in substantial
conformance with these design standards and guidelines.
TIMEFRAMES FOR REDEVELOPMENT
The following timeframes for redevelopment are as follows:
• Each property owner will have four (4) years to either elevate the existing home
and make it habitable or two (2) years to demolish and restore the property to
greenspace;
• If a property is restored to greenspace, there is no deadline to later redevelop the
lot;
• The property owners of 2216 Carleton and 2220 Carleton must demolish the back
garages within one (1) year of closing.

Additional Information
PROPERTY CONDITION
Photos and information regarding each individual property and house can be found in
previous appraisals. Contact the broker for copies of these documents.
Additionally, as a result of water supply line leaks within the houses of 2212 Carleton and
2221 Western, mold was found to be present upon a routine inspection of the houses. As
a means of addressing the mold issue, an assessment report was conducted by Industrial
Hygiene and Safety Technology, Inc. (IHST) on November 30, 2022 to better understand
the extent of mold and the steps necessary for remediation.
Based on the assessment and finding from IHST's inspection and assessment it was
determined that the 2221 Western location was due to a leaky water supply line and only
impacted a small surface area. IHST's recommendation was for the water to be turned off,
and, because the house was not occupied, they deemed the minor mold contamination
posed no severe threat. However, if the house were to be occupied, the mold contamination
would be required to be remediated in accordance with standard mold remediation
protocol. The report is available upon request.
As for the 2212 Carleton, the mold contamination was determined to affect a larger area.
However, because the house was not occupied, IHST's recommendation was the same.
That is, the recommendation was to turn off the water as a temporary measure; however, if
the house were to be occupied, then the mold contamination would be required to be
remediated in accordance with standard mold remediation protocol. The report is available
upon request.
FLOOD INSURANCE
Both government -backed (National Flood insurance Program (NFIP)) and private flood
insurance is available for these structures. The properties are NOT located within a FEMA
mapped 100-year floodplain, however non-FEMA flood risk, called City Flood Risk Area,
has been identified and mapped by the City on these properties.
The City is requiring Elevation Certificates for each of these homes, once elevated,
showing the homes and any equipment serving the homes (such as air conditioners) are
elevated at least two (2) feet above the non-FEMA 100-year base flood elevation.
Elevation Certificates can be used by the property owner and future property owners help
justify lower flood insurance premiums. Once elevated at least two (2) feet above the 100-
year base flood elevation, flood insurance is expected to be cheaper for the structures;
Central Arlington Heights Properties
however, it is recommended that the property owners speak with insurance agents prior to
purchase to understand potential flood insurance premiums.
HISTORIC EXEMPTION
There is a possibility that elevation of the existing structures could qualify for local historic
designation (with the exception of the newer home at 2205 Western) and the ability to have
City ad valorem property taxes frozen for ten (10) years. For more information about this
possibility, please contact the City's Historic Preservation Officer, Lorelei Willett, at
Lorelei.Willett@FortWorthTexas.Gov or 817-392-8015.
