open space is used for various activities, and park land typically has amenities.
Councilmember Muhm questioned staff regarding if the dedication of park land is
more formal. Superintendent Hightshoe replied yes.
Councilmember Wollin questioned staff regarding if the state would then recognize
the acreage of park land versus open space land. Superintendent Hightshoe replied
yes.
City Manager Jennifer Fadden stated the Parks Recreation and Open Space Master
Plan have identified a number of acres of open space identified as public and private.
She further explained the dedication of park land then triggers the State statute that
determines the future of the property and how it is utilized with or without voter
approval. She also explained if the City were to dedicate this property as park land,
then, in the future, the voters would have to approve the selling or releasing of the
property.
City Council Minutes April 2, 2013
Mayor Kelly explained there is already a restriction on this property. He stated this
property is already open space, but to dedicate it as a park, it would then have to
have park-like amenities.
Councilmember Wollin stated the property could stay natural just like the nature
center and still call it a park.
Councilmember Taylor stated it is really the difference between being improved and
unimproved.
Councilmember Wollin stated there is not a safety issue with open space as much as
there is with park land.
Councilmember Muhm questioned Mayor Kelly regarding if the open space located at
the L.D. Lockett House is considered a park or open space. Mayor Kelly replied it is
park land with improvements to the trail.
Councilmember Short questioned Mayor Kelly regarding if the park designation
obligates the City to maintenance. Mayor Kelly replied he would believe so.
Councilmember Muhm stated the property is connected to Kimzey Park therefore
parking could be utilized at Kimzey.
Councilmember Taylor questioned Mayor Kelley regarding what was the property
designated at the time it was requested for the grant. Mayor Kelly replied the
property was designated as open space.
Councilmember Taylor questioned staff regarding who owned the property at that
time. City Manager Fadden replied the Texas Parks and Recreation Foundation
owned it at that time and then dedicated it to the City in 2004 without any
conditions.
Councilmember Taylor stated the City did not actually take title of the property until
2004.
Councilmember Muhm questioned staff regarding the Bransford Trust the property
was in at one time. City Manager Fadden explained the deed records show the
original ownership was two separate development entities, which both deeded it to
the Texas Parks and Recreation Foundation, who then deeded it back to the City.
Councilmember Taylor questioned staff regarding why this property was not platted
totally as Kimzey Park so that we would have known about this when it was
discussed previously. Mayor Kelly explained the property was used as collateral for
the Kimzey Park land.

Councilmember Taylor stated this does not require any action, and he suggested
keeping the property as is.
Councilmember Wollin questioned staff regarding if the zoning of the property needs
to be changed. City Manager Fadden replied the City owns the property but, it could
be initiated, if that is City Council's desire.
Councilmember Muhm questioned staff regarding if platting the property with
Kimzey Park would solve the zoning issue. City Manager Fadden replied platting the
property would not change the zoning.
Councilmembers all concurred it would be a good suggestion to take this to the Park
Board for their consideration as park land.
Councilmember Taylor stated citizens can gain access to the property through the
proposed trail, and parking at Kimzey.

did not received a better deal.

required the rate increase? Mr. Felan replied the aging infrastructure has caused the

projects, and she stated she does voice everyone's concerns at the meetings she
attends.

when the permit is issued.

City Council Minutes April 2, 2013
Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding what a garage sale permit costs. Director
Ruthven replied there are no fees for garage sales.
Mayor Kelly stated the $100 dollars seems a little high but $10 dollars seems a little
low; he stated $25 dollars seems more appropriate. Also, if the requestor will need
more time than the 30 days, maybe there should be a fee assessed for that as well,
versus having to apply to the Zoning Board of Adjustment for the request.
Councilmember Short questioned if the building permit will allow for the use of the
portable storage unit. Director Ruthven replied yes, the requestor would not have to
submit for a temporary use permit, the unit would be allowed under the building
permit umbrella.
Councilmembers concurred on having a staggered fee for requests for time
extensions as well as a maximum time limit.
Councilmember Taylor stated the units are used for a temporary basis and not
necessarily to be stored on site. He stated he wants to keep the neighborhoods
looking proper.
Councilmember Muhm stated being in favor of the 30 day time limit.
Mayor Kelly expressed his concern for the unit being issued under the umbrella of a
building permit, since a building permit is valid for 180 days.
Director Ruthven clarified a storage unit may be on a construction site for the
duration of an existing building permit, however a storage unit, on a non-
construction site, would have a 30 day time limit. He further explained once the
construction is over, the storage unit would have to be removed.
Councilmember Taylor stated unfortunately these types of codes are written for only
10 percent of the population. He questioned staff regarding how the units are going
to be monitored for those persons who are not following these guidelines?
Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding if regulations could be more specific for
remodeling conditions versus new construction. Director Ruthven replied it will be an
addition/alteration permit.
Councilmember Short shared how he used a portable unit in the past.
Councilmember Muhm restated being in favor of a 30 day time limit.
Mayor Kelly stated the 30 day time limit for remodeling is fine, however, there will
need to be a longer time frame for new construction. Director Ruthven stated there
could be a rate structure in place for the 30 day time frame, and then the rate would
increase for days after the maximum time frame.
City Council Minutes April 2, 2013
Councilmember Taylor stated regulations need to be in place to protect the neighbors
who have to put up with a storage unit being placed next door to them. He stated it
becomes an eye sore. Director Ruthven explained code enforcement would be
notified of those who are in violation of this ordinance.
Mayor Kelly stated it would be for 30 days, within 12 months. Director Ruthven
concurred.
Councilmember Muhm questioned Mayor Kelly regarding how staff can enforce if
someone places a unit at their home for three days, and then removes it for three
days, then the unit returns to their home for three days; how will these nine days be
accounted for during the 30 day maximum within a 12 month period? Mayor Kelly
replied it would be difficult.
Councilmember Taylor questioned staff regarding what the other cities are doing; are
the storage unit companies pulling a permit. Director Ruthven replied the
benchmarked cities had no regulations.
Mayor Kelly stated this is a protective measure on those who are not abiding by the
regulations.
Mayor Pro Tem Hart stated sometimes the homeowners are at the mercy of the
contractor regarding such time frames. He questioned staff if there will be a
mechanism in place if there is a need for more than 30 days. Mayor Kelly stated the
storage unit would need to be removed and then returned.
Councilmember Muhm stated the cost of removing and returning the storage unit will
cost the homeowner more.
Councilmember Taylor stated there needs to be more research.
Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding if cementious fiber board is considered
concrete. Director Ruthven replied cementious fiber board is like hardy plank, a firm
board.
Councilmember Taylor stated sometimes the proper foundation is not constructed for
these brick screening walls. Director Ruthven added the language has been added
that all fences must be maintained and installed properly, as to not obstruct drainage
easements.
Councilmember Taylor stated fences need to be installed properly in the beginning.
Mayor Kelly stated the specifications have to be put in place so the person who
installed the fencing can be held accountable for such.
Councilmember Muhm stated he would like the requirements to ensure the storage
units are placed outside of the visibility triangle. Director Ruthven stated there may

be times where that requirement may be problematic. Mayor Kelly stated that would

of-way. Director Ruthven stated he will research it further.
