Councils, evidences the following:
WHEREAS, Mesquite operates a municipal composting facility (the “Facility”) within

materials for the use by Mesquite and its residents; and
WHEREAS, Mesquite’s Facility is capable of handling a greater volume of such
materials than is presently being handled; and
WHEREAS, University Park desires to utilize Mesquite’s Facility on an “as needed”

WHEREAS, V.T.C.A., Government Code, Section 791.001 et seq., allows an interlocal
agreement between University Park and Mesquite for these purposes.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and further consideration of the
mutual promises, covenants and conditions herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

conditions hereinafter set forth.
II.

to Mesquite, which will allow for measurement in cubic yards, as the rates will be based on the
total volume of cubic yards delivered. University Park further agrees to provide Mesquite with
an estimate of the projected volume of materials which will be delivered annually by University
Park and understands that this estimate shall not be considered by Mesquite to be a guarantee

and all materials that Facility operating personnel determine is not suitable for composting

IV.
As consideration for University Park’s use of the Facility and so long as such use is

exclusive and sole property of Mesquite and shall be used, distributed, and/or sold as deemed
appropriate by, and within the discretion of, Mesquite. A limited quantity of processed

Clark and Tommy Stewart, City Attorney Rob Dillard, Director of Finance Kent Austin, Director of
Public Works Bud Smallwood, Assistant Director of Public Works Jacob Speer, and City Secretary
Liz Spector. Mayor Dick Davis was excused.
4:00 - 5:00 P.M. WORK SESSION FOR AGENDA REVIEW COUNCIL CONFERENCE ROOM,
2ND FLOOR, CITY HALL.
Staff met to brief the Council on the items on the agenda. Director of Finance Kent Austin
reviewed the bid award for utility parts with the Council. He stated the items are parts that are held
in inventory by the City’s Warehouse Division for use throughout the year. Chief Adams discussed
a request to conduct a 5k run on certain City streets with the Council. He said he had some
concerns about traffic and safety issues due to the time of the event. He said the race organizer will
be present at the meeting and suggested this item be discussed under the Main Agenda rather than
as a Consent Agenda item. Director of Community Development Robbie Corder discussed the
proposed amendment to PD-10. He mentioned that the developer requests to reduce the size of the
gross floor area of the building nearly by half. Mr. Corder said that although this building is in the
City of University Park, it is not in the Highland Park School District so children who reside in the
development will have no impact on the district. He also mentioned that P & Z unanimously
recommended approval of the PD and stated that the developer will be present for questions during
the meeting.
The Regular City Council Meeting was called into session at 5:00 p.m. in the Council Chamber at
City Hall. Present were Councilmember Stewart, Mayor Pro Tem Grable, Councilmember Clark,
and Councilmember Begert. Also in attendance were Acting City Manager Austin, and City

of Public Works Bud Smallwood, City Secretary Liz Spector, Director of Community
Development Robbie Corder, Director of Parks Gerry Bradley, Assistant to the City Manager
George Ertle, Assistant Director of Public Works Jacob Speer, Director of Human Resources
Luanne Hanford, and Fire Chief Randy Howell.
Councilmember Clark requested to remove Item B, a request from the Friends of the Lost Boys to
conduct a 5k race, from the Consent Agenda and consider separately with the Main Agenda items.
Approval of this item awards contracts for Bid #12-03 to Aqua Metric, B2O Environmental,
HD Supply, Morrison Supply, Municipal Waterworks Supply, and MSC Waterworks in the
estimated annual total amount of $441,874.40 for the purchase of utility parts on an annual
contract basis. These parts are stocked by the Warehouse for issue to the Utilities Division
for the repair and maintenance of the City’s water and wastewater infrastructure. The awards
establish a one-year initial contract period with an optional one-year renewal.
Councilmember Begert made a motion to approve Consent Agenda items A and C. Councilmember
Stewart seconded, and the motion carried unanimously.
Director of Community Development Robbie Corder addressed the Council regarding a
request to amend the detailed site plan for PD-10, commonly referred to as Johnson Square.
He displayed an aerial view of the 2.3 acre site. Mr. Corder mentioned that this site is
located in the only portion of University Park east of Central Expressway, and is surrounded
by commercial properties.

II. CONSENT AGENDA
A. CONSIDER AND ACT: on award of Bid #12-03, Annual Contract for Utility Parts
C. CONSIDER AND ACT: on minutes of the April 3, 2012 City Council Meeting
III. MAIN AGENDA
A. PUBLIC HEARING: on a request to consider a detailed site plan amending Planned
Development District PD-10, to develop the subject site for multi-family, restaurant, retail,
office and personal services in a single building with a maximum building height of 80 feet.
The subject tract is zoned PD-10 and located on the southeast corner of Fondren Drive and
US Highway 75 and situated at 6400 North Central Expressway in the City of University
Park, Dallas County, Texas.
Page 46 of 71
Mr. Corder said the existing PD-10 allows for a 220 foot multi-story building, with a gross
floor area not to exceed 425,000 sf. Mr. Corder said this PD and site plan was approved by
the Council in 2008.
Mr. Corder said the property owner has submitted a request to modify the PD and site plan.
He said they would like to construct a building to include approximately 238 multi-family
dwelling units with a maximum height of eighty ft. (80 ft.). He said they plan to include
retail and restaurant space for the existing Cafe Brazil and office and leasing space.
Mr. Corder said the proposal reduces the gross floor area of the building to 241,000 sf, and
sets the highest occupied height at forty-eight feet (48 ft.)
Mr. Corder said there are also new setback requirements which are reflected on the site plan.
He said the front yard setback along the Central Expressway frontage is twenty feet (20 ft.)
for 90% of the frontage, with the remaining frontage having a setback of fifteen feet (15 ft.)
to accommodate a small area for the leasing office.
He said the building has a twenty foot (20 ft.) setback from the alley, with the eastern portion
tapering from twenty-one feet (21 ft.) to seven feet (7 ft.). He said the ground floor set back
on Fondren is fourteen feet (14 ft.), with floors two and above having a ten foot (10 ft.)
setback.
Mr. Corder stated notices were mailed to the nine properties within the 200 ft. buffer and one
response was received stating no opposition.
He also mentioned that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended unanimous
approval of the amendment at the March 13 public hearing.
Councilmember Begert asked about the ratio of multi-family units. Mr. Corder said the
developer did not want to include specifics as to how many of each size of multi-family units
to allow for some flexibility. He said the maximum number of units is 238. Mr. Corder said
the most important detail from a staff perspective is that parking requirements are met. He
said the requirement is one parking space per bedroom and this will be verified by staff
during the permitting process.
There were no more questions or comments and Mayor Pro Tem Grable closed the public
hearing.
Councilmember Stewart made a motion to approve an ordinance approving a detailed site
plan for Planned Development District PD-10. Councilmember Clark seconded, and the
motion carried unanimously.
Mayor Pro Tem Grable said the Council discussed concerns about safety of the participants
and the time of day of the race during the work session. He said it was the opinion of the
Council to table consideration of the race request until Chief Adams speaks to the race

B. CONSIDER AND ACT: on a request by Friends of the Lost Boys to conduct a 5K benefit

organizer further. He said they may consider referring the request to the Public Safety
Advisory Committee.
Ms. Dawn Barnett, the race organizer and president of the Friends of the Lost Boys
Foundation, addressed the Council. She stated 100% of the funds that will be raised from
this event go to the Lost Boys and help with community college tuition, and
emergency rent and food assistance. She said the foundation also provides the young
men with mentors.
Mayor Pro Tem Grable said he understands that her organization supports a very good
cause, but the Police Chief and Council share concerns about the considerable traffic along
University Blvd. during the time of day she plans to hold the race. He says the route maps
shows participants will cross University Blvd. at two points during the race.
Mayor Pro Tem Grable mentioned that Chief Adams asked if Ms. Barnett would consider
changing the time of the race to a mid-morning start.
Chief Adams asked Ms. Barnett to meet with him before the next Council Meeting to work
out details and said he will present the request to the Council again at the May 1, 2012 City
Council Meeting.
There were no additional requests to address the Council and Mayor Pro Tem Grable adjourned the
meeting.
Considered and approved this 1st day of May, 2012.

AGENDA MEMO
15nnol r AGE~A)
Honmble Mayor and City Council
FROM: Gene R Smallwood, P.E.; Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: CONSIDER AND ACT: on an ordinance requiring inspection of private construdion
within the City's rights-of-way
Most amsmction projects within the public righ-f-way have been performed by City staff or by
contractors working directly for the City. Drrring the past year bowevm, several projects have been
designed and bdt by the private sector (i.e., George W. Bush Foundation, SMU, and etc.) along City
streets and alleys. To insure oompliance with all codes and specifiations, the City must provide
inspection of the constmction. This is comparable to r building Qofltractor constructing a new home
with the City providing inspection of the framing, plumbing, HVAC, and etc. The Code
Qadinances cumntly requim cmtractm to apply for and wive a building perrnit and the City wiH
then conduct requisite inspections.
The attached ordinance amends the Code to requite a building permit for private work within the
City's rights-of-way and for the City to perform the nmsmy inspctions. lbc fee for the permit,
pPoposed to be tw~perceat of the value of the consmtion, would defer some of the mts in
providing the ~WS.
OMMENDATION:
Staff recommends City Couracil approval of the attached ordinance.

MEMORANDUM

RECEIVED
WOV~lton
To: Chief Adams
From: Captain Holman
Re: Change In Fee Schedule
Qver the past several years University Park used Hillside Animal Clinic for impoundment of animals. On all
impounds and quarantines University Park charges a one time Pmcessing/Administratk fee of $15.00 In
addltion to any other associated fees. This worked well enough while using Hillside Animal Clinic as they are
located only a short distance from our city limits. Hillside Animal Uinic notified us, in writing, that effective
September 30,2011 they would no longer serve University Park as a holding facility.
Every animal clinic in Dallas and the surrounding area was contacted. East Dallas Veterinary Clinic was the
only clinic that agreed to take animals from University Park. We are having a good working relatlon with East
Dallas, but they are located ten (10) miles, twenty miles round trip, from University Park. Because of the
addltlonal mlles involved I am recommending that University Park increase the current $15.00
Prc#essing/Administrative fee to $25.00. This would off-set some of the cost of driving the additional
mileage.
I would further recommend that University Park change the animal quarantine fee from $30.00 per day to
$50.00 per day. This will Iceep University Park comparable to other clinics and holding facilities in the DFW
area.
It should be noted that East Dallas Veterinary Clinic closes at 2:OOpm on Saturday, If an impounded animal is
not picked up by 2:OOpm on Saturday the clinic will charge University Park an additional day of holding.
Communications should be aware of this and charge the animal owner appropriately.
