Benbrook City Council Updates Zoning, Amends EDC Agreementby Keri Houchin

The Benbrook City Council held a regular meeting on Thursday, June 7.Minutes from the meeting held May 17 were approved.

5G Millimeter Wave Technology Benbrook resident Michelle Santarelli gave a presentation on TexasSenate Bill 1004 relating to 5G millimeter wave technology. Last summer,the Texas Legislature passed Texas SB 1004, allowing telecommunicationcompanies to utilize existing public right-of-ways for placement of their net-work nodes for a maximum fee of $250. While the main discussion has beenon finances, Santarelli believes the focus should be on safety. She expressed concerns that the electromagnetic radiation associatedwith 5G could cause damage to plants, animals and humans from DNA dam-age, increases in cancer, infertility, and effects on brain functioning. Shecited the U.S. government using electromagnetic frequencies in crowd con-trol and other countries possibly weaponizing the waves. The “G” in 4G and 5G networks stands for generation. Thus 5G will bethe fifth generation of wireless networks. While 4G networks use frequenciesbetween 3 and 6 GHz, but 5G will likely use extremely high frequencies inthe 30 to 300 GHz range. Santarelli asked that Benbrook City Council lookinto health studies and do research before allowing any 5G nodes to beinstalled within the city.

Planning and Zoning: Audi Dealership City Council adopted an ordinance rezoning a 7.185-acre parcel out ofthe James Rogers Survey, addressed as 7300 SW Loop 820, from PlannedDevelopment District for various specific commercial uses to a PlannedDevelopment District for a proposed Audi new vehicle inventory lot forGroup 1 Automotive, generally located on the north side if I-20/820, betweenHawkins Center Drive and Winding Way. The inventory lot is an integraloperational component of the Audi Showroom and Service Center, which isproposed to be located immediately to the west of the subject site. The pro-posed inventory lot will be used to store only new Audi vehicle inventory tosupport the adjacent Audi dealership. On July 20, 2006, the City Council rezoned the subject parcel from aOne-Family District to Planned Development District (Ordinance 1212).Due to strong opposition from the Ridglea Country Club Estates HomeOwner’s Association, the PD was limited to only allow for the followingrange of commercial uses deemed compatible with adjacent residentialdevelopment: antique shops, barber and beauty shops, book or stationarystores, or newsstands, bicycle shops and bicycle repair shops, blueprintingand photo-stating, dancing schools, care nurseries and kindergartens, healthservice facilities, financial institutions, florist or gift shops, health and phys-ical fitness centers, jewelry stores, optical goods, museums, libraries, finearts centers, community centers, etc., offices, photograph, portrait, or camerashops, musical instruments and supply stores, studios for artists or tailors. While not required as part of this zone change development process, in

early 2018, Group 1 Automotive met several times with members of RidgleaHOA to inform and gather comments regarding their development proposal.The HOA expressed concerns about the visual impact, light pollution andnoise pollution the vehicle inventory development would have on the neigh-boring home owners. To mitigate these concerns, the HOA has asked that thefollowing four elements be added to any zone change approval: 1. Increase the landscape buffer along the eastern property line from 10feet to 20 feet. 2. Allow the masonry screening wall to wrap around existing trees asnecessary to preserve trees located on or near the shared property line. 3. The screening wall shall be an 8-foot tall masonry wall constructed ofintegral color (light beige), split-face concrete masonry unit (CMU) block. 4. All required trees planted within the eastern landscape buffer shall bea minimum of 4 caliper inches dbh and a minimum of 10 feet in height at thetime of planting. Group 1 Automotive has agreed to include all of the HOA’srecommended mitigation measures as development standards within the PDordinance. The property is also partly located within the city’s Naval Air StationOverlay District. The overly prohibits new residential development andrequires greater sound mitigation standards for (continued on page 12)

Housing Channel, a North Texas-based non-profit organization dedicated tohomeownership and neighborhood revitalization, recently expanded the organiza-tion’s programming to include an innovative new affordable housing option forNorth Texas military families who might otherwise be at risk for homelessness. The new program offers veterans and military personnel the opportunity toqualify for a two or three bedroom rental housing unit at the recently-refurbishedHeritage Manor Apartments starting a rate of $895.00 for a two bedroom/twobath. The property is located in White Settlement in northwest Tarrant County. After securing nearly $2 million in federal and foundation grants to supportthe ambitious project, Housing Channel purchased and rehabilitated HeritageManor Apartment, a 40-unit multi-family complex, in partnership with the City ofWhite Settlement and Tarrant County Community Development as part of a city-wide revitalization and affordable housing effort. Other project partners included the Office of Housing and Urban

Development (HUD), who worked with Housing Channel as part of the Housingfor Heroes veterans affordable housing initiative, and the Home DepotFoundation, a long-time Housing Channel supporter which provided materialsand supplies for the construction of the housing development’s numerous ADAamenities. Donna Van Ness, president of Housing Channel, said that the property’s con-dition made Heritage Manor an ideal target for revitalization. “Before we purchased the property, the apartment complex was unoccupiedand in a state of significant disrepair, having previously fallen into foreclosure,”Van Ness explained. “The property’s value had decreased 35 percent in just fouryears, which was in turn contributing to reduced property values and blight for thesurrounding single-family housing neighborhood.” The idea to incorporate a special component for veterans into the HeritageManor effort was inspired in part by the property’s location near the Naval AirStation Joint Reserve Base and a major Lockheed Martin facility. “Additionally, Housing Channel has a long history of assisting veterans withhomeownership and affordable housing, so we immediately saw the possibilitieswhen we took on this project,” said Van Ness. “Our hope is that the program’s suc-cess will motivate other collaborators and funders to come to us with ideas fordeveloping similar supportive housing programs for veterans in other communi-ties in North Texas.”

“A wonderful community” When she needed a new place to live in a hurry, Ashley, a U.S. Army veteran,ran into roadblocks while apartment hunting with her mom. “I am on disability for medical issues so I don’t have a lot of budget for rent,”recalled the 28-year-old mother of two. “Nobody seemed to want to talk to me orhelp me at the apartments I looked at. I was getting nowhere, and then we just hap-pened to drive by the Heritage Manor complex and saw the sign about homes forveterans.” From that point forward, Ashley remembered, her future began to look a littlebit brighter. “The Housing Channel staff were friendly and easy to work with,”she said. “They sat down, got to know me a bit, then helped me get my applicationin. In just a few days, I was approved for the program. A Housing Channel staffmember contacted me as soon as they found out, even though it was in theevening.” Ashley said that fast response to resident needs is just one of the reasons shewould recommend Heritage Manor to other veterans. “The apartments have plen-ty of room, the area is quiet, and the location is very convenient—especially formy kids, who can walk to a neighborhood school and have plenty of other kidsnearby to play with,” she said. Most of all, Ashley said she appreciates the fact that Heritage Manor is home,not just a place to live. “It’s a real community here,” she said. “People know eachother, help each other, and get along.”

Player Feature: BMHS Danika Washingtonby John English

Danika Washington (center) accomplishedsomething remarkable when she won BenbrookHigh School/Middle School's first state champi-onship in school history. Perhaps even more remarkable is the fact thatshe is just a freshman. “Danika is a once in a lifetime athlete thatevery coach would be lucky to have,” coachAshley Rodriguez said. “Watching her compete atthe middle school level the last two years had meexcited for her future. Coming in this year, I hadhigh expectations for Danika. I actually toldanother athlete that we would be competing at the

state track meet this year.” Washington won the 400 meter event with atime of 57.08 seconds at state, a personal recordand time that Rodriguez said she worked very hardto improve. “She worked out twice a day the entire trackseason,” Rodriguez said. “I knew she was capable.Going into district, her fastest time of the year wasa 59.19, but that was the first meet of the seasonand she hadn’t touched it again. At District, shecould run that time and still come away with a win,which is what she did. Going to area, we knew shewas going to have competition, and she was goingto have to run her best race. I was a little concernedwith the quick turnaround, but Danika rose to theoccasion and ran her fastest time again, with a59.08.” At region, Rodriguez said she and Washingtontalked about her “just qualifying to the finals,” butalso getting to get a decent lane. “Well, Danika is too competitive to lose, so shequalified first in to the finals with her fastest timeof the year at 57.59,” Rodriguez said. In spite of running her best of time of the sea-son at state, Washington was not entirely satisfiedwith the season as a whole, saying she felt shecould have done better in her last race. “I was happy with how much I won and howmuch I improved each race,” Washington said.“But I was disappointed I didn't run a 56 to end theseason.” With a state championship under her belt, how-ever, Washington will likely be viewed as a teamleader even next season (her sophomore year),which the Benbrook athlete welcomes. “I feel like it's something I can do, and I'mhappy to have that role,” Washington said. Rodriguez said that Washington's accomplish-ment was a was a major boon for the Lady Bobcatsprogram. “We have been a pretty competitive track pro-gram in our short years of existence, but I feel likeshe pushed the other athletes to be better,”Rodriguez said. “She gave them a reason to pushharder in practice... I am excited for the future ofour track program. I think Danika being a statechampion has put Benbrook on the map.”

Bryant Irvin Commercial Development, LP. The Benbrook EDC sold the 2.03-acre property at 8501 BenbrookBoulevard to Mr. Steve Hawkins, S.J. Bryant Commercial Development, LP,in January 2015. The sales contract requires that Mr. Hawkins construct arestaurant “shell” as part of the mixed-use Gateway Center development, andto make every effort to recruit a sit-down restaurant with alcohol sales at thislocation. In 2017, the Benbrook EDC board of directors and Benbrook CityCouncil approved an Economic Development and Performance Agreementwith S.J. Bryant Irvin Commercial Development, LP, (Steve Hawkins) to payfor targeted infrastructure that promotes new or expanded business enter-prise. An amount of $350,000 was made available as reimbursement to SteveHawkins for infrastructure expenses related to developing an appropriatecommercial site suitable for a full-service restaurant. Reimbursement ofinfrastructure expenses allows Mr. Hawkins to incentivize site improvementsto recruit a desirable restaurant tenant. Staff has worked closely with Mr.Hawkins’ real estate listing agent to recruit a desirable restaurant tenant.Both staff and the agent have actively and diligently pursued numerousnational chain and local restaurants, and have followed every lead to securea desirable tenant. While there have been several desirable restaurants withstrong interest, no lease has been executed to date. A common concernexpressed by potential restaurant tenants is one of uncertainty that the marketwill sustain their business. This new amendment allows repayment of a promissory note dated Dec.13, 2011, with Steve Hawkins in the amount of $266,666.67, currently owedto the EDC, to be made available as an additional incentive at 8501Benbrook Boulevard, for a total of $616,666.67 to be available as an incen-tive for an EDC-approved restaurant. EDC staff and the 8501-listing agentare in negotiation with potential desirable restaurateurs who have expressedthat an additional financial incentive is required to offset their substantialbusiness investment in the market. A public hearing was conducted at theMay 21 EDC regular board meeting, with no public comment regarding thisitem.
