Questions for staff by the Committee:
Gina Phalen: Once annexed, will this property have access to city utilities, or will they
need septic?
Jerod Potts: Currently there is not sewer connection at this site; therefore, they would
need to be on septic. There is water available to the site.
Chad Patton: Floodplain slide - light blue is 500-yr floodplain? Orange is 100-yr?
Jerod Potts: Correct
Chad Patton: Do we have an image of the lots on top of this floodplain map?
Jerod Potts: We do not. Curtis can speak towards that.
Frances Scharli: Burney Lane is going to be the only access?
Jerod Potts: That is correct.
Applicant presentation: Curtis Young
• 100-yr and 500-yr floodplain by Lake Grapevine
Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #5 – Burney Estates
Meeting #28 – August 31, 2020 Page 4
o Green lines/shaded area on floodplain slide – 572 contour that builds up
into the site
• Located off Burney Lane
• No sewer north off intersection at Carroll and Burney Lane
• Approx. 13.2 acres
o Net density is 0.61 units per acre
• Adjacent to Corps of Engineer property
o Major factor = 572 flowage easement
o Full buildable 1-acre lots outside the 572-flowage easement to comply
with City regulations
• Already held two neighborhood meetings with people on Burney Lane
• Must have access off Burney Lane
o Lot 1 part of subdivision but will not be re-platted. It will remain part of
Harbor Oaks Estates
• Access easement to access property on the backside of those lots along Burney
Lane
• Spoke with Corps of Engineers - no issues with access; there is Corps flowage
easement that we have worked out already
o Intend to comply with all regulations from the Corps of Engineers, as well
as City of Southlake
• Major issue with neighborhood – Trees
o 91% tree coverage currently - save at least 30% of canopy (City
regulation)
o Saving 50% canopy (minimum)
• We will cut the roads and allow the builders to do custom grading for custom
homes
• Avg. lot size of an acre-and-a-half
Questions for applicant by the Committee:
Chad Patton: All buildable area of the lots is outside of the contour line?
Applicant: That is correct. All about an acre outside the 572-contour line
Chad Patton: Each lot is an acre of buildable space?
Applicant: Yes
Chad Patton: With access easements, will there be a site entry?
Applicant: There will be an understated entry sign. Not a large one. A sidewalk will lead
to access. Entry will be minimalist.
John Huffman: Do you have a builder on board?
Applicant: We have several lined up, very reputable. This will be typical custom home
build. These will be $2 million plus houses.
Shawn McCaskill: I like the math, 8 lots on 13 acres is good. I would like to see an
option with more of an entry feature or sign. Providing options would be best chance to

get something through the process. Check with neighbors, they are the most important
people to speak with.
Applicant: Will do.
John Huffman: You are asking for this drive to remain public?
Applicant: It will be a private access easement, but we are not proposing a gate at this
time.
Daniel Kubiak: Thank you for not presenting a gate and for already talking to the
neighbors beforehand. If this development wasn’t an R-PUD, would you be able to get
the same number of lots on the property?
Applicant: With straight zoning we could get more, but we thought 8 lots looks good on
the property. So, it could be done with more but that is why we went with R-PUD zoning
(to get fewer lots).
Chad Patton: Streetlights?
Applicant: I think that is required, will need to have some streetlights.
John Huffman: 5-foot sidewalks?
Applicant: That is what we are proposing. That is why we went with a smaller road
section, to tread lightly on the trees. Smaller road section allows us to save as many
trees as possible. We are prepared either way to construct or not construct sidewalks.
John Huffman: Conceptually it looks good.
Chad Patton: Lot 1 is already taken?
Applicant: We are buying lot 1 for the access, but it is still a platted lot in Harbor Oaks
subdivision. Essentially, were getting the easement across it to open the back.
Applicant: Recommendation for sidewalks? Yes/no?
Chad Patton: There seems to be a push for more sidewalks in this community, but I
would recommend leaning heavily on the demand of the neighborhood.
Daniel Kubiak: I am curious for neighborhood feedback. I recommend you see what
they say. Might help with tree preservation.
