ITEM #3 DISCUSSION – Review, discuss and make recommendations on the
Ferguson Place development proposing 2 single family residential lots on
approximately 1 acre located at 2589 and 2593 Lonesome Dove Avenue.
Staff presentation: Ken Baker
• Proposed rezoning of two tracts from “AG” Agriculture District to Residential
Planned Unit Development “RPUD” for the creation of two residential lots that
would become part of a 30-lot subdivision in the City of Grapevine called
“Ferguson Place”.
• The two tracts total 45,301 square feet
• Future Land Use: Low Density Residential
• The applicant will be requesting a zoning change with the City of Grapevine to R-
7.5 zoning (7,500 s.f. lots) for the 15 acres located in the Grapevine City limits
• The neighborhood is proposed for 30 lots with 28 lots in Grapevine a nd two lots
located in Southlake
• The City of Southlake zoning request to achieve this lot configuration will be to
rezone the property (2 tracts) from “AG” Agriculture District to Residential
Planned Unit Development “RPUD” and request a variance to the 10% open
space requirement
Questions for staff by the Committee:
N/A
Applicant presentation: Kosse Maykus
• 8 different tracts assembled over 10 years - 2 outliers in Southlake
• Zoned AG
• Request RPUD - understand it requires 10% open space
o Dedicating open-space park as part of concept - 100 acres of corps
easement land
• Roadway easement - built to Southlake standards
• 2 lots in Southlake by full-size Southlake dedicated roadway
• Placing approx. 38% of development in open space
Questions for applicant by the Committee:
Kathy Talley: Where is there access to the road next to the proposed development?
Applicant: 30ft gravel road – private.
Kathy Talley: So, the residents have access it?
Applicant: Yes, the same access as they have today. 15ft of the access on these lots.
The fence will be placed on the edge of the easement. Big efforts to secure easement.
Chad Patton: Asking for RPUD? Variance for open space?
Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #3 – Ferguson Place
Meeting #32 – June 2, 2021 Page 4
Applicant: Yes.
Gina Phalen: Who's responsibility is it to maintain access easement?
Applicant: People on the property who own it. No municipal responsibility.
Amy Torres-Lepp: Portion owned by City of Southlake then extends to City of
Grapevine?
Applicant: Portion under Southlake ownership, the other portion is picked up in
Grapevine/Colleyville.
Kathy Talley: These two houses at the front, are they designated for Carroll schools?
Applicant: All the houses will be Carroll Schools and some Grapevine .
Gina Phalen: Green space - is it flood way or flood plain?
Applicant: Neither it’s Corps easement. Difference between the three.
Daniel Kubiak: Describe what it will look like from Lonesome Dove? Hopefully no large
masonry wall along that property line.
Applicant: No, we will create a 50ft landscape area. Very subtle, no masonry wall.
Daniel Kubiak: Material will be wrought iron?
Applicant: No final design yet, but it will not be masonry wall. Potentially a combination
of masonry and wrought iron, maybe. We still don't know which direction the 1st house
would face.
Daniel Kubiak: Probably angle the 1st house inside rather than outside.
Applicant: We do want a sense of an entry feature. No castle-like structures. I assume
you would rather not have a masonry structure.
Daniel Kubiak: Correct, we are trying to encourage an older open feel - the less
masonry the better.
Daniel Kubiak: Initial feedback from City of Grapevine?
Applicant: We have met with the City of Grapevine numerous times, we are inclined
with what the neighbors want, and we are complying with comprehensive plans.
Amy Torres-Lepp: Fine with zoning change – good job beautifying the neighborhood.
Good to keep lots bigger. I agree with Dan, less masonry along the corridor the better.
Also agree to have first house face inward instead of outward. Any drainage issues?
Applicant: We want water to reach the park and fill pond feature. 2 or 3 curb inlets in
development. Drains fast, great soil that's sandy. Do not foresee any drainage issues.
Michael Springer: Regarding the park, there is no area designated for parking.
Understand this park might be for neighborhood use only, but also assume this park will
be open to the public. Will there be parking?
Applicant: Not trying to develop something for people to drive to.

Chad Patton: I know this is Grapevine property, but for the folks living along the gravel
road, will they have access to the park?
Applicant: Yes. We are hoping to have a sidewalk by the open-space feature. Hope to
not fence this park at all.
Randy Robbins: We mentioned the land-swap deal, I’m trying to figure out why this
doesn’t feel like an option, because it does feel like an option to take 22 and 21 and
switch them around so you have a closed in neighborhood on the Grapevine side. Then
1-acre lot on Lonesome Dove, which would be more in line with intentions to do.
Ken Baker: There could be a swap of the properties to the south, if that is something
City Council is interested in. It is an option, but we must ensure we get 100ft frontage to
meet our zoning regulations along the street. That could be a consideration.
Randy Robbins: I do not like that the entirety of the street is taken up by Southlake
land. This eats up as much of the two Southlake lots as possible. I know we are fighting
to keep lots sizes as big as possible in town, especially on that side of SH 114. I
assume there are issues splitting a road between Grapevine and Southlake?
Applicant: We investigated the land-swap deal, and it took a long time. It is a very
difficult process that involves every taxing jurisdiction and franchise utility entity. That is
why we came up with this idea, it is a simplistic solution.
