Item 7 - Site Plan Changes
October 15, 2021
Re: Site Plan Changes ‐ Pecan Creek Office Park
Zena Rucker Road
Southlake, Texas
1. Removed the east side dumpster to address the Matthews Court and Timarron residents’
comments.
2. Added cedar tree screening on the east side to address the Matthews Court residents’
comments.
3. Removed the trail on east side to address the Timarron residents’ comments about not
wanting a trail running behind their homes. There is much more community support to
build the future trail on the undeveloped Zena Rucker property at the time of construction,
and prior to homes being put on the site. We are requesting a variance to have no trail from
Zena Rucker Road to south property line.
4. Added a Type “E” 20’ front bufferyard (provided is 25’6” bufferyard) with bermed grass or
landscaping, as an automobile and concrete screening (per 2016 Concept Plan) to address
the Planning & Zoning Commission members’ comments about creating a “concrete jungle”
like neighboring projects and deleted single row parking and drive.
5. Parking is now based on 1:226 for development similar to the Baylor property to the North
of this property, as well as many other office park developments in Southlake. The number
of parking spaces is 93.
6. Reduced the total square footage of buildings to address the Matthews Court residents’ and
Planning & Zoning Commission members’ comments. The percent of site coverage of
developable land dropped from 26% on 2016 Concept Plan to 24%. This is less density than
what was already approved in 2016. Original impervious coverage request was originally
75%. It has now been reduced to 62% (3% less than prescribed code)
7. A variance request for stacking depth on east driveway to be 43’‐9” and on the west
driveway 41’‐0” to allow for more open space from Matthew Court.
8. Building Height has been reduced to 18’0” on building 1 and 17’4” on building 2
9. We have also increased the building setback to the South of Building 1 from 10’ bufferyard
to 44’ building setback/landscaping area to meet the requests of the Timarron residents.
We listened to the input from the stakeholders and tried to create a win‐win scenario for all parties
involved. Removing the retention/detention “pond” will cost over $500,000 and the changes are
necessary to offset this expense. Plus 31,198 square feet of developable land will be recouped in
the process which should be available for additional site coverage.
This plan removes an eyesore from the community, preserves every salvageable tree, displays an
abundance of creative landscaping and features an architectural style inspired by an award‐winning
residence featured on the Summer 2021 cover of Dallas Style & Design Magazine. It will be a first‐
class project that the residents of Southlake can be very proud of.
