City staff can make this information available to the public. Applicant: It is available now. Daniel Kubiak: I remember the first time through this development was certainly an ambitious design. This concept feels more scalable and achievable in terms of getting something built there. Applicant: These two buildings - this is where the hotel was. Because of COVID and the new Delta Hotel, we are not sure if we can make that a hotel concept. We have talked to them and there is still interest for a hotel. When we come back with the zoning booklet, we would like to make this either hotel or office in case we do not have a market for hotel. Shawn McCaskill: Single-family residential component is hot right now in the market. Single-family residential makes sense. Any time we have a chance to down -size or make something less dense/less intense, that is what the city is interested in. Replacing the lofts with single-family residential is a win/win in that regard and makes sense. What are your plans for phasing? Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #5 — Carillon Parc Meeting #33 — August 23, 2021 Page 5 Applicant: Since we do not know what this will be the first phase will not include this infrastructure. We are planning to phase utilities, roadways, etc. to lock -in the plan with infrastructure. We will also do the park in conjunction with the city. The first vertical construction will be these buildings inside the park and one restaurant. Shawn McCaskill: One other thing — the structure parking. I liked the way you did the covered parking and hid some of the structured parking within the topography. Applicant: Instead of amending the old one, we will just create a brand new one. There are enough differences in the structures themselves and in terms of the amount of parking needed. It will significantly reduce what we asked for previously, because of the reduction in cost. Daniel Kubiak: Keyed in on phasing - no potential delays or staggered start times. If the hotel use goes through, are there usual stipulations that require a full -service type of hotel? Applicant: Absolutely. Shawn McCaskill: It will be a re -zoning? Applicant: The way we plan on doing this is the large zoning packet. All we are going to do is take that old one and redlining/updating it with the changes now. Nothing will change in the requirements for types of construction, etc. Daniel Kubiak: One of the things that helped the process was the consensus and support you had from the surrounding neighbors. Frances Scharli: For the parks, are you saying that 50% maintenance is on the city and 50% is on the developer? Applicant: Yes, even though we are dedicating the full park we are keeping 50% of the maintenance costs. Frances Scharli: Currently, in the neighborhoods when you dedicate a park the HOA pays for the park. Applicant: We can look at that, but the only part that will be the HOA piece is this. Frances Scharli: So, the parks in Town Square, how does the maintenance on those work? Ken Baker: RPI maintains most of it. The city does have a small portion left. As this goes through the process, those conversations can be negotiated. Depends on how City Council wants to structure that agreement to allow flexibility. That will also be a recommendation from the Parks Board. Frances Scharli: Do we have any idea where the library stands with the city? Applicant: The Library recently sent out a survey or study. Maybe one of the City Council members can speak to it? Randy Robbins: TBD Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Meeting #33 — August 23, 2021 Item #5 — Carillon Parc Page 6 Kathy Talley: Yes, TBD. Obviously, we want a Library that serves all our residents. Applicant: Library at this location is a critical component for this development. If the city decides the library cannot be placed here, then its off the table for what we are doing here. The library is a driver and a public use that draws people to this location. Kathy Talley: I was at the initial presentation, which was ambitious but exciting. I love the residences and I'm sure the Carillon folks are excited. From my memory, the previous development talked about more local and "mom/pop" shop retail. Is this still included? Applicant: This building still has retail on the first floor. This building has turned 90 degrees to buffer the highway and service road. If this turns out to be a food hall, we might move these buildings to create more open space for retail components. There could be at -grade retail along the backside of the office building. We still plan on having the unique, small kind of retail options — bakeries, coffee shops, wine stores, etc. Kathy Talley: Traffic studies will be provided later? Applicant: This will be less traffic than before because the amount of retail and restaurant space has decreased significantly. So, traffic will be much better. Amy Torres-Lepp: What are the lot sizes on new residential? And how many? Applicant: 75 single-family residential lots and 22 lofts. I believe the lots are around 9,000 sq. ft. Lots will not be smaller than across the street. Amy Torres-Lepp: I like rendering #2 will at -level parking and the raised nature. I like the Klyde-Warren Park analogy with the topography change — very creative. Randy Robbins: You mentioned if the city elects to not place the library there, this could change or end the development? Applicant: Yes, this is a huge driver for this development. Shawn McCaskill: When is this going to be filed? And what is the timeframe for project submittal? Applicant: Our estimate is to submit the application around mid -September. City Council public hearing will be around mid -November. Trying to get it to the last meeting before the holiday season.

The renderings look great. You guys have approached this project with such thoughtfulness. You've really been intentional about creating something worthy of Southlake. You have gone so far above and beyond and it's obvious you have so much community support, so thanks for all your hard work on this, it is beautiful. Council Member Chris Archer- agreed with councilman Huffman and said "you can tell the thoughtfulness that has been put into it". And " it doesn't look like it competes with town Square_ but is an addition to what will make Southlake an even more attractive destination. Its great to me" Council Member Ronell Smith - "IM a little biased, but I love how grand you made the library look. It looks like something out of this country Its amazing" Mayor Laura Hill - One of the most important things about Carillon is how it affects our city, but it's even more important to have a Regional look at what is happening along the 114 Corridor It is important that this project move forward quickly. I think it's also important to the citizens Southlake that we have the library in this facility. We have been talking about the library since Andy Wambsganss was Mayor, that we wanted to have the kind of library in our city that families looked at as a destination and where we could do incredible programs with both inside and outside opportunities and that you weren't sitting inside, quite frankly, a basement..... libraries have really become a meeting space for communities and to have that where people can have easy access to parking and to keep their little ones under some kind of cover as they move around and to have that outdoor opportunity... it's becoming more of a quality of life issue for our citizens. We have been contemplating that for the last 14 to 15 years and I just want to see it happen fast. Trust has been built and you guys have earned it 100% of citizen comments were in support APPROVED CONCEPT PLAN FOR DISCUSSION AND COMPARISON PURPOSES i r r Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #5 — Carillon Parc Meeting #33 — August 23, 2021 Page 25
