Questions for applicant by the Committee:
Daniel Kubiak: Quite an update and exactly what we needed, thank you. 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 6
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

Meeting #33 – August 23, 2021 Page 7
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.
