FORUMSUMMARY Property Situation: Located at the northwest corner of Southlake Blvd. and Shady Oaks Dr. Development Details: The presenter noted that as it is the project is zoned SF-1A The presenter mentioned that their proposal would be a variation from what the current zoning is The presenter mentioned that the proposal is 53 lots with a minimum of ½ acre that go up to as large as 38,000 square feet. 18 of these lots are in excess of 30,000 square feet. There is 7.6 acres of open space, which is almost 15% of the project The presenter mentioned the large wooded existing home sitewhich is about a1.7 acre lot that is going to remain in the center of the communitybut is not included in the land area calculation–so the density is 1.11 homes per acre The presenter said that currently there is an approved preliminary plat in place on the portion that runs up the middle of the site, which is a 16-acre 1-acre subdivision with those homes being on septic. Have worked with a number of the owners to assemble the entire thing to give a more cohesive solution for this entire thing Presenter mentioned they have already held three community meetings Presented atSPIN: QUESTIONS / CONCERNS: Is the City going to make changes to Shady Oaks so it is not going to be so congested? Shady Oaks is just a two-lane street. Do you know of any plans the City is looking into so there is not going to be a big traffic jam on the light from Shady Oaks to Southlake Blvd. when all this is done? Don’t know personally. Completely understand concern especially with The Marq o coming across the streetthere are a lot of attractions coming to this particular corner. This development as you see it will add cars, part of our project we’ll be completing a traffic impact analysison our site so that we know what is contributing from our end I see there is a green belt on the north side of 1709, what is that? (south side of the project north of 1709) That is all going to be community open space. Have not worked through final o details with engineers and landscape architects. That will be treated in an appropriate way for a project of this magnitude and expense. That will probably include some form of screening walls, stone, entry features, enhanced landscaping. The City requires a 20’ buffer off the right-of-way;the drawing shows a 30’buffer at its narrowest point. Worried about the debris and air pollution with construction. Will the green belt be built ahead of time or after construction is finished? The proposed green belt on the far north side of the property would be one of the o final things built. There are rules and regulations in place to keep dust down Is there any monitoring system to let me know whether it is safe to take a jog outside today or not? In terms of the air quality today because of the construction? Do not know of any type of notification for air quality based on construction o activity in DFW, but I do routinely see ozone alerts or orange days My concern is that it is a right-in right-out to 1709 and anyone not going to Sprouts or Southlake Carroll High School or Wal-Mart is coming my way. Have asked every builder to protect our privacy with at least a 6’ masonry fence. Do not want a wooden fence to maintain. Until I get that agreement, the four Stacy Homes object Confident something will be worked out on the borders that are there. Want to o add that we are not proposing a right-in right-out -that is at an existing median break. The plan moving forward thatis being able to turn both ways Across from the entry off Shady Oaks now lines up with the entry to the new buildingthe City is building in the park.Any traffic going to the park or the new community center or Durham Intermediate is going to use this no matter whether that is a right-in right-out The 14.8 open space, does that include Mr. Stacy’s property or not? It was around 14% open space; it is around 7.286 acres that does not include the o 1.7 acres on Mr. Stacy’s. Is the trail on the road that is going out to Shady Oaks or is that behind the property? The trail mentioned is the far north section between us and the row of homes that o borders us to the north –there is a thin green belt there. There is going to be pedestrian trail easements that run between the pie shaped lots in the corners that meander through so it is a trail system within the community What is the master trail? What could this turn into? The master trail plan probably runs along Shady Oaks, 1709 and if there is a gap o in that we will have to connectit, and it will be connected either on Shady Oaks and 1709 with a gap or possibly connected via sidewalk through our main road only. So what are the next steps? We’ll continue to put our plan together and make sure to address as many o concerns as possible that have been brought up. We work through the steps necessary to take this in front of the Planning & Zoning Commission to try get the zoning we are trying to achieve on this project September, November? Would need to ask. Not sure the schedule. Would love to hit P&Z sometime in o September. Could be October Is the one-acre project still in play? Still think the density is too high SPIN Meeting Reports are general observations of SPIN Meetings by City staff and SPIN Representatives.
