Applicant’s Narrative
Toll Brothers, Inc. Request for a Special Use Permit – Southlake Meadows
Toll Brothers is asking permission to place a temporary sales trailer on Lot 1, Block 4, Southlake Meadows
Phase I and located at 916 Savannah Trail. We ask permission to do so for primarily 2 reasons: 1.) to establish an
on-site marketing and sales presence to increase traffic and sales and grow the community and 2.) to have a
temporary office for our sales staff while we construct our model home. It is vital to our business to be able to
work with prospective clients on–site in the Southlake Meadows community.
Toll Brothers anticipates occupying this temporary sales trailer only while we are in the process of building
our model home, which will be constructed on the lot across the street at 917 Savannah Trail. The typical build
time for our model homes is between 5 to 7 months without any foreseeable issues. Obviously, we are anxious to
have a permanent place to reside during our tenure in Southlake Meadows, so we will work to expedite the process
without sacrificing the quality of the model home. If we had an approval today, I would anticipate a delivery date
of between November - December of 2016.
It is our intent to abide by any and all regulations set forth by the City of Southlake with regard to this
matter. Toll Brothers looks forward to a continuing relationship with the City of Southlake and its governing
bodies.
Timeframe for Specific Use Permit
Assuming that Toll Brothers request for a temporary sales trailer on Lot 1, Block 4, Southlake Meadows
th
Phase I and located at 916 Savannah Trail, is approved at the May 5 Planning & Zoning Meeting and at the May
rd
17th City Council Meeting, we shall commence placement of said trailer on or about May 23, 2016.
It is our intention to remove the temporary sales trailer on or before December 31st, 2016. Once we can
obtain a certificate of occupancy for our model home at 917 Savannah Trail, we will relocate our sales staff there.
At that point, we will remove the temporary trailer and revert the lot back to a residential dirt lot.
