Exhibits presented at SPIN:
QUESTIONS / CONCERNS:
Traffic study? What commercial zoning are you asking for?
Going to conduct traffic study. Full TIA done when the bank came in –will
o
supplement that. Zoning change will be S-P-1 with C-2 uses with the rear
portion restricted to office uses
Doing a new traffic study after school starts?
TIA for bank took in background information –we’ll do the same thing
o
Looking for a drive-through?
Have one building that has a proposed drive-through. Would be restricted
o
to casual dine or fast casual; would not have fast food
Are you excluding or including a coffee shop?
Including a coffee shop
o
Concerned about the traffic on that corner
There is no parking space behind the office buildings? It is office buildings and
open space to the fence line?
Correct
o
How far are the buildings from the fence line?
40 feet
o
There are other places available that are empty –why do we need more office
and retail?
Have done market studies and believe we can be successful there. This
o
portion of town is underserved
Don’t think people would go 1 mile from the Tom Thumb center to Southlake
Town Center?
I’m sure they do
o
When you say there is a forty foot width from the back of the building to the
housing development–where are the dumpsters located?
Won’t be any dumpsters behind the building
o
You said traffic will go out on White Chapel and the cut-out by Southlake Blvd.,
did you say that some was also going to go to the west where the offices for the
medical people are?
There is a cross-access that is stubbed out at this location and it only
o
makes sense to make that connection. Proposing to make that connection
to that complex. It was meant to be connected
Will you widen White Chapel Rd.? What comes from the TIA?
TIAtells improvements you could make. There is no ROW on either road
o
and they are both built to the ultimate according to the Master
Thoroughfare Plan right now. Other than sequencing the lights there is not
much you can do with the cross-section of the pavement
Concerned about the traffic pattern. We get a lot of traffic through there.
Concerned that putting a drive-through there will lead to more accidents.
Concerned about property values.
Only proposing one drive-through
o
Have had a hard time keeping that strip mall across the street –what is going to
make this side any different?
Have a lot of tenants that would like to be here
o
What is going to keep it from eventually looking like further down 1709 where
they are redoing Davis and a lot of those businessesare going out?
That shopping center has ingress/egress issues. You cannot get in and
o
out of it
You don’t think we will have the same problem with this one –getting in and out?
You have the opportunity to lap through –you can go east / west and
o
north / south
