RE: Fireplug Inn Expansion
Dear Mr. Jones,
Homeyer Engineering, Inc. is producing the site plan for the proposed expansion of the
Fireplug Inn, a facility providing specialized daycare, grooming, and hoteling services for
small dogs.
The project site is located at 2251 E. Continental Boulevard in Southlake, Texas. The
land is currently platted into two lots, Lots 3R11 R1 and 3R11 R2 of the Green Meadow
Subdivision, C.B. McDonald Survey, Abstract No. 1013, Tarrant County Texas. These
lots will be replatted into a single lot, Lot 3R11 R3, by minor plat. The project site is
separated from the frontage of Continental Boulevard by an existing building. The
proposed work is not visible from the City right-of-way.
In order to meet rising demand for the Fireplug Inn's services, the owner wants to build
an additional 2,803 square foot wing to the existing building to provide additional
grooming and doggie daycare space as well as a 3,400 square foot fully fenced
exercise yard.
Site, demolition, grading, and drainage plans necessary to show design intent and
compliance with City requirements are included in this submittal.
The proposed addition receives water and wastewater services through the existing
building. Water and/or wastewater design plans are not included as part of submittal.
The exercise yard will be fenced with a synthetic composite material fence, Trex
Seclusions Composite Fencing (or approved equivalent)(see attached) in a shade of
earth brown to match the existing synthetic composite material fence.
A tree conservation plan and a landscape plan are included as per City requirements.
Color architectural renderings of the proposed elevations are included as per City
requirements.
At this time, we do not anticipate requesting or requiring any zoning variances.
Sincerely,
HOMEYER ENGINEERING, INC.
