PROJECT: Plat Revision for Lots 8R1 and 8R2, Block 1, Moss Farms EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY: Four Peaks Development, LLC is requesting approval of a Plat Revision for Lots
8R1 and 8R2, Block 1, Moss Farms an addition to the City of Southlake, Tarrant
County, Texas located at 1505 Moss Ln., Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning: “SF-
1A” – Single Family Residential District. SPIN Neighborhood #4.
DETAILS: The existing Moss Farms residential subdivision is located on the south side of
Dove Road approximately 1,100 feet west of N. Kimball Avenue.
The purpose of this request is to take one existing platted lot and subdivide it into
two lots. The Final Plat for Moss Farms was approved by the Planning & Zoning
Commission with thirteen residential and two open space lots in September 2015.
The following year, an Amended Plat was administratively approved and filed that
took the existing Lots 8 and 9 and created one lot designated as Lot 8R. The
proposed Plat Revision request is to take the existing Lot 8R and subdivide it back
to its original form and designate the lots as 8R1 and 8R2. The proposed lots are
dimensioned exactly the same as the originally approved Lots 8 and 9 by both of
the previously approved Preliminary and Final Plats for Moss Farms.
ACTION NEEDED: 1) Consider Approval of a Plat Revision

SOUTHLAKE 2030 PLAN: Consolidated Future Land Use Plan
The site is designated “Low Density Residential”, which specifies single
family detached dwellings at a net density of one or fewer dwelling units
per acre. The proposed plat revision is consistent with this designation.
Mobility & Master Thoroughfare Plan
The Mobility and Master Thoroughfare Plan shows E. Dove Rd. to be a two
lane undivided arterial with 88’ of right of way. Adequate right of way was
dedicated on the approved final plat for Moss Farms.
Pathways Master Plan & Sidewalk Plan
The Pathways Master Plan and Sidewalk Plan shows a <8’ sidewalk along
E. Dove Rd. adjacent to Moss Farms subdivision and a >=8’ multi-use trail
along the north side of E. Dove Rd. Four foot (4’) sidewalks are required
along the street frontage of all lots in the subdivision. The proposed plat
revision is consistent with this requirement.
TRANSPORTATION
ASSESSMENT: Traffic Impact
A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was not required for this plat.
TREE PRESERVATION: The Tree Preservation Analysis presented with the Final Plat approval
showed approximately 55% existing tree cover on the site, so Tree
Preservation Ordinance No. 585-D requires a minimum of 50% of the
existing canopy to be preserved. The developer is proposed to preserve a

minimum of 50% of the existing tree caliper inches at the time of
construction plan submittal so that the development as a whole meets the
50% required to be preserved. Each lot will be assigned a minimum
percentage of tree preservation calculated by caliper inches. Each builder
is required to preserve the assigned minimum percentage of tree caliper
inches to comply with the 50% canopy coverage or approval of a Variance
to the Tree Preservation Ordinance by City Council will be required.
UTILITIES: The property will be served by an existing 12” water line and an 8” sewer
line in E. Dove Rd.
