Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #1 – Residential Subdivision – FM 1709 Meeting #11 – August 7, 2017 Page 3 ITEM #1 DISCUSSION – Proposed 36-acre residential development with 64 lots and 10.75 acres of open space located south of Southlake Blvd. (FM 1709):  Staff made presentation to the Committee  Questions for the Staff by the Committee Q: Why was the previous plan denied? A: Size of the lots - there was discussion about the lot configuration without a lot of open space included Q: Was there an issue with the access (with the previous plan)? A: Do not think there were issues as far as the TIA – they were right at the threshold of needing a deceleration lane Q: How many medium density lots could they have? A: Only calls for single family residential development – the PUD zoning establishes a 1.8 dwelling unit per acre maximum density Q: Language about alleyways? A: They are allowed – Carillon has some  A representative of the project made a presentation to the Committee. The following includes comments by the presenter and other representatives of the project: o Lot count has been reduced to 60 lots o Open space around 24% of the property o Custom home building, office in Coppell o Build three types of projects: Luxury patio homes, manor home (4000 -600 SF), generational estates 6000 +SF) o This project will be more of the patio and manor home o Home prices will likely start around $900,000 o Home sizes likely 3000 - 5500 SF o Proposing a gated community o Proposing some zero-lot line homes, not all o Proposing front entry and rear entry o A lot of transitional design o Show varying lot sizes in the plan in case people want to combine lots o Marketing to empty-nesters o Proposing alleyways because it allows for change in the streetscape o HOA documents require trees placed in the backyard (alleyway) o Will have cluster mailboxes o Probably a five-year buildout Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #1 – Residential Subdivision – FM 1709 Meeting #11 – August 7, 2017 Page 4  Questions for the Applicant by the Committee Q: Proposing a gated community – are you subtracting the streets as part of lot coverage? A: Did not count the islands or streets as part of the calculation Q: Do you consider open space park space? A: Yes – up by FM 1709 not as much park space. There is flood plain down on the west where the trail is shown Q: Average lot size shows 15,600 – what is your smallest lot size, and how many are there? A: Smallest lots will be on the west near Watermere – C shaped lots (65' x 140' would be the smallest lot size) Q: The lot labeled "1", what is that? A: Lot included in calculation Q: 1 acre lot included in calculation? A: Yes Q: Lot 1 – part of the development? A: Part of the development but will be sold separately – will not have the same characteristics of the other lots Q: Won't be subdivided later? A: Correct Q: Which portion of the site is medium density? A: Low density to the east, medium density to the west STAFF COMMENT: No density requirement established with the medium density land use Q: How do parks work if it is private? A: Streets included in open space calculation – park fees paid or land dedicated per ordinance. Intent is to have trails included in the proposal as access easements Q: What you are designating as open space is flood plain? A: Correct Q: How much land is flood plain? A: Probably about 4 acres Q: Motivation for gated community? A: We think that some of this will be for the aging population – custom product for empty nester is a product not out there in the metroplex. HOA will take care of yard maintenance on the front of homes, pay for the security as part of dues. Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #1 – Residential Subdivision – FM 1709 Meeting #11 – August 7, 2017 Page 5 Good for empty nesters that want to lock and leave. Want people from other neighborhoods to walk through  Comments by the Committee o Holmes Builders build on their lots o Previous plan did not have curvilinear streets – this plan is a better direction o There is demand for unique custom homes o Looks nice – think there is a density issue with the size of the lots o Fair amount of open space is flood plain which causes a challenge o Lots are small – that is the challenge o Product is very attractive – lot sizes and overall density is where the challenge comes in o Discussion is worth moving forward – if you are not willing to talk about trade-offs you will get 20,000 square foot lots with no variety – in the development regulations you can nail down the concerns o There is a way in the building restrictions as part of the o rdinance to craft that o Codify what the builder says they want to build o Like the entryway better than previous plan o Density is where you will run into a wall o Work with staff to come up with more factual numbers – the more you can say here is how it nets out Council appreciates that (net of flood plain) o Identify your lot sizes RESPONSE: Changing the rhythm of the street Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #1 – Residential Subdivision – FM 1709 Meeting #11 – August 7, 2017 Page 6 STAFF PRESENTATION SHOWN TO COMMITTEE: Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #1 – Residential Subdivision – FM 1709 Meeting #11 – August 7, 2017 Page 7 Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #1 – Residential Subdivision – FM 1709 Meeting #11 – August 7, 2017 Page 8 Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #1 – Residential Subdivision – FM 1709 Meeting #11 – August 7, 2017 Page 9 Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #1 – Residential Subdivision – FM 1709 Meeting #11 – August 7, 2017 Page 10 Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #1 – Residential Subdivision – FM 1709 Meeting #11 – August 7, 2017 Page 11 APPLICANT PRESENTATION SHOWN TO COMMITTEE: Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #1 – Residential Subdivision – FM 1709 Meeting #11 – August 7, 2017 Page 12 Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #1 – Residential Subdivision – FM 1709 Meeting #11 – August 7, 2017 Page 13 Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #1 – Residential Subdivision – FM 1709 Meeting #11 – August 7, 2017 Page 14 Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #1 – Residential Subdivision – FM 1709 Meeting #11 – August 7, 2017 Page 15 Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #1 – Residential Subdivision – FM 1709 Meeting #11 – August 7, 2017 Page 16 Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #1 – Residential Subdivision – FM 1709 Meeting #11 – August 7, 2017 Page 17 Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #1 – Residential Subdivision – FM 1709 Meeting #11 – August 7, 2017 Page 18 Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #1 – Residential Subdivision – FM 1709 Meeting #11 – August 7, 2017 Page 19 Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #1 – Residential Subdivision – FM 1709 Meeting #11 – August 7, 2017 Page 20 Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #1 – Residential Subdivision – FM 1709 Meeting #11 – August 7, 2017 Page 21 Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #1 – Residential Subdivision – FM 1709 Meeting #11 – August 7, 2017 Page 22 Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #1 – Residential Subdivision – FM 1709 Meeting #11 – August 7, 2017 Page 23 Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #1 – Residential Subdivision – FM 1709 Meeting #11 – August 7, 2017 Page 24 Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #1 – Residential Subdivision – FM 1709 Meeting #11 – August 7, 2017 Page 25 Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #1 – Residential Subdivision – FM 1709 Meeting #11 – August 7, 2017 Page 26 Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #1 – Residential Subdivision – FM 1709 Meeting #11 – August 7, 2017 Page 27 Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #1 – Residential Subdivision – FM 1709 Meeting #11 – August 7, 2017 Page 28 Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #1 – Residential Subdivision – FM 1709 Meeting #11 – August 7, 2017 Page 29 Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #1 – Residential Subdivision – FM 1709 Meeting #11 – August 7, 2017 Page 30 Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #1 – Residential Subdivision – FM 1709 Meeting #11 – August 7, 2017 Page 31
