PROJECT: Specific Use Permit for Temporary Construction Facilities
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY: On behalf of Verizon Wireless Texas, LLC, Griffin Harris, PLLC is requesting
approval of a Specific Use Permit for Verizon Wireless for two temporary
construction facilities on property described as Lot 1, Block 1, Solana Addition, an
addition to the City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas and located at 500 W.
Dove Rd. Current Zoning: "NR-PUD" Non-residential Planned Unit Development
District. SPIN neighborhood #1.
DETAILS: This project is located on the north side of W. Dove Rd. between W. S.H. 114 and
W. Kirkwood Blvd. Originally, the applicant requested approval of a Specific Use
Permit for Verizon Wireless to relocate two existing on-site temporary construction
trailers (64 ft. x 24 ft.) from the north side of the building complex to be located
adjacent to the south parking lot on the south side of the building complex. The
current specific use permit for the existing trailers located on the north property will
expire on December 31, 2017. The Specific Use Permit originally was requested
for a period of five (5) years in the proposed new location or in the alternative, at
the current location. In the Narrative, the applicant indicated that continued facility
construction required the construction trailers to be on the site.
At the September 21, 2017 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, t he two
construction trailers were proposed to be relocated on an approximately 155 ft. by
40 ft. concrete pad. Two (2) lay down areas, north and south of the construction
trailers, would each be approximately 38 ft. by 48 ft. and 40 ft. by 40 ft.,
respectively. The existing temporary construction trailers would maintain the
photographic building wraps that were placed on the trailers in the previous specific
use permit request under ZA15-009. A chain-link construction fence with brown
screening fabric was proposed to surround the two lay down areas. The proposed
location for the two temporary construction trailers, concrete pad, and two laydown
areas would necessitate the removal of 11 (89 caliper inches) trees and will require
tree protection fencing for 16 trees near the trailers and in and near the lay down
areas. The applicant proposed to mitigate the removed trees (89 caliper inches)
with 37 trees (122 caliper inches) that include Live Oak, Cedar elm, Red Oak,
Magnolia, Eldarica Pine, Red Bud, and Eastern Red Cedar trees. The proposed
tree mitigation would be located between the proposed temporary trailers and the
SH114 access road adjacent to the trailers. Additionally, 39 Eleagnus shrubs would
be planted on the west side of the temporary trailers.
Since the September 21, 2017 Planning and Zoning Commi ssion meeting, the
applicant has revised their application to request a 3-year extension for the existing
Department of Planning & Development Services

two construction trailers and that they remain “as is” in their current location north of
the building.The trailers will still maintain the photographic building wraps. The
applicant is requesting a continuation of the existing variance to the required
landscaping for the trailer foundation due to the distance from the edge of the
property and due to existing heavy landscaping adjacent to the trailers.
VARIANCE
REQUEST: The applicant is requesting a continuation to the variance to the specific use permit
requirement to provide foundation landscape planting consisting of one (1) five -
gallon shrub per four (4) linear feet around skirting (excluding entrances).
ACTION NEEDED: 1) Conduct a Public Hearing
2) Consider a Specific Use Permit Request

TREE PRESERVATION COMMENTS:
1. There are two (2) existing native trees (#118, #119) shown to be preserved within the north
Temporary Staging Location. If the intent is to grade, and store equipment within the Temporary
Staging area than that is altering the trees shown to be preserved.
ALTER; ALTERS; ALTERATION: Any act which causes or may reasonably be expected to cause
a tree to die, including but not limited to, any of the following: uprooting any portion of the tree’s
root system; severing the main trunk of the tree; inflicting damage upon the tree’s root system by
machinery, storage of materials, or the compaction of soil above the root system of a tree;
changing the natural grade of the critical root zone of a tree or uphill from the critic al root zone of
the tree so as to divert the flow of water to or away from the critical root zone; applying herbicidal or
other lethal chemicals to the tree or any portion of the critical root zone of the tree; placement of
impermeable material over any portion of the critical root system of a tree; and trenching within the
critical root zone. A protected tree shall be considered to be altered if one or more of the following
occurs: more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the critical root zone is adversely affected, more
than twenty-five percent (25%) of its canopy is removed, or the tree is disfigured to the extent a
reasonable person would conclude the tree will not survive.
2. There is a typo on the Tree Conservation Plan. Tree #116 is labeled as #115. There are two
labeled #115.
LANDSCAPE COMMENTS:
1. The submitted letter states that trees will be added between the highway and the trailers. A
hedgerow of shrubs is also required to be placed around the perimeter of the trailers. Please
submit a landscape plan showing the existing landscaping within the area and the landscaping that
