4A. RECOMMENDATION ON SITE PLAN FOR PROPOSED RESTAURANT ADJACENT
TO SUMMIT PARK IN SOUTHLAKE TOWN SQUARE
Director Chris Tribble presented the Site Plan request for a proposed restaurant located
adjacent to Summit Park in Southlake Town Square for Park Board consideration and
responded to questions.
The proposed site plan for the restaurant includes outdoor improvements that will
encroach upon the southwest corner of Summit Park. The modifications may include
installation of terraced walls, or sloped yard area, steps and landscaping to connect the
restaurant's open space ("The Green") to the park.
Frank Bliss, 61 Shannon Court, Southlake Town Square Property Management, spoke
in support of the proposed restaurant and the Site Plan request, and answered
questions concerning the use of the open space and proposed improvements.
The Board discussed the Site Plan request and had concerns about the possible
perception the park area adjacent to the restaurant may not be available to the general
public, and also litter maintenance issues.
APPROVED
A motion was made to recommend the Site Plan request for the proposed restaurant
adjacent to Summit Park in Southlake Town Square with two added caveats; 1) trash
does not become a burden on the City from the restaurant; and 2) there is adequate
signage so that people understand the park is a public place.

4B. RECOMMENDATION ON PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE SOUTHLAKE 2030
PARKS, RECREATION & OPEN SPACE / COMMUNITY FACILITIES MASTER PLAN
Director Chris Tribble presented proposed amendments to the Southlake 2030 Parks,
Recreation & Open Space/Community Facilities Master Plan and was available to
answer questions.
The Board discussed the proposed amendments to the Plan and offered the following
suggestions:
• Clarification needed to Page 413-28, "Demand Based Needs," summary
paragraphs 1-3, clarifying statements pertaining to land needed to fulfill athletic
field requirements
• Add language to Page 413-93 (P19), "Implementation Metric," to require signage
to designate area as public park property
Concern was also expressed regarding Page 85, Item #6, last sentence, "This lawn
space would preserve a footprint for a hotel conference center expansion/performing
arts space if ever needed." Staff provided further explanation of the statement.
The Board agreed to recommend approval of the proposed amendments as presented
with a recommendation to add language to include signage as it relates to Page 413-93.
APPROVED
A motion was made to recommend approval of the amendments to the Southlake 2030
Parks, Recreation & Open Space/Community Facilities Master Plan; however, on Page
93, Item 4B, the Board would like to add that there is signage noting that the spaces
available are park spaces.
