FORUM SUMMARY :
Property Situation:
• Located to the northwest of the Southlake Blvd. (FM 1709) and Shady Oaks Dr.
intersection
Development Details:
• Under contract for various sites depicted (otherwise known as the Stacy
property)
• Various property owners
• Attempting to comply with the land use plan and develop a high quality
neighborhood
• Near FM 1709 (Southlake Blvd.) and Shady Oaks
• Four (4) Stacy lots included in plan along Shady Oaks – tied properties together
• The Marq is across the street to the east
• Existing Stacy home to remain - would be updated / refurbished
• Four other Stacy homes will remain as one acre lots
• Other structures will be demolished
• A lot of new ponds installed for detention (some for aesthetics, people enjoy the
visual)
• Plan is to save as many trees as possible
• Over twenty-five (25) 20" - 30" Oak Trees in the center oval park – plan is to save
all trees in that center
• Do not have a strong feeling either way regarding entrance aligning with Timber
Lake across the street
• Have different plan options for entry to the subdivision
• Driveway (along Shady Oaks Dr.) lines up to future entrance of The Marq
• Plan A shows an entrance onto FM 1709 with the attempt to get a signalized
intersection
o Cannot give assurances that curb cut can be secured there (for entrance)
o Preference would be to not have access there if cannot get a light
• Plan B removes that proposed signalized intersection
o Use emergency only exit
o Committed to the city that all homes would have fire suppression systems
• Applicant mentioned that this plan is in compliance with the land use plan
• 19% of development is open space – much of the common space would be
maintained by an HOA
• Would be a Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning
• Would also have additional fencing, setback requirements
• Going to be a custom home development
Exhibits presented at SPIN:
QUESTIONS / CONCERNS:
• What is your plan for dealing with drainage?
o Ponds are basically the same in both plan options - same amount of
water. Hydrology analysis showed that there needed to be more ponds to
mitigate potential storm drain through this site. There will be no more
water exiting this site after the development than there is today. Ended up
with 7 different detention areas
• Concerned about drainage due to curb cut near entrance at 1709 that carries
quite a bit of water - water drains that way and the proposal shows paving on that
area
o There is a lot of thought on that from an engineering perspective
• Four houses on the east side of the property; those are going to remain as one-
acre tracts?
o Yes
• They look quite a bit larger
o Those are one acre lots - use the open space to save trees, use of ponds.
Those are true one acre lots
• What is the range?
o 23,000 square feet - one acre
• Gated community?
o Yes
• Where are the trails going to be? How does the public access, do you have trails
planned?
o There is a whole system of sidewalks, will be trails in open space. There
will be a gate for cars. Where we have had gated developments we
encourage pedestrian access
• Pedestrians will be allowed to access those trails?
o Not private - encourage their use
• Do you see it a problem for future homeowners that anyone can walk through?
o No - not the first time it has been done this way
• When Toll Brothers made their presentations, there were discussions about
during construction dirt would be exposed - worried that the dirt will come
towards Stone Lakes - there were conversations about dredging after the
development when everything is built (putting money into escrow) want to see if
we can talk about how to handle that - this will be Stone Lakes’ major concern
o Get a measurement (contour of ponds) - get existing condition of pond
and post condition of pond. Can assure that we are much more sensitized
to the need to mitigate the silt
• There is a trail on 1709, how would your trail work?
o Stone perimeter wall - right now that trail runs by the curb of 1709 -- on
this plan (B) intention would be to do a trail connection. Will give as many
opportunities as possible for people to leave the neighborhood
• On Shady Oaks there are partial trails on the west side – see that you are going
into The Marq and you have that little bit of green space; are there plans to make
a trail or would there be private property and would never be a trail there?
o Bar ditches on the west side. Plan would not be to do anything. Would do
something through green space. If there is a way to do something,
certainly
• Concerned about traffic coming in. About the light - you have commercial
traffic over there
o Get different viewpoints; hoping to sit down with people in Southridge
Lakes, Ginger Creek. Have a traffic study in process
