Agenda Item No. 2. Open discussion on facilitating communication.
Al Morin asked the City Council members how SPIN could help facilitate communications.
Councilmember Debra Edmondson suggested that SPIN help maintain open communication
regarding economic development issues with residents. There is a chance that a Target store
may locate in Southlake. This will be important for SPIN to hold meetings and ensure the public
is accurately informed.
Al Morin stated that there is a Calloway's Nursery proposing to locate on 1709 right by the
Bicentennial Park entrance. There will be a SPIN 10 meeting on this topic.
Councilmember Kendall suggested that SPIN become involved in the Traffic Management Bond
election implementation. The City Council is now negotiating with consultant HNTB for their
services to manage the project. SPIN could help by having one to two members serve on the
committee to provide feedback regarding which intersection to construct first. Pattie Minder,
Mary Georgia and Jan Francis stated they would help on the committee.

Agenda Item No. 3. Neighborhood Reports.
SPIN #1 — Cara White reported that Paul Spain is working with the Park Board on property
issues. Cara plans to call Mr. Lamoreaux to talk with him about SPIN. There has
been a recent water shortage in SPIN 1. A private water company supplies most of
the residents and they do not want to go onto City water.
SPIN #2 — Martin Schelling reported that the Sabre project has been approved by the City
Council. Kirkwood Hollow is the next project to go through City Council. Sweet
Street is an older street that has not been overlayed in a while. It is scheduled for the
winter of 2000, but is in need of serious repair work.
SPIN #3 — Mary Georgia stated that SPIN 3 is fairly quiet. They have received some calls
regarding the timing of construction for trails in their area.
SPIN #5 — Jan Francis reported there are concerns about the widening of Kimball Road, which is
actually in the City of Grapevine. Councilmember Edmondson reassured Ms. Francis
that the City of Southlake is working closely with Grapevine to minimize the amount
of tree loss.
SPIN #6 — Tim Miller reported there is nothing new in SPIN #6. There is a vacancy meeting to
select a SPIN Representative for SPIN 6 on August 26, 1999. He is currently acting
on an interim basis. There have been some questions regarding the Harold Knight
property.
SPIN #7 — Darrell Faglie stated that the Gateway Plaza property is moving quickly. Bids will be
open for SH 114/Kimball intersection soon and construction should start in the
winter.
SPIN #8 — Pattie Minder reported there is trouble getting onto Westwood Dr. because people
block the intersection. There continues to be noise from Pump -Co, and there are
ongoing drainage problems at Cambridge and Woodland Heights. The status on the
Shops of Southlake is that the City Council took no action and it will go before the
Zoning Board of Appeals.
SPIN #9e — Michael Boutte reported that the Children's Courtyard development is a big issue in
SPIN 9e. The first SPIN meeting was well attended and the second SPIN meeting is
scheduled for August 18th at the Senior Center. Traffic congestion appears to be the
biggest concern among the residents.

SPIN #9w — No Report
SPIN #10 — Al Morin stated there is an upcoming meeting on the proposed Calloway's Nursery,
which wants to locate on 1709 and the entrance to Bicentennial Park. The meeting is
scheduled for September 1 at 7:00 p.m. at the Senior Activity Center.
SPIN #11 — Roger Hutton stated that there is not much going on in his neighborhood. The Dove
Road/SH 114 interchange will impact SPIN 11. The light at Shady Oaks has helped
out tremendously.
SPIN #12 — Cameron McCartha reported there is a citywide SPIN meeting scheduled on August
25'' at 7:00 p.m. at the Senior Activity Center. The topic is a discussion on the
amendments to the Master Thoroughfare Plan. Fliers were mailed out to the SPIN
10, 11, 12, and 13 residents.
SPIN #13 — Bill Stone reported there are no major issues in SPIN 13. The current development
includes Southlake Boulevard Church, a revised site plan on Southlake Executive
Suites, and two lots north end of Southridge Lakes Parkway.
SPIN #14 — Michael Conrads stated there is a request to change the speed limit in Princeton
Park. Also, the current noise issue with DFW airport.
SPIN #15 — Wayne Haney reported on the current development in SPIN 15: Remington
Retirement Center, Chesapeake Place, Primrose School at Union Church and Davis,
NET Church, Sutton Place, improvement at Union Church and Person, and Michael
Drive.
SPIN # 16 — No Report
Senior Report - David Baltimore stated there will be a letter going out to try to form the non-
profit Transportation Company. They are experimenting with NETS to provide
transportation for seniors. Acquiring a van may not be the goal for the transportation
board because currently the seniors are not maximizing the use of the van during the
experimental stage. Councilmember Edmondson asked David to submit a
breakdown of how the money would be used. David indicated that it is still
premature to detail the funds before the Board is established.
Agenda Item No. 4. Open Forum
Martin Schelling thinks it is time to start the FM 1938 issue. The traffic problem should be
addressed now, especially with the Sabre development. The City needs to be behind it before
Keller will support it again. Communication needs to be out earlier and needs to be much more
effective.
