Office Building Tree Preservation Area (Concept Plan) Planned for the southern portion of the property The 12,000 square foot single -story office building is conceptually planned at this point, Calloway's Nursery hopes to relocate its headquarters to the site when their current lease expires in 5 years Will keep and possibly increase the size of the existing 180+ foot tree preservation area that borders the Northwood Park neighborhood to the south QUESTIONS DISCUSSION QUESTION: How tall would the pergolas be? RESPONSE: They would be 1 S feet at their tallest point, sloping to about 10 feet for rain runoff. They would be made of wood and stained a teak color. QUESTION: How tall is the front retail building? RESPONSE: Approximately 22 feet. QUESTIONS: What will the floor of the landscape yard be made of? Will you go with stained concrete? Have you considered decomposed granite? RESPONSE: Just concrete, as the nature of the business will likely stain the concrete over time anyway. Decomposed granite is not viable, as it can get messy and doesn't allow maneuverability of customers' shopping carts. QUESTION: What kind of roofing material is proposed on the pergolas? QUESTION: What is the elevation change from the road to the building? QUESTION: What is the size of the tree preservation area? QUESTION: What are you doing to shield the view of the parking lot from FM 1709 (Southlake Blvd)? QUESTION: What will the office building look like? QUESTION: For clarification, Parkwood Drive is not proposed to punch through, making a complete connection between Southlake Blvd and Byron Nelson Pkwy, correct? RESPONSE: Correct. QUESTION: Where does the property drain? QUESTION: How tall will the new trees that you plant be? RESPONSE: They will be about 10 feet tall when planted. We would also like to show abroad spectrum of trees and shrubs in our landscaping of the site, seeing as how we are a landscape business. QUESTION: When will you begin building the Is (retail) phase? RESPONSE: As soon as we are approved and permitted by the City. SPIN Meeting Reports are general observations of SPIN Meetings by City staff and SPIN Representatives.
