EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
About ten (10) residents attended the citywide SPIN meeting for a proposed medical
office building on the north side of E. Southlake Blvd between Foxborough Ln and N.
Carroll Ave. This "S -P -1" Zoning Change Site Plan proposal is for the
development of a single -story medical office building of 18,558 square feet on
approximately 2.28 acres. The proposed building will match the architectural style
and color of the existing building immediately west of this site.
The development proposes to:
Provide a landscaped buffer between the property and the Foxborough
residents to the northwest;
Leave the remainder of the property undisturbed for the time being
Although many concerns were raised, none in attendance verbalized any major
objections to the development.
QUESTIONS DISCUSSION
QUESTION: Is the assisted living development out of the plan?
RESPONSE: Yes; this plan is only for one single -story office building.
QUESTION: What is the longterm plan for the other undeveloped tracts?
RESPONSE: We do not have any plans for the remaining portion of the property at this
time.
QUESTION: Did the Planning Zoning Commission request that you return with an
integrated and comprehensive approach to developing this land when
this property was reconsidered?
QUESTION: What is the land use designation of the portion of this property that is
proposed to be developed with this application? Is the requested
zoning compatible with the future land use designation?
RESPONSE: The proposed zoning does comply with the designated land use of "Office
Commercial. The land use designation on the remainder (rear) of the
property is "Medium Density Residential. Answered by Staff
QUESTION: Is the greenbelt [buffer] required in order to obtain your minimum
impervious coverage requirements or is it additional open space?
CONCERN: There is an existing drainage problem on Cross Lane and there was
concern expressed that this development will increase the drainage
onto residents living on that street. Specifically, the existing pond at
the rear of the subject property overflows during heavy rains.
QUESTION: Can you grade the property to drain away from the adjoining
properties?
