Presentation:
Questions / Concerns:
C: Property owner to the north of Kimball Park expressed their concerns with four-story
parking garage structure situated directly in front of their business building off Cherry Lane
(might devalue property). Would like to see parking garage moved out of direct sight
A: We do not like to do developments that negatively impact surrounding developments. At
some point we all knew this site would be redeveloped.
C: Building would lose visibility from SH 114. Do not like the front of the building looking into
the parking garage. Realistically, you could place the parking garage in the parking lot
between the development and the existing hotel
A: I do not own that land, a company out of California owns it. If I could do it another way I
would’ve.
C: Citizens are not going to be pleased with the investment they made to now look into a
parking garage
A: We’ve done a sightline study and the only individuals that would see the height of this
structure is people living in the three duplexes off Cherry Lane. I challenge that renters will
prefer the walkability to amenities, such as restaurants and limited retail.
C: Would prefer for you to re-shift the parking garage.
A: Re-shifting the structure would go against what the city asked for and would make it
visible from the street-view.
Q: Does the City of Southlake prohibit building parking garages underground?
A: As far as I’m concerned I do not believe they do, I don’t believe there are any restrictions
to going underground. However, it is exceptionally expensive.
Q: What type of retail do you envision going into this development?
A: We do not aim to have more of the same retail like Town Square, this will be more
neighborhood retail, service-oriented that provide amenities; more boutique retail, no
national chain retail stores.
Q: As in service-oriented you are thinking of nail salons, beauty parlors, dry cleaners?
A: Correct
Q: Are you taking into consideration the very large mixed-use development, in the works,
just down the road? (Carillon)
A: This is the last piece; this development is essentially completed with this site. The other
developments are far enough away that it will not impact us or any other uses.
Q: What is the setback from SH 114?
A: 25ft setback from property line
Q: What is the square footage for office, retail and restaurant?
A: The bottom floor is all restaurant/retail, the second and third floors will be a mix of
medical and traditional class A office, the fourth floor will hold the penthouse office and a
rooftop patio that can be rented out to a small event. The patio and indoor area will not be
equipped for large parties, more along the lines of a team banquet space.
Q: The new office building off SH 114, Granite Office; does anyone know what percentage
of lease that is? Concern of office spaces being left open. When do you think you will begin
searching for future tenants?
A: Begin looking for tenants on January 3rd once we appear at Planning and Zoning.
Marketing package will soon follow. We are looking for a certain type of tenant.
Q: Do you have the parking garage measurements?
A: I do not have the exact dimensions, but from south to north its 120ft.
Wondering if the City of Southlake looks at what the market will bear when it
comes to mixed-use developments. It seems that the city would have an
interest in making sure additional mixed-use developments don’t hurt
Southlake Town Square, which is the core of the city.
