One thing that I would like to see happen with the redevelopment of this property is to add a sidewalk on the west side of Carroll. It is dangerous for those who walk to bus stops and to the corner store. Thank you Austin Arnold 325 Binkley Ct ----- Forwarded Message ----- Dear Neighbors, I know that everyone is busy, but please take time to read through this e-mail as it impacts our neighborhood. As I mentioned at the HOA meeting, the owner of the commercial property on the Northwest corner of Carroll Ave and Lake Wood Dr. is planning on expanding the size of the building and has requested a number of variances from the Southlake Planning and Zoning Commission. Lake Wood Drive a residential street and is an entrance to the Lake Wood Acres neighborhood which is connected to our neighborhood. The biggest concern for Southview and Foxborough is the requested variance to allow the builder to put an entrance to his commercial property on Lake Wood Drive. There are already significant challenges for the Lake Wood Acres residents when the try to leave their neighborhood on Lake Wood Drive and try to get on Carroll Ave. Adding the commercial entrance on Lake Wood Drive will end up pushing Lake Wood Acres residents to use Southview & Foxborough neighborhood access roads increasing traffic in our neighborhoods. Here is how you can help; Attached to this e-mail is the Lake Wood Acres petition against the variances, that I modified slightly for our neighborhood. If you agree to the petition, please edit the Word document and add your name and address at the bottom of the document and send it to the P&Z commission. The P&Z meeting is next week on Feb 7th so this needs to be sent in the next few days. TO: pmoos@ci.southlake.tx.us Patty Moss (P&Z main contact) CC: planningandzoning@ci.southlake.tx.us Group P&Z e-mail contact Please CC: so that I can see the responses. SUBJECT: Planning & Zoning Petition Against Variances: Case No: ZA18-0028 I think it's really important for our neighborhood come together to help petition against these variances and your help is appreciated. If we don't have sufficient support, the building owner is going to push this through the P&Z commission. This went before the P&Z a few ago and was almost approved. Thankfully, the Lakewood residents caught wind of it and argued against it at the P&Z meeting. That resulted in P&Z telling the owner to meet with the Lakewood residents first, which has already happened with no agreeable outcome. Next week is goes back to P&Z for approval unless we have enough residents against it.

Next week is goes back to P&Z for approval unless we have enough residents against it. Please let me know if you have any questions, Robert Scheurle February 1, 2019 Planning and Zoning Commission City of Southlake As a resident of Southview subdivision, I respectfully object to the approval of all the requested variances for Case No: ZA18-0028, as represented in the Site Plan Review Summary dated December 28, 2018. Of paramount importance to the residents Southview is not allowing a commercial driveway to penetrate the residential street, Lake Wood Drive. The introduction of commercial vehicle traffic onto the residential roadway will have detrimental impacts to our community. Lake Wood Drive meets the definition of “Local Street” under Section 2.2 Definitions of Driveway Ordinance No: 634. Section 5.2 of the ordinance “General Design Criteria,” Section c. “Driveways Prohibited,” clearly states that a commercial driveway shall not be permitted on a connector or local street unless the tract or lot has no other public access. The site in question currently has direct access onto North Carroll Avenue, and it has sufficient frontage to afford the subject property flexibility to expand or relocate the existing driveway entrance. Alternatively, the proposed development could create a “driveway common” with the adjacent shopping center, as described under Section 3.5, “Common Access.” The insertion of a commercial access point onto Lake Wood Drive would result in irreparable harm to our neighborhood: it would decrease property values; it would create a safety hazard for us and our children by mixing unfamiliar vehicle operators with neighborhood pedestrians and bicycles as there are no sidewalks on Lake Wood Drive; it would introduce an unwelcomed flow of commercial traffic into the Lake Wood, Southview and Foxborough neighborhoods; and it would create traffic backups at the exits to our low density zoned community. I also object to the requested variance for the reduction of available parking spaces from the requirement of 63 down to 60. Such a reduction would increase the likelihood that patrons to the businesses housed within the subject property would elect to park on Lake Wood Drive, diminishing the quaint, well treed, country appearance of the entry into our neighborhoods. I further object to any effort to deviate from the Master Pathways Plan as it relates to the construction of sidewalks. North Carroll Avenue is considered the entry point to Southlake, with the majority of visitor traffic using the Carroll exit from Hwy 114 as the primary point of access to our community. The “Master Pathways Plan” was developed to ensure that all new construction efforts within our city meet the highest standards for appearance and consistency throughout. To deviate from that plan at such a critical location would undermine the exhaustive efforts that went into the creation of the “Master Pathways Plan,” be a disservice to the residents of Southlake, and set a bad precedent for all future development. In closing, I respectfully direct the Planning and Zoning Commission’s attention to Ordinance No. 1173 which adopts the Vision, Goals and Objectives of the “Southlake 2035 Plan.” One need not read too far into Ordinance 1173 to recognize the overarching goal of the plan is to ensure “Quality Development”, driven by a citizen first sentiment throughout. I pray that the Commission thoughtfully considers the request of residents of Lake Wood Acres, Southview and Foxborough and denies the variances as requested in Case No: ZA18-0028.

Of paramount importance to the residents Southview is not allowing a commercial driveway to penetrate the residential street, Lake Wood Drive.

Dunn 575 Southview Trail Southlake, Texas 76092 February 1, 2019 Planning and Zoning Commission City of Southlake As a resident of Southview subdivision, I respectfully object to the approval of all the requested variances for Case No: ZA18-0028, as represented in the Site Plan Review Summary dated December 28, 2018. Of paramount importance to the residents Southview is not allowing a commercial driveway to penetrate the residential street, Lake Wood Drive. The introduction of commercial vehicle traffic onto the residential roadway will have detrimental impacts to our community. Lake Wood Drive meets the definition of “Local Street” under Section 2.2 Definitions of Driveway Ordinance No: 634. Section 5.2 of the ordinance “General Design Criteria,” Section c. “Driveways Prohibited,” clearly states that a commercial driveway shall not be permitted on a connector or local street unless the tract or lot has no other public access. The site in question currently has direct access onto North Carroll Avenue, and it has sufficient frontage to afford the subject property flexibility to expand or relocate the existing driveway entrance. Alternatively, the proposed development could create a “driveway common” with the adjacent shopping center, as described under Section 3.5, “Common Access.” The insertion of a commercial access point onto Lake Wood Drive would result in irreparable harm to our neighborhood: it would decrease property values; it would create a safety hazard for us and our children by mixing unfamiliar vehicle operators with neighborhood pedestrians and bicycles as there are no sidewalks on Lake Wood Drive; it would introduce an unwelcomed flow of commercial traffic into the Lake Wood, Southview and Foxborough neighborhoods; and it would create traffic backups at the exits to our low density zoned community. I also object to the requested variance for the reduction of available parking spaces from the requirement of 63 down to 60. Such a reduction would increase the likelihood that patrons to the businesses housed within the subject property would elect to park on Lake Wood Drive, diminishing the quaint, well treed, country appearance of the entry into our neighborhoods. I further object to any effort to deviate from the Master Pathways Plan as it relates to the construction of sidewalks. North Carroll Avenue is considered the entry point to Southlake, with the majority of visitor traffic using the Carroll exit from Hwy 114 as the primary point of access to our community. The “Master Pathways Plan” was developed to ensure that all new construction efforts within our city meet the highest standards for appearance and consistency throughout. To deviate from that plan at such a critical location would undermine the exhaustive efforts that went into the creation of the “Master Pathways Plan,” be a disservice to the residents of Southlake, and set a bad precedent for all future development. In closing, I respectfully direct the Planning and Zoning Commission’s attention to Ordinance No. 1173 which adopts the Vision, Goals and Objectives of the “Southlake 2035 Plan.” One need not read too far into Ordinance 1173 to recognize the overarching goal of the plan is to ensure “Quality Development”, driven by a citizen first sentiment throughout.

I pray that the Commission thoughtfully considers the request of residents of Lake Wood Acres, Southview and Foxborough and denies the variances as requested in Case No: ZA18-0028. Respectfully, Hilary Hale 900 Oasis Ct. Southlake, Texas Thank you for your consideration. I did not put this thought in the letter but probably should have. We have had an increase in crime in our neighborhood during the time I have lived there. Much of that is, I think, due to our proximity to 114 and Southlake Blvd as well as Town Square. We are a very convenient neighborhood for people to wander into. We live on the only street that connects Lakewood to Foxborough and on to Southlake Blvd. I have a well-founded concern that a new entry from the commercial tract onto Lakewood’s entry street would significantly add to traffic in and through our neighborhoods and an increase in crime. As the letter points out, it is already difficult to exit from Lakewood or Southview to go north on Carroll. If the only direct exit from Lakewood to Carroll is shared with commercial traffic, it will significantly impact accessibility for Lakewood and Southview, as well. The parking variance is also a problem as there is insufficient parking and congestion along Carroll just south of 114 already. I think this is in large part because the existing commercial developments on the west side pre-existed the expansion of Carroll and, frankly, are now overbuilt for the property. Increasing the density and allowing a commercial building to provide less parking would just exacerbate the problem. Our three neighborhoods are certainly not “overbuilt” for our lots and it seems inconsistent to have commercial buildings that are crowded into space that is inadequate for their property sizes adjacent to and sharing our point of entry. We enjoy the space in Southlake and that is one of the reasons we stay here. We enjoy the low density of our three neighborhoods and certainly don’t see a compelling reason to allow variances in an already over-crowded commercial area. Thank you again for your service. February 2, 2019 Planning and Zoning Commission City of Southlake Re: Case No: ZA18-0028 Dear P&Z Commissioners: As a resident of Southview subdivision, I respectfully object to the approval of all the requested variances for Case No: ZA18-0028, as represented in the Site Plan Review Summary dated December 28, 2018. Of paramount importance to the residents of Southview is not allowing a commercial driveway to penetrate the residential street, Lake Wood Drive. The introduction of commercial vehicle traffic onto the residential roadway will have detrimental impacts to our community. Lake Wood Drive meets the definition of “Local Street” under Section 2.2 Definitions of Driveway Ordinance No: 634. Section 5.2 of the ordinance “General Design Criteria”, Section C, “Driveways Prohibited”, clearly states that a commercial driveway shall not be permitted on a connector or local street unless the tract (or lot) has no other public access. The site in question currently has direct access onto North Carroll Avenue and has enough frontage to expand or relocate the existing driveway entrance. Alternatively, the proposed development could create a “driveway common” with the adjacent shopping center, as described under Section 3.5, “Common Access”. The variances requested must include a broader assessment of the intersections and businesses juxtaposed the requested variances. The state highway 114 and North Carroll intersection has seen a marked increase in traffic during the last 5 years. Businesses on the northside of 114 and west of Kimball will continue to increase with future developments (Westin Hotel for example) and all will use the 114 Carroll intersection as access to all points. The current shopping center located at the southwest corner of 114 and Carroll consistently creates traffic backup and hazardous situations (more so when all commercial space is leased). The ingress and egress of that shopping center has not changed over time; it was constructed when North Carroll Avenue was a two-lane road, state highway 114 was a four-lane divided highway with a flashing red-light stop and Southlake was less than 25% of the currently population. In addition to the worsening of traffic flow, the insertion of a commercial access point onto Lake Wood Drive would result in irreparable harm to our neighborhood. It would decrease property values, create a safety hazard for our neighborhood pedestrians and bicyclists (there are no sidewalks on Lake Wood Drive). Unwelcomed and unrecognized traffic (personal and commercial) would flow through the Lake Wood, Southview and Foxborough neighborhoods creating increased traffic backups at the limited exits to our low-density zoned communities. The requested variance for the reduction of available parking spaces from the requirement of 63 down to 60 would create additional problems for a business rich corner with poor traffic flow. Such a reduction (with or without commercial access to Lake Wood Drive) would encourage and incentivize business patrons to park on Lake Wood Drive as an alternative. North Carroll Avenue is the main entry point to Southlake (e.g. all Town Square seasonal events use highway signage directing attendees to exit on Carroll; police, EMS and fire rescue use this as a primary thoroughfare, etc.) and most visitors to the city use the Carroll-114 intersection as the primary point of access to our community. The “Master Pathways Plan” was developed to ensure that all new construction efforts within our city meet the highest standards for appearance and consistency throughout. To deviate from that plan at such a critical location would undermine the exhaustive efforts that went into the creation of the “Master Pathways Plan”. It would be a disservice to the residents of Southlake and a bad precedent for all future development; that intersection should be held to the highest standards. In closing, I direct the Planning and Zoning Commission’s attention to Ordinance No. 1173 which adopts the Vision, Goals and Objectives of the “Southlake 2035 Plan.” One need not read too far into Ordinance 1173 to recognize the overarching goal of the plan is to ensure “Quality Development”, driven by a citizen-first sentiment throughout. I ask the Commission to take a broad view of the North Carroll-114 intersection and to thoughtfully consider the request from residents of Lake Wood Acres, Southview and Foxborough.

Section 5.2 of the ordinance “General Design Criteria,” Section c. “Driveways Prohibited,” clearly states that a commercial driveway shall not be permitted on a connector or local street unless the tract or lot has no other public access. The site in question currently has direct access onto North Carroll Avenue, and it has sufficient frontage to afford the subject property flexibility to expand or relocate the existing driveway entrance. Alternatively, the proposed development could create a “driveway common” with the adjacent shopping center, as described under Section 3.5, “Common Access.” The insertion of a commercial access point onto Lake Wood Drive would result in irreparable harm to our neighborhood: it would decrease property values; it would create a safety hazard for us and our children by mixing unfamiliar vehicle operators with neighborhood pedestrians and bicycles as there are no sidewalks on Lake Wood Drive; it would introduce an unwelcomed flow of commercial traffic into the Lake Wood, Southview and Foxborough neighborhoods; and it would create traffic backups at the exits to our low density zoned community. I also object to the requested variance for the reduction of available parking spaces from the requirement of 63 down to 60. Such a reduction would increase the likelihood that patrons to the businesses housed within the subject property would elect to park on Lake Wood Drive, diminishing the quaint, well treed, country appearance of the entry into our neighborhoods. I further object to any effort to deviate from the Master Pathways Plan as it relates to the construction of sidewalks. North Carroll Avenue is considered the entry point to Southlake, with the majority of visitor traffic using the Carroll exit from Hwy 114 as the primary point of access to our community. The “Master Pathways Plan” was developed to ensure that all new construction efforts within our city meet the highest standards for appearance and consistency throughout. To deviate from that plan at such a critical location would undermine the exhaustive efforts that went into the creation of the “Master Pathways Plan,” be a disservice to the residents of Southlake, and set a bad precedent for all future development. In closing, I respectfully direct the Planning and Zoning Commission’s attention to Ordinance No. 1173 which adopts the Vision, Goals and Objectives of the “Southlake 2035 Plan.” One need not read too far into Ordinance 1173 to recognize the overarching goal of the plan is to ensure “Quality Development”, driven by a citizen first sentiment throughout. I pray that the Commission thoughtfully considers the request of residents of Lake Wood Acres, Southview and Foxborough and denies the variances as requested in Case No: ZA18-0028.

The owner of the commercial property on the Northwest corner of Carroll Ave and Lake Wood Dr. is planning on expanding the size of the building and has requested a number of variances from the Southlake Planning and Zoning Commission. Lake Wood Drive is a residential street and is an entrance to the Lake Wood Acres neighborhood which is connected to Southview and our neighborhood. The biggest concern for Foxborough is the requested variance to allow the builder to put an entrance to his commercial property on Lake Wood Drive. There are already significant challenges for the Lake Wood Acres residents when they try to leave their neighborhood on Lake Wood Drive and try to get on Carroll Ave. We expect that adding the commercial entrance on Lake Wood Drive will end up pushing Lake Wood Acres residents as well as others to use Southview & Foxborough neighborhood access roads increasing traffic in our neighborhoods. In addition, there are a few other requests which deviate from the “Master Pathways Plan” which require a sidewalk that the builder would like to eliminate. Here is how you can help; Attached to this e-mail is the Lake Wood Acres petition against the variances, I have modified slightly for our neighborhood. If you agree to the petition, please edit the Word document and add your name and address at the bottom of the document and send it to the P&Z commission.

Alternatively, the proposed development could create a “driveway common” with the adjacent shopping center, as described under Section 3.5, “Common Access.” The insertion of a commercial access point onto Lake Wood Drive would result in irreparable harm to our neighborhood: it would decrease property values; it would create a safety hazard for us and our children by mixing unfamiliar vehicle operators with neighborhood pedestrians and bicycles as there are no sidewalks on Lake Wood Drive; it would introduce an unwelcomed flow of commercial traffic into the Lake Wood, Southview and Foxborough neighborhoods; and it would create traffic backups at the exits to our low density zoned community. I also object to the requested variance for the reduction of available parking spaces from the requirement of 63 down to 60. Such a reduction would increase the likelihood that patrons to the businesses housed within the subject property would elect to park on Lake Wood Drive, diminishing the quaint, well treed, country appearance of the entry into our neighborhoods. I further object to any effort to deviate from the Master Pathways Plan as it relates to the construction of sidewalks. North Carroll Avenue is considered the entry point to Southlake, with the majority of visitor traffic using the Carroll exit from Hwy 114 as the primary point of access to our community. The “Master Pathways Plan” was developed to ensure that all new construction efforts within our city meet the highest standards for appearance and consistency throughout. To deviate from that plan at such a critical location would undermine the exhaustive efforts that went into the creation of the “Master Pathways Plan,” be a disservice to the residents of Southlake, and set a bad precedent for all future development. In closing, I respectfully direct the Planning and Zoning Commission’s attention to Ordinance No. 1173 which adopts the Vision, Goals and Objectives of the “Southlake 2035 Plan.” One need not read too far into Ordinance 1173 to recognize the overarching goal of the plan is to ensure “Quality Development”, driven by a citizen first sentiment throughout. I pray that the Commission thoughtfully considers the request of residents of Lake Wood Acres, Southview and Foxborough and denies the variances as requested in Case No: ZA18-0028. Respectfully, Roland Marmion 950 Southview Trail Southlake, Texas February 1, 2019 Planning and Zoning Commission City of Southlake As a resident of the Foxborough subdivision, I respectfully object to the approval of all the requested variances for Case No: ZA18-0028, as represented in the Site Plan Review Summary dated December 28, 2018. Of paramount importance is not allowing a commercial driveway to penetrate the residential street, Lake Wood Drive. The introduction of commercial vehicle traffic onto the residential roadway will have detrimental impacts to our community.

Alternatively, the proposed development could create a “driveway common” with the adjacent shopping center, as described under Section 3.5, “Common Access.” The insertion of a commercial access point onto Lake Wood Drive would result in a number of unacceptable outcomes such as: a safety hazard for us and our children by mixing unfamiliar vehicle operators with neighborhood pedestrians and bicycles as there are no sidewalks on Lake Wood Drive; an unwelcomed flow of commercial traffic into the Lake Wood, Southview and Foxborough neighborhoods; and it would create traffic backups at the exits to our low density zoned community. Lastly, it will likely result in the decrease in home values for the surrounding neighborhoods. I also object to the requested variance for the reduction of available parking spaces from the requirement of 63 down to 60.

Respectfully, Mary Mashburn 701 Malton Ln. Southlake, Texas From: Bernice <> Date: Fri, Feb 1, 2019 at 12:10 PM Subject: ZA18-0028 To: planningandzoning@ci.southlake.tx.us <planningandzoning@ci.southlake.tx.us> Want to register my vote against allowing the proposed increase in size and drive exit into Lakewood. If doubling the size of the existing property is allowed, it will create a traffic problem so much worse than it is now, and nobody seems to be able to figure out how to make it compatible with the present zoning laws. An exit into Lakewood makes the whole neighborhood subjected to people driving through to get out other exits and endangers many residents, including children. Once the increased size of the building is approved, the next step will have to be how to ease the traffic congestion and eliminate the danger to everyone in the area. How will that happen? Seems the consultants should have foreseen the Chuys mess before it was approved. Seems there will be limited options going forward if major sq. footage is approved. We are looking at greed as opposed to the need to keep people safe. How can you disagree?? Sincerely, Bernice McCauley 20 yr. resident at 900 Wildwood lane S.L.

Is it possible for you to send me a blank protest form? I filled mine out and delivered it last week, and we have many neighbors that would like to formally protest the penetration of the driveway on to Lake Wood. Your kind prompt attention is greatly appreciated. best Howard On Wed, Dec 26, 2018 at 12:05 PM Jerod Potts <jpotts@ci.southlake.tx.us> wrote: Mr. Sanders, Below is a link to the City's Development Activity News Blog.

Of paramount importance to the residents Southview is not allowing a commercial driveway to penetrate the residential street, Lake Wood Drive. The introduction of commercial vehicle traffic onto the residential roadway will have detrimental impacts to our community. Lake Wood Drive meets the definition of “Local Street” under Section 2.2 Definitions of Driveway Ordinance No: 634. Section 5.2 of the ordinance “General Design Criteria,” Section c. “Driveways Prohibited,” clearly states that a commercial driveway shall not be permitted on a connector or local street unless the tract or lot has no other public access. The site in question currently has direct access onto North Carroll Avenue, and it has sufficient frontage to afford the subject property flexibility to expand or relocate the existing driveway entrance. Alternatively, the proposed development could create a “driveway common” with the adjacent shopping center, as described under Section 3.5, “Common Access.” The insertion of a commercial access point onto Lake Wood Drive would result in irreparable harm to our neighborhood: it would decrease property values; it would create a safety hazard for us and our children by mixing unfamiliar vehicle operators with neighborhood pedestrians and bicycles as there are no sidewalks on Lake Wood Drive; it would introduce an unwelcomed flow of commercial traffic into the Lake Wood, Southview and Foxborough neighborhoods; and it would create traffic backups at the exits to our low density zoned community. I also object to the requested variance for the reduction of available parking spaces from the requirement of 63 down to 60. Such a reduction would increase the likelihood that patrons to the businesses housed within the subject property would elect to park on Lake Wood Drive, diminishing the quaint, well treed, country appearance of the entry into our neighborhoods. I further object to any effort to deviate from the Master Pathways Plan as it relates to the construction of sidewalks. North Carroll Avenue is considered the entry point to Southlake, with the majority of visitor traffic using the Carroll exit from Hwy 114 as the primary point of access to our community. The “Master Pathways Plan” was developed to ensure that all new construction efforts within our city meet the highest standards for appearance and consistency throughout. To deviate from that plan at such a critical location would undermine the exhaustive efforts that went into the creation of the “Master Pathways Plan,” be a disservice to the residents of Southlake, and set a bad precedent for all future development.

My wife and I have lived at 900 Lakewood Dr for 11 years. This is a quiet and peaceful place to live. It’s like a native forrest with streets but no sidewalks. We walk and bike on these streets and folks from adjacent neighborhoods regularly come here and do the same. We also can walk to anyplace in Southlake Town Square within 15 minutes. This is a True Southlake Treasure. Now, the Landmark property owners want you, the City Council to approve their plan to double their capacity and gain access to Lakewood Drive. I strongly object to this entire proposal. Reasons to deny commercial access onto Lakewood Drive (a residential street) include the following: City of Southlake Ordinance No:634,5.2.c-prohibits commercial access onto Lakewood Dr which meets definition of a “Local Street” Requested Variance-This is denied in above ordinance and can only be granted if the property in question is “land locked” and has no other possible public access, not the case here Landmark clearly already has city approved (as it currently exists) street access onto N. Carroll, and clearly needs to update that driveway if they ever expand P&Z January 3rd meeting-Voted 4 to 3 to deny Landmark Office Expansion ZA18-0028 P&Z February 7th meeting-while a 3-3 tie vote, Mr. Pape did not attend, he was a “deny” vote at Jan. 3 meeting So my position as a residential property owner is best stated by the old Latin phrase “res ipsa loquitur”…Latin, literally “the matter speaks for itself” Now my respectful request to you as my council members is to stand up for our neighborhood(s) and deny the Landmark Project. Res ipsa loquitur. Sincerely, Wilbert Polson -- Kenneth M.
