Subject: First National Bank Zoning Change and Site Plan
Dear City Council,
I wanted to share my support for First National Bank and their proposed
new building. I moved to Texas 12 years ago and began the process of
building 280 Sports as well as several smaller development projects in the
area. First National Bank has been my first choice of lender and partner
since that first day. Their willingness to get to know the people behind
the business and consistently support the local community is worth
everything. I have since done more loans than I can count, worth
approximately$25 million with them since then, as well as other business
colleagues that I have turned over because they are so great. Their
willingness to take on 280 Sports at a time that the economy was
experiencing a downturn, helped me to bring approximately 5 new businesses
to Southlake at the time from surrounding areas and about 25 more since
then. First National is more than just a bank as their name suggests, I
consider them a partner that is always looking out for our best interests.
They have provided business advice and personal support over these years.
I consider many of the employees personal friends now. They need a bigger
presence in Southlake and deserve it for a lot of jobs well done and their
huge investment in our community.
Sincerely,
Christie Abercrombie

Dear City of Council & Southlake Representatives,
My name is Andy Allen and my family and I reside at 600 Northwood Ct. Southlake, Texas.
Please know that my spouse and I are 100% for the First National Bank project proposed at the
corner of SH114 and Dove Road. We support the approval for the rezoning of this site from
Agriculture to Office use. This project is a perfect fit with the land use plan and having FNB's
corporate offices at this site will be a beautiful addition to our city.
For years, we as a city, have desired corporate headquarters to be built on the 114 corridor, and
now we have an opportunity to approve a home-grown, local bank's headquarters. In our opinion
this is a great fit. Having a corporate office with well-manicured and lush landscaping will be a
much better entrance to our city than a site full of overgrowth and unmaintained trees.
Thank you very much for your consideration,
Andrew S. Allen

Mayor and City Council,
Previously, I sent the following emails below regarding the Proposed 1 st National Bank on Shady Oaks. Since this matter
is on the agenda tonight my wife and I want to restate our strong objection to the approval of this project.
Thank you for your careful consideration.

Southlake City Council,
Yesterday, I sent the email below voicing our opposition to the proposed 1 st National Bank on Shady Oaks.
In the unfortunate event that it does receive approval, my wife and I would like to go on record that we are
100% against erecting of a solid wall between the bank and Shady Oaks. We believe that a wall would
make this bad situation worse, so we prefer a much softer more natural look with large trees and
evergreens.

Subject: Proposed 1st National Bank on Shady Oaks
Southlake City Council,
We are writing to express our opposition to the proposed 1 st National Bank building on Shady Oaks. We
acknowledge and realize that things can't always remain the same as they were when we bought our lot in
the Garden Court addition in 1993. Over the past 26 years, we have seen tremendous growth in
Southlake...some of it good and some of it bad. The renovation of Highway 114 turned the road from a
potential "death trap"with all the gravel trucks speeding down a two-lane highway and running red lights
into a nice interstate through our community and a way to pass through the city. As you know, Town Center
is the envy of almost every city in the country. The development has been thoughtful and well-planned
except for the location of Shake Shack.
Our concern and opposition is because the seven acres bounded by Dove Road, 114, and Shady Oaks
is a unique site, and this area should be developed as its own little master plan. The two acres which has
been carved out for the bank is not suited for this site. It will destroy all the mature trees as well as there
are too many proposed parking places. In addition, it will completely open Shady Oaks to 114. This is one
of the most beautiful gateways to the city, and this development will have a negative impact of the local
homeowners' property values.
The variances for trees and location of the trash dumpster should not be approved. If the tree variance
is approved, most of the mature trees will be removed, replaced by 3"to 4"trees. As far as the parking, the
applicate should build a subterranean parking garage to hide majority of the spaces.
In closing, we would prefer these 7 acres to remain zoned agriculture, of course. However, we
understand that is not going to happen. What we are asking to happen is that this site be developed with
utmost of care and concern for the citizens it will directly impact. Yes, it might require a special, unique
project or even a campus like setting that preserves more land and trees than normal, but this site is
different than any other site along the 114 Corridor.
Thank you for your careful consideration regarding this matter, and I hope you will vote NO to the project
in its current state.
Sincerely,
Ben and Cindy Allen

Dear City Council and Southlake Representatives ,
My name is Michaelann Bush and I live at 804 Saxon Trail, Southlake. I support the First National Bank project
and for the approval of rezoning the site at HWY 114 from Agricultural to Office.
That particular site seems like a perfect fit for a beautiful office with abundant landscaping, which would bring in
more tax revenue than agriculture.
There are two banks very near my home and I appreciate the low traffic with quiet evenings and weekends. This
proposed rezoning would be an improvement to Southlake and is consistent with the 2035 land use plan.
Sincerely,
Michaelann Bush

Dear City Council Members and Mayor,
I
Hello my name is Chad Cross and my wife, Lynee and I live off of Dove. I have lived in
Southlake for the last 6 years, and I have known Mike&Sheri Mills for years as they have
been active in the community. I think the proposed development by FNB and the rezoning
to office from agriculture should be approved as the proposed FNB building is a beautiful
building and the first thing drivers on 114 will see as they come east into Southlake, much
better than the current overgrown trees and vines.
I wanted to share my thoughts with you in regards to the First National Bank project
located on the Southeast side of Dove and Hwy 114 in between Hwy 114 service road
and Shadyoaks). I want the council to know that my spouse and I are 100% in favor of
his development. This corner is Western entrance to our town, in the 2035 plan it is
Werred to as the "Gateway to Southlake" and we think it would be an injustice to our
town to leave this property as trees and vines as this project improves our community's
mage, aligns perfectly with the land-use plan and has about as low impact to the
neighbors on Shady Oaks as any use we can imagine.
1�e believe that a home-grown, local bank's headquarters 9 q rters is right down the middle of what
�he 2035 plan has indicated would be a good use for this property, and that the use of a
proposed bank meets the current overlay of office zoning. We are in favor of high-quality
development proposed and the few variances requested make sense and are immaterial
Irelative to the total project. The FNB site offers Southlake a high-quality development
Ithat will be beautifully landscaped and will preserve many large mature trees (so much
so it might be hard to see the bank building from Shady Oaks.) I cannot imagine a better
use for this part of the property than a bank like FNB.
:Below we have listed a few thoughts as to why this project should be approved:
• The thoughtful design of the FNB building and the overall site layout of the
development is visually pleasing and is much more appealing and functional for
the community than the current site is as an undeveloped lot. The proposed
landscape plan offers a beautiful layout. My spouse and I believe that a well-
manicured site looks much more appealing than raw land covered in untrimmed
trees filled with dead vines.
• On a personal note, we believe that there is a troublesome pattern in our city that
lets the loud minority bully development (angry neighbors tend to show up to try
and stop development even good development that fits well within the land use
plan. In the FNB case, some of people opposed to this development have sent
hateful letters, and turned business development conversations into a personal
attacks on other Southlake residents. These antics are conducted with the intent
that the land never be developed and the hopes City Council members will
abandon the land use plan in favor of no development or development far into the
i future. We all know that the 114 corridor will be developed eventually, the FNB
project is right for Southlake.
i
My spouse and I are strong believers in property rights. The proposed site has a
right to be developed in accordance with the city's land use plan and since this use
is office and a bank offers a low impact use we believe this use tits very well on
this site.
(Thanks for allowing my spouse and I to voice our opinions on the FNB development.
Please approve the site plan with the requested variances.
Sincerely,
Chad & Lynee Cross

To whom it may concern,
My name is Bryan Elliott and I reside at 935 W. Dove Rd. in Southlake. I have been a Southlake resident for 20 years.
First National has been a great partner to both myself and this community for a lot of those years. It is absurd to think that
the 114 corridor is not going to be developed. I have seen the renderings for this location and find it to be of high quality. I
live within a 1/4 of a mile of this location and I feel the traffic impact will be negligible to area residents. Cindy Campbell is
a high character person who will follow through and produce a project consistent with our community's standards. I urge
the council to vote to approve First National's plan and keep one of our community's leading businesses in Southlake.

Bryan Elliott

FNB is an example of a great business that Southlake should be proud of. It is amazing how they have survived and grown In Southlake

Ken,
Good morning. I would like to offer my positive and overwhelming SUPPORT for First National Bank and their project on
SH114. I own the property at 395 W SH114, which is 1,500'from the subject development. Their building and banking
business will have a great impact on our property, the 114 corridor and the City of Southlake. This tract is the western
gateway to Southlake and I believe that the proposed building will be exactly what we as city residents and business
owners would hope for this location, which is a well-designed building with great materials and home to one of our finest
home grown businesses. I don't think we could hope for more.
On a personal note, I have been a friend of the bank since its inception some 15 years ago. They treat their customers
as family. Cindy Campbell, the president and CEO, is a noble lady of high character and moral integrity and I am proud to
call her a great friend.
As a neighboring property, business owner and resident, I would plead with the city to approve this project. If not, we
would be doing an injustice for one of our own who wants to continue being a part of our local community. Please don't
run them off for the noise of a few loud and vocal complaintants.
Sincerely,
Bobby Harrell

Subject: re: Proposed Development at the southeast corner of Shady Oaks and Dove
Dear Mayor& Council Members,
As you may or may not be aware, there is a proposed commercial development in the works at the Southeast
corner of Shady Oaks Dr. and Dove R. (at 114)According to the 2035 Consolidated Future Land Use Plan, this property
(which is currently zoned as agriculture) has a recommended land of office-commercial. (Map 6B 2035 plan). The First
National Bank has proposed a large building to be developed on this site and will be requesting a zoning change at the P
&Z meeting this Thursday, March 21. 1 respectfully request that this re-zoning &development be tabled indefinitely.
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/O?ik=178f934086&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-f%3Al 628442982223623473%7Cmsg-f%3Al 6284429822236... 1/3
3/21/2019 Ci.southlake.tx.us Mail-Fwd: FW:Proposed Development at the southeast corner of Shady Oaks and Dove
As you may or may not know, there are numerous multi-million-dollar homes on Shady Oaks. Our neighborhood
of Garden Court is a small sub-division of 13 homes that are valued at$1,000,000+. We are located approximately'/4 mile
from this proposed development. Although we are not directly across from this proposed bank, I believe this development
will have dire consequences to this street and the values of our homes in Northwest Southlake.
In October of 2018, my husband and I attended the SPIN meeting when the bank presented their plan of building
a 3-story, 16,000 sf building to be built on this property. In addition to the rendering of the development, they brought
several specialists who were brought in to try and "sell"this development to potential future neighbors. There
presentation fell short as many of the homeowners expressed their concerns which were not addressed by this
developer. In fact, one of the many concerns was that there would be a curb cut(entrance) directly onto Shady Oaks. In
addition, according to this developer and renderings, the trees would be clear cut on the back of the property due to the
2035 plan requirements of having a 50 foot setback from the 114-access road. My understanding is that about 90% of the
natural trees will be removed and replaced with ornamentals.
Here are a few of the other concerns that were voiced at the SPIN meeting that haven't been properly addressed:
1. The highway noise has consistently gotten louder with the increasing traffic on 114 over the last 10 years. If
the trees get cleared on Shady Oaks, this noise will diminish the housing values on this beautiful street. We
requested that a noise study be conducted by the developer and to my knowledge, this was not initiated or
investigated. With 114 becoming the front yard of the homeowners and neighborhoods on Shady Oaks, a
noise study should be a requirement of re-zoning this property. (at a minimum!)
According to the LU1 on Table 3 (114 corridor plan p. 31), recommendation#2 states, "Future Development
on these properties should be approved in a manner that is sensitive to potential impacts on adjacent
residential areas, particularly as related to noise, traffic, building heights, lighting &views."
Although this development isn't in LU1, it is the closest in proximity to LU1.
2. There is a flooding problem on Shady Oaks. Last Fall, we experienced 8 inches of rainfall over a 24-hour
period. The creek on the West side of the street flooded (which has happened more that 20 times since I have
lived here). The flooding was so bad that cars couldn't get through the road and had to turn around. The water
table in this area is extremely high. In fact, there is a natural spring almost adjacent to the proposed
development. There needs to be a water study by an independent water engineer(not on the bank's payroll)
of this area to understand the impact of additional concrete that will further impede and impact waterflow on
Shady Oaks.
3. The traffic has only gotten worse in the area with the new neighborhood on Dove and Sabre. There are
certain times of day that the cars on Shady Oaks have great difficulty getting onto Dove Road. Having a
business with access to this same street will only increase the traffic and create more difficulty for the
Homeowner's living in this area. In fact, it is possible that people may use the bank access as a "cut through"
to avoid traffic on the 114-access road.
4. Cutting down the trees on Shady Oaks is more than just a business decision, its an aesthetic issue. Some of
these trees are more than 100 years old. Shady Oaks is a unique street in the fact that it has a canopy of
trees that protects the integrity of the homes and neighborhoods that it buffers from Hwy 114. According to
LU1 recommendation #9 (Table 3 S.H. 114 corridor plan p. 31), "Development should be sensitive to the
existing tree cover and attempts should be made during the planning process to maximize tee cover along with
natural features and topography."
I believe the 2035 Corridor plan was designed as more of a guideline than a "set in stone" plan that is to be
implemented without regards to impacts on residents of Southlake. From what I have read, this plan is put in place to
protect homeowners rather than create developments that decrease property values.
My husband and I are long-time residents of Southlake. We moved to this city in 1995 and have seen a lot of
changes to this city, some good and some not so good. We both work in this city and have raised our children here. In
addition, we have paid property taxes and been involved in this community. As respected citizens of this unique
community, we ask that you consider taking time to investigate the consequences of developing this piece of property on
Shady Oaks. The impact of this decision may re-shape the landscape of our beloved city.
Please feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss our concerns in person.

Subject: re: Proposed development at Dove/114/Shady Oaks
Dear Mayor and Council Members,
I am reaching out to you for a second time regarding the proposed re-zoning and commercial development at Dove and
114 that will be presented at the Council meeting on Tuesday, April 16. My husband and I oppose this proposed 1 st
National Bank development on the 2 acres that are adjacent to 114 and Shady Oaks. The following are a few of the
reasons we oppose said development.
1. 1 feel that the building is too large for the space and will not leave an adequate natural buffer between 114 and
Shady Oaks. Why does a relatively small sized bank need such a large building? My concern is not only the
physical size but the possibility that the bank will eventually be acquired by a very large bank. This could lead to
more traffic in an already very busy intersection. Why can't the council ask the property owner to develop a
"Master Plan"for the full 7 acres they own instead of"chopping up"the land into various developments? Having
cross parking for businesses would cut down on the number of spots needed.
2. 1 have to voice my concern once again regarding the drainage problem on Shady Oaks. I was told by one
council member that drainage issues aren't a city problem. I completely disagree. Drainage problems lead to
street problems which is definitely a city issue. This has been a problem for homeowners along Shady Oaks for
years. In fact, we had flooding along the street this past Saturday when Southlake received 2 inches of rain.
3. Another problem we have with the development, is that the applicant is requesting a tree variance. This type of
development has a 40%tree retainage requirement. Why is it that commercial development has different
standard than residential development? Homeowners are required to follow the tree ordinances. I believe that
commercial properties should be held to the same standards.
4. Are you aware that the intersection of 114 and Dove going south is the only exit off 114 that transitions directly to
residential? Shouldn't there be consideration of an orderly transition when the site in question is one of the only
remaining naturally forested areas of the city? By denying variances you have the opportunity to re-think
development of this unique 7-acre tract to minimize the aesthetic destruction of this beautiful gateway into our
portion of Southlake.
5. The intersection of Dove and 114 is quickly becoming a traffic nightmare during the hours of 7:30-9:30am and 3-
7pm. Between the TD Ameritrade phase I (with 2 more phases to come), Verizon complex, the school buses and
the majority of the traffic from the growing subdivisions along Dove in Southlake &Westlake the traffic count has
continued to grow over the past 10 years. Additionally, the east bound 114 exit at Dove is the only access to the
new development at White's Chapel and 114 which will continue to put noise and traffic in this tranquil estate
homes area. Therefore, I reiterate that a thoughtful master plan of the 7 acres be examined and the current bank
request should be denied.
6. Finally, while I respect the volunteer hours by the Mayor and City Council, I believe there is a conflict of interest
by having Council members and planning and zoning commission members also serving on the 2035 Corridor
committee. Because the 2035 corridor committee has developed the proposed land use for the remaining
property on 114 and those same people are voting to approve new development; it appears to many residents
(and voters) in Southlake that a vested interest is involved in any approvals toward the 2035 corridor plan. I feel
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/O?ik=178f934086&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-f%3A1630887877340586696%7Cmsg-f%3A16308878773405... 1/2
4/16/2019 Ci.southlake.tx.us Mail-Re:FW:Proposed development at Dove/114/Shady Oaks
that this lack of segregation needs to be addressed before any development is approved in such a special area
in our special community.
As previously stated, we realize that the council and Mayor work in a voluntary capacity. That being said, we feel that
the homeowner's voices are falling on deaf ears. Commercial development in Southlake appears to be steam rolling
ahead and the quality of that development is clearly eroding based upon the most recent projects opened along 114,
excluding Granites STS building. The vacancy rates for our current retail and office space has to be at an all time
high. Let's get this space occupied before building new structures.
On a final note, please consider denying or tabling the 1 st National Bank development. Take some time to consider a
better option for this space that will appeal to the adjacent neighbors. PLEASE do not say"our hands are tied" and
defer to the City Attorney. Residents are very tired of hearing that line from Council members. Your decisions are
creating the legacy for which you will be remembered. The Council has demonstrated in the past it will stand up for
the right thing when it is clear what the right thing is for the community. And in the words of Objective 1.1 of the
Southlake 2035 Goals& Objectives, follow through with this objective to"ENCOURAGE THE ENHANCEMENT OF
EXISING NEIGHBORHOODS, FEATURES AND AMENITIES IN ORDER TO PRESERVE THE PROPERTY VALUES
AND A UNIQUE SENSE OF PLACE."
Thanks for your time.

Dear Mayor and City Council,
Hello my name is Claire Parrott. My husband Alex and I live at 807 Cross Lane. We wanted to let you know that we are in
favor of approving the FNB bank project and of approving the zooming change from agriculture to office.
The corner of Dove and Hwy 114 is one of the main entrances into our town and this property is considered the "Gateway
to Southlake". For well over a decade we have been waiting on corporations to move their headquarters to Southlake
and FNB is the right project for our town today. It would be a shame if a few loud Southlake residents who are working to
kill this great project, risk letting FNB move down the street to Westlake. The proposed building is beautiful and the site is
going to be one of the most treed and landscaped lots in all of Southlake.
As a Southlake resident, I believe that First National Bank of town square, a home-grown, local bank is a perfect fit for the
proposed site. Despite what others may say about keeping this corner as an in landscaped, overgrown trees weeds and
vines, this project is just about an exact match of what the 2035 plan proposes for this tract of land. The proposed bank
development meets the current overlay of office zoning and is a very light use which benefits neighbors on Shady Oaks.
Alex and I are for property rights and are in favor of high quality, developments that meet the land-use plan like this
development.
We have kids in Southlake Schools and this development increases our city's tax base which is good for our citizens and
our underfunded schools.
The thoughtful design of this development is visually pleasing. The landscape plan is extensive and beautiful. We
believe a well-manicured lawn like the one proposed is more attractive for the entrance to our city than the current land
use. Furthermore, this is property on a frontage road of a busy highway. This site is ideal for a 3-story office building.
I've read in the bank's package that there is opposition complaining about the proposed site being below the tree
preservation ratio. I would ask that you use this as a guideline and consider the entire look of the site especially the total
number of mature trees and proposed trees. I can't think of another site that will have this many trees on the site.
Change is inevitable; please support this project because it is best for our community.
Thank you,
Claire Parrott

Subject: Proposed Street Cut on Shady Oaks for Bank
Shady Oaks is turning into a very busy two lane street. In the morning we have traffic from the school, now people that
were using Highland to get to the Frontage Road(before the closure)are using Shady Oaks, and more residents are
using the road. This will add to the congestion, especially at Dove Road and Shady Oaks, where in the peak travel times
is almost impossible to make a turn. I would ask that you vote against this project.
They are also cramming a building onto a piece of land that is too small to accommodate their plans. Also, we will be
losing a lot of mature trees in the process.

Dear City of Council & Southlake Representatives,
My name is David Kilpatrick and I live at 2800 Rainforest Ct, Southlake, TX .
Please be advised that my wife and I support the current request for a zoning
change and site plan for the proposed FNB project, moving the property from its
current Agricultural designation to S-P-1 . I had the opportunity to review the
Southlake Planning & Development Staff Report, and it would seem the FNB Bank
project is well suited for the space and falls directly within the parameters set forth in
the Southlake 2030 Plan. As I reside in a Southlake neighborhood that is zoned for
large, acre lots, I can sympathize with the concerns raised by some of the area
neighbors but I believe the bank has more than adequately addressed these
concerns. Having a bank headquarters at the entrance to our city would seem be
positive step in the overall development of Southlake. The site will tastefully
landscaped and maintained, while adding significantly to the City's overall tax base.
This should be juxtaposed to the site's current condition, as an unmaintained,
overgrown lot that collects little in tax revenue by way of its current Ag designation.
Thank you for your consideration.
Regards,
David

Dear Mayor Hill,
I hope this note finds you well. As you are no doubt aware, a zoning case is coming to P&Z Thursday related to the
development of a proposed bank drive-thru facility at 2001 Shady Oaks.
I believe this is an important case and decision for our city leaders, given the unique characteristics along Shady Oaks
and the fact that there are few if any parcels of land that are between Highway 114 and a residential street with estate
homes, similar to this. The gateway provided by Shady Oaks into many of our residential neighborhoods is truly special
and sets the tone for what makes Southlake such an incredible community to live and raise a family.
Forward looking discipline in making the right long-term development decisions for our community has been a hall mark
of our city leadership over the years. This is one of those times. I hope that you will thoughtfully consider this upcoming
decision and consider rejecting the zoning change request. I am attaching a statement that I will read at Thursday's P&Z
meeting outlining my thoughts in greater detail as to why I believe this is the correct course of action.
Thank you for your careful consideration of this important issue and I hope I can count on you and your longstanding
vision for"what is best for our community"to result in a negative vote on this case.
Respectfully,
Greg Kraus

First, I want to thank and commend the P&Z committee for its hard work that goes toward
maintaining and enhancing the living experience of Southlake residents, as it focuses on
maintaining high quality and thoughtfulness of new development in our community.
I’m here this evening in opposition of the requested zoning change of the site at 2001 Shady
Oaks. My reasons for opposing the zoning change, to initially allow development of a bank
drive-thru facility are several, which I will try to outline here.
Before I get into my rationale, I want to say that I realize that the Highway 114 corridor
committee made broad land use recommendations for the entire 114 corridor through
Southlake. This was a large project tackled by neighborhood volunteers. I understand that in
coming up with the S-P-1 zoning recommendation there was an attempt to create a consistent
overlay to a large area of land.
The problem with this approach is that to maintain the unique character of our community,
sometimes we must focus on the details rather than simply the whole. In this case, there is a
small swath of land that fronts both Highway 114 as well as estate homes lined Shady Oaks. I
would hope that as you review the details of this site you would be open to re-visiting details of
this zoning request that I believe are inconsistent with maintaining a great community. When
your fellow neighbors come together in concern about details of thi s zoning plan where we live
day to day those concerns should be taken seriously.
My opposition to changing this land from Agricultural zoning designation to S-P-1 is rooted in
maintaining the unique character of our community that generations of Southlake leaders and
political figures have crafted over the years.
Specifically, my opposition is based upon this commercial zoning designation being
incompatible with the adjacent residential already in place.
There are certain gateways to the town of Southlake that create the unique character of our
community and this is one of them. By changing the zoning, the city leaders, of which you all
are a part, will:
• Destroy some of the limited remaining naturally forested land in our community.
• Put incompatible uses of a bank drive-thru facility directly across from estate homes.
This alone should be reason to reject the zoning change. It will only be the start as
additional commercial is programed further down Shady Oaks, if this zoning change is
approved.
• Increased traffic and congestion in an area that is already seeing greatly increased traffic
along Dove and Shady Oaks. This will only increase as the new approved residential
development at Shady Oaks and 1799 progresses.
• Permanently destroy one of the most unique gateways to residential neighborhoods,
changing forever the character of this part of Southlake and negatively impacting home
values going forward.
If you are looking at this site pragmatically, I find it hard for you to come to any other
conclusion that S-P-1 zoning is inappropriate for this site and further up Shady Oaks.
If this zoning case is approved, we neighbors will likely next be subjected to paying for
inadequate drainage design by the engineers that worked on the Shady Oaks residential
development across from Durham. Many of these same consultants are working on this drive-
thru bank development. This inadequate design has increased downstream flooding along
Shady Oaks that we now face. I fear the price we will pay is the city destroying the natural
setting and flow of this stream through our neighborhood to remedy mistakes make elsewhere.
This will further destroy the unique setting of our neighborhood that nature has provided.
In closing, as fellow neighbors, I hope you will look at this zoning case from our perspective.
This is a special gateway into Southlake and this site shou ld be preserved as agricultural zoning.
Please have the vision to say no here. Your courage and leadership in preserving our
community, as the unique and special place it is, will be applauded by many future generations
of Southlake residents to come.
Thank you.

I encourage everyone that has an opinion or concern to pose them directly to the Council.

I understand that this application will be before council on May 21 st. I would like to reiterate the points I previously
mentioned in the attached letter.
Additionally,I am concerned regarding the storm water drainage. I realize that on this issue,everyone points to the
engineer and says"but,he says it is OK". 1 understand that the proposed site drains to the North.My concern is that the
proposed site may need a conduit for the adjacent land,to the South,to drain through. The land to the South cannot drain
onto the FM 114 feeder,so the only place for it to go is onto Shady Oaks. Then the water will be pushed on the land of
adjacent home owners on Shady Oaks. If a drainage plan does not include the adjacent land to the South,adequate drainage
for the area is not being properly considered.
Many thanks for considering my points. I am out of town next week. I will look forward to hearing your comments,third
hand.
Sincerely,

Dear Madame Mayor and City Council Members:
As you know, I have been outspoken about the subject proposed development..... I'm sure my notes have become
tiresome.
While, in my perfect world, I would like to see the 7-acre tract between 114 and Shady Oaks remain in its natural,
undeveloped state, I realize that is no longer realistic.
I simply want this note to reflect my appreciation for the steady approach and leadership the Council took during the first
reading at last Tuesday's meeting.
You were prepared, thorough in your coverage of the issues raised by this proposed development and displayed a
balanced, firm and fair approach to the discussion. I realize I won't necessarily see the outcome I personally desire for
this land but believe that the result will maximize tree preservation, limit the visual impact from Shady Oaks and require a
plan for the remaining 5 acres, which actually is the most beautiful piece of this tract, requiring a sensitive development
plan.
I want to commend each of you for your leadership on display at the May 21 st council meeting,focusing on both the big
picture issues of a cohesive plan for the entire 7-acre tract as well as the nuances of a thoughtful development plan for
the 2.2 acre bank site.

City Council Agenda—April 16th,2019-6:00 PM
Mayor Hill and City Council Members,
My name is Kelly Marcontell. My husband (Donnie Marcontell) and I are in OPPOSITION to the First National Bank
development. We have lived in Southlake for 16 years and 11 of those years have been at 600 Garden Court, which is a
charming little street on the south west corner from the proposed bank building.
I know several of you personally and I have never been one to complain to the city council. I've supported and helped get
out the vote for some of your personal campaigns.
I'm thankful to God that we've been able to live and raise our family in this awesome community. I'm obviously very
invested in the community as a top-selling real estate agent in the Southlake/Westlake area for the past 17 years. I
worked for Bobby Harrell with Terra Land for 7 years, selling in some of Southlake's most popular custom neighborhoods
such as Estes Park, Clariden Ranch, Sandlin Manor, Shady Oaks and Westlake's Terra Bella. Clearly, I am for
development but NOT projects that adversely affect the property values of what we've built and sold here in our
town.
I'm aware of the future possibility that there would be something built on the space in question. However, my reasonable
expectation was that instead of a 3-story bank building, it would be congruent with the one-story, small office building
Bobby Harrell built directly to the southeast of where the bank is proposed to be build. In addition, the next parcel to be
developed,just to the southeast, has major topography challenges. This parcel will surely result in more trees being
taken down, due to the grading requirements that will push this development closer to Shady Oaks. If you vote and
approve this property for the bank, residents will become very concerned with future development within the next 5-acre
parcel.
I am certain you are aware that the intersection of 114 and Dove going south is the only exit off 114 that transitions
directly to residential? Shouldn't there be a STRONG consideration of an orderly transition, when the site in question is
one of the only remaining naturally forested areas of the city along 114? By denying variances, you have the opportunity

to re-think development of this unique 7-acre tract to minimize the aesthetic destruction of this beautiful gateway into our
portion of Southlake.
I am on the record letting you know that I do support First National Bank's business and recommend them to my clients,
particularly for construction loans. I have nothing negative to say about the bank.
I have personally sold 12 of the lots in Quail Hollow that First National is likely providing some of the loans for. I never
imagined they would want to put a new building on the heavily treed land across the street from my personal home and
on a feeder road that leads to 114. In addition, to it being in the site line of some of Southlake's premier family home
estates. Personally, I don't think it makes business sense for them to be there. Furthermore, the bank president has
attempted to"sell" concerned neighbors on the project stating that a Starbucks or convenient store could be built there
instead. That's disingenuous as she knows that is not possible.
Shady Oaks has always had a unique charm and I love driving clients down our road. Many parts, especially the north
side of Shady Oaks, still have that rural feel we have lost in so many of the other areas.
We request that you please limit future developments along this parcel of land and the 5 acres next to it, to something
similar to what Bobby Harrell has built just next to it and other one-story business parks like off of Countryside 2 blocks up
from the site. In doing so it would also uphold the tree ordinance to help with the visibility and ease the noise of the 114
highway.
We appreciate your consideration of our thoughts and requests.
Sincerely,
Kelly and Donnie Marcontell

Dear City of Council & Southlake Representatives,
My name is Tom Murphy and I live at 1304 Houston Court, Southlake TX .
Please know that my spouse and I are 100% for the FNB project and for
approving the rezoning of the FNB site to office from Agriculture. This project is a perfect fit with the
land use plan and having the FNB Bank at this site will be a beautiful entrance into our city.
Thank you,

For City Council Agenda—April 16th, 2019-6:00 PM
My name is Chad Peters and my family and I live at 1816 Shady Oaks Dr, Southlake, Texas. I can be reached by phone
at (817) 980-4860 or by email at . I welcome any communication. No one has reached out to us
since this process began (regardless of the applicant's claims).
Our home is located on Shady Oaks and will be directly facing whatever future development occurs on the 7 acre tract
between Shady Oaks and 114.
My wife and i have been a part of the recent P&Z session as well as a meeting with Chad Patton as part of our
neighborhood's effort to combat the currently proposed zoning change for the plot of land across from our home. I'm
aware that you all have heard various complaints from the other estate home owners in the area but I wanted to take a
moment to formally submit my concerns for your consideration.
Concerns grouped below for clarification:
Requested Variances
The current applicant("the Bank") has requested several variances which seem highly inappropriate given (a)the
proximity to estate homes and (b)the destruction of natural beauty which makes Shady Oaks one of the last remaining
scenic drives into Southlake. I realize that development is inevitable (to an extent) but upholding/mandating the rules for
said development is the responsibility of City Council and a responsibility that tax payers rely on to maintain the value of

4/16/2019 Ci.southlake.tx.us Mail-Fwd: FW: Regarding Application by First National Bank for Zoning Change
their properties. The removal of more than the required tree coverage and the reduction of sidewalk widths are
unacceptable variances to request when bordering estate homes. The Bank should not be allowed to remove more than
the mandated coverage, and skirting the rule by replacing 10"-12"trees with 3"-5"trees shouldn't be allowed. If they can't
build on the lot per the requirements of the city(w/o variances)they should find somewhere else to build. Requirements
are put in place for good reasons and should be adhered to, especially when in extreme proximity to residences.
Increased Traffic
The Bank has repeatedly attempted to satiate the bordering neighbors with claims that their drive through will only receive
—11 vehicles per day. This is a ridiculous claim (one of several)that no reasonable person could take as fact. This is most
notably a misrepresentation because they are making this claim based on current drive through volume. Their entire
reason for moving to a new location is to grow and acquire another bank(their own words). So, we're expected to believe
they want to grow but their drive through volume will stay the same?This Bank will bring new levels of traffic onto this
small, two lane residential road which has already been strained from the recent opening of the Marq. Shady
Oaks/Dove/114 is already a dangerous and congested intersection with awkward turns and right-aways. Adding to that
congestion and confusion will certainly become a hazard. There's no way bikers (of which there are hundreds per week)
will continue to be able to enjoy this scenic ride through Southlake. In none of their proposals have they attempted to
address increased traffic flow.
Safety
Under the current proposal(s), the Bank has offered a "living wall" as a barrier to our homes. This should not be
considered a viable barrier between commercial properties and estate homes. If this development happens, an actual
wall should be mandated by the city. The wall should be landscaped much like all of the other existing walls in the city
between properties of this nature. I can't think of another area in the city where that hasn't been mandated in the decade
that I've lived here. The appropriate setbacks, sidewalks and physical barriers should be mandated without question.
This is seen as a huge safety issue to our neighborhood. Without a physical barrier and appropriate setbacks, anyone
can walk directly across the road, onto our properties and have easy access to our homes with even easier access to flee
the scene.
False Claims and Scare Tactics
The Bank president has continuously"worked" people to get this proposal pushed through. To her benefit, the two closest
residents to her property are both just now building houses and have never lived on this street. She used that advantage
to convince them that the Bank was the"best option". She stated (also in my presence)that"it's the Bank or a 7/11". Her
behavior and tactics have been deplorable. Business is business, I understand that. But her claims and approach is far
from inclusive or neighborly as she so often likes to claim when presenting to the city. I realize this point is a bit intangible
but felt worth noting given the grossness of her conduct throughout this process. Are we to expect her to be a better
neighbor for some reason AFTER she get's her way? I expect the opposite based on behavior to date.
Master Plan Considerations
As you're aware, the Bank proposal is on a 2.2 acre portion of a 7 acre contiguous tract. The owner of the remaining —5
acres has attended all of the recent meetings regarding the Bank property. He's waiting patiently to see what you approve
so he can sell/build based on that guidance. What you approve now has potentially devastating repercussions for the
remainder of the tract. This other—5 acres is DIRECTLY in front of our homes. I believe this should be taken into the
highest of considerations so that whatever decisions are made now for the Bank, are mutually beneficial to those of us
that will have to closely share this portion of Southlake with future businesses. To that end, I would like you to consider
this as an area that deserves a master plan approach since the mandates for the Bank will need to also be carried
forward for any other development that occurs on this piece of land. If this areas isn't properly planned, our home values
will plummet. That seems both highly unfair and incredibly within your power to regulate.
In summary, it feels as though we, as long time tax paying Southlake residents, are not being adequately heard
throughout this process. Sure, the required notices are being posted and you've allowed us to speak at city meetings. But,
variances are being given with little or no regards to those that it will impact the most. We have yet to be offered any
concessions, regardless of our unified voice against this proposal. The P&Z committee (every single one of them)said
how they agree with our concerns, and then all promptly voted for the proposal. We met with Chad Patton (very nice of
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/O?ik=178f934086&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-f%3A1630976969911632649%7Cmsg-f%3A16309769699116... 2/3

him) and the answers were basically the same. "I agree with your concerns, but it's basically up to the city attorney". That
can't be the only answer. You can't be that powerless.
My family and our concerned neighbors are all spending time and energy on something that feels hopeless at the
moment. We should be able to convey a unified voice and it be heard by those that represent us. The easiest thing for
you to do is cower behind attorneys and future land use"plans" (they're called plans for a reason, they aren't
laws/regulations/mandates)as a way to avoid dealing with an understandably contentious decision. I'm sure the Bank is
good for the city. But, shouldn't you as elected city officials be a voice of reason in situations like these?To stand up for
the citizens you represent when they beg you to do so? I beg you to drive down our street sometime soon. To revel in it's
winding, tree covered beauty and to ask yourself, would a bank look good right here across from these multi-million dollar
homes?What would this intersection be like with 20% more traffic? If I lived on this street how would I feel?Are there
better places for this bank to build?Are there reasonable ways to make this a safe situation for our citizens?What can I
do to make this better for these residents...not just for the Bank owner?
Please do something.
Thank you for your time, service and (hopefully)consideration in this matter.

Subject: Re: First National Bank Application
I am writing to address the application for development of property located at 2100 Shady Oaks by First National Bank,
which is being heard at the May 21 st meeting of the Southlake City Council. I will be out of town and unable to attend, so
I submit this letter for your consideration.
I have several concerns regarding the proposed development, as currently approved: safety of our homes and persons;
traffic safety; additional drainage/flooding problems along Shady Oaks; and a commercial development that clear cuts a
majority of the natural forestation, effectively destroying the natural and unique character of our neighborhood.
Safety of our homes and persons: The proposal calls for a "living wall" between the Bank and Shady Oaks—a hedge
between a commercial development built across the street from an established neighborhood of estate homes is wholly
insufficient in providing adequate safety. I am, frankly, stunned that any Corridor Committee Member or P &Z Member
could possibly approve of this. The Corridor committee asked the Bank to move the development back from the 114
feeder to leave trees between the highway and the Bank. But moving the building back puts it too close to Shady Oaks to
allow for the standard setbacks and sidewalk. Consider this: bank robber first shines his car headlights into the window
of the home across the street when he parks his car(annoying enough), robs the bank, or doesn't,just kicks in the
door across the street. After his criminal episode is complete, he simply walks back through his"living wall", gets in his
car,jumps on the freeway entrance which is conveniently located right there, and he is gone in 3 minutes. Every other
commercial development in Southlake that is next to residential has a nice stone wall and it is unacceptable to consider
anything less. In fact, development on the south end of Shady Oaks has stone walls, standard size sidewalks and 20 -30
foot setback. How can anyone consider requiring less on the northern end of the street?

5/20/2019 Ci.southlake.tx.us Mail-Fwd:FW:First National Bank Application
Traffic Safety: the Dove/Shady Oaks/Hwy.114 intersection has a significant number of auto accidents because it is
a high-traffic area and has design issues with the short turn onto Shady Oaks, and has no right turn lane onto the feeder
from Dove East. An ATM will attract people using GPS, going down Shady Oaks, getting lost in our neighborhood. An
entrance from the Bank development onto Shady Oaks is absolutely unacceptable. There has been a significant increase
of traffic on Shady Oaks with the building of The Marq, the new subdivision going in at 1709, along with the standard folks
going to Durham and 1709. Speeding is a big problem that isn't addressed because there is no place for a speed trap.
The large trucks hauling rocks and dirt are speeding and destroying the street daily.
Additional drainage/flooding on Shady Oaks: Shady Oaks floods every time there is a heavy rain in several places;
but, specifically between the entrance into Garden Court, up to and including 2000 Shady Oaks, where the bridge is
damaged from the flooding issues. We need additional drainage, culverts, and possibly, more research by the engineers.
When the damage from flooding is coupled with the damage from the large trucks, it ruins our street.
Destroys the character of Shady Oaks: This development will destroy our neighborhood if it is built the way that it is
currently approved. We moved to Southlake and invested in our homestead here for the community, and the Shady Oaks
neighborhood, in particular. As I have discussed above, the northern portion of our street is the most neglected by the
City. Work crews may come along and fill some of the holes after a heavy rain; but, that does not begin to address the
real repairs and upkeep necessary to properly address the ongoing damage. It is time for the infrastructure issues on
Shady Oaks to be addressed. As homeowners, we have always understood that this tract of land would be developed for
commercial use. We expect that the development will adhere to strict building requirements so as not to destroy a unique
community that is irreplaceable. We expect standard setbacks, standard sized sidewalks, maximum tree preservation, a
solid stone wall, ivy, evergreens. Homeowners on Shady Oaks have a sizable financial investment in maintaining the
integrity, safety and character of our street and we expect that our elected officials will support our efforts.
I thank each one of you for your volunteer service to our community. Thank you for your consideration of my concerns
and I look forward to hearing the outcome of the meeting.

Charlotte Ryan

Application by First National Bank for Zoning Change
Dove Road and FM 114
City Council Agenda – April 16th, 2019 - 6:00 PM
My name is Jeffrey Ryan. I live at 701 Garden Court, Southlake, Texas. My phone number is
(817) 965-2266. My email address is . I have been a Southlake resident
for over 10 years. My home is located at the front of the Garden Court Subdivision and my
property line reaches the corner of Garden Court and Shady Oaks. My property will be directly
across the street from the future “office” development along Shady Oaks.
Objections to the Application
The land being sold to the Bank is part of a larger tract that includes the property between the Bank
and Dove Road. I believe the remaining tract is in a flood plain. My objection is that all of the
land, not just the part being sold to the Bank, should be required to have a plan for resident access,
or sidewalks. The sidewalks should extend along Shady Oaks from the Southern most point of the
bank property, all the way to Dove Road. The land owner should not be allowed to sell only a
portion of the tract, leaving a flood plain tract which will never be developed, without providing
resident access, or sidewalks, for the entire piece of property that is along Shady Oaks.
The applicant’s application is inconsistent with the zoning requirements adopted by the City of
Southlake. Banks fall into two categories (1) “Office District” (2) “Local Retail Commercial
District”. Neither of these categories are specifically identified in the “future use” land plan for
the tract in question. The future land plan for the tract implies Office/Service uses . The Office
District restrictions allows a two-story (plus) building. The Local Retail Commercial District
restrictions do not allow a two-story building.
A Bank is an Office/Service use, which could be defined as “retail” due to the use of a drive
through and customer service. The Bank wants to follow regulations for an Office District, which
will allow a multi-story use, and has more limited building standards. However, they want a drive
through and will be providing customer services which is more of a retail type use. They should
be held to the highest standards possible which are the regulations related to a Local Retail
Commercial District, which does not allow a two-story building.
I am not aware a bank in Southlake, that has a drive-through, that is not on land which was
originally zoned as “Retail”.
The Bank has represented that only 11 customers per day will use their drive-through facilities. If
one day, the Bank is sold to Wells Fargo, that will become 211 customers a day. The Bank verbally
implied, to many area residents, that in the event the Bank is not built, then the tract use will be a
convenience store or Starbucks. The point being, that through this process, the Bank has been
disingenuous, and you should have no remorse in the denial of their application.
Considerations if the Bank is Approved
Setbacks
The setbacks along Shady Oaks vary from 30-40 feet. One of the most recent developments along
Shady Oaks, is the Shay Oaks Subdivision directly across the street from Dawson Middle School.
There is a 30-foot setback from the street to the wall that separates the school from the residential
development. The setback along Shady Oaks and Bi-Centennial Park ranges from 30-40 feet.
These already established setbacks should be the MINIMUM for any considered development
along Shady Oaks.
Stone or Masonry Wall
We do not want to see the Bank building built, but if it is going to be built, then it MUST have a
wall along Shady Oaks. The Bank development will be setting a standard for any future
development along Shady Oaks. We want to see the unique rural charact er of our neighborhood
maintained and enhanced by future development.
The Bank must build a 10-foot masonry, or stone, wall along Shady Oaks (1) to be consistent with
other commercial developments in Southlake (2) to help maintain our residential property values
(3) create an impervious barrier to reduce lights on homes and cars on Shady Oaks and (4) for the
safety and security of our homes, families, and neighborhood.
There is almost no commercial development in Southlake without a wall, barrier, or fence
separating commercial development and residences (can you think of one?). Why would we now
allow a commercial development to occur across the street from estate homes without a wall?
There is a wall between Dawson Middle School and Shady Oaks Subdivision homes. If a wall is
required between a school and residences, why would we not require a wall between an
office/service center commercial development and estate homes?
The Bank development will reduce the residential property values for homes along Shady Oaks.
People simply pay less for a home that is across the street from commercial development. And,
while the incremental property tax loss to the City is marginal, it is NOT marginal to the home
owners along Shady Oaks. The last place I want to be in life is trying to sell my $1M home, that
is across the street from a parking garage, with no barrier between my home and the parking
garage. Because, that is where the thieves park, when they walk across the street, to rob my home,
or worse.
At night, individuals driving around the bank, or parking, will be directing their car lights onto
Shady Oaks and the homes in the area. This may not be an issue in the summer, but in the winter,
it can be dark by 5:30. There should be a wall between the Bank and Shady Oaks to minimize
lights glaring on homes and cars driving on Shady Oaks.
The Bank has proposed a “living wall” that is enhanced landscaping. If they want a living wall,
then they should build a stone wall, just like Shady Oaks Subdivision, including the climbing ivy
on both sides of the wall (note: Shady Oaks Subdivision wall has climbing ivy). A living wall as
proposed by the Bank creates a great place for thieves to park and walk across the street to rob the
estate homes. Or worse yet, a place for a rapist to hide and grab someone off the sidewalk.
Any Bank is also susceptible to being robbed. The location of this Bank is a bank robber’s dream.
A bank robber will have immediate access to FM 114, via the on-ramp directly in front of the
property. Then, within 4 minutes, the robber can reach the DFW Connector, and he is GONE.
The Lowe’s in Southlake has had numerous robberies due to their unfettered access to FM 114.
My family and I want as much between us and a bank robbery as we can possibly get. If that is a
not a 30-foot wall, then we at least want a 10-foot wall.
I appreciate your time and consideration of my comments.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey S. Ryan

Dear City of Council & Southlake Representatives,
My name is Dorian Sims and I live at 3119 Lake Drive, Southlake .
Please know that my spouse and I are 100% in support of the FNB project and for approving the rezoning of
the FNB site from Agriculture to office. This project is a perfect fit with the land use plan and having the
FNB Bank at this site would be a great addition to the entrance of our city.
Currently this land tract looks to be overgrown and unwelcoming a borderline flood zone. For years we
have been waiting for corporate headquarters to be built on the 114 corridor, and now we have an
opportunity to approve a home-grown, local bank's headquarters. What could be a better use than this?
I travel this intersection multiple times every single day and a bank is the perfect use for this property as
banks have very low traffic, and they work banking hours which means if residents are home after work or
on the weekend a bank is typically closed. There are not many uses that offer lower impact or a beautiful
inviting setting than a bank like FNB.
Thank you,
Dorian Sims

Dear Development of Southlake Members:
Hello my name is Dr. Felix Vasquez, Jr. My wife, Dina, and I are in favor of the proposed
development of First National Bank at Dove and 114. We live off of Dove & 114 and drive by
the proposed First National Bank site every day. We have lived in Southlake since 1999, and
have seen much development during our time here. Like many of our peers, we moved here for
the schools (our children attend CMS and CHS), and the lifestyle afforded to us by this
wonderful community. We have watched the Town of Southlake grow and change since we
moved to the area so long ago (right after town square was built).
We wanted to write you today and ask you to approve the rezoning of the FNB site to office
from agriculture. I know there is fervent discussion about the best uses for the land, but its
current designation does nothing for the tax revenue of the city, or schools and leaves local
residents without a neighborhood bank. As the CEO of a local business, we look at real estate
every day and the proposed development is prudent, high quality, and it improves our
community as a whole. In fact,we believe developing this site create more opportunities for the
area than the few it inconveniences that may arise from the site's development. It is our belief
that a well-architected office building with a manicured lawn would be more favorable than the
current aesthetics provide while improving the tax basis for the community.
For years, we wonder why so many companies their headquarters to nearby Grapevine when
Southlake is such a wonderful location with talented resources. We have an opportunity to
approve a home-grown, local bank's headquarters. We believe that First National Bank of Town
Square is a great fit for the proposed site and aligns well with the 2035 land use plan. The bank
also meets the current overlay of office zoning.
I understand the importance of tree preservation on the site and feel the council should consider
that because the site is completely full of mature trees this site may be one of the most heavily
treed office developments in Southlake. Additionally,there is land surrounding the site that may
never be developed and will remain heavily wooded which allows for keeping in concert with
tree preservation while also increasing the tax basis for our under-funded schools.
Dina and I are for property rights and for following the land use plan,this development aligns
with the stated use in addition to being located on a busy highway. We urge you to support the
development of this property by approving this development.

of property.

Greetings. My name is Bill Webb and I am a resident of Southlake as well as a Southlake business owner. I am
communicating to express my full and wholehearted support of case ZA19-0011, an application to build the FNB project at
Dove and 114. 1 believe this building is an excellent use of the property and the design is indicative of the kind of quality
development in our City. I understand there may be some people who are opposed to this development. However, this
property will be developed sooner or later and this seems to be an exceptional use and plan and appears to be properly
aligned with the City of Southlake development guidelines and the long-term plan for the City. I urge staff and Council to
support this application and approve the development.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your service to our City.

Dear City Council and Southlake Representatives,
My name is Patti Weber and I live at 922 Turnberry Ln, Southlake, TX 76092. Please know that my Spouse and I are
100%for the FNB project and for approving the rezoning of the FNB site to office from agriculture. The project is the

I drive this way everyday, especially now with the White's Chapel construction. Everyone in Southlake knows with the
expansion of 114, all of the 114 corridor will be developed. We should embrace this project for several reasons.... First it
is a beautiful building with beautiful landscaping and will have very low traffic, second it is a local company headquarters
who are already invested in our community and care about Southlake, and third we will win on all fronts with the
improvement to our tax base which supports our community and schools (which is the reason we are growing -
outstanding schools)!!
Regards,
Patti Weber

First National Bank is a exemplary business. I've been a customer for 15
years and I am very happy with every facet of their banking business.
I encourage you to cooperate with them as they build to grow with Southlake.
