Chapel Blvd. and E. Dove Rd.
The purpose of this request is to seek approval of a Plat Revision to divide an
existing 2.28 acre single-family residential lot into 1.28 acre and 1.0 acre single-
family residential lots. Five lots currently have access to E. Dove Rd. by way of
an approximately 12’ wide private driveway in a 25’ roadway easement. The

Appraisal District)
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot 3R3, Block 1, Steward Addition
LAND USE CATEGORY: Low Density Residential
CURRENT ZONING: “SF-1A” Single Family Residential District
HISTORY: - The property was annexed into the City in 1957.
- A Plat Showing for Lots 1, 2 and 3, Block 1, Steward Addition was
approved March 15, 1983.

SOUTHLAKE 2035 PLAN: Consolidated Future Land Use Plan
The 2035 future land use designation for the site is “Low Density
Residential”.
Low Density Residenital:
The purpose of the Low Density Residential land use category is to
provide for and to protect low intensity detached single-family residential
development that promotes the openness and rural character of
Southlake.
Definition: The Low Density Residential category is for detached single-
family residential development at a net density of one or fewer dwelling
units per acre. Net density is the number of dwelling units per net acre,
which excludes acreage in all rights-of-way, easements, and lots
designated for public or private streets. Other suitable activities are
those permitted in the Public Parks / Open Space and Public / Semi-
Public categories. The Low Density Residential category encourages
the openness and rural character of the City of Southlake.
Mobility & Master Thoroughfare Plan
The subject property currently has access to E. Dove Rd. by way of an
approximately 12’ wide private driveway in a 25’ roadway easement.
The Master Thoroughfare Plan shows E. Dove Rd. to be a two-lane
undivided arterial with 88’ of right of way with the provision to improve
the roadway to a four-lane divided arterial when traffic counts on E.

The following should be informational comments only:
* A SPIN meeting was held March 14, 2019.
* It appears this property lies within the 65 'LDN D/FW Regional Airport Overlay Zone, requiring
construction standards in compliance with the Airport Compatible Land Use Zoning Ordinance
No. 479. Additionally, the Avigation Easement and Release shown in Appendix 3 of the

in the County Plat Records.
* All plats filed must have an original signed and stamped Tax Certificate submitted with it from
each taxing unit with jurisdiction of the real property, indicating that no delinquent taxes are
owed and that taxes for the current year have been paid. After September 1st, a certificate
showing that the taxes for that year are paid, but that the taxes for the upcoming year have yet
to be calculated is required. (House Bills 1563 & 3101). A copy of this information may be
obtained from the Tarrant County Tax Assessor/Collector’s Office located at 100 E.

$10 per account for this certificate. For more information contact the Assessor/Collector’s

approved. This will ensure adequate easements and finish floor elevations. Minimum finish
floor elevations may be required pending review of construction plans.
* In addition to the City of Southlake impact fees, please be aware that through the wholesale
water customer contract with the City of Fort Worth, all new water connections are required to
pay the City of Fort Worth impact fee. The City of Fort Worth impact fee assessment is based

review the City of Fort Worth's assessment and collection of Impact Fees Guide to determine
the fee amount.

and one blackline paper copy prior to filing the plat. The mylar and paper copies will not be
accepted if any erasures or original ink, other than signatures or seals, appear on the plat.

Developer's Agreement for this addition should consider streets, drainage, park dedication
requirements and fees, off-site sewer extensions, off-site drainage and utility easements and

Sediment Control Ordinance No. 946, as amended.
