ITEM #5 DISCUSSION — Review, discuss and make recommendations proposed
redevelopment of Florence Elementary School within the Keller ISD on
approximately 13.89 acres located at 3095 Johnson Rd., generally located on the
southeast Johnson Rd. and Harrell Dr.
Staff presentation: Patty Moos
• Proposing to build a new school at the south end of property
o North end of property is where the existing school is located
• Future Land Use: Public/Semi-Public
• Current Zoning: CS
• Adjacent to Royal and Annie Smith Park
• Proposed school — front section of the school will be one story, back section of
the school will be two story
Questions for staff by the Committee:
Frances Scharli: Are there plans to keep the existing school building?
Patty Moos: No, the old school will be demolished after the new one is built
Applicant presentation:
• November Bond Referendum Passed in KISD — this elementary school is slated
to be reconstructed with a new school
o Due to rising maintenance costs
• Existing school will remain active while the new school is being constructed
o Kids will attend existing school while new school is being built next to it
• Current elementary has 512 students
o The new elementary building will hold 572 students
• Currently 148 parking spaces on existing campus
o The idea is to expand parking with the new structure to have approx. 170
parking spaces
• Plans to improve queuing on the south side of the campus
• Maximum building height on east side of campus = 34ft
• Maximum building height on west side of campus = 34.4ft
• Buffers and residential adjacency are on our radar
Questions for applicant by the Committee:
Chad Patton: Why does the district want to demo the building and not just
remodel/expand/grow off the existing structure?
Applicant: The age of the building and the costs to maintain it are rising
(energy/maintenance costs). The district is looking at long term.
Austin Reynolds: Plans to demo the old school and just have open land?
Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #5 — Florence Elementary School
Meeting #26 — January 29, 2020 Page 3
Applicant: That is the current intent. Once the new building is constructed, the students
will move to new building and the old site will be demoed. No plans for any new
structures on the demoed site.
Michael Springer: Since all the parking is out on the road, I do not see any landscaping
to shield the parking lot. Please include landscaping and maintain it well to keep the
aesthetics looking nice.
Applicant: This is a tight site plan with what they want to accomplish. The burming will
be difficult because of an existing bar ditch, but we can work with a landscape architect
to provide more landscaping on the front.
Frances Scharli: Do you know if this property will connect to the park?
Applicant: There is a fence along the east property line, and there does not seem to be
any intention of connecting to the park; however, we will need to discuss.
Frances Scharli: I remember there was no interest for KISD to have a pathway, but
now there might be interest.
Ken Baker: There is a recommendation in our Parks Master Plan to include connectivity
to provide easier access to the park for residents that can use a portion of the school
property. There is an extensive walking trail through the park and adding a connection
point is a recommendation (if that could be accommodated).
Applicant: The only challenge with that is the school district wants to promote safety
and secure the building. They do not want someone to be able to come from the park
side to endanger the school, but we will see what we can do to satisfy everyone.
Daniel Kubiak: Have you had any dialogue with surrounding neighbors?
Applicant: Not yet, but I'll discuss that with the district and make that recommendation.
John Huffman: Will any playgrounds or playfields be lighted? Be mindful about
residential adjacency.
Applicant: They are not lighted now and possibly will not be.
Frances Scharli: SPIN is a good idea.
Jerod Potts: Applicant submitted a SPIN application for February 11th
