for the 13.09 acre development located at

The Conservation
Southlake, Texas
7 October 2020
Case # ZA20-0049
Sage Group, Inc.
This Residential Planned Unit Development shall abide by the all conditions of the
City of Southlake Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance No. 480, as amended, as it
pertains to the “SF-1A” Single-Family Residential zoning district; and the City of
Southlake Subdivision Ordinance No. 483, as amended:
The following regulations shall apply to all lots, except as noted:
Minimum House Size: All new houses constructed shall be a minimum of 4,000 s.f.
in floor area.
Street: A 25’ B-B pavement section with standard 6” curb, in a 40’ Access Easement
shall be provided along the frontage of the residential lots. The cul-de-sac shall
have a 100’ B-B outside diameter of paving, in a one hundred ten (110’) foot
diameter easement. Residential Lots shall not be required to front on a public
street. (Subdivision Ordinance No. 483, as amended, Article VIII Miscellaneous
Requirements, Section 8.01 Lotting Requirements, A.)
Sidewalks: In keeping with the nearby neighborhood conventions, no sidewalks
shall be required.
Side and rear lot lines shall be configured as shown on the Development Plan.
All newly constructed homes shall be required to be protected by a fire-suppression
sprinkler system.
No separate common open space lot shall be required, consistent with the normal
requirements of SF-1A zoning, which this development is patterned after.
In the Open Space, Pedestrian Access and Wildlife Easement, no construction or
living tree removal shall be allowed.
City sewer is and will not be available at this site, so this development requests a
waiver to the normal requirement, listed in Chapter 19, Article III, Division 2,
Section 19-88 of the Southlake Code or Ordinances, to install a sewage collection
system that extends to the development’s borders and throughout the
development.
Open Space Management Plan:
The “Access Easement,” and the “Open Space, Pedestrian Access and Wildlife
Easement” areas in the project, and common facilities such as the access road,
shall be maintained by a Homeowners Association (HOA), to be established for the
development. All other areas shall be the responsibility of the individual property
owners, including the front yards and required streetscape trees of the residential
lots. All property owners shall be required to be a member of the HOA. Dues
assessments, required for the maintenance of the landscape easement areas and
other HOA activities, shall be mandatory.
The HOA, through a resident Board of Directors, shall be responsible for the
maintenance and operation of the protected open space within the development,
either directly or through a third-party management company. No full-time
employees are contemplated to be necessary. The expenses required to maintain
the roadway and easement areas at a quality level shall be estimated annually by
the HOA Board, and dues shall be determined and assessed on each property
owner in an equitable fashion at such a rate as necessary to maintain such a level
of quality. The annual expenses for such open space maintenance are initially
estimated to be $8,000, or approximately $1,000 for each of the HOA homeowners.
Authority to enforce these requirements, and to place a lien on the property if such
dues are not paid, shall be in the form of written Deed Restrictions and Covenants,
agreed to by all property owners in the HOA at purchase, and shall run with the
land.
Provisions shall be made, in the HOA Bylaws and Deed Restrictions, that in the
unlikely event the HOA fails to maintain all or a portion of the protected open space
in reasonable order and condition, the City of Southlake may, but is not required to,
assume responsibility for its maintenance and take corrective action, including the
provision of extended maintenance. The costs of such maintenance may be
charged to the HOA or individual property owners that make up the HOA, and may
include administrative costs and penalties which shall become a lien on all property
in the development.

and despite being asked by many realtors about selling our house, we are never planning to leave.
The developer will continue to say that this development is compatible with the City of Southlake. I agree with that statement. But more
importantly, it is NOT compatible with this neighborhood, which many consider a hidden gem of Southlake. The developer has had meetings
with the neighborhood to discuss his plans, but not offer any compromises.The public entrance to the Corps he has added to the north end of
the property is NOT desired by the majority of the neighborhood. He uses this as a selling point; however, we already have access to this area
(off Harbor Court) and added traffic/street parking on a curved road is not safe nor desired. He did not ask the neighborhood's opinion on
sidewalks, street lights or signs as suggested by the Corridor Committee. He is currently planning to re-zone a platted lot in our subdivision,
place a private road and an entrance sign in the front of that platted lot, and make that platted lot part of the new subdivision without ever
re-platting? I do strongly believe that he is purposefully avoiding re-platting as he knows he does not have the neighborhood support,
especially of adjacent lots.
In my opinion, it will not be financially beneficial for this developer or any future developer to repurpose this area for residential use in a way
that will be compatible with the neighborhood. I do feel that the city has an opportunity here to preserve this precious piece of land and
preserve this unique neighborhood with all its wildlife and trees by purchasing it for the city.
The profound opposition of the neighborhood to keep it as it is has made it an even more inspiring place for us to live. The remainder of my
issues in opposition are summarized in the petition signed by the neighborhood.
Please enjoy the photos and I would be happy to walk the neighborhood with anyone interested. It is beautiful here.
Respectfully,
Kay Johnson

Woodbridge Development/Harbor Oaks
Mary Van Sant
Mon 10/5/2020 11:18 AM
To: Jerod Potts <jpotts@ci.southlake.tx.us>
Mr. Potts,
My name is Mary Van Sant OConnor, I have resided at 2965 Burney Lane, Southlake for 27 years.
I strongly oppose the proposed development by Woodbridge Development aka Jody Boyd on the grounds that it goes against every
stated objective of the 2035 plan. This plan was developed after surveying the residents of Southlake. What is overwhelmingly apparent in
the 2035 plan is preservation of the few remaining open natural spaces and quality development that maintains and enhances established
neighborhoods. This proposal does the exact OPPOSITE.
Here are some other not insignificant objections.
1. By allowing Mr Houseman’s property to be incorporated into this PUD you are violating our deeds and restriction. Deeds and
Restrictions Mr Houseman agreed to when he signed them on purchase of his home.
The city of Southlake along with the developer of Huse Homeplace landlocked Mrs Myles, Harbor Oaks residents did not!!!!!
If this goes through, do we as larger holders of property in Harbor Oaks have the right to make our properties into a PUD? Right now I
can’t even put a toilet in my barn because of building restrictions.
2. The road itself is too close to Mr Fredricks property and puts roads on almost all 3 sides of his home. The road empties directly into the
front of my home, is too close to both my drive and the Fredricks to make this a safe access onto Burney.
3. Nothing about the proposed development reflects the current nature of the surrounding community. The streets are not compatible
with our neighborhood. The lot sizes are not compatible, the proposed street lights are not compatible, the aerobic septic systems are not
compatible.
4. Probably the biggest problem with this development is the topography of the land and the harm this development will do to one of the
last open natural spaces left in Southlake and this wildlife corridor. I urge you to read carefully Ray Chancellor’s letter to you regarding the
treasure that Southlake has in the property in question.
Because the land will need major landfill and huge culverts to divert water that flows at tremendous speed and volume through the back
of the Fredricks property the development costs are huge. Consequently the developer says he can not reduce the number of homes or
change the road to be compatible with Harbor Oaks.
Because the lots are small and the land very rocky aerobic septic systems are required. I know Mr Boyd has stated that because these
people will have so much money that they will have all the resources needed to prevent any pollution. This is just not true! These systems
can easily spew untreated waste when the system is not working properly. I ask you to just google “problems with aerobic systems” and
you will see how tricky they can be to maintain.
The erosion when a huge home is place against the Corp property can be witness on the trail that backs up to the development off of
Ridgecrest. I ride and hike back there frequently and that one house has created major erosion. I can only imagine what 7 homes that have
10/7/2020 Mail - Jerod Potts - Outlook
https://outlook.office.com/mail/inbox/id/AAQkADNhOGM4NzA5LWUxODgtNGI2ZS1iN2QzLTA1N2I0ODMzN2UzZgAQABoTHcCprGZMh7shCTb3Fls%3D 2/2
changed the topography will do to the Corp property to the west of this development. This is just not a suitable piece of property to try
and develop.
Mr Boyd also touts how many trees he will save but if you look at his plan and what he allows the homeowners for buildable space, several
lots could eliminate all the trees. His tree preservation plan only encompasses the road and lot development. Once in, the homeowners
can wipe out a large portion of the trees with tennis courts and swimming pools etc.
5. The safety issue of putting more large homes in a neighborhood with one way in and one way out. We are already overbuilt back here.
My water pressure continues to decline since the 2 large homes have been built near me. What will 8 mega mansions do?
6. This is a personal note, I purchased my home specifically because further development In this neighborhood seemed impossible. We
were an established platted community, it was quiet and rural in nature. To think now a road will empty directly into my property and
street signage and lights will be the new norm is upsetting.
I have been paying over $23,000.00 a year in taxes to live here because of the amenities and features I enjoy in Harbor Oaks. I’m retired
and living on my retirement so this is no small expense but it has been worth it for me to have this type of community.
Placing this road and development in its current form will harm my property value and the quality of my life not to mention the sensitive
environment this property holds.
I would also like you to consider the construction that will be taking place over the next several years. From Road grading and construction
to 8 multi million dollar homes being built with the only access dumping directly in my front yard and down the side of the Fredricks. Not
to mention the staging of all the equipment. Recently 2 multi million dollar homes have been built off Burney. I had trucks and heavy
equipment staged in front of my house for 2 years. It is not a pleasant thing. This was only 2 large homes. I can’t imagine heavy road
construction and 8 mega mansions. I’m 66, this isn’t how I want to spend my later years here after paying huge taxes for the peace and
tranquillity I once enjoyed.
7. I understand the city settled with Ms Myles in 2006 for over a million dollars regarding her landlocked property by Bob Jones. Why can’t
you settle with her on this property?
8. I would also like to ask what kind of bond Woodbridge is required to have to ensure they have adequate financing to complete the
project. Looking at the Dun and Bradstreet report, Woodbridge Development made roughly only a
$167,000.00 Does he have additional backing and if so, who?
9. I strongly urge you to deny this proposal. This land should be preserved, not raped by another money hungry developer. Let them go
where the environmental and community impact won’t be so very great.
Respectfully,
Mary Van Sant OConnor

My Objections to the Zone Change/Proposed Development Adjacent to
Harbor Oaks Subdivision – Oct 4, 2020 Submitted by: Thelma Bea Wilson, 2930 Burney Ln
Proposed Roadway (ROW) using Housmans lot
• Housmans’ lot is Lot 10, Block 2 in Harbor Oaks Subdivision
• Deed restrictions say: “no lot shall be used for other than single family
• Deed restrictions say: “no owner shall be permitted to re-subdivide any lot in the Addition”
• Deed restrictions say: “no building or structure of any other character is permitted to use existing easements”
• Propose development shows a roadway (ROW) on Lot 10, Block 2, that is in direct violation of Harbor Oaks Deed Restrictions. It is proposed to be next to Fredricks lots with severe impact to his property value.
• Signage – The proposed sign for the proposed development is in direct conflict with the Harbor Oaks Deed Restrictions. We would not be allowed to add anything but “for sale” or “for rent” signs, per Deed Restrictions.
• Will the request to City for R-PUD for proposed development be allowed since ALL of Harbor Oaks is SF-1. If SF-1 was applied to development request, it would first require ALL of Harbor Oaks residents approval .
• Corridor Committee minutes #23 asked applicant need to ensure there
are no existing Deed Restrictions that would preclude the proposed
ANNEXATION of a lot (Lot 10, Blk 2) from the Harbor Oaks subdivision.
•
Compatibility: All adjacent lots are all 2 acres (without including easement (adjacent ROW area). The proposed lot sizes are down to 1.1 to 1.6 acres ALL OF WHICH INCLUDE THE EASEMENTS (ROW AREA). By comparison, if you added easement size to existing HO lots it would be a plus of 7000 ft.
• Lot widths of development vs established HO lots are drastically different. Adjacent HO lots are at least 215 ft in width while the proposed show narrow lots of 130’ in width. ALL HO lots are minimum width of 190’.
Proposed ROW width = 40’ while existing HO roadway is 60’.
• Proposal shows street lighting, and signage. Existing area of HO has neither.
2
My Objections to the Zone Change/Proposed Development Adjacent to
Harbor Oaks Subdivision – Oct 4, 2020 (continued)
• Signage: Developer is proposing a “lighted” sign for the project. Harbor Oaks = no sign. Carmel Bay = modest sign w/o lights Huse Homeplace= very small sign w/o lights.
• Lot size of proposal vs Harbor Oaks: Proposed lots are 1.1 – 1.6 ac
includes easement in the calculations. Harbor Oaks adjacent lot sizes are 2.2 ac and higher, not including easements in calculations.
•
Impact to environment: City 2035 plan specifically says the city’s
mission is to “preserve the rural setting and high slopes” etc in the area. This proposal does not meet with the City 2035 promises nor is good for the fragile eco system attached to Harbor Oaks. Gaylord Texan, City of Grapevine, Trophy Club and Colleyville are currently trying to “preserve/protect” the wildlife habitat and have asked for Ray Cancellor’s consult on the matter. Southlake could join the effort and “preserve/protect” the wildlife habitat that we already have. Why not ask City to purchase this fragile portion of land. It is adjoined to the Bob Jones Wildlife Center area.
Summary: It is my request that P&Z realize what we have in the North part of
town and see that this proposal does not in any way show compatibility with
the rural setting in Harbor Oaks. This proposal violates many of Harbor Oaks
Deed Restrictions. This proposal will drastically, if approved, impact our
fragile ecological treasure adjacent to Harbor Oaks. I am opposed to the
proposed development for the above reasons. I hope you will consider all of
the above and help preserve what Southlake has – a treasure!
Thanks for your consideration,

BURNEY ESATES
OPPOSITION NARRITATIVE
9/22/20
Introduction:
Burney Lane provides the only/single point of access to the Harbor Oaks Subdivision and some
smaller subdivisions adjacent to Harbor Oaks we’ll call the Harbor Oaks Neighborhood (HON). This area
is located at the end of Carroll Road on the very north side of Southlake and is bordered on three sides
by Lake Grapevine/COE property and is adjacent to the Quail Creek Subdivision to the south.
Harbor Oaks was developed some 40 years ago and today is an exemplary environmentally
friendly estate development of near “historic age” where deer and a variety of many other fauna are
regularly seen along the streets and adjacent lots. It typifies the earlier developments in Southlake
north of SH 114 when rural/estate and equestrian style living were the norm and is very different from
more recent and conventional Southlake development where sanitary sewer service became available
such as many areas south of SH 114.
The HON consists of approximately 160+/- acres and some 70 to 80 homes. Some of the things
that make this area so desirable and successful as a community relate to its open, rural and equestrian
friendly atmosphere. This is accomplished in part by:
1) Wide, rural estate roadway sections with minimum 60 foot Right-of-way, grassed/treed
parkways, non-curb and gutter pavement, no sidewalks, and no street lights. This not only
enhances the open atmosphere but also encourages use by a variety of flora and fauna as well
as equestrian and other residential uses as simple as walking the dog. This is enhanced by close
proximity to the abundance of COE land nearby and adjacent.
2) Lot Size and wide lot dimensions. Harbor Oaks lots average well over 2 acres not including
adjacent road ROW areas.
3) Abundance of both protected and new growth trees in dedicated street ROW and on platted
lots.
Harbor Oaks is aging beautifully and is a very successful community demonstrated not only by
the large number of residents that have lived there 25 + years but also by the desirability by younger
people and families to relocate from more conventional developments if properties become available.
Reasons for Opposition:
A) Lack of Neighborhood Compatibility
1) Adjacent Lot Size: Adjacent Harbor Oaks lots are all 2 acres or larger not including the
adjacent road ROW area. The proposed adjacent lots are much smaller and include their
adjacent road area due to the road in an “easement” as opposed to a dedicated ROW. Add
about 7000 square feet to each Harbor Oaks platted lot acreage to compare to the proposed
lots. To be compatible the proposed adjacent lots should be at least as large as the
adjacent Harbor Oaks lots.
2) Adjacent lot width: Lot width helps spread houses out and help a more open appearace.
Adjacent Harbor oaks lots are at least 215 feet in width while the proposed shows lots as
narrow as 130 feet in width. All harbor Oaks lots are minimum width of 190’ +/-
3) Average Lot Size: Harbor Oaks average lot size is 2.5+ acres as opposed to the proposed
average is only 1.6 acres.
4) 40 foot Private Road (easement): The proposed is for a 40 foot wide private road easement,
curb and gutter pavement, street lights, sidewalk, potential for future private gated
entrance, and entry monument …. All of which not only do not exist currently in Harbor
Oaks, are not desired by HO residents, and are contrary to the character of the
neighborhood. Also by putting the roadway in an easement it effectively adds the roadway
area to the lot acreage making the lots appear larger when compared to a ROW dedication
lot as is the case in Harbor Oaks.
B) Access The proposed roadway which will generate about 80 vehicle trips a day once traffic dies
down to normal volumes after construction etc. is proposed to go through a Platted lot that is
part of the Harbor Oaks Platted subdivision. THIS IS JUST WRONG! No one would want this to
happen to them in their subdivision especially after 40 years of successful, desirable existence.
Add street lights, monument sign, potential future gate …. All wrong for this area and residents.
C) Total Lot Count and Neighborhood Service: Harbor Oaks is also unusual in that it only has a
single point of access for travel and utilities that serves the existing 70 to 80 homes. This does
not allow for an alternative emergency vehicle service access route if this point of access is
blocked, alternative water service if the one water line that serves through this location is down,
and the same for gas and other utilities. Normal planning practice does not allow more than
about 15 homes on a single access. Minimizing the number of additional houses using this
single point of access is very important to consider. Each new house just adds more traffic and
utility usage to an already undesirable situation. Seven new lots would increase traffic and
utility usage by about 10% ….. which straw will break the Camel’s back?
