PROJECT: Plat Revision for Lot 2R1, R.P. Estes Subdivision
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY: On behalf of Daniel Hernandez, CBG Surveying Texas, LLC is requesting
approval of a Plat Revision for Lot 2R1, R. P. Estes Subdivision on property
described as Lot 2C1, R.P. Estes Subdivision, being a portion of Lot 2, R. P.
Estes Subdivision, Tarrant County, Texas, and located at 2350 Crawford Ct.,
Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas. Current Zoning: “AG” Agricultural District.
SPIN Neighborhood #5.
DETAILS: The purpose of this request is to plat a portion of Lot 2, R. P. Estes Subdivision
as a lot of record. The R. P. Estes Subdivision was platted under County
jurisdiction in 1947 and originally contained 8 large lots of approximately 10
acres each and one smaller lot of approximately 3.5 acres. Prior to the
annexation of this area into the City of Southlake, Lot 2 was subdivided into
several tracts by metes and bounds without filing a revised plat. Now that these
properties are under City jurisdiction and since they are part of a plat of record,
a Plat Revision must be processed, approved and recorded with the County
prior to issuance of a building permit for new construction. The existing metes
and bounds tract is not being further subdivided.
VARIANCE
REQUESTED: A variance is requested to allow the lot to not front on a street as is required by
Subdivision Ordinance No. 483, as amended, Sections 8.01 and 5.04. Access
to the property is via an existing 50’ ingress/egress easement.
ACTION NEEDED: Consider approval of a Plat Revision

OWNER: Daniel Hernandez
APPLICANT: CBG Surveying Texas, LLC
PROPERTY SITUATION: 2350 Crawford Ct.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot 2C1, R.P. Estes Subdivision, being a portion of Lot 2, R. P. Estes
Subdivision
LAND USE CATEGORY: Low Density Residential
CURRENT ZONING: “AG” Agricultural District.
HISTORY: - A plat for R. P. Estes subdivision was filed with Tarrant County in 1947
prior to annexation of the property by the City of Southlake.
- Lot 2, R.P. Estes subdivision appears to have been subdivided by
metes and bounds beginning in 1977 prior to being annexed by the City.
- The property was annexed into the City in 1987 and given the “AG”
Agricultural District zoning designation.
- A 1984 Manufactured Home that existed on the property was removed
in 2019 or 2020 (Source: TAD, aerial and site photos).
- The Zoning Board of Adjustment approved the following variances and
Special Exception Use on June 11, 2020:
Variance to Ord. No. 480, as amended, Section 9.5.b requiring a front
yard of not less than 40’, Section 9.5.c requiring a side yard of not less
than 25’ and Section 9.5.e requiring a maximum lot coverage for all
buildings and structures to not exceed 10% of the lot area and a Special
Exception Use per Ord. No. 480, as amended, Section 44.12(6) for a
reduction in the required setback from property lines for a residential
accessory building subject to the plans presented at the meeting, which
showed a front yard setback of 35’, a side yard setback of 15’ for the
house and garage and a lot coverage of approximately 12.75%.
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.

CITY STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PROJECT RECEIVED BY THE CITY
ON 10/07/20 AND WE OFFER THE FOLLOWING STIPULATIONS. THESE STIPULATIONS ARE
HEREBY MADE CONDITIONS OF PLAT APPROVAL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY AMENDED BY THE
CITY COUNCIL. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR NEED FURTHER CLARIFICATION, PLEASE
CONTACT DENNIS KILLOUGH AT (817) 748-8072.
1. Per Subdivision Ordinance No 483, as amended, Section 4.01.C, the Plat Revision must
comply with the underlying zoning.
2. Please provide a variance request letter since the lot does not meet the requirements in
Subdivision Ord. No 483, as amended, Sections 8.01.A and 5.04:
Subdivision Ord. No 483, as amended, Section 8.01.A requires that every lot shall front on a
public or private street. Please be specific on what is being proposed with regard to the private
driveway width, the water line and sidewalks. If the variance is granted, please add the
following note to the plat.
“Crawford Ct. is a private ingress/egress that will not be maintained by the City of Southlake. It
is the responsibility of the property owners to maintain Crawford Ct. to a level that will allow fire
trucks to respond to emergencies.”
The following are required in accordance with Section 3.06 and 3.03 of Ordinance No. 483, as
amended, but the comments are informational only.
* The front building setback lines (on all streets) are required to be labeled or noted on the plat.
The Zoning Board of Adjustment approved a variance to the minimum front setback
requirement. In lieu of showing the front building line on the plat, a note has been added to the
plat stating that the Zoning Board of Adjustment approved a variance to the minimum front
yard setback requirement (Case No. ZBA20-0006) and the front building setback is required
as approved.
* Where adjacent property is un-platted or platted showing a 5’ U.E., provide a 5’ U.E. along the
property line. If adjacent property is platted and shows no easement, provide a 10’ U.E. along
the interior of the property line. However, staff recommends that ease ments be placed only
where needed to provide necessary utility services and, where possible, be placed in a
manner that minimized impacts on existing quality trees.
