Box 1230 5004 Thompson Terrace, Suite 107 Colleyville, TX 76034 817-281-5600 Date: September 17, 2020 TO: The City of Southlake – Department of Planning & Development Services 1400 Main Street Suite #310, Southlake, TX 76092 Project Name: 771 Southlake Blvd. Addition Project Address: 771 Southlake Blvd., Southlake, TX 76092 Mr. Schell: Attached please find the site plan submittal for 771 Southlake Blvd. Office Addition – Southlake, TX We are requesting approval of our site plan submission package for a two-story addition to the existing building located at 771 Southlake Blvd., as well as the necessary site improvements to the parking and the accessible route to the new addition. This two-story building addition footprint is approximately 2,414 gross square feet, increasing the existing building footprint from 4,398 square feet to a new building footprint total of 6,812 square feet. The addition to the existing building will be made up of leasable office spaces, individual barber and beauty salon rental spaces, small medical offices, restrooms, maintenance closets, access to the existing elevator system, and a new egress stair well. The exterior architectural details of the new addition aim to tie it to the existing building in a seamless transition. The architectural themes and details shown on the existing structure will be meticulously recreated on the new addition to meld the two parts of the building into one cohesive unit. This building sits on a 1.894 acre lot that it shares with another existing office building, and existing shared parking serving the two existing buildings. Seventy-Two parking spaces are required for the total site at 771 & 751 Southlake Blvd. The existing parking was put in place with the future addition in mind. With minimal change to the parking area to allow for new accessible parking, the existing parking over all will not be changed. The total site will provide a proposed impervious coverage of 54%. All other site improvements including landscaping will support and enhance the overall design of the property. In conclusion, the addition will allow for new tenants to lease spaces while keeping the overall aesthetic of the office park cohesive to the existing structures and site elements. Please contact our office if you have any questions. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Gerald A. Ward Architect, No. 11748
