Please submit a Tree Conservation Plan which conforms to the approved Westwyck Court Tree Conservation Plan. It looks as though the home addition may be alright, but the extension of the fire lane may cause the removal or alteration of protected trees. * Except as provided by subsection 7.2.b. of the Tree Preservation Ordinance, a Tree Conservation Analysis or Tree Conservation Plan shall be approved if it will preserve existing tree cover in accordance with the percentage requirements established by Table 2.0. If the property has previously received a tree permit related to development, the percentage of existing tree cover at the time the first such permit was issued shall be used to calculate the minimum existing tree cover that must be preserved under this section. Table 2.0 – Existing Tree Cover Preservation Requirements Percentage of existing tree cover on the entire site Minimum percentage of the existing tree cover to be preserved* 0% – 20% 70% 20.1 – 40% 60% 40.1% - 60% 50% 60.1% - 80% 40% 80.1% - 100% 30% *The minimum percentage of existing tree cover to be preserved shall exclude any area in public rights- of-way as approved by City Council. For property sought to be zoned for the Downtown zoning district or a planned development zoning district, including an S-P-1 Site Plan, S-P-2 Site Plan, Transition, Rural Conservation, Planned Unit Development, or Employment Center zoning district, the City Council shall consider the application for a Conservation Analysis or Plan in conjunction with the corresponding development application (as established in Table 1.0). The Planning and Zoning Commission shall review the application and make a recommendation to the City Council regarding the application. The City Council shall approve the Plan or Analysis if the Council finds that the Plan or Analysis provides for the: i. placement of building pads, parking areas, driveways, streets, and utility easements so as to maximize the preservation of environmental features of the property including mature tree stands, natural creeks and ponds, and significant grades; ii. maximizes the preservation of tree cover preservation areas indicated on the Environmental Resource Protection Map; iii. maximizes the preservation of existing tree stands with the potential to buffer residential areas from the noise, glare, and visual effects of nonresidential uses; Case No. Attachment C ZA21-0022 Page 5 iv. maximizes the preservation of existing trees, if any, adjoining a natural or man-made drainage creek; v. maximizes the preservation of existing protected trees along rural roadways and other streets as identified and prioritized in the Street Typology designation; and vi. mitigation of altered trees through proposed tree replacement procedures pursuant to this Ordinance. * Please be aware that all existing trees shown to be preserved on the City Council approved Tree Conservation Plan must be preserved and protected during all phases and construction of the development. Alteration or removal of any of the existing trees shown to be preserved on the approved Tree Conservation Plan is a violation of the Tree Preservation Ordinance and the zoning as approved by the Southlake City Council. Please ensure that the layout of all structures, easements, utilities, structures grading, and any other structure proposed to be constructed do not conflict with existing trees intended to be preserved. * Indicates informational comment. # Indicates required items comment. Case No. Attachment C ZA21-0022 Page 6 Public Works/Engineering Review Sandra Endy, P.E. Civil Engineer Phone: (817) 748-8033 E-mail: sendy@ci.southlake.tx.us GENERAL COMMENTS: 1. This review is preliminary. Additional requirements may be necessary with the review of the civil construction plans. 2. There is an existing 6” public water line that runs within the existing 15’ UE from Randol Mill to just west of the existing access drive. The existing 15’ UE cannot be completely abandoned and shall remain up to 5’ east of the existing fire hydrant as shown in the below screen shot. 3. The portion of the existing access and drainage easement is being encroached upon by the proposed garage. The portion of the existing easement shall be abandoned and or relocated on this plat so that it is not below the proposed structures. Case No. Attachment C ZA21-0022 Page 7 Fire Department Review Kelly Clements Deputy Fire Chief/Fire Marshal Phone: (817) 748-8233 E-mail: kclements@ci.southlake.tx.us GENERAL COMMENTS: Fire apparatus access needs to be designed and maintained to support the imposed loads of fire apparatus (A minimum of 85,000 lbs GVW). The new addition to the residence must be completely covered by an automatic fire sprinkler system due to the total square footage being in excess of 6,000 square feet. Porches and patios are excluded from this requirement. A complete set of plans for the fire sprinkler system shall be submitted to Reed Fire Protection, Green Tag Engineering or Coker Engineering for review and approval. These plans shall be submitted by a state licensed contractor. The sprinkler system must be visually inspected by the Fire Marshal's Office prior to sheet rock being applied. Also, the builder must call for a fire alarm test and final inspection to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy. All fire sprinkler systems shall have an audible notification device on the inside and outside of the structure, with the exterior device capable of being audible to a neighbor or from the public street fronting the property. If a ceiling design in a residential structure exceeds an 8 in 12, rise and run, special requirements must be accomplished to ensure proper fire protection coverage. It is the responsibility of the fire sprinkler system design firm of record to verify that all products used meet UL listing and provide documentation from the manufacturer if an alternative design is used, due to the possibility that more than two sprinklers may need to be calculated if the ceiling feature is outside of the UL listing for the sprinkler head used. A fire hydrant must be provided within 1000 feet of the residential structure.
