FORUM SUMMARY:
Property Situation:
The property is located at 351 Central Avenue
Development Details:
The applicant is proposing approval of a Site Plan and associated Plat Revision for Block 20 Lot
1, comprised of up to 58 Garden District Residences in two buildings on approximately 2.2 vacant
acres. The property is located in the Garden District of Southlake Town Square south and west
of Park Ridge Blvd, east of Central Ave. and north of Meeting St. (the "Property"). The Site Plan
and supporting documents have been prepared in substantial conformance with the 2013
Concept Plan approval for the Garden District.
Presentation:
Questions and Concerns:
1. Concerned with the grandparent clause and the large number of children in the Carroll
ISD, concerned with traffic and roads, concerned with infrastructure being able to handle
the development, and concerned with the increase of delivery vehicles to the
development.
Response: Not legally able to restrict grandparent clause and pricing for each unit is
high. Residents able to walk to services in the area and will reduce trips. Delivery traffic
may not be as bad as other commercial traffic in the area.
2. Concerns with infrastructure and more residential development in the area.
Response: The Town Square infrastructure was built to handle more than what is
proposed. The power plant issue in not a local issue and is a statewide issue.
3. Concerns with drainage from Town Square to the north across SH 114 and N. Kimball
Avenue and Paterson pond will be overloaded with water and silt (currently happening).
Would support this development if a drainage study was conducted that would address
the issue.
Response: Resident to contact Frank Bliss to discuss the concerns.
