Item 18 - Narrative Letter

Members of the Southlake City Council
City of Southlake, Texas
RE: ZA21-0053- Ferguson Place
Councilmembers:
On behalf of Hat Creek Development, I would like to respectively request approval of our proposed
plan showing 2 lots on the subject property, which is the same density as currently exists.
The 2035 Land Use Plan designation for the subject property in this rezoning request is Low Density
Residential, which would require a net density of one or fewer units per acre.
However, the property is currently made up of two lots on just over an acre, so it already doesn’t meet
the “Low Density Residential” requirements, but more importantly, there is no other “Low Density”
designated property nearby—in either Southlake or Grapevine, so we believe “Medium Density” lots
would not adversely affect any adjacent or nearby homeowner. Additionally, these lots are surrounded
by much smaller residential lots (both existing lots and lots which will be created with this
development), all of which are in the City of Grapevine. Requiring this property to comply with the
“Low Density” designation would in fact be creating an incompatibility—where one doesn’t currently
exist, something we know you try to avoid.
Again, the proposed plan doesn’t increase the number of lots in Southlake from two, both of which
will be the largest lots within the proposed “Ferguson Place” development, and will be significantly
larger than the adjacent proposed lots within the City of Grapevine.
Best Regards,
SAGE GROUP, INC.
