The purpose of this letter is to provide an opinion whether the city council may legally

believes that deliberation in an open meeting would have a detrimental effect on the position of the

2350 Crooked Lane
Southlake, TX 76092
mow July 18, 2009
Mayor of Southlake
Members of Southlake City Council
We are writing concerning the proposed amendment to Ordinance 480-ZZZ, amendment regulations
for servant and family quarters,because such amendment will affect plans we have considered and are
still considering.
Back in the spring we requested a variance in order to build a small building on our property that would
be used for only family or caretaker occupancy. We were told that such a variance had routinely been
granted and then told that our requested variance had been approved. That decision was reversed when
the city attorney found issue with square footage. The proposed amendment you will be considering, if
approved,would allow us to proceed with these plans since all other requirements for building were
met, within the 3%of property size, etc.
Last spring a letter was sent by the City to our neighbors concerning this variance. We had spoken
with several of them about our plans. I don't believe that the City should have received any negative
response from any of them because none with whom we spoke had objections.
it We have lived in Southlake for nearly 50 years, from 1962 in the Oak Knoll Addition before relocating
in 1999 to our current home on Crooked Lane. Although we had planned to size down from a 1-acre
lot,this 2.3-acre lot with its larger space, trees, and somewhat secludedness tempted us. We have
enjoyed ten years here and would like to remain here. Now, however,the upkeep is becoming
increasingly more difficult, and that is one reason for our wanting to build the proposed building. Our
feeling is that the plans that have been proposed will only impove the appearance of our property as
well as add value to it and thus increase the taxable revenue to the City.
We want to thank you for your condsideration. We would respectfully ask that you approve this
amendment. If we can answer any questions regarding this request, you can reach us at 817 488-9078
or mandcwood@verizon.net.
