EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY: On behalf of MG Luxury Homes, Barton Chapa Surveying is requesting approval
of a Plat Showing for Lots 8 and 9, J. Childress No. 253 Addtion on property
described as Tract 1E02, John Childress Heirs Survey, Abstract No. 253, City of
Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas and located at 1425 Randol Mill Ave.,
Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning: "SF-1A" Single Family Residential District.
SPIN Neighborhood #5.
DETAILS: The project is generally located on the east side of Randol Mill Ave.
approximately 400’ south of the intersection of Davis Blvd. and Randol Mill Ave.

approved by City Council on August 3, 2021. The Zoning Change and Concept
Plan from “AG” Agricultural District to “SF-1A” Single Family Residential District
was approved to divide an existing approximately 2.887 acre tract of land into
two single family residential lots that conform to the “SF-1A” Single Family
Residential zoning district, which requires a minimum lot area of 43,560 square
feet (one acre). The plat conforms to the previously approved Zoning Change
and Concept Plan. Two driveways that were constructed with the improvements
to Randol Mill Ave. provide access to the proposed lots. No changes to the
existing driveways are proposed. An 8’ multi-use trail along the east side of
Randol Mill Ave. was also constructed with the improvements to Randol Mill Ave.
ACTION NEEDED: Consider approval of a Plat Showing

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
OWNER: MG Luxury Homes
APPLICANT: Barton Chapa Surveying
PROPERTY SITUATION: 1425 Randol Mill Ave, generally located approximately 400’ south of the
intersection of Davis Blvd. and Randol Mill Ave.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Tract 1E02, John Childress Heirs Survey, Abstract No. 253
LAND USE CATEGORY: Low Density Residential
CURRENT ZONING: “SF-1A” Single Family Residential District.
HISTORY: - The property was annexed into the City in 1987 and given the “AG”
Agricultural District zoning designation.
- A single family home that was constructed in 1975 prior to annexation
was demolished in 2019.
- A Zoning Change and Concept Plan (ZA21-0037) from “AG” Agricultural
District to “SF-1A” Single Family Residential District to divide an existing
approximately 2.887 acre tract of land into two single family residential
lots that conform to the “SF-1A” Single Family Residential zoning district,
which requires a minimum lot area of 43,560 square feet (one acre) was
approved by City Council on August 3, 2021.
SOUTHLAKE 2035 PLAN: Consolidated Future Land Use Plan
The 2035 future land use designation for the site is Low Density
Residential.
Purpose: The purpose of the Low Density Residential land use category
is to provide for and to protect low intensity detached single-family
residential development that promotes the openness and rural character
of Southlake.
Definition (this definition was updated by passage of Ordinance No.
1186 on February 20, 2018): The Low Density Residential category is
for detached single-family residential development at a net density of one
or fewer dwelling units per acre. Net density is the number of dwelling
units per net acre, which excludes acreage in all rights-of-way, easement,
and lots designated for public or private streets. Other suitable activities
are those permitted in the Public Parks / Open Space and Public / Semi-
Public categories. The Low Density Residential category encourages the
openness and rural character of the City of Southlake.
Pathways Master Plan & Sidewalk Plan
The Master Pathways Plan shows a future ≥8’ multi-trail on the east side
of Randol Mill Ave. An 8’ multi-use trail was constructed with the
improvements to Randol Mill Ave.
TRANSPORTATION
Case No. Attachment A
ZA21-0083 Page 2
ASSESSMENT: Area Road Network and Conditions
The Master Thoroughfare Plan shows Randol Mill Ave. to be a six-lane
divided arterial with 130’ to 140’ of right of way. Adequate right of way
exists for Randol Mill Ave.
Traffic Impact
Two driveways that were constructed with the improvements to Randol
Mill Ave. provide access to the proposed lots. No changes to the existing
driveways are proposed.
TREE PRESERVATION: Both lots comply with the Existing Tree Cover Preservation Requirements
of the Tree Preservation Ordinance 585-E. Lot 1 has 34% of existing tree
cover and a minimum of 60% is required to be preserved. A total of 60%
of the existing tree cover is proposed to be preserved.
Lot 2 has 46% of existing tree cover and a minimum of 50% the existing
tree cover is required to be preserved. A total of 75% of the existing tree
cover is proposed to be preserved.
UTILITIES: The property is served by an existing 12” water line in Randol Mill Ave.
City sewer is not available to the property, so the lots will be served by
on-site sewage facilities (OSSF). The applicant has provided site
suitability analyses for both lots that were prepared by a geotechnical
engineer stating that the lots are suitable for surface discharge (aerobic)
systems.
DRAINAGE: Existing drainage is generally west to east across the property.
CITIZEN INPUT: A SPIN meeting for this project was held on May 25, 2021.
