Re: Variance Request Letter for the Bicentennial Park — Pickleball Complex
Site Plan — Formal Submittal
Dear Department of Planning and Development Services:
Parkhill I Schrickel Rollins is the authorized representative/applicant for the Bicentennial Park — Pickleball
Complex Site Plan application. The park is located along the north side of Southlake Boulevard (FM
1709) between Shady Oaks Drive and White Chapel Boulevard in the City of Southlake, Texas.
The property is approximately ±80 acres of existing park land and is currently zoned "CS" (Community
Services). The current plat was issued in January of 2020.
There are two (2) variances requested as part of the Site Plan — Formal Submittal, noted below.
• Variance for the fagade articulation (Section 43.9.c.1.d) within the FM1709 Corridor for the office /
restroom building within the pickleball complex.
o The fagade articulation requirements create significant challenges to the both the floor plan
and aesthetic of the building. With this being a minor building located more than 600ft from
the corridor, we request that the fagade articulation requirements be excluded.
• Variance for the lighting intensity (Ordinance No. 693-C) at the pickleball courts.
o The LED sports lighting at the pickleball courts is designed to have an average illumination of
50fc for recreational and competitive play. With the courts being centrally located within an
existing sports park, we request that the maximum outdoor illumination level requirement be
excluded.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding these variance requests for the
Bicentennial Park — Pickleball Complex project.
Sincerely,
PARKHILL I SCHRICKEL ROLLINS
