FORUM SUMMARY:
Property Situation:
The property is located at 4078 N. White Chapel Blvd., Southlake
Development Details:
The applicant is proposing the development of 4 1-acre residential lot development at the
southwest corner of N. White Chapel Blvd. and W. Bob Jones Road. The property has some trees
on the property. The property drains from east to west to N. White Chapel Blvd. Water and sewer
are accessible to the property. The proposed street will be a 30-feet wide concrete pavement for
the street. The fencing has not been decided yet. The development may have an entry feature. A
gated entrance is still undecided. The power lines may or may not be lowered, a decision has
not been made to date. The estimated price line for the homes will be approximately $3 million.
Presentation:
Questions and Concerns:
1. Who will build the homes? Hawkins-Welwood Homes will be the builder.
2. What is the price point of the homes? Approximately $3 million.
3. What will the size of the homes be? Yes. We are still deciding on the size of the homes.
4. Will there be any lighting guidelines? There will be some streetlights.
5. Do you plan to leave any trees? Yes, we plan to leave as many trees as possible and
will not regrade Lot 4 until there is a client.
6. What will be going on with the corner lot? The lot currently land use is low density
residential.
7. Are you planning any dedicated open space? It is not required; we will be going for
straight zoning.
8. What type of fencing are you proposing? We will go above and beyond what the city
requires. It could be a combination of stone and maybe pipe rail.
9. Whatever fence goes in, would it be the property owner’s or the developer’s? It may be a
development wall on the perimeter and the property owners’ fence between the
properties.
10. Would livestock be allowed on each lot? I don’t believe so. It would be allowed, but not
suitable for these lots.
11. Would this be a gated development? We are open to it, but City Council may not allow it.
12. With access on W. Bob Jones, do you anticipate any traffic concerns? Not with the
number of lots that will not generate a lot of traffic.
13. Any ideas for the materials for homes? We will have strict ARC guidelines to ensure a
quality development- maybe a hill country style.
14. Any plans for a detention/retention pond? There is not a water amenity plan with the 1
acre lots unless it is required. The water flows to Bob Jones Park.
15. Is the setback is determined by you or the city? The setbacks are determined by the
zoning.
16. Will the perimeter fences be consistent with the development? We will write specific
regulations to ensure consistency for the fencing and retaining walls.
17. Would the houses be addressed on Bob Jones or their own street? The houses will be
addressed on their own street.
18. Comment: I hope this development will continue to encourage wildlife in this area.
19. On the tress, we are not planning to remove trees except for the road construction and
will try to design homes to preserve as may as possible.
20. Will there be sidewalks in the development and along W. Bob Jones and N. White
Chapel Blvd.? We will build sidewalks as required by the city.
21. Is there a storm water drainage plan for the development? We will be working on a
drainage plan and study to determine how to design it.
22. Will the telecom and phone lines be underground? We will investigate it- has not be
determined at this time.
23. What is the number of cars/garages? It may be a 3 car minimum if not 4 depending on
the property owner.
24. Will there be any entrance wall to the development? We will be working on a design to
ensure privacy for the homes adjacent to the street and have not designed anything yet.
25. Will this development be gated? Maybe. The city may not prefer the development to be
gated.
26. How will you develop the lots- one at a time or all together? It depends on the market,
but we try to develop all at once.
