Questions for staff by the Committee:
N/A
Applicant presentation: Drew Shepard
Questions for applicant by the Committee:
Shawn McCaskill: On the backside of property, the current tenant has some sort of
detailing service, right? With pop-up tents?
Applicant: Correct, that is a full-detail service tent
Amy Torres-Lepp: Is it part of business plan to have self-vacuum stations? Or is that
part of your research thinking Southlake needs self-vacuum service?
Applicant: The carwash is not self-wash; the cars would still go through the tunnel for a
wash. Full-service is in high demand.
Randy Robbins: Your competitor in Grapevine has four lanes and it’s packed all the
time. It seems like you’re bottlenecking the full-service piece and opening 18 vacuum
stations expecting customer to drive-thru the express lane then pull around and vacuum
their car afterwards. I'm trying to grasp the concept because it sounds like a reduction in
service rather than an enhancement in service.
Applicant: We are adding additional services. The full-service menu items will be
expanded from what they currently are now.
Randy Robbins: Are all concepts of Carnation only two lanes of entry? Or are some
bigger than that?
Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #6 – Krystal Clean Carwash
Meeting #37 – March 28, 2022 Page 4
Applicant: Most of our sites are two lanes of entry. Given the historical car count on this
site, which is approx. 50,000 cars, we have some sites that are two lanes that run
160,000 cars. Our full price service starts at $35, but we have a wash as cheap as $8.
Austin Reynolds: Going from the number of lanes there currently down to two makes it
less desirable because the queuing will back-up. Do you foresee that happening?
Applicant: We do not foresee this stacking to back-up to Davis Blvd. We are happy to
provide surveys from other sites to show that queuing will not be an issue.
Austin Reynolds: More information will be better. Biggest concern about stacking and
traffic increases. The land east of this property - are there plans for this or just buffer?
Applicant: Just excess property, but we would love to use it if we can.
Austin Reynolds: Let us know about the queuing aspect.
Frances Scharli: Are you removing any trees with this plan?
Applicant: The plan does call for the removal of two trees, but they will be replaced
elsewhere. We are adding additional trees on the south property line that abuts
residential properties.
Frances Scharli: To Commissioner Reynolds point, I also have concerns about
queuing and stacking on this property.
Applicant: Our plan is to replace the equipment in the tunnel, specifically the conveyor
belt so we can process more cars at a quicker rate.
Dan Kubiak: Staff question - when was this SUP originally approved?
Dennis Killough: 1995
Dan Kubiak: Are we comfortable with the change from full-service to flex-service?
Dennis Killough: The SUP requires a full-service carwash. For the applicant to change
that, they will need to undergo a zoning change to a site plan district to adjust to self-
service use.
Dan Kubiak: So overall they will need a rezoning and a new SUP?
Dennis Killough: At a minimum it would require rezoning to SP1 (detailed site plan
district).
Dan Kubiak: I think the question is - are we comfortable with self-service uses from full-
service?
Randy Robbins: If you bring this to Council, we will need examples of stacking plans
and samples when this if full/busy. I just don’t see self-service working.
Applicant: I will say the car count on the site is tied to consumer behavior.
Amy Torres-Lepp: Yes, to echo Councilmember Robbins we will want to see stacking
plans and car counts on other sites. I’m not excited about vacuum stations/self-service
aspect.

Meeting #37 – March 28, 2022 Page 5
Applicant: We have two locations in Park Cities and Highland Park/University Park. I
appreciate the feedback. We will provide as much data as possible of other comparable
locations.
Dan Kubiak: Great idea to bring examples of other facilities and how they work. Also,
explain the business model more in depth.
Austin Reynolds: Pictures of the new concept would be great too.
