PO BOX 1230 (5004 Thompson Terrace, Suite 107) Colleyville, Texas 76034 Office: (817) 281-5600 Cell: (817) 522-8752 Gerald@WardArchitecturePLLC.com www.wardarchitecturepllc.com SITE PLAN NARRATIVE LETTER Ward Architecture PLLC Gerald Ward P.O. Box 1230 5004 Thompson Terrace, Suite 107 Colleyville, TX 76034 817-281-5600 Date: June 24, 2020 TO: The City of Southlake – Department of Planning & Development Services 1400 Main Street Suite #310, Southlake, TX 76092 Project Name: Medical Office Building Project Address: 300 Parkwood Drive, Southlake, TX 76092 Mr. Killough: Attached please find the site plan submission for 300 Parkwood Drive Medical Office Building – Southlake, Texas We are requesting approval of our site plan submission package for a one story new medical office building approximately 10,654 square feet. The building will consist of leasable medical office spaces. The exterior architectural details aim to tie into the surrounding building design fabric commercially, as well as not to intrude on the residential behind the lot. The preservation area/ no disturbance area per site plan 2007, ZA 07-108 is to remain intact. A retaining wall is to be built between the preservation area and the development to allow for any grade changes required and to also shield car lights and activity from both the tree preservation and residential area behind by extending up three feet from higher grade. A SPIN meeting was held April 26 and we addressed their concerns as follows: 1. We will have no site pole lighting on the property except for building mounted wall packs and sconce lighting. All sconces and wall packs will be on a timer. 2. A traffic study worksheet was provided for the site plan submission showing minimal traffic being generated by this facility. 3. The building use is planned to be medical office. If a secondary use would be introduced, it would only be a business allowed by the current zoning. In no scenario would a use be allowed in the building which would have medical or other hazardous waste on the exterior or in the dumpster. 4. The neighbors noted that there are currently two Parkwood streets that are not connected. We will be located at the end of the Parkwood that connects to Southlake Blvd. The other Parkwood connects to a side street and leads to the residential neighborhood behind. Our development will have minimal traffic generation, and none should impact the residential community behind us. The residents requested renaming the street and not connecting the two streets in the future. We view our access as from Southlake Blvd and do not wish for the two Parkwood streets to be connected. We are also not opposed to renaming of the street if that helps with any confusion regarding the streets. 5. We removed the sidewalk from the cul-de-sac to the parking lot. 6. The proposed building is 158 feet from the corner property line of the nearest residential neighbor. 7. We have provided a retaining wall along the back and a slight turn up for screening of vehicles as well as landscape screening along the street. 8. The vicinity map was changed in the submission to clearly show the two Parkwood streets to not connect. Ward Architecture, PLLC Ward Architecture PLLC.

The owner wishes to be a good neighbor for all.

The property legal description is LOT 13R O.W. Knight No.899 Addition Doc. No. D208354134 PRTCT. The current zoning is SP1. The proposed use should comply with the current zoning. The property has previously been platted. Please contact our office if you have any questions. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Gerald A. Ward Architect, TX No. 11748
