Subject: Renaming One of the Two Parkwood Drives in Southlake
Dear Dennis
Thank you for your guidance so far as to how to request an ordinance for the renaming of a
street near our homes. This letter is a request for the City Council to pass an ordinance to
rename a street, is consistent with prior City Council votes and promises made at Council
meetings and is supported by the people who would be most affected by the proposed change.
Our primary goal is to keep FM 1709 and commercial traffic out of a residential neighborhood
and away from a school crossing.
Below and attached is the information I believe will be needed to draft the ordinance. Also,
enclosed is a check for $105.00 payable to the City of Southlake for the application fee.
The residential area most affected by the proposed item is Northwood Park, one of the 17
neighborhoods of Timarron. I am a neighborhood representative of Northwood Park to our
HOA (Timarron) and have been representing my neighbors on this issue to the City for many
years.
Parkwood Drive (“residential Parkwood”) has 5 homes on it. The other Parkwood Drive
(“commercial Parkwood”) is in a commercial area, with soon to be three businesses and land
designated as a City park. Any form of the name Parkwood Drive is not used by the two existing
businesses for mail or advertising or elsewhere based on internet and Tarrant Appraisal District
searches. Once the third business is built, they will need an address which is why we want to
change the name now.
Also, our recommendation is based on talking and working with the developer beginning at the
SPIN meeting on April 26, 2022, during which the developer considered recommendations from
homeowners regarding screening and lighting, amongst other things. After the meeting the
developer visited with the most affected homeowner, walking the property. The neighborhood
views the SPIN process as having been very successful in this instance. While we understand
various processes are being reconsidered by the City, and not related to our current request,
we would hope SPIN would be retained in its essential form.
1. Requested Item
a. Rename one of the two disconnected Southlake streets currently named
Parkwood Drive to Olivia Court and update public maps as well as ESRI maps
with the changes
i. Rename the portion running south from FM 1709 to a cul-de-sac adjacent
to the former Senior Center (“commercial Parkwood”), changing the
name to Olivia Court from Parkwood Drive
ii. Leave unchanged the portion of Parkwood Drive running west from
Byron Nelson Parkway (across from Rockenbaugh Elementary) and
terminating at the intersection with Northwood Trail (“residential
Parkwood”)
iii. See attached TAD map for current layout
iv. ESRI maps used by developers show the roads connected, confusing
people and causing angst in the residential neighborhood. See various
examples of erroneous maps in City presentations attached
b. we could not find a record of any other Olivia Court anywhere in Southlake
(nearest similar named street appears to be in the Johnson County part of
Burleson per Tarrant Appraisal District)
c. the property owners adjacent to the proposed “Olivia Court” have consented to
the name change. The City of Southlake’s consent is being requested through
the ordinance. We are deferring to the developer who preferred “…a more
generic name and not the name of a business entity on the street. That would
be a more timeless solution.”
d. The use of “Court” designates ‘dead-end’ or ‘cul-de’sac’, which the street is and
to which prior City Councils have committed.
2. Reason for Requested Change
a. Street name Parkwood Drive in a residential neighborhood has the same name
as a commercial area street and, though no commercial business is using the
name yet, has caused and could continue to cause confusion.
i. Initially after the completion of the Calloway’s retail store, 18-wheeler
trucks would try to deliver via the residential neighborhood, often at pre-
dawn times. After realizing they could not get through, they would back
up down ‘residential’ Parkwood Drive, with corresponding back up
warning beeping.
b. City Council voted to NOT connect the two streets and a stated intention to
rename the commercial portion of Parkwood Drive (per City Council minutes,
various meetings, relevant sections attached)
i. 10/5/99 City Council Meeting, then Mayor Stacy committed to put on a
future agenda whether to complete the extension of Parkwood Drive
from the residential area into the commercial area and requested a study
of alternatives about whether Parkwood Drive should be extended and
connected, or separated. As background, apparently the original plat
with Parkwood Drive extending to FM 1709 was made in April 1996 and
Timarron’s developer later decided to NOT build all the way to Southlake
Boulevard (i.e., FM 1709), selling the land to the City.
ii. 1/4/00 City staff presented to Council its research and various
alternatives. One of the options, “option B” is roughly what exists today.
iii. 2/1/00 Council voted 7-0 to NOT connect the two portions of Parkwood
Drive (see attached City Council Minutes), choosing Option B, “…to
protect the residents from the through traffic.”
iv. 1/16/01 City Council meeting, then Director of Planning Bruce Payne
promised to rename “commercial Parkwood” something else
c. Final construction in the commercial area is about to start at what is currently
300 Parkwood Drive (approved by City Council August 6, 2022), so we want to
change the street name before anyone starts using it
i. Medical offices developer has requested a ‘neutral’ name, not tied to any
existing businesses
ii. In the Site Plan Narrrative Letter in the City Council Package for the
8/6/23 meeting, the developer stated in item 4 we “…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.”
d. ESRI maps used by developers portray the street layout incorrectly (shows it
connected), which is inconsistent with prior votes and promises of the City
Council
3. Consent of the Affected Properties
a. The developer of the new medical office building, Calloway’s, and Providence
Bank (recently renamed Great Plains Bank) have consented in writing (see all
three attached).
b. The City of Southlake is the other property affected. Approval of the ordinace
will serve as the City’s consent.
c. Northwood Park residents, the most directly affected neighborhood,
recommended changing the name at the SPIN meeting.
Please let me know what else you need me to do. Also, you can include any or all of what I am
sending you to the City Council or others you need to involve. Thanks in advance for all your
help.

The owner and our firm s/ll stands by the statements in the le5er. As far as a name we would prefer that it be
a more generic name and not the name of a business en/ty on the street. That would be a more /meless

Have enjoyed working with you so far.
Can you confirm your sen/ments as expressed in item 4 in the a5ached (which was in the City Council
package of 8/16/22)? We are ge\ng ready to make our applica/on to change the name as I finally have all
the consents from adjacent proper/es.
Also, does your client have any preference about the two names under considera/on? Right now the two
candidate names under considera/on are Calloway’s Court and Great Plains Court (Providence Bank are
ge\ng ready to change their name).
Also, I think there was a typo: the date should probably be June 24, 2022 (NOT 2020) since it was aber the
SPIN mee/ng.

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.

9. The owner wishes to be a good neighbor for all. If the Methodist church does have anything on the site which would
need to be relocated, the owner would work with the Methodist church to relocate that item.
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.

Eric,
This email shall serve as a confirma2on of the phone conversa2on we had this morning. We have no problem

[WARNING] This message comes from an external organiza2on. Be careful of embedded links.
John
Below is the background about renaming Parkwood Drive, a street adjacent to your Southlake loca2on.
My understanding is your affirma2ve response to this email would be sufficient as far as the City of Southlake
was concerned. When I called your office earlier today (10/28), and they suggested I leave a message and
that I send you an email with the background.
I performed various internet searches and have been unable to find where you have ever used the name
Parkwood Drive in any adver2sing or with the Tarrant Appraisal District.
Timarron Owners Associa2on (an HOA) are going to pe22on the City of Southlake to change the name of
Parkwood Drive to Calloway’s Court (or something else as long as Parkwood or Northwood are NOT in the
name). TOA is visible to you when you look out the back of your outdoor display area (through the really big
old tree), past the end of the cul de sac. The City told us to get consent from the owners who would be
affected directly by the change. The City gave us Calloway’s as one of the owners to be contacted.
For background, the Readers Digest version is there are two streets named Parkwood Drive that are close to
each other. One is in a residen2al neighborhood and part of Timarron (let’s call it “residen2al” Parkwood).
There are several homes that are using Parkwood Drive for their mailing address and have for a few decades.
The other is a commercial street next to Calloway’s (let’s call it “commercial” Parkwood). Your company owns
property adjacent to the west side of Parkwood Drive where it meets FM 1709 (a.k.a., Southlake Boulevard).
No one is using “commercial” Parkwood for their mailing address yet. With the recent approval of a medical
office on “commercial” Parkwood Drive (behind your store, on the site which Calloway’s sold off several years
ago), development is complete. We want to change the name before the new development starts using a
Parkwood address.
Consent of Calloway’s
Page 2 of 2
Apparently, the original plan, when the developer intended to build houses all the way to FM 1709, was to
have one Parkwood Drive. Those houses were never built. Per City Council mee2ng minutes, based on a
protest at a 1999 Council mee2ng and resul2ng City staff study, the City Council voted to NOT connect the
two segments in February 2000 “to protect the ci2zens from through traffic.” In January 2001 “Director of
Planning Bruce Payne said…it would be best to name that sec2on of the street something other than
Parkwood Drive, and it would be changed on the plat.” Unfortunately, renaming has not yet happened.
FWIW, the developer of the medical offices told the City Council in wri2ng that he supports a name change.
As far as Providence Bank (on the east side of the street), I am wai2ng for a response from their corporate
office, though the local branch did not have an objec2on.
Please let me know what other informa2on you might need.

Eric,
We agree to the change and would prefer Great Plains Court, if possible.
The bank building has been here since 2008. We own the bank building and the vacant detention lot.
I’ve been with the bank since 2007 and CEO since 2010. I’ll be staying on after the merger managing
our current locations including Southlake. The signage will change accordingly. I think the signage on
the building and the monument signage will also act as a landmark for the street name as well.
Thanks for reaching out and the consideration.

Thanks for your response. I used to do M&A for a living so I can imagine how busy you must be.
The Great Plains name is fine, though Timarron OA would prefer Court. We prefer Court to anything else
since it is associated with a cul de sac or ‘dead end’ street, whereas “Drive” might sound like it connects
through. We are trying to get rid of the connec-ng concept since it does cause confusion some-mes with
drivers and truck deliveries.
PreXy much everyone adjacent to the exis-ng (what we call) “commercial Parkwood Drive” has been saying
“as long as it does not use a compe-tor’s name we’re OK.”
We were going to recommend Calloway’s Court. It is the longest standing business in that immediate area
and would provide a useful ‘landmark’ address for the new medical offices going in behind Calloway’s.
Let me know what else you might need.

Hi Eric,
I apologize for missing your previous request. I’ve been busy preparing for a merger and have been
inundated with my normal email flow, and additional incoming emails from a variety of outside sources
as well.
How would you feel about the name Great Plains Drive or Court? I’d need to send this up to our

Just following up on this.
Also, the recep-onist told me that I could copy Donna H on this email. I can also answer any ques-ons

One update since the original email is that Calloway’s has signed off on the proposed name change, so the

concern is the proposed through-road from Northwood Park to F.M. 1709. He stated last
August this issue came forward at the Planning and Zoning Commission whereby letters
were sent to residents within 200' and at the time there were no residents within 200'.
Over the last year all of the homes have been built. He stated the residents feel this will
be another cut-through onto F.M. 1709. To avoid the school zone, people will follow this
path to get onto Byron Nelson Parkway from F.M. 1709. He read the petition to the
Councilmembers and audience, which expressed their concern is for the safety of the
children in the area. He asked to have this issue re-addressed by the City Council.
Mayor Stacy responded that because there were a lot of people present for this issue, the
goal of the Council would be to put this item on a future agenda for discussion. He stated
this is all that can be accomplished at this meeting. Comments from the audience stated
this issue was brought to a head by a sign that recently went up in the neighborhood that
said, "Future Through Street." Mayor Stacy informed the audience that this transaction
happened before any of the current Councilmembers were elected to Council. It is an
issue that was voted upon much earlier. When Council gets the informational packet they
will be able to review the information prior to this issue being placed on the council
agenda.
Councilmember Kendall asked to have this item on a future agenda. Councilmember
Edmondson asked staff to put together an informational packet regarding this issue.
Daniel Brady, 603 Northwood Trail, Southlake. Mr. Brady asked if the citizens could
get a copy of the informational packet when City staff prepares it. He stated that another
concern residents have is with the heavy congestion going up F.M. 1709 and everyone

trying to get to SH 114. Not only is this a cut-through during rush hour when all the kids
are getting on the buses, but there is a tremendous amount of traffic on Byron Nelson
Parkway trying to get to Brumlow Avenue to try and cut-through to bypass SH 114
traffic congestion. The natural flow will be going through Northwood Trail if the road is
allowed to be built.
Vicki Niblo, 400 Parkwood Court, Southlake. Ms. Niblo stated her house is on the comer
of Parkwood Court and Northwood Trail, and that her house is for sale and this issue is
scaring people away.
Jim Correl 507 Northwood Trail, Southlake. Mr. Correl stated when he first came here in
May, people were cautious about driving slow, and now the City is planning on putting
this road in and will be expanding the risk factor. Mr. Correl commented, "The City is
fortunate that we have police officers and enforce the speed zone and there are citations
that are given out almost daily. By increasing the risk factor, by adding the street, it is
not worth risking the safety of our children. There are 89 children in their community,
with 79 under twelve years old."
Ray Semadeni, 501 Northwood Trail, Southlake. Mr. Semadeni stated they were new to
Southlake and have only lived here about three months and they love the city. They are
very disturbed about what could happen with this road. When he came home today on
F.M. 1709, he was at the stop light at Byron Nelson Parkway and saw three or four cars
trying to make the short cut through the Village at Timarron. He stated he knows that is
what will happen with the road coming that way. The thought of a street coming through
there scares them a lot. He asked Council, "If this were happening in your neighborhood
what would you do?" He stated they want this on an agenda and want the City Council to
find an alternate road.
Mayor Stacy stated, "When the property was first purchased, it was purchased for a city
hall to be located on that property and there were some contractual obligations regarding
this road. Since the city hall is not going to be built there, there may be some alternate
ways to deal with this proposed through-roadway. It is working fine for the use by the
senior center and [the city] may not need a road there if we are not obligated to put the
road there. I know in the developer agreement, the developer of the office buildings, is
actually building the road at his expense."
Mayor Stacy read into the record the names of those that signed up opposing this item but
did not wish to speak.

MEMORANDUM
December 30, 1999
TO:Billy Campbell, City Manager
FROM:Karen Gandy, Zoning Administrator / Acting Planning Director, ext. 743
SUBJECT: Discussion Item: Parkwood Drive
Action Requested: Discussion of whether or not to abandon Parkwood Drive right -of -way as
requested by neighboring property owners during the public forum on
October 5, 1999.
Background
Information:The alignment of this roadway began in 1995 as part of a three -way land
negotiation with Timarron, Dr. Richards, and the City. The City desired
to purchase approximately 15 acres and Timarron desired to enlarge their
tract at the southwest corner of Byron Nelson Parkway (BNP) and FM
1709. Dr. Richard's resulting ownership was shifted west with the
understanding that there would be a loop road connecting back to BNP.
All this was accomplished and the city purchased the property. As a result,
the Municipal Campus Concept `A' was prepared (see attached).
Since April 18, 1996 when preliminary plats for both the municipal
complex and Timarron, Phase V (later named Northwood, Phase Two)
were approved, Street `A' (later platted as Parkwood Drive) has been
shown as a proposed 60 -foot R.O.W. extending from F.M. 1709 to Byron
Nelson Parkway.
A Site Plan was approved October 6, 1998 for French Square Office
Complex, located on the west side of Parkwood Drive and north of
Timarron Addition, Northwood Park, Phase Two. Driveway access was
approved and restricted to Parkwood Drive only. A condition of the plan
approval was that Parkwood Drive be constructed prior to issuance of a
building permit.
Please see attached chronologies prepared by Planning Assistant Tara
Brooks. A complete history is available in the Planning Department if you
need additional information.

Legal Reviews:The city attorney's office has reviewed the matter and will discuss their
findings with Council during the posted executive session at the January 4,
2000 meeting.
Financial
Considerations:None applicable.
Alternatives:Following are some options available on this issue:
a) Allow the road to continue as originally proposed.
b) Abandon a 400' segment of the roadway, in effect creating a cul -de -sac
just south of the northernmost proposed drive (approx. 350') for the
French Square Office Complex development. This would require the
Senior Center to have a driveway to the existing roadway or to the new
cul -de -sac.
c) Abandon the entire roadway maintaining a drive access to the south.

Agenda Item #10 -A, Alternative Alignments for Parkwood Drive
Director of Public Works Ron Harper stated at the January 4, 2000 City Council meeting,
the Planning Department presented several alternatives to the current Parkwood Drive
layout and alignment. Staff has provided a pro and con analysis of the alternatives
presented to date. Mr. Harper presents options "A" through "E" and explained each
option to the City Council noting that staff feels Option B is the best, with the
abandonment of the existing right -of -way.
Councilmember Wayne Moffat stated he feels the important thing at this time is to
protect the residents from the through traffic.
Ken Head, 501 Clayton Court, Southlake. Mr. Head stated he feels Option `B" will
minimize the traffic and that approving it would be a positive step in the right direction.
Ray Semadini, 501 Parkwood Drive, Southlake. Mr. Semadini stated he feel Option `B"
will accomplish what they feel is best for the neighborhood and that he speaks for the
entire neighborhood. As you go forward there is potential here as well as a park, or
selling that land back to the developers, finishing out the neighborhood, and for the senior
center, and the entire neighborhood it is a win -win situation for everyone."
Ed Gibbons with Remax Real Estate. Mr. Gibbons stated he is representing Dr. Richards,
and noted that the main concern for Dr. Richards is access to Byron Nelson Parkway and
F.M. 1709. He stated Option `B" is a good plan.

Terry Wilkinson, owner, applicant. Mr. Wilkinson discussed the issues of parking on the
back of the building vs. parking in the front of the building next to F.M. 1709. He stated
he prepared the site plan with parking in the rear because he though that is what the
Council wanted to see on F.M. 1709.
Dr. Rick Radenham. Dr. Radenham described the use of the building to the Council
stating basically these are primarily insured patients that are referred to them for a CAT

Ed Gibbons, applicant, 3309 Spruce Lane, Grapevine. Mr. Gibbons stated he was
speaking for the applicant and that a Dallas restaurant, the "Rooster," was interested in
locating on this property. He indicated it was a "fourstar" restaurant with approximately
5,300 square feet in the building. The parking on the plan meets the requirements of the
ordinance.
Kenny Anderson, builder, was present to answer questions from Council.
Todd Tracy, owner of Rooster, 331 South White Chapel Boulevard, Southlake. Mr. Tracy
stated, "The Dallas location is built like a plantation style home. The restaurant is one of
four "Four Star" restaurants in Dallas and is open for lunch and dinner with Sunday
brunch and that the quality is equal to the Classic Cafe in Southlake."
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Ray Samendini, 501 Northwood Trail, Southlake. Mr. Samendini stated he did not have a
problem with a professional building being built on this site, but he did have a problem
with a restaurant because of traffic, noise issues and a buffer issue. He stated he and his
neighbors are opposed to a restaurant at that location.
Kim Wolfe, 601 Parkwood Drive, Southlake. Ms. Wolfe stated she had issues with the
naming of Parkwood Drive in the area off Southlake Boulevard. She said she lives on
Parkwood Drive and it seems to her it should be named something different.
Director of Planning Bruce Payne said after he had talked with Ms. Wolfe they
decided it would be best to name that section of the street something other than
Parkwood Drive, and it would be changed on the plat.
Mike Manella, 614 Northwood Trail, Southlake. Mr. Manella stated he had no objections
to locating a restaurant as the one named in Southlake, but does have a concern with the
long -term use of the property and was opposed to a restaurant in that location.
Mayor Stacy commented that everyone agrees this use does not fit the Land Use Plan. He
stated he would love to see the Rooster Restaurant in Southlake, but not in this location.
Councilmembers Fawks and Kendall agreed this was not the location for a restaurant.
Mr. Gibbons asked if the zoning could be approved for "0-1" Office District uses, and
that he understood that he had a lot of work to do before this case is presented to Council
at the next meeting.
City Attorney E. Allen Taylor Jr., explained the process to the applicant and Council.
Motion was made to approve ZA 00 -121 as "0-1" Office District uses, subject to the
applicant reconfiguring the lots before it comes back for 2 Reading.
