BACKGROUND INFORMATION
OWNER: East Southlake # 1 Ltd.
APPLICANT: Blake Architects
PURPOSE: The purpose of this request is to receive approval of a zoning change and a
site plan for the construction of a medical office building.
PROPERTY SITUATION: 900 E. Southlake Boulevard; approximately 1,100 feet west of N. Carroll
Avenue.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Tract 3D2, situated in the W.W. Hall Survey, Abstract No. 695
LAND USE CATEGORY: Medium Density Residential
CURRENT ZONING: “AG” Agricultural District
REQUESTED ZONING: “S-P-1” Detailed Site Plan District with “O-1” Office District uses
HISTORY: No development history exists for this property. A residence currently
occupies the property.
TRANSPORTATION
ASSESSMENT: Master Thoroughfare Plan
The Master Thoroughfare Plan recommends Southlake Boulevard to have
130 feet of right-of-way. Adequate right-of-way exists for this roadway.
Existing Area Road Network and Conditions
The proposed site will have one (1) full-access drive directly onto E.
Southlake Boulevard (F.M. 1709). The proposed drive on E. Southlake Blvd
will be a right-in/right-out drive. The site is proposing two (2) common
access drives for future connection into the site to the east.
E. Southlake Boulevard is a 5-lane, undivided thoroughfare with a
continuous, two-way, center left-turn lane. The roadway will ultimately be
widened to a 7-lane roadway.

Pkwy & Carroll Ave)

PATHWAYS MASTER
PLAN: According to the Master Pathways Plan, an 8’ multi-use trail is required
along the north side of E. Southlake Blvd. The trail is shown on the site plan.
WATER & SEWER: A 12” water line exists along the north side of E. Southlake Blvd. A 6”
sanitary sewer line exists along the north side of E. Southlake Blvd with an
8” sanitary sewer line parallel to the west property line on the adjacent
properties.
TREE PRESERVATION: In a conversation with the Applicant’s Engineer, he indicated that they could
save the 13” Oak between the building and the right-of-way and reroute the
on-site storm sewer to miss the existing Pine tree on the southwest corner of
the property. There are six (6) Pecans and one (1) Oak tree in front of the
building and between the building and the right-of-way. Although the pecans
are within the area of within 6’ of the building pad, these trees and the 13”
Oak could be preserved if the building were to be set back approximately 8’
feet. This would allow for the foundation elevation slope to be worked into
the existing grade and the preservation of the existing trees.
STAFF COMMENTS: Attached is Site Plan Review Summary No. 4, dated February 13, 2004.
Under the “S-P-1” Detailed Site Plan District zoning the applicant proposes
the following:
Building Setback – The east building setback shall be 15 feet form the
property line.
The following variances are being requested:
Parking - A total of 106 spaces are required for this site based on the
proposed medical use. The applicant is providing a total of 97 spaces.
Driveway Spacing – The minimum spacing required between full-access
drives on Southlake Boulevard (FM 1709) is 500 feet. The nearest drive
to the east is 262 feet.

THIS ANALYSIS IS PREPARED AT THE TIME OF REVIEW OF THE ABOVE REFERENCED
PROJECT AND IS TO PROVIDE AN ANALYSIS OF THE PLAN OR SURVEY AND THE IMPACT OF
CONSTRUCTION ON ANY PROTECTED TREES ON THE SITE. FOR ANY QUESTIONS OR
CLARIFICATION CONTACT KEITH MARTIN, LANDSCAPE ADMINISTRATOR AT (817) 481-5640
TREE PRESERVATION COMMENTS:
1. In a conversation with the Applicant’s Engineer he indicated that they could save the 13” Oak
between the building and the right-of-way and reroute the on-site storm sewer to miss the existing
Pine tree on the southwest corner of the property. He did not want to move the building back on the
lot to preserve the Pecan Trees.
2. There are six (6) Pecans and one (1) Oak tree in front of the building and between the building and
the right-of-way. Although the pecans are within the area of within 6’ of the building pad, these trees
and the 13” Oak could be preserved if the building were to be set back approximately 8’ feet. This
would allow for the foundation elevation slope to be worked into the existing grade and the
preservation of the existing trees.
3. Since the 6 Pecan are located within 6’ of the building pad they would not be required to be
mitigated. The 13” Oak and 16” Pine tree and any other trees removed outside of 6’ from the
building pad and that are not in a utility and drainage easement where utilities are being installed or
drainage improved, fire lane or parking area will be required to be mitigated in accordance with the
regulations of the Tree Preservation Ordinance. (See the Non-Residential Development comment
below)
* Non-Residential Development: In a non-residential development, all protected trees that the
Landscape Administrator determines must be altered in order to install utility lines within public
R.O.W. or public utility or drainage easements as shown on an approved Final Plat, or to install fire
lanes, required parking areas and building pad sites as shown on an approved Site Plan, shall be
exempt from the tree protection and tree replacement requirements listed in Sections 7 and 8 of the
Tree Preservation Ordinance. Any protected trees within these areas that the Landscape
Administrator determines do not have to be altered shall be subject to the tree protection
Case No. Attachment D
ZA03-085 Page 4
requirements listed in Section 8 of the Tree Preservation Ordinance, but not to the tree replacement
requirements listed in Section 7 of the Tree Preservation Ordinance. All other areas of the
development shall be subject to both the tree replacement and the tree protection requirements, and
all other provisions of the Tree Preservation Ordinance.
