CITY STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PROJECT RECEIVED BY THE CITY ON 06/02/03 AND WE
OFFER THE FOLLOWING STIPULATIONS. THESE STIPULATIONS ARE HEREBY MADE CONDITIONS OF PLAT
APPROVAL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY AMENDED BY THE CITY COUNCIL. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR
NEED FURTHER CLARIFICATION, PLEASE CONTACT BEN BRYNER AT (817) 481-2086.
1. Relocate dimensions on lots as necessary to eliminate conflict with easements to maintain legibility.
2. Separate the lienholder statement and signature block with notary from the owner’s dedication and
signature block. The lienholder statement and signature block with notary needs to be separate from
the owner’s dedication and certificate block due to the separate signatures needed.
3. Fully dimension the proposed drainage easement. The easement has a variable width and therefore
cannot be dimensioned by the centerline measurements alone. There are a few bearings and
distances that are still missing.
4. The following changes are needed regarding the proposed lotting:
a) Fully dimension all lot lines with bearings and distances. There are some lot lines that do
not have bearings labeled.
b) Provide minimum finish floor elevations on all lots adjacent to the drainage easement.
INFORMATIONAL COMMENTS
* A 35’ building setback line is required on both street frontages for a corner lot. The approved PUD
development regulations allow a 15’ reduction (20’ B.L.) for Lot 4, Block 2. (The reduction in the
setback was approved with the preliminary plat.)
* A minimum lot width of 125’ is required on all lots abutting property that is currently zoned or
platted residential or has an approved Low Density Residential designation according to the City
Land Use Map. (A variance was approved with the preliminary plat for Lots 1, 5, 11 & 16,
Block 1 and Lot 10, Block 2.)

* A through street connection to Sweet Street was required. (A variance was approved with the
preliminary plat waiving this requirement.)
* All open spaces proposed as public parks are subject to City Council approval and should be
addressed as part of the Developer’s Agreement. The Park Board has recommended acceptance of
the park dedications. Please see attached exhibit & minutes (Attachment E).
* Although there are a few lot lines which are not perpendicular or radial, they appear to meet the
intent of this requirement.
* It appears a portion of this property lies within the 65 LDN D/FW Regional Airport Overlay Zone,
requiring construction standards in compliance with the Airport Compatible Land Use Zoning
Ordinance No. 479.
* A “Certificate of Taxes Paid” indicating that there are no delinquent taxes owed on the subject
property from each taxing authority must be provided to the City prior to filing this plat in the
County records. A copy of this information may be obtained from the Tarrant county Tax
Assessor/Collector’s Office located at 100 E. Weatherford St. in Ft. Worth (across from the old red
courthouse). There is a service charge of $10 per account for this certificate. For more information
contact the Assessor/Collector’s office at (817) 884-1103.
* Please submit a revised blueline "check print" prior to submitting blackline mylars with original
signatures.
* Original signatures and seals will be required three blackline mylars prior to filing the plat. Also
required are two sets of owner's dedications and notaries (8.5" x 11" or 14" paper) with original
signatures and seals on each. Mylars will not be accepted if any erasures or original ink, other than
signatures or seals, appear on the plat.
* A Developers Agreement is required prior to construction of any public infrastructure. The
Developer's Agreement for this addition should consider streets, drainage, park dedication
requirements and fees, off-site sewer extensions, off-site drainage and utility easements and impact
fees.
* We recommend this plat not be filed until the Developer’s Agreement and construction plans have
been substantially approved. This will ensure adequate easements and finish floor elevations.

Park Dedication Exhibit & Minutes
(1) Agenda Item No. 5-C. Recommendation of park dedication requirements for the Oak Pointe residential
development.
Senior Park Planner Chris Carpenter presented the park dedication request for the Oak Pointe residential
development, a proposed 26 lot subdivision, located north of Dove, across Ridgecrest Drive from the Liberty
Park at Sheltonwood Park. According to the Southlake Subdivision Ordinance, the addition would be
required to either dedicate 0.65 acres of park land or the equivalent in park dedication fees of $39,000. The
applicant has requested to offset the payment of park dedication fees by dedicating to the public a
combination of open space areas within the development totaling 8.19 acres. The estimated value of the land
proposed for dedication is approximately $491,400, based on the currently adopted Park Dedication
ordinance and the established raw land acreage value of $60,000 per acre. In addition, the developer has
committed to providing general clearing and pruning and walking paths in the larger tracts, as well as basic
amenities such as benches and picnic tables. The developer is committed to a “natural” open space concept,
wherein the city would agree to only minimal maintenance for health and safety purposes while leaving the
open space in a natural state. Staff has considered these factors and is comfortable that the maintenance
requirements will not adversely impact current operations. Staff believes that this type cluster development
with ample open space will provide a good model for future development on the north side of town. The
developer would agree to provide minimal off-street parking (6 to 10 spaces) for public access typical of a
“neighborhood park” concept.
Discussion:
Mr. Carpenter answered questions about the location of the subdivision (approximately 500 feet north of
Dove Road on Ridgecrest), whether there is a proposed name for the park (not at this time – that would be
up to the Park Board and City Council), and if there would be a cleared area where playground equipment
could be placed (something very low-keyed would not be out of place in the development).
Kosse Maykus, developer of Oak Pointe Addition, was present to address questions from the Board. Mr.
Maykus explained the configuration between lot 10 and lot 12. The park will be for public use, however, the
intent is not to have an intense-developed park area. Mr. Maykus agreed to install a 4-foot wide concrete
trail system in the park that will tie into the subdivision sidewalks.
A motion was made to approve the recommendation for park dedication requirements for Oak Pointe
residential development as presented, to accept 8.19 acres in lieu of any dedication fees.
