Presentation:
Questions, Comments and Concerns:
Comment/Concern: The City mentioned that a rental center would be placed on this property,
and we didn’t mind that. I don’t mind a car wash being here but only if its all indoors. I don’t want
to see light or hear noise.
Concern: I’m concerned about the noise, the light, and potential traffic this development could
bring.
Question: Are you under contract to buy the land?
Answer: We are in contract. The previous owner did have plans to build a retail center there, but
it fell through so he decided to sell the property.
Comment: If everything is indoors, I’m good with that. I don’t want vacuum cleaners or noise
disturbing us. We do not want traffic.
Question: Is 101 N. Pearson on the NE corner of Pearson and 1709?
Answer: Yes
Question: The entrance to your facility will be off Pearson and 1709?
Answer: We’re purchasing the entire property, so its 2.2 acres. We have access for a curb
cutout next to Southlake Utilities.
Question: 300 cars per hours and a 10 hour work day that this facility will be operating?
Answer: No, we can handle 200 per hour and were not expecting more than 500 cars per day
Question: But you can handle 2,000 per day?
Answer: We could.
Question: Can the traffic handle that?
Answer: We still need to do a traffic study that’s required by the city
Comment: Did you do a traffic study? I can’t think of one person in Southlake or Westlake who
washes their own car. I don’t know who you’re marking this to.
