CASE NO: ZA24-0004
PROJECT: Plat Revision for Malik Estates
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY: Seema Malik is requesting approval of a variance to Section 4.011 of Subdivision
Ordinance No. 483, as amended, regarding "Expiration of Plats" and approval of
a one (1) year extension of the validity of case ZA24-0004, Plat Revision for Lot
1 R, Lot 2, and Lot 3, Malik Estates Addition, being a revision of Lot 1, Malik
Estates Addition, and Tracts 1A01A2B and 1A01A2C, Ben J. Foster Survey
Abstract No. 519, City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas, and located at 905-
925 Randol Mill Ave, Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning: "SF-1A" and "SF-30"
Single Family Residential Zoning District. SPIN Neighborhood #5.
DETAILS: The Plat Revision for Lot 1 R, Lot 2, and Lot 3, Malik Estates Addition, which was
approved by City Council on March 19, 2024, will divide the property into three
residential lots in conformance with the approved Zoning Change and Concept
Plan (case ZA22-0037). A Plat Revision expires one year after approval if not
recorded in the county records, and as such, this Plat Revision expired on March
19, 2025. The applicant is now seeking a variance for the plat expiration as well
as a one-year extension of the validity of the plat due to difficulty in obtaining the
lienholder's signature.
ACTION NEEDED: Consider variance and extension approval

SOUTHLAKE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Consolidated Future Land Use Plan
The future land use designation for the site is Low Density Residential.
Purpose: The purpose of the Low -Density Residential land use category
is to provide for and to protect low intensity detached single-family
residential development that promotes the openness and rural character
of Southlake.
Definition: The Low -Density Residential category is for detached single-
family residential development at a net density of one or fewer dwelling
units per acre. Net density is the number of dwelling units per net acre,
which excludes acreage in all rights -of -way, easement, and lots
designated for public or private streets. Other suitable activities are those
permitted in the Public Parks / Open Space and Public / Semi -Public
categories. The Low -Density Residential category encourages the
openness and rural character of the City of Southlake.

minimum finish floor criteria.
b. The owners of all corner lots shall maintain sight triangles in accordance with the
City Subdivision Ordinance.

13. Prior to filing, remove improvements/infrastructure on the plat.
Tree Conservation/Landscape Review
Please submit a Tree Conservation Plan which conforms to the Tree Conservation Plan
approved with the Zoning and Concept Plan.
Information required for Tree Conservation Plan:
i. Identification of Critical Environmental Features of the site:
A. All individually protected trees
B. Existing streams, drainage creeks, ponds, and other water bodies (if any)
ii. Tree Survey or alternative to a tree survey
iii. 2-foot contour map of the site
iv. Protected trees within the tree preservation area including tree size and type
V. Critical Root Zones of groups of trees
vi. Critical Root Zones for individual trees required for site plans only
vii. Boundaries of any tree preservation areas as identified in the ERP Map
viii. Identification of areas of environmental constraints not suitable for development
ix. Identification of areas of minimal environmental constraints that are suitable for
development
X. Areas of encroachment into Critical Environmental Features identified on the site
A. Clear delineation, for each protected tree, of whether the tree will be preserved after
the proposed development is constructed, altered due to proposed improvements, or
could potentially be saved based upon site specific conditions
xii. Stream/Creek buffers, if any
xiii. Detailed site plan of all proposed improvements. (All proposed improvements shall be
required to be shown only at the site plan stage for all development. Preliminary
plats shall, however, show building setbacks and general location of buildings and
infrastructure.)
xiv. Setbacks, building lines, and buffer yards
xv. The names, addresses and telephone numbers of those persons or entities who own
the property and those persons or entities filing the application
xvi. Such additional information as the Administrative Official may reasonably require
given the particular characteristics of the property.
2. Provide the existing tree cover calculations on the Tree Conservation Plan. The existing tree
cover calculations consist of the total percentage of existing tree cover on the property, the
total percentage of existing tree cover proposed to be removed, and the total percentage of
existing tree cover proposed to be preserved.
Except as provided by subsection 7.2.b. of the Tree Preservation Ordinance, a Tree
Conservation Analysis or Tree Conservation Plan shall be approved if it will preserve existing
tree cover in accordance with the percentage requirements established by Table 2.0. If the
property has previously received a tree permit related to development, the percentage of existing
tree cover at the time the first such permit was issued shall be used to calculate the minimum
existing tree cover that must be preserved under this section.

*The minimum percentage of existing tree cover to be preserved shall exclude any area in
public rights -of -way as approved by City Council.
Please be aware that all existing trees shown to be preserved on the City Council approved Tree
Conservation Plan must be preserved and protected during all phases and construction of the
development. Alteration or removal of any of the existing trees shown to be preserved on the
approved Tree Conservation Plan is a violation of the Tree Preservation Ordinance and the
zoning as approved by the Southlake City Council. Please ensure that the layout of all structures,
easements, utilities, structures grading, and any other structure proposed to be constructed do
not conflict with existing trees intended to be preserved.
LANDSCAPE COMMENTS:
A 15' — Q type bufferyard is required on all three (3) lots and to be provided along the west
property line adjacent to the right-of-way of Randol Mill Avenue. The required landscaping within
the bufferyard is to be installed prior to the final inspection and issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy for each residential structure built on each lot. Existing trees and associated
vegetation within the bufferyard area may count towards required plant material within the
bufferard. The plant material requirement for each lot and each 100' of linier distance of the
bufferyard is as follows.
15'— Q Type Bufferyard / 100'
2 — Canopy Trees
3 — Accent Trees
10 — Shrubs
Lot 1-R — 308.05'

Public Works/Engineering Review
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The preferred lot drainage design is to eliminate cross lot drainage and have each lot drain
toward the street. If cross lot drainage is required, the cross lot drainage flow shall be
contained in a closed system or a rear lot line swale designed to handle the 1 % storm event
and shall be located within a drainage easement. Lot 2-R appears to be draining onto Lot
1-R. If the runoff from Lot 2-R is proposed to drain onto Lot 1-R and then into the ditch along
the north side of Lot 1-R, then a private drainage easement will be required to be shown on
the plat.
2. If cross lot drainage is necessary, add a note to the plat specifying that the private drainage
easement shall be maintained by the property owner.
Be aware that sewer pipe with less than 3' of cover shall be steel encased.
Sewer service laterals less than 6" in diameter shall connect directly into the sewer main
rather than into the manhole.

requirements and fees for Lots 2 and 3 (Sect. 7 of Subd. Ord. 483, as amended), off -site sewer
extensions, off -site drainage and utility easements and impact fees. If no Developer's agreement

processed and filed in the County Plat Records, landscape & tree conservation plan, irrigation
plan, and building plans, must be submitted for approval and all required fees must be paid.
This may include but not be limited to the following fees: Park Fee, Roadway Impact Fee, Water
& Sewer Impact and Tap Fees, and related Permit Fees.
In addition to the City of Southlake impact fees, please be aware that through the wholesale
water customer contract with the City of Fort Worth, all new water connections are required to
pay the City of Fort Worth impact fee. The City of Fort Worth impact fee assessment is based
on the final plat recordation date and building permit issuance. The applicant is encouraged to
