Tree Conservation/Landscape Review
TREE CONSERVATION COMMENTS:
1. The submitted Tree Conservation Plan complies with the existing tree cover preservation
requirements of the Tree Preservation Ordinance 585-E. There is 25.1% of existing tree cover across
the proposed development and a minimum of 60% of the existing tree cover is required to be
preserved. A total of 40% of the existing tree cover which includes the “Marginal” trees is proposed to
be remove, and a total of 60% is 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.
Table 2.0 – Existing Tree Cover Preservation Requirements

the entire site
Minimum percentage of the
existing tree cover to be
preserved*
0% – 20% 70%

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.

Public Works/Engineering Review
GENERAL COMMENTS:

DRAINAGE COMMENTS:
1. Sub-basin N3 appears to flow toward the west where it dead-ends into the cul-de-sac based on

toward the proposed inlets to the east?
2. The cul-de-sac flow arrows shows the flow to be towards the back of the cul-de-sac, however,
there is no storm infrastructure shown in this section. How will drainage flow be mitigated in the
cul-de-sac?
* Drainage – The property drains from the east to the west. The portion of the west side of the
