QUESTIONS / CONCERNS
Where is the gas well in Westlake located?
Over 600 feet to the northÎ
What about the 1000 foot setback that has been established in Southlake?
It may not apply since the well was here first and homeowners will have fullÎ
ing a residential subdivision less than 1000 feet away from a gas
What is the minimum lot size?
15,000 square feet; about 1.4 dwelling units per acreÎ
Will there be a clubhouse?
NoÎ
Centurion American has over ninety (90) residential developmentsÎ
Who will build?
Toll Brothers will likely be the builderÎ
Will these homes be in keeping with the surrounding properties?
Yes, we are considering what is surroundingÎ
What is the estimated price point?
750K to 1.5 millionÎ
Didnt you develop Terra in Colleyville?
No. Terra Plantation was built around 1975Î
Iwould like to see a more timeless design. We have seen so much of this castle
theme. Southlake has enough of this... would like to see hill country or
Mediterranean.
What kind of fencing will be between the lots?
Wood board-on-board. All of the open space will have wrought-iron. Î
How many trees are you taking out?
We do not have a tree survey yet; this is just zoning at this pointÎ
The homes look very large for such small lot size. This is typical Toll Brothers.
We would like to see larger lots; we are concerned about school capacity; we are also
concerned about the existing gas well.
