Staff presentation: Ryan Firestone • Future Land Use: Public/Semi-Public and Medium Density Residential Use • Zoning: CS • Summary: The applicant is proposing 2 concept plans. Plan A would be 11 lots and Plan B would be 6 lots. Questions for Staff and Applicant David Cunningham • Asked whether the proposed hammerhead turnaround on the private street meets Fire Department requirements. • Later suggested reversing the curve of the hammerhead to function more like a half cul-de-sac, making it easier for vehicles entering the neighborhood to turn around while still meeting fire code. • Clarified that his suggestion involved rounding the north–south curves of the hammerhead to improve maneuverability. • Expressed agreement during later discussion about lot configuration concerns raised by other commissioners. Dennis Killough (Staff) • Stated that staff has not yet evaluated the turnaround with the Fire Department. • Noted the driveway appears to exceed 150 feet, triggering fire turnaround requirements. • Expressed concern that the current hammerhead may not be deep enough for fire apparatus turning movements. • Indicated the design could be adjusted to comply with Fire Department standards. Southlake Corridor Planning Committee Item #7 – 940-1050 S. Carroll Ave. and 1000-1040 Breeze Way Meeting #54 – January 28, 2026 Page 4 • Explained that the proposal includes a variance request: o Lots would front on a private access easement rather than a public street. o The private access would be maintained by the property owners or an HOA. Daniel Kubiak • Asked clarifying questions about: o Lot 3 driveway access (confirmed to be off the private road). o Driveway access for Lots 1 and 2 (confirmed to be off Breezeway). • Revisited concerns from a prior meeting regarding the private road. • Summarized the applicant’s rationale that the irregular site shape required creative design solutions. Frances Scharli • Raised concerns about traffic stacking and congestion on Breezeway, especially during school pickup times. • Noted that parents often park early, creating congestion with no stacking room on the private drive. • Questioned whether the applicant is prepared to manage parents parking on the private road. • Asked why the road is private if it is not gated. • Asked whether there are plans to preserve existing trees. • Expressed mixed feelings about the private drive configuration. Austin Reynolds • Raised concerns about the overall lot configuration, particularly Lots 5 and 6. • Stated that Lots 5 and 6 feel like a flag-lot condition, even if they may not technically meet the definition. Southlake Corridor Planning Committee Item #7 – 940-1050 S. Carroll Ave. and 1000-1040 Breeze Way Meeting #54 – January 28, 2026 Page 5 • Suggested that Lots 5 and 6 be combined, while noting that Lots 1–4 and the eastern lots appeared consistent with the surrounding area. Curtis Young (Applicant / Representative for Property Owners) • Explained zoning context: o Two lots already zoned and platted R-20. o Adjacent church property zoned CS, providing additional depth. • Described the challenge of providing street access to the rear lots. • Explained that adjacent school property across Breezeway is being purchased by the applicants to make the layout work. • Acknowledged the property is part of the Versailles RUD, with open space considerations still needing resolution. • Compared surrounding lot sizes and explained the decision to remain consistent with SF-20 / R-20 standards. • Defended the hammerhead design: o Stated it was modeled after Fire Department hammerhead standards. o Explained it appears shorter due to showing 30 feet of paving, not the 24 feet typically shown in fire diagrams. o Confirmed willingness to lengthen or adjust the turnaround if required by Fire. • Agreed that the hammerhead corners could be rounded to function more like a half cul-de-sac. • Explained the private road rationale: o A full cul-de-sac would require excessive paving and damage lot usability. o The proposed design provides fire access without excessive concrete. • Responded to traffic and stacking concerns by noting the private drive serves only four homes. • Explained the road is private because it does not meet public street standards, not because it will be gated.

Carroll Ave. and 1000-1040 Breeze Way Meeting #54 – January 28, 2026 Page 6 • Addressed tree preservation: o School property is largely treeless. o Trees along property lines will be preserved where possible. o Private drive was intentionally offset 10 feet from the property line to protect existing trees. o A landscape easement is proposed to help preserve the tree line.
