Questions for Applicant
Daniel Kubiak
Asked how the outdoor patio functions and whether there is pedestrian flow through
space.
Aliana Ramos
Apple Store is located to the left.
Pedestrians move upward via a gentle ramped walkway.
The patio area expands outward and occupies one existing parking space.
Clarified that the patio is open and not enclosed, allowing pedestrian access through the
area.
Stated the patio is intended for public use, not limited to Pottery Barn patrons.
Emphasized that the design was created with Southlake’s pedestrian environment in
mind.
Frances Scharli
Raised concerns about potential loitering, noise or disruptive behavior, particularly from
children using the space, and asked whether the applicant had a plan to manage those
issues.
Aliana Ramos
Acknowledged that Pottery Barn regularly manages loitering issues.
Stated there is no formal plan currently.
Expressed confidence in the area and agreed to coordinate with store management
proactively.
Austin Reynolds

Meeting #54 – January 28, 2026 Page 4
Noted that the current design narrows the sidewalk to approximately 5 feet 4 inches
between the tree basin and wall.
Expressed concern that this narrowing could create a pedestrian bottleneck, especially
for foot traffic moving from Apple toward City Hall.
Recommended widening the pedestrian path if possible.
Aliana Ramos
Noted an existing tree as a design constraint.
Indicated the pedestrian path could likely be widened by approximately one foot.
