CURRENT ZONING: C-2 Local Retail Commercial District
HISTORY: The property was zoned “C-2” Local Retail Commercial District when the city
adopted Zoning Ordinance No. 480.
A preliminary plat for the entire Stratfort Gardens (aka The Gardens at Stratfort

property which may serve this development. There is an existing 12-inch
diameter water line located north of the property along the south side of FM
1709 which can serve this development.
DRAINAGE ANALYSIS: Drainage from this site is generally to the west to the existing channel between
the Lake Crest subdivision and the Gardens of Stratfort Parc subdivision.
TREE PRESERVATION: There are five (5) existing trees naturally growing on the site and they are
proposed to be removed. All of the trees are in poor shape and have grown up
through and between the trash and structure on the lot. The other existing
trees were planted during the development and construction of the Gardens of
Stratfort Park subdivision and will be preserved.

The following comments are based on the review of plans received on 4/9/08 It is the applicant’s
responsibility to contact the department representative shown above and make modifications as required by the comment.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
* Steps may be required to connect the proposed sidewalks into the existing sidewalk along FM 1709
due to the change in grade.
* Provide all necessary easements for water, sanitary sewer and drainage. Easements shall be 15’
minimum and located on one lot – not centered on the property line.
* Use the City of Southlake GPS monuments whenever possible.
WATER AND SANITARY SEWER COMMENTS:
* There are existing 8-inch and 10-inch diameter sewer lines located west of the property which may
serve this development.

FM 1709 which can serve this development.
DRAINAGE COMMENTS:
1.The note on the drainage plan indicates that no detention is required, per the ‘Preliminary Drainage
Plan.’ ‘Preliminary’ drainage plans are not typically detailed enough to sufficiently determine the

development. A minimum 15’ easement will be required.

subdivision and the Gardens of Stratfort Parc subdivision.

meet the provisions of Ordinance # 605.
