Preliminary Plat for Wimbledon Estates (fka Preston Oaks)
PROJECT:
REQUEST: Preston Oaks L.P. is requesting approval of a preliminary plat proposing 17 single
family residential lots on approximately 19.87 acres. The “SF-1A” zoning was placed
on the property with the approval of Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance No. 480 on
September 19, 1989.
The previous preliminary plat presented showed a single point of access from Sunshine
Lane with a cul-de-sac length in excess of 1,000. The cul-de-sac length proposed was
approximately 1,354 feet. The applicant has revised the preliminary plat and is now
proposing two separate cul-de-sacs, both being less than 1,000 feet in length. The cul-
de-sac (Andre Court) intersecting with E. Highland Street measures approximately 431
feet in length. The cul-de-sac (Grass Court) intersecting with Sunshine Lane measures
approximately 975 feet in length. No variances are being requested with this
Preliminary Plat.
The following information was requested by City Council at the previous meeting:

PATHWAYS MASTER
PLAN: The Master Pathways Plan does not make any trail or sidewalk
recommendations adjacent to the development.
WATER & SEWER: An 8-inch water line exists along the east side of the Sunshine Lane. An 8-inch
sanitary sewer line exists north of the proposed subdivision on the west side of
Sunshine Lane. The applicant will be extending an 8-inch sanitary sewer line to
connect into the existing line north.
TREE PRESERVATION: The color Tree Summary Plan shows trees to remain in green, trees to be
removed for the right-of-way, utility lines, and detention pond in red, and trees
on the house pad as yellow. Except for the most northerly portion of the
property, the whole property is heavily wooded. The dominant species of trees
are Post Oaks, with some Black Jack Oaks and Cedar Elm. The North portion
of the property was used for containing and grazing livestock but the middle
and south portion of the property is smaller native trees and heavy brush. The
proposed right-of-way entering the subdivision off of East Highland Street will
remove approximately 20 trees within the first 175’ of the right-of-way, ranging
from 6” to 19” diameter. The average diameter of the 20 trees is 12”.
Consolidated Land Use Plan Recommendations
SOUTHLAKE 2025:
The underlying land use designation is Low Density Residential with an
optional Rural Conservation designation.
Environmental Resource Protection Recommendations
Although this site does not have any areas designated as “Tree Cover/Open
Space to be Preserved” on the ERP map, the existing trees should be preserved
to the maximum extent feasible.
Mobility & Master Thoroughfare Plan Recommendations
Sidewalks along Grass Court & Andre Court are encouraged. Although not
required by ordinance, consider providing pedestrian access between the cul-de-
sacs to connect between E. Highland St and Sunshine Lane.

CITY STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PROJECT RECEIVED BY THE CITY ON 01/23/07 AND WE
OFFER THE FOLLOWING STIPULATIONS. THESE STIPULATIONS ARE HEREBY MADE CONDITIONS OF PLAT
APPROVAL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY AMENDED BY THE CITY COUNCIL. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR NEED
FURTHER CLARIFICATION, PLEASE CONTACT BEN BRYNER AT (817) 748-8602.
1)Provide easements for water, sewer and/or drainage in compliance with approved construction plans.
INFORMATIONAL COMMENTS
* A fully corrected plan that includes all associated support plans/documents and conditions of
approval is required before any ordinance or zoning verification letter publication or before
acceptance of any other associated plans for review. Plans and documents must be reviewed
and stamped “approved” by the Planning Department.
* All development must comply with the City’s Drainage Ordinance No. 605 and detain all post
development run-off.
* Although there are a few lot lines which are not perpendicular or radial, they appear to meet the intent of this
requirement.
* It appears that a portion of this property lies within the 65 LDN D/FW Regional Airport Overlay Zone,
requiring construction standards in compliance with the Airport Compatible Land Use Zoning Ordinance No.
479. Additionally, the “Avigation Easement and Release” shown in Appendix 3 of the Subdivision
Ordinance No. 483 should be executed on subsequent Plats to be filed in the County Plat Records.
* We recommend this plat not be filed until the construction plans have been substantially approved. This will
ensure adequate easements and finish floor elevations. Minimum finish floor elevations may be required on
lots pending review of construction plans.
* A Developer’s Agreement is required prior to construction of any public infrastructure. The Developer’s
Agreement for this addition should consider streets, drainage, park dedication requirements and fees, off-site
sewer extensions, off-site drainage and utility easements and impact fees.

===========================================================================
The following comments are based on the review of plans received on January 23, 2007 . Comments
designated with a number may be incorporated into the formal review to be considered by either the
Planning and Zoning Commission or City Council. Other items will not be addressed by either the P&Z
or City Council. It is the applicant’s responsibility to contact the department representative shown above
and make modifications as required by the comment.
===========================================================================
TREE CONSERVATION COMMENTS:
1. A Tree Survey and a Tree Conservation Plan was submitted with the Preliminary Plat submittal.
Because the middle and south portion of the site is so densely forested the Tree Survey and Tree
Conservation Plan must be used in conjunction to identify individual trees. If all the information were
placed on one plan the plan would not be legible. Prior to the issuance of a building permit for each
home a Tree Conservation Plan meeting the requirements of the Tree Preservation Ordinance and the
approved developmental Tree Conservation plan will be required to be submitted.
2. Except for the most northerly portion of the property, the whole property is heavily wooded. The
dominant species of trees are Post Oaks, with some Black Jack Oaks and Cedar Elm. The North
portion of the property was used for containing and grazing livestock but the middle and south portion
of the property is smaller native trees and heavy brush. The proposed right-of-way entering the
subdivision off of East Highland Street will remove approximately 20 trees within the first 175’ of the
right-of-way, ranging from 6” to 19” diameter. The average diameter of the 20 trees is 12”.
3. It is recommended that boring be utilized when installing utilities in easements out of the street right-of-
ways and off-site.
