Re: Application for Volunteer Appointment to Zoning Board of Adjustment
Dear Ms. Farwell:
Two years ago, I submitted my first application for appointment to certain of the City's commissions and
boards. At that time, I had watched the rapid development of the City with awe, and there was no doubt
in my mind that Southlake was on the move! In the past two years, Southlake has continued its
development and again, just watching the activity is not enough for someone as enthralled as L 1 would
very much like to remain involved with the City by continuing my participation on the Zoning Board of
Adjustment and, if possible, other boards and commissions.
Attached you will find a copy of my resume submitted in support of my application for reappointment to
the Zoning Board of Adjustment. As my resume indicates, I am a skilled attorney with a heavy
background in business matters. Since leaving an active and very successful commercial bankruptcy
practice in one of the world's largest law firms two years ago, I have started two businesses. I am certain
that my experience and skills can be of use to the Zoning Board of Adjustment.
The current residential and commercial development within the City mandates that the Zoning Board of
Adjustments continues to issue informed and well- reasoned decisions regarding all manner of
improvements and issues related thereto. Though my legal experience targeted commercial bankruptcy
matters, many of the skills I have developed either directly intersect with the role of the Zoning Board of
Adjustment or serve as corollaries. For instance, I have been highly- trained to understand why businesses
do or do not succeed, why real estate endeavors thrive or fail and how to avoid pitfalls both known and
unknown. The continued successful residential and commercial. development of Southlake requires
analysis involving those skills.
If you have any questions or would like any additional information, please do not hesitate to call me at
(817)416 -9933.
Best regards,
4� / 4--4-
