Residential Planned Unit Development District. The plan proposes 54 single-family
residential detached lots and 6 open space lots on approximately 30 acres.
The applicant proposes that South Village at Watermere follow the permitted uses and
development regulations of the "SF-20A" Single Family Residential zoning district with
the following exceptions:
Minimum Lot Size: 9,800 square feet
Minimum Lot Width: 70 feet at the front building line
Minimum Lot Depth: 130 feet
Minimum Floor Area: 2,500 square feet
Minimum Front Yard: 25 feet
Minimum Side Yard: 7 feet; 15 feet for corner lot adjacent to street
Minimum Rear Yard: 25 feet for exterior lots; 20 feet for interior lots
Maximum Lot Coverage: A variance from the 30% maximum lot coverage
"R-PUD" requirement to allow a 60% maximum
lot coverage is being requested
Minimum Garage Setback: 25 feet forward facing; 20 feet swing

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
OWNER/APPLICANT: Keller Watermere, L.P. & Southlake Watermark Holdings, L.P.
PROPERTY SITUATION: 2271 Union Church Rd, 2451 Union Church Rd.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Tract 4C & 6A2 and a portion of Tracts 4D & 6A, J.G. Allen Survey, Abstract
No. 18
LAND USE CATEGORY: Medium Density Residential
CURRENT ZONING: “AG” Agricultural District & “S-P-2” Generalized Site Plan District
REQUESTED ZONING: “R-PUD” Residential Planned Unit Development District
HISTORY: No development history exists on this site. The site was previously owned by
Keller I.S.D. and was planned for a school site.
TRANSPORTATION
Master Thoroughfare Plan
ASSESSMENT:
The Master Thoroughfare Plan recommends Union Church Road to be a 2-lane,
undivided collector roadway with 84 feet of right-of-way and Watermere Drive
to be a 2-lane, undivided collector roadway with 60 feet of right-of-way.
Adequate right-of-way is shown to be dedicated for these roadways.
Proposed Area Road Network and Conditions
The proposed overall development will extend Watermere Drive to the south
which will intersect Union Church Road across from Arcadia Drive in Keller.
The development will have three (3) access drives (private streets) directly onto
both sides of Watermere Drive, one (1) on the east side and two (2) on the west
side.
Existing Area Road Network and Conditions
Union Church Road is a 2-lane, undivided thoroughfare. The roadway is shared
between the Cities of Southlake and Keller and was re-furbished a few years
ago. No plans are being made for future improvement at this time.
May, 2006 traffic counts on Union Church (between FM 1938 (Davis
Blvd) & Pearson Lane): Table #1

*Vehicle Trips Per Day
*The AM/PM times represent the number of vehicle trips generated during the peak travel times
on Union Church Road.
Union Church, between FM 1938 (Davis Blvd) and Pearson Lane, carries
approximately 3,557 vehicles with the peak traffic times occurring between 7
a.m. and 8 a.m. in the morning and between 5 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. in the
th
afternoon. According to Trip Generation, 6 Edition, the site will generate
approximately 11 vehicle trips during the A.M. rush hour and approximately 12
vehicle trips during the P.M. rush hour.
PATHWAYS MASTER
PLAN: The Pathways Master Plan recommends a 6-foot sidewalk along the north side
of Union Church Road and an 8-foot multi-use trail along the east side of
Watermere Drive. The sidewalk and trail are both shown on the proposed plan.
WATER & SEWER: The site will connect water services to an existing 12” water line along the west
side of Watermere Drive to the north. A 10” sanitary sewer line exists along
the eastern boundary of the proposed development.
DRAINAGE ANALYSIS: The drainage from this site will drain to the proposed retention/detention pond
which will ultimately discharge into the existing storm drainage system on the
south side Union Church Road.
TREE PRESERVATION: The submitted Tree Conservation Plans shows almost all of the existing trees
within the proposed development to be removed. The most quality trees are
within the right-of-way of Watermere Drive, close to the intersection of
Watermere Drive and Union Church Road. Unless Watermere Drive were
shifted to east or the west before it intersects Union Church Road, and area
where the trees are was designated parkland or common area, the trees would
be removed for the construction of the Watermere Drive right-of-way.
The existing trees along Union Church Road are shown to be removed on the
Tree Conservation Plan. Except for any pecan trees that may be existing, these
trees are made up of not very desirable species and to repair the existing
drainage along that section of the right-of-way would cause for a large portion
of the trees to be removed.
The submitted landscape design proposes more trees to be planted than
currently exist on the site. Street tree plantings as well as extensive tree planting

and landscaping are proposaed across the site and along Union Church Road
Consolidated Land Use Plan Recommendations
SOUTHLAKE 2025:
The underlying designation is Public/Semi-Public and Medium Density
Residential. The proposed development is not consistent with the Public/Semi-
Public designation. This property does not have an optional land use
designation. A Comprehensive Plan Amendment application has been
submitted to change the underlying land use designation to Medium Density
Residential.
Environmental Resource Protection Recommendations
The Environmental Resource Protection (ERP) Plan identifies the northeast
corner and eastern boundary of the site as priority areas for preservation, where
appropriate:
The plan shows that the existing pond will be enlarged and will serve as a focal
point of the development. Although all of the trees in the ERP preservation
area will be removed, these trees are predominantly mesquite and hackberry
trees that will be replaced with trees such as oaks and elms.
Mobility & Master Thoroughfare Plan/Southlake Pathways Plan
Recommendations
The Mobility and Master Thoroughfare Plan recommends that a north-south 2-
lane, undivided collector roadway with 60 feet of right-of-way be constructed
from Union Church Road to West Southlake Boulevard. The applicant is

Mobility and Master Thoroughfare Plan.
A 6 foot sidewalk is required along Union Church per the Southlake Pathways
Plan. This sidewalk is shown on the concept/development plan.
Sidewalks (5 foot minimum) are required along both sides of all public and
private streets. Sidewalks are not shown on the north and west side of Private
Street C. In addition, the sidewalk on the east side of Private Street C is not
shown to connect to the S-P-2 portion of the development to the north.

TREE CONSERVATION COMMENTS:
1. The submitted Tree Conservation Plans shows almost all of the existing trees within the proposed
development to be removed. The most quality trees are within the right-of-way of Watermere Drive,
close to the intersection of Watermere Drive and Union Church Road. Unless Watermere Drive were
shifted to east or the west before it intersects Union Church Road, and area where the trees are was
designated parkland or common area, the trees would be removed for the construction of the
Watermere Drive right-of-way.
The existing trees along Union Church Road are shown to be removed on the Tree Conservation Plan.
Except for any pecan trees that may be existing, these trees are made up of not very desirable species
and to repair the existing drainage along that section of the right-of-way would cause for a large
portion of the trees to be removed.

QUESTIONS & DISCUSSION
Land Use & Development Design Questions
What will the backyard setbacks be? Will pools be allowed?
QUESTION:
Will these homes be two-stories? What will their minimum size be? What will be their starting
QUESTIONS:
price?
RESPONSE: Because the target audience of these homes is individuals between the ages of 55 and upper-60’s,
there should not be a high demand for two-story homes. They are geared more toward 1½ story
with three-car garages. Houses will range between 3500 to 4000 square feet, with a 5000 square
foot maximum and prices will likely start around $700,000.
What is the timeline, or phasing, of construction? Will the wall be put up first?
QUESTION:
RESPONSE: Dirtwork will come first, followed by the installation of the drainage system, then the wall will be
installed.

SPIN MEETING REPORT – PAGE 2
Can you work with the developer of the office park development to the north to create some
QUESTION:
consistency between your two screening walls along Chesapeake Place?
Who will be responsible for the maintenance of the screening walls between Chesapeake Place
QUESTION:
and Watermere?
RESPONSE: The HOA of the South Village at Southlake will be responsible for its maintenance given normal
wear and tear conditions.
What is the setback of the wall along Union Church Road?
QUESTION:
RESPONSE: The screening wall along Union Church Road will be close to the same setback as Chesapeake
Place’s wall.
Are the parks going to be dedicated as public parks?
QUESTION:
RESPONSE: They will not be dedicated as public parks because Watermere would like the discretion to control
easement
its use and maintenance. However, there will be a public dedicated on the park on the
west side of Watermere Drive that will allow for public use.
Traffic & Roadway Related Questions
Where does Watermere Drive go? Will they have speedbumps?
QUESTION:
RESPONSE: Watermere Drive runs from W. Southlake Blvd through the Watermere property to Union Church
Road and will be a public road. There cannot be any speed bumps, per City regulations, but
Watermere will try to make use of stop signs and lower speed limits.
Are there any plans for a light for your development at W. Southlake Blvd?
QUESTION:
RESPONSE: There are no plans for a traffic signal at W. Southlake Blvd and Watermere Drive at this time and
because of the spacing between signals it would be difficult to have one there.
Who will be responsible for maintaining the streets?
QUESTION:
RESPONSE: As Watermere Drive will be a public street, the City will be responsible for its maintenance. All
other streets within the Watermere development are private and are to be maintained by the HOAs.
How wide are the private streets? Is it a gated community?
QUESTION:
RESPONSE: The private streets in South Village at Watermere are 27-feet from back of curb to back of curb.
There are some areas near the fourplexes that have parallel parking spaces that add another 8-feet
of width.
Drainage & Engineering Questions
Will there be any elevation changes to the property due to the efforts to resolve drainage? How
QUESTION:
would that effect fence heights?
Where does the City of Southlake storm drain to the southwest go?

RESPONSE: There have been about 68 deposits made and 17 real sales without product in the first phase of
Watermere. Once it is more developed and folks can see the product, we expect to see a surge.
When will you have the first model open?
QUESTION:
RESPONSE: November 2007
SUMMARY
The meeting’s attendants were generally receptive to the plan as well as the developer’s willingness to continue working
with adjacent property owners on fencing and drainage issues, which seem to be the two major concerns with this
development.
