TRANSPORTATION
Master Thoroughfare Plan
ASSESSMENT:
The Master Thoroughfare Plan recommends Southlake Boulevard to have 130’
of right-of-way. Adequate right-of-way exists for this road.
Existing Area Road Network and Conditions
The proposed development has one (1) access directly onto E. Southlake
Boulevard (F.M. 1709). The plan shows common access drives to both the
West and the East giving the site access to S. White Chapel Boulevard and
Parkwood Drive.
E. Southlake Boulevard is a 5-lane, undivided thoroughfare with a continuous,
two-way, center left-turn lane. The roadway will ultimately be widened to a 7-
lane roadway this summer.

PATHWAYS MASTER
PLAN: According to the Master Pathways Plan, an 8’ multi-use trail is programmed
along the south side of E. Southlake Blvd. The trail has been constructed and
currently exists.
WATER & SEWER: Water and sewer were installed within the Chapel Hill Office Park project with
development of Lots 1 through 4.
TREE PRESERVATION: The applicant is proposing to preserve the existing 40” Post Oak by
constructing a retention wall planter around half the area of the canopy and
critical root zone area of the tree. The actual width of the entire canopy of the
tree and critical root zone area exceeds 45’ so the proposed retention wall
planter and proposed access drive would be within the critical root zone area of
the tree.
DRAINAGE ANALYSIS: This site drains to the north to an existing detention pond constructed for this
development.

representative shown above and make modifications as required by the comment
===========================================================================
Are the bufferyards correctly shown and labeled?
* The proposed Site Plan does not show required bufferyards provided along the interior lot lines.
Does the plan meet the interior landscape requirements?
* Yes.
Does the plan meet the parking lot landscaping requirements?
* Yes.
Are the parking/bufferyard/landscaping summary charts correct?
1. Please provide the required bufferyards information for the lot being proposed for development,
not the entire previously proposed development.
2. Although the required interior landscape area is not provided the required plant material calculations
are correct. Please provide the proposed “Provided” plant material calculations within the Interior
Landscape Summary Chart.
3. The applicant is requesting that credit for ground cover and seasonal color be given for planting shrubs
and trees over the required amount required by the Landscape Ordinance. For Lot 5, the applicant is
proposing to provide an excess of one (1) accent tree and eighteen (18) shrubs over what is required by
the Landscape Ordinance regulations.
Is a tree survey required?
* A tree survey of the property was provided with the Site Plan submittal. There is only one Post Oak
existing on Lot 5, which the applicant is proposing to preserve, and there are approximately three (3)
large Eastern Red Cedars along the east property line which are not shown or identified.

TREE PRESERVATION COMMENTS:
1. The applicant is proposing to preserve the existing 40” Post Oak by constructing a retention wall
planter around half the area of the canopy and critical root zone area of the tree. The actual width of
the entire canopy of the tree and critical root zone area exceeds 45’ so the proposed retention wall
planter and proposed access drive would be within the critical root zone area of the tree.
Non-residential Development:
* In a non-residential development, all protected trees that the
Landscape Administrator determines must be altered in order to install utility lines within public
R.O.W. or public utility or drainage easements as shown on an approved Final Plat, or to install fire
lanes, required parking areas and building pad sites as shown on an approved Site Plan, shall be
exempt from the tree protection and tree replacement requirements listed in Sections 7 and 8 of the
Tree Preservation Ordinance. Any protected trees within these areas that the Landscape
Administrator determines do not have to be altered shall be subject to the tree protection
requirements listed in Section 8 of the Tree Preservation Ordinance, but not to the tree replacement
requirements listed in Section 7 of the Tree Preservation Ordinance. All other areas of the
development shall be subject to both the tree replacement and the tree protection requirements, and
all other provisions of the Tree Preservation Ordinance.
