Authorize the City Manager to enter into an Interlocal Agreement with Tarrant Appraisal District for Pictometry License. The Tarrant Appraisal District (TAD) has entered into a license agreement with Pictometry International Corporation for the use of its unique digital aerial photos of Tarrant County (including the City of Southlake) and software which enables the viewing, measurement, and overlaying of digital images. Under the licensing agreement with Pictometry, all the governmental entities that fund TAD can use the Pictometry products at no cost. The city currently uses orthogonal (straight down) aerial photos provided by the North Central Texas Council of Governments for site evaluation and analysis. These images only reveal the top of structures. The Pictometry digital aerials consist of orthogonal images like ordinary aerial photos; however, over 80% of Pictometry's images are oblique (taken from angles) so that features can be seen in their entirety. These images reveal the front, back and sides of objects. The software will also allow staff to measure the length, width and height of any feature in the image. The aerials and software program will be used by multiple departments including planning, public safety, public works and community services in site and building evaluation and analysis. The only expense to the city is an estimated cost of $300 for purchase of a small portable hard drive to receive the images and software from TAD. Contact Ken Baker with questions on this item. 5C.

Authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers for placement of a historical marker. The Southlake Historical Society has been working with the city and the State Historical Commission to recognize the Dove Community which existed in Southlake in the late 1800's. Dove Community consisted of farms, a school, general store with post office, cotton gin, blacksmith shop, and the Lonesome Dove Baptist Church and was instrumental in the early development of the area that eventually became part of Southlake. In order to formally recognize the Dove Community, the State Historical Commission requires approval from the property owner for the placement of the marker at the northeast corner of Dove and Lonesome Dove Road. Staff and the Southlake Historical Society have been communicating with the Corps of Engineers regarding placement of the historical marker and recently received a standard agreement for review and approval. The agreement provides for placement of the marker for an initial period of five years with a $235 licensing fee to be paid by the Historical Society. The city attorney has reviewed the document and recommended no changes. Contact Malcolm Jackson with questions on this item. 7A.

Current Zoninu: CS Community Service District. PUBLIC HEARING. St. John Baptist Church is requesting approval of a site plan for a 47,000 square foot church facility on 10.5 acres located at the southwest intersection of South Kimball Avenue and Crooked Lane.

The following variances are being requested • Driveway Spacing — The minimum spacing between driveways on South Kimball Avenue is 250 feet. The applicant is requesting a distance of approximately 200 feet. • Parking — The minimum number of parking spaces required for this site is 500 spaces. The applicant is requesting up to a 10% reduction in required parking to allow additional opportunities for tree preservation. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval (6 -1) subject to review (Springer cast the descending vote); • granting requested 10% variance in parking specifically so the applicant can evaluate the possibilities to use the variance in fewer parking spaces to save as many trees as possible; • accepting applicant's willingness to further evaluate the site plan between now and when they appear before Council to alter parking and save trees; • granting requested variance to articulation on the east and northern elevations that removing the dormers as shown on the site plan will create; • accepting the applicant's commitment to move the dumpster to a location not visible to any residences and removing it from the northwest corner; • and, granting the variance for driveway spacing The northern two - thirds of this property are heavily wooded.

The applicant has proposed and shown on this plan a voluntary bufferyard along the boundary of Crooked Lane (west side) and the northwest corner of the site to preserve the tree cover in this area. In addition, following the recommendation made by the Planning and Zoning Commission regarding alteration of the parking to save more trees on the north side, the applicant is proposing to move the detention pond shown in the southeast corner of the site to the "I -1" zoned lot to the south which is now owned by the church. This will allow some more parking to be relocated from the north portion of the property to the southern portion where there is less tree cover and will result in the preservation of some trees along the northern boundary. The applicant will provide a revised plan showing this proposal at the meeting. Contact Ken Baker or Dennis Killough with questions on this item 7F.

Authorize the Mayor to execute a Commercial Developer's Agreement for the construction of Parkwood Drive and the associated public utilities to serve French Square Office Complex. When the City acquired the property where the Senior Center is located, the City dedicated the right of way for Parkwood Drive from its terminus point, south of the Senior Center to FM 1709. In 2000, the City Council had several discussions regarding whether Parkwood Drive should be connected from FM 1709 or terminated off FM 1709 with a cul -de -sac. The council voted to direct staff to proceed with the plan to cul -de -sac Parkwood Drive off FM 1709 and not make the street a through street. Property was previously platted west of and adjacent to the Parkwood Drive right of way Recently, the owner of that property has had plans prepared for the construction of Parkwood Drive in order to be able to market the three lots platted on the west side of Parkwood Drive. This plan will not provide access from the new section of Parkwood Drive to the existing section of Parkwood Drive or the Senior Center parking lot. This developer's agreement covers the construction of the cul -de -sac street and water and sanitary sewer lines to serve the three lots west of Parkwood Drive.
