Kimball Avenue. LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Tract 5, Green Meadow Subdivision LAND USE CATEGORY: Industrial CURRENT ZONING: "CS" Community Service HISTORY: -A final plat was approved by the City Council on December 3, 1974. -The "I -1" zoning was placed on the property with the approval of Zoning Ordinance No. 480 on September 19, 1989. -A change of zoning and associated concept plan from "I -1" to "CS" was approved by City Council on April 16, 2002. TRANSPORTATION ASSESSMENT: Case No. ZA05 -016 Master Thorouzhfare Plan The Master Thoroughfare Plan recommends South Kimball Avenue to be a 4 -lane, divided arterial street with 94' of right -of -way. Adequate right -of- way exists for this roadway. E.zistinm Area Road Network and Conditions The proposed site will have three (3) accesses directly onto S. Kimball Avenue. No drives are being proposed onto Crooked Lane. South Kimball Avenue recently was expanded and is a 4 -lane, divided arterial street. Crooked Lane exists primarily as a north/south 2 -lane, undivided local street. There are no plans for expansion of this road. May, 2004 traffic counts on Crooked Lane (between S. Kimball Ave and Continental Blvd): Table #1 24hr South Bound (SB) (1,806 North Bound NB 1,750) SB Peak A.M. 227 8 — 9 a.m. Peak P.M. 197 3 — 4 p.m. NB Peak A.M. 223 8 — 9 a.m. Peak P.M. 190 3 — 4 p.m. Attachment A Page 1 Traffic Ini»ttct PATHWAYS MASTER PLAN Use Sq.

Kimball Avenue. A minimum 6' off - street trail is required along the west side of S. Kimball Avenue. An on- street bikeway is also planned on S. Kimball Avenue. The site plan shows the required trail. TREE PRESERVATION: The proposed plans that were submitted do indicate the applicant's willingness to preserve trees within the area of the 30' Voluntary Bufferyard adjacent to Crooked Lane, within the northwest and southwest corners of the development and possibly some sections in the interior of the development depending on the extent of site grading. Although the current submitted Tree Survey is slightly off from east to west, the new tree survey should place the trees that are shown within the right -of -way of Crooked Lane within the 30' Voluntary Bufferyard adjacent to Crooked Lane. The central portion of the property is located on a hill which will more than likely be cut down and made level for the building and parking areas. WATER & SEWER: A 12 -inch water line exists along the east side of S. Kimball Avenue. A 6- inch and 8 -inch water line exists along the west side of Crooked Lane. The applicant proposes to loop the water from the water line in S. Kimball Avenue to the water line in Crooked Lane. An 8 -inch sanitary sewer line exists along the west side of S. Kimball Avenue. DRAINAGE ANALYSIS: This site drains to S. Kimball Avenue. The storm sewer system in S. Kimball Avenue is designed for the pre - development runoff. A detention pond is proposed to handle the post - development runoff from this site. P &Z ACTION: May 5, 2005; Approved (6 -1) subject to Site Plan Review Summary No. 3, dated April 29, 2005; • 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; • and along that line, accepting his willingness to further evaluate the site plan between now and when they appear before Council to alter parking and save trees • also granting requested variance to articulation on the east and northern elevations that removing the dormers as shown on the site plan will create; Case No. Attachment A ZA05 -016 Page 2 • 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.

Variance Request We are requesting a variance of 10 percent reduction in the required number of parking spaces. This 10 percent reduction would allow for a non required and owner initiated 30' wide landscape buffer yard along the Crooked Lane increasing the separation between this project and the adjacent single family residential development The variance allowing for this 30' buffer yard may allow for some of the existing large trees along Crooked Lane to remain. It is our opinion that the benefits of separation, landscape, and visual screening of the adjacent property owners and the city of Southlake substantiate a reasonable request for approval of our request. Thank y your time and consideration.

Variance Request We are requesting a variance of Driveway Ordinance No. 634 to add a third driveway (Driveway #2) to reduce on -site and off -site vehicular congestion during peak ingresslegress periods common to worship center occupancies. The addition of the third driveway would reduce the centerline to centerline driveway spacing to 200' in lieu of the 250' requirement. However, the centerline distance from Driveway #2 to Driveway 91 is 460' and drive centerline distance from Driveway #1 to Driveway #3 is 660'. It is our opinion the ingress/egress benefits by allowing three driveways serving the same facility in a 660' distance with the minimum centerline distance of 200' would substantiate a reasonable request for approval of our request.

Ron Mabry RMlsg M Last i ergu,nn 903.593.426t RECD MAR 2 8 2005 ZA 16 a Case No. Attachment C ZA05 -016 Page 7 STATEMENT OF PURPOSE The church in Southlake TX will serve as a multiuse, center that will serve both the spiritual and physical needs of our congregants and our community. The total facility will be approximately 47,000 square feet and is intended to help enable the members, guests and surrounding communities to complete tasks and assignments that will enable the support of those in need around Southlake and outlining areas. Our church will be planned and built around the word of God. We will have a sanctuary that will be dedicated as a praise and worship facility. Additionally, we will utilize this edifice to service our members needs in a variety of ways, including baptismal services, baby dedications, weddings, funerals and other programs as needed. The remainder of the facility will be used for education, ministry work, physical fitness and community work. Over 15,000 square feet of classrooms will be available for these purposes. This will allow for the training in the areas of religion, spiritual development, life skills, physical, emotional support and other special areas of interest. We will also be able to host conferences that further the cause of the church and community as well as special events that promote the ideas of helping mankind in a variety of ways. This facility is being designed with the community in mind, Deacon Rodney H.

I used to be on the Stone Lakes Homeowners Associationa and was quite involved with the newsletter and social aspect of that neighborhood. We now live in the Cambridge Place subdivision off of Kimball and Crooked Lane because we wanted a bigger lot for a pool for the kids, and we have been here for almost 2 years. St John the Baptist Church is wanting to start construction on their church this summer and I went to the SPIN meeting a couple of weeks ago and met the architect and the pastor. They are very nice people but I do have concerns about the trees between the Church and our subdivision, across Crooked Lane. The Church proposes a 30 foot buffer between construction/parking lot and Crooked Lane, but I believe they will only keep the buffer if parking variance for 500 spaces is reduced by about 10 -I5 pct. My concern is that they need 500 parking spaces, and our neighborhood and surrounding neighborhoods who use Crooked Lane would like the Church to be granted a variance to save the boundary trees on Crooked Lane. Also, I know developers put orange plastic fencing around a tree trunk to make it appear they are trying to save a tree. I know developers put orange plastic fencing around the drip line to make it look like they are trying to save trees. Then.....top soil is spread under the trees, and a trencher comes in to trench for a sprinkler system. Months later, and even a couple years later the trees die. The root zone is extremely vulnerable and must be protected and listed below are my concerns. 1. The natural soil under /near these trees must be undisturbed from the beginning of construction until the end of construction. 2. Grading can not be done near these trees. This lot has hundreds of trees...(actually the whole property is TREES). 3. Some of the boundary and internal oaks have been growing for well over 100 -150 years, and they are used to dry seasons and wet seasons, and even putting a sprinkler system near them that would water 3 times a week can kill these trees. 4. Retaining walls can not be put near them, because they hold water that can eventually drown the trees. Supposedly the chuck will be a lower than Crooked Lane. 5. Laying grass sod on top of the trees in many cases add additional weight that can crush and compact the roots. 6. Trenching for a sprinkler system within the drip line, can certainly give the tree a death sentence. Once the construction is done, grass will naturally grow under the trees with all the sunlight that will be on the area. Sod does not need to be placed there. 7. Construction vehicles, pick up trucks and heavy vehicles can compact and crush the roots of the trees and kill them. 8. Disposing of chemicals and paints near the trees can kill the trees. Actually, I think the Church would be more beautiful with a back drop of trees, as well as saving trees in the front of their property along Kimball. I truly believe our property values would go down if those trees are lost due to construction or failure to properly protect them during the construction of the Church. Right now, we have a tree covered, shady drive from Kimball and Continental to the main entrance to Cambridge Place, and it makes our entrance and the homes near the entrance so beautiful and welcoming. I would also Iike to try to save several huge oaks on the corner of Kimball and Crooked Lane saved. I realize the developement of the land is near, and I would like to go on the property with the Landscape administrator and developer to discuss some of our options. I will attend the Planning meeting at City Hall on Thursday, May 5th. I have never written a letter or voiced my opinion on issues such as these and I just want to be sure of the proper way of bringing this up. Thank you for your time. With kindest regards and respect, Cathy and Steve Mohr 713 Manchester Court Southlake Texas Case No. ZA 05 -016 Attachment F Page 2
