BACKGROUND INFORMATION
OWNERS: Mike and Eva Sandlin
APPLICANT: Hat Creek Development
PROPERTY SITUATION: 400 W. Chapel Downs Drive
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot 1, Block 1, Sandlin Estates
LAND USE CATEGORY: Medium Density Residential
CURRENT ZONING: "AG" Agricultural District
REQUESTED ZONING: "SF -20X" Single Family Residential District
HISTORY: -City Council approved a preliminary plat for Sandlin Estates on December 17,
1992.
-A final plat was approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission on December
27, 1992.
TRANSPORTATION
ASSESSMENT: Master Thoroughfare Plan
The Master Thoroughfare Plan recommends South Kimball Avenue to be a 2-
lane, undivided collector street with 64' of right -of -way. Adequate right -of-
way is being dedicated for this roadway.
Existing Area Road Network and Conditions
The proposed subdivision will connect into the existing Chapel Downs Drive in
the Oak Hill Subdivision. Chapel Downs Drive intersects with N. White Chapel
Boulevard. The subdivision is also proposing a 20' private access and
emergency access easement that will provide access to Shady Oaks Drive.
Both N. White Chapel Boulevard and Shady Oaks Drive are two -lane,
undivided thoroughfares. The capacity of the existing roadway for N. White
Chapel Boulevard is approximately 8,400 vehicle trips per day. Under this
condition, the roadway would be considered to operate under a level of service
`D'. Completion of this development will add approximately 201 vehicle trips
per day, bringing it to 9,510 vehicle trips per day.

The Southlake Pathways Master Plan recommends an 8 -foot paved multi -use
trail along the east side of Shady Oaks Drive adjacent to this development. The
applicant has provided a pedestrian access plan showing the trail.
WATER & SEWER: The proposed 8" sanitary sewer will be extended from the south (through
Southlake Estates) to serve this site. An 8" water line will be extended through
this site from Chapel Downs Drive.
TREE PRESERVATION: The location of Court B' does not necessarily preserve a majority of the
existing trees on the site. It cuts directly trough the middle of a thick grove of
healthy Post Oaks currently located in front of the existing house. It might be
possible to locate the right -of -way of Court B' within the existing access drive
that runs through Lots 20 and 21 and make the remaining portion of Lots 20
and 21 adjacent to the backs of the homes in Chapel Downs a Landscape
Easement.
DRAINAGE ANALYSIS: This site has two existing ponds on it. The entire site drains south through
Southlake Estates and to the existing pond in Bicentennial Park. A detention
pond is proposed to capture the proposed post development runoff. An offsite
drainage easement will be necessary for the proposed storm sewer outfall from
the detention pond.
SOUTHLAKE 2025: City Council approved the recommendations made by the Southlake 2025
committee for the Westside study area to include the following changes:
Case No. Attachment A
ZA 05 -049 Page 2
Mobility Plan Recommendations
• Maximize pedestrian connectivity from schools to adjoining neighborhoods.
Environmental Resource Protection Recommendations
• Preserve existing tree buffers adjacent to neighborhoods. Trees on the east
of the site are identified as "Tree cover /open space to be preserved where
appropriate ".
P &Z ACTION: June 23, 2005; Approved (5 -0) subject to Plat Review Summary No. 2, dated
June 17, 2005, and requiring that the plat meet all the requirements of the
zoning and concept plan.

RE: Case No. ZA05 -048 and Case No. ZA05 -049
Dear Commission Members:
I am Harold Annis and my wife Angela Annis and I live and own the residence at 490
Love Henry Court, (lot 2 of Southlake Estates) Southlake, TX. We have lived in this
residence since 1989.
I would like to comment on the zoning change and concept plan for Sandlin Manor.
Acceptability of Plan:
In general I will support the approval of the plan submitted by Mr. Sandlin. It appears to
be a well - planned development and I am sure that Mike will assure the quality of the
homes will be top notch.
Drainage:
The effects of poor planning on drainage have affected Southlake Estates from the very
day it was built. In recent years street regrading, new pavement and the installation of a
major drainpipe beginning at the Southwest corner of lot 2 and continuing south through
Bicentennial Park improved the drainage significantly. One problem that continues to
plague Southlake Estates during periods of heavy rain is drainage from the Sandlin
property that has flooded across the properties of lots 2, 3 and 4 of Southlake Estates.
The addition of significant paving and building structures will undoubtedly exacerbate the
drainage situation; therefore, the solution must be well engineered and placed correctly.
The utility easement to the South follows the property line between Lots 2 and 3 of
R'M J U N 1 2005
Case No. Attachment F
ZA 05 -049 Page 2
Southlake Estates. Along this easement are a number of eastern red cedar trees. If a
drainage pipe is buried in this easement the excavation will undoubtedly put these trees at
great risk. The eastern red cedar's root structure typically will extend beyond the trunk by
2 to 3 times the diameter of the tree canopy. A continuous excavation immediately beside
the tree line on either side will most likely kill these trees. I would point to the
excavations that have occurred along Shady Oaks and the subsequent demise of numerous
heritage oaks. The cedars root extend out further than oaks and the trees are much more
sensitive to trimming and root disturbance. I request that a condition be placed in your
approval that the solution be submitted to a professional arborist and landscape planner
before excavation is begun. An alternate solution will be to gain approval from the owner
of lot 3 to set the drain line from the trunk of the largest tree and at least twice the
diameter of the largest tree canopy. In addition the excavation must occur during the fall
or winter months.
Fence:
The existing fence along the Southern edge of the proposed addition is not located on the
property line. This fence has been in place for at least 16 years and probably 20 plus
years. Each Southlake Estates property owner along this boundary line has maintained
and improved this fence line and has treated it as their own for the last two decades. I
request that a condition be placed on your approval that the fence line dividing Sandlin
Manor and Southlake Estates remain as it is today and has been for the previous 16 plus
years.
Wild Flowers:
For the past 16 years I have cultivated wild flowers on the back 1/3 of my property (lot 2).
The necessary growth of grass and other growth during the spring months may offend
some folks that live in a $1 /2 million plus home with a well - manicured lawn. I request that
a condition be placed on your approval of Sandlin Manor that the standards of lawn care
established in Sandlin Manor cannot be expected to be imposed upon any property in
Southlake Estates.
Sincerely,
Harold E. Annis

Comments: Honorable Members of City Council, I wish to give early notice that an upcoming resolution
with respect to the development of Sandlin Manor shall be met with expressed concerns. The concerns
are not related to the development plans of Sandlin Manor. Rather they are related to an undesired
stipulation for a thoroughfare through Oak Hill estates. City Staff did not ask for it, the developer of
Sandin Manor did not ask for it, and our neighborhood did not ask for it. Instead it was proposed by a
P &Z member who had misunderstood the wishes of our neighborhood. We want less traffic, not more
traffic through our neighborhood. We have met with Mr. Kosse Maykus, the developer of Sandlin
Manor, as a neighborhood group and have come to agreement with him on how we want to see the
development of Sandlin Manor and how to mitigate the likely increase in traffic. We would prefer
Chapel Downs to be completely closed off, but were informed that the developer could not acquire the
property surrounding the existing access road from Shady Oaks to widen the road signficantly to handle
day -to -day traffic. We were also informed by the developer that DPS requested a secondary access to
Oak Hill and Sandlin Manor via Shady Oaks. From these findings, we specifically asked Mr. Maykus to
limit access to Shady Oaks by using a keyed mechanism for entry AND for exit. We concluded that this
would allow residents to enter and exit via Shady Oaks, thereby reducing resident traffic from White
Chapel, and at the same time keep non- resident traffic out of our neighborhood. Because our meeting
with Mr. Maykus was fruitful, we are fully supportive of his intended plans and felt no need to attend
the last P &Z meeting. That is why there was an absence of any opposition at the last P &Z meeting.
Since we were not there, we were not able to clarify to P &Z that a thoroughfare is NOT something we
want. Let me now snake our desire and intentions clear. We do not want a thoroughfare through Oak Hill
Estates. Not now, and not anytime in the future. As you consider the Sandlin Manor development plans
in the upcoming City Council meeting (on or about July 19), we ask that you exclude the P&Z
stipulation for a thoroughfare through Oak Hill Estates. Please contact me immediately if there are any
questions or concerns. respectfully, Van Williams President, Oak Hill Estates of Southlake HOA Inc.
