Recall that the Southlake Historical Society (SHS) approached the City requesting placement in a city park of an 1860's- era log cabin originally Iocated in the John A. Freeman survey in Southlake. Once constructed, the cabin will be approximately 12' x 15' and include proposed site amenities such as walkways, landscaping, signage, and lighting. Per previous direction from City Council, staff and SHS reviewed several locations within the parks system for potential placement and recommended two site options: 1) Noble Oaks Park; and 2) Summit Park in Town Square. The review measured advantages and challenges associated with each site, as well as shared items for consideration to include visual appeal, security, fit with surrounding parkland uses, and proximity to high traffic locations and original cabin site. Both parks are listed within the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan as being well -suited for reconstruction and display of Southlake historical structures. Staff will provide the Council with a presentation on this item and a representative of SHS will also be available to address any question you might have. Contact Steve Polasek with questions on this item. I IA. Urban Design. Study proposed scope of work. Staff is currently working on developing a scope of work for the Southlake Urban Design Study.

However the subcommittee did select a 50t' banner logo contest winner and they presented their selection to the planning committee at the meeting.
