Members of the Planning & Zoning Commission
A few years ago the City of Southlake passed an Ordinance allowing
homes to be built on 30,000 square foot lots. This was not in
accordance with the wishes of a great many of the citizens of the city,
but it passed at any rate. A little later the PUD section was added to
the new zoning ordinance and I am sure most of the people of
Southlake do not know the ramifications of having passed the
ordinance with PUD included. Some residents are still under the
impression that 30,000 square feet lots are minimum in Southlake.
We were promised increased rooftops would mean increased
revenue for the city by having more taxpayers. What has resulted is
increased taxes for all members of the community with no relief in
sight.
Southlake is a rural community rapidly becoming another run -of-
the -mill suburban town. If we allow 6,000 square foot lots, just
because Mobil has promised a golf course, we are selling out the
integrity of the community in order to for a few people to chase little
white balls around a few acres. Please do not permit yourselves to
be influenced by a carrot dangling in front of your face called "golf
course." Without knowing the long range intent of the gift, it could
be detrimental to the taxpayers. How many of the residents would
actually vote to allow 6,000 square foot lots in exchange for a golf
course beneficial to so few?
Provided more time I would have made this a letter to the editor. I
believe the residents of Southlake need to be informed of an
impending sellout. Yes, in plain and simple words "sellout" is the
correct wording. Please give careful consideration to this matter. Do
not be swayed by promises of riches not beneficial to the whole city.
Sincerely ours.

Dear Ms. Gandy:
Please consider my views regarding the Mobil development project.
It is my understanding from questioning some of the members of the
Planning & Zoning Commission that the Mobil PUD as currently
proposed calls for the construction of homes on lots as petite as
6,000 square feet.
I am supportive of the PUD concept, and I am aware of the cost of
realty in Southlake. Therefore, I am open to a reasonable
accomodation of developer's plans which naturally require more
circumspect use of every square foot of land. Nonetheless, lots in
the range of 6,000 square feet will, I fear, jeopardize Southlake's
opportunity to stand out as a low density, high quality of life
community. Southlake must take a calculated risk with regard to
the Mobil project; it must decline the current proposal and insist
upon lot sizes that are consistent with the variations from the
half acre minimum that have already been approved for other PUD
projects in Southlake.
A project such as Arvida blends fairly well with the community as
a whole. Gargantuous homes squeezed onto row house sized lots
clash with the bucolic topography of the landscape and the rural
spirit of the townspeople.
I would ask that, due to the extensive ramifications of this issue,
the Planning & Zoning Commission actively seek additional citizen
input. I would ask that every possible effort be made to reach a
compromise with Mobil that retains Southlake's most precious asset:
Open Space.
Respectfully submitted,

1. Show owners name and deed record on tract fronting on Carroll
Avenue.
2. The entire length of Continental within Timarron ownership
should be dedicated as 84' R.O.W. from Phase 1 to the east end
of Phase 3.
3. The west R.O.W. of street 'A' north of Continental describes a
non - tangent curve or a reverse curve call is missing.
4. Street 'P' cannot vary from a perpendicular alignment with
Street 'A' by more than 20 degrees.
5. Lot 7, Block 24 scales to have only 4,725 square feet. Product
Type 'D' requires a 6000 square foot minimum.
6. The R.O.W. width shown for Street 'A' at the intersection of
Continental is 70' wide on the Development Site Plan. Please
reflect this on the plat. Per the Thoroughfare Plan, this
width should be maintained 150' -200' from Continental.
7. The subdivision ordinance (483- 5.03 -I) recommends a maximum of
twenty (20) dwelling units on a cul -de -sac. The area east of
the open space north of Continental has 48 lots from one point
of entry. Staff recommends a street stub east at the northeast
corner, through Timarron property, to connect with Carroll
Avenue.
8. Street 'P' going to the golf clubhouse should be dedicated as
public R.O.W. to provide frontage for the adjacent lots and to
provide public access to the clubhouse.
9. Show a 15' U.E. existing along the west line of East Haven
Addition.

10. Lots 19 and 20, Block 17 are greatly impacted by the floodway
limits. As shown, these lots are unbuildable. Is a map
revision to be requested?
11. It appears that blocks 6 and 9 should be combined in Phase I.
This would make Phase 3 start with block 9.
12. In order to meet emergency '911' addressing requirements, loop
Streets 'C' and 'G' must be split into two names. Call for
recommended location of name change.
13. Staff recommends that a public access easement or common green
be provided between lots off of Street 'G' and Street 'F' to
allow access to the future school site. (Ord. 483 - 5.03 -J)
14. Label the zoning in East Haven to match the Development Site
Plan.
15. The following changes need to be made with regard to easements:
- Change 15' D.E. between Lots 26 and 27, Block 18 to 20'.
- Change 15' D.E. around Street '0' to a 30' D. + U.E.
- D.E. will be required at rear of lots if swales are allowed.
* Staff recommends the submittal of a list of requested street
names ASAP to reserve desired names for this phase.
* Any reverse curves must have tangents meeting the requirements
of 483 - 5.03 -F -2. No compound curves are allowed.
* No utility easements to serve the interior lots have been
shown. Provide all appropriate easements depending on the
intentions to provide electric from the front or rear of the
lots.
* The applicant should be aware that any revisions made prior to
City Council must be received at the City by 3/30/92 . All
