Planner Tom Elgin informed the Commission that the Applicant's request is for Rezoning of 0.47
acres situated in the H. Granberry Survey, Abstract No. 581, being Tract 2A. The property is located

and two written responses were received, one opposed and the second had no official comment.
Commissioner Johnson addressed the following questions to Staff: first, the date that the tract to the
west was approved for rezoning; second, the previous zoning of that tract and the current zoning;
third; the combined area of the two tracts; and fourth, if the combined area is large enough for septic
system.
Mr. Elgin addressed the Commissioner's questions with the following answers: first, the property

to "0-1" Office District; third, the size of the two lots are almost equivalent to an acre; and fourth,
it is understood that the Applicant's intention is to connect to a sanitary sewer plan.

to speak to the Commission regarding this item.
Chairman Wright commented to Mr. Baker that the Final Plat was not a public hearing; however it
was a public meeting and allowed Mr. Baker to address the Commission regarding this item.
Mr. Baker informed the Commission of the written response he submitted in opposition of the

Mr. Elgin reported that the City Engineer was not present to comment at this time on the drainage
study. The Engineer is on vacation this week and due back on July 10, 1995. The drainage study
will have to be submitted during the construction phase.
Chairman Mr. Wright advised Mr. Baker that the rezoning had already been approved upon the

case is at the Final Plat phase. The Developer has to meet the state and city statutes regarding the

requirements. Chairman Wright advised Mr. Baker to consult with Engineer Ron Harper regarding
the drainage study.
Motion was made to approve ZA95 -59, Final Plat for Park Place Estates subject to the Staff Review
Letter No. 2 dated June 30, 1995.
Mr. Potter addressed Chairman Wright as to what steps Mr. Baker could take regarding the drainage
issue if the Final Plat was approved.

comments, and the Applicant is in the process of correcting those items.
Mr. Hobbs addressed the Staff as to the large quantity of comments listed on the review letter of the
Final Plat and why was it presented to the Commission in this manner.
Mr. Elgin informed the Commission that item #3d regarding the R.O.W. easement, the lane located
north of the property, on the Staff Review Letter was incorrect and to please consider this when
making a motion. Currently, that location is targeted for Community Development Block Grant
funding. There has been an existing question on the R.O.W. ownership easement and the situation
regarding the gravel drive. The Consulting Engineer has done research and the findings show that
there is not an easement nor R.O.W. dedicated to the public on Sutton Place. Mr. Elgin advised that
the large quantity of comments on the Staff Review Letter were primarily the technical "clean up"
in nature. He also commented that the Applicant's Engineer requested a meeting prior to the meeting
to address those comments. The general lotting does conform to the Concept Plan.
John Levitt (J.E. Levitt Engineers),726 Commerce, Suite 104, Southlake, was present to represent
the Applicant on this item.
Mr. Levitt commented that their were some errors by the surveyor regarding the cul -de -sacs being
labeled wrong and some things of that nature. If items #5 and #7 are activated that will eliminate
most of those comments on those errors. Mr. Levitt apologized to the Commission on the errors.
He had no problems with any comments except item #3d as discussed by Staff.

substantial trees on the entrance along Shady Oaks Drive. The location will be along the east
entrance along Shady Oaks Dr. A revised drawing has been submitted by the Applicant and his
Engineer has addressed most of the comments in the revised drawing.
Commissioner Johnson stated he had a concern with the intersection of future Highland and Shady
Oaks Dr. because the drawing shows it is off -set. A drawing showing future Highland, the
geometry, and the location of the trees was requested.
John Levitt (J.E. Levitt Engineers),726 Commerce, Suite 104, Southlake, was present to represent
the Applicant on this item.
Mr. Levitt informed the Commissioner that the reason of the off -set is due to the platted subdivision
on the north side of Highland has dedicated 42 feet of R.O.W. from the centerline of Highland, but
that the property to the south has not been platted. The centerlines of Canterbury and Highland are
common with no off -set and no skews. There were no problems regarding the Staff Review Letter.

Agenda Item #11, Revisions to Zoning Ordinance No. 480 -0
Revisions to Zoning Ordinance No. 480 -Q establishing special regulations for development adjacent
to residential areas.
Discussion.
City Manager Mr. Hawk informed the Commission that the amendments presented to the
Commission were at the direction of the City Council and the community. The purpose of the
amendments is to prevent incompatibilities between the residential districts and adjacent commercial
districts. At present, the state regulations concerning local municipal zoning authority limit the
extent that cities can adopt controls over the construction or architecture of a building through
zoning. The approach the City Attorneys have taken will apply to all zoning districts under certain
restricted situations and an approach that they would be able to defend. The objective is to discuss
the proposed amendments and, in the future when the City Attorney is present, bring this to the
Commission as a consider item.
Chairman Wright informed the Commission and the audience that he would like to discuss the
Ordinance as presented and have the members of the Commission comment on the amendments.
Mr. Wright opened discussion with following comments: page 2, section 1, under the heading of
"Additional Development Regulations For Properties Lying Adjacent to Single Family Residential
Development ", change the word "Development" to "Property "; clarify the distance definition by
changing the part "being constructed" to "currently in the process of being constructed" or "may be
constructed ";
Commissioner Johnson commented that he would like the phrase, "may be constructed" to be
defined.
Commissioner Hobbs requested the 350 feet distance be changed to 400 feet as in the Corridor
Study.
Commissioner Schroetke inquired as to how a builder would know what type of building
requirements would be necessary to comply with the adjacent districts; for example, how would a
PLANNING AND ZONING
MINUTES

PAGE 10
commercial builder get the roof plans for adjacent properties that are under development or existing;
also, if someone was wanting to build a building and there were no other buildings within 400 feet,
what guidelines would the builder follow.
Chairman Wright commented on page 3, section 1, item #B3, the word "tracts" appears but all
property references should be consistent throughout the Ordinance; it might be a good idea to use
the word "properties" in this item instead of the word "tracts "; page 3, section 1, item #B4, in regard
to the "dumpster facilities located within 100 feet of any adjacent residential development" change
that to "adjacent residential property ".
Commissioner Johnson suggested on page 3, section 1, item #B4, the word "residence" be used
versus "residential home" or "residential development "; be specific on the wording that refers to the
property being "used as, zoned as, and land use plan projecting ".
Chairman Wright commented on page 3, section 1, items ( #B5 and #B6), the "350" feet does not
comply with the 400 feet Corridor Study requirement; item #B6, change the wording "under
construction" to "may be constructed "; and, in a case where the zoning official is unable to
determine the proper building requirements a builder should follow, there should be certain
minimum guidelines the zoning official could enforce; page 4, section 1, item #B7, will the 400 feet
requirement apply; the wording "under construction" be changed to "may be constructed ", the
requirement for required off - street parking for the commercial or industrial activity shall occur in
the rear of the structure might be a nuisance; page 4, section 1, item #B8, change the "350" feet
specification to "400" feet and change the wording "under construction" to "may be constructed ";
and add to page 6 a section for the board to assign who grants variances.
Commissioner Arnold questioned page 4, section 1, item #B8, the wording referring to " 'display'
windows" and requested this be reworded to clarify the limit of what can be seen on the outside of
the window structure.
Mr. Potter asked for clarity on bufferyards and walls.
Mr. Wright stated that the bufferyard issue is addressed in another section of the zoning ordinance.
Mr. Wright commented that the state of Texas does not allow us to regulate the architectural style.
Commissioner Johnson asked for the clarification of "pitch" on page 3, section 1, item #B5 and that
pitch should refer to the slope of the roof.

The Commission suggested that Staff further examine the issues of yard requirements and rear
parking on page 4, section 1, item #B7.
(P /Z Meeting, 07- 06 -95, tape 1, section #2535 -6845)
Commissioner Johnson suggested the wording "single family" be changed to "non- single family
residential adjacent to single family residential" and that this change would make the requirements
apply to schools, apartments, churches, etc. He recommended stating throughout the Ordinance that
the objective is to protect the single family residential from non - single family residential.
Mr. Hawk commented that the City has no control over public schools but only private schools.
Commissioner Johnson has concerns how the Ordinance will be administered.
Mr. Hawk stated that the staff will create a policy and checklist to administer the amendments as is
done with other ordinances.
Commissioner Hobbs requested a copy of the checklist when it is developed for the Commission to
review.
Mr. Hawk commented that the Staff will bring forth to the Commission a checklist for the
Commission to review.
Commissioner Johnson then offered the following comments: page 1, last paragraph, "to encourage
stabilization, restoration and improvement of property and property value" should be changed to
"maintain property values "; page 2, second paragraph, change "compatible and consistent" to
"compatible and complimentary" for consistency; section 1, first paragraph, add the missing "MF -1,
MF -2, SP -1, SP -2, and PUD" zoning districts; second paragraph, questioned if the phrase
"significant architectural and cultural attributes" is for compliance with State statutes.
Mr. Hawk commented that the wording the City Attorneys drafted attempted to build in some
language that can show that all of Southlake applies for compliance with the statutes.
Commissioner Johnson offered additional comments: page 2, section 1, second paragraph, the
wording "direct proximity" needs to be defined; and page 2, section 1, item #A1, the word
"population" in the phrase "important products of human thought and action characteristics of a
population or community" should state "City of Southlake" or whatever the population is to which
the phrase applies.
Mr. Hawk commented that wording is to reflect the Southlake population in its entirety.

Commissioner Johnson commented on page 3, section 1, item #B1, the wording on the sentence,

too strict.
Mr. Wright suggested some type of percentage be specified and recommended 80 %. Chairman
Wright suggested the staff can clarify this issue.
Commissioner Johnson further commented: page 3, section 1, item #B3, change the wording, "all
structures subject to this section shall design, install and operate any exterior lighting" to "all
structures subject to this section shall not have exterior lighting "; and delete the last sentence
regarding examples of how this is achieved; item #B4, this section should include language that
employees should adhere to the hours for trash disposal and requested to see if the hours for non-
residential trash pickup are specified in the franchise agreement; item #B5, change the wording, "and
constructed of the same materials" to reflect the exterior appearance and not the structure; item #B6,
residential uses may have smaller front and side yards than the underlying zoning of the non-
residential property and language should be inserted in this section to take care of this problem; and
item #B8, discussed the window issues and questioned if glass blocks would apply.
Commissioner Arnold commented that a glass block construction does have mortar between the
blocks.
Commissioner Johnson is concerned that the Ordinance needs to reflect the screening of mechanical
equipment.
Chairman Wright suggested that the Staff provide a revised draft of Ordinance 480 -Q at a later date.
