40
41 Pattie Minder (SPIN 48 Representative) 223 Eastwood Drive, Southlake, Texas, said she held a

2
3 Commissioner Muller said the agreements made the applicant do not have to be complied with
4 unless they have "S-P-1" zoning.
5
6 Mr. LeVrier said Bank One is purchasing all three lots. He said the will meet and exceed the lighting
7 requirements. He reminded the Commission this is a very detailed Concept Plan.
8
9 Commissioner Muller asked Mr. LeVrier if he will change the zoning request to "S-P-1". Mr.
10 LeVrier said no; they meet all ordinance requirements.
11
12 Mr. LeVrier said they are not proposing any pole lights.
13
14 Chairman King called for a break at 7:33 p.m.
15 Chairman King called the meeting back to order at 7:50 p.m.
16
17 (Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, 03-22-01, tape 1, section #1659)
18
19 Commissioner Muller said again that she wants "S-P-1" zoning.
20
21 Mr. LeVrier asked the Commission to trust the City's ordinances.
22
23 Commissioner Muller said "S-P-1" is part of the ordinance.
24
25 Vice-Chairman Boutte reminded everyone this is the last legislative action by the city; the rest is
26 administrative.
27
28 Commissioner Terrell asked if they can tie this plan to a future Master Plan (i.e.: Trail Master Plan).
29 Director Payne said no; not the way it is configured.
30
31 Jeff Birmingham (Trammell Crow - represented Bank One) said he is unsure of what "S-P-1" zoning
32 means and said they will agree to put in the trail.
33
34 After discussing it with Mr. Birmingham, Mr. LeVrier asked for "S-P-1" zoning with "O-1" uses.
35
36 Commissioner Jones asked if that is satisfactory to Mr. LeVrier; does he feel like he is
37 compromising the project. Mr. LeVrier said no.
38
39 Dennis Minder, 223 Eastwood Drive, Southlake, Texas, said he would like shorter light poles (4' or
40 6') and wants the dumpster to be screened.
41
42 Chairman King closed the Public Hearing.

2 Commissioner Muller discussed "S-P-1" with "0-1" uses on the property to require the 8' trail as
3 proposed on Master Trail Plan. Also, including building size limits and lightening restrictions as the
4 developer had agreed to at the neighborhood SPIN meeting.
5
6 Motion was made to approve ZA00-126 subject to Concept Plan Review Summary No. 2, dated
7 March 16, 2001, accepting the applicant's agreement to change the zoning to "S-P-2" Generalized
8 Site Plan District with "O-1" Office District uses, limiting the maximum building size of the back
9 two buildings to 4,200 square feet, requiring the applicant to build an 8 trail, and limiting the
10 height of the light poles to 8 foot and to shield the lighting on the ATM but to comply with State
11 requirements for lighting of the ATM area.

13 Motion: Muller

20 (Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, 03-22-01, tape 1, section #3039)
21
22 Commissioner Jones said his vote against ZA00-126 is due to his belief that we overstepped our
23 authority with limiting the lighting poles. The "O-1" zoning is clearly written for a purpose, taking
24 in consideration of surrounding neighborhoods. If we do not accept the zoning definition as its
25 written, we're admitting that it's so flawed we have to "strong-arm" changes. I just don't think we
26 should usurp the definition of zoning that Council has approved. If we don't like it, we should make
27 a recommendation to Council and not "penalize" the developer or "compromise" him into
28 submission.
29
30 AGENDA ITEM #5, ZA01-017, REZONING AND CONCEPT PLAN FOR CLARIDEN SCHOOL:
31 Senior Planner Ken Baker presented this item to the Commission for a Rezoning and Concept Plan
32 for Clariden School on property legally described as a portion of Tracts 1 and IA, situated in the W.
33 Mills Survey, Abstract No. 877; being 23.050 acres. The property is located on the west side of

12 Stuart E. Jenness, 500 Brooks Court, Roanoke, Texas, who wrote: 1. Location of the private school
13 on White Chapel Road in addition to the private houses soon to be constructed will create major
14 traffic problems on White Chapel Road, at the intersection of Dove and White Chapel, and at
15 114 and White Chapel. Several hundred cars on a two lane road in poor condition already, plus
16 construction trucks plus service vehicles - a crises waiting to happen. 2. All the addition of
17 traffic from the new homes planned, the school (Private) and the public school (planned) will
18 prevent emergency vehicles (fire, police, ambulance) from navigating White Chapel Road
19 quickly for fires, medical crises, etc., among homeowners north of the proposed site of the
20 private school. 3. Traffic accidents are bound to occur on White Chapel in the near future, with
21 young drivers in a hurry, etc. These will further aggravate problems noted in #2.
22 Rick White, 4475 Homestead, Southlake, Texas;
23 Jean Janness, 500 Brooks Court, Roanoke, Texas, who wrote: I am very concerned about the traffic
24 congestion the school will cause on North White Chapel Road. With only one direct access road
25 will the City Council and the school take the responsibility for homes that burn or medical
26 problems that occur because fire engines and ambulances can't make fast responses due to
27 traffic on North White Chapel. Make North White Chapel a four lane road before you put in a
28 school. The homes of the people with the school are elsewhere and they are not interested in
29 their potential neighbors. The school does not have to build on North White Chapel. It has other
30 options; we do not.
31 Robert Spencer, 500 Brooks Court, Roanoke, Texas, who wrote: 1. Traffic danger from
32 overcrowding of road. 2. Emergency vehicles could be blocked due to traffic. 3. 150 teenage
33 drivers on road - two lane, no shoulders, accident waiting to happen. 4. How many supporters
34 of the school in the audience live in the North White Chapel area and how many are even
35 Southlake residents paying Southlake property taxes?

I won't be near the traffic issue as some currently think. He thinks it is a good design and a great
2 concept.
3
4 Commissioner Terrell questioned staff about the center turn lane and said he does not think traffic
5 will be an issue at all.
6
7 Chairman King said he thinks the school is going in the wrong place - in a low density area - and
8 is located two miles off a main artery. He said he is not in favor of this request.
9
10 Commissioner Muller questioned if the school would pay for the drainage and road improvements
11 to North White Chapel Boulevard. Mr. Oman said the school is prepared to participate in the
12 improvements.
13
14 Paul Spain said they will build the left-hand turn lane.
15
16 Commissioner Stansell asked if the applicant will change the request to "S-P-1" zoning. Mr. Oman
17 said no, he doesn't think so.
18
19 Commissioner Stansell stated he has lighting concerns. Mr. Spain said they will put a restriction on
20 the school lighting.
21
22 Commissioner Horne said it is a hard decision. It is based on what Southlake has been as opposed
23 to what Southlake is. He has to weigh the education of 600 children in a great school against the
24 safety of the road. There are two hairpin turns on this road.
25
26 Commissioner Jones said children are dropped off and picked up at various times, and he doesn't
27 think their safety is compromised because the times are spread out throughout the day.
28
29 Commissioner Terrell said there needs to be some bending on the school's side. He wants "S-P-1"
30 zoning.
31
32 Commissioner Muller asked if the school has looked for land in other places. Mr. Oman said they
33 have looked for five years.
34
35 Commissioner Jones said it comes down to the education of these children. We need to give the
36 parents a choice of public versus private. The school has been given this gift and asked what else
37 they are going to do. He said the roads will be improved; it is not a matter of will they be improved,
38 it is a matter of when will they be improved.
39
40 John Richardson, 4837 Homestead, Southlake, Texas, said it is a question of flooding versus
41 drainage. He said the lake fills up and does not have anywhere else to go but across White Chapel.
42
43 Mr. Spain suggested allowing the school to place barriers or arms on North White Chapel that would
44 come down when the road is flooded.

2 Commissioner Terrell asked again if they will change their request to "S-P-1" zoning.
3
4 Mr. Oman agreed to "S-P-1" zoning with "CS" uses with lighting and additional turn lane only.
5
6 Commissioner Horne said he cannot get past the road safety issue.
7
8 Commissioner Muller asked when the DPS building would be constructed, since the fire response
9 time from the North Carroll fire station was increasing to this area. While she agreed it complied
10 with the Master Plan, she had reservations to vote for the zoning because of the uncertainty when
11 the road improvements on North White Chapel and the construction of the new fire station would
12 take place.
