91 Property Owner Comments:
92
93 To the Honorable Southlake Planning and Zoning Commissioners and Carroll ISD's Mr. Derek Citty
94 and his design team.
95
96 I respectfully request that the statements below be read into the P &Z case record on June 17, 2010,
97 as I will be out of town and unable to deliver them personally on that day.
98
99 My name is Kermit Stosberg and I reside at 1204 Blythe Lane, Highland Estates, a subdivision
100 directly east of and backing up to Johnson Elementary School. I am in favor of and support the
101 improvements to Johnson Elementary as outlined in the above zoning case application, specifically,
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting June 17, 2010
Page 2 of 6
102 the routing of the "stacking" lanes to be used by parents for drop -off and pick -up. I urge the
103 Commission to approve the plan as presented.
104
105 Along with several of my neighbors, I attended the neighborhood Spin meeting held to discuss these
106 improvements. At that meeting, I was strongly opposed to the initial stacking lane routing because
107 ingress to the school was from Highland Street. My neighbors were also opposed to this routing,
108 because of traffic and safety concerns. One of my neighbors suggested that the initial plan be
109 changed to provide for ingress from Carroll, as is now shown on the site plan proposal. My
110 neighbors and I agreed that we felt this was a better alternative and Mr. Citty stated that he and his
111 design team would go back to the drawing board and consider this proposed routing change. I told
112 Mr. Citty at that Spin meeting that if they did change the routing to Carroll ingress, that I would
113 personally appear at the P &Z meeting to support him in the proposal.
114
115 As it turns out, I am unable to appear in person, but I wanted to fulfill my promise of support, via this
116 letter, and commend Mr. Citty and his team for listening to the concerns of the citizens and making a
117 modification to the plan that is both more acceptable, and I would argue, even better from a safety
118 and traffic standpoint, than the original.
119
120 Thank you to Mr. Citty and his team for listening I hope the Commission will approve this Plan as
121 submitted.
122
123 Very truly yours,
124
125 Kermit L. Stosberg Jr."

129 Chairman Faglie closed the public hearing and called for further discussion. Commissioners

134 allowing the three variances including the driveway spacing, stacking depth and for the sidewalk
