EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Property Situation
• The property is located on the north side of Union Church Road and east of Pearson
Lane with western property line abutting Chesapeake Place addition.
Development Details
• The applicant is proposing a site plan and zoning changes to the South Village at
Watermere that if approved, would result in thirty -two (32) gated age- restricted single
family residential lots along the east side of Watermere Drive and thirty -eight (38) non-
age restricted single family residential lots along the west side of Watermere Drive.
• The main change to the concept plan from the previous plan considered earlier this year
is the replacement of seven (7) four -plex buildings (28 units) with seventeen (17) age -
restricted single family lots /homes.
The following exhibits were distributed during the meeting:
Case No. Attachment C
ZAl2 -059 Page 6
QUESTIONS /CONCERNS
• Are these single story homes?
o Some will be single story and some 1 '/z story; zero lot lines
• How are you getting lower density and what are villas?
o Our plan is going from twenty -eight (28) dwelling units to seventeen (17) dwelling
units. The four - plexes were described as villas; these new single family homes
are described as cottages. The cottages will be limited in size; from 2500 to 3700
square feet.
• Is this a change for the west side?
• No.. it is the same as when presented six (6) weeks ago.
• But changed from the original plan?
• Yes, the age restriction was removed due to the housing needs changing.
• Are there any non -age restricted homes presently?
Case No. Attachment C
ZAl2 -059 Page 7
o No
The City used to be very concerned about high density. Is this still a concern?
o All of our lots are the same size or larger. We have a lot invested in this project;
the goal is in keeping up with an active adult community. The target for the west
side is towards empty nesters not families. Not many young families will want a
two or three bedroom home with small square footage as well as Keller school
district when they could spend the same amount of money (500 -900K) for a
larger home outside of this development.
• You talked about zero lot lines, what are the setbacks?
o The front and rear yards will be 20 feet and there will be approximately 14 feet
between the homes which provides room for a patio, garden or nice yard area.
• Have you considered expanding your market by building something more affordable?
o No, we don't think they want that here.
• Is the east side gated?
o Yes
• Will the age restriction for that portion lift off in the future?
o No
• Will the west side have a separate HOA?
o Yes
• So what is the total density?
o South village is going from 82 units to 71 units
o The east side was "unknown" at the time the west side came in; we currently
have approval for the seven (7) four - plexes. Then we made the decision to lift the
age restriction on the west side and propose single family cottages on the east
side. Once this goes through the process, we are done... this is it.
• When would you begin construction?
o Immediately
What type fencing?
• We plan for a six (6) foot stone wall along Union Church
• No wood fencing
• All wrought iron on the east side
• A two (2) foot wall along Watermere Drive which is consistent with the existing
wall
We are worried about this setting a precedent
c Nothing is changing in lot size by removing the age restriction. No one in this
room should be worried about this project. We have more to lose than anyone.
Will you be putting speed bumps on Watermere Drive? We are worried about cut -
through traffic.
o There will be a stop sign and a lowered speed limit

Dear P & Z Commission Board Members and fellow 5outhlake residents
This letter serves as written comm unication of our adama nt opposition to any and all of the
proposed changes to the current zoning and concept plans for Watermere at Southlake (referred
to in Public Hearing Notice 7Al2 -059) and for South Village at Watermere (referred to In Public
Hearing Notice ZAl2-058). We must take this position because of the developer's histaryof
noncom piiance with the current concept plans and failure to honor commitments made to us as
bordering property owners which is furtl•Pr compounded by the City of Sout hl ake% slow
response and ineffectual enforcement of compliance issues related to the Watermere
development.
The most recent example of this began again In May. We noticed that trucks were once again
dumping fill dirt along our west boundary with the Watermere development. We called the City
of Southlake and informed them of the activity. We were told an earth disturbance permit had
not been issued and that the matter would be looked into promptly. The next week the fill dirt:
was spread by bobcat machinery. Once that dirt was spread trucks began to bring more fill dirt
to the site. On May 1: we took a couple of pictures of the site With the new stacks of dumped
soil. We once again called the City of Southlake and were more insistent that an inspector come
to the site. Mr. Paul Ward came to the site and posted a "Work Stoppage" notice. Mr. Ward
notified us a day or two later that he had spoken with the developers and that they indicated
that they knew nothing abou t the soil being dumped there and claimed it was a case of illegal
dumping. We indicated our s (ept cism of this explanation because machinery had been brought
In and the first trurddoads of so! I were spread and graded. The trucks did, however, stop so we
did not pursue the issue and Left the matter to the City of Southlake to resohre. Today trucks
began dumping fill dirt In the same area again. We contacted the City of Southlake and informed
them that the activity had resumed. MT. Warn then contacted the Watermere developers. He
called us back and stated that the Watermere developers now clamed the work they were doing
was completion of prior work covered in the concept plan. Mr. Wade also stated we would.like
what they were doing because the lots would eventually be graded to drain into the Waterrn re '
Lake. e reminded Mr. Wade of the prior clalm made in M any that the work was done w ont

the Watermere developers' knowledge ,or permission. We also pointed Gut that, according to
the concept plan, there was supposed: to be a 20 toot buffer }card between our property and the
development which was not being observed, Furthermore, the land on the Watermere property
was lower than our property when the development first began —Ft now is as high as or higher
than the top of our 4' cyclone fence. The property stretching from theChesapcakc subdivision
to our property line is now 4'-e higher than It was prior to the beginning of construction.
During the original P & Z hearings, one of the commitments made by both Watermere enginners
and Southlake City engineers to the surrounding property owners was that the drainage issues
would be ardpquately addrossed. It was claimed that not only would the development not add to
drainage problems, bu it would correct existing issues. Atthat time runoff did not drain
through our property from the north or west property line, but did back up from the creek
across Union Church Road on the south side of our property during very heavy rains. Now
almost every substantial rain results in flooding In our greenhouses and outi ide production areas
from the north and west property lines. This has seveWy impacted our business In the spring—
our busiest season. We have sustained crop damage during heavy rains. There were times this
spring when our back greenhouses could only be entered wearing knee -high boots. We were
assured this would nut happen. Now we are being told that all this added fill dirt will not
agg ravate this problem and, indeed, asked to believe that Ais new grading will lessen or even
eliminate it. We fail to understand how being placed inside what can literally be described as a
large bowl can alleviate the drainage problems this development has caused to our property!.
This should not have been allowed to ha open.
We have no idea vvhat these requested zoning and concept plan changes are the prelude. for—
but prior experience has taught us to be cautious. We have heen treated in the past like
unreasonable individuals for requestingivwhat should have been minimally offered inthe
situation. Our business has been negatively impacted oy this. development. Our property has
been de- valued. We realize that because of our location directly tea zhe south of this
development we are probably the most negatively affected of all the surrounding property
owners. The other property owners that would have suffered these effects were Fought out by
the Watermere developers. That does not lessen the responsibility of the city engineers to
protect our rights as property owners; nor, floes it lessen 1Vaterrnere's obl;gati an to behave
responsibly.
We are not against progress. We, like all our neighbors, want to see our part of Soutniake grog
and prosper. Over the year's we have worked Bard to share in that vision of gro%vth. We op pose
this because we see it as a significant impediment to our business.
