CONSENT AGENDA:
5A. Approval of the minutes of the City Council regular meeting held on June 3, 2003.
Approved as presented.
5B. Cancellation or rescheduling of the July 1, 2003, City Council meeting. The City Council
agreed to cancel the July 1, 2003, meeting and move all corresponding public hearings to
July 15, 2003. Several Councilmembers are unable to attend the July 1 meeting.
5C. Approval of final construction payment for Dove Road widening from SH 114 transition to
the Kirkwood Boulevard intersection in the amount of $369,677.49. On September 10,
2002, the City Council approved a developer's agreement with Verizon Wireless that
required the developer to widen Dove Road from SH 114 through the intersection at
Kirkwood Boulevard. Anticipating minor changes during construction, $465,000 was
approved by the City Council, but the developer's agreement allowed $345,686 for
reimbursement. During the construction, it was determined that additional pavement
markings and signage was needed to better control traffic flow and that paving the raised
median with concrete pavers similar to what TxDOT had done at SH 114 would eliminate
continuous maintenance of the median, as it was designed to be left with grass between the
curbs. The final construction cost is $369,677.49. The FY 02/03, Council approved Capital
Improvements Bond Program included $465,000 for Dove Road widening from SH 114 to
Kirkwood Boulevard.
5D. Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract of sale and exchange of property between
City of Southlake and Westerra Southlake, L.P. located west and south of Dove Road and
west of White Chapel Road. On September 10, 2002, the City Council approved the
developer's agreement for Solana Addition, Lot 1, Block 1 (Verizon Wireless Network
Observation and Control Center) located on the northwest corner of Dove Road and
Kirkwood Boulevard. As part of the developer's agreement, Verizon agreed to reconstruct
and widen Dove Road from where the state's construction ended through the Kirkwood
Boulevard intersection to its ultimate section. The reconstruction and widening of Dove
Road was recently completed. The roadway includes four travel lanes with a raised median
and a left turn lane. With Verizon's final plat, sufficient right -of -way was dedicated along
the north side of Dove Road to accommodate the widening. Sufficient right -of -way is not
available along the south side of Dove Road along property owned by Westerra Southlake,
L.P. Staff has negotiated an exchange of property with the Westerra Southlake, L.P. for
right -of -way needed for Dove Road. The City will convey surplus right -of -way left at this
intersection following the realignment of the intersection of Dove Road and North White
Chapel Boulevard. The contract stipulates that the City will exchange four tracts of land,
totaling 0.6273 acres, for one tract from Westerra Southlake, L.P., which totals 1.047 acres.
Due to the difference in size of the tracts, one tract has significantly more value than the
four tracts combined.
5E. Ordinance No. 835, 1 reading, Abandoning and quit claiming a portion of Dove Road
right -of -way. With the previous item, the City Council will authorize the City Manager to
execute a contract of sale and exchange of property between the City of Southlake and
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES, JUNE I 7, 2003, PAGE 2 OF 8
Westerra Southlake, L.P. The contract calls for abandoning and quit claiming three of the
four tracts of right -of -way at the southwest corner of Dove Road and North White Chapel
Boulevard to Westerra Southlake, L.P., in exchange for a strip of right -of -way along the
south side of Dove Road. Ordinance No. 835 follows through with abandonment and quit
claim of these tracts of right -of -way to Westerra Southlake, L.P.
5F. Authorize the Mayor to execute a Residential Developer's Agreement for Patterson's Pond,
a 7.934 acre, 10 -lot residential subdivision. The final plat for Patterson's Pond located on
North Kimball Avenue was approved on May 22, 2003. The subdivision has a 400 -foot
long cul -de -sac street and will include the installation of 497 feet of storm sewer, 445 feet
of water lines, and 746 feet of sanitary sewer lines. The development also includes a pond.
This is the City's standard Residential Developer's Agreement and includes no requests for
waivers or credits. The developer desires to pay park fees in the amount of $15,000 in lieu
of park land dedication.

2R2, Block 5, Cornerstone Business Park, and Tract 2, Tract 2C, and a portion of Tract
2A1, T. Easter Survey, Abstract No. 474, being approximately 3.66 acres. Since the
property is already appropriately zoned under the current S -P -2 district, the plat is not
dependent on the other agenda items. There are no significant issues with this plat.

of the city's investment policies. Texas Short Term Asset Reserve Program "TexSTAR" is
an investment pool to provide for the joint investment of participants' public funds and
funds under their control. To open an account and appoint authorized representatives,

10A. Authorization to enter into an interlocal agreement with St. Martin's -in- the -Field Episcopal
Church for practice ballfields. Director of Community Services Malcolm Jackson presented
this item to Council during the Work Session. The city has had a successful history of
interlocal agreements for land use with St. Martin's -in- the -Field Episcopal Church and
currently operates under two agreements for the use of four acres for practice soccer and
baseball fields. The city received formal notification from the Church of their intent to
terminate within six months the interlocal agreement for the two acres located along South
Pearson Lane in preparation for the expansion of their facility. This results in the loss of
two practice soccer fields. The remaining interlocal agreement for the two acres north of
Chesapeake Park containing the practice baseball field continues. The Church has agreed
to allow the city to use an additional two -acre site to the north of Chesapeake Park
(contiguous with the park and the remaining leased area) to allow for the relocation of the
practice soccer fields. In return, within two years from the effective date of the proposed
agreement, the city would be responsible for clearing the proposed site, providing
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES, JUNE 17, 2003, PAGE 4 OF 8
appropriate grading and drainage, and irrigating the area. The site improvements (clearing,
grading, and irrigation) are estimated to cost approximately $15,000, with anticipated
funding being available in the FY 2003 -04 SPDC Fund (Special Projects). The city would
also assume regular maintenance, however, at approximately two acres, the proposed lease
site is comparable in size to the area which will be lost. Once established, the new area will
require no additional on -going maintenance than what is already being provided. The Parks
and Recreation Board reviewed and recommended approval at their June 9, 2003, meeting.
Motion was made to approve consent agenda including Items 7A, 7B, 7C, and 7D to table to July
15; 8C to table to July 15; 8D subject to Plat Review Summary No. 3, dated May 30, 2003; 9A,
9B, 9C, and 10A.

REGULAR AGENDA:
Agenda Item No. 8E. ZA03 -036, Preliminary Plat for Saddlecreek Estates (F.K.A. Quail Hill
Estates) on property described as Lots 1 through 4, Block 1, William H. Martin Survey, and
being approximately 10.15 acres. Senior Planner Dennis Killough presented this item to the
Council. This property is located on the west side of Randol Mill Road, approximately 1,800'
south of West Dove Road. The current zoning is SF -1A. The purpose of this request is to
subdivide the property into four lots, averaging 2.5 acres each, for residential development. The
density is 0.4 dwelling units per acre. A variance to the requirement that all lots front on a street
is being requested. The four lots are proposed to front on a common access easement. This is
similar to what has been permitted in a few two -lot residential subdivisions and in the
commercial developments, Georgetown Park and Pecan Creek. If approved in this manner, each
property owner (or HOA if one is established) shall be responsible for maintaining emergency
access as required by DPS. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval
subject to review, allowing the requested variance on June 5, 2003. Applicant Tom Matthews,
Four Peaks Development, 726 Commerce Street, Southlake, Texas, answered Council's
questions. Mr. Matthews said there will be a mandatory homeowner's association.
Motion was made to approve ZA03 -036 subject to Plat Review Summary No. 2, dated May 30,
2003, and requiring the following notations be included on the plat: there shall be no gate or
other obstruction of access to the private access drive from Randol Mill without specific
approval of the City Council and subject to the agreement of the developer to impose a
mandatory homeowner's association for maintenance of the private access drive.

Agenda Item 6. Public Forum.
Diane Spradling, 125 North Pearson Lane, Southlake, Texas, expressed concern with the
Johnson Road redevelopment project and specifically cited drainage problems and damage to
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES, JUNE 17, 2003, PAGE 5 OF 8
houses. She asked for Council's help to get the problem cleaned up. She submitted some photos
of water damage which will be retained with the minutes.
Susie O'Dell, 325 North Pearson Lane, Southlake, Texas, told the council she has lived on
Pearson Lane for 25 years and has never had water problems until the Johnson Road
reconstruction began. She asked for Council's help.
Bert Poulin, 345 North Pearson Lane, Southlake, Texas, also cited drainage concerns and gave a
copy of a 1997 letter from Hannon Engineering to the City Secretary. A copy of the letter will be
retained with the minutes.
Agenda Item No. 8A. Ordinance No. 480 -420 (ZA03 -020) 1 Reading, Zoning Change and
Concept Plan for Chapel Hill Office Park. Senior Planner Dennis Killough presented this item to
the Council. This property is located at 205 East Southlake Boulevard (FM 1709). The current
zoning is AG, the requested zoning is S -P -2, with 0-1 office district uses and regulations. The
purpose of this request is to receive approval of the zoning and a concept plan for the
development of eight office buildings. The plan presented to the Planning and Zoning
Commission proposed nine office buildings, a building floor area range of 3,500 SF to 11,800 SF
and a total floor area of 55,100 SF. The Planning and Zoning Commission had concerns about
the density of the project, the on -site parking deficiency, the distance of the parking spaces to the
buildings and the lack of walkways. P &Z denied this application, therefore, a super- majority
vote is required at City Council. Applicant Steve Isbell, Realty Capital Corporation, 32 Village
Lane, Suite 200, Colleyville, Texas, presented this item to Council and answered questions
regarding impervious coverage, parking, and building configuration. Mr. Isbell stated that the
overall site will not exceed 65% impervious coverage.
The Mayor asked for comments from the audience.
Jim Jeppe, 330 Glenrose Court, Southlake, Texas (SPIN #9W Representative), advised the
Council that this item has not been through a SPIN meeting. He asked Council to allow them
time to go through the SPIN process.
Mr. Isbell said when they submitted this plan to the City, there was not a SPIN #9W
representative. He said he would be happy to hold a SPIN meeting before the next Council
meeting.
Mayor Wambsganss said he would like the applicant to meet with SPIN and address their issues
before returning to Council. He will support this application tonight but said he has a couple of
suggestions that may better address the impervious coverage issue.
Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Potter said he will support this tonight but expressed concerns regarding
the impervious coverage on the property. He asked the applicant to address the impervious
coverage before returning to Council.
Motion was made to approve Ordinance No. 480 -420 (ZA03 -020) 1 Reading, subject to
Concept Plan Review Summary No. 4, dated June 13, 2003, and granting the requested
variances.

Agenda Item No. 8B. Ordinance No. 480 -386a, (ZA03 -025) 1 Reading, Zoning Change and
Concept Plan for Lot 3, Block 1, Cornerstone Plaza. Senior Planner Dennis Killough presented
this item to the Council. This property is located on the south side of East Southlake Boulevard
(FM 1709) approximately 600' east of South Nolen Drive, just east of Ultimate Electronics and
west of Snookies. The current zoning is S -P -2 with limited C -3 uses; the requested zoning is S -P-
2 with limited C -3 uses. The purpose of this request is to receive approval of a revised concept
plan for the development of retail and restaurant uses. The uses and other regulations are the
same as the current S -P -2 zoning. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval
subject to review, specifically requiring cross - access with the east property, adopting regulations
and uses as proposed, and granting a variance request of 10% reduction in parking on June 5,
2003. Applicant Kent Bell, JDJR Engineers and Consultants, 2500 Texas Drive, Irving, Texas,
answered Council's questions about the project.
At Council's request, Mr. Bell agreed to continue the Snookie's sidewalk west to the driveway
into this property which will allow for pedestrian traffic between the two sites.
Motion was made to approve Ordinance No. 480 -386A (ZA03 -025) 1 Reading, subject to
Concept Plan Review Summary No. 3, dated May 30, 2003, and granting the 10% reduction in
required number of parking spaces and accepting the applicant's willingness to continue the
sidewalk from the Snookie's site to the driveway of this property.

Agenda Item No. 10B. Authorization of a variance to Sign Ordinance No. 704 -A for
PETsMART located at 200 Village Center Drive. Deputy Director of Administrative Services
Garland Wilson presented this item to the Council. PETsMART located at 200 Village Center
Drive, is requesting a variance to install a 29 sq. ft. oval sign depicting the "PETsHOTEL" logo.
This would increase the number of signs at this site to a total of five and would increase the
overall sign area from 300 sq. ft. to 329 sq. ft. The previous four signs were approved under Sign
Ordinance No. 506 which did not limit the number of signs. The allowable area under Ordinance
No. 506 when the previous signs were installed was 279 sq. ft. and was increased to 300 sq. ft.
by a variance to install a horse logo in 1998. Allowable area under the present Ordinance No.
704 -A is 140 sq. ft. Applicant Gregory Davis, Thomas Signs, 4590 118 Avenue North,
Clearwater, Florida, presented this item to Council and answered Council's questions.
Mayor Wambsganss said he would not be opposed to the replacement of one of their current
signs with a new sign, "Pethotel," but he thinks it is getting far too busy. There are too many
signs on the building.
Councilmember Standerfer agreed stating that he does not want to increase the overall number of
signs but would not be opposed to them adding the word, "Pethotel," onto an existing sign. He
said they should either remove one sign altogether or combine an existing sign with the new
word, "Pethotel," staying within the approximate same square footage.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES, JUNE 17, 2003, PAGE 7 OF 8
Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Potter agreed stating that they would be able to keep the same number of
signs but would incorporate the new wording within those already allowed spaces.
Motion was made to approve a variance to Sign Ordinance No. 704 -A for PETsMART to allow
for the replacement of either the "Grooming" sign or the "Banfields" sign with the proposed
"Pethotel" sign as proposed by the applicant (not approving an additional sign).

Southlake, Texas 76262
Re: Harrell Place Addition, Preliminary Plat, Southlake, Texas
Dear Mr. Poulin:
This letter is a report of the results of my investigations into
the preliminary drainage design for the proposed Harrell Place
Addition. This subdivision is proposed to contain eight SF -30
lots and be constructed on approximately six acres of vacant land
on the west side of Harrell Drive across from Florence Elementary
School. This proposed subdivision abuts your property along your
east property line.
According to the Preliminary Drainage Plan prepared by Bill
Boomer, P.E. of LanCon, Inc., the total drainage area of the
subject property plus the tributary off -site area is approxi-
mately 22.5 acres generating a 100 year design flow of 108.00
cubic feet per second. They propose to handle this flow by
conveying it westerly in an earthen channel to be constructed
along the common lot line between proposed Lot 7 and proposed Lot
8 and running from Harrell Drive to their west property line.
The termination of this ditch is near the mid -point of your east
property line.
There are several problems with this proposed drainage improve-
ment, as follows:
1. The proposed ditch does not follow the exiting drainage
pattern and does not terminate in the existing drainage
course. I have personally verified that there is no
established channel at any point along your east prop-
erty line. The established drainage pattern is into an
existing sump (low area) on the property adjacent to
you to the south.
2. The referenced sump area appears to be the remnant of a
natural ditch which reputedly originally flowed south-
erly through Cimmarron Acres until it was filled in by
developers and /or home builders. The sump is currently
relieved by an approximately 24" corrugated metal pipe

1245 Southridge Court #204 Hurst, Texas 76053 817/268 -6W) (metro)
Mr. Bert Poulin
March 20, 1997 - Page 2 of 2
running southwesterly under the horse arena located on
the property adjacent to your property. This corru-
gated metal pipe does not have the capacity to handle
108 cfs. Ponding and overflow into your property, the
arena, the lots and homes in Cimmarron Acres and the
homes to be built in Harrell Place can be anticipated
during major rainfall events.
3. Unless the city specifically requires the builders to
grade the lots such that all of their drainage is
directed to Harrell Drive, you can anticipate that
normal lot grading will divert half, or more, of the
water falling on the lots in the new addition to their
rear property lines. When such diversion occurs, it is
probable that it will continue westerly into your lot
and into the lots of your neighbors to the north. This
does not conform to the existing drainage pattern that
I have observed at the site.
4. Southlake Ordinance No. 605, the Drainage Policy Ordi-
nance, requires developers to prepare and submit a
Drainage Study at the time of Preliminary Plat submit-
tal. This Drainage Study must provide a plan for
handling fully developed on -site and off -site upstream
drainage. Additionally, section 7.03 requires the
developer to address problems resulting from inadequate
downstream capacity and to make "appropriate provisions
to accommodate the problem ". This has not been done.
The design of any such "appropriate provisions" is the
responsibility of the developer's engineer, but poten-
tial solutions include increasing the size of the
diversion culvert and /or providing storm water deten-
tion on the proposed subdivision property.
In conclusion, it is my professional opinion that the Preliminary
Drainage Plan submitted with the Preliminary Plat of Harrell
Place is incomplete and that further analysis should be made
. prior to the city approving the Preliminary Plat.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call.
Sincerely,
