Subject: SPIN #10 Meeting Inquiry - 321 West Southlake Boulevard
Mr. Viola,
Thank you for stopping by today. The first step in the SPIN Meeting process is to speak with the
SPIN Representative who will then make a recommendation on whether or not a meeting is
needed. Your project is located in SPIN #10 whose representative is Ron Evans. You can reach
him at 817-301-5234.
Mr. Evans will speak with you about your project and then make a meeting
recommendation. Following that recommendation, if you wish to schedule a meeting, please fill out
and return the attached SPIN meeting request form prior to the submittal deadline for your desired
SPIN meeting date. Please note that I cannot schedule a meeting without a recommendation from
the SPIN Representative.
Unfortunately, due to our own scheduling requirements and holiday schedule changes for City
Council and Planning & Zoning meetings, there are no remaining SPIN meeting dates for the rest of
the year.
The next available SPIN Meeting dates and corresponding submittal deadlines are:
