of a needs assessment for DPS facilities. Mr. Schon explained the fees noted on page 2,

Southlake's Code of Ethics is stricter and more encompassing. The committee feels
comfortable that it provides a strong framework in which to guide the ethics and conduct
of the City's elected and/or appointed officials, officers, and employees. Therefore, it is
the recommendation of this committee that no changes are necessary to the existing
ordinance.' A copy of the letter will be attached to the minutes of this meeting.

noted the committee has been extended to all Southlake ministers.
Aeenda Item #4-B. City Manager s Report
City Manager Curtis Hawk reported on the trip to Austin for the organizational meeting of the

headquarter in Southlake, in the new city hall facility. He said Southlake had designated
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JAN. 20, 1998 PAGE 3 OF 22
$20,000 to set up the office. They agreed to do that. There were sixteen cities in attendance.
State Representative Nancy Moffat was there, presenting a letter of support for Sonthlake, as well
as Councilmember Scott Martin and himself. Mr Hawk said, "One of the benefits to Southlake
having the office here is there are sixty-four (64) cities in Texas that have Sister City
relationships with other cities and other countries which could provide good contacts. A lot of
the quarterly meetings and annual meetings will come to Southlake, and this is another benefit
in terms of the quality of life things we offer in Sonthlake. Our youth have been very active wit h
the Sister City relationship with Toyoma, Japan and now we have a relationship with El Fuerte,
Mexico. Over time, by having other cities office here, there will be some benefits of economic
development and not just cultural in nature. Southlake was very successful and he was very
pleased to have them agree to come to Southlake.
Councilmember Scott Martin stated he was also very pleased to have been able to
go to Austin and represent our City in the Sister Cities setting. The members are
very eager to get this organization offthe ground. Martin said, "We made a great
deal of progress in getting the structure of the organization started. Everyone there
was very impressed with the leadership Southlake has to offer. This is another
opportunity for Southlake to shine."

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS:
Authorize payment for the installation of a storm sewer for the proposed Miron elevated
storage tank was approved by the City Council. As part of the proposed Miron elevated
storage tower, a storm sewer is necessary to facilitate drainage of increased runoff from
the tank site and any potential overflow from the tank. As part of the future construction
of the water tower, a storm sewer was to be built. The agreement with the developer,
Martin Schelling, was to build a "combined" storm sewer. Therefore, the developer
agreed to install the storm sewer while making the water, sewer, and drainage
improvements for the addition. The City agreed to reimburse the developer for these
improvements.
Change Order #1 to the contract with Mid-State Utilities for the installation of sanitary
sewer in Mission Hill Estates. Mid-State Utilities currently contracted to install sewer in
Mission Hill Estates subdivision as part of the neighborhood sewer program. The
proposed change order is from the extension of sewer line behind two residences within
the Diamond Circle Estates subdivision as part of this project. The amount of the change
order is $36,167.54. The original amount for this project is $367,614.20. This propos ed
change order would increase the total amount of the project m $403,781.74.
Professional services agreement with Phillip Swager Associates for development of a needs
assessment for DPS facilities. The study provides an analysis of existing facilities and
assesses future needs. This process enhances the city's ability to adequately plan the
construction of the proposed new facilities under the Crime Control and Prevention Tax
District building program. The approved budget allocations for FY 1997-98 include funds
for this project, and cost calculations are within the established budget amounts.
Interlocal Agreement between the City and Carroll Independent School District for Joint
Elections was approved. This agreement provides for the City and school district to share
a polling location for the May 2, 1998 election. By offering one early voting site and one
election day voting site, citizens were offered much more convenience than previously
available.
Resolution No. 98-9, adopting amendment No. 2 to the City of Southlake Flexible
Employee Benefit Plan. The IRS has determined that all plan documents must include
language that addresses the Family Medical Leave Act of 1993, the Uniform Services
Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 and the Small Business Job Protection
Act of 1996. Basically, these amendments address coverage for qualified benefits offered
under the plan that are subject to the provision of FMLA and USERRA and their
regulations.
5-F. Amended Interlocal Agreement with Texas Municipal League (TML) Group Benefits Risk
Pool. The Group Benefits Risk Pool is the provider of dental insurance for City
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JAN. 20, 1998 PAGE 6 OF 22
employees. TML has recently made a change to their interlocal agreement that
necessitates participating members to sign a new agreement. The only change made in the
agreement is the change of the word "elected" to "selected" on page 2 in the definition of
"Board of Trustees."
Facilities Usage Agreement between the City of Southlake and the Southlake Baseball
Association. This is the fourth year for formal facility usage agreements between the City
and the youth associations. Each agreement is reviewed annually by the city and the
association boards and is in effect for the calendar year. These agreements outline the
responsibilities of the youth association and the Parks and Recreation Department using
the City facilities for their league play in 1998.
Facilities Usage Agreement between the City of Southlake and the Southlake Girls Softball
Association. The information in the agreement is the same as the agreement noted in
agenda item #5-G.
5-I.
Facilities Usage Agreement between the City of Southlake and the Grapevine/Southlake
Soccer Association. The information in the agreement is the same as the agreement noted
in agenda item #5-G.
Professional Services Agreement with MESA Design for the Cottonbelt ISTEA Grant
Trail. There is a Tri-City Trail Committee (TCTC) between North Richland Hills,
Colleyville, and Southlake formed to work with Texas Department of Transportation
(TxDOT) to build the Cottonbelt Trail ISTEA Grant Project. The three cities have entered
into an interlocal agreement to manage this project. The TCTC interviewed professional
service consultants to design the trail, and is recommending MESA Design for this project.
The total contract with TCTC is $381,342. Southlake's portion of the contract is $30,354
or 8%. The SPDC budget is $48,000 for this project. TxDOT will reimburse the City
80% of the cost for design and construction.
Municipal Corridor Use License with Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) for a hike and
bike trail within the DART-owned Cottonbelt Railroad right-of-way. The DART
agreement requires Southlake to mow and maintain the DART right-of-way to the standard
it is now maintained, which is minimal (mow once per year). Our section of the trail is
approximately 480 linear feet or .09 miles.

Agenda Item//6. Public Forum
No commems were received during the public forum.
Agenda Item #7-A. Approval of 1998 Land Use Plan Undate.
Chris Carpenter, Comprehensive Planner, led the discussion on the 1998 Land Use Plan Update
giving a brief overview of the plan, assisted by Stephanie Sarakaitis, Planner. He noted there
are a couple of things that need mentioning. He commented they tried to incorporate the Corridor
Study which was approved in 1995, into the plan. The study refined some of the uses that are
along the major state highways in the City. In the 1997-1998 plan, he stated, they ended up with
a couple of new categories of "retail commercial" and "office commercial" which further
delineated areas which may have been mixed use before, that seem to be more appropriate at the
intersections.
Mr. Carpenter stated another thing they tried to do is make the plan easier on the Planning and
Zoning Commission to prepare for the changes in the map. The first thing they did was divide
the city into study areas so that they could break down the duties. From that, after each work
session (seven or eight work sessions beginning in August), the Planning and Zoning Commission
had a public hearing. Staff provided them a composite map which shows all of the individual
study areas combined into a single map. They changed the 1993 plan to this plan. There were not
many significant changes made. The plan presented to Council reflects recommendations made
at the last LUP work session held on January 15, 1998.
PUBLIC HEARING:
Dona Schroetke, 211 Eastwood Drive, Southlake. Ms. Schroetke discussed with Council three
issues: 1) Rockenbaugh-Knox property on North Carroll being changed from medium density
residential to low density. She asked Council to change it back to low density; 2) Briarwood tract
off SH 114, she noted she has a problem locating retail by residential. She asked that it be
changed to office-commercial; 3) Corner of F.M. 1709 at Carroll Avenue. She noted the zoning
is currently S-P-l, for an upscale shopping center. She expressed concerns with keeping it retail,
noting, "we will need to rezone at some point." Again, she stated she has a problem with retail
next to residential. She expressed concerns with affecting the property values, adding, "If the
property values are affected in TIF it will make it hard for the City to pay off the debt.'
Christopher McGuire, 2089 North Carroll Avenue, Southlake. He commented that his concerns
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JAN. 20, 1998 PAGE 8 OF 22
are the same as Ms. Schroetke, regarding the property north of SH 114 on North Carroll Avenue.
He added, traffic and the character of the area are concerns. He commented the areas are new
neighborhoods comprised of people who bought into and invested in this community, who will
be raising their children in this area. He had the same concerns as Ms. Schroetke on the
commercial property.
Mayor Stacy commented on the plan for the City, stating the City Charter requires
the City to update the Land Use Plan and the Thoroughfare Plan, in order to plan
for the future growth and development of the City. He referenced the Southlake
Commons tract, stating it is presently zoned for the Southlake Commons
development. If the City were to change it on the Land Use Plan to show it as
residential, or office, and then someone new moved in and it is zoned for
Southlake Commons, they might not like that.
Terry Mullaney, 1515 North Carroll Avenue, Southlake. Mr. Mullaney stated his primary concern
is the Rockenbaugh-Knox property. However, he is also concerned about the Southlake Commons
and the Briarwood tracts. He likes the idea of a "gray" color on the map when we are not sure
where we are going. He commented, "If we are not sure where we are going, we should just
slow down and not do anything." He stated he is not in favor of "up planning." To upgrade the
Rockenbaugh-Knox property to medium density does not hold water as the property has sold with
the low density designation. He commented on the system used by the Planning and Zoning
Commission during their meetings. Study area "B' was comprised of eleven tracts. Of those total
eleven tracts in Study area "B", five tracts were replanned for a less intensity occupancy and four
were left alone, and two were replanned to be more intense. He stated he feels this is a very
unusual consistency.
Dale Crane, 1469 Sunshine Lane, Southlake. Mr. Crane stated he submitted a letter to the City
Secretary today for the record. He supports a proposed change to the def'mition of residency, to
Area 8, Rockenbaugh-Knox property. He stated he is opposed to the medium density for this
parcel, but in favor of the low density classification, or a change to the definition of residency.
Kim Pannell, 1418 Whispering Dell Court, Southlake. Ms. Pannell presented petitions signed by
residents of Whispering Dell Court. She stated her husband chose the property eleven years ago
and their back yard is adjacem to the Knox property. They are concerned with changing the
property from low density to medium density. The traffic on North Carroll Avenue is a concern,
as Carroll, in its current shape, cannot hold up to the traffic. She also commented on the drainage
problems in Whispering Dell Estates. She asked, "What will we do with more roof tops?" She
asked the City Council to amend the plan.
Chris Ensenberger, 1505 North Carroll Avenue, Southlake. Mr. Ensenberger stated he is present
to speak on the Rockenbaugh-Knox property. He stated he sat through the Planning and Zoning
Commission meetings and it made no sense to him how they were about changing land use
designations. He stated he appreciates that the requirement is for the City Council to consider the
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JAN. 20, 1998 PAGE 9 OF 22
Land Use Plan Update every couple of years. He asked the City Council to consider changing
the Rockenbaugh-Knox property back to low density.
Kenneth Home, 1215 Ashmoore Court, Southlake. Mr. Horne commented that when he moved
to Southlake, the "build-out" of the city was to be around fifty thousand population. The City
Councilmembers stated if it changes, it will be downward. He stated this plan is not clear to him.
Rex Potter, 303 Waterford Court, Southlake. Mr. Potter stated he sent a letter to the City
Secretary on this date, which describes eight parcels of property being considered for change on
the Land Use Plan. He asked that the property stay as low density as possible. He reviewed his
parcels for the Council. The parcels include: Property at the southeast corner of Continental and
South White Chapel Boulevard; property at the southwest corner of Continental and South White
Chapel Boulevard; property at the southwest corner of Southlake Boulevard and South White
Chapel Boulevard; property at the southeast corner of Southlake Boulevard and South Carroll
Avenue; property at the southeast corner of South Kimball Avenue and Continental Boulevard;
Martin Schelling's property on the east side of North White Chapel Road; Rockenbaugh and
Knox properties on the east side of North Carroll Avenue; and properties at the southeast corner
of East Highland Street and North Kimball Avenue. A copy of the letter from Mr. Potter to the
City Council is hereby attached to the record.
Rhonda Chambers, 1810 Hunters Creek, Southlake. Ms. Chambers asked Council to leave the
Rockenbaugh-Knox as "yellow" on the map. She asked Council to leave the north side of SH 114
as low density. She thanked the City Council for the job that they do.
Terry Chambers, 1810 Hunters Creek, Southlake. Mr. Chambers did not wish to speak, but
included on his sign-in card: "I am in opposition to changing the land use north of Highway 114
to medium density. Growth of the City needs to be slowed in order to allow to facilitate the
infrastructure and schools needed to support growth."
Bob Bonchak, 1820 Hunters Creek Drive, Southlake. Mr. Bonchak did not speak but stated on
his sign-in card, "changing Knox-Rockenbaugh tracts from low density residential to medium
residential density with this area will adversely effect residents and only benefit the developers.'
Linda Smith, 1029 North Kimball Avenue, Southlake. Ms. Smith stated the property at 1029
North Kimball Avenue had been listed for sale for years. It is located on the corner of Kimball
and Highland, and the only interest in it was as medium density residential rather than
commercial. By showing it as medium density residential, it will provide a larger buffer to the
area properties and the impact on the schools is minimal.
Larry and Kathleen Pursley, 1315 Westmont Court, Southlake. Mr. and Mrs. Pursley did not
speak but included on the sign-in card, "Rezoning of the corner of F.M. 1709 and South Carroll
Avenue to residential/office, and not retail commercial."
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JAN. 20, 1998 PAGE 10 OF 22
Boyd Dollar, 525 Brooks Court, Southlake. Mr. Dollar expressed concerns with the change to
the Rockenbaugh-Knox tract of land, stating, he does not understand why it would be changed.
Mr. Dollar noted, "I care about the whole city."
Christi and Bob Bledsoe, 1600 North Sunshine Lane, Southlake. They did not wish to speak but
included on the sign-in card, "Knox-Rockenbaugh, we want it to stay low-density."
Art Clayton, 3129 Lake Drive, Southlake. Mr. Clayton stated as a citizen and developer, he wants
to see more medium density on property in the City. He stated he wants to see more single family
as opposed to office or retail. He commends the City Council and City staff for the job that they
are doing.
Martin Schelling, 2665 North White Chapel Boulevard, Southlake. Mr. Schelling stated
everything around his property leans more toward medium density than low density. He stated
Sweet Street is a non-conforming use, which is the property directly north of his property.
Rob Jones, a member of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Mr. Jones urged the City Council
to go back and listen to any of the tapes of the P&Z meetings and work sessions on the Lan d Use
Plan for sections of conflict. He noted several properties changed because the "orange" color on
the map would not cost anyone fmancial loss. He stated, "The Rockenbaugh and Schelling
property was changed because an order came forward and said please change for me, and the
change was granted."
Jim Haltom, 1700 Sunshine Lane, Southlake. Mr. Haltom stated, like his neighbors, he wants the
Rockenbaugh-Knox property left at low density for now.
Craig Fennis, 1790 Hunters Creek, Southlake. Mr. Fermis stated he is opposed to the
Rockenbaugh-Knox property being medium density, and wants it to remain low density.
Pete Landesberg (no address), Southlake. Mr. Landesberg stated the City should keep as much
low density as possible; the respondents of the survey want it that way. He read the objectives
of the Land Use Plan.
Jan Francis, 1211 Ashmore Court, Southlake. Ms. Francis stated she is concerned with changes
to higher density anywhere in the City. The schools cannot handle it.
Public hearing closed.
Councilmember Pamela Muller stated this is a Land Use Plan, and she stated she
feels there is some confusion that we are rezoning, when this is a plan to reflect
potential zoning on properties. She said, "In her mind, when we ERR, it should
be on a more conservative approach to keep the lowest density possible on these
tracts. If a property comes forward and there is a problem with the development,
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JAN. 20, 1998 PAGE 11 OF 22
then you put it on the developer to explain those reasons why they feel it should
be of a higher density or a different type of use. This gives the people in the area
the opportunity to attend the meetings and have their input. We are very fommate,
unlike other cities, that we have SPIN areas and our developers do come and give
presentations to the citizens. We get a lot of good positive feedback as the result
of those presentations." Ms. Muller added, "a conservative approach is a safer
approach."
Councilmember Scott Martin stated he thinks it is very important that the citizens
understand that the Council has been discussing for many months, the lowering of
the threashhold for residential PUDs in particular. He stated he feels the PUD is
a very valuable tool for government as well as staff and all participants. Martin
said he thinks we have very creative developers in our community and this will be
brought forward to Council in the very near future.
Mayor Rick Stacy thanked everyone who participated at the Planning and Zoning
Commission meetings and attended tonight regarding the Land Use Plan Update.
This is a plan for future development. This plan does not immediately zone any
property. He stated, "We have worked hard to have lower density in Southlake."
He thanked everyone.
Councilmember David Harris stated he wanted to address questions that were
passed to the City Council. All of the Council has commissioned and spent money
to produce a master drainage study. Drainage is a very serious concern. Council
is aware that there are drainage concerns in the area and Council is aware of the
streets and traffic concerns. Council is aware of the other infrastructure problems
and also aware of the schools in the north part of town. Harris said, "We do
appreciate the work that P&Z put in and the fact that there are no more parcels in
controversy is a sign that they did a good job. The Planning and Zoning
Commission understands that they are an advisory board and Council may disagree
with them on one or two parcels. Council generally doesn't do someth'mg unless
they have reason to do it."
Council adjourned for recess at 9:00 p.m.
Council returned to open session at 9:20 p.m.
Mayor Stacy suggested the City be divided and consideration be given to the area north of S.H.
114 first. Council voted on each tract of land north of S H 114 with an informal vote as follows:

Agenda Item #7-B. 24th Proeram Year (1998} Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG}
Ron Harper, City Engineer, stated in his memorandum to the City Manager, dated January 16,
1998, staff's project recommendation for the 1998 Tarrant County CDBG program is construction
of water facilities and street improvements for Sutton Place Addition (Sutton Lane). The project
entails construction of a waterline to serve the residents of Sutton Place as well as paving Sutton
Lane. The existing waterline that serves the residents along Sutton Lane is undersized and not
adequate for fire protection. Furthermore, Sutton Lane is currently a gravel road. Each resident
has dedicated the appropriate amount of right-of-way to construct these improvements. The
estimated project cost is $201,920. The anticipated portion the City will be required to pay is
$108,920. This amount will be funded through the FY 1998-99 CIP budget.
PUBLIC HEARING: No comments were received during the public hearing.
