The Mayor stated he has read the letters and petitions and he has also read from the Planning and Zoning minutes Mr. Black's comments. The Mayor stated he has even thought about living in Mr. Black's house himself.

If they would, he challenged anyone of the residents from SouthRidge Lakes subdivision to buy Mr. Black's property and extend the amenities of SouthRidge Lakes. The Mayor stated it would be exciting to see the residents to work as diligently for something as they have worked against Mr. Black selling his property. Council adjourned for recess at 8:55 p.m. Council returned to open session at 9:05 p.m. Councilmember Pamela Muller stated this has been the worst zoning case before the Council for her, as she is friends with the developer and with the property owners at this time. She expressed concerns about a comment that Mr. Black will sell his property and move on. This family will still be part of Southlake as he has a son and son-in-law that work for the City of Southlake. She expressed concerns for the developer as they also live in Southlake in her neighborhood. She stated she is hopeful that something can be worked out for the sellers.

Mr. Black has hauled kids of those in the audience as a bus driver for the CISD. Evans stated the citizens need to picture what the Black place looked like when he purchased it prior to the time that all of those in SouthRidge Lakes residents moved in. SouthRidge Lakes was a wholesale nursery, and all the property back behind him was a longhorn ranch. Mr. Black moved to the "real country" many years ago. Evans stated he never heard Mr. Black complain about SouthRidge Lakes coming in. He never once mentioned that he was completely unhappy with what was going in. Jerry Black, 1302 West Southlake Boulevard, residing there for twenty-five (25) years. About REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OF THE 3/18/97 MEETING PAGE 11 OF 15 6-7 years ago when Arvida Properties came in and wanted to build there addition, he stated he was all for it, thinking it was the greatest thing for Southlake. They came in and built tennis courts in the front, shading his house with the 10' nets. He gave Arvida an easement for the runoff of water from their property, and they were very thankful for that. He remembered when they started playing tennis in his backyard, the lights would shine on his property. Then his grandkids came along. They had to lock them in the house because of the large pond being 60' from his front door. It is a bad situation. He bought into it and he is not going to complain. When the cars started coming down the driveway to get to the tennis courts, that bothered him. The club house at SouthRidge Lakes is commercial, whether the property owners know it or not. His property will look better when cleared. He can no longer take care of it because of his health and the expense. It would cost more to remodel it than to tear it down. He has had the property on the market for two years, and this is the first time he has gotten a contract. Mr. Black stated he does not know what to do if he cannot sell his property. Mr. Green stated he does not know if this issue can be resolved here tonight. Would it be a viable issue for mediation if they did reduce the size of this property. If so, he would gladly mediate. Mr. Tim Green asked once again to have this item tabled time certain April 15, 1997 with the understanding they will attempt to proceed with mediation with the neighbors. Councilmember Gary Fawks stated if the applicant feels they cannot work with the property owners in mediation, he will not be in favor of this item when it returns to Council on April 15, 1997.

City Council Scheduled Priorities Greg Last, Director of Community Development, stated with regard to the Master Land Use Plan Update, he has talked with a couple of Councilmembers and the Planning and Zoning Commission about delaying the Land Use Plan update for several reasons: Tom Elgin, Senior Planner is leaving March 21; and, 2) He would like for the new comprehensive planner to be involved in the update from the beginning so that they will understand the direction of the Council and Commission and why we did certain things so that they can better represent the issues to SPIN and other meetings that they might be involved in; and 3), if we postpone the Land Use Plan update, it will allow us to slip in some ordinance changes/adoptions in the next few months. Karen Gandy, Zoning Administrator, is recommending a method of expediting requested ordinance revisions. It just means getting representatives together who are interested in working on an ordinance and letting them work through the issues prior to bringing it forward for formal consideration.

SouthRidge Lakes has expansive green scape and seasonal flowers at it's southern entrance. Lakes on each side of the southern entrance greet homeowners as they arrive from a long day of work or a day of errands. Again, SouthRidge Lakes is being as to serve as a model. Now the SouthRidge Lakes neighborhood is being asked to allow multiple story commercial developments to be built next to it. Developments that maybe architectural pleasing for commercial development, but detract from the look and feel of the SouthRidge Lakes neighborhood. A group of SouthRidge Lakes homeowners meet with Mr. Green of Medical Air Associates and his architect on Sunday, March 16, 1997 at our club house. We meet for over an hour with them. They explained their plans and answered our questions. I believe that Mr. Green and his architect are sincere in their plans to build a quality commercial development. I have nothing personal against Mr. Green. But, I am opposed to the development. I realize the Corridor Study and the Corridor Overlay Zone are guidelines for commercial development along FM 1709, Highway 114, and FM 1938 in Southlake. However, it has been my understanding that the intent of the Corridor Study and the Corridor Overlay Zone was to control commercial development along these corridors so that a balance of residential and community developments would be obtained. I strongly believe this balance will be upset if multiple story commercial developments are built in close proximity to residential neighborhoods. REC'D MAR 181997 I do not want Southlake to become another Plano, Addison, Irving, Arlington, or even Grapevine. I like the rural atmosphere, the residential character, and the high quality of education my children receive in Southlake. In conclusion, I urge the Mayor, the City Council, and the Planning and Zoning Commission to reject this development and to request Medical Air Associates to seek a more suitable site in Southlake. Also, I am requesting the Corridor Study, the Corridor Overlay Zone, and the Land Use Plan be reviewed as it pertains to commercial development juxtapose to residential neighborhoods. I believe assumptions were made in the original study that anticipated high intensity commercial developments would "not ...be placed contiguous to or in direct proximity to residential zoning districts ". It can be seen with the Aguirre, Inc. and Integrated Health Systems Assisted Living Facility Request and now the Medical Air Associates request that commercial developers will build high intensity commercial developments near residential neighborhoods if the current zoning is not amended to prevent these developments. • . 0 4 N�r> 't rn >6 >v) 4r c4 c p_ O ti:J Ho 1 tri . to d 4 O 8 W --i r c N ° y ►-.� M—+ C d r r 8 p Oy % b r 0 i n y d y r ■,- H p u, P pro O r �d C 0 N c 6 '5' r- `-'„ H cA C) H ci) '7' tt d Pi 0, C A `—' CAGE ci l r `o ro w C) Z r r & > O O PCj O mini 4 0-tJ n (i) tt c9 N --i 7ci > S H C O - 0 r ° [I . r OPPOSITION TO REZONING REQUEST ZA 97 -005 r 8 • 5 ei s o i. i 9 16 6 1 q!lp an ..:, t ip* .
