Also, at the Mayor's Council meeting, a county wide ambulance
service was discussed, and we will be hearing more about this in
the future. The Mayor stated he prefers that a joint ambulance
service involving Southlake would be for this area only, and not a
county wide program.
Mayor Fickes announced that several days ago, he, Mayor Pro Tem
Springer, and Councilmember Sally Hall had a meeting with Planned
Cable Company, where they presented Planned Cable with a demand
letter expressing the displeasure Council is feeling with the
quality of service Southlake is getting from them. He stated that
it might be advantageous for Southlake to seek other cable
companies in the near future, if service doesn't improve.
Fickes announced the General Election which will be held in
Southlake on May 4, 1991, adding that the first day a citizen can
file to have his name placed on the ballot is February 18, with
the last day being March 20. The Office of Mayor, three Council
seats, and that of Judge of Municipal Court will be on the ballot.
The Mayor referenced a letter Council received from Barry Johnson
from Whispering Dell Estates, in regards to drainage problems he is
having. The Mayor noted the Regional Drainage Study which is being
discussed with the City of Keller, City of Colleyville, and City of
Grapevine, and Southlake.
An announcement was made that on February 21, Commissioner Bob
Hampton, Precinct #3, will be speaking at the Keller Chamber of
Commerce monthly luncheon, for those who are interested.
Southlake Economic Development Council sent out surveys through out
the City in an effort to get citizen desires in regards to retail
development. They would appreciate your input so that they can
place the information into a data base. They would like the
surveys to be returned by February 15.
Tarrant County Day will be held in Austin, where representatives
from the ten area Chamber of Commerce memberships will be
present. The main topic of discussion will be Public Education.
April is National Volunteer Month, where outstanding volunteers in
each city are recognized on a couple of occasions. Anyone can

nomination form and other details, contact Sandy LeGrand, City
Secretary. The deadline is March 1.

Aqenda Item %11, Public Forum
A. Public Forum: Mike Totin, 919 Emerald Blvd. Mr. Totin
nominated Dennis Minder for the Volunteer Award. He stated that
Mr. Minder is a member of the Southlake Volunteer Fire Department
among other things, and is deserving of this award. He stated
that he recently joined the Volunteer Fire Department and stated
they are in need of volunteers. The City only has three (3) (paid)
firefighters on duty per shift and is often in need of help. He
feels the city should give a financial "break" to those in
Southlake who have been called to serve our Country.
B. Public Appearance: Vernie Henderson, Manager, Lone Star Gas
Company.

Aqenda Item #11, Continued
Mayor Fickes noted that he has had calls in regards to gas
shortages in Southlake during the last weeks, and invited Mr.
Henderson to speak to the Council and Audience in regards to this
issue. Mr. Henderson used transparencies to show the various gas
pressures during the time of the shortages. He read a statement
explaining the facts which led up to the shortages.
Mayor Fickes asked for a letter from the president of the company,
addressing our problems in Southlake, as we need to be assured that
there will be adequate gas in the future. Fickes stated that Mr.
Henderson and Lone Star Gas Company needs to be aware of how
Southlake is growing and our need to have adequate service.
Karen Reynwlds, 1860 Hunter§ Creek, addressed her problem with Lone
Star Gas Company on the day of the outage.

item #14.
Aqenda Item #14, Ordinance No. 480-38, 2nd readinq (ZA 90-66).
A zoning change request for a 14.0748 acre tract of land out of the
Littleberry G. Hall Survey, Abstract No. 686, Tracts lC and lC3.
Current zoning is Commercial-2 and the requested zoning is S-P-2
(generalized) Site Plan District. Owners: Trustees, E-Systems,
Inc. Pool Trust and the Estate of J.F. Schnitzer, Inetta Schnitzer,
Executrix. Applicant: PIMA Properties.
Mrs. Gandy, Zoning Administrator, stated that fourteen (14) letters
were sent to property owners within 200'. She received a petition
on January 15, with 156 names, only four (4) of the property
owners were within 200' The protest represents approximately 10%
of the property owners.
On January 3, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved the S-P-2
Site Plan District; and on January 15, City Council approved the
1st reading of Ordinance No. 480-38, by a 4-0 vote.
David McMahan, PIMA Properties, was present to answer questions for
the Council. He stated it is their desire to build a 125,000
square feet anchor, in a major grocery store. He added that they
have attempted to take out the offensive uses from the zoning
district. He understands that they will have to present a detailed
site plan prior to building permits being issued.
Public Hearinq
Keith Letsinger, 804 Pearl Drive. Mr. Letsinger stated that he
continues to believe that City Council should vote to deny the
request. Now he believes that it must be denied as a matter of
law, due to the fact that the site plan which was submitted with
the application was not in accordance with the requirements in the
ordinance. To support the statement, he referred to Ordinance No.
480, Section 40.1; Section 40.3b; and, Section 32.4c. Section 40
deals with Site Plan, and Section 32 deals with S-P-2 zoning. Mr.
Letsinger added that this is the first application for S-P-2, and
he feels it is wrong to allow acceptance at this time.
City Council Minutes
February 5, 1991

Aqenda Item #14, Continued
Mr. Letsinger stated he feels at this time, the alternatives are
for the applicant to either resubmit a completed application or to
amend the wording of the ordinance.
City Attorney, Wayne K. Olson, stated that it is his understanding
that this application and site plan have met the requirements as
outlined in the ordinance. The detailed site plan must be
presented at the time of application for building permits. Staff
also feels that the site plan has met the requirements of the
ordinance at this time.
Mr. Letsinger commented that the application was made three (3) to
four (4) weeks before the a~endment to the ordinance was approved.
Also, that a sign is to be placed on the property being considered
for zoning change and a sign has not been placed on the property.
He feels that a conflict exists and that City Council should vote
no on this case.
Mayor Fickes feels we must follow the advice of the City Attorney.
We can make this center something that will be good for the area.
The key to a major center is a major anchor. The City Council will
demand that the developer do the project right.
Mr. Letsigner stated he does not think that S-P-2 is the right
zoning for this area.
Randall Boyd, 807 Pearl. Mr. Boyd stated that he has invested time
and money and has a legal interpretation of our ordinances. He
feels a signal was sent on the bond election. Do the results of
the bond election change the view point for improvements on North
White Chapel?
Mayor Fickes stated he feels the conditions of our roads and the
failing of the bond election are crimes. In regards to FM 1709, the
city has been told that if the right of way is acquired, within
eighteen (18) months, the section from Wall Street to FM 1938 will
be completed for widening. Then within six (6)months later, Phase
2 which is FM 1938 through Keller, will begin. The Mayor added
that the property in question has been zoned Commercial for
twenty-two (22) years.
Kathy Letsinger, 804 Pearl Drive. She stated that it is not the
fact that the citizens do not want roads, or that the citizens are
not willing to pay the taxes, the people did not like the way the
bond election was marketed. She stated they received a brochure
two days prior to the election.
Mayor Fickes agreed that it was a problem getting the word out to
the voters.

Aqenda Item ~14, Continued
Councilmember Sally Hall stated for the record, when this bond
timing was presented, she felt as the citizens did, that Council
did not have sufficient time to get the information out to the
public. She personally was not pleased with the time frame.
David Stoner, 813 Pearl. Mr. Stoner stated that after the last
meeting, the home owners in Diamond Circle Estates decided that
they wanted to pursue the issue further, so they went out and
obtained outside council. They wanted to get the best, so they
found an attorney who has 22 years experience in Municipal
Government in the local area. The results of what Keith Letsinger
presented was the opinion of this attorney.
Stoner stated that the site plan presented does not address the
provisions 'for drainage, fire hydrants, safety, a 50' sign, or
fast food establishments. He would like to know if Council would
eliminate the pads out front of the center.
Mayor Fickes stated that Council has met with the developer and
asked him all the same questions as the concerns of the property
owners. At this time we are dealing with zoning only, not with the
other issues.
Public Hearing closed.
City Attorney, Wayne Olson stated that he stands by his earlier
opinion. If the site plan is submitted under Section 32, Council
has the legal right to vote on this issue.
Councilme~er Sally Hall asked that City Council consider some of
the concerns of the citizens.
Councilmember Jerry Farrier stated that he agrees with
Councilmember Hall and with the citizens: however, to deny or
stall this issue now, would open the door for C-2 and under that
zoning district, this would give the developer the right to do more
without coming to council.
David McMahan wanted to point out once again that this is a zoning
issue. As it related to fast food, he does not agree. The plans
are not for this kind of use. But to limit the developer would not
be in the best interest of the center. Me feels we can over limit
the uses in the center very quickly.
City Council Minutes
February 5, 1991

Aqenda Item #14, continued
The City Attorney has concerns that City Council could eliminate
fast food restaurants. If City Council does not want a particular
use, it needs to decide it today.
Fred Dicinti , 1038 Diamond. He stated that fast food stores have
a habit of littering up and down the street. He suggested that
drive in windows be eliminated to a percentage of the use of the
store.
Councilmember Farrier noted that he feels taking away "fast food"
with the zoning is not the right tool for this action.

Aqenda Item #15, ZA 90-72 Revised Preliminary Plat for Arvida
The revised Preliminary Plat of Block 6, SouthRidge Lakes, being
described as 20.37 acres of land out of the A.A. Freeman Survey,
Abstract No. 522, was presented to Council. The lot is the
Commercial-3 site at the Northeast corner of North Peytonville
Avenue, and West Southlake Blvd. Owner: Arvida/JMB Partners,
L.P.II.
Karen Gandy, Zoning Administrator, noted that thirteen (13) letters
were sent to property owners within 200', and no responses were
received. The Planning and Zoning Commission approved this
preliminary plat on January 17 ,1991.
Councilmember Rick Wilhelm noted that one of his clients is Las
Colinas Land Limited Partnership. One of it's partners in an
affiliate of JMB Realty, and one of the owners of Arvida is an
affiliate of JMB. He does not represent JMB or the affiliate. He
has discussed this issue with the City Attorney, and they agree
that acting on this item is not a conflict of interest.
City Council Minutes
February 5, 1991

Aqenda Item #15, Continued
Councilmember Sally Hall stated that years ago, when Arvida came
in originally it was discussed extensively that they wanted the
road to access the commercial development out on the Arvida
subdivision, so that the people wishing to utilize the commercial
would not have to come out onto FM 1709 and immediately come back
into the commercial development. She stated that it is not fair
to anyone for Arvida to change their plan.
Sean Randall, Arvida. Mr. Randall stated that whenever they
dedicate common area to a homeowners association they always
reserve easements in order to come back and do necessary work in
the area, such as water line, cable television, or a private access
driveway. They have the unanimous support of the property owners
in Arvida to not put in a prTvate access road for LaPetite.
Mayor Fickes commented that the developer needs to make sure the
people who buy in their subdivision are fully informed on the plans
for the addition, so that property owners in the future will know
the plan before they purchase the property.
Mark Duphorn, 112 San Jacinto, SouthRidge Lakes Development. He
was instrumental in developing the petition which was signed by
property owners from SouthRidge Lakes Development. He speaks for
all of them. They are aware of the commercial property and of the
traffic which will result from the commercial property and the
traffic that will be behind any structure, backing up to the
commercial lots. They are concerned for the main reasons as listed:
1) increased traffic using SouthRidge Lakes Parkway as
an alternate route from the commercial area.
2) increased traffic due to the new high school.
3)
location of the access road, which is across from the
community center. The homeowners are concerned for the
safety of the neighborhood children who will be using the
activity area.
Mayor Fickes stated that the main purpose of an access road is to
give the residents a safe way to get into the center, as the main
concern is entering and exiting onto the Parkway itself. The Mayor
noted that the city will not build a road.

A request for approval of a site plan for LaPetite Day Care Center
was presented to Council. This action is necessary prior to the
issuance of a building permit according to Karen Gandy, Zoning
Administrator. The request is for the proposed Lot 2, Block 6,
SouthRidge Lakes, being 0.95 acre tract of land.
Mrs. Gandy noted that they propose a 6,600' building which is
proposed for 155 students. Nine (9) letters were sent to property
owners within 200' and she received one (1) response from C.L.
Pinson. Lloyd Martinson, a property owner within 200' expressed
concern about the noise in the area. On January 17, 1991, the
Planning and Zoning Commission approved the request by a 6-0 vote,
subject to staff comments in a letter dating January 8, 1991,
omitting #2 in regards to fire lanes.

John Levitt, Levitt Engineers, 726 Commerce, #104, Southlake.
Mr. Levitt noted in regard to the turn around at the end, the fire
hydrant is on the southwest corner of the tract and he has no
problem with a deceleration lane.
The City Manager, Curtis Hawk, expressed that he has a problem with
backing up on FM 1709. The reason for the temporary turn around is
for use until they have access to the rest of the development.
Fire Chief, Don Wilson, commented that they need the access
easement, and a cul-de-sac is being recommended as a temporary
solution.
Motion was made to approve the site plan subject to; #1,
compliance 'with the January 29, 1991 letter;#2, that there is a
turn around at the end of the street, or some other method
acceptable to the Fire Department; #3, deceleration lane into the

Aqenda Item #20~ Discussion:
SouthRtdqe Lakes, Realtqnment
Proposed Preliminary Plat of
A discussion was held in regards to
Preliminary Plat of SouthRidge Lakes,
proposed thoroughfare.
the proposed revisions to the
to include realignment of the
Sean Randall, Arvida, started off by stating that as a condition
of the zoning approval of Arvida, the City required that Arvida
build a four (4) lane thoroughfare. This effort was to comply with
a city wide thoroughfare plan which depicted SouthRidge Lakes
Parkway as extending south across FM 1709 to eventually connect to
Continental Blvd. He believes that several factors have changed
since Arvida received approval nearly two (2) years ago. First of
all, SouthR!dge Lakes Parkway will never extend past Southlake
Blvd. It may never have' a traffic signal at the entrance to
SouthRidge Lakes Blvd. Their traffic study indicates that there
may never be a need for this thoroughfare. He did and does
anticipate that improvements will be necessary to the Old
Peytonville Avenue.
Councilmember Wilhelm stated that he feels we cannot look at this
as an isolated situation, it has to be looked at as the entire
area, therefore, that included looking at Peytonville Avenue and
the need for a 84' four (4) lane divided roadway.
Michael Barnes, Director of Public Works noted that he fees a 64'
right of way would be adequate, however, a study needs to be done
to determine that. At this time, he does not feel a four (4) lane
road would be necessary.
Councilmember Farrier commented that one of the bigger issues that
needs to be resolved is allowing a developer to change the game
plan after a plan has been approved. Taking; away a significant
design feature that has impact on the total community. He feels
there is an integrity issue that needs to be dealt with. Farrier
stated that he feels when the City Council said they wanted the
road to go south, they did so to carry a certain volume of traffic
in good faith that this is what needed to be done. Because the
City Council did not allow for the road to go south, they have cut
down on the potential traffic, which works to the homeowners
benefit. Farrier continued, that Just because City Council
curtailed some of the traffic, does that relinquish the developer
from his responsibility. Farrier feels this is a serious issue.
He cannot look at any of the proposals and feel that they will
benefit the citizens more than in Proposal "A". This is the issue
to him.
Councilmember Wilhelm commented that there is no question that
Proposal "A" is the ultimate for Southlake, but the question is, is
it realistic. When you tell someone to do something and two (2)
City Council Minutes

years later the plan has changed and City Council changed the plan
by not going to the south with the road.
Farrier stated he feels that Arvida did a tremendous sales job with
the development. He feels the boulevard is an amenity that the
developer sold to the community and now they are changing that plan.
Sean Randall stated he feels that a mistake was made
this four (4) lane road and he does not want to make
again by building this four (4) lane road to nowhere.

Gene Femiano, 309 SouthRidge Parkway. Mr. Femiano stated that
property owners in $outhRidge Lakes Addition would like to see the
plan changed as they feel the size of the roadway is not needed.
He feels it would be in the best interest of the community to
change the plan.

Tom O'Mally, 202 SouthRidge Parkway. Mr. O'Mally stated that all
prior information has passed in regard to the parkway. We now have
a new High School. Ail the things have changed.
Fred Joyce, Randol Mill Road. Mr. Joyce stated that he does not
have an opinion at this time. He personally would like the road to
stay the way it was. He would like to hold the option to state his
opinion in the future. He feels the city seems pretty well set
on a 60' right of way on Old Peytonville Avenue.
Councilmember Hall stated she agrees with Mr. Farrier, she feels
that this road should continue as four (4) lanes , she does not
necessarily need the access roads. She still needs a four lane
road, as she needs that continuity. When Arvida presented this
program, they went through the discussion of safety, continuity
and integrity. The city asked for stubs going east and west, and
Arvida did not want to do this for security reasons. This was
another reason that the four lane road was brought up.
Mayor Pro Tem Springer stated she agreed with Ms. Hall.
Farrier remembers the citizens questioning the safety issues and
statements were made that he can't attribute to the developer or
Arvida, that Arvida did not have problems with the roadway, but
that they would probably use that to delineate levels of quality
within the subdivision with higher group housing on one side than
on the other and that the roadway would serve as a social divider.
Mayor Fickes directed the City Staff to meet with Arvida and work
together to come up with ideas for solutions to this problem.

Debbie Farrier, 1336 Glen Cove, Cross Timber Hills. Mrs. Farrier
stated she appreciates the people who have moved into SouthRidge
Lakes Addition and say that this is their home. When Mr. Randall
stated that he has talked with the people on Peytonville, he did
talk to Mr. Farrier, but not to any other property owners on
Peytonville that she is aware of. She expressed concerns about the
trees on Peytonville. She expressed that most of this is because
the game plan has changed.
Mayor Fickes stated that we will consider this in the future,
after discussions with the developers and city staff have taken
place.
Aqenda Item #21, Developers Aqreement/Monticello Estates
The Developers Agreement for Monticello Estates was discussed.
Larry Cole, developer, was present to answer questions for Council.
Mike Barnes, Director of Public Works, explained that item #6 in
the agreement in reference to Payment/Performance Bonds was
discussed. The developer is asking not to comply with this
requirement as he is not going to be applying for Building Permits
prior to completion of the addition. A discussion was held in
regard to the pro-rata park fee. With 54 lots @$500 per lot, the
total is $27,000. He is asking for a 50% credit.
Larry Cole, 4108 Greenway Court, Colleyville. Mr. Cole discussed
the conditions involving the statue of Thomas Jefferson to be
erected at the entrance in Monticello. A copy of the
specifications is attached to the minutes.
It was noted that because of the large amount of acreage used as
open space, plus the cost of improving that area, Council felt that
this is sufficient to allow the maximum amount of credit.
Motion was made to approve the Developers Agreement for Monticello
subject to 50% credit park dedication; waiver of payment for
performance bonds; pro -rata sewer and perimeter road fee.
