Aqenda Item #6-A, Public Forum
Victor Boswell, Lot 19, Trout Lane, West Beach Addition.
Mr. Boswell stated the city wants the water rights. He knows the
City needs water. If the city comes to Lot 19, Trout Lane, West
Beach Addition, he will sell all the water to the City that they
need. He stated he has ten (10) 3/4" brass meters and will take
$100. each for the meters. He has 3,500 feet of main line and he
will take $2.00 per foot for the line, if the City will provide
the people with continuous service and not charge them anymore for
their water.
Boswell has organized several petitions, which he presented to the
City Secretary. The petitions are for the following: natural gas;
in favor of 1/2 acre lots; Boswell water system; in favor of
development, including mobile homes; and, county style
streets.
Mayor Flckes replied to his comments.
Willie Mae Carter, Rt 5 Box 39A, Roanoke, Texas. West Beach
Addition. Ms. Carter stated she purchased her property to live on
until she dies. Her house burned down and she alleged the city
will not let her rebuild and therefore, she cannot have
electricity. She needs a fan, lights, and a refrigerator. She
appreciates the water she is getting from Mr. Boswell. She does
not think that it is right that she can only have a temporary pole
for thirty (30) days. She stated she now lives in a little trailer
and she will not sell her property to anyone.
The City Manager replied that she cannot have permanent power
without a permanent structure, which has been built to code.
Coun¢ilmember Mike O'Brien stated he feels that Ms. Carter needs
some help from the City.

Peter Sporrer, 1214 Woodsey Court, Southlake. Mr. Sporrer stated
he attended the meeting held by Boswell where West Beach Addition
residents were present. He sees now what the City is trying to do
in working with the landowners in that area. He added, the City
annexed the landowners, not the other way around. Let's try and
help these people out.
Robert Rlchey, 2006 Morgan Road, Southlake. He represents a group
of homeowners in the Loma Vista Addition, Cedar Oaks Addition, and
Cross Timber Hills. He came before Council asking for assistance
in regard to a replat of Cedar Oaks Addition and the overhead
electric which is being put in at this time. He noted that
originally, that area had all underground utilities, including
electricity; He asked that Council assist them and not let this
happen. They do not want overhead wires on their properties. Plat
shows no utilities in the front of the properties, yet they are
doing Just that. He estimates there are 300-400 homes in that
general area. He came home from work yesterday with markers on the
ground where the power company is putting up power poles in the
front of the properties. Tri-County electric is also concerned.
The new service is coming from TU Electric. The property owners
are asking for relief, as the poles are to be set on Friday.
The City Manager noted that the Developers Agreement does not
address the issue, however, City Staff will look into the matter
and will work with TU Electric on this issue.
Aqenda Item #6-B, Public Appearance/ Martha Burqess
Martha Burgess, 1360 North Carroll Avenue, Southlake. Mrs. Burgess
expressed to Council that before any more building is done off of
North White Chapel, the drainage issue should be looked into. They
purchased their property is 1957, and the problem has continually
become worse over the last two years. She asked for Council
assistance in correcting and not adding to this drainage problem.
She presented photographs of the area after the last rains (hereby
a part of the record).
Mayor Flckes stated he feels the basin must be cleaned out, but
there are no easements and the City does not own the property.

ditches be maintained unless they can find some reason not to
maintain the right of way. However, staff will deal with this issue
at the time of final plat.
Councilmember Sally Hall stated she would prefer to retain the
right of way because the school is faced with some severe financial
problems and one of their major expenses is busing. They are
looking at the day when they will not have to bus children within

way for future side walks and someday start putting them in.

Keith Thomas, Mobil Land Development Corporation was present for
the meeting to answer questions for Council. He stated there is an
island on Oakmont Court and will include an adequate radius for
Fire Department equipment. He reviewed all the items in the May
13, 1991 review summary and they made the appropriate corrections.
Mayor Pro Tem Wilhelm commented in regard to a release for the
homeowners who dwell along Bear Creek. He would like the
statement incorporated on the plat. He understands the developers
concern in regards to having the statement become an issue by being
on the plat.
City Attorney, E. Allen Taylor Jr., commented, they deliberately
structured the proposed language that will track as closely as
possible with Texas Case Law. The structure of the release and
location on the plat is to clarify the knowledge.
Mayor Pro Tem Wilhelm stated he would like to see the statement on
the plat, unless it is a legal requirement that it should not be on
there. He does not mind limiting the statement to the lots on the
creek along the flood plain.
Councilmember Sally Hall commented that she feels we have an
obligation as a city to provide the information on the plat. Mrs.

dead, however, in the future, we can come back and buy the right of'
way, or work with the homeowners association at the time.

Karen Gandy, Zoning Administrator, noted this plat includes 134
lots and SouthRidge Parkway will be realigned as a 60' right of way
with 400' radius. Alternate "B", was presented to the P&Z on
March 31, 1991, and the P&Z recommended approval with conditions,
including honoring the commitment of $100,000 for improvement to
North Peytonville Avenue.
Gandy noted that this plat has been through a number of tablings
until the City Thoroughfare Plan Study was complete.
Mayor Fickes commented that during the last City Council meeting,
the consultants gave a preliminary review of information in regards
to this area of the city on the Thoroughfare Plan Study.
Mayor Pro Tem Wilhelm stated several of the Councllmembers
attended a meeting last week on various aspects of the area of
Peytonville Avenue and FM 1709 to Raven Bend, and also the
improvements on SouthRidge Parkway. The consultants were present,
and hopefully the people present went away with a lot more facts.
The two issues that the people kept bringing up, were safety and
the continuation of the private drives. No true conclusions were
arrived at. It is his understanding that Arvida may suggest
another plan whlch may or may not be acceptable.
Bruce Smith, 111 SouthRidge Parkway. Their company has always
prided themselves on their consistancy. They feel they have been
consistent. He quoted from the minutes of May 23, 1989 P&Z
minutes.
The twenty foot, private drives are working. A two lane road with
no private drives meets the twenty year plan. They are proposing a
31' road with private drives on every lot that faces the parkway.
They feel that meets the fifty (50) year projection. He feels they
have more than adequately planned for future capacity.
Gene Femtano, 309 SouthRidge Parkway, Southlake. Mr. Femiano
stated most of the homeowners in Arvida support this new plan (the
road as layed out with private drives).

Mayor Fickes stated he was at the meeting of March, 1989. He knows
the Council at that time, felt the road would be where it is and
that the traffic would go through the subdivision and not go on
"Old Peytonville". He feels it is important that the people who
live in the subdivision know what the intent was.
Wendall Uldrick, 1000 Raven Bend Court, Southlake. Mr. Uldrick
asked Council if they feel that North Peytonville needs to be
reworked, if so at what cost. Mr. Barnes commented in regards to
the costs involved with and without Tarrant County participation.
Ken MacMorran, 1202 Sabine Court, Southlake. Mr. MacMorran feels the
County should solve the problems of today and not worry about what
happened yesterday. He feels both roadways will have to .deal with
traffic.
Fred Joyce, 544 Randol Mill Road, Southlake. Mr. Joyce does not
have a problem with the alignment. He feels nothing has been
worked out in regard to the strip he owns with a 30' easement on it.

Councilmember Jerry Farrier commented by stating he looks very
dimly on a change of this size. They have made marvelous
improvements with this new proposal, to address some of the
intent items. He is not sure we are there yet. Their
intentions to continue the private drives is a great
stride. He is not sure that this standing by itself is better
for the total citizenry than the original deal. Council
changed the game plan somewhat when they did not continue
SouthRidge Parkway to the south as a major thoroughfare.
The City has now paid for a traffic study and the number that
is foremost in his mind is the 9,400 car
total. If there is going to be an error, it will be an error
on the low side. 8,000 to 10,000 cars is the break point to
go to four lanes. The advent of private drives does not
diminish the traffic count in anlrway, therefore, he believes
that any parkway should have to have that potentiality to
keep that number down.
Councilmember Barry Emerson questioned the traffic
consultants. He asked the amount of traffic on Peytonville
and SouthRidge Parkway. Mike Monroe replied, about 10% or
less would be through traffic. The numbers there are
generated by homes in those subdivisions. How does what
Arvida is proposing coincide with what the traffic study
shows? Monroe stated it matches quite well. Emerson replied
to a comment from Greg Jones in regard to the street going
through to the south by stating that Council created an
intersection but the street doesn't go through to the south
of FM 1709.
Councilmember Ralph Evans stated that the numbers in the study
may be valid, however, if a study for FM 1709 would have been
made in 1965, what would they have projected for the numbers
in 1985. He stated he is sure it wouldn't be what is
happening today. He feels we are giving up something
here that the developer agreed to do. He feels the City
Council is loosing integrity by not going ahead with the
original plan.
Mayor Pro Tem Wilhelm stated that the City has changed it's
course.
He does not feel the traffic is going to be there from
the low density area to the south. The issue that he
raised, purposely at the meeting is, if they required the
developer to go ahead with the four lanes, is it fair for the
city not to go ahead with the four lanes, from Raven Bend, to
Dove. The numbers do not show a need for that.
