Willie Mae Carter, Rt 5 Box 39A, West Beach Addition. Ms. Carter

1991 review summary and other items as listed in the P&Z minutes of
June 20, 1991.
Fred Joyce, 455 Randol Mill Road, Southlake. Mr. Joyce stated he
is an owner of a portion of the proposed addition, adding that the
property has been in the family for twenty-six (26) years. He
sited the reason for the development being planned at this time is
to sell the property with the proceeds going toward taxes. The
owners look at the Goode Airport as being the most serious
problem. The other problem associated with the property is sewer.
Public Hearinq
Marty Morgan, 1349 LakeView, Southlake. Mr. Morgan stated his
family is the original developer of Cross Timber Hills. He
feels by approving this development, would be setting precedent for
tract builders to come in and develop when you reduce the lot sizes
and lot prices. He appreciates some of the problems with the air
field, however, Council needs to keep the lot sizes up. People
come to Southlake for more room. As a builder, he would like to
see consistancy.
Jim Martin, 894 Randol Mill Road, Southlake. Mr. Martin is
interested in sewer and drainage. There is a big problem in the
Randol Mill area, with a lot of water that isn't needed.

Aqenda Item #8-C, Continued
John Gerkin, 1386 LakeView, Southlake. Mr. Gerkin stated he has
some concerns. Mr. Joyce came to his home to try and work out
those concerns. He is trying to take an interest and he wants to
know what "PUD" means. He stated he was lectured in P&Z meeting by
Joe Wright, about a "concept" plan. He does not know how to get
comfortable with this concept and he does not know what it does for
him and for the community. He feels there is some work that needs
to be done on this property. He feels this meets the minimum
standards for a PUD and it is not consistent with the way Southlake
is developing.
Donna Baker, 1335 Meadow Glen, Southlake. Mrs. Baker stated she
feels the subdivision should start at one (1) acre lots and go in
ward with smaller lots. She is also concerned about the roads.
Dr. Robert Pollard, 508 San Juan Court, Irving. Dr. Pollard owns a
ten (10) acre tract of land on Peytonville Avenue. He wants to
live in Southlake the rest of his life because it is near the
hospitals where he works. He asked City Council to award him the
same concessions as those in Cross Timber Hills. He feels that PUD
is not for this property. Single Family-20 is far more appropriate
for this addition. If the PUD is approved, he asked City Council
to increase the lot sizes.
Dave Steele, 1369 Cross Timber Hills, Southlake. Mr. Steele is
concerned with the direction he sees with this new development. It
is a matter of economics. He asked for a vote against PUD.
Public Hearing Closed.
Mayor Fickes asked Mr. Joyce to do some more work on the lot sizes,
implementing the community concerns.
Fred Joyce asked that this agenda item be tabled for two weeks so
they can do more work on the plan. They have not tried to slight
the process, and are willing to try and implement the citizens
concerns on this proposed subdivision.
Mayor Pro Tem Wilhelm listed some of his concerns, so that Mr.
Joyce will have some idea of what is expected of him.
Buffer area with Cross Timber Hills, the Ordinance
requires 30,000 square feet.
b) Minimum lot size 15,000 square feet.
c) Development site plan is the answer as City Council can
see what they will get with the ultimate development.

Rear yard set backs going down to 25' A development site

give the owners more time.

Aqenda Item #8-D, Ordinance No. 480-53, 1st readinq (ZA 91-36)
Ordinance No. 480-53 is a zoning change request for 0.48 acre out
of the Francis Throop Survey, Abstract No. 1511, Tract 4B1.
Current zoning is "C-2" Commercial-2, with a request for "SF-20B"
Single Family-20B Residential Zoning District. Owner/applicant is
Jerre H. Harrell.
Karen Gandy, Zoning Administrator, noted that the applicant has had
her property up for sale for a year with no responses. On June 20,
1991 the Planning and Zoning Commission did recommend approval of
this request, by a 7-0 vote. Mrs. Herrell stated she has plans to
do some internal remodeling which will not change the outside of
the structure in anyway. There is an existing septic system on the
property which is operational.
Mayor Pro Tem Wilhelm stated it is his understanding that this is
an existing use and therefore, has an existing septic system on the
property and that the rezoning of the property into an SF-20, is
not to create a precedent for any other new SF-20 zoning's that are
not currently being used at the time for some other use.
The public hearing resulted with no comments from the audience.
