notices were sent to property owners within the 200' notification area, and one (1) response was
received and was in favor.
Vice-Chairman Murphy asked staffto explain Item #6 (40' right-of-way reservation). Ms. Sarakaitis
stated that the preliminary plat for this property was approved by City Council with a 40' R.O.W.
reservation which sparked the Village Center East Circulation Study. She stated that since the
R.O.W. reservation was a part of the motion for the preliminary plat, it will be required that the Site
Plan be approved with the R.O.W. reservation removed.
Tom Wouters (Realty Capital Corporation) 920 S. Main Street, Suite 170, Southlake, Texas,
presented this item to the Commission. He asked for variances to the following items: Item #4b
(Lot 3 west and south bufferyards are short, but he will relocate the required plantings); Item #4c
(Lot 4 north and west bufferyards are short, but he will relocate the required plantings and stated
that he will meet the east bufferyard for Lot 4); Item #6 (he requested that the R.O.W. reservation
be removed); Item #15a (he asked the Commission to approve the articulation as shown on the
south facade of Building 9, but he will meet all of the other deficiencies in the articulation); and
Item #19 (he stated that due to the slope of the property, he is concerned about placing a 6' trail
as required).
Commissioner Jones asked if staff has any comments about the 40' R.O.W. reservation. Planner
Dennis Killough stated that if the finalization of the Village Center East Circulation Study does
not require it, then there would be no need to have the reservation there. He stated that staff
asked the applicant to table his Final Plat (ZA98-018) to allow City Council time to finalize the
Circulation Study.
Chairman Wright opened the public hearing.
Dick Shanklin, 2627 E. Southlake Boulevard, Southlake, Texas, stated that he is in favor of this
request.
Chairman Wright closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Creighton stated that she feels strongly regarding the benefits of a sidewalk on this
property. She asked if anyone had any suggestions on how a sidewalk could be built in a safe
manner.
Planner Dennis Killough stated that the applicant could install retaining walls or locate the sidewalk
further back on the property and provide a pedestrian access easement on the front. He stated that
the grades will need to be looked at and the appropriate engineering done to make it safe and meet
the City's standards.
Commissioner LeVrier stated that this problem is going to exist on the entire south side of F.M. 1709
in that area. He stated that the trail should have been placed on the north side of F.M. 1709 where
the topography lends itself to that type of sidewalk.

Mr. Killough stated that since the Master Trail Plan does not indicate on which side of F.M. 1709
the trail belongs, it will be required on both sides of F.M. 1709.
Chairman Wright stated that he remembers from the Master Trail Plan discussion, that a 6' trail was
intended for one side only.
Vice-Chairman Murphy agreed with Chairman Wright regarding the intent of the trail discussion.
He specifically recalls the trail being on the same side as Village Center West.
Commissioner Creighton stated that she would like to hear from the City Attorney how the trail plan
interacts with the sidewalk ordinance.
Pamela Muller, 214 Westwood Drive, $outhlake, Texas, stated that she was on the City Council
when the Master Trail Plan was adopted and stated that the trail was shown on the north side of F.M.
1709 through Village Center West. She agreed with Chairman Wright by saying that it was never
intended to have a trail on both sides of the road.
Motion was made to approve ZA98-017, subject to Site Plan Review Summary No. 1, dated March
13, 1998, accepting the bufferyards as shown, but requiring the applicant to relocate the required
plantings elsewhere on the site; deleting Item #6 and allowing elimination on Final Plat if not
needed; requiring a 4' sidewalk and recommending the trail to be on north side ofF. M. 1709; and
accepting articulation as shown on south facade of Building 9.
