Regarding Item #1d, Director Last asked the Commission to grant the applicant and the staff the
ability to work together to come up with the best solution to move the R.O.W. due to the large
transmission line. Regarding Item #8, he stated that the existing home in this subdivision already
has access to Dove Road and should continue to have access to Dove Road and suggested deleting
this item.
David McMahan (Four Peaks Development, Inc.) 1335 Hidden Glen, Southlake, Texas, presented
this item to the Commission. He asked to delete Items #la (two planned points of access); #lb
(1,000 feet cul-de-sac length); #1d (R.O.W. dedication for East Dove Road); #4c (100' lot width);
#4e (perpendicular or radial lot lines); #4g (40' building setback line); and #8 (driveway access on
East Dove Road). He said that the name, SheltonWood Court, is being changed to BellWood Court.
Mr. McMahan also asked for a variance to the Subdivision Ordinance to allow him the ability to gate
this community from the hours of 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. He stated that this will be a very exclusive
neighborhood with the lots being sold at an average of $150,000 per lot and the homes being
typically 4 ½ to 6 times the lot value.
Director Last stated that on the plan as submitted, there is no representation of Mr. McMahan's
desire for this community to be gated or private. He stated that there is no review comment to that
effect since it is not shown on the plan.
Chairman Creighton opened the Public Hearing.
Pamela Muller, 214 Westwood Drive, Southlake, Texas, stated that she was on the City Council
when they passed the ordinance prohibiting gated communities. She said they found the gates to be
"non-community" and that Southlake is very similar in all of its' residential areas. She stated that
if these gates are allowed, then the City must be prepared for many other approved plats coming
back for approval on gates, also.
Peter Rue, 2525 Ridgecrest, Southlake, Texas, stated that he lives west and adjacent to this property
and asked when and where he would connect to the sewer system. He stated that he was told by the
City that he would connect to the sewer through this new neighborhood. He stated that he is in favor
of this development.
Deputy Director of Public Works Charlie Thomas stated that when his department reviews the utility
plans for this project, they will take the adjacent properties into account.
Roger Hurlbut (Attorney for Wendel and Terri Burton, 1021 Quail Run) 4025 Woodland Park
Boulevard Suite 190, Arlington, Texas, stated that his clients want the Commission to be aware of
the existing pond on Lot 5 which overflows and affects surrounding developments. He asked that
a drainage study be completed on this property.

John Shelton stated that the drainage problem was corrected about two (2) years ago. He stated that
there were three (3) underground culverts put in the dam of the pond. He stated that the water never
reaches more than two feet (2') deep in the pond. He said this is not a current problem.
Peter Rue said that there has been a spillway placed on the south end of the dam and said it will not
flow to the north anymore.
Chairman Creighton closed the Public Hearing.
(Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, 07-23-98, tape 1, section #3264)
Commissioner Peebles asked how the Commission should address the issue of the gates. Since it
is not shown on the plans, he asked if the applicant has appropriately notified the community of his
intention to gate this development. City Attorney Debra Drayovitch stated that it is okay to go ahead
and act on this request tonight.
Commissioner LeVrier asked Mr. McMahan if it would be a "deal-breaker" if this development was
not promoted as a gated community. Mr. McMahan stated that it would not be a "deal-breaker."
Mr. McMahan stated that it was presented as a gated community at the SPIN meeting.
Tom Matthews (Four Peaks Development, Inc.) 9237 Frenchman's Way, Dallas, Texas, stated that
he attended the SPIN meeting and addressed the issue of this development being gated. He stated
that there were no objections voiced regarding the gates.
Vice-Chairman Murphy stated that he does not feel strongly one way or the other about the gates.
He pointed out that the Commission is dealing with plat issues tonight, and he feels the issue of gates
is more a question of policy with the City Council.
Commissioner Peebles stated that he does not want to dictate policy to the City Council, but that the
City Council has previously decided to exclude gated communities, so we should refuse this request.
Commissioner LeVrier stated he could go either way regarding the gated community. He stated that
he will go with the rest of the Commission on that issue.
Motion was made to approve ZA 98-074, subject to Revised Plat Review No. 1, dated July 20, 1998,
denying the applicant's oral request for a gated entrance presented to the Commission tonight;
deleting Items #la (two planned points of access) and #lb (1,000 feet cul-de-sac length); granting
the flexibility of the applicant to work with the staff regarding the required R.O.W. on Item #1d;
deleting Items #4c (100' lot width), #4e (perpendicular or radial lot lines), and g4g (40' building
setback); accepting the applicant's request to change the name SheltonWood Court to BellWood
Court; and deleting Item #8 (driveway access to East Dove Road).

Cabinet A, Slide 2791, Plat Records, Tarrant County, Texas, and being approximately 31.412 acres.
The property is located on the east side of Ridgecrest Drive approximately 600' south of the
intersection of Ridgecrest Drive and Woodland Drive. The Current Zoning is "AG" Agricultural
District and "SF-1A" Single Family Residential District. The Land Use Category is Low Density
Residential. The Owners of the property are Anthony and Jo Ann Scamardo, and Larry Cole
Investments. The Applicant is Larry Cole Investments. Fourteen (14) written notices were sent to
property owners within the 200' notification area, and one (1) response was received which was
opposed.
John Levitt, 726 Commerce, Suite 104, Southlake, Texas, presented this item to the Commission.
He stated that due to staff's recommendation, the plat name has been changed to Loch Meadow
Estates and the street has been changed to Loch Meadow Court. He asked for variances to Items #7b
(100' lot width) and #9b (1000' maximum length of cul-de-sac).
Commissioner Peebles asked Mr. Levitt if he could curve the northern part of Wildwood Court. Mr.
Levitt stated that he really cannot shift the street much because they are tied into the 572 flowage
easement from the Corps. of Engineers and Lake Grapevine, and they are trying to keep buildable
areas on the west lots. After further evaluation, Mr. Levitt stated that he could probably curve the
street to the east approximately 20' somewhere between Lots 9 and 13.
Director Last asked the Commission to make the following amendments to Plat Review Summary
No. 1, dated July 17, 1998: Item #5h (lO'width); Item #7b (Lot 3 - IO0'building line); amending
Item #5d to require the relocation of the drainage and utility easement between Lots 9 and 10 to

residential lots or designate it as a common area with a lot number).
Chairman Creighton opened the Public Hearing. No one in the audience stepped forward to speak.
Chairman Creighton closed the Public Heating.
Commissioner Peebles asked Mr. Levitt if he could move the street 25' to the east to create a curve
in it. Mr. Levitt stated that it is something they will need to evaluate. He stated that will add a curve
somewhere between Lots 9 and 10 and the end of the cul-de-sac. Mr. Levitt stated that he believes
they can get 20', but not 25'. Commissioner Peebles stated he would like to require 25' in the motion,
and Mr. Levitt will have time to change his plans before City Council and if he absolutely cannot
get the 25', then City Council can revise the motion.
Motion was made to approve ZA 98-076 subject to Plat Review Summary No. 1, dated July 17,
1998, modifying Item #5d requiring the sanitary sewer line, the drainage easement, and the public
access easement be moved to the southeast comer; amending Item #5h from 10" to 10'; deleting Item

AGENDA ITEM #14. ZA 98-078. PLAT REVISION FOR THE PROPOSED TIMARRON
ADDITION- VILLAGE 'H' -PHASE lB:
Comprehensive Planner Stefanie Sarakaitis informed the Commission that this request is for a Plat
Revision for the proposed Timarron Addition - Village H - Phase lB, being a revision of Lots 2 and
3 of Plum Creek Manor, an addition to the City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas, according to
the plat recorded in Volume 388-161, Page 17, Plat Records, Tarrant County, Texas, and being a
portion of Tract 1 situated in the Bamett& Hollingsworth Survey, Abstract No. 797, and a portion
of Tract 1D situated in the John N. Gibson Survey, Abstract No. 591, and being approximately 6.659
acres. The property is located on the south side of East Continental Boulevard at the intersection of
Old Carroll Road and East Continental Boulevard. The Current Zoning is "R-PUD" Residential
Planned Unit Development District. The Land Use Category is Low Density Residential. The
Owner and Applicant is Westerra - Timarron, L.P. Nine (9) written notices were sent to property
owners within the 200' notification area, and one (1) response was received which was opposed.
Richard Payne (Carter and Burgess) 7950 Elmbrook Drive, Suite250, Dallas, Texas, presented this
item to the Commission. He stated that they agree with all Staff Review Comments.
Chairman Creighton opened the Public Heating.
Bill,lennings, 1199 East Continental Boulevard, Southlake, Texas, stated that Carter and Burgess'
engineers told him that the water coming offofthis property to his property will be less than 1% of
water that he is currently receiving. He said he is currently receiving water from Timarron's
property across Continental Boulevard. He stated that Timarron's contractors have torn down one
of his fences. He stated that Timarron raised the grade of their property by 4'. He stated that he has
discussed trading some his land for some of Timarron's land.
Director Last clarified that 1% of Timarron's property is what goes to Mr. Jermings' property, not
there will be a 1% change in the drainage that goes to his property. Director Last said the entirety
of Mr. Jennings' watershed drains south, but the majority of the drainage going through Mr.
Jennings' property is coming from north of Continental Boulevard.
Deputy Director of Public Works Charlie Thomas stated that this plat being looked at tonight is no
different than the existing plat that exists currently. He said it is the same plat as far as drainage
issues, etc.

Commissioner Shankland asked where Versailles' water currently drains. Mr. Thomas stated that
it comes through a box culvert on the north side of Continental Boulevard, crosses under Continental
Boulevard, and flows into the channel on the south side of Continental Boulevard.
Commissioner Jones asked Mr. Jennings if he has drainage concerns regarding the plat before the
Commission tonight. Mr. Jennings stated that he is willing to accept the 1% of water the engineer
told him about, but said he has doubts about that amount.
Mr. Payne stated that the current design of Lot 20 shows it being raised by 1', not 4', above natural
ground.
Chairman Creighton asked what happened to the 4' of fill that Mr. Jennings spoke of.
Mr. Payne stated that, initially, it was raised 4' in order to drain into the street, Barlow Bend. He said
that after meeting with Mr. Jennings and understanding his concerns, Lot 20 will now drain to the
west and to the creek and the grade of Lot 20 will be reduced.
Chairman Creighton told Mr. Jennings that unfortunately the Commission cannot address problems
with plats previously approved, but they can address any impact this plat has on his property.
Mr. Payne stated that they can place a swale on the west side of Lot 20 which will direct the water
south and away from Mr. Jennings' property.
Keith Turner, 1027 East Continental Boulevard, $outhlake, Texas, stated that Mr. Jennings' property
is now 3' lower than the surrounding property. He said if Mr. Payne is wrong about the 1% drainage
issue, then Mr. Jennings will bare the bulk of the problem. He stated that Timarron has raised the
property to the east by 4'.
Commissioner Shankland asked if there is some sort of land swap being discussed that might ease
Mr. Jennings' concems. Mr. Payne stated that Mr. Jennings had brought up the issue, and he (Mr.
Payne) passed that along to Steve Yetts.
(Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, 07-23-98, tape 1, section #7283)
Vice-Chairman Murphy questioned that if the Commission gave them a little more time to work on
this land swap, if there might be a different outcome.
Commissioner Peebles stated that he is afraid Mr. Jennings will lose his leverage if the Commission
approves this Plat Revision.
Mr. Payne stated that he understands the Commission to be saying, if the land swap is not valid, then
the City is willing to force Timarron into swapping land with an adjacent property owner. Mr. Payne
stated that the land swap is between Steve Yetts and Mr. Jennings.

Commissioner Shanldand stated that the feeling he gets tonight is that Timarron is willing to bend
over backwards to help and to relieve the situation.
Commissioner Jones stated that it does not appear this development is causing the problems for Mr.
Jennings. He does not think the Commission can hold this development responsible for drainage
coming off of Versailles and Wyndsor Creek.
Vice-Chairman Murphy said he understood the land swap had more to do with the fence being tom
down and the fill that was placed on Mr. Jeunings' property, than it had to do with the affect it had
on the drainage.
Mr. Payne suggested placing a swale on the west side of Lot 20 and directing water south to a Y-
inlet and into the 20' drainage easement on Lot 13.
Commissioner Jones stated that the box culvert on Continental Boulevard is not part of this request
tonight. He said the Commission cannot hold Timarron's feet to the fire on something that has
nothing to do with this development.
Commissioner Shankland stated that the Commission is trying to do their best to help Mr. Jermings.
He said he appreciates Timarron's willingness to go the extra mile.
Mr. Payne stated that if the only outstanding issue is the minor amount of water Timarron has
draining onto Mr. Jeunings' property, then there are engineering solutions to avoid that.
Commissioner Peebles asked Mr. Payne to consider tabling this item and in the meantime, work on
the engineering solutions and/or the land swap with Mr. Jeunings.
Mr. Payne stated that he would like to keep the land swap completely separate from these
discussions. He said if the land swap works out, fine, but if it does not, he does not want it to be a
tool to hold up this plat.
Chairman Creighton asked Mr. Payne if he is willing to table.
Mr. Payne stated that he does not see a reason to table since they have approved construction plans,
and he can come up with a solution to help resolve the drainage that Mr. Jeunings is seeing coming
from this property. He would like to proceed forward.
Commissioner LeVrier asked if Mr. Payne can commit to there being no drainage off of Lot 20 onto
Mr. Jeunings' property. Mr. Payne stated that he will commit.
Commissioner Shankland asked Mr. Thomas if he is confidant that Mr. Payne can accomplish these
goals, and Mr. Thomas stated that he has no problem with Mr. Payne being able to do it.
Chairman Creighton closed the Public Hearing.

AGENDA ITEM #15. ZA 98-080. PLAT REVISION FOR THE PROPOSED LOTS 4R1.4R2.
AND 4R3. J. G. ALLEN NO. 18 ADDITION:
Comprehensive Planner Stefanie Sarakaitis informed the Commission that this request is for a Plat
Revision for the proposed Lots 4R1, 4R2, and 4R3, J. G. Allen No. 18 Addition, being a revision
of Lot 4, J.G. Allen No. 18 Addition, an addition to the City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas,
according to the plat recorded in Cabinet A, Slide 1253, Plat Records, Tarrant County, Texas, and
being approximately 4.297 acres. The property is located on the northwest comer of the intersection
of West Southlake Boulevard (F.M. 1709) and Randol Mill Avenue. The Current Zoning is "C-3"
General Commercial District. The Land Use Category is Retail Commemial and 100 Year Flood
Plain. The Owner of the property is James H. Martin. The Applicant is Mark Cox. Two (2) written
notices were sent to property owners within the 200' notification area, and no responses were
received.
Director Last stated that the Commission needs to add an Item #17 which reads, "Provide a 56'
R.O.W. reservation along the east portion of the property to accommodate future expansion plans
of F.M. 1938 and to relocate the 50' building line from this reservation line."
James Martin presented this item to the Commission. He stated that he does not have any
problems with the Staff Review Comments. He stated that the reservation does not worry him
too much, because there is no way he would build anything in that area anyway.
Commissioner Peebles asked Mr. Martin why he is proposing this change.
Director Last stated that it is to accommodate Mark Cox's Veterinary Clinic (Lot 4R1) on the
southwest comer of the property which was approved several week ago. Director Last stated that
Mr. Martin illegally sold the southeast comer (Lot 4R3) which has a convenience store currently
there.
Chairman Creighton opened the Public Hearing. No one in the audience stepped forward to speak.
