to the Commission. He asked for exception to StaffComment #6 which addresses the alignment of
East Perry Circle and West Perry Circle with "Street A"; he asked to leave the location of"Street A"
as it is shown. Mr. Yetts stated that several residents have expressed their concerns to him regarding
the safety of the connection of "Street A" and Longford Drive. He presented a plan to reconfigure
"Street A" and stated that this new plan had not been reviewed by City staff.
Commissioner Edmondson stated that she is very concerned about this development's proximity to
Metro Pool which stores chlorine gas on-site. Mr. Yetts stated that Westerra - Timarron, L.P., does
not own Metro Pool, so he does not know what he can do to remedy the situation.
Vice-Chairman Murphy opened the public hearing.
Brian Bazar, 1127 Long, ford Circle, Southlake, Texas, stated that he owns the house at the
intersection of Longford Drive and "Street A." He stated that he is very concerned about the safety

Tim Kirst, 808 Longford Drive, Southlake, Texas, stated that he is very pleased with the change in
the configuration of "Street A" and asked the Commission to approve this application.
Bret Boren stated his confusion with the amount of right-of-way (R.O.W.) needed for Old Carroll
Road. He stated that there appears to be some discrepancy between his property and the Timarron -
Wyndsor Creek, Phase II, property. He stated that he is more than happy to give what property is
needed if the City intends to improve the road, but he does not want to dedicate property and just
have it sit there with no improvements.
Planner Dennis Killough stated that Old Carroll Road was shown as 70' R.O.W. on the previous
Master Thoroughfare Plan (M.T.P.). He stated that section of Carroll Avenue is no longer
designated on the M.T.P. since it has been updated. Mr. Killough stated that due to the nature of Old
Carroll Road, the City would require 60' R.O.W.
City Attomey Wayne Olson stated that when the next item comes up, the Preliminary Plat for this
property, the City needs to require dedication of whatever amount of R.O.W. needed for Old Carroll
Road. Mr. Olson stated that Mr. Boren's property and any dedication required of it is another issue
for another day.

does not know how the Commission would put it into a motion this evening.

R.O.W. is needed; he suggested to dedicate R.O.W. as determined by the City Engineer.

problems is found.
L.D. Tucker, 3300 Gray Lane, Southlake, Texas, stated that his property is probably the most
affected property in the area. He said that the City is not maintaining the drainage easement along
the north side of his property. He asked that the Commission deny this application until something
is done to resolve the drainage problems.
George Goebel, 3110 Gray Lane, Southlake, Texas, asked that the City address the drainage
problems in this area.
Bert Poulin, 345 3~ Pearson Lane, Southlake, Texas, stated his concern about the drainage on the
back of his property. He would like to see a drainage plan before this application is approved.
Wayne Lee, 3220 W. Southlake Boulevard, Southlake, Texas, stated that there are about eighteen (18)
acres in this drainage basin and his property only covers about six (6) acres; he said that most of it
is Keller I.S.D. He said the City of Southlake is possibly going to purchase the school's property,
and he has been working with them to see if they would incorporate some detention ponds into the
school's property. He stated that the drainage easement that is currently behind some home on Gray
Lane is already there and should be maintained by the City of Southlake.
Chairman Wright closed the public hearing.
Staff Engineer Angela Tumer stated that Public Works Department is currently researching the
problems with the drainage easement behind the homes on Gray Lane. When the City receives
detailed construction plans, she stated that City staff will work with the engineers on this project to
make sure the culverts are properly sized, etc.
City Manager Curtis Hawk stated that what were at one time 35' drainage easements do not appear
to be 35' drainage easements now. He said that if those easements have been filled in over time, then
they do need to be cleaned out in order to handle the water as intended. He said that there may be
some problems that need to be addressed with individual property owners, but there is no way to
know at this time.
Commissioner Edmondson asked Ms. Turner if she has walked this area and looked at the drainage
easement. Ms. Turner stated that she did go out and walk the area with Mr. Poulin.
Commissioner LeVrier stated that he wants to see this development become a part of the overall
drainage solution and that it is identified before this case proceeds any further.
Commissioners Edmondson and Creighton agreed with Commissioner LeVrier that they do not want
to sign off on the plat before the drainage solutions are found.

Mr. Lee stated that if the Commission stops him at the preliminary plat stage, then he cannot move
forward at all. He stated that he is currently working with the City and with the Parks Department
to get the drainage problems resolved.
Commissioner Jones stated that with this development, the City has the opportunity to fix the
problem; without it, the City is back to square one. He stated that if this developer walks away, the
City has one (1) less player to help solve the problem.
Chairman Wright stated that he does not have a problem moving forward with the preliminary plat,
with everyone having the knowledge that it will not go any further if the drainage issues are not
worked out.
Chairman Wright announced at 10:05 p.m. that the Commission would be going into Executive
Session.
The meeting was called back to order by Chairman Wright at 10:37 p.m., and he asked City Attomey

AGENDA ITEM #13. ZA 97-023. SITE PLAN OF CHEVRON. LOT 1. BLOCK 1. VILLAGE
CENTER:
Planner Chris Carpenter informed the Commission that this request is for a Site Plan of Chevron on
property described as Lot 1, Block 1, Village Center, and being approximately 0.934 acres situated
in the Thomas Mahan Survey, Abstract No. 1049. The property is located on the northeast comer
of the intersection of Village Center Drive and Southlake Boulevard (F.M. 1709). The current
zoning is "C-3" General Commercial District. The Land Use Category is Mixed Use. The Corridor
Recommendation is Village Center. The applicant is Chevron Products Company. The owner is T
& M Southlake Development. Six (6) written notices were sent to property owners within the 200'
notification area, and one (1) response was received which was in favor.
Don Walker (Chevron Products Company) 9150 Royal Lane, Suite 170, Irving, Texas, presented this
item to the Commission. Mr. Walker stated that he has no problems with any of the Staff Review
Comments.
Commissioner Edmondson asked Mr. Walker if this store will be open twenty-four (24) hours, and
he said that it would. She asked him what hours they are allowed to sell beer, and he said that he
thinks it is until midnight during the week and until 1:00 a.m. on the weekend.
Chairman Wright opened the public heating.
Patty Minder, 223 Eastwood Drive, Southlake, Texas, stated that she met with Mr. Silverman to
discuss this gas station and that the neighborhood still is of the opinion that Mr. Silverman lied to
them by telling them there would never be a gas station in Village Center. She said the
neighborhood would rather have a first-class restaurant on this pad site. She said they had a verbal
agreement with Mr. Silverman that there would not be a gas station. She asked that the Commission
make Mr. Silverman uphold his promise. Ms. Minder stated that the neighbors asked Mr. Silverman
to call Chevron and ask them to withdraw; Mr. Silverman told them that he did ask Chevron to
withdraw and they would not do it. She said that Chevron promotes drinking and driving by placing
single bottles of beer in ice next to the register. She said this intersection is already dangerous
without introducing alcohol into the picture. She asked the Commission to deny this request.
Dona Schroetke, 211 Eastwood Drive, Southlake, Texas, agreed with everything Ms. Minder said
previously. She wanted to let the Commission and everyone know how disappointed she is in Mr.
Silverman because he lied to her and her neighbors. She stated that she is disappointed in Chevron,
too, because they are moving forward with this application knowing full well the controversy
associated with this site. She stated that the initial concept plan of Village Center had a bank shown
on this pad site and questioned whether or not the Commission could hold Mr. Silverman to that
concept plan.
Chairman Wright closed the public heating.
Planner Dennis Killough stated that he evaluates lot sizes, building envelopes, and driveway
locations to determine substantial conformity of the site plan when compared to the concept plan.

AGENDA ITEM #14. ZA 97-024. SPECIFIC USE PERMIT (FOR THE SALE OF PACKAGED
BEER FOR OFF-PREMISE CONSUMPTION). LOT 1. BLOCK 1. VILLAGE CENTER:
Planner Chris Carpenter informed the Commission that this request is for a Specific Use Permit for
the sale of packaged beer for off-premise consumption for Chevron, per Zoning Ordinance No. 480,
Section 45.1 (1) and 45.6 (a and b) on property described as Lot 1, Block 1, Village Center, and
being approximately 0.934 acres situated in the Thomas Mahan Survey, Abstract No. 1049. The
property is located on the northeast comer of the intersection of Village Center Drive and Southlake
Boulevard (F.M. 1709). The current zoning is "C-3" General Commemial District. The Land Use
Category is Mixed Use. The Corridor Recommendation is Village Center. The applicant is Chevron
Products Company. The owner is T & M Southlake Development. Six (6) written notices were sent
to property owners within the 200' notification area, and one (1) response was received which was
in favor.
Don Walker (Chevron Products Company) 9150 Royal Lane, Suite 170, Irving, Texas, presented this
item to the Commission. Mr. Walker stated that he has no problems with any of the Staff Review
Comments.
Chairman Wright opened the public hearing.
Patty Minder, 223 Eastwood Drive, Southlake, Texas, asked the Commission to deny this request
for beer sales.
Chairman Wright closed the public heating.
Commissioner LeVrier asked the applicant what percentage his beer sales are of his total sales. Mr.
Walker stated that typically it is less than 5% of the overall sales for a particular site.
Commissioner Edmondson asked Mr. Walker if Chevron intends to sell single bottles and cans of
beer on ice next to the register. Mr. Walker stated that he is uncertain if this permit allows for that
sort of thing. He stated that he wants to be on equal footing with other stores in town; if they are
able to sell beer by the bottle, then he feels that this store should be able to, also.

The meeting was called to order by Chairman Wright at 7:07 p.m.
AGENDA ITEM #16. ZA 97-069. SITE PLAN FOR RETAIL EYECARE AND PROFESSIONAL
OFFICES FOR DR. WALLACE RYNE. D.O.:
Planner Chris Carpenter informed the Commission that this request is for a Site Plan of the proposed
Lots 12R1 and 12R2, Block 2, Diamond Circle Estates, on property legally described as being Lot
12, Block 2, Diamond Circle Estates, an addition to the City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas,
according to the plat recorded in Volume 388-177, Page 7, Plat Records, Tarrant County, Texas.
The property is located on the northeast comer of the intersection of East Southlake Boulevard (F.M.
1709) and Diamond Boulevard. The current zoning is "C-2" Local Retail Commercial District. The
Land Use Category is Mixed Use. The Corridor Recommendation is Residential. The owner is
Diamond I Ltd. The applicant is FDB Architects. Seven (7) written notices were sent to property
owners within the 200' notification area, and no responses were received.
Dr. Wallace Ryne, 809 Boston Drive, Southlake, Texas, and Fred Ballinger (FDB Architects) 1240
Southridge Court, Suite 101, Hurst, Texas, presented this item to the Commission. Dr. Ryne stated
that he personally met with the three (3) surrounding closest neighbors, and all are in favor of his
request. Mr. Ballinger stated that due to the width of the lot, he is asking for several variances. Mr.
Ballinger asked for a variance to Staff Comment Item #3a regarding the requirement of a 5' Type
A bufferyard along the east property line of Lot 12R2. Mr. Ballinger stated that he has obtained a
document for a common access easement between this lot and the lot to the east. He stated that he
cannot have a bufferyard on the east side if he has a common access easement. Mr. Ballinger asked
for a variance to Items #6a (driveway spacing) and #6b (driveway throat depth for stacking). He
stated that Lot 12R1 will not be developed until Dr. Ryne finds a suitable purchaser of that lot and
asked that Item #10a be waived at this time. Mr. Ballinger asked for the Commission to approve the
building articulation as presented and waive the requirements of Item #10c. He stated that due to
the covered parking being on the east side of the building, there is not much articulation that can be
accomplished on that side. He stated that the north wall of the building cannot be seen by the
residential properties or from Southlake Boulevard and asked that the articulation requirements and
the building setback requirements (Item #10c) be waived at this time.
Commissioner Creighton asked if the applicant considered placing one (1) muki-tenant building on
this site. Mr. Ballinger stated that it is too much site for one (1) building; Dr. Ryne does not need
that much building. Dr. Ryne stated that he does not want to be in the landlord business and that a
6,000 s.f. building would cost considerably more money. He stated that the way his loan is

structured, the bank will not loan him the money to build extra space to lease. He stated that he is
intending to sell Lot 12R1 with a contract stating that he has ultimate architectural control over the
type of building placed on that site. He stated that his building and equipment alone will cost him
approximately $810,000.00 and that it is in his best interest to see that a nice building goes in next
to him.
Chairman Wright asked City staff if a Site Plan for Lot 12R1 would need approval from the Planning
and Zoning Commission and from City Council. Community Development Director Greg Last
stated that Lot 12R1 would need Site Plan appmvai from the Planning and Zoning Commission and
from City Council in order to obtain a building permit. Mr. Last stated that it needs to be made clear
that there is no approval being given for Lot 12RI.
Commissioner LeVrier asked Dr. Ryne if he would be willing to eliminate the covered parking. Dr.
Ryne stated that he would be willing to remove the covered parking, but he thought it looked better
than having cars parked on Southlake Boulevard.
Commissioner Creighton asked, if the bufferyard requirement listed in Item #3a were deleted, if the
applicant would be willing to place the required plantings elsewhere on the site. Dr. Ryne stated that
he would be willing to plant them elsewhere.
Vice-Chairman Murphy stated that he is concerned about a precedent being set for other small lots
on Southlake Boulevard if the Commission allows so many variances on this application.
Mr. Ballinger stated that he would be willing to take 2' off the length of the covered parking garage
and add a 2' indention into the west wall in order to better meet the articulation requirements on the
west wall.
Commissioner Jones asked Mr. Ballinger if he would willing to angle the dumpster in order for it
not to face Southlake Boulevard, and Mr. Ballinger agreed to angle it as much as it possible.
Chairman Wright opened the public heating.
Jackie Humphrey stated she is very impressed with Dr. Ryne's proposal. She stated that she likes
the covered parking because it keeps the cars from view. She stated that she liked the fact that Dr.
Ryne is a Southlake resident and that the building will be owner occupied. She said she appreciated
the fact that he properly contacted the surrounding residents and showed them plans of what he
wants to do. She stated that she is Vice-President of the Diamond Circle Homeowners Association
and has spoken to many of the residents and no one has voiced any concerns to her about this
application. She stated that she thinks Dr. Ryne will be a good neighbor.
Chairman Wright closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Edmondson asked the applicant if he would be willing to reduce his lighting to 400-
watt metal halide lamps instead of 1,000-watt lamps, and Dr. Ryne agreed to evaluate the lighting.

Commissioner Creighton asked if the applicant would agree to one (1) monument sign instead of two
(2) separate signs. Dr. Ryne stated that he understands there is a setback requirement for each sign
but did agree to downsize the signs instead. He also agreed not to back-light the signs and possibly
even put the lights on timers to turn off at 10:00 p.m. Commissioner Creighton asked that the
applicant and City Council take another look at the sign issues on this site.
Motion was made to approve ZA97-069 subject to Revised Site Plan Review Summary No. 1 dated
July 10, 1997, deleting Item #3a (5' Type A bufferyard), but stipulating that the plantings will be
placed elsewhere on the site, and that the dumpster will be angled as to not be perpendicular with
Southlake Boulevard and permitting 2'-3' encroachment of the dumpster into the bufferyard; deleting
Items #6a (driveway spacing) and #6b (driveway throat depths); forgiving the articulation
requirements for the north and east walls; deleting Item # 11 (40' rear setback); acknowledging that
Item #10a (elevations on Lot 12R1) will be required at a later date; and acknowledging the
applicant's agreement to evaluate the lighting and use the minimum amount needed.

Family Residential District. The Land Use Category is Medium Density Residential. The owners
and applicants are Brandon and Charlotte Baker. Two (2) written notices were sent to property
owners within the 200' notification area, and no responses have been received.
Brandon Baker presented this item to the Commission.
Vice-Chairman Murphy asked City staff to clarify the intent of Staff Comment Item #1 lc (add
"Utility Easement" to the existing drainage easements). City Engineer Ron Harper stated that there
is an existing drainage easement down the center of Lot 1 and an existing utility easement on the rear
of Lot 1 which the applicant is requesting to abandon. Mr. Harper stated that it is an "either-or"
situation; either the Bakers can leave the easement on the back of Lot 1 and have two (2) separate
easements, or they can move it forward in conjunction with the existing drainage easement which
would unencumber 15' along the back of Lot 1.
Mr. Baker stated that his problem with the easement is that he has heard that the City is planning to
put a 12" sewer line down the middle of his property. Mr. Harper stated that the City has no plans
to place that sewer line any time soon, but it would be a logical location when they decide to do it.
Mr. Harper stated that the City hopes to eliminate the lift station on Stonebury's south property line
eventually.
Chairman Wright asked Mr. Baker which easement he would rather have, and Mr. Baker stated that
he does not want either one. Mr. Baker stated that he has been very generous on drainage easements
to the City of Southlake.
Chairman Wright opened the public hearing. No one in the audience stepped forward to speak.
Chairman Wright closed the public hearing.
Chairman Wright stated that he feels the applicant wins because he ends up with one (1) easement
instead of two (2). He suggested that the easement be labeled for "water, sewer, and drainage" only,
eliminating the possibility of telephone poles being run down the middle of the Baker's property.

Chairman Wright called the meeting back to order at 9:10 p.m.
Commissioner Jones had to leave the meeting to attend to personal business.
AGENDA ITEM #15. ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 480-Z. ESTABLISHING REGULATIONS
FOR GASOLINE SERVICE STATIONS (WITH OR WITHOUT CONVENIENCE STORES. CAR
WASHES AND OTHER RELATED ANCILLARY USES):
Chairman Wright announced at 9:10 p.m. that the Commission would be going into Executive
Session.
The meeting was called back to order by Chairman Wright at 9:25 p.m., and he asked City Attorney
Debra Drayovitch if any action was necessary as a result of the Executive Session. Ms. Drayovitch
stated that there was no action necessary.
Zoning Administrator Karen Gandy presented this item to the Commission and stated that the
Service Station Work Group recommends that service stations only be allowed in the "C-3" General
Commercial Zoning District with an S.U.P. She stated that any Corridor and underlying zoning
requirements will still be in place, but there are several additional items that the Work Group
suggested for evaluation of an application:
if the service station is on the F. M. 1709 Corridor, it should be located at a signalized,
arterial intersection;
if the service station is on the State Highway 114 Corridor, it would be permitted mid-block.
Ms. Gandy also brought up the issue of whether or not the City could prohibit service stations with/n
1,000' of a school and stated that the City Attorneys are researching that aspect.
Ms. Gandy also stated that it was the recommendation of the Work Group that any air and water
hoses at service stations be available to anyone who needs them and be free of charge.

Ms. Gandy stated that the Work Group recommended a minimum of 125' setback for the buildings,
canopies, and pump islands if the service station is adjacent to residential. She stated that the Work
Group did not want to make any changes on F.M. 1709, F.M. 1938, and State Highway 114,
regarding the minimum setback for buildings being 50', but allowing canopies to encroach into that
setback and still maintain a 25' setback from the right-of-way.
Vice-Chairman Murphy suggested restricting the hours of operation of the car wash when the site
is adjacent to residential.
Chairman Wright agreed with Vice-Chairman Murphy, but stated that he thinks the hours of
operation for the car wash should only be regulated within a certain distance from residential.
After discussion, the Commission agreed to the following statement: "The hours of any car wash
operation may be limited when adjacent to residentially-zoned property."
Chairman Wright stated that he thinks that car washes on F.M. 1709 should be required to have a
gabled or hipped roof as do convenience stores and canopies.
The Commission agreed to emphasize that the support columns of the canopy would also be of a
similar masonry material.
Commissioner LeVrier suggested that it be stated that the finish material of a car wash match the
building.
Commissioner Edmondson stated that the Corridor Overlay Study states that the use of standard,
concrete block shall be limited to 10% of any facade visible from any adjacent, public right-of-way.
She questioned if this statement would give applicants an opening to do the entire car wash in
concrete block; she was uncertain if this statement meant 10% of all buildings combined or 10% of
each building. Ms. Gandy stated that she would research which language would give us the same
building material.
Ms. Gandy stated that she is deleting service stations as a permitted use in the "C-I" and "C-2"
zoning districts. She stated that the minimum floor area for a convenience store is 2,000 s.f., the
minimum lease space within that store is 500 s.f., and any ancillary use or free-standing car wash
would have to be a minimum of 500 s.f.
Regarding lighting requirements, Chairman Wright suggested the following change:
"...Such lighting shall be designated to light the pump area adequately without becoming
an unnecessary nuisance to traffic or c~t':zcna' nearby property."
Regarding signage, Commissioner Creighton stated that she would also like to restrict service
stations on F.M. 1938 to one (1) monument sign, as are service stations on F.M. 1709. She also

stated that she would like to clean up the language to ensure that only one (1) monument sign is
allowed on all service station sites.
Commissioner Edmondson questioned whether or not the number of pumps could be limited.
Commissioner Edmondson asked whether or not this ordinance could require applicants to place
only double-walled fuel tanks, and Chairman Wright stated that he thinks that is a good idea but does
not think this ordinance is the place to state that requirement.
Commissioner Edmondson also stated that she would like to increase the landscaping requirements
and require seasonal color plantings. City Attorney Debra Drayovitch stated that she is unsure
whether the City could place more restrictive landscaping requirements on a particular type of use
and not on all commercial uses.
The Commission agreed to table this item to the July 17, 1997, Planning and Zoning Commission
meeting and to continue the Public Hearing.
