DavidMcMahan, 1335 Hidden Glen, Southlake, Texas, presented this item to the Commission. Mr.
McMahan asked the Commission to delete Staff Comment Items #1 la (provide curvilinear street
design as required) and #1 lb (provide separate street names for the proposed east-west right-of-way
to the east and west of the intersection of Comell Place and Wilmington Court). He stated that he
understands that the Commission cannot waive the requirements listed in Item #6 (minimum 35'
building setback) and Item #8 (minimum 10ft lot width) and stated that he intends to go to the
Zoning Board of Adjustment on those two (2) items. He stated he would like to move the homes
away from Continental Boulevard and away from the existing residential property to the north as
much as possible. He would also like to vary the distances somewhat to avoid a "runnel effect." He
asked that the Commission recommend that the Zoning Board of Adjustment favorably consider the
variance requests.
Chairman Wright opened the public hearing.
Carolyn Morris, 403 St. Charles, Southlake, Texas, asked what type of fencing will be on
Continental Boulevard.
Mr. McMahan stated that it will be a 6' wood fence with intermittent brick columns on an
approximately 2' tall berm.
Ms. Morris stated that a wood fence is inconsistent to the other fences along Continental Boulevard.
She thinks it should be some type of masonry.
Tom Zolesky, 806 Princeton Court, Southlake, Texas, agreed with Ms. Morris regarding the type of
fence. He asked that the plan be amended to include a brick fence. He stated that it will be great to
have single family dwellings on this particular comer.
Chairman Wright closed the public heating.
Commissioner Creighton stated that she agrees with Ms. Morris regarding the fence but feels that
residential is very desirable in this area and is the best use of this property. She stated that she would
hate to see this project jeopardized due to a fence issue.
Vice-Chairman Murphy asked City staff what type of fence is required on this property, and Planner
Dennis Killough stated that no fence is required at all.
Commissioner Jones stated that since no fence is required at all, the developer is going above and
beyond what is required.
Chairman Wright stated that the Commission has the ability to approve or deny the zoning, but they
do not have the ability to require a brick fence.
Motion was made to approve ZA 97-097, subject to Concept Plan Review Summary No. 1, dated
August 1, 1997, deleting Items #1 la (provide curvilinear street design as required) and #1 lb

AGENDA ITEM #12. ZA97-099. DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR SOUTHLAKE TOWN SOUARE:
Planner Chris Carpenter informed the Commission that this request is for a Development Plan for
Southlake Town Square, on property legally described as being approximately 41.045 acres situated
in the Richard Eads Survey, Abstract No. 481, and being all of Tract 3B, a portion of Tract 3, and
a portion of Tract 2A. The property is located north of East Southlake Boulevard (F.M. 1709), east
of North Carroll Avenue, and south of State Highway 114. The current zoning is "NR-PUD" Non-
Residential Planned Unit Development District to include "C-3" General Commercial District uses.
The Land Use Category is Mixed Use. The Corridor Recommendation is Village Center. The
Owner is THE FECHTEL GROUP with general partners: Alicia Marie Fechtel, Charles Joseph
Fechtel, Mary Louise Logan, John Randolph Fechtel, Marguerite Elizabeth Fechtel, James Milton
Fechtel, Lorrie W. Beck, Leslie W. Klingman, and Carol G. Peterka. The Applicant is Cooper &

depths for stacking). Regarding Item #5c, he stated that they may need to eliminate one (1) parking
space on Street 'C' in order to help alleviate problems with cars taming off of S outhlake Boulevard
onto Street 'C' and stated that he will consult with the City Engineer to determine if that is
necessary. Mr. Williams stated that they have met with Juergen Strunck regarding Item #5d
(proposed driveway alignment) and have determined a driveway alignment which is agreeable to Mr.
Strunck.
Vice-Chairman Murphy asked Mr. Williams to explain where a light is proposed on Southlake
Boulevard. Mr. Williams stated that they are proposing a light at Street 'B'. Mr. Bliss stated that
they have moved the light as far to the west as possible and have located the light where TxDOT
wants it. Mr. Bliss stated that at the Concept Plan level, they had extensive discussions regarding
placement of the light on Southlake Boulevard, and he was told that the signal location that was
originally proposed for the property to the south would not be accepted today by TxDOT.
Commissioner Jones asked if the parking along Street 'C' will be removed once the parking garages
are built or is it there for the duration, and Mr. Williams stated that it is there for the duration.
Chairman Wright opened the public hearing.
Juergen Strunck, 200 N. Carroll Avenue, Southlake, Texas, asked what will happen to his street
frontage that gets cut off as North Carroll Avenue is curved to meet South Carroll Avenue. He does
not know what is going to happen to his current street frontage once all of the changes take place.
He has talked to Mr. Stebbins, and he (Mr. Stebbins) says it is a City issue and when he asks the
City, they tell him to talk to Mr. Stebbins. Mr. Strunck stated that there are several large oak trees
northeast of his property on the Fechtel's property, and he asked Mr. Stebbins and the City to retain
these trees in an island once Carroll Avenue is developed. He stated if that would require giving up
20' or so of bufferyard directly in front of his property, he would be willing to do that. Mr. Strunck
stated that he does not agree with the streets in this development being asphalt. He stated that the
temperature in Southlake stays too hot for too long to put in asphalt streets. He stated that he wanted
to say publicly that Mr. Stebbins and his staff have been very cooperative in answering his questions,
and he appreciated that very much.
Bill Dalton, 6238 Preston Shire Lane, Dallas, Texas, stated that he wanted to express his strong
opposition regarding the placement of the light on Southlake Boulevard. He would like to see the
light moved further to the west in order to align with the proposed service driveway for his property
on the south side of Southlake Boulevard.
Commissioner Jones asked City staff if the proposed light at Street 'B' will service both sides of
Southlake Boulevard. Planner Dennis Killough stated that it probably does not service both sides
as it is proposed; he stated that an ingress/egress easement would probably need to be granted on the
property to the east of Mr. Dalton's property in order to meet up with the light.

Mr. Dalton stated that he could live with the recommendation of the engineering firm that the City
of Southlake has hired to study the placement of lights on Southlake Boulevard. He asked that they
study the placement of lights at the Southlake Town Square.
Commissioner LeVrier asked how close Mr. Dalton's driveway can be to the light proposed at Street
'B'. Mr. Killough stated that the Driveway Ordinance does not address driveways across the street.
Commissioner Jones stated that the approved full access driveway on Mr. Dalton's property appears
to be taking traffic directly out into traffic which will be stopping for the proposed light at Street 'B'.
Chairman Wright asked Mr. Williams if he had any suggestions as to the discussion regarding the
light.
Staff Engineer Angela Turner stated that the light will need to be placed where TxDOT wants it and
right now it is placed about halfway between the light at Carroll Avenue and the light at Village
Center Drive, which is what TxDOT prefers. In addition, she stated that Street 'B' is proposed to
be a through street to State Highway 114, which is also what TxDOT prefers for lights.
During the planning process, Mr. Bliss stated that they were keenly aware of the concept plan across
the street from them, and that they have pushed Street 'B' as far as possible to the west. Mr. Bliss
stated that it is their understanding that the Dalton property needs to work with the owner of the
property to the east to obtain an easement so that they could adjoin with the light.
Chairman Wright closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Creighton asked if there are plans to stripe Southlake Boulevard in order to direct
traffic in and out of Southlake Town Square. Ms. Turner stated that she is not sure whether or not
there are plans to stripe Southlake Boulevard, but she is certain that some type of buttons will be
placed in order to prevent traffic from entering the turning lane too soon.
Commissioner LeVrier asked what TxDOT will allow for Street 'C' and 'D'. Mr. Williams stated
that they will have right-tm only traffic coming out of both of those streets.
Motion was made to approve ZA 97-099, subject to Development Plan Review Summary No. 1,
dated August 1, 1997, amending Item #3 (bufferyards) by striking "Type O" from the first item and
deleting the second and third items in their entirety; deleting Items #5a and #5b; and requiring on
Item #5c the removal of one (1) parking space on Street 'C' if required by the City Engineer and
requiring traffic exiting both Streets 'C' and 'D' to be right-out only.

identical to the previous Items #5a, 5b, and 5c, and asked for the same exceptions regarding
driveways. Regarding Item #8c, he stated he cannot show building heights yet because they are not
