Ms. Blake-
am writing to you to express my extreme concern over the proposed apartment units for our town square. Our
family have been residents of Southlake for over 10 years and it is our opinion that anytype of high occupancy
luring, such as this that has been proposed would change the dynamics of our little city ... and not for the better[
In fact, ha%Ang no apartment structures was a major factor in our decision making at the time that we selected
Southlake as the place to raise our family. So please work hard to keep these units out of Southlake.
Thank you -
Beth Cardillo

have been a resident of Southlake for 13 years, and love it; although I have witnessed many
unforseen changes, some of which I like, and some of which I either don't understand the need
for or do not like. Southlake has an image of being an upscale city, and as such, as has always
been the case, apartments are not part of this image. Apartments would negatively affect our
property values, and the already existing severe congestion on 1709 and in and around Town
Square would be exacerbated. Please give support in anyway you canto the defeat of this
proposal which would benefit only those who want to put money in their own pockets at the
expense of the citizens of the city of Southlake. Thank you.

Since I will be unable to attend this evening's meeting, I would like to go on record as OPPOSED to the proposed
apartments in Town Square. We moved to Southlake 20 years ago just to get away from that very thing. li ZA-13-

Dear Mayor Terrell and City Council members,
Please note my opposition to the prosed apartments in the Planning and Zoning
phase. I believe our home values will be effected negatively. In addition, as we all
know Carroll ISD is a highly sought after school district, apartments will over load
our schools. Please do everything that you can to preserve our city. There is a
reason there are no apartments in Southlake and I believe we should keep it that
way.
Thank you for your consideration.

Ms. Blake,
Please pass this along to the Planning & Zoning Commission members regarding tonight's agenda item ZA13-
054, Specific Use Permit for Residential Lofts.
Due to a scheduling conflict, we not able to attend this evening's meeting and therefore, we are writing to record
our OPPOSITION to the SUP for 40 residential units to be located in Southlake Town Square.
As homeowners in this community, we have taken great comfort in knowing that no multifamily residence
developments exist in our town. It was one of the reasons my husband and I chose to relocated to Southlake over
other towns in the Metroplex.
It is our position that apartments/condos/lofts are the same type of housing. The face of Southlake will be
changed by allowing these residences and, respectfully, not for the better. These residences will result in
excessive traffic and an additional burden on our school system, which will be detrimental to the quality of life and
PROPERTY VALUES in Southlake. Approval for this development will open the door for additional similar
projects.
We are AGAINST approving this permit.

Dear Ms. Blake and Committee Members,
I am writing to voice our opposition to the building of high density apartments in Southlake and the
proposed Town Square project.
I think building apartments in ourcitywill detractfrom the high qualityof life and high propertyvalues that
attract people to Southlake. The decision to allow apartments in "our great city" is monumental and will
completelychange the landscape of Southlake and its future.
The low density ordIna nces that have been followed to date have allowed our city to control its traffic
congestion, provide superior communityservices and afford a high qualityof life -- all which will be
negatively impacted by high -density apartments.
The vast majorityof Southlake residents are stronglyopposed to apartments. The only reason they
haven't voiced their opposition is because theyare unaware this is being discussed bythe Planning &
Zoning Committee. If you informed people about this discussion via one of the automated phone calls
(like those telling us about SPIN meetings), you can bet the meeting would be packed with opponents to
such an agenda item.
I know you are all proud of our cityand want to do what's right. Please do NOTvote in support of
apartments in our city.

Dear Ms. Blake,
As residents of Southlake for 17 years, we NEVER expected to hear that the City of Southlake would consider a
proposal for building an apartment complex!! We have been pleased the way everyone has worked diligently on
Improving our community. We believe an apartment complex in the town square will do nothing to enhance our
city - just the opposite - it will be detriment!!
am also including the names of 4 other residents who will be unable to attend the meeting tonight. They have
requested that I voice their position for them - that is they are against this proposal to build an apartment
complex!!

Our concern is the number of school age children that would be in residence.
The CISD is already having trouble with the number of children at our schools. This High Density will add to the
number of children at our schools and take away from the families already in our school system.
If these apartments are for 2DIV retired or no school age children couples that would be fine.

SOUTHLAKE
Brownstone Development Town Square

To: Hblake@ci.southlake.tx.us
Hi, my name is Dan R. Hardin and I have been living in Southlake since 1997. 1 built a house in Oak Tree Estates
and my family and I have enjoyed growing up with Southlake. My wife and I are both very concerned with how the
current development of Town Square is trending. We are adamantly opposed to the Brownstone Densities that
are being considered tonight. Town Square is a special development that can be ruined without vigilant
governance. Our long term position in allowing very low density development continues to suffer erosion each and
every year and this is simply another attack on that position that is needless and improper. Please, place our
family among those that live in near proximity to Town Square that demand that our elected officials stand
against this project.
With Due Respect,
Dan R. Hardin (Rusty)

To: Ken Baker ckbaker@ci.southiske.tx.us>
Dear P&Z Members,
I would like to thank all of you fbr volunteering for this job. At times it can appear to be a thankless but very
important job to our city and it is much appreciated that commissioners would sit through these long meetings to
make sure the City of Southlake stays to the standards that have been laid out by previous P&Z and council
members. i am unable to attend this meeting as we are taking our youngest son off to college.
It was brought to my attention about the rezoning Cooper and Stebbins proposed a couple weeks ago. I went
back to look at the video and it was like watching paint dry. Thank you Thank you Thank you for going through all
the tedious details. Cooper and Stebbins has done a fabulous job of our premier Town Square. I have the upmost
regard for them as a developer but am concerned about the latest proposal of which I have addressed below. I
was please to see that you tabled the financial part of this proposal.
1. In listening to the video (which by the way is difficult- in some portions you cannot hear) my main
concern is leasing these buildings. if the developer doesn't haw the resources to properly price the units, they
should seek such expertise and
establish a firm price they can live with. To indicate that they need to lease them to establish a price is not
indicative of business decisions made by professionals like Cooper & Stebbins. I spoke with a real estate office
in Southlake and they gave me the average square foot of sales with the brownstones which are $242 a square
this year. The applicant talked about $350 a square in selling but leasing (renting) for $250 a square. These
numbers do not add up. I assume their leasing at $250 a square foot implies they establish the rental on a
purchase price. Why do that if the resultant number is 29% less than your intended selling price. is that to get
immediate cash flow?
Southlake has always had high standards of not leasing multi family units.... why would we change now? This
only benefits the applicant, this is not what is best for our city or it's citizens. Southlake is the only community
that does not lease or rent multi family units. People move here for this very reason of not having leasing of multi
family rentals. This may sound snobby but it truly is what differentiates Southlake from Grapevine, Keller,
Colleyville, North Richland Hills etc. it is a key selling point for our city. Agreeing to this type of housing would
be lowering our standards. And for what reason would we do this? And if you do It for one developer.... many
other developers will be coming to do the same.
2. As Southlake Town Square has grown in general parking has become a premium. Careful building on top
of parking lots needs to be at the highest priority level in order that we don't ruin the business operations that
currently reside In Southlake Town Square. Where "The Residences" are to be built would eliminate more parking
and add more residents to the mix (I do understand that they will have their own private parking underneath the
building). Before anything is built on the land where The Residence are proposed you should include a traffic
count on the parking to see if it is really Triable before any decisions are made.
3. Cooper and Stebbins have done an excellent job of the architecture of these proposed buildings but I am
a little concerned about the height of them. Five stories across from the three story brownstones seems a bit
excessive. And then in The Garden District, four stories would be one story taller. Not sure why the
inconsistency of the height of these buildings.
4. The biggest complaint I hear from about the Brownstones is the industrial commercial build of these

silolis Usoulhlal a ws Mail - € lease Distribute to PBZ.Members before the rot meeting
buildings. My Southlake real estate friends have told me that several families that have moved into the
Brownstones have redone the inside of the brownstones because the quality was more commercial grade than
residential grade. While all of these pictures look great on paper in drawings you cannot tell the build out quality.
If this proposal is approved and is built to commercial standards as the Brownstones were, then the price
certainly is not going to be anywhere near what the applicant is proposing.
Parking.in General
l cannot. tell you how many people in Southlake are complaining about the new Del Frisco Grill ding up where it
is' going up. it is so hard to get into Comer Bakery. now. Not sure that the t6mmtssialners"ii anything to do with
this decision, but overall if we do not have parking to support the businesses that are here, then the businesses
will leave. Since this whole fiasco started in the parking lot 1 have not been to Comer Bakery which I eat at. all the
time. I am sure many people feel as I do and f has affected Comer Bakery's Business.
Once again i. thank you for your time and efforts.

Ms. Blake,
My husband and I have owned one of the Brownstones since they were built and have been able to closely
watch the progression of further plans for additional living space in Town Square.
I dislike the term "Apartments" being used in the negative campaign push as these will be very high -end lofts
that will compliment the atmosphere already generated in Town Square. Cooper and Stebbins has always
made it a point to keep a classy sophisticated theme in the forefront of any plans made here.
"Apartments" is not what these should be considered and I do appreciate all the support the P&Z committee
and city leaders can give this going forward.
Thank you,

As a 13-year resident of our great city, I respectfully request that Southlake continue to reject any plan that calls
for apartments or other high density housing. Our community has grown and continues to thrive without
compromising on this principle. What separates Southlake from other communities in the DFW area is the
City's commitment to listening to its residents and not succumbing to political and economic pressures.
Southlake is a tremendous place to live and raise a family and there is no reason to change what has been
proven to yield success — the same cannot be said for many other surrounding municipalities..

am. adamantly against the proposal for apartment buildings being built on/near Southlake Town Square. Not
only will it result in an overcrowding nightmare (even greater lack of parking than there is now) but it will reduce
the value of properties already near there. It is not in the best interest for the residents of Southlake, and is
obviously a result of self -interests.
Please include me in the opposition count of Southlake residents who do not approve of this proposal.

Ms Blake,
Please pass this along to the Planning & Zoning Commission members. regarding tonight's agenda item ZA13-
054, Specific Use Permit for residential lofts.
am writing to record my opposition to the SUP for 40 residential units to be located in Southlake Town Square.
As a member of the city council who participated in the initial planning and zoning for this development I can
unequivocally state that this was never a contemplated use for this development, and that the council at that time
took special care in order to ensure that this type of use was not included in the approved zoning.
Although subsequent councils have seen fit to make alterations allowing more liberal development of this
property, the density proposed for this residential use is in my opinion not appropriate anywhere in Southlake, no
matter if it is condos, residences, or apartments.
would also remind you that the city participated in the cost of the infrastructure for this development through the
T.I.R.Z. with the intention of accelerating needed commercial development. By placing residential units in this
development we are effectively subsidizing residential development with tax dollars, certainly not a part of the
original planning.
I apologize that I am unable to attend tonight's meeting in person, and ask that these comments be placed in the
record of tonight's meeting.

Mayor Terrell and Council members:
feel strongly against multi -family housing in Town Square.
No matter how we disguise it: town homes, condos, Garden District Homes - we're still talking
about a structure that starts out lovely, but has the potential to deteriorate into the kind of
apartment living that I've lived close to in East Dallas.
The low density ordinances that have been followed to date have allowed our city to control its
traffic congestion, provide superior community services and afford a high quality of life — all
which will be negatively impacted by high -density apartments.
Many Southlake residents are unaware this proposal is being discussed by the P&Z. If you
inform people via one of the automated phone calls (like the SPIN meeting calls), you can bet
the meeting would be packed with opponents to such an agenda item.
1 know you are all proud of our city and want to do what's right. Please do NOT vote in support
of apartments in our city.

Subject: Loft Apartments in Southlake
Dear Mr. Baker and Southlake Planning and Zoning Commissioners,
Tue, Aug 20, 2013 at 3:10 PM
I wanted to write you and let you know that I am opposed to the Loft Apartments being proposed by
Cooper & Stebbins. Southlake is a family based community and apartments (no matter how
beautiful and expensive) do not fall into what I think Southlake represents. I have lived in Southlake
for 5 years now and have been very happy to say that we do not have any apartments... they are not
allowed and not wanted.
am very worried about the traffic in The Town Square. I have a hard time getting around there now.
And, when we have special events —do we need apartment traffic? is this place going to be a
hangout for teens? Are these apartments going to give people an easy and cheap way to get into
our outstanding schools? How will these apartments affect my house value? Will the apartments go
bankrupt like the Arthouse Apartments in Keller? And, have you seen the rent for those loft
apartments? See this information about their rent: http://www.umovefree.com/Apartment/arthouse-
a partments-kel ler-tx/.
Again, I opposed to Loft apartments, co-ops or whatever Cooper & Stebbins is offering up. If they
would like to build some beautiful single family homes, go for it. Southlake has no need for
apartments... none.
Sincerely,
Lea Hallab

Hi Ms. Blake,
We have lived in Southlakc 17 years. The reason we have stayed so long are the high zoning standards
which have kept the community property values high, schools properly sized (not overcrowded) and the
crime rate low. I am not interested in allowing any apartments in the borders of the City of Southlake. My
vote and my wife's vote are NO to the apartments.
Thank you,

Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the meeting tonight, but as a home owner in Southlake at 406 Edgemont
Drive I wanted to express my concern over these proposed apartments. We as citizens of Southlake have tried
to keep up the image of Southlake as a whole and these apartments degrade the city and the value of my home
and property. My wife and I are vehemently opposed to the development of these apartments.

Dear Ms Blake,
Thu, Aug 22, 2013 at 1:52 PM
Please pass this along to the Planning & Zoning Commission members regarding tonight's agenda item ZA13-
054, Specific Use Permit for residential lofts.
I am writing to record my opposition to the SUP for 40 residential units to be located in Southlake Town Square.
As a homeowner in this community, I have taken great comfort in knowing that no multifamily residence
developments exist in our town. It was one of the reasons my husband and I chose Southlake.
Apartments/condos/lofts. It's all the same. You will be changing the face of Southlake and not for the better. With
these residences will come excessive traffic, and overcrowded schools... among other things that will be
detrimental to the quality if life and property values in SOUTHLAKE. This development will open the door for more
and more.
am 100% against it.

Subject: Rental units in Southlake
Ladies and gentlemen, I have lived in Southlake for over 19 years and very much appreciate the efforts of past and
present P&Z Boards, as well as City Councils, to establish zoning and density requirements that have made our town an
example of responsible growth. When I moved my family here, quality of education, and a perceived duality of life, were
key factors in my decision. Needless to say I have not been disappointed and am proud to say 1 live in Southlake.
Watching Southlake Town Center evolve into what today has truly become a case study, followed worldwide, to create a
hub for residents, has been exciting. Cooper & Stebbins(C&S) deserves a huge expression of gratitude for taking the risk
to realize their vision to Southlake's benefit.
Of late though, it is my opinion that C&S has attempted to take advantage of their positive image at the expense of
Southlake's coveted zoning and density requirements. Not too long ago C&S attempted to obtain approval for "lofts" in
the parking lot across from the post office. P&Z correctly rejected this effort to camouflage apartments with a loft
designation and the issue never went to Council for a vote. C&S is now attempting to build 3-20 unit and 1- 40-unit (5
story) "condos" but need to rent them first to establish a purchase price. RENT THEM TO DETERMINE A PURCHASE
PRICE?? A worldwide developer like C&S definitely has access to experienced experts in this area that could assist them
in establishing a well supported sales price($350/sq ft for an apartment??). It appears to me that C&S is merely trying to
maximize cash flow until unit sales, at a price higher than can currently be supported, can be marketed. To allow this
marketing initiative destroy the density guidelines that got us to where we are today appears to me to be a huge step in
the wrong direction.
I respectfully request you to deny this zoning request.
Thank you
