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.

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.

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.

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 Os:llmdl.gwgle.cam/maiilulQl?ui=2Nlr-7a2OB&%c3&%ieo--ptgsearclrinboditi=14QB8a774dfb M 112 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
