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.

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.

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.

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.

I am sending this to you via email as I will not be able to attend the 9/3 meeting. I will be out of the state. I had previously hand delivered a detailed letter (dated 8/1/13) to your office and sent a second copy via email. That letter detailed my wife's and my concerns regarding: 1) Summit Avenue becoming a through street as part of the new Garden District Plans. 2) Opposition to the rental apartment building construction in Southlake Town Square next to Cafe Express. hope you have taken the time to read through that fetter and respective exhibits. My wife and I attended the past two P&Z meetings to speak up against both issues. Below are additional comments regarding the P&Z meeting experience which I felt were important for you to have in hand prior to making your decisions on 9/3. At the first meeting (8/8) those opposed to the apartment building on the P&Z board had "numbers" so the Vice Chairman gave the option to C&S to table the discussion vs. have it voted down. That was a nice option to be given. The Chairman was absent from this meeting, along with another member. At the last meeting (8/22) numbers were reversed and the push for a much quicker vote was made. We were disappointed Mr. Springer was absent from the 8/22 meeting as he seemed to seek a better explanation from the 8/8 meeting regarding the ZA13-054 planned use. He voiced his opposition at the 8/8 meeting. Had he been present I guess it would still have been moved to you, 4 votes to 3 (obviously controversial). Several observations about this process: 1) It seems strange those P&Z members not present at the prior meeting (8/8), which went until lam due to the heavy debate, were even allowed to vote only having the benefit of the 8/22 meeting input. It seems only those present at the previous meeting should have a vote for a prior tabled topic. It was obvious (and self admitted) those absent members did not review the video of the meeting they missed, hence only having about 1/3 of the information presented on the topic. Cooper & Stebbins was asked for more detail at the 8/8 meeting about financing issues they contend are driving the need for an apartment vs. condo. All that was presented "new' at the 8/22 meeting was more rhetoric as to why financing was "challenging" (not impossible). Also the story changed that now the units/apartments would be marketed for sale. But the comment by C&S was "Sure, if ht4A.Wrnai Lg oog 1e.comlma11/?u1=2&i k--ce737a625d&,Aew=pt&search=i nbo)dth=140eb70a574dd4de 1/3 8(29113 Ci.southlalm.kus Mail - Fw: 913113CityCouncil Meeting & 8122113 P&Z Meeting Follow -Up someone wants to buy one we will talk to them". What does this mean? Most disturbing is how the C&S story continues to change not only meeting to meeting, but within the same meeting. (Kids will live in the apartments, no kids will line there; retail development follows the residential development, then we hear residential follows the retail; apartments will not be marketed for sale, then apartments will be marketed for sale; $350 sq "sell price" at the first meeting then a range of $400 to $800 sq ft at the second meeting. We are not living in New York City ... $800 a sq loot?) These meetings were only two weeks apart yet the inconsistencies from one to the next were extensive. 2) 19 residents (cards) plus my wife and I make 21, showed up opposed to the apartment development while a handful spoke up in favor, yet the resolution passed. I am not quite sure the benefit of the public portion of the hearing? It seemed logical the P&Z vote would be tabled in consideration of the overwhelming majority against vs. in favor of the variance, not to mention the opposition emails and calls received by P&Z (many emails and calls opposed received as self admitted by P&Z members). 3) It would seem if the Chairman in fact had "no idea" (his words) what the tax plan T.I.R.Z #1, Ordnance #682, is, he would feel an obligation to review it prior to pushing for a vote. This is a key component to utilizing tax payer dollars to fund infrastructure development. Its primary intent is for pants, schools, roads and retail expansion; not to subsidize residential development. The issue was minimized by the Chairman and quite frankly dismissed. I have since sent you, and the P&Z board members, detail on this T.I.R.Z Tax from the city of Southlake web -site. I know this was passed prior to your time in your current office but it should not be overlooked as it was a key piece of the foundation to the initial development structure of Town Square. I assume you would expect those that take over your position to care about the items you passed (after much hard work) prior to them voting on a new, yet very related topic. You should each want to understand the full "Intent" of this T.IR.Z as it represents the use of tax payer dollars. This is one of the most important tasks encompassing your job: the appropriate and justified use of tax payer dollars. 4) It seemed extremely odd the Chairman so quickly issued his verbal public congratulations to C&S for obtaining the variance for the apartment. What then is the definition of impartiality? 5) At the end of both meetings on these topics it was simplified down to C&S's prior track record for good development. "The past is an indicator that the good intentions C&S spoke of should become reality going forward". That's appreciated and respected; but apartment rentals are much bigger than a track -record regarding 42 Brownstones and major retail development. 6) Finally, Kate Smith kept seeking an answer from C&S as to why they insisted on moving forward with the "most controversial issue in Southlake" prior to completing other phases of the Garden District development? No sound answer was ever provided. Many years of life has taught us when it looks like a rat, and smells like a rat, it is usually a rat. At the exit of the maze, which is probably only 25% uncovered though these meetings, lies the pot of gold. Unfortunately, dollars and greed drive most human behavior. C&S stated they had the most to lose financially if the apartment building failed. I ask you, who has the most to gain financially from a rental scenario where C&S is retaining ownership? A suggestion for future meetings; please consider providing the public a one minute opportunity for rebuttal. The resident, and/or the developer/applicant, that speaks last can state anything against another resident and represent it as fact with no chance for the other resident to refute the claim. This occurred at the 818 meeting regarding a comment I made about the fire department and Summit Avenue. At the 8122 meeting it again occurred regarding THE Brownstone HOA Board meeting process which was described (and misrepresented) to P&Z by another homeowner and C&S. Keep the bigger picture best interests of the Southlake community at the forefront of your decision making process. This is so much bigger than the Brownstone community (of which I am a resident). Two questions 1 hope you can provide the answer to are: 1) Who owns the property in question regarding this development? (the parking lot) We heard rumor it was a long- term land lease to C&S, but we are not sure how to research this point. https rnal Lg oog le,corr*naii inui=2&i k--cc737a625d&Mevu-- pAsaarch--i nboAth=140670a57404de 2/3 8/29/13 Ci.southlalm.txus Mail - FW: 9/3113 City Council Meeting & 8/22113 P&Z Meeting Follow -Up 2) For our future reference, what does it take to get an issue like this to a public vote vs. the P&Z and City Council process?

Let me state that I am opposed to the P&Z zoning change leading to the potential passing of the "Lofts" apartment -style five -story building at Town Square. My arguments are visceral in nature, mainly because I do not know any of reasons why you and the three city councilmen who straw voted "for" would approve this project. There has been much discussion in my circles as to why we are opposed to it. I have heard nothing compelling as to why'you all are for this project. We moved here 17 years ago. During that time, I worked for 13 years as the CFO for the Dallas Arboretum --a public/private partnership with the City of Dallas. (I love Southlake so much that the 80 mile commute each day was well worth it). During my tenure there I dealt with bond elections, city council, master plan buildout and updates, and neighborhood opposition to the changes --all in an effort to grow into a world class garden. To win over our neighbors, city hall etc., we bent over backwards to communicate our master plan. We would hold town hall meetings. We met with neighborhood associations. Sometimes we hand delivered letters to neighbors. We presented cases to city hall. We investigated best practices. We tried to communicate every way possible, that we had done our due diligence and we were taking the best interest of the citizens of Dallas to heart. We didn't always change everyone's mind --neighbors are still picketing at times today over parking garage issues. But, we could look in the mirror and know that we were above board in all our dealings, and we acted in the overall best interest of the City. Please communicate why you and the other council members are voting for this five -story loft unit in Southlake. This appears to be a direct contradiction to the forefather's master plan for this city. This is in direct opposition to your "vision" when I voted for you for mayor (see below as cut and pasted from your website). Why now have you done a 180 degree turn? Why do you see this needed in Southlake at this time? And why, are the representatives of this community turning an apparent deaf ear to the voices of the people on this issue? I know you tabled the vote from Tuesday's meeting. Why not table it longer so that you and the city council can hold some Town Hall meetings on the subject where you can present the facts, and answer questions directly from the citizens? Use the media (electronic and paper). Mail letters. Take a proactive stance instead of a reactive stance. The apparent railroading of this issue through city hall only raises suspicions as to motives on all parties as to why this is going to pass. As momma always said, "if it looks like trouble, smells like trouble, tastes like trouble..... you've got trouble!" The lack of communication and respect for the constituents in the handling of this issue only adds fuel to that fire. In my 17 years here, I have not seen such a heated topic at City Hall since the voting of one high school vs. two. The favor of a response is appreciated. Sincerely, Tracy DeVage (From your website) A VISION FOR SOUTHLAKE I understand the needs and concerns of citizens and business owners of Southlake and am determined to safeguard the superior quality of life that Southlake citizens have come to enjoy. As MAYOR, I will: • Preserve low -to -medium density single family residential development to maintain the open and unique feel of Southlake. • Permit only high quality commercial development, growing a solid tax base for our City. • Actively support our schools. • Advocate community service. • Utilize fiscally conservative management skills. • Exhibit highest standards of ethics. • Bring people together to reach common goals. • Preserve Southlake as a great place to live, work and play.

First: Since the three minutes we are given to address issues at the open forum does not come close to allowing us to say much- I would like to commend all of you and your predecessors for the accomplishments in creating the Town Square and controlling how it has been developed. I believe you have the opportunity to put your personal stamp on that development again. Second: I would like to reiterate some comments I sent to Council Member Hill earlier this week, to which she graciously replied. Myself and many of those that signed the petition opposing item 6D are not necessarily opposed to the Garden District concept or the Hi -Value conclo's. In fact I was close to withdrawing my opposition until the developer made the comment that he felt he had to lease the apartment's (oh I forgot, he even used the wrong word) to drive the market value for selling them. I questioned Ms. Hill with regard to the approval of the original proposal and whether the leasing of these Residences was part of the proposal when that approval took place. If in fact that is the case, all of us that are opposed are quite late to the table. If not, I would like you all to reconsider the proposal, especially with regard to the "lease" consideration. I will ask all of you, as I did Ms. Hill to consider the "What If" scenario. Given even the developers concerns: What if they can not sell the units? What if they can only sell a small number of the units? What if they have to "lease" a good number or even all of the units for a long period of time? Are they really Hi -Value condo's or apartments? As some of you mentioned already, the original proposal for the Brownstones did not turn out the way everyone expected, economy or not. I understand why some of the owners of the existing Brownstones are behind this project, but is it the additional Brownstones that are being proposed or the Residences. I would suggest it is the additional Brownstones. In either case I am sure they -are thinking that either project might improve the value of their property as well as cover up the back of the Brownstones facing Highway 114. Remember that the actual number of residents that live in the Brownstone is quite a minority considering the number of us Southlake residents that own and live in our homes. Please don't let this minority drive you decision. As mentioned earlier, you and your predecessors have maintained admirable control of the overall development of Town Square. I believe if you allow these residences to be built with the concept that they may have to be leased to get people interested in purchasing them, you have given up the control you have maintained for so many years. The developer has stated there are no comparable's to work with to develop the sales proposal. I say look to our neighbors and some of their similar developments that have failed in their cities. These comparable's suggest don't build unless you know you can sell. Given some of the previous approvals, it may be to late to control the lease option. Is it too late to control when these would actually be built? I believe I heard that 55 per cent of the Brownstones had to be built/sold??prior to starting the residences. Given the past experience, maybe the Brownstones should be built and sold prior to the Residences being built. Seems that the sale of all the Brownstones would drive the market for selling the Residences. I will reiterate, if the developer is not sure they can sell them why build them? As always, the image of Southlake is in your hands. Thank You for your consideration in this matter.

Mark Kotter Begin forwarded message: From: Defend Southlake - _ Date: September 8, 2013 4:58:22 AM CDT To: undisclosed -recipients:; Bcc: _ Subject: UtrtND SOUTHLAKE DEFEND SOUTHLAKE: Please disregard if you have no interest in defending Southlake from the development of apartment complexes. The developers of Town Square are asking for a special use permit (SUP) to approve the building of apartments in Town Square. The request for the apartment SUP was never discussed until very recently in prior Town Square development proposals. The developers and the Southlake City Council do not think citizens care if apartments are built in Southlake. And without your signature on the petition they are right. In general, a part of the Southlake community does not have a problem with the development of high - end condominiums in Town Square to create a "vibrant" downtown. However, the developer's request fora artTents versus condominiums raises serious legal issues and sets a precedent for all future -p- - ----- .-.._ 9 construction in Town Square and in Southlake. There is a lot of undeveloped property in Town Square and adjacent to Town Square for "annexation" into the Downtown District. For example, the developers are trying to get the Post Office to relocate. Defend Southlake is not asking for you to make a decision regarding luxury condominiums, the issue is to deny the apartment SUP for the proposed apartment complex. The developers past activities indicates a history changing "their story" using the negotiating tactic of speaking malarkey to different audiences. For example, when the concept of the "Residences" was originally proposed the developers made a promise to P&Z, City Council and concerned citizens that they would never be apartments. The City Council does not get it or are trying to approve the request for apartments without being held accountable. The request for the apartment SUP was strong armed through P&Z on AUG 27 and was presented to City Council this SEP I Southlake as you know it did not happen by accident. Even though caught by surprise, Southlake Citizens gathered and presented a petition signed by over 500 of your neighbors with the backbone and courage to speak out against this travesty. The petition had to be hand carried to the City Council meeting; because, mysteriously, all the prior electronic emails and feedback (phone messages) sent to the City Secretary, P&Z and the City Councilmen was never received by them. We all know and appreciate Southlake's Town Square. However, there has been a change of leadership in the Town Square developers; and, it is apparent that their vision for Town Square has changed and the new team cannot be trusted. What they promised to do and what they are now asking City Council to approve has dramatically changed. They are making promises that cannot be enforced in a court of law. Defend Southlake is asking you to sign the Southlake Citizens petition as requested in the attached email.

I understand your initial non -binding vote was Yes. I am sure you could go on about these lofts being buried somewhere in our master plan. However, I feel certain you are not mandated to approve or support this proposal. I had some initial concerns about the Brownstones in the beginning, but chose not to voice my opinion. At this point, I think my concerns were well founded. If they were suppose to be this popular, why are more of them not built out and sold, as the residents of Southlake were told. On the lofts, I have a far greater concern, so I am putting this in writing to request you to vote No. I am on our Homeowners Board in our subdivision and am receiving numerous calls from neighbors asking that the HOA become involved in this issue. I am probably not the only one receiving these calls. I will let you know, I have not had one resident in our subdivision call me in favor of these lofts. Mayor Terrell, you and other council members, previous and present, have done so much to improve and enhance our community. I am very appreciative of this. Because I have chosen not to elaborate, make no mistake and interpret this as a "weak" request to vote no. As a long term residence, I will ask you once again to vote a strong and resounding NO!

You are all doing a great job .... please continue! However, now I feel compelled to comment on an issue brought before you at the September 3 Council Meeting ...that regarding apartments. Call them what you want, but an individually occupied place of residence unowned by that occupant is an apartment, a rental ... the noun: "periodic payment made by someone in return for the right to occupy or use another's property"; the verb: "to obtain occupancy or use of another's property in return for periodic payments"; "a residence owned by a landlord, rented by that owner to another person." What else can we call it? It's not an single- family taxpayer -owned condominium. The building is owned by someone else other than the people living in it. It's a tax burden; it's a maintenance problem; the number of children residing in this place of residence has nothing to do with how much tax is paid to the school district. It is a potential burden on the tax structure of this city and its citizens. Not only has this city recognized the burden that "apartments" would cause the citizens of Southlake, the promise has been made repeatedly to the citizens of this city, that apartments were not accepted here ...never were, never will be! From the years of tenure by Gary Fickes, Rick Stacy, Les Clow and others, the City of Southlake wants nothing to do with apartments, no matter what the developers want to call them! Since "before the first brick," the developers of Town Square promised that no apartments would be constructed within the area designated "Town Square"!! Now is not the time to change the rules! Promises are promises ..integrity is integrity. Either we abide by the rules or the promises made are garbage. No apartments in Southlake! Please! Get a grip! Keep the faith!

We oppose any kind of multi -family housing units. The fact that we don't have any sets us apart from neighboring communities and benefits our property values.

I am opposed to the proposed "apartments" in town center. The developer could easily "price" this units if he wanted to. He doesn't want to. He wants to rent them and is just using the pricing issue as an excuse. Please tell the developer: "If you can't sell them, don't build them."

Just take a look at the Colleyville units that didn't sell and there are the "comps" the developer denied that exist. Townhouses are great. Condos are OK, when sold, but leave rental units to other towns. We moved here for low density, fine schools, and all the amenities Southlake is known for (now). We do not need apartments, regardless of the monthly lease amount. Thank you for your consideration........ Regards, Jane H. Cravens 304 Lakeside Ct.

We are of the understanding that there will be a vote on Oct. 15, 2013 to make this very important decision. Please note the below concerns from our perspective and also on behalf of our neighbors to our west Winding Creek, who have no voice at this point. Concerns: 1. Parking is a premium already in Town Square and building in the area behind Cafe Express will only add to the parking problem. If Traders Joes comes in, this location would be more suitable so the Multi Level garage is used to its maximum potential! Also, who would want to "purchase" a home/condo that backs up to a parking garage! 2. If the Condos are built here, Southlake taxpayers will end up having to pay for more multi level garages to house our visitors and friends who visit SOUTHLAKE. There and as well up front for Traders Joe's 3. Parking problems are already a reality, and thereafter when this development is complete, we feel strongly that parking will only end up moving across the street into the Shops of SOUTHLAKE, which will place more pressure on the taxpayers, and parking needs. 4. If the developer's condo concept is a wonderful purchase idea then just go for the "SALE" only plan ... not to lease. Do we not have confidence in our realtors in SOUTHLAKE to market this global idea? We also need to allow ALL realtors to be considered to market the plan thereby, there needs to be an independent management company hired (not one local realtor only) to oversee the units. SOUTHLAKE does not need rifs in our great home sales teams. 5. Have the City Council contacted the TIF board to discuss the benefit and/or deficit of having this area built out prior to 2018. 6. If the Garden Dist./Condos are going to be marketed in the $300 per ft. price point then why use EFIS? We don't want another Villas of Colleyville look. 7. Our good partners CISD also need to be protected from "over developing" our community prior to having adequate classroom space. 8. As you know, Oak Tree Estates is right behind the Central Market area. We DO NOT want any parking added in this area and we feel strongly this may be considered if the city considers moving forward on the project as it is being considered currently —More think tank discussion need to be thought out. 9. By the way, on a side note, the development west of Carroll and South of 1709 will have its own problems with parking, development space and traffic problems, sure hope you have that thought out before processing a plan and presenting it to the citizens of Southlake. We hope you think on these concerns and hear the voice of your voters.
