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-
054 is approved, the door will be opened for more and more apartments to come into Southlake. Believe me, we
do not want to open that "can of worms".

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.

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,

Dear 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.
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

Dear Mayor and City Council
We moved to Southlake 16 years ago because we were attracted to the low density residential
development amongst many other reasons.
Then came the Brownstones 1 Just take a look North from the parking lot between 1709 and Main
Street, East from Central Ave.
What does one see? Ugly apartments! With a classy name.
We oppose another apartment building, now a five -story one.
Please keep Southlake a unique place to live!
Thank you.

The last thing Southlake needs are these proposed rentals! We know that apartments w !II have a negative impact on our city and our
property values. We have lived here for nineteen years and have seen the tremendous growth w hich of course has lead to severe
congestion in and around Tow n Square and FM 1709. This apartment building w ill only further contribute to the traffic problems and w ill
create problems that rental properties seem to do. Building these apartments w ould have absolutely no positive effect for the
Southlake resident! We don't w ant them. .

Southlake. What developers propose and what really happens down the road may be two very different things.
There's no telling the repercussions of a development like this on Town Square and the City of Southlake. I feel
this is a gamble too large to take for Southlake and it behooves the Planning & Zoning Commission to Keep the
current density requirements in place for Southlake. Thank you for your serious consideration in. this matter.

am so very disappointed in all of you. Are you not listening to the people of Southlake? WE DON'T WANT
APARTMENTS HERE! This is a family based community! I moved here because there are no apartments! This
is going to backfire on you ... it will not work! Did you consider the density, the traffic, the risk, the rent, the
safety of children??? No! I am not sure why you approved this? It is ridiculous! I hope the Council Member who
appointed all of you are song for their decision!

Dear Mr. Mayor and City Council Members:
already sent an email in opposing the construction of loft apartments is in Southlake Town Square. I am so very
disappointed in the Planning and Zoning Committee's (the same committee all of you appointed) approval of the
loft apartments. Obviously, you are not listening to the people of Southlakel Did the committee you appointed not
think about the density, the traffic, the safety of our children, the rent, the risk, out schools, the citizens, the
city? Anything? No! Please listen to what the people want —that is what you were elected to do ... listen to the
people and do the right thing for the City of Southlake. This is a huge risk —one not worth taking!
Sincerely,

We do not need any apartments going up in Southlake. This will bring down value of our homes and schools and
everything else that Southlake stands for. Our community was built upon a small town feel with high standards
and values of it's family members. This is crazy that about every 3 years we are all trying to fight apartment
complexes going up in this area! There are plenty of other places you can build these apartments, but not HERE!

Subject: 9/3/13 City Council Meeting & 8/22/13 P&Z Meeting Follow -Up
City Council Members and Southlake Mayor John Terrell,
I sure hope you take the time to read this communication. 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.

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? Some items seem large enough for full public vote.
Respectfully,
Valentino and Shawna Cardillo

Dear Mayor Terrell,
My contact information is shown below, and I have been a resident of
Southlake since February, 2000.
If you value the continued greatness of Southlake, please vote against the
zoning change request for the Residences in Southlake Town Square (or
whatever the proposed Town Square rental property is to be called).
1 intend to speak against the requested zoning change at the Council Meeting
dealing with this request, so I will not go over much of my comments here in
this email. Instead, I will just cite the primary concerns.
In my opinion, there are three main reasons that make Southlake such a
desirable place to live, facilitate the quality of life here, and lead many of us to
move here:

Subject: Lofts Disclosure Requested
Dear Mayor Terrell,
Long-time resident (17 years) first-time writer.
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.

were no transient housing options. I pay a tremendous property tax and expect my voice to be heard. To those of
you who support the apartments, I will NOT vote for your re-election regardless of your affiliation.

Debate over the Residences at last meeting
Dear Mayor and City Council Members;
My name is Mark Kotter and I live at 406 Edgemont Drive, Southlake as I mentioned at the meeting the other night.
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.
Sincerely
Mark Kotter

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. Again, make sure all the members of your family sign the petition and send a copy of this email
to every other defender of Southlake you know.

Dear Mayor Terrell,
I am writing this to you to urge you to oppose and vote no for the approval of lofts in Southlake. 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! I I

Subject: apartments
Ladies and Gentlemen:
rarely contact all of you regarding issues in this city. 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!

One of the key reasons we moved to Southlake was zoning restrictions with regard to Apartments. We

Mayor and City Council,
I will be out of town next week and therefore unable to attend the meeting on this subject.
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."

apartment/condos @ Town Square
Dear Mayor & Council,
I am all for condos which will be sold; however, I am against rental units or apartments in Southlake. 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........

To the City Council,
As you likely have seen these below points already.....we are also writing to voice
our concerns regarding City Council's consideration to allow The Residence
(Condominium) development to move forward. 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.
Regards,
Scott and Valerie Stalets
Southlake Residents in Oak Tree Estates.
