PROJECT: Zoning Change and Development Plan for Remington Estates
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY: Four Peaks-RM, Inc. and JTS Holdings are requesting approval of a Zoning
Change and Development Plan from "AG" Agricultural and "SF-1A" Single
Family Residential District to "R-PUD" Residential Planned Unit Development
for Remington Estates for the development of 22 residential lots (originally 23
residential lots) on 13.43 acres. SPIN Neighborhood #4
DETAILS: Four Peaks-RM, Inc. and JTS Holdings are requesting approval of a Zoning
Change and Development Plan from "AG" Agricultural and "SF-1A" Single
Family Residential District to "R-PUD" Residential Planned Unit Development
for Remington Estates. The original proposed development consisted of 23
residential lots and 4 open space lots. With feedback from citizens and the
Planning and Zoning Commission, the applicant revised the development plans
by removing one (1) lot along the north boundary, increasing these lots to
approximately 18,000 square feet. The Planning and Zoning Commission's
recommendation for approval included the option of removing the one (1) lot
from the south tier of lots rather that from the north. The site currently consists
of three (3) tracts, two (2) have residences and other accessory structures
which will be removed upon development.
At the February 4, 2014, City Council meeting, the applicant presented the
proposed 22 residential lot and 4 open space lot development showing both
options recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission. For the 2nd
Reading, City Council requested that the applicant provide additional
information regarding a garage orientation plan; design guidelines for homes, to
include and not limited to, the home sizes and building materials, articulation,
and styles; work with the homeowners to identify an alternative fencing plan
along the northern border of Lot 27X and along the western border of Lot 1X; a
specific vegetation plan along the northern border of Lot 27X and along the
western border of Lot 1 X; and the traffic study be made available to residents.
Additionally, Police and Fire will need to address access to the site.
The applicant has submitted a revised set of develop regulations, a narrative,
and three (3) development options addressing the conditions of the 1s' Reading
approval. The development details are noted in Attachment `C' of this staff
report. A comparison of the three (3) options is shown below.

Remington Estates: Summary of Revisions for Second Reading
Zoning Case #ZA13-134
Lot Configuration:
With approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission came the request that a single lot be
eliminated from the project. It was left to the developer to decide whether that lot should be
eliminated from the north or south side of the road. It was decided to eliminate a lot from the north
side, thus creating allowing the lots on the north side to be a minimum of 18,000 sq. ft. and a minimum
of 12,000 sq. ft. on the south side. This plan is represented as plan "A - 22 Total Lots".
At the first City Council reading of the zoning application for Remington on February 18, 2014 an
alternative idea was shown, and discussed, which dropped the lot from the south side instead of the
north side. This restored the minimum size lot on the north side to 16,000 sq. ft. as was called for in the
original application. The minimum size lot on the south side became 13,191 sq. ft. This plan is
represented as plan "B-22 Total Lots".
At that first reading of the zoning application on February 181h, Mayor Terrell expressed a desire to see
the east/west divide between the Low Density and Medium Density designated land areas be a straight,
north/south line. There was also an idea, which has been subsequently reiterated, that such an
adjustment to the land plan would eliminate the future potential issue of headlights from the north lots
(and potential future lots) from shining directly into that most western lot on the south side of the
street. Taking this input into consideration, we have presented "Plan C— 22 Total Lots". The lots on the
north side are the same as was originally submitted with our application and as shown in "Plan B — 22
Total Lots". With the adjustment of the land use designation boundary, the open space to this plan has
increase to be 24.57% of the project's land area. It is this "Plan C — 22 Total Lots" that we are requesting
your approval.
Neighbor, Screening Wall/Fence/Buffer
At the first reading of the zoning application for Remington on February 18, 2014, we were instructed to
eliminate the proposed living screen between Remington and the first two neighbors north of the
project whose homes front the east side of Shady Lane. We received further input from Council to
replace said screening with a combination of masonry and decorative metal so as to reduce the visibility
of additional cars within the development for the immediate neighbor and to create additional privacy
and shield headlight illumination on the next neighbor to the north. We have met the neighbors at their
properties and have further analyzed the location of the immediate neighbor's improvements and
existing vegetation along the subject screening wall location to create the plan submitted for this second
reading at City Council for our zoning and platting application. We have subsequently met with the
immediate neighbor to present our plan and, to our understanding, have received approval of the plan
from that neighbor.

Developer's Response for Development Plan Revisions
These were the primary points of direction we felt we heard from the majority of the Commission
members, and how we addressed them:
There was a concern about the straight sections of the road, and that the view toward the
homes on those straight sections- once the visitor gets through the entry- would appear to
have the homes all lined up in a row. RESPONSE: We have re-routed Remington Lane to give
it a gentle undulation or curve. This will make every building pad off -set from the one next to it
and keep this from happening. Also, as we mentioned during the meeting, Remington Lane,
once it enters the area where lots are on either side of it, does not traverse flat ground; it goes
uphill to the top of a ridge, after the first 5 or 6 lots, and then goes down the other side. So, the
number of homes visible on either side would be just 5 or 6, no more than half of the total
number of homes on that street.
2. The Commission was generally okay with the size of the lots along the southern side of
Remington Lane (as they are immediately adjacent to the Commercial and closest to the noise
of SH-114), but wanted a greater transition in lot size on the northern side of the street. The
final requested size for those lots was at least "1/3rd acre lots." RESPONSE: 1/3 of an acre is
14,720 s.f., but commonly referred to as a 15,000 s.f. lot. The change we made to the location
of Remington Lane, as well as moving one lot from the north side to the south side, allowed us
to increase the size of the lots on the north side of the street to at least 16,000 s.f. (a little bit
more than the requested 1/3 acre size), while keeping the lots on the south side in the range of
12,000 to 13,650 s.f., thus making a graded transition.
3. Although the portion of the project we are requesting a change to a Medium -Density
Residential Land Use is not adjacent to any of the neighboring properties along Shady Lane
and Rolling Lane, there was some concern by the neighbors that the Fusella property (which is
not a part of this request, and is remaining Low Density Residential), looks like a possible
"second phase," and will someday have a request for similar lot sizes made for it. The
Commission recognized we have no control over that property, but asked us to address this
concern. RESPONSE: As we mentioned, so far as we've been told, the owners plan to remain
on this property for the foreseeable future and have no plans to sell it for development.
However, should this property be considered for development at some time in the future, we
would expect it would be treated differently and the lot size expectation would have to be
different, than it is for the property currently under consideration- because the location and
conditions would be different. For example, whereas the property we are proposing for
development is immediately next to commercially developed parcels- and close to SH-114, the
Fusella property would not be and would be adjacent to the Low Density lots along Rolling
Lane. So, it would be only logical to expect the city decision makers to only approve a layout
that included lots sized more compatibly with those Rolling Lane lots, such as, say, 30,000 s.f.
lots. At the next meeting, we intend to have a graphic showing how eight 30,000 s.f. lots
would fit within the 8+ acre Fusella property (the density of which, less than 1 lot/acre, would
be consistent with Low Density).
4. We were also asked to take a look the front lot lines of Lot 2, the acre + lot adjacent to the
Rolling Lane homes, to see if we could open it up a little, so the eventual home there could be
placed further away from the neighboring lot along Rolling Lane. RESPONSE: We widened
the lot lines to allow for the front setback to move up a little. It also added a little area to that
lot.
Everyone seemed to like the entry area and open spaces, so those have remained the same.

Jana:
At your request BBCPI has submitted this letter to outline the expected difference in traffic impact
for the proposed 23 residential lot Remington Estates versus the 13 residential units that would
be provided with the current land use plan. The site is to be located on the east side of Shady
Lane just north of the SH 114 northwest bound frontage road in Southlake.

(ADT = average daily trips; vpd = vehicles per day; vph = vehicles per hour; in = vehicles entering

As indicated in our previous letter dated December 2, 2013, the worst case assumption would be
for all of these vehicles to travel south to the SH 114 frontage road or north to the intersection of
Shady Lane at North Kimble Avenue. A reasonable assumption would be that all outbound trips
would utilize the SH 114 frontage road because of its close proximity and as a clearly easier route
to almost all destinations, and that the vast maiority of inbound trips would also utilize the SH 114
frontage road because those origins are primarily from the east, and even those from the west or
south would have the reasonable option of using SH 114 frontage road. Therefore, we would
estimate less than 20 % of incoming traffic would use Shady Lane.
The difference in traffic with 23 residential lots versus 13 residential lots is:
• Daily (24 hours) = 95 vehicles per day
• AM Peak Hour = 8 vehicles per hour (2 entering and 6 exiting)
• PM Peak Hour = 10 vehicles per hour (6 entering and 4 exiting)
Applying our reasonable assumption to the difference in traffic identified above, we would
conclude that, at most, only one (1) vehicles would be entering the site from the north on Shady
Lane in the AM peak hour, and that less than two (2) vehicles would be entering the site from the
north on Shady Lane in the PM peak hour; and that all outbound traffic would go directly to the
SH 114 frontage road and not utilize Shady Lane to the north at all.
These small one and two trip additions are so negligible, they could be classified as insignificant.
The threshold volumes used by NCTCOG for planning purposes is 420 vehicles per hour per lane
(840 for a two-lane road) and 4,000 vehicles per day per lane (8,000 vehicles per day for a two-
lane road) so the amount of added trips is negligible.
If we can be of further assistance to your, please let me know.

TREE CONSERVATION COMMENTS:
The tree preservation and removal calculations on the submitted Tree Conservation Plan are
based on the number of individual existing trees proposed to be saved, altered, and/or
borderline. The calculations are actually required to be based on the total percentage of tree
canopy cover on the entire site.
Please be aware that all existing trees shown to be preserved on the City Council approved
Tree Conservation Plan must be preserved and protected during all phases and construction
of the development. Alteration or removal of any of the existing trees shown to be preserved
on the approved Tree Conservation Plan is a violation of the Tree Preservation Ordinance and
the zoning as approved by the Southlake City Council. Please ensure that the layout of all
structures, easements, utilities, structures grading, and any other structure proposed to be
constructed do not conflict with existing trees intended to be preserved.

Lorrie Fletcher,
I am writing to you regarding the proposed Darby Lane Estates. The residents of Shady Lane were just at a similar
spin meeting less than 3 years ago and were opposed to the same development. Why is the city of Southlake
revisiting this issue? Nothing has changed. Shady lane is still a 2 lane street, no sidewalks, and too narrow for our
kids to walk or safely ride their bicycles.
I will be at the meeting on the 9th. The city council should not allow a developer to bring the same plan back in such a
short period of time!

I wish to voice opposition to existing plans for Darby Lane/Richmond Estates accessed off Shady
Lane in Southlake SPIN 4
The City of Southlake has considerable effort in the Master Plan. I stand against any effort to
change the well thought out standards and limits. The planned density in the first phase and
obvious planned second phase come close to doubling the community population in about
15% of the space. Currently the mostly older neighborhood (all streets off Shady Ln) has one
acre lots. The newer places off Kimball meet the current Master Plan standards.
1. I live on the creek that runs through the neighborhood. I saw considerable increase in
run-off water flow when Highway 114 was completed several years ago. Adding
buildings, driveways, streets, etc. will add even more water to the creek. I am very
concerned. My home is about 500 feet downstream (North) from the proposed
development one lot East of Shady Lane.
2. Adding 23 or later a near total 50 additional residences will have a large increase in
traffic on Shady Lane. Access to the development from 114 Eastward will be short on the
South end of Shady Lane, however, any entry from West of Shady Lane (all of Southlake)
will use the entire length of Shady from Kimball to 114. I strongly oppose widening
Shady Lane.
Please stay with the plan which has worked for Southlake citizens.
Respectfully Submitted

Southlake City Council
1400 Main Street, Suite 270
Southlake, Texas 76092
Dear Mayor Terrell and Ladies & Gentlemen of the Council,
I hope you will deny any application from JTS Holdings to develop Darby Lane Estates
near Shady Lane & Hwy 114.
Zoning rules in that location clearly prohibit lots of less than one acre. If a permit is
granted, can I assume that I'm free to subdivide my lot for three additional home sites?
Shady Lane today includes lots with numerous mature native oaks. If this proposed
development includes improvements on Shady Lane that require removing these valuable
trees, I must object strongly!! These trees improve my property values significantly more
than would the addition of 22 small home sites.
Sincerely,
Sara Alexander
Homeowner

tra\,el down Shady Lane - causing a decrease in the property values for the homeowners living on Shady Lane
and encroaching on their right to enjoy their property. The increased traffic from the higher density zoning will
cause this to be more than a temporary situation. If a neighborhood of this density is allowed to be built, they
should be required to have the ONLY entrance to the neighborhood off of the SH114 frontage road.

should make every effort to preserve the Shady Lane neighborhood and require the developer to purchase
property for access from 114 service road, similar to the entrance to Austin Oaks, just east of this development.

Message to the City : I am OPPOSED to the proposed Remington Estates plan (CP13-009, ZA13-134, ZA13-
140). Medium density is completely inappropriate for this area and the current infrastructure. If residential homes
are built at this site, they should be constructed on a minimum of 1-acre homesites, consistent with the
surrounding area, without any necessity to increase Shady Lane, which is a very narrow, 2-lane back road, and
certainly inappropriate for ANY increased traffic, The most appropriate use for this acreage, based on the current
infrastructure and property values, are "estate" homes of several acres, perhaps limited to 3-5 homes per 10
acres.
Please consider the totality of the circumstances and what it will do this area.
Thank you.

February 4, 2014
To: Southlake Planning and Zoning, and City Council
Our names are James and Karen Mertz. We are the owners of 8 X acres at 409 Shady Lane in Southlake.
When our family originally purchased the property in 1998, we were able to access the property directly
from SH-114, via a drive/easement through what is now the Bonola property. The same is true for the
two neighboring properties, owned by the Fusella and Laturno families.
That all changed when the city approved the initial development plan and plat of the property where
that access drive was located. In effect, the result was that our access from the south was cut off, and at
the same time no provision was made to require a ROW stub be extended to the edge of our properties
for proper future access (as we understand is normally standard procedure). When we realized what
was about to happen, we made our objections known, but were told we were too late in the process to
stop it.
Since then, we and our neighbors (the "isolated three") can only get to our land by a gravel drive down
the side of the southern lot of the subdivision to,the west of us, from Shady Lane, as there are no public
street right-of-ways connecting to any of our properties, from any direction. While the gravel drive does
allow us to get to our property, we have come to find out that it is a big impediment to any potential
development of our land, which would require public street access. In fact, we have been told we
cannot even build a home on our property, which was our original intent, because of the lack of street
accessl
We are not developers, but once we found ourselves In this situation, we have been trying to sell this
property to someone who is, for almost 10 years now, without success. Several interested buyers have
looked at it, but they have not been able to solve the access problem we were left with. It has had a
severe impact on the value of our property.
Finally, however, there is a solution! The development group before you tonight has come forward at
the same time the owners of the lot, where we get our gravel road access, have decided to sell their
home, thereby providing a means to extend a proper public right-of-way to our isolated properties. At
great expense, the developers have agreed to purchase the Bradford home and property, and build a
public roadway through it, providing access to all three of our properties. They are not proposing to
replace the Bradford home with smaller lots, or even a single home on the property; just a beautiful,
winding, estate -like entryway leading to the future homes on what is currently the Laturno's and our
property. The third property owners, the Fusella's, are not selling their property, but they will also
benefit by receiving street access to the edge of their property. It is truly a win/win for our neighbors
and us.
Case No. Attachment E
ZA13-134 Page 19
Now, we fully understand that the Planning and Zoning Commission, as well as the City Council, is
charged with making sure any new development is compatible with the surrounding property and
existing homeowners, and we believe the proposal before you tonight is extremely well thought -
through, and accomplishes that goal. It provides generous landscaped buffers to all adjacent property
owners. Only one lot adjoins the neighbors, and it will replace a home which is already there. It is larger
than an acre and would therefore be completely compatible with their low -density lots. Only where
completely removed from the neighboring homeowners would any of the "smaller" lots be placed, and
remember- those smaller lots need to be compatible with what they are next to as well, and they would
be adjacent to the commercial development and freeway noise to the south, and the smaller -yet lots to
the east in Grapevine, and will serve to help transition to the larger lots to the north.
We have heard much from the neighbors about a possible increase in traffic, however, when the experts
(traffic engineers, confirmed by city staff) are asked to analyze the resulting traffic flow and number of
trips generated, the effect is "insignificant."
In summary, this is a creative and entirely appropriate solution to the problem, and should be approved
as is. We fear that not doing so will lead to a missed opportunity to solve a problem that we have been
dealing with for years and years and this may be our only chance for some time.
Please, approve this tonight.
Thank you-

My name is Carol Laturno, I am the owner and resident at 413 Shady Lane. I have lived at this address
for over 21 years. For various reasons I recently decided to sell my property and move. One of the
reasons was to downsize from a 2+ acre lot that is difficult and expensive to maintain. My neighbors,
the Fuseila's and Mertz, and I have an access problem. Over time and forwhatever reasons the City has
approved Commercial Development along Hwy 114 and residential development on Shady Lane that has
left us only with a small gravel road off of Shady Lane as access. This has left us with property that is less
valuable than similar properties in the City that have access to a public road. The developers who have
our property under contract have come up with a very good solution to the problem,
The developer's plan with the winding road coming in from Shady Lane and the large amount of open
area seems to fit very well with the area. It looks to me like it is very similar to what is there now
except for a wider entrance that looks like you are entering through a park. The lots and homes they are
proposing are isolated in an area that I don't see how could have any effect on the rest of the
neighborhood. In fact I think their entrance and the development will add value to the neighboring
properties.
I would simply ask that you consider us, the owners of the property in question, and the problems we
have in selling our property. These problems are no access, the proximity of Hwy 114 and Commercial
Development adjacent to us. We have an opportunity to sell and the developers have produced, what I
believe to be, a very attractive plan and solution that will benefit the neighbors as well as us. Please
vote in favor of the proposed Remington Estates development.
Thank you

Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission:
Our names are Paul and Jean Lehmann. Due to overseas travel
and recent surgery neither of us are able to attend this meeting.
We have asked Linda Stewart to read this letter on our behalf.
We reside at 1100 Shady Lane and are concerned about the
multiple rezoning requests for the properties at 405, 413 and 395
Shady Lane.
Southlake's uniqueness of high quality residential communities
coexisting with rural attributes is what drew us to this area when
we relocated in 2006. We believe these qualities still hold true
today and Southlake continues to attract residents with the
same values. Changing the zoning in this area does not support
Southlakes's vision statement to enhance Southlake's status as
a desirable, attractive, safe, healthy and fiscally -sound
community with quality neighborhoods.
We would request that the zoning commission continue with the
2030 plan for future development and deny the zoning change
from essentially low density single family homes to Residential
Planned Unit Development.
Sincerely,
Paul and Jean Lehmann

WHEREAS, the City of Southlake, Texas is a home rule City acting under its Charter
adopted by the electorate pursuant to Article XI, Section 5 of the Texas Constitution and
Chapter 9 of the Texas Local Government Code; and,
WHEREAS, pursuant to Chapter 211 of the Local Government Code, the City has the
authority to adopt a comprehensive zoning ordinance and map regulating the location and
use of buildings, other structures and land for business, industrial, residential and other
purposes, and to amend said ordinance and map for the purpose of promoting the public
health, safety, morals and general welfare, all in accordance with a comprehensive plan; and,
WHEREAS, the hereinafter described property is currently zoned as "AG" Agricultural
and "SF-M" Single Family Residential District under the City's Comprehensive Zoning
Ordinance; and,
WHEREAS, a change in the zoning classification of said property was requested by a
person or corporation having a proprietary interest in said property; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Southlake, Texas, at a public hearing called
by the City Council did consider the following factors in making a determination as to whether
these changes should be granted or denied: safety of the motoring public and the pedestrians
using the facilities in the area immediately surrounding the sites; safety from fire hazards and
damages; noise producing elements and glare of the vehicular and stationary lights and
effect of such lights on established character of the neighborhood; location, lighting and types
of signs and relation of signs to traffic control and adjacent property; street size and
adequacy of width for traffic reasonably expected to be generated by the proposed use
around the site and in the immediate neighborhood; adequacy of parking as determined by
requirements of this ordinance for off-street parking facilities; location of ingress and egress
points for parking and off-street loading spaces, and protection of public health by surfacing
on all parking areas to control dust; effect on the promotion of health and the general welfare;
effect on light and air; effect on the over -crowding of the land; effect on the concentration of
population, and effect on transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks and other public
facilities; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Southlake, Texas, further considered
among other things the character of the districts and their peculiar suitability for particular
uses and the view to conserve the value of the buildings, and encourage the most
appropriate use of the land throughout this City; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Southlake, Texas, does find that there is a
public necessity for the zoning changes, that the public demands them, that the public
interest clearly requires the amendments, and that the zoning changes do not unreasonably
invade the rights of those who bought or improved property with reference to the
classification which existed at the time their original investment was made; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Southlake, Texas, does find that the
changes in zoning lessen the congestion in the streets, helps secure safety from fire, panic,
