Generally, the changes include the percentage of use from 75% Medical and
25% General Office to 50% Medical and 50% General Office; a decrease in
impervious coverage from 62.87% to 57.69% - resulting in a decrease in
parking spaces from 147 to 115; the applicant has also brought the interior
landscape into compliance so the original variance request has been removed;
and, the applicant has proposed to remove the existing wood and brick
screening wall and replace it with an 8' screening wall constructed entirely with
masonry.
On November 6, 2014, the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended
approval with multiple stipulations. Please see Attachment `A', page 3 of this
report for full motion details. In discussions with police department staff, it has
been determined that the motion sensor lights as requested by the
Commission, would not result in a safety hazard. The applicant has submitted
revisions accordingly for City Council consideration. Current opposition for this

RE: SOUTHLAKE VILLAS OFFICE DEVELOPMENT
310 E. Southlake Blvd., 2.8-Acre Tract
BHB Project No. 14.711.00
Department of Planning & Development Services:
On behalf of our client, Castle Development Group, we presenting this Site Plan submittal for the
proposed Southlake Villas project, located at 310 E. Southlake Blvd. The existing zoning for the 2.8-acre
tract is SP-1, and the current use is vacant. This tract is adjacent to existing single-family residences to
the west, north, and partially the east. The remaining portion of the eastern adjacency is commercial.
The City of Southlake Future Land Use Plan recommends the development of this tract to be
Office/Commercial Use. Our proposed plan is consistent with the current zoning and that land use
recommendation. As you may recall, this property was approved for a zoning change March 19, 2008
(Case ZAO-129), from Agricultural District to SP-1 Detailed Site Plan District with 0-1 Office District uses.
On November 4, 2009 this site was again re -zoned (Case ZA09-046) to process the revised site plan, and
was approved as submitted including all exceptions and variances from the previous zoning case. The
attached Site Plan shows proposed access to the adjacent commercial site, contingent on the owner's
approval, which we are currently requesting.
This proposed development consists of four 5,979 SF buildings, where three-quarters of the
developments building square footage will primarily be used for medical purposes, and one -quarter will be
general office. We anticipate the construction of this site to be completed in phases, starting with the
southwest proposed building.
In order to proceed with development we are requesting a change from the currently approved SP-1
Specific Site Plan District to a revised SP-1 Specific Site Plan District.
Statement of Intent and Purpose:
Our objective in this zoning request is to proceed with the development of the improvements discussed
above. The site layout, architecture, and landscape improvements have been designed as an easily
accessible site providing medical and professional office services to the community, while contributing to
the aesthetic enrichment of the surrounding neighborhood and the City of Southlake.
Design and Architecture:
The design approach for the buildings is to combine natural colors, materials, textures and architectural
detailing into a high quality, cohesive one-story development.

Ms. Fletcher,
As you know, our Planning and Zoning case was presented last Thursday, October 23r6, At that time we
were unaware of any opposition to our proposed development, however several adjacent property owners
attended the meeting and shared their concerns.
We are writing to share the changes to the proposed Site Plan, which have been made in order to address
these concerns. The items listed below have been revised to accommodate the adjacent property
owner's wishes.
• The proposed land use for the site has been revised to show 50% medical and 50% general
office.
• The proposed parking has been reduced to the minimum number of spaces required, in order to
increase the proposed landscaping and reduce the proposed traffic generated.
• The existing screening wall adjacent to the eastern commercial property has been removed, at
the request of the adjacent property owner.
• The existing brick and wood screening wall will be removed and replaced with an 8' screening wall
constructed entirely with masonry.
• The proposed landscaping has been increased and now meets or exceeds the City's ordinance.
These changes are shown in the revised submittal, anticipated to be presented at the November 6t"
Planning and Zoning meeting. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or comments at your
earliest convenience.
Please note that we are meeting with the adjacent homeowner's association Monday, November 3'd, to
share the revised Site Plan, and address any additional concerns prior to the Planning and Zoning
meeting.

FORUM SUMMARY:
Property Situation:
The property is located at 310 E. Southlake Boulevard.
Development Details:
Previous zoning change and site plan approval for this property was granted previously in
2007 and again in 2009 (ZA07-129 & ZA09-046). The reconfiguration of the proposed plan is
not consistent with the approved S-P-1 Detailed Site Plan District and site plan that is in place
so a new application for zoning change and site plan is required.
The proposal is for four (4) single -story office buildings ranging from 4,416 to 6,600 square
feet in size. The property is approximately 2.9 acres.

QUESTIONS / CONCERNS:
• What variances are you asking for? Impervious coverage looks like it exceeds what is allowed.
o We propose to construct a storm water detention basin to help with drainage issues. Our
impervious coverage is about 64.6%; the maximum allowed is 65%.
• What about the stacking depth? Will you be asking for a variance to that?
o That very well could be the case. We are planning a driveway off of Southlake Boulevard and
propose a connection to the property to the east which should help.

TREE CONSERVATION COMMENTS:
The proposed tree conservation plan does not conform to the Existing Tree Cover
Requirements of the Tree Preservation Ordinance 585-D. Sixty percent (60%) of the existing
tree cover is required to be preserved and according to the calculations provided only 7.9%
(3,612 sqft.) is proposed to be preserved. An S-P-1 regulation has been written to address
this item.

The only trees proposed to be preserved on the site are one (1) 6" hackberry in the southeast
corner of the property, two (2) oaks on the northeast border and seven (7) hackberry in the
northwest corner of the property. All of the trees are volunteer trees that have grown along the
fence line of the property and no internal quality trees are proposed to be preserved. If a fence
or wall is built along the west and/or east property lines the trees proposed to be preserved
would be altered.

As a resident of Diamond Circle Estates I have concerns about any commercial development that backs up
to any resident's home.
I have a fair amount of experience regarding these issues. My concerns revolve around privacy, security, noise
and property value impact.
Privacy issues for the residents directly affected by this proposed project can be minimized by providing a brick
fence of 7 ft or higher and the planting of trees or large gnawing bushes to create a barrier between the residents
and the businesses. This will help with noise and prcrAde some privacy and an incremental amount of security.
There is precedence for this as is evident by the plans negotiated by the residents and developer during the
project at 630 Southlake Blvd. the developer built a high brick wall and plarrted trees in the neighbors yard behind
the project and worked out an agreement to address lighting issues and refuse disposal.
The proposed buildings at Southlake Villas cannot have any windows of a height, either from elevation or basic
structural design which would allow visual access into neighbors property.
Property values, as you are aware, can be negatively impacted by poor esthetics. The proposed structures must
meet the highest standards of structural taste and decor.
I would be supportive of a project whereby the developer works directly with the residents who are most affected
by this commercial property and their privacy, security, noise and property %clue concerns are mitigated.
I will oppose a development which cannot provide these fundamental protections to the homeowners.
Regards,
FZch O'Day

Subject: Southlake Villas Development
Council members,
We are wilting with regards to Ordinance No. 480-542b (ZA14-082). My wife and
I live at 823 Pearl Drive in Southlake. When we decided to buy our home in
2009 we were fully aware of the zoning of the property that borders our eastern
property line. With young children, we spend many of our afternoons and
momings in our backyard that backs up to the proposed development. Recently
the new owners of this property have proposed the development of Southlake
Villas, a medical office complex, which will require a change in zoning. The
proposed change to Medical Office zoning will increase traffic patterns, noise,
loss of privacy and home value. We appreciate the efforts that the owners and
developer have made to help alleviate our concerns. However, we feel that the
proposed plan as it currently stands does not go far enough.
First, we request no more than 25% medical office use that is limited to the
southeast building. This will limit the total number of vehicles per day and keep
that traffic furthest away from any residential property. Also we need to be
guaranteed that these medical offices will maintain normal business hours. The
current trend for medical offices is to offer their patients extended and weekend
hours. These hours are good for the business, but they impose heavily on our
privacy and security. These hours are especially true of dialysis centers,
radiology suites, and sleep study centers. We find that these types of practices
or any practice with extended hours as unacceptable in residential areas,
Next, we propose several changes to help with privacy and noise
abatement. The current plan has no evergreens in the landscape design. We
propose a change in the landscape design to include 80% evergreens. This
ensures year round privacy coverage and noise abatement. Furthermore, to
ensure privacy we cannot have security cameras facing outward from the
proposed development into any residential property. Lastly, we want the parking
lights to have motion activation and be turned off by 9pm. This would limit light
pollution into our backyards and bedrooms and help with privacy.
We understand and want the owner of this property to have a successful and
profitable business. We believe that the requests that we have laid out here are
reasonable and is accommodating to all parties involved. If you have any
questions or would like to speak with us please call or email us.
Respectfully,

Dear Mayor and City Council,
We are not happy about the Planning and Zoning ruling last night about the Southlake Villas
project.
P and Z said that the project was much improved from two weeks ago, which is true. But not
improved from the original approval.
The developer want to go from zero medical to 50% medical. We think the increased traffic and
noise next to a residential area is not acceptable. We have agreed to 25% medical, but they say
that is not enough because of economics. They knew what was approved when they bought it,
same as i knew there was commercial behind my property when i bought it. We feel that the
approved plan was approved with a lot of thought and consideration and should be honored as it is
today. We tried to be reasonable and that is why we agreed to the increase of 25% medical, even
though the original plan has zero medical.
I have attached previous communication to help you understand the history. As elected officials we
feel you need to protect the residential areas that have made Southlake what it is today.

I have attached an email from Lorrie Fletcher dated August 26th. I spoke at the last meeting
concerning Southlake Villas and was very upset that I was not allowed to speak after the developer
and staff said that they did not know anyone did not like the proposal and the SPIN meeting was
not well attended. As you can see from the email in August, I was informed they were dropping
their proposal. I was not notified of the SPIN meeting and I faxed my opposition on the Monday
before the meeting. So, I was very confused why your committee was not informed that there was
opposition.
We met with the developer last night and are still confused.
1. They agreed to an 8 foot masonry fence. It is my understanding that was the original agreement
and they were trying to get brick and wood to save money.
2. They agreed to motion detection on 20 ft exterior lights after 9 PM. Great idea and appreciated.
3. They still want to increase medical use from 0% to 50%. 1 have concerns about noise and
traffic. I also have concerns about after normal business hours and weekend activity. Can they put
a 24 hour medical facility?
I would support an increase from 0% to 25% medical if they used the building on the south east
comer. But only if they were limited to normal business hours. The developer said that Doctors can
use the office space without changing to medical. That really confused me because I thought that

4. They agreed to increase landscape buffer. Which I appreciate. We also discussed last night,
they would use 80% evergreen trees to help with the noise in the winter. They said they were using
8-12 ft trees. The fence is 8 ft. They said in 5 years the trees will look like the drawings they

submitted. I think they should use 10 ft or taller trees to help with the noise now. I don't think we
should have to wait 5 years for the trees to grow taller than the fence.
I purchased the acre behind the proposal with the full understanding that there was an approved
commercial site adjacent to my property. I made the large investment in Southlake because I
thought the developer would have to honor the approved site plan.
The residents need protection, the problem that the existing approved plan is too expensive to build
is an issue the developer should have considered before they bought it.
Four years ago i sold my half of Southlake's largest homebuilding company. I understand that
things change and I understand business. I don't have the history that some of the other residents
have discussed with the multiple changes on this property. They discussed that Calloways was
rejected on this property because of traffic, seems like if this plan is approved the traffic would be
just as bad as Calloways. We have lived in Grapevine over 20 years and are very excited about
building our dream home in Southlake.
I want the developer to be successful and I hope that we can all enjoy the great town of Southlake.
I appreciate your time and consideration.

Mr. Blanchard,
We have an application in our office for a rezoning and site plan for that property, however, there
has been discussion that they are dropping their proposal and sticking with what was approved
years ago. I have not gotten any updates since that conversation. If they do move forward with their
application, you will be notified of public hearing dates. The buildings on the old and new site plan
are one-story.

Can you please update me on what is going on. I have a copy of the approved building layout from

It has notation on the approved sheets that they are to be one story buildings and I hope that is the
case.

Please forward to the members of the planning and zoning commission.
To the members of the Southlake Planning and Zoning Commission,
am writing you regarding case number ZA14-082 Southlake Villas.
My name is Mike Spinozzi and I live at 915A Emerald Blvd. My family has lived at this address for 8years.
was involved with the prior plan which was approved in 2007 and modified in 2009. During the review and
approval process both the planning and zoning commission and city council were concerned with the amount of
traffic and activity that this plan would generate and its subsequent impact on quality of life and property values
for the residents of Diamond Circle Estates. The approved plan was 31,000 square feet and estimated to
generate 403 vehicle trips per day. The residents were concerned with the density but were assured that these
would be low traffic, general offices with 8-5 hours on Monday through Friday. We were also given assurances
by the developer that extensive landscaping buffers would be used and a masonry wall would be constructed.
This was all acceptable and the plan was approved.
As we move to the current proposal it slightly reduces the density but GREATLY INCREASES THE TRAFFIC.
The current proposal is estimated to generate 520 vehicle trips per day which is a 29% increase or 117 cars per
day. That's a large increase in the amount of activity and noise especially given that the proximity of 6
residential homes.. The driver of the additional traffic is the proposed change to allow medical offices into this
development. The developer is proposing that 50% of the development be dedicated to medical offices. The
neighborhood is willing to compromise and allow 25% medical offices if they would be designated for building B
which is on the southeast part of the lot and it is the building furthest from the residents. Also, if 3 general office
buildings and 1 medical office were built the estimated vehicles per day would be 402 which is the SAME
AMOUNT IN THE EXISTING PLAN. We believe this is a fair compromise.
Further, we would like operating hours to be formally stipulated for this development at 8-5 Monday through
Friday.
The developer wants the flexibility to market to a broader potential tenant pool (medical community) and the risk
of a 7 day a week or even a 24 hour business is very real and quite unacceptable to the neighborhood. There
have to be firm , enforceable limits on the activity that is allowed on this property given its proximity to our
homes and neighborhood.
As you consider balancing the needs of the developer with the needs of the neighborhood please consider the
following question: what is the reason for this change? The developer has told us the current plan is
economically unviable. Well, he knew this when he bought it. Why should the neighborhood further compromise
quality of life and property values to improve the developers economic situation? We certainly don't need more
office space or medical office space in our community. We are willing to agree to 1 medical office building and 3
general office with stipulated hours.
The developer has also agreed to a masonry 8 foot wall and additional trees as noise and sight buffers. This is
appreciated and acceptable. The trees need to be at least 10 feet tall and evergreen. We will be losing several
25 inch oak trees on this property so every effort should be made to landscape the property accordingly. Lights
on the property should be motion activated after 9pm. Further, no security cameras should be allowed to
preserve our privacy.
Thank you for consideration.
Sincerely,
Mike Spinozzi

Myname is James Mellingerand I live at 919 Emerald BlvdSouthlake, Texas 76092. 1 am writing inregards to ZA14-
082. 1 was present atthe 10/23/2014 P&Z meeting as well as at a meeting on 11/3/2014 with thedeveloper and the
neighboring residents. I will be unable to attend the meetingon 11/6/2014 as I was previously scheduled to be out of
town. I would like to record myopposition to therevised plan that is being proposed. Although much progress has been
made in making this an acceptabledevelopment it is still contains too much medical square footage, which willcause
excessive traffic and noise which is unacceptable. One building of medical use, which was whatwas originally
proposed in the August 12, 2014 Spin meeting would bean acceptablecompromise. The developer isconsidering
turning off the parking lot light at night and making them motionsensitive, Ithink this should be required. I feel really bad
that they cannot save more of the ebsting trees; Ithink they need to be more creative and eliminate or relocate some
parking to makethis happen. I am also fearful of anysecurity cameras point at residential properties and think these
should not beallowed to protect our privacy. Also Iwould like some assurances as to thegeneral hours of operations of
these businesses. I understand the everybusiness has occasional times when some night and weekend work is
required but Iwould be opposed to any business located at this development where their normalhours of operation
included nights and lorweekends as this would severallyimpact the neighboring residents.
Thank You
