Requested:
Ordinance No. 1118, 2 Reading, Approve ordinance for no
parking on Dean Way and Winding Ridge Trail and Bluffview
st
Terrace. (1 reading was approved on May 19, 2015)
Background
Information:
This ordinance, presented for Council’s consideration will, if
approved, establish parking restrictions on several new city streets.
st
The 1 reading for this ordinance was approved by City Council on
May 19, 2015.
Dean Way does not have sufficient street width for a commercial
street to accommodate a fire apparatus in the event vehicles are
allowed to park on either side of the street. The development
regulations that were approved by City Council under ZA13-109
Site Plan for Lots 1 and 2 at Legends of Southlake (staff report
dated December 11, 2013) stipulates that the street width
requirement shall be reduced to 31-feet from back of curb to back
of curb to reduce concrete, add turf area and eliminate on-street
parking. The standard commercial street width is 37-feet from the
back side of the curbs on each side of the street. This ordinance
will restrict parking along both sides of Dean Way from S. Kimball
Avenue to the entrance to Dragon Stadium. Furthermore, this
street was allowed to be constructed without a cul-de-sac generally
required by ordinance; however, the end of Dean Way is equipped
with a swing gate which is operable by CISD officials and Southlake
DPS.
The zoning change and development plan for Ridgeview at
Southlake was approved by City Council under ZA12-085 with a
staff report dated December 5, 2012 noting that the streets widths
around Ridgeview Park were not sufficient to allow a fire apparatus
to safely maneuver around the park. The standard residential
street width was reduced from 31-feet back of curb to back of curb
Item 6D
to 25-feet back of curb to back of curb. This ordinance will restrict
parking on both sides of Bluffview Terrace and on both sides of
Winding Ridge Trail in the vicinity of the Ridgeview Park.
Financial
Considerations:
There are no initial capital costs associated with this parking
restriction as signs will be furnished by the developers; however,
the maintenance cost of these signs will be the responsibility of the
city. Every 8-10 years, these signs are expected to have to be
replaced. Currently, the cost to replace a sign is $50/sign.
Strategic Link:
The adoption of Ordinance No. 1118 links to the City’s strategy
map relative to the focus area of Safety and Security by achieving
the highest standards of safety and security.
