FORUM SUMMARY
Property Situation:
305 S. Nolen Dr.
Development Details:
This item was presented previously at the March 2, 2015 SPIN meeting
An update was made to the Site Plan since the March 2 SPIN meeting,
Applicant has submitted these plans to the City and plan to go to P&Z in the near future
Corgan is partnering with IEG, an MEP engineering and consulting firm that designs
MEP infrastructure for primarily retail and educational projects
IEG is moving from their existing building in Grapevine to the site at 305 S. Nolen in
Southlake.
They are looking to build a 12,000 square foot one story office on the 1.8 acre site
Presenter noted the boundary and topographic surveys have been performed, along with
tree surveys as the applicants prepared the tree conservation plan. The presenter noted
the site plan has been designed around some of the more sizeable trees on the site
Applicant noted they looked at a 60 foot by 200 foot building block to necessitate the
12,000 square foot program
Applicant mentioned they are planning to wrap open office space around offices, work
rooms, and break rooms to allow for natural light to get into open office areas
Presenter said they will look at identifying outdoor amenity space on both the west and
east ends of the building
Presenter noted the front façade of the building was angled to align with the property
boundary along Nolen Drive
Presenter said at the time of original SPIN presentation, were targeting two access
points, but have since agreed to one point of entry which they will try to align with the
neighbors across the street with their drive aisle – also, have eliminated circulation
around the building. Presenter noted this change was discussed with the City in terms of
fire truck access and presenter believes this is a better solution
Presenter noted there will be a visitor and employee entrance to a common reception
area, with conferencing and meeting space along with the break room on the west end
of the building
Presenter also noted there will be a reception area near the restrooms which opens up
into the main work space
The presenter said the MEP Demo area will showcase MEP infrastructural components
given the nature of the facility and the east end is primarily office space which will open
onto the patio area
