[00:00:04]

GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS RYAN FIRESTONE, AND I'M YOUR HOST FOR THE SPIN MEETING TONIGHT.

THE PURPOSE OF SPIN IS TO GAIN FEEDBACK FROM CITIZENS ON DEVELOPMENT RELATED PROJECTS AND OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST IN THE COMMUNITY.

SPIN IS AN INFORMATIONAL MEETING AND NO VOTES ARE TAKEN.

SPIN IS STREAMED LIVE THROUGH SOUTHLAKE TV ON THE CITY'S MAIN WEBSITE CITYOFSOUTHLAKE.COM NEXT, WE WILL SHOW A BRIEF VIDEO INTRODUCTION OF THE SPIN PROGRAM BY SOUTHLAKE MAYOR SHAWN MCCASKILL.

FIRST OF ALL, SPIN STANDS FOR SOUTHLAKE PROGRAM FOR THE INVOLVEMENT OF NEIGHBORHOODS.

AND THAT'S WHERE YOU COME IN. THIS IS THE FIRST STAGE IN OUR VERY THOROUGH AND EXHAUSTIVE REVIEW PROCESS FOR NEW DEVELOPMENTS HERE IN SOUTHLAKE, AND WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING PART OF THAT PROCESS.

TONIGHT YOU'LL HEAR A PRESENTATION FROM THE APPLICANT WHO'S LOOKING TO DO POSSIBLY A NEW DEVELOPMENT HERE IN SOUTHLAKE.

YOU WILL GET A CHANCE TO ASK QUESTIONS, BUT THERE WILL NOT BE ANY VOTES TONIGHT THAT WILL COME LATER WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING YOUR COMMENTS AND GETTING A REPORT ON WHAT IS DISCUSSED TONIGHT AS WE GO THROUGH THIS REVIEW PROCESS AT THE PLANNING AND ZONING AND CITY COUNCIL LEVELS.

YOUR INPUT, BOTH FOR AND AGAINST THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT, IS ESSENTIAL.

AS WE LOOK AT WHAT OUR RESIDENTS THINK WHEN WE'RE MAKING OUR DECISIONS.

WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE TONIGHT AND BEING PART OF OUR PROCESS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME TONIGHT.

WE DEVELOPED AN ONLINE SPIN FORM FOR RESIDENTS TO SUBMIT THEIR QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS IN ADVANCE OF THE MEETING IF THEY ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND.

I WILL READ THROUGH ANY OF THOSE SUBMISSIONS AFTER THE RESIDENTS IN ATTENDANCE WHO HAVE QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SPEAK.

AFTER THE APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION. THOSE IN ATTENDANCE WITH QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS CAN USE THE MICROPHONE IN THE AISLE FOR THE Q&A PORTION OF THE MEETING.

WITH THAT, LET US GET TO OUR APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION.

[2. SPIN2026-02 – An applicant is proposing a 36-lot luxury single-family residential subdivision located at 300-684 Davis Blvd., within SPIN Neighborhood #11.]

JODY BOYD IS HERE TO PRESENT OUR ONLY ITEM ON THE AGENDA THIS EVENING, WHICH IS SPIN2026-02.

AN APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A 36-LOT LUXURY SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION LOCATED AT 300-684 DAVIS BOULEVARD WITHIN SPIN NEIGHBORHOOD, #11. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AS YOU SAID, MY NAME IS JODY BOYD WITH BRIDGEROCK DEVELOPMENTS, MY BUSINESS PARTNER, TROY LEWIS. Y'ALL MET EARLIER. WE'RE PLEASED TO PRESENT TO YOU ALL BEAR HOLLOW THIS EVENING.

HERE'S THE PROPERTY. 21 AND SOME CHANGE ON THE WEST SIDE OF DAVIS BOULEVARD.

I'M SURE YOU GUYS ARE ALL FAMILIAR WITH IT. JUST A LITTLE BIT SOUTH OF THE HTEAO THAT'S THERE, AND THE SONIC THAT'S BEEN THERE FOREVER AND EVER.

I THINK I MIGHT HAVE GONE TO THAT SONIC WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL. SO THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN, SO WE DON'T OPERATE WITHIN A, WITHIN A VACUUM, RIGHT? SO WE TAKE OUR CUES FROM THE CITY'S PLAN FOR WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE HAPPENING WITHIN THE CITY.

AND THAT'S CODIFIED HERE IN THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN OR THE FLUP THAT WE HAVE HERE.

A FUTURE LAND USE PLAN HAS A, IS MIXED-USE.

THAT COULD BE ANYTHING FROM RETAIL TO SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES, WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TODAY.

EXISTING RETAIL TO THE NORTH OF OUR SITE HERE.

I DON'T KNOW IF THE MAP WORKS RIDGEVIEW ACROSS THE STREET.

THOSE ARE ALL 9,000 TO 12,000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS.

HIDDEN KNOLL JUST SOUTH OF THAT. WE WERE, I WAS ACTUALLY A DEVELOPMENT PARTNER AND BUILT HIDDEN KNOLL ACROSS THE STREET BACK IN THE TEENS, 2014 AND 2015. SO VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS AREA.

WE HAVE BROCK LANE TO OUR WEST AND THEN OF COURSE STONY BROOK A LITTLE FURTHER WEST ACROSS THE CREEK FROM US.

WE FEEL LIKE WE FIT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, SO TO SPEAK, WITH OUR LOT SIZES.

WE'RE DEFINITELY A LITTLE BIGGER THAN RIDGEVIEW FROM AN AVERAGE STANDPOINT.

WHICH I'LL SHOW YOU HERE IN A SECOND. SO THIS IS THE PREVIOUS PROPOSAL THAT WAS BROUGHT IN.

2024 THAT LOST THAT WAS DENIED AT ZONING. WHEN I REACHED OUT TO Y'ALLS HOA, THE STONY BROOK HOA.

I SPOKE WITH DYLAN HOLMES THERE. WHAT WE LEARNED FROM THAT AND FROM, FROM LOOKING AT THE PRESENTATION TO CITY COUNCIL WAS THE FOUR AND FIVE STORY BUILDING THERE WAS VERY PROBLEMATIC. I CAN APPRECIATE THAT.

YOU DON'T WANT TO LOOK OVER THE TREES TO A BIG MONOLITH UP THERE.

SO JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, THIS WAS PREVIOUSLY PROPOSED.

WE'RE GLAD IT FAILED SO THAT WE COULD HAVE OUR OPPORTUNITY HERE. SO THIS IS THE SITE.

IT IS 36 SINGLE-FAMILY LOTS. WE ARE, YOU KNOW, WE COMPLY WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN.

SO THERE'S NO CHANGE THERE. WE ARE PROPOSING A RPUD, WHICH IS A RESIDENTIAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT.

SO IT ESSENTIALLY IS ITS OWN ORDINANCE FOR THIS SUBDIVISION SPECIFIC TO THE SITE IN ORDER TO COMPLY AND HELP US DELINEATE THE SITE.

[00:05:08]

A COUPLE OF THINGS I WANT TO POINT OUT. A MAJORITY, A VAST MAJORITY OF THE LOTS FRONT ARE BACK TO OPEN SPACE.

THAT'S ONE OF THE DESIGN ELEMENTS WE HAD AS WE AS CURTIS WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS FOR US TO DESIGN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IS WE REALLY WANTED A BUNCH OF OPEN SPACE.

IN FACT, WE'VE GOT ALMOST 30% OPEN SPACE ON THE PROPERTY.

SO QUITE A BIT OF OPEN SPACE THE TREES AND STUFF TO THE WEST, YOU CAN KIND OF SEE A FAINT OUTLINE OF A BARN THAT EXISTS TODAY HERE ON THE WEST SIDE, WE ANTICIPATE WILL PROBABLY DEMO THAT BARN. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET INTO THE FLOODPLAIN AND GO IN THERE AND START DOING A BUNCH OF GRADING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TRAILS THAT RUN NORTH TO SOUTH, THAT PEEKABOO INTO THE STREET IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO A COUPLE DIFFERENT WAYS TO KIND OF ACCESS THAT TRAIL AS IT TRANSITIONS FROM NORTH TO SOUTH ON OUR WEST SIDE OF OUR SITE.

GROSS DENSITY OF 1.7, SO PRETTY LOW THERE. AVERAGE SQUARE FOOT OF OUR LOTS IS 13,942.

SO ALMOST 14,000 SQUARE FOOT LOT LOTS ON AVERAGE.

SO WE'LL BE SURE TO POINT THAT OUT. SO HERE IS OUR SUMMARY TABLE.

YOU CAN SEE BEAR HOLLOW, OUR LOT RANGE VERY COMPARABLE TO RIDGEVIEW HIDDEN KNOLL ACROSS THE STREET 9,000 TO 16,000.

SO WE'RE ACTUALLY A LITTLE BIT BIGGER FROM AN AVERAGE LOT SIZE AND A LOT RANGE SIZE FROM OUR NEIGHBORS ACROSS THE STREET ON DAVIS BOULEVARD.

STONY BROOK'S A LITTLE BIGGER ON THE AVERAGE SQUARE FOOT SIDE THAT 15,000 TO 34,000.

I THINK THERE'S ONLY ONE OF THEM THAT'S 34. THE MAJORITY OF THEM, I THINK, ARE MORE IN THAT 20,000 SQUARE FOOT RANGE.

AND THEN OF COURSE, THE EXISTING KIND OF GRANDFATHERED BROCK LANE THAT HAS A BIGGER, LARGER ONE ACRE LOTS AND SOME HALF ACRE LOTS THERE AS WELL.

SO YOU KNOW, WE. WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS A LONG TIME, ABOUT 25 YEARS NOW.

WE'VE BUILT MULTIPLE SUBDIVISIONS IN THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE, INCLUDING.

HIDDEN KNOLL ACROSS THE STREET THERE. WE'RE GOING TO TARGET CUSTOM HOME BUILDERS ON THIS PROPERTY.

IN FACT, I'VE ALREADY REACHED OUT TO A LOT OF THE NORMAL USUAL PLAYERS HERE IN SOUTHLAKE FOR A CUSTOM HOME STANDPOINT.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TARGETING ON THIS PROJECT IS LUXURY CUSTOM HOMES.

WE THINK IT FITS WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. ONE OF THE THINGS I DO WANT TO POINT OUT HERE IS IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR, DRIVING UP AND DOWN DAVIS, THERE'S A DRIVEWAY THAT COMES UP STRAIGHT OFF DAVIS RIGHT HERE THAT HAS LIVE OAKS LINING EACH SIDE OF THE DRIVEWAY.

I HAVEN'T GOTTEN THE AERIAL PHOTOS JUST YET, BUT I BELIEVE MY FAMILY PLANTED THOSE TREES IN THE 80S.

MY GRANDPARENTS OWNED A PLANT NURSERY HERE CALLED REAGAN'S PLANT FARM, SO I'M NOT GOING TO CLAIM IT JUST YET, BUT I'M ABOUT 80% SURE THAT I WAS A PART OF PLANNING THOSE LIVE OAKS BACK IN THE 80S WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL AND JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL HERE.

ONE OF THE THINGS WE HEARD AS WE STARTED THIS PROCESS WAS TREES AND HAVING A NURSERY BACKGROUND THAT'S OBVIOUSLY NEAR AND DEAR TO OUR HEARTS.

THE, THE TREES THAT ARE HERE IN THE ROAD. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THOSE TREE SERVICE COME OUT AND DIG THOSE TREES AND MOVE THOSE TREES THAT WOULD OTHERWISE JUST BE KNOCKED DOWN INTO OTHER PARTS OF THE OPEN SPACE THROUGHOUT THE SUBDIVISION.

WE ANTICIPATE LEAVING THIS DRIVEWAY, CONCRETE DRIVEWAY HERE TO CONNECT TO OUR SIDEWALKS IN THIS OPEN SPACE.

THIS ONE ON THE OTHER SIDE, WE'RE GOING TO REMOVE THAT, THAT CONCRETE DRIVEWAY.

AND REALLY, SO YOU KIND OF HAVE LIKE AN OPEN SPACE, A WINDOW INTO THE SUBDIVISION AND THE OPEN SPACE WITHIN THE, WITHIN THE DEAL AS WELL. SO YOU KNOW, SHORT AND SWEET TONIGHT WITH THAT, I'LL OPEN IT UP TO QUESTIONS.

IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANYTHING, PLEASE COME TO THE MICROPHONE SO THEY CAN RECORD THAT, BUT WE'RE HAPPY TO TO ADDRESS ANY CONCERNS YOU MIGHT HAVE OR ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS FURTHER.

GARY BETHUNE I JUST WANTED TO SEE IF YOU COULD TALK ABOUT THE ACCESS TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD OFF OF DAVIS BOULEVARD JUST TO.

OKAY. YEAH. LISTEN TO THAT.

WE REACHED OUT TO TXDOT TO DELINEATE THEIR PLANS.

THE CURB CUT THAT'S GOING. TO COME THAT MATCHES THE NEIGHBORHOOD HERE TO THE EAST RIDGEVIEW.

SO WE'VE LINED UP OUR ENTRANCE RIGHT THERE WITH WHAT TXDOT HAS ALREADY GOT PLANNED FOR DAVIS BOULEVARD.

NOW, ON THE SOUTH, THIS WILL JUST BE A RIGHT TURN EXIT FROM OUR SUBDIVISION.

THERE'LL BE A MEDIAN HERE THAT WE CAN'T GET ACROSS.

SO THAT'S THE PLAN IS THOSE TWO MAIN POINTS OF ACCESS.

THE MAJOR ONE THEY'RE ACROSS FROM RIDGEVIEW THAN THE ONE FURTHER SOUTH.

OKAY THANK YOU. AND NO ACCESS ACROSS THE CREEK TO THE WEST.

IT'S ALL EASTWARD FACING. RIGHT. OKAY. YES, SIR.

THANK YOU. OKAY. WELL, WE SURE APPRECIATE Y'ALL'S TIME. WE KNOW THIS IS A HASSLE TO COME OUT OF YOUR DAILY SCHEDULE, AND WE APPRECIATE IT.

[00:10:04]

IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS GOING FORWARD.

I HAVE CARDS HERE. OH, SURE.

ACTUALLY, WE'RE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF DAVIS RIGHT NOW. WE'RE MOVING IN TWO WEEKS TO THE OTHER SIDE.

OH, OKAY. JUST WANTED TO. YEAH, JUST TO MEET AND EXCELLENT. WELL, AND, YOU KNOW, I KNOW IT'S A HASSLE, BUT WE WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT AT COUNCIL AND P&Z NEIGHBORS SUPPORT GOES A LONG WAY TO, TO GET TO CREATE THESE SUBDIVISIONS.

SO IF YOU WOULD BE WILLING TO SEND AN EMAIL OR SHOW UP TO THE MEETINGS EVEN AND SPEAK, WE CERTAINLY WOULD APPRECIATE THAT. AND WE APPRECIATE YOU ALL BEING HERE TONIGHT AS WELL.

THANKS OH YES, SIR.

TYPICALLY NO I DON'T CURTIS CAN ANSWER THAT PROBABLY A LITTLE BETTER THAN I CAN.

I CAN SEND YOU A COPY OF THE PLAN ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THIS PRESENTATION? WE KEEP IT ARCHIVED FOR THE YEAR AFTER. YOU DON'T, YOU DON'T BY CHANCE HAVE THAT PHOTO OVERLAID NEXT TO OUR PROPERTY IN STONY BROOK JUST TO SEE I THINK THAT POOL IN THE UPPER LEFT IS RAYMOND'S, MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS.

AND WHERE THE HOUSE OF OTHERS NO, SIR, WE DON'T. WE CAN GET THAT. OH IS IT.

TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE. THERE. SEE WHERE.

SEE THAT POOL. OH YEAH. THAT'S WAY UP. THAT IS WAY UP YEAH. OKAY. I WOULD I THOUGHT I WAS LOOKING AT THE POOL DOWN BELOW.

BUT THAT'S, THAT'S A HUGE EXPANSE ACROSS I MEAN, YEAH, THAT'S SEVERAL FEET. YEAH AND LIKE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT WE DON'T INTEND TO GET.

IT KIND OF DELVES INTO YOUR SIDE OF THE PROPERTY LINE A LITTLE BIT.

AND THEN BACK I'VE GOT CARDS HERE. I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU ALL CARDS IN CASE YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR ANY CONCERNS WE HAVE WRITTEN QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. SO WE'RE GOOD.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU TO ALL FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION IN SPIN.

REMEMBER SPIN REPRESENTS THE FIRST STEPS IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.
