Summary

The council approved a multi-item consent agenda 6–0 (including vendor contracts, art contracts and a $370,000 bid award) and approved on second reading a zoning change and site plan for the Willow Tree Gardens development, tying a proposed bank drive-through to the bank lease.

The Southlake City Council voted unanimously to approve the consent agenda and to adopt a zoning and site-plan change for the Overlook at Willow Tree Gardens on second reading.

Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Cathy Talley moved to approve the consent agenda; the motion carried 6–0. Consent items covered a range of routine approvals and contracts, including a vendor agreement with Stovall Corporation for fueling systems and equipment for the municipal service center and public safety training tower (amount not to exceed $1,015,000), an art contract with Dowdle Studios (not to exceed $125,000) and a contract with Brandon Taylor/DPA 23 Design Company (not to exceed $200,000) for municipal service center art, a bid award with Central North Construction LLC for phase 2 of the Green Ribbon Improvements Project (not to exceed $370,000), and a facilities utilization slate for local youth sports organizations. (The consent agenda vote was recorded as 6–0; the roll call tally by name was not read into the record.)

On zoning item 6a (Case Z825-006A), council considered a second reading and the site plan for the Overlook at Willow Tree Gardens, including a bank with a drive-through lane. Applicants Curtis Shannon (Sage Loop) and Travis Franks (Willow Tree Custom Homes) were present. Council clarified that the drive-through use should be limited to bank/financial institution use and tied to the bank lease (including any lease extensions); if a non-bank use sought to occupy the space, the drive-through would be required to be removed. Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Cathy Talley moved approval on second reading and the motion carried 6–0, approving a maximum two-story building with a footprint approximately 12,455 square feet and floor area approximately 24,910 square feet subject to the staff report.

Mayor Sean McCaskill noted public forum would open at 7:00 p.m.; no members of the public spoke during the forum and the meeting adjourned.
