At Tuesday's Southlake City Council meeting, developer Kosse Maykus stood in front of council for the first reading of a zoning change and development plan for Crescent Heights. After receiving several questions from City Council members and comments from citizens, Crescent Heights passed the first reading with a 5-1 vote. Shahid Shafi cast the dissenting vote.
Crescent Heights would consist of 57 residential lots on 57.95 acres. The development, which would be located at Southlake Boulevard and Shady Oaks Drive, would be built directly across from The Marq.
"Crescent Heights is being created to provide a neighborhood that meets the highest standards of Southlake," Maykus said. "These will be custom homes built by Calais Homes, Holmes Builders and Maykus Custom Homes. Each of these builders have a long-standing legacy of quality, creative homes."
The development came across some opposition from surrounding neighbors, who said the plan is too dense, will cause traffic congestion and will potentially cut down too many trees.
Maykus told City Council on Tuesday that he met with several of the neighbors to discuss some self-imposed restrictions to mitigate the impact on neighbors. Some proposals include:
1. Create a 10-foot fence/landscape easement on the common property line of our development and your lots.
2. Create a 20-foot tree preservation easement prohibiting the removal of any existing healthy and viable trees on our property adjacent to your lots.
3. Create a consistent 40 foot rear building line for single family home to be built on the lots adjacent to your lots.
4. Create an R-PUD regulation prohibiting any two story portion of a single family home to be built within 50’ of your lots.
5. Agree to install an 8-foot stained cedar fence within the proposed fence/landscape easement prior to the construction activities commencing on Crescent Heights.
6. Agree to include lots 16-19 in the deed restrictions of Crescent Heights for any homes to be built after the lots are sold and any new homes are proposed.
"We have worked with the neighbors, city staff and many others to create a lasting neighborhood on one of Southlake’s most iconic properties," Maykus said.
The second reading is scheduled for June 6.
