The Southlake Planning and Zoning Commission heard several Southlake residents voice their concerns over two new developments in a meeting Jan. 23 that ultimately ended with the commission's decision to table both issues until the next meeting Feb 6.

The proposed development plan of Remington Estates on Shady Lane, made an encore appearance after its first presentation by the applicant in a Jan. 9 meeting, said administrative secretary Holly Blake. The applicant presented a preliminary layout of the property, but was met with opposition from residents in the public hearing that followed.

Shady Lane residents expressed concerns the new development will cause, including construction traffic, drainage problems and the difficulty of the one-way access of SH 114.

"How many times do we have to shut it down?" asked one resident during his comments in the public hearing.

The second discussion involved an amendment to allow an assisted living facility for HarborChase of Southlake, which would be located at 250 Shady Oaks Dr.

Nearby residents opposed the amendment and expressed concern in the public hearing. Former mayor Rick Stacy was worried about the protection of the residential area and said the proposed development appeared more commercial.

Commission member Kate Smith said of the proposed facility, "There's a need for it, but it's not the right place. I think there are better places within our city that would be so great for this."

The commission moved to table both items for future consideration in February's meeting. If the items approved, Blake said they would then be presented before the City Council.
