Following a request from the developer Jody Boyd, president of Woodbridge Developments, Southlake City Council agreed to table consideration of a 36-home subdivision called Bear Hollow.

Council tabled consideration of the rezoning request and development plan by a 6-0 vote, with council member Austin Reynolds absent, during the May 19 meeting. The action came after area residents raised concerns about drainage and council members voiced density concerns for the neighborhood.

“It seems like you’ve heard the comments from all the council members,” Mayor Shawn McCaskill said. “We’ll give you some time to do some homework.”

The gist: The initial proposal for a 20.97-acre tract included 36 single-family lots with an average lot size of 14,259 square feet, according to city documents. The proposed neighborhood is located west of Davis Boulevard, near the intersection with Sunset Way.

Based on what was presented during the May 19 meeting, Boyd said it would generate around $100 million in tax value for the city.

Going forward: Council is expected to consider the case again June 16.
