Action:

Case No. PD-220-SF-12, Alexander Court, to amend the land use
designation on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan from Neighborhood
Retail to Residential Low Density on approximately four acres of property
along Denton Tap Road and a zoning change request from C
(Commercial) to PD-220-SF-12 (Planned Development-220 Single Family-
12), with a Detail Site Plan, to allow the development of 26 single-family
homes on approximately 18+ acres of property located at the northwest
corner of Bethel and Denton Tap Roads, subject to the following
conditions:
1) Establish all common areas as separately platted “X” lots of
sufficient size to assure that all common area improvements (walls
and landscaping) are within those lots, and adjust lot sizes
accordingly.
??
These appear to be established; however, no two drawings
match (Site Plan, Landscape Plan, hand drawn, “Rock Wall
Center Line” plan and Screen Wall Entry Features Exhibit) in
terms of location of wall, materials used and wall heights.
2) Relocate the proposed wall along Denton Tap Road to the west side
of the existing sanitary sewer easements and revise Concept
Landscape Plan and common area lot accordingly.
??
It appears conceptually to be O.K., except the north end of the
fence needs to angle in towards property to provide access to
existing manhole. The sidewalk needs to be revised from 4’ to 5’
in width.
3) Complete the Tree Survey/Mitigation Plan as required in Sec. 12-
34-2 of the Zoning Ordinance, and compare to the Bethel Road
Improvement Plans.
??
Corrected retribution calculations are attached, per John Elias.
Additional surveying of trees in the creek area that are to be
preserved could potentially reduce the $18,700 fee. Also the
Landscape Plan needs to be sealed by a Landscape Architect.
4) Submission of HOA documents to assure perpetual maintenance of
all common areas.
??
No applicable documents submitted, and the notes on Plat/Site
Plan need to be revised – including, but not limited to, deletion
ag021307
Page 11 of 17
th
of “homeowners will be assessed $500 on Jan 15,” easement
wording needs to be added and spelling errors need to be
corrected.
5) Resolve the conflicts with the size of the property and the boundary
of proposed Lot 8.
??
Need to verify size of property.
??
Adding a PD condition which states “In the event that the Lot 8
property line is relocated, then this portion of the property shall
be rezoned and replatted.”
6) Add notation to the areas outlined in the cul-de-sacs and at the
entry drive that it is enhanced paving.
??
Note added, but due to it being in the street right-of-way, needs
to be stamped concrete and approved by the Engineering
Department. Enhanced paving will not be permitted at the
intersection of Ruth Way and Bethel.
7) The preliminary construction plans for Bethel Road show a grade
differential adjacent to Lots 21, 22, and 26. Please be advised that
prior to the installation of the screening wall and the development
of those lots, the correct grade that matches the Bethel Road plans
will need to be established.
8) Park Development Fees in the amount of $1,285.00 per lot.
9) Retain on the Planned Development Site Plan the note reading:
“The City of Coppell will not have responsibility for maintenance of
the floodway/floodplain area as shown herein. The maintenance
for these areas shall be the sole responsibility of the individual lot
owners adjacent to said areas. These areas are to remain free of
improvements that may obstruct the flow of storm water and
protected from potential erosion by the owners. No fences will be
allowed inn the floodplain or any other structures (pools, decks,
gazebos, etc.) per the City’s Floodplain Ordinance.

3) Resolve the conflicts with the size of the property and the boundary
of proposed Lot 8.
4) Add PD Conditions to Preliminary Plat as revised on the PD Site
Plan.

differential adjacent to Lots 21, 22, and 26. Please be advised that

of those lots, the correct grade that matches the Bethel Road plans
will need to be established.
6) Add a note to the Plat that Lots 7-19 cannot be built on until a
LOMA or LOMR has been obtained.
7) The plat shows that the existing 20-foot sanitary sewer easement will
be abandoned. Additional comments will be generated during the plan
review on the actual technique used to abandon the sanitary sewer
after the easement has been abandoned. This will require removal of
the existing manholes and plugging the ends of the existing sanitary
sewer lines.
8. Retain on the Planned Development Site Plan the note reading:
