PLATTING
Item 7: Consider approval of a final plat application with variances,
for Villages of Coppell, Phase II, located adjacent to Allen
Road on the west side, and 336 feet east of MacArthur
Boulevard, at the request of the Brooks Companies.
P & Z Coordinator Taryon Bowman introduced the item to the
Commissioners, and stated that the applicant is requesting a
variance to alley requirements.
Nathan Maier of Nathan Maier Engineering was present to
represent the item. Mr. Maier also stated that they are
requesting a variance to alley requirements.
The Commissioners brought up several questions in regard to
the alley variance. There were questions asked concerning the
building line as shown for Lots 1, 2 and 3 being 15 foot,
rather than 20 foot, as the others are. Taryon Bowman quoted
the Subdivision Ordinance in reference to the reasons for
alleys to be included. The Commissioners were also concerned
with not setting a precedence with this case, as far as
allowing the variance. It was also suggested that the
applicant escrow funds for future sidewalks. There was some
concern with lots 11, 18, 19 and 20 being cleaned up.
Following discussion, Commissioner Johnson moved to approve
the final plat with the following conditions:
1) all front set -backs be a minimum of 20 feet;
2) provisions for rear entry be provided for Lots
18, 19 and 20 on Calfont Court, and Lot 11 on
Arberdeen Court;
3) and the variance on the side yard for the
greenbelt.
Commissioner Pope seconded the motion; motion failed (3-4)
with Chairman Munsch and Commissioners Johnson and Pope voting
in favor of the motion, and Commissioners Green, Thomas,
Tunnell and Weaver voting against the motion.
Commissioner Green then moved to approve the final plat with
the following conditions:
1) that the access be provided to Lots 18, 19, 20
an 11 of Block E, with the 15 foot access easement
as shown and correctly amended to provide the full;
15 feet.
2) that all of the lots have a 20 foot front set -back;
3) that the northern property line, that has the
existing 10 foot drainage easement, include
the word access easement;
4) that the City Council give consideration to the
future construction of an alley -way in that access
easement at the time of future development.
Commissioner Weaver seconded the motion; motion carried (7-0).
Item 8: Consider approval of a preliminary plat and variances, for
Channel Pointe Addition, located at the southwest corner of
Parkway and MacArthur Boulevard, at the request of Argus
Properties.
Planning and Zoning Coordinator Taryon Bowman introduced the
item, and stated that staff recommends that the developer be
required to include alleys along the interior lots. All other
DRC comments have been addressed.
Mr. Don Peebles of P. R. Engineering was present to represent
this item. Mr. Peebles stated that the subdivision is
completely developed, and that they are wanting to reduce the
lots.
Taryon Bowman stated that staff does not see their purpose of
not including the alleys, and that staff does still recommend
that the alleys be included. She also stated that this is the
third time this case has come before the City. The first time
it was submitted, the developer failed to file the plat. The
second time, a different developer submitted the plans, but
was unable to pay the fees. Mr. Peebles represents yet a
third client working on this development. Ms. Bowman further
stated that staff understood, from the DRC meeting, that the
alleys, as well as all other DRC comments, would be addressed.
Following discussion, Commissioner Weaver moved to deny the
preliminary plat, and that the developer work with City staff
on consideration of alleys on the interior lots.
Commissioner Green seconded the motion; motion carried (5-2)
with Chairman Munsch and Commissioners Green, Thomas, Tunnell
and Weaver voting in favor of the motion, and Commissioners
Johnson and Pope voting against the motion.
Item 9: Consider approval of a preliminary plat for Valley Ranch
Plaza, Lots B -I, located at the southwest corner of MacArthur
Boulevard and Beltline Road, at the request of Dunning
Development.
Again Taryon Bowman introduced the item to the Commissioners.
Mr. Pat Donovan of Dunning Development was present
representing this case. Mr. Greg Kuhn of Albert Halff and
Associates was also present to answer any questions.
Following discussion, Commissioner Thomas moved to approve the
preliminary plat. Commissioner Weaver seconded the motion;
motion carried (7-0).
The meeting was then adjourned.
