quired by the City. The water and sewer pro -rata has not been paid at this

the cost of improvements to Sandy Lake Road and Moore Road that fronts this
particular property would also be paid by this developer. It is the staff

of-way and 350 feet East of Denton Tap Road.
Mr. Joel Robuck made the presentation to the Commission on this devlopment

road throughout the development. The proposed site plan meets all the sub-
division requirements with the exception of a 27' back to back residential
street section rather than a 29' back to back as required and the proposed
drainage facilities are inadequate to meet the requirements of the subdivision
regulations. It is the staff's recommendation that a six feet high screening
fence be constructed along the southern boundary of this property between the
industrial development and the single family residences. Commissioner Weaver
then declared the public hearing open and asked for those persons who
wished to speak against the proposed change. Mr. Ted Hoggatt was recognized
and stated his opposition. Commissioner Weaver then asked for those persons
who wished to speak for the proposed change. Other than the applicant, there
were none. The public hearing was then declared closed. Following discussion
by the Commission, Commissioner Adams moved that this zoning change be
recommended for denial; Commissioner Pope seconded and motion carried 3-0.

Hills Development for a zoning change from "SF -12" Single Family to a zoning
classification of "SF -7", Single Family and being a tract of land out of the

Lake Road, east of Coppell Road and west of the General Telephone Plant,
containing 17.5682 acres of land.
Mr. James Ray made the presentation to the Commission on this development
which presently is zoned for 44 single family lots. The requested zoning
change would allow 77 single family lots. Staff recommendation is that the
applicant request a zoning change of SF -9, Single Family rather than SF -7,
because of compatability with surrounding land use as well as open drainage
system being changed to a closed drainage system in compliance with our sub-
division regulations. The public hearing was declared open and Commissioner
Weaver asked for those persons who wished to speak against the proposed change.
Those persons speaking were Mr. Lanny Mayo, Mrs. Janice Phillips, Mr. and Mrs.
Craig Johnson. Commissioner Weaver then asked for those persons who wished

Shadydale Acres, also known as 162 N. Shadydale Lane, City of Coppell, Texas.
There was no -person present to discuss this item with the Commission. Staff
recommendation is that the zoning change be recommended for denial based on
the ingress and egress accessibility to the site and incompatability with the
existing residential land use adjoining the proposed site. The public hearing
was declared open and Commissioner Weaver asked for those persons who wished
to speak against the proposed change. Those persons speaking were Mr. Lanny
Mayo, Mrs. Betty Aldridge, Mr. Craig Johnson, and Mrs. Janice Phillips. A
petition opposing the proposed zoning change was presented to the Commission.
Commissioner Weaver then asked for those persons who wished to speak for
the proposed change. There were none. The public hearing was declared closed.
Following discussion by the Commission, Commissioner Adams moved that this
zoning change be recommended for denial; Commissioner Pope seconded and motion
carried 3-0.
The meeting was then adjourned.
