August 3, 1978
The Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Coppell met in special
called session on Thursday, August 3, 1978, at 7:30 p.m. in the Coppell
High School Library.
The following members were present:
Foy Layton, Chairman
Geren Burton, Co -Chairman
Thomas Rainey, Commissioner
Paul Ford, Commissioner
Commissioner Larry Wells was not present. Also present were City Admini-
strator James Elium and City Secretary Dorothy Timmons.
The meeting was called to order and everyone asked to stand while Chairman
Layton gave the invocation.
Following the invocation, Commissioner Ford moved that the minutes of the
previous meeting be approved as submitted; Commissioner Rainey seconded the
motion which carried 4-0.
Chairman Layton then stated that a public hearing to consider the zoning
change request by Coppell Area Joint Venture #2, Hunt Investment Corporation,
and Mr. Bert Meadows was open to the public for consideration. Mr. Bert
Meadows made a presentation on the proposed zoning change. He stated that
their land use plan called for Single Family Homes with approximately ten
acres at the corner of DeForest and Sandy Lake Road being Commercial. Houses
will range in price from $60,000 to $70,000 and will be built in four phases
over a period of three to four years. Mr. Travis Roberts from the engineer-
ing firm of Hunter & Associates stated that an additional 20 feet of right
of way is to be dedicated for future development of Sandy Lake Rd. Also,
the main East-West street of the subdivision which is called Briargrove, is
proposed to be made wider because of an existing sanitary sewer easement.
Briargrove is designed to be a collector street. The North-South,strect
called Meadow Run is designed to be a collector street, also. The area is
in the MUD district, and Mr. Meadow's firm has visited with the MUD district
to discuss plans for this development with them. Chairman Layton then
asked for comments from those citizens in the audience who wished to speak
for the proposed zoning change. There were no comments. He then asked for
those comments from the audience from those people who wished to speak a-
gainst the proposed zoning change. Mrs. Jane Grant came forward and questioned
the number of exits onto DeForest Road and asked what are the City's plans
for improvements of DeForest Road. City Administrator Elium stated that
DeForest Road is designed to be a 44 foot wide collector street. There will
be four 11 foot lanes. Mrs. Grant then questioned where the proposed'de-
velopment would start. Mr. Bert Meadows stated that they are planning to
start at'the Northwest corner of the subdivision with approximately 115 lots.
Possibly, they would start early next spring, but more likely it would be
the middle of the summer. Mrs. Grant then questioned the impact of the de-
velopment on the City. She referred to an article in Texas Town and City,
put out by the Urban Institute concerning the impact o developments on
City Governments. She questioned what the impact would be on the people,
what would be the increase of the traffic flow, the cross -streets kids would
be required to cross on their way to schools, the pollution increase factor
for air as well as water. Mr. Travis Roberts presented a written document
answering these questions. That document is attached as a permanent part
of these minutes. Chairman Layton then asked if there were any general
questions or discussion from the audience. Councilman Andy Grant stated
that he was concerned with the intersection of Sandy Lake and DeForest Road.
He felt that these streets were not capable of handling the traffic increase
that would result from this development. He also stated that he would like
to see an economic split in the price range of the houses and would also
prefer to see industrial development in the City before residential so
that the City of Coppell would not become a bedroom community. Mr. Bill
Johnson asked to be recognized from the audience and stated that he would
prefer to see a single family residential development in that area rather
than a multi -family development as it is presently zoned. Chairman Layton
then asked for comments from Mr. Jim Gilchrist, representing the School
Board, and Mr. Walter Bingham, who is superintendant of the Coppell schools.
Mr. Gilchrist stated that the School Board has been working for some time
on plans for the growth of the Coppell schools. An architect has been work-
ing on plans for enlarging the elementary school, as well as adding a
middle school and improving the High School. He stated that his own personal
comments were that he would like to see a walkway or a sidewalk along De -
Forest Road for the children to get to the proposed school site that is
near this development. Mr. Walter Bingham, superintendant of the schools,
stated that he was happy to see the Multi -Family zoning eliminated, because
he felt that this type of zoning presented more problems. He also felt
that there should be a price differential in the houses so that there would
be a cross-sections of persons living in the development. City Administrator
James Elium stated that he felt that the proposed subdivision needed to
allocate some space for parks, especially since it is close to a school, and
it is a rather large development. Members of the Planning and Zoning Com-
mission agreed that a greenbelt area or possibly a small park area needed
to be included in the proposed development. Following further discussion
on this item, Commissioner Rainey moved that the zoning change be recommended
for approval; Chairman Layton seconded the motion which carried 4-0.
The next item to be considered was the preliminary and final plats on the
Cottonwood Addition to the City of Coppell, Texas. Mr. Bill Thompson was
present to discuss this item. He stated that these lots are a minimum of
five acre tracts of land with houses being restricted to a minimum of,2800
square feet. The City Administrator stated there were two things that the
P & Z needed to consider. Number one was the cul-de-sac which is extremely
long, and Number two was the construction of the streets. He stated that
the subdivision ordinance states that the curb and gutter can be eliminated
on this size lots. Chairman Layton then asked for persons,7in the audience
who wished to speak for the proposed plat. There were no comments from -the
audience. He asked for those persons who wished to speak against the pro-
posed plat. Again, there were no comments from the audience. Commissioner
Burton questioned Mr. Thompson as to the starting date of the project. Mr.
Thompson answered that they propose to start 30 to 45 days after
final approval and hope to be finished by Christmas time. Following dis-
cussion on this item, Commissioner Ford moved that the final plat of Cotton-
wood Addition to the City of Coppell, Texas, be approved; Commissioner
Burton seconded and motion carried 4-0.
The next item to be considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission was
proposed changes in the present zoning ordinance. City Administrator James
Elium presented the Planning and Zoning Commission with a work copy of a
proposed zoning ordinance. He then stated that the Council had instructed
the P & Z to review it and make any recommendations they felt necessary.
It was decided that a work session would be held on this item at a later
date.
There being no further business to come before the Planning and Zoning
Commission, the meeting was then adjourned.
