CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
Date: February 14, 2012
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Brad Reid, Director
Re: Update regarding the Coppell Aquatic and Recreation Center Expansion Project
Background:
The contractor for the expansion project at the Aquatics and Recreation Center is nearing
the end of the project and should be “turning over the keys” to the city in the next few
short weeks. The new cardio/weight room and exercise space was opened to the public in
late January and now the interior remodeling of the existing building is well underway.
Construction has now been ongoing for approximately 12 months and very little of the
building has been left untouched by the activities of the contractor.
Please recall that due to the nature of this project there were contingency funds identified
and allocated in the project budget so that the project could move quickly to completion
without delay. Some of the contingency funds were added into the construction contract
and others were identified as “project contingencies” and not added into the construction
contract. The contract with EMJ Construction included $113,498 as “buy-out”
contingency. This is an amount set aside for the contractor to finalize its contracts with
subcontractors that are still working on pricing and scope at the time of the contract
award. There was also included in the construction contract an “owner’s contingency” of
$100,000 that is set aside for items that arise during the project that are unforeseen or are
a change to the original anticipated scope. The current status of these two contingency
amounts is that they are nearing exhaustion. In fact, based on current contractor activity
and discussions with the architect and the city, both contingency amounts will be in the
negative by the time construction is complete.
There are numerous other items identified for funding in the project in fees, allowances
and contingencies. Attached is a chart of these elements and the funding allowed for
each. Of particular note is that identified in the budget is an “Owner’s Project
Contingency” of $138,990. None of these identified funds have yet been used.
The recommendation is that the Owner’s Project Contingency funds be utilized to finish
out the construction project with EMJ Construction and purchase necessary additional
furnishings and equipment. All purchases are required to be authorized by the Coppell
Recreation Development Corporation.
City Council Action requested:
No action is required at this time. This is an informational item.

Marcie Diamond - Toll Brothers PD Request
Dear Marcie,
We wish to register our strong objection to the planned development (PD) by the Toll Brothers behind our
home. This is the identical plan the Coppell Planning & Zoning Commission rejected last year. We are not
opposed to development behind our home, but we oppose this plan that adds more density than current zoning.
The PD increases the density along the fence line next to the homes on Rolling Hills. When this PD was rejected
before, we were reconciled to a plan under the current SF‐12 zoning that would have fewer houses across our
fence line, while the development was more evenly distributed elsewhere on the Toll Brothers’ property. To
now be considering a narrowing of the lots and an increase in the density is a much worse plan. We would
prefer to have the alley and the buffer it would create with fewer houses next to us than to pack more in on
cookie‐cutter lots with the rooftops practically touching each other like their Denton Tap development.
The reason Toll Brothers wants to do the PD with 23 lots instead of the SF‐12 with 24 lots is that they can make
more money with this PD. If they don’t want to reduce a lot from their overall number, PLEASE make them
revise their plan to reapportion their lot sizes to reduce the density on this side. The SF‐12 plan has seven lots
facing the homes of the Wilkersons, Capps, Louises, and Briscoes. The PD increases that to eight homes on
narrow lots. They could still build their 23 homes but change the lot sizes elsewhere. If they are not willing to
do this, we ask for the protections of the current zoning.
Notwithstanding my recent letter to you listing eight items various homeowners in this area think are
reasonable, there is only one thing that is critically important to me and my immediate neighbors. We will not
oppose the PD if Toll Brothers changes their plan to have only seven houses facing the four homes stretching
from my house south on Rolling Hills instead of the eight shown on their PD. This is a reasonable request. If
staff cannot recommend that, we would be very disappointed and feel as though our neighborhood was not
fairly considered by staff in its recommendation. If Toll Brothers does not adjust their lots elsewhere in the PD
so as to meet this reasonable request, we will work to defeat the PD request.
Yours truly,
Dean and Pam Wilkerson

STAFF REP.: Marcie Diamond, Assistant Planning Director
LOCATION: South side of Carter Drive, approximately 925 feet west of Moore Road
SIZE OF AREA: 20.28 acres of property
CURRENT ZONING: SF-12 (Single-Family 12) & A (Agricultural)

HISTORY: The Carter Addition, a 30-lot subdivision, was established in 1972 and encircled
an existing 0.5-acre cemetery. Deed restrictions placed on the property expired on
January 1, 2001. In 1990, a replat of Lots 3 and 4 was denied by Council. On
June 17, 2010, the Planning and Zoning Commission denied a requested replat of
Lot 18, to reduce the front building line from 50 to 30 feet, at 509 East Bethel
School Road.
Lot 1 of the original Carter Estates subdivision is within the current request area
and contains 2.95 acres of the 20.3-acre subject property.
The Carter Addition, Phase II, which is a five-lot subdivision has a long replatting
history. The original Final Plat was approved by the Planning Commission on
November 21, 1996. That plat was not filed for record prior to its expiration date,
ITEM # 5
Page 2 of 6
and therefore was deemed null and void. In 1998, a Final Plat for a reconfigured
five-lot layout was approved, but again, never filed for record. In October of 1999,
Council approved a five-lot Final Plat which was filed with Dallas County in
December of that year. On August 8, 2000, City Council approved a replat for Lots
1 and 2 Carter Addition, Phase II; however, it also expired. This replat of Lots 1 and
2 was approved again in November 2001, and was filed within the statutory time
limit. Since that time, all five homes have been constructed in Phase II of this
development.
On September 16, 2010, the Planning and Zoning Commission denied a request for
a preliminary plat, with variances, for 23 residential lots and one area common lot
on this 20.28 acres of property.
On November 9, 2010, City Council followed the recommendation of the
Planning and Zoning Commission and approved a preliminary plat with no
variances for twenty-seven (27) single-family residential lots and two (2)
common area lots on this tract of land.
On March 8, 2011, Council approved a Replat/Final Plat with no variances for 24
lots and two common area lots on this 20-acre tract of land. This plat has been
filed with the county, and is essentially ready for development.
TRANSPORTATION: Carter Drive and Christi Lane are two-lane, asphalt streets, built within 50 feet of
right-of-way. These streets do not have curbs or sidewalks.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - Single-family residences; Carter Addition, PD-248-SF-18 (Planned
Development-248-Single Family-18)
South – DART R.O.W. and Belt Line Road; A (Agriculture)
East - Single-family residences; Carter Addition, Phase II, PD-248-SF-18 (Planned
Development-248-Single Family-18)
West - single-family residences; Northlake Woodlands, Lots 5-10 SF-12 (Single
Family-12)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan of March 2011, shows the property as suitable for
Residential Neighborhood, which is defined as areas of low and medium density
single family, typically one to four dwelling units per acre.
DISCUSSION: This property is currently zoned, and platted for the development of 24 single
family lots under Single Family-12 District regulations. A Planned Development
zoning district is being requested to allow for several variances to the Subdivision
Ordinance, and to enhance several of the regulations in the base SF-12 zoning
district. The four variances to the Subdivision Ordinance being requested are;
the deletion of the alley requirement, the inclusion of a cul-de-sac which exceeds
ITEM # 5
Page 3 of 6
the 600-foot maximum length, the provision of mountable curbs and no sidewalks
along Carter Drive.
All of the 23 single family lots proposed exceed the minimum size as required by
the SF-12 district zoning, ranging in size from 13,175 square feet along the
western property line abutting Northlake Woodlands, to over one acre along the
southern portion of the property. These southern oversized lots incorporate the
flood plain area, similar to the lots in Phase II of Carter Estates.
NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY
While certain development rights are enjoyed by a tract of land that is already
zoned and platted for single family, compatibility and sensitivity to the existing
environment (development patterns, existing trees, etc.) must be considered when
evaluating any development request. North and east of the subject property are
Phases I and II of Carter Estates. These properties have recently been rezoned to
a PD-248-SF-18, to be more reflective of the existing development patterns. To
the west are Lots 5-10 Block 1, of the Northlake Woodlands subdivision, which is
zoned SF-12. These lots along Rolling Hills Road, abutting the area of request,
exceed 27,000 square feet (0.6 of an acre).
Carter Road Frontage
To be compatible with the homes/lots fronting on Carter Drive, two lots are
planned east of Heritage Oak Court and one lot to the west, all of which face
Carter Drive. Setbacks have been established which are reflective of the abutting
existing zoning patterns, specifically, a 30-foot front yard setback on the lot
abutting Carter Estates Phase II, (Lot 23) and a 50-foot front yard setback on the
lot abutting Carter Estates Phase I (Lot 1). To continue the streetscape as
established in this neighborhood, sidewalks, curbs and gutters are not being
proposed along Carter Drive.
West Property Line
As stated, this property abuts Lots 5-10, Block 1, of the Northlake Woodlands
subdivision. The existing lots abutting the area of request are generally just over
27,000 square feet, which is significantly larger than the 13,175-square-foot lots
proposed for this property.
The applicant has offered an increased rear yard setback on those lots abutting
Northlake Woodlands, from the minimum of 20 feet, as prescribed in the Zoning
Ordinance, to 35 feet. This essentially reflects the typical 20-foot required
setback plus the additional 15 feet in width that would have been equivalent to an
alley width, if not waived. This 35-foot building line would only be applicable to
the main structure, whereas pools, arbors and accessory buildings would still be
permitted within this area, which is throughout the city.
COMMON OPEN SPACE LOT
This plan includes an 11,148 square-foot common area lot in the center of the
property. This lot contains fifteen overstory trees (148 caliper inches), ranging in
size from eight to 17 caliper inches. It is the intent of the developer to retain this
lot in its natural state, except for the cleaning of the underbrush. This lot will be
fully irrigated and serve as an open space focal point for this neighborhood.
ITEM # 5
Page 4 of 6
NEIGHBORHOOD INPUT
On January 6th, staff received correspondence from Mr. Dean Wilkerson,
representing the Rolling Hills neighborhood and Carter Estates, Phases I and II,
requesting that Toll Brothers delay this request for 30 days, as well as consider
the following items:
1. reduction of one lot adjacent to Rolling Hills
2. eight-foot masonry wall along the western property line
3. homes fronting on Carter to have to have side or rear entry garages - and
no board on board fences on these lots
4. provision of an additional open space (x-lot) along Carter Drive
5. do more to save trees - save all trees greater than 20-inch caliper that are
not within the roads or building pads
6. Minimum house size of 3,200 square feet
7. require an HOA.
8. asphalt streets, and
9. no sidewalks along Carter Drive.
Attached to this Staff Report is the e-mail from Mr. Wilkerson and the response to
his requests by the applicant. Obviously, they did not agree to a delay or items 1
though 5. They did agree to a minimum house size of 3,200 square feet,
establishment of an HOA, asphalt streets and no sidewalks along Carter Drive.
Staff can not support asphalt streets, however no sidewalks, curbs or gutters along
Carter Drive is appropriate to be more compatible with the established
development pattern in this neighborhood. Staff can also support mountable curbs
(with sidewalks) along the new streets proposed within this development. The
paving width will be increased to 30 feet (back to back), within the 50 foot right-
of-way accommodate this street type. A follow-up e-mail from Dean Wilkerson
is also attached which reiterates their concern with the increased number of homes
backing to the homes along Rolling Hills.
On January 12, 2012, Staff received responses in opposition, from 26 of the
homeowners in Carter Estates, Phases I and II. All responses contained the same
attachments, including a letter, signed by each property owner stating that they
prefer the existing 24-lot plan (approved plat), because it provides: two
entrances and better traffic flow, fewer lots adjacent to the homes on Rolling
Hills, rear entry homes which will result in less cars parked on the street, an alley
which will provide a hard separation between neighborhoods, and a significant
more public green space in the 24-lot plan. A copy of the letter and all exhibits
are also attached to this Staff Report.
ITEM # 5
Page 5 of 6
Staff analyzed this request in comparison to the development rights which are
vested in virtue of having a 24-lot filed, and development-ready subdivision plat.
From a planning perspective, this current request:
Is more compatible with development patterns along Carter Drive, whereas the
approved plat has three lots that side onto Carter, which would permit wood
fences along the street, standard curb, gutter and sidewalks. Open space is
being provided internal to the tract.
Preserves significantly more trees (approximately 1,818 caliper inches)
The minimum house size has increased from 1,800 square feet, to 3,200 square
feet.
Retains the existing decorative metal fencing along the east and west property
lines. However, the location of this fence needs to be shown on the Detail Site
Plan and its maintenance defined.
Homeowners Association will be established, as required with all subdivisions
where there is common property.
On both proposals, there are smaller lots adjacent to the west property line than
the existing homes along Rolling Hills. The approved plat calls for a 15-foot
alley, and a 20-foot rear yard setback, with no other requirements. The PD
currently being requested includes a 35-foot setback for all main structures, and
the retention of the existing decorative metal fence. While the neighborhood is
requesting a construction of a masonry wall between these two developments,
staff cannot support that request because masonry walls are only required along
thoroughfares and between residential and non-residential uses.
The applicant has offered to limit the garage doors facing the street to a
maximum of two, throughout the entire development.
And, it reduces the number of lots from 24 to 23.
Staff recognizes the overwhelming opposition to this request by virtually all of the
abutting property owners, which exceeds the 20% threshold, requiring a super-
majority vote (6 out of 7) vote of Council to grant this change in zoning.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of PD-246R-SF-12, Carter Addition PH III subject to the
PD Conditions as offered by the applicant including, the 35’ rear yard setback along the west
property line, increased front yard setbacks, no curb, gutter or sidewalks along Carter Drive,
maximum of two garage doors facing the street, preservation of trees, and subject to the
following revisions:
1. Revise the PD Conditions on the Detail Plan to reflect the minimum house
size of 3,200 square feet.
2. Revise the Detail Plan to indicate the location and define maintenance of
retained decorative metal fencing.

Re: Carter Estates, Phase III Planned Development (PD)
Dear Honorable Members of the Coppell City Council:
We are the owners of the seven homes on Rolling Hills Road that border the west side of the
property that is the subject of the PD request by Toll Brothers for Carter Estates, Phase III. Most
of us are long-time residents of Coppell and our families have been active in the city, local
schools, and civic organizations to varying degrees. We are pleased to say that we unanimously
support the PD request before you and ask that the Coppell City Council approve this zoning
change.
When this PD came before the Planning & Zoning Commission (P&Z) in September 2010, some
of us opposed the PD because of the increased density next to our property compared to standard
SF-12 zoning, in addition to other concerns. The developer has reduced the density by one lot
next to our homes and has made other improvements in the PD to address concerns. Of the
requests made of the developer that came out of a joint meeting between Carter Estates
homeowners and some of us from Rolling Hills on January 4th, the developer has incorporated
the large majority of those requests into the revised PD. It is a reflection on the substantial
improvements that have been made to the proposed PD that our neighborhood is now
unanimously in support of this PD, and the P&Z has voted unanimously to recommend its
adoption by the City Council.
There are at least seven compelling reasons why the City Council should vote to approve this PD
instead of leaving it to be developed under the SF-12 zoning:
1. Less Density. The PD has less density. There are only 22 houses in the PD rather than
the 24 houses provided in the SF-12 plan. That is a significant positive difference. By
virtue of having less density, the PD will also have fewer homes looking down into our
yards.
2. No Alleys. The PD will be less of a nuisance to surrounding homeowners by virtue of
having no alleys. The burden of alleys under the SF-12 plan would fall heavily on our
neighborhood on the west side. In addition to the increased noise, there would be
headlights shining into most of our homes as cars drove into and out of the alley.

3. Better Public Safety. The PD offers better public safety in several respects. There are no
legitimate safety issues with the proposed cul-de-sacs according to Coppell public safety
officials. Cul-de-sacs are in wide use throughout our city. Having a cul-de-sac rather
than a through street reduces the “racetrack effect” of people speeding through the
neighborhood as they sometimes do down Rolling Hills Road. Having only 22 houses
versus 24 should result in slightly less traffic from the neighborhood. There is also a
concern that having alleys under SF-12 would potentially contribute to higher crime than
the PD. Driving in an alley can also be hazardous to others unless the alley has good
lighting (which would be a further nuisance to our homes).
4. Support for Home Values. The PD should help ensure that home values on Rolling Hills
Road as well as in Carter Estates remain high. Under the PD, the developer has
committed to a 3,200 square foot minimum building requirement. No such minimum
square footage is required under the SF-12 plan. The developer is also agreeing to a
strong homeowners association agreement to be reviewed by the city. Not having alleys
behind homes is preferable for high-end housing and results in higher home prices
because homeowners at this price point want large backyards and swimming pools.
5. Preservation of Trees. The PD is more consistent with the values of our community than
the SF-12 plan because the PD preserves more trees that would otherwise be cut down.
The SF-12 plan requires an alley, which would require many of the trees next to our
homes as well as many trees that adjoin the flood plain on the south side of the property
to be cut down. Many of these are mature trees that have been there for decades. It
would be a shame to unnecessarily destroy trees that have been in our community for
generations and would continue to add value to our community for many years to come.
6. Better Aesthetics. The PD will be more attractive aesthetically than would be the SF-12
plan. The developer has agreed to position the homes on Carter Drive facing the street
with rear or side entry garages. The developer has also agreed to require iron fencing
throughout the development rather than wood fences. Under the SF-12 plan, homes
could be positioned with the side facing Carter Drive, there would be alleys, and there
would most likely be wood fences behind many of the homes. This would be
considerably less attractive than the clean and inviting appearance of the neighborhood
under the PD.
7. Developer Cooperation. Toll Brothers has addressed the reasonable concerns of the
homeowners surrounding this property. We asked them for certain things and they have
delivered on most of them, particularly the requests that were reasonable. It would be
inappropriate at this point for our city to continue to prevent the development of this
property under a plan that is better than the existing zoning allows.

In conclusion, the PD before you is substantially better than the existing SF-12 plan. Our city
would be making a serious mistake to turn down this superior plan and force the developer’s
hand to develop something that is not desirable for our community. In our opinion, it is not
credible to argue that the SF-12 plan is better than this PD request.
Our neighborhood is weary of the uncertainty and the unnecessary conflict over this property.
We understand there is going to be development behind our homes. This PD request is
acceptable to us and preferable to anything we have seen as a plan for this property to date. We
have gotten the concessions from the developer we feel are appropriate and that were reasonably
requested by our neighborhood as well as by Carter Estates. We respectfully ask the Coppell
City Council to pass this PD. Thank you in advance for your decision to do what is best for our
community.

Dear Clay and Gary,
Homeowners in our Rolling Hills neighborhood and those in the Carter Estates received
the attached letter concerning a request to change the SF-12 zoning (24 lots) on the
Carter/Foss property to a planned development (PD) (23 lots) with the same
specifications as were previously submitted and rejected by the Coppell P&Z. We
understand Coppell staff is to issue its recommendation on January 13 and the matter is
to be considered by the P&Z on January 19.
On behalf of the neighbors that will be affected, I respectfully ask for a one-month
extension and that the staff recommendation and P&Z consideration be postponed until
February.
As I discussed briefly with Clay this morning, our neighborhoods have assumed that the
SF-12 zoning was going to be adhered to. Many neighbors support this even with the
alleys because it results in less density on the west side, creates some buffer between
property lines and the building area of the new homes, and there are aspects of the PD
they don't like. The request by Toll Brothers to now simply approve the original PD
with no changes strikes some as a bait-and-switch. In addition, this request has come
fairly quickly and homeowners have not had time to absorb, sufficiently discuss among
ourselves, and suggest to Coppell staff and the Toll Brothers ways in which the PD
could reasonably be improved and be supported by many if not all homeowners in the
area.
A few homeowners from Rolling Hills met last night with many of the homeowners
from Carter Estates. There are still some differing views as to which plan is preferred
and what might make the PD supportable over the existing zoning. I believe there may
be enough consensus that we could propose modifications to the PD that might be
deemed reasonable by the staff and some of which might be acceptable to the Toll
Brothers. It would be highly preferable, in my opinion, if a win-win-win could be
worked out that the city, Toll Brothers, and the homeowners could live with.
An important reason for the one-month delay is to give our homeowners time to agree
on what are reasonable requests for improvement of the PD. It may be that the Rolling
Hills neighborhood has some different viewpoints than the Carter Estates, but based on
the conversations last night, I think there is a list of items that might get support from
virtually all homeowners, some of which might be acceptable to Toll Brothers and
would improve the PD from our standpoint.
Some of these items that would garner support of the Rolling Hills neighborhood for the
PD include:
1.Reduce the density on the west side by one lot. This would be consistent with the
number of lots on the west side under the SF-12 plan; the PD increases density on the
Rolling Hills side.
2.Require an 8-foot stone or brick wall around most of the property, although not
necessarily homes that back up to the flood plain. This would preserve some measure
of privacy for our neighborhoods and for homeowners in the new subdivision.
Some additional items that our neighborhood supports and are important to the Carter
Estates homeowners include:
1.Have homes that are adjacent to Carter Drive face Carter Drive, require side or rear
entry garages, and specify that board-on-board fences would not be allowed for the
homes adjacent to Carter Drive.
2.Provide two green spaces in the new subdivision, which the SF-12 plan provides,
rather than the one green space in the proposed PD. If positioned near the Carter
Estates homes this would allow existing neighbors as well as future neighbors to enjoy
more green space.
3.Do more to save some trees. Specify that any tree of 20 inches or more in diameter
on the specific acreage outside the flood plain be saved (unless the tree is within
specific road or home building lines).
4.Require a minimum house square footage of 3,200 square feet.
5.Require a strict HOA with the City of Coppell’s review and approval.
Suggested cost-saving ideas for Toll Brothers could include asphalt streets in lieu of
concrete and no sidewalks along Carter Drive to allow continuity with the existing
neighborhood.
We respectfully ask for a one-month extension to allow time for us to discuss these
issues further among our neighbors, with Toll Brothers and with city staff. This is an
extremely important issue that profoundly affects our home values and enjoyment of
our homes. I hope you will agree to give us just a little more time with this. Thank you
for your consideration. –Dean

FROM: Matthew Alexander, P.E.
RE: Carter Addition – Phase III
Coppell, Texas
As requested, Dowdey, Anderson & Associates has relayed the list of requests made by the
Carter Estates/Rolling Hills neighborhoods to Toll Bros. Together we have evaluated the merits
of each request as well as our ability to accommodate each request. Below we have provided a
response and explanation to those requests:
Neighborhood Request:
1. Reduction of 1 lot adjacent to Rolling Hills – Toll Bros. purchased the land with the
anticipation of constructing 24 single-family lots as approved and platted. The proposed
plan only has 23 lots which already results in a 1 lot reduction. Unfortunately the loss of
another lot is no longer practical due to the financial impacts to the development and
thus respectfully Toll Bros. cannot agree to this request.
2. 8-foot Masonry Wall between Rolling Hills and Carter Addition III - This request is a
difficult request on many levels and is not an acceptable request for the following
reasons: 1) this is not consistent with the Coppell Land Development Code or the
existing residents in the area. Furthermore, it is not believed that staff would support this
request. In addition, masonry walls are usually constructed to separate residential and
non-residential uses and thus are not appropriate in our opinion; 2) The perpetual
maintenance of such a wall would truly be challenging. Masonry walls are traditionally
perimeter walls and are owned and maintained by the HOA. In this situation the wall
would be situated across multiple lots and the access to and the perpetual maintenance
of this wall would be difficult over time. Therefore, Toll Bros. does not agree with this
request and thus respectfully we cannot agree to this request.
3. Homes fronting on Carter Drive shall have side or rear entry garages - After receiving this
request, we evaluated it to determine if this request was a consistent characteristic
within the existing additions of Carter Estates. After driving the sub-division again, we
found that this was not a consistent characteristic to all of the homes within the Carter
Addition. To the contrary, we found multiple instances where existing garage doors,
metal and wood, either face the streets or are clearly visible from the street within Carter
Estates. Therefore, for these reasons we believe it is not rational to arbitrarily restrict our
R:\Data\2007\07111\Correspondence\Memo's\07111C-2012-01-11-response memo to neighborhood zoning request.dotx
future residents to a standard not consistently found or enforced within the existing
additions of Carter Estates. Please refer to the pictures attached.
4. No Board-on-Board Fencing on these lots or facing the street - After receiving this request,
we evaluated it to determine if this request was a consistent characteristic within the
existing additions of Carter Estates. After driving the sub-division again we found that this
was not a consistent characteristic to all of the homes within the Carter additions. To the
contrary, we found multiple instances where existing wood fencing (board-on-board or
otherwise) either faces the streets or is clearly visible from the street within Carter
Estates. Therefore, for these reasons we believe it is not rational to arbitrarily restrict our
future residents to a standard not consistently found or enforced within the existing
additions of Carter Estates. Please refer to the pictures attached in Exhibit “A.”
5. Provision for an Additional Open Space Lot along Carter Drive - This plan proposes 3 lots
that face Carter Drive. The approximate lots width at the building line are as follows: Lot
1 - 150’, Lot 22 – 150’, and Lot 23 – 143’. We believe that the additional set-back along
Carter Drive created by the proposed 50-30-foot front yard set-back should be a
dramatic improvement to the 15-foot side yard along Carter Drive currently approved
and platted with the 24-lot plan. In our opinion, the proposed 23-lot plan and the
associated front yard set-backs proposed that would be free of buildings or wood fences
allowed by the current 24-Lot plan will provide the neighborhood with the open space
lot “feel” that they have requested without adding an additional burden to the Phase III
Addition HOA. Therefore, we respectfully decline to agree to this request.
6. Do more to save trees and save all trees greater than 20-inches in caliper that do not fall
within roads or building pads - We have stated all along that we value the trees on this
site and we view them as an asset to this addition. The reason we are bringing this
application back to the City for their consideration is we believe the proposed 23-Lot
plan is a better plan and is the right all-around plan for this site. Thus Toll Bros. is willing
to forfeit development cost they have spent with us and others in an attempt to develop
the right plan, recommended by staff, for this tract. This proposed plan is more
consistent with other single-family development in the area and preserves more trees.
This proposed 23-lot plan preserves approximately 2100 more inches than the approved
24-lot plan because of the elimination of alleys and the creation of an internal open
space lot. That being said, while we cannot agree to save all trees 20-inches or greater
not in the building pads or roadways due to other considerations and restrictions like
utility construction and lot grading we do share a common value the existing residents in
that we are significantly preserving more trees with this proposal.
7. Minimum House Size of 3,200 square feet – Toll Bros. is pleased to be able to honor this
request.
8. Require an HOA – Toll Bros. is pleased to honor this request.
9. Suggesting Asphalt Streets and no Sidewalks along Carter Drive – Toll Bros. has always
been open to these requests, but these requests are not consistent with the
requirements of the Coppell Development Code and thus we believe Staff may not
support or allow them.

Marcie Diamond - Carter Addition Phase III
Ms. Diamond,
Thank you for forwarding the attached response of Dowdy, Anderson & Associates, Inc. on
behalf of Toll Dallas Texas LLC denying all the requested changes proposed by the adjacent
neighbors in Carter Estates and Rolling Hills Road regarding the planned development proposed
for Carter Addition Phase III of 23 residential lots, 1 common area on 20.269 acres.
From the Rolling Hills perspective, I and my neighbors on the south part of Rolling Hills most
affected by the greatest density of the proposed planned development are in agreement. While
the proposed planned development reduces the total number of lots by one, it increases the
density by one lot for the row of houses adjacent to the Rolling Hills Road lots. I do not
understand how the city would support such an inequitable treatment for me and my neighbors.
There is little incentive for us to support the proposed planned development without any
concessions by the developer.
I believe the developer has a lot to gain from the proposed planned development or the developer
would already be building on the proposed 24 residential lot plan that does not require any
variances from the current zoning restrictions. The fact the proposed planned development does
not have alleys may be more valuable to the developer than to the residents on Rolling Hills.
The developer benefits from the proposed planned development by, among other things, the cost
savings of not having to pour a cement alley and the increased value of certain lots not having an
alley cut them off from a bucolic view of the flood zone. I believe the reduction of one of the
smaller lots adjacent to the Rolling Hills lots is a very reasonable request because it returns the
density to us that was in the prior 24 lot proposal.
Since the developer has rejected the reduction in density (and I may add all our other requests),
we will be forced to plead the inequitable treatment to us of the planned development to the
Planning and Zoning Commission and will risk living with the prior 24 lot proposal. I believe the
inequity will resonate with the commission. I need not remind you that the last variance requests
by the developer were denied by the commission even though the city staff supported the
variance requests.
Please put me on the list of persons who would like to speak before the Planning and Zoning
Commission at the hearing next week.
I appreciate your working for the city and believe we have a common goal of doing what is best
for Coppell. I am not against the development, but want more equitable treatment from the
developer who gains financially from the proposed planned development (perhaps even without

one of its proposed smallest lots). Please note that in denying the request for a reduction in the
lots, the developer cited the “financial impacts” and not “reduced profits” or a “financial loss.”

development density as I have requested.

STAFF REP.: Marcie Diamond, Assistant Planning Director
LOCATION: South side of Carter Drive, approximately 925 feet west of Moore Road
SIZE OF AREA: 20.28 acres of property
CURRENT ZONING: SF-12 (Single-Family 12) and A (Agriculture)
REQUEST: A replat to re-subdivide the existing 24 single-family lots and two common area

HISTORY: The Carter Addition, a 30-lot subdivision, was established in 1972 and encircled
an existing 0.5-acre cemetery. Deed restrictions placed on the property expired on
January 1, 2001. In 1990, a replat of Lots 3 and 4 was denied by Council. On
June 17, 2010, the Planning and Zoning Commission denied a requested replat of
Lot 18, to reduce the front building line from 50 to 30 feet, at 509 East Bethel
School Road.
Lot 1 of the original Carter Estates subdivision is within the current request area
and contains 2.95 acres of the 20.3-acre subject property.
The Carter Addition, Phase II, which is a five-lot subdivision has a long replatting
history. The original Final Plat was approved by the Planning Commission on
November 21, 1996. That plat was not filed for record prior to its expiration date,
and therefore was deemed null and void. In 1998, a Final Plat for a reconfigured
ITEM # 6
Page 2 of 3
five-lot layout was approved, but again, never filed for record. In October of 1999,
Council approved a five-lot Final Plat which was filed with Dallas County in
December of that year. On August 8, 2000, City Council approved a replat for Lots
1 and 2 Carter Addition, Phase II, however, it also expired. This replat of Lots 1 and
2 was approved again in November 2001, and was filed within the statutory time
limit. Since that time, all five homes have been constructed in Phase II of this
development.
On September 16, 2010, the Planning and Zoning Commission denied a request for
a preliminary plat, with variances, for 23 residential lots and one area common lot
on this 20.28 acres of property.
November 9, 2010 City Council followed the recommendation of the Planning
and Zoning Commission and approved a preliminary plat with no variances for
twenty-seven (27) single-family residential lots and two (2) common area lots on
this tract of land.
On March 8, 2011 Council approved a Replat/Final Plat with no variances for 24
lots and two common area lots on this 20 acre tract of land. This plat has been
filed with the county, and is essentially ready for development.
TRANSPORTATION: Carter Drive and Christi Lane are two-lane, asphalt streets, built within 50 feet of
right-of-way. These streets do not have curbs or sidewalks.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - Single-family residences; Carter Addition, PD-248-SF-18 (Planned
Development-248-Single Family-18)
South – DART R.O.W. and Belt Line Road; A (Agriculture)
East - Single-family residences; Carter Addition, Phase II, PD-248-SF-18 (Planned
Development-248-Single Family-18)
West - single-family residences; Northlake Woodlands, Lots 5-10 SF-12 (Single
Family-12)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan of March 2011, shows the property as suitable for
Residential Neighborhood, which is defined as areas of low and medium density
single family, typically one to four dwelling units per acre.
DISCUSSION: As stated in the History Section of this report, this property is currently platted as
a 24-lot subdivision in compliance with the regulations of the Zoning and
Subdivision Ordinances. This request is to replat this subdivision into 23 lots,
with one common lot to conform with the PD zoning district which is a
companion to this Replat request. The following variances to the Subdivision
Ordinance are being requested as part of the approval of this revised Replat: cul-
de-sac length exceeding 600 feet, no alleys, mountable curbs (requiring 30 foot
paving width) and no curbs, gutters or sidewalks along Carter Drive.
ITEM # 6

RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of Carter Estates, Phase III Revised Replat, subject to:
1. Revise the notes on the Replat to only reflect those relating to the Subdivision (not
Zoning) Ordinance.
2. Include the floodplain note on the plat that states, "The City of Coppell will have no
responsibility for maintenance of the floodway/floodplain areas as shown hereon;
however, the City does have the authority to regulate activity in the floodway/floodplain
as per the City’s Floodplain Ordinance. The maintenance of these areas shall be the sole
responsibility of the individual lot owner(s), adjacent to said areas. There 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 in the floodplain, along
with any other structures as per the City’s Floodplain Ordinance”.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend approval of the request
2. Recommend disapproval of the request
3. Recommend modification of the request

HISTORY: On May 8, 2007, PD-214R2-SF-9&C (Planned Development-214 Revision-2-
Single-Family-9 & Commercial) was approved allowing for a Concept Site Plan
for the development of 73 single-family homes on approximately 24 acres and
ITEM # 13
Page 2 of 6
commercial uses on approximately five acres of property located south of Sandy
Lake Road; west of Denton Tap Road. Tree mitigation and retribution for the
overall tract was determined at that time. On October 12, 2010, Council approved
a Detail Plan to allow the construction of a 4,639-square-foot medical office
building on the first commercial component of the conceptual planned
development for Arbor Manors. The only access granted was from Bethel School
Road. A dead end fire lane and mutual access drive were extended to the subject
property.
TRANSPORTATION: Denton Tap Road is a P6D, improved, concrete, six-lane divided thoroughfare
contained within a 110-foot right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North – restaurant; C (Commercial)
South – medical office; PD-214R4-C (Planned Development-214 Revision 4-
Commercial)
East – retail uses (Braewood Shopping Center); C, (Commercial)
West – residential uses (Arbor Manors); PD-214R2-SF-12 (Planned
Development-214-Revsion-2-Single Family-12)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Coppell Comprehensive Plan shows the property suitable for mixed use
neighborhood center.
DISCUSSION: This is the second commercial component of the conceptual planned development
for Arbor Manors approved in May 2007. This proposal is for a 10,750 square-
foot retail building on the westside of S. Denton Tap Road, between the newly
constructed Vision Source and Schlotsky’s Deli. Approval of this Planned
Development will also grant the right for two restaurant uses – Einstein Bros.
Bagels with a drive thru and Smashburger. The hours of operation of these two
restaurants are proposed everyday from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. and 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.,
respectively.
Site Plan:
The proposed building is setback approximately 90 feet from S. Denton Tap and
50 feet from all other property lines meeting the setback requirements of the
Commercial District. The parking areas are proposed to be on each side of the
proposed structure with 45% angled parking on the west, off a one-way drive. A
drive-thru is proposed on the southwest portion of the site with the menu board on
the west side with an eight foot wide queuing area. The drive-thru window is on
the south side. A fire lane/mutual access easement with perpendicular parking
extends from the existing shared drive on the north property line to the proposed
shared drive on the south side. To allow the southern shared drive, an off-site fire
lane/mutual access easement will be required to be dedicated on the southern lot
and will be required to be filed by separate instrument.
ITEM # 13
Page 3 of 6
Given its residential adjacency, more detail is needed on the site lighting. The
color renderings depict street lamps in front of the building, but none are shown
on the site plan. A condition of approval is that the lighting be in conformance
with the glare and lighting standards of the Zoning Ordinance.
Parking:
The parking required for a retail use is one parking space per 200 square feet of
building area and for a restaurant use - one parking space per 100 square feet.
The applicant is proposing 5,100 square feet of restaurant (includes a 300 square
foot patio) and 5,950 square feet of retail space, exactly meeting the required
parking by providing 81 parking spaces. The applicant has requested as a PD
Condition on the site plan that “Retail establishments that sell to-go food only and
that do not have dining or sit down facilities, be permitted as a retail use.” Staff
opposes this request as this would be considered a restaurant per the Zoning
Ordinance definition and would need to provide one parking space per 100 square
feet. After further discussions with the applicant, the requested variance was
further defined as a “retail establishment that sells groceries, prepared food and
beverages. Package or prepared foods would be prepared in a commercial kitchen
or commissary, meeting NSF guidelines. The store or establishment will not have
in store dining, a seating area nor a kitchen.” Upon consultation with the City
Attorney, the use would not be considered a restaurant as long as the packaged
and prepared foods are prepared off site; therefore, staff is recommending that the
condition be removed from the site plan.
The irregular parking space configurations are a result of an attempt to provide
enough “green space” to meet the area requirements of the Landscape Section of
the Zoning Ordinance. This is a very innovative design and staff has requested
more detail as to the functionality of the spaces. This is listed as a condition. If
deemed acceptable, staff would recommend granting the landscape area gained
toward the landscape requirements.
Tree Survey/Landscape Plan:
There are approximately 249 caliper-inches of protected trees proposed to be
removed with this request. Of which, there are five significant Post Oaks (21”,
24”, 28”, 28” and 40”). Only 44.5” of trees are proposed to be preserved. The
most significant of these is a 14” Post Oak. No tree retribution is required at this
time, as the Conceptual Planned Development approved in May 2007 included
1.5 (+/-) acres of open space and the preservation of trees within the residential
lots to satisfy the future removal of any existing trees from the overall
development. In addition, the developer paid the City $101,000 to satisfy all tree
mitigation at that time.
The first submittal of the Landscape Plan was approximately 8,000 square feet
deficient in nonvehicular open space, the main category of landscaping.
Subsequently, the plans have been revised several times. The most recent
submittal is only 83 square feet deficient. Staff can support this plan, if two
variances to the ordinance are granted: 1) The landscape strip on the northwest
corner of the site shall contribute toward the nonvehicular area. Staff can support
this request, as the landscaping within this strip would technically be additional
ITEM # 13
Page 4 of 6
perimeter landscaping not benefiting this site. 2) The additional landscaping
gained at the end of the parking spaces is also recommended to contribute toward
the nonvehicular open space if the proposed parking spaces are proved to be
functional.
With the addition of these two areas to the landscape/enhanced sidewalk area in
front of and to the rear of the building, the site is only 83 square feet deficient in
total nonvehicular landscape area. The landscape area in front of the building will
consist of green areas, tree gates and a tan/brown enhanced sidewalk. A detail of
this area has been requested. The other two categories of landscape areas
(perimeter and interior) appear to be compliant if some drafting issues are
resolved. There are a total of 38 overstory and 15 accent trees proposed. The
perimeter area on the west is heavily landscaped and is proposed to provide a
buffer along with the existing masonry wall adjacent to the existing single family
neighborhood. The landscaping in this area consists of three different layers
between the wall and the parking area: a row of 23 Nellie R Stevens shrubs, eight
overstory trees (four Drake Elms & four Live Oaks) and 15 Yaupon Holly Trees.
Elevations/Signage:
The structure is proposed to be 31.5 feet in height (measured to the top of the
parapet). It is proposed to be constructed of a brown field brick with a dark gray
accent brick, a limestone base with a cast stone watertable. EIFS is proposed to
be used on the cornice detailing. Both fabric awnings (“muted-red” and “black”
color) and metal canopies are proposed above the storefronts. The colors,
materials and details of the elevations are impressive and staff can support the
look of the building.
A 40-square-foot monument sign is proposed to be located in the middle of the
site measured 15 feet from Denton Tap. It is proposed to be constructed of the
same brick as the building and shall be externally illuminated, if any lighting is
proposed. The applicant is requesting several variances to the sign requirements
of the Zoning Ordinance. These are listed below with staff’s recommendation in
bold after each one:
1) Each tenant is proposed to have one attached blade sign. The blade may
project 48 inches from the building and is limited to 15 square feet of sign area.
Blade signs may contain a logo at 100% of the sign area.
Staff recommends granting the two restaurants blade signs as
depicted on the 11x17 sheets. Staff is recommending that the other
lease spaces with storefronts also be allowed similar blade signs
perpendicular to the front façade.
2) The effective area of attached signs is proposed to be increased by 10%.
This is not recommended, but the blade signs outlined above are
recommended.
3) Logos are proposed to be up to 40% of the sign area.
Staff cannot support the increase in logo at this percentage and
recommends that the 20% requirement of the Zoning Ordinance be
required.
4) The end caps of the retail center may have attached signage on both facades
with the effective area of theses signs being one square foot allowed per lineal
foot of the façade width.
ITEM # 13
Page 5 of 6
Staff cannot recommend this. What has been done in the past- if a
tenant would like a sign on the end cap but does not have public road
frontage on that side, the tenant can divide up the allowable sign area
between front and side facades (while adhering to the 20% logo
requirement on both sides).
The overall attached signage is depicted on the color rendering of the building.
This proposes that all the channel letters will be a consistent white color. The
second and third color sheets show the exact proposals for the Einstein Bros.
Bagels and Smashburger restaurants. The proposed Einstein Bros. Bagels signage
on the front elevation, not including the blade sign, is 49.1 square feet. A 9.5
square foot logo, a yellow underline (approximately eight square feet) and drive-
thru pan (approximately four square feet) all count as logo area; therefore, the
logo is proposed to be 44% of the sign. Staff recommends granting the blade sign,
but asks the standard attached signage be revised to a maximum total size of
50.66 square feet with a maximum 11.32 square feet logo as required by
ordinance. The applicant is proposing the exact same signage on the side
elevation and staff would recommend against any signage on this elevation, as
long as it was not taken from the allowed sign area from the front.
The proposed Smashburger signage on the front elevation is 54 square feet with a
37% logo, not including the blade sign. Staff would recommend granting the
blade sign and that the signage be revised to a maximum total size of 56.6 sq uare
feet of which a maximum 11.32 square feet can be attributed to logo. The
applicant is proposing a nearly identical sign on the south end cap. Staff would
recommend against any signage on this elevation as long as it was not accounted
for in the allowed sign area of the front façade.
Two menu boards are shown for Einstein Bros. Bagels. Proposed are a bronze
color preview board (20” wide and 74” high) and a bronze color full menu board
with speaker panel (96” wide and 74” high).
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of the Detail Planned Development – 215 Revision 5 – Commercial
(Arbor Manors Retail) only if the following conditions are met.
1. Revise PD conditions notes to indicate:
a. A sit down restaurant with 300 square foot patio area (Smashburger) and a sit down restaurant
with drive thru (Einstein Bros. Bagels) are permitted.
b. 560 square feet of landscaping shown on the northwest corner is being attributed toward
nonvehicular landscape area requirement.
c. The triangular landscape areas at the end of each parking space are being attributed toward the
nonvehicular landscape area requirement.
d. An 83-square-foot exception to the nonvehicular landscape area requirements,
e. A maximum 15-square-foot blade sign shall be allowed for each tenant. This shall be in addition
to the total sign areas allowed (one square foot per lineal foot frontage on a dedicated street).
Remove all other conditions under “Development Standards” within the PD Conditions list
including the condition regarding retail establishments selling “to-go food only” and all other
sign variance requests as these are not supported.
ITEM # 13

2. Submit a detail of the functionality of the parking abutting Denton Tap. Include dimensions of typical
car and truck with curb, overhang, door open, etc…
3. Depict loading area on site plan and note acceptable delivery times.
4. Include parking lot lighting on the site plan. Ensure compliance with the glare and lighting standards of
the Zoning Ordinance.
5. Include the enhanced sidewalk hatching on the site plan and provide a detail of this landscape/sidewalk
area on a separate landscape sheet.
6. Revise monument sign detail to ensure the stone cap extends over the multitenant sign area and note that
the sign shall be externally illuminated.
7. Include an overstory tree at the end of each parking row and account for this being a requirement in the
interior tree calculations.
8. Include trees to be preserved on the Landscape Plan.
9. Correct the discrepancies between the plant list, the landscape plan and the plant legend and ensure only
one symbol is used for each plant type.
10. Remove the “Site Landscaping” section from the landscape calculations as this is stating that only the
nonvehicular area is required. Revise the non-street perimeter required and provided areas.
11. Revise masonry percentage calculations on the Elevation sheets to exclude doors and windows.
12. An eight foot wide stamped concrete band is required at the proposed south mutual drive. Please depict
on the site plan.
13. There will be additional comments during detailed Engineering Plan review.
ALTERNATIVES:

HISTORY: On May 8, 2007, PD-214R2-SF-9&C (Planned Development-214 Revision-2-
Single-Family-9 & Commercial) was approved allowing for a Concept Site Plan
for the development of 73 single-family homes on approximately 24 acres and
commercial uses on approximately five acres of property located south of Sandy

Lake Road; west of Denton Tap Road. Tree mitigation and retribution for the
overall tract was determined at that time. On October 12, 2010, Council approved
a Detail Plan to allow the construction of a 4,639-square-foot medical office
building on the first commercial component of the conceptual planned
development for Arbor Manors. The only access granted was from Bethel School
Road. A dead end fire lane and mutual access drive were extended to the subject
property.
TRANSPORTATION: Denton Tap Road is a P6D, improved, concrete, six -lane divided thoroughfare
contained within a 110-foot right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North – restaurant; C (Commercial)
South – medical office; PD-214R4-C (Planned Development-214 Revision 4-
Commercial)
East – retail uses (Braewood Shopping Center); C, (Commercial)
West – residential uses (Arbor Manors); PD-214R2-SF-12 (Planned
Development-214-Revsion-2-Single Family-12)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Coppell Comprehensive Plan shows the property suitable for mixed use
neighborhood center.
DISCUSSION: The purpose of this plat is to dedicate necessary easements for the development of
Lot 4R2R, which is the subject property of the previous Detail Planned
Development item (PD-214R5-C). The previously dedicated fire lane and mutual
access drive is proposed to be abandoned with this plat. The new fire lane and
mutual access easement is proposed to be shifted to the west in order to provide
enough room for perpendicular parking along both sides of the drive. An access
drive is proposed on the southern property line providing shared access for Lot
4R1 and 4R2. This is proposed to be dedicated as a fire lane and mutual access
easement (12 foot wide on each property). The adjacent property owner has given
permission for this mutual access in the form of a letter. The offsite easement will
need to be dedicated by separate instrument and the recording information
provided on this plat prior to recordation. This is listed as a condition of
approval. Two waterline easements are proposed extending west from Denton
Tap, one is 20 feet wide and the other is 15 feet. There is an existing 20-foot
drainage easement and a 20-foot sanitary sewer easement on the west property
line running north and south. The plat meets all technical requirements of the
Subdivision Ordinance, and therefore warrants approval.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of Lot 4R2R, Block A, Arbor Manors Replat subject to the following
condition being met:
1. Show the offsite mutual access and fire lane easements and provide r ecording information on this plat
prior to recordation.

STAFF REP.: Marcie Diamond, Assistant Planning Director
LOCATION: South of East Sandy Lake Road between Dobecka Drive and Castlebury Court
SIZE OF AREA: 2.8 acres of property
CURRENT ZONING: SF-12 (Single Family-12)
REQUEST: A zoning change to PD-251R-SF-12 (Planned Development-251 Revised-Single
Family-12), to allow the development of six (6) single-family lots, with a
minimum lot size of 12,000 square feet and three (3) common area lots.

Contrast Development, LLC
300 E. John Carpenter Freeway, Suite 940
Irving, Texas 75062

E-mail: Brad.meyer@contrastdevelopment.com
HISTORY: This property has been owned by TU Electric for over 25 years. An electrical
substation was envisioned for this site. It was eventually determined to be excess
property for TU, which lead to its potential sale. An application for residential use
was subsequently submitted.
On August 9, 2011 Council overruled the recommendations of the Planning Staff
and Planning and Zoning Commission and denied a request for a Planned
Development for six single family, SF-12 lots and three common area lots on this
property. That proposal included the street aligning with Trailwood Lane on the
north side of Sandy Lake and the preservation of all the trees on the site. The
request, as revised for Council, included restrictions on transparency of west-
facing second story windows and additional landscaping along the west property
line. Due to opposition from the homeowners west of this property, at the August
9th public hearing, Council denied this application and requested that the applicant
ITEM # 7
Page 2 of 4
bring back a revised plan, with the street relocated to the west side of the
property, and instructed staff to waive all filing fees for the re-submittal.
TRANSPORTATION: Sandy Lake Road is designated as a four-lane divided thoroughfare and is built to
standard within a 110-foot right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North: Pecan Ridge Estates; PD-113-SF-9
South: Willowood No. 2; SF-7
East: Castlebury Court; PD-170-SF-7
West: Dobecka Addition; SF-12
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of March 2011, shows the property as suitable
for Residential Neighborhood, which is defined as areas of low and
medium density single family, typically one to four dwelling units per
acre.
DISCUSSION: This property is currently zoned SF-12, which permits single family homes with a
minimum lot size of 12,000 square feet. The six-lot subdivision planned for this
property exceeds the minimum lot size requirement, with an average lot size of
approximately 13,500 square feet; however, a Planned Development district
zoning is being requested to allow for several variances to the Zoning and
Subdivision Ordinances. This PD also includes three landscaped, common area
lots, eight-foot tall cedar fencing along the property lines adjacent to the common
areas and a seven-foot tall brick wall along Sandy Lake Road. All common areas
will be maintained by a Homeowners Association.
The first variance requested is to a development regulation in the Zoning
Ordinance. Single Family-12 District regulations require a minimum front yard
setback of 30 feet. This request is to reduce this to a minimum of 25 feet for all
six lots. Given that this is a single-loaded street, and the lots will front on a
landscaped buffer strip, this variance can be supported.
The second variance being requested is to the Subdivision Ordinance, which is to
provide relief to the sidewalk requirement along the west side of the street. This
variance is appropriate as no lots will be abutting the west side of the street. An
11-foot wide landscape strip (common area and R.O.W.) and an eight-foot cedar
fence are also proposed along this west side of the street. This buffer strip will be
landscaped with ten Live Oak trees and the five existing trees (Pines, Cedars and
one Hackberry) are to be preserved. The installation of a sidewalk could
potentially impact the tree preservation efforts along this property line. However,
in the event that these trees do not survive the construction activities, then
additional mitigation may be required.
The third variance relates to the access to alleys. Lots 1 through 4 will abut the
existing alley serving the homes along Castlebury Court. The southern two lots
(Lots 5 and 6) will back to the existing alley serving the Willowood No. 2
ITEM # 7
Page 3 of 4
Addition. The Subdivision Ordinance requires the construction of alleys, and the
Zoning Ordinance requires that access be from the alley. The applicant is
requesting an option to build homes with either front facing garages or rear access
homes. Therefore, included in this PD is a condition that alley access be at the
builder’s option.
The final variance relates to the provision of overstory trees within the common
area (Lot 1X) along Sandy Lake Road. The Landscape and the Streetscape
Ordinances require overstory trees along this Primary Image Zone. This property
is currently owned by Oncor Electric Delivery Company who has a blanket
easement over the entire property. Included on the Preliminary Plat for this
property is the establishment of a 25-foot wide Oncor Electric easement abutting
Sandy Lake Road which is common area Lot 1X of this PD. The easement
agreement includes the prohibition of overstory trees within this 25-foot wide
area. In lieu of the three overstory trees, the applicant is proposing six ornamental
trees, as well as seasonal color at the intersection. However, staff is
recommending that the number of ornamental trees be increased to a total of nine
trees to provide for the ratio of three ornamental trees to fulfill the requirement of
one overstory tree.
As discussed above, there will be lots on only one side of the street. The Fire
Marshal has requested that no parking be allowed on the common area lot side
(west) of the street, to provide for adequate access for emergency vehicles. In lieu
of this parking prohibition, the applicant has offered a condition that there will be
no parking adjacent to Lot 1, which is the closest to Sandy Lake Road. However,
this does not provide the maneuverability needed, and therefore staff is
recommending that parking only be permitted on the portions of the street with
homes fronting.
The final issue is street alignment. As detailed in the History Section of this
report, in the previous PD request, the proposal was to align the street with
Trailwood Drive, and a left turn storage lane was to be provided in the existing
median in Sandy Lake Road to promote safe left turn movements into this
subdivision and safer U-turn movements for homes along Castlebury Court.
While preferable from a vehicular safety perspective, the homeowners along
Dobecka Drive and Council determined that a misalignment in the streets was
more desirable for neighborhood compatibility reasons.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of PD-251R-SF-12, Rosebriar Estates subject
to:
1. Revise the note on the plat prohibiting parking adjacent to Lot 1 to “No
Parking shall be permitted along the west side of the street, adjacent to
Common Area Lot 3X”.
2. Revision of the Landscape Plan to add three ornamental trees within the
common area Lot 1X.

Rosebriar Estates, Preliminary Plat
P&Z HEARING DATE: January 19, 2012
C.C. HEARING DATE: February 14, 2012
STAFF REP.: Marcie Diamond, Assistant Planning Director
LOCATION: South of East Sandy Lake Road between Dobecka Drive and Castlebury Court
SIZE OF AREA: 2.8 acres of property
CURRENT ZONING: SF-12 (Single-Family 12)
REQUEST: A preliminary plat to allow the subdivision of 2.8 acres of property into six (6)
single-family lots and three (3) common area lots.
APPLICANT: Brad Meyer, Principal
Contrast Development, LLC
300 E. John Carpenter Freeway, Suite 940
Irving, Texas 75062
972-793-7685
E-mail: Brad.meyer@contrastdevelopment.com
HISTORY: This property has been owned by TU Electric for over 25 years. An electrical
substation was envisioned for this site. It was eventually determined to be excess
property for TU development which lead to its potential sale. An application for
residential use was subsequently submitted.
On August 9, 2011, Council overruled the recommendations of the Planning Staff
and Planning and Zoning Commission and denied a request for a Planned
Development for six single family, SF-12 lots and three common area lots on this
property. That proposal included the street aligning with Trailwood Lane on the
north side of Sandy Lake and the preservation of all the trees on the site. The
request, as revised for Council, included restrictions on transparency of west
facing second story windows and additional landscaping along the west property
line. Due to opposition from the homeowners west of this property, at the August
9th public hearing, Council denied this application and requested that the applicant
bring back a revised plan, with the street relocated to the west side of the
property, and instructed staff to waive all filing fees for the re-submittal.
ITEM # 8
Page 2 of 2
TRANSPORTATION: Sandy Lake Road is designated as a 4-lane divided thoroughfare and is built to
standard within a 110-foot right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North: Pecan Ridge Estates; PD-113-SF-9
South: Willowood No. 2; SF-7
East: Castlebury Court; PD-170-SF-7
West: Dobecka Addition; SF-12
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of March 2011, shows the property as suitable
for Residential Neighborhood, which is defined as areas of low and
medium density single family, typically one to four dwelling units per
acre.
DISCUSSION: This is a companion request to PD-251R-SF-12, which establishes the
development regulations and incorporates several variances to the
Subdivision Ordinance to allow the development of six single family lots
and three common area lots on this 2.8 acre tract of land.
As discussed in the review of the zoning request, this property is currently
owned by Oncor Electric Delivery Company who has a blanket easement
over the entire property. As part of the sale of this property for private
development, Oncor is requiring a 25’ wide easement abutting Sandy Lake
Road. This easement is indicated on the Preliminary Plat and is
designated as a common area lot in the PD.
As detailed in the PD request, the applicant is requesting a relief from the
sidewalk requirement on the west side of the street, which is being
supported by staff. The only outstanding issue is the prohibition of
parking on the west side of the street, adjacent to Common Area Lot 3X.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of Rosebriar Estates, Preliminary Plat, subject to:
1. Revise the note on the plat prohibiting parking adjacent to Lot 1 to “No
Parking shall be permitted along the west side of the street, adjacent to
Common Area Lot 3X”.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend approval of the request
2. Recommend disapproval of the request
3. Recommend modification of the request
4. Take under advisement for reconsideration at a later date

LOCATION: North side of East Sandy Lake Road, east of Riverview Drive
SIZE OF AREA: 5.3 acres of property
CURRENT ZONING: R (Retail) & O (Office)
REQUEST: A zoning change to S-1256-R/O (Special Use Permit-Retail/Office), to allow a
57,708-square-foot (74 unit, 79 bed) assisted living and memory care facility.

FAX: N/A FAX: 972-906-9987
HISTORY: This is a vacant piece of property that has been filled over the last several years.
In March of 2007, the Planning Commission denied a request for a 95-lot
subdivision on 18.86 acres of property, a portion of which included the subject
property (5.3 acres), the vacant tract to the east (6.1 acres) and what is now the
nursing home facility on the 6.5 acres to the west. The applicant did not appeal
that recommendation to Council and reapplied for a 78-lot subdivision. This
second request was recommended for approval by the Planning and Zoning
Commission subject to 22 conditions. Prior to Council consideration, the
applicant withdrew the request. A Planned Development was later approved in
March 2009 for a 52,317-square-foot (123 bed) Nursing and Rehabilitation
Facility on a 6.4-acre lot to the west.
TRANSPORTATION: East Sandy Lake Road is a C4D, collector, four-lane divided concrete roadway
contained within a 110-foot right-of-way.
ITEM # 11

SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North – vacant, flood land; City of Carrollton
South – retail and vacant; PD-245-R (Planned Development-245-Retail) and PD-243-R
Planned Development-243-Retail)
East – vacant; O (Office)
West –Assisted Living Facility; PD-239-R (Planned Development-239-Retail)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Coppell Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for urban
residential neighborhood.
DISCUSSION: This request is to allow an assisted living and memory care facility. The land use
is compatible with the assisted living use approved in 2009 on the property to the
west and fulfills the goal of supporting “housing for all stages of life” outlined in
the Coppell 2030 Master Plan; therefore staff is in support of the land use.
Site Plan:
Specially, this proposal is for a one-story 57,708-square-foot building with two
well-landscaped courtyards which are only accessible from the interior of the
building. This will be a 74 unit, 79 bed facility with dining facilities, a game
room, a salon, an ice cream parlor and various other common areas and amenities.
Parking is required at a ratio of one space per five beds plus one per day staff, for
a total of 28 spaces. The applicant is proposing 63 parking spaces which will be
located on the west and east sides of the building. Two access points are provided
to Sandy Lake Road with full median access for the western most driveway at
Riverview Drive. A 20 to 24-foot fire lane encircles the building.
Landscaping:
The Landscape Plan exceeds the minimum requirements of the Zoning Ordinance
where 49% of the property is devoted to landscaping and open areas. There is a
47-foot wide landscaped buffer along Sandy Lake Road, a 70 to 100-foot wide
heavily wooded flood plain area to the north where all existing trees are to be
preserved. On the west perimeter, the minimum ten foot buffer is provided. On
the east, a shared drive is proposed, shifting the required ten foot buffer between
the sidewalk and the building. The Landscape Plan includes 67 overstory trees, 17
accent trees, evergreen hedge rows screening the parking along Sandy Lake and
various ornamental grasses, ground covers and perennials. The two court yards,
internal to the building, add 8,900(+/-) square feet of landscaped area for the use
and enjoyment of its residents.
Elevations:
The elevations of the building indicate close to 100% masonry exterior, utilizing a
combination of brick and stone. A small amount of grey hardisiding is proposed
on the northern tower. Staff recommends using the same stone on this tower as is
used on the chimneys and on the main tower. This is listed as a condition of
approval.
ITEM # 11
Page 3 of 4
With the first submittal, the color elevations appeared to have a dark grayish
brown brick with a grey complimentary stone color. At the development review
committee meeting a color board and a photograph of a façade using the actual
cultured stone and brick were presented. These were not well received. The
cultured stone had too many color variations and did not match the brick color.
After a brief discussion with staff, the Architect offered to change the colors to a
darker tone as initially indicated on the color elevations. Subsequently, the color
elevations were resubmitted. The brick appears redder and the stone has fewer
variations in colors and is of a brown/tan tone. Staff has yet to receive the color
board showing the actual colors and materials to date; therefore, the stone/brick
color will need to be finalized at the Planning Commission Meeting.
The only remaining architectural concern is the metal awnings. This proposal
includes red standing seam metal awnings on three facades. Metal awnings are
specifically prohibited by the Zoning Ordinance:
“Sec. 12-20-5. Type of exterior construction. Awnings are limited to
canvas, or a lusterless, non-metal material that closely resembles canvas,
at least 98 percent of which is a single deep or neutral solid color. The
remaining up to 2 percent, if different, shall be contrasting. Awnings shall
not be backlit.”
The prohibition of metal awnings was part of the 1997 CIVIC Report which
guided the new development in Coppell, and was codified as part of the Zoning
Ordinance in 2002. Fabric awnings were specifically required to soften the
appearance of the facades of the buildings due to the heavy masonry requirement.
As with the other metal awning requests, staff does not see a justification for their
inclusion here and is recommending that they be of a sunbrella material that does
not wear or fade as quickly as the canvas.
No attached signage is proposed with this development. However, a 60-square
foot monument sign conforming to the Zoning Ordinance is proposed in front of
the building. The detail is included within the attached.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of S-1256-R/O, Signature Living at Denton Creek subject to the
following conditions:
1. The materials and colors shall be representative of the initial color rendering submittal. All
plans and the color board should be revised accordingly.
2. The awnings shall be constructed of a sunbrella fabric, not metal.
3. The smaller hardisiding tower shall be constructed of the same stone as the other towers and
chimneys.
4. The dumpster enclosure, monument sign and decorative fence details shall be included on the
2nd sheet of the elevations.
5. Revise the Landscape Plan to include Cedar Elms as the dominant street tree along E Sandy
Lake.
6. Consider using a different species of overstory tree in place of the 13 Red Maples proposed.
7. There will be additional comments during detailed Engineering Plan review.

HISTORY: This is a vacant piece of property that has been filled over the last several years.
In March of 2007, the Planning Commission denied a request for a 95-lot
subdivision on 18.86 acres of property, a portion of which included the subject
property (5.3 acres), the vacant tract to the east (6.1 acres) and what is now the
nursing home facility on the 6.5 acres to the west. The applicant did not appeal
that recommendation to Council and reapplied for a 78-lot subdivision. This
second request was recommended for approval by the Planning and Zoning
Commission subject to 22 conditions. Prior to Council consideration, the
applicant withdrew the request. A Planned Development was later approved in
March 2009 for a 52,317-square-foot (123 bed) Nursing and Rehabilitation
Facility on a 6.4-acre lot to the west.
ITEM # 12

Planned Development-243-Retail)
East – vacant; O (Office)
West –Assisted Living Facility; PD-239-R (Planned Development-239-Retail)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Coppell Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for urban
residential neighborhood.
DISCUSSION: This is a companion request to the establishment of the Special Use Permit to
allow the development of a 74-unit, 79-bed assisted living and memory care
facility on 5.3 acres (proposed Lot 1, Block A). Lot 2, containing 6.1 acres, is
included in this plat but no development is proposed at this time. The property is
impacted by several existing easements, including: water, utility and drainage
easements running parallel to Sandy Lake Road. A 20-foot drainage easement is
proposed to be dedicated parallel to the western property line of Lot 1. Encircling
the proposed building on Lot 1 is a mutual access and fire lane easement, ranging
in width from 20 to 24 feet. This easement shares the common lot line between
Lots 1 and 2 providing mutual access from Sandy Lake. Various flood plain
boundaries are also being depicted. The first is the existing 100-year floodplain
per FEMA on August 23, 2001. The second is a preliminary 100-year floodplain
boundary dated June 22, 2007 and the third is a proposed 100-year floodplain
pending a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR).
