Presentation: Assistant Planning Director Marcie Diamond introduced the item to the Commission, showing exhibits of the proposal, describing three screening options; those proposed by staff (decorative metal fence with landscaping on both sides), the applicant (chain-link fence with woven slats with hedge landscaping on both sides), and the adjacent homeowners (solid brick fence along the property line). Robert Howman, Glenn Engineering, 100 Decker Court, Suite 250, Irving, TX, was present to represent this item before the Commission and answer any questions, stating that the School District met with the homeowners to discuss options regarding the fence issue. They and the homeowners feel that a decorative metal fence would not provide proper protection from headlights, nor would it provide a sense of security. He stated that the school administration would like to provide a 6' chain-link fence with slats interwoven until such a time that the plant life has an opportunity to grow sufficiently to provide proper cover, ultimately obtaining a height much greater than 6'. Public Hearimp: Vice Chairman Stewart opened the Public Hearing. Those speaking in favor: There were none. Those speaking in opposition: Arlin Gaffner, 303 Martel Lane, Coppell, TX, spoke on behalf of 25+ homeowners who stood behind him. He stated the reasons the HOA desires the 6' brick wall, which include aesthetics, safety, lighting, noise, etc. Don Carter, President of the Copperstone HOA, 428 Avalon Lane, Coppell, TX. Has a petition signed by over 80% of the community supporting the brick wall. Richard Machos, 435 Graham Drive, Coppell, TX. Stated that he was not notified of this Public Hearing, claiming that his property is within 200' of the high school property. City Attorney Hager stated that a common area of Village at Cottonwood Creek IV subdivision along Graham Drive lies within the 200' notification area, adding the HOA was properly notified of the Public Hearing. Vice Chairman Stewart closed the Public Hearing. 2 Discussion: Discussion followed regarding the tree issue, decorative metal fence vs. a brick wall, massive size of the high school property and their rights, the fact that a living screen will grow to a height taller than 6', the fact that the Ordinance calls for a 6' masonry wall, irrigation of the landscaping, the minimal cost of $165,000 for a brick wall relative to a $32 million project, etc. Buddy Echols, Superintendent of the Coppell I.S.D. addressed the cost issue of the wall. He stated that the school district never said to the homeowners, "Take our option or you'll get nothing." He stated that if anyone has gotten this impression, he or she is terribly mistaken, adding that discussions were held in good faith and options were offered to the homeowners for consideration. He then offered reasons for not wanting to build a brick wall. Mr. Echols committed to an irrigation system on the noah side of the parking lot to keep all vegetation in a healthy and growing condition. Arlin Gaffner was asked to come forward, again, to address the decorative metal vs. chain-link fencing issue. He stated that had the homeowners known the rules and been advised that the school system can do anything they want with their property, perhaps they may have negotiated differently. Mr. Gaffner stated that metal slats will not keep out headlights and newly planted landscaping will not shield homeowners from headlights. Commissioner McGahey stated that until this evening, the Commission did not know the rules, either, reiterating that the Commission asked the homeowners and the school system to meet and come up with a solution to this issue, although it seems that we are no further along than we were three months ago. City Attorney Hager reviewed a recent Case Study involving the City of Addison vs. the Dallas I.S.D. (see Exhibit A) and stated that the school district could choose not to comply with City regulations, although the Superintendent just stated that he would not do that. Discussion followed.
