RE: ZC-522 - Country Estates
LOCATION: Southeast corner of Bethel School Road and Harris Street,
and north and adjacent to Grapevine Creek, on a total of
13.95 acres.
APPLICANT: Mr. Bill Thompson
Represented by: Nathan Maier Engineers
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - (SF-9) Single Family-9
East - Vacant; Commercial
South - Vacant; Commercial
West - (SF-9 PD) Single Family-9 Planned Development
and (C) Commercial
TRANSPORTATION:
Bethel School Road is the primary access for this site.
The roadway issue will be dealt with during the discussion
of the preliminary plat for Country Estates.
REQUEST: Applicant request approval of a zoning change from (C)
~" Commercial to (SF-12) Single Family-12, to allow for the
~ ~ construction of single family structures.
SUMMARY: Staff has no objections to this zoning change request.
The Comprehensive Master Plan suggests this area should be
developed as single family development, parks and open
space. Large parcels of commercial zoning, combined with
existing and proposed uses of single family, tend to
restrict the subject property from being developed as
commercial.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the zoning change request.
2) Deny the zoning change request.

RE: Country Estates - Preliminary Plat
LOCATION: Southeast corner of Bethel School Road and Harris Street,
and located north and adjacent to Grapevine Creek on a
total of 13.95 acres.
APPLICANT: Mr. Bill Thompson; represented by Nathan Maier Engineers
TRANSPORTATION: ! ~,f ~C%
The Coppell ThoroUghfare Plan designatesBethel School Road
to be designed ~s a (concrete) collector, two lane
undivided thoroughfare (C2U). Bethel School is presently a
2-lane undivided~street; however, this roadway is
considered substandard due to:
1) the road being composed of ash~
2) the absence of curb, gutte~and drainage improvements
Because of the volume and location of through traffic
movement, and the access needs of the adjacent and
surrounding properties, it is staff's opinion that Bethel
School Road should be improved at time of any future
development along this roadway. A potential for 256
dwelling units could impact this section of Bethel School
Road, by routing traffic south to Bethel Road, and north to
Denton Tap Road. Staff has given consideration to present
and future traffic requirement and also land use plans for
the surrounding area, and we base our recommendation on
these factors. The applicant has dedicated an additional
12.5 feet R.O.W., as required, for the portion along Bethel
School Road, which serves this property. An additional
12.5 linear feet will be required by property owners
adjacent to Bethel School Road in order tO provide for a 60
foot R.O.W.
REQUEST: Applicant is requesting approval of a preliminary plat,
along with a variance to allow a waiver of the alley
requirement along the creekside lots.
SUMMARY: Staff has no objections to the preliminary plat for
Country Estates as submitted; however, we recommend that
careful consideration be given to the present and future
traffic trip generations along the subject roadway, will
Bethel School Road, ultimately, cars will be parked along
the front of these eight homes, by either visitors or the
homeowners themselves.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the preliminary plat
2) Deny the preliminary plat
