responsibilities of Lot 1.

Boulevard, a divided, major thoroughfare contained within a 100

SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - Residential; PD-SF-7
South - Elementary school site; water storage facility; MF-2
East - Vacant, floodplain; SF-7 & SF-12
West - Vacant; SF-7
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan, which is currently undergoing revision, shows
medium to high density residential.
ANALYSIS: Lakewood Estates was reviewed by the Planning Commission at the
January Planning & Zoning Commission meeting. One of the reasons for
denial of the replat was due to the fat that the issue of maintenance
responsibility was unresolved. The applicant has since worked out the
concerns raised by the Commission and by staff.
The purpose of the replat is to create a common area, Lot 1, Block H.
The previously filed plat shows lot 1, as a drainage easement, but this
portion of the area was also included in the rear lot dimensions. This
replat serves two purposes: The maintenance of Lot 1 will become the
responsibility of the I_akes of Coppell Owner's association and; it allows
the engineer to make a few minor adjustments to the plat, such as
redimentioning some of the lot lines, which do not conflict with the
approved site plan. Additionally, the Lakes of Coppell Owner's
association is concerned that the homeowner of lot 14 could potentially
plant landscaping along the rear of the lot. The Association has decided
not to accept landscaping responsibility of this lot, however, it will
provide erosion repair for the portion of Lot 14R of Block D that is now
designated as Lot 1, Block H.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the replat.
2) Deny the replat.
3) Modify the replat.
