West - Vacant; SF-7
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan, which is currently undergoing revision, shows
medium to high density residential.
ANALYSIS: 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 responsibility will be
handled by the homeowners association and it allows the engineer to make
a few minor adjustments to the plat, which do not conflict with the
approved site plan.
Staff has been told by the applicant's engineer that the 35' drainage area
will be maintained by the Lakes of Coppell Homeowners' Association.
We are concerned that we have not seen any written documentation
reflecting this concern, and so as not to deter the replat from moving
forward, we expect to receive the proof, prior to the City Council
hearing.
Staff does not object to the approval of the replat, however, we
recommend that the replat not be approved by City Council until staff is
certain that the Lakes of Coppell Association will handle the maintainance
responsibility of lot 1.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the replat.
2) Deny the replat.
3) Modify the replat.
ATTACHMENTS: 1) Replat
