RE:
OAK BEND ADDITION - PRELIMINARY PLAT
LOCATION:
Near the southeast corner of Thweatt Road and State Road.
REQUEST:
Consideration of a preliminary plat.
APPLICANT:
Mr. Jerry Lacy, Trustee
Represented by Nathan Maier Engineers
Case #ZC-523 and the preliminary plat for Oak Bend
Addition was submitted to the Planning and Zoning
Commission on September 21, 1989. After much discussion
related to: a) airport noise; b) inadequate buffering;
c) substandard roadway issues, the Planning and Zoning
Commission recommended denial of the zoning change and
preliminary plat.
As required by the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, the
applicant submitted an appeal to the City Manager to
request consideration of the zoning change by the City
Council. The plat; however, did not proceed forward to the
City Council because a plat cannot move forward unless the
Planning and Zoning commission recommends approval. The
City Council considered the zoning change request for Oak
Bend on October 10, 1989, and approved it (6-1). (Please
see attached minutes of October 10, 1989, City Council
meeting), along with a request to re-align Freeport Parkway.
Oak Bend preliminary plat must now be reconsidered by the
Planning and Zoning Commission before it goes forward to
City Council. Staff suggests that the developer be
required to place the stipulations for Case #ZC-523, made
by City Council, on the final plat.
ALTERNATIVES: 1)
Approve the preliminary plat with stipulations
Deny the preliminary plat

Dallas, Texas 75354-1297
TRANSPORTATION:
The re-alignment of Freeport Parkway was approved by the
City Council on October 10, 1989, at the request of the
applicant. Re-alignment of Freeport Parkway will allow
Freeport Parkway to travel in a reverse curve alignment to
State Road, then follow State Road to Sandy Lake Road, and
the curve northwest to the existing planned interchange
with S.H. 121 Freeway.
In its present condition, State Road is a substandard two
(2) lane asphalt road, with numerous potholes and no curb
and gutters. If a final plat is approved for the
subdivision, the applicant will be required to construct
three (3) lanes of State Road in its entirety and also pay
their pro-rata portion for one-half of the paving and
drainage improvements along their property on Thweatt
Road.
HISTORY: Originally, the zoning change request for Oakbend Addition
was scheduled for the July Planning and Zoning Com~ission
meeting, but as a result of the realignment issue of
Freeport Parkway, the applicant requested to postpone the
zoning change hearing date until the City Council could
make a decision regarding the location of future Freeport
Parkway. The applicant requested approval of the Freeport
Parkway re-alignment, along with the zoning change request,
and was recommended for denial by the Planning and Zoning
Commission on September 21, 1989, however, City Council
approved the zoning change and Freeport Parkway
re-alignment issue on October 10, 1989. The conditions for
approval are:
1) That the minimum home size would be 1,600 square feet.
2) That any buildings constructed in the (hi) Light
Industrial area located at the northwest corner of
this property would he restricted to 35 feet in height.
ITEM 8
ALTERNATIVES:
3) That three (3) lanes of State Road be constructed in
its entirety.
4) That along State Road a masonry fence be constructed
to be used as a buffer between this property and the
property to the west of it.
5) That notices of noise potential (from airport over
flights) be issued to all purchasers of lots within
this development.
6) That the developer pay their pro-rata share for
improvements to Thweatt Road.
At the November 16th Planning and Zoning meeting the
Commission denied the preliminary plat because the
developer had not complied with all conditions of
approval. In addition, the Commission authorized the
calling of a public hearing to determine proper zoning on
the subject tract, as explained in item #7, above.
1) If Planning Commission recommends to leave
(PD-SF-9) zoning in place, approval of the preliminary
plat.
2) If Commission elects to recommend a zoning
classification with which this plat is incompatible,
denial of the preliminary plat.

Dear Taryon:
On behalf of our client, we would like to request the following variances from the Coppell Subdivision
Ordinance, as part of the consideration of the preliminary plat for the above referenced subdivision.
1. That alleys not be required for those lots that abut Cottonwood Branch.
2. That open ditches be allowed to remain along Thweat Road until the road is perma-
nently improved.
3. That no owners association be required.
Except for the variances requested herein, it is our belief that this plat conforms to all of the City of Cop-
pell rules and regulations regarding platting. If we are in any way not in compliance with any of these
rules and regulations, please notify me of any such non-compliance during the Development Review
Committee process so that any omissions can be rectified prior to the Planning and Zoning hearing on
January 18, 1990.
Thank you for your assistance.
