REVIE~ BY: REVIL~/~D BY CH: CITY OF COPPELL PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT HEARING DATE: February 15, 1990 RE: PECAN HOLLOW ADDITION, PRELIMINARY PLAT LOCATION: Approximately 550 feet south of the intersection of Parkway Boulevard and Lodge Road, along the west side of Lodge Road. SIZE OF AREA: 59.4 acres REQUEST: Approval of a preliminary plat APPLICANT: Gateway U.S.A. Mr. Ron Fraze 10751Mapleridge Drive Dallas, Texas HISTORY: A planned development, Case #PD-110, was approved for subject tract on January 9, 1990. TRANSPORTATION: Lodge Road is presently a two-lane substandard roadway, which is in need of improvement. Construction of Lodge Road along the frontage of this property will be the responsibility of the developer, and will be required prior to the development of any structure. ANALYSIS: This developer has been working very closely with staff in preparing the plat, insuring that all drainage concerns are met, addressing the improvements to Lodge Road, developing his homeowners association, and providing us with the tree survey showing where all 14 inch caliper and larger trees are located on the parcel. The developer's objective is to preserve as many specimen trees - he's surveyed over 270 - as possible as construction commences on the land. Based on the willingness of this applicant to meet all the obligations imposed by Commission and Co%mcil, this request warrants approval provided that a homeowners association is established to maintain common areas, a letter of permission to drain across adjacent properties is procurred, and a note is placed on the plat that front entry houses will be built on the properties where no alleys are provided. ITEM 9 ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the preliminary plat with stipulations 2) Deny the preliminary plat ATTACHMENTS: 1) Preliminary Plat PHLLWSTF Minutes of February 15, 1990 Planning& Zoning Commission DRAFT Page 5 Commissioner Weaver moved to deny the final plat for Park West Commerce Center.

Item 9: Consider approval of a preliminary plat for Pecan Hollow Addition, located 550 feet south of the southwest corner of Lodge Road and Parkway Boulevard, at the request of Gateway, U.S.A. Director of Planning Gary L Sieb introduced the item to the Commission. Mr Sieb stated that this request is on a 59.4 acre tract of land, with 204 lots. Mr. Sieb stated that the developer has done a tree survey of trees 6 inches and larger. They have spotted at least 270 trees on the property. Mr. Ron Fraze and Mr. Bill Anderson were present to represent this item before the Commission. Following discussion Commissioner Gross moved to approve the preliminary plat for Pecan Hollow Addition with the recommendation that they try to change the alley on Block G if it is feasible with the builders. Commissioner Weaver seconded the motion; motion carried (5-0) with Chairman Mtulsch and Commissioners Gross, Redford, Scott and Weaver voting in favor of the motion. Item 10: Consider approval of a preliminary plat for Oakbend Addition, located near the southeast corner of Thweatt Road and State Road, at the request of Mr. Jerry Lacy. Planning Director Gary L. Sieb introduced the item to the Commission. Mr. Sieb stated that this item has had a great deal of discussion, and back on January 25, 1990, the Commission denied the plat and recommended that staff expedite the review of a revised plat, which was introduced at the Commissions' January hearing. Staff has obliged, and the revised plat includes an almost three acre park, the elimination of eight lots, and the density has fallen from 148 to 140 units. Mr. Sieb stated that staff is concerned with the size of the park, the landscaping and the screening wall did not have the homeowners association attached to it, and also the fact that there is a suggestion that two pedestrian foot bridges be extended across the ends of the cul-de-sacs into the park land due to an existing ditch.
