HISTORY: A portion of this property was originally part of Creek Bend Estates. This
subdivision originally contained four lots. Three of the lots will be
incorporated into this plat, as well as two tracts of unplatted land to the
east.
The subject property, as well as the adjacent properties to the east and west
were recently rezoned from Agriculture (A) to Single Family-12 (SF-12)
as part of the city initiated called public hearing. The ordinance adopting
Item # 9
the rezoning from Retail to SF- 12 on Tract 1 was not passed by the City
Council.
On July 20, 2000 the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended
denial of a request to preliminary plat this tract of land, previously known
as Canterbury Court. Concerns of the Planning and Zoning Commission
included: the lack of stub out streets; the impact of this development on the
existing home to the west; the preservation of existing trees; the location of
the sanitary sewer line in relation to Lot 3; the proposed colors and details
of the proposed walls; and the submission of a HOA document.
A revised preliminary plat for 15 lots on this property (Canterbury Court)
was subsequently approved in October of this year. This approval was
subject to: City Council approval of the alley elimination and the length
of the cul-de-sac; the enhancement of the wall treatment with the addition
of a cap system on top to add some depth, and to include an ending
feature/element along DeForest Road and MacArthur Blvd.; approval of
the Homeowner's association documents; and provisions concerning tree
preservation.
T1L,kNSPORTATION: MacArthur Boulevard is a P6D thoroughfare currently built as a
four-lane divided street (23 feet of paving, back to back, in each
direction) contained within a 110 foot right-of-way DeForest Road
is an unimproved two-lane undivided residential street roughly 27
feet wide, contained within a 50 foot right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - single family; PD 132- SF-9
South - single family; PD 137 - SF
East - single family; SF- 12
West- single family; SF- 12
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows this property suitable for single
family residential uses.
DISCUSSION: As stated above, this tract has a long zoning and platting history. The
current request is to approve a final plat for 15 residential lots and two
HOA lots on this 3.4 acre tract of land which is in accordance with the
Preliminary Plat approved on this property. The name of the proposed
subdivision has been changed from Canterbury Court to Prestwick Court
due to similarity in names to existing streets and subdivisions in the City
of Coppell.
A portion of this land was part of the Creek Bend Estates subdivision,
and therefore, per requirements of Section 212.015 of the Local
Government Code, this request is a residential replat, and all (two)
Item # 9
property owners in the original subdivision were sent notices of this
request to replat this tract of land.
The preliminary plat for this tract was approved subject to several
conditions, most of which are reflected on the final plat. The first issue
related to the plans for tree preservation and retribution. The applicant
was permitted to phase the tree retribution. The trees lost initially due to
installation of streets and utilities will be replaced with plantings within
the individual lots and within the HOA areas. To assure that required
trees are installed and maintained, the following note has been added to
the face of the plat:
Trees that are planted in reparation for the trees being, removed
for the construction of streets and utilities (minimum 4 inch
caliper trees for a total of 308 caliper inches) shall be
maintained, and replaced if necessary, for a period of two years
from the time of planting. These trees shall be planted in
accordance with the tree Mitigation Plan dated 12/01/00
The lot owners will be responsible for tree retribution on the individual
lots. To assure that purchasers are aware of this financial commitment
the following wording has also been added to the face of the plat:
Monetary retribution for all trees removed on Lots 6 though 11
Block A and Lot 3, Block B shall be required prior to the
issuance ora building permit for those lots.
When this item was discussed by the Planning and Zoning Commission,
there were concerns about the general aesthetics of the wall along
MacArthur and Deforest, and the need to include an ending feature
element to the wall. This submission reflects the cap system to add
depth to the appearance of the wall, and a column at the terminus of the
wall adjacent to MacArthur Blvd. However, it is still recommended that
the wall "turns the corner" on Lot 5, for a length of approximately 40
feet to improve the visual appearance from southbound MacArthur
Boulevard.
Finally, the HOA documents have been reviewed by the City Attorney
and proposed revisions were furnished to the applicant on October 24,
2000. A revised document needs to be submitted prior to the filing of
this plat.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of the final plat for Prestwick
Court, subject to:
1) The screening wall being extended approximately 40 feet east,
along the north lot line of Lot 5, perpendicular to MacArthur
Blvd, as suggested by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Item # 9
2) The revised HOA documents being approved by the City
Attorney prior to the filing of this plat for record.
3) No trees shall be planted on top of the existing sanitary sewer line
located along the east side of MacArthur Blvd.
4) Sidewalks on the common areas shall be constructed within the
subdivision development.
5) Tree removal permit must be approved prior to the removal of
any trees on site along with a determination of scheduled Tree
Retribution for any tree removal.
