traffic studies and variance requests, were worked out with
Staff, and the Coppell Independent School District plat was
considered by the City Council on January 27, 1987, and
approved with conditions. (Please see attached City
Council minutes of January 27, 1987).
Final plat application was approved by the City Council on

west with a six foot (6') chain length fence being
constructed on the outside of the trees along the west
property line. Dr. Melvin Gross, who was in the
audience the night the preliminary plat was approved
by Council, stated that ha would be willing to donate
any property to the school that would be required to
put his fence on the outside area of the trees, and
this fence would also be constructed along the
southern property line up to Oak Trail. The gate to
this property would be for emergency use only. The
gate to this property on the south side of the
property would be considered to be for emergency
traffic only and extra emphasis on shrubbery would be
followed along the south property line from the chain
length fence east to the school's eastern most
property line.
That the fees be waived as requested and the City
Manager enter into negotiations with the Coppell
I.S.D. for some "in-kind" training of City employees.
Staff contacted the applicant's representative to inform
them that the final plat would have to be submitted to the
City for signatures within six months from the date of City
Council approval. The Comprehensive Subdivision Ordinance
requires that if a final plat is not submitted for
signatures within six months, resubmittal shall be required.
Current subdivision regulations will apply to the
resubmittal, and the Development Review Committee has
reviewed this item for conformance to all City standards.
