TRANSPORTATION:
Future residents of this subdivision will gain entrance
into the subdivision by way of Sandy Lake Road and
MacArthur Boulevard to the south.
ANALYSIS: Turnberry Village Addition has been submitted for your
review and approval of a single-family preliminary plat. A
zoning request was approved last year by the City Council
to rezone the property from (R) and (MF-2) to (SF-7)
Single-Family-7 on this parcel, and other parcels within
the Riverchase development were rezoned for other uses as
well. The owner of the property, First Gibraltar Bank,
FSB, has recently sent a written request to consummate the
rezoning. Because the zoning is (SF-7), and the plat
proposal honors this zoning classification, this plat can
be approved with consideration of the following issues.
There is an existing §rove of trees located along the north
property line (parallel to proposed Palmer Lane), that the
developer wishes to preserve. The trees will be of
additional value to the lots, and will provide beauty to
the rear lots. Unfortunately, these trees weave in and out
of the subject property and the property to the north.
ITEM 6
The applicant has requested to deviate from the subdivision
requirement to provide alleys. The proposal is to delete
alleys along the golf course and adjacent to the trees.
Staff would reserve comment on the alley requirement until
after hearing the applicant's presentation.
In summary, although the Comprehensive Master Plan proposes
a more intense use than what is proposed, staff supports
the low density proposal. We recommend approval of the
preliminary plat with assurances that Riverchase Boulevard
will be a continuous street from Sandy lake to the existing
roadway at the golf club building. We would reserve
judgement on the alley issue until after the applicant's
presentation at the Commission meeting.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the Preliminary Plat 2) Deny the Preliminary Plat
3) Modify the Preliminary Plat
ATTACI{MENTS: 1) Preliminary Plat
2) Letter of June 24, 1991 requesting alley deletion

Re= Preliminary Plat - TurnberryVillage
Dear Mr. Sieb=
As you know, we have submitted a preliminary plat of the above
referenced project for consideration by the City of Coppell.
One unfortunate characteristic of this site is the scarcity of
native trees. The only nice trees existing on or adjacent to the
tract are in a tree line which runs along the north line of Block
"B'. To my dismay, my engineer has told me that the construction
of the proposed alley along this property line will cause all of
these trees to die.
In order to save these trees, I would like to amend our requested
Variance No. 1 to include that no alleys be required along this
southerly, north line as well as along the golf course.
Thank you for your consideration of this issue. If you would like
to discuss this, please let me know.
Sincerely,
Don Huffines
