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,
although technically, the zoning is (R) Retail, and (MF-2)
Multi-Family-2. 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, sent to the City a written request. The request
addressed the bank's right to offer no objections to the
rezoning', however, the bank requested that the City not
adopt an ordinance for the rezoning until we received
written approval from them. Staff has requested this
letter from the developer, but as this report goes to
printing, we have not received the letter necessary to
change the zoning to (SF-7). If the letter is not
submitted prior to the Planning and Zoning Commission
meeting, then staff would recommend denial of the
preliminary plat.
ITEM 8
There is an existing grove of trees located along the north
property line (parallel to 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. The applicant has
requested to deviate from the subdivision requirement to
provide alleys. The proposal is to delete alleys along the
§olf course and adjacent to the trees.
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, if a letter from First Gibraltar is
submitted prior to the Planning and Zoning Commission
meeting.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the Preliminary Plat 2) Deny the Preliminary Plat
3) Modify the Preliminary Plat
ATTAC}~MENTS: 1) Preliminary Plat

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
