HISTORY: City Council approved a preliminary plat of this property,
essentially in this form, on October 11, 1994. The property owner
did not submit a final plat by July of 1995, therefore that approval
of the preliminary plat expired under the terms of paragraph G,
Section VIII of the Subdivision Ordinance.
TRANSPORTATION: The Thoroughfare Plan shows Coppell Road as a C2U collector
street within 60 feet of fight-of-way. The plan shows Sandy Lake
Road as a C4D collector street within 90 feet of fight-of-way.
Both roads currently have a 2-lane asphalt surface.

East single-family residential uses; PD-SF and SF-9
West - vacant and electrical sub-station; LI
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The 1987 Comprehensive Plan showed duplex and retail as
appropriate uses. The proposed 1996 Comprehensive Plan
shows single-family residential use as appropriate.
DISCUSSION: The Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council previously
approved this preliminary plat conditional upon an increase in building
setbacks on Lots 16 & 26 of Block A, and upon consideration being given
to turning the alley previously installed in Section llI away from Minyard
Drive. The applicant has changed the setback lines on the two lots in
question, but overlooked changing the corresponding notation from 15' to
25' on Lot 26.

Because the plat has been approved previously, staff recommends approval
of the preliminary plat subject to Engineering Department
recommendations.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat

3) Recommend modification of the Preliminary Plat

COMMENT STATUS: IqIELIMINAR Y
1. You should investigate the possibility of turning the alley back between lots 1 and 2,
Block A to intersect with Bricknell Lane. This would eliminate a situation where you
have a street, an alley and a street all intersecting a collector street within 250 foot of
each other. The City's experience with situations like this is they create havoc with
traffic, especially with the school to the east of this property.
2. The entire off-site drainage basin should be shown.
3. The correct visibility easements should be provided for all entrance points onto
Coppell and Sandy Lake Road and Minyard Drive.
These are informational comments and should have no bearing on the approval of the plat:
4. There is a good potential that you will have some street flooding associated with this
drainage design; however, those issues will be addressed during the review of the
construction plans.
5. All information concerning this site will be required to be submitted to the City on
computer diskette compatible with the City's computer system. Please contact Doug
Steven at 304-3683 to obtain additional information.
6. Impact fees will be required.

identified in the Subdivision Ordinance. This includes entry

system along the levy. Please contact the Leisure Services Department
