COMMENT STATUS: ,~PRELIMINARY
Preliminary Plat Comments:
1. Information should be provided on the flood protection provided by the levee. The
Coppell Floodplain Ordinance requires that the height of the levee be based on the
standard project flood elevation plus 3 feet of freeboard. Minimum finish floors will
be required for lots adjacent to the levee.
2. Any access to the state highway will also require TxDOT approval.
3. The correct visibility easement at Bella Vista and Vista Ridge Blvd. should be shown.
The 45' x 45' is incorrect. This could affect placement of walls and landscaping.
4. The lot layout (Lots 15, 16 & 17, Block N) should be the same on the plat, water and
sewer and drainage plans. This will affect the placement of inlets.
5. Is Forest Hill proposed to be constructed at this time? If so, the right of way should
be dedicated. Also, the median will be a common area maintained by the HOA. If
it is not to constructed, please remove from the plat. You should show the medians
on MacArthur and other streets so we can determine if the location is acceptable.
6. The center median of the round about should be circular. The actual layout and
details will be approved during the plan review. Also, you should show the
landscaping in the round about.
Drainage Comments:
1. A offsite drainage map should be provided.
2. Positive overflow will be required at all Iow point inlets.
