HISTORY: In 1985 the City Council approved a zoning change from a Multi
Family-2 district and a Retail district to PD-97 for retail uses on this
property and the adjoining 120,000 square-foot shopping center on
11.6 acres of land. The Final Plat for the Comers of Coppell
Addition was approved in 1986, which encompasses the subject
property as Lot 2. No mutual access or fire lanes to serve Lot 2 were

recorded as part of this Final Plat; however, the current applicant has
provided staff a copy of a "Reciprocal Easement Agreement" which
provides for non-location specific cross access between Lot 2 and the
remainder of the shopping center. The owners, at the time of the
agreement, were Southland Corp (7-11) and Corners of Coppell
Joint Venture.
It appears that the shopping center changed ownership between 1986
and 1992. In 1992, the current owner, Blue Chip Partners, replatted
the Comers of Coppell into three lots to allow for the marketing of
the individual lots (building and pazking) for office uses. Lot 2 was
not included in this replatting activity nor was any provision for
mutual access between these two lots.
TRANSPORTATION: Sandy Lake Road has recently been improved to a four-lane divided
thoroughfare within 110 feet of right-of--way. MacArthur is
constructed at a four lane divided thoroughfare with sufficient right-
of-way to accommodate asix-lane divided roadway.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - Retail; C (Commercial)
South -Vacant Shopping Center; PD-97-Retail
East -Single Family-Woodridge, Section 5; PD-145
West - Vacant Shopping Center; PD-97-Retail
COMPREHENSNE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
neighborhood retail uses
DISCUSSION: This request for replat approval is the companion request to
the amendment to PD-97-R to allow for the development of
a retail building on this tract of property. Given that staff is
recommending the rezoning for the retail building be held
under advisement to allow additional time to resolve access
and issues, this plat needs to be denied per Section 212.009
of the Local Government Code, which states that if action
is not taken on a plat within 30 days of the date it is
submitted, the plat is considered approved. It can be
brought back with the zoning request at a later date. Anew
application/fee will not be required, only a revised plat

which addresses the access and fire lane issues, and revised
to reflect the following:
1) The filing information of easement instruments
required to provide needed off-site mutual access and
fire lanes. Provide an access easement across your
property to align with the "Reciprocal Access
Easement" to the south. To prevent access
problems for this site in the future, staff
recommends that the "Reciprocal Access
Easement" be tied down by metes and bounds and
filed with the County. (Engineering comments)
