single-family, parks and open space uses.
ANALYSIS:
As an overall statement, this plat generally conforms to our plating
requirements, and staff supports this application. There are some additional
comments to be made, however:
-escrow will be required for DeForest Road
-sanitary sewer will need to be provided; utility and construction plans
are needed
-deletion of alley needs to be resolved
-floodplain and floodway needs to be shown on the plat
-approval of the submitted floodplain study must be procured prior to
final plat approval
-this development will necessitate a minimum dwelling unit size of
2400 square feet, maximum lot coverage of 10%
-an 8 foot wide concrete trail needs to be constructed within the Hike
and Bike easement, location to be coordinated with Coppell Parks
Division
-minimum lot width in an "A" district is 200 feet, this plat shows 155
feet, thus Board of Adjustment variance must be obtained prior to final
plat approval
Assuming the applicant will resolve these issues, staff recommends approval of
the preliminary plat subject to these conditions being met.

2) Deny the plat
