ITI~ 9
ANALYS I S:
Although staff had strongly recom~ended against approving
the zoning which preceded this plat, Planning Commission
recommended (3-2) that zoning be granted. This plat
conforms to the basic conditions of PD-SF-? zoning. A
private park was requested by Commission. This private
park was proposed, and agreed to by the developer, in
addition to the 30 acre park site south of this plat.
There are basically five (5) concerns with this preliminary
plat as a result of staff analysis:
1] it -is not clear how the right-of-way for State Highway
121 Bypass is being dedicated - it doesn't show on
either plat,
2) a Homeowners' Agreement needs to be submitted (as well
as a Homeowner's Association needs to be established)
to assure maintenance of all common open spaces,
3) additional detail on landscaping along 121, Denton
Tap, the pocket park, and the common boundary with
Lewisville needs to be submitted and approved by
Commission,
4) only partial dedication of Denton Tap is shown; how do
we acquire the 20 foot dedication through the leave
out parcel (zoned HC)?
5) 1800 square foot houses were agreed to during zoning,
and indication of minimum air-conditioned square
footage should be indicated on the plat.
In addition, staff provides you with the zoning approval
letter with fourteen (14) conditions listed to insure the
developer follows those conditions.
As a final comment, remarks were made during the zoning
hearing that suggested the M.U.D. issue was being
addressed. I have included a letter from Paul Phy to the
potential developer of this land, stating the M.U.D.'s
concern with this development. The concern stated warrants
discussion at the public hearing before taking action on
this case.

Dear Mr. Thompson:
It has come to the District's attention that at the P & Z Hearing
on the "Magnolia Tract" on July 1, 1991, it was represented to P &
Z that District water and sewer facilities, including temporary
service, are available to serve that land. This allegation is not
correct and the City will be so advised.
Ail requests to connect to District facilities or to obtain new
service can only be approved by the District's Board of Directors.
The request must be in writing, signed by the landowner or his
legally designated agent and provide all necessary engineering and
development data required by the District. The District has
received no such request.
The District's existing facilities were not designed nor are they
available to serve the Magnolia tract. Service to the Magnolia
Tract will have to be a part of an overall plan to serve all
property in Coppell north of Denton Creek in accordance with a
plan developed by the District, the City, your predecessor and
adjacent property owners several years ago. It will require
substantial financial commitments from the owners of the Magnolia
Tract and other property owners involved.
Accordingly, if you are proposing to purchase the Magnolia Tract,
and you propose to connect to the District's water and sewer
system, you should promptly make an appropriate written request to
the District. Please submit the request to the District at the
address shown above. The matter will then be placed on the next
available Agenda of a meeting of the Board of Directors. Their
next meeting is at 8:30 a.m on July 9th. If you wish to be on
that Agenda, I must receive your written request not later than
10:00 a.m. on Friday, July 5th.
