ITEM 9
ANALYSIS:
Three special considerations have been requested for this
development including:
Lots 1-15, Block G, (lots adjacent to the existing
lake), be approved with no alleys.
STAFF COMMENT: The Comprehensive Subdivision Ordinance
states that alleys must be provided for in all
subdivisions. However, it has become Customary for the
City to grant approval for the deletion of alleys for lots
abutting creeks and lakes.
2) Minimum center-line street radius of 150'.
STAFF COMMENT: The Comprehensive Subdivision Ordinance
suggests a minimum center-line street radius of 450'
However, the Engineering department has no objections to
this request, mainly due to the limitations of this small
parcel and its location, which is bound by two existing
roadways.
3) Permit a median opening with left turn lane in
MacArthur Boulevard, at 285' from Allen Road (measured
from center-line to center-line).
STAFF COMMENT: For a major arterial such as MacArthur
Boulevard, this request is not in conformance with
Coppell's Roadway Functional Classification and Design
standards. The recommended median opening spacing is 500',
with a desirable spacing of 530'. However, the suggested
opening spacing minimum is 300'. Therefore, we recommend
denial of a median opening at this location.
In summary, staff has no objections to approval of the
preliminary plat, however, we recommend denial of the
request for the median opening with a left-turn lane.
ALTERNATIVES:
1) Approve the preliminary plat
2) Deny the preliminary plat
3} Modify the preliminary plat
