A request for 122 townhouses on approximately 24 acres and
commercial/retail uses on approximately five acres was submitted
for property adjacent to this request in 2006. After several
postponements, the request was denied by the Planning
Commission and not appealed to City Council. In April of 2007, a
revised plan was submitted on the same parcel which included
73 single-family lots on 24 acres and commercial/retail uses on
five acres. That request was approved by both the Planning
Commission and City Council in mid 2007. During those hearings,
the applicant expressed a desire to add two more residential lots
to the PD if an agreement could be worked our between the
applicant and an adjacent land owner. An agreement has been

,~,Jched, hence the request to ad... ,wo lots to the PD by this
preliminary plat request.
TRANSPORTATION:
Denton Tap Road is a P6D, improved concrete, six-lane divided
thoroughfare contained within a 11O-foot right-of-way. Sandy
Lake Road is an existing asphalt two-lane road to eventually be
improved to a C4D, four-lane, divided thoroughfare contained
within a 110 foot right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North-GTE Warehouse; R (Retail)
South-single-family residences; SF-12 (Single-Family 12)
East-vacant; PD-SF-9/C, (PO for Residential/Commercial)
West-single-family residences; SF-7 (Single Family 7)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Coppell Comprehensive Master Plan, as amended, shows the
property as suitable for single-family uses.
DISCUSSION:
This preliminary plat would allow an expansion of the Arbor
Manors Planned Development. This .87 acre parcel is being
platted into two lots, one common area, and street right-of-way
to gain access to the residential sites. Because it is a logical
expansion to the existing PO, and the fact that the applicant had
indicated a desire to add to the PD if this property could be
acquired, we can support this request. Once the Final Plat is
approved for this parcel, the PO will contain 75 single-family lots
and be reflective of the Comprehensive Plan's ultimate use for
this property.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of this request, all conditions have been met.
ALTERNATIVES:
1) Recommend approval of the request
2) Recommend disapproval of the request
3) Recommend modification of the request

TRANSPORTATION:
Denton Tap Road is a P6D, improved, concrete, six-lane divided
thoroughfare contained within a 110 foot right-of-way. Sandy

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Coppell Comprehensive Master Plan, as amended, shows the
property as suitable for single-family uses.
DISCUSSION:
This request, if approved, will allow development of Arbor Manors,
a 73 lot, single-family subdivision with ten common areas.
Ultimate residential build-out will include an additional two
residential lots on the western portion of this PD. A preliminary plat
has been submitted to include that .9 acre parcel. Total lot count
would then be 75 lots. No lot in this subdivision is less than 8,250
square feet, with minimum lot width of 75 feet, and minimum
depth of 110 feet. This development will compliment the already
developed single-family lots to the south (in fact these lots are
somewhat larger than those in Wynnpage), and is in
conformance with the Comprehensive Plan in both land use and
density. This parcel is a replat of property that had formerly been
platted into one large lot for purposes of selling the land. With
compliance with the conditions listed below, staff can support this
request.
