along Ruby Road, to align with the existing screening wall in
Deer Run. If reoriented in this manner the new address
would be 551 Hawken Dri'v'e. There are many mature trees
within this 0.7 acre lot. which the owner plans to preserve
with this redevelopment.
This house was constructed prior to the incorporation the city
of Coppell, and therefore this property has never been
platted. Per the provisions of Sec. 12-39-1 of the Zoning
Ordinance:
"Creation of building site.

building shall be issued until a building site is
established by a lot which is a part of an approved
plat filed in the plat records of the appropriate
county. "

he desires to build, architectural plans have not been
prepared. This Minor Plat serves to designate the front yard

abutting lots, establishes building lines and provides for the
dedication of 10 feet of right-of-way for Ruby Road. The
