There is significant history regarding the development of the
Huntington Ridge Subdivision. On May 2, 1992 Planning and Zoning
Commission denied the initial zoning change request from "TC"
Town Center to "SF-7" Single Family-7, and preliminary plat for the
subject site (containing 88 single family lots), based on concerns
surrounding the aesthetics, site plan, screening and access. On July
16, 1992, the Planning and Zoning Commission again denied a
revised version of the request, "SF-7 PD129" Single Family-7
Planned Development, due to the applicant not addressing many
outstanding issues, on August 20, 1992, the Planning and Zoning
Item # 5
Commission recommended approval of another revised plan, "SF-9
PD129R" Single Family-9 Planned Developmem 129R, which
addressed many of the outstanding concerns.
On September 8, 1992, City Council reviewed and took the case
under advisement until the October 13, 1992 Council meeting when
the request for the zoning change from "TC" Town Center to "SF9-
PD129R" Single Family-9 Planned Development 129R for the
construction of 86 single family homes within the Huntington Ridge
subdivision, was approved.
TRANSPORTATION:
Denton Tap Road is a six-lane divided thoroughfare (P6D) contained
within a 100 foot right-of-way; Parkway Boulevard is a four-lane
divided street (C4D) contained within an 88 foot right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- Andy Brown Park; "TC" Town Center
South - under construction (Dry Clean City); "C" Commercial
East - Eckerd, Princeton Office Park, and vacant land; '°I'C" Town Center
West- Coppell High School; "PD183 C" Planned Development 183-Commercial
COMPRI IqENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
medium density residential uses.
DISCUSSION:
The Huntington Ridge Homeowner's Association is requesting to
construct a 6' high masonry wall and a monument sign along Denton Tap
Road and revise the existing monument sign to accommodate raised
planting beds, The proposed changes to the site will specifically occur at
the intersection of Kingsridge Drive and Denton Tap Road. The proposed
wall and monument sign will be situated on the perimeter of the ¼ acre
open/green area owned and maintained by the Homeowner's Association,
which lies on the southwest comer of Kingsridge Drive & Denton Tap
Road. The applicant wishes to construct an angled monument sign with
planting bed, connected to a 60' long masonry wall parallel to Denton Tap
Road.
The wall will be constructed in line, and consistent with, the existing
Huntington Ridge wall to the north and terminate at the south property
line, where it will tie into the required 6' high masonry for the adjacent
Dry Clean City. There is an existing 20' wide drainage easement on which
the proposed wall will be placed. The applicant has provided a detail of the
wall in this location, indicating that the wall can be constructed without
interfering with the easement. City staff has reviewed the detail and finds
that it is acceptable. In order to ensure that the wall is designed to
Item# 5
accommodate the easement, staff has included a condition requiring the wall
to be built according to the submitted detail.
The proposed monument sign and planting bed will mirror the existing
monument sign and design of the planting bed on the north side of
Kingsridge. The only change to the existing planting bed will be the
conversion of the existing stacked landscape stones to a more permanent
brick border.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:

Huntington Ridge subdivision, subject to the following conditions:
