APPLICANT: HISTORY: Huntington Ridge Homeowner's Association c/o Gary Roden 130 Clover Meadow Coppell, TX 75019 Phone: 972-789-2698 Fax- 972-789-9957 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: Staff is recommending APPROVAL of PD-129R2, Parks of Coppell, Tract m, Huntington Ridge subdivision, subject to the following conditions: 1) 2) The proposed wall shall be constructed of the same design and material as the existing wall.
