Kapp II 316 Gifford Dr. Coppell, Tx 75019 RE: PD-150 VILLAGE AT COTTONWOOD CREEK COMMUNITY RECREATIONAL CENTER ZONING CHANGE FROM "SF-7' TO "PD RECREATIONAL CENTER Dear Sir: I attended the lanuary 18th Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting, dealing with a zoning change request for Cottonwood Creek Section ~4. I strongly oppose this pending zoning change for the following reasons: · Since Copper has no experience with public swimming pools, I think any experimentation should be done by the city and not developers. · I am also firmly against a swimming pool that does not provide lifeguard supervision. · The residents of Cottonwood Creek ~6, will bear the expense of this swimming pool, do not exist and have therefore not expressed an interest in having/supporting a neighborhood swimming pool. · I believe it will increase traffic through my neighborhood or at the very least Parkwood Blvd. · I believe it will eventually become a magnet for vandals and child molesters. · Even if I agreed with a neighborhood pool, the cost for me to join would be prohibitive. I already pay and Annual Homeowners Association fee of $206. When you add the annual $350 pool membership fee, my Annual Homeowners Association fee would be $556. I urge you to take my concerns into considerations and refuse the zoning change request. However, if you think it is a good time to experiment with neighborhood swimming pools, re-zone your neighborhood and start there.

HEARING DATE: February 13, 1996 LOCATION: South side of Hardwick Court; along the north side of Parkway Boulevard SIZE OF AREA: Total site area: 13,440 sq. ft. CURRENT ZONING: SF-7 (Single Family-7) REQUEST: PD-Recreational Center (Planned Development, Recreational Center) APPLICANT: Owner: Engineer: Jim Sowell Company Tipton Engineering, Inc. 3131 McKinney, Ste. 200 6330 Belt Line Rd., Ste. C Dallas, TX 75204 Garland, TX 75043 (214) 871-3320 (214) 226-2967 HISTORY: The final plat for Villages of Cottonwood Creek VI was approved by City Council on December 13, 1994. TRANSPORTATION: Parkway Blvd. is a C4D, four-lane divided street, built to standard in an 85 foot r.o.w. The extension of Parkway Blvd. to Denton Tap Road is forthcoming. Coppell Road is shown as a C2U, but is currently an unimproved two lane asphalt road contained within 110 feet of r.o.w. Item// 10 SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North- single-family; "SF-7N South- single-family; NSF-7" East - single-family; 'SF-9~ and "SF-12" West - single-family; 'SF-7~ COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The 1987 Comprehensive Plan shows multi-family uses here, although the rezoning efforts of 1994 resulted in single-family use as most appropriate. DISCUSSION: The purpose of this recreational center is to provide a community pool for the residents of Village at Cottonwood Creek, Section VI residential subdivision. The recreational center will be used only for swimming purposes. Consequently, the center will be operational only during the summer months and closed the rest of the year. The homeowners association will maintain the recreational center and residents will be able to access the area by a coded card. There will be no lifeguards, residents will swim at their own risk. Signs will be posted explaining the rules and regulations of the recreational area. The proposed pool will measure 1,800 sq. ft. and no more than 40 people would be able to swim at one time. When fully developed, the Village at Cottonwood Creek, Section VI subdivision will have approximately 180 homes. Many of the homes will have pools in their backyard, therefore, the intent of this community recreational center is to provide pool access for homes without swimming pools. The applicant believes that most of the residents will walk or be dropped off at the community recreational center. On the site plan, the applicant is showing 1 handicapped space and 7 regular parking spaces. Coppell's zoning ordinance does not have a parking requirement for this specific use. The closest uses listed in the zoning ordinance are Community Center, Library, Museum or Art Gallery which requires 10 parking spaces plus 1 additional space for each 300 sq. ft. of floor area in excess of 2,000 sq. ft. and a Sports Arena which requires 1 parking space for each 3 seats or bench seating spaces. If approved, this would be the first community recreational center to be maintained by a homeowners association in Coppell. However, in other surrounding communities, many of the residential subdivisions do have similar recreational centers. The applicant has been personally involved in developing similar recreational facilities in Frisco, Plano, and Richardson, some providing even less parking in subdivisions of comparable density. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of this planned development recreational center. Although parking may be questioned, the applicant will provide the Commission with statistics and figures which address the issue.
