PD145R(CH)-CS 96070987/11/96 13:86 CITY OF COPPELL ENGINEERING - BLDG INSPECTION N0.431 Q02 Report of the Woodridge Advisory Committee ' July 9, 1996 Carports and Garages for PD-145-R 07×11×96 13:07 CITY OF COPPELL ENGINEERING ~ BLDG INSPECTION N0.431 Q04 REVISIONS SHOWN IN Bold Italic ~ypestyle ~7×11x96 15:06 CITY OF COPPELL ENGINEERING ~ BLDG INSPECTION N0.431 The Committee consisted of two owners of property within the area to be affected, one resident and one non-resident; plus two resident owners of property within the larger Woodrid§e neighborhood, both officers of the ad hoc Woedridge Homeowners Association; and two members of the Coppell Planning and Zoning Commission, as follows: Susan Blackwood Rick McCaffrey, Chairman George Redford Gary Daniels Kevin Matheny Hal Sauls Prior to meeting, each committee member inspected and evaluated the six garages and five carports already in place within the planned development district. These are the results of that s~'vey. All six garages were acceptable in terms of appearance, but a garage placed close to the alley was ranked only marginally accep~le in terms of location. The five cari~rts ranked Iow in terms of ~pearance, with three unacceptable and two only marginally acceptable. As to location, however, the carports were a~le even when placed close to the alley. Flat roofs were unacceptable. While the group thought that carport and garage roofs should be pitched, they did not think however that the roofs had to be pitched as steeply as the house roof. Roof'mg material and brick on an added carport or garage should match the roofing and brick on the house. Wood and other materials should be painted to match the paint on the house. Garage doors (with or without garage door opener~) need to be farther away from 'the alley than carports, b~ at least ten feet. There should be no more than one accessory storage building in addition to a garage or caq~rt. During the committee [neeting, the majority agreed that fully enclosed, attached garages were first preference. However, the group realized that this would not be possible in many cases and that covered parking in other forms may be preferable to uncovered parking in its present state. Following the committee di~us$ion, staff prepared a draft ordinance amendmcnl for each committee member ~o review and critiqu©. A copy of the revised text follows. 07×11×96 15:07 CITY OF COPPELL ENGINEERING - BLDG INSPECTION N0.451 Q05 l~rking Regulations: Two (2) off-street spaces per unit located behind the front yard line.
