Re: Development Review Committee Meeting
October 3rd Comments
Dear Ms. Daneshmand:
The following is our review comments for the projects discussed during the
October 3, 1991 Development Review Committee Meeting:
1. Big Cedar - Final Plat & Plans
In general, most of our previous review comments concerning the final
plat and plans have been addressed by the developer. However, a few
items on the plans are in need of revision (see our letter to you, dated
October 3, 1991).
In addition, the following items should be addressed or discussed with
the Planning & Zoning Commission:
a. An additional 30-foot sanitary sewer easement is required along the
backs of Lots 9-12 for a future 15-inch sanitary sewer. We have
discussed this with the developer's engineer and it is our
understanding that they are reviewing this request.
b. The developer has not provided the alley behind Lots 37-41 as
recommended by Staff.
c. Harris Road Improvements are not included in this project. The
developer has explained Harris Road plans will be submitted shortly
by another developer. It is our recommendation that n__o building
permits be issued for this addition until Harris Road is improved to
City Standards and accepted by the City.

2. Gibbs Station - Phase One, Preliminary Plat & Plans
In general, our previous review comments concerning corrections on the
preliminary plat and plans have been addressed by the developer. The
following items should be addressed or discussed with the Planning &
Zoning Commission:
a. Village Parkway and Beverly Drive are both existing streets;
therefore, they cannot be dedicated again to the City by this plat.
The final plat should describe these rights-of-way in a "Save &
Except" clause within the Owner's Certificate.
b. In accordance with the Subdivision Regulations, Appendix A,
Paragraph 12, residential lots shall not have direct access to
collector or arterial streets. Lots 1-5, Block A; Lots 1 & 18-32,
Block B; Lots 1 & 22-35, Block C; Lot 7, Block D; and Lots 45-48,
Block F all have direct access to Village Parkway which is an
existing collector street by definition of Coppell's Thoroughfare
Plan.
c. Gibbs Crossing, between Block A & B, is in excess of the maximum
block length allowed by the Subdivision Regulations. Maximum length
allowed is 1,200 feet; actual shown is 1,600 feet in length.
d. The 35-foot strip of land for the outfall channel along the south
side of Lots 34-42, block E, needs to he labeled as common area and
defined as a drainage easement to the City.
e. Lots 15 & 16, Block A, do not have access to an alley and are not
immediately adjacent to a creek or lake area.
3. Gibbs Station - Phase Two, Preliminary Plat & Plans
In general, our previous review comments concerning corrections on the
preliminary plat and plans have been addressed by the developer. The
following items should be addressed or discussed with the Planning &
Zoning Commission:
a. In accordance with the Subdivision Regulations, Appendix A,
Paragraph 12, residential lots shall not have direct access to
collector or arterial streets. Lots 1-6, Block G have direct access
to existing Allen Road which is an existing collector street by
definition of Coppell's Thoroughfare Plan.

b. Allen Road is mislabeled as a 28-foot back-to-back residential
street.
4. Sandy Lake, Lot 1, Block "B", Final Plat
In general, our previous review comments were addressed or corrected.
Items that still need addressed are:
a. We are still unclear as to what a "revision area" is. The plat
should stand alone without any need for an outside explanation as to
the purposes of the labeled easements or set aside areas.
b. When a site plan is submitted, water and sewer impact fees, street
cut fee and construction inspection fees will be calculated.
We are retaining copies of the marked up sets of Gibbs Station, Phase I & II
and the Sandy Lake Addition, Lot 1, Block B. As revised plats and plans are
submitted for review, we will forward the markups to you for your use and
records.
We are also enclosing three letters of transmittal from Dan M. Dowdey
Associates to Ms. Taryon Bowman for Gibbs Station, Phase I & II and Sandy Lake
Addition, Lot 1, Block B. Please see that she has these for her files.
We are available to discuss these projects further at you% convenience.
