The Planning and Zoning Commission approved a preliminary plat
for Burch Addifon, Lot 3, Block A, on July 21, 1994, with the
following conditions:
1. A tree survey locating all trees 8 inches or larger in caliper
must be provided;
2. a landscaping plan must be submitted;
3. a property owner's agreement to maintain landscaping is
required;
4. The existing eight-inch sewer on the west side of this property
will eventually be enlarged to 12 inches per Coppell's Master
Plan. To accomplish that work, the developer needs to
provide the following: a) a minimum 20-foot permanent
easement; b) a 40-foot temporary construction easement;
Item 10
HISTORY: (Cont'd)
5. utility layout needs to be provided;
6. floodplain must be indicated by metes and bounds;
7. the fencing requirement on the west property line needs
Board of Adjustment resolution; and
8. the left-turn lane and the common access easement must be
constructed with the first development on any of the four lots.
The City Council approved the preliminary plat for Burch
Addition, Lot 3, Block A, on August 9, 1994, with the following
conditions:
1. a property owner's agreement to maintain landscaping is
required;
2. utility layout needs to be provided;
3. the left-mm lane and the common access easement must be
constructed prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy
on either Lots 1, 3 or 4. This requirement does not apply to
the Certificate of Occupancy for Lot 2;
4. a development line be established on the west side of the
utility line at Final Plat along the proposed sewer line.
On advice of the City Attorney, the Planning and Zoning
Commission disapproved the final plat on March 16, 1995,
because the Zoning Ordinance requires landscaping 10 feet in
width between vehicular-use areas and side property lines. The
Building Inspection Department has since agreed to accept
landscaping 6 feet in width without a variance by the Board of
Adjustment.
TRANSPORTATION:
Denton Tap Road is a P6D, six-lane divided thoroughfare built to
standard in a 100 foot r.o.w.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - non-conforming mobile homes;
South - developing commercial; 'C~
East - developed post office; ~C~
West - developing single-family; SF- 12
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Plan shows retail as the most appropriate use here.
Item 10
DISCUSSION:
The proposed lot is in a wooded area containing a number of large trees. The final plat shows
22 trees on the lot ranging in size from 6~ caliper to 24* caliper. The applicant has submitted
a landscape plan which shows the apparent proposed removal of 14 trees, ranging in size from
6~ caliper to 22~ caliper. None are located where the proposed building is to go. Twelve are
located within the required 30' front yard and required 30' side yards. Three of the trees are
located where no paving is shown on the site plan. One 22'-caliper tree is located where
pavement is proposed, but where by the provision of a parking island, pavement would not be
needed. A total of 8 trees, located within required yards, will be destroyed because of the
amount of proposed pavement. This loss will be an aggregate of 102 caliper-inches, permissible
if replaced by 34 trees each 3~ in caliper or by a smaller number of larger trees.
The circulation around the proposed building needs to be one-way, because there is a drive-up
service window on the south side. If circulation is two-way, traffic at the service window will
be traveling on the left side of the driveway. The applicant has revised the site plan to show
one-way drives, however the driveway width is still 24'. This width is far greater than
necessary to accommodate one lane of traffic and is likely to encourage conflicting traffic
circulation.
The submittal drawings of the past 3 months tend to indicate an apparent determination to pave
as much area around the proposed building as possible. The zoning ordinance requires only 15
parkings spaces. The site plan shows 20 parking spaces, 13 in the front and 7 in the back. The
pavement around the building is there to provide access to 7 parking spaces (of which 5 are
superfluous), access to a drive-up window, and access to a dumpster. Two 10'- to 15'-wide
driveways would be adequate for those purposes. Fire lanes around the building are
unnecessary, because the building is only 40' wide by 75' deep.
The final plat now shows a 20' wide hike-and-bike trail easement crossing the location of 2
parking spaces as shown on the site plan near the southeast corner of the property. The site plan
does not show the easement. In addition, the landscape and irrigation plans are not signed and
sealed, and there are a couple of minor irregularities or omissions on the site plan and landscape
plan submissions:
1. Parking spaces are 9' x 18~, instead of the 180 s.f. required.
2. The 28 dwarf burford holly enumerated on the planting schedule at 3' spacing are
adequate to create 84 lineal feet of landscaping. The landscape plan shows 510 lineal
feet of burford holly. The schedule appears to be 142 plants short.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff previously has recommended approval of the final plat subject to certain conditions. The
only change in the plat itself, is the addition of the hike-and-bike trail at the southeast corner.
Staff again recommends approval subject to certain conditions. They are:
1. Removal of the hike-and-bike trail easement from the southeast corner. (See Butch
Item 10
Se
Addition, Lot 4, Block A, Final Plat for explanation.)
Provision of seal and signature of Licensed Landscape Irrigator on irrigation plans.
Provision on the landscape plans of seal and signature of Landscape Architect registered
in the State of Texas or landscape contractor that belongs to a bona fide Nurseryman's
Association.
Revision of the site plan to show one westbound driveway on the north side of the
property and one eastbound driveway on the south side of the property each no wider
than 12 feet and to show parking space sizes which comply with zoning ordinance
requirements.
Revision of the site plan to show a monument sign similar to the one on Lot 2 of Burch
Addition (no larger than 50 s.f.).
Revision of the landscape plan to show caliper-inch-for-caliper-inch replacement of each
existing tree to be removed within the required yards and to list quantifies of plant
materials adequate to occupy the spaces in which they are shown at the spacing specified.
Submission of 17 copies of each plan, revised as specified, plus 3 reductions of each on
8~/~"xl 1" paper and one reduction of each on an 8~/~"xl 1" overhead transparency no later
than 12 noon on Wednesday, 13 days in advance of the City Council meeting date on
which the final plat will be considered.

ITEM: T~e Butch Addition, Lot 3, Block A, Jqnal Plat, to allow t~e

COMMENT STATUS: ~ .°°v' ..--,.-,..,... ,a.,~ .~.. ow ,/' F/NAL
Developer Information Comment:
As per the agreement when the preliminary plat of the Butch addition was approved, prior
to the second user going in on Lots 1-4, the left turn lane will be required to be
constructed. It appears as though your property is the second user; therefore, prior to
obtaining approvals to move forward on your construction, the left turn lane will need to
be constructed. The left turn lane will be on the south side of your property. Therefore,
along with the platting of this property, the additional easements to insure that the 25' fire
lane and mutual access easement can connect to the curb cut for the left turn lane will be
required from Lot 4.
It appears as though the location of the irrigation system and the landscaping is going to
be in conflict with the sanitary sewer to be constructed late this year. There needs to be
some discussion between the applicant and the City as to the possibility of delaying the
installation of the irrigation and landscaping until such time as the sewer line has been
installed without delaying the approval of a CO, if in fact the facility is constructed prior
to the installation of the sanitary sewer line.
Provide a sanitary sewer lateral to the rear of the property with a waste water access
device. Contact Howard Pafford at 304-3548 for information.
