MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Taryon Bowman, Planning and Zoning Coordinator
RE: Connell Skaggs Addition - Lots 1, 2, & 3 - Final Plat
Staff has reviewed the above referenced project and request that
this item be placed on the April 16, 1987 Planning and Zoning
Commission docket. However, due to substantial material being
submitted to our offices by the applicant on Monday, April 13,
1987, staff is currently reviewing the project, as to not cause
futher delay.
Listed below are the major concerns:
(1) Sheet flowing the entire site is not recommended
because of the following reasons:
a) Flooding
b) Erosion
(2) Due to the rapid growth of Coppell, staff re-
commends that consideration be given to the
placement of the propsed future Box Culvert
at this time.
(3) A portion of the Engineering Report and data on
the existing and proposed drainage system, along
the west property line, were submitted to the
Engineering Department on Monday, April 13, 1987.
Staff has not had an opportunity to review this
report along with our Consulting Engineers, Ginn,
Inc.
(4) Location of easements needs to be worked out with
the Utility Companies.
Staff should be able to answer your questions at the Planning and
Zoning Commission meeting on April 16, 1987.

Dear Ms. Bowman:
As you are aware, the Final Plat for the above referenced project has been submitted to
the City for review. This plat is scheduled to be placed on the April 16th Planning
Agenda, and the May 12th City Council meeting agenda for consideration and adoption.
We respectfully request, on behalf of our clients, Skyhawk Venture and American Stores
Properties, Inc., owners of the project, that certain variances to the City's Zoning and
Subdivision Ordinance be allowed. These requested variances are as follows:
1. Use of painted concrete block in lieu of masonry elements for building
construction in the service areas (see letter dated 1/30/87, from Richard
Watson to Dale Jackson, copy enclosed).
2. Waiver of the requirement to construct a sanitary sewer main along the site
frontage on Denton Tap Road. We feel that since the northeast corner of the
site is located at a natural high point, a main in this location would be unable to
service any sites to the north and, therefore, would be an unjustified expense.
3. Deferment of the required screening wall along the west property line until
construction of the future building on Lot 3 and the future box culvert. The
construction of the wall at this time may impede the construction of the future
box culvert along this property line. This box culvert is to be constructed when
Lot 3 of the site is developed.
Please include this request for these variances in the package to be submitted to the
Planning Commission and City Council

SUBJECT: Final Plat/Site Plan; Lots 1, 2, and 3
Connell Skaggs Addition
~ Corner Denton Tap Road./Sandy Lake Road
After reviewing the above referenced project, we offer the
following comments:
Our last review and comments on this property were made in April
1986, and then again in July 1986. Since that time, we have not
been a part of the review process on this particular subject.
Therefore, some of our comments may or may-not be applicable due
to prior discussions, agreements, or provisions made by and
between the owners, engineers, and city staff.
1. We requested previously that dedication of right-of-way
along Denton Tap be provided to have 140' wide right-of-way
within 300 feet of intersection. Also, Denton Tap right-of-
way needs to be 120' wide in accordance with County requests.
2. Prior concerns over drainage on west end of property are
still valid at this point in time.
3. We have major concerns about entire site "sheet" flowing to
west into the drainage ditch; no provision for on-site
detention or collection.
4. Storm drainage should use 100-year storm, not 50-year as shown.
5. When "sheet flow" hits screening wall on west property line,
what will happen?
6. Screening wall should be a part of initial site development,
not future.
7. The City does not recommend clay tile pipe for sewer mains;
would prefer PVC.
8. No open cutting of Denton Tap or Sandy Lake shall be allowed
for water or sewer improvements.
9. Will the 6" thick concrete pavement be adequate for truck
traffic.
10. Please include latest revised detail sheets as part of plans.
