Item 16:
Consider approval of a final plat and variances for Coppell
High School, at the request of Coppell I.S.D., on property
located approximately 1000 feet west of Denton Tap Road, and
approximately 1300 feet north of Sandy Lake Road.
Date of Planning and Zoning meeting - August 20, 1987
Decision of Planning and Zoning Commission - Approved (6-0)
Planning and Zoning Coordinator Taryon Bowman made the presentation to
the Council. She stated that this is a request of a final plat for
Coppell High School on 49.9 acres of land. Several variances have been
requested such as building height, lighting, parking, parking surface,
and screening wall. The school district has also requested a waiver for
the payment of water and sewer availability fees, sewer contract fees,
water tap fees and construction permit fees. Ail DRC comments have been
addressed, therefore, staff has no objections. Mr. Jim Boughton of
SHWC Architects made the presentation to the Council on behalf of the
applicant. Due to a conflicting function this same night, there was no
one from the Coppell I.S.D. or School Board present. Following
discussion, Councilman Smothermon moved that Council approve the final
plat of Coppell I.S.D. for the Coppell High School and that this
approval be subject to the conditions set forth in the preliminary plat
as reiterated below:
That the building height be granted a variance to allow for a
proposed height of the structure to fifty-two feet (52').
Mo
That the variance on the lighting be approved with the use of a
blinder to cut the sideways spillage of the light onto adjoining
property owners.
That the variance from the required two thousand (2,000) parking
spaces be decreased to one thousand two hundred fifty (I,250).
That five inches (5") of concrete on a prepared snbgrade be allowed
for the entire parking area with no gravel parking areas.
That as many trees as possible will be left on the west with a six
foot (6') chain length fence being constructed on the outside of
the trees along the west property line. Dr. Melvin Gross, who was
in the audience to night the preliminary plat was approved by
Council, stated that he would be willing to donate any property to
the school that would be required to put this fence on the outside
area of the trees and this fence would also be constructed along
the southern property line up to Oak Trail. The gate to this
property would be for emergency use only. The gate to this
property on the south side of the property would be considered to
be for emergency traffic only and extra emphasis on shrubbery would
be followed along the south property line from the chain length
fence east to the school's eastern most property line.
That the fees be waived as requested and the City Manager enter into
negotiations with the Coppell I.S.D. for some "in-kind" training of City
employees. Mayor Pro Tem Stanton seconded; motion carried unanimously
with Mayor Pro Tem Stanton, Councilmen Wilkerson, Pettijohn, Morton,
Smothermon, Cowman and Wolfe voting in favor of the motion.
