C. HEARING DATE: June 12, 1990 LOCATION: Northwest corner of Freeport Parkway and Cotton Road. SIZE OF AREA: 103.82 acres REQUEST: Approval of a final plat along with the following deviations from the Comprehensive Subdivision Ordinance: 1) the landscaping of parkways shall be completed as the individual lots are developed, 2) all applicable fees shall be paid by the lot owners as the individual lots are developed, 3) although Freeport Parkway is a secondary image-zone, no trees will be permitted along the west right-of-way because of the existing overhead electrical transmission line, 4) temporary drainage to be carried by grass lined channel without concrete invert or brick facing on headwalls, channel to be enclosed pipe system as individual lots are developed, and 5) no sidewalks shall be required for this development. APPLICANT: Santa Fe Pacific Realty Corporation Represented by Pat Acker of Albert Halff & Associates 5429 LBJ Freeway, Suite 600 Dallas, Texas 75240-2609 HISTORY: The preliminary plat for Gateway Business Park was approved by City Council on April 10, 1990. TRANSPORTATION: During the April 10, 1990, City Council meeting, Santa Fe Pacific Realty (applicant) requested approval of a thoroughfare amendment to the Master Plan. The first amendment was for the realignment of Cotton Road, and the elimination of Southwestern Boulevard extension. ITEM 7 Another amendment was to reduce the right-of-way along Beltline Road from 6-lane divided to a 4-lane divided roadway from Denton Tap to Freeport Parkway; and a 4-lane undivided roadway from Freeport to Royal Lane. City Council approved this request along with the condition that the entrances at Gateway Boulevard, as well as the intersection of Gateway and Royal include a divided median for at least 125 feet with the median being heavily landscaped. ANALYSIS: The applicant is requesting approval of a final plat and deviations from the Comprehensive Subdivision Ordinance as outlined below: 1) the landscaping of parkways shall be completed as the individual lots are developed, Staff Comment: No objections. 2) all applicable fees shall be paid by the lot owners as the individual lots are developed, Staff Comment: The main fees in question are the water and sewer availability fees. Since these fees are calculated on the square footage of a building, and yet we do not know the pad sizes at this time; therefore, waiver is in order. 3) although Freeport Parkway is a secondary image-zone, no trees will be permitted along the west right-of-way because of the existing overhead electrical transmission line, Staff Comment: Although this is a standard requirement by T.U. Electric, staff has had discussions with T.U. Electric representative regarding the substitution of trees underneath the transmission lines. Staff believes that because this area is along a secondary image-zone, small shrubs of limited height could be planted along this area which would add the appeal of attractive greenery versus no landscaping at all. 4) temporary drainage to be carried by grass lined channel without concrete invert or brick facing on headwalls, channel to be enclosed pipe system as individual lots are developed, Staff Comment: Due to unforeseen problems with temporary drainage channels, staff recommends that the applicant submit a hold-harmless and indemaity agreement which releases the City of Coppoll from any liability and indemnities from any problems resulting from damages in any way attributable to the channel. Additionally, the applicant must submit a separate certification, which indicates that the applicant has received permission to drain on to the adjoining property, further releasing the City from any liability. 5) no sidewalks shall be required for this development. Staff Comment: Staff is not supportive of a complete waiver of the deletion of sidewalks; however, we recommend that the sidewalks be constructed when: 1) the majority of the property owners association wants them , or 2) the Director of Public Works deems needed. ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the final plat and deviations from the Subdivision Ordinance as requested by the applicant. 2) Deny the final plat. ATTACHMENTS: 1) Final plat. G~BPSTF GINN, INC. CONSU JUN- 61990 MEMORANDUM Date: June 6, 1990 To: Taryon Bowman - City of Coppell From: John C. Karls~.ul%er, P.E.. - Ginn, Inc. Re: Gateway Business Park / v~. -,~-. As per our telephone discussion this morning, ! will reiterate the following points: 1. The 12- water line proposed by the developer in Cotton Road is not vital to the City's water system so there will be no partic.pa~_on required by the City in /ts cost. 2. The 16" water line proposed in Gateway Boulevard iS planned for in our latest update of the water system plan and therefore the city will have to contribute by paying the cost of the oversize beyond a 10" diameter water line in accordance with the Subdivision Ordinance as follows: A. Approximate length 2,660 L.F. B. City's contribution per Subdivision Ordinance - $7.00/L.F. C. City's approximate total contrIbution for 16" water line in Gateway Boulevard: 2,660 L.F. x $7.00/L.¥. = $18,6~0.00 The terms of the Subdivision Ordinance dictate that the City must make the contribution or partial reimbursement as funds become available.
