C. HEARING DATE: May 11, 1993 (Originally heard on March 15, 1993, and denied) LOCATION: Southwest comer of Parkway Boulevard and Heartz Road. SIZE OF AREA: 10 acres (approximately) REQUEST: Approval of a preliminary plat of the Heartz Road Elementary School. APPLICANT: Coppell ISD (Owner) Ayres & Associates (Engineer) Mr. Buddy Echols, Superintendent Mr. Robert Howman 200 Denton Tap Road 2110 Walnut Hill Lane Coppell, TX 75019 Suite//134 (214) 471-1111 Irving, TX (214) 570-5577 HISTORY: There has been no recent subdivision activity on the subject tract, although a new, single-family subdivision is being developed east of Heartz Road (Parks of Coppell) and north of Parkway Boulevard (Stonemeade Estates). This plat was originally heard by the Planning Commission on March 18, was denied at that time - hence, this resubmittal. TRANSPORTATION: Parkway Boulevard is an improved C4D, four lane divided thoroughfare in a 90-110' right-of-way. Heartz Road is an improved C2U, two lane undivided road contained within a 60' right-of-way. ITEM 6 SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North - vacant; TC South - library site; TC East - developing single-family residential; SF-7 West - vacant & City Hall; TC COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows town center uses as most appropriate and schools (public buildings) are allowed by right. ANALYSIS: The attached plat and accompanying documentation illustrate the development proposal for the Heartz Road school site. Because this is a preliminary plat, staff was primarily concerned with siting of the school, setbacks, traffic flow, parking and the way this development fits into the overall Town Center Plan. For the most part, this proposal meets all our basic requirements - drainage issues will be addressed at final, the traffic analysis is being reviewed, and the School District has agreed to reserve a 42' wide strip on the west side of the Library site for additional Library parking. The major issue to be resolved is whether the ring road concept is still viable, given the massive changes to Town Center land use since the original plan was submitted. Staff will be prepared to discuss all these issues at the public hearing, and currently sees no major reasons for not supporting the preliminary plat. ADDENDA: This plat was denied by the Planning Commission on March 18 for several reasons, including lack of advance Traffic Study (report is included here), the uncertainty of the ring road concept (City Council indicated a desire to retain the ring road on March 23), absence of dedication for the ring road (now shown as 30 feet on this plat), and a question regarding the number of parking spaces (which will be discussed at the April 15 meeting). Because those concerns have been addressed, staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat. ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the preliminary plat 2) Deny the preliminary plat 3) Modify the preliminary plat ATrACHMENTS: 1) Preliminary Plat 2) Site Plan 3) Landscape Plan 4) Traffic Study hrtz.sff TRAFFIC STUDY Coppell Elementary School No. 7 Coppell, Texas Prepared For: Ayers Associates Prepared by: G.T. (Tom) Ualton, P.E. Consulting Traffic Engineer February 1993 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The plan for the Coppell Elementary School No. 7 is being con- sidered for appproval by the City of Coppell Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council. The plan will be considered in March and April of 1993. A traffic study of the plan and its effects on the area is required. The details of the study are given in the following pages. The traffic study includes a review of the proposed site plan for the school, a review of the local traffic situation, an analysis of the impact the new school will have on local traffic, analysis of the need for new traffic signals at the two intersections most effected by the school, consideration of pedestrian traffic circulation to and from the school and recommendations of steps that might be taken to enhance the smooth operation of both pedestrian and vehicular traffic around the school. The results of the study may be summarized as follows: The proposed plan will provide safe and efficient access and circulation of both pedestrian and ve- hicular traffic around the site. The school will not significantly impact the traffic flow on either roadways or intersections in the area. School bus and staff traffic and parent and visitor traffic should be encouraged to approach and leave the school from opposite directions on Heartz Road to the extent possible. Pedestrian access to the school would be enhanced by the establishment of designated crossings of Heartz Road and Parkway Boulevard protected by a reduced speed limit school zone. The school will not create the need for traffic sig- -nals at either the Heartz/Sandy Lake intersection or the Heartz/Parkway intersection. e Traffic circulation on Heartz Road in front of the school would be enhanced by the establishment of a parking restriction on the east side. of Heartz Road. The study does not indicate any significant traffic problems associated with the development of the new school. TABLE OF CONTENTS II. III . IV. V. VI. Site Plan Review Existing Area Traffic Situation Traffic Impact on Existing Roads Pedestrian Access to School Signal Warrant Investigation Conclusions and Recommendations APPENDIX Pg. 1 Pg. 2 Pg. 4 Pg. 8 Pg. 9 Pg. 10 SITE PLAN REVIEW The location of the site for the new school requires that all access be off of Heartz Road. This 45' B-B roadway is wide enough to operate with two moving lanes of traffic in each direction. The site is served by three driveways off of Heartz Road. The northern most driveway is 30' wide with 20' radii and is the designated access way for school buses and the school staff. The bus circulation aisle is 30' wide and encircles a staff parking area. The staff parking area is separated from the bus lane and provides 64 90° parking spaces, including two handicapped accessible spaces. Pedestrian walkways are provided in the staff parking area. A pedestrian walkway is provided in the southern portion of the staff/bus access area so that students can leave the buses and proceed directly into the school. The middle driveway, which is the entrance to the parent/visitor area, is separated from the staff/bus entrance by 95'. The parent/visitor access is to operate one-way in a counter clockwise direction with flow established by the use of "one way" and "do not enter" signs at the two driveways. Both drives for the parent/visitor area are 24' wide and are separated from each other by over 410'. The southern most driveway is 43' from the sourthern property line for the school along Heartz Road. The parent/visitor area includes a parking area which is separated from the one-way circu- lation aisle. 30 90° parking spaces are provided, including three handicapped accessible spaces. The aisle is a constant 24' wide and provides adequate space for a drop-off and pick-up lane on the right and a by-pass lane on the left. A continuous sidewalk is provided along the west side of the circulation aisle so that students can be safely dropped off or picked up at any point in all types of weather. A pedestrian walkway is also provided in the parking area. Firelight %Say is the only drive or street that inter- sects Heartz Road opposite the school. It intersects the road north of the southern driveway at the parent/ visitor area. Therefore, there will be no traffic proceeding directly across Heartz Road. Bus and staff traffic can access the site from the north to make a right turn into the drive. They can avoid conflict with most of the parent/visitor traffic by turning left or north upon exiting and returning to Parkway Boulevard. The parent/visitor traffic can en- ter the site from the north by making a right turn into the entrance driveway. Upon exiting, they can either make a left turn to Parkway Boulevard or turn right and go to Sandy Lake Road or other points south. Parents -1- Parents or visitors approaching from the south can make a left turn into the entrance drive and a right turn to return. To approach the site from the west, traffic would pro- ceed east on either Parkway Boulevard or Sandy Lake Road. From Parkway Boulevard, a right turn onto Heartz Road is required. From Sandy Lake Road, a left turn would be made onto Heartz. From the north, access would be by way of Parkway Boulevard with a right or left onto Heartz Road. Return would require a left turn from the exit and a right or left at Parkway. From the east, traffic would proceed west on either Parkway Boulevard or Sandy Lake Road. From Parkway, a left turn would be made onto Heartz Road. From Sandy Lake Road, a right turn at Heartz would bring the parent or visitor to the school. From the south, access would be from Sandy Lake Road with a right or left turn onto Heartz Road. Return would take a right turn from the school exit and a right or left turn onto Sandy Lake. Since this school is planned to serve the area north of Sandy Lake Road and east of Denton Tap Road, most of the parent/visitor traffic can be expected to approach from the east on either Parkway Boulevard or Sandy Lake Road. II. EXISTING AREA TRAFFIC SITUATION The location of the new elementary school is in the north central part of the city of Coppell. The area to the north is planned to be residential up to the Denton Creek flood plain. Residential subdivisions are now under construction directly across Heartz Road from the site, along the south side of Parkway east of Heartz Road and also on the north side of Parkway Boulevard east of Denton Tap. Immediately to the north of the site is a day care center site which extends up to the Parkway intersection. To the north and west and con- tiguous to the site is the City of Coppell City Hall. To the west is currently undeveloped land which is planned to be part of a "Town Center" development, which extends west to Denton Tap Road and extends from Sandy Lake Road to Parkway Boulevard. Immediately to the south is a library site and further south a residential subdivision under construction. The resi- dential subdivisions and the library can be expected to be in place when the school opens. ae Existing Roadways The significant roadways serving the site are Heartz Road, Parkway Boulevard, Sandy Lake Road and Denton -2- Tap Road. Heartz Road - This 60' Row, 45' B-B reinforced concrete roadway is a two lane, undivided col- lector street according to the City of Coppell ~ajor Thoroughfare plan given in the Roadway Functional Classifications and Design Standards for the City of Coppell. It has a "T" intersec- tion with Parkway Boulevard on the north and extends south across Sandy Lake Road to a "T" intersection at its southern end at Bethel School Road. Parkway Boulevard - This 90' Row, four lane divided roadway is a minor arterial according to the City of Coppell Major Thoroughfare Plan. It is the northern most through roadway in the City of Coppell. It now extends from a "T" intersection with MacArthur Boulevard on the east through its intersection with Denton Tap Road. In the future, it will be extended across SH 121, which will be the northwestern boundary of Coppell. Parkway is now a divided road from Denton Tap to west of Moore Road and four lane undivided from there to MacArthur. With the exception of the City Hall and Town Center sites, Parkway Boulevard has residential de- velopment along its entire length east of Denton Tap. Sandy Lake Road - This two lane, undivided asphalt roadway is designated as a four lane divided minor arterial in a six lane Row. It is one of the two east-west arterials connecting the City of Coppell to IH 35E and Carrollton to the east,-and SH 121 and Tarrant County to the west. Sandy Lake Road has not been improved to its planned reinforced concrete structure along any of its length. In the immediate area of its intersection with Heartz Road, Sandy Lake Road is mostly bordered by residential develop- ment. To the east at its signalized intersection with Moore Road, there is a strip retail center on the southeast co~ner. To the west, its intersection with Denton Tap is controlled by a major traffic signal. The Sandy Lake Road/ Denton Tap intersection is bordered on the southeast, southwest and northwest corners by retail centers. On the northeast corner is part of the future Coppell Town Center develop- ment. Plans for the improvement of Sandy Lake Road to its design standard are at present indefinite. -3- III · Denton Tap Road - This 110' Row six lane divided, reinforced concrete roadway is designated as a major arterial in the City of Coppell Major Thoroughfare Plan. It is the major north-south roadway in the City of Coppell and connects with SH 121 and Lewisville on the north and with IH 635 and Irving on the south. North of Sandy Lake Road there is little development of the land along either side of Denton Tap. From Sandy Lake south there is a significant commer- cial and residential development along both sides of Denton Tap. B. Existing Traffic Control The existing traffic control in the area of the new school site consists largely of stop signs and traffic signals. Stop signs - The intersection of Parkway Boule- vard and Heartz Road is controlled by a stop sign on Heartz Road. The intersection of Sandy Lake Road and Heartz Road is controlled by stop signs on Heartz Road north and south of Sandy Lake Road. Along Heartz Road, the several intersecting residential street intersections are controlled by stop signs on the residential streets. Traffic signals - The intersections of Denton Tap and Parkway, as well as Denton Tap and Sandy Lake Road, are controlled by traffic responsive, multi-phase traffic signals. The signals operate independent of each other. Both signals are equipped with vehicle detection equipment and provide separate and protected phases for left turn movements from all direc- tions. Due to the distance of these signals from the site and the very small expected effect of school on traffic to the west, analysis of the operation of these two existing signals will not be done as part of this study. A study of the possible need for a signal caused by the school traffic at the intersections of Heartz/ Parkway and Heartz/Sandy Lake will be included later in the analysis. TRAFFIC IMPACT ON EXISTING ROADS In order to evaluate the effect that the traffi~ gene- rated by the new elementary school will have on the surrounding area, a Traffic Impact Analysis was comp- leted. The methodology of the analysis involves an -4- evaluation of the level of service or level of conges- tion on the surrounding roadways under existing condi- tions, and then a similar evaluation with the traffic generated by the school added 'to the system. The expected change in congestion determines the traffic impact of the new school. ae Roadway Capacity - The amount of traffic that a roadway is designed to carry is a function of whether it is one-way or two-way, how many lanes it has in each direction, if it is divided or undivided, how many driveways are on it, the spacing and traffic control of intersections and the type of area it serves. The roadways effected by the new school are Parkway, Heartz, and Sandy Lake Road. The capacities used in this analysis are 41,600 trips per day for Parkway Boulevard, a 4-lane, divided minor arterial; 16,600 trips per day for Heartz Road, a 2-lane, undivided with parking permitted on both sides; and 18,000 trips per day for Sandy Lake Road, a 2-lane, undivided major thoroughfare. Roadway Level of Service - In order to determine how effectively the roadway system is carrying traffic, a measure referred to as the Level of Service has been developed. Level of Service is used to indicate the effectiveness of operation of both intersections and roadway links. For roadway link analysis, the Level of Service is a direct ratio of the link's daily traffic volume to its capacity (v/c). Definitions of the various Levels of Service for roadway links are given in the following table. -5- DEFINITIONS OF LEVELS OF SERVICE FOR ROADWAY SEGMENTS Level of Service V/C Ratio Ranges Description A < 0.35 Free flow; low volumes, high speed. B 0.35-0.49 Stable flow; operating speeds beginning be restricted. C 0.50-0.79 Stable flow; speeds and maneuverability controlled by higher volumes. D 0.80-0.89 Approaching unstable flow with only tolerable operating speeds maintained. E 0.90-1.00 Unstable flow; low operating speeds with momentary stoppages. F > 1.00 Forced flow operation; low speeds with frequent stoppages for short or long periods of time. The traffic volumes to be used in the Level of Service investigation should be those that will be present when the school opens. A 24-hour, two directional machine traffic volume count was conducted on Parkwood Boulevard both east and west of Heartz, Sandy Lake Road east and west of Heartz Road, and on Heartz Road between Sandy Lake Road and Parkway Boulevard. The result of count is fixed in the Appendix. The traffic volumes used will be a combination of the 24-hour count and the traffic generated by the surrounding new developments. At the present time, there are several vacant tracts of land which can be expected to be developed by the time the new school opens and its traffic is present. To the south is the 28,000 square foot library site which will generate 1,274 trips per day and further, a residential subdivision called Chaucer Estates with 58 lots generating 580 trips per day. Across Heartz and extending to Parkway Boulevard is a potion of the Parks of Coppell with 77 lots generating 770 trips per day. To the north on the north side of Parkway eytruding from Denton Tap east is the Stonemead residential de- velopment with 89 lots generating 890 trips per day. In order to determine the LOS at the time of the opening of the school and using a worst case scenario, all of the library and Chaucer Estates traffic will be imposed on Heartz Road. In addition, 2/3 of the Parks of Coppell traffic will be imposed on Heartz and 1/3 on Parkway. All of the Stonemead traffic will be imposed on Parkway Boulevard. A projection of the Average Daily Traffic (ADT) volumes on the several roadway links being considered is given in the following table. -6- Parkway E Heartz Sandy Lake E ROADWAY LINK VOLUMES (Trips/Day) Count Library Chaucer Parks Stonemead Total 4420 274 4674 4531 890 5421 872 1274 580 516 3642 12,224 12,224 12,587 12,587 E = east of Heart Rd. W = West of Heartz Rd. Using the capacity volumes given above for the various roadways and the traffic volumes given above at school opening, the Level of Service for Parkway Boulevard, indicated by its v/c ratio, is 4674/ 41,600 = .112, or LOS of A, east Of Heartz. Uest of Heartz, it is 5421/41,600 = .304~ also LOS of A. These calculations are using an average daily traffic volume. The Level of Service for Sandy Lake Road is 12,224/18,000 = .679, or LOS of C, west of Heartz. East of Heartz, it is 12,587/18,000 =.699, also LOS of C. The Level of Service on Heartz between Sandy Lake and Parkway Boulevard is 3242/16,600 = .195 or LOS of A. The small amount of traffic that the new school will generate will not significantly effect the Level of Service of any of the surrounding roadways. Site Traffic Generation - The amount of traffic that can be expected to be' generated by the proposed elementary school is calculated using generation rates from the September 1987 edition of "Trip Generation", published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers. Based on the expected student population of 600, the daily trip generation will be 654 trips per day. During the a.m. peak traffic hour, the generation will be 180 trips. The distribution of trips inbound vs. outbound from the site is 60° inbound vs. 40% outbound. Therefore, the school will generate 108 inbound trips and 72 outbound trips during the a.m. peak hour. -7- IV. Since most of the service area of the new school is to the north of Sandy Lake and east of Denton Tap, most of the student traffic can be expected to ap- proach from the east, either on Parkway or Sandy Lake Road. The peak hour inbound and outbound traffic percentage assumptions at Parkway and Heartz and at Heartz and Sandy Lake are shown in the fol- lowing maps. Uhen leaving the school in the a.m. peak, 75% or more of the traffic can be expected to continue to a work destination. Of that work-bound traffic, 40% will travel south toward Los Colinas/ DF%;, 30% north toward TI/Lewisville, and 30% east on Sandy Lake toward IH 35/Dallas-Carrollton. PEDESTRIAN ACCESS TO SCHOOL Due to the close proximity of the school site to a number of single family residential developments, a significant amount of pedestrian activity can be anti- cipated during good weather. The City of Coppell re- quires that sidewalks be built along all roadways in the city. Sidewalks can therefore be expected to be in place along both sides of Parkway Boulevard east of Heartz and along the north side west of Heartz. Walks will be provided along the school frontage, the library and Chaucer Estates on the west side of Heartz Road and along the entire east side of Heartz Road. In addition, walks will be provided along the frontage of the day care center proposed to the north of the school when that facility is built. The majority of the pedestrian traffic can be expected to approach the school from the east and will therefore have to cross Heartz road. The safest crossing arrange- ment is to provide a designated crossing location with some sort of traffic control. Pedestrians approaching from the north and east along Parkway can cross at the Parkway/Heartz intersection where the stop sign on Heartz Road will provide gaps in traffic. A large amount of pedestrians will approach from the south or directly across from the school. A designated and protected crossing at Heartz Road immediately in front of the school would be desirable. The establishment of a reduced speed school zone with pedestrian protection along Heartz Road and including the Parkway/Heartz intersection is indicated. -8- INP, fiUtID SITE TI~^FFI£ % / Peak tlr.

SIGNAL WARRANT INVESTIGATION A study was done at two intersections in the immediate area of the new school to determine if the traffic generated by the school could be expected to create the need to install traffic signal control. The two inter- sections studied are Parkway Boulevard at Heartz Road and Sandy Lake Road at Heartz Road. The methodology of the study was to do a signal warrant study of each intersection in conformance with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices published by the U.S. Department of Transportation using existing conditions to dutermine whether the traffic generated by the new school will cause a warrant to be met. A manual traffic count was done at each of the intersections during both the a.m. and p.m. peak three hour periods on Wednesday, 17 February 1993, and Thursday, 18 February 1993. The results of the counts are included in the Appendix. In order for a traffic signal to be installed, it must satisfy at least one of the signal warrants. The warrants are listed below: %~arrant # Title Minimum Vehicular Volume Interruption of Continuous Flow Minimum Pedestrian Volume School Crossings 5 Progressive Movement Accident Experience 7 Systems 8 Combination of %;arrants -9 Four Hour Volumes 10 Peak Hour Delay 11 Peak Hour Volume Considering the low traffic volume on the roadways under study, the only warrant having any possiblity of satisfaction is #11, the "Peak Hour Volume" warrant. In the case of the Parkway/Heartz intersection, it was considered to have two lanes per approach on the major street (Parkway Boulevard) and one lane per approach on the minor street (Heartz Road) and studied using urban -9- VI. criteria. The traffic volumes were such that less than 25% of the criteria were met using the existing condi- tions, and considering the a.m. peak hour traffic generated by the school, it will not raise the volumes on either Parkway or Heartz to a level to meet the criteria. In the case of the Heartz Road and Sandy Lake Road intersection, it was considered to have one lane per approach on both Sandy Lake and Heartz, and the urban criteria was used. The traffic volume on Sandy Lake Road is significant for a one lane roadway, but once again, the volume on Heartz Road from the north is less than 25% of that needed to justify a signal. The traffic generated by the school during the a.m. peak hour will only raise the approach volumes to just less than 50% of the required levels to justify a signal. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the investigations reported above, a number of conclusions can be reached. In addition, several recom- mendations are indicated. A. Conclusions The site plan for the school is well designed to separate the parent/visitor traffic from the bus/staff traffic. The one-way circulation in the parent/visitor area, sidewalks and wide aisle are well designed to facilitate safe right side drop-off and pick- up and smooth left side bypass. The one-way operation in the parent/visitor area limits in-bound left turns to a point well separated from the exiting traffic. The width of Heartz Road (2 lanes/direction) will allow bypass of vehicles waiting to turn left if parking is controlled. e The 654 trips per day generated by the site will have little effect on the Level of Service of the roadways serving the site. The site will create pedestrian traffic which can be safely handled by the sidewalks required by the city if a protected crossing can be pro- vided across Heartz Road from the east. The traffic generate by the site will not create the need for traffic signals at either the Park- way/Heartz or the Heartz/Sandy Lake intersection. -10- B. Recommendations School buses and staff should be encouraged to approach the site from the north and leave to the north to avoid a conflict with parents and visitors. Parents and visitors leaving the school should be encouraged to go south on Heartz as much as practical to avoid the school conflict area. e A reduced speed limit school zone with protected and designated pedestrian crossings across Heartz to the east in front of the school and across Parkway should be pursued. The zone should begin on Heartz south of the school and include the Heartz/Parkway intersection. A parking ban along the east side of Heartz Road from Firelight %Say northward to cover the area of the two entrances to the school parking areas should be pursued so that space will be available to pass those waiting to make a left turn into the school. -11- 6.

Please see Item 16A-E for minutes. Consider approval of a preliminary plat of Heartz Road Elementary School, located at the southwest comer of Parkway Boulevard and Heartz Road, at the request of Coppell I.S.D. Gary Sieb, Director of Planning and Community Services, made a presentation to the Council. Robert Howman with Ayres & Associates, 2110 Walnut Hill Lane, representing the Applicant, addressed the Council concerning a traffic study. Discussion was had concerning parking and underground utility lines. Councilman Reitman moved to approve the preliminary plat of Heartz Road Elementary School, located at the southwest comer of Parkway Boulevard and Heartz Road with the provision that there be an access easement from the busdrop area to the ring road. Councilman Weaver seconded the motion; the motion carried 6-0 with Councilmen Weaver, Thomas, Reitman, Mayo, Robertson and Garrison voting in favor of the motion. Consider approval of a preliminary plat of Creekview Addition, Phase II, located at the northeast and southeast comer of Denton Tap Road and Bethel Road, at the request of William G. Thompson. Gary Sieb, Director of Planning and Community Services, made a presentation to the Council. Greg Gremoules, 709 Villawood Lane, Applicant addressed the Council. Dr. Gremoules stated that he proposes to build a free-standing clinic for his practice with room for future expansion. Gary Sieb then explained and defined the conditions approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission as recommended to the Council. Following discussion, Councilman Robertson moved to approve the preliminary plat of Creekrview Addition, Phase II, located at the northeast and southeast comer of Denton Tap Road and Bethel Road subject to the following provisions: 1) the proposed sanitary sewer connection is shown to be connected to the existing manhole against the flow in the existing sewer line. It should be designed so that it flows north and ties into the existing 8" sewer line on the north side of Bethel Road or 2 manholes should be installed so that the sewer line can be connected to the existing sewer line with the direction of flow; 2) the proposed 8" water line should be extended to the south side of Lot 3, Block B if Lot 3 is final platted at the same time as Lots 1 and 2. If it is the intent to subdivide LOt 3 in the future, then the proposed stub-out line should be 8" not 6"; 3) all assessments due for Denton Tap Road should be paid; 4) the note from our Floodplain Ordinance should be added to the face of the plat; 5) shared access easement should be provided for Lots 1, 2 and 3, Block B off of Denton Tap Road; 6) the plat should be corrected to reflect this document is a preliminary plat; 7) an access easement to Bethel Road on the east side of LOt 2, Block B, should be provided; 8) that a tree survey be submitted before the Final Plat is approved, to preserve as many trees as possible, and the access easement and sewer line be shown on the plat. Councilman Mayo seconded the motion; the motion carried 4-2 with Councilmen Weaver, Reitman, Mayo and Robertson voting in favor of the motion. Councilmen Thomas and Garrison voted against the motion. Consider approval of a preliminary plat of Austin Place Addition, located approximately 250' north of Sandy Lake Road, along the east side of Moore Road, at the request of Ms. Barbara Austin.
