(Public hearing will determine if this plat will be forwarded to City Council) Along the west side of Heartz Road; approximately 215' south of Sandy Lake Road. Approximately lacre of property. CURRENT ZONING: SF-7 (Single Family-7) REQUEST: Minor Plat approval for two residential lots. APPLICANT: Beck-Smith Custom Homes 143 S. Moore Road Coppell, Texas 75019 (214) 914-2624 Fax: (972) 462-0925 Eng'r.G&AConsultants P.O. Box 1398 Lewisville, TX. (972) 317-9680 Fax: (972) 317-9681 HISTORY: There has been no development history on this parcel other than the recent demolition of the existing house. TRANSPORTATION: Heartz Road is a C2U, two-lane undivided street contained within a 60-65 foot r.o.w, and is built to standard. SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: North - South - East - West - single-family residence; SF-7 single-family residential; SF-7 church property; SF-12 single-family residential; SF-7 Item//5 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows this property suitable for single family residences. DISCUSSION: This is a straightforward case in that the applicant has purchased a tract of land never subdivided. He wishes to plat the property into two residential lots, and build houses on them. The surrounding zoning is SF-7, which would allow lots of 7,500 square feet. The lots proposed by the applicant each exceed 20,000 feet, so the proposal exceeds standards of development when compared to the surrounding area. In addition, the entire subdivision surrounding this parcel was developed without alleys, and attempting to place an alley behind this property is not practical. Therefore, we do not believe it is in the best interest of developing this property, to require alleys on only two lots. With minor changes to the plat document itself, staff is comfortable with this proposal. RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: Staff recommends approval of this minor plat with the following conditions: -add volume and page number to plat document -show right of way on Sandy Lake Road -abide by Leisure Service Department comments (attached) -no alley requirement Staff further advises the Planning Commission that because this plat has minor impact upon the overall development of Coppell, and its immediate neighborhood, and assuming the Commission has no objection, the Planning Director will sign off on the plat as allowed by State law. ALTERNATIVES: 1) Recommend approval of the request. 2) Recommend disapproval of the request 3) Modify the request. ATTACHMENTS: 1) Minor Plat Document 2) Departmental comments (Leisure Services) Item #5 05/11/00 10:46 CITY OF COPPELL % 972 304 ?092 NO.116 Q02 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE LEISURE SERVICES COMMENTS ITEM: ~ Additioa, Mtnor Pl~t DRC DATE: Al~127, 2000 CONTACT: Brad Reid, Park Planning and Land~cape Manager I I I I I COMMENT.
