Construction and Maintenance.

If payment is not promptly made upon demand for payment, the complaining party may seek whatever damages or relief is available at law or in equity, other than a forfeiture of this easement. 3. Indemnity With respect to the mutual easements granted herein, the various owners of the parcels of the Property hereby agree to indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any damages, claims, costs or expenses arising out of and in any way relating to any action or inaction of the indemnifying party, or its agents, employees, invitees, contractors or licensees over and across the parcels of the Property of other owners of same. 4.

[[SEAL]] Notary Public in and for the State of Typed or Printed Name: CASE: CITY OF COPPELL PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT MacARTHUR PLAZA, PRELIMINARY PLAT P & Z HEARING DATE: April 18, 1996 C.C. HEARING DATE: May 14, 1996 LOCATION: West side of MacArthur Boulevard, adjacent to the TP&L transmission line SIZE OF AREA: Total site area: 6.907 Total pad sites: 4 plus common area CURRENT ZONING: C (Commercial) REQUEST: Approval of preliminary plat APPLICANT: Owner: CED Construction, Inc. 8445 Freeport Pkwy, Ste. 650 Irving, TX 75063 (214) 929-7127 Engineer: Nathan D. Maier Consulting Engineers, Inc. 8800 N. Central Expressway, Ste. 300 Dallas, TX 75231 (214) 739-4741 HISTORY: In 1994 the City reclassified the zoning of this property from "MF-2" Multi- Family Residential to "O" Office. A lawsuit resulted. In connection with a settlement agreement not yet approved by the court, the City changed the zoning to "C" Commercial in late 1995. Recently the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended reclassification of Lot 5 to a Planned Development District for a self-storage facility. There has been no previous platting activity. On February 15, 1996, the Planning and Zoning Commission disapproved the preliminary plat of MacArthur Plaza and hem the public hearing open on the three associated Special Use Permit requests for the purpose of receiving coordinated submissions on all four sites within the proposed subdivision. TRANSPORTATION: MacArthur Boulevard is a four-lane divided thoroughfare built in Item # 9 a ll0'-wide right-of-way shown on the thoroughfare plan as a P6D, 6-lane divided thoroughfare. SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: Northwest - TU Electric transmission line r.o.w.; "A" Agricultural South- Vacant; "C" Commercial East - Jefferson at Riverchase Apartments; "MF-2" Multi-Family COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The 1987 Comprehensive Plan shows Office. The proposed 1996 Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for regional retail uses. DISCUSSION: This property is subject to a declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions for Riverchase. The document stipulates that: signs identifying commercial buildings shall be permitted if approved as to size, composition, design, illumination and location by the Architectural Review Committee; a plan showing the location and screening of all exterior utility meters, transformers and other exterior mechanical equipment must be approved by the Architectural Review Committee with no roof mounted mechanical equipment permitted unless properly screened and approved by the Architectural Review Committee; a landscaping plan approved by the Architectural Review Committee will be required; the Architectural Review Committee shall promulgate specific Design Guidelines governing the composition and location of screening walls, fences and hedges; exterior building materials and colors shall conform to the Design Guidelines and be approved by the Architectural Review Committee; and parking shall be located at the sides or rear of buildings. However, where appropriate, parking may be allowed in front of the buildings if setback and landscaping provisions are acceptable to the Architectural Review Committee. In addition, the applicant has submitted proposed property covenants requiring approval by Dallas Area Affordable Partners IV, L.P., of Item # 9 exterior design and signs. These are important because Lot 4 of the proposed plat obtains its access to MacArthur Boulevard via easement across Lots 3 and 5, and Lots 3 and 5 obtain supplementary access across Lot 4. Consequently there needs to be a mechanism to insure that the owners of all three lots properly maintain the pavement. In addition, LOt 2 is proposed to be a landscaped common area, requiring a mechanism to insure that the property will not deteriorate or be converted to other purposes. Staff is of the opinion that four commercial property owners, or four future commercial property owners, may have insufficient interest to insure the proper maintenance of the proposed common area, and could decide too easily to dispense with the landscaping in favor of a low- maintenance surface such as pavement. A broader-based owner association will be more likely to prevent that occurrence. RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat, subject to engineering comments, and subject to the following additional condition: That Lot 2 be conveyed to Riverchase Owners Association, Inc. (charter number 01236966-01) for purpose of perpetual maintenance under the terms of the Amended and Restated Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Riverchase recorded in Volume 92181, at Pages 3258 through 3359, of the Deed Records of Dallas County, Texas. ALTERNATIVES: 1) Recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat 2) Recommend disapproval of the Preliminary Plat 3) Recommend modification of the Preliminary Plat ATTACHMENTS: 1) Preliminary Plat 2) Site Plan 3) Landscape Plan 4) Irrigation Plan 5) Departmental Comments Item # 9
