HISTORY:
On January 16, 1992, a request for PD-SF-7 on this same

redesign the project, and ask for more appropriate zoning.

ITEM 5
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows residential development at
medium and high densities.
ANALYSIS:
In January a PD request for single-family development
(PD-SF-7) containing 169 lots was submitted on this
property. Because the Planning Commission expressed
concern regarding the development plan, density, and narrow
lot widths of that proposal, the case was taken under
advisement until February 20. At the February Commission
meeting a revised plan containing 164 lots (of greater
width) was submitted. However, because of landscaping and
screening requirements of the Lakes of Coppell Homeowners
Association, the applicant requested that his request be
denied for resubmittal in March.
The plan before you now is a straight SF-7 request,
containing a total of 148 lots. Missing from the earlier
plan is the screening wall and landscaping along Village
Parkway, the fountain in the canal adjacent to MacArthur
Boulevard, the jogging path around the subdivision, and the
greenbelt and open space areas. The density has been
reduced, all lots require 25 foot front building lines
(the old plan allowed some 20 foot front yards), and the
over-all plan design is improved from the earlier
versions.
Because the density has been reduced by 21 lots from the
original proposal, because the development of this
subdivision now reflects a more compatible lot siting
(front entry along Village Parkway vs. the side and rear
exposure of the earlier plans), and because the original
jogging path and open space areas were of questionable
utility, staff would recommend approval of SF-7 zoning
which reflects, with minor revisions, the site plan design
shown on the attached zoning exhibit.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the zoning request
2) Deny the zoning request
3) Modify the zoning request
ATTACHMENTS: 1) Zoning Exhibit

Planning and Zoning Director, Gary Sieb made the presentation to
the Council. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends
approval with two conditions:
that the fence along Oakwood be improved by a
coordinated effort between the developer and the
Coppell Independent School District, to result in
brick pilasters with wrought-iron fencing, and
that there be a minimum of 1800 square foot house
size
The developer has agreed to above conditions at his own expense.
Mr. Wayman LaBelle, applicant, of 6161 Harry Hines, Dallas, Texas
made a presentation to the Council and asked Council to approve the
above requested zoning change. Discussion concerning Oakwood Lane
going all the way through to Village Parkway followed. The

be built on the City's property to the west of this property.
