HEARING DATE: CITY OF COPPELL PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT CASE ~: ZC-536 (LAKEWOOD ESTATES) March 19, 1992 April 14, 1992 LOCATION: Along the east side of MacArthur Boulevard, south of Parkway Boulevard, and along the east and west side Village Parkway. of SIZE OF AREA: 42.37 Acres, containing a total of 148 lots. REQUEST: Approval of a zoning change from (MF-2) Multi-Family-2, to (SF-7) Single-Family-7. APPLICANT: LOC Estates, Ltd. (Prospective Purchaser) Mr. Waymon Lavell c/o J.W.L. Investments 6161 Harry Hines Suite ~210 Dallas, TX 75234 (214) 630-6161 Unzicker, Schnurbusch & Assoc. (Engineer) Mr. Lynn Meyer 8700 Stemmons Freeway Suite #400 Dallas, TX 75247 (214) 634-3300 HISTORY: On January 16, 1992, a request for PD-SF-7 on this same parcel was taken under advisement until February 20, 1992. At the February 20 meeting, the Planning Commission recommended denial without prejudice so the applicant could redesign the project, and ask for more appropriate zoning. TRANSPORTATION: MacArthur Boulevard is a major (P6D) thoroughfare buil% standard: Village Parkway is a two-lane residential type street constructed in a 60 foot right-of-way. SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North - Vacant; PD-SF-7 South - plant & landscape nursery; R East - Vacant; SF-12 & City limit of Carrollton West - Vacant; TH-1 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 ZC5365TF 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 developer is aware that a second water storage tank will eventually be built on the City's property to the west of this property. Councilman Weaver moved to approve Item 18 as submitted with the two conditions recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Mayor Pro Tem Smothermon seconded the motion. The motion carried 6-0 with Mayor Pro Tem Smothermon and Councilmen Weaver, Thomas, Morton, Cowman and Robertson voting in favor of the motion. Item 19 Consider approval of a preliminary plat of Lakewood Estates, located along the east side of MacArthur Boulevard, south of Parkway Boulevard, and along the east and west side of Village Parkway, at the request of LOC Estates, Ltd.

Mayor Pro Tem Smothermon amended his motion to include Councilman Morton's suggestion.
