Conditions for approval:
(1) Provide a restriction or clarification regarding the fencing of the
rear line of Lot 7, Block B;
(2) provide building lines with 15' setbacks on standard corner lots,
however, where staff deems lots to be key lots, double-front setbacks
will be required;
(3) an alley along the north side of Lot 47, Block E, needs to be
provided;
(4) a park plan needs to be provided with the Final Plat;
(5) work with staff regarding the access to the property to the west
regarding time line and use, and
(6) observe the following Engineering comments:
· Consideration of additional access from the alley to the street
between Lots 19 & 41, Block E.
· Provision of a metes and bounds description of all common areas
on the final plat.
· As per the Subdivision Ordinance, the minimum street right-of-way
for a residential street is 50 feet· Therefore, a variance
should be requested to the Subdivision Ordinance on the face of
the plat.
· The location of the entrance roadway into the development is
shown to be in the floodplain. This needs to be addressed
through either a flood study to remove it from the floodplain or
by filling the roadway area and removing an equal amount of fill
from the site· Any improvements placed in the floodplain of the
proposed park land will require a flood study. Contact the
Engineering Department concerning this issue and about the
configuration·
· There is a concern regarding the ingress and egress to this
development which may require some or all of the following items:
acceleration lane; deceleration lane; widening of Denton Tap Road
to provide a left turn lane into the development; and a traffic
signal. The acceleration and deceleration lane will require the
dedication of an additional twelve (12) feet of right-of-way
along Denton Tap Road·
· The installation of the sewer system needs to be coordinated with
Centex, formerly vista Properties, in regards to the location of
the sewer line proposed to go through this development·
· The proposed water and sewer lines extended to the west property
line between lots 7 & 8, Block E should be sized to adequately
handle the off-site area and have a minimum of 9 feet separation.
· Please contact the Engineering Department regarding the radius
proposed for the sanitary sewer lines.

PD-133, formerly known as "Coppell 200 South Addition" was approved
by Coppell City Council on August 9, 1994. There has been no previous
platting history.
TRANSPORTATION:
Denton Tap Road is a P6D, six lane divided (120 foot r.o.w.);
currently a two lane roadway; the 121 Bypass will be built to
Freeway standards with access roads in 450 feet of r.o.w.

Item # 9
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Plan indicates open space and mixed use with
commercial development as most appropriate here.
DISCUSSION:
The landscape plans show a decorative fence along the rear line of
Lot 7, Block B. The fence consists of 7'-high brick columns and
6'-high wrought iron. Unless a provision on the plat or in the
deed restrictions prevents it, the purchaser of that lot will be able
to build an 8'-high board-on-board fence immediately adjacent to
the developer's fence and totally destroy its visual impact.
Section 32 of the zoning ordinance stipulates that, on comer lots,
the front yard setback shall be observed along the frontage of both
intersecting streets, and that both street exposures shall be treated
as front yards, except where one street exposure is designated as
a side yard by a building line shown on a plat approved by the
Planning and Zoning Commission. There is no apparent limit to
the height of the side yard fence; however, the proposed deed
restrictions prohibit fences beyond a platted building line. PD-133
authorizes a 15' side yard adjacent to a side street, but there are
no true side streets within the subdivision. All streets have houses
fronting them.
Along the alley between Lots 8 and 41 of Block E, there are a
total of 18 lots. The alley length is about 2250 feet. Providing an
alley entrance along the north side of Lot 47 would accomplish
three things. It would shorten the alley length by 400 feet, it
would provide an additional buffer between Lot 47 and future
Highway 121, and it would satisfy a condition of the PD. Also,
Lot 21 of Block A has insufficient lot depth.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat with the
following conditions:
Provide a restriction regarding the fencing of the rear line
of Lot 7, Block B.
Reduce the widths of interior lots sufficiently to provide
comer lots with a minimum width of 97 feet in Block B,
and a minimum width of 87 feet in Block A, for Lot 12 of
Block C, and for Lot 41 of Block E.
Provide building lines with equal setbacks on both street
frontages of comer lots, since most of the comer lots are
sufficiently oversized.
4. Provide an alley along the north side of Lot 47, Block E.
Item # 9
Reconfigure Lot 21 of Block A to provide a lot depth of
110 feet measured from the center of the front lot line to
the center of the rear lot line.
Recognize and adhere to the park improvement agreements
initially granted to Lincoln Properties and later adopted by
Magnolia and finally agreed to by Ron Fraze (copy
attached).
Observe the following Engineering Comments:
a. You need to consider additional access from the alley
to the street between Lots 19 & 41, Block E.
b. You should provide a metes and bounds description of
all common areas on the final plat.
c. As per the Subdivision Ordinance, the minimum street
right-of-way for a residential street is 50 feet. Therefore,
you should request a variance to the Subdivision Ordinance
on the face of the plat.
d. The location of the entrance roadway into the
development is shown to be in the floodplain. This needs
to be addressed through either a flood study to remove it
from the floodplain or by filling the roadway area and
removing an equal amount of f'fll from the site. Any
improvements placed in the floodplain of the proposed park
land will require a flood study. Contact the Engineering
Department concerning this issue and about the
configuration.
e. There is a concern regarding the ingress and egress to
this development which may require some or all of the
following items: acceleration lane; deceleration lane;
widening of Denton Tap Road to provide a left turn lane
into the development; and a traffic signal. The acceleration
and deceleration lane will require the dedication of an
additional twelve (12) feet of right-of-way along Denton
Tap Road.
f. The installation of the sewer system needs to be
coordinated with Centex, formerly Vista Properties, in
regards to the location of the sewer line proposed to go
through this development.
g. The proposed water and sewer lines extended to the
west property line between lots 7 & 8, Block E should be
sized to adequately handle the off-site area and have a
minimum of 9 feet separation.
h. Please contact the Engineering Department regarding
the radius proposed for the sanitary sewer lines.
