Re:
Magnolia Park
Coppell, Texas
Dear Isabelle:
On behalf of our client Coppell 200 J.V., we are requesting the City Staff prepare the ordinance
required for adoption of PD 133 (approved by the City Council on Tuesday August 9, 1994).
We have modified the zoning exhibit to comply with the Letter of Conditions from Gary Sieb
dated August 10, 1994.
As Follows:
We have modified item 12-3,1 (A.) FRONT YARD - to provide for a 30' front yard for
(zoning area B) which is comparable to "SF 12" District and to provide for a 25' front
yard for (zoning area A) which is comparable to a "SF 9" District.
2. We have modified item 12-3, 2 (C.) LOT DEPTH - One hundred ten (110) feet.
3. Item 12-3, 4 LOT COVERAGE has been revised to thirty five (35 %).
Item 12-4 PARKING REGULATIONS have been revised to add Swing-entry garages for
front-entry lots.
Added Item 12-6 MAINTENANCE OF COMMON AREAS - The Homeowner's
Association will be responsible for maintaining common area.
Added Item 12-7 PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE - Foot bridge to cross Denton Creek, if the
foot bridge is not approved, work with City to provide additional access along Denton
Tap Road bridge as it is widened.

Item 12-3, 2 modified to read MINIMUM LOT SIZE.
12-3, 2 (B.) LOT WIDTH - Minimum seventy (70) feet and average seventy five (75
feet.
The preliminary plat was submitted with all information require for the detailed site plan.
Alleys on plat comply with alleys on zoning exhibit.
Lot 51 has been dropped on the preliminary plat and the zoning exhibit revised. We did
not stub an alley east but we will widen the lot adjacent to landscape Buffer.
We will work with the City in order that a grant can be pursued.
The developer will provide for the establishment of bermuda turf grass in the park site.
We would like to discuss modification of this item to read.., provide for bermuda seeding
in disturbed areas, also provide for native grasses and wild flowers in natural areas south
of the lakes.
We agree that landscape plans will show automated irrigation will be installed at or near
the proposed playground.
All playground specifications will be coordinated with the Parks and Recreation Division
and will be accessible to challenged individuals.
The developer will work with the City to provide additional access along the Denton Tap
Road Bridge as it is widened, should the pedestrian/bike bridge not be approved across
Denton Creek as proposed. We support the option of providing additional access along
the Denton Tap Road Bridge VS. building the pedestrian bridge. We think it will
provide a much better long range solution in that the pedestrian bridge built in the flood
plain across the creek will eventually be damaged by flooding and have to be replaced.
The Denton Tap Road Bridge will be built above the 100 year flood and will not face the
almost certain risk of being under water or obstruction flow as the pedestrian/bike bridge
will. We propose to dedicate funds to the Denton Tap Road Bridge in a comparable
amount required to construct the pedestrian bridge across Denton Creek.

to finalize the improvements to the proposed park site.
If you have any questions or additional clarification or discussion is needed please call.
