C. HEARING DATE: October 8, 1991 LOCATION: North of Beltline Road, and west of Mockingbird Lane. SIZE OF AREA: 0.64 Acres REQUEST: Approval of a replat. APPLICANT: Don Tipton, Inc. Mr. Pat Atkins 6330 Beltline Road Suite C Garland, Texas 75043 HISTORY: The final plat for Northlake Woodlands East #12, was approved by the City Council in 1990. ANALYSIS: The applicant is requesting approval to replat lots 6 & 7 into one lot.

By approving the replat of the two lots, a 6,000 square foot structure could conform to Coppell's standard development regulations. ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the replat 2) Deny the replat ATTACHMENTS: 1) Replat (24" X 36") NLWE126R.STF I T EM 12 on the property east of this development, and if this development meets city requirements concerning drainage.
