RE: PARK PLACE - PRELIMINARY PLAT
LOCATION:
Near the northeast corner of Sandy Lake Road and Reartz
Road.
APPLICANT:
Univest Development Company

Dallas, Texas 75211
SUMMARY:
STAFF
INFORMATION:
Applicant is again requesting approval of a preliminary
plat.
On October 19, 1989, the Planning and Zoning Commission
unanimously denied this plat without prejudice. In
reviewing the tape of this meeting, the Commissioner's
concerns focused on four major issues. Those were:
1)
2)
3)
4)
Access to abutting property north and east of this
tract;
The compatibility of this plat with adjacent potential
development;
The density question; and
Variances requested and significance of same.
In staff's opinion, because this proposal is residential in
nature, (TC) zoning permits residential uses, and a
sensitive development proposal preservin§ the natural
amenities is possible with this plat, this development plan
can be compatible with adjacent future development.
In an attempt to satisfy the concerns of the Planning and
Zoning Commission, the applicant has re-submitted a revised
plat which addresses the issues discussed at the November
16, 1989 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting - access
and compatibility. Density concerns remain as originally
submitted. (The previous plat indicated a total of 90
lots; the revised plan shows 89.
In summary, the major issues discussed by the Planning and
Zoning Commission are favorably reflected by this plat.
ALTERNAT IVES:
l)
2)
Approve the preliminary plat as submitted.
Deny the preliminary plat.

Russell R. Doyl~ty Engineer
Park Place Addi~ion, Preliminary Plat
It is our understanding that the above referenced plat is placed
on the upcoming City Council agenda on December 12, 1989. The
Public Works' staff has reviewed the plat and would like to request
the following revision to the subject preliminary plat:
That the northern end of the most easterly alley on this plat
be connected to Allen Crest Lane between Lots One (1) and Two
(2).
We believe that such a change will enhance traffic safety as
opposed to having an alley coming directly to a T-intersection, as
shown on the northeast corner of the above referenced plat.
Please let either myself or Shohre know if you have any questions.

the wheels would be removed from the trailers. Mr. Mickey Harper,
representing Coppell Independent School District, was also present and
stated that these buildings were needed for storage of excess property
until such time as the School District holds a Bond Election and has
approval for the construction of permanent storage facilities.
Following discussion on this item, Councilman Robertson moved that that
variance to place two (2) trailers on Coppell Independent School
District property located at 260 Southwestern Boulevard be approved for
a period of twelve (12) months. Councilman Nelson seconded the motion;
motion failed 3-4 with Councilmen Morton, Robertson and Nelson voting in
favor of the motion and Mayor Pro Tem Wilkerson, and Councilmen Thomas,
Smothermon and Cowman voting against the motion.
Item 26:
Discussion, consideration of approval of a variance from
Section 9-7-1D of the City's Code of Ordinances which concerns
metal roofs. The variance is requested by Melvin Gross for
the property located at 152 Cottonwood.
Chief Building Official Dale Jackson made the presentation to the
Council. Mr. Jackson stated that Dr. Melvin Gross is requesting a
variance from the Code of Ordinances to construct a metal roof on a barn
located on his property at 152 Cottonwood. Dr. Melvin Gross was also
present to discuss this item with the Council. Dr. Gross stated that he
had installed a fiberglass roof per City's ordinances, and that the roof
did not stand up to the weather conditions. He is requesting a variance
in order to replace the roof with a standing seam metal roof. The horse
barns are located behind Mr. Gross' property and are not visible from
the roadway. Following discussion on this item, Councilman Robertson
moved that the variance for the metal roof be approved. Councilman
Cowman seconded the motion; motion carried 6-1 with Mayor Pro Tem
Wilkerson, Councilmen Morton, Smothermon, Cowman, Robertson and Nelson
voting in favor of the motion and Councilman Thomas voting against the

Item 27:
Discussion, consideration of a preliminary plat for Park Place
Addition, located near the northeast corner of Heartz Road and
Sandy Lake Road, at the request of Univest Development
Company.
Planning and Community Development Director Gary Sieb made the
presentation to the Council. Mr. Sieb stated that this is a 25.8 acre
tract of land with 3.4 units per acre. The Planning and Zoning
Commission has recommended denial of the first plat and approval of the
second plat by a 5-2 vote for eighty-eight (88) lots. The concerns of
the Commission were the alley between lots 1 and 2. The Commission felt
that this alley should turn out to the street. This plat will be heard
by the Board of Adjustments on December 13, 1989 concerning side yard
variances, front yard variances, and Merchants Association requirements
being waived. Mr. Sieb informed the Council that Council does have the
authority to grant a front yard variance for a twenty-five (25) foot
setback per City ordinances; however, the other two items would be
required to be heard by the Board of Adjustments. Mr. Mike Allen,
representing Univest Development Company, was also present and discussed
this item with the Council. Mr. Allen stated that the plat complies
with all conditions of the SF-7 Sub-division requirements. Following
discussion on this item, Councilman Smothermon moved that the plat be
approved with the condition that the alley between Lots 1 and 2 be
connected to Allencrest Lane and that a variance on the front yard
setback to twenty-five (25) feet be approved. Councilman Morton
seconded the motion; motion carried 7-0 with Mayor Pro Tem Wilkerson,
Councilmen Thomas, Morton, Smothermon, Cowman, Robertson and Nelson
voting in favor of the motion.
