Re: Preliminary Plat Submission
Park Place AdditiOn
Dear Mr. Ratliff:
We are submitting a preliminary plat for approval, to be heard at the October,
1989 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. This letter is being written to
specify the variances from the Subdivision Ordinance being requested in
conjunction with the preliminary plat. To the best of my current knowledge, the
variances are as follows:
1. The front yard setback shall be 25' instead of the ordinance provision for
30'. This variance has been granted in several of the highest priced custom home
additions in Coppell. We believe it maintains an acceptable street appearance and
provides a more functional back yard to the homeowner.
2. The interior side yard setback shall be 7' instead of the ordinance provision
for 8'. This variance will provide additional architectural flexibility to the builders,
while still maintaining an attractive separation between homes. The typical lots in
the development are between 71' and 73' in width.
3. The lots which side to the masonry screening walls proposed along Sandy
Lake and Heartz will have a 10' side setback adjacent to the wall. We were not sure of
the city requirement in this circumstance, but the normal corner lot side setback of
15', which is designed to facilitate traffic visibility, is not applicable because of the
screening wall.
4. Although it may be a matter for final plat discussion, I want to point out now
that this property is exempt from assessment for the improvement cost of future
widening Sandy Lake Rd., according to the terms of the Contract of Sale between the
city and the Parks of Coppell Joint Venture. The plat does however provide for a
dedication of 25' of right-of-way for the widening of Sandy Lake.
Sincerely,
