East - Single-family use; SF zoning
West - Single-family use; SF-12 zoning
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:

single-family.
ANALYSIS:
STAFF RECOMMENDATION AT FIRST PUBLIC HEARIN(~
Along with the request for approval of a zoning change, the applicant
is requesting approval of the attached preliminary
plat.
Several issues must be addressed prior to approval of this plat, and they
are as follows:
1)
Future Round Oak Lane is shown to be placed in the existing future
right-of-way of Kaye Street. Because staff recommends the
extension of Kaye Street, this plat needs to be redesigned.
2)
If it is felt that the right-of-way for Kaye Street is to be abandoned,
then the issue of a cul-de-sac for the eastern most portion of Kaye
Street needs to be addressed. One such solution is to install a
hammerhead mm around at the easternmost portion of Kaye Street,
(partially on the rear of Lot 15), which would ultimately grant the
existing residents of Kaye Street the ability to turn around and
travel westbound on Kaye Street. This issue was discussed at
length during the Planning Commission briefing, and the consensus
seemed to conclude that this proposed street system was
inadequate.
Because staff recommends a reduction of density and extension of
Kaye Street from Coppell Road to Harris Street and the concerns
the Planning Commission raised at the last hearing regarding the
hammer head, this plat needs to be denied at this time.
MODIFIED STAFF RECOMMENDATION
If the zoning request which accompanies this plat is essentially approved
as submitted, then plat approval would be forthcoming with the following
conditions:
no alley requirement
cul-de-sac length exceeding 600 feet
allowance for less than standard minimum street centerline radius
drainage, sanitary sewer, water access, turn-around design, etc.,
all meet City mandated guidelines
ALTERNATIVES:
1) Approve the preliminary plat.
2) Deny the preliminary plat.
3) Modify the preliminary plat.
