HISTORY:
This property has no previous platting history. However, it
adjoins the south sides of the Coppell Church of Christ subdivision
and Lot 1, Block B, of Sandy Lake Addition, as well as the east
side of Lot 1, Block A, Sandy Lake Addition. In connection with
the development in 1990 of the Food Lion grocery on Lot 1, Block
A, the developer constructed a concrete driveway to serve as a fu'e
lane from the east side of the building to Samuel Boulevard. The
south line of the proposed Lot 2, Block A, Sandy Lake Addition
follows the centerline of this existing driveway from the former
Food Lion building to a point 30 feet west of Samuel Boulevard.
Earlier this year the applicant submitted a Preliminary Plat on a
the western portion of this property, including property south of it,
but withdrew the submission.
Item// 11
TRANSPORTATION:
Sandy Lake Road is a 2-lane road, without curb and gutter,
planned to be a C4D 4-lane divided collector in a proposed 106'-
wide right-of-way in the vicinity of this property. Samuel
Boulevard is a developed C2U 2-lane undivided collector in a 70'-
wide right-of-way.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows this property as suitable
for neighborhood retail uses.
DISCUSSION:
One of the purposes for recording plats of commercial properties is to
establish the location of easements and fire lanes. Part of an existing
concrete drive is located on this property. The drive serves as a fire lane.
Therefore the plat should show its location and identify it as a fire lane.
In addition, since this fire lane loops around the former Food Lion
building, all of it needs to be reflected in the County plat records..
To meet fu'e code, the northeast comer of the proposed day care center
building must be within 150 feet of a fire lane. A fire lane is marked on
the pavement both of the veterinary clinic which adjoins on the east and
of the Coppell Church of Christ property which adjoins on the north. One
of these might provide the necessary access. However, neither is shown
on a plat in the Planning Department records.
If any of these three fire lanes were previously recorded by separate
instrument, the proposed plat should show the volume and page number
of that record. If not, recording the fire lane(s) by separate instrument
and including the recording information,on this plat would accomplish the
purpose.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plat subject to:
1) Engineering recommendations;
2) Identification and designation of fire lanes adequate to meet fire
code requirements for the proposed building.
