South - MacArthur Park and vacant; LI, O and SF-7
East - TXU easements and single-family residences; A and SF-7
West - church, school, townhouses, multi-family and shopping center; SF-7,
PD-97R, MF-2, PD-182-TH
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for residential
medium density (4-12 units per acre) single-family uses.
DISCUSSION:
Page 2 of 4
In March of this year, City Council approved the zoning for a retirement
facility on this property. The preliminary plat was approved in July,
which designated four lots. Lot 1, (29.63 acres) will be developed with
the 437 residences, chapel and ancillary uses. Lot 2 (1.947 acres) will be
the site of the City's new water facility which is being relocated from the
Sandy Lake frontage. Lot 3, containing 2.12 acres, will be dedicated to
the City of Coppell for parkland. Finally, Lot 4, containing 13.484 acres
of flood plain land, contains TXU facilities and easements and will
ultimately contain a hike-and-bike trail, pedestrian bridge and limited
parking for the retirement community. This preliminary plat approval was
subject the resolution of several issues prior to the approval and filing of
the final plat for this property.
The first issue was regarding the City of Irving's existing 54-inch water
line located in the Phase Two development area, adjacent to Sandy Lake
Road. As detailed in the attached letter dated September 6, 2001, the City
of Irving recognizes the provision of the additional 10 feet of easement in
addition to their existing 20-foot easement to protect their water line. The
attached revised site plan for the Phase 2 cottages relocates the building
footprints out of the easement area. The other issues outlined in the City
of Irving's letter will be addressed as part of the engineering and
construction process.
The second major issue related to the depiction of the Sandy Lake Road
R.O.W. and its impact on the proposed tree placement along Sandy Lake
Road. This R.O.W. is now accurately reflected on the plat. When the
Item # 10
including the plan, it will be determined if administrative approval could be
granted for the placement of these trees.
2) Inclusion of a 20' pedestrian ingress and egress easement across Lot 4 for the
pedestrian bridge on the plat.
3) Correction of the City's signature blocks as specified on pages 30 and 31 of
the Subdivision Ordinance and as provided to the applicant and again with the
DRC comments.
4) Provide required notes from the Floodplain Ordinance, in addition to the
Floodplain signature block that is shown.
5) Engineering comments, as attached.
6) TXU easements, as needed, are to be provided on the Final Plat.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Recommend approval of the request.
2) Recommend disapproval of the request.
3) Recommend modification of the request.

Item # 10
landscape plan is overlaid on the plat it appears that three-quarters of the
58 trees proposed to buffer the road from the drainage area are located
within the City's R.O.W. and over the City of Dallas's 20' water line
easement. This easement contains a 36" water line, which is the main
source of water for the City of Coppell. The planting of trees is not
recommended over this easement. Also, the planting of trees prior to the
widening of Sandy Lake Road is not advisable, due to the potential
disturbance of those trees during road construction. Therefore, it is
recommended the 41 trees indicated on the approved landscape plan in the
R.O.W and/or within the easement be relocated elsewhere on the site,
preferably along the frontage on private property, or directly south of the
drainage channel. There is also a potential for some tree plantings within
the drainage area, subject to the approval of the Engineering Department.
An amended landscape plan needs to be submitted to the Director of
Planning prior to the Certificate of Occupancy being issued for the first
building within 200 feet of Sandy Lake Road or the construction of Sandy
Lake Road, whichever occurs first, to determine if administrative approval
could be granted for the placement of these trees.
As part of the preliminary plat approval, there was a note that there will be
a 20' pedestrian ingress and egress easement between the River Ridge
Addition and Starleaf Street, across Lot 4 of this property, to provide
access to the elementary school. The alignment for this pedestrian bridge
has been set, and therefore, an easement needs to be included on this final
plat prior to filing it with the county.
There are still several drafting errors which need to be corrected prior to
the filing of the plat, and are detailed below. As of this date, TXU
easements are also still needed.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the Final Plat for the St. Joseph Addition, subject to the
following conditions:
1)
An amended landscape plan being submitted the Director of Planning prior
to the Certificate of Occupancy being issued for the first building within
200 feet of Sandy Lake Road or the construction of Sandy Lake Road,
whichever occurs first, which provides for the relocation of the trees from
the Sandy Lake Road right-of-way to elsewhere on the site, targeting the
frontage of Sandy Lake Road and the adjacent drainage channel. By

Provide required notes from the Floodplain Ordinance in addition to the Floodplain Signature
block that is shown.
On your storm sewer plan, you are showing 9 headwalls discharging into the channel along
the north side of this development. You should consider ru~ning a parallel drainage system
adjacent to the channel and only discharge twice into the channel. The introduction of
headwalls into the channel will create erosion over a period of time.

Subject: St. Joseph Village Development
Final Plat Submittal
Dear Mr. Sieb:
I received a final plat submittal from Mr. Mike Millican of Aguirre Corporation regarding the
proposed development of the St. Joseph Village in the City of Coppell. The plat now includes an
additional 10 feet of permanent easement for our 54-inch diameter water pipeline as requested on
the current City of Coppell water tank site.
We appreciate the additional easement as it will provide a much needed buffer between the
pipeline and the development and will help with fitture maintenance activities. However, there
are still several issues mentioned in a previous letter that need to be resolved:
Previous plans showed some of the building footprints on the northeast part of the property
inside our easement. Permanent structures are not allowed within our easement. I have not
seen the latest drawings and do not know if this has been addressed.
We have a butterfly valve manhole and an air relief valve manhole located in the proposed
Star Leaf Road right-of-way. These sumctures are not rated for traffic loading and can not be
placed in a road as presently designed..The manholes.also. . can not. be moved unless the
eir~e!ine is moved. The Cig: would consider ha,zing t~ p,~,,,l ....m~ vd outside of the new
~le'velopment road (i.e. straightened,out), but not at'our eXpenSe: This would require our
easement to be relocated.
· We will need to review and approve the design detail for the stormwater pipe crossing of
our pipeline.
· Any air relief or blow off valve manholes adjacent to the proposed Star Leaf Road will
need to be raised by the developer to the proposed grade. We will review and approve the
design details.

Most of the issues listed above were included in a previous letter and have not been addressed at
this time by Mr. Millican. We do not want to impede development, but we need our pipeline
concerns addressed to reduce the risk of future problems. Please call me if you have any
questions or need further clarification of our concerns.
