Mac Arthur Blvd., Suite 118 Coppell, Texas 75019 972-462-7387 FAX 972-393-2002 Nathan D. Maier Consulting Engineers 8080 Park Lane, Suite 600 Dallas, Texas, 75231 214-739-4741 FAX 214-739-5961 HISTORY: There is no platting zoning history on this tract. TRANSPORTATION: East Beltline Road is a P6D 6 lane divided major thoroughfare built within a 120' wide right-of-way. SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North- Railroad, Apartments; MF-2 South - Archon Apartments; PD-162- MF-2 Item # 14 East - Archon Apartments; PD-162- MF-2 West -Blooming Colors Nursery: LI COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for light industrial/showroom uses DISCUSSION: The applicant is requesting to subdivide this property into (3) three lots. The proposed use for Lot 1 is a Veterinary Clinic and Lot 3 (2.26+ acres) is an office warehouse. The site plans for these uses are included in this agenda. The user for Lot 3 (1.45+ acres) is unknown at this time. Access to this property will be via two driveways on Belt Line Road. The western driveway is 146.5 feet east of the existing driveway serving Blooming Colors. A variance to the required 200 foot driveway separation is being requested to allow for utilization of the median opening on Belt Line Road. Proposed mutual access easements and fire lanes will connect these three lots as well as adjacent properties (Blooming Colors and Archon Apartments). There is an existing 50 foot access easement which was established when the adjacent property was platted, to assure joint access to the eastern driveway on Belt Line Road. The southern portion of this access easement will be abandoned and replaced with a fire lane easement. When the Gunner Subdivision (Archon Apartments), to the south and east of this property was approved, a 15 foot hike and bike trail easement was provided along the western property line, south of this tract. This trail was permitted to be located concomitant with the required landscape buffer along this property line. A ten foot concrete trail has been constructed from the comer of the subject property to the flood plain area to the south through the apartment development. The continuation of this trail easement along this property line and along Belt Line Road has been reflected on this plat. As discussed in the site plan review for the office/warehouse on Lot 3, in the event that a second access point is provided from the western portion of LOt 3 to Belt Line Road through Lot 2, this access easement will need to be reflected on the plat. Item # 14 Finally, the easement adjacent to Belt Line Road should not be a drainage easement. The drainage system in that area will need to be private. The notation plat needs to be revised accordingly. RF_,COMMF~A~ON TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: Staff is recommending approval of this plat subject to: 1) A variance to the driveway spacing requirement, allowing an 146.5 foot separation between the western driveway and the existing driveway serving Blooming Colors. 2) In the event that a second access point is provided from the western portion of Lot 3 to Belt Line Road through Lot 2, this access easement will be reflected on the plat. 3) The easement adjacent to Belt Line Road needs to be labeled "24 foot fire lane and mutual access easement", deleting the word "drainage." ALTERNATIVES: 1) Recommend approval of the request. 2) Recommend disapproval of the request 3) Recommend modification of the request ATrACHMENTS: 1) 2) Engineering Comments Preliminary Plat Item # 14 Iai ' I !!!
