Final Plat
STAFF REPORT
The applicant is requesting a variance to delete alleys from portions of the
subdivision; however, staff is not convinced as to the need to delete an alley
behind Block D. The Development Review Committee (DRC) has reviewed the
plat and plans for this project and set forth the following comments:
(1) The Coppell Subdivision Ordinance requires alleys in all subdivisions.
(Z) If plat is approved as presented, 41 out of a total of 0Z lots will be
served by alleys. Staff recommends the front yard setback along
Block D, to be 15 feet (allowable by Section 14.3 of the Comprehensive
Zoning Ordinance), which will allow an additional 5 feet to be added
to the 10 foot access and utility easement as shown on the plat. This
adjustment will allow an alley along Block D, thereby increasing the
number of lots to be served by alleys from 41 to 53.
(3) Garbage pick-up in the front yards will be inconsistent with the rest
of the neighborhood.
(4) Homeowners Maintenance Agreement has not' been submitted to the
City for review.
(5) Construction Permit Fee is to be paid prior to the approval of the
final plat.
Originally, the plat for Villages of Coppell, was considered by the City Council
in 1985, but was denied due to the absence of alleys within the subdivision.
Another plat was submitted for consideration to the Planning and Zoning
Commission and the City Council in 1986, for the construction of 84 single-family
homes; and the issue of alleys was a major concern. Minutes from the March
Z5, 1986 meeting reflect the minutes to state that" alleys are shown behind
all lots. " The applicant; however, is requesting a variance to the alley
requirement. The applicant did not file the final plat with the Dallas County
Plat Department, and the approval fo this project has since expired.
