September 10,1996, Council approved the preliminary plat for the
proposed 126-1ot residential subdivision.

TRANSPORTATION:
Denton Tap Road is a P6D, a six-lane divided (120 foot r.o.w.);
currently, a two-lane roadway; the S.H. 121 Bypass will be built
to freeway standards with access roads in 450 feet of r.o.w. (The
service roads from the Tarrant County line to The Colony. are
scheduled for completion within 2V2 years. The timing of the
upgrade to freeway status is dependent upon whether or not the
project is approved as a toll road.)

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The 1987 Comprehensive Plan shows this property outside
the boundaries of the planning area. The 1996
Comprehensive Plan shows the area as suitable for low-
density residential development.
DISCUSSION: This submittal represents final platting for the second phase of
construction of Section 2. The layout conforms with the previously
approved preliminary plat for all of Section 2. The landscape plans for
the area along Spur 553 (State Highway 121 By-Pass), however, do not
conform with the plans approved and made a part of the Planned
Development District ordinance for the property. The following table
provides a comparison of the approximate number of plants shown on
each plan for the area between Bella Vista Drive and the western edge of
Phase 2B, excluding the feature landscaping beds at the entry s~eets
(Bella Vista and Crestwood).
