Item # 5
DISCUSSION:
The approved planned development had a total of 27 residential lots, while
the total number of residential lots shown on this preliminary plat is 24.
The decrease in the total number of lots has resulted in an increase in size
of the lots along the north side of Oxford Lane and the creation of an
oversized residential lot (Lot 15, Block A).
The City of Coppell Hike and Bike Trail Master Plan impacts this
subdivision. The Denton Creek Greenwalk Trail runs along the northern
and eastern boundaries of this subdivision. The applicant is providing a
20 foot wide trail easement along the rear property line of Lots 9-14,
Block A, to accommodate the Greenwalk Trail. The east/west bike route
also runs along DeForest Road. The developer is furnishing 5 feet of
easement along DeForest Road to be utilized for this particular trail. The
10 foot wide easement between Lots 14 and 15, Block A will eventually
be used to connect the DeForest Road on-road bike route with the Denton
Creek Greenwalk Trail. A park development fee of $1,285 per dwelling
unit will be assessed for this property.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:

conditions being met:
