C.C. PACKET
SURROUNDING LAND USE 8,: ZONING:
North- single-family structure; PD-161- SF-12
South - single-family structure; PD- 161- SF- 12
East - single-family structure; PD-161- SF-12
West - single-family structure; PD-161- SF-12
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
single-family uses.
DISCUSSION:
When this area of Coppell was initially developed, and the
Stratford Manor subdivision was zoned and platted, there
was considerable discussion regarding a buffer between this
subdivision and Cambridge Manor to the east. Final
resolution required a 30 foot no build/fill area on lots
immediately adjacent to the rear property line of several
Cambridge Manor houses. This lot includes that no build
easement on its east side.
This applicant does not debate that fact, but requests
removal of a plat note requiring a 15 foot building and
fence line on the north property boundary. It is our
understanding that the applicant wishes to build a fence
within this 15 foot area, similar to the fenced property north
and across the street from this lot. Because the house on
that north property currently has a fence in this same
general location, the fact that we have received support for
this request from the immediate neighborhood, and the fact
that our on-site inspection determined no safety issues are
apparent, staff concludes that this request has merit.
Coupled with the comment from the applicant that the
fence will be decorative metal with brick columns (again,
similar to the property across the street) staff supports this
request.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends approval of this request with the understanding that any
fence constructed will posses the same type architectural elements as the
fence on the north side of Prince Edward Lane (brick colunms with
decorative metal inserts). In addition, the fence will observe the same
general setbacks as the existing north side fence of approximately 7-8 feet

behind the existing sidewalk. Finally, signature blocks need to be updated to
reflect TXU Gas and Oncor Energy, and ATT Broadband.

3) Recommend modification of the request
