HISTORY:
In 1997, PD-163, Windsor Estates, was established to allow the
development of 27 single-family homes and common areas on
15.78 acres of property. The Preliminary Plat for this
subdivision was approved for 24 residential lots and two common
areas in May 1998. The Final Plat for 23 residential lots was
approved in May 1999. In June 1999, the PD was amended to
revise the entry features and create additional common areas to
accommodate landscaping.
TRANSPORTATION:
DeForest Road has been extended through this subdivision as a 27
foot concrete, residential street built within a 50' right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - Denton Creek; City of Lewisville
South - Villages of Coppell, Phase IIIB; PD-140
East - Denton Creek; City of Carrollton
West - Single-family home; SF-12
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable medium-density residential.
DISCUSSION:
Page 2 of 3
This is a companion case to the PD amendment. This plat reflects the
amendments as requested in the PD, which are specifically as follows:
· Replatting Lots 4&5, Block B, into one lot;
· reducing the fence/building line on Lot 1, Block B (612 St. James)
from 25 to 15 feet along DeForest Road;
· revising the size of the common areas (Lots 1X and 19X, Block A);
· revising the size of Lots 1, 2, 14, 16 and 17, Block A;
· renaming Lot 15 to Lot 15X, and
· revising the 100-year Flood Plain line.
Item # 7
These items were discussed in detail in the staff report on the requested PD
amendments. Given that these revisions will affect all property owners in
virtue of the revisions to the size of the common areas which will
ultimately the effect the long-term maintenance costs to the HOA, this plat
instrument is required to be signed by all lot owners in this subdivision.
Staff is in support of all these revisions, except for the reduction of the
building/fence line along DeForest Road.
The final issue relates to the R.O.W. that was previously dedicated for the
extension of DeForest Road. As this subdivision was planned and
constructed, DeForest Road was curved to the north into a looped street
pattern with St. James Place. The previously dedicated R.O.W. is no
longer needed. In July of this year, City Council granted License
Agreements with six of the property owners to the south, in Villages of
Coppell IIIB, to allow fencing and maintenance of the City R.O.W.
adjacent to these six lots. A similar License Agreement needs to be
entered into with Windsor Estates to allow for the entry feature and
landscaping within approximately 775 square feet of the western most
portion of this R.O.W.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of the replat for Windsor Estates,
subject to:
1. City Council approval of a License Agreement to allow for the
maintenance by the HOA of the entry feature and landscaping within
approximately 775 square feet of the western most portion of the 10'
R.O.W. This shall also be noted on the plat.
2. Revise page 2 of the plat to add owner's notarized signature blocks for
ALL lot owners within this subdivision.
3. DENIAL of the revision to the building/fence line on Lot 1, Block B,
unless approved as part of the PD amendment.
