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
concrete, 27 foot wide, residential street built within a 50' right-of-
way.

South - Villages of Coppell, Phase IIIB; PD- 140

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable low density residential.
DISCUSSION:
This PD and the plat have undergone several revisions since its initial
inception in 1997. This PD amendment actually has nine revisions, several
due to owner requests, and several are more technical in nature. The
revisions are summarized on the following table:
