COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The 1996 Comprehensive Master Plan shows the property
as suitable for Historic DiStrict classification. The Old
Coppell Master Plan recommended residential
development on the subject lot.
DISCUSSION:
This is a Replat request to remove a five-fOot access easement at the rear
of this residential lot. The easement was Originally platted to gain access
to the rear of this property for maintehance of the six-foot wooden
screening fence. However, as pointed out by the developer of the property,
the master homeowner's association agreement has an article requiring all
property owners to agree to allow the I-IDA to maintain all screening
fences. Therefore, the five-foot easementi is redundant, and the current
owner of this lot has asked to have it removed. In discussions with staff,
the applicant has advised us that he will be proceeding (at a later Planning
Commission meeting) to have the remainder of these easements removed
from the Plat in similar manner. Assumingithat future action will be taken
to remove the remaining platted access eagements on the remaining lots,
staff can support this request.
