SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
DISCUSSION:
North: Single-family residential structure; PD-161-SF-12
South: Single-family residential structure; PD-161-SF-12
East: Single-family residential structure; PD-161-SF-12
West: Developing single-family structure; SF-12
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property suitable for single-
family residential uses.
This is a request to allow an already constructed CMU screening
wall to remain on a single family lot in the Stratford Manor
subdivision. As explained to staff, this wall has been in existence
for over five years, and was only recently brought to the attention
of the property owner that it was illegal. Unknown to the property
owner, no building permit was obtained from the contractor for
construction of the wall. In addition, there is a lattice-work arbor
that mayor may not be in violation of code. On examination of
documents provide by the property owner, this arbor appears to
be outside the 20 foot rear yard setback, but is included here to
remove any question of its validity.
Regarding the screening wall, as mentioned above, the applicant
states he was unaware that a building permit was not procured
by his contractor when the wall was built over five years ago.
When he was recently advised that a permit was not obtained,
he contacted our office and requested guidance to retain this
existing fence. We advised him that an amendment to the PO
would be required to retain it, which initiated this request.
Every property owner on this side of Stratford Lane has a rear
privacy fence. Some are wood, others are masonry. There are
two elements that make this request unique. One, a building
permit was never issued to allow the fence to be constructed.
Two, CMU is not defined as a masonry building material in
CoppelL so the PD would need to specifically allow it here. Since
the fence is already up, has been here for over five years with no
complaints, the owner has stated he did not know a building
permit was not issued, the fence was constructed inside the
property line to preserve all trees within the fence construction
area, and the fact that every other home owner on this side of
Stratford Lane has a fence, it would seem prudent to allow the
existing fence to remain.
ITEM #5
Page 2 of 3
Regarding the arbor structure, the applicant has provided staff
with documentation that indicates the arbor is at least 22 feet
behind the rear property line, hence, only a building permit would
be needed to make the structure legal. Staff supports the
applicant's requests.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of this request with the following conditions:
1. Amend the PD to allow this eMU screening fence on this lot.
2. Owner will procure a building permit for the fence, and arbor.
3. It is established the arbor is not infringing on the 20 foot rear setback.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend approval of the request
2. Recommend disapproval of the request
3. Recommend modification of the request
4. Take under advisement for reconsideration at a later date

City of Coppell:

l
(1.) When the fence was put up by Masonry Concepts in August 2003 they
failed to receive a permit from the City of Coppell without me being
notified.

on the arbor without me being notified.
(3.) There were no mature trees removed in constructing the wall.
(4.) All the neighbors have rear privacy fences (rod iron) plus in addition
wooded picket fence put up behind the existing fence by Mr. Spears.
(5.) Drainage has not been negatively affected.
(6.) The wall and landscape improvements have been in existence in
excess of 5 years. Live at 709 Stratford Lane since August 2003.

Subject: CMU Wall
Mr. Pack,
Here is our recommendation for your CMU wall, if there are no city requirements:
An 8" CMU wall, 6 to 8 feet tall should have cells filled with concrete and #5 rebar every 32" on center. Bond
beam on top of wall with concrete and 2 #5 rebar.
This recommendation would apply for general conditions only. It would be best to follow the city requirements or if
that is not available, contact a certified engineer.
Let me know if we can be of further assistance.
