HISTORY: The original subdivision was platted in early 1996. Lots 3, 4, and 5, Block 1, Old
Coppell Estates were replatted in November 2008 to add a 20-foot strip of land
(4,490 total square-feet) from the Vaughan Addition to each lot’s western
boundary. In 2011, a replat of 361 Hearthstone, Lot 4R (current request area) and
the lot abutting to the north, Lot 5R (357 Hearthstone) was approved which
incorporated 0.9 acres from the northern portion the Vaughan Addition into the
rear portion of these two existing these two lots. The H (Historic) District

remained on the rear portions of the lots, which were formally within the Vaughan
Addition.
In 2012, PD-256-SF-9 was established to allow the expansion 369 and 373
Hearthstone (lots directly to the south of the current request area) into the .76 acres
which was formally the utility building for a cable company. These lots were also
replatted at that time.
TRANSPORTATION: Hearthstone Lane is a local 28-foot wide street built within a 50-foot right-of-
way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North – residential; SF-9 (Single Family-9), and H (Historic)
South – residential; PD-256-SF-9 (Planned Development-256 -Single Family-9)
East – residential; SF-9 (Single Family-9)
West – undeveloped; H (Historic)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property suitable as a Residential
Neighborhood.
DISCUSSION: This property, and the adjacent properties have a long history of platting, and replatting to
accommodate the property owners’ desires for their properties. The owner of 361
Hearthstone Lane is selling their property and is proposing to reduce it’s size from 0.793
acres to 0.373 acres, and increasing the lot to the south (365 Hearthstone Lane) by 4,668
square feet. This proposed revised lotting pattern is appropriate from a zoning and
platting perspective, whereas, the two residential lots along Hearthstone will be the same
depth as the two residential properties to the south. The companion request to rezone the
rear portions of these properties to SF-9 to have consistent residential development
regulations on the entire property is also appropriate. The final piece to this puzzle is the
deletion of the 0.29 acres west of the new rear property lines and re-incorporate that land
back into the Vaughn Addition (412 Bethel Road).
This is a residential subdivision, therefore, all replats are required to be considered at a
public hearing where all property owners within 200 feet, within the original subdivision
are notified. There were 16 notices sent.
