ITEM 2 CASE #08-09-FP — CONSIDER A FINAL PLAT
Consider a request for a Final Plat changing Oakwood Terrace West
Addition, Lots A2 and A3 to The Courtyards Addition, Block A, Lots 1-16
and Lot A; Block B, Lots 1-7 and Lot A; Block C, Lot A. This property is
located on S. Pipeline Road W.
Stephen Cook, Senior Planner, gave a brief description of the case. Courtyard
Development, L.P. represented by Charles Dibrell, is requesting the approval of a final
plat for approximately 4.692 acres of a single family residential development located
north of Pipeline Road South, east of S. Industrial Boulevard (FM 157). The
development contains twenty-three (23) single-family lots and three (3) lots to be owned
and maintained by the homeowner's association (HOA). A preliminary plat (Case No.
07-06-PP) for the property was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission on
July 17, 2007. Subsequently, the developer requested modifications to the Planned
Development zoning district approved in February 2007. The amendments included a
reduction in overall number of lots; an increase to the average lot size; a decrease in lot
density; the addition of design standards for the lots including landscaping and interior
finish out; and modifications to the final development of the HOA lots. These
amendments to the Planned Development zoning district (Case No. 08-03-PD) were
approved by the City Council on September 8, 2008. The Final Plat for The Courtyards
_ subdivision represents a record of the subdivision property including an accurate
description of blocks, rights-of-way, easements, building lines, and street names. This
Final Plat also establishes the creation of a HOA to provide for maintenance of the
following: screening walls; landscaping on entrance ways; open space lots; sidewalks
within the open/common space areas; access gates; and, the private street. The
proposed Final Plat is in compliance with the regulations approved in the Planned
Development zoning district. A Letter of Acceptable Public Improvements has been
issued by the City Engineer.
Stephen Cook stated the applicant's representative, Charles Dibrell, was available for
any questions.
Commissioner Portugal asked what area was dedicated for the Homeowners
Association.
Stephen Cook stated the areas that the Homeowners Association will maintain are
Block A, Lot A; Block B, Lot A; and Block C, Lot A (the internal street).
Commissioner Bearden asked the applicant what was intended for the lots that Bloom
Field Homes are not building on.
Charles Dibrell, 2109 Franklin Drive, Arlington, Texas, stated he would like to be
involved to end and currently the plan is to partner with a custom builder to construct the
homes for Block A, Lots 3, 4, 14-16 and Block B, Lot 7. He has been approached by an
individual that is eager to purchase Block A, Lot 14.
