Plans for Holmes Builders’ 63-home gated community, Blackberry Farms, are back on track after amendments for the planned development were approved.
Coppell City Council approved the changes during its Oct. 24 meeting, adding an extra condition stipulating the construction of the entrance prior to issuing a certificate of occupancy for residences for the planned development zoning and informing the developer that two other items pertaining to a construction yard and unique street signs can be considered administratively. The consideration of the zoning case took place as a continuation of a public hearing to allow staff to process additional requirements proposed by Holmes Builders President Terry Holmes during the Oct. 10 meeting.
The overview
The main focus of the planned development amendment is to privatize the neighborhood roads, which will make the neighborhood’s homeowners association responsible for maintenance, according to city documents. The homeowners association will also be responsible for the maintenance of a bridge and street signs within the gated neighborhood.
