CITY MANAGER'S REVIEW:
REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION
TASK FORCE
PROPOSED TASK FORCE INITIATIVE
The following information is provided to clarify the many issues related to the formation
of the City of Coppell’s Regional Transportation Task Force (RTTF). Before proceeding
further with the RTTF interviews and the actual work of the task force, the Council
Liaisons to the task force and the City Manager’s Office thought it prudent to have a final
discussion of the major issues.
This report includes a recommended RTTF mission statement, identified City Council
parameters, identified study issues, recommended RTTF membership criteria and a
recommended timeline. Additional information is included about the RTTF structure and
the product the City Council expects to receive from the RTTF. Finally, recommended
interview questions are included for the City Council’s review.
TRANSPORTATION TASK FORCE MISSION
The mission of the City of Coppell Regional Transportation Task Force is to provide the
Mayor and City Council with recommendations regarding the Coppell community’s
interest in participating in local and regional transportation services and how proceed
with such efforts if it is decided to do so.
CITY COUNCIL PARAMETERS
The work of the RTTF will include as a minimum the following components:
1. RTTF Member Education – designed to allow the Task Force appointees
the opportunity to become adequately familiar with the various issues
associated with regional transportation in order that the RTTF can
appropriately educate the community, assess the community’s opinions
concerning the issues and present a balanced, documented report of its
findings to the City Council.
2. Public Education - designed to educate the community through various
mediums regarding the multitude of issues associated with the regional
transportation question.
3. Public Hearings – held in sufficient quantity to allow multiple
opportunities for the general public to provide opinions and input into the
RTTF Proposal
8/13/02
Page 2 of 4
decision-making process regarding regional transportation and the role the
City of Coppell should play.
4. Public Opinion Survey – designed to appropriately and scientifically
measure the opinions of the citizens of Coppell regarding the multiple
issues associated with regional transportation.
STUDY ISSUES
The following is a list of identified topics the RTTF should study and consider when
formulating their public education efforts and recommendations. Each study area will
have some degree of impact from/on the issue of regional transportation. Other topics
will most likely be identified as the work of the RTTF progresses. The topics are in no
particular order.
1. Funding 6. Legislation
2. Traffic Congestion and Mitigation 7. User Interest
3. Noise 8. Economic Development
4. Air Quality 9. Measuring Public Opinion
5. Local & Regional Trans. Plans 10. Transportation Agencies
TASK FORCE MEMBERSHIP
Some discussion was held at the Council Retreat and subsequent work sessions regarding
the desired make-up of the RTTF. It was decided that a diverse group of citizens would
be necessary to adequately perform the duties of the RTTF. For this reason it was
determined to ensure the RTTF has members representing several different viewpoints.
In all cases, it is recommended that the RTTF members be citizens of Coppell.
The following are recommended at large positions for the task force. There will most
likely be multiple appointees from each of these categories.
1. Residents on/not on the DART line
2. Residents in favor/not in favor
3. Residents likely/not likely to use regional transportation
5. Business Owners
6. Transportation Specialists i.e.: TxDot, COG
To better ensure certain segments of the community are represented, it is recommended
that specific people be recruited from certain groups to ensure there is representation on
the RTTF. Other special interest groups may become evident that will require additional
RTTF Proposal
2/13/02
Page 3 of 4
special interest group membership on the RTTF. The identified groups being
recommended for guaranteed representation include at a minimum the following:
1. Senior Citizen Member
2. Chamber of Commerce Member
3. Development Community Member
COMMITTEE STRUCTURE
Given the nature and complexity of the anticipated work of the RTTF, it is recommended
that 21 people be appointed. In so doing, we can better assure the Council that each
at-large membership category will be adequately represented while leaving room for the
special interest membership categories.
It is also anticipated that the RTTF will utilize sub-committees in order to facilitate the
completion of their work. A task force of 21 members should provide sufficient numbers
to organize into workable sub-committees
COMMITTEE PRODUCT
It is recommended that the RTTF provide three specific products to the City Council
during and at the conclusion of their work.
1. Monthly Reports to the City Council – The RTTF will report on a monthly
basis at the first regularly scheduled City Council meeting of each month.
This report will be designed to keep the City Council fully aware of the
ongoing public education, public meeting and survey efforts of the RTTF.
2. Public Opinion Survey Report – This report will be a written summary of
the findings of the public opinion survey. The format will be similar to
the format normally used by the City to report various public opinion
survey results.
3. RTTF Recommendation – The final recommendation will present the City
Council with the RTTF’s recommendations regarding how the City of
Coppell should proceed concerning the overall issue of regional
transportation.
RTTF Proposal
8/13/02
Page 4 of 4
TIMELINE
The recommended timeline for the completion of the RTTF’s work is very ambitious. If
it is the will of the City Council to have a recommendation from the RTTF in time to
consider a non-binding referendum no later than next August, the RTTF report to the
Council must be delivered no later than June 10, 2003. This schedule would give the
City Council two weeks to consider calling for a special election for August 9, 2003.
The recommended timeline is as follows:
October 2002 – December 2002 RTTF Member Education
January 2003 – March 2003 Community Education
April 1, 2003 – April 12, 2003 Public Opinion Survey
April 14, 2003 – June 9, 2003 Final Report/Recommendations Formulation

To: Mayor and City Council
From: Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E., Dir. of Engineering/Public Works
Date: August 13, 2002
RE: Consider approval of a right-of-way use agreement between the City of Coppell
and Transwestern Commercial Services; and authorizing the City Manager to
sign.
During the course of the development of the AmberPoint Business Park located generally south
and east of the Sandy Lake Road/Royal Lane intersection, (immediately north of Wagon Wheel
Park) the developer approached the City concerning modifications to the median currently
located in Northpoint Drive between Royal Lane and the entrance to the city’s second elevated
water tank. The existing median is approximately 300 feet long and consists of concrete.
However, the concrete has settled and broken in numerous locations creating a less than aesthetic
entrance to the AmberPoint Business Park. It is the developer’s desire to remove the concrete
from the existing median and replace it with some enhancements to creating a more aesthetic
entrance to their development. The developer is proposing at the noses to install red stamped
concrete similar to the MacArthur/Sandy Lake intersection. Also, at the east end of the median
where it widens out, the developer is proposing to install irrigation and some landscaping. The
landscaping will generally consist of Asian Jasmine, Nandinas, Crape Myrtles and Yaupon
Hollys. The developer is also proposing to create some berms within that landscaped area. For
the remainder of the median he is proposing to reinstall typical gray concrete. The developer is
proposing to perform this work and provide the on-going maintenance of the landscaped area at
his own cost.
Staff recommends approval of the right-of-way use agreement between the City of Coppell and
Transwestern Commercial Services to allow the upgrading of the existing median with stamped
concrete at the noses, a landscaped area at the east end and new concrete in the remaining area.
Staff will be available to answer questions at the Council meeting.

To: Mayor and City Council
From: Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E., Dir. of Engineering/Public Works
Date: August 13, 2002
RE: Consider approval of Amendment 02 to the Interlocal Cooperation Agreement
for Operation and Maintenance of Traffic Signals between the Texas
Department of Transportation, City of Lewisville and City of Coppell as
approved by City Council on February 9, 1999; and authorizing the City
Manager to sign.
On February 9, 1999 City Council approved an Interlocal Cooperation Agreement transferring
the maintenance of the traffic signal at S.H. 121 and Denton Tap Road to the City of Lewisville.
When a city has a population of less than 50,000 TxDOT maintains all traffic signals located on
state highways within that city. However, in 1999 TxDOT subcontracted with the City of
Lewisville to maintain traffic signals located on state highways within the cities of The Colony,
Coppell, Corinth, Lake Dallas, Flower Mound, Hickory Creek and Highland Village. There is
no cost to the City of Coppell for the maintenance of the traffic signal at S.H. 121 and Denton
Tap Road.
The first amendment to the 1999 agreement approved by City Council in February 2001 was
necessary to remove Flower Mound from the agreement when their population exceeded 50,000
and to cover the maintenance of three additional traffic signals within the cities of The Colony
and Corinth.
This amendment is the second amendment to the 1999 agreement, which adds maintenance
responsibilities of two traffic signals in the City of Hickory Creek to the agreement.
Staff recommends approval of Amendment 02 to the Interlocal Corporation Agreement for
Operation and Maintenance of Traffic Signals between TxDOT, Coppell and Lewisville. Staff
will be available to answer any questions at the Council meeting.

RE: Annual Water Meter Supply Contract, Bid #Q-0701-02
On August 21, 2001, the original bid for the purchase of water meters was opened. The original

2001, City Council awarded various parts of the original bid to Hersey Meters, ACT Pipe &
Supply and Master Meters. All three vendors have agreed to hold their pricing for an additional
year. We have worked with all three vendors this past year with a great deal of success. They
all beat the 45-day deadline requirement for delivery.

ITEM # 8 CITY COUNCIL MEETING: August 13, 2002
ITEM CAPTION:
Consider approval of the certification of the 2002 anticipated collection rate for the period of July 1, 2002,
through June 30, 2003, and the amount of excess debt collections during the period of July 1, 2001, and June
30, 2002.
SUBMITTED BY: Jennifer Armstrong
TITLE: Director of Finance
STAFF COMMENTS:
Pursuant to Section 26.04 of the Texas Property Tax Code, the Tax Assessor/Collector has certified the
anticipated collection rate for the period of July 1, 2002, through June 30, 2003, to be 99%. The pur pose of
this law is to permit a taxing unit to adjust the debt portion of its effective rollback tax rate to account for
anticipated delinquencies.
The truth-in-taxation laws of Chapter 26 also require the Tax Assessor/Collector to compare the amount of
debt tax dollars actually collected during the period from July 1, 2001, through June 30, 2002, with the
amount of debt tax dollars that should have been collected according to the 2001 anticipated collection rate.
If a taxing unit collects more debt tax dollars than should have been collected, the collector certifies the excess
amount to the governing body. The adjusted amount of debt tax dollars levied in 2001 was $6,788,600.00;
however, the actual debt collections during the same period was $6,953,036.48. Therefore, the Tax
Assessor/Collector has certified that the $164,436.48 is the full, tr ue and correct amount of excess debt
collections.

Subject:Anticipated Collection Rate for 2002 & Excess Debt Collections in 2001
===========================================
Pursuant to Section 26.04 of the Texas Property Tax Code, I have certified the anticipated collection
rate for the period of July 1, 2002 through June 30, 2003 to be 99%. The purpose of this law is to
permit a taxing unit to adjust the debt portion of its effective/rollback tax rate to account for
anticipated delinquencies.
The truth-in-taxation laws of Chapter 26 also require the Tax Assessor/Collector to compare the
amount of debt tax dollars actually collected during the period from July 1, 2001 through June 30,
2002, with the amount of debt tax dollars that should have been collected according to the 2001
anticipated collection rate. If a taxing unit collects more debt tax dollars than should have been
collected, the collector certifies the excess amount to the governing body. The adjusted amount of
debt tax dollars levied in 2001 was $6,788,600.00, however, the actual debt collections during the
same period was $6,953,036.48. Therefore, I have certified that $164,436.48 is the full, true and
correct amount of excess debt collections.
The above stated anticipated collection rate and the amount of excess debt collections will be used in
the calculation of the effective/rollback tax rate for 2002. Attached is the certification of these two
items to be approved by the City Council.

C.C. HEARING DATE: August 13, 2002
STAFF REP.: Marcie Diamond, Assistant Planning Director
LOCATION: Valley Ranch Center, 820 S. MacArthur Boulevard, Suite 108B.
SIZE OF AREA: An approximate 1,241 square-foot restaurant.
CURRENT ZONING: LI-S-1145 (Light Industrial–Special Use Permit-1145)
REQUEST: LI-S-1145R (Light Industrial, Special Use Permit-1145R) to allow
the operation of a restaurant, with private club.
APPLICANT: Chalermchai (Chuck) Gunasayan
453 Cooper Lane
Coppell, Texas 75019
214-747-3306
HISTORY: In 1995 a SUP was granted for a bagel shop and in 1998 City Council
approved SUP-1145 for Zuka Juice in the same lease space as the
current application.
TRANSPORTATION:Both MacArthur Blvd. and Belt Line Road are six-lane divided
thoroughfares (P6D) built within 110’ right-of-way. The
improvement to Belt Line Road to standard width, west of
MacArthur Blvd. is nearly complete.
Item # 4
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - Boston Market and retail uses; LI (Light Industrial)
South - Grapevine Creek/undeveloped land; City of Irving
East -Valley Ranch Centre Shopping Center; LI (Light Industrial)
West - Wendy’s and Valley Ranch Plaza; LI (Light Industrial)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
regional retail uses.
DISCUSSION: As discussed in the HISTORY section of this report, this is the third request
for a restaurant Special Use Permit in this lease space since 1995. It was first
occupied by a bagel shop, then a smoothie/juice bar and now a Thai
restaurant with private club. Per the ordinance adopted by Council on July
9th, this restaurant would have qualified for administrative approval given
that the size, signage, parking requirements, etc., remain the same; however,
since this request includes a private club, a Public Hearing process is
required.
The restaurant will contain 1,241-square feet and have a seating capacity of
22. The hours of operation are requested to be as follows:
11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and 5 to 10 p.m. Monday –Thursday
11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and 5 to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday and
5 to 9 p.m. on Sunday.
To allow for maximum flexibility for the owner, staff is recommending that
the hours of operation be from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. seven days a week. The
restaurant will not be required to be open all these hours.
Having 17 feet of frontage, the requested 17-square-foot sign, with mounted
ivory channel letters, projecting 5 inches from the surface, is in compliance
with the sign ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of S-1145R for Siam Thai Cuisine restaurant
with private club, subject to the following conditions:
1) The development of the property shall be limited to the site
plan, floor plan and sign plan.
2) Hours of operation shall be 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. seven days a week.
3) The sale of alcoholic beverages on the premises is permitted as
provided by State Law.

972-419-1925 972-446-8013
HISTORY: In December 1998, Council approved a site plan and preliminary plat
with three lots totaling 32.82 acres for this tract of property. The final
plat for 7.31 acres was approved by the Planning and Zoning
Commission in 1999. The approved site plan was for a 103,611-
square-foot (2-story) office building, which has since been
constructed.
Item # 6
In March of this year, Council approved a site plan amendment for
this office building, allowing for an emergency generator with
screening wall to be located in close proximity to the east end of
this building. Per the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning
Commission, the screening wall was revised to incorporate various
design features of the existing office building (spandrel glass and
reveals). This approval was also subject to the condition that in
the event this generator is no longer needed, the generator,
screening walls and non-required landscaping shall be removed.
TRANSPORTATION:LBJ Freeway is a full-service freeway built to standard. This tract may be
accessed from the Freeport Parkway exit. Dividend Drive was
constructed with this development and is located at the northeastern
edge of this tract. This street contains enhanced pavement and
landscaping and is the entry road into the Gateway Business Park.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- vacant; LI (Light Industrial)
South - LBJ Freeway
East - Coppell Middle School West; C (Commercial)
West - vacant; LI (Light Industrial)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
freeway commercial uses.
DISCUSSION: The applicant desires to revise the site plan to accommodate three
revisions: add 32 parking spaces, provide for a back-up generator and,
finally, a 4,000-gallon above-ground gasoline storage tank for the back-up
generator. Per Section 12-30-12.9 of the Zoning Ordinance, the fourth
request, “petroleum products storage” requires a Special Use Permit in the
Light Industrial district. Therefore, this site plan, as required for a SUP,
also incorporates all other elements requesting revisions.
ADDITIONAL PARKING
There are 445 existing parking spaces serving this 103,611-square-foot
office building, which exceeds the parking required by zoning by
approximately 100 spaces. However, the new tenant for the northern
portion of this building, Washington Mutual, requires additional parking
to meet the needs of their employees. Specifically, this request is to
increase the parking by 32 for a total parking count of 477 spaces. The
area of this lot has been increased by 0.303 of an acre to accommodate this
parking lot expansion and has been designed in accordance with the
Landscape Ordinance, whereas there is a 10-foot landscape buffer with
dwarf Burford Holly shrubs and Cedar Elm trees. Internal to the parking
lot, there are landscape islands, with a minimum of 150-square feet and a
Item # 6
Live Oak tree in every planting island. The landscape materials match
those in the existing development.
BACK-UP GENERATOR
Given the operating characteristics of this use, a secondary source of
power is required. This generator is similar to the generator recently
installed at the east end of the building for the other major tenant, Brinks
Security. In that request, the generator was in very close proximity to the
building, and the screening wall was designed to appear to be part of the
main structure. In this request, the generator will be located within the
parking lot area, adjacent to the existing dumpster. The 10-foot high
screening wall is proposed to be an 8”-thick concrete panel wall, painted
to match the existing building. Given that each side of this screening wall
will be approximately 30 feet in length, vertical reveals have been added
at 10-foot intervals, as well as a horizontal reveal two feet from the top of
the wall. The elevation that is visible to the parking lot will have a door
and louver, which shall be painted gray to match the accent color of the
main building. This wall will be of sufficient height to screen both the
generator and the fuel storage tank. Cedar Elm trees and a Burford Holly
hedge will be extended around this wall.
PETROLEUM PRODUCTS STORAGE
The final portion of this request is for the inclusion of a 4,000-gallon fuel
storage tank to serve the back-up generator. Per the requirements of the
Light Industrial district, “petroleum products storage” requires a Special
Use Permit. In the Fire Marshal’s review of this request, he stated that
given the environmental concerns with below-ground fuel storage tanks,
the Fire Department prefers all above ground tanks. The Fire Department
requires the fuel tanks to meet ridged standards, including reinforced fuel
storage tanks with secondary containment. The applicant will be required
to meet all environment requirements during the permitting stage.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for

DISCUSSION: As discussed in the HISTORY section, this area was
originally platted as a three-lot subdivision, one lot north and
two lots south of Dividend Drive. The current request is to
realign the common property line between the southern two
lots to add approximately 13,200-square feet of property to
Lot 2 to allow for the construction of 32 parking spaces. This
will result in a decrease in acreage of Lot 1 from 4.72 acres to
4.41 acres, and an enlargement of Lot 2 from 7.31 acres to
7.61 acres.
All of the easements and the fire lane have been brought
forward from the original plat and are correctly delineated on
the replat; however, metes and bounds descriptions of both
the fire lane and the entire tract are required to be included.
Therefore, approval is recommended subject to the inclusion
of these two metes and bounds descriptions.

regarding Group Homes
P & Z HEARING DATE: July 18 , 2002
C.C. HEARING DATE: August 13, 2002
STAFF REP.: Marcie Diamond, Assistant Planning Director
DISCUSSION: It has been brought to the City’s attention that there are no
provisions for group homes in our community. The City
Attorney has recommended that reasonable accommodation
be made for this use in our residential districts. Per Article
38 of the City of Coppell Zoning Ordinance,
CLASSIFICATION OF NEW AND UNLISTED USES,
Group Home is hereby being established. Given the special
characteristics of a Group Home, this use is hereby being
defined and the size, parking and location requirements are
being established. Group Home regulations from other
Texas communities have been reviewed and tailored to meet
the needs of Coppell.
Currently in the Zoning Ordinance, a family is defined as:
“… one or more persons, each related to the other by
blood, marriage, or adoption; or a group of not more
than four persons (excluding servants) who are living
together in a dwelling unit”.
Further, the definition of dwelling unit limits the occupancy
to one family, as herein defined. Therefore, this regulation
will apply to more than four unrelated persons living in a
dwelling unit.
Item # 8
page 2 of 4
Section 12-42-1 Definitions.
ADD:
Group Home: A community-based residential facility
providing twenty-four-hour care in a protected living
environment for more than four (4) residents with
disabilities, plus one (1) supervisor residing in the home at
the same time. The limitation on the number of persons
with disabilities applies, regardless of the legal relationship
of those persons to one another.
For purposes of this definition, a disability is defined as a
physical or mental impairment, which substantially limits
one or more person’s major life activities. This definition
does not include persons who are using or are addicted to
controlled or illegal substance(s). Criminal correctional
facilities are also expressly excluded from this definition.

Dear Mr. Witt:

DF COUNSEL
You have asked us to comment concerning the use of a local residency tiu-ough a lease or
sublease to unrelated persons who reportedly are recuperating from physical injuries as part of a
medical treatment. The question presented is whether or not such unrelated persons living in a
residential district, all of which are receiving medical care or attention, are in violation of the
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance.
Under the City's Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, the City has provided numerous
single-family residential districts. These include AO, agricultural; SF-ED, single-family
residential estate; single-family residential SF-18; single-family residential SF-12; single-family
residential SF-9; single-family residential SF-7; and two-family residential district SF-9. Cite
omitted. (We have omitted the Townhouse Residential or Multi-family residential districts.) It
appears that the residence in question is located within the SF-7 district as defined by the Code of
Ordinances. In the residence in question, the permitted uses therein are of single-family residential
character or those by special uses provided in Sections 12-30-5 and 12-30-6 of the Comprehensive
Zoning Ordinance. I
The applicable Special Use Permit sections of the Coppell Comprehensive Zoning
Ordinance of the City of Coppell does not specifically provide for "group home." Group homes
traditionally means the residency of a number of unrelated persons living in a residential
neighborhood under special circumstances. These group homes have indicia of boarding houses in
that the rentals or charges are by the room or by "bed" so that a number of unrelated people
' SF-7 district also permits SF-ED, SF- IS, SF- 12 and SF-9 uses as of right, we do not find that a "group home" is a
permitted home occupation.

are living in a single-family residential home. These people traditionally are "handicapped" as
those terms are defined in federal and state legislation, having either mental and/or physical
conditions which require supervision and/or special medical or physical needs. It further appears
that these persons are unrelated to the primary person in charge of the house. Thus, the question
then becomes, is the use of a "group home" in a single-family residential neighborhood a business
that is prohibited from singe-family residential districts.
The Federal Fair Housing 4ct, 42 USC § 3601 et seq., protects certain activities regarding
housing based on race, religion, sex,.and national origin. In 1988 this Act was arnended to protect
additional groups other than based on race, color, sex, or national origin. Under 42 USC § 3602,
handicapped persons were protected and defined as follows:
(1)
(2)
physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more
persons major life activities;
a record of having such impairment or being regarded as having such
impairment;
Such term did not include any persons who are currently using or addicted to a controlled
or illegal substance.2
Under state and federal law a "group home" under appropriate circumstances may be
maintained in the City. A municipality, through its Special Use Permit or zoning category use
chart, should recognize this use. However, since Coppell does not have such provisions in the
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, the City can make a "reasonable accommodation" for a
"group home". Under this standard, a City may determine whether or not the number of such
persons living at the residence produces a safe environment for not only members of the "group
home" itself but for the neighborhood in which the "group home" is maintained. Under,4valon
Residential Care Homes, Inc. v. City of Dallas, (cite omitted) the determination of whether a
city's accommodations in its ordinance constitutes a reasonable accommodation of the housing
need for the disabled, the Court would consider how the ordinance operates under the overall
zoning scheme. Thus, it would be in our best interest to make a reasonable accommodation for a
person maintaining a group home administratively at this point. The City may reevaluate the
condition and needs of the residents, use of the property, impact on the neighborhood, type of
activities, safety of the activity, traffic congestion, and type of outsourced activity on the premises
in order to provide a reasonable accommodation. At that time the City would have the ability to
determine the number of residents, the square footage of the home, and whether it would produce
a safe environment for those residents in the home in order to allow the continued use of the
residence. Hence, the City must determine whether or not the home, in its current
2, Comparable state law concerning group homes is found in Section 59 1.001 et seq., TEXAS HEALTH AND SAFETY
CODE, and Section 30 1.001 et. seq., TEXAS PROPERTY CODE.

configuration with a number and conditions of the residents is compatible with health, safety and
welfare of the neighborhood and is compatible with the other single-family residences.
We opine that while the City may not exclude all group homes in every circumstance, the
City does and can regulate or prohibit this particular residential group home,based on legitimate
governmental interest in decreasing congestion, traffic, noise, and the number of people living in
occupied space in connection with the aforementioned standards as provided in this letter. The
City may also wish to look at the number of residents of this particular home, parking spaces,
physical or mental needs of the residents, the use or number of vehicles, and any other activities
that are being conducted at such facility in order to make a final determination.
. Prospectively, the City may wish to consider in what districts would be suitable and
compatible for "group home" living arrangements. Since the City does not have any provisions for
group home inclusion in its single-family residential space or as specifically outlined under
special use permits, in order to comply with federal law the City should adopt standards which
would allow for this use. Since we have very little information concerning the nature of activity
conducted on the premises, we will withhold any final determination concerning this residence
and its operation.
We hope that this has been instructive for your purposes in this regard. If you have any
questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact us at your convenience.
Very truly yours,

"CITY OF COPPELL ENGINEERING - EXCELLENCE BY DESIGN"
MEMORANDUM
FROM THE
DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E., Dir. of Engineering/Public Works
Date: August 13, 2002
RE: Consider approval of a entering into an agreement with Oncor Electric Company for
the design and installation of streetlights along Belt Line Road from Denton Tap
Road to MacArthur Blvd. in the amount of $70,476 as provided for in CIP funds; and
authorizing the City Manager to sign.
During the design of Belt Line Road by Dallas County, there was discussion between the city and the county
concerning future streetlights for Belt Line Road. Because it was anticipated that streetlights would be installed
on Belt Line Road in the future, the conduit and foundations were included as part of the project. The
approximate cost for the foundations and the conduit was $60,000. As part of the interlocal agreement between
the City of Coppell and Dallas County in July of 2000, the cost participation for the foundations and the conduit
was split at 57% for the City of Dallas and 43% for the City of Coppell. This split is based on the actual footage
of Belt Line Road within each city. So therefore, the City of Coppell has already contributed approximately
$26,000 and the City of Dallas has already contributed approximately $34,000 to the cost of the installation of
the streetlights.
It is now time to enter into an agreement with Oncor to install the actual streetlights on the foundations. There
will be 42 double steel standards at a unit cost of $1,678/each for a total installation cost of $70,476. Because
57% of the roadway lies within the City of Dallas, there have been numerous conversations with representatives
of the City of Dallas and Dallas County concerning funding the streetlights within the City of Dallas. There are
approximately 23 streetlights being proposed within the City of Dallas and 19 streetlights within the City of
Coppell. We have now been notified by the City of Dallas that they do not have funds available for installation
of the 23 streetlights within the City of Dallas. However, they did state that the City of Coppell could install
and fund the lights within the City of Dallas.
In an effort to provide for a safer roadway for the citizens of Coppell and other motorists using the roadway, the
Engineering Department is bringing forth this item for approval to be funded entirely by the City of Coppell.
If this item is approved and the streetlights installed, the City of Coppell’s total cost for the installation of the
streetlights will be $96,476 and the City of Dallas’s participation will be $34,000. Again, Dallas has previously
participated in the cost of the conduit and the foundations. All things considered, the total cost for the
installation of the streetlights along Belt Line Road will be approximately $130,500. This information is
provided as a comparison to the cost of streetlights along Sandy Lake Road where we allowed TXU to provide
the streetlights, foundations and conduit. The installation of the streetlights along Sandy Lake Road cost the
City of Coppell $160,000. So while I am recommending that the City fund the portion of the streetlights in the
City of Dallas, our total cost will still be over $60,000 less than the City paid for a comparable distance along
Sandy Lake Road.
Staff recommends approval of the agreement for street lighting along Belt Line Road from Denton Tap
to MacArthur to Oncor Electric in an amount of $70,476. Staff will be available to answer questions at
the Council meeting.
