HISTORY: On July 14, 1998, Council approved a Site Plan and Minor Plat on
this property to allow for the construction of an 80,000 square-foot
office building. At that time, the proposed user for the property was a
call center. Although the building was constructed and the site fully
developed and landscaped, it was never occupied for that use.
On March 14, 2000, Council approved a Replat and an Amended Site
Plan for this building to allow for the construction of a 20,120 square-
Item #10
Page 2 of 3
foot courtyard area addition to house mechanical equipment to serve
a start-up internet access provider, PSINet. Unfortunately, they
occupied this building for less than a year.
In August of this year, staff administratively approved a Minor
Amending Site Plan to allow for the closing of one driveway and the
widening of another, with a gated entrance and additional
landscaping. Because this request also received support from the Fire
Marshal, it was administratively approved.
TRANSPORTATION:Lake Shore Drive is a concrete street with a 41-foot pavement width within a
60-foot right-of-way. Crestside Drive is a concrete street with 37-
foot pavement width, within a 60-foot right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North -Office; LI (Light Industrial)
South - vacant; A (Agriculture)
East - warehousing; LI (Light Industrial)
West - warehousing; LI (Light Industrial)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable for Light Industrial/Showroom uses.
DISCUSSION: This request is to add covered parking over 28 existing
parking spaces along the west side of the building. The
covered parking will be made of a “sunbrella” fabric,
similar to the material that was approved at the Park ‘N Fly
project along I-635. However, to be more compatible with
the main building, the fabric will be terracotta in color. A
minimum of 80% of the height of the poles will have a
brick veneer, matching the brick of the existing building.
The portions of the poles and supports that will be exposed
will be cream colored, complementing the accent color of
the main building.
The approved Landscape Plan for this project shows one
Chinese Pistache tree in the island, between the two rows
of parking, and one Red Oak in each of the parking islands
at the end of the parking rows. However, two Bradford
Pear trees were planted in the center island, in addition to
the Chinese Pistache, along with a Bur Oak in the north
island and an Ash tree in the southern island, instead of the
Item #10
Page 3 of 3
approved Red Oak trees. The additional trees in the center
island are not required per the provisions of the Landscape
Ordinance, and the applicant is concerned about the long-
term viability of these trees and has requested they be
relocated to the south side of the tract, behind the building.
Staff is in support of this relocation and is requesting that
the applicant specify the new location.
This covered parking request is in compliance with the
zoning regulations (i.e., adhering to the masonry
requirements with the brick veneer) and is attempting to
make this addition aesthetically compatible with the color
scheme of the existing building (utilizing terracotta and
cream). It is also in compliance with the Landscape
Ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of the amendment to the Site Plan to
allow for covered parking for Northlake 635 Business Park, Lot 2, Block
B (PSINet Addition, Lot 1, Block 1) subject to:
1) Specification of the location of the two (2) relocated
Bradford Pear and one (1) Chinese Pistache trees.
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.

HISTORY: The Freeport North Addition was platted in 1984. It consists of
approximately 237 acres. There have been several replats on this
property as there is unprecedented industrial growth in the area. On
November 10, 1998, Council approved a Site Plan and Replat of the
Item #11
2 of 4
Freeport North Addition, Lot 1, Block 3. This Replat was never filed
for record and expired. The Site Plan expired after two years.
Within the previous submittal, a variance was granted for a median
opening on Royal Lane. It was 45’ short of the required 420’
separation requirement. This was approved as a north bound left-turn
only and was contingent on final design approval by the Engineering
Department.
TRANSPORTATION:Royal Lane is designated as a C4D/6 four-lane divided collector built to
standard in a 100’ right-of-way capable of accommodating a six- lane
divided thoroughfare. Creekview Drive is a C2U two-lane undivided
collector built to standard within a 60’ wide right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North – PSS, Inc. Office/Warehouse, Light Industrial
South – Trillium Services Display Products, Light Industrial
East – Derse Exhibits, Light Industrial
West – Fellowship of Las Colinas Church vacant land, Light Industrial
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable for light industrial/showroom uses.
DISCUSSION: The submitted Site Plan shows the layout of a 167,000 square-foot
office/warehouse on 12.14 acres of property. Less than 25% of the
building is proposed for office use; therefore, the parking
calculations were based using this maximum percentage. There
were 43 spaces required at the office parking ratio of 1 to 300
square feet of building area and 152 spaces required at the
warehouse parking ratio of 1 to 1000 square feet of building area.
The applicant has provided 196 spaces to exceed the minimum
parking requirement of 195.
On the north portion of the Site Plan, a loading area is shown with
entry off Royal Lane. This is just south of the bridge and will
accommodate both northbound and southbound traffic. There are
two ingress/egress points shown along Creekview Drive. The
applicant has agreed to comply with the City’s minimum 125’
offset requirement from other ingress/egress points. There is a fire
lane that encircles the building and meets the City of Coppell’s
Item #11
3 of 4
minimum width (24’) and minimum distance from the building
(150’) requirements.
The building has two entries, one from the east and one from the
west. Dexas, Inc. will occupy the west end and will lease the
40,000 square-foot area facing east. Initially, Dexas had their
building fronting only to the west. The idea was to create a more
worker-friendly environment (not facing any roads or parking),
facing green space. Staff understands the rational of fronting to
the green space and suggested having a façade along Royal Lane to
maintain the trend of fronting along major roadways, but still
achieve the worker-friendly environment. Dexas has since added
an entry along one-third of the east elevation along Royal to try to
accommodate staff concerns. Staff believes this is still inadequate
and recommends mirroring the west elevation.
The north and south elevations appear to be very expansive. The
architect has addressed the northern elevation with the screening
for the loading area. On the southern elevation, the monotony is
broken up by the 20° (+/-) offset from Creekview after
approximately 270’ of parallel alignment. The change in color (off
white, light grey, darker grey, black, a metallic accent and green
glass), the breaks in the design and the special entry features on
both ends also enhance such a massive design.
The applicant is providing an 8’ solid screen wall with eight Cedar
Elms and three Bald Cypress in front to block the loading area
from the Royal Lane northbound traffic. The area will be screened
from the southbound traffic with a canopy of Cedar Elms (13’
height) and a dense understory of Eastern Red Cedars (7’ height).
There is an attractive landscape treatment of a 36-40” high berm
along Royal with 17 Austrian Pines, seven Cedar Elms, six Bald
Cypress and eight Live Oaks. The corner of Royal and Creekview
is bermed with eight Live Oaks and five Austrian Pines. A
monument sign is shown at this location, and the applicant will
provide the sign details in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance
prior to City Council approval. Traveling westbound along
Creekview between the two entry points, the landscaping begins as
a berm. As the elevation increases dramatically, the berm becomes
a small hill sloping from the road down to the parking area. There
are 23 Red Oaks and six Austrian Pines (three at each entry) with
261 Sea Green Juniper lining the parking spaces. There are 18
Cedar Elms shown along the western boundary. Staff believes the
Landscaping Plan exceeds the minimum requirements of the
Zoning Ordinance.
Item #11
4 of 4
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
The Planning staff recommends APPROVAL of the Site Plan, subject to the
following conditions being met:
1) Consider mirroring the west elevation on the eastside fronting Royal
Lane.
2) Submit sign rendering with dimensions and materials to be used in
accordance with the City of Coppell Zoning Ordinance.
3) Submit for approval by the Engineering Department final design
details on the proposed left-turn only median opening. Indicate
dimensions, storage lengths, transitions, etc. Additional storage may

HISTORY: The Freeport North Addition was platted in 1984. It consists of
approximately 237 acres. There have been several replats on this
property as there is unprecedented industrial growth in the area. On
November 10, 1998, Council approved a Site Plan and Replat of the
Freeport North Addition, Lot 1, Block 3. This Replat was never filed
for record and expired. The Site Plan expired after two years.
Within the previous submittal, a variance was granted for a median
opening on Royal Lane. It was 45’ short of the required 420’
separation requirement. This was approved as a north bound left-turn
only and was contingent on final design approval by the Engineering
Department.
TRANSPORTATION:Royal Lane is designated as a C4D/6 four-lane divided collector built to
standard in a 100’ right-of-way capable of accommodating a six-lane
divided thoroughfare. Creekview is a C2U two-lane undivided
collector built to standard within a 60’ wide right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North – PSS, Inc. Office/Warehouse, Light Industrial
South – Trillium Services Display Products, Light Industrial
East – Derse Exhibits, Light Industrial
West – Fellowship of Las Colinas Church vacant land, Light Industrial
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable for light industrial/showroom uses.
DISCUSSION: This is a 12.14 acre replat of a portion of the Freeport North property. The
submitted Site Plan shows the layout of a 167,000 square-foot
office/warehouse for the proposed use. The plat is a legal definition of the
property showing existing and proposed dimensions of property lines,
surrounding property owners, property acreages and locations of
easements. The plat shows the flood plain of Cottonwood Branch with an
existing 150’ drainage easement covering the majority of the flood plain.
The fire lane easement will be accepted as shown on the plat. This
easement encircles the building off three ingress/egress points. There is a
15’ electric easement proposed along the western property line. A 100’
extension off this easement will lead to a transformer pad to service the
building. The length of this easement might need to be extended to reach
the transformer pad shown on the Site Plan. The surveyor will need to
coordinate with the electric provider to ensure all public lines are covered

with an easement. There are 20’x20’ water easements on both the
northeast and southwest corners of the property to allow for water meters
to be read and to provide for the transition between public and private
utilities. The plat is in accordance with the City of Coppell Subdivision
Ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
The Planning staff recommends APPROVAL of the Replat, subject to the following
conditions being met:
1) Ensure all public utilities are covered with an easement as depicted on the
approved Site Plan. Please coordinate with the architect and utility
providers.
2) Additional easements may be required after further engineering review.
3) Please list all miscellaneous notes in a common location (i.e. sidewalk,
flood plain, bearing system, etc…).
4) Correct Comcast contact information to state Juan Zapata at (214)

AGENDA REQUEST FORM
ITEM CAPTION: Consider approval of an ordinance to amend Ordinance No. 94680, in part, by adding a
seasonal increasing block rate to promote water conservation, and authorizing the Mayor to sign.
GOAL(S):
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Staff recommends approval of the implementation of a seasonal increasing block rate
structure during the summer months each year to encourage water conservation. Water rate consultants and various
studies indicate the increasing block rate structure has been successful in reducing outdoor summertime usage.
Also, it is recommended the conservation tier should be set low enough to impact between 25% to 50% of the
customer base, and the conservation rate should be up to 50% higher than the standard rate.
Staff is recommending a conservation rate $3.25 per 1,000 gallons for water usage in excess of 25,000 gallons for
the monthly billings that occur in June, July, August, September and October each year. Based on historical
consumption data, overall approximately thirty-five (35%) of our customer base would be impacted by the
proposed conservation tier during the peak usage period. The proposed conservation rate of $3.25 per 1,000
gallons represents a twenty-five (25%) increase over our standard rate of $2.60 per 1,000 gallons. This proposed
rate structure will provide higher rates for those who use more water during the summer months, however, we
believe the increased price signal will encourage water conservation resulting in overall system revenues being
neutral.

MEMO
Date:October 31, 2003
To:Roy L. Osborne, Police Chief
From:Wade G. Goolsby, Police Captain
Subject:Communication System Upgrades
The public safety communication system is a multi-layered system consisting of
telephones, radios, laptop computers, and wireless communication systems. The
efficiency of the public safety sector relies on the efficiency of each component of this
system. At this point in time, there are numerous areas in the communications package
that need to be upgraded in order to obtain better performance from the system. Each
component is listed below with a brief explanation.
9-1-1 Invision Upgrade $ 14,594.00
We are currently using the TCI 911 phone system as an integral part of the computer aided
dispatch program. This upgrade would allow more efficient handling of calls in the
communication center. The current system requires a multi-step process to transfer calls and the
upgrade would improve the handling of calls and improve efficiency in the Communications
Center. The new system also provides better reports and the ability to easily update internal files
used routinely by the dispatchers, (phone numbers, speed dial, employee lists, etc) The upgrade
also includes the Standard version of the InfoVision MIS software as shown in the attached
information.
Bi-directional Amplifier – MacArthur area $ 5,633.66
The area of the city on the east side of MacArthur is a “dead spot” for radio transmissions, making
it an officer safety issue. This area is a lower elevation and radio signals cannot be directed down
into this area. This area is also an area of high police activity making it critical that we improve
radio performance in this area. A bi-directional amplifier mounted down in this area should
significantly improve radio performance.
Mobile Data Upgrade $ 20,615.00
Annual usage fee ($60/mo. x 21 units) 15,120.00
PST Interface software 10,000.00
Installation (not to exceed $350/unit x 21) 7,350.00
_______________
$ 53,085.00
The mobile laptop computers currently rely on a radio modem that is approximately five years old
and performing at 4800 BAUD (4.8Kbps). By today’s standards, this transmission speed is
antiquated and extremely slow. In order to implement field reporting and improve transmission
capability, these modems need to be upgraded with newer technology. There will be a continuing
annual fee of $15,120 for usage.
Motorola mobile radios 4 @ $2549.00ea. $ 10,196.00
The department has currently issued all of its handheld radios and no longer has any spare units.
We need to purchase four more units to have a radio for the incoming officer position and some
spare units.
Upgraded phone line $ 6,250.00
This upgrade is related to the phone line that currently connects the radio antennae at the water
tower to the controllers at City Hall and represents a link in the communication line between the
laptops and the CAD computers. The current phone line will not handle transmission speed to
support the new upgraded wireless system and needs to be upgraded. Based on pricing from Rick
Moore, the initial installation is $250.00 and a monthly charge of $500.00/month for a dedicated
T-1 phone line.
Additional server in Communications Center $ 7,008.37
We currently use two servers in the Communications Center for the CAD system, RMS system,
Firehouse system all on two servers. We need to purchase a third server and transfer the Firehouse
database onto a separate server. This additional server would not only enhance the performance of
the existing servers (by freeing up hard drive space) but would limit the ripple effect of one system
going down and affecting other systems.
Implementation of Phase I 911 technology $ 5,000.00
The Coppell Communications Center is not currently utilizing any form of technology to locate
911 callers from cellular telephones. The wireless industry is in the process of implementing
“Phase II” technology to triangulate or pinpoint the position of a 911 caller on a cellular phone.
We need to become Phase I compliant before we can proceed to Phase II technology. Based on
preliminary information, our current CAD system will support Phase I and Phase II technology but
there are invariably unforeseen expenses in the implementation of a new program. I am requesting
a contingency amount of $5000 to implement the Phase I technology.
Replace Radio Repeaters $ 26,527.00
The City of Lewisville had a review of our radio system performed and it is recommended that we
replace two Quantar repeaters that are outdated. Support of these units are contingent upon
availability of parts due to their age. These units would be replaced with newer units so that
availability of parts is not an issue.
Additional Geo-Viewer (Unit locations) $ 17,250.00
The capability exists for station commanders (police or fire) to be able to see the locations of all
units on the streets through the GPS system. Currently, the dispatchers are the only ones with this
capability by using the CAD software. With the Geo-Viewer module, we would be able to give
supervisors and commanders the ability to observe the location and movement of vehicles on the
street. By purchasing the “Geo-Viewer” module, supervisors would be able to observe unit
locations like the dispatch computers.
