requested amendments to this PD, Ms. Diamond explained an existing license agreement
relating to the former Deforest Road right-of-way abutting six lots in Villages of Coppell IIIB,
which would allow these six owners to maintain and place their fences over this 1 O'-wide area
and a proposed license agreement with Windsor Estates, which would allow for the entry-
feature hardscape and landscaping to remain in the existing right-of-way area. Ms. Diamond
then stated that staff recommends approval of the first eight amendments to the Planned
Development, subject to four conditions, which she read into the record. She then stated that
staff recommends denial of the revision to the building/fence line on Lot 1, Block B, unless
support is received from the property owner to the north. Ms. Diamond added that 40 notices
were sent to property owners within Windsor Estates and 200' of this subdivision. The
Planning Department received two favorable responses from Windsor Estates homeowners,

stated that most people in the development were unaware of the revision to the property line of
Lot 14.

Chairman Halsey opened the Public Hearing, asking for people who wanted to speak either in
favor or opposition or wanted to comment on this request to come forward. The following
people spoke:
Mark & Kelly Revis, 926 Deforest Lane, Coppell, TX - addressed the reduction of the
building line on Lot 1, Block B. Being the adjacent property owners to the north of this
request, they expressed strong opposition to moving the fence line, citing obstruction
of the view of the neighborhood, devaluation of property and the fact that it would
create a sight obstruction when backing out of driveway. Mr. Revis handed in his
written opposition.
Rita Carlile, 930 Deforest Road, Coppell, TX - stated they weren't adequately
notified of the change to Lot 14's property line - this was not mentioned at the

4
o

HC (Planned Development-199-Highway Commercial) with a Concept Plan to allow the
development six office/assembly/warehouse buildings, totaling approximately 200,000
square feet, and five retail/restaurant pad sites on approximately 26 acres of property
located at the southwest corner of S.H. 121 and MacArthur Blvd, at the request of
Demian Salmon of Jackson-Shaw Company and Jeff Libby of MacArthur Ridge
Partners.
Presentation:
Assistant Planning Director Marcie Diamond introduced the item to the Commission, showing
exhibits, including a color board, explaining this conceptual planned development, reviewing
the history of this property, and stating the criteria for HC (Highway Commercial)
development. Ms. Diamond then stated that staff recommends denial of this project for the
following reasons:
8
1)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
8)
On approximately 20 of the 26 acres, the applicant is proposing approximately
200,000-square feet of tilt-wall office/assembly/warehouse buildings, suitable for
LI (Light Industrial) zoning areas (not Highway Commercial zoning). At the
corner, is proposed a gas station/car repair facility;
landscape shortages;
the proximity of residential subdivisions adjacent to this property;
lack of screening walls;
lack of articulation on the proposed screening wall, especially if it is expanded;
preserving existing trees on the property;
number of monument signs requested;
lack of architectural quality of proposed elevations (100% tilt wall rear elevations
w/metal doors facing the residential developments); etc.
Ms. Diamond reiterated that this proposal is in direct conflict with the established City
standards and does not adhere to the stated purpose, intent or regulations of the Highway
Commercial district.
Bennett Ratliff, RatliffGroup, 504 Sora Lane, Coppell, TX 75019, representing Jackson-Shaw
Company, the Standridge Companies and Service Star, was present to represent this case
before the Commission and answer any questions. He addressed staff concerns and gave a
PowerPoint presentation, stating this mixed-use project is a master planned development with
common architecture, common landscaping and common access. He stated the developers
invited approximately 50 homeowners to a meeting last evening of which five people attended,
two people called and comments were generally neutral. He then handed out a four-page
response to staff comments and proceeded to review the document. Mr. Ratliff had other
representatives of this development stand and introduce themselves: Steve Jacobs, Director of
Development for Service Star; Jeff Libby, Executive V.P. & General Consul for Standridge
Companies; Dan Anderson, Centex Development; Jim Stillwell, Service Star Development
Company; Keith Newman, Shell Oil Company; Frank Malick, Service Star Development
Company; Steve Pappa, Service Star Development Company and Demian Salmon, Jackson-
Shaw.
Discussion:
A question was raised as to whether or not the development on the north side of S.H. 121
would be prohibited in Highway Commercial zoning and what the intent is of the developers
(whether or not the purpose of the Planned Development is to avoid using more masonry, etc.)
It was determined that this project is speculative, except for the gas station at
the corner. Phase I would consist of the gas station and three speculative
office/assembly/warehouse buildings. Safety issues were raised with using heavily-traveled
Forest Hill Drive as entrance points to this development, especially if trucks are going north on
MacArthur would have to make a U-turn onto Forest Hill. There was considerable
conversation regarding the lack of masonry required by this zoning classification.
Public Hearing:
Chairman Halsey opened the Public Hearing, asking for people who wanted to speak either in
favor or opposition or wanted to comment on this request to come forward. The following
9
people spoke:
Jean Ashenfelter - 672 West Peninsula Drive, Coppell, TX - opposes project for safety
concerns for children/pedestrians along Forest Hill Drive, probable devaluation of
residential property values because of backing up to warehouse doors, need for more
screening, both natural and masonry, between commercial and residential areas, etc.
Feels as though the entrances into Coppell need to be appropriate.
Dawn Arispe - 668 W. Peninsula Drive, Coppell, TX - expressed concerns regarding
the landscaping - wishes it were heavier. If proposed, opposes any drive-through
restaurant on the retail pad sites because of heavy traffic concerns along MacArthur
Boulevard. Also expressed lighting concerns.
Dan Anderson - Centex Development, 2728 North Harwood, Dallas, TX - expressed
full support of this conceptual plan and reminded the Commission of the approved Site
Plan for a 70,000 square-foot office building, which he stated could be occupied by a
manufacturing/assembly/warehouse -- what's being proposed today. He stated that he
believed this proposed development better takes into account site layout, traffic flow,
etc.
Chairman Halsey closed the public hearing.
Discussion continued relative to concern with the number of trucks that would be using Forest
Hill Drive and the reduction in development standards if this project were approved. A
question was asked as to access from Forest Hill Drive for the two-year old approved Site Plan
by Centex. Ms. Diamond stated that there was access off Forest Hill Drive, although the
proposed building was designed as 100% office, not industrial. Usage and landscaping
questions were discussed.
Action:
Vice Commissioner Foreman made a motion to table Case No. PD-199-HC, Vista Point II,
MacArthur Ridge, and open the public hearing on the companion Case No. S-1211, Service
Star, zoning change request from PD-199 to PD-199-HC-S-1211. Commissioner Milosevich

Store and Gasoline Service Station on approximately 2 acres of property located at the
southwest corner of S.H. 121 and MacArthur Blvd, at the request of Steve Pappa,
Service Star Development.
Presentation:
Assistant Planning Director Marcie Diamond introduced the item to the Commission, showing
exhibits, stating the use on Tract 4 is for a convenience store, car wash and gas pumps,
10
reminding the Commission that a few years ago, a similar use was denied on this property,
given the inappropriateness of this use at this gateway entrance corner into Coppell. After
discussing the Site Plan, elevations, landscaping, monument signs, etc., Ms. Diamond stated
that an auto repair/tire sales, with outside storage of tire and car parts, use was also being
proposed, which use is specifically prohibited in the Highway Commercial district. Multiple
technical issues were then discussed. She then stated that staff recommends denial of this
Special Use Permit based on:
The inappropriateness of these uses at this important gateway into the City;
Auto repair and tire sales are specifically prohibited uses in the HC District;
Technical issues, including, but not limited to: conflicts with the Sign Ordinance;
inadequate fire lanes, need to provide for deceleration lanes, the inclusion of outside
storage, metal awnings, insufficient rear-yard setbacks, lack of details on site and
canopy lighting, hours of operation, and building materials.
