"CITY OF COPPELL ENGINEERING - EXCELLENCE BY DESIGN"
MEMORANDUM
FROM THE
DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E., Director of Engineering/Public Works
Date: March 9, 2004
RE: Consider approval of an Ordinance to amend Ordinance No. 92-547 for the
abandonment of a portion of Bethel School Road; and authorizing the Mayor to
sign.
On April 14, 1992 City Council approved Ordinance No. 92-547 which abandoned a portion of
Bethel School Road from Bethel Road to the Big Cedar subdivision. The 1992 abandonment of
Bethel School Road had three exhibits attached to the ordinance. Exhibit ‘B’ was north of the
Ruby McDowell property and on the west side of Bethel School Road. It was abandoned to
Carmen and Street, which later platted the Big Cedar subdivision and included the abandonment
within the platted area of the subdivision. Exhibit ‘C’ ran from the north line of the Ruby
McDowell property to the north right-of-way line of Bethel School Road. It was abandoned to
Ruby McDowell and will be included in that property once the property is redeveloped and
platted. Exhibit ‘A’ was a 20-foot wide area of Bethel School Road north of the Ruby
McDowell property and on the east side of Bethel School Road.
All correspondence concerning the abandonment of a portion of Bethel School Road from 1992
very clearly stated that the 20-foot strip, Exhibit ‘A’, was to be abandoned to Ruby McDowell.
Even the filed plat of Big Cedar denotes the 20-foot area and states “20-foot strip to be
abandoned by the City to adjacent landowner to the south”. Again, the adjacent landowner to the
south is Ruby McDowell.
However, when the ordinance was prepared, Section 1 of No. 92-547 states that the tracts of
land described in Exhibits ‘A’ and ‘B’ were abandoned to Carmen and Street. Section 2 states
that only the tract of land described in Exhibit ‘C’ was abandoned to Ruby McDowell. The error
in the ordinance takes place in the abandonment of the tract of land described by Exhibit ‘A’ to
Carmen and Street. That section of land was intended to be abandoned to Ruby McDowell.
Even after the abandonment, the City required that a mountable curb be installed at the cul-de-
sac in the Big Cedar subdivision and that turf stones, able to support the weight of an emergency
vehicle, be installed immediately adjacent to the curb to provide for emergency access to the
Ruby McDowell property. That access, along with the turf stones, is still in place.
"CITY OF COPPELL ENGINEERING - EXCELLENCE BY DESIGN"
One of the concerns and reason for the stipulations of having access to the north, to the Ruby
McDowell property, was that the bridge to the south of her property was a substandard bridge.
Potentially, during times of flooding the bridge could be under water and as such there would be
no opportunity for emergency access to the property.
This error in Ordinance No. 92-547 was recently brought to our attention when an inquiry was
made by a property owner in the Big Cedar addition about including the 20-foot in their
property. The person who inquired about the inclusion of the property was told that the 20-foot
was intended to be abandoned to the property owner to the south and that there was a correctable
error in the original ordinance. I have been in contact with Bob Hagar and he has prepared an
ordinance to amend Ordinance No. 92-547 by amending Section 1 to correct the error. Section 1
will now only state that the tract of land described in Exhibit ‘B’ was abandoned to Carmen and
Street and Section 2 will be revised to state that the tracts of land described in Exhibits ‘A’ and
‘C’ were abandoned to Ruby McDowell.
With this memo, I have provided a copy of my memo to Bob Hagar requesting that an ordinance
be prepared to rectify the original error. I have also provided a copy of the original agenda
request and a copy of Ordinance No. 92-547. Unfortunately, as can be seen from the original
agenda request, I was here in 1992 and did approve the original ordinance as submitted to
Council. I apologize for the error in the original ordinance.
Staff supports the approval of an ordinance to amend Ordinance No. 92-547 to correct the
abandonment of a tract of land described in Exhibit ‘A’ to Ruby McDowell, in lieu of Carmen
and Street.
Staff will be available to answer any questions at the Council meeting.

MEMORANDUM
FROM THE
DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING
To: Bob Hager, City Attorney
From: Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E., Dir. of Engineering/Public Works
Date: February 12, 2004
RE: Ordinance No. 92-547
In April 1992, City Council approved Ordinance No. 92-547 for the abandonment of a portion of
Bethel School Road. The ordinance abandoned the roadway to the adjacent property owners; one
property owner being Carmen and Street and one being Ruby McDowell. There were three exhibits
attached to the ordinance. Section 1 of the ordinance abandoned Exhibit ‘A’ and ‘B’ to Carmen and
Street and Section 2 abandoned Exhibit ‘C’ to Ruby McDowell.
It appears that the area of land shown in Exhibit ‘B’ was incorporated into the Big Cedar Addition
plat. The intent at the time was that the area of land shown in Exhibit ‘A’ would be abandoned to
the McDowell tract and become part of their property for access to the north. You may recall that
there is a substandard bridge to the south that would isolate this property in the event of a large
flood. The original abandonment of Bethel School was conditioned on the fact that there would be
emergency access to the north. Actually, when Big Cedar Addition was developed there were turf
pavers placed off the cul-de-sac of Harris Road to allow for access to the McDowell tract.
Now for the problem:
The area of land described in Exhibit ‘A’ was never incorporated into any tract of land and is
currently shown on the tax records as belonging to the City of Coppell. The property owner of Lot
1, Big Cedar Addition has approached the City about acquiring the land described in Exhibit ‘A’ to
incorporate into his tract of land.
However, upon my review of the documents from 1992, it was very obvious that that 20-foot area of
land was supposed to be abandoned to Ruby McDowell, not to Carmen and Street. As previously
stated, Ordinance No. 92-547 abandoned the area to Carmen and Street; however, they did not
incorporate it into their Big Cedar Addition. I have included a copy of what is called the
“McDowell access exhibit” which shows that the road would be closed and the 20-foot strip of land
would be abandoned by the City to the property owner to the south. I have also included a letter
from Matthew Goodwin, who was the engineer for Carmen and Street in 1991 for the Big Cedar
Addition, which very clearly states in the third sentence that the first exhibit was for a 20-foot strip
to be deeded back to Mrs. Ruby McDowell. Attached to that letter in 1991 is an exhibit of what
came to be known as Exhibit ‘A’ in the ordinance.
While this might sound complicated, it appears that there is a simple solution. The intent all along
was that the 20-foot area was to be deeded back to the Ruby McDowell tract for emergency access
to the north.
"CITY OF COPPELL ENGINEERING - EXCELLENCE BY DESIGN"
It is my opinion that Ordinance No. 92-547 needs to be amended in Section 1 to state that only
Exhibit ‘B’ was deeded back to Carmen and Street and Exhibit ‘A’ was deeded to Ruby McDowell.
If legally that is not as simple a solution as I laid out, then if the land is currently shown as the City
of Coppell’s land, can we legally at this time deed it back to Ruby McDowell, even though the prior
1992 ordinance stated that it was deeded to Carmen and Street?
This issue needs to be resolved in a timely manner because of the fact that the property owner of Lot
1 Big Cedar Addition is pressuring the City to allow him to take that land into his property. If in fact
we did legally deed it to Carmen and Street, then an error has been made and the property owned by
Ruby McDowell has been isolated with only one point of access from the south.
With this memo I am providing attachments of all documentation and requesting that once you have
had time to review it you provide me with the approach the City should take to rectify the oversight
in 1992, which deeded property to the wrong property owner. Once I have your response, I will
respond back to the current property owner of Lot 1, Big Cedar Addition as to his ability to purchase
and/or incorporate the 20-foot access easement into his lot.
I look forward to hearing from you in the near future on this issue.

RE: PUBLIC HEARING
Consider approval of a Resolution to establish a schedule of drainage charges against all
real property within the City of Coppell for the funding of the Municipal Drainage Utility
Systems Ordinance No. 2004-1070; and authorizing the Mayor to sign.
On January 27, 2004 a public hearing was held to discuss an amendment to the City of Coppell’s Code
of Ordinances to establish a Municipal Drainage Utility System. After the close of the public hearing,
City Council approved Ordinance No. 2004-1070 which amended Chapter 9 of the Code of Ordinances
by adding Sections 9-22-1 through 9-22-5. Section 9-22-1 established the Municipal Drainage Utility
System. Section 9-22-3 authorized the City to establish a schedule of drainage charges against all real
property within the City. Section 9-22-5 established the criteria by which all real property within the
City of Coppell would be assessed under the Municipal Drainage Utility System. That section also
stated that the drainage charges shall be adopted by resolution.
The item before you this evening is a public hearing to gather input prior to the approval of the
resolution that establishes charges associated with the Municipal Drainage Utility System. The
resolution is attached which details the proposed fees for various zoning classifications and uses within
the City of Coppell. I am also including a table which summarizes the charges for the various uses
within the City of Coppell.
The fees collected under the Municipal Drainage Utility System will be used to offset the City’s cost to
be in compliance with the Phase II requirements as established by the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality (TCEQ). One of the first items to be addressed will be updating our GIS
system to include all the storm sewer map information. Previous information has been provided that
outlines a 5-year schedule that the City is preparing for it’s Phase II compliance. In addition to
updating the GIS storm system information, in year one there will be efforts in the areas of: public
education and outreach; public involvement and participation; illicit discharge detection and
elimination; pollution prevention/good house keeping for municipal operations; construction site
stormwater controls; and post construction stormwater management for new
development/redevelopment.
Staff recommends approval of the resolution to establish a schedule of drainage charges against all real
property within the City of Coppell for the funding of the Municipal Drainage Utility Systems
Ordinance No 2004-1070. Staff will be available to answer any questions at the Council meeting.

HISTORY: In 1985, Town Oaks Centre was developed with a Minyard Grocery
Store as the anchor tenant. Minyards closed this location in the
spring of 2001. The remainder of the center contains a mix of retail,
medical office, and restaurant uses. SUP’s for La Chalet (now closed)

SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- Town Center Shopping Center (Tom Thumb); TC (Town Center)
South -Braewood Center; C (Commercial)
East - Braewood West Addition; SF-7 (Single Family-7)
West - Mobil Gas Station and McDonalds; R (Retail)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
neighborhood retail uses.
DISCUSSION: The applicant desires to open a Roly Poly Sandwich shop in the
lease space abutting CiCi’s Pizza to the north. The proposed 1,470
square-foot restaurant will have a seating capacity of 24. The
hours of operation are proposed not to exceed 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.
seven days a week.
When a new restaurant locates in an existing shopping center, in a
lease space that was not previously used for a restaurant, a parking
analysis is required to assure that there is sufficient parking. This
restaurant will require 15 parking spaces, versus 7 that would be
required if this was a retail use. The attached analysis indicates
that at full occupancy, there will still be an excess of 10 parking
spaces in this shopping center.
This lease space will have approximately 19.5 feet of frontage on
Denton Tap Road; therefore, the proposed 19.5 square-foot sign
would be permitted. The color of the individually-mounted letters
(no raceway) will match the shade of white of the existing signage.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of S-1213 for Roly Poly Restaurant,
subject to the following conditions:
1) The site shall be developed in accordance with the site plan, floor plan

suitable for regional retail use.
DISCUSSION: This property is currently platted as one 22.5- acre lot. In February
of 1998, Presbyterian Hospital proposed, and had granted, a site
plan for a portion of the lot. Roughly 15 acres was proposed for
two buildings--a 75,000 square-foot ambulatory-care facility and
a 45,000 square-foot medical office. As a sidebar, in discussions
subsequent to the site plan approval, staff was advised that
Presbyterian still had plans to eventually develop this center.
When that will occur has not been determined. At any rate, the
vacant 7.7 acres to the east of the Presbyterian buildings is the
subject of this application and needs to be replatted to establish
the exact area of purchase.
When property is replatted in the City of Coppell, staff requires
additional information to justify the request. Generally, a site
plan is sufficient to explain why and how the property might be
developed. Although this applicant provides us with an
illustration showing a possible layout for the vacant 7.7 acres, be
cautioned that this is a conceptual drawing only. The exhibit
also illustrates a general idea of how the property in Lewisville
Item #7
Page 3 of 3
(where townhouses are shown east of the proposed replat area)
relates to the land in Coppell. We have been advised by
Lewisville that the townhouse concept was approved showing
10l, 2-3 story units being allowed on the property, with
office/retail/commercial development (to a depth of 300 feet or
so) being proposed along the 121 frontage. Based upon the
concept plan submitted with this replat application, the
conceptual uses proposed in Coppell consisting of
commercial/office/retail would track with the Lewisville plan
and be in conformance with our Master Plan.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of this replat subject to the
following condition:
1. Before this replat can be developed, further platting will
be required to show fire lanes, r.o.w.’s , etc.
2. Change note on face of plat (assuming Lot 1A will be
developed as currently approved) to state additional
platting will be required prior to development of Lot 1B,
Block D.
3. Discuss and determine utility service with our
Engineering Department.
ALTERNATIVES
1) Recommend approval of the request
2) Recommend disapproval of the request
3) Recommend modification of the request

HISTORY: On March 11, 2003, City Council approved a Site Plan and Minor
Plat to allow for the construction of a 6,293 square-foot office
building for Champions School of Real Estate.
TRANSPORTATION:Denton Tap Road is a six-lane divided roadway, within 120’ of right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- Bank One and Denton Creek Elementary School; C and SF-
7 (Commercial and Single Family-7)
South and East – Smart Start School; C (Commercial) zoning
West - Greenbelt/Flood Plain; PD-133-FP (Planned Development-
133- Flood Plain)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
regional retail uses.
DISCUSSION: This request is to allow for a 20 square-foot sign to be placed on the west
elevation of this 6,293 square-foot building. When the Site Plan was
approved, one year ago, the elevations indicated one sign on the north side of
the building and a monument sign at the corner of Denton Tap and Natches
Trace. These signs have been installed. The applicant is now requesting one
additional sign on the west side of the building, which is identical to the sign
on the north elevation, to allow for visibility from northbound Denton Tap.
This building has over 120 feet of building frontage; therefore, these two
signs (totaling 40-square feet) is in compliance with the Sign regulations of
the Zoning Ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the Site Plan Amendment to allow for an
additional sign for Champions School of Real Estate, with no conditions.
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.

Item #8
Page 2 of 3
HISTORY: This property has a zoning history that goes back to the late 1980’s.
A single-family Planned Development zoning classification was
granted on the land in 1989 and had a provision allowing a maximum
of 16 residential lots (even though the plan drawing submitted with
the application showed 14 lots—a note on the PD stated a maximum
of 16 lots could be developed). That PD is presently undeveloped,
and the current applicant wishes to proceed with development
allowed during the PD hearing process conducted in 1989. On
October 14, 2003, Council approved a preliminary plat that reflected
a 16-lot subdivision pattern allowed by the Planned Development
district.
TRANSPORTATION: There are no major or secondary thoroughfares in the area. This
subdivision would be an extension of an existing residential street,
Hidden Valley Drive. Residential streets have a r-o-w of 50 feet and
a street width of 27 feet, with curb/gutter and sidewalks.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- single-family residences; SF-9
South – single-family residences; SF-12
East- single-family residences; SF-12
West- single-family development and church: SF-9 and C (Commercial)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The 1996 Comprehensive Master Plan shows the property
as suitable for low-density residential uses.
DISCUSSION: As stated in the Staff Report prepared for the preliminary plat application
filed in October: “…this property was zoned as a 16-lot residential
Planned Development in 1989. There currently exists five houses within
the area—the land seller’s home, which is within the PD and will be torn
down--and four additional homes built in the late ‘80’s (outside the
boundaries of the Planned Development zoning), which will remain. The
current plan closely approximates the original approval and basically adds
only an “eyebrow” on the west side to get a more efficient lot pattern. The
completed project will include a concrete street extending from the asphalt
end of Hidden Valley Drive, curb/gutter and sidewalks throughout the
subdivision, with the exception of the lots at the northwest corner of the
property referenced above as being outside the PD boundaries. Lot sizes
within the development will range from slightly over 12,000 square-feet
up to and exceeding 20,000 feet. There are sanitary, drainage and utility
easement issues to be resolved, and they are addressed in the conditions
section of this Staff Report. There are also tree mitigation concerns that
Item #8
Page 3 of 3
must be addressed before development can occur on the site and again,
they are addressed in the staff conditions recommendation”. In addition,
Park Development fees in the amount of $20,560 are also a requirement
for development of these sixteen lots.
All of these issues are being addressed at the present time and are
reflected in our conditional approval of this Final Plat.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of this application, subject to the
following conditions:
1) Sidewalks will be required throughout this subdivision
but do not apply to Lot 1 of Block A nor to Lots 1 and 2
of Block B.
2) Hidden Valley Drive will be constructed to current City
standards, and a detail of the transition from the existing
Hidden Valley Drive into this subdivision is needed.
3) This property generates a $20,560 Park Development
