RE: Consider approval of an ordinance abandoning a 50-foot wide construction
easement across portions of Tracts 3.2, 3.3 and 5 of the B.B.B. and C.R.R. Survey,
Abstract 1772 (northeast corner of S.H. 121 and Coppell Rd.) in favor of the
property owners of record of the real property; and authorizing the Mayor to sign.
.
In 1979, the City of Coppell obtained a 20-foot wide easement for the installation of a sanitary
sewer line. The legal description for the easement, which was filed in Volume 79074, Page 0047
in 1979, also contained a description of a 50-foot wide construction easement. Typically
construction easements are temporary in nature and are only necessary for the length of
construction time. In this particular case, the construction easement was file of record with the
permanent easement. The City of Coppell no longer has need of, or desire to retain the 50-foot
wide construction easement.
The property owner has approached the city about abandoning our rights to that construction
easement. The original document from 1979 reads as though the entire permanent and
construction easement was obtained from the Stanton tract. The Stanton tract is currently in the
development process being platted as Cowboy Creek Addition. In reviewing the boundary survey
and the abstract maps, it’s my opinion that the easement not only pertains to the Stanton tract, but
a portion of the construction easement also is on the tracts to the north, which are tracts 3.2 and
3.3. owned by Rebecca Ann Adams. The intent of this ordinance is to abandon the entire 50-foot
wide construction easement to the real property owners, whomever they may be.
The City of Coppell supports the abandonment of the 50-foot construction easement and will be
available to answer any questions at the Council meeting.

MEMORANDUM
FROM THE
DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E., Director of Engineering/Public Works
Date: May 11, 2004
RE: Consider approval of an ordinance amending Section 8-3-1 of the Code of Ordinances for
the City of Coppell establishing 20 miles per hour as the maximum prima facie speed limit
on Oak Grove Lane; and authorizing the Mayor to sign.
The City of Coppell recently received a request from a citizen who lives on Oak Grove Lane with concerns
about speeding. Oak Grove is a dead-end street approximately 935 feet long. There are 23 residential lots
that front onto Oak Grove Lane. There are no alleys or sidewalks along Oak Grove Lane. The roadway
itself is a typical 20-foot wide asphalt roadway with barrow ditches. We have recently had several requests
for reduced speed limits on roads with similar characteristics. Two of those include Meadowcreek/Rolling
Hills and Fieldcrest Loop.
The Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and Procedures for establishing Speed Zones,
published by the Texas Department of Transportation, lists several factors to be considered in addition to
the 85th percentile speed, in setting speed limits. Those factors include items such as: road surface
characteristics, shoulder condition, grade, alignment, sight distance, pavement widths, roadside
development, parking practices, pedestrian activity, any accident history, number of driveways and the 85th
percentile speed. All of these factors should be considered in establishing the speed limit.
On December 6, 1971, the City of Coppell established a speed limit of 20 mph on Oak Grove Lane by
approval of Ordinance No. 77. The legal speed limit on Oak Grove Lane remained 20 mph until October
9, 1979 when City Council approved Ordinance No. 203, which set the speed limit on all residential streets
at 30 mph. Up until the approval of that ordinance there were numerous street within the City of Coppell
that had 15, 20 and 25 mph speed limits. It is my opinion that the approval of Ordinance No. 203, in 1979,
was an attempt by the City of Coppell to be in compliance with state law, which establishes the legal speed
limit as 30 mph upon all streets, unless a speed study has been conducted to set a different speed limit.
One of my concerns after driving Oak Grove Lane was the parking practices along the roadway. Most
households seemed to have a vehicle parked along the roadway partially in the roadway and partially on
the shoulder of the roadway. As I stated, there are no sidewalks along Oak Grove Lane, therefore any
pedestrian activity along the roadway forces pedestrians directly into the roadway.
Because of the roadway width, lack of sidewalks, driveway intersections and the parallel parking practices
along the roadway, it is my opinion that the speed limit should be reduced from 30 mph to 20 mph.
Staff will be available to answer any questions at the Council meeting.

Date: May 11, 2004
RE: Consider approval of awarding Bid/Contract #Q-0204-02 for the construction of the
Shadow Ridge Estates Retaining Wall project to Craig Olden, Inc., in the amount of $81,300
as funded in the 1999 Capital Improvement Program; and authorizing the City Manager to
sign.
.
On April 20, 2004, the City of Coppell received and opened three bids for the reconstruction of a retaining
wall within the Shadow Ridge Estates subdivision. The retaining wall in question is immediately east of
the intersection of Plantation Dr. and Southern Belle Dr., and immediately south of the alley along the
southern edge of the Wynnpage subdivision. The current retaining wall is a cross-tie retaining wall, which
is the main support for the alley within the Wynnpage subdivision. While the greater concern with the
existing retaining wall today is the potential failure and damage to the alley in Wynnpage, this area was
also identified in the 1991 City Wide Storm Water Management Study as an erosive area that needed
attention. This was before the construction of the Wynnpage subdivision to the north. This project was
also identified by the Bond Advisory sub-committee for inclusion in the bond election of 1999.
The apparent low bidder on the project was Vortex Construction Company in an amount of $67,168.
However, upon review of their bid proposal it was noted that they had made errors on six pay items.
Those six pay items all dealt with the unit price for quantities, as opposed to lump sum pricing. Using the
unit price contained within the Vortex bid and multiplying it times the quantity, gives the adjusted prices
as shown on the attached bid tabulation. Utilizing the adjusted prices, Vortex’s bid comes out to $94,298.
Even if their intent was $67,168, the language within the specifications states that the unit price times the
quantity is the method to obtain the actual bid. The specification specifically state under award of contact
“discrepancies in the multiplication of units of work in unit prices will be resolved in favor of the unit
prices”. It also states that “discrepancies between the indicated sum of any column of figures and the
correct sum thereof will be resolved in favor of the correct sum”. So therefore, again utilizing the unit
price and tabulating the correct sum, Vortex became the second low bidder, not the low bidder.
Therefore, the lowest qualified bidder on this project was Craig Olden, Inc., in the amount of $81,300.
The project itself is a gabion wall and Craig Olden, Inc., is the industry leader in the construction of gabion
walls.
Staff recommends the award of the Shadowridge Estates Retaining Wall project to Craig Olden, Inc., in

MEMORANDUM
FROM THE
DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Keith R. Marvin, P.E., Civil Engineer
Date: May 11, 2004
RE: Consider approval of awarding Bid/Contract #Q-0404-01 to Fox Contractors,
Inc. for the construction of Coppell Road / Service Center 18” Sanitary Sewer
Line in an amount of $202,036, as provided for in water and sewer CIP funds;
and authorizing the City Manager to sign.
On April 27, 2004 the City of Coppell received and opened ten bids for the construction of
Coppell Road / Service Center 18” Sanitary Sewer Line. This sewer line runs from the west side
of Coppell Road due east for approximately 1900 linear feet to the east side of Grapevine Creek.
See the attached exhibit for additional information on the location of the line.
This project is being constructed to replace an existing 12” line that has out lived its design life.
There is an aerial crossing (where the sewer line comes out of the ground and is supported by
piers) across Grapevine Creek that has become a maintenance problem, and a potential
environmental concern. The new line will be larger, which will allow for additional capacity,
and it will be installed parallel to the existing line. A new aerial crossing will be constructed,
and the old one will be demolished and removed from the creek area. The line will then tie into
a 24” line that was constructed in 1994 with the intention of accepting this new line.
The project will cross only one street (Coppell Road) and the contractor will construct that
portion of line by boring under the roadway. This will allow for continuous traffic flow
throughout construction. The rest of the line will be constructed within property owned or
maintained by the City of Coppell.
The low bidder on the project was Fox Contractors Inc. of Midlothian, TX, with a bid amount of
$202,036. This contractor has performed work within the City of Coppell in the past, is in good
standing with the city, and is capable of completing the project.
The Engineering Department designed this project in-house, and our estimate of cost was
$250,000 for the construction. The bids ranged from the low bid of $202,036 to a high bid of
$444,807.
Staff recommends award of the contract for the construction of Coppell Road / Service Center
18” Sanitary Sewer Line to Fox Contractors Inc. in an amount of $202,036, with an estimated
completion time of 90 calendar days.
Staff will be available to answer any questions at the Council meeting.

MEMORANDUM
FROM THE
DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E., Director of Engineering/Public Works
Date: May 11, 2004
RE: Consider approval of awarding Bid/Contract #Q-1203-01 to MasTec North
America, Inc., for the construction of Deforest Road Lift Station Improvements
Force Main Line ‘D’ in an amount of $2,364,835.54, as provided for in water and
sewer CIP funds; and authorizing the City Manager to sign.
.
On February 10, 2004, the City of Coppell received and opened eleven bids for the construction
of Force Main Line ‘D’. Force Main Line ‘D’ generally runs from the intersection of Deforest
Road and MacArthur Blvd. to the Sandy Lake Road Lift Station that is located southeast of the
intersection of MacArthur/Sandy Lake, adjacent to the vacant shopping center. It will be installed
in the median of MacArthur Blvd. to its intersection with south Village Parkway. It will then go
east on Village Parkway, in front of Lakeside Elementary School, and turn south into the city’s
water tank site, going beneath Sandy Lake Road and ending at the Sandy Lake Road Lift Station
(see exhibit).
The project was bid two ways:
1) The standard open cut method, which would require an open trench along the median of
MacArthur Blvd. for the entire distance.
There were six bids for the open-cut method, which is noted as Alternative II on the bid
tabulation. Those bids range from $2,593,996.01 to a high of $3,336,913.80. The latest
engineer’s estimate for the open-cut method was $2,225,200.
2) The directional drilling alternate shown in the bid tabulation as Alternative I.
The City of Coppell received five bids for the directional drilling, ranging from $2,364,835.54 to
a high of $3,193,570. The latest engineer’s estimate for the open cut method was $2,337,200.
The advantage of the directional drilling method is that for long stretches the MacArthur Blvd.
median surface would not be disturbed i.e., there would be an opportunity to save existing trees
and landscaping. The drawback to the directional drilling method is that the machinery is quite
large, in this case the machine itself is approximately 50 foot long. The operation is noisy and
messy. Drilling mud is used with the operation, thereby creating the opportunity for mud to be on
the streets and invariable at times there is what is called a “frac out”. Sometimes this happens
during the process of forcing the drilling mud into the bore area when a weak strata is
encountered at which time the mud finds the weakest point and in some cases it is in an upward
"CITY OF COPPELL ENGINEERING - EXCELLENCE BY DESIGN"
motion, thereby creating a “geyser” of drilling mud. This line is proposed to be installed fairly
deep to hopefully minimize the opportunity for “frac outs”.
The over all low bidder on the project is MasTec North America, Inc. for the directional drilling
option at a cost of $2,364,835.54. Since the bid opening to the present time, we have been
working with MasTec to insure their qualifications for this type of installation. It is a fairly new
operation to install large diameter pipe using the directional drilling concept. Directional drilling
has been used all around the city in various locations by utility companies installing smaller
diameter pipes. Again, it is a fairly new technique to install the larger diameter pipes. It is even
more new to install larger diameter pipes using directional drilling in an urban setting. A good
portion of the directional drilling projects with large diameter pipes are beneath lakes, open fields,
oil fields., etc. Therefore, we spent some time meeting with the apparent low bidder, MasTec, to
obtain not only additional information about their expertise in this method, but about actual
operators of the equipment during construction.
Also, there was one bid requirement that MasTec did not meet. This was a requirement for the
directional drilling companies to own a 300,000-pound drilling rig. When MasTec began
working on putting their bid together in early 2004 for this project they did own a 500,000-pound
drilling rig. However, prior to submitting their bid, MasTec sold the larger rig because of
economic reasons and the shortage of work for the large size directional drilling rig.
The intent by the City in including the requirement for the 300,000-pound directional drill rig was
to insure that the low bidder of the directional drilling alternative was qualified to perform this
time of work. The first mention of the requirement for the 300,000-pound drilling rig was in the
“quality assurance and quality control” section of the specifications. The second mention in the
specifications concerning the 300,000-pound drilling rig was under the “materials and/or
equipment” section.
I have discussed this issue with Bob Hagar, City Attorney, as to whether or not the city is
exposing itself to liability by awarding this to MasTec. Mr. Hagar inquired as to the intent of the
requirement and it is quite obvious from the first placement in the specifications and from my
conversations with Mr. Hagar that the requirement was placed to insure that there was quality
control with the lower bidder. Mr. Hagar has indicated that because the requirement was placed
to insure quality control, so long as we can insure that the low bidder meets our requirements for
quality control we can award the contract to MasTec.
I have recently met with representatives from MasTec concerning job experience and operators
for this project. One project in particular, completed in January 2002 by MasTec, was
approximately a 7200 foot directional drill in downtown Mandan, North Dakota. That particular
project closely resembles the project for the City of Coppell. Obviously, MasTec had numerous
other project references but they were not in an urban setting. The operator of the equipment for
this project for MasTec is from Edmonton, Alberta. This person has utilized equipment ranging
in size up to 750,000 pounds rigs, while installing pipe sizes ranging up to 42” in diameter. Our
pipe size is 30” in diameter.
This project is a companion project to the Force Main Lines ‘A’ and ‘B’ awarded by City Council
on March 23, 2004. It is also the second in a series of projects to be awarded for the
rehabilitation of the lift stations and force mains.
"CITY OF COPPELL ENGINEERING - EXCELLENCE BY DESIGN"
The City anticipates beginning the bidding process on the rehabilitation of the Sandy Lake Road
Lift Station and the complete rebuild of the Deforest Road Lift Station in May 2004, with a

HISTORY: The property is currently zoned a 2F-9 District. City Council approved the plat
on December 8, 1998, allowing for a two-lot subdivision, with each lot fronting a
public street (Sandy Lake). As shown on the attached, the approved Conceptual
Site Plan depicts two residences attached by a breezeway (duplex) on a lot
commonly referred to as a “flag lot.” There was no site plan approved for the
Item #4
Page 2 of 6
front lot. That plat was approved with two exceptions to the Subdivision
Ordinance. These were stated as follows:
1. “The fire lane to be platted with a 24' wide easement. However, actual
width of fire lane can be 16 feet if the notation ‘All residential
structures to be equipped with a functioning fully automatic fire
sprinkler system. If the fire sprinkler systems are removed or cease to
function, a full twenty-four feet (24’) wide fire lane shall be installed.’
and
2. Gates shall be at each point of entry.”
The Board of Adjustment met prior to the City Council meeting and granted two
additional variances.
1. Garage access shall not be from the adjacent alleyway.
2. A masonry wall is allowed at the front yard of property on Sandy
Lake.
The Planning Commission reviewed a rezoning request to PD-SF12 on
February 19, 2004, and continued the case to April 15, 2004, in order for the
applicant to provide staff sufficient plans to review.
TRANSPORTATION:Sandy Lake Road currently is a substandard, two-lane asphalt road, which
is designated on the Thoroughfare Plan to be a four-lane divided
thoroughfare. The adjacent right-of-way is 100’ and is sufficient
for the proposed expansion. No additional right-of-way will be
necessary.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North – single-family homes on approx. 4,000-sq. ft. lots; PD-148
South – single-family homes on approx. 15,350-sq. ft. lots; SF-7
East - single-family homes on approx. 4,000-sq. ft. lots; PD-148
West - single-family homes on an approx. five acre lots; SF-12
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable for low-density residential development.
DISCUSSION: This is a proposed rezoning from a Two Family–9 district (duplex) to a
Planned Development, Single Family–12 district to allow the development
of four homes on approximately ½-acre lots. Because the intensity of the
potential development will be the same as the currently approved plan
(each allowing four units) and given the configuration of this land, staff
gave special consideration to the request for single-family lots, which do
Item #4
Page 3 of 6
not front a public street. From a land-use perspective, the proposed SF-12
zoning would provide an appropriate transition from the zero-lot-line
development to the east and the large five-acre development to the west.
However, there are significant technical issues and insufficient information
that force staff to recommend denial of this request.
Staff views each development proposal as a new request, and reevaluates the
previously granted exceptions/variances to ensure today’s standards are met.
The exceptions previously approved are listed above in the HISTORY
section.
The applicant is requesting the following exceptions for this planned
development:
1. The public street frontage requirement – A fire lane, utility, and
access easement will provide each lot with emergency access.
2. 24’ pavement of fire lane requirement – A 20’ width fire lane is
proposed. This private drive/fire lane is recommended for
approval by the Interim Fire Marshal, subject to a gated connection
being made to the alley to the north, allowing for emergency
vehicles to exit, and not back onto Sandy Lake Road. Because the
fire lane is not a proposed through street and only serves four
units, the private drive was given special consideration. This will
not set precedence for any other fire lane width variances within
the City and is only relevant to this case.
The applicant has provided a 24’-fire lane within a 24’-easement to
satisfy the Fire Department’s requirements. The public street frontage
exception is still requested.
The details of the Planned Development are not clear at this time. The
plan for the gated entry, including queuing/stacking spaces, turnaround area,
paving and functionality of the gate was not submitted. The Streetscape Plan
calls for a 15’-landscape easement. This is shown on the plans, but the actual
Landscape Plan was not submitted. The color boards and elevations for the
proposed masonry walls and gate are not submitted.
The applicant included some and excluded some of the required
details of the Planned Development with this re-submittal. The plan
for the gated entry was included as a detail on the site plan. It depicts
the length and width dimensions, but does not include the
queuing/stacking spaces or turnaround area. The plan also presents
traffic conflicts between those entering and exiting, as the keypad is
shown on the western side of the drive. This would require a vehicle
entering the development to be on the wrong side of the road when
activating the keypad. The gate is proposed to swing inward, presenting
Item #4
Page 4 of 6
another potential conflict with vehicles waiting to exit. The Streetscape
Plan calls for a 15’-landscape easement along Sandy Lake, which is
shown on the Site Plan. A Landscape Plan and the elevations for the
proposed masonry wall were submitted. The gate elevations and the
color boards, however, were not.
The circular drives for each lot, as discussed in previous meetings with the
applicant, are not shown. These would provide an area for visitors to park,
giving an alternate to parking within the proposed firelane, which is
prohibited.
The concern regarding parking within the fire lane was addressed by the
applicant in noting that three parking spaces will be required for each
lot off of the fire, utility, and access easement. These would provide an
area for visitors to park, giving an alternate to parking within the
proposed fire lane, which is prohibited. Staff suggested circular drives
for each lot, but the applicant wants to leave that decision up to the
individual homebuilder.
The planned development does not show sufficient front-yard setback lines
from the fire lane, access, and utility easement. These were recommended to
be the same as single-family frontage along a public road. The base zoning
district requested is SF-12; therefore, 30’ was recommended to be shown in
accordance with the district’s requirements. The applicant did not provide
the recommended setback.
There were discussions with the applicant regarding screening along the
western boundary. There is a tree row containing a few gaps located on or
near the western boundary. The tree survey (taken from 1998) submitted
shows that none of these are on the applicant’s property. In a site visit, it
appeared that the trees were directly on the property line (aligning with the
wooden survey stakes). An up-to-date tree survey needs to be submitted,
which was also missing from the application. There needs to be some sort of
solid screen due to the irregular placement of houses on these lots (frontage
to the backyards of the large lots to the west). Staff recommends a solid
landscaping screen along the western boundary. A Landscape Plan for this
area would need to be submitted.
Since the previous submission, the tree survey was updated and includes
the tree row spanning the western boundary. No trees were proposed to
fill in the gaps. Staff still has concerns and recommends a plan be
determined by the Planning and Zoning Commission requiring “fill-in”
trees.
Item #4
Page 5 of 6
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
At the February 19, 2004, meeting, staff recommended DENIAL of the
requested rezoning due to an insufficient planned development submittal
package. The package did not contain the following information that is
required to make a prudent recommendation:
After reconsideration, staff is now recommending APPROVAL of the
rezoning. subject to the following conditions (in bold) being addressed:
1. Details of the gated entry, including queuing/stacking spaces,
turnaround area, paving and functionality of the gate. Dimensions
shown within a detail. Show queuing/stacking spaces, and
demonstrate how turnaround will function. Address traffic
conflict with the keypad being on the western side of the drive.
Coordinate the exact location and specifications for the stained
stamped concrete entryway relative to the proposed widening
of Sandy Lake Road with Engineering.
2. Overall Landscape Plan including landscaping for the 15’-landscape
easement. Landscape Plan submitted. Revise to include Cedar
Elms as the dominant street tree per the Streetscape Plan.
3. Color boards and elevations of masonry walls (including gate)
proposed. Elevations of the masonry wall were submitted. The
plans still lack the masonry wall brick color, its tie-in at the
Summer Place wall and the gate elevations.
4. Circular drives on each lot for guest parking. These were not
shown. A note was added to the site plan requiring 3 parking
spaces per lot off of the fire lane.
5. Front yard building line for each lot, being measured from the eastern
boundary of the fire lane, utility, and access easement, as well as
Sandy Lake Road. Revise building footprint accordingly. This was
intentionally left at a 45’-building line measured from the
western property line. Staff recommends a 64’-building line,
which would reduce our concern with inadequate setbacks.
6. Details on a visual buffer between the subdivision and the western
properties as the proposed lots front to the backyards of the existing
large lots to the west. Visual buffer not shown. Show proposed
trees to fill gaps within tree row on western boundary of
subdivision.
7. Current tree survey. Tree Survey submitted. Revise to reflect all
requirements of Section 34-2-8 of the Tree Ordinance.
8. Note garage access shall only be from the existing alleys.
9. Refer to the attached Engineering comments for additional
requirements.

HISTORY: The property is currently zoned a 2F-9 district. City Council approved a plat on
December 8, 1998, for a two-lot subdivision, with each lot fronting a public street
(Sandy Lake). As shown on the attached, the approved Conceptual Site Plan
depicts two residences attached by a breezeway (duplex) on a lot commonly
referred to as a “flag lot.” There was no Site Plan approved for the front lot. This
plat was approved with two exceptions to the Subdivision Ordinance. These were
stated as follows:
1. “The fire lane to be platted with a 24' wide easement. However, actual
width of fire lane can be 16 feet if the notation ‘All residential

structures to be equipped with a functioning fully automatic fire
sprinkler system. If the fire sprinkler systems are removed or cease to

and
2. Gates shall be at each point of entry.”
The Board of Adjustment met prior to the City Council meeting and granted two
additional variances.
1. Garage access shall not be from the adjacent alleyway.
2. A masonry wall is allowed at the front yard of property on Sandy
Lake.
The Planning and Zoning Commission denied the replat for this property on
February 19, 2004, due to insufficient information necessary to approve the
zoning change.
TRANSPORTATION:Sandy Lake Road currently is a substandard, two-lane asphalt road, which is
designated on the Thoroughfare Plan to be a four-lane divided
thoroughfare. The adjacent right-of-way is 100’ and is sufficient for
the proposed expansion. No additional right-of-way will be
necessary.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North – single-family homes on approx. 4,000 sq. ft. lots; PD-148
South – single-family homes on approx. 15,350 sq. ft. lots; SF-7
East - single-family homes on approx. 4,000 sq. ft. lots; PD-148
West - single-family homes on an approx. five acre lots; SF-12
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable for low-density residential development.
DISCUSSION: This is a proposed replat from a two-lot subdivision to a four-lot
subdivision. Concurrently, the applicant is requesting a rezoning of the
property from Two Family–9 district to Planned Development-Single
Family–12 district to allow the development of four homes on
approximately ½-acre lots.
Staff views each development as a new case, and reevaluates the
previously granted exceptions/variances to ensure today’s standards are
met. The exceptions previously approved for this property are listed above
in the HISTORY section. The applicant is requesting two exceptions to
the Subdivision Ordinance at this time:
Item #5
Page 3 of 4
1. The public street frontage requirement – As an alternate to these lots
fronting on a dedicated street, a fire lane, utility, and access easement
will provide each lot with emergency access.
2. 24’ pavement of fire lane requirement – A 20’-width fire lane is
proposed. This private drive/fire lane is recommended for approval by
the Interim Fire Marshal, subject to a gated connection being made to
the alley to the north allowing emergency vehicles to exit, and not
back onto Sandy Lake Road. Because the fire lane is not a proposed
through street and only serves four units, the private drive was given
special consideration. This will not set precedence for any other fire
lane width variances within the City and is only relevant to this case.
The applicant has provided a 24’-fire lane within a 24’-easement to
satisfy the Fire Department’s requirements. The public street
frontage exception is still requested.
Because the details of the Planned Development-Single Family–12
development are not clear at this time, staff cannot recommend granting
the exception to the public road frontage requirement of the Subdivision
Ordinance allowing for a private gated drive. We cannot recommend
denial of a rezoning application and turn around and recommend approval
of a plat, which reflects that same development pattern.
As described in the HISTORY section of this report, the Planning
Commission denied this plat in February. It was denied because of
inadequate information in the Planned Development zoning change
case. If all of the issues have been resolved, staff can recommend
approval of the replat.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending DENIAL of the requested replat due to inadequate
submittal of information. Staff is recommending APPROVAL of the
requested replat, subject to the following conditions:
1. Note zoning of property on plat.
2. Place the entire screening wall and gate within the Landscape
easement, and add the easement to the HOA maintenance note on
the plat.
3. Show a 64’-Building Line in the front yards of the proposed lots.
4. Present a draft copy of the Homeowners Association documents
for review by the City Attorney prior to submittal of the plat to
the City for signatures.

years. The trailer court was eliminated when Verizon constructed the
mid-rise office building just south of this request in the late 90’s.

East - Vacant flood plain; PD-160/FP (Planned Development for apartment

West - State Highway 121; A (Agriculture)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
light industrial/showroom and related uses.
DISCUSSION: The Special Use Permit application stated the intended use here as
“miniature golf, batting cages and amusement building.” The Coppell
Comprehensive Plan shows the parcel being utilized for
industrial/showroom development, so the requested activity, being a less
intensive use, would generally fit into that category. In addition to being
much less intense than industrial, the current zoning is C (Commercial),
which makes the proposal a much better zoning fit, especially with the site
plan showing retention of a majority of the mature tree cover on the site.
The development plan submitted to staff shows respect for the existing
vegetation, and some care has been exercised in attempting to work
around the existing tree locations. For the most part, trees to be removed
from the site are located in required parking areas, and a majority of the
site will conserve the existing tree stock. The golf course has been
designed with the existing locations of mature trees dictating hole
locations. In addition, the applicant has meandered his sidewalk along
Coppell Road to further preserve the existing tree cover.
The design of the main building respects the exterior appearance
guidelines of the City, and the use of dark brick and natural stone makes
for an attractive facility. The roof area is substantial, but the inclusion of
dormers reduces the massive appearance of the structure. Signage has
been kept to a minimum and complies with our sign regulations. There is
some concern with the appearance of the batting cage in that it has
screening extending over 40 feet in the air. The cages are, however, set on
a slope, and the height of the screen is somewhat diminished by the
natural slope of the site. In addition, if the netting screen were black and
the structural elements a dark or earth tone color, it would further reduce
the appearance of this structure. More information is needed regarding
design, color and height of this use. The applicant has provided a birds-
eye perspective of the concept of this use, which generally depicts the
layout of the development.
We do have some concerns with this proposal. At first blush, this
application appears to be primarily a miniature golf course and batting
Page 3 of 4
Item # 6
cage request. Upon closer observation, there are several additional uses
proposed for this site. There is a billiard room containing two pool tables,
a 3,300-square-foot video gaming area, five party rooms and a 2,900-
square-foot dining space (restaurant). In applying parking standards to
these various uses, parking becomes a concern. At a minimum, the
applicant is required to provide 110 parking spaces—his site plan shows
112. Our calculations are based upon 1/100 for restaurant and indoor
amusement, but does not consider additional parking needed for the
miniature golf course, batting cages, and picnic area. With 36 holes of
miniature golf, a rule of thumb (and the Dallas requirement) of 1 parking
space per each 100-square feet of golf area suggests 50 additional spaces.
Quite frankly, we do not have a miniature golf or batting cage parking
standard in the Coppell Zoning Ordinance, but there is no question in
staff’s mind that additional parking needs to be provided. The applicant
needs to address this issue to the satisfaction of the Planning Commission
and City Council. He also needs to acknowledge the requirements of the
Parks Department as stated in the attached review comments.
In the past, there has been public criticism directed toward video arcades,
and senior staff members remember an earlier zoning case (back in the
early 90’s) in which a similar arcade use was denied because of the
perceived negative reputation these facilities had generated. It would be
prudent to explore with the applicant how this arcade will be managed and
how supervision of visitors will be exercised.
There are other concerns that need to be addressed by this applicant, and
they are outlined in the Staff Recommendations section of this report.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of this request with several
conditions needing to be addressed, including:
Site Plan
1) Monument sign cannot exceed 40-square feet in size.
2) Specify width, length and height of all structures being

HISTORY: There has been no zoning or platting history on the subject property; however, as the
abutting properties sold and developed, various mutual access and utility easements
have been established, which impact the development of this property. These
easements will be discussed in detail under the DISCUSSION section of this
report.
TRANSPORTATION:Sandy Lake Road is built as a four-lane divided thoroughfare within 100’ of
right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North – Peanut Gallery Day Care Center- C (Commercial)
South –Single-family residential - Northlake Woodlands East Phase 2 (PD-
91-SF-7)
East – Vacant – C (Commercial)
West - UPS Office – C (Commercial)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable for neighborhood retail uses.
DISCUSSION: The applicant desires to construct a medical office building in two phases.
Phase 1 will be 3,572-square feet and Phase 2 will add 1,228-square feet
of building area for a total of 4,800-square feet. The total building can be
accommodated with the 30 parking spaces built in the initial phase of this
development.
This property is impacted by various easements previously dedicated by
separate instruments. Specifically, when the adjoining properties to the north
and west were developed, access and fire-lane easements were established.
Along the northern boundary of this tract, an existing concrete driveway
provides access from the day care to the north and the UPS facility on the
west, to Samuel Boulevard. The existing driveway on Sandy Lake Road
will be shared by the subject tract and the existing facility to the west. This
driveway allows access to the existing full median opening on Sandy Lake
Road. This area will also be designated as a fire lane and platted as such.
The landscape plan meets City requirements, having 34% of the site devoted
to landscaping. Per the Streetscape Plan, Cedar Elms are proposed as street
trees along Sandy Lake Road, and internal to the site, Live Oak trees will be
planted. The parking lot areas and mechanical equipment (air conditioning
units, etc.) will be screened by a hedgerow of Dwarf Yaupon Holly. Staff is
Item # 8
Page 3 of 4
requesting that the electrical meters attached to the building be painted to
match, as closely as possible, the color of the brick/stone to which they are
mounted.
The building will be a combination of red brick and Austin stone, being used
as accent material around the door and along the base. This building will
have an 8- to 12-roof pitch, with a total building height of 31’ 4”. Along the
east and west elevations, there are gable areas approximately 30-square feet
in size. These areas are designated on the elevations as “siding”. While the
overall building is compliant with the 80% masonry requirement (81%), the
siding areas appear to be out of scale and should be modified with the
addition of vents/dormers or similar architectural treatment. Also, the actual
color of the proposed siding needs to be specified. It is recommended that
the color of the siding match the brick color of the building to improve the
appearance of these gables.
The site plan also indicates a monument sign to be placed approximately in
the middle of the tract, generally meeting the setbacks required by the Sign
Ordinance of 75 feet from property lines. However, the Sign Ordinance also
states that on lots less than 2 acres in size, the maximum height of the sign is
4 feet, with a maximum 40-square feet in size. The sign shown on the site
plan is labeled as 40-square feet in size; however, it measures 56-square feet,
and 5 feet in height. Otherwise, the design, materials and external
illumination is in compliance with the provisions of the Sign Ordinance.
There are several technical and drafting issues, which need to be corrected.
There needs to be consistency in the labeling of the existing, proposed and
abandoned easements, within this document and on the plat. For example, the
recently established easements were filed as “drainage, utility and access
easements” and “cross access and drainage easements”; however, these areas
are labeled as “25’-access easement, concrete parking/paving traffic flow”,
and over that easement is a “24’-fire lane by this plat”, on the site plan. There
is also a question as to whether the easement closest to Sandy Lake has been
abandoned beyond this property. The site plan shows this easement, but the
plat does not. Finally, all utility information, water meters, service lines and
foot-candle measurements should be removed from the site plan.

square-foot medical office building. The subject tract has never been
platted, but the properties to the north and east were platted as part of the
Sandy Lake Addition in the early 1990’s. Various easements, including
access, utility, fire lane and drainage were established abutting and
traversing this tract over the past 14 years. In 1998, sufficient R.O.W. was
dedicated, by separate instrument, to allow for the expansion of Sandy
Lake Road. It also appears that when this property transferred ownership last
year, additional easements were established and various easements were
abandoned and re-established. These activities have resulted in various
conflicts and overlapping easements.
The existing concrete driveway along the northern border of this tract
provides access from the day care to the north and the UPS facility on the
west, to Samuel Boulevard. This easement was partially abandoned and re-
established last year as an access easement. This plat designates this area as
a fire lane easement. Just to the south of that easement, a drainage, utility
and access easement was established in 2003. The site plan indicates parking
and a driveway in this area. The applicant needs to verify that parking is
permitted within this easement.
Item # 9
Page 3 of 3
In the southern portion of this tract, the existing driveway on Sandy Lake
Road will be shared by the subject tract and the existing facility to the west.
This driveway allows access to the existing full median opening on Sandy
Lake Road. However, similar activities have occurred where easements were
dedicated and abandoned and rededicated. Specifically, the 24-foot wide
fire lane proposed by this plat overlays an existing, separately established
cross access and drainage easement. The site plan indicates that this cross
access easement extends beyond the eastern property line, but the plat
indicates it terminating at the property line. Again, the applicant needs to
confirm the location and configuration of this easement.
Finally, along the southern property line there appears to be an existing
TP&L easement, established in 2001, which does not appear on this plat.
