"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: September 14, 2004
RE: Consider approval of amending the contract with Freese and Nichols, Inc. for
the design of Bethel Road (from Denton Tap to Freeport Pkwy) and Coppell
Road (from Bethel Rd. north to Cooper Ln.) in an amount of $53,140 as
provided for in CIP funds; and authorizing the City Manager to sign.
On May 27, 2003 City Council approved a contract with Freese and Nichols, Inc. for the design of
Bethel Road (from Denton Tap to Freeport Pkwy) and a portion of Coppell Rd. (from Bethel Rd.
north to Cooper Ln.) During the course of the design of this project several issues have come up
which necessitated a request from Freese and Nichols for an adjustment to their design fee.
The following is a brief description of each pay item.
1) Item A of the Contract Change Authorization Form is for additional surveying.
During the original scoping of Bethel Road it was anticipated that only four parcels of right-of-
way would be required for this project. Originally, it was anticipated that right-of-way would
only be required from the Alexander tract and the First Baptist Church tract, at the intersection of
Bethel Rd. and Denton Tap. Rd.; and potentially one or two tracts in the downtown area on
Bethel Rd. During the course of the design, it has been noted that additional right-of-way will be
required for prescriptive right-of-way and also for corner clips at the intersecting streets. Each
right-of-way parcel required surveying to create the legal descriptions.
2) Items B, C & D of the Contract Change Authorization Form are associated with the Coppell
Road sanitary sewer line.
During the construction of the Coppell Town Homes the sewer line within the Coppell Town
Homes was tied into the existing sewer line in Coppell Rd. Prior to that connection being made,
the City TV’d the existing sanitary sewer to determine its condition. It was determined that the
existing sanitary sewer line should be replaced with the construction of Coppell Rd. The sewer
line is currently showing signs of deterioration; and constructing a new road over an old sewer
line could create problems in the future if the sewer line develops more extensive problems.
3) Item E on the Contract Change Authorization Form is related to the ongoing situation
associated with the “Water of the United States”.
Council may recall that the existing creek, south of the intersection of Freeport Pkwy. and Bethel
Rd. proceeding in an easterly direction and crossing Bethel Rd. east of Loch Lane and then
"CITY OF COPPELL ENGINEERING - EXCELLENCE BY DESIGN"
proceeding in a northerly and easterly direction across Coppell Rd. near the Senior Citizen’s
Center has been designated as ‘Waters of the United States’. Because of that designation, the
City an undertaken extensive evaluations of the creek and also reviewed items which the City
may be required to perform in order to construct the drainage associated with Bethel Rd. A large
part of that drainage consideration is contained within the Bethel Rd. project from Freeport
Pkwy. to the west city limits.
However, each change or modification made to the channel section with that project also
impacts the culverts beneath Bethel Rd. (near Loch Lane) and Coppell Rd. (north of the Senior
Citizens Center). This fee adjustment will modify the plans and also assist in obtaining
additional permitting required for working within the ‘Waters of the United States’.
4) Item F on the Contract Change Authorization Form pertains to an evaluation of the current
Bethel Rd. bridge, west of the entrance to the Springs subdivision.
During the design phase of Bethel Rd. there has been some concern expressed whether or not the
bridge could be rebuild without having to shut down Bethel Rd. for approximately six months.
We are currently exploring several options i.e., constructing the bridge in several phases, moving
the bridge north and acquiring additional right-of-way from the property north and leaving the
existing bridge in place while constructing the new bridge north. or evaluating the existing
bridge sub-structure to determine if the existing bridge can remain. The existing bridge is
somewhat lower than needed in regard to the 100-year floodplain elevation associated with
Grapevine Creek.
Again, this item is an analysis of the bridge section. If it is determined that the bridge cannot
remain, then at some point in the future an agenda item will be brought forth seeking approval to
close Bethel Rd. during the construction of the new bridge.
5) Item G on the Contract Change Authorization Form is additional general expense associated
with the increase in the contract.
The original request from Freese and Nichols, Inc. was for an increase of $76,900. Staff has met
with representatives of Freese and Nichols, Inc. to discuss several items associated with the increase
request. Therefore, the requested increase has been lowered to $53,140.
Staff recommends approval of the amendment to the contract with Freese and Nichols, Inc. in the
amount of $53,140 . Staff will be available to answer any questions at the Council meeting.

Dear Matt:
We respectfully request an eighteen month extension to the above referenced preliminary plat.
As we discussed, this extension has been made to provide the land owner with additional time to
market and sell the property to end-users and developers. The land owner started construction
on Phase I (an approximately 8,000 SF building) a few months ago. Based on the market
demand for this building and the balance of the property, the owner will formulate additional
development plans for the adjacent parcels.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions and/or comments. Thank you for your
attention to this matter.
Thank you.

TO: Jim Witt, City Manager
FROM: Jerod Anderson, Purchasing Agent
CC: Vivyon Bowman, Director of Human Resources
SUBJECT: ORDER AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF REGISTRATION BETWEEN CITY
OF COPPELL AND THE COOPERATIVE PURCHASING NETWORK (TCPN)
RECOMMENDATION: Adoption of attached resolution authorizing City of Coppell to register for THE
COOPERATIVE PURCHASING NETWORK (TCPN)
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no cost to participate in this program. Staff believes participation in this
program will produce fiscal benefits and will provide the best value to the agency/taxpayers of City of
Coppell through the anticipated savings to be realized by this program.
BACKGROUND: The City of Coppell currently participates where possible in a number of local, regional
and state cooperative purchasing programs. The goal is to aggregate our purchasing power with much
larger agencies thus saving City of Coppell money and maximizing the use of public funds. The
Cooperative Purchasing Network (TCPN) is the Region IV Education Service Center cooperative
purchasing program where government entities can provide the legally required competition for contracts
for commonly purchased items thereby saving the individual entity the cost of going through the
competitive process.
Several agencies in Texas are using this program and saving money for their communities. Since this
program is voluntary the City of Coppell can use the contracts that best fit our specific needs and
requirements. Listed below is a summary of the state statute that gives the City of Coppell authorization
to utilize cooperative purchasing programs in lieu of competitively bidding for the purchase of the goods
and services:
TEXAS STATUTE:
Government Code
Title 7. Intergovernmental Relations
Chapter 791 Interlocal Cooperation Contracts
Subchapter C. Specific Interlocal Contracting Authority
§ 791.001 GOV'T. Purpose
The purpose of this chapter is to increase the efficiency and
effectiveness of local governments by authorizing them to
contract, to the greatest possible extent, with one another and
with agencies of the state.
§ 791.003 GOV'T. Definitions
4) "Local government" means a:
(A) county, municipality, special district, or other political
subdivision of this state or another state ; or
(B) combination of two or more of those entities.
SECTION 2. Section 791.011 GOV'T, Government Code, is amended by
amending Subsection (b) and adding Subsection (g) to read as
follows:
(b) A party to an interlocal contract may contract with a:
(1) state agency, as that term is defined by Section 771.002; or
(2) similar agency of another state.
(g) A governmental entity of this state or another state that

South – park land; TC (Town Center)
East – park land; TC (Town Center)
West - park land; TC (Town Center)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable for park and open space use.
DISCUSSION: This is a request to locate three Verizon telecommunication antennas on a
replacement to one of the City’s light poles in Andrew Brown Park West.
More specifically, Verizon would like permission to replace a 70-foot
light tower with an 80-foot combination light and cell tower in close
proximity to the concession stand in Andy Brown West. Verizon plans to
utilize the additional ten feet of pole space to install three-
telecommunication antennae roughly 6-feet long by 6-inches wide by 3- to
4-inches deep. In addition, a 12-foot by 14-foot equipment shelter
approximately 8-9 feet tall and attached to the concession stand is also
requested for this site. As indicated by the applicant, the shelter will
match the existing brick of the concession stand and will not interfere with
any stand activities. That understanding will be a staff recommended
condition of approval of this request.
A lease agreement between the City and Verizon is being worked out and
will be an additional condition of approval. Our leases are generally set
up for five-year terms, have built-in escalators, and are renegotiated at the
end of the lease period. The applicant has stated agreement with these
guidelines.
Entrance to the equipment shelter in the applicant’s exhibit shows an east-
facing entrance. Staff prefers a south entrance because that location
minimizes visibility into the shelter from the Denton Tap Road side of the
building. It is our understanding the applicant is agreeable to moving the
entrance, but we will include that as a condition of approval.

Item #6
Page 2 of 4
HISTORY: This is a SpectraSite tower location and was originally granted in
1992. It has never been expanded, so a request for co-location on this
tower can be requested.
TRANSPORTATION:Sandy Lake Road is a C4D, four-lane divided roadway contained within a
90-foot r.o.w. It is currently under construction to a four- lane
concrete divided thoroughfare.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North –Lee Elementary, single-family housing; C (Commercial) and
PD-130-SF-7
South – UPS office, retail, and single-family; R (Retail) and PD-91-SF-7
East – day care, church, and vet clinic; C (Commercial)
West - single-family; PD-130-SF-7
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable for neighborhood retail uses.
DISCUSSION: This is a request to co-locate six additional six-foot-long antennae on an
existing monopole located behind the UPS facility along the north side of
Sandy Lake Road, extending the height of this tower to either 100 or 105
feet. Staff has several problems with this request. First, long standing
City policy has limited freestanding antenna pole heights to a maximum of
80 feet. The current pole at this location is 75-feet high. The applicant
has stated that a five-foot extension will not provide the spacing between
cell antennae needed to properly service the Verizon customer. In
addition, the application states a 100-foot height is requested in describing
this request, but an affidavit states a 105-foot height is needed. Secondly,
as a general rule in Coppell, these antennae are customarily grouped in a
series of three antennae. This request is to co-locate six antennae at the
top of the tower. Third, the existing 75-foot tower is immediately adjacent
to a school playground (Lee Elementary) and lies within close proximity
to several single-family homes in Austin Place. Our policy to limit towers
to 80 feet is based, in part,on the fact that we want these facilities to not
over power residential development in the City.
A complicating factor is that the existing tower is closer to residential
development than any other cell tower in the City. Thus, the 80-foot
height maximum plays a significant role in our review of this request. As
Item #6
Page 3 of 4
declared in the Zoning Ordinance, towers are allowed in Coppell based
upon protecting residential areas from adverse tower influence (Sec. 12-
32A-0(1). The Ordinance goes on to state that these towers are
encouraged to locate in non-residential areas in order to minimize their
adverse impact on the community.
Finally, the existing antenna was located on this site before the Zoning
Ordinance provided a Wireless Communication Towers section. In
addition, the tower was constructed prior to the adjacent Austin Place
subdivision development, and with today’s development standards, is not
compatible with the surrounding residential neighborhood. Based upon
the fact that the 75-foot tower is already here, staff could support co-
location without additional height and provided a maximum of three
antennae were located on it. The application being requested here is
proposing an expansion that negatively affects the surrounding
community, and we cannot support it in its present form. If co-location
could occur on the existing tower at the present height, we would be more
inclined to offer a positive recommendation to this request.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends DENIAL of this request for the reasons stated above.

1) Recommend approval of the request
2) Recommend disapproval of the request
3) Recommend modification of the request

P & Z HEARING DATE: August 19, 2004
C.C. HEARING DATE: September 14, 2004
STAFF REP.: Marcie Diamond, Assistant Planning Director
LOCATION: Town Center Addition, Lot 2, Block 3, along the east side of
Denton Tap Road, north of Town Center Boulevard.
SIZE OF AREA: 1,500-square-foot ice cream shop.
CURRENT ZONING: TC (Town Center)
REQUEST: Special Use Permit–1219-TC to allow a Carvel ice cream shop.
APPLICANT: Lisa and Joe Florentino
330 Rockland Drive
Highland Village, Texas 75077
(972) 317-0224
FAX: (972) 317-3656
HISTORY: This property, as well as surrounding properties, was zoned TC
(Town Center) in the mid 1980’s. In September 2001, City Council
approved a Site Plan for this tract of property to allow for the
development of a 12,975-square-foot retail/office/medical building,
subject to “the elimination of the drive-through area to meet on-site
landscape requirements of the Coppell Zoning Ordinance.” In June
of 2003, Council approved a one-year extension of the Site Plan;
therefore, this Site Plan is valid until September of this year.
TRANSPORTATION:Denton Tap Road is a P6D, six-lane-divided thoroughfare within a 100-foot
right-of-way. Town Center Boulevard has 28-foot-wide pavement
Item #7
Page 2 of 3
within a variable right-of-way. Adjacent to the subject property,
there is 37 feet of right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- First American Bank –TC (Town Center)
South - Eleanor’s Square shopping center –TC (Town Center)
East - Coppell Justice Center –TC (Town Center)
West - Huntington Ridge subdivision; PD-129R-SF-9
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
neighborhood retail uses.
DISCUSSION: This request is to allow a 1,500-square-foot Carvel Ice Cream
restaurant to occupy a lease space within the retail building
currently under construction between Eleanor’s Square and the
First American Bank along the east side of Denton Tap Road. This
ice cream shop will provide dine-in and carry-out services. The
applicant has requested that the hours of operation not exceed 6
a.m. to midnight, seven days a week.
Per the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, parking for this use
is required at a ratio of one space per 100-square feet, thus
requiring 15 parking spaces. As discussed in the HISTORY section
of this report, when the Site Plan for this property was approved, it
was subject to “the removal of the proposed drive-through to
provide all of the required landscaping on-site.” The revised Site
Plan indicates a slightly reduced building size, an increase in
number of parking spaces, and no drive-through. The drive-
through paving was replaced with landscaping and a patio area for
a future restaurant use (SUP tentatively scheduled to be considered
next month). Nine parking spaces have also been added along
Town Center Blvd., while complying with the provisions of the
Landscape Ordinance. These additional parking spaces bring the
total parking count on this property to 92 spaces. This will allow
for a total of 3,682-square feet of restaurant use (including the
outdoor patio area) and the remaining 9,582-square feet of building
to be used for retail uses.
This building has been designed with two fronts, one on Denton
Tap and one on Town Center Blvd. This lease space will have 20
feet of frontage and entry doors on both streets. Therefore, 20-
square feet of sign is permitted on each façade. The sign face
(CARVEL) is proposed to be white-channel letters with a three-
square-foot logo, which is a colorful ice cream cone (with
sprinkles) accounting for 15% of the total area of the sign. It will
Item #7
Page 3 of 3
have bronze trim caps and returns, and each letter and the logo will
be individually mounted (no raceway).
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of S-1219-TC, for a Carvel ice cream shop, subject to
the following conditions:
1) The property shall be developed in accordance with the site plan, floor plan
and sign plan.
2) The hours of operation shall not exceed 6 a.m. to midnight. seven days a
week.
ALTERNATIVES
1) Recommend approval of the request
2) Recommend disapproval of the request
3) Recommend modification of the request

REQUEST: PD-161R-SF-12 (Planned Development-161 Revised-Single Family-

HISTORY: In June 1997, City Council approved a change in zoning from
Agriculture to Planned Development-161 to allow the development
of a 31-lot subdivision (Stratford Manor), with common areas to the
north to preserve existing trees and, to the south at DeForest Road,
for a landscaped entry feature.
TRANSPORTATION:DeForest Road is a unimproved asphalt road contained within a variable
width right-of-way ranging from 40 to 50 feet. It is planned to
eventually be a 27-foot wide concrete street within a 50-foot right-of-
way.

North –undeveloped; Denton County Levee District
South – Raintree subdivision; PD-137
East – The Estates of Cambridge Manor; PD-131-SF-12
West - under development (St. Andrews); SF-12
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable for Residential Medium Density development.
DISCUSSION: When this property was initially planned and developed, it included a
landscaped entry feature with a low stone wall/sign in a common area
(HOA) lot just north of the intersection of DeForest Road and Stratford
Lane. This 2,632-square-foot area is currently landscaped with Crape
Myrtle trees, four Live Oak trees and low-growing shrubs and grass. The
Stratford Manor HOA desires to construct a 144-square foot, un-manned
entry building, with increased landscaping behind the existing wall. This
stone structure will be 20 feet, 7 inches in height to the peak of the roof
and will have a chestnut brown slate roof with cast-stone accents. This is
a similar concept to The Estates of Cambridge Manor’s entry feature. This
building will be set back over 80 feet from DeForest Road R.O.W., so
there will be no visibility issues.
Staff can support this HOA initiated request; however, there is a concern
regarding the existing utility lines under this lot. Specifically, there are
two water and two sewer lines which traverse this area. A note has been
added to the Site Plan that states: “If existing water and sanitary sewer
services are currently located beneath the structure, they will need to be
relocated outside of the structure.” To assure that this occurs, a PD
condition has been added which states: “Prior to the issuance of a
building permit for this structure, the Engineering Department must
approve plans, which shall include a contractor’s verification of the
location of the existing water and sewer mains and services relative to the
proposed structure. If a conflict exists, the utility lines shall be relocated
out from under the proposed structure.”
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the amendment to PD-161 to allow for a 144-
square-foot structure and landscaping within Lot 1X, subject to the following
condition:
1) Prior to the issuance of a building permit for this structure, the
Engineering Department must approve plans, which shall include a
contractor’s verification of the location of the existing water and sewer

mains and services relative to the proposed structure. If a conflict

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable for park and open space. A portion of the
property is shown to be in the floodplain.
DISCUSSION: The proposed use is secondary to the installation already in place within
the Texas Utilities transmission line right-of-way. The antenna will be
visible above the electric lines, but no more unsightly than the tower
structure itself. The proposed antenna will extend a maximum 12’ above
the existing 99’ tower. There is an 8’ masonry wall proposed to screen the
equipment on the ground in a 20’ X 25’ area beside the existing tower.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL, subject to the following conditions:
1. Access drive shall be constructed of material capable of supporting

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
regional retail, which includes banking facilities.
DISCUSSION: The applicant is requesting Site Plan approval for the development of a one-
story, 8,867-square-foot Town Center Bank facility on approximately 1.55 acres
of property, to be served by 50 parking spaces. The site is situated south of State
Highway 121 on the east side of Denton Tap Road, just south of the Dynasty
retail center (approximately 2500’ north of Parkway Boulevard). Staff is
recommending that the Town Center Bank name be reconsidered as it is not
located within the Town Center area.
Site Plan
The site has been designed to place the main entry along Denton Tap Road with
three drive-through lanes at the rear and an ATM lane on the side of the property.
Because the property is located along Denton Tap Road, which is identified as a
Primary Image Zone, the applicant has provided increased setbacks and
landscaping.
The applicant will appropriately screen this commercial use from the adjacent
residential district (Coppell Middle School North), as required by Article 33
Screening Standards of the Zoning Ordinance. The existing wall along the rear
of the subject property will be modified by replacing the wrought-iron portions
with solid brick screening. Staff supports the proposed alterations to the existing
wall.
A fire lane/mutual access drive will be constructed along the southern property
line, which will assist in providing access to future developments to the south of
the subject site. There is also a mutual access and fire lane easement extending to
the north to connect into the Dynasty development and the Jack in the Box
restaurant.
Item # 10
Page 3 of 4
Architecture
The proposed building will be one-story, measuring approximately 43’ in height
to the peak. The building materials will consist of red brick and an off-white
colored limestone veneer (“Alpine Blend”) with cast-stone accents. The roof
will be lusterless champagne colored standing-seam metal. In the rear parking
area, a 15’ high carport (20’ X 100’) is proposed with the same limestone and
peaked metal roof design. A 38.5-square-foot monument sign will be located
approximately 25’ from the Denton Tap right-of way and 140’ from the northern
property line. The proposed monument sign (brown channel mounted letters)
will be constructed of limestone veneer to match the building.
Landscape Plan
The proposed Landscape Plan fully provides the required perimeter, interior and
non-vehicular landscaping, showing 13 Live Oak trees along Denton Tap and the
northern property line. There are 16 Aristrocrat Pear trees shown throughout the
site within parking islands and along the eastern boundary adjacent to the
screening wall.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the Natches Trace Addition, Lot 1, Block C,
Site Plan, subject to the following conditions:
1. The bank name should be reconsidered, as the Town Center is located
approximately 2500’ south of the site.
2. Submit a copy of the easement that contains the pavement on the south side
of the site on the adjacent lot.
3. Ensure the easements shown on the plat are correctly reflected on the Site
Plan.
4. Indicate firelane turning radii (30’ inside & 54’ outside minimum required).
5. A Fire Department connection is to be located within 50’ of a fire hydrant.
6. Show the location of all existing and proposed fire hydrants on the Site
Plan. These are required every 300’ along the firelane.
7. Revise proposed parking figures from 53 to 50.
8. Show 44 Carissa Hollies instead of the 41 shown in chart.
9. Increase the size of the Aristocrat Pear by at least one-caliper inch.

"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: September 14, 2004
RE: Consider approval of an ordinance amending the Code of Ordinances for the City of
Coppell Chapter 8, Article 1, Section 4. School zone-speed, to establish the maximum
prima facie speed limit for a designated school zone on Riverchase Drive from 535 feet
north of the north curb line of Bradford Drive to 510 feet south of the south curb line
of Bradford Drive; and authorizing the Mayor to sign.
The City of Coppell has received several requests for a school zone on Riverchase Drive near Bradford
Drive. In August 2003, the City completed the construction of the elevated crosswalk to connect the
cul-de-sac of Bradford Dr. with Starleaf St. to provide a direct route for students in Riverchase to walk
to Riverchase Elementary School. By virtue of constructing the crosswalk at the end of Bradford, the
City has created a focal point for children to cross Riverchase Dr. at Bradford Dr.
A recent speed study near Bradford Dr. in Riverchase reveals that approximately 2400 vehicles a day
use Riverchase Dr. and the 85% speed is about 33 mph. The Riverchase Elementary School begins at
8:10 a.m. and from approximately 7:15 a.m. to 8:15 a.m. there are 341 vehicles utilizing Riverchase
Dr. near Bradford. This is over 14% of the total volume of vehicles on Riverchase Dr. during a 24-
hour period. The school day ends at 3:10 p.m. and from approximately 3:15 p.m. to 4:15 p.m., there
are 148 vehicles utilizing Riverchase Dr. near Bradford. This is over 6% of the total volume of
vehicles on Riverhcase Dr. during a 24-hour period. Overall, there are approximately 489 vehicles
(about 20% of the total) utilizing Riverchase Dr. during times when you might expect a child to be on
Riverchase Dr. near Bradford Dr.
To determine whether or not a school zone is warranted, I reviewed our School Zone Traffic Control
Guidelines as adopted by Ordinance #90-487. The School Zone Traffic Control Guidelines provide
flowcharts on 1) when to install school zones on school property; and, 2) when to install school zones
away from school property.
The main consideration for installation away from school property is:
1) the school zone is installed specifically to protect a crosswalk; and
2) the school zone is only installed after establishment of a designated school route.
The designated school route to get from the east side of Riverchase Dr. to the west side of Riverchase
Dr. is at Bradford Dr. As previously stated, this location was established when the City constructed
the elevated crosswalk at the end of Bradford Dr.
The first thing to consider is determining whether or not the crosswalk fits the best route to the school.
The answer to that is “Yes”. If the answer is “Yes”, then the crosswalk is installed.
"CITY OF COPPELL ENGINEERING - EXCELLENCE BY DESIGN"
As a side note, if the requested school zone is approved by City Council a crosswalk will be installed
at the intersection of Bradford Dr. and Riverchase Dr. as part of the school zone installation. This
obviously would be installed to encourage children to cross at that location within the limits of the
school zone.
The second thing to consider is whether or not the crosswalk is at a controlled intersection i.e. signal
light or stop sign. If there is a traffic control device at the intersection, then no school zone is required.
If the crosswalk is at a controlled intersection, then following the flow chart through to its conclusion,
no school zone is required. If the crosswalk is not at a controlled intersection, then following the flow
chart through to its conclusion, reveals that a school zone should be installed.
We have had requests in the past to install school zones away from school property; however, those
request are typically at areas that are controlled by stop signs. Most notably we receive periodic
requests to have a school zone placed on Parkway Blvd. at its intersection with Heartz Rd. Based on
the flow chart, that would not meet the criteria established by Ordinance#90-487 for the installation of
a school zone away from school property.
My recommendation is that a school zone be installed along Riverchase Dr. approximately centered on
Bradford Dr. and that a crosswalk be installed as part of that installation to encourage children to cross
within the limits of the school zone.
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: September 14, 2004
RE: Consider approval of an ordinance revising the Thoroughfare Plan to
redesignate Riverchase Drive from a 4-lane undivided collector street (C4U)
to a 2-lane undivided collector street (C2U) in its entirety from MacArthur
Blvd. to Sandy Lake Rd.; and authorizing the Mayor to sign.
Periodically, the City has received complaints from citizens concerning Riverchase Dr.
Typically, the complaint is related to cars passing on the right side of a vehicle traveling at the
speed limit.
The City’s current Thoroughfare Plan shows Riverchase Dr. to be a C4U, which is a four-lane
undivided collector street. Because of that designation, Riverchase Dr. was constructed as a 45-
foot wide roadway. Because traffic has not warranted the 4-lanes, the City has not previously
striped the 4-lanes and has only provided a centerline.
Because of the complaints received, I instructed the Street Department to stripe Riverchase Dr.
as a four-lane undivided collector street as called for in the City’s current Thoroughfare Plan. It
was my opinion at the time that this would be the safest way to resolve the complaints received
concerning vehicles passing on the right.
Once the Street Department began laying out the pattern for the buttons to convert Riverchase
Dr. from two lanes to four lanes, I received numerous e-mails concerning the “widening” of
Riverchase Dr. Because volume was not driving the conversation of Riverchase Dr. to four
lanes, I stepped back from the situation to evaluate the need for four lanes verses two lanes.
Our Thoroughfare Plan states that a two-lane collector street typically is designed to carry up to
10,000 vehicles per day and that a four-lane undivided collector street is designed to carry
between 10,000 and 20,000 vehicles per day. The area surrounding Riverchase Dr. is currently
built-out and our most recent traffic counts show approximately 2400 vehicles a day on the
roadway. That could fluctuate; however, it is my opinion that it is highly unlikely that we would
ever have a situation where you had 10,000 or more vehicles on the roadway during a 24-hour
period.
Once I arrived at the conclusion that Riverchase Dr. did not need to be four lanes to
accommodate traffic, I attempted to come up with some solution so that it was very clear that
"CITY OF COPPELL ENGINEERING - EXCELLENCE BY DESIGN"
there is only one lane in each direction. If the City did nothing you would still have two 22-½
foot wide lanes and you would still have the potential for vehicles to pass on the right. Also the
wider roadway lends itself to higher speeds.
After my evaluation, it’s my recommendation that the designation of Riverchase Dr. be changed
in the Thoroughfare Plan from C4U to C2U. Because 45 foot wide is too wide for a C2U, my
further recommendation is that instead of providing striping to establish a 3rd and 4th lane, that
we provided striping approximately 7 feet off the face of the curb to provide a buffer zone from
the vehicles to the sidewalk area. This buffer zone could also be utilized for bicyclists or joggers
in the area.
By creating the buffer zone adjacent to the curb approximately 7 foot width, we would in effect,
reduce the driving area of Riverchase Dr. to approximately 30 feet. This is more in line with a
residential width street and/or a 2-lane collector street.
Staff recommends approval of the revision to the current Thoroughfare Plan to redesignate
Riverchase Drive from a four-lane undivided collector street (C4U) to a two-lane undivided
collector street (C2U) in its entirety from MacArthur Blvd. to Sandy Lake Rd. 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: September 14, 2004
RE: Discussion and consideration of Memorandum of Understanding concerning
S.H. 121 Funding Strategy; and authorizing the City Manager to sign.
On September 7, 2004, the City of Coppell received the draft copy of the long awaited
Memorandum of Understanding, S.H. 121 Funding Strategy. The S.H. 121 Funding Strategy
was brought about by TxDOT’s position that all new and proposed state highways undergo
scrutiny to determine whether or not they would be better served as toll roads, whether than
freeways. The analysis of S.H. 121, from northwest Coppell to the Dallas North Tollway, reveals
that it was a prime candidate to be a tollway, as opposed to being a freeway.
Council may recall that several years ago five cities joined with Denton County to pledge
funding for S.H. 121 to expedite its construction. That pledged funding was used as leverage to
obtain a loan from the State Infrastructure Bank (SIB) to expedite construction. Because of the
analysis concerning the conversion of S.H. 121 from a freeway to a tollway, the affected parties
have been meeting with TxDOT and representatives of the North Central Texas Council of
Governments (NCTCOG) concerning support of the conversion of S.H. 121 to a tollway.
The Memorandum of Understanding lists all cities and counties affected by S.H. 121 and also list
concessions that will be made to gain those adjoining communities’ support for the conversion of
S.H. 121 from a freeway to a tollway.
Specifically in the City of Coppell, the Memorandum of Understanding states that NCTCOG
would agree to:
1) Fund $3.64 million toward construction of Freeport Parkway from S.H. 121 to Sandy Lake
Rd. This is a new roadway through property that is currently undeveloped.
2) Fund $3.368 million toward the widening of Freeport Parkway from Sandy Lake Rd. to Ruby
Rd. This is the widening of State Road from Sandy Lake Rd. to Wagon Wheel Park from its
current 2-lane asphalt to a 4-lane divided boulevard.
3) Work with TxDOT to expedite construction of the “Funnel” project on S.H. 121/S.H. 114.
This project impacts traffic flow along the western boundary of Coppell Road and has long
been a high priority of Coppell and Grapevine.
4) Work with TxDOT to ensure placement of a northbound exit ramp from S.H. 121 to serve
Sandy Lake Road. The main concern here is having an exit ramp in the general proximity of
Sandy Lake Road, not 9000 feet and several intersections south of Sandy Lake Road. A
"CITY OF COPPELL ENGINEERING - EXCELLENCE BY DESIGN"
byproduct of any ramp to serve Sandy Lake Road would be to protect the integrity of the
proposed diamond interchange at Freeport Parkway.
One of the goals of getting the funding for the construction of Freeport Parkway is to help siphon
some of the traffic that currently uses Denton Tap Rd. and MacArthur Blvd. in the mornings off
of those roadways and placing them on Freeport Pkwy. so that they can go directly along the
western fringes of Coppell to reach I.H. 635 and/or S.H. 114. The construction of Freeport
Parkway was identified as a potential project in the RTTF committee.
With the money pledged by NCTCOG and the estimated construction of Freeport Pkwy.,
Coppell will need to come up with a 20% match. Depending on the cost of construction and the
right-of-way associated with Freeport Pkwy., the 20% match could be in the range of $1.7
million.
Currently, staff has paid $1.2 million as part of our funding share towards expediting
construction of S.H. 121. That $1.2 million would be used as a portion of our local match
toward the construction of both sections of Freeport Parkway.
Based on all meetings and discussions concerning S.H. 121 being converted from a freeway to a
tollway, it is my understanding that TxDOT has the right to make that determination without the
support of the adjoining cities. I specifically asked whether or not TxDOT could mandate S.H.
121 be a tollway, as opposed to being a freeway at the Surface Transportation Committee
meeting at NCTCOG. The answer to my question was that they do have that right; however,
they have never exercised that right i.e., constructed roadways, widened roadways, converted
roadways, etc. without the support of the adjoining cities. The bottom line is TxDOT has the
right to convert S.H. 121 to a tollway. Our goal in supporting the Memorandum of
Understanding is to be assured that the City of Coppell receives consideration for our support of
S.H. 121 being converted from a freeway to a tollway.
Staff recommends approval of Memorandum of Understanding concerning S.H. 121 Funding
Strategy. Staff will be available to answer any questions at the Council meeting.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
S.H. 121 Funding Strategy
This memorandum of understanding (MOU) is a staff planning document that is intended to outline the agreement
regarding the S.H. 121 tollway funding strategy. On March 25, 2004, the Texas Transportation Commission approved
Minute Order 109615, which allows the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to issue bonds and other public
securities to fund state highway system improvements. Subsequently, TxDOT and the North Central Texas Council of
Governments (NCTCOG) recommended the construction of S.H. 121 to as an electronic toll facility from the southern
end of the S.H. 121 Bypass at Denton Creek to the Dallas North Tollway (DNT). Denton County, The Colony,
Lewisville, Carrollton, Coppell, Frisco, Plano, and Grapevine concur with the TxDOT and NCTCOG recommendation.
