MEMORANDUM
TO:Mayor and City Council
FROM:Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E., Director of Engineering and Public Works
DATE:July 12, 2005
REF:Consider approval of a resolution approving a License Agreement between Dallas
Area Rapid Transit (DART) and the City of Coppell for the purpose of
constructing, installing, operating and maintaining a 16" water line crossing near
Denton Tap Road; and authorizing the City Manager to execute all necessary
documents associated with the License Agreement; and authorizing the Mayor to
sign.
On April 9, 2002, the City of Coppell approved a design contract with Birkhoff, Hendricks &
Conway Consulting Engineers for the design of a 16" water line along Belt Line Rd./Denton Tap
Rd. from Airline Dr. to Bethel Rd. Currently, an 8" water line exists in that location. The
replacement of the 8" with the 16" water line was identified on the City of Coppell's Water
Master Plan. In order to construct the water line, we will need to pass beneath the DART rail
line located approximately midway between Southwestern Blvd. and Bethel Rd. Information
concerning the crossing was previously submitted to DART, which has subsequently approved
the crossing.
This agenda item is seeking approval of the license agreement provided by DART and
authorizing the City Manager to execute all necessary documents associated with the license
agreement. The license agreement is virtually identical to the seven other license agreements
that the City has obtained to cross DART rail line at various locations within the City.
Staff recommends approval of the license agreement between Dallas Area Rapid Transit and the
City of Coppell and approval of the authorization for the City Manager to execute all necessary
documents. Staff will be available to answer any questions at the Council meeting.

damages in the event of default termination would be speculative and difficult to determine. The
BCE Specialties & BBJ & E/ Tax Abatement Agreement –Page 6 73691
parties further agree that any abated tax, including interest as a result of this Agreement, shall be
recoverable against BBJ and BCE, and shall constitute a tax lien against the Premises, and shall

necessary to cure such default, then the City may extend the period in which the default must be
cured.
8.3 If the BBJ and/or BCE fails to cure the default within the time provided as specified
above or, as such time period may be extended, then the City at its sole option shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement, by written notice to the BBJ and BCE.
8.4 Upon termination of this Agreement by City, all tax abated with respect to the
Improvements and the Tangible Personal Property, as a result of this Agreement, shall become a
debt to the City as liquidated damages, and shall become due and payable not later than thirty (30)
days after a notice of termination is made. The City shall have all remedies for the collection of the
abated tax provided generally in the Tax Code for the collection of delinquent property tax. The
City at its sole discretion has the option to provide a repayment schedule. The computation of the
abated tax for the purposes of the Agreement shall be based upon the full Taxable Value of the
Improvements and Tangible Personal Property, without tax abatement for the years in which tax
abatement hereunder was received by the BBJ and BCE, as determined by the Appraisal District,
multiplied by the tax rate of the years in question, as calculated by the City Tax Assessor-Collector.
The liquidated damages shall incur penalties as provided for delinquent taxes and shall commence
to accrue after expiration of the thirty (30) day payment period.

HISTORY: In 1988, City Council approved a rezoing from Agriculture to Heavy
Industrial, with a Special Use Permit to allow the continued use of the
subject property as a concrete batch plant. At that time, the owners of
the batch plant desired to make improvements to the property,
Item # 4
Page 2 of 4
thereby necessitating appropriate zoning. The improvements
included the installation of a retaining wall and a fence around the
property.
TRANSPORTATION:S.H 121 is an existing four-lane divided highway with two-lane service roads
in a 440’-wide right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - Flood Plain and mobile home park in the City of Lewisville
South - Flood Plain and undeveloped; A (Agriculture) and LI (Light
Industrial)
East - S.H. 121
West - DFW Trade Center; LI (Light Industrial)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
Light Industrial/Showroom and Flood Plain uses.
DISCUSSION: As discussed in the HISTORY section of this report, this concrete batch
plant has been in existence for over 17 years. A rezoning to a base zoning
of Heavy Industrial was approved, with a SUP, to allow for site
improvements and the continuation of this use was granted in 1988.
Staff recently reviewed the Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map in terms land
uses and zoning districts in which they are permitted and discovered that the
subject property is the only HI (Heavy Industrial) district in the City of
Coppell. As indicated by its name, this district permits a wide variety of
undesirable uses that would not be appropriate on any property in the City.
The complete HI Uses permitted by SUP is attached as Exhibit A, which
includes uses such as: Blast furnace; Coke ovens; Cotton gins; Distillation of
bones, coal or wood and glue manufacture; Fat rendering; Hatchery; Oiled
rubber goods manufacture; Pickle manufacturing; Sauerkraut manufacture;
Smelting of tin, copper, zinc, or iron ores and other metals; and Stock yard or
slaughter of animals or fowls. Staff desires to delete this district from the
Zoning Ordinance and map; therefore, the base zoning of this SUP needs to
be changed from HI (Heavy Industrial) to LI (Light Industrial).
When discussing this proposal with the current owner/operator of this
concrete batch plant, Southern Star Concrete, a concern was raised that they
Item # 4
Page 3 of 4
be able to retain a permanent status for this use. In discussions with the City
Attorney, this provision can, and will, be included in the Ordinance adopting
this change in zoning. However, any expansions of and/or revisions to the
approved Site Plan will require an amendment to this SUP.
Given the location of this site, which is relatively isolated from surrounding
land uses due to the creek and mature trees on three sides, and being across
the freeway from most of the Light Industrial developments in Coppell
(except for the DFW Trade Center, which is separated by the existing tree
line), staff can support the continuation of this use. Finally, a recent site visit
revealed that this property is very well maintained.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of a change to the base zoning from HI
(Heavy Industrial) to LI (Light Industrial) for Special Use Permit-1036, subject
to:
1) Appropriate language in the Ordinance allowing for the retention of the
existing concrete batch plant.
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.

Garland, Texas 75042
(972) 205-9086
FAX: (972) 205-9428
HISTORY: On May 10, 2005 City Council approved a Site Plan and Replat on
this 16.8-acre site to allow the development of two warehouse
buildings, one of 153,000-square feet adjacent to Belt Line Road and
a second building immediately west at 137,000-square feet. The Site
Item # 5
Page 2 of 3
Plan and Plat provided a fire lane/access easement, perpendicular to
the north property line, for the eventual mutual access from this
property to the property to the north.
TRANSPORTATION:Belt Line Road is a P6D six-lane divided major thoroughfare built to
standard in a 120-foot right-of-way. Airline Drive is a paved,
concrete two-way street built within a 60-foot right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North -vacant; LI (Light Industrial)
South – office/warehousing; LI (Light Industrial)
East - auto parts, gas station, oil/lube shop; C (Commercial)
West - warehousing; LI (Light Industrial)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable for warehousing.
DISCUSSION: This request is to allow for the placement and operation of a temporary
concrete batch plant to supply concrete for the construction on this 16.8-
acre site. While this use is permitted by right in this district for a period
not exceeding 90 days, the applicant anticipates needing to operate for up
to nine (9) months, therefore, requiring a Special Use Permit.
This facility, proposed to be located approximately 290 feet west of Belt
Line Road and 60 feet north of Airline Drive, directly over the designated
fire lane, will contain the plant, a cement storage trailer and stockpiles of
gravel and sand. As requested by the Fire Marshal, this plant will need to
be removed from the fire lane prior to going vertical with any walls on this

HISTORY: The original plat for Shadydale Acres was established in the 1960’s.
Homes on the east side of Shadydale Lane were constructed on “half
lots” which have 72.5 feet of frontage. In 1993, a replat of Tract 6,
Block B, was approved for two lots. In August of 2001, the Planning
and Zoning Commission recommended denial of a request to replat
Tract 6A into two lots. At that time, the applicant desired to retain the
existing home on a portion of the lot which required that the common
lot line be an irregular configuration to meet the zoning requirements.
In 2002 a replat was approved to subdivide this Tract 6A into two
lots, in accordance with the SF-12 standards, subject to: the house
Item # 6

being removed prior to the plat being filed for record, an alley waiver
and the Tree Preservation and Retribution Plan being approved prior
to the issuance of a building permit.
In 1998, PD-172 was established along the west side of Shadydale
Lane, north of this property, which allowed for the platting and
development of 13 lots ranging in size from 12,320- to 14,720-square
feet. These lots were platted generally in accordance with the SF-12
regulations, with an average lot width of 85 feet. Additional
conditions included in the PD increased the minimum dwelling size,
defined the minimum roof pitches, increased landscaping, regulated
garage placements, and granted waivers of the alley, right-of-way and
sidewalk requirements.
TRANSPORTATION:Both Shadydale and Shadyoak Lanes are substandard, 2-lane asphalt streets,
without curb and gutter, built within a 60-foot right of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- single family; SF-12
South – single family; SF-12
East - single family; SF-12
West - single family; SF-12
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
low density residential, which is defined as 1-3 dwelling units
per acre.
DISCUSSION: Similar to previous requests for redevelopment in this
subdivision, the owner of these two ½ tracts is desiring to
replat into two lots to allow the development of two single-
family homes. This property contains 1.733 acres (75,489-
square feet), which can easily accommodate two lots in
accordance with the SF-12 standards. The northern lot is
proposed to contain 48,254-square feet (1.1 acres, and the
southern lot, 27,237-square feet (0.62 of an acre). These
lots exceed the minimum lot width, depth and size as
prescribed by SF-12 district regulations. The only variance
being required is relief from the alley requirements, which
is typical in the Shadydale Acres subdivision. The
Item # 6
Page 3 of 3
applicant intends to build his home on the northern lot and
sell the southern lot.
As indicated on the Tree Survey, these lots contain many
mature trees, and the owner intends to preserve as many as
possible to enhance the aesthetics of these new homes.
However, the homes have yet to be designed; therefore, a
Detailed Tree Preservation Plan will be required prior to
the issuance of a Building Permit and Tree Removal
Permit. It is reasonable to assume that given the number of
trees being preserved, a retribution payment will not be
required.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of the Replat for the north half of Tract 3 and
the south half of Tract 4, Block C, (Lots 3R and 4R, Block C) of Shadydale Acres
to allow the construction of two single-family homes, subject to:
1) Waiver of the alley requirement.
2) A Tree Removal Permit being obtained for each lot prior to the
issuance of a Building Permit.
3) Revise the notations on the lots on the west side of Shadydale Lane from

HISTORY: In March of 2004, a 22.5-acre lot was replatted into two lots,
the western one being 14.8 acres and the site of a future
health care facility. The remaining 7.7-acre lot was proposed
to be replatted into six lots for future medical/office uses.
The property was replatted and rezoned to a Planned
Development in October of 2004.
TRANSPORTATION: Denton Tap Road is a P6D, six-lane divided thoroughfare
(120 feet of right-of-way). State Highway 121 is under
construction and being built to freeway standards. It
currently contains one-way service roads, each 33-feet wide
within a 450-foot right-of-way. Highland Drive is a four-lane
undivided roadway with 75 feet of right-of-way within the
City of Lewisville.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- single-family residences; City of Lewisville
South- State Highway 121; City of Lewisville
East - vacant land under development; City of Lewisville
West - vacant land (Presbyterian proposal); HC (Highway Commercial)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
regional retail uses.
DISCUSSION: As mentioned in the HISTORY section of this report, this
property has had recent development activity, including
replatting and rezoning. In March of 2004, the current
applicant replatted a 22-acre site into two lots, one
containing the 1998 approved Presbyterian Hospital
development, the second containing 7.7 acres which
detailed an eventual medical/office building complex. In
addition to the office development located in the City of
Coppell, the proposal showed a townhouse development in
Lewisville. Lewisville subsequently approved a residential
complex containing 102, 2-3 story townhouses with an
office/commercial component located adjacent to the 121
Bypass to a depth of approximately 250 feet. The
townhouse development is currently under preliminary
Item # 7
Page 3 of 4
construction. In October of 2004, the 7.7-acre lot was
rezoned to Planned Development to allow approximately
63,000-square feet of medical/office use in six buildings--
two two-story and the rest one-story structures. The
property was also replatted into eight sites, six for the
buildings described above, and two into open space and
landscaped lots. Since that time, the developer has had
numerous conversations with potential users and has
recently found interest for developing the property in a
slightly different configuration. Basically, the request
before you now would increase the total square footage of
the project from the above-mentioned 63,000 feet to 74,238
feet. That change would be accommodated by increasing
the size of the Lot 1 building from 7,240- to 10,000-square
feet; Lot 2 building size from 7,950- to 10,032-square feet;
combining Lots 3 and 4 into one building site and changing
from a 6,900-square-foot building on Lot 3 and a 6,550-
square-foot building on Lot 4 to be combined into one lot
with a building size of 19,804-square feet. As a sidebar, to
combine Lots 3 and 4 into one lot will require the replatting
of these two lots. The applicant is aware of this fact and
will replat in the future. Lots 5, 6, 7 and 8 would remain as
initially approved.
In addition to increasing the size of several buildings, use
of the structures has also changed. Office use has replaced
medical use for a subsequent reduction in required parking.
You will note that medical-use parking must be provided at
a ratio of 1:175, whereas office parking is provided at a
1:300 ratio. Therefore, the buildings can be enlarged with
subsequent reduction of parking (provided the use changes
to a less-intense use) all on the same parcel as initially
approved.
The single-story buildings have also been redesigned as
shown on the elevations and color board and are somewhat
more attractive than the original. They meet the design
guidelines of our ordinances and require no modification
from our current standards.
In short, although additional square footage has been added
to the Site Plan, adequate parking, appropriate screening,
landscaping and traffic circulation all remain unchanged.

HISTORY: This property is currently Lot 1, Block A, of the Stringfellow Addition, a residential
subdivision filed in November 1961. Since the initial subdivision, different portions
have been replatted. Nash Manor divided one of the original lots into multiple lots,
and the Stringfellow Addition Replat amended the lot line between Lots 4 & 5,
Block B. In August 2004, a replat was approved by the City Council for this lot;
however, it was not filed and has since expired. At that time, the property was
rezoned to PD-203-R to allow for a florist to occupy a 2,700-square-foot building
with 12 parking spaces.
Item # 8
Page 2 of 5
TRANSPORTATION:Sandy Lake Road has recently been improved to a four-lane divided
thoroughfare, built generally within 95-feet of right-of-way. Moore
Road is a two-lane undivided collector street, built within 60-feet of
right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North – Medical/Office building; C (Commercial)
South – Residential; SF-12 (Single Family-12)
East – Retail shopping center with gas pumps; R (Retail)
West - Residential; SF-12 (Single Family-12)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable for Neighborhood Retail.
DISCUSSION: This request is to allow for the development of a one-story, 3,028-square-
foot office building. As discussed in the HISTORY section of this report,
this was originally platted as a residential subdivision. Office
development is permissible within the current Planned Development and
is in compliance with the 1996 Comprehensive Plan, which depicts
Neighborhood Retail as an appropriate use.
The proposed Site Plan is in compliance with the zoning regulations in
terms of parking, signage and building height. There are 11 parking spaces
required and 12 proposed. There is a carport shown that does not conform
to the Zoning Ordinance’s required setbacks for accessory structures.
Within a nonresidential district, the structure is required to be setback the
same distance as the main building. Staff does not feel that this warrants
an exception due to the residential adjacency and should be removed from
the plans.
As shown on the Tree Mitigation & Landscape Plan, the perimeter and
interior landscaping requirements are not completely met. The perimeter
landscape area along Moore Road is only 10-feet wide (15’ is required).
This is acceptable to staff and may be approved as part of this Planned
Development, due to the following unusual circumstances of the lot:
1. The applicant is required to have 11 parking spaces on-site.
2. The applicant is preserving three of the four existing trees (36”
Red Oak and 24” & 29” Post Oaks).
Item # 8
Page 3 of 5
3. The applicant is providing access points along both Sandy Lake
and Moore Roads.
In addressing staff’s concern about the alignment of the proposed drive on
Moore Road to that of the shopping center’s drive across the street in the
previously approved Site Plan, the applicant reduced the offset to 4’;
therefore, slightly reducing the required 10’ perimeter landscaping on the
south property line. An additional 1.5’ can be gained for landscaping if
the proposed carport is removed from the plans and the parking spaces are
reduced in length to 17’. Because this is a Planned Development, a
concession to this requirement is again recommended. A minor reduction
will allow for a closer alignment of the drives and leave enough area for
the proposed trees along the property line.
Originally, the easternmost of these parking spaces on the south end was
shown as a dumpster location. Once the applicant discovered that a
dumpster was not required, it was converted into an additional parking
space. Staff recommends that this be converted to landscaping and a tree
added. The trees along this property line will help screen this business use
from the abutting residential use in addition to the required six-foot
masonry-screening wall.
The Zoning Ordinance calls for interior (parking lot) landscaping to be
increased by the same corresponding distance if the parking space is
reduced from 19’ to 17’ minimum. This reduction allows for the vehicle
to overhang additional landscaping in place of pavement. On this
proposal there are two instances in which this requirement is not met. Due
to the overhang being accommodated by the perimeter landscaping, staff
feels this is a reasonable exception to be granted.
There are two proposed dead-end fire lane easements, one off Sandy Lake
and one off Moore Road. These will allow for a fire truck to park and not
block either of the roadways. There is a proposed fire hydrant located in
the drive-island off of Sandy Lake. The easements and the hydrant are
acceptable to the Fire Marshal and are in accordance with the Fire Code.
The height of the building is approximately 29’. The elevations show the
majority of the building to be “oxford red” brick with the facades along
Sandy Lake and Moore Roads each having “natural stone” at the entry and
window, respectively. There will be sunbrella-style awnings that are
black in color on the north and east elevations. Each window will have
black shutters on the Moore and Sandy Lake elevations with cast stone for
the lintels and sills. The front entry is proposed to be a brown wood door
with glass. The monument sign will match the building having both
Item # 8
Page 4 of 5
“natural stone” and the “oxford red” brick with two tenants listed on the
sign. The size and style of each tenant’s lettering will need to match. The
phone number and “David H. King Agency” will also need to be removed.
The proposed attached signage is as follows:
1. 23-square-foot logo and “Nationwide Insurance” on the east
elevation.
2. 36-square-foot logo and “David H. King Insurance Agency” on the
north elevation.
3. Nine-square-feet allowed for tenant on north elevation.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of this request, subject to the following conditions:
1) Remove the proposed carport from the plans as this does not meet the
minimum setback requirements within a nonresidential district.
2) Include a landscape area in place of the proposed parking space on the
southeast corner of the lot. This will reduce proposed parking by one. Ensure
this is reflected in all notes.
3) Replace the “Existing Transformer” note with “Existing Drainage Inlet”.
4) Shield lights on rear and side elevations and ensure it meets the Glare and
Lighting Standards of the Zoning Ordinance.
5) The size and style of each tenant’s lettering will need to match. The phone
number and “Lease Space Available” will need to be removed.
6) The monument sign needs to be setback 15’ from the property line.
7) Ensure the dimensions on the Engineering Plans are the same as those
submitted on the Site Plan.
8) Show the band of stamped concrete at the entry along Moore Road.
9) The Brick Screening Wall detail calls out "Wall design per City of Coppell
Standards." Remove this call-out. The wall should be designed and sealed by
a licensed P.E. and submitted to Building Inspections for review.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable for Neighborhood Retail.
DISCUSSION: The purpose of this replat is to add drainage easements and a fire lane.
Because this is a residential replat, a notification to those property owners
within 200’ within the existing subdivision was required. This
notification was sent out to four additional property owners within the
subdivision. None of the notices were returned in favor or opposition.
The current drainage of the surrounding property to the south and west is
through this lot. The applicant is proposing drainage improvements on the
west property line; therefore, a 20’ drainage easement is proposed.

HISTORY: In 1989, 115 acres were rezoned from PD-Recreation Center to PD-108 (known
as the Springs of Coppell) for institutional, office, retail, commercial and light
industrial uses. This property was owned by the Baptist Foundation, and their
Concept Plan indicated a proposed university site east of Grapevine Creek. To the
west of Grapevine Creek was a proposed park. The balance of the PD was

envisioned for light industrial/tech uses, with commercial and office buildings
proposed along Denton Tap Road. In 1995, this PD was amended to allow for the
development of The Summit at the Springs, a 46-lot SF-9 residential subdivision
on approximately 30 acres located roughly 500 feet west of Denton Tap Road,
south of Bethel Road. In 1998, this PD was amended to allow for The Reserve, a
23-lot residential subdivision on 9.7 acres of land located to the west of The
Summit at the Springs. In 1998 a request to rezone a 37-acre tract (which now
includes the Service Center site) from PD-LI and R to PD-SF-9 for 102 single-
family lots (to be known as Westchase) was denied by City Council. This 37-acre
tract was subsequently sold to the City of Coppell for future use. Recently, the
base zoning of this area was rezoned to H (Historic), which incorporates specific
development standards and use regulations.
TRANSPORTATION: Bethel Road is two-lane asphalt road contained within a variable width
right-of-way. Freese and Nichols has prepared the construction plans,
which are now 90% complete, showing variable right-of-way widths and
approximately 28’ of pavement with angled parking along the north
side, adjacent to this request. Construction is scheduled to begin late
2006.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North-single-family residential: SF9
South – vacant; H (Historic) & PD-108-H
East - vacant; PD-108-H
West -single-family residence; H (Historic)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
a use allowed in the Historic district (office uses are
allowed).
DISCUSSION: A Planned Development (PD) revision is necessary due to this property
already being included within a larger PD. It is part of the recently
approved Historic district that falls under the Design Guidelines of the
Zoning Ordinance. The Site Plan package was evaluated under these
guidelines and generated more comments than usual. This was expected,
as the district regulations were being formulated when this project was
being designed. Staff has worked with the applicant for an extended
period of time and feels the majority of the issues have been addressed.
Item # 10
Page 3 of 5
The outstanding technical issues are outlined as conditions within the
STAFF RECOMMENDATION section.
Site Plan
This request is for a two-phased office and medical office development.
Phases I & II encompass 16,687-square-foot- and 16,421-square-foot-
buildings (including porch areas). The parking area is proposed to be
concrete, although asphalt is acceptable in this district. The applicant
feels the greater life span of concrete far outweighs the less expensive
asphalt construction. The first phase requires 89 parking spaces, calculated
at a ratio of 1 space per 175-square-feet of building area; 89 are provided.
The parking is shown at the rear of the building, as outlined in the Design
Guidelines. There are 90 parking spaces required for the Phase II building,
and the applicant is meeting this requirement. One of the PD conditions
being requested is to locate Phase II parking in front of the building,
which is a variance to the recently approved Historic district development
standards. Staff recommends including this as a condition because the
parking area will be screened with landscaping.
There is a shared drive extending south into the site from Bethel Road.
This is located along the mutual property line between Phases I and II. A
fire lane extending to Coppell Road is required to be constructed within
two years from completion of the Phase I structure. The applicant has an
option to purchase the land for Phase II within two years from the issuance
of a Certificate of Occupancy for Phase I. Therefore, the delayed
construction of the fire lane will allow for this decision to be made. The
fire lane will give the EMS a second point of access from a different road.
It will also serve as valuable access during the construction of the
proposed improvements to Bethel Road.
Victorian-style street lamps are proposed for the parking area. These are
approximately 14’ in height and will match those approved for the
Historic district (already installed in the Old Coppell Townhomes
development).
Landscaping Plan and Tree Preservation
The interior landscaping, or parking lot landscaping, is in compliance with
the requirements of the Historic district. The applicant is requesting a PD
condition allowing for a reduction to the required perimeter landscaping
along the south side of Phase II. Staff can support this reduction as the
adjacent property is currently owned by the City of Coppell and is
designated as green/open space with a trail system in the Old Coppell
Master Plan.
Item # 10
Page 4 of 5
There are nine trees being removed within Phase I, totaling 153-caliper
inches. Tree mitigation fees of $11,530 are required to be paid at time of
removal; however, some of this cost can be reduced if the proposed trees
shown on the Landscape Plan are increased in size over the minimum 3-
caliper inches. The Tree Survey for Phase II shows 1,007- caliper inches,
and the applicant is analyzing ways to preserve some of the trees and also
to reduce the cost by increasing the proposed tree sizes.
Elevations / Signage
The structures exceed the 5,000-square-foot threshold specified in the
Historic district that would require a Special Use Permit; however, this
variance can be included as a condition within this Planned Development.
The proposed building materials are brick, stone and cedar. Brown brick is
the primary building material with natural stone used on the gables and at
entry points. Cedar is used on the lintels above the windows and as an
accent on the dormers and building.
The height of the proposed structures is 26.5’and is in compliance with the
maximum allowable height of 35’. The first phase is oriented to the street,
with entries shown on both the north and south elevations. The north
elevation for this phase has several roof line variations and multiple gable
ends fronting the street. Although vinyl windows are shown on the black
and white elevations, the applicant has agreed to the more traditional
bronze aluminum. The windows are vertically oriented with clear panes
as outlined in the Design Guidelines. The dormers on the roof break up the
expanse. There is brick proposed along the bottom of the buildings to
meet the brick foundation requirement. The proposed letters of the sign
are to be of bronze material, black in color.
The attached sign areas depicted are 12’ wide by 2.5’ tall. The signs will
read “Historic Coppell Properties” and will be located on each end of the
structure. The letters are black and will be externally lit with a spotlight
shining down on the sign, so as not to spill over into the surrounding
properties. No monument sign is permitted.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of this request, subject to the following conditions:
1) A Tree Removal Permit is required at the time of construction.
Item # 10
Page 5 of 5
2) Label various materials on Elevations.

MEMORANDUM
TO:Mayor and City Council
FROM:Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E., Director of Engineering and Public Works
DATE:July 12, 2005
REF:Consider approval of a resolution adopting the approved preferred alignment of
Sandy Lake Road (Coppell Road to Denton Tap Road) as described in the
Memorandum of Agreement, and authorizing the Mayor to sign; and consider
approval of the Supplemental Agreement to the Master Agreement Governing
Transportation Major Capital Improvement Projects between the County of Dallas
and the City of Coppell, and authorizing the City Manager to sign.
In March 2000, the Engineering Department submitted Sandy Lake Road (S.H. 121 to Denton
Tap Road) to Dallas County for consideration of partial funding through the Major Capital
Improvement Program (MCIP). The project was approved and received funding in the amount of
$1,300,000 for the fiscal year (FY) 2006. The City Council approved the Master Agreement that
defined the partnership and roles of the County and the City in association with the project on
December 12, 2000. An engineering contract with Teague Nall and Perkins (TNP) for the design
of the project was also approved during the same City Council meeting. The County authorized
the Master Agreement by court order dated April 24, 2001.
Teague Nall and Perkins was directed to prepare the construction plans in two phases, Phase 'A'
(S.H. 121 to Coppell Road N.) and Phase 'B' (Coppell Road N. to Denton Tap Road). The City
realized that the eastern section of Sandy Lake Road had numerous issues that would affect
construction. These included tree removal, right-of-way acquisition, existing landscaping and
irrigation, and the relocation of four of the smaller TXU electric transmission lines. Phasing the
project allowed the City the opportunity to start construction of Phase 'A' prior to FY 2006 since
this section of Sandy Lake Road provides commercial traffic access to the facilities located along
Royal Lane, Sandy Lake Road, and Freeport Parkway.
The City met with the County several times regarding this project and they were aware that the
project would be designed and constructed in two phases. They requested that the City
complete and submit the required Design and Construction Criteria sheets for both phases of the
roadway. In February 2003, the City requested the County consider moving all or a portion of
the $1,300,000 forward for use on the construction of Phase 'A'. The City contacted the County
again in October 2004, to inquire if a decision had been made and to ensure that we were
following the necessary steps for funding. We were told that Dallas County staff had decided
not to participate on Phase 'A' and that the entire amount would be available for Phase 'B', which
was scheduled to start construction after FY 2006. The City then held a public meeting for Phase
'B' on December 7, 2004 for the purpose of reaching a consensus on the design and alignment of
the project as presented in the schematic design plans dated December 2001. Design of Phase 'A'
is now 95% complete and TNP is ready to start the preliminary design of Phase 'B'. The next
step in the funding process is for the City to enter into a Supplemental Agreement with the
County. The supplemental Agreement incorporates the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) and
Attachment 'A' - Design and Construction Criteria. It establishes the contractual rights and
responsibilities of both entities and must be accompanied by a resolution adopting the preferred

Sandy Lake Road, from Coppell Road North to Denton Tap, is almost completely developed
with residential subdivisions. Right-of-way will be required on both sides of the existing
roadway.
The existing irrigation and landscaping adjacent to the right-of-way, and currently maintained by
an HOA, is an issue that will have to be addressed.
Four of the smaller TXU Electric transmission poles will need to be relocated. They are located
within an exclusive TXU easement and the relocation will be an expense of the City.
There are overhead power lines on the south of Sandy Lake and five underground power line
crossings that will need to be relocated. There is an overhead power line on the north side of the
roadway that will need to be relocated. There are several underground lines that feed off of this
line that will have to be evaluated.
There is a high-pressure 24-inch gas line that crossed the roadway that may require lowering.
There are gas distribution lines on both the north and south side of the roadway that will need to
be relocated.
Access across construction areas will need to be provided throughout all phases of construction.
Temporary pavement will be needed to accommodate construction and to allow the existing
roadway to remain in use. Most intersections will need to be constructed in phases to facilitate

PUBLIC MEETING NOTES
On December 7, 2004, the City of Coppell Engineering Department hosted a public meeting
concerning design aspects of W. Sandy Lake Road. Over 1000 notices were sent to citizens in
the adjacent subdivisions, and information was posted on the website and published in the local
paper. Forty-four citizens attended the meeting along with three members of the consulting firm,
Teague Nall and Perkins, Inc., and three city staff members
Prior to the meeting, there was discussion on a one-to-one basis with citizens. The schematic
design plans, dated December 2001, were available for review. The number one concern was the
removal of trees adjacent to Sandy Lake Road. Most citizens seemed resolved to the fact that
trees would have to be removed to complete the project.
The formal part of the public meeting started with a review of how the city got to where it is
today, which included information from the City of Coppell’s Thoroughfare Plan dating back to
1985 and leading up to the bond election in 1999. The schematic design plans were presented
for discussion. The timetable for construction was discussed. Sandy Lake Road (from S.H. 121
to Coppell Road N.) is anticipated to go out to bid in the second quarter of 2005 and Sandy Lake
Road (from Coppell Road N. to Denton Tap Road) is anticipated to go out to bid in the third
quarter of 2007.
The following issues were either resolved during the meeting or will be taken into further
consideration by City staff as design of the roadway progresses:
1. There was a question about the placement of the proposed trail system on the south side of
the roadway within a subdivision’s common area.
The city will contact the president of the Home Owner’s Association (HOA) to determine
how decisions are made for that particular HOA, either by the board or by the body. The city
will make a presentation at a future HOA meeting and let the HOA determine if and where
the trail can be constructed in the common area.
2. There was concern about overall tree removal and the proposed landscape plan. There were
several questions concerning what type of landscaping will be planted.
16
The landscape plan (drought tolerant plants) will replicate what is placed along Sandy Lake
Road (Denton Tap Road to MacArthur Boulevard). Several citizens expressed an opinion
that they did not like what was planted in Sandy Lake Road.
3. There was concern for the spacing of the median openings and the fact that not every street
can have a median opening.
Every subdivision will have some type of median opening at one of the access points into the
subdivision.
4. There was some concern expressed by several residents along the north side of the existing
road that more of the proposed roadway was being built towards the north than the south.
There are existing TXU transmission lines on the south side and the city is limited in its
ability to work within their easement. The city will explore the possibility of moving the
transmission poles to the median and then shifting the road south approximately eight to ten
feet. The moving of the transmission poles will take City Council approval. The city will
have to pay additional design fees for the consultant to redesign the roadway and the city will
have to pay TXU to relocate their poles to the median.
5. Several citizens in the Woodlands of Coppell subdivision requested that a walkway be
constructed beneath the proposed bridge on Cottonwood Creek so that children could cross
Sandy Lake Road at that location and then walk down Winding Hollow to Cottonwood Creek
Elementary.
The city has some concerns on whether a walkway beneath the bridge will be utilized by
children. In order to comply with the American with Disabilities Act, it will require a
lengthy meandering walkway from the street section to the section beneath the bridge. The
city does have several of these walkways in place and will take this request into
consideration as the design progresses.
The city anticipates having a follow-up public meeting in 2006.

AGENDA REQUEST FORM
ITEM CAPTION: Consider approval of an Ordinance denying the request by Atmos Energy Corporation to
implement an annual gas reliability infrastructure program rate increase, providing for notice hereof to said
company, and authorizing the Mayor to sign.
GOAL(S):
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On December 17, 2004, Atmos Energy Corp. filed with the city of Coppell a request
for an annual gas reliability infrastructure program (GRIP) rate increase for our customers. Based on our gas rate
attorney’s recommendation, the city of Coppell passed a resolution on January 25, 2005 suspending Atmos’
request to implement this new type of rate increase referred to as GRIP surcharges.
Based on our legal counsel’s recommendation and our consultant’s review of the rate increase filings, staff
believes Atmos’ rate increase request is unjustified, unreasonable and is not in compliance with the GRIP statute.
Therefore, staff is recommending the Ordinance denying Atmos’ GRIP rate increase request be approved.

RATE INCREASE IN THIS MUNICIPALITY, AS A PART OF THE
COMPANY’S STATEWIDE GAS UTILITY DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM;
APPROVING COOPERATION WITH OTHER CITIES WITHIN THE
ATMOS ENERGY CORP., MID-TEX DIVISION DISTRIBUTION
SYSTEM AS PART OF THE ATMOS CITIES STEERING COMMITTEE
(ACSC); AUTHORIZING ACSC TO HIRE LEGAL AND CONSULTING
SERVICES AND TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE COMPANY AND DIRECT
ANY NECESSARY LITIGATION; AUTHORIZING INTERVENTION AS
PART OF ACSC IN ANY APPEAL OF THE CITY’S ACTION TO THE
RAILROAD COMMISSION; APPROVING COSTS INCURRED AS
REASONABLE AND PROVIDING A REQUIREMENT FOR PROMPT
REIMBURSEMENT OF COSTS; FINDING THAT THE MEETING AT
WHICH THIS ORDINANCE IS PASSED IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS
REQUIRED BY LAW; AND PROVIDING FOR NOTICE OF THIS
ORDINANCE TO ATMOS ENERGY CORP., MID-TEX DIVISION.
WHEREAS, on or about December 17, 2004, Atmos Energy Corp., Mid-Tex Division,
(the “Company”) filed with the City of Coppell (“City”), a request pursuant to Texas Utilities
Code § 104.301 for an annual gas reliability infrastructure program (GRIP) rate increase for
customers on the Company’s statewide gas utility system to be effective February 15, 2005, and
subsequently extended that effective date until March 4, 2005, for some cities on its system ; and
WHEREAS, the City has exclusive original jurisdiction to evaluate the Company’s
request as it pertains to the distribution facilities located within the City, pursuant to Texas
Utilities Code §§ 102.001(b) and 103.001; and
WHEREAS, the City timely acted to suspend the effective date of Atmos’ proposed rate
increase; and
WHEREAS, it is reasonable for the City of Coppell to cooperate with other cities in a
coalition of cities in opposition to the Company’s filing at the Railroad Commission
(“Commission”), said coalition being known as Atmos Cities Steering Committee (“ACSC”), in
any appeal of the cities’ actions to the Commission; and
WHEREAS, the Gas Utility Regulatory Act grants local regulatory authorities the right to
intervene in rate proceedings filed at the Railroad Commission; and
WHEREAS, the Texas Utilities Code § 103.022 provides that costs incurred by the City
in ratemaking activities are to be reimbursed by the regulated utility; and
2
WHEREAS, ACSC’s rate case expenses incurred in this proceeding are reasonable and
should be reimbursed by the Company; and
WHEREAS, counsel for ACSC, upon review of the Company’s filing and upon
consultation with various consultants, recommends finding that the Company’s proposal is
unjustified, unreasonable and is not in compliance with the GRIP statute (Texas Utilities Code
§ 104.301) either in fact or in law; and
WHEREAS, information provided by the Company in response to ACSC’s requests for
information indicates that the Company actually decreased per-customer investment in
infrastructure during calendar year 2003; and
WHEREAS, the Company has publicly stated that it will receive substantial profit in
2005 over that approved by the Commission in GUD No. 9400; and
WHEREAS, the Company’s GRIP request fails to account for growth in numbers of
customers, thereby undercounting the revenues it will receive from its proposed GRIP rate
increase; and
WHEREAS, the Company’s GRIP request fails to recognize that GUD No. 9400 rates
included profit based on TXU Corporation’s capital structure rather than Atmos Energy Corp.’s
current capital structure, which justifies a lower rate of return; and
WHEREAS, the information reviewed by the ACSC consultants indicates that
implementation of the Company’s GRIP request would result in further over-earning by the
Company above that approved by the Commission in GUD No. 9400; and
WHEREAS, in consideration of the city taking action before August 12, 2005, on the
currently pending GRIP request, the Company has agreed not to file any additional GRIP
requests before September 15, 2005.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF COPPELL, TEXAS:
SECTION 1. That the Company’s GRIP rate increase request is found to be unjustified,
unreasonable and in violation of the GRIP statute and is therefore denied in all respects. The
defects in the request include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) the Company improperly
calculated its 2003 rate base; (b) the Company included in its calculation projects unrelated to
system improvement; (c) the Company failed to recognize the increased revenues it is now
receiving due to increased rates approved by the Commission in GUD No. 9400 and due to
customer growth; (d) information supplied by the Company indicated that the Company actually
decreased its per-customer investment in infrastructure in calendar year 2003; (e) approval of the
Company’s GRIP request would result in over-earning by the Company in the year of
implementation; and (f) the Company has failed to demonstrate that it meets the statutory
3
prerequisites to qualify for a GRIP rate increase or that its proposed method of implementation
of the GRIP statute constitutes a constitutional application of the statute.
SECTION 2. That the City is authorized to cooperate with other Cities within the
Company’s Distribution System that have formed ACSC to hire and direct legal counsel and
consultants, negotiate with the Company, make recommendations to the City regarding
reasonable rates and to direct any necessary litigation associated with an appeal of this ordinance
to the Commission.
SECTION 3. That the costs incurred by ACSC in reviewing the Company’s GRIP
request and representing ACSC in this proceeding are hereby found to be reasonable and, upon
submission to the Company, shall be promptly reimbursed by the Company.
SECTION 4. That the City is authorized to intervene in any appeal of the city’s action
filed at the Commission, and to participate in any such appeal as a member of ACSC.
SECTION 5. That this Ordinance shall become effective immediately from and after its
passage, as the law and charter in such cases provide.
SECTION 6. That it is hereby officially found and determined that the meeting at which
this Ordinance is passed is open to the public as required by law and that public notice of the
time, place and purpose of said meeting was given as required.
