PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, in 1872 J. Sterling Morton proposed to the Nebraska Board of
Agriculture that a special day be set aside for the planting of trees; and
WHEREAS, this holiday, called Arbor Day, was first observed with the planting
of more that a million trees in Nebraska; and
WHEREAS, 2007 is the 135th anniversary of the holiday and Arbor Day is now
observed throughout the nation and the world; and
WHEREAS, trees can reduce the erosion of our precious top soil by wind and
water, cut heating and cooling costs, moderate the temperature, clean the air, produce
life-giving oxygen, and provide habitat for wildlife; and
WHEREAS, trees are a renewable resource giving us paper, wood for our homes,
fuel for our fires, and beautify our community; and
WHEREAS, trees, wherever they are planted, are a source of joy and spiritual
renewal.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Douglas N. Stover, Mayor of the City of Coppell, do
hereby proclaim April 21, 2007 as

PROCLAMATION
Consider approval of a Proclamation naming the week of April 22 through April 28, 2007 as NATIONAL CRIME VICTIMS'
RIGHTS WEEK, and authorizing the Mayor to sign.
National Crime Victims' Rights Week is a time to recognize that over 23 million people in America are touched by
crime each year and of those, 5.2 million are victims of violent crime.
National Crime Victims' Rights Week offers us all the opportunity to recommit ourselves to ensuring that every victim is
afforded his or her legal rights and treated as a crucial participant in our criminal justice system.
Staff recommends approval.
)victims
Proclamation
WHEREAS, Coppell continues to make strides in reducing the crime rate, we must
remember that there are still far too many victims of crime. Those who have suffered a violation
of their person, property, or trust deserve to be treated with dignity and respect by our criminal
and juvenile justice systems and by society at large.
WHEREAS, We recognize that our response to crime victims plays an important role in
their efforts to rebuild their lives following the offense. America must increase its efforts to
protect, restore and expand crime victims’ rights and services so that they apply to every victim,
every time; and
WHEREAS, While Coppell has adopted laws to protect the rights of victims of crime
and provide them certain essential services, all of us must do what we can to adhere not only to
the letter of the victims’ rights laws but the spirit of those laws as well. Let us acknowledge that,
just as government must be open to its citizens, our system of justice must be open to victims of
crime.
WHEREAS, The City of Coppell is joining forces with victim service programs,
criminal justice officials, and concerned citizens throughout Coppell, Dallas County, Texas and
America to raise awareness of victims’ rights and observe National Crime Victims’ Rights
Week;

PRESENTATION
Recognition of receipt by the Park and Recreation Department, of the Texas Recreation and Park Society Lone Star
Programming Award.
The Texas Recreation and Park Society annually awards cities for innovations in design, management, promotions and
new program ideas. In February 2007, the Coppell Parks and Recreation Department was awarded the Lone Star
Programming award, for the initiation of Kidz Connect, a summer camp/classroom program that was started in the
summer of 2006 at the Aquatic and Recreation Center.
No Action requested
^TRAPSAward - 1AR
• The Coppell Parks and Recreation Department was recently awarded the Lone Star
Programming Award by the Texas Recreation & Park Society for cities with populations
between 20,000 and 50,000.
• KidzConnect was started in the summer of 2006 as an alternative program to the traditional
summer day camp program that Parks & Recreation had run for 10+ years. Ester Moreno,
who at that time was the Recreation Supervisor at the Aquatics Center, initiated the program.
• The concept of this program was to emulate a Kids University program, where children, ages
3-12, could sign up for a single class or a variety of classes, which they would take for a
week. The program was 3 weeks long and held at the Aquatics Center. Each day, 5 program
offering slots in each of three age categories were available to sign up for, and the child
would do this each day, Monday through Friday. In addition, children could bring a lunch or
purchase a lunch from the Snack Shack. Before and after childcare were provided. So
working parents could take advantage of this as a day camp type program, and it could also
be used to supplement summer activities by picking a class at a certain time of the day to
attend by itself.
• The program used classroom, lobby and outdoor space at the Aquatics Center, Wagon Wheel
Tennis Courts, Coppell Animal Shelter, William T. Cosby Library and the Coppell
Community Gardens for classroom sites. The 38 Instructors were often CISD teachers, as
well as other contract instructors used by the City of Coppell, as well as employees of the
city. Programs offered were a wide range of sports, educational, crafts and fitness, as well as
classes that were just plain fun!
• Over the course of the three weeks last summer, 194 children participated in a total of 71
Kidz Connect offerings. The program was so popular that it is too large to host at the center
this summer. We anticipate a 50% increase in numbers and have elected to move to Coppell
Middle School North, where we will have access to 10 classrooms and the gymnasiums, as
well as the track and tennis courts, and will increase the number of weeks to 4 (entire month
of June). We will continue to use the Coppell Community Garden and the Animal Shelter, as
well. This summer there are 64 different programs offered in 264 different time slots over the
4 week program.

Consider approval of Case No. PD-224-HC, Northlake College, zoning change request from C (Commercial), HC
(Highway Commercial) and LI (Light Industrial) to PD-224-HC (Planned Development-224-Highway Commercial) for
college and ancillary uses on approximately 37 acres of property and to attach a Detail Site Plan for Phase 1 to allow
the construction of a 37,000-square-foot building on approximately 10 acres of property located at the southeast
corner of S.H. 121 and W. Sandy Lake Road.
The following P&Z conditions remain outstanding:
Concept Site Plan
1) Delete proposed parking Phase 1 data box, relates to City of Irving Zoning Standards.
The information for Coppell is adequately covered in the other data box. (PARTIALLY MET)
Detail Site Plan
1) Fire Hydrant Layout and curve radii for fire lanes must meet minimum standards.
(SEE CONTINUATION OF CONDITIONS ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE)
On March 15, 2007, the Planning Commission recommended approval
of this zoning change (4-0-1), subject to the above-stated conditions.
(Commissioner Haas abstained due to Conflict of Interest).
Staff recommends APPROVAL.
@1PD-224-HC, NL Coll. 1-AR

(CONTINUATION OF CONDITIONS)
Preliminary Landscape Plan
1) Add the dimension of the boundaries of the property. Existing and proposed utility easements need to be
indicated to determine if there are conflicts with proposed plantings.
Engineering Department Comments:
1) Any future median cuts will also require the construction of the corresponding left turn bays.
2) Be advised that even though you are showing a proposed 10" sewer line to flow to the south and tie into the
existing 8" sewer line may be inadequate for your development. The City of Coppell is in the process of
obtaining a sewer analysis for this property analyzing capacity through the existing 8" sewer line to the north
or tying into the existing 8" at the intersection of Royal Lane and Northpoint Dr. or running a completely new
sewer line that would go to the intersection of Royal Lane and Northpoint Dr., and then go east on Northpoint
Dr. and tie into an existing 15" sewer line in Cottonwood Creek.
Also, please contact Jeff Curry at (972) 888-1330 to discuss electric easement requirements.

ITEM #6 Page 1 of 5
HISTORY: This property was zoned a Light Industrial district in 1983. In April
2003, the Planning and Zoning Commission called a public hearing
for a portion of this property to amend the designation on the Future
Land Use Map from Regional Retail and Light Industrial/Showroom
to Freeway Commercial. Also at that time, the zoning classification
of Light Industrial was recommended to be changed to Highway
Commercial to encourage the development of well-designed retail,
commercial and/or office development, versus big-box tilt-wall
industrial buildings along the frontages of S.H. 121 and Sandy Lake
Road. City Council approved the rezoning and Land Use Map
amendment in May of that year.
TRANSPORTATION: State Highway 121 is designated as a freeway; improvements are not
funded at this time.
Sandy Lake Road has recently been improved to a four-lane divided
thoroughfare within right-of-way sufficient for a six-lane road.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- Light Industrial and undeveloped, LI
South - Light Industrial and mini-warehouses, LI and S-1204-C/LI
East - Light Industrial and undeveloped, LI
West - City of Grapevine, undeveloped
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
Freeway Commercial and Light Industrial/Showroom uses.
DISCUSSION: This request is to establish a PD for college and ancillary uses on 37 acres of
property and to allow the first phase development of a multi-purpose
building, with 300 parking spaces, on approximately 10 acres. Future plans
for expansion onto the remaining 27 acres have not been designed or funded
at this time; however, the DCCC District will retain ownership and
development rights until such time that the expansion is warranted.
The initial phase of development will include a 36,228-square-foot building,
which will contain 16 classrooms, a multi-purpose room, learning resource
center, faculty offices and ancillary uses. The Detail Site Plan for Phase 1
includes a U-shaped building encircling a landscaped courtyard with an
additional enclosed courtyard/reading area along the north side of the
building adjacent to the Learning Resource Center.
The plan indicates 300 parking spaces for this phase of development. There
are various methods to determine the amount of parking that is required for
this facility. The Coppell Zoning Ordinance contains two different
ITEM #6 Page 2 of 5
requirements for parking for this use, in Sec. 12-31-6. Parking requirements
based on use:
“5. College or university: One space per each day student”
Under this ratio 456 spaces would be required. However, an alternative
requirement contained in the Zoning Ordinance reads as follows:
“32. School, secondary, and college: One parking space for each
four seats in the main auditorium or eight spaces for each classroom,
whichever is greater”
This would reduce the requirement to 128 parking spaces.
A parking demand study conducted for the Northlake Campus in Irving,
determined that parking should be provided at a ratio of 0.281 spaces per
campus population (students plus staff) which would equate to 166 spaces.
Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the applicant’s proposed 300
parking spaces would be sufficient. In the event that there is a shortage of
parking, there is an abundance of land under DCCC ownership that could be
used for additional parking.
The Landscape Plan appears to be generally compliant with the provisions
of the Landscape Ordinance. Perimeter landscape areas with street trees are
being provided along Sandy Lake Road and Royal Lane. Perimeter trees are
not being provided along the west property line at this time in order to
accommodate future expansion. At the time of future expansion, the
required trees will be provided. The parking lot contains all but two of the
required landscape islands with overstory trees. The provision of these
islands and trees are included in the conditions for approval. Finally, non-
vehicular landscape areas are being provided at the corner of Sandy Lake
and Royal and within the courtyard areas. There are, however, numerous
drafting errors and inconsistencies on the Landscape Plan and associated
data tables, which are numerated under the conditions of approval.
The elevations of the building indicate the main entry to be on Royal Lane.
The building has been designed so that there is no unsightly rear façade
facing the other street frontages. The building will be a combination of brick
and cast stone with angular roof lines and clear story windows. There is a
discrepancy on the elevation sheets where the accent material is called out
as rough cut stone, while the material list and the color board indicate a
smooth, cast stone. Also, the color board indicates two colors of standing
seam metal roof, where only one is specified on the elevation sheet.
No attached signs have been indicated on the building elevations and the
elevations for the monument signs are also not included. Per the Sign
Ordinance, only one monument sign would be permitted; however, given
the size and location, another sign could be approved, via this PD. It is
recommended that one sign be placed at the intersection of Royal and Sandy
Lake and the second at the main entrance to the campus. Additional
directional signs would also be permitted.
ITEM #6 Page 3 of 5
Access to this facility will be from Royal Lane. The southern driveway has
been relocated to align with the existing median opening on Royal Lane.
However, the left turn storage lane will have to be constructed by the
applicant to utilize this median opening. A future median opening to serve
the northern driveway is also indicated on the site plan which will also need
to be constructed by the applicant.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of PD-224-HC Northlake College,
subject to the following conditions:
Concept Site Plan
1. Delete proposed parking Phase 1 data box, relates to City of Irving Zoning
Standards. The information for Coppell is adequately covered in the other
data box.
Detail Site Plan
1) Revise title to state “Detail Site Plan” instead of “Paving Plan”.
2) Fire Hydrant Layout and curve radii for fire lanes must be included.
3) Add the dimension of the boundaries of the property.
Preliminary Landscape Plan
1) The Plant Schedule indicates 99 trees are being proposed, the Data Table
indicates 140 being provided and the Plan indicates 89 trees. The
discrepancies in these tree counts need to be rectified.
2) There are “8 – CM” shown on the landscape plan but “8 – JM” are
indicated on the Plant schedule - are they intended to be Crape Myrtles or
Japanese Maples?
3) Add a landscape island with an overstory tree at the end of the northern-
most row of parking.
4) Add the dimension of the boundaries of the property.
5) Existing and proposed utilities easements need to be indicated to determine
if there are conflicts with proposed plantings.
6) Include the dimension perimeter width of the landscape buffer.
7) Show location of monument signs.
Elevations
1) Include elevations of proposed monument signs, including dimensions,
total square footage, materials, colors, font, and light source, if any. It is
suggested that one sign be located at the corner of Sandy Lake and Royal
and the other at the main entrance drive.
2) Indicate the location, size and color of attached signage.
3) Resolve the discrepancy in the type of accent material proposed for this
facility.
4) Clarify the color of the standing seam metal roof.
ITEM #6 Page 4 of 5
Engineering Department Comments:
1) Any future median cuts will also require the construction of the
corresponding left turn bays.
2) Please be advised that even though you are showing a proposed 10" sewer
line to flow to the south and tie into the existing 8" sewer line may be
inadequate for your development. The City of Coppell is in the process of
obtaining a sewer analysis for this property analyzing capacity through the
existing 8" sewer line to the north or tying into the existing 8" at the
intersection of Royal Lane and Northpoint Dr. or running a completely
new sewer line that would go to the intersection of Royal Lane and
Northpoint Dr., and then go east on Northpoint Dr. and tie into an existing
15" sewer line in Cottonwood Creek.
Contact Jeff Curry at (972) 888-1330 to discuss electric easement
requirements.
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.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Coppell Comprehensive Master Plan shows the property
as suitable for Neighborhood Retail uses.
DISCUSSION: This request is for a retail wine store with seating for 20 patrons for wine
tastings. The wine will be displayed both at room temperature and within a
climate-controlled cellar. Beer in coolers will also be available for sale. Per
the definition of Convenience Store, as amended in Ordinance #91500-A-
445:
“Convenience Store: A small retail store, generally under 3,000
square feet, which typically sells groceries and retail sales of non-
food items or prepared foods, hot and cold beverages and packaged
beverages or a combination. The outside storage or display and sale
in the open, outside the building of groceries, packaged beverages
and consumer goods and drive-through or drive-up service is
prohibited.”
This use requires a Special Use Permit. Compliance with all applicable

HISTORY: City Council rezoned the property from O (Office) and R (Retail) to C
(Commercial) in October of 1995, in compliance with the terms of an agreement
settling a lawsuit. The Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council
approved a Preliminary Plat for the property and a Concept Plan for the Coppell
Crossing retail center to allow for a five-lot, six-building retail development to
accommodate a mixture of retail, office and restaurant uses early in 1998. During
the fourth quarter of 1998, the applicant submitted a commercial planned
development zoning change request, which both the Planning and Zoning
Commission and City Council denied. Shortly thereafter, the applicant submitted a
ITEM # 8 Page 1 of 3
variance request to the Board of Adjustment to allow the 7,200-sq.-ft. of required
perimeter landscaping to be incorporated in the interior landscaping. On January 7,
1999, the Board of Adjustment granted this request. Subsequently, City Council
approved the Detail Site Plan on March 9, 1999.
TRANSPORTATION: MacArthur Blvd. is designated as a P6D, six-lane divided
thoroughfare, with 110-feet of right-of-way. This road is currently
built as a six-lane divided thoroughfare adjacent to this site.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North – Transmission Line & Retail; A (Agriculture) & C (Commercial)
South – Vacant & Retail; C (Commercial) & PD-157R6-C (Planned Development 157-
Revision 6-Commercial)
East – Retail shopping center; R (Retail)
West – Transmission Line and residential; A (Agriculture) and SF-9 (Single Family-9)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The 1996 Comprehensive Master Plan shows the property as
suitable for Regional Retail uses.
DISCUSSION: The proposal is for an upscale dog day care and boarding facility (6,484-
square-feet) with a screened outdoor play area (3,900-square-feet). The
Floor Plan proposes 52 kennels and three indoor and three outdoor play
areas. The hours of operation are limited to 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday
through Friday and 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. & 4 p.m. to 7 p.m Saturday & Sunday.
The applicant has provided staff with a recent Site Plan and parking analysis
for the entire shopping center outlining the lease spaces with tenant names
and parking required. The lease space area is 6,484-square-feet and would
require 32 parking spaces under the retail parking requirements (1 space per
200-square-feet). This is an unrealistic requirement for a dog day care
facility because the majority of the parking needed for this type use would
be for the employees, and only a few spaces would be used frequently for
customers to pick up or drop off dogs, not for any long-term parking,
Hence, the rationale for treating this use similar to a day care requiring one
space per 10 children, or in this case, one per 10 dogs is relevant Based on
the dog capacity provided by the applicant, they have enough room for a
maximum 60 boarders and 40 day campers, totaling a maximum 100 dogs at
one time. This would bring the required parking figure to 10 spaces for the
business. The retail center is left with 27 additional parking spaces above
and beyond what would be required, even if the remaining vacant space
were leased to retailers and a previous restaurant lease space reoccupied.
The applicant has provided their Adjusted Parking Analysis of the center,
and this is attached. In their calculations, adjustments are made based on
the unique parking needs for the take/out delivery restaurants, the dance
ITEM # 8 Page 2 of 3
studio and the dry cleaners. This indicates that 31 parking spaces that are
already accounted for are not being used, bringing the actual total of extra
parking to 58 spaces.
The screened outdoor play area is proposed to extend to the south and
convert 11 existing parking spaces and driveway into a three partitioned
outdoor play areas (these parking spaces were already excluded from all of
the previously mentioned parking calculations). The drive approach into the
former parking area will also be converted into a landscape area. There are
five trees that will be relocated to the outside of the 8’ wall, and shrubs will
be added to soften the appearance. The enclosure will match the existing
structure by using the same brick and cap. There is a “Landscape Plan –
Before and After” rendering attached depicting how this will appear.
The attached signage meets the maximum total size requirements of the
Zoning Ordinance. The two attached signs total 91-square-feet, and this is
under the maximum 94-square feet (one-square-foot signage per linear feet of
lease space width) permitted.
As mentioned in the attached proposal, Camp Bow Wow proposes to manage
their waste disposal in the same manner as the City’s Animal Shelter and
Adoption Center. The method for cleaning and draining the outdoor play area
will need to be approved prior to obtaining a building permit. The applicants
has expressed their intent to comply with all City and State requirements, and
staff feels comfortable recommending approval.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of the Special Use Permit, subject to the
following conditions being met:
1) Contact Larry Redick at (972) 323-8917 to discuss electric service
requirements.
2) Transplanting of trees should be done at a time deemed appropriate by a
landscape architect.
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.

PARKING ANALYSIS
The proposed addition of the enclosed outdoor break area would require converting the side
parking lot adjacent to the building. This would reduce available parking for the development by
11 spaces.
Extensive analysis was completed to insure that the conversion of the parking lot would not
adversely affect the parking needs of all present and future tenants of Coppell Crossing.
Based on the standard parking ratios, the development has 38 additional parking spaces,
leaving 27 additional spaces after the Camp Bow Wow reduction. With further consideration of
the individual business uses, there would actually be 58 additional parking spaces even after
the reduction. Please see a summary of the calculation below.

Notes:

(b) The two take out restaurants, Pizza Inn and Fresh Wok, were calculated at standard
restaurant rates resulting in 21 spaces. Both locations do not have customer seating and are
only pick up and delivery locations requiring 8 spaces.
(c) The dance studio was calculated at standard retail rates with 25 spaces, but actual activity is
drop off and pick up of dance students. A total of 10 spaces are needed to accommodate peak
times and employee parking.
(d) The dry cleaner was calculated at retail rates with 8 spaces, but only requires 5 for customer
drop off and pick up and employee parking.

PARKING ANALYSIS
Camp Bow Wow Parking Requirements
There are no specific parking standards for this type of use, so CBW has calculated the
parking requirements as the number of employees plus the number of customers. If we
were to calculate the need in a manner similar to a childcare facility, CBW would require
3-5 employee parking spaces and 3-5 customer parking spaces, for a total of 6-10
spaces.
We used a total of 10 spaces in our parking analysis to allow for occasional exceptions
to the typical parking patterns and to insure we are not putting a strain on the parking
needs of the development.
Employee Parking:
CBW requires a ratio of one employee to every 15 dogs. Based on the square footage,
the maximum capacity is 100 dogs (60 boarders and 40 day campers). This would
require 6 employees during peak weeks. However, based on our projections and
analysis of similar locations, we do not anticipate reaching maximum capacity in the
area of day campers, so 5 employee spaces would be sufficient even during peak
times.
Customer Parking:
There are never more than 2-3 clients at the facility at a time and the traffic typically
flows very evenly as people drop off and pick up at varied times throughout the day .
Pick-ups and drop-offs for boarding dogs are less frequent because of the extended
lengths of stay. For the day campers, pick-up and drop-off would only take a couple of
minutes because of the repetitive nature of the service. Also, the arrival and departure
times vary due to the half-day and full-day programs that are offered.

Proposed Floor Plan
•There are currently 11 trees in the area adjacent to the Camp Bow Wow space. With the planned addition of the outdoor area, 5 trees will be inside of the break area. We are proposing to transplant these 5 trees to the exterior of the break area at a time deemed favorable by a landscape architect.•The drive into the former parking area will be converted into anadditional landscape area.•Camp Bow Wow will install supplemental landscaping along the walls of the outdoor play area. Upon recommendation of the Parks & Recreations Department, we will plant wax myrtles on each end of the walls and will line the walls with dwarf burford hollies.•The above changes are depicted on the following two pages.Landscape Plan

•After discussions with the Coppell Animal Services Manager, Camp Bow Wow will handle waste disposal in the same manner as the City facility.•Solid waste will be picked up immediately as it occurs. The waste will be bagged separately in trash compactor bags and placed in galvanized steel trash cans with secured lids. The bags will then be disposed of in the dumpster located on the Camp Bow Wow site.•The outdoor break area is cleaned during and at the end of each day with water and a bio-degradable cleaner that can be absorbed into the earth. In order to prevent entrance of the cleaning materials into the storm sewer, the drain for the outdoor area will be capped during the daily cleaning. After the cleaning, this drainage will be pumped out and disposed of through the interior plumbing system.Waste Disposal
Parking Analysis•Based on the required parking ratios by business use, the Coppell Crossing development currently has 38 extra spaces.•The Camp Bow Wow reduction of 11 spaces will leave 27 extra spaces.•There are several tenants that are exceptions to the standard ratios such as take out restaurants and dry cleaners. Making adjustments for these exceptions brings the total number of extra parking spaces to 58, even after the Camp Bow Wow reduction.•Detailed calculations and the explanation of the parking requirements for Camp Bow Wow are available for review.•The following site plan shows the current tenants, square footage, business use, and required parking.

Page 1 of 3
HISTORY: A Plat and Special Use Permit were approved for this project in June
2004, which have since expired due to lack of filing and development,
respectively.
TRANSPORTATION: Denton Tap is a P6D, six-lane divided thoroughfare built to standard within a
120-foot right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North – Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, C (Commercial, S-1155)
South – Bloom Embroidery building, C (Commercial)
East – Callahan (Green Oaks) Addition, PD-195-O
West – Residential, PD-198-SF-7
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable for Mixed Use.
DISCUSSION: This is a proposal for a 1,400-square-foot stand-alone donut shop and café
along the west side of Denton Tap Road, just south of Dickey’s Barbecue
Pit. The Site Plan shows joint access with the newly constructed Bloom
Embroidery building to the south and a connection into Dickey’s fire lane
to the north. This will provide the much needed mutual access for
compatible development types. The parking required for a restaurant is
one space per 100-square feet. The applicant is meeting that requirement
by showing 14 spaces. All and all, the Site Plan is well drafted and
complete.
The Landscape Plan is in accordance with the landscape area requirements
for the three levels of landscaping (perimeter, nonvehicular, and interior),
but some technical revisions need to be made. First, two additional Cedar
Elms are needed along Denton Tap, as this is classified as a Primary
Image Zone in the Streetscape Plan of the Subdivision Ordinance and has
a greater requirement calling for trees every 40’ in place of the standard
50’ separation.
The 92% brick shown on the Elevations exceeds the minimum 80% required,
the two attached signs total the maximum permitted at 30-square feet (1-
square foot per linear feet of building frontage), and the monument sign
meets the maximum 40-square feet allowed (maximum 4’x10’ dimensions).
Staff is asking the applicant to revise the monument sign to indicate that the
letters are to be black and pin mounted in place of the large metal plate
Item # 12
Page 2 of 3
indicated on the elevations. There is a 6’ proposed screening wall along the
rear that will match the existing wall to the south.
There are six tables and one dining counter shown on the Floor Plan. The
total number of chairs shown is 21. The hours of operation shall not exceed
5 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends approval of the Special Use Permit, subject to the following conditions
being met:
1) Revise Landscape Plan to show two additional Cedar Elms along Denton Tap
Road (one tree required per 40-lineal feet along a Primary Image Zone), and
one overstory tree in each landscape island (a minimum 150-square-foot
landscape island required with an overstory tree at the end of each parking
row).
2) Revise note on the sign elevation to read “pin mounted, black letters on EIFS
to match the building cap, on each side” in place of the “metal signage, each
side” note.
3) The site shall be developed in accordance with the Site Plan, revised
Landscape Plan, revised Elevations and Floor Plan.
4) The hours of operation shall not exceed 5 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week as
stated on the Floor Plan.
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.

mutual access and fire lane easement begins at the southern property line,
and ties-in with Dickey’s fire lane and access easement to the north. A
10’ sidewalk and utility easement is proposed running north to south,
abutting the Denton Tap right-of-way. Staff is comfortable recommending
approval as the plat is in compliance with all Subdivision Ordinance
requirements and no outstanding conditions remain.

HISTORY: There has been no recent zoning/plating history on the subject
tract.
TRANSPORTATION: Crestside Drive is a commercial, concrete paved street 37-feet
wide, contained within a 60-foot right-of-way.
ITEM #15 Page 1 of 3
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North – warehouse building; LI (Light Industrial)
South – warehouse building; LI (Light Industrial)
East – warehouse building and some open space; LI (Light Industrial)
West – warehouse buildings and some open space; LI (Light Industrial)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Coppell Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable
for office, showroom and warehouse uses.
DISCUSSION: This is an unusual case in that the request is not for altering an existing
building, but for allowing a wooden structure to be moved to this site in
conjunction with the business conducted here. To summarize, AMCAT is
a business that trains property appraisers to better determine the value of
insurance related structural damage claims by enhancing their knowledge
of period construction techniques. They wish to accomplish this by taking
an existing wooden structure (currently located at 200 Southwestern
Boulevard) and move it to the Crestside headquarters site. They have
been using this wooden building at its present site for some time and have
modified the interior for training purposes. For example, they have
removed sections of wall panels so adjusters can see first-hand how
buildings were constructed in the 40’s and 50’s. These exposed sections
in the walls, ceilings and floors show construction techniques related to
plumbing, framing, electrical methods, etc. that are no longer being
utilized. This training building has been extremely valuable as AMCAT
educates adjusters to deal with building damage and destruction caused by
hurricanes in the south, flooding in the east and Midwest, wind damage
across the country and other property destroying events. The vast majority
of damage has occurred to buildings, which were constructed around the
same time as the Southwestern Boulevard building. The applicant has
stated that by taking an existing period building, appraisers have a much
shorter learning curve, better knowledge of how buildings they will be
dealing with were actually constructed and develop a deeper
understanding of replacement/repair costs.
As a general rule, staff would not support taking a wooden structure,
moving it to another site and reconstructing it. In this case, however,
because this building will be a training laboratory (read: no one actually
lives there), the applicant agrees to comply with all building codes relative
to foundation requirements, fire codes, etc., and as a necessary adjunct to
the main business building, it merits consideration. In addition, it will be
screened from the street, has considerable front, side and rear setbacks,
and is basically screened by adjacent industrial buildings. We see no
adverse reaction to its placement as proposed.

FROM: Russel K. Jackson
Director Amcat National Training Center
SUBJECT: FACILITY RELOCATION
1. PROPOSAL: Move the main building currently located at 200 Southwestern Blvd., Coppell TX to
1230 Crestside, Coppell, TX
a. Foundation: Amcat will have a building contractor design and build an appropriate foundation
at 1230 Crestside.
b. Utilities: It is Amcat’s intention to hook-up utilities including water, sewer and electrical to the
laboratory after relocation.
c. Parking: Current parking facilities at 1230 Crestside accommodate our needs. If needed,
additional parking is available on the south side of the building near the loading docks. Re-
striping of this area will accommodate additional parking. See Enclosure 3.
d. Fire: Current fire lanes in the south parking lot and the paved lane on the north side of the
building comply with City requirements.
e. Approval: Upon approval of this proposal, Amcat will initiate the relocation process.
2. ABOUT AMCAT:
a. Established in 1997 Amcat’s mission is to provide consistent, high quality, nationwide insurance
claims adjusting services.
b. Established in 2006 the mission of the Amcat National Training Center (ANTC) is to provide a
state of the art training facility offering adjusters unique opportunities to enhance their
knowledge and professionalism.
3. BACKGROUND:
a. Recognizing the need for training facilities, Amcat entered into an agreement with the Coppell
Independent School District to modify the main building at 200 Southwestern Blvd. This
allowed Amcat to create a laboratory that is representative of the construction encountered by
adjusters. See Enclosure 1.
b. In December 2006, Amcat was notified that passage of the school bond allowed CISD to proceed
with new construction plans at 200 Southwestern Blvd. Upon approval of this proposal, Amcat
intends to purchase the building at public auction. See Enclosure 2. As a lab, 200 Southwestern
has become an extension of our business. Relocation will continue to enhance our growth. Due
to modifications, the lab cannot be used for living or office space.
c. Approximately 600 adjusters trained at the ANTC in 2006. In 2007, our projection is for 1000
adjusters to train here. Our growth will enhance other businesses in Coppell.
4. APPEARANCE:
a. Relocation area; north side of 1230 Crestside, Coppell TX.
b. Adjuster Lab in current location at 200 Southwestern Blvd Coppell, TX.
c. Lab and climbing roof after relocation to Crestside Drive. Upon relocation, the building will
be approximately forty feet from the east build line and thirty feet north of the main building. A
gravel parking area added as shown in the photo, if necessary. See Enclosure 4.
d. Landscaping utilized to enhance appearances from the NW corner of 1230 Crestside to the fire
lane reducing the street view of the facility.
5. THE TRAINING LAB & FACILITY
The following photos are modifications to the adjuster’s lab. Plans include demonstrating fire, flood

building.
STATIC DISPLAY: The ceiling and interior wall have been opened to show how electrical
lines and insulation are distributed throughout the building. Similar openings in all rooms
demonstrate different aspects of building construction.
ROOF CLIMBING AREA: Prior to certification students must understand different building
material and roof construction. This exterior display includes different roof types and allows
students practical experience accessing and walking on the surfaces. The 20’ X 24’ model will
be located on the south side of the adjuster lab at Crestside.

REQUEST: Site Plan Amendment to allow the construction of an outside

within the loading dock area on the west side of a building located
at 621 Royal Lane.

HISTORY: There has been no recent development history on the subject
property.
ITEM #18 Page 2 of 3
TRANSPORTATION: Royal Lane is a C4D/6, four-lane divided thoroughfare in a six-
lane divided 110-foot right-of-way, built to standard.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North – warehousing; LI (Light Industrial)
South – warehousing; LI (Light Industrial)
East – warehousing; LI (Light Industrial)
West – warehousing; PD-191-LI (Planned Development-191-Light
Industrial)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Coppell Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable
for office, showroom and warehouse use.
DISCUSSION: This is a case where an existing tenant needs to make improvements to
increase business. Basically, Superior Air Parts produces aircraft engines.
The engines require a test run before they can be accepted and shipped to
the ultimate user. To accommodate the user, the necessary test runs
generate considerable noise which, in the past, have been performed
totally inside a building. The engines will still remain within the building,
but cooling towers, fans for cooling the engines, and fuel tanks (the test
cells) need to be added to the back of the existing warehouse to service the
test runs. This additional equipment will generate noise. The applicant
proposes to build a 14’ 3”-high wall to screen this added equipment. The
wall is proposed to be 42-feet long and initially 25’ 9” deep. The most
recent revised plans show a wall 17’ deep. We feel the longer wall is
more appropriate here as noise generated from the activity would be better
controlled. In addition, the original proposal indicated a space of 12’
between the end of the screening wall and the face of the building. The
most recent submittal shows openings of 20’. Again, we feel a longer wall
would more effectively control the noise being generated. At any rate,
noise is a concern, and it is our understanding that the applicant will
address the noise issue at the public meeting. We have included a
condition regarding the noise issue in our staff recommendation. The wall
will match the existing warehouse building and cannot be seen from the
public right-of-way. Nothing else on site will be changed including
parking, lighting, landscaping, color, etc. What will be added are two fuel
tanks--one with a capacity of 500 gallons and one of 1000 gallons, three
cooling towers and two air blowers.
As stated above, of primary concern to staff is the additional noise that would be emitted from
the proposed equipment. The applicant has assured us that any noise generated will be within
the City’s noise guidelines and has stated in his letter of February 14 that a sound insulation
contractor will supply us with details on handling sound emission. We did not receive that
information prior to the docket going out, but the applicant has advised us that appropriate
information will be submitted at the Planning Commission meeting.
ITEM #18 Page 3 of 3
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of this request, subject to the following conditions:
1) Revise the Plan to reflect the wall dimensions of the initial submittal.
2) Provide noise data, which substantiates this activity will meet noise
guidelines.
3) Eliminate Sheet 3, Revision 4.
4) Dimension area between screening wall and cooling towers/fuel tanks.

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.

Noise levels from the test cell are low. The ventilation fans will produce some noise but these levels are also low. The previous agreement with neighbors were when operating a propeller test stand without complete engine enclosure. The planned test cells are far below the level of this previous test arrangement. Exhaust from the engines is essentially odorless, the odor is approximately the same level and character as that of the exhaust from the cars in the parking lot.

HISTORY: Council approved a zoning change on a 73-acre portion of the
Lesley tract from A (Agriculture) to HC (Highway Commercial)
ITEM #16 Page 1 of 4
and a change from A (Agriculture) to LI (Light Industrial) zoning
on the remaining 112-acre parcel on December 12, 2006.
TRANSPORTATION: Currently, this parcel is land-locked. However, a subdivision plat
has been approved to construct two roads through this tract.
Dividend Drive will be a four-lane divided thoroughfare contained
within a 90-foot right-of-way and will be located immediately
south of this parcel. The second road, Point West Boulevard, is a
local street within a 50-foot right-of-way and extends south from
an intersection with Dividend.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North – Middle School West, warehousing; LI (Light Industrial)
South – vacant, being graded; PD-HC (Planned Development
Highway Commercial)
East – warehouse; LI (Light Industrial)
West – office, developing commercial; City of Irving
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Coppell Comprehensive Master Plan shows the property as
suitable for freeway office and commercial uses.
DISCUSSION: This is a proposal to construct a 755,400-square-foot warehouse on 36
acres of property. A portion of the building will be devoted to office use
(37,770-square-feet). Planned Development zoning is being requested
because the applicant wishes to modify the normally required one parking
space for every 1,000-square-feet of warehouse to one space per each
5,000-square-feet of warehouse space. In addition, office use is figured at
one parking space for every 300-square-feet of space. At those ratios--144
spaces for the warehouse, 126 for the office—a total of 270 spaces would
be required. The applicant is providing 333, a difference of 63 parking
spaces. In the past, this applicant has asked for, and been granted, similar
reductions in a PD. If Duke can justifiy the current request, staff has no
objection.
We do, however, have concern with the type, quantity, and technique to be
used to screen the truck courts from Dividend Drive and the commercial
and retail uses planned to the south. It is very important that adequate
screening be provided with this proposal to ensure no adverse result would
damage the intended users to the south. That can be best assured by
extensive landscaping, screening, berms, vegetation on top of the berms
and assurance that the majority of plant material will be green year-round.
We have specifically addressed this screening concern in a condition of
approval and suggest a combination of eight-foot Red Cedars, coupled
with 20-gallon Nellie R. Stevens, in addition to the six-foot berm and
groundcover/grass. Mixing two screening plants will give variety to the
ITEM #16 Page 2 of 4
top of the berm and eventually provide a solid year-round screen of the
truck courts. The Landscape Plan provided shows a number of deciduous
trees that loose their leaves in the winter. By substituting the plant
materials suggested above, a more permanent screen will result. It also
appears that the landscaping provided is short of required area. A “quick
and dirty” analysis shows a deficit of about 30,000-square-feet—4,000 in
perimeter and 26,000 in non-vehicular open space. There are other minor
changes needed to the plan including spelling, plant count and proposed
materials. Because the plan calculations are difficult to read, that
condition for approval may fall out by hearing time.
Building elevations are adequate and typical of the type and style Duke
has constructed in Coppell in the past. The building will have a maximum
height of 45 feet which is a bit taller than most of our current warehouse
buildings. The color board shows the tilt wall to be painted in grays and
off-whites, again similar to what has been built by the applicant in the
past. There are several reveals in the surface of the walls but it is unclear
if the 100-foot “breaks” (articulation) in the west elevation—which we
consider the front of the building—are there. Again, this is a condition
that may be rectified prior to the public hearing.
We also recommend an amendment to the Comprehensive Master Plan by
changing the proposed land use north of Dividend Drive from freeway
office to industrial use. Because this parcel does not have direct freeway
access/exposure, amending the Plan to reflect the majority of use to the
north and east of this building as industrial/warehouse/storage use is
warranted.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of this request with the following conditions:
1. Modify the Comprehensive Master Plan north of the proposed
Dividend Drive from freeway office to industrial use.
2. Eliminate Note #3 of Zoning Exhibit (or specify which buildings are
not dimensionally set).
3. Landscape Plan needs to show a 10-foot landscape area on east side of
building.
4. Modify Landscape Plan plant materials, quantities, and clearly show
landscape requirements calculations.
5. Clarify and clearly define building frontage questions regarding
articulation.
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.

HISTORY: Council approved a zoning change from A (Agriculture) to HC
(Highway Commercial) and LI (Light Industrial) on the entire 184
acre parcel in December of 2006. A final plat was also approved
on a portion of the 184 parcel at that time for construction of two
roads, Park West Boulevard and the extension of Dividend Drive.
Dividend Drive gives this property direct access to a public street.
ITEM #17 Page 1 of 2
TRANSPORTATION: Currently this parcel is land-locked. However, a subdivision
plat has been approved to construct two roads through this large
tract of land, and one of them (Dividend Drive) will give access
to the plat being considered here. Dividend Drive will be a
four-lane divided thoroughfare contained within a 90-foot right-
of-way. The second road, Point West Boulevard, is a local
street constructed within a 50-foot right-of-way and extends
south from its intersection with Dividend, approximately 700-
800 feet west of Beltline Road.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North – Middle School West, warehousing; LI (Light Industrial)
South – vacant, being graded; PD-HC (Planned Development-Highway
Commercial)
East – warehouse; LI (Light Industrial)
West – office, developing commercial; City of Irving
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Coppell Comprehensive Master Plan shows the property as
suitable for freeway office and commercial uses.
DISCUSSION: This is a request to create a legal building site for the 755,400-square-foot
office warehouse discussed earlier. There is only one minor correction
needed to the plat, and once the conditions for approval of the zoning case
have been addressed, this plat can be supported.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of this Final Plat, subject to the
following conditions being met:
1) Change zoning on Tract 1 (south of Dividend Drive) from HC
to PD-221-HC.
2) In parenthesis add (Detailed) to PD-222-LI on Lot 2 of Block
A; and (Conceptual) to PD-222-LI on Part of Tract 1 to the
north.
ALTERNATIVES:
1) Recommend approval of the request
2) Recommend disapproval of the request
