ORDINANCE
Consider approval of an ordinance of the City of Coppell, Texas, amending the Code of Ordinances by amending
Article 15-9, Coppell Thoroughfare Plan, by deleting the proposed C4D extension of Parkway Boulevard between
Coppell Road and SH121, the proposed C2U extension north of proposed Freeport Parkway and parallel to SH 121,
and the extension of Royal Lane from Sandy Lake Road to SH 121, as depicted on Exhibit "A" which is attached hereto
and incorporated herein; providing a repealing clause; providing a severability clause; providing a savings clause;
providing an effective date; and authorizing the Mayor to sign.
Approval of this ordinance revision will bring the City of Coppell Thoroughfare Plan into conformance with the current
plans for State Highway 121.
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance revising the
Thoroughfare Plan.
#Thoroughfare Plan Revision
MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E., Director of Engineering and Public Works
DATE: June 10, 2008
REF: Consider approval of an ordinance to revise the Thoroughfare
Plan by deleting the proposed C4D extension of Parkway
Boulevard between Coppell Road and SH 121, the proposed C2U
extension north of proposed Freeport Parkway and parallel to
SH 121, and the extension of Royal Lane from Sandy Lake Road
to SH 121; and authorizing the Mayor to sign.
For several months a developer has been looking to purchase a tract of land north
of Sandy Lake Road and west of Coppell Road commonly referred to as the
“Callejo Tract.” The actual purchase of the land by the developer has been
delayed somewhat due to the intricate, and oftentimes confusing, financing of the
extension of Freeport Parkway from Sandy Lake Road to State Highway 121.
It is the City’s and the developers’ understanding that the financing has now been
resolved and the developer was set to close on the property by the end of May.
Part of the discussion with the developer concerning this tract was whether or not
they would need to extend Parkway Boulevard from Coppell Road to State
Highway 121, and also construct the connecting parallel roadway from the
Freeport Parkway extension north to the proposed Parkway Boulevard extension.
The extension of Parkway Boulevard to intersect SH 121 on our current
Thoroughfare Plan appears to be confusing given the fact that there will be a
diamond interchange at Freeport Parkway and SH 121. However, when I was
hired in 1991, the plans at that time for the future widening of SH 121 showed
Freeport Parkway and Parkway Boulevard intersecting SH 121 with “jug handle”
intersections. The plans also showed that there would be no exit ramp to Parkway
Blvd. for southbound traffic. The exit was only at Freeport Pkwy. When heading
north on SH 121, there was no exit at Freeport or Parkway, only at Sandy Lake
Road. With the old design for SH 121, there was a need for the parallel C2U
connector between Freeport and Parkway Blvd.
Now that the design of SH 121 has been revised and is currently under
construction with a diamond interchange at Freeport Parkway, there is no longer a
need for the extension of Parkway Boulevard or the parallel C2U roadway
between Freeport Parkway and the proposed Parkway Boulevard extension.
At one time there was talk of extending Parkway Blvd. west to create a tee
intersection with Freeport Parkway. Because of the proposed use of this property
and the residential use along Parkway east of Coppell Road, it was determined
that it would be best not to mix uses by continuing Parkway Blvd.
The other proposed change to the Thoroughfare Plan is the elimination of Royal
Lane from Sandy Lake Road to SH 121. Royal Lane was shown on the original
plan to intersect SH 121 so that if you exited on Sandy Lake Road, you would not
have to turn on Sandy Lake to get to Royal, but you could proceed on the frontage
road to access the Royal Lane intersection. The current design for SH 121, with
the diamond interchange at Sandy Lake and Freeport, shows entrance ramps from
the northbound frontage road to SH 121 at the location where Royal Lane would
have intersected it under the previous design. Because Royal Lane cannot
intersect the frontage road at that location, there is a need to remove it from the
Thoroughfare Plan.
This explanation of these changes to the Thoroughfare Plan may sound confusing,
but bottom line, the original plan contemplated an entirely different design for SH
121. Items were placed on the official City of Coppell Thoroughfare Plan to
accommodate that design. With the new design of SH 121, there is no longer a
need for these three roads that we are requesting to have removed from the plan.
Staff recommends approval of the changes to the official Thoroughfare Plan and
will be available to answer any questions at the council meeting.

HISTORY: In October 1997, City Council approved the site plan
and preliminary plat for Eleanor’s Square, a 24,620
square-foot retail center, which was final platted in May
of the next year. In October 1998, City Council
ITEM # 4
Page 2 of 4
approved an SUP for 7 Salsa’s a 3,000 square-foot
restaurant, which was expanded by 1,400 square feet in
2002. The approval of this expansion was subject to
Board of Adjustment granting a Special Exception
allowing a three (3) parking space variance. The
granting of this Special Exception was partially based on
the restaurant’s usage of the underutilized parking in the
rear of the building.
In December of 1998, a site plan amendment was
approved for this retail center which allowed a
monument to be located at the corner of Denton Tap
Road and Town Center Drive. In February of 1999, this lot
was replatted to move a water easement to allow for
the construction of the monument sign. In May of 1999,
City Council approved an amendment to the site plan
to allow Blockbuster to have an eighteen square-foot,
yellow and blue attached sign at the corner of the
building. Special Use Permits have also been granted for
Subway and Smoothie Factory in this retail center.
TRANSPORTATION: Denton Tap Road is a P6D, six-lane, divided thoroughfare
built to standard. Town Center Boulevard, on the east
side of the building, is built to standard.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - Retail Center; TC (Town Center)
South - Comerica Bank; TC (Town Center)
East - City of Coppell Justice Center; TC (Town Center)
West - Market at Town Center and Sonic Restaurant; PD-
178 and C (Commercial)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Coppell Comprehensive Plan, as amended,
recommends neighborhood retail use on this parcel.
DISCUSSION: This is the third location that DeVine Cellars is
attempting to lease in Coppell. As previously
explained, this is proposed to be a full service wine
shop, tasting room, and tapas bar offering both on and
off-premise consumption of a wide variety of wine and
beers. They will also offer premium cigars and
accessories; glassware, packaged cheese and
ITEM # 4
Page 3 of 4
chocolate; wine and cheese baskets; and wine-related
services, such as custom cellars and cellar stocking and
management.
The floor plan indicates a 1,005-square-foot retail
wine/beer shop with its entrance from Denton Tap Road
and a 1,095-square-foot restaurant/bar (tasting
room/tapas bar) with entrances from Denton Tap Road
and on the Town Center Boulevard side. Separate
entrances were included due to the TABC permitting
requirements for the two uses (on-premise and off-
premise consumption).
Parking required for the retail portion of this use is one
parking space per 200 square feet of floor area (five
spaces required) and for the restaurant use, one
parking space per 100 square feet (11 spaces
required). The attached parking analysis reflects that
there would be a deficit of eight (8) parking spaces in
this retail center (161 parking spaces required, 153
provided). A similar issue arose when 7 Salsas restaurant
expanded in 2002. The Board of Adjustment granted a
Special Exception allowing a three (3) parking space
reduction. The exception was partially based on the
inclusion of a rear door, where there was a significant
amount of underutilized parking spaces. A similar
approach is proposed for this use. The applicant has
revised their floor plan to include a rear entry door,
which will be appropriately signed. The applicant will
conduct a parking usage study to determine that a
sufficient number of parking spaces exist during her
peak hours (primarily evening) to accommodate the
proposed restaurant and retail uses. Although this
evidence will be required to be presented to the Board
of Adjustment, results of this study should also be
presented as part of the testimony for this SUP request.
The DeVine Cellars sign is designed to be in
accordance with the sign regulations and will adhere
to the standards of the shopping center. It will consist of
white channel letters to match the same shade as
those in the center and will be no more than 30 square
feet.
ITEM # 4
Page 4 of 4
DeVine Cellars will also apply for and obtain all of the
necessary permits and licenses required by the TABC
and City of Coppell for the legal sale of both on and

DeVine Cellars-Eleanor’s Square Parking Analysis
The table below depicts an analysis of the parking situation at Eleanor’s Square. As you can see,
there is deficit. To accommodate for this shortfall, DeVine Cellars has added access to the rear
parking lot. Also, if you take into consideration the majority of the center’s tenants are not open
for business past 6 pm, which is when the restaurant portion will be the busiest; this deficit should
not create a major issue at the center.

Consider approval of Case No. PD-221R5-HC, Duke Lesley Addition, zoning change request from PD-221-R3-HC
(Planned Development-221 Revision 3-Highway Commercial) to PD-221R5-HC (Planned Development-221 Revision 5-
Highway Commercial) to attach a detail site plan to allow a 5,000-square-foot convenience store with ten gas pumps
located along the west side of S. Belt Line Road, approximately 636 feet north of IH 635.
See attached letter from William Dahlstrom dated May 23, 2008, appealing the Planning Commission's decision to
Council.
A 3/4 VOTE OF COUNCIL (6 OUT OF 7) IS NECESSARY TO OVERTURN THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S DENIAL OF THIS
ZONING CHANGE.
On May 15, 2008, the Planning Commission unanimously denied this
zoning change (6-0) due to the land use not being compatible with
those envisioned for this location. Commissioners Frnka, Shute, Haas,
Fox, Sangerhausen, and Shipley voted to deny, none opposed.
Staff recommends DENIAL.

HISTORY: In February 2007, this property was a part of a larger rezoning from a
Highway Commercial District to a Planned Development for Highway
Commercial uses to allow tilt-wall construction and additional
attached signage on office buildings that are 50,000-square-feet or
larger and to allow the development of mixed uses, including retail,
office and hotel on a total of 78.5 acres of property.
ITEM # 6 Page 2 of 8
In July 2007, a rezoning was approved to revise the Planned
Development to attach a Concept Plan for retail and restaurant uses
on 17.4 acres of property.
TRANSPORTATION: Beltline Road is a P6D, major thoroughfare built to standard in a
l20-foot right-of-way.

West – vacant; PD-221R3-HC (Planned Development-221-Revision 3-
Highway Commercial)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Coppell Comprehensive Master Plan shows the property
as suitable for freeway commercial uses.
DISCUSSION: This is the first detail planned development proposal to be platted out of the
larger 17.4 acre tract of land conceptually approved for retail and restaurant
uses. The proposed 5,000-square-foot convenience store with an 8,260-
square-foot gas canopy on 1.67 acres is proposed to be located on the west
side of South Belt Line Road between Dividend and IH 635. There are two
access points to South Belt Line Road, both being shared drives on the
proposed north and south property lines. There is also a shared drive shown
on the proposed west property line. The proposed hours of operation are 24
hours a day, seven days a week.
In the establishment of the larger conceptual planned development for this
area, only circulation patterns, signage and architectural compatibility were
approved. Every other detail, including land use, site layout, parking,
landscaping, building materials and color, were left to specifically adhere to
the requirements of the base zoning of the HC (Highway Commercial) District.
According to the Zoning Ordinance,
The “HC” highway commercial district is intended primarily as a high
intensity area permitting a mixed-use for office, commercial-retail, and
highway oriented uses, such as hotels, restaurants, and low and mid-rise
offices, and should be located generally along high-volume
thoroughfares. The site characteristics for each area should be designed
in a manner to create an attractive appearance from I.H. 635 and S.H.
121, and an impressive gateway into the community. Because these
areas are designated as major thoroughfare entry points, emphasis has
ITEM # 6 Page 3 of 8
been placed on building arrangement, setbacks, parking, and landscape
treatment, which are intended to be elements influencing the character
of entrance into the city. It is the intention of the “highway commercial”
zoning district to create an attractive and unique entrance into the city.
This planned development request was initially reviewed based on the
‘impressive gateway” premise of the HC District, and staff does not feel that
this large scale gas station fits in with this vision. The applicant has met several
times with the city staff to discuss the issues at hand. They have postponed
bringing the case forward to the Planning and Zoning Commission twice in
order for them to work through the extensive list of Planning related
comments. The most significant of the comments were related to reorienting
the proposed convenience store, reducing the size of the gas canopy and
reorienting the canopy to not front on Belt Line Road (the side of the canopy
would front Belt Line). The applicant has offered little change to their initial
proposal, and has actually increased the amount of striping on the canopy,
going in the opposite direction of staff’s request to remove it.
Staff has reviewed the plans several times, each subsequent time on a
technical basis as if the land use and unsightliness weren’t issues, to clear up
the majority of the comments and revisions needed. These are included
within a list of “unresolved items” under staff’s recommendation.
Site Plan:
The site plan shows the 5,000-square-foot convenience store dwarfed with an
8,260-square-foot gas canopy in front of it. The circulation on site is impressive,
although little unpaved area remains to fulfill the landscaping area
requirements. There are multiple unsightly bollards separating the walkway in
front of the building from the parking. Typically, a six-foot sidewalk is used to
give the storefront a slightly raised (six-inch curb height) entry and to separate
the vehicular use from the pedestrian access. Staff has recommended on
several occasions that the bollards were cluttering the front of the building
should be removed and a standard sidewalk should be used.
Parking:
Within the HC District, no more than 50% of the required parking can be
located in the front of the building. This requirement is specific to the HC
District in order to create a better appearance from adjacent thoroughfares.
This proposal is not meeting this requirement, as there are a total of 25 parking
spaces required, 42 proposed with 35 of those spaces (140% of the required)
in the front (including the parking adjacent to the gas pumps). It has been
recommended to the applicant that a bermed hedge row be used to screen
the parking lot from Belt Line, but the applicant has advised staff that they
would not do this as it would decrease the visibility of the gas pumps. If the
applicant reconfigures the site as previously recommended by staff
(reorienting the building closer to Belt Line Road with the ten gas pumps either
to the side or the rear), this would create less of a variance to the requirement
ITEM # 6 Page 4 of 8
that calls for no more than 50% of the required parking to be located in the
front of a building.
Landscaping:
The overall landscaping is also a concern. The applicant is not meeting the
minimum requirements of the Zoning Ordinance as it relates to the
landscaping area being provided. The amount of paving on site is extensive
and would be reason enough to require that they meet the landscaping
requirement. Although the calculations show that they are providing sufficient
landscaping in two of the three categories, staff has recalculated the interior
landscaping as shown and comes up substantially short. The nonvehicular
landscaping is the one category that might be correct. The HC District calls
for a landscape treatment to “influence the character of the entrance into
the city.” An expansive amount of pavement with gas pumps and parking is
not the influence on the entry character envisioned. The applicant was
informed on several occasions that the landscaping calculations were in
question and given specific details on how they could spruce up the
landscaping in order to make this site more attractive and address the
inadequacies. This is considered a primary image zone in the Streetscape
Ordinance and this site in particular has been given the unique HC zoning
designation specifically for this reason – “to create an attractive and unique
entrance into the city.” It was suggested to berm the hedge row on Belt Line
Road and to include a landscape island at the end of the gas canopy.
Neither of these changes were made. The absence of the landscape island
at the end of the canopy on the south end, (required perimeter landscaping)
and the shortfall in interior (parking lot area) landscaping are both required to
be conditions of the PD.
Elevations and Signage:
In an attempt to combat the unsightliness of the gas canopy, staff
recommended that a standing seam roof be added and the canopy be
reduced in size to be smaller in scale and secondary to the main structure.
The applicant has offered no solution or compromise to their original proposal.
Staff originally had a comment to remove the proposed signage and striping
from the canopy. The applicant removed the “Race Trac” signage, but
increased the striping signage amount significantly. The striping is considered
as “signage” within the definition given in the Zoning Ordinance. This states, a
sign is anything that is “visible from outside the premises on which it is located
and that is designed, intended or used to inform, to advertise or to attract the
attention of persons not on those premises.” Signage is strictly prohibited on
gas canopies. The HC District specifically addresses permissible façade colors
and states the following:
Exterior wall surfaces should consist of no more than three colors; a base
color, and/or a trim color, and/or an accent color. The base color may be
utilized on up to 100 percent of the surface area of any one facade of a
building. Another color, other than a base color, shall be permitted on up
to only five percent of the surface area of any one facade, and an
accent color on up to only one percent of the surface area of any one
ITEM # 6 Page 5 of 8
facade. For calculation purposes, wall surfaces should include eaves,
gables and parapets, but should exclude roofs, awnings, or signs.
Therefore, either way, if treated as a sign then the red stripes are strictly
prohibited, and if treated as part of the architecture, two red stripes, two blue
stripes and one white stripe are not permitted, as this would exceed the 95%
base color, 4% accent color, and 1% trim color allowances with the HC
District. The applicant will need to provide the exact color percentages for
each elevation. Based on the elevations submitted, the color breakdown is
approximately 59% bright red, 22% brown (earth tone brick), 7% dark blue and
13% bright white on the canopy’s side elevation.
The convenience store building façade is attractive, but has a few items that
still need to be resolved. It appears from the rendering that was given to staff
that there are metal awnings on the front elevation. These are standing seam
and if considered an awning would need to be made of fabric. Staff has
repeatedly requested a cross section of this portion of the elevation to make
the determination, but has never received one. If the applicant intends to
proceed with this type of architectural element, then it is recommended that
it be listed as another PD condition. All future structures to be built on the
remainder of the 17.4 acres will need to be compatible with this one
according to the Conceptual PD Ordinance.
The multicolored (red, white and blue) attached signage on the building does
not meet the signage requirements that call for signs to be white channel
letters. This is listed as another PD condition. The monument sign is a basic
thin wall with an aluminum face to indicate gas prices. This same brick thin
wall monument sign design will need to be carried out on the remainder of
sites along Belt Line, according to the approved Conceptual PD. The location
of the monument sign is proposed to be in the northeast corner. Monument
signs are required to be setback 75 feet from each property line and 15 feet
from the right-of-way; therefore, the noncompliant location of the proposed
monument sign is required to be yet another PD condition.
In the conceptual planned development ordinance, several conditions were
placed on the property. The applicable conditions are listed below with a
comment in bold relating to this detailed PD:
1. Prior to development on any tract within this Planned Development District,
a detailed Site Plan with elevation facades shall be submitted to assure
architectural compatibility and compliance with the HC District.
This is the first development of the 17.4 acres and will set the architectural tone
for the entire development.
2. Traffic and vehicle circulation of the 17.4 acres shall be in accordance with
the following development regulations:
…
(2) Private Street "B" shall:
(a) not have any head-in parking,
(b) have no intersecting driveways within 150 feet from Belt Line Road,
ITEM # 6 Page 6 of 8
The driveway is located approximately 146 feet from Belt Line and would
therefore require a minor exception to this requirement and to be listed as a
new PD Condition.
…
4. Detached signs were permitted as follows:
…
(d) Four single-tenant monument signs along Denton Tap (maximum one
per lot).
(1) Monument signs along Belt Line being limited to 40 square-feet,
unless the lot exceeds the two acre minimum required for a 60-square-
foot sign.
This proposal includes a 40 square foot monument sign.
5. The location of all detached signs being in accordance with the Sign
Ordinance and all monument signs shall be externally illuminated.
This proposal is not in conformance with the location/setback requirements of
the Zoning Ordinance that call for the spacing from internal property lines to be
at least 75’ and 15’ from the right-of-way. The proposed signage is 32 feet from
the north property line and 41 feet from the right-of-way.
6. All detached signs shall be architecturally compatible and consistent through
the District.
This monument sign will set the architectural tone for all monument signs on Belt
Line Road within the 17.4 acres.
7. Landscaping Plans shall be submitted at the time of Detailed Site Plans and
shall comply with Article 34 of the Coppell Zoning Ordinance, with the
exception that the required ten-foot landscape buffer along internal property
lines subject to such otherwise required landscaping to be reallocated in the
interior of such lots within the District.
The perimeter landscaping adjacent to the south drive is not being provided for
within an island at the south end of the gas canopy. This is requested to be an
exception from the previously approved conceptual PD Ordinance.
…
Regarding condition #1 above, Race Trac is setting the architectural tone for
the entire 17.4 acres of the Planned Development. This means that each
future structure will be required to match this gas station design! Although,
the elevations for the convenience store are their new prototype and more
attractive than other existing Race Trac’s in the area, staff does not want this
to set the architectural tone for the entire 17.4 acres. Another Race Trac is
currently being permitted in Irving on the south east side of Belt Line and LBJ
at Regent Blvd, cattycorner to this one. According to those plans, it will be a
similar prototypical design and a similar site configuration to the one
proposed in Coppell. This would definitely contradict the vision of creating a
“unique character” for the entrance into Coppell.
Repeatedly, the applicant has been informed that staff could not support this
particular plan and that we would need a completely different plan with the
structures reoriented- the main structure closer to Belt Line Road with the gas
canopy to the side or rear of the site for a positive recommendation. In the
ITEM # 6 Page 7 of 8
end, staff is unable to support this plan, and recommends that we deny this
application.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending DENIAL of this request due to the land use not being
compatible with those envisioned for this location. The items not addressed
are as follows:
1. Reorient the proposed building to the northeast corner of the site,
position the gas canopy south of the structure and perpendicular to S
Belt Line Rd. and ensure all mechanical equipment is screened.
2. Recommend construction of a curb in front of parking spaces and
elimination of bollards unless otherwise prohibited by the Texas
Accessibility Standards.
3. Consider reducing canopy length to keep it more in scale with the
proposed building and consider adding a standing seam roof to it.
4. Remove striping from the canopy as this is not permitted. Include a PD
condition if requesting an exception to the ordinance.
5. Consider berming landscape area along Belt Line and placing
proposed hedge row on top.
6. Include a landscape island at the south end of canopy and include
architectural element (i.e. boulder or stone monument) to prevent trucks
from driving on it.
7. Submit correct calculations for landscaping areas and ensure this is
prepared by a Landscape Architect (stamp and seal required). Include
a PD condition for the insufficient interior landscaping area shown.
8. Include north driveway spacing (146’) as a PD Condition. This is a minor
deviation from the 150’ requirement established in the conceptual PD.
9. Include percentage of each color on each elevation.
10. Include metal awnings as a PD condition.
11. Ensure the lighting plan meets the glare and lighting standards of the
Zoning Ordinance.
Drafting items not addressed:
12. Resolve discrepancies between the scale used on the Canopy Elevation
Sheet and the dimensions shown and include the height dimension to
the top of the canopy.
13. Include all proposed fire hydrants on the Site Plan.
14. Include #5 & #6 from general notes as PD Conditions, as these were
already conditions established in the conceptual PD.
15. On the miscellaneous detail sheet, list the color for the bumper posts,
include brick color and height of the proposed screening wall and
include color of decorative lighting poles and colors of monument sign
face. Add a note that states no advertizing will be displayed on any of
these items or anywhere outside the convenience store.
16. Include the Architect’s contact information within the title block of the
Canopy Elevations, and include Lot 4, Block C, Duke Lesley Addition in
all title blocks on all sheets.

PUBLIC HEARING
Consider approval of an application by Chesapeake Energy to allow drilling and production from seven additional
horizontal wells on property located north of Bethel Road, west of the proposed extension of Creekview Drive, on the
Fellowship Church Property.
On April 28, 2008 staff received an application to drill and operate seven (7) additional gas wells north of Bethel
Road, west of the proposed extension of Creekview Drive on the Fellowship Church property. Per Section 9-26-7 of
the Oil and Gas Drilling Ordinance, if the well is within 800 feet of any occupied building (not used in operation of the
drilling site) a public hearing is required.
Staff recommends APPROVAL of this request, subject to the conditions
outlined in the attached memo.

DATE: June 10, 2008
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Marcie Diamond, Assistant Director of Planning
RE: Application by Chesapeake Energy to drill and operate up to
seven (7) additional gas wells on the previously approved site
located north of Bethel Road, west of the proposed extension of
Creekview Drive.
History
¾ On January 9, 2007, Council approved Ordinance No. 2007-1150
providing regulations relating to Oil and Gas Production in the City of
Coppell.
¾ On August 14, 2007, Council authorized Larry O. Hulsey & Co. to act in the
city’s behalf as the Oil or Gas Inspector/Technical Advisor.
¾ On March 10, 2008, Council approved an application by Chesapeake
Energy to drill and operate one gas well on the Fellowship Church
property located north of Bethel Road, west of the proposed extension of
Creekview Drive.
o A Tree Removal Permit was issued on April 8, 2008 with the payment
of $149,900 to the City of Coppell Reforestation and Natural Areas
fund.
Current Application
On April 28, 2008 staff received an application by Chesapeake Energy to drill
up to seven (7) additional gas wells on the previously approved 2.152 acre
tract of land located north of Bethel Road, west of the proposed extension of
Creekview Drive. The mineral lease area has been increased from the
previous application (142 acres) and now encompasses 279.6 acres which
includes other mineral right owners in addition to the Fellowship Church.
This submission package only includes items that were revised from the
previous submittal, i.e. production equipment elevations/detail site plan for
Phase 2 and the Final Phase, notification map, letters, signs and newspaper
notice and Railroad Commission permits (for five wells). Other items such as
the Road Repair Agreement, Tree Mitigation and Landscape Plans, Water
Sources, Emergency Access Routes, Hazardous Material Handling Plans, etc.
were established with the initial application and will be attached to and
made a part of future permits for this site.
Page 2 of 3
Public Hearing
By Ordinance, if the well is within 800 feet of any occupied building (not used
in operation of the drilling site) a public hearing is required. The notification of
this hearing has been provided through: a sign placed on the property,
notices in the Advocate two consecutive Fridays, and written notices sent to
all property owners within 800 feet of the proposed wells (611 Royal Lane and
the two buildings under construction in the Bethel Road Business Park).
Review Comments
On May 23, 2008 staff received a letter from Larry O. Hulsey (attached),
stating compliance with state and city requirements, allowing the proposed
gas wells. In addition to Mr. Hulsey’s review of the technical aspects of the
application, various city departments also reviewed the application to insure
compliance with other ordinances of the city of Coppell.
Outstanding Issues:
As presented with the initial approval, the actual site preparation, fracing
and drilling are the most noxious part of the process, but relatively short lived.
However, this request will increase the activity on the site for an undermined
amount of time. Chesapeake stated that based on their most current drilling
schedule, they intend to drill the first well (previously approved) around
November 5th, and the next well to be drilled immediately following. They also
stated that “drilling usually takes anywhere from 18-25 days per well,
depending on how smoothly the drilling phase goes. The fracturing phase is
usually done approximately three weeks after drilling, depending on the
availability of the fracturing company and the ability to get water to the site.
They will probably fracture both of these wells at the same time, which should
take approximately 3-5 days, depending on how much daylight we are
getting at that time of year”. Chesapeake qualified their response by stating
“everything is subject to change based on our geology and drilling
departments”
Initially, staff recommended that the landscaping and screening around the
pad site would be provided once the well was in the production phase.
However, given this extended time frame for activity on this site, staff is
recommending that the required screening and landscaping be in place no
later than the initiation of the drilling activities on this site.
The extended time frame may also impact the transportation routes to and
from the well site. The original application indicated the transportation route
to be from 1-635 to Royal Lane, and then along existing Creekview Drive. This
circuitous route was designed to avoid Bethel Road while it was under
construction. Now given the potential extended time period, once Bethel
Road and Creekview are both improved, a more direct route may be
preferable. Therefore, as a condition of approval, staff is recommending that
the transportation route be reevaluated prior to the issuance of permits for
any new well.
Page 3 of 3
Future Council Consideration/Public Hearings
As indicated on the attached submittal, Chesapeake has received approval
from the Railroad Commission to drill five (5) additional wells (Fellowship H1-
H5). In response to the city’s request, Chesapeake has provided an ultimate
build-out scenario, or maximum number of wells that would reasonably be
drilled on this site. It is staff’s understanding that Council desires to only have
one public hearing to consider all the wells on this site. Therefore, staff is
recommending the five (5) well sites permitted by the Railroad Commission as
well as two additional wells be approved at the June 10th public hearing. It
must be noted that prior to any activity on the site for additional wells:
1. Railroad Commission approval is required for each well;
2. The City of Coppell permit is required, which includes a fee payment
of $8,250.00 to cover staff’s administrative time and the consultant’s
review of the application and inspections during the site preparation,
fracing and drilling operations;
3. The transportation route being reevaluated.
4. A 72-hour notice will be provided to the Director of Engineering/Public
Works, Fire Marshal and Gas Well Inspector, prior to the start of any of
the following operations:
a) Initial construction of pad site and access roadway.
b) Start of drilling operations
c) Perforation of casing
d) Facturing of the well
e) Setting the well head valves and equipment.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of seven additional well sites, within this 2.152
acre pad site subject to:
1. The eight (8) foot black vinyl coated chain link fence with required
trees be in place prior to the commencement of drilling activities on
this site.
2. Issuance of separate permits by the city of Coppell prior to the drilling
activities of additional wells on this site.
3. The transportation route be reevaluated prior to the issuance of
permits for any new well.

PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
Date: June 10, 2008
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Brad Reid, Director of Parks and Recreation
Re: Consider approval of a Bid from Sports Field Solutions, in the amount of
$391,741.20, for infield surface development of Wagon Wheel baseball
fields #1, #2, #3 and #4, and surface development of Wagon Wheel soccer
fields #1 and #2, and authorizing the City Manager to sign.
Background:
Bids were opened on May 20, 2008 for the surface development of four baseball infields
and two soccer fields at Wagon Wheel Park. Bids were received from three contractors.
in the amounts of $440,785.20 (W.O. Adams Construction), $438,062.00 (C.
Greenscaping, LP), and $391,741.20 (Sports Field Solutions). The primary purposes that
this project has been identified as necessary are for the safety of the participants, and to
alleviate many of the drainage issues that have plagued the facility for the past few years.
The six athletic fields in this proposal were established in 2000 and 2001. The site
conditions including sub soils and field conditioners that were used were not of the
highest quality and as a result the fields have settled creating dips, waves and humps.
Over the past two years the Parks and Recreation Department has worked closely with
the Coppell Baseball Association and the Coppell Soccer Association to address the
safety concerns associated with unlevel fields. Mechanical leveling methods such as deep
tine aerification, top dressing and rolling have been incorporated to alleviate some of the
uneven playing surfaces over the past few years. In addition, heavy rains have resulted in
ponding in the low areas causing game delays and additional safety concerns.
Included in the Scope of Work on the baseball infields is the removal of existing soils,
adding quality soil, laser grading, installation of Sportsedge channel drains and
incorporating the highest standard of surface mix for quality infields equal to or
exceeding the fields that CBA participants encounters in other communities.
The two CYSA soccer fields will similarly have the existing soils removed, new high
quality soils installed with laser grading and sports turf sprigs to create a safe and level
playing surface.
The Coppell Park and Recreation Board/Coppell Recreation Development Corporation
approved the award of this bid to Sports Field Solutions on Monday, June 2, 2008. This
project qualifies for funding by the CRDC ½ cent sales tax, as additions to and
supporting one of the four projects identified in the 4b Sales Tax referendum. This
project was identified in the Coppell Recreation Development Corporation, Development
Priority List in 2007, which was ultimately approved by the City Council last year.
City Council Action requested:
Approval of a Bid from Sports Field Solutions in the amount of $391,741.20, for the
athletic field surface development of six youth sports fields at Wagon Wheel Park, and
authorizing the City Manager to sign.
