Redflex is the company that maintains the cameras and is our service provider and our agreement with them is set to expire in August 2010. The purpose of the presentation is to provide the Council with background information on the program, summarization on the activity level of citations, revenue sources, and expenditures. In addition we would like to review the challenges the State Legislature has proposed over the last several years. While the current contract is set to expire there are a few options the City can consider: 1. is to allow the contract to expire; 2. extend the contract for one additional year (the agreement allows for three 1-year extensions); 3. execute a new agreement with Redflex for five additional years. M E M O R A N D U M Date: July 7, 2010 TO: Mayor & City Council FROM: Clay Phillips, City Manager SUBJECT: Emergency Communications Center Radios & CAD System Our Police & Fire Department staffs have been working on a number of issues related to the overall operation of the Communications Center, or dispatch. Included in the tasks currently underway are two major projects that have been anticipated for some time. The projects are the replacement of the radio system to comply with new federal requirements regarding frequencies and interoperability and the replacement of the Computer Aided Dispatch System (CAD) including the records management component of the CAD system. Computer Aided Dispatch The CAD system replacement has been requested in the upcoming budget due to a number of reasons. The primary reason is related to the fact that continued maintenance on the existing system will no longer be available. The vendor that provided the system and the system maintenance was bought by a competitor who will no longer provide software maintenance on the system. The system is approaching ten years of continued use, a fairly long time for software of this nature, particularly when updates are not available. We cannot continue to operate with a Computer Aided Dispatch and Police/Fire Records Management System that has no software maintenance or system upgrades available. Additionally, the features available with a new system will enhance the operations and service delivery of our Emergency Communications Division and the responding Police and Fire units. Staff recently completed a vendor review process to determine the system that would best suit our needs today and for several years to come. Anticipated costs to replace the CAD system are expected to be in the $850,000 range and funding is available for this project via the E911 Fund, the Police Seizure Fund, and funding in the current year budget thereby eliminating the need to budget additional General Fund dollars for the project in next year’s budget. Emergency Communications Center Radios & CAD System Page 2 Staff recommends proceeding with this project at this time rather than waiting until the new budget year given the situation with our current system and the fact that funding is available. Staff will be presenting contracts for your approval at a future meeting if Council concurs with this direction. Radio System Upgrades The radio system replacement is necessary due to changes in federal requirements. We will be best suited to continue to work with neighboring municipalities regarding a radio solution as we have done with the City of Lewisville for the past 18 years or so. In order to best understand what might be the best solution, the City should conduct a new coverage study or participate with our neighbors to conduct a much broader study. We have been invited by Addison, Carrollton, and Farmers Branch to participate in a coverage study they will be commencing very soon. The City of Lewisville will also be participating in the coverage study. Currently, the cities of Lewisville, Coppell, Flower Mound and the Lake Cities partner in a radio system. The cities of Carrollton, Addison, and Farmers Branch partner in a different system. The most effective and efficient solution would be to combine these systems into one that provides much better coverage for all participating entities while being completely compliant with the new federal requirements. There is no doubt that our participation with other municipalities will reduce radio infrastructure costs saving the City of Coppell hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not more. It is also reasonable to expect some grant funding will be available if we proceed with a regional solution The anticipated cost for the city of Coppell’s radio system upgrade has not been determined at this time but it is expected to exceed $1,500,000. The anticipated cost for the City of Coppell to participate in the coverage study with the other municipalities is anticipated to be approximately $57,000. The coverage study will provide much needed information to help determine the best overall solution and associated costs. I do recommend that we participate in the coverage study. Funding for the study is available through the E911 Fund. Should Council approve of this strategy, staff will provide a contract for our portion of the coverage study for your approval at the July 27 meeting unless the costs are under $50,000. Should that be the case, I will enter into the contract as this amount is within my signature authority. Regional Communication Center On an even broader perspective, the opportunity to create a regional dispatch center is being discussed. Both the radio and CAD components will become integral pieces of any joint dispatch center. The cities participating in the radio system project are also interested in the potential regional solution to dispatch. While it is much too early to even determine the likelihood of this coming to pass, the concept of joint dispatch is working in the south Dallas County. Duncanville, Desoto, and Cedar Hill have Emergency Communications Center Radios & CAD System Page 3 operated a regional dispatch facility for a number of years. Keller, Southlake, and Colleyville have recently implemented the same strategy. The positives of joint radio systems and linked CAD systems would be enhanced even more if a regional dispatch center could become a reality. Maintaining and managing one center rather than multiple centers has obvious efficiencies. Competencies of staff and resulting improvements to citizens and the police and fire agencies using the center would be realized. The city managers, police chiefs, fire chiefs and other staff members from the interested cities will continue to explore this option over the next several months. We will provide additional information regarding the possibility of a joint dispatch center when it becomes available. Recommendations Staff recommends proceeding with both the radio coverage study with an expected cost of approximately $57,000 and the CAD replacement with anticipated costs of $850,000 to be funded as explained.

Multi-year grants will now be considered. Secondly, the threshold under which staff is authorized to distribute remaining funds without the need for a new grant submission has been raised from $1,000 to $10,000, provided the funds are applied to a previously approved grant for a qualifying use. In both cases, the financial reporting requirements continue until the Coppell Education Development Corporation is provided with receipts for all associated expenditures. A letter was sent to the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District on November 9 informing them of the two changes to the grant allocation process. The district was asked to submit a grant application for the remaining funding, including any interest that might have accrued. In response to this request, CFBISD submitted the grant that is before you this evening. The CEDC approved the grant as indicated. Subsequent to that approval, CFBISD has requested to make one modification, that being the inclusion of a full time instructional technology coach rather than the part time instructional technology coach as initially requested. Sufficient funding is available within the amount requested in this grant. Staff would recommend approval of this change since no additional dollars are being requested. We will also ensure the CEDC is in support of this change. It is our hope that any remaining dollars allocated to CFBISD following this grant award will be within the amount that the City Manager is authorized to distribute as described above. Should that be the case, we will be able to distribute all remaining funds and sunset the CEDC.

The new Memorandum of Agreement will be replacing the existing MOA that was executed in 1979 and has been an exhibit to the current Wholesale Treated Water Contract with the City of Dallas. The current Wholesale Treated Water Contract between the City of Coppell and the City of Dallas expires in 2017. The new MOA will be attached as an exhibit to our current contract with the City of Dallas and better clarifies the rate-methodology to be used in calculating the wholesale treated water rates. The new MOA retains the majority of the same provisions as the 1979 MOA, and should have a favorable rate impact on the City of Coppell and the other wholesale customer cities. The major change is the method to be used in allocating reservoir costs between the City of Dallas and the wholesale customer cities. The 1979 MOA used a growth rate for wholesale customer cities of approximately 8.5% while the new methodology produces a projected growth rate of approximately 4.5%. Staff recommends approval of the resolution. $Treated Water - 1 AR City of Dallas June 2, 2010 CERTIFIED MAIL 7001 1140 0000 3506 6882 Mr. Clay Phillips City Manager City of Coppell P.O. Box 478 Coppell, Texas 7501 9 Dear Mr. Phillips: We encourage your support, approval and execution of the enclosed new Memorandum of Agreement for Wholesale Treated Water (MOA). On May 12, 2010, the Dallas City Council authorized execution of this monumental MOA, establishing the rate-methodology for Dallas' wholesale treated water contracts for the next thirty years. The new MOA retains major provisions of the 1979 MOA which expired on December 17, 2009 but updates the method by which reservoir costs are allocated to more accurately reflect current conditions. Wholesale treated water customers shall be allocated a percentage of total reservoir costs based on a 10-year future use percentage which is calculated using a 24-year linear regression. This percentage shall be updated in conjunction with periodic cost of service studies. The new MOA will be used to set rates for fiscal year 201 1 which begins on October 1,2010. The new MOA is the culmination of over a year and a half of collaborative, consensus-building negotiations between Jody Puckett, City of Dallas Water Utilities Director, her staff and over thirty-five representatives of Dallas' wholesale water customers. Please present the MOA to your governing body for approval and execution by June 30, 2010, if possible. Please let us know when the MOA will be considered by your governing body, and we will make arrangements to attend the meeting so we can be available to answer any questions they might have. Please return a copy of the approving resolution or ordinance, or official meeting minutes which reflect approval of the MOA, along with four signed copies of the MOA to: Jacqueline Culton Interim Manager of Wholesale Services Dallas City Hall 1500 Marilla Street, Room 4/A/S Dallas, Texas 75201 Please contact Ms. Culton at 214-670-5243 should you have any questions or need additional information. You may also contact Ms. Puckett at 214-670-3144. Thank you very much for your consideration and attention to this very important matter.

APPLICANT: Owner: Applicant: Taco Bell of America Rose Guarneri 1 Glen Bell Way Turner Sign Systems Irvine, Ca 92618 2830 Beach St. #2 949-863-4500 Haltom City, Texas 7611 FAX: 949-863-4907 817-222-0033 FAX: 817-222-1329 HISTORY: S-1093 was established in 1995 to allow the construction of this Taco Bell restaurant, with drive-through service. At that time, there was significant discussion relative to the color, materials and general aesthetics and of the building design and signage. The approval of this development pre-dated the C.I.V.I.C. (Committee to Improve the Visual Image of Coppell) recommendations as well as the various amendments to the ITEM # 4 Page 2 of 4 Zoning Ordinance which codified many of these recommendations, such as the prohibition of internally illuminated can signs (both monument and attached), requiring individually mounted letters, earth-tone brick colors, old world style architecture, etc. To assure compliance with these design standards, this SUP included development conditions that regulated brick color, roofing materials, awning design and size, design and locations of all signage. TRANSPORTATION: Denton Tap Road is a P6D, six-lane, divided thoroughfare built to standard. SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North: Wachovia Bank and Coppell Montessori School; C (Commercial) East: Wendy’s; TC (Town Center) South: Woodside Shopping Center; C (Commercial) West: Ballet Academy of Texas; PD-217-C (Planned Development 217- Commercial) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996, as amended, shows the property as suitable for Neighborhood Retail uses. DISCUSSION: As discussed in the History section of this report, colors, materials and signage for this franchise/fast food restaurant were a concern when the zoning for this development was established. Given that this pre-dated the codification of the recommendations of the C.I.V.I.C report, the aesthetics of this development were ultimately regulated through conditions placed on this SUP. Over the years, this development has remained relatively un-changed except for the replacement of the Menu Board in 2005. Three changes are currently being requested: the replacement of the existing Menu Board; the replacement and enlargement of the order point canopy; and the addition of an Entry Portal. This request has been significantly revised since staff was initially contacted about changes/renovations to the existing building. The applicants have worked well with staff to eliminate most of the most objectionable items, which included a multicolored soffit, internally illuminated, brightly colored Entry Portal and Order Point Canopy. ITEM # 4 Page 3 of 4 Menu Board The replacement of the existing 51.1-square-foot Menu Board, with a 45.3 square foot Menu Board is acceptable as submitted. The new Menu Board is smaller than the existing and does not have various sized, added-on panels as the existing Menu Board. Order Point Canopy Currently, there is a small, non-descript black box that serves as the order confirmation. They are requesting to replace this box with a 12-foot tall structure with canopy over the driveway. The canopy includes a down light to provide light and shelter for customers. The application has deleted all the internal illumination of the canopy and decorative metal inset as originally proposed. This will include a speaker and small digital OCB reader to confirm the order. This is also supported by staff. Entry Portal Of the three requests, the Entry Portal is the only additional (vs. replacement) structure. The purpose of this Entry Portal is to establish the maximum height of 9-feet, so that vehicles will not hit the Order Point Canopy. As discussed above, this proposed structure has been significantly toned down since the initial inquiry; eliminated the internal illumination, the two-toned purple bells, orange panel and the internally illuminated open hours acrylic panel on the face of the structure. What is currently being proposed is a non-illuminated, two toned (dark aluminum and dark orange) 14-foot tall structure with a swing arm, with a yellow 9-foot clearance bar. While given the yellow color and the inclusion of the red bell logo, this could be considered a sign, but considering that this will not be visible from Denton Tap, and will serve as a “safety device” staff can also support this. RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: Staff is recommending APPROVAL of S-1093R-C, Taco Bell, subject to the following condition: 1. The development of these improvements shall be in accordance with the Site Plan, Menu Board, Order Point Canopy and Entry Portal which shall be made part of the ordinance.

APPLICANT: Bill Bauman Bauman Consultants 2300 Springmere Dr. Arlington, TX 76012-5672 Phone: (817) 271-0022 Fax: (817) 860-0077 HISTORY: On September 14, 2004, Council approved an extension of the existing light standard from 70 feet to 80 feet for the installation of telecommunication antennae. A shelter was constructed at that time adjacent to the concession stand to house the equipment. ITEM # 7 Page 2 of 3 TRANSPORTATION: Denton Tap is a six-lane divided roadway, within 120 feet of right-of-way SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North- Andy Brown West Park; TC (Town Center) South- Medical Office, Daycare & Veterinary Clinic; TC (Town Center) East – Andy Brown East; TC (Town Center) West – Copperstone Residential Subdivision; SF-12 (Single Family -12) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996, as amended, shows the property as suitable for park/open space. DISCUSSION: This is a request for antennae replacement on the existing light standard as well as an expansion to the shelter adjacent to the concession stand for new equipment installation. Originally the applicant proposed to expand the shelter to the southeast, but due to concerns related to accessibility to the concession stand, the proposal has been reconfigured to expand nine feet to the northeast. The expansion will be built with brick to match the existing structure and a condition of approval is that this shall be indicated on the elevation sheets. The applicant has agreed to coordinate with the Parks & Recreation Department for construction scheduling, so as not to conflict with any youth activities. The Redbud tree and irrigation affected by the proposal will be replaced. The existing gate will be replaced with a solid metal gate and painted to match or compliment the brick color. All and all, staff is in support of this request and is recommending approval. RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: Staff is recommending APPROVAL of S-1220R-TC, Verizon Wireless subject to the following conditions. 1. Coordinate with the Parks Department for the scheduling of construction times and the replacement of the Red Bud tree and portion of the irrigation system affected by the proposed change. 2. Label the proposed gate and brick color on the elevation sheets as “to match the existing brick”. ITEM # 7 Page 3 of 3 ALTERNATIVES: 1. Recommend approval of the request 2.

A final plat for East Dividend Drive was approved concurrent with the preliminary plat. A new Preliminary Plat, Final Plat and appropriate zoning will be required prior to any development of the 27 acres (not including East Dividend Drive) along the east side of S Belt Line Road. The current request is for zoning of two acres of property. TRANSPORTATION: South Beltline Road is a P6D, major thoroughfare built to standard in l20-foot right-of-way. East Dividend Drive is planned to be a four-lane divided roadway within 90 feet of right-of-way. SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North – vacant; A (Agricultural) South – vacant; A (Agricultural) East – vacant; A (Agricultural) West – vacant; PD-221R3-HC (Planned Development-221- Revision 3- Highway Commercial) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Coppell Comprehensive Master Plan, as amended, shows the property as suitable for freeway office uses. DISCUSSION: This is the first Detail Planned Development proposal out of a larger tract of land approximately 27 acres in size located on the east side of South Beltline Road, north of the proposed extension of East Dividend Drive. A 4,900-square-foot convenience store and a 7,100-square- foot gas canopy with eight pump islands (16 total pumps) are proposed. The proposed hours of operation are 24 hours a day, seven days a week. ITEM # 8 Page 3 of 8 As mentioned in the HISTORY section, East Dividend Drive was final platted in 2008 establishing the 90-foot right-of-way for the construction of a four-lane divided roadway. A temporary turnaround at the city limit line has been approved and recorded with the county. This road is envisioned to eventually be extended into the Cypress Waters Development within the North Lake Property (City of Dallas). The property is part of a larger tract of 27 acres currently zoned Agricultural, which is a temporary zoning classification until the appropriate zoning of Highway Commercial is established. Highway Commercial is the base zoning of the Planned Development request. Typically, a special use permit would be required for a gas station or convenience store use, but because the applicant is requesting so many exceptions to the Zoning Ordinance, they decided to ask for ALL the variances under the guise of a Planned Development. 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 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 a large scale gas station fits in with this vision. A similar proposal was denied in 2008 for a RaceTrac gas station/C-store proposal south of this site on the west side of South Belt Line Road. Staff was strongly opposed to the land use, consistent with the recommendation for this proposal. The applicant has met several times with city staff to discuss the issues at hand. Originally submitted in December 2008, the applicant first postponed the request to the January 2009 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting and then eventually submitted a letter withdrawing the case. They stated that the decision was made after several meetings with city staff and their consultants, realizing that the use will not be supported even if all site plan and building articulation requirements have been met. Since the original submittal, the applicant is proposing to enlarge the land area ITEM # 8 Page 4 of 8 to meet the area requirements of the Landscape Section of the Zoning Ordinance. In several of the meetings with the applicant, a comment related to reorienting the gas canopy and c-store on site was suggested by staff. The reason this point was discussed was to enhance the site to be more in line with the “Gateway” premise of the HC District. If reoriented, the gas canopy would not be fronting on Belt Line Road (either the side of the canopy, or the C-store would front Belt Line) and it would be less obtrusive at the entry into Coppell. The applicant has offered little change to their initial building configuration, but to their credit have made substantial modifications to the landscape plan and a couple of material “upgrades” to the elevations. Ideally, a Conceptual Planned Development for the entire 27-acre tract establishing accessibility, circulation patterns, utilities, signage and architectural compatibility would be in place prior to or concurrent with a detail planned development proposal for an individual parcel. This is not the case with this proposal, leaving several unresolved issues at this time. The need for access to/from future adjacent development is unknown. The architectural compatibility of the overall development should not be based on a prototypical gas station with bright red striping, large internally illuminated plastic awnings, brown concrete bollards spaced every three feet, “QT brown” concrete monument signs, etc.. With a Conceptual Planned Development for the entire property in place, the architectural style and tone for the 27 acre property would be set and this proposal would need to conform to it, not vice versa. In an attempt to achieve some uniformity to the development, staff requested and received a letter from the owner of the entire tract of land stating that the remaining vacant property north of East Dividend Drive will be developed with similar brick and stone consistent with this proposal. There are discrepancies between the general utility plan submitted for Dividend Drive and the site specific one for this proposal which too could be rectified with proper planning for the entire tract. 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 drafting revisions needed. These are included within staff’s recommendation. The site planning issues not specifically related to land use are outlined below. Site Plan: The site plan shows the 4,900-square-foot convenience store located toward the east side of the site which is dwarfed by a 7,129-square- foot gas canopy in front on the west side. The circulation to and from the site is adequate, but as mentioned above, staff is unclear of how ITEM # 8 Page 5 of 8 this will function as a part of a larger development. Specific to this site, staff was informed midway through the last submittal process, that there are a total of 55 brown concrete bollards proposed in front and in back of the convenience store. These are proposed to separate the walkway in front of the building from the parking. Throughout the City of Coppell, a six-foot sidewalk is typically used to give the storefront a slightly raised (six-inch curb height) entry and to separate the vehicular use from the pedestrian access. If there is any possibility of approving this request, staff is recommending that the bollards be removed and a standard sidewalk be used. Parking: According to the Zoning Ordinance 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 the adjacent thoroughfares. This proposal is not meeting this requirement, as there are a total of 25 parking spaces required; and 38 are proposed with 18 of those spaces (>50% of the required) in the front yard. This does not include the parking and paved area adjacent to the gas pumps, which wasn’t envisioned when creating the HC Section of the Zoning Ordinance. To overcome this zoning violation, the applicant has included this as a PD condition. If the applicant reconfigures the site as recommended by staff (reorienting the building closer to Belt Line Road with the eight gas pump islands either to the side or the rear), this would eliminate the need for the variance. It has been recommended that a bermed hedge row be used to screen the parking lot and gas pumps 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. Landscaping: The required landscape areas have been met. Since the initial submittal in December 2008, the applicant extended the property 50 feet to the north, creating additional area for landscaping. The applicant is providing Cedar Elms along S Belt Line (Primary Image Zone) and Crepe Myrtles planted in groupings at the entry points, meeting the minimum requirements of the Streetscape Ordinance. The HC District calls for a landscape treatment to “influence the character of the entrance into the city.” Even though the minimum requirements of the Landscape Section of the ordinance have been met, an expansive amount of pavement with gas pumps and parking is not the gateway envisioned. Staff requested a berm hedge-row on S Belt Line Road and East Dividend Dr and to include a landscape island at the end of the gas canopy to soften the appearance. Neither of these requests were addressed. ITEM # 8 Page 6 of 8 Elevations and Signage: The convenience store building façade is a slightly altered prototypical QT design, and does not fit with the character of recent retail development in Coppell subjected to the same regulations. To the applicants’ credit, they have removed the “QT button signs”, and have added stone columns and a mansard roof since the initial submittal. There are two awnings proposed- one large awning extending the majority of the front facade and a smaller one on the rear entry. Within the Zoning Ordinance, awnings are allowed, but are specified to be of a neutral color, constructed of fabric and to not be illuminated. The proposed awnings are bright red in color, made of shiny stretched plastic and illuminated, bringing special attention to them in the night and early morning. Signs are specifically prohibited on awnings, but the applicant insists that this is necessary for the project to proceed. These are listed as conditions of the PD on the Site Plan. At the Development Review Committee meeting, staff made some architectural suggestions to the applicant. Upon resubmittal of the attached revised plans, a letter was attached that indicated that “QT is looking into enhancements to see if any changes can be made.” At the time this staff report is being drafted, staff still has not received any changes. Therefore, staff is requesting additional fenestration on each elevation, and a roof style change from mansard to either hip or gable. In an attempt to combat the unsightliness of the gas canopy, staff recommended that a standing seam roof be added. The applicant complied with this request, but did it incorrect architecturally. The canopy roof should extend beyond the fascia and the fascia should be narrowed. The canopy also needs substantial modifications to comply with the Zoning Ordinance. The applicant insists that the red illuminated acrylic striping along the metal champagne colored canopy fascia is needed and will not alter their proposal. 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, and the applicant has listed this as yet another PD condition. The monument sign is a brown concrete sign with interchangeable price plates. If this application is approved, staff recommends that this sign be altered to include the same brick and stone as is shown on the c-store elevations. The location of the monument sign is proposed to be in the southwest corner 15 feet from each right-of-way line. ITEM # 8 Page 7 of 8 Summary: PD Conditions requested: 1. Gas station and C-store land use. 2. Greater than 50% of the required parking is located in the front yard. 3. Red illuminated band on the canopy. 4. Red illuminated vinyl awning/canopy sign on the front and back of the building. All and all, 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 more attractive appearance. The land use envisioned for this property is freeway office, which is defined as an area permitting medium-to-large scale development of office parks, corporate offices, and office lease space. A gas station does not fall within that definition. Staff is unable to support this plan, and recommends denial based on: 1. It being the wrong land use for this location; 2. The HC District calls for an attractive appearance from IH 635 and an impressive and unique gateway/entrance into the community placing emphasis on building arrangement, setbacks, parking, and special landscape treatment and this proposal is not unique and creates and unsightly appearance at the gateway to the community with no consideration being given to alter the gas canopy and building orientation; 3. A very similar gas station proposal (RaceTrac) was recently denied across the street; 4. The architectural tone of a larger development being set by a gas station; 5. An expansive amount of paved area; and finally, 6. Proposed visual clutter including but not limited to excessive amount of bollards, nonconforming signage, pump colors and tops. RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: Staff is recommending DENIAL of this request due to the land use, site design and overall appearance not being compatible with what was envisioned for this location. The following is a list of outstanding items: 1. Reorient the proposed building to the southwest corner of the site, position the gas canopy north of the structure and perpendicular to S Belt Line Rd. 2. Add fenestration on each façade. 3. Create a more traditional roof type (hip or gable as opposed to mansard) more characteristic of recent retail constructed in Coppell. 4. Construct a curb in front of parking spaces and eliminate the bollards shown, unless otherwise prohibited by the Texas Accessibility Standards. ITEM # 8 Page 8 of 8 5. Place a berm with a hedge row on top within the landscape area along South Belt Line Road and East Dividend Drive. 6. Include a landscape island at the end of gas canopy and include architectural element (i.e. boulder or stone monument) to prevent trucks from driving on it. 7. Alter the monument sign base to include the same brick and stone as is shown on the c-store elevations. 8. Revise the vicinity map to accurately reflect the proposed location of requested zone change (northeast corner of S. Belt Line Rd. and E. Dividend Dr. extension). 9. Extend the mutual access drive on the northeast portion of the property to the northern boundary if a compatible use is proposed for the property to the north. 10. Show details of proposed brick pavers directly adjacent to the building on detail sheet. 11. Include the contact person’s name within the contact information listed on plans. 12. Label the proposed fire lane and mutual access easements. 13. The Site Plan still shows 'vent lines' near the dumpster enclosure. The underground fuel storage tank vent lines shall be integrated into the fuel island canopy design. 14. The Floor Plan does not show a 'fire riser room'. The fire riser room shall be a minimum 64 square feet with direct exterior access. 15. The Utility Plan does not show a Fire Department connection. The Fire Department connection shall be detached from the building and located adjacent to a fire hydrant. 16. Rectify inconsistencies between overall utility plan and site specific plan (i.e. fire hydrants along Dividend do not match). 17. Remove striping from the canopy as this is not permitted. 18. Additional comments to be generated upon detailed engineering plan submittals.

HEARING DATE: July 13, 2010 STAFF REP.: Gary L. Sieb, Director of Planning LOCATION: The north side of Sandy Lake Road, approximately 600 feet west of Starleaf Road. SIZE OF AREA: 2.36 acres of property CURRENT ZONING: SF-12 (Single Family-12) on Lot 1, and Planned Development 235-O (Planned Development for Office use) on Lot 2. REQUEST: A Minor Plat to allow the construction of a single-family home on Lot 1 and the future construction of an office building on Lot 2. APPLICANT: Owner: Engineer: Mr. and Mrs. D. Akula Gonzalez/Schneeberg, Engrs. 109 Woodland Cove Robert Schneeberg Coppell, TX. 75019 660 N. Cent. Expwy. (972) 241-4698 Suite 250 Fax: (972) 241-4439 Plano, TX. 75074 (972) 516-8855 Fax: (972) 516-8901 HISTORY: In October of 2008, Council approved a change in zoning on the office portion of this property from SF-12 to Planned Development-Office to allow a two-story, 11,600 square foot office building to be constructed on an approximate .8 acre site. On that same date, the Council approved a minor plat on a larger portion ITEM #6 Page 2 of 3 of this same site that allowed a two-story brick residence on Lot 1, and the above mentioned two story 11,630 square foot office building on Lot 2. Both lots combined totaled 2.36 acres of property. Construction of neither building has occurred since approval of the minor plat, which, incidentally, was never recorded with Dallas County. TRANSPORTATION: Sandy Lake Road is a C4D, four-lane, concrete, divided improved roadway with median contained within an approximate 90 foot right- of-way. SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North- Vacant land and flood plain; City of Carrollton South- St. Joseph Retirement Village; PD-114R-SF-7 East- Single family residences; SF-12 West- Vacant; SF-12 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996, as amended, shows the property as suitable for neighborhood retail uses (which includes office ) DISCUSSION: This is a request to modify the proposed (but not recorded) Minor Plat of this property approved by Council in October of 2008. As you may recall, the owner had initially proposed to build an 11,600 square foot office building and an adjacent two-story residence at the same time. The objective was to live in the home and use the office for the owner’s law practice. The plan called for a grass- crete link between the residence and office, and a landscaped screen between the office building and the home. At the Council meeting, Council agreed to the grass-crete product and landscape screen at initial construction, but advised the owner the landscape screen would have to be replaced with a solid six foot tall masonry fence along the west and north property lines between the two uses if/when the property was sold to a subsequent owner. Plans have changed, and the owner wishes to modify the lot sizes, and move forward with construction of the residence on Lot #1. In addition, the applicant wishes to make the residential lot larger and the office parcel smaller. Specifically, the residential lot is proposed to be enlarged from 1.45 to 1.77 acres (63,226 square feet to 77,364 square feet) and the office parcel reduced in ITEM #6 Page 3 of 3 size from .84 to .52 acres (36,922 square feet to 22,784 square feet). The six foot masonry wall separating the residence from the office tract will be constructed with development of the single- family residence, as indicated on the Revised Site Plan. Sandy Lake Road is a Primary Image zone, and as such, the driveway entrance to the residence is required to provide a 15 foot wide stamped concrete paver band at the entrance which is a condition of approval of this request. Because a specific plan was approved for the office parcel and the reduction in size of the office lot no longer accommodates the proposed office, a revised PD must be submitted before any development can occur on Lot 2. The applicant understands this and a condition of approval of this Minor Plat will be the understanding that a revised Planned Development will be required before any construction can occur on Lot 2. RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: Staff is recommending APPROVAL of this request with the following conditions: 1. Provide a 15 foot wide stamped concrete paver band at entrance to residential lot. 2. Applicant understands a revised Planned Development for Lot 2 will be required, as well as a replat, before any construction can begin on this Lot. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Recommend approval of the request 2. Recommend disapproval of the request 3. Recommend modification of the request ATTACHMENTS: 1. Revised Site Plan 2.

Griffin, P.E., Director of Engineering/Public Works FROM: Keith R. Marvin, P.E., Project Engineer DATE: July 13, 2010 RE: Consider approval of a Resolution to reduce Denton Tap Road to one lane southbound, and one lane northbound along Denton Tap at the intersection of Bethel Road for a period of up to 40 calendar days from the beginning of work; and authorizing the Mayor to sign and execute any necessary documents. On April 27, 2010 the City of Coppell awarded a contract to JRJ Paving for the reconstruction of Bethel Road from Penfolds Lane to Denton Tap Road. This project will greatly improve the function of the intersection of Bethel Road and Denton Tap by adding dedicated turn lanes to eastbound Bethel Road. As part of these improvements the median noses in Denton Tap are being pushed back, the brick paver bands are being removed, and new stamped concrete bands are being installed to line up with the new north and south curb lines of Bethel Road. Bethel Road will remain open on both sides of Denton Tap for the duration of this work activity. See the attached exhibit for additional information. Closure of these lanes will cause an inconvenience to the residents and traveling public along both Denton Tap and Bethel Road. We understand this, and the contractor has agreed to complete this work during the remainder of the summer, when our traffic patterns are lighter, in order to minimize this impact. This work accomplishes both the widening of the intersection, and the replacement of the bands of brick pavers with stamped concrete. Approval of this resolution will allow the contractor to move forward with the work within Denton Tap associated with the Bethel Road reconstruction project. Staff will be available to answer any questions at the City Council meeting.
