RE: Work Session discussion on DRAFT Residential Urban Neighborhood District
(RBN).
HISTORY:
On March 22, 2011 the City Council followed the recommendations of the nine-member
Steering Committee and the Planning and Zoning Commission and adopted Coppell
2030 - A Comprehensive Master Plan by adding Chapter 12A to the Code of
Ordinances. This plan includes a variety of innovative concepts and strategies to
provide for long term sustainability for our community. A key component of the
Comprehensive Plan is the Future Land Use Plan. As stated “The Future Land
Use Plan serves as a framework for future development and redevelopment decisions
in Coppell… The land use designations are for planning purposes and do not
represent a change to existing zoning or development
regulations…implementation…must be accompanied by code revisions.” This is the
first proposal to design a new zoning district which addresses one of the visions of the
Comprehensive Plan. This proposed zoning district is to provide development
standards for well planned, higher density residential uses, with the integration of
non-residential uses in various areas in the City of Coppell.
On September 15, 2011, the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed, discussed
and made various suggestions for revisions and additions to the proposed RBN
(Residential Urban Neighborhood) District. On November 17, 2011, the Planning and
Zoning Commission recommended that the revised district regulations be brought to
Council for further review and discussion.
DISCUSSION:
The Future Land Use Map of Coppell 2030-A Comprehensive Master Plan
designated 18 areas as Urban Residential Neighborhood. These areas vary in size,
location and proximity to existing residential neighborhoods, freeways and future
transit lines. While the stated purpose of this Land Use Designation is to:
“Provide areas for a wide variety of higher density residential uses (typically greater
than 4 dwelling units per acre) that serve the needs of residents seeking alternatives
to low and medium density single family detached housing,”
compatibility with and sensitivity to existing development is essential. Attached to
this staff report is a DRAFT of a new zoning district proposed to accommodate this
Page 2 of 2
higher density residential development, Urban Residential Neighborhood (URN) as
envisioned in the Comprehensive Plan.
Staff has reviewed various mixed use residential district regulations from other areas
of the country as well as visited various developments within the metroplex. This
research provided invaluable information on what to do and what not to do.

3. 3rd DRAFT RBN (Residential Urban Neighborhood District).
Chapter 2: Planning Framework38 COPPELL 2030 - A COMPREHENSIVE MASTER PLAN
Purpose:
To provide areas for a wide variety of higher density
residential uses (typically greater than 4 dwelling units
per acre) that serve the needs of residents seeking
alternatives to low and medium density single-family
detached housing. These areas may serve the needs
of first-time home owners, empty nesters, and other
residents seeking to downsize or maintenance provided
dwellings in urban living environments. Typically
these areas provide owner-occupied housing stock
for smaller households with or without children.
New developments within these areas should have a
substantial component of owner-occupied housing
units, but may include a mix of well integrated owner-
occupied and rental properties. New developments
consisting of only rental housing communities are not
appropriate.
Uses:
Townhomes, apartment / condominium buildings,
small-lot single-family attached and detached dwellings
and ancillary, small-scale commercial uses that serve the
residents of the neighborhood. This category is also
appropriate for planned public and semi-public uses
designed to be compatible with residential uses, such as
schools, religious institutions, and civic uses. However
such uses should be permitted and encouraged only to
the degree that the scale, specific location, and design
does not significantly impact or impair the residential
character of the area.
Compatible Zoning Districts:
(TH-1, TH-2, MF-1, MF-2)*, PD
*Modifications to these districts are required to
incorporate appropriate site design standards as
described in the guidelines section.
Urban Residential Neighborhood
(T-4 General Urban Zone)
Chapter 2: Planning Framework39COPPELL 2030 - A COMPREHENSIVE MASTER PLAN
Outdoor gathering places may include a Green, Square,
or Plaza.
Attached dwellings include materials compatible with
nearby neighborhoods.
Setbacks are typically closer to the street, with a defined street
edge. Parking is typically provided in garages accessed from
rear alleys.
Sidewalks are comfortable for pedestrians and include
attractive streetscaping.
Urban Residential Neighborhood
Guidelines
Urban Residential Neighborhoods are denser than
Residential Neighborhoods, typically with attached
housing types and multi-story structures. These areas are
located and designed in a manner to provide residents
nearby access to neighborhood retail, services, and transit
facilities within convenient walking and biking distance.
Connectivity
Such areas have a system of interconnected streets with
pedestrian and bicycle facilities and streetscape amenities.
Sidewalks a minimum of 5 feet in width are located on
both sides of streets. Thoroughfares consist mostly of
residential streets and avenues. Pedestrian, bicycle, and
auto access are provided between neighborhoods.
Civic and Gathering Spaces
Formal and informal areas for outdoor gatherings and
recreation with pocket parks and neighborhood greens.
Setbacks
Continuous, defined street edge with building frontages
typically closer to the street, ranging from 5 to 25-feet.
Compatibility with Surrounding Development
Architectural character is compatible with the style, scale,
proportions, period, materials, and colors of adjacent
single-family neighborhoods, but may vary to a greater
degree in proximity to higher intensity development areas.
Street Edge Orientation
Entry facades are oriented towards the primary street
within a shallow setback from the sidewalk along the street.
The building wall creates an inviting image and defines the
street edge.
Residential Compatibility
For attached residential dwellings and public or semi-
public uses, the structures include massing and materials
compatible with nearby single-family dwellings.
Parking
Parking is provided to the rear of buildings in surface lots
or in parking structures. Rear alleys are the typical form of
access to residential parking/garages.

ARTICLE 18.A – “ RBN” RESIDENTIAL URBAN NEIGHBORHOOD
Sec. 12-18A-0. - General purpose and description.
The City of Coppell recognizes that land is a precious, non-renewable resource, and
that conventional zoning tends to foster a pattern of development that excessively
separates land uses and results in the requirement of extensive vehicular travel. The
Urban Residential Neighborhood (RBN) residential district zoning is intended
primarily as a residential area with supporting and complementary commercial and
public uses. The purpose of the Urban Residential Neighborhood (RBN) as
envisioned in the Coppell 2030 – A Comprehensive Master Plan is to provide a
development that will promote:
1. The physical and social integration of citizens diverse in age, lifestyle and
economic status, among others;
2. An adequate supply of housing that is affordable at all income levels;
3. A greater diversity of types of housing than found in other Coppell
neighborhoods;
4. An alternative means of developing land;
5. Public health, safety and welfare that fosters a strong sense of neighborhood
identity based on a shared, coherent, functionally efficient physical
environment; and
6. The distinctive, small-town character of Coppell.
Sec. 12-18A-1. - Use Regulations.
A building or premise shall be used only for the following purposes:
1. Any use permitted in the "2F-9", "TH-1", "TH-2", "MF-1", “MF-2”
Districts
2. Single family detached dwellings with a maximum lot size of 5,000 square
feet shall generally only be permitted to provide a transition between
existing single family detached developments and proposed higher intensity
RBN district uses.
Page 2 of 14
3. Any use permitted by special use permit, Section 12-30-6.
4. Home occupations.
5. Uses permitted in the “O” and “R” District are permitted as secondary
uses, whereas the primary uses within a RBN district shall be residential.
These office and retail uses are permitted with the following conditions:
a. Such uses shall not be located in “stand alone” buildings but shall be
seamlessly integrated with residential units, or community/recreation
facilities associated with the development.
b. The lot containing “O” and “R” uses shall have frontage on a
Boulevard, a Freeway or at the corner of two Avenues as defined in
the Transportation Plan, of the Coppell 2030 Comprehensive
Master Plan.
i. The incorporation of ground floor retail may require off-
street loading facilities.
Sec. 12-18A-2. - Height Regulations.

by a 3:1 residential proximity slope originating from an adjacent
residentially zoned property line height can be increased one foot
for every three foot over 24 feet.
Sec. 12-18A-3. - Area Regulations.
A. To encourage context sensitive design and to promote pedestrian friendly
streetscapes in lieu of typical minimum setbacks, Build-to Lines are being
established (Refer to Sec. 12-18A-4. - Building Orientation for additional
information). The build-to lines shall be determined by the type of street
frontage as defined in the Transportation Plan, of the Coppell 2030
Comprehensive Master Plan.

As defined in the Coppell 2030 Comprehensive Master Plan, developments in
Urban Residential Neighborhoods should be of an “Architectural character
(which) is compatible with the style, proportions, period, materials and colors of
adjacent single family neighborhoods, but may vary to a greater degree in proximity
to higher intensity development areas”. The architectural standards are intended to
provide detailed, human-scale design, while affording flexibility to use a variety of
building styles. All buildings that are subject to this section shall comply with all of
the following standards. The graphics provided with each standard are intended to
show examples of how to comply. Other building styles and designs can be used to

HISTORY: The Old Coppell Master Plan was accepted by City Council in April of 2002. On
May 13, 2003, Council amended the Land Use component of the 1996
Comprehensive Plan and enlarged the Historic Overlay district, as proposed in the
Old Coppell Master Plan and as recommended in April, 2003 by the Planning
Commission. On January 11, 2005, the HO (Historic Overlay) district, containing
various base zonings, was changed to a straight H (Historic) district, which
includes standards for construction, design guidelines and use regulations for Old
Coppell. In January 2007, 17 acres of the property to the west was rezoned to
Historic and the future land use plan was amended to allow for a continuation of
the targeted uses outlined in the Old Coppell Master Plan - retail, offices,
restaurants and similar uses. In August 2010, the final plat of Old Town (Main
Street) was approved, subdividing the property to the west for the purpose of
ITEM # 6
Page 2 of 4
establishing street rights-of-way and necessary infrastructure to support
development.
The structure on the subject property was built in 1940. It was subsequently
altered to include a carport and has never been platted.
TRANSPORTATION: A portion of South Coppell Road directly abutting this property was recently
improved to a two-lane 37-foot undivided concrete roadway within 60 feet of
right-of-way. The remaining portion is an unimproved asphalt roadway,
scheduled to be improved in the near future with the Bethel Road and Old Town
(Main Street) infrastructure improvements. South Coppell Road to the south of
this property was recently improved and contains angled on-street parking on both
sides.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North – residence; H (Historic)
South – residence; H (Historic)
East – replica Minyard Drug Store and Kirkland House; PD-234-H (Planned
Development-234-Historic)
West – vacant; PD-250-H (Planned Development – 250 – Historic)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan of March 2011 shows the property as suitable for
development in accordance with the Old Coppell Historic District.
DISCUSSION: Site Plan
This is a fairly simple request to allow site modifications supporting conversion of
a residential structure to an office use. This is the second conversion along this
stretch of South Coppell Road. The first was done in November 2004 for a
computer consulting office located at 717 South Coppell Road. The subject lot is
709 South Coppell Road, located on the west side of Coppell Road directly
opposite the replica Minyard’s Drug Store building. The proposed use is a
professional office to house Paula Huemmer’s Allstate Insurance Agency. The
reason for requesting a Planned Development (PD) is due to the plan not meeting
all of the landscaping and setback requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
Parking & Sidewalk Requirements:
The proposed asphalt material for the parking lot is acceptable within the Historic
District and will be included as one of the conditions within the PD. Although
parking lot paving is granted an exception in the H District, sidewalks are still
required to be constructed of concrete. Staff recommends the four-foot asphalt
sidewalk be revised to “concrete.” The existing structure is 1,741-square-feet, and
based on the ratio of one space per 300 square feet, six parking spaces are
required. Six are proposed and are shown in the rear of the property. A 12-foot-
wide asphalt drive is proposed to extend from South Coppell Road, widening into
a 20-foot-wide drive aisle between the two proposed parking spaces to the south
and the four to the north. The applicant intends to preserve the existing equipment
shed within this area. Five feet of landscaping are required along the west
property line and the west side of the drive aisle. Also the parking area is
required to be screened from adjacent properties. This shall be accomplished
ITEM # 6
Page 3 of 4
through the planting of shrubs or installation of a six-foot tall privacy fence. Our
preference is the landscape screen. These are included as conditions within staff’s
recommendation.
Landscape Areas/Tree Requirements:
Each of the three categories of landscaping areas are technically deficient in size.
Staff supports granting exceptions to the majority of these due to existing building
conditions and the lot configuration.
Perimeter Landscaping Requirements
The standard perimeter landscaping area is required to be 10 feet adjacent to all
property lines and 15 feet adjacent to the right-of-way, totaling 4,044 square feet
of required perimeter landscape area (2,964 square feet are provided). The
front yard 15-foot perimeter is the only one being met. The perimeter landscaping
along the north property line varies from 2 to 6.5 feet. The west side perimeter is
currently not being met, as the asphalt drive is shown to extend to the property
line (a minimum five-foot area is required as mentioned above). The southern
boundary is not meeting the perimeter requirement due to the existing carport
extending a foot from the property line. It is recommended that this carport be
removed, as this was an addition to the original structure and will no longer
function as a carport without a drive leading to it. With its removal along with the
concrete surface below, the ten feet of perimeter landscaping would be met in this
location and 135 square feet can be added to the nonvehicular landscape area.
Nonvehicular Landscaping Requirements
The nonvehicular landscaping area requirement is also not being met, as 1,308
square feet are required and only approximately 700 square feet are provided
(835 square feet, if the carport is removed). 654 square feet are required in the
front yard and only 40 square feet can be attributed due to the existing building
setback. Staff is recommending granting an exception to this category as it is not
physically possible to meet this requirement with the current site constraints.
Interior (Parking Lot) Landscaping Requirements
The interior (parking lot) landscaping area requirement calls for at least ten
percent of the paved area to be landscaped (416 square feet required) and a 150-
square-foot landscape island at the end of each parking row with an overstory
tree. The 10% landscape area is fulfilled (416 square feet provided) with this
plan, but the 150-square-foot landscape islands at the end of each parking row are
not provided in each case. Because this proposal is attempting to preserve all the
trees on site, staff can recommend granting an exception to this requirement.
Tree Requirements:
With the onsite tree preservation of 83 caliper inches and the addition of four
three-caliper-inch Shumard Oaks and one three-caliper-inch Burr Oak, the tree
requirements for each category are being met.
Elevations/Sign Requirements:
The only proposed change to the exterior of the building is the addition of signage
to the front and the addition of three windows on the north elevation. Staff has
worked with the applicant to reduce the proposed sign area to six inches high by
ITEM # 6
Page 4 of 4
eight-feet wide. “The Huemmer Agency” is proposed on the left side of the entry.
The signs will have black painted letters with the “Allstate” logo and is acceptable
to staff.
Recommended Changes:
1. The carport on the south side of the structure is not original to the structure
and appears tacked on. It will not function as a carport and is
recommended to be removed.
2. The chain link fence is recommended to be removed as these are not
allowed in any district other than Agricultural and in some instances Light
Industrial.
3. The parking lot is recommended to be screened with a hedge row or a
privacy fence. Details of which shall be shown on the site plan or the
elevations.
4. A five-foot landscape area should be provided between the end of the
drive aisle and the western property line. This will allow five feet of space
for vehicles to back into when maneuvering to leave.
Staff is in favor of this request given that these recommended changes are
followed.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of this request subject to the following conditions:
1. Remove the carport from the south side of the structure.
2. Remove the chain link fence along the property boundaries.
3. Specify “concrete” construction instead of “asphalt” for the four-foot wide sidewalk shown adjacent to
drive aisle.
4. Screen parking area with a hedge row or a 6-foot high privacy fence (landscape screening preferred).
5. Provide a 5’ landscape area between the end of the drive aisle and the western property line.
6. Insure the Landscape Plan is sealed by a Landscape Architect and the Tree Survey sealed by a
Landscape Architect, Arborist or Registered Nurseryman.
7. Revise the required and provided landscape areas within Landscape Requirements table to reflect total
areas for each category (Perimeter – 4,044 square feet required, 2,964 square feet provided;
Nonvehicular – 1,308 square feet required, 700 square feet provided; & Interior – 416 square feet
required, 416 square feet provided).
8. Specify the signage to be “black painted lettering” with a “black painted logo”.
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: On May 26, 2009, a Conceptual Planned Development for two commercial tracts
was approved as a part of a Detailed Planned Development zoning for the
residential component of PD-241-SF/C (Planned Development 241- Single-
Family/Commercial) allowing for 54 single-family lots. The subject lot was
approved to have a temporary leasing office which has not been constructed.
On October 18, 2011, prior to the presentation to the Planning and Zoning
Commission, the applicant revised the proposal as follows:
ITEM # 4
Page 2 of 7
1. Proposed to use brick along with the chopped stone as the primary
materials in place of the proposed stucco; thus eliminating the need for
the stucco exception.
2. The building size was reduced by 154 square feet.
3. The setback on the north side was increased from 12 feet to 15 feet.
4. The setback on the west side was increased from 57 feet to 58 feet.
5. A landscape island within the parking area was increased in size around
the 30 caliper inch Post Oak to be preserved.
The revised plans were presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission on
October 20, 2011.
At that meeting, the Planning Commission continued this case until
November 17, 2011, with the public hearing left open. The Commission
recommended consideration be given to further reduce the proposed
building size, increase setbacks, and increase landscape areas to reflect the
building standards and regulations of the City of Coppell.
TRANSPORTATION: South Denton Tap Road is an improved six-lane, divided concrete arterial built
within a 110-foot right-of-way. West Bethel School Road is a concrete two-lane
collector built within a 60-foot right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North – vacant; “PD-241-SF”, Planned Development-241-Single Family
South-Ace Hardware; “C”, Commercial
East-retail/gas station; “C” Commercial
West-vacant; “PD-241-SF”, Planned Development-241-Single Family
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan of March 2011, shows the property as suitable for
Residential Urban Neighborhood.
DISCUSSION: This is the first of two commercial tracts of the Conceptual Planned Development
for Red Hawk approved in June 2009. On the Conceptual Plan (attached), a
scaled 6,000 square foot office building was shown. This proposal is for an
oversized 8,700 square-foot medical & professional office building on the
northwest corner of W. Bethel School Rd. and S. Denton Tap Rd. Special
attention to the architecture and landscaping needs to be given, as this is a highly
visible site located at the main entry into the Red Hawk Subdivision along a
primary image zone, Denton Tap Road, and will eventually be bounded on all
four sides by roadways. The proposed site is positioned in such a way that certain
exceptions to the Zoning Ordinance (PD Conditions) are warranted, but staff can
only support one of those being requested.
Site Plan:
The proposed building is setback 60 feet from the S. Denton Tap and W. Bethel
School rights-of-way. The parking areas are proposed to be on the west, south and
east sides of the proposed structure with a fire lane/mutual access easement
extending from W. Bethel School, both to the north and east with dead-ends on
ITEM # 4
Page 3 of 7
each. There is a proposed screening wall on the west and north sides of the site
separating this use from the residential. Details of the wall are incomplete, but
staff understands that the wall (similar to Alexander Court) will be seven-feet
high and curvilinear to connect with the proposed wall to be built along Denton
Tap with the residential component of Red Hawk. The column spacing and the
end column have not been included and are required to be a part of this Detailed
Planned Development.
Parking:
The parking required for a medical office is one parking space per 175 square feet
of building area; parking for a professional office is one per 300 square feet. The
applicant is proposing to just meet the minimum parking required with 6,580
square feet of medical office (38 spaces required) and 2,100 square feet of
professional office (seven spaces required). In a previous Planned Development
by the same applicant, sufficient parking was not provided and a shared parking
agreement was eventually obtained with a nearby property in order to provide the
parking needed. In this case, there is not any nearby parking (except across
Bethel School at the hardware store). According to the applicant, only one lease
has been secured; a medical tenant. Staff has concern with this division/parking
allotment and requested that a floor plan be submitted to ensure only 6,580 square
feet will be used as medical office. Nothing could be gathered from the floor plan
as it merely indicated a fire riser room, entries and exits with the remainder being
shell building. In the end, if approved, staff will need to keep a record of the lease
spaces and the users to ensure sufficient parking is available to all tenants.
Tree Survey/Landscape Plan:
There are approximately 40 caliper-inches of protected trees proposed to be
preserved with this request. Six Cedar Elms, six Bald Cypress, eight Live Oaks,
and three October Glory Maples are proposed to be planted in concert with the
existing 30 caliper-inch Post Oak and the 10 caliper-inch Hackberry Trees. This
Landscape Plan does not meet the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance in
plantings or area (perimeter, interior and nonvehicular open space) requirements.
Elevations/Signage:
The structure is proposed to be 23 feet in height (measured to the peak), excluding
a 35-foot high tower element. The office is proposed to be constructed of an off-
white “oyster shell” stucco, a light brown and grey chopped stone, and a light
grey cast stone for the window and door surrounds. The roofing material is
proposed to be a terra cotta and dark brown color spanish tile. The tower is
proposed to be constructed of stucco with a copper dome. A 37-square-foot
monument sign is proposed to be located on the southeast side of the building. It
is proposed to be constructed of the same stone as the east elevation of the office
and to be externally illuminated with black pin-mounted letters. Currently, only
the sign areas are depicted on the building elevations with a note stating that the
signage will be back lit pin mounted aluminum letters of a deep bronze color, but
will allow for a logo up to 20% of the total sign area.
Requested PD Conditions:
The first exception requested is to the 80% masonry requirement. This is one
that cannot be supported by staff. As outlined in the Zoning Ordinance, approval
ITEM # 4
Page 4 of 7
of a Planned Development Condition is needed to allow for stucco construction
that exceeds 20% of the structure (exclusive of doors and windows). The reason
for this requirement relates to the “old world” architectural style the city has
encouraged since the mid ‘80’s. Since that time, we have attempted to evaluate
stucco requests case by case, based upon a number of criteria including: number
already in the neighborhood, architectural style of surrounding structures, impact
of this building type on the community, neighborhood concerns, etc. In April
2009, Council approved stucco construction on ten lots within the Planned
Development of the Chateaus of Coppell subdivision, of which only six were built
(southwest corner of Bethel and Denton Tap). The stipulations related to this
approval stated that none of the houses abutting Denton Tap or Bethel Road
would be allowed to be stucco and each stucco house shall be separated by three
lots. The reason this is significant is that the stucco look was not allowed where
visible from outside the subdivision, only internally to the subdivision.
This is a highly visible site. Three of the four sides are requested to be stucco (the
north, south and west). On the northern side, there are five proposed two-story
houses which will face the seven-foot screening wall and the rear of the proposed
building. Proposed Blackburn Drive, currently under construction, will provide a
direct view of this wall and façade. Over half of the south facade is proposed to
be stucco construction and this is highly visible along Bethel School Road. Staff
is of the opinion that this architectural style and construction type (stucco with a
red, Spanish tile roof) shouldn’t set the tone for the entry into the subdivision and
would look out of place in Coppell especially at the Bethel School/Denton Tap
intersection. Staff recommends using the chopped stone on all elevations.
The second exception being requested is perimeter landscaping. This proposal
includes only ten feet along Bethel School while 15 feet are required by
ordinance. This requirement is typical for any corner lot and staff cannot
recommend a variance to this standard.
The third exception being requested is the rear yard setback on the north side.
Typically, a 20-foot rear yard is required. In this case, a 12-foot setback is
proposed. This was revised since the initial submittal which met the 20-foot
required. The applicant shifted the proposed building to the north in order to
provide additional perimeter landscaping along W. Bethel School Rd. Although
this did improve the perimeter landscaping situation, it created the need for an
eight-foot setback variance and brought the rear of the building closer to the five
proposed residences across proposed Blackburn Drive. Staff cannot support this
exception.
The fourth requested exception is the west side setback. The applicant is
requesting 57 feet. This is a minimal setback reduction and with the street right-
of-way, the seven-foot wall proposed and the parking area, staff believes there is
adequate buffer to the residential component of the Red Hawk Subdivision
currently under construction. Staff could support this reduction of three feet. The
applicant would need to revise the typo on the Site Plan from “47 feet” to “57
feet”, but this may be a moot point, as staff is recommending that the site be
reconfigured as outlined below and shown the attached sketch plan.
ITEM # 4
Page 5 of 7
The fifth, sixth and seventh exceptions relate to the total landscape total areas for
each category. Staff cannot support any of the requested landscaping variances:
the parking lot landscaping exception of 340 square feet, the perimeter
landscaping exception along Bethel School, or the nonvehicular landscaping
reduction by 2,000 square feet. As configured, the building is just too large for
the site.
The final exception not included in the applicant’s list relates to the use of Pampas
Grass as a parking lot screening plant. Although this is a xeriscaping plant that is
encouraged by the city in other applications, it is not appropriate as a parking lot
screen. Evergreen shrubs, minimum two feet high at the time of planting (three
feet high after one year), are required. This was conveyed to the applicant at the
Development Review Committee Meeting and was not revised on the plan, so this
will need to be included as another PD Condition.
Recommended Site Reconfiguration:
Staff has suggested to the applicant that the PD Conditions and setback variances
could be met if the building were located closer to the S. Denton Tap and W.
Bethel School rights-of-way and the size of the building was reduced. The front
yard setback requirement within the Commercial District (base zoning of the
Planned Development) allows for a minimum of 30 feet if no parking is proposed
in the front yard. This would allow for enough perimeter, interior, and
nonvehicular areas to be provided with only a small reduction (800 square feet) in
proposed building size. This is still larger than the building size (6,000 square
feet) depicted on the attached Conceptual Plan approved in June 2009. A sketch
of the modified proposal (attached) that could be supported by staff was provided
to the applicant and applicant’s architect asking for any feedback; none was
received. With the current site configuration, the proposed building would need to
be shifted to meet setback requirements and substantially reduced in size, so some
of the parking could be converted into required landscape area.
As it is proposed now, staff cannot recommend approval. With a reconfigured
site as presented by staff and with the masonry percentage meeting the 80%
required for each elevation, staff could recommend approval. On the other hand,
denial to allow the applicant to make alterations the meet code and come back
later with a reapplication might be the better alternative.
SUMMARY As indicated in the revised HISTORY section, the Planning Commission
expressed concerns over a variety of issues at the October 20, 2011 Meeting.
At that meeting, they reviewed both the initial submittal and the second
iteration. Even after reviewing the second plan, the size of the proposed
building was a major concern. Since the meeting, per the Planning and
Zoning discussion, the proposal was revised for a third time. The building
footprint on the attached submittal was reduced in size by approximately 610
square feet from the previous 8,550 square feet resulting in 7,940 total square
feet depicted. The ratio of professional office to medical office increased.
Whereas before, the proposal was to have 2,100 square feet of professional
office, this proposal has 2,340 square feet; 6,426 square feet were previously
devoted to medical use and this proposal has 5,600 square feet allotted. With
ITEM # 4

the reduction in building size and the change in proposed use allocation, the
number of required parking spaces decreased from 44 to 40 parking spaces.
This freed up 1,116 square feet for additional nonvehicular landscape area.
In total, 1,722 square feet were gained in landscape area. Based on revised
calculations provided by the applicant’s architect on November 10, 2011, the
plan was still deficient 232 square feet in landscaping.
On November 11, 2011, the applicant’s architect informed staff that the
building would be reduced by an additional 88 square feet of the space
allotted for medical office; therefore, eliminating the need for one parking
space and accounting for the landscaping shortfall. The submission of
revised plans reflecting the change is a condition of staff recommendation.
The five requested PD Conditions are summarized as follows with staff’s
recommendation below in italics:
1. A 16-foot perimeter landscaping width along Blackburn is
proposed, where 17 feet adjacent to the parking is required.
• Staff recommends granting this condition as the 111-square-feet
deficit to the perimeter category can be provided elsewhere on
site.
2. A 15-foot building setback is proposed on the north side, where 20
feet are required.
• With the proposed wall and the low roofline and use of brick in
place of the originally proposed stucco, staff recommends
granting this condition.
3. The proposed landscape area was deficient by 232 square feet.
They were proposing to make up for this deficiency with an equal
area in patterned concrete in the parking area.
• This condition is not applicable, as the applicant is intending to
provide all of the required landscape area.
4. No columns are proposed for the area between the end columns on
the masonry wall; 10-foot minimum and 30-foot maximum spacing
is required.
• Staff recommends granting an exception to this condition, as the
wall depicted by the applicant on the cover page is a stacked
stone curvilinear design approved conceptually with the original
Conceptual Planned Development.
5. The required four-foot sidewalk along the east side of Blackburn
Drive is requested to be waived.
• Staff is not recommending that the sidewalk requirement be
waived.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of the Detail Planned Development – 241 Revised – Commercial
(Red Hawk Office) PROVIDED the following conditions are met:
1. Revise all plans to reflect the 88-square-foot building reduction and associated changes to the
parking and landscaping.
2. Provide a minimum four-foot sidewalk along the east side of proposed Blackburn Drive at the
entrance to the residential subdivision.

3. Include more detail in the masonry wall specifications. The detail provided does not match the
verbal description of the proposed wall provided by the applicant.
4. Show all existing and proposed easements as shown on the approved conceptual plan.
5. Change note within Site Data table to read “PD-241R-C” for the proposed zoning. The existing
zoning should read “PD-241-C”, as a Conceptual Plan was already approved for this site.
6. A Tree Removal Permit will be required prior to the removal of any trees.
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

PLANNING DEPARTMENT
STAFF REPORT
Article 34, Landscaping Regulations of the Zoning Ordinance.
Xeriscaping
P&Z DATE: November 17, 2011
STAFF REP: Matt Steer, City Planner
John Elias, Parks Operations Manager
PURPOSE: To recommend revisions to Article 34, Landscaping Regulations of the Zoning
Ordinance (primarily Table 1, Plant Palette) to promote the use of xeriscaping.
HISTORY: In September 2001, Council adopted an ordinance amendment revising the plant palette of
the Landscape Section of the Zoning Ordinance. This provided the development
community with a wide variety of plantings compatible to the region, and more
specifically, expanded the list to those that are native or adapted to the region and
naturally more drought tolerant. Extensive study and analysis was done to ensure these
plants were acceptable to local nurserymen, local landscape architects, the Parks &
Recreation Board, Planning & Zoning Commission, and city staff.
In September 2011, ten years later, staff gave a presentation to the City Council
reviewing the principles of xeriscaping, a recent plant palette survey and the
revisions/updates currently being recommended.
DISCUSSION: What is xeriscaping? How do weather and climate conditions affect water conservation
and consumption rates? What are some potential changes to the Zoning Ordinance that
can promote xeriscaping and ultimately water conservation? What are some of the
projects the City of Coppell has completed that represent xeriscaping and water
conservation techniques? These are all questions answered below.
Xeriscaping Defined:
Xeriscaping is the conservation of water through creative landscaping. The goal is to
create a visually attractive landscape utilizing plants selected for water efficiency (native
or adapted). A properly maintained xeriscape can easily use less than ½ the of a
traditional landscape. There are seven principles of Xeriscaping:
1. Planning and Design – Start with a well thought-out plan. Utilize professionals
and resources (books, websites, and other xeriscapes in the area) in the
formulation of your plan.
2. Practical Turf Areas – Limit the turf areas. Don’t completely eliminate these, but
be wise in the selection of turf area spaces.
3. Efficient Irrigation – Slow, steady, specific water application is better than spray.
Consider drip for trees and shrubs. Manage irrigation zones for different plants
(group according to water needs).
ITEM # 8
Page 2 of 4
4. Soil Improvements/Analysis- Make sure the soil is full of nutrients. These can be
added if needed.
5. Mulching- two to three inches of mulch is key. This keeps the soil cool and
reduces evaporation, holds moisture much better than bare soil.
6. Appropriate Plants- Plant selection is crucial. This is the main focus of the
recommended changes to the Landscape Section of the Zoning Ordinance.
7. Sound Maintenance – Maintain irrigation systems and make seasonal adjustments
if need be.
City Facility/Park Applications:
The City is currently providing model xeriscaping at various locations throughout the
city. Some of the xeriscaping concepts can be found in the medians along Sandy Lake
Road, at the Community Gardens, and at the Grapevine Springs Senior/Community
Center to name a few.
Some of the advantages of xeriscaping are:
It sets a good example for the remainder of the city to follow, requires little or no lawn
mowing, and when the water restrictions are implemented due to drought conditions, the
xeriscape plants will tend to survive.
Although the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages, it should be mentioned that the
application of xeriscaping may require more start up work, requires more training for the
employees, as the maintenance is different from the traditional lawn care, and some
citizens may not like the look. However, as xeriscaping is applied more frequently, more
and more people will see the benefits and it will gain in popularity.
Weather Patterns & Outdoor Water Consumption:
Why do we need to implement xeriscaping here in this area? The average monthly
temperature compared with the average monthly precipitation rate for the area tells the
story. As the temperature rises throughout the year, the average monthly precipitation
follows the same trend; that is until June. Starting in June, when the temperatures are still
on the rise in the summer months, the precipitation rate begins decreasing. August has
one of the lowest levels of precipitation yet is the hottest time of year; therefore, requires
the highest level of irrigation. A review of the residential water consumption rate for the
City of Coppell reveals that in August 2010, 240 million gallons of water are used.
That’s over 2.5 times the amount used in January (90 million gallons). Only in July or
August are precipitation rates predictably the lowest (when rainfall is needed the most).
In the summer of 2000, we had 84 consecutive days without rainfall; in 1998 – 58 days
and 1999 – 56 days. This past summer, there were 51 consecutive days. We broke the
record for the most days of over 100 degrees and almost broke the record for most
number of consecutive days over 100 degrees.
Irrigation Code:
One component of our research was to ensure our irrigation code was current. In 2009,
the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) adopted strict regulations
which Coppell subsequently adopted and is currently using. An irrigation plan, by a
licensed irrigator, is required for all new construction and requires a third party inspection
upon completion. As a part of the irrigation system, a rain sensor is required to avoid
watering during a thunderstorm or shortly thereafter. More restrictive irrigation

techniques and retrofits are being examined for feasibility by City Staff. Any revision to
the irrigation code deemed appropriate will be brought forward as a separate item.
Plant Palette Update:
As mentioned in the HISTORY Section, revisions to the plant palette of the Landscape
Section of the Zoning Ordinance were made in 2001, to incorporate xeriscaping plants
native to or adapted to the area. The main focus of this study is to reevaluate the changes
made and to make additions or deletions to the plant palette based on water usage,
drought & heat tolerance and disease resistance. The attached plant palette was cross-
referenced with the list from the Texas Smartscaping website and their water usage (low,
medium and high). The plants found on the Texas Smartscaping List would be considered
xeriscaping plants, because they are native or adapted to the North Central Texas Region
and are able to survive (in some cases, thrive) in the region with low to medium watering.
The low water Texas Smartscaping plants are depicted in yellow and medium water
Texas Smartscaping plants are in orange. A survey of the Plant Palette was sent to four
Landscape Architects that frequently do work in the area and reviewed by the Parks and
Recreation Staff and the Planning Department Staff. The attached plant palette outlines
the recommended revisions: some being additions or deletions while others are simply
being rearranged within the chart.
The recommended revisions to the Overstory Trees are as follows:
• Deletion of the Common Persimmon – This is rarely used and Texas Persimmon
(Texas Smartscaping Plant) is already listed as an accent tree.
• Addition of Lacey Oak- Texas Smartscaping Plant with low water needs, full sun
and deciduous.
• Deletion of Red Maple – Predominately a northern tree that has problems with the
excessive heat in the area.
• Deletion of the Sweet Gum – Has problems with the clay soils.
• Deletion of the Western Soapberry – Has problems with bores.
The recommended changes to the Accent Trees are as follows:
• Deletion of the Aristocrat Pear- This is similar to a Bradford Pear (deleted from
palette in 2001) in that it has problems with limb breakage.
• Deletion of the Crabapple Tree- has problems with bores.
• Addition of the Chitalpa – This is a hybrid between a Desert Willow and Southern
Catalpa. Likes heat, is fast growing, drought tolerant, has low water needs and is
deciduous.
• Addition of the Rose of Sharon (Althea) – This is a Texas Smartscaping Plant
with low water needs, full sun and partial shade.
The recommended changes to the Shrubs are as follows:
• Deletion of the Boxwood – Has problems with insects and disease.
• Addition of the Chinese Privet – This is a semi-evergreen shrub/small tree that
flourishes in this area.
• Addition of the Dwarf Burning Bush – This is a Texas Smartscaping Plant with
low/medium water needs.
• Addition of Earth-kind Roses- Full sun/ light shade with low water needs and
would include Knockout Roses that are currently being used.
ITEM # 8
Page 4 of 4
• Addition of Forsythia – Texas Smartscaping plant that is deciduous, requires full
sun/partial shade and is a low to medium water user.
• Deletion of the Leatherleaf Mahonia – This is a very difficult plant to grow in this
area.
• Addition of Soft Leaf Yucca – Has excellent heat and drought tolerance.
There are two recommended deletions to the Groundcover category-Arkansas Yucca
and Germander.
The recommended changes to the Grasses are as follows:
• Addition of Buffalo Grass – Texas Smartscaping plant that has low water needs
and will remain green with less than ½ the water as Bermuda.
• Addition of Dwarf Hameln grass, Little Bunny and Mexican Feather grass which
are now being cultivated and sold in nurseries.
Another recommended update to the Landscape Section of the Zoning Ordinance is to the
interior (parking lot) landscaping area requirement. Currently, landscape islands
within a parking area are required to have grass or groundcover and an overstory tree.
Allowing for the use of mulch as an option while still providing an overstory tree in this
situation would promote xeriscaping. This would be appropriate for smaller islands
under 200 square feet or double-stacked islands of 400 square feet or smaller.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of the Plant Palette revisions and the mulching option to be added to
Article 34, Landscaping Regulations of the Zoning Ordinance.

DATE: January 10, 2012
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Marcie Diamond, Assistant Director of Planning
RE: Application by Chesapeake Energy to allow the drilling and operation of
five additional wells and the re-issuance of one previously approved well
on the 3.013 acre pad site located north of Bethel Road, west of
Creekview Drive, known as the Fellowship Property.
History
¾ On January 9, 2007, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2007-1150 regulating
gas drilling within the city limits of Coppell.
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 Creekview Drive, subject to:
o A Tree Removal Permit being issued with the payment of $149,900 to the
City of Coppell Reforestation and Natural Areas fund.
¾ On June 10, 2008 Council approved five (5) additional wells on this pad site,
subject to:
o An 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.
o The issuance of separate permits by the city of Coppell prior to the drilling
activities of additional wells on this site.
o The transportation route be reevaluated prior to the issuance of permits for
any new well.
¾ On April 28, 2009, Council amended Article 9-26 “Oil and Gas Drilling and
Production” which increased the setbacks, notification area, screening
requirements and incorporated various environmental regulations, including a
noise management plan.
¾ On February 9, 2010 Council approved an expansion of the existing Fellowship
pad site from 2.152 acres to 3.013 acres to allow the drilling and operation of
three (3) additional gas wells and the re-issuance of a previously approved gas
well, subject to the following conditions:
1. Issuance of separate permits by the city of Coppell prior to the drilling
activities of additional wells on this site.
2. The Erosion Control Plan for the site to be revisited. All erosion protection
needs to be in compliance with the Erosion Control Plan and city
Page 2 of 3
ordinances. Operators shall clean any debris or dirt tracked onto city
streets.
3. A Tree Removal permit will be required and a contribution to the City of
Coppell Reforestation and Natural Areas Fund in the amount of
$78,700.00 will be assessed.
4. Staff administratively reviewing and approving the final elevations of the
screening wall prior to construction.
5. The construction of the west and north walls along the perimeter of the
site being delayed until all drilling activities are complete, or December
2011, which ever occurs first.
6. If Fellowship Church removes trees from the abutting property, then the
Tree Removal Permit would be conditioned upon planting a minimum of
33 replacement trees adjacent to this pad site as originally required.
¾ Since that time all conditions have been complied with including the permitting of five
wells, contribution to the Reforestation Fund, and construction of the wall. No trees
have been removed from the abutting church site, therefore that condition will be
carried forward to the current application.
Current Application
On November 28, 2011, staff received an application by Chesapeake Energy to
allow the drilling and operation of up to five (5) additional gas wells, and the re-
issuance of a previously approved well to a total of six (6) new wells on this site.
These wells have been permitted by the Railroad Commission (RRC). This
submission is in accordance with the amended Ordinance, which, in part, requires a
public hearing due to habitable structures being within 1,000 feet of the perimeter of
the pad site, and the submission of a noise study as well as compliance with other
environmental regulations.
There will not be any changes to the configuration or screening of the existing pad
site, no additional trees will be removed. The Transportation Route, Road Repair
Agreement, Water Source (DFW Airport), Noise Management Plan, etc. will be as
established with previous ten (10) permits on this site. The lease pool of 325.35
acres includes approximately 75 acres of city-owned property.
Public Hearing
This well is within 1,000 feet of six (6) habitable structures (four in the City of
Coppell and two in the City of Grapevine) and therefore, 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 1,000 feet of the pad site, which included 15 property
owners, six of which are within the city of Coppell.
Review Comments
On December 28, 2011 staff received a letter from Larry O. Hulsey (attached), stating
compliance with state and city requirements, allowing the proposed gas wells. In
Page 3 of 3
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.
o Screening and Landscaping
Since the previous approvals, an eight (8) foot solid masonry wall along the
perimeter of the pad site has been constructed. The ordinance requires the
planting of evergreen trees around the perimeter of the site. When the initial
seven wells were approved in 2008, it was determined that compliance with this
provision of the Ordinance would actually necessitate the removal of existing
mature trees. Therefore, as an alternative to planting the required 33 Red Cedar
trees on-site they were planted within Wagon Wheel Park. However, in the event
that Fellowship Church desires to remove (clear cut) trees from this property, then
the Tree Removal Permit would be conditioned upon the planting of a minimum
of 33 replacement trees adjacent to this pad site as originally required.
Included in this application is an updated line-of-sight study which illustrates that
the production equipment is not visible from adjacent roadways given the existing
trees and screening wall. However, there is some visibility of the wall from
Creekview Drive due to the location of the existing driveway. Therefore,
submitted with this application, is a Landscape Plan indicating the planting of
twelve overstory trees (oaks and elms) south of the existing driveway to further
obscure the view of this site from adjacent properties and right-of-ways.
Given that this drilling activity (nine wells drilled and producing since August
2008) has not been a nuisance, and the city has not received any complaints,
additional drilling activity on this site appears to be appropriate.
Staff Recommendation:
Approval of an application by Chesapeake Energy to allow the drilling and operation of
five additional wells and the re-issuance of one previously approved well on the 3.013
acre pad site located north of Bethel Road, west of Creekview Drive, known as the
Fellowship Property. subject to:
1. Issuance of separate permits by the city of Coppell prior to the drilling activities
of additional wells on this site.
2. If Fellowship Church removes trees from the abutting property, then the Tree
Removal Permit would be conditioned upon planting a minimum of 33
replacement trees adjacent to this pad site as originally required.

delete all references to previous pad site (2.152 acres)
b. The street along the southern boundary is Bethel Road, not
Bethel School Road

Response: All comments have been addressed. Yes, the production plan reflects the
current conditions on this location. Please find a revised production site
plan included in the permit application package.

Phone: 817.502.5645 • Fax 817.945.5202 • dusty.anderson@chk.com
a. Do you have the right to develop the minerals under any right-
of-way” – the yes box is checked on all applications. Please
verify that this is a true statement.
Response: It is our understanding that the box should be checked on all applications.
Comment: 7. Noise Management Plan:
a. Update or verify that all conditions are the same as 2009 and
therefore the plan is still applicable.
Response: The comment has been addressed. Typically, we do not redo sound
surveys unless specifically requested to do so by the city or if conditions
significantly change. It is our belief that because we have not had any
sound issues on site to date, there is no need to revise the sound survey.
Should the city request the sound survey be performed again, please let
us know and we are happy to oblige.
Sincerely,
Dusty Anderson

PERMIT TO DRILL, RE-COMPLETE, OR RE-ENTER ON REGULAR OR ADMINISTRATIVE EXCEPTION LOCATION
Permit expiration. This permit expires two (2) years from the date of issuance shown on the original permit. The permit period
will not be extended.
Rule 37 Exception Permits. This Statewide Rule 37 exception permit is granted under either provision Rule 37 (h)(2)(A) or
37(h)(2)(B). Be advised that a permit granted under Rule 37(h)(2)(A), notice of application, is subject to the General Rules of
Practice and Procedures and if a protest is received under Section 1.3, Filing of Documents, and/or Section 1.4, Computation of
Time, the permit may be deemed invalid.
Before Drilling
Fresh Water Sand Protection. The operator must set and cement sufficient surface casing to protect all usable-quality water, as
defined by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Before drilling a well, the operator must obtain a letter from
the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality stating the depth to which water needs protection, Write: Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality (Surface Casing-MC151), P.O. Box 13087, Austin, TX 78711-3087. File a copy of the letter with the
appropriate district office.
CONDITIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS
Page 1 of 3
Railroad Commission of Texas
*NOTIFICATION
Accessing the Well Site. If an OPERATOR, well equipment TRANSPORTER or WELL service provider must access the well site
from a roadway on the state highway system (Interstate, U.S. Highway, State Highway, Farm-to-Market Road, Ranch-to-Market
Road, etc.), an access permit is required from TxDOT. Permit applications are submitted to the respective TxDOT Area Office
serving the county where the well is located.
Water Transport to Well Site. If an operator intends to transport water to the well site through a temporary pipeline laid above
ground on the states right-of-way, an additional TxDOT permit is required. Permit applications are submitted to the respective
TxDOT Area Office serving the county where the well is located.
During Drilling
Permit at Drilling Site. A copy of the Form W-1 Drilling Permit Application, the location plat, a copy of Statewide Rule 13
alternate surface casing setting depth approval from the district office, if applicable, and this drilling permit must be kept at the
permitted well site throughout drilling operations.
*Notification of Setting Casing. The operator MUST call in notification to the appropriate district office (phone number shown the
on permit) a minimum of eight (8) hours prior to the setting of surface casing, intermediate casing, AND production casing. The
individual giving notification MUST be able to advise the district office of the drilling permit number.
*Notification of Re-completion/Re-entry. The operator MUST call in notification to the appropriate district office (phone number
shown on permit) a minimum of eight (8) hours prior to the initiation of drilling or re-completion operations. The individual giving
notification MUST be able to advise the district office of the drilling permit number.
Drilling Permit Number. The drilling permit number shown on the permit MUST be given as a reference with any notification to
the district (see below), correspondence, or application concerning this permit.
Permit Invalidation. It is the operator's responsibility to make sure that the permitted location complies with Commission density
and spacing rules in effect on the spud date. The permit becomes invalid automatically if, because of a field rule change or the
drilling of another well, the stated location is not in compliance with Commission field rules on the spud date. If this occurs,
application for an exception to Statewide Rules 37 and 38 must be made and a special permit granted prior to spudding. Failure to do
so may result in an allowable not being assigned and/or enforcement procedures being initiated.
The operator is REQUIRED to notify the district office when setting surface casing, intermediate casing, and production casing, or
when plugging a dry hole. The district office MUST also be notified if the operator intends to re-enter a plugged well or
re-complete a well into a different regulatory field. Time requirements are given below. The drilling permit number MUST be
given with such notifications.
Completion and Plugging Reports
Dry or Noncommercial Hole. Statewide Rule 14(b)(2) prohibits suspension of operations on each dry or non-commercial well
without plugging unless the hole is cased and the casing is cemented in compliance with Commission rules. If properly cased,
Statewide Rule 14(b)(2) requires that plugging operations must begin within a period of one (1) year after drilling or operations have
ceased. Plugging operations must proceed with due diligence until completed. An extension to the one-year plugging requirement
may be granted under the provisions stated in Statewide Rule 14(b)(2).
Intention to Plug. The operator must file a Form W-3A (Notice of Intention to Plug and Abandon) with the district office at least
five (5) days prior to beginning plugging operations. If, however, a drilling rig is already at work on location and ready to begin
plugging operations, the district director or the directors delegate may waive this requirement upon request, and verbally approve
the proposed plugging procedures.
*Notification of Plugging a Dry Hole. The operator MUST call in notification to the appropriate district office (phone number
shown on permit) a minimum of four (4) hours prior to beginning plugging operations. The individual giving the notification MUST
be able to advise the district office of the drilling permit number and all water protection depths for that location as stated in the
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality letter.

Producing Well. Statewide Rule 16 states that the operator of a well shall file with the Commission the appropriate completion
report within thirty (30) days after completion of the well or within ninety (90) days after the date on which the drilling operation is
completed, whichever is earlier. Completion of the well in a field authorized by this permit voids the permit for all other fields
included in the permit unless the operator indicates on the initial completion report that the well is to be a dual or multiple
completion and promptly submits an application for multiple completion. All zones are required to be completed before the
expiration date on the existing permit. Statewide Rule 40(d) requires that upon successful completion of a well in the same reservoir
as any other well previously assigned the same acreage, proration plats and P-15s (if required) must be submitted with no double
assignment of acreage.

CONDITIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS

Railroad Commission of Texas
*NOTIFICATION
Accessing the Well Site. If an OPERATOR, well equipment TRANSPORTER or WELL service provider must access the well site
from a roadway on the state highway system (Interstate, U.S. Highway, State Highway, Farm-to-Market Road, Ranch-to-Market
Road, etc.), an access permit is required from TxDOT. Permit applications are submitted to the respective TxDOT Area Office
serving the county where the well is located.
Water Transport to Well Site. If an operator intends to transport water to the well site through a temporary pipeline laid above
ground on the states right-of-way, an additional TxDOT permit is required. Permit applications are submitted to the respective
TxDOT Area Office serving the county where the well is located.
During Drilling
Permit at Drilling Site. A copy of the Form W-1 Drilling Permit Application, the location plat, a copy of Statewide Rule 13
alternate surface casing setting depth approval from the district office, if applicable, and this drilling permit must be kept at the
permitted well site throughout drilling operations.
*Notification of Setting Casing. The operator MUST call in notification to the appropriate district office (phone number shown the
on permit) a minimum of eight (8) hours prior to the setting of surface casing, intermediate casing, AND production casing. The
individual giving notification MUST be able to advise the district office of the drilling permit number.
*Notification of Re-completion/Re-entry. The operator MUST call in notification to the appropriate district office (phone number
shown on permit) a minimum of eight (8) hours prior to the initiation of drilling or re-completion operations. The individual giving
notification MUST be able to advise the district office of the drilling permit number.
Drilling Permit Number. The drilling permit number shown on the permit MUST be given as a reference with any notification to
the district (see below), correspondence, or application concerning this permit.
Permit Invalidation. It is the operator's responsibility to make sure that the permitted location complies with Commission density
and spacing rules in effect on the spud date. The permit becomes invalid automatically if, because of a field rule change or the
drilling of another well, the stated location is not in compliance with Commission field rules on the spud date. If this occurs,
application for an exception to Statewide Rules 37 and 38 must be made and a special permit granted prior to spudding. Failure to do
so may result in an allowable not being assigned and/or enforcement procedures being initiated.
The operator is REQUIRED to notify the district office when setting surface casing, intermediate casing, and production casing, or
when plugging a dry hole. The district office MUST also be notified if the operator intends to re-enter a plugged well or
re-complete a well into a different regulatory field. Time requirements are given below. The drilling permit number MUST be
given with such notifications.
Completion and Plugging Reports
Dry or Noncommercial Hole. Statewide Rule 14(b)(2) prohibits suspension of operations on each dry or non-commercial well
without plugging unless the hole is cased and the casing is cemented in compliance with Commission rules. If properly cased,
Statewide Rule 14(b)(2) requires that plugging operations must begin within a period of one (1) year after drilling or operations have
ceased. Plugging operations must proceed with due diligence until completed. An extension to the one-year plugging requirement
may be granted under the provisions stated in Statewide Rule 14(b)(2).
Intention to Plug. The operator must file a Form W-3A (Notice of Intention to Plug and Abandon) with the district office at least
five (5) days prior to beginning plugging operations. If, however, a drilling rig is already at work on location and ready to begin
plugging operations, the district director or the directors delegate may waive this requirement upon request, and verbally approve
the proposed plugging procedures.
*Notification of Plugging a Dry Hole. The operator MUST call in notification to the appropriate district office (phone number
shown on permit) a minimum of four (4) hours prior to beginning plugging operations. The individual giving the notification MUST
be able to advise the district office of the drilling permit number and all water protection depths for that location as stated in the
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality letter.

Producing Well. Statewide Rule 16 states that the operator of a well shall file with the Commission the appropriate completion
report within thirty (30) days after completion of the well or within ninety (90) days after the date on which the drilling operation is
completed, whichever is earlier. Completion of the well in a field authorized by this permit voids the permit for all other fields
included in the permit unless the operator indicates on the initial completion report that the well is to be a dual or multiple
completion and promptly submits an application for multiple completion. All zones are required to be completed before the
expiration date on the existing permit. Statewide Rule 40(d) requires that upon successful completion of a well in the same reservoir
as any other well previously assigned the same acreage, proration plats and P-15s (if required) must be submitted with no double
assignment of acreage.

ground on the states right-of-way, an additional TxDOT permit is required. Permit applications are submitted to the respective
TxDOT Area Office serving the county where the well is located.
During Drilling
Permit at Drilling Site. A copy of the Form W-1 Drilling Permit Application, the location plat, a copy of Statewide Rule 13
alternate surface casing setting depth approval from the district office, if applicable, and this drilling permit must be kept at the
permitted well site throughout drilling operations.
*Notification of Setting Casing. The operator MUST call in notification to the appropriate district office (phone number shown the
on permit) a minimum of eight (8) hours prior to the setting of surface casing, intermediate casing, AND production casing. The
individual giving notification MUST be able to advise the district office of the drilling permit number.
*Notification of Re-completion/Re-entry. The operator MUST call in notification to the appropriate district office (phone number
shown on permit) a minimum of eight (8) hours prior to the initiation of drilling or re-completion operations. The individual giving
notification MUST be able to advise the district office of the drilling permit number.
Drilling Permit Number. The drilling permit number shown on the permit MUST be given as a reference with any notification to
the district (see below), correspondence, or application concerning this permit.
Permit Invalidation. It is the operator's responsibility to make sure that the permitted location complies with Commission density
and spacing rules in effect on the spud date. The permit becomes invalid automatically if, because of a field rule change or the
drilling of another well, the stated location is not in compliance with Commission field rules on the spud date. If this occurs,
application for an exception to Statewide Rules 37 and 38 must be made and a special permit granted prior to spudding. Failure to do
so may result in an allowable not being assigned and/or enforcement procedures being initiated.
The operator is REQUIRED to notify the district office when setting surface casing, intermediate casing, and production casing, or
when plugging a dry hole. The district office MUST also be notified if the operator intends to re-enter a plugged well or
re-complete a well into a different regulatory field. Time requirements are given below. The drilling permit number MUST be
given with such notifications.
Completion and Plugging Reports
Dry or Noncommercial Hole. Statewide Rule 14(b)(2) prohibits suspension of operations on each dry or non-commercial well
without plugging unless the hole is cased and the casing is cemented in compliance with Commission rules. If properly cased,
Statewide Rule 14(b)(2) requires that plugging operations must begin within a period of one (1) year after drilling or operations have
ceased. Plugging operations must proceed with due diligence until completed. An extension to the one-year plugging requirement
may be granted under the provisions stated in Statewide Rule 14(b)(2).
Intention to Plug. The operator must file a Form W-3A (Notice of Intention to Plug and Abandon) with the district office at least
five (5) days prior to beginning plugging operations. If, however, a drilling rig is already at work on location and ready to begin
plugging operations, the district director or the directors delegate may waive this requirement upon request, and verbally approve
the proposed plugging procedures.
*Notification of Plugging a Dry Hole. The operator MUST call in notification to the appropriate district office (phone number
shown on permit) a minimum of four (4) hours prior to beginning plugging operations. The individual giving the notification MUST
be able to advise the district office of the drilling permit number and all water protection depths for that location as stated in the
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality letter.

Producing Well. Statewide Rule 16 states that the operator of a well shall file with the Commission the appropriate completion
report within thirty (30) days after completion of the well or within ninety (90) days after the date on which the drilling operation is
completed, whichever is earlier. Completion of the well in a field authorized by this permit voids the permit for all other fields
included in the permit unless the operator indicates on the initial completion report that the well is to be a dual or multiple
completion and promptly submits an application for multiple completion. All zones are required to be completed before the
expiration date on the existing permit. Statewide Rule 40(d) requires that upon successful completion of a well in the same reservoir
as any other well previously assigned the same acreage, proration plats and P-15s (if required) must be submitted with no double
assignment of acreage.

Statewide Rule 14(b)(2) requires that plugging operations must begin within a period of one (1) year after drilling or operations have
ceased. Plugging operations must proceed with due diligence until completed. An extension to the one-year plugging requirement
may be granted under the provisions stated in Statewide Rule 14(b)(2).
Intention to Plug. The operator must file a Form W-3A (Notice of Intention to Plug and Abandon) with the district office at least
five (5) days prior to beginning plugging operations. If, however, a drilling rig is already at work on location and ready to begin
plugging operations, the district director or the directors delegate may waive this requirement upon request, and verbally approve
the proposed plugging procedures.
*Notification of Plugging a Dry Hole. The operator MUST call in notification to the appropriate district office (phone number
shown on permit) a minimum of four (4) hours prior to beginning plugging operations. The individual giving the notification MUST
be able to advise the district office of the drilling permit number and all water protection depths for that location as stated in the
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality letter.

Producing Well. Statewide Rule 16 states that the operator of a well shall file with the Commission the appropriate completion
report within thirty (30) days after completion of the well or within ninety (90) days after the date on which the drilling operation is
completed, whichever is earlier. Completion of the well in a field authorized by this permit voids the permit for all other fields
included in the permit unless the operator indicates on the initial completion report that the well is to be a dual or multiple
completion and promptly submits an application for multiple completion. All zones are required to be completed before the
expiration date on the existing permit. Statewide Rule 40(d) requires that upon successful completion of a well in the same reservoir
as any other well previously assigned the same acreage, proration plats and P-15s (if required) must be submitted with no double
assignment of acreage.

Attention: Laura Wallace
Subject: Fellowship Pad Drill Site Coppell Noise Management Plan
Dear Mrs. Wallace:
The following Noise Abatement Study was developed for your Fellowship Pad drill site per
the requirements of the City of Coppell. Chesapeake Energy has scheduled a typical drilling rig to drill this
well. Based on measured operational and ambient sound levels, the noise levels generated by gas well
drilling, fracing, and production operations at this location will be in compliance with the requirements of
Coppell’s Gas Well Permit Requirements.
Site Location and Conditions
The Fellowship Pad well is located off West Bethel Road approximately 3/10 of a mile east of
Enchanted Way in Coppell, Texas. The nearest off-site noise receptors to the site are commercial businesses
located approximately 600 feet to the east of the monitoring location. During the survey, noise from heavy
air traffic was observed from nearby DFW airport located to the south of the site.
Ambient Sound Level Survey
A 72-hour pre-drilling sound level survey was performed for the Fellowship Pad drill site per
the requirements of the City of Coppell. The continuous 72-hour sound level survey was performed at the
proposed Fellowship Pad drilling site in Coppell, Texas, from Saturday, October 10, to Monday, October 12,
2009, to measure and document the pre-drilling ambient sound levels at the site.
Sound Measurement Instrumentation
A Type 1 Bruel & Kjaer 2238 Mediator Sound Level Meter was programmed, calibrated, and
deployed. The metering system was installed on a t-post located at the site approximately 5 feet above
ground level in a metal enclosure for security purposes. The attached site map indicates the ambient
measurement location at the site.

Measurement Results
The measured sound level data collected at the proposed drill site is attached in both a
graphed and tabular form, as well as the calculated average daytime and nighttime allowable City of Coppell
Drilling Noise Levels. Daytime allowable hourly average noise levels of 71.5 dBA and nighttime levels of
69.5 dBA have been established from our measurement results.
Noise Impact Potential
DRILLING: The typical primary noise sources generated by gas well drilling operations include the
drilling rig engines, compressors, generators, mud pumps, and ancillary support equipment. Drilling sound
levels vary from drill site to drill site depending on the type of drilling rig (top drive, rotary table, etc.) and
depending on the drilling rig orientation. An operational noise level survey using a Type 1 Bruel & Kjaer
2238 Mediator Sound Level Meter was completed for a typical drilling rig on September 26, 2007. The
operational average sound levels were measured and documented on all four sides of the drilling rig while
drilling. Operational noise levels on the generator side of the rig represent the highest sound level impact
potential at a distance. A layout of a typical drilling rig with measured operational sound levels is included
in the attachments of this report. The typical drilling rig will be using self-contained mud tanks at this site.
The daytime and nighttime drilling sound levels will be in compliance at this site without the installation of
temporary sound walls during gas well drilling operations.
Structures classified as Protected Use were not identified within a 1,000 foot radius of the
well site; therefore, continuous sound level monitoring will not be required. In the event that a complaint is
made by a Protected Use located within 1,000 feet from the gas well, the operator shall, within 24 hours of
notice of the complaint, continuously monitor for a 72-hour period at the source of the complaint. If the
measurements are higher than the allowable levels, the report will document the sound mitigation program
along with an implementation schedule to ensure compliance with the drilling noise level requirements.

FRACING: The high level noise generated by gas well fracing operations are produced from the truck
mounted engines which drive the high pressure pumps. Support equipment such as sand trucks, water pumps
and generators have a small contribution to the over-all noise levels of the operations. Off-site fracing noise
levels typically do not vary from operator to operator, but the off-site transmission of the noise can be
affected by the topography of the frac site. Typical Barnett Shale fracing operations have been measured to
establish anticipated noise level impacts at distances from the fracing site. The noise surveys were completed
with a Type 1 Bruel & Kjaer Model 2238 Sound Level Analyzer programmed to measure and document
maximum sound levels. Fracing operational sound levels were measured and documented on all four sides of
the fracing operation at flat, open sites. A graph indicating the measured fracing sound levels at distance is
included in the attachments of this report. The daytime and nighttime fracing sound levels will be in
compliance at this site without the installation of temporary sound walls during fracing operations.
GAS WELL PRODUCTION: Although a gas wellhead compressor is not planned for this gas well, the
noise impact generated by a typical 95 horse power wellhead compressor positioned on the pad was
evaluated. Chesapeake Energy has numerous wellhead gas compressors operating in the Barnett Shale. We
have completed a number of operational noise level surveys of these wellhead compressors and have
documented the highest measured unmitigated wellhead compressor noise levels, which are shown in the
graph indicating the measured wellhead compressor operational sound levels at distance. If a typical gas
wellhead compressor is utilized on this site, the daytime and nighttime production sound levels will be in
compliance at this site without the installation of sound walls during gas well production operations.
Very truly yours,
Donald Behrens

Background:
On September 14, 2010, Coppell City Council approved a proposal for services from RCC
Consultants for the purposes of determining the viability of transitioning into a combined
dispatch center for the consortium cities (Carrollton, Addison, Farmers Branch and Coppell).
After two RCC studies, the Consortium Cities decided to consider other options and consultants
for this study.
iXP Corporation is a Delaware company that specializes in privately operated Police and
Fire/911 Emergency Communications centers. iXP has successfully built and operated a
combined dispatch center for the cities of Sandy Springs, John’s Creek and Dunwoody, Georgia.
The Consortium Cities have decided to enter into an agreement with iXP for the purposes of
reviewing, evaluating and consider the possible integration of each cities 911 Dispatch services
into a combined, unified system and provide a cost/benefit analysis of combining those services.
The Cities agree that the Town of Addison will seek to enter into an agreement with iXP to
conduct the study with the total cost shared equally by the four Cites.
Costs:
Total cost of the services agreement with iXP is $174,750.00 with each city paying $43,687.50.
Total cost for the City of Coppell will be $43,687.50.
Staff Recommendation:
It is staff’s recommendation for the City Council to approve a proposal for services from iXP
Corporation for the Consortium Cities (Carrollton, Farmers Branch, Addison and Coppell), at a
proposed cost of $43,687.00 and authorizing the City Manager to sign.

(“Addison”) (Carrollton, Farmers Branch, Coppell, and Addison are hereinafter sometimes
referred to together as the “Cities” and individually as a “City”).
Recitals:
1. The Cities, which are neighboring home rule municipalities, provide public health
and safety services to their respective citizens and inhabitants, including police protection, fire
protection, and emergency medical services.
2. An emergency services dispatch system (the “System”) is integral to and a
necessary part of providing those public health and safety services, and without such a System
the public health and welfare could not be adequately provided for and protected. The Cities
desire to review, evaluate and consider the possible integration of their respective Systems into a
unified System to be used cooperatively by the Cities.
3. In order to accomplish this review and evaluation, the Cities desire that iXP
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“iXP”), conduct an initial study and make
recommendations regarding their respective Systems and the possible integration of those
Systems into a single, unified System for cooperative use by the Cities (the “System Study”). In
accordance therewith, the Cities agree that Addison will seek to enter into an agreement with iXP
to conduct the System Study, with the cost thereof to be shared equally by the Cities.
4. A copy of a proposal from iXP regarding the System Study, obtained by Addison,
is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein (the “iXP Proposal”), and a proposed
agreement entitled “iXP Consulting Services Agreement” between Addison and iXP to conduct
the System Study as described in the iXP Proposal is attached hereto as Exhibit B and
incorporated herein (the “iXP Agreement”). Addison has or intends to approve the iXP
Agreement, subject to and contingent upon, however, the approval and execution of this
Agreement by each of the other Cities.
5. The provision of police, fire and emergency medical services, and the
corresponding provision and operation of an emergency dispatch system that is essential to
providing those services, are governmental functions and services as set forth in Chapter 791,
Tex. Gov. Code (the “Interlocal Cooperation Act” or the “Act”). The Cities are authorized by
the Interlocal Cooperation Act to enter into an interlocal contract to study the feasibility of the
performance of a governmental function or service, or provide a governmental function or
service that each party to the contract is authorized to perform individually.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual benefits and obligations
set forth in this Agreement, the City of Carrollton, Texas, the City of Farmers Branch, Texas, the
City of Coppell, Texas, and the Town of Addison, Texas do hereby agree as follows:
Section 1. The above and foregoing Recitals are true and correct and are incorporated
into this Agreement and made a part hereof for all purposes.
