remedies for the collection of the abated tax provided generally in the Tax Code for the collection of

was received by Owner with respect to the Premises as determined by the Appraisal District,
multiplied by the tax rate of the years in question, as calculated by the City Tax Assessor-Collector.
The liquidated damages shall incur penalties as provided for delinquent taxes and shall commence

RE:
Mayor and City Council Members
Kenneth M. Griff'm, P.E., Dir. of Engineering/Public Works
December 12, 2000
Consider approval of a variance to Floodplain Management Ordinance No. 94-639
Article 4, Section C, paragraph 3 which requires offsetting valley storage for
development within the floodplain for the development of Townhouses of Coppeil, 48
acre site south of Sandy Lake Road and east of MacArthur B!vd., and the City's
existing 0.5 million gallon ground storage tank site on Sandy Lake Road.
Why a variance reouest? Because new floodplain maps to be adopted in 2001 will remove the
properties in question from the floodplain and eliminate the need for valley storage. Now, for the rest of
the stoW:
For some time now, the Engineering Department has been discussing floodplain issues with potential
developers of the proposed Townhouses of Coppoll and the 48-acre triangular tract of land immediately
east of the Townhouses of Coppell. Both properties lie generally near the southeast comer of MacArthur
and Sandy Lake (see exhibit). Our official Floodplain Map dated April 15, 1994 shows portions of both
properties within a 100~year floodplain, i.e. a Floodplain Management Area. For development within a
Floodplain Management Area, a Floodplain Development Permit is required per Article 4, Section C of
the Floodplain Management Ordinance. The definition of a Floodplain Management Area is "The
combination of all floodplain and regulatory floodways within the jurisdiction of the City, including
floodplain land that is not identified on Floodplain Hazard Boundary Maps or Flood Insurance Rate
Maps." Because portions of these properties are currently within a Floodplain Management Area, we
have had numerous meetings concerning how to satisfy paragraph 3 of Section C. Paragraph 3 basically
states that when you develop within a floodplain and are removing valley storage from the floodplain you
need to compensate for a portion of that loss.
During discussions with the developers, I informed them that I was interested in acquiring additional land
for a future pump station and Found storage tank generally to be located at our existing site. It was then
mutually agreed that the relocation of our site away from Sandy Lake could be a benefit. For the City it
would allow us to relocate off of a main entry into the City and get us closer to a 24" water line in
MacArthur Blvd. and for the developer of the 48 acres it would remove the obstruction of a pump station
and ground storage tank from the main entry point to their development. Because of the potential for a
land swap with the owner of the 48-acre tract of land, we also need to be included in this variance request.
Typically, I would not entertain any variances to the Floodplain Management Ordinance that resulted in
development that did not meet the slriet intent of the ordinance. However, in this particular case there is a
"CITY OF COPPELL ENGINEERING - EXCELLENCE BY DESIGN"
proposed revision to the floodplain maps that will remove the properties in question from the floodplain.
Once those properties are removed from the floodplain they no longer fall under the requirements of the
Floodplain Management Ordinance. Therefore, there would be no valley storage requirement because
there would technically be no reclamation required from the floodplain.
The new updated maps should become effective in mid-2001. The proposed revised maps were originally
provided to the City in October 1999. One aspect of a revision to a floodplain map is a ninety-day appeal
period. Notices were placed in the local paper on January 28, 2000 and February 4, 2000 concerning the
revisions to the floodplain map. During the 90-day appeal period, there were three appeals filed with the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). One appeal was from the US Army Corps of
Engineers, which provided additional information on an Upper Trinity River Study. A second appeal was
from Nathan Maier Engineering, Inc. concerning the impact of the revised floodplain maps on the
property owned by his client, Terry Holmes, on the north side of Sandy Lake at Denton Creek. The third
appeal was from the City of Carrollton.
On September 7, 2000, FEMA issued a letter stating that the appeals for our community had been
resolved. That letter started a thirty-day comment period after which FEMA would address any
comments and then resume the timeline for knplementing the revised map. The last step for FEMA in
implementing the revised floodplain map is the issuance of a Letter of Final Determination. The Letter of
Final Determination begins a six-month compliance period and establishes an effective date for the new
floodplain map. During the six-month compliance period, we will be revising our floodplain ordinance to
adopt the new floodplain map. In recent conversations with FEMA, it is my understanding that the Letter
of Final Determination could be issued at any time.
I go into great detail conceming the status of our floodplain maps in relationship to this request for a
variance to show that if the developer of the Townhouses of Coppell, the 48 acre tract of land and the City
were required to build extensive valley storage to offset reclamation from the floodplain, as defined on the
1994 map, that requirement would go away once the new maps are adopted. As is often said, timing is
everything. If there had been no appeals to the proposed map the new map would currently be in place
and there would be no requirement for valley storage or a variance request. Also, if no property were
currently proposing development, there would be no need for a variance request.
I am trying to apply a degree of common sense to this complicated issue. The new maps will be adopted
sometime in the year 2001 showing that the properties in question will not be within a designated
Floodplain Management Area. Therefore, I am recommending that the City grant a variance to Article 4,
Section C, paragraph 3 of the Floodplain Management Ordinance No. 94-639 to eliminate the need for
offsetting valley storage for the development of the Townhouses of Coppell, the 48 acre tract of land east
of the Townhouses of Coppell and the City's 2.5 acre tract of land that currently houses our 0.5 million
gallon ground storage tank.
The offsetting valley storage is a local amendment to the minimum National Floodplain requirements. So
while a variance might be granted to the requirement for valley storage all other aspects of the Floodplain
Ordinance still must be adhered to by the Townhouses of Coppell while the new maps are being adopted
to insure compliance with federal regulations.
Staff will be available to answer any questions at the Council meeting.

MEMORANDUM
FROM THE
DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING
To:
Mayor and City Council Members
From:
Kenneth M. Griff'm, P.E., Dir. of Engineering/Public Works
Date:
December 12, 2000
Consider approval of a Master Agreement covering Transportation and Major Capital
Improvement Projects between Dallas County and the City of Coppeli; and authorizing
the City Manager to sign.
In FY 2000, Dallas County replaced it traditional bond financing approach to funding infrastructure improvements
with a programmed Major Capital Improvement Program. Under the old bond financing method all projects were
authorized at the same time and were' constructed generally at the same time. With the Major Capital Improvement
Projects, Dallas County has implemented a "pay as you go" program for participating and constructing street projects
with local entities.
To be eligible for funding, projects have to be roadways shown on a Regional Thoroughfare Plan as published by the
North Central Texas Council of Governments. If a project met that criteria, then it was evaluated based on its speed
delay rating, traffic volume rating, traffic volume growth rating, Waffle desire rating, benefit cost ratio rating, accident
rate rating, air quality and energy conservation rating, sustainable development/redevelopmentJsmart growth rating,
intermodel/multi-model/social mobility rating, and a local cost participation multiplier. In reviewing upcoming
projects of which the City anticipates constructing it was noted that West Sandy Lake from Denton Tap to S.H. 121
met the criteria to be considered for partial funding by Dallas County. Therefore, in March 2000 the Engineering
Department submitted Sandy Lake Road to Dallas County for consideration of partial funding. In October 2000, I
attended a joint Dallas County meeting with most surrounding cities to discuss the Major Capital Improvement
Program and the final selection of the projects for funding. At that meeting, information was provided to show that
Sandy Lake Road from Denton Tap to S.H. 121 had received funding from Dallas County in the amount of
$I,300,000 for the year 2006. The 2006 time line is a little beyond our anticipated start of construction in the year
2005; however, given the intricacies of the design of West Sandy Lake Road it is entirely possible that the project
would not even be ready to go to construction until later than 2005. Council may note that on the agenda this evening
there is also an item to approve the design contract for West Sandy Lake Road and that agenda item lists numerous
issues that will be associated with the design.
Notwithstanding the timing of the 1.3 million dollars in year 2006, it is important to note that Dallas County has
approved the project for partial funding and as such Dallas County has requested that we enter into a Master
Agreement concerning the project. The Master Agreement generally lays out County and City responsibilities.
However, once we are closer to the actual construction, there will be a Supplemental Agreement between Dallas
County and the City of Coppell to specifically state each party's responsibilities and the funding by each party. The
Master Agreement is only the first step in the process to obtain partial County funding for West Sandy Lake Road
from Denton Tap to S.H. 121.
With this agenda item I have provided a copy of the Master Agreement, a copy of our application from March 2000,
and a copy of a handout from my October 2000 meeting with the Sandy Lake Road project highlighted. Staff
recommends approval of the Master Agreement between Dallas County and the City of Coppell and will be
available to answer any questions at the Council meeting.

Description of Proposed Improvement(s):
This proposed project is aimed at improving a thoroughfare that serves a considerable volume of traffic today but will likely serve
more regional traffic when it is improved and widened. Sandy Lake Road links Coppell to SH 121 and the Grapevine Mills
Development Corridor on the west and Carrollton on the east. it will juncture at SH121 with a diamond interchange in the future
that will facilitate additional development in the area. This project will be an extension of a current construction project to improve
and widen Sandy Lake Road east of Denton Tap Road.
Existing Sandy Lake Road conditions can be described as a typical rural two-lane asphalt mad, approximately 20' wide, with
drainage ditches on both sides of the street. Sandy Lake Road serves Coppell School Bus Routes and is currently the main exit
point for buses leaving Coppell High School. Sandy Lake Road also serves as an alternate mute during times of freeway
incidents on IH-635 and SH 121.
The proposed project would widen Sandy Lake Road to a four-lane divided thoroughfare with curb-and gutter and underground
drainage system. The design standard will be full-depth reinforced 3000 psi concrete paving on 6' lime-stabilized subgrade. The
subgrade stabilization method will be re-examined during design as soil types vary within the City Limits. Intersection
improvements as part of this project will result in left- and right-turn lanes where appropriate and other innovative treatments to
limit intersection delay and improve safety. Concrete 5'-wide sidewalks will be included on both sides of the street to facilitate foot
traffic, Another element planned with this project will be an on-street bike route that is designated as a link of the DaI-Homa
veloweb.
It is important to note that City staff intends to manage this project and provide inspection services. The City will acquire the
necessary right-of-way for the project and contract directly with a consultant to design the project. The design process should
begin in the next year, with right-of-way to begin at the appropriate stage of design. Hence, if and when County funds are
available to the City they would be dedicated solely to construction activities.

MEMORANDUM
FROM THE
DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING
To:
Mayor and City Counc~ Members
From:
Michael A. Martin, P.E., Asst. City Engineer
Date:
December 12, 2000
RE,'
Consider approval of Change Order #5 to the Coppell Road Project #ST 98-01 for the
installation of approximately 236 additional sprinkler heads to the irrigation system to
accommodate the ten foot Hike and Bike Trail in the amount of $41,964.00 to Ed Bell
Construction Company; and authorizing the City Manager to sign.
Ed Bell Construction Company is in the final stages of completing the reconstruction of Coppell Road.
All utilities and concrete paving for the roadway and Hike and Bike Trail have been installed. Major
items that need to be completed by the contractor are the installation of the guardrails, reestablishing the
irrigation systems along the east side of Coppell Road and the placement of sod.
It has been brought to the City's attention by the contractor that the estimated 20 sprinkler heads indicated
in the contract document need to be increased to approximately 236 sprinkler heads. The increase has
been brought about due to the construction of the roadway, the installation of the 10-foot Hike and Bike
Trail and sidewalks, When the project was bid it was unclear how much of the existing irrigation system
would be affected. There were no available irrigation plans in the Engineering Department showing the
location of the underground irrigation systems. As the project progressed, it became evident that all five
irrigation systems along the east side of Coppell Road would be affected by the construction.
Because the number of sprinkler heads increased from 20 to approximately 236, staff asked the contractor
to revise its cost per sprinkler head. Currently, the contract has a bid price of $250 per sprinkler head at a
total cost of $5,000. If the same bid price was used for the additional sprinkler heads, the total cost to
adjust the heads would total $59,000. The contractor has agreed to revise his bid price to a total lump sum
cost of $46,964. This amount breaks down to a cost of approximately $199 per sprinkler head, a cost
difference of $51 per sprinkler head. In reality, adjusting the sprinkler heads means: installing new
irrigation lines, sprinkler heads, wiring, and valves; repairing damaged controllers; designing a parallel
system to irrigate on both sides of the sidewalk and Hike and Bike Trail; and any other incidentals
necessary to ensure all systems are fully functional at the completion of the project.
Providing a lump sum price for all the irrigation systems on the east side of Coppell Road ensures that the
contractor will be responsible for making sure all the irrigation systems are working at the completion of
the project.
Staff recommends approval of Change Order #5 and will be available to answer any questions at the
Council meeting.

Dear Mr. Martin:
In response to your request for revised pricing for the sprinkler head adjustment pay item, we have been concerned
about the open ended nature of the bid item and the additional risk assumed by EBCC if we lower our price per
head. The pay item description defines the project limits for which EBCC must ensure that all sprinkler systems are
fully functional. The pay item also states that EBCC is responsible for all work necessary to ensure that all sprinkler
systems within the defined limits are fully functional and that all costs associated with ensuring that the sprinkler
systems are ~il ll v functioual must be incorporated into the sprinkler head adjustment pay item. With a quantity of
only twenty heads set up in th contract, it was our belief that the work would prinmrily involve investigating the
location of the heads, capping sprinkler leads at the ROW, and extending those leads into the ROW after completion
of the paving.
Based upon the investigations completed to date and evaluations conducted by our irrigator, it is our belief that 236
heads will be required and the majority of the problems with the existing systems have been identified. Within the
defined project limits, EBCC has encountered five separate sprinkler systems that had to be completely removed
and replaced within the City's ROW. These systems are spread out over 3500 LF of the project and will require
valve work. xviring, new water line, and new heads. Our lump sum price for this work is $46,964.
As stated previously, EBCC has removed the sprinkler systems and and is currently in the process of replacing the
systems. Wc arc proceeding with the work necessary to complete this project and the sprinkler work that must be
completed prior to completion of the parkway. The work in question is within the scope of work defined by the
sprinkler head adjustment pay item and must be completed prior to completion of the parkway. If it is the City's
intent to not pay for this work or to remove ..'ids work from EBCC's cona'act, then please direct EBCC to stop work
on this item. ['lease note that EBCC has already incurred costs associated ~vith this bid item and would expect to be
compensated li,' those costs should the City elect to remove this item from the contract
If you have any questions regarding this information, don't hesitate to contact our office.
S' cerely.

SUBJECT: epixtech In~ Contract 12/12/2000 Council Agenda
This contract allows for the city to enter into a contract with epixtech, Inc. (QISV
1-87-040-2421-700) to upgrade its DYNIX, character-based, L~rary Management
System, to its Horizon, client-server, Sybase relational database system with a full
Graphical User Interface (GUT). The contract provides for purchase,
implementation, training, data conversion/cleanup, first-year hardware
maintenance and upgrades of the system. The contract also provides the hardware
and software for a 50-seat Desktop Management System to manage the h'brary' s
microcomputers via MicrosoR' s SMS (Systems Management Server) and a sub-
license to use the Sybase software.
The library' s current UNISYS 6000 platform will no longer be supported by
epixtech after June 30, 2001. Upgrading to Horizon provides for greater
functionality and ease of citizen use, as we will be moving from a character-based
system to one that fully utilizes Web technology. The Horizon upgrade also
provides the infrastructure for remote citizen anthentication. Remote
authentication is the first step in providing citizens access to remote databases via
the library in a 24 hour per day, 7 day a week environment. Citizens Want to
access electronic collections when the facility is closed.
Horizon also provides increased functionality for the library' s remote web-based
catalog, allowing citizens to place holds, check availability, renew materials, etc.,
from their homes or their offices via the world-wide-web. Horizon has an
automated telephone access system that allows citizens to check their records,
renew books, and cancel holds from any touch-tone phone, 24 hours per day.
This contract provides for the server hardware, software, upgrades, and first-year
hardware maintenance. Clients (microcomputers) are not included in this
contract.

the utilization of the Services.
Under normal operating conditions, the Grantee shall perform standard installations as
defined above within seven (7) business days of request by a Subscriber (provided that
the schedule or preferences of the person requesting installation have not been
responsible for the delay). This section does not apply to the introduction of new products
and services when Grantee is utilizing a phased introduction.
Service Interruptions and Other Service Problems
The Grantee shall make repairs promptly, and interrupt Service only if necessary and for
the shortest period possible.
The Grantee shall promptly notify the City of any "Significant Service Interruption" in
the operation of the System. For the purposes of this section, a "Significant Service
Interruption in the operation of the System "shall mean any outage a duration of at least
four (4) continuous hours between the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and eight (8)
continuous hours between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. to at least 3,000 of the
Subscribers in the area served by Grantee.
The Grantee shall exercise its best efforts to limit any Significant Service Interruption for
the purpose of maintaining, repairing, or construction of the System. Except in an
emergency or other situation necessitating a more expedited or alternative notification
procedure, the Grantee may schedule a Significant Service Interruption only after the
City has been given reasonable prior notice of the proposed interruption.
Technicians employed by the Grantee and capable of performing service-related
emergency repairs and maintenance must be available twenty-four (24) hours a day,
including weekends and holidays.
Under normal operating conditions, service-related Subscriber complaints, if possible,
must be resolved within forty-eight (48) hours (provided that the schedule or preferences

event, resolution must occur within one (1) week. A complaint shall be considered to be
resolved when signals received by the subscriber have been brought into compliance with
applicable FCC standards. Those matters requiring additional maintenance, repair, or
technical adjustments that necessitate an excess of one (1) week to reasonably complete,
must be finally resolved, if technically feasible, within thirty (30) days of the initial
complaint if the complaint has been determined to be the fault of the Grantee. The City
Manager may require reasonable documentation to be provided by the Grantee to
substantiate the additional time to resolve a complaint. The foregoing does not apply to
service interruptions which occur on an intermittent basis.
Under normal operating conditions, upon request by the Subscriber, the Grantee shall
provide a credit to Subscriber when there is an Outage of all channels for a period of
twenty-four (24) consecutive hours or more which affects the discrete definable service
area. The credit for such an Outage shall equal, at a minimum, the value of one-thirtieth
(1/30) of Subscriber's current monthly bill, excluding premium, pay-per-view and special
events, for the first twenty-four (24) consecutive-hour period and prorated for each
additional 4-hour period or portion thereof that the Outage continues.
Under normal operating conditions, upon request by the Subscriber, the Grantee shall
provide a credit to Subscriber when there is an Outage of any premium Service for a
period of twenty-four (24) consecutive hours or more which affects a discrete, definable
service area. The credit shall equal, at a minimum, the value of one-thirtieth (1/30) of
Subscribers current monthly bill, for affected premium services, for the first twenty-four
(24) consecutive-hour period and prorated for each additional (4) hour period or portion
thereof that the Outage continues.
Under normal operating conditions, upon request of the Subscriber, the Grantee shall
provide a credit to the Subscriber whenever an Outage for a period of twenty-
four (24) consecutive hours or more has affected fewer than all of the non-premium
channels received by the affected Subscriber as part of their Service. The credit shall
equal the value of one-thirtieth (1/30) of the prorated portion of the rate per affected
channel times the number of affected channels.
Installation and Service Appointments
The "appointment window" alternatives for installations and service calls which require
Subscriber presence, will be either a specific time or, at maximum, a four-hour scheduled
time block during normal business hours. The schedule time block may be longer if the
Subscriber consents. (The Grantee may schedule service calls and other installation
activities outside of normal business hours for the express convenience of the Customer).
This provision does not apply to disconnects, service upgrades or downgrades which do
not require access to the Subscriber's premises or to special request orders.
Under normal operating conditions, if the Grantee does not arrive for installations or
service calls by appointment within the scheduled four-hour time frame agreed to by the
Subscriber, the Subscriber may request and is entitled to receive a free standard
installation, or $20.00 credit respectively. If the Grantee fails to provide such free
standard installation, and the request was made by the Subscriber within thirty (30) days
of the missed appointment, the City may direct the Grantee to issue the credit. Failure to
comply with the City's directive will subject Grantee to appropriate enforcement actions.
Under Normal Operating Conditions, the Grantee may not cancel an appointment with a
Subscriber after the close of business on the business day prior to the scheduled
appointment without the Subscriber's consent.
If the Grantee's representative is running late for an appointment with a Subscriber and
will not be able to keep the appointment as scheduled, the Grantee will make an effort to
contact the Subscriber directly. If, however, the Subscriber is unavailable at the time the
contact attempt is made, the Grantee will attempt a second contact at least one more time
during the previously agreed upon appointment window. The appointment will be
rescheduled, as necessary, at a time which is convenient to the Subscriber. Contacting
the Subscriber will not necessarily negate the requirement for a flee standard installation.

charges (excluding temporary marketing and sales discounts or offers) and/or any
changes in programming services (including the scrambling or descrambling of channels
- except the descrambling of a channel(s) for promotional purposes).

MEMORANDUM
FROM THE
DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING
Mayor and City Council Members
From:
Kenneth M. Grifl'm, P.E., Dir. of Engineering/Public Works
Date:
December 12, 2000
Consider approval of entering into a contract with Teague, Nail and Perkins, Inc. for
the design of West Sandy Lake Road from Denton Tap to S.H. 121 in an amount not
to exceed $1,005,600.00; and authorizing the City Manager to sign.
In November 1999, Coppell voters approved a Bond Program, which included the construction of several
roadways within the City of Coppell. Over the last few months, staff has been meeting with various
engineering fn'ms conceming design contracts for not only West Sandy Lake Road, but also Coppell Road
from Sandy Lake to Bethel Road and Bethel Road from the west city limits to Freeport Parkway. We
have fmalized the engineering contract between the City of Coppell and Teague, Nail and Perkins, Inc. for
the design of West Sandy Lake Road. Bethel Road and Coppell Road design contracts should come
before Council in January 2001.
Based on our experience with the current Sandy Lake Road project, several items were identified in
Attachment B, Project Scope to help head off some of the problems we have experienced on the
construction of the current Sandy Lake Road project.
1. Item 10 of Attachment B is a tree survey of all trees within or immediately adjacent to the existing
and/or future right-of-way prepared in accordance with the City's Tree Ordinance. The construction of
West Sandy Lake Road will change the look of Sandy Lake Road with the removal of numerous mature
trees along the roadway. Therefore, we have asked the consultant to do a tree survey so that we can make
better decisions on the front end of the design to mitigate the loss of trees during construction.
2. Paragraph 11 was added to reinforce that there should be several alternatives presented to work around
existing trees and to work around existing TXU overhead transmission lines which are located on the
south side of West Sandy Lake Road generally from Denton Tap to north Coppell Road.
3. Paragraph 12 was added to insure that the bridge improvements over Cottonwood Creek generally
between Coppell Road south and Coppell Road north will have bridge railings similar to the recently
constructed portion of Denton Tap Road.
4. Paragraph 13 was added to Include the design of the conduit and foundation for street lights.
5. Paragraph 17 was added to ensure any retaining walls would be constructed as either a stacked block
retaining wall, similar to what was recently constructed on the north side of Town Center Drive or some
type of concrete retaining wall with stamped texture and/or color added for aesthetic enhancement.
"CITY OF COPPELL ENGINEERING - EXCELLENCE BY DESIGN"
6. Paragraphs 24 and 25 was added to clearly lay out responsibility for existing irrigation systems within
the project scope and to insure that new irrigation systems are provided for any proposed median areas.
7. Paragraph 26F was added to ensure that the design would include pavers in the narrow median areas
generally associated with left turn lanes. Currently, we only provide pavers in the median noses, which
creates a thin median that has to be irrigated and maintained by the Leisure Services Department.
8. Paragraph 28 was added to ensure that a traffic control plan would be generated for each phase of the
construction. This should ensure that we have a better understanding of what side streets could be closed
for prolonged periods of times to allow for the construction. This information would be provided to the
bidders on the project. This should equate to a less expensive construction price.
An item added to the design of Sandy Lake is the design of the remainder of Royal Lane. Currently,
Royal Lane has a section immediately south of Sandy Lake where only one-half of the roadway is
constructed. We have asked the consultant to include the design of the leave out section in his design of
Sandy Lake Road and a determination can be made at some point in the future as to whether or not we
will include the construction of the west half of Royal Lane with the construction of Sandy Lake Road.
In reviewing the route of Sandy Lake Road it is quite obvious that there will be numerous problems
associated with the section from Denton Tap to north Coppell Road, namely tree removal, TXU
transmission lines on the south side and fight-of-my acquisition. Taking that into consideration, we have
asked the consultant to design the project as a single project but prepare construction plans in two phases.
Phase One would be ~:om S.H. 121 to approximately State Road. Phase Two would be from State Road
to approximately Denton Tap Road. Our thoughts are that phasing the project would allow us an
oppommity to construct the west end of Sandy Lake Road on an earlier time frame. The west end
provides commercial traffic to the Freeport North area and will also allow traffic to access State Road to
the newly proposed Freeport connection toward Bethel Road.
During my review of West Sandy Lake Road for inclusion in the Bond Program, I estimated that the
engineering design cost would be one million dollars. Therefore, the total fee of $1,005,600.00 is in line
with my expectations. Also, the $1,005,600.00 fee includes the design of a portion of Royal Lane.
The finn of Teague, Nail and Perkins, Inc. has previously worked for the City of Coppell. They were the
design engineers on Wrangler Drive from Belt Line Road to Freeport Parkway. While the construction of
Wrangler Drive encountered many difficulties, especially with utility conflicts during construction, the
fu'rn of Teague, Nail and Perkins, Inc. was always available to help resolve issues and stayed with the
project throughout construction helping the City to resolve several liquidated damage issues.
Staff recommends approval of entering into a contract with Teague, Nail & Perkins, Inc for the design
of West Sandy Lake Road in an amount not to exceed $1,005,600.00 and authorizing the City Manager
to sign. Staff will be available to answer any questions at the Council meeting.

Pkwy. to S.H. 121, with a dividing median where possible to create a
boulevard street section.
The project will include the design of improved storm drainage facilities
along the roadway, based upon City's standard requirements and criteria.
The design of water and sanitary sewer improvements will be limited to
adjustments in the vertical and/or horizontal alignment of the existing lines
at isolated locations along the project. No new water or sanitary sewer
lines will be designed and installed as part of this project.
An Environmental Assessment and/or Report is not anticipated and will,
therefore, not be required for this project.
5. Geotechnical investigations will be performed for the project to include:
Subsurface explorations (up to 21 bodngs);
Laboratory testing on soil samples; and
Engineering report to present the results of the field and laboratory
data, together with an analysis of the results and recommendations
for earthwork, bridge foundations, pavement subgrade, pavement
thickness and design, and pavement construction.
The west limits of the project, near S..H. 121, will be established through
coordination with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). No
improvements are anticipated within the TxDOT right-of-way for S.H. 1
with the exception of possible transition paving.
The project will be designed with a minimum right-of-way width of ninety
(90) feet from Denton-Tap Road to State Rd./Freeport Pkwy. and one
hundred-ten (110) feet from State Rd./Freeport Pkwy. to S.H. 121,
Additional right-of-way will also be needed at major intersections. Right-

HISTORY:
On October 10, 2000, City Council approved a Preliminary Hat and
zoning change from Light Industrial to PD-189 to allow the
development of an indoor basketball/recreation facility on 17.063
acres.
As approved by City Council on October 10, 2000, the proposed site
plan removed 89T of protected trees. In accordance with the zoning
ordinance, only 50% landscape credit cotrid be given due to the
removal of 100% of the existing trees. The landscape credit
accounted for 446' of removed trees; requiring monetary reparation
of $100 per caliper inch for the remaining 446" of removed trees. As
indicated by the owner/developer, the tree mitigation dramatically
impacted the anticipated cost of the project.
Item# 4
TRANSPORTATION:
East Belt Line Road is proposed to be a P6D, six- lane divided major
thoroughfare built within a 120' wide right-of-way. Consauction is
scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter this year.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- Railroad, Creekview Addition; "SF-9-PD"
South - North Lake, City of Dallas
East - TXU Electric & Gas Right-of-Way, vacant; "LF' Light Industrial
West - Vacant, Shake & Shingle; "LF' Light Industrial
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
light industdagshowroom uses
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this request is to revise the property line between Lots 1 & 2
of Block A of the Hooptown Development. The property line between Lots 1
& 2, as shown on the approved plan, is a straight line extending from the
front to the rear property lines (See attached Approved PD Plan). Due to
extensive tree mitigation costs associated with the development of Lot 1, the
applicant proposes to extend the land area of Lot 1 further west to include
additional trees that were previously located off-site. The revision will
transfer .70 of an acre from Lot 2 to Lot 1. Lot 1 will be enlarged to 17.761
acres and Lot 2 will be decreased to 9.302 acres.
It is staffs intention to maintain a traditionally shaped Lot 2, while
providing a natural buffer along the rear of the property. The applicant has
worked with staff to create an acceptable solution to the re-design of the
shared property line between Lots 1 and 2. While staff does not encourage
the intentional design of non-traditional lots to reduce tree mitigation
costs, the extension of Lot 1 behind Lot 2 will provide a perpetual natural
landscape buffer between the residential properties to the north and any
future uses on Lot 2. Therefore, although somewhat unusual in shape, in
this particular case, staff can support the request to revise the property
areas.
On October 14, 2000, a brush fire occurred on the subject property,
destroying a significant number of trees; many which were to be
preserved. The attached tree survey reflects the damage caused by the
fire. The additional land area for Lot 1, coupled with provision of
additional trees to be planted around the building, brings the number of
preserved trees to an adequate level, equalizing the tree mitigation costs.
Item# 4
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the proposed amendment, subject to the following
condition:
1 ) Revise inconsistencies among lot areas shown on plan sheets.

On October 10, 2000, City Council approved a Preliminary Plat for
approximately 27 acres and a zoning change from Light Industrial
to PD-189 to allow the development of an indoor
baskethall/recreation facility on approximately 17 acres.
East Belt Line Road is proposed to be a P6D, six- lane divided major
thoroughfare built within a 120' wide right-of-way. Construction is
scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter this year.

West - Vacant, Shake & Shingle; "LF' Light Industdal
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
light industdal/showroom uses
DISCUSSION:
As mentioned above, this property recently received
Preliminary Plat and Planned Development approval by
City Council on October 10, 2000, for the development of a
basketball/recreation facility. Because the approved
preliminary plat was not recorded, the current request is
again a request for preliminary plat approval. The purpose
of this application is to revise the property line between
Lots 1 & 2 of Block A of the Hooptom Development. As
mentioned in the corresponding staff report for the revision
to PD-189, the applicant is requesting this change in order
to alleviate the monetary reparations required for extensive
on-site tree removal. As a result of the property line
reconfiguration, Lot 1 will be extended further to the west
to include additional preserved trees and will contain
approximately 17.761 acres. Lot 2 will be slightly reduced
to approximately 9.302 acres.
All required setbacks and easements associated with the
property line revision have been modified accordingly.
Staff has recommended that the applicant revise the plat to
include the required franchise utility signature block, which
must be addressed prior to City Council review.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the revision to the Preliminary Plat, subject to the
following condition:
1)
Provide franchise utilities signature block for TXU Electric & Gas, Paragon Cable,
and Verizon/GTE.

HISTORY:
This property was originally zoned PD for a Recreation Center. In
1989, 115 acres was rezoned to PD 108 for Light industrial Uses,
known as the Springs of Coppell. This property was owned by the
Baptist Foundation at that time and their Concept Plan indicated a
proposed university site east of Grapevine Creek. To the west of
Grapevine Creek was a proposed park. The balance of the PD was
envisioned for light industrial/tech uses, with commercial and
offices proposed along Denton Tap Road. In 1995, this PD was
amended to allow for 46 single family lots (SF-9) on approximately
30 acres located 500-~_ feet west of Denton Tap Road, south of
Bethel Road, and known as the Summit at the Springs. In 1998,
this PD was amended to allow for the Reserve, a twenty-three lot
subdivision On 9.7 acres of land located to the west of the Springs.
Finally, in 1998 a request to rezone a 37 acre tract (which includes
Item # 7
TRANSPORTATION:
the proposed Service Center site) from PD-LI and R to PD SF-9
for 102 single family lots was denied by the City Council. This 37
acre tract was subsequently sold to the City for future use.
Coppell Road is shown on the thoroughfare plan as a C2U
Collector Street (38 feet of paving, within a 60' right-of-way), but
currently exists as two lane asphalt road, within 60' of right-of-
way. The proposed driveway to this site will align with existing
Burns Street (60' R.O.W.) on the west side of Coppell Road.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- undeveloped land; PD 108-LI
South - DART R.O.W. and commercial uses; C and LI
East - undeveloped land; PD 108-LI
West - City Animal Shelter and undeveloped land; PD 108-LI
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
Public/Institutional uses, based upon the Land Use Plan
amendments adopted by the City Council on June 13, 2000.
DISCUSSION:
This request is to amend the PD to attach a detail plan for a
municipal service center under the existing Light Industrial
zoning. This service center is proposed to be located 300
feet east of Coppell Road, allowing for retail and related
uses to be developed along this street frontage. The 25 foot
driveway from Coppell Road will be located within a 100
foot wide "leg", which will be landscaped with Pecan Trees
and grass.
On November 14, 2000 the City Council will be briefed on
the possible of the existing Historic Overlay District as
recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
These expanded boundaries will encompass the frontage
along both sides of Coppell Road, and be extended to the
east, to include the subject property and Grapevine Springs
Park. Therefore, this service center and the property
fronting on Coppell Road could potentially be regulated
under the Historic Overlay District Regulations.
The development of the property along the frontage of
Coppell Road will obscure the view of the service center
from the remainder of the Historic District. The smaller
scale, retail related uses and a possible train depot along the
Coppell Road frontage will lend themselves to the Historic
District architecture.
Item # 7
SITE PLAN
This main structure is proposed to be a 15,626 square foot
building which will contain offices for the Leisure Services
and Public Works Departments. The eastern portion (rear)
of the building will contain service bays and parts storage
areas. One hundred and fourteen parking spaces are being
provided, all but 16 are in front of the building. Other
structures on this site 'will house the signal and meter shops
and associated storage, vehicle and chemical storage
buildings and less than 10 percent of the site will be
devoted to outside storage of equipment and vehicles.
A concrete fire lane will encircle the site, however, the
remaining paved surface is proposed to be asphalt.
Perimeter screening on the north, east and south sides are
proposed to be an 8-foot high, chain link fence, with
landscaping. The screening parallel to Coppell Road will
be an extension of the two-tone tilt wall panels to match
the main building. A 60 square foot sign is proposed to
be located at the entry to the service center area, again
utilizing the same color and materials as the main
structure.
LANDSCAPE PLAN
The required perimeter landscaping is provided along all
property lines. The requirement for one tree per 50 linear
feet is being exceeded in most areas. Per Section 33-1.5 of
the Zoning Ordinance, solid screening walls are required
adjacent to the areas proposed for outside storage. In lieu
of a solid masonry screening a living screen is proposed
and can be approved through the public hearing process.
The Landscape Plan indicates Austrian Pines planted 10
feet on center. These pine trees will provide an adequate
visual screen in that they grow to a height of 25 to 40 feet,
and 15 to 20 feet wide. However, planting them 20 feet
on center (versus 10 feet on center) would be more
desirable. This will reduce the tree count along the east
property line from 50 to 25 trees, 31 to 15 trees along the
north property line, and 10 to 5 along the south property
line. Reducing the total number of Austrian pines from
91 to 45 trees will still provide an adequate visual
screening devise as they reach maturity.
Approximately one acre of non-vehicular landscaping is
required. This requirement is being ful~lled in front of the
Item # 7
main building adjacent to the driveway as well as north
and south of the parking areas. The parking lot
landscaping is also being achieved though a combination
of parking lot islands and landscaped areas adjacent to the
pedestrian walkways. Purple Fountain Grass is being
proposed north and south of the main structure to screen
the parking areas.
ELEVATIONS
The exterior of the main buiMing will be tilt wall with
two-toned "dryvit' as an over coating. The lower
portions will be a light brown color, and the upper
portions will be a cream color. The roof will be asphalt
shingles, with a blue-green fiberglass wall panel system as
an architectural accent as well as to provide natural
lighting in the shop/bay area. An alternative roofing
material is a gray, standing seam metal roof. The north
and south elevations will also contain the overhead doors
to access the service bay area. The overhead door material
is specified as galvanized mill finished coiling door.
The Chemical Storage Building and Parts Storage
Buildings will use the same building and roof materials as
the main structure, with chain link security fencing and
gates. The Vehicle/Equipment Storage Building is
generally an open air building with walls primarily of
chain link, with chain link gates. The roof is proposed as
asphalt shingle.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of the amendment to
PD 108 LI to allow for the development of the service
center subject to:
1. The site plan, landscape plan, floor plans and elevations
shall be attached to and made a part of the PD
Ordinance.
2. City Council approval of a living screen in lieu of a
masonry wall adjacent to outside storage areas.
3. The construction of the building shall be in accordance
with the materials specified on the submitted color
boards.
4. Asphalt paving shall be permitted, except for the fire
lanes which shall be concrete.
Item # 7
The number of Austrian Pines being planted 20 feet on
center verses 10 feet, reducing the total number of
Austrian Pine trees from 91 to 45.

Them is a long history on this parcel that began when it was platted
in June of 1998. The Board of Adjustment granted a special
exception and allowed a total 116 parking spaces to serve this
athletic facility. Shortly after Board action, construction began on
what was then known as the North Texas Gynmastics facility, and
over the next two years intermittent construction proceeded on site.
There were several interruptions in building progress and for many
months there was no construction at all. The City became concemed
with the facility, and in the summer of 2000 started condemnation
proceedings to have the building demolished. During these
proceedings we were advised that the building had been sold, the
Item# 9
TRANSPORTATION:
new owner was interested in completing the structure, and an
application to renew the site plan was submitted.
On August 17, 2000 the Planning Commission recommended
approval of the resubmission of the previously approved site plan.
On September 12th the City Council followed the recommendation
of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
On October 10, 2000 the City Council followed the recommendation
of the Planning and Zoning Commission and approved a revision to
the site plan for this property. This amendment included revisions to
the floor plan, signage, elevations and landscaping.
Denton Tap Road is a P6D, six-lane divided concrete roadway built
to standard in a 11 O-foot right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- developing retail center; "C", PD 178
South - Albertson's center; "C" Commercial
East - restaurant and grocery store; "TC" Town Center
West - single family; SF-12
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
neighborhood retail.
DISCUSSION:
As discussed above, the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City
Council re-approved the site plan and landscape plan for this property to
allow completion of construction of this facility. In October, revisions to
the floor plan, elevations, signage and landscape plan were approved. This
application is to allow for additional parking and minor modifications to the
Landscape Plan.
The applicant has acquired an additional 0.7+ acre tract east of the existing
property line and is proposing 48 additional parking spaces on this tract of
land. In addition, 40 parking spaces are being planned along the west
property line, behind the building. The new parking lot will be served by
one driveway that will allow for westbound movements (right turns) only.
The width of each side of this one way driveway must be noted on the site
plan. A raised median is proposed to be placed within the right-of-way to
funnel the traffic. Given that this will be in the public right-of- way, an
easement for this median must be indicated on the plat.
The monument sign has, once again, been relocated. The Staff
recommended on the previous request, that the monument sign be relocated
from the out lot to the main lot. On the initial application for this submittal,
Item # 9
the sign was located on the expanded parking lot area. However, this
location was in conflict with Section 29-4.2(B)i, of the Zoning Ordinance
which requires that a monument sign be set back 75 feet from abutting
property lines. Therefore, this revised site plan, again, shows the sign on
the out lot. The Board of Adjustment will need to consider a variance to
allow for the sign in this location.
REVISIONS TO THE LANDSCAPE PLAN
The landscape plan has been revised to: accommodate additional parking
along the west property line; provide additional landscaping to screen the
ground mounted mechanical equipment along the southem portion of the
building; and to landscape the new parking lot area. Specifically, tree
islands have been added every 10 spaces to break up the additional 40
parking spaces along the west property line. Along the southem portion of
the site Red Oaks have been replaced by Live Oaks. Three of the Live Oaks
have been located in close proximity to the mechanical equipmere area
which is further screened by Nellie R. Stevens planted 48" on center, at a
height of 4 feet.
While the landscaping being provided appears to generally be in accordance
with the Ordinance, there are conflicts in the number of trees being provided
as indicted on the Plant List and the Landscape Tabulations. There are also
slight errors in the calculations of perimeter areas along the south and east
property lines.
The Landscape Plan for the additional parking area indicates that there are
six trees to be preserved, with a total of 191 caliper inches. Staff requested a
tree survey of this additional area, with a Mitigation Plan indicating the trees
to be removed and preserved. The revised landscape plan includes a
Mitigation Plan, however, the Mitigation Plan can not be verified without a
tree survey.
REPLAT
The purpose of this plat is to incorporate an unplatted 0.699 acre tract of
land in to Lot 2 Block A of the Denton Tap Addition. Additional drainage
easement is being provided along the north property line. An existing water
easement is indicated, however, the recording information needs to be added
to the face of the plat. The median in the proposed one-way driveway also
needs to be provided within an easement. Finally, TXU has commented
that additional easements are needed on the plat.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL subject to the following conditions:

less than five (5) parking spaces. However, on November 14, 20tj0 the City
Council will consider an amendment to this ordinance, which will eliminate the
"less than 5 parking space" requirement.
Landscape Plan
1. A complete Tree Survey of the Additional Lot Area is required. Retained trees
may be eligible for credit towards landscaping provided.
2. Rectify the difference in the site area on the plat and the site area on the landscape
plan.
3. Need to add dimensions along property lines.
4. Perimeter Landscaping:
· Verify the width of the landscaping along west property line to be 10 feet, it
scales 9 feet.
· Landscape Tabulations table is in error.
· The linear footage of the east and south boundaries do no match the Re-
plat, even with deducting the widths of the driveways.
· In the first section of the Table, the sum of the "Provided" column, is
17,143 not 18,304.
Page 1 of 2
· The linear footage used to calculate the perimeter trees required are also in
conflict with the linear footage stated above (16,888). The number of
trees may need to be adjusted depending on the correct linear footage.
· The in the Summary, the Perimeter landscaping (required and provided) is
stated as 13,611.
Please rectify the differences in the perimeter landscape calculations.
· Note that per Section 34-1-8 (C) 4. of the Zoning Ordinance, states that
when a masonry wall is required then no additional landscaping is
required; however, sufficient landscaping shall be provided within a
required perimeter landscape area to provide concealment of wall
foundations and to satisfy tree requirements.
Parking Lot Landscaping:
· Landscape Islands are required at the end of each parking row, including
loading areas and each island requires a minimum of (1) tree. The islands are
required to be a minimum of 150 square feet, and 9 feet in width.
Additional trees are required adjacent to the west property line and additional
islands and trees are required along the eastside of the building.
The quantities of the trees in the tree list do not match the number oftTees
indicated in the Landscape Tabulations table.

There is no zoning hisWry on this particular tract, however, the
tract immediately adjacent to the south was granted a SUP and a
Minor Plat for a Sonic Restaurant.
Denton Tap Road is a P6D, six lane divided thoroughfare within
100 foot right-of-way.

North- Huntington Ridge Homeowners Association's common area; SF9-
PD129R
South- Sonic Restaurant; C-SUP 1077
East - Eleanor's Square Shopping Center; TC
Item # 10
West ~ Huntington Ridge Subdivision; SF9-PD 129R
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
neighborhood retail uses.
DISCUSSION:
The applicant is proposing a 3,996 square foot retail building. The initial
application was for a 4,884 square foot building with two drive through
facilities. However, the site was too small to accommodate the parking and
the landscape requirements. This submittal includes a 2,996 square foot
Dry Cleaners with a drive-through on the southern 2/3rds of the building
and a 1,000 square foot restaurant (donut shop), without a drive through,
on the north side. The restaurant will be required to obtain a Special Use
Permit prior to occupancy.
These uses will be served by 25 parking spaces, determined at a ratio of
one space per 200 square feet for the retail (cleaners) and one space per
100 square feet for the restaurant (donut shop). Access to this site will be
via a shared driveway with Sonic. Given that these proposed uses are
mainly A.M. peak uses, and southbound Denton Tap Road is most
congested during this time, a deceleration lane is being required to serve
this site. Currently, there is a 4 foot gap between this property line and
the existing driveway. This mutual access easement will have to be
extended via separate instrument with the abutting property owner. The
plan indicates a 6 foot sidewalk, this sidewalk should be reduced to 5 feet
in width.
The plan indicates that a 6 foot high masonry wall will be erected along
the north and west property lines, as required when non-residential abuts
residential uses. The plan states that the wall will "match existing."
Additional specification as to color and materials needs to be included. It
is assumed that the wall will match the existing wall on the Sonic property
and the Huntington Ridge Addition.
The Landscape Plan indicates that just over 40 % of the site will be devoted
to landscaping. This plan generally meets, or slightly exceeds (in number
of trees) the requirements of the ordinance. The perimeter landscaping
meets the requirements. Minor modifications to the areas counted toward
non-vehicular versus interior landscaping could balance the requirements
of each. However, the figures in the Landscape Tabulations do not reflect
what is indicated on the plan (i.e. total perimeter is 8,257 vs. 8,157,
number of trees required and provided are off by one tree in almost all
categories, and summary of the square footage of landscaping provided are
miscalculated.) These differences need to be rectified prior to forwarding
for City Council consideration.
Item # 10
The Elevations indicate a brick veneer with less than 20 % split face block
along the base and stucco detail along the roo~ine. Hunter Green awnings
are proposed along the east elevation, facing Denton Tap Road. The roof
over the drive through for the cleaners is proposed to be a standing seam
metal roof in generally the same dark green color as the awnings.
The signage is proposed to meet the maximum allowed for attached
signage, which is one square foot of sign for every one linear foot of
frontage, allowing for 74 square feet of sign area. The plans indicate that
the signs will be back lit with medium Helvetica font, however, the color
is not specified. The monument sign is also proposed to meet the
maximum allowed, 40 square feet, but again the color of the letters is not
specified.
The Minor Plat establishes this 0.842 acre tract as a separate lot. This
plat designates the fire lane and existing and proposed easements. As
noted above, to allow for this site plan m function as planned, an
additional mutual access easement will need to be obtained from the
property owner abutting to the south to utilize the shared driveway.
Finally, TXU is requesting additional easements within this tract.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of a Site Plan and Minor Plat for Dry Clean City
subject to:
1. Any restaurant use will require a SUP prior to the issuance of a building
permit for that use.
2. Modification of the Landscape Plan tabulations to assure the required amount
of landscaping is provided in each category.
3. Rectify the differences in the Landscape Tabulations and the landscaping
provided on the site plan.
4. Specify color and materials of lettering on proposed attached and monument
signs. The color of raceway on the attached signs needs to match the brick on
which it is mounted.
5. Width of the sidewalk being reduced from 6 to 5 feet.
6. Specify color and materials of the proposed 6 foot high wall along the north
and west property lines.
7. Obtain a mutual access easement from abutting property owner to allow for
the shared driveway.
8. Provide easements(s) as required by TXU Electric and Gas

Harming & Zoning Commission Meeting: November 16, 2000
City Council Meeting: December 12, 2000
Site Plan:
1. Consider another name for the development and the plat which is more in keeping
with the size and scale of the proposed development.
2. Need to specify the required brick screening wall along the north and east
property lines. This wall should match color and materials of the existing wall
around Sonic.
3. Need to specify the dumpster screening. Consider relocating the dumpster closer
to the building, not adjacent to the single family nor visible from Denton Tap
Road.
4. Parking calculations indicate 32 spaces being provided, however only 31 appear
on the site plan. There are only 12 spaces along Denton Tap Road.
· If the proposed use is 100% retail, then only 25 spaces would be required.
The maximum ratio of restaurant to retail would be 3,600 square feet of retail
and 1,284 of restaurant to meet the parking requirements.
· Need to submit a conceptual floor plan to clarify the proposed size and access
points to the individual tenants.
5. Any restaurant (donut shop) will require a SLIP.
6. Add the curve data to the fire lane, 30' inside and 54' outside radii are required.
7. Need to demonstrate that the queuing for the drive though widows will not
conflict with the fire lanes.
8. The proposed monument sign may be a maximum of 40 square feet with a height
of 4 feet and must be setback 75 feet from the adjacent property line to the south
and 15 feet from the property line adjacent to Denton Tap Road.
· Need to provide elevations, color, materials and proposed font for the
monument sign.
8. Need to add all existing and proposed easements, including access and utility
easements and reflect the same on the plat.
Elevations:
1. Need to indicate the proposed signage on the east elevation of the building.
2. Need to include manufacture's specification, including colors of all proposed
materials.
Page 1 of 3
,
Provide a color board.
All ground level and roof mounted equipment needs to be screened.
Will both proposed uses utilize the same door, or will there be two doors on the
east elevation?
Landscape Plan:
The amount of perimeter landscaping meets the requirement, however, the areas for
parking lot and the non-vehicular !andseaplng is severely deficient and there are
conflicts in the tree counts. Specifically:
1. Revise inconsistencies between the Landscape Tabulations which state that 26
trees are required, and the landscape plan, where 29 trees are shown.
2. Provide a table indicating the type, quantity, and species of trees provided.
3. Interior Landscaping:
· Per Section 34-1-8 Oik3) of the Zoning Ordinance, provide an island and a tree
at the end of each parking row. The tree islands need to be a minimum of 150
square feet, with a minimum width of 9 feet, a minimum of 4 islands are
required for 32 parking spaces.
* As indicated in the Landscape Tabulations Table 2,120 square feet of interior
landscaping is required, and only 1,450 square feet is being shown (over a
30% shortage).
4. Non-vehicular landscaping:
· As indicated in the Landscape Tabulations Table 4,770 square feet of non-
vehicular landscaping is required, and only 1,160 square feet is being shown
(over a 75% shortage).
· ' Per the landscape ordinance, 50% of the non-vehicular landscaping (2,385 sq.
ft.) is required to be in the front yard, only 300 square feet is provided in the
front yard.
IT APPEARS THAT THE BUILDING SIZE WILL NEED TO BE REDUCED
TO ACCOMMODATE EVEN THE MINIMAL LANDSCAPE
RE Q UIREMENTS.
Plat:
,
Need to rename the plat "Minor Plat" of the City Center Addition.
Need to add the fire lanes to the plan (with dimensions and curve data), and
access and utility easements, which need to conform with the easements and
circulation paRems on the site plan.
The City Secretary's signature block needs to be revised to reflect the correct
name of the plat, being City Center Addition, not the Sonic Addition, and to
correct the year from 1999 to 2000.
The Owner's Certificate needs to be revised to add a signature line for the
owner' s signature.
Revise the Franchise Utilities signature block to reflect TXU Electric and Gas.

Item # 11
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
medium density residential.
DISCUSSION:
The applicant is requesting Minor Plat approval to subdivide .6964 of an acre
into two lots under the existing SF-12 zoning. Lot 1 will contain 17,015
square feet of land area and Lot 2 will contain 13,321 square feet of land
area. The subject property is located between Sandy Lake Road and Cedar
Crest Drive, along the west side of Lodge Road and contains a single-family
dwelling fronting Sandy Lake Road. The applicant desires to subdivide the
property into two lots in order to construct a single family dwelling on Lot
2.
The subject property is extremely narrow, measuring 96' wide by 317'
deep, which creates several site design obstacles. Most significantly, the
substandard width of the lot will require the applicant to seek a variance
from the Board of Adjustment before development of Lot 2 may occur.
Additionally, there is a small strip of land between the north property line
and Cedar Crest Drive owned by the adjacent neighborhood association,
limiting frontage to only Lodge Road.
The proposed dwelling will face Lodge Road with access provided from
the existing alley to the west. While the plat clearly indicates the
maximum building envelope, the applicant has more specifically indicated
that the proposed dwelling will be located closer to Cedar Crest Drive at the
north end of the property. The proposed location of the dwelling will provide
a buffer between the new and existing home, creating a significant side yard
for Lot 2. The applicant has also indicated that there are no plans to
remove or alter the existing dwelling fronting on Sandy Lake.
The applicant is required to install a sidewalk along the west side of Lodge
Road. The existing conditions on Lodge Road provide only a 7' parkway
between Lodge Road and the Carrick's east property line (See attached
exhibit). Typically, a 11' wide parkway is required for the installation of a
sidewalk and utilities. However, the applicant has dernonstmted to staff with
the attached exhibit, that a 7' parkway appears to be adequate in this specific
case. Staff has recommended that ff the sidewalk can not be constructed
within the 7' parkway, a sidewalk/utility easement will be required from the
subject property.
It is anticipated that construction of the required sidewalk will result in the
need for a retaining wall on the subject site. It is also likely that construction
of the sidewalk and retaining wall will require the existing (nonconforming)
wrought iron fence to be removed. If this portion of the fence is removed to
construct a retaining wall, it can not be reconstructed in its current location,
but must be relocated behind the 30' front building setback line. If the
Item # 11
applicant desires to reconstruct the fence, or any portion of the fence within
the front yard, the Board of Adjustment must approve a variance.
The applicant has provided a tree exhibit that indicates the removal of four
existing trees, while preserving the majority of the existing perimeter trees.
The applicant has demonstrated that the level of preserved trees well exceeds
the level of trees to be removed. Therefore, no additional tree mitigation is
required for the subject site.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the minor plat, subject to the following
conditions:
1)
2)
3)
Revise title block on plat to read "Minor Plat."
A sidewalk shall be constructed along the west side of Lodge Road as
required by the City Engineer. If the sidewalk can not be constructed within
the existing 7'parkway, a sidewalk/utility easement will be required to
facilitate construction.
If a retaining wall must be constructed as a result of development, it must be
constructed on private property and shall not encroach into the public right-
of-my and/or sidewalk/utility easement.

SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- Railroad (D.A.R.T fight-of-way), United States Post Office
South - I.H. 635, warehouse/office facility, "LI" Light Industrial
East - Vacant, "LF' Light Industrial
West - Park 'N Fly, "LF' Light Industrial
Item # 12
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
light industrial/showroom use.
DISCUSSION:
The applicant is requesting to mend the existing Haverty' s Site Plan in order
to construct a 170,590 square foot addition, with accessory loading/service
areas and parking. The proposed expansion includes a 16,590 square foot
shop and parts area and an additional 154,000 square feet of warehouse area,
bringing the total square footage of the entire facility to 499 ,265 square feet.
As a result of the building expansion, the existing track court in the front of
the building will be extended further to the east, consisting of an additional
21 dock doors and 27 truck parking spaces. The applicant proposes to locate
two trash compactors within the expanded track court, one on either end. The
building addition, extended truck court and trash compactors will be
completely screened from Gateway Boulevard by the adjacent building to the
south and from Exchange Circle by a landscape screen. Toward the rear of
the site, the building expansion will provide a shop and parts area and an
additional truck court consisting of 20 dock doors.
The architecture of the proposed addition will match that of the existing
building. The applicant has indicated that the building walls, louvers,
downspouts, and doors will be painted beige (ICI-474 Stone Harbor) and all
metal canopies over the loading areas will be painted grey (ICI-1437 Ascot
Blue). No architectural changes are proposed to the existing portions of the
facility and no additional signage is proposed as a result of the expansion.
The existing chain link fence will be modified to include the expanded areas
and sliding gates will be installed at the Gateway Boulevard and the
Exchange Circle entrances.
PARKING
The existing I-Iaverty's facility contains. 50,000 square feet of retail, 15,000
square feet of office, and 213,675 square feet of warehouse area and is served
by 318 parking spaces (1:876 overall parking ratio). A parking variance was
granted with the original site plan approval in 1996, which included 'future
expansions to the facility up to 522,000 square feet (total proposed- 499,265).
At that time, Haverty's demonstrated to the Planning Commission and City
Council that the level of parking required by the zoning ordinance exceeded
the level needed to serve this particular type of facility. Staff' s review of the
existing parking conditions confirms that the current [evel of parking is
adequate. Staff believes there is no reason not to allow the applicant to
continue parking the facility as outlined in the original site plan approval. As
proposed, additional parking will be provided at a 1:865 parking ratio, with
302 additional parking spaces serving the 170,590 square feet expansion.
Item# 12
LANDSCAPING/SCREENING
In accordance with the zoning ordinance, the applicant has. provided the
required interior and non-vehicular landscape areas; however, perimeter
landscape requirements have not been met. Due to the site's existing
conditions, the majority of the required landscaping is already existing; the
current plan primarily provides for the replacement of all damaged/removed
trees and shrubs, new landscape islands with trees and additional landscape
screening at the Exchange Circle entrance. Because of the site' s adjacency to
the railroad tracks, no perimeter landscaping wa.qis provided along the north
property line. The approved site plan does show this condition and the
applicant requests that the north perimeter area remain as it curren~y exists.
Due to the nature of the facility and the fully landscaped rear parking lot, staff
has no objection to the request as it pertaim to the passenger vehicle areas
only.
As mentioned above, it appears that all landscaping requirements have been
met, with the exception of the noted perimeter areas. However, the landscape
tabulations are inconsistent with site conditions. While it is apparent that the
provided landscaping meets and exceeds the landscape requirements, staff
has recommended that the applicant revise the calculations to accurately
reflect the existing and proposed site conditions.
Both the expanded south truck court and the new truck court at the north of
the property are required to be screened from adjacent properties. In both
instances, the applicant is requesting that the existing conditions remain. On
the south side of the property, existing Red Oak trees are spaced every 50'
and a solid hedge of Nellie R. Stevens is present along the property line
between the expanded truck court and the property to the south. The
expanded truck court will also back up to the existing truck court serving the
property to the south and will not be visible from either Gateway Boulevard ·
or Exchange Circle. In this instance, staff believes the existing mature
landscaping conditions should not be altered to construct a wail or additional
screening measures. On the north side of the property, the new truck court
will face the existing railroad and undeveloped property. Unlike the south
truck court, no perimeter landscaping is provided in this area to buffer to the
loading/service area~ While the north truck court will not be visible from
Gateway or Exchange Circle, it will be visible from the adjacent railroad,
currently D.A.R.T. fight-of-way and the future D.A.R.T line. In this case,
staff does not support full relief from the screening requirements and has
recommended that a living screen be installed along the eastern half of noah
property line to adequately screen the truck court from view.

color is more effective in minimizin. the visibilitv of the
eauinment and screen from Dublie ri~hts-of-wav and/or adjacent
pro~rties.
DISCUSSION:
The Zoning Ordinance is currently silent on the need to screen ground
level as well as roof mounted mechanical equipment. This provision has
been added during site plan review on a case-by-case basis. It is suggested
that this requirement be added to the zoning ordinance to allow for
consistent enforcement.
On October 19, 2000, the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed this
proposed text amendment. Revisions were recommended to achieve a
higher level of specificity to the screening requirements.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the proposed text amendment to Section 33-1.6
Screening Standards to include additional provisions to require the screening of both
ground level and elevated mechanical equipment as revised by the Planning and
Zoning Commission on October 16, 2000.

STAFF REPORT
Note: This site plan is different, but the use is identical to a request unanimously denied by Planning
Commission in September. Staff would typically not present the case again, however legal counsel
recommended that we reprocess it due to formal application and filing fees being resubmitted.
Hence, the following slaff report, with additions from the original study shown in italics, is offered
for consideration.

Approximately 2.02 acres of property.
CURRENT ZONING:
HC - Highway Commercial
Site Plan approval for a three-stoW, 72,000 square foot warehouse

HISTORY:
There has not been development activity on this parcel although the
Council approved a Jack-in-the-Box Restaurant on property to the
west-of this parcel in May of this year. The Jack in the Box is
currently under constructloft A site plan request for warehouse use
was originally heard by the Planning Commission on September 21,
2000, where it received unanimous denial. It was not appealed to
Council. Not only did the zoning not accommodate the use, but there
were several other developmental issues the applicant failed to
Item # 6
TRANSPORTATION:
adequately address. Several of those issues are outlined in the
accompanying staff report. Between September and the application
date for November cases, the Council changed the zoning flom LI to
HC, a zoning classification that does not support warehouse use.
State Highway 121 will eventually be built here as a six-lane divided
freeway. The subject tract is adjacent to the eastbound one way
service mad of this highway and consists of three lanes of pavement.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- State highway 121; City of Lewisville zoning
South - Denton Creek Middle School; SF-7
East - Denton Creek Middle School; SF-7
West - vacant site for Jack-in-the-Box restaurant; HC zoning
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Hart shows the property as suitable for regional
retail uses of which this proposal is questionable at best.
DISCUSSION:
This is a request for a use not allowed in the base-zoning category of HC,
Highway Commercial. In addition, there are several concerns with the plan
that merit mentioning in an overall analysis of the proposal. To understand
this entire issue, several action dates need to be kept in mind:
May 18 CPC called hearing to consider HC zoning
(cont. two months due to advertising error)
dul. 20--unanimous CPC approval of HC zoning
Aug. &-Council continues HC to Sept. 12
Sept. 12---Council approves HC zoning
Sept. 21 Planning Commission denies request
Oct. 10--HC ordinance adopted
Oct. 18--new site plan submitted
Nov. 16~CPC hearing
Subsequent to Planning Commission denying this application on September
21. the applicant resubmitted a revised plan on October 18, 2000. These
dates are important in that the applicant is claiming he submitted an
application seeking site plan approval prior to the zoning change disallowing
his proposed use Although we strongly disagree with that line of thought, we
have processed this revised applicatior~ Initial review of this plan outlined at
least 18 specific concerns of staff (see attached U-Haul letter dated October
31, 2000).
In addition to the time flame analysis, there are several concerns with the
plan that merit mention in an overall analysis of the proposal. For example,
details of the request show a three-story warehouse to be mn by the U-Haul
organization. The facility is shown to have several overhead storage access
doors on the first level that continue around the building. Many of these
Item # 6
doors have been eliminated m the most recent submittal. In addition, there
are other, large access doors that cream a rather unusual and somewhat
awkward scale to the building. The building is also shown to have a series of
different color schemes ranging from orange parapet stripe, to tan Dryvit (an
imitation of stucco) elevation, to forest green metal panels, to tan brick
facade, to light tan brick horizontal stripes, to vast areas of glazing, to an
undefined reddish colored series of overhead metal doors encompassing the
building. This jumble of building colors, materials, and finishes results in a
building that is very awkward looking. There are also several over-sized
parking spaces at the from of the building which are obviously placed there
for outside storage/advertising, which is not allowed. During our
development review of the most recent submittal, the applicant agreed
advertising was not allowed but insisted that LI zoning permitted display of
U-Haul identified trucks. (Again, please see correspondence of October 31,
2000 attached). There is no district m the Coppell Zoning Ordinance that
allows this type of vehicular signage. Landscaping calculations are not in the
proper form. There are no dimensions on the sidewalk. Sidewalk dimensions
are now included Appropriate landscape screening of parking spaces is not
reflected on the site plan. Although there are three examples of monument
signage, it is unclear which one is preferred. In addition, the sign should be
the same masonry material as shown for the majority of the building. A
fifteen-foot monument sign setback needs to be specified on the site plan. The
signage issues have now been resolved Plant material does not indicate
size/caliper of landscaping. The October 18 submittal indicates our minimum
3" caliper tree standard Fire lane radii do not meet minimum guidelines.
Fire lanes conform on the new plan.
As stated above, upon review of the re-submittal, planning staff expressed 18
concerns, including improper zoning. In responding to those concerns (the
U-Haul letter of October 3 O, many of the comments do not satisfactorily
address the issue, and 6 of the 18 are still not resolved
The use proposed here is troubling in that it does not reflect a use recognized
by the Comprehensive Plan. As indicated by the Plan, regional retail uses are
those with good access to highways such as restaurants and retail centers. A
warehouse is not defined as a regional retail use, so from the Plan' s vision for
the future, it is not recommended for this site. Our re-analysis draws the
same conclusior~ Even ~f LI standards were applied to the most recent
submittal, there are several development violations including landscaping
area deficiencies of at least 11 O0 square feet; all parking areas do not
included landscape islands at their ends with trees in the landscape areas;
lighting proposed for the building is m violation of our zoning glare
standards; the color board submitted still does not detail glass to be used and
color of the overheard service doors; service doors on the J~ont of the
building must be screened ~om public streets; all portions of the building
within 150feet of a residential zone can not exceed 35feet m height.
Item # 6
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends denial of this request for a variety of reasons-several stated above-
and the fact that HC zoning does not allow general warehousing activities of any
type. Our assessment of this use not being proper at this location, not conforming to
base zoning, not complying with specific elements of the zoning ordinance, and
certainly not supportive of the Comprehensive Plan compels us to recommend denial
of this re~applicatiott

Coppall, Texas 75019
Dear Sir:
I am writing in response to the ORC comments dated October 27, 2000 regarding the site plan
submittal for U-Haul International. I have addressed each comment individually.
1. This use is not allowed in the base zoning.
At the time of the submittal of this project, the property carded the "L.I" zoning designation. Our use is
compatible with, and allowed in, the "LI" Zoning district.
2. The proposed use is not recommended by the comprehensive plan...
3. All parking spaces are not d'rnensioned.
It is Customary to dimension only one space in a line of parking; it is assumed that the remaining
spaces are identical in size to that space. In order to further clarify the situation we have added the
notation "TYP" to each of the dimensions. If this is not sufficient. please specify how you would like the
spaces to be dimensioned and we will comply.
4. 80% masonry requirement does not include Dryvit: we recommend against this material on the
20% portion of the buildings.
The exterior insulation and finish system makes up no more than 3"/~, of the front fa~:~.de of the building
and considerably ~ when the calculated across eli the elevations. We have previously used this as a
primary finish material on buildings in the Dallas area and have no reason to believe that the small
amount on this building will constitute a prol~lam.
Landscape calculations should be placed on the site plan and indicate: ~nterbr landscape
requ~'ement; perimeter I.e. requirement; non-vehicular open space requirement; all as outlined
in the zoning ordinance.
We have made avery effort to calculate and present the landscape requirements in complete detail.
We have listed each of the above requirements in a separate calculation, with the zoning section, and
have even provided diagrams to explain each area. We are at a loss to explain how you could make
the claim that this information is not on the site plan. If you have specific objections as to the content of
the c81culations, please state them end we will be happy to respond.

THU 08:58 FAX 214 745 5864 WS&M DALLAS FLOOR 54
~003
6. Lanclscaping area and plant material list shown do not meet minimum requirements.
In your letter dated September 22, 2000 to U-Haul International your only comment with regard to the
landscape was item No. 6 - that the "Plant matedab do not specify size and callper.' The drawings
submitted to you clearly state the size and coroner. The information is identical in all other respects.
Please let us know specffically what requirements have been added since the September 22, letter and
we will I:N'ovide yOu with this information.
7. All landscape areas not dirnensionecl.
Each landscape area includes a dimension of its depth. We would be happy to include any additional
dimensions you wish to specify. In the absence of this information I have relied upon this standard
architectural practice.
8. Parking must be screened from neighboring property lines.
The parking areas are screened from the adjoining property lines with a new 6' masonry sa'eenwa!l.
This fact is c/early noted and a detail has been provided per your previous request At the September
7~' DRC meeting we sited that it was our understanding that the drive to the west side of the property
need not be screened from an adjacent "Lr' zoned property. At that time we also offered to provide
such screening if we were in error. At no time during that meeting or after have you said that such
screening is necessary. If this is the intent of your comment, please show us where it is required by the
code and we will provide it.
9. Parking spaces in front seem excessive; no truck parking with advertising alloweci on site;
storing or display of rental trailers or vehicles not allowed in parking spaces, or on site
As we informed you at the September 7~' DRC meeting, the spaces at the front of the site are sized to
allow us to park our rental trucks in those ices. At that meeting you informed us that we would not
be altowed to place adclitional advertising signs on or around the vehicles, and we will not. No rental
equipment will be placed in a customer space. Your statement that the trucks and trailers for rent are
not allowed on the site is simply in error. The "Lr' zoning, which encompasses the 'C" zoning,
specifically allows for "Automobile and truck rantar' and =trailer rental." The wording is clear and
specific.
10. Screening wall not allowed in the front yarcl.
Section 34-I-8 (C) Perimeter Landscapina states that parffing and vehicular use areas shall be
screened from public rights-of-way by a "wa. Jl, fence, hedge, berm, or other dural3la landscape barrier."
We are not aware of any section of the code negating this provision. If such a negation exists, please
tell us what section, and we will provide another form of screening.
11. Interior I~hted and plastic bubble s~gnage not allowed.
letters as
Our sign detail clearly calls out the r~ "pan-channel." You informed me that this was an
h
acceptable signage at t e September 7 DRC meeting. I do not know what "plastic buDhie signage" is,
but I am confident that a metal channel letter does not fall into this category.
12. Complete color board required...
Due to the three-day turnaround required by your schedule. and the speci~city of the matedab required
in your list, We will provide this expanded materials board for the November 16e' Planning Department
submission.
1i/02/00 THU 08:59 FAX 214 745 5864 WS&M DALLAS FLOOR 54 ~004
13. Larger sample of "S~erra Sumeft accent color needed; wioth of this band at top of bui:fing not
dimensk~ned.
We will provide this ample with the expanded cobr board. We me not aware of any previous request
or requirement to dimension the indNidual details of the building; however, the are8 in question is 12"
high.
14. Over-all footpr~t dimensions are not shown on the p~an.
The overall dimension of the building is 175' by 150' and is, in fact, clearly shown on the plan.
15. North property line not clear!y la~led.
The north property line is clearly labeled as 'curve 1" and includes the radius, am length, delta, chord
length and chord bearing, ff there is further information that can be provided for a curve, plea,~ specify
your requirements and we will provide it,
16. L~ht~hg proposed appears excessive.
The lighting shown is designed to standard used throughout the U-Haul system. Our previous
submittal included an identical lighting plan and no comments were provided at that time. Your wording
indicates that this may be a suggestion rather than a requirement, If you have any specific suggestions
we would be happy to consider them.
17. City does not have an "IL " zoning classirK:ation.
This was an error on our part. We have revised the drawings to mad "Li" rather than 'IL." We regret
any confusion this may have caused.
18. Deceleration lane not shown on plan.
This deceleration lane did not exist at the time our plan was drafted. We will endeavor to provide this
information on the plans for the November 16~' Planning & Zoning meeting.
If you have any questions. please do not hesitate to call me.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey A. Evans

(30) days after demand, pay to the City all taxes which otherwise would have been paid to the City
without benefit of a tax abatement with interest at the statutory rate for delinquent taxes as
determined by Section 33.01 of the Tax Code as amended but without penalty. The parties
acknowledge that actual damages in the event of default termination would be speculative and
difficult to determine. The parties further agree that any abated tax, 'including interest as a result of
this Agreement, shall be recoverable against Owner, its successors and assigns and shall constitute a
tax lien on the Premises and shall become due, owing and shall be paid to the City within thirty (30)
days after termination.
19. Upon breach by Owner of any obligations under this Agreement, the City shall
notify Owner in writing. Owner shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of the notice in which to
cure any such default. If the default cannot reasonably be cured within a thirty (30) day period, and
Owner has diligently pursued such remedies as shall be reasonably necessary to cure such default,
then the City may extend the period in which the violation must be cured.
20. If Owner fails to cure the default within the time provided as specified above or, as
such time period may be extended, then the City at its sole option shall have the right to terminate
this Agreement by written notice to Owner.
21. Upon termination of this Agreement by City, all tax abated as a result of this
Agreement shall become a debt to the City as liquidated damages, and shall become due and
payable not later than sixty (60) days after a notice of termination is made. The City shall have all
remedies for the collection of the abated tax provided generally in the Tax Code for the collection of
delinquent property tax. The City at its sole discretion has the option to provide a repayment
schedule. The computation of the abated tax for the purposes of the Agreement shall be based upon
the full Taxable Value of the Improvements without tax abatement for the years in which tax
abatement hereunder was received by Owner with respect to the Improvements as determined by
the Appraisal District, multiplied by the tax rate of the years in question, as calculated by the City
TAX ABATEMENT AGREEMENT - Page 5 37287
Tax Assessor-Collector. The liquidated damages shall incur penalties as provided for delinquent
taxes and shall commence to accrue after expiration of the sixty (60) day payment period.
