We received the City of Coppell DRC comments regarding the referenced project and have made the
appropriate revisions and corrections. The following are our responses to the comments made on the
replat, site plan, landscape plan and preliminary engineering exhibits:
Re-Zoning PU
Building Inspection
1. Type II-B construction housing a S-1 occupancy has a base area of 17,500 s.f. By not maintaining
60 foot yards, buildings areas will NOT be unlimited. - We revised the layout to provide 60 foot
yards everytti~here.
2. Development on Lot 2 does not appear to be able to be built as drawn unless buildings built with
a higher level of fire resistiveness than II-B type of constriction. - We revised the layout to
provide 60 foot yards everywhere.
Electric
1. Contact Jeff Curry at 972-888-1330 to discus electric service requirements. - ire have contacted
Jeff Curry and will work with his department to determine the scope of the electrical system.
Engineering
1. Show fire hydrants, FDC, and valve locations. - We now indicate locations for valves, FH's and
fire deparbnent connections.
2. Loop the water line. - We have looped the waterline back to the existing onsite system near the
south end of the development. We understand that the system may have to change in the final
design to meet the City's requirements.
3. Extend sanitary sewer service to Building "D". We now show a sere service connecting to
Building `D ".
4. Use stamped concrete at entrances. - We now show to use stamped concrete at all entrances to be
constructed or reconstructed.
5. 5. The drainage will be evaluated further during Plan Review. - We understand that all utilities
and drainage wt~ll need to be approved in the final Plan Review process.
6. The 6" domestic water meter should be in a vault and 20' x 20' utility easement. - We added an
easement to be around the requested vault.
7. The detention pond calculations need to be provided. -The detention pond calculations are now
provided on the Preliminary Drainage Plan.

Fire Administration
1. Fire hydrants required at 300' intervals along fire lanes. -Fire hydrants were added along fire
lanes to have 300 foot rnaximum spacing.
2. Show FDC (fire department connection) locations. FDC's must be within 50' of a fire hydrant
and on the same side of the fire lane. - FDC's were added to each new building and fire hydrants
moved or added to be within SO feet of the FDC.
3. Provide water as-bunts for existing property for reference. Proposed buildings should not use the
existing fire pumps. - We are providing the water as-bunts under a separate cover to Tim Oates.
We will work with his department and the engineering staff to provide a design to meet their
requests.
Planning Department
A.Rectify ALL the discrepancies between the Site Plan, Landscape Plan and Plat, including, but
not limited to location of lot lines, driveways, existing and proposed improvements, parking
areas, lot numbers, etc. - We have coordinated the plans of each of the design tearn mid now all
show common layouts, lot lines, etc.
B. Are any monument signs proposed for any of the lots? If so, provide location, design, etc. - We
now show monument signs at three locations o~T the Site Plan.
Site Plan
1. Rectify the discrepancies within this sheet including lot numbers, etc. -This was done.
2. Lot 1 R:
a. Add individual square footages of buildings o be retained within this lot,
designating office vs. warehouse uses and required parking, and clearly note
building(s) to be removed. We added the individual square footages and
indicate the building to be removed with a cross hatch pattern.
b. Dimension existing/proposed building setback from Bethel Road. -This was
done.
c. Is a new driveway intended to intersect with Bethel Road? Does not show on
Landscape Plan. -There are to be 2 new driveways onto Bethel Road. All
exhibits reflect this now.
d. Southeast corner of tract - rectify the discrepancies in location and
configuration of parking. - 'Phis was done.
e. All new parking must comply with the landscape ordinance, including parking
lot islands. -This wus done. Parking islands were added to have no more than
1 S consecutive parking spaces in new parking areas.
f. Include parking counts on the site plan. -Parking counts now are displayed on
the plan and in the summary teat.
g. Is the future expansion to be included on this plan? Is there sufficient parking
and landscaping to accommodate it? -The expansion is now indicated. There
is enough parking provided to accommodate it.
3. Lot 2R:
a. Add square footage of Buildings A, B, and C on the site plan and in the
tabulations with % of office vs. warehouse. -The individual square footages of
each building was added including the breakdown of the type of use.
b. Need to screen Building A's loading area from Bethel Road. - A screening
wall was added to screen Building A's loading area as reyuested.

d. Is Building C intended to be rail served. Elevations do not indicate that. If not,
does this rail line need to be abandoned? - We intend to make rail service
available for Building C for now. The rails are to remain.
e. Where is the lot line to the east and north of Building C. -This discrepancy
was rectified.
f. A parking island is required every 15 (not 16) spaces. The maximum spacing is
now 15 spaces.
g. Driveway to Bethel Road located as shown on the plat or the site plan? To be
as shown on the plat. This has been rectified on all exhibits.
h. Verify parking count. -The parking count was verified and updated
4. Lot 3R:
a. Is "in-fill" parking proposed north of the building? Access must be provided
from the existing to the proposed parking areas. -There is to be NO "in-fi.ll
parking north of the building.
h. Firelane must be provided to serve this building. - A frrelane now serves this
building.
5. Lot 4R:
a. Indicate the buildings/improvements to be retained different from those to be
removed. -Cross hatching has heen added to delineate between improvements
being removed and those that are staying.
b. Clearly indicate the Fire Lanes. - The fire lanes are now shaded for
clarification.
Contact Jeff Curry at 972-888-1330 to discus electric service requirements. - We have
contacted Jeff Curry and will work with his deparhnent to determine the scope of the
electrical system
2. If storm drain system is private, no drainage easement is required. -Storm sewers are to
be private-therefore easements were removed.
3. Provide 20' x 20' utility easement for 6" domestic water on the north side. -This was

sewer and drainage. This document will be provided in the nearfutur-e.
Fire Adminisn-ation
Planning
1. First driveway of Bethel, west of Freeport needs to be reconfigured. The "S" is too tight
for fire apparatus and vehicles that will service the property. - We have designed that

under separate cover.
2. Remove existing improvements from replat. -Existing improvements were removed from
the replat.
3. Correct the numbering of the lots. All lot numbering is now consistent.
4. Indicate all required fire lanes (and spell fire lane correctly) -All required fire lanes are
now shown with the correct spelling.
