RE: Consideration of a request for a variance to allow the construction of a
temporary asphalt parking lot at 732 DeForest Road, the City of Coppell's
North Service Center
Date: November 28, 1995
The City of Coppell is currently experiencing a temporary parking problem associated with the
North Service Center. The problem stems from four operations: 1) Leisure Services; 2) Streets;
3) Utilities and 4) Fleet Maintenance operating out of one facility with limited parking. In
addition to the employees vehicles, there is also room needed for equipment for various
functions and vehicles impounded by the Police Department. As more and more vehicles and
equipment have been brought on line by the various departments over the past few years, there
has become a premium on the available parking spaces at the facility.
There currently is a level area just inside the brick fence that is not visible from DeForest Road
which could be utilized on an interim basis as a temporary asphalt parking lot for remote
employee parking. We have been in contact with Dallas County and they would be willing to
provide us with materials at their cost to install the asphalt parking lot. It is anticipated that the
parking lot would provide approximately 18 parking spaces for a period not to exceed 24
months.
