On September 12, 2000 the City Council approved a Conceptual
Planaed Development District (PD 186 - LI) for Industrial Uses to
allow the development of 7 office/warehouse facilities on
approximately 144 acres of land. Also approved was a final plat
for this land to allow for the construction of the extension of
Freeport Parkway from Bethel Road to Ruby Road.
Freeport Parkway needs to be constructed through this property as
a C4D/6 four-lane divided built in a six-lane (120-foot) R.O.W.
Bethel Road is proposed to be a C4D, (four-lane divided within a
110 foot R.O.W.) west of Freeport Parkway. East of Freeport
Parkway, Bethel Road is a C2U, two lane undivided within 50 feet
of right-of-way.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
office, showroom, light industrial and warehousing uses.
DISCUSSION:
This request is to re-plat a portion of the Duke-Freeport addition to allow
for the first phase of development. Lot 4 is proposed to contain a 560,000
square foot warehouse building, and 4X is a 3.242 acre retention area to
serve the drainage needs of this PD. This plat provides for fire lane,
access and utility easements.
As discussed in the review of the site plan, a third access point (driveway)
is proposed from Freeport Parkway along the northern property line.
However, no provisions for this fire lane and access easement have been
provided on this plat. Given that this is off-site from the subject property,
this will need to be established by separate instrument. Therefore, the plat
must be revised to indicate that this mutual access easement will be
provided from Freeport Parkway across the proposed drainage area to
Tract 4.
Finally, prior to the filing of this re-plat, the Final Plat for the Duke-
Freeport Addition, which dedicated the right-of-way for Freeport
Parkway, must be filed for record with Dallas County.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the Re-Plat of Lots 4 and 4X, Block A of the
Duke-Freeport Addition subject to:
1) Revision to the plat to include the fire lane and access easement from
Freeport Parkway to Tract 4, which is to be established by separate
instrument.
2) Filing of the Final Plat for the Duke-Freeport Addition (Freeport Parkway
right-of-way).
