ITEM 12
ANALYSIS: Coppell Independent School District is requesting approval
of a partial replat for the Kimbel Addition, to allow
construction of an elementary school at this location. A
steady increase in Coppell's population necessitates the
construction of this school to alleviate crowding at both
Mockingbird Elementary and Lee Elementary Schools. The
overall architectural look of this school will duplicate
that of Barbara S. Austin Elementary School on Moore Road,
and the school district will begin construction of this
school immediately after City Council approval.
Several variances to the Comprehensive Subdivision
Ordinance have been requested.
1) Waiver of development fees.
STAFF COMMENT: The City has waived certain
development fees for the School District in the past.
Staff is waiting for a specific request, which
outlines which fees C.I.S.D. wants the City to waive.
2} Allow the parking areas to be paved with 5" concrete
vs. 6".
STAFF COMMENT: The City has granted this request on
other school projects in the past. Staff has no
objections to this request.
3) Permit the use of brick pilaster along with wrought
iron fences along MacArthur Boulevard.
STAFF COMMENT: Details of the fence, which is mainly
constructed of wrought iron, will be provided at the
meeting.
Because of this location and the proximity to
MacArthur Boulevard {future 6-lane divided roadway),
staff is concerned about the amount of traffic
generated by a school coupled with a major arterial
running along side it.
We, therefore, recommend approval of the replat with
the condition that a traffic analysis be submitted
prior to final approval of the replat by the City
Council.
ALTERNATIVES: 1} Approve the replat 2) Deny the replat
3) Modify the replat

RE: Coppell Elementary School #6
Brick Screenwall Requirement
Dear Mr. Sieb:
On behalf of Coppell I.S.D., I would like to request a hearing of the Coppell City Council
on a variance for the above mentioned project.
Coppell I.S.D. would like to request that they be allowed to provide a brick fence along
MacArthur that is constructed of the same brick as other fences in that area, but that
they be allowed to provide brick pilasters only with wrought iron infill between the
pilasters. The school district does plan provide two solid panels at each end of the
fence as a transition. The details will be identical to the fence along MacArthur located
just a small distance north of the school's property. I am attaching a copy of the fence
detail for your review.
I appreciate your consideration of this request. Should you need any other additional in-
formation, please do not hesitate to call me.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Very truly yours,
SHWC,
. Keep
Senior Vice President
