Re: Park West Commerce Center
Dear Alan:
Lee Coleman and I greatly appreciated your help in completing
the review of our building permit application for the first
building at the Park West Commerce Center in Coppell.
We have reviewed your staff's comments on our plans and
specifications and we have identified three items that we need
to resolve prior to starting construction.
City approval to use plastic drop-out skylights for smoke
and heat vents.
The use of these devices is widely accepted in this area.
They are accepted by the City's of Arlington, Carrollton,
Farmers Branch, Irving and Grapevine, as well as, numerous
other area Cities. Additionally, the City of Dallas does
not require smoke and heat venting for fully sprinklered
buildings.
e
City approval to reduce the rear yard set back requirement
to 30 feet in conjunction with a 30 foot "no build"
easement being filed on the adjacent property thereby,
insuring a 60 foot building separation.
Attached is a page from the UBC Application Interpretation
Manual. that supports this request. The use of this "no
build" easement is widely accepted and is common practice
in all of the area Cities that we surveyed.

e
Revision to the City Standard Paving Assembly to permit 5"
thick concrete reinforced with #3 bars at 24" on center in
non-fire lane areas on private property.
Industrial buildings have large paved areas that are used
for parking. Most area Cities permit 5" concrete in these
areas and apply the 6" standard only to the fire lane
portion of the property.
We would appreciate your review of these issues and advising us
of how we need to proceed to obtain these approvals.
Yours truly,
Michael R. Tucker
Vice President
