TRANSPORTATION: Wrangler Drive is an asphalt road with side ditches inside a 60'- wide right-of-way shown on the thoroughfare plan as a C4U 4-lane undivided collector. SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North- South - East- West - IBM Call Center under construction; LI Lincoln Properties Coppell Business Center I; LI North Lake; City of Dallas Myers & Crow Park West Business Center; LI Item # 11 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for light industrial/showroom use. DISCUSSION: The submitted replat shows that the interior lot line between Lots 1 and 2 has been shifted southward by about 10', thus increasing the size of Lot 1 by 6,935 sf and decreasing the size of Lot 2 by 9,317 sf. (2,382 sf was dedicated to right-of-way for a deceleration lane). Also, in addition to placing fire lanes on Lot 2 with this replat, the location of the fire lanes along the southern and eastern property lines of Lot 1 were shifted slightly north and east. The submitted site plan shows two single story tilt wall structures to be built in two phases. Phase I consists of the construction of the eastern building located adjacent to Beltline Road. The building totals approximately 104,000 sf and the applicant is providing 430 parking spaces and 5 loading spaces during Phase I. Of the 430 parking spaces provided in Phase I, approximately 100 spaces will be covered parking, located adjacent to the western elevation of the building, as well as some located in the interior courtyard area. The parking canopy consists of concrete columns with robbed firfish and a metal canopy painted to match the building. The remaining 320 parking spaces, 5 loading spaces and the second building will be built at an undetermined future date. The landscape plan shows an attractive landscape treatment of 3 ft. high berms with groupings of Live Oaks and Crape Myrtles interspersed along the tops of the berms along Belfline Road and Wrangler Drive. Two landscaped islands are shown at both the Belfline and Wrangler entrance driveways separating the ingress and egress vehicular movements. The building elevations show two buildings very similar architecturally to the IBM building under construction on Lot 1 of this replat. The elevations show a two toned painted tilt wall structure, with the upper two-thirds of the building painted in dark gray and the lower one-third blue reflective glass windows flanked with painted light and dark gray concrete panels, producing a column effect. At the four corners of the building there is a perforated semi-circular metal decorative panel feature located below the roof corners.
