HISTORY:
This property is currently Lot 1, Block A, of the Stringfellow Addition, a
residential subdivision filed in November 1961. Since the initial subdivision,
different portions have been replatted. Nash Manor divided one of the original lots
into multiple lots, and the Stringfellow Addition Replat amended the lot line
between Lots 4 & 5, Block B. In August 2004, a replat was approved by the City
Council for this lot; however, it was not filed and has since expired. At that time,
Item # 9

the property was rezoned to PD-203-R to allow for a florist to occupy a 2,700-
square-foot building with 12 parking spaces.
TRANSPORTATION:
Sandy Lake Road has recently been improved to a four-lane
divided thoroughfare, built generally within 95-feet of right-of-
way. Moore Road is a two-lane undivided collector street, built
within 60-feet of right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - Medical/Office building; C (Commercial)
South - Residential; SF-12 (Single Family-12)
East - Retail shopping center with gas pumps; R (Retail)
West - Residential; SF-12 (Single Family-12)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable for Neighborhood Retail.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this replat is to add drainage easements and a fire lane.
Because this is a residential replat, a notification to those property
owners within 200' within the existing subdivision was required. This
notification was sent out to four additional property owners within the
subdivision. None of the notices were returned in favor or opposition.
The current drainage of the surrounding property to the south and west
is through this lot. The applicant is proposing drainage improvements
on the west property line; therefore, a 20' drainage easement is
proposed.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the Replat, subject to the following conditions being
met:
1) Please contact Larry Redick at 972-323-8917 to discuss electric easement
requirements.
2) Ensure all easements shown on the plat are shown on the site plan and vice
versa.

the property was rezoned to PD-203-R to allow for a florist to occupy a 2,700-

TRANSPORTATION:
Sandy Lake Road has recently been improved to a four-lane
divided thoroughfare, built generally within 95-feet of right-of-
way. Moore Road is a two-lane undivided collector street, built
within 60-feet of right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - Medical/Office building; C (Commercial)
South - Residential; SF-12 (Single Family-12)
East - Retail shopping center with gas pumps; R (Retail)
West - Residential; SF-12 (Single Family-12)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable for Neighborhood Retail.
DISCUSSION:
This request is to allow for the development of a one-story, 3,028-
square-foot office building. As discussed in the HISTORY section of this
report, this was originally platted as a residential subdivision. Office
development is permissible within the current Planned Development and
is in compliance with the 1996 Comprehensive Plan, which depicts
Neighborhood Retail as an appropriate use.
The proposed Site Plan is in compliance with the zoning regulations in
terms of parking, signage and building height. There are 11 parking
spaces required and 12 proposed. There is a carport shown that does not
conform to the Zoning Ordinance's required setbacks for accessory
structures. Within a nonresidential district, the structure is required to
be setback the same distance as the main building. Staff does not feel
that this warrants an exception due to the residential adjacency and
should be removed from the plans.
As shown on the Tree Mitigation & Landscape Plan, the perimeter and
interior landscaping requirements are not completely met. The perimeter
landscape area along Moore Road is only 10-feet wide (15' is required).
This is acceptable to staff and may be approved as part of this Planned
Development, due to the following unusual circumstances of the lot:
Item iq 8
Page 2 of 5
1. The applicant is required to have 11 parking spaces on-site.
2. The applicant is preserving three of the four existing trees (36"
Red Oak and 24" & 29" Post Oaks).
3. The applicant is providing access points along both Sandy Lake
and Moore Roads.
In addressing staff's concern about the alignment of the proposed drive
on Moore Road to that of the shopping center's drive across the street in
the previously approved Site Plan, the applicant reduced the offset to 4';
therefore, slightly reducing the required 10' perimeter landscaping on
the south property line. An additional 1.5' can be gained for
landscaping if the proposed carport is removed from the plans and the
parking spaces are reduced in length to 17'. Because this is a Planned
Development, a concession to this requirement is again recommended. A
minor reduction will allow for a closer alignment of the drives and leave
enough area for the proposed trees along the property line.
Originally, the easternmost of these parking spaces on the south end was
shown as a dumpster location. Once the applicant discovered that a
dumpster was not required, it was converted into an additional parking
space. Staff recommends that this be converted to landscaping and a tree
added. The trees along this property line will help screen this business
use from the abutting residential use in addition to the required six-foot
masonry-screening wall.
The Zoning Ordinance calls for interior (parking lot) landscaping to be
increased by the same corresponding distance if the parking space is
reduced from 19' to 17' minimum. This reduction allows for the vehicle
to overhang additional landscaping in place of pavement. On this
proposal there are two instances in which this requirement is not met.
Due to the overhang being accommodated by the perimeter landscaping,
staff feels this is a reasonable exception to be granted.
There are two proposed dead-end fire lane easements, one off Sandy
Lake and one off Moore Road. These will allow for a fire truck to park
and not block either of the roadways. There is a proposed fire hydrant
located in the drive-island off of Sandy Lake. The easements and the
hydrant are acceptable to the Fire Marshal and are in accordance with
the Fire Code.
The height of the building is approximately 29'. The elevations show
the majority of the building to be "oxford red" brick with the facades
along Sandy Lake and Moore Roads each having "natural stone" at the
Page 3 of 5
Item # 8
entry and window, respectively. There will be sunbrella-style awnings
that are black in color on the north and east elevations. Each window
will have black shutters on the Moore and Sandy Lake elevations with
cast stone for the lintels and sills. The front entry is proposed to be a
brown wood door with glass. The monument sign will match the
building having both "natural stone" and the "oxford red" brick with
two tenants listed on the sign. The size and style of each tenant's
lettering will need to match. The phone number and "David H. King
Agency" will also need to be removed. The proposed attached signage
is as follows:
1. 23-square-foot logo and "Nationwide Insurance" on the east
elevation.
2. 36-square-foot logo and "David H. King Insurance Agency" on
the north elevation.
3. Nine-square-feet allowed for tenant on north elevation.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of this request, subject to the following conditions:
1) Remove the proposed carport from the plans as this does not meet the
minimum setback requirements within a nonresidential district.
2) Include a landscape area in place of the proposed parking space on the
southeast corner of the lot. This will reduce proposed parking by one.
Ensure this is reflected in all notes.
3) Replace the "Existing Transformer" note with "Existing Drainage Inlet".
4) Shield lights on rear and side elevations and ensure it meets the Glare and
Lighting Standards of the Zoning Ordinance.
5) The size and style of each tenant's lettering will need to match. The phone
number and "David H. King Agency" will need to be removed.
6) The monument sign needs to be setback 15' from the property line.
7) Ensure the dimensions on the Engineering Plans are the same as those
submitted on the Site Plan.
8) Show the band of stamped concrete at the entry along Moore Road.

9) The Brick Screening Wall detail calls out "Wall design per City of Coppell
Standards." Remove this call-out. The wall should be designed and sealed
by a licensed P.E. and submitted to Building Inspections for review.
