CITY MANAGER'S COMMENTS/RECOMMENDATION FOR AGENDA ITEM
I. Item #8
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA DATED: January 12, 1988
II. COMMENTS/RECOMMENDATION:
It is staff's opinion that the intersection of Beltline and Gateway will
ultimatsly be one of the most active intersections in this City. The
Planning and Zoning Commission has been concerned about the design and
flow of traffic in and around this area. They had requested a meeting
with City Council, but upon the advice of the Mayor, met with staff to
discuss their concerns and seek input from our traffic engineer. That
study and input was provided and the plan has now been approved.
We recommend that consideration of the following conditions be given to
granting approval of this plat:
Give consideration to moving the present extension of Bullock
Drive to line up with Howell Drive, and abandon the Bullock
extension as shown on the plat;
Give consideration to abandoning Southwestern right-of-way
where it adjoins present Denton Tap Road or making that one
lane, one-way west bound;
Give consideration to making the right-of-way for Gateway
Boulevard a minimum of 100 feet; and that consideration be
given to the applicant for a setback variance adjacent
Gateway Boulevard;

REQUEST:
Planning at Zoning Commission Chairman and Members
Taryon Bowm&n, P & Z Coordinator
Staff Report for Gateway Park at Coppell, Final Plat
Approval of Final Plat, Plans and Variances
HISTORY:
In 198Z, Gateway Business Park was approved by the City, but the
petitioner did not file the plat with Dallas County, and has been deemed
null and void. The original intent of the plat was to develop a rail-served
industrial park on this site.
April, 1980, the plat (total acreage of Zll.1) was refiled with the City.
On June 10, 1986, the preliminary plat was denied by the City Council.
At the petitioner's request, a work session was held with the City Council
for this project on October Z1, 198/).
During the work session, the offset intersection of Beltline Road, Denton
Tap Road and Southwestern Boulevard was discussed. Several alterations
regarding the road alignment of Southwestern Boulevard were considered.
Discussion was held by the City Council regarding alternatives for
improvements to this intersection. The general consensus of the City
Council was to extend Bullock into (the new proposed) Gateway Boulevard
and to leave Southwestern Boulevard as a two way road. No final decision
was made at this time.
The applicant filed a revised preliminary plat in November, 1980,
containing a total of 3ZS acres of land. On January 10, 1987, the
preliminary plat was approved with the stipulation that asphalt be replaced
with a concrete sheet at the time of construction of the development.
SPECIAL INFORMATION
TRANSPORTATION:
The site abuts Beltline Road (east-west and north-south) and the existing
Southwestern Boulevard. Du~ing the work session between the City Council
and the petitioner, several plans as to the outcome of Southwestern
Boulevard and Gateway Boulevard were discussed. The Comprehensive
Masterplan for Coppell indicates that (the proposed) Gateway Boulevard
is to be a six-lane divided thoroughfare for the extension of Beltline
Road.
UTILITIES
ANALYSIS
Staff requests that a stipulation be placed on the plat requiring the
construction of proposed Gateway Boulevard (segment from Beltline
Road to Metro Drive) and Metro Drive (segment from Gateway Boulevard
to Southwestern Boulevard) be completed by August ZZ, 1988, said date
being the contract completion date for the City's Beltline Road project.
This work is to be done under separate contract between the developer
and his contractor. The applicant has requested that the construction
of Phase I be completed one (1) year from the date of approval of the
final plat; however, staff requests that the developer adhere to the
contract date of August ZZ, 1988.
The developer has expanded Freeport Parkway to be shown as a fifty
foot (50') R.O.W. from the centerline of the street pavement. Staff;
however, requests an additional five feet (5'), since Freeport Parkway
is to be a major arterial with six lanes. The applicant argues that the
Comprehensive Masterplan indicates that Freeport Parkway is to be
a PD-6 (Primary six-lane divided roadway) with his portion being 50%
Staff argues that a six-lane divided roadway as described in the Subdivision
Ordinance, requires a total of 110' of R.O.W. Since the Subdivision
Ordinance is the City's established rules and regulations, and the
Masterplan was designed to provide guidance for the City's future
developments, the Subdivision Ordinance (which is signed by the Mayor
and adopted by the City) takes precedence over the Masterplan in the
opinion of staff.
Bullock Street is shown to be ZS' R.O.W. on the preliminary plat and
40' on the final plat for Gateway Park at Coppell; however, staff requests
that the R.O.W. to be shown as $0' with a street pavement width of Z8',
thus allowing medium size commercial trucks to travel onto Bullock
Street.
The Developer must escrow money to the City of Coppell for one-half
(¼) of Southwestern Boulevard and one-half (~4) of Cowboy Drive. This
amount is based on an assessment of $100.00 per linear foot of frontage.
Thus, $345,953.00 is required for Southwestern Boulevard, and $38Z,373.00
is required for Cowboy Drive. Therefore, a total of $736,966.00 is to
be escrowed to the City of Coppell. The Developer shall be assessed
for the actual cost of one-half (M) the roadway widths when construction
is completed and the escrow account shall be adjusted accordingly. The
owner wishes to have this requirement waived at this time.
Staff has requested particular water line easements of the applicant
and these easements have been added to the plat; however, the applicant
wishes to discuss the issue with the Planning and Zoning Commission
and the City Council.
The use and the development of this site will need to satisfy the Light
Industrial (LI) zoning requirements, as outlined in the Comprehensive
Zoning Ordinance for the City of Coppell. At this time, the individual
lot owner has not provided specific building layouts for this site; however,
as this site is sold off and developed, each developer must replat the
lot or lots. These lots must adhere to the Subdivision Ordinance which
is in force at the time of replat.
All applicable development codes for the City of Coppell (ordinances,
building permits, etc.) shall be enforced, and the individual lot owners
will be required to pay applicable fees prior to replatting. These fees
shall include, but not be limited to; Water & Sewer Availability, Sewer
Connection Fee, Water Tap Fee, the Construction Permit Fee and the
Filing Fees.
The Maintenance Agreement has been placed on the final plat. Staff
has reviewed ~he agreement, but requests that the owner include a note
on plat that the "Owners Association shall be required to maintain
Grapevine Creek R.O.W." and also to delete the information regarding
'... (with the exception only to the Grapevine Creek R.O.W. of which
the Owners Association shall provide the maintenance of )." Staff has
no objections to the City accepting the easement; however, we cannot
maintain any sloped area greater that 4:1. All slopes greater than 4:1,
would require special machinery to maintain those grassy areas.
As indicated on the final plat, the owner wishes to change the name
of the existing Gateway Boulevard to Airline Drive, and the street that
will connect to Beltline (east-west) will be called Gateway Boulevard.
The owners had requested that the name of Gateway Boulevard be changed
to Cotton Road, but now request the name to be Airline Drive.
VARIANCES REQUESTED
(a) R.O.W. of proposed Gateway Boulevard to be 85 feet as shown on
the final plat.
(b) Requesting the landscaping of the parkways to be completed as
the individual lots are developed.
(c) Requesting the appropriate site development fees to be paid as the
individual lots are developed.
(d) Additionally, the applicant requests that the City approve the name
change of Gateway Boulevard.
MAJOR ISSUES

Staff requests that a stipulation be placed on the plat requiring
the construction of the proposed Gateway Boulevard (segment
from Beltline Road to Metro Drive) and Metro Drive (segment

(6)
(8)
Owner to accomodate FEMA requirements for Grapevine Creek
Channel to enable their issuing a map revision.
