Center and the YMCA. In 2001, a Site Plan Amendment was
Item # 7
approved which allowed for a 775-square-foot building addition and
a 734-square-foot covered patio.

DISCUSSION:
Page 2 of 4
This request is to amend the existing Site Plan to allow a 4,028-square-
foot expansion of the Coppell Justice Center. As indicated on the Site
Plan, two 390-square-foot recesses are now being enclosed and a 3,250-
square-foot addition to the south is being proposed. This expansion area
will provide more office space for the Police Department. The building
materials on this expansion will match the existing building, including red
and reddish brown brick, buff color cast stone and CMU veneer, and green
metal.
The addition/renovation will impact the existing parking configuration.
There are 11 spaces on the east side of the existing building that will need
to be relocated within the existing parking area. In coordinating with the
Parks Department and the conceptual Plaza Plans (east of this site), it was
determined that four spaces on the far east side of the parking lot will also
need to be eliminated and provided for elsewhere within the existing
parking lot. There are a few changes needed to the proposed parking
configuration currently shown on the Site Plan. The proposed parking
spaces just east of Town Center Boulevard xvill need to be moved to the
existing paving area on the east side of the parking lot, adjacent to where
the dumpster is currently shown. There will be nine 9'x 17' potential
spaces in this location. The dumpster will also need to be relocated on-site.
An additional parking lot (33 spaces) is shown on the Fire Department
expansion plans to mirror the existing parking lot. It will serve the Justice
Center, Fire Department, Town Center building and the proposed Plaza
area.
Item # 7
The Landscaping Plan will be modified in places where building
renovation/expansion or infill parking is proposed. Trees will be provided
at the end of each parking row and a landscaping screen of the parking
area will be provided as a part of the Plaza project. A replat will be needed
for the abandonment of various easements. This will be considered as an
Amending Plat and will be submitted for Administrative Approval in the
near future.
