RE: Point West VII/Lot 2, Block A
Construction Plan Review Comments
Dear Mr. Evans:
The City of Coppell has reviewed the plans for the referenced development and has the
following comments to offer:
I. Please provide a plat with the next submittal.
Sheet C 1.2
2. It appears that at the northeast comer of the proposed building the fire lane goes into a
reverse curve and narrows down to approximately 20 feet. Please reevaluate the fire lane
configuration to ensure that fire apparatus can maneuver through the fire lane.
Sheet C 1.4
3. There appears to be some confusion about the dimensions of the parking lot on the southeast
comer of the proposed structure.
Sheet C 2.1
4. Reference View 'A-A': Sheet C 3.2 shows the flow line of the 42" discharge pipe to be at
530, yet View 'A-A' shows the normal water surface to be at 526.5. Please review these
elevations and make necessary corrections.
Sheet C 3.1
5. The truck court areas, both on the north and south side of the proposed structure, are being
used as potential detention basins. Please show the fire lanes in the drawing and provide
additional information on how deep the water is being stored within the fire lanes when the
truck courts are being used for detention. There could be a problem if the fire lanes are
completely submerged.
Sheet C 3.2
6. This comment pertains to the same comment as Sheet C 2.1.

Sheets C 3.3, C 3.4, C 3.5
7. Please provide profiles for the on site drainage system.
Sheet C 5.1
8. If you are going to request a waiver of lime beneath the pavement, a letter should be provided
to my office for approval. Also, with the waiver of the lime, the City of Coppell requires an
additional I" thickness on paving and a 4000-psi strength concrete.
Sheet C 5.2
9. Please remove any detail that is contained within the City's standard detail set. The
contractors are required to have a copy of the City's latest Standard Construction Details on
site during construction. Also, Detail #8 needs to be corrected.
Fire Department Comments
Sheet C 1.1
1. Please ensure that there is adequate room in the 45.5-foot deep trailer-parking stalls so that
the trailers and/or trucks do not hang over into the adjacent fire lane.
Sheet C 4.4
2. The proposed location of the Fire Department connection should be relocated away from the
driveway. Please coordinate with the Fire Marshal.
3. Please comment as to why there are no fire hydrants within 3-6 feet of the proposed fire lane
on the south side of the building.
4. Ensure that the FDC is designed as indicated in our standards.
For any questions concerning the comments generated by the Fire Department, please contact
Tim Oates at 972/304-3512. For any additional clarification or discussion concerning the
engineering comments, please feel free to contact me.
Once these comments have been addressed, please resubmit this marked up copy along with two
additional sets for a second review.
