HISTORY: The original Planned Development was approved by City Council on
July 11, 1995.
TRANSPORTATION: State Highway 121 is a four-lane divided freeway to be built in a
450' foot right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- City Park; City of Grapevine
South - Business Park District "BP"; City of Grapevine
East - Vacant; Agriculture "A"
West - Single family residential "R-20"; City of Grapevine
Item# 7
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
light industrial/showroom uses.
DISCUSSION: The D/FW Trade Center Industrial Park is split by the city limit
lines of Coppell and Grapevine. The City of Coppell has an
agreement with the City of Grapevine, which requires us to have
zoning similar to Grapevine's Business Park District. The City of
Grapevine permits public utility distribution equipment within any
of its zoning districts by special use permit. Therefore, Coppell
can do the same without violating its agreement with Grapevine.
However, it requires an amendment to the Planned Development.
Lone Star Pipeline has a 50'-wide easement running northwesterly,
and southwesterly of Lot 1, Block 4. The company is proposing to
locate a gas measuring station within the easement. There is a 12'
drainage, utility and sidewalk easement adjacent to the 80'-wide
Freeport Parkway right-of-way and 80'-wide pavement. Lone Star
Pipeline indicates in this submittal that the measuring station lot has
been shifted north to compensate for the 10'-wide sidewalk and
utility easement. Staff requests that the lot be moved north an
additional 2' to avoid any kind of encroachment into the 1T-wide
easement.
The site plan shows the facility being screened on all four sides by
an 8'-high painted masonry wall to match the existing Building D
to the east. The masonry wall will be screened with a Nellie R.
Stevens holly hedge. A twelve-foot access gate is being provided
on the northwest elevation that can provide immediate access to the
facility in the event of an emergency. During the development
review process the fire marshal had requested a fire lane to the
facility. Based on the station's proximity to Freeport Parkway and
the size of the lot, the applicant requests that this requirement be
waived. Should an emergency occur, the applicant is of the
opinion the site could be easily accessed from the street.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
The planning staff recommends approval of the planned
development amendment subject to the following conditions being
met:
1) Move lot north an additional 2 feet to avoid any
encroachment into the 12'-wide easement.
2) Masonry wall will be painted to match Building D (Sherwin
Williams Pediment 2011).
Item # 7
3) Maintenance of foundation planting as shown, with planting
of a species capable of survival without an irrigation
system.
4) Compliance with Fire Department requirement or a written
waiver of fire lane requirement by the Fire Department.
5) Access gate to be provided prior to the placing of station in
operation. (See Fire Department comments)
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Recommend approval of the request
2) Recommend disapproval of the request
ATTACHMENTS: 1) Cover Letter addressing Development Review Comments
2) Lone Star Pipeline Letter Requesting Waiver of Fire Lane
3) Portion of Lot 1, Block 4, Final Plat
4) Plat Showing 2,500 sf tract

Re: Project PD-136R, DFW Trade Center.
To Whom it May Concern:
TU Pipeline Services which operates Lone Star Pipeline Company's natural gas transmission
pipelines in and around the City of CoppeH has applied for n special use permit to install a
natural gas metering station to provide additional volumes of natural gas to CoppelL The
location of the station is approximately twenty feet north of Freeport Parkway and
approximately 400 feet west of Patriot Drive. Among the staff comments was a request from
the fire marshal for a fire lane to the facility. Based on the station's proximity to Freeport
Parkway and the size of the lot we request that this requirement be waived. Should an
emergency occur, the site is easily accessed from the street. The other request, for an access
gate, is a normal part of any new facility. A twelve-foot access gate will be provided and can
be placed so as to provide immediate access in the event of an emergency.
TU Pipeline Services appreciates the opportunity to work with this committee to continue to
provide adequate service to the citizens of. Coppeil.
