RE: PD-157, Valley Ranch Plaza
Dear John:
This letter is to inform you that Case No. PD-157, Valley Ranch Plaza, zoning change from LI
(Light Industrial) to PD-C (Planned Development-Commercial) to allow the development of a
3,278 square foot drive-through restaurant and a separate 19,200 square foot retail/restaurant
building, located at the southwest comer of Beltline Road and MacArthur Boulevard, was
recommended for approval by the Coppell Planning and Zoning Commission on Thursday, July
18, 1996, subject to the Site Plan and the following conditions:
1) The use of the building materials as shown to the Planning and Zoning
Commission on July 18th;
2)
revision of the landscape plan as follows: three (3) additional over-story trees on
the west side of the proposed McDonald's Restaurant, one (1) over-story tree on
the southeast comer of McDonald's in place of the three crepe myrtles, one
additional crepe myrtle added to the back of McDonald's, two (2) over-story trees
added to the center landscape section of the parking area in front of the
retail/restaurant building, two (2) areas of bushes added to each end of the same
center landscape section, and one (1) additional over-story tree on the south side
of the property between Wendy's and the proposed Valley Ranch Plaza;
3)
the allowance of the monument sign as submitted for the retail/restaurant building
and an additional monument sign for the McDonald's which would be less than
40 square foot; both signs must meet all City requirements for signage;
4)
revision of the east elevation of the McDonald's building to show removal of the
window sign from the glass;
5)
limitation of restaurant usage on the property (including ice cream, yogurt, bagel,
sandwich, coffee, deli shops, and the like) to a total of 15,900 square feet of
interior space and 800 square feet of exterior patio area;
6) no outside storage shall be allowed;
7) all roof top mechanical equipment must be screened, and
8)
compliance with Engineering Department recommendations as follows:
(a) The location of fire hydrants needs to be approved by the Fire
Department;
(b) drainage needs to be coordinated with the Dallas County Engineer for
Beltline Road;
(c) provision of an off-site drainage map showing that the drainage system in
MacArthur Boulevard is designed to handle drainage from this
development; and
(d) provision of a drainage area map showing hydraulic calculations.
For your information, the Engineering Department would like to remind you that Impact Fees
will be required and because of the existing traffic congestion at the Tom Thumb/Wendy's
driveway, suggests that you may want to initiate a meeting between Tom Thumb, Wendy's,
McDonald's, the owner(s) of the remaining property, and the City to discuss traffic flow and
a possible signal light.
The date scheduled for consideration by the Coppell City Council is Tuesday, August 13, 1996,
at 7:30 p.m. A representative for this case must be present at this meeting. Failure to represent
this item may result in the denial of this application. We would appreciate receiving seventeen
(17) copies of your revised Landscape Plan by Thursday, August 1st, in order to present your
proposal to Council in a clear manner.
If you have any questions, please contact me at (214) 304-3675.
Sincerely,
Pert Virtanen
