P.D.-185-LI COPPELL INDUSTRIAl. ADDITION
(CHAMPION PARTNERS)
North side of W. Bethel Road, East of N. Royal Lane
1. You may want to delay this case one month because of the number of concerns
we have with this submittal including:
-a 1200 foot long industrial building (with possible expansion to 1900
feet) needs facade articulation to break up the mass of the building.
-because of the size of these buildings and recognizing the Postal Facility
included additional setbacks from property lines, it would be prudent to
consider greater landscape setbacks along Bethel Road. We suggest 50
feet with berms and extensive landscaping (Note: the Minyards facility
has generated criticism for its minimal setbacks and landscaping along
Bethel Road). Also consider additional landscaping and setbacks along
Creekview Drive (not Road). Sections of both Bethel Road and
Creekview Drive landscaping proposals (width of landscaping, height of
trees and building, berm, etc.) needed
-for public hearing purposes, exhibits will need to be reduced to 8 1/2 x.
11 size. Combine sheets L1-01,02,03 to one reduced exhibit; same with
all other submittals. Try to get exhibits L1-01,02,03 on one 24-x36
sheet
-Truck parking areas must be totally screened from public r.o.w.,
generally by solid masonry screening walls (see Section 33 of Zoning-
ordinance)
-Zoning ordinance requires office parking at 1:300; warehousing at
1:1000. It is your responsibility to justify less stringent guidelines,
which will be difficult to do
-Clearly identify exhibit Ll-03 (Perhaps LI.O1 can show how it relates
to L1-01,02,03)
-Our initial calculations show required perimeter landscaping at 97,680
square feet. I do not see that figure on any of your submittals
-Identify Building 1, Building 2, Phase I, Phase II, etc. on all exhibits;
make sure landscape architectural/architectural drawings all use same
notations throughout
-Site area, building area, parking area calculations do not match--staff
can not determine landscape requirements without consistent data!r
-monument signs can not exceed 60 square feet
-your landscape calculations need to clearly show: 1- interior landscape
required; 2- perimeter landscape required; 3-non-vehicular landscape
required
-all planting islands shall include at least one tree and contain shrubs,
lawn, and ground cover
-consideration should be given to retention vs. detention ponds because
of landscaping proposal
