RE: PD- 185, Coooell Industrial Addition
Dear Mr. Stewart:
This letter is to inform you that Case No. PD-185, Coppell Industrial Addition, a zoning change
request from LI (Light Industrial) to PD-LI (Planned Development, Light Industrial) to allow a
phased development of 2 office/warehouse facilities totaling 1,900,000 square feet of space on
approximately 100 acres of property, located along the north side of W. Bethel Road and 50' east
of N. Royal Lane, was approved by the Coppell City Council on Tuesday, May 9, 2000, subject
to the following conditions:
1) Parking for industrial area shall be one parking space for 5,000 square feet.
2) One monument sign not to exceed 125 square feet shall be allowed.
3) All rooftop mechanical equipment shall be screened from view, subject to approval
from the Fire Marshal (see attached memo from the Fire Marshal dated April 21,

In order to prepare an Ordinance, we need to assemble appropriate documentation. When this has
been completed and Council has approved the Ordinance, a copy will be sent to you.

SL?BJECT: Parapet Walls
This memorandum is to follow up our conversation last night, April 20, 2000 concerning requiring parapet
walls on the Champion project.
Given the width of the buildings (approximately 500 feet), the peak of the buildings will be approximately
six feet higher than the exterior walls. Both of these buildings will have an ESFR fire sprinkler system
which requires a mechanical smoke/heat removal system. By code, these exhaust fans will be required to
be placed on the roof of the building. On buildings this size, between 80 and 90 fans will be required. In
order to screen these fans from public view as stated in your staff.comments, a parapet wall would need to
be over six feet tall along the full length of the building. This height presents a serious safety problem for
firefighters. While the height would present access problems, the primary concern would be egress from
the roof for firefighters. The parapets, as required by Planning Staff, would prevent firefighters from safely
exiting the mol, possibly trapping the firefighters on the roof.
It is the Fire Departments recommendation that the wording of the staffcomments be modified to state that
"HVAC units shall be screened from public view on the North and South ends of the buildings". This re-
wording will effectively screen the larger air conditioning units from view and still leave the sides of the
structures open for safe access by the Fire Department.
If you need additional information or would like to discuss this fiather, please contact me at extension
3503.
