Item # 7
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
mixed uses.
DISCUSSION:
This property was platted 6 years ago with a shared 24' fire lane and access
easement along the south property line. When Dr. Gemoules' property was
developed, a portion of the 24'-wide shared access easement was paved.
At that time, the 10' wide landscape buffer requirement on either side of
the shared driveway was not part of city code. The property in question is
an irregular shaped parcel of land with a densely treed area on the rear
third of the property, as well as an existing driveway on its property. The
observance of a 1 O'-wide landscape buffer immediately to the north of the
existing driveway would make this property undevelopable for office,
retail and/or commercial purposes. Therefore, the applicant must seek a
variance from the Board of Adjustment with regards to the 10'-wide
perimeter landscaping buffer requirement. In addition, as this project is a
nonresidential use adjacent to a single-family residential district, the
zoning ordinance calls for a screening wall not less than 6 feet in height
separating the use from adjacent residential. As there is a creek separating
this property from the adjacent homes and the rear third of the property is
densely treed, the applicant is requesting that the screening wall be
waived. Staff supports the request; however, the applicant will have to
seek a screening wall variance also from the Board of Adjustment.
The building elevations indicate an attractive office structure with a
residential style of architecture. The exterior building materials show a
combination brick and stone faqade. The submitted brick sample is a
burgundy sand, an earth-toned color brick, the stone sample is a white
stone, and the roof is a lusterless rustic black laminated asphalt shingle.
Staff requests that the color of the exterior building materials should be
specified on the elevation drawings.
The landscape plan needs to be modified. As submitted, the number of
trees shown on the plan does not meet code. The plan shows 11 trees
being planted but the applicant is required to have 19 trees on site. As the
tree survey is still incomplete, it is unclear how many trees will be
preserved. Staff is corrfident that the applicant will be able to offset the
outstanding tree requirement with the number of trees being preserved on
site. However, the landscape tabulations need to be altered. As Denton
Tap Road is a primary image zone, the perimeter tree ratio for Denton Tap
is 1 tree :for every 40 feet of frontage. Also,~ the required non-vehicular
open space landscape requirement is 6,302 sf. The project tabulation on
the Site Plan must match the information presented on the landscape plan.
The site coverage percentage must reflect building and pavement, not
building alone. The site plan shows a different sidewalk configuration by
the main entry to the building on the eastern elevation. There are
inconsistencies regarding the location of the handicap parking along the
southern elevation of the driveway. The landscape plan should be
Item # 7
modified to reflect the fountain and plant features and the parking
configuration on the site plan. Also, staff requests an elevation of the
proposed fountain.
Lastly, the proposed signage is shown to be a 28 square foot momunent
sign along Denton Tap Road. The sign is brick with a cap stone cap. Four
cast stone plaques are shown for tenant names. Staff would rather see a
sign identifying the building, not the businesses. Planning and Zoning
Commission will be asked to make a determination on the appropriateness
of the tenant names on the sign.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends approval of the Site Plan subject to the following conditions being met:
1) Granting of the landscape and screening variances by the Board of Adjustment.
2) Submit a tree survey for staff review and approval.
3) Indicate color of all exterior building materials on the building elevations.
4) Modify the landscape plan to incorporate the following changes:
a) Reflect the 1 tree per 40 linear feet for the Denton Tap frontage in the
landscape tabulations.
b) The required non-vehicular open space landscape requirement is 6,302 sr.
c) Match site plan configuration of the sidewalk by the main entry to the
building on the eastern elevation, as well as the location of the handicap
parking along the southern elevation of the driveway.
d) Incorporate the fountain and plant features proposed on the site plan and
submit a fountain elevation for staff review and approval.
5) Project tabulations on the Site Plan must match the information presented on the
landscape plan.
6) Monument sign should identify the building only.

ITEM: Creek View Office Building, Phase 1I, Site Plan Review
DRC DATE: May 27, 1999 and June 3, 1999
CONTACT: Brad Reid, Park Planning and Landscape Manager
COMMENT STATUS: PRELIMINARY F4NAg P~V!SED
The tree survey for this property shows a total of 902 inches of trees on the site. The
drawings show that development is removing 396" of trees from the site. Development
is preserving 506' of trees, allowing a preservation credit of 56%. The total caliper
inch of tree removed requiring mitigation is 174 inches.
The landscape plan shows the addition of 15' of new trees to the site. This will reduce
the number of caliper inches requiring mitigation to 159 inches.
The Tree Preservation Ordinance allows for the replanting of new trees to mitigate this
loss or the payment of $100 per caliper inch to the Coppell Reforestation and Natural
Areas Fund.
Please provide an executed Tree Removal Permit prior to removing trees from the site.
