RE: D/FW Trade Center, Lot 2, Block 5, Site Plan
Dear Madam/Sir:
This letter is to inform you that the D/FW Trade Center, Lot 2, Block 5, Site Plan, to allow the development of
a 493,697 square foot warehouse/distribution facility on 22.513 acres of property located east of Freeport
Parkway, along the south side of Patriot Drive in the D/FW Trade Center Industrial Park, was approved by the
Coppell City Council on Tuesday, January 14, 1998, subject to the following conditions:
1) Indicate on the Site Plan and Landscape Plan that a variance was approved by City Council to
allow a 3 foot high berm with living screen on top instead of a 6 foot high masonry wall.
2) When expansion of the truck court or building is deemed necessary, the applicant shall comply
with the Landscaping Ordinance.
As a matter of information, an addition of the fire lane parallel to Patriot Drive for the purpose of providing
adequate fire protection coverage to the front of the building, removed approximately 17,000 square feet of
landscaping from the total of 224,558 square feet shown on Sheet L1 of your submission documents. At the
same time, it increased the amount of interior vehicular landscaping required by 1,700 square feet, thereby
reducing the amount of non-vehicular landscaping as shown on Sheet L1 from 145,536 to approximately
126,836 square feet. According to Staff calculations, the minimum amount of non-vehicular landscaping which
must be provided is approximately 74,042 square feet. In developing the future truck court or parking lot in
front of the building, any addition of more than approximately 48,000 square feet of vehicular pavement would
violate that requirement. Therefore, the size of any future track court or parking area, including the fire lane,
must be limited to no more than approximately 65,000 square feet. We point this out to you because your
drawings show a proposed future truck court of over 90,000 square feet.
If you have any questions, please contact us at (972) 304-3675.
