HISTORY: City Council approved a preliminary plat for the entirety of DFW
Trade Center on July 11, 1995, granting approval authority for the
final plat to the Planning and Zoning Commission. The
Commission approved the final plat and site plan for Lot 2, Block
5, on December 18, 1997. Council approved the site plan on
January 13, 1998. The applicant had until June 18, 1998 to file
the final plat for record with Dallas County.
TRANSPORTATION: Patriot Drive is a 41'-wide undivided street within a 60'-wide
right-of-way, which intersects with Freeport Parkway, a 4-lane

Item # 15
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
Northwest - Office/Warehouse (Buildings D & E); PD
Southeast- Vacant; PD
Northeast - City of Grapevine park land; A
Southwest - Vacant; PD
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
light industrial/showroom uses.
DISCUSSION: As a result of unanticipated delays coordinating fire protection issues and
associated easements between the Cities of Coppell and Grapevine, the
applicant was unable to file the plat within the original six month period.
The applicant is requesting an additional six month extension to file the
plat with Dallas County.
Staff would like to remind the applicant that the Site Plan was approved by
Coppell City Council on January 14, 1998, with a condition of approval
that any expansion to the truck court or building will have to comply with
the Landscaping Ordinance. According to staff calculations any addition
of 48,000 square feet of vehicular pavement in front of the building would
violate that requirement. Therefore, the size of any future truck court or
parking area, including the fire lane must be limited to no more than
approximately 65,000 square feet. We point this out because the
applicant's drawings show a proposed future truck court of over 90,000
s.f.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
The planning staff recommends approval of the request for extension of the final plat, until
December 14, 1998 subject to a limitation on the size of any future truck court or parking area,
including the fire lane, of no more than approximately 65,000 square feet.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Recommend approval of the request
2) Recommend disapproval of the request
3) Recommend modification of the request
4) Take under advisement for reconsideration at a later date.
ATTACHMENTS: 1) Request for extension letter
2) January 14, 1998 approval letter from the City of Coppell

Dear Ms. Moro:
I am writing to you on behalf of Industrial Developments International, Inc. to request a six month
extension of Plat Approval for Lot 2, Block 5, D/FW Trade Center (Building "F", D/FW Trade
Center).
We were unable to file the plat within the original six month period as a result of unanticipated
delays coordinating the fire protection issues and associated easements between the Cities of Coppell
Grapevine. These issues have been resolved and we are ready to file the Final Plat.
Should you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Goodwin & Marshall
