HISTORY: This property has been zoned industrial for more than 25 years. The
property was platted in 1984.
TRANSPORTATION: Royal Lane is a C4D/6 four-lane divided collector built to standard
in a 100'-wide right-of-way capable of accommodating a 6-lane
divided thoroughfare. Creekview Drive is a C2U two-lane
undivided collector built to standard within a 60'-wide right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- vacant; "LI" Light Industrial
South - vacant; "LI" Light Industrial
East - office/warehouse; "LI" Light Industrial
West - vacant; "LI" Light Industrial
Item# 17
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
light industrial and showroom uses.
DISCUSSION: Staffs main concem is that an off-site right-of-way dedication is required
for the future extension of Creekview Drive. The thoroughfare plan shows
the future Creekview Drive to be a C2U, 2 lane undivided thoroughfare to
be contained in a 60'-wide right-of-way connecting the existing Creekview
with Bethel Road to the south. The applicant is well aware of the situation
and is currently negotiating with the property owner to the west. Before a
plat is recorded with the County, an off-site right-of-way dedication must
be recorded and provided to the City. Engineering staff is receptive to
allowing the developer to build the full width of the future Creekview
Drive for half the length of the western property line of Lot 2, Block 2 and
would encourage the developer to straighten the alignment of Creekview
Drive. Eventually, when the property to the west develops, the full width
of the remaining portion of Creekview Drive will have to be built. Until
the off-site right-of-way dedication is recorded, Lot 2, Block A is not a
buildable lot because it does not abut a dedicated street or a private road.
Assuming that Lot 2, Block A is a buildable lot, the 386,150 sf
office/warehouse facility being proposed has 28 dock doors on the eastern
elevation and another 28 dock doors facing the future Creekview Drive.
By ordinance, loading areas facing the street need to be screened with a 6-
ft high screening wall. The applicant is requesting 10'-high Leyland
Cypress and 3'-high shrubs on top of berms approximately 4' in height, be
accepted in lieu of a 6'-high masonry screening wall. Also, planting
islands have been incorporated into staircases at the truck courts with one
Aristocrat Pear to be planted per island.
The landscape architect indicates in a letter dated December 7, 1999, that
the future right-of-way acquisition along Creekview Drive along the
western side of both sites is accurately depicted in the landscape plan in
accordance with the site plan. If the developer decides to straighten the
alignment of future Creekview it will impact the western landscape buffer
for a distance of approximately 500'. Currently, both the site plan and
landscape plan indicate the applicant is providing a 60'-wide landscape
buffer for the 500' of future frontage. According to staff's conversation
with the landscape architect, the landscape tabulations only reflect an
average of a 30'-wide landscape buffer being provided along future
Creekview Drive. The calculations do not reflect the extra landscaping
being proposed. If that is the case, the realignment of Creekview Drive
should not impact the landscape calculations, however, it will impact the
proposed berms and it will require some modifications to the proposed
living screen.
Item # 17
Approximately 90% of the interior space will be devoted to warehouse
space and the remaining 10% space will be used for office. Applicant is
providing 473 parking spaces as required by code. A word of caution, that
the site can not accommodate more than 37,200 sf of interior office space
without incurring a parking shortage.
The building elevations indicate a painted tilt wall structure in white and
light gray tones with gray tinted glass, very comparable to the Freeport V
building and the existing facilities in the Freeport North Industrial park.
The site plan shows a 60 square foot monument sign along the future
Creekview frontage. The sign identifies the building rather than the
tenants and has a gray tile sign face with black/silver letters with the logo
etched in a pre-cast stone.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Planning staff recommends approval of the site plan subject to the following
conditions being met:
1) Before the replat is recorded with Dallas County an off-site right-of-
way dedication for Creekview Drive should be recorded and provided
to the City.
2) The construction of the full width of the future Creekview Drive for
half the length of the westem property line of Lot 2, Block A and the
straightening of the alignment of Creekview Drive will need to be
coordinated with the Engineering Department. (See Engineering
Department comments)
3) Modify the living screen proposed to screen the track courts facing the
future Creekview Drive to accommodate the realignment of the future
Creekview Drive.
4) Obtain City Council approval for the living screen in lieu of a 6'-high
masonry screening wall for loading areas facing the future Creekview
Drive.
5) Limit interior office space to 37,200 sfor less.
6) Submittal and approval of a preliminary irrigation plan.
7) A 50% landscaping credit will be applied bringing the total retribution
due equaling 142 inches of trees. (See Leisure Services comments)
8) Approval of the color board specifying all exterior building materials.
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.

The Tree Survey indicates 284 caliper inches of protected trees to be removed with no
existing trees to remain on the site after development. Therefore, no preseroation
credits will be applied for those trees being removed. A 50% landscaping credit will be
applied bringing the total retribution due equaling 142 inches of trees.

Dear Isabel:
Per our telephone conversation, we have decided to retain the Leyland Cypress
trees on both Freeport VI and VII- instead of changing to Austdan Pines. There
is presently a disease affecting Austrian Pines in the mid-west U.S. and along
the east coast. This tree is therefore, not available at some nurseries and we are
not recommending its use in our design. Leyland Cypress is an excellent
screening tree, and it has been specified an installation height of 10 ff.
A fully automatic sprinkler system will be designed and installed by a licensed
irrigator as noted on all the planting sheets. This irrigation plan will be promptly
submitted for approval after the landscape plans are approved.
The future right-of-way acquisition along Creekview Drive along the western side
of both sites is accurately depicted in the plans in accordance to our
communication with the Architect. All berms and planting shown do not conflict
with this alignment.
Sincerely,
Linda Tycher, ASIA

Dear Madam/Sir,
Dukeweeks Realty Corporation is currently engaged in the design development of the
Freeport VII Building on Royal Lane at Creekview Drive in Coppell. We obtained City
Council Site Plan approval last year, and are now desiring to proceed with a slightly
modified version. I have enclosed both the previously approved City Council version,
along with the revised version for your review. We are seeking staff level approval of
the minor changes to the site plan and the plat.
The revised building is slightly smaller than the previously approved version, and the
facades with be similar in design and color to the recently completed FPV and VI
buildings. Brian Adams with SMR Landscape Design will be available to answer any
landscape ratio/greenspace questions that you may have. The landscape calculations are
based on our previous agreement with the City of Coppell that Dukeweeks will be able
to count the right-of-way dedicated to the extension of Creekview Drive in our
greenspace calculations. Also, we have maintained similar firelane locations so as to not
affect our existing plat.
Dukeweeks has been working with several tenants for this building, and based on the
timing of their occupancy requirements, we desire to start construction on this project in
January to facilitate their needs for August 2001 occupancy.
We appreciate your attention to this request and stand ready to answer any questions you
may have regarding this project.
Best regar?,
