North- vacant; LI- Light Industrial
South -Electric Switching Station; LI- Light Industrial
East - Single Family and vacant; SF-7 and R
West -vacant; LI- Light Industrial
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:

light industrial and showroom uses.
Item # 9
DISCUSSION:
The applicant desires to construct a 3,800 square foot office/warehouse on
this property to house Magnolia Fisheries, a company which installs
fountains. The site is currently heavily wooded, and contains an existing
frame house, and several out-buildings. Prior to the occupancy of the new
building proposed for this property, all existing structures will be
removed.
SITE PLAN/ELEVATIONS
The proposed building will contain a small office, warehouse space, and a
garage to park the company's vehicles. As illustrated in the elevations and
on the color board, the building will be 100% burgundy sand with black
face brick, with a dark green standing seam metal roof. The roll-up doors
will also be painted to match the roof color. The site plan also indicates 5
parking spaces; two spaces in the front of the building, and three in the
rear. This use does not have any walk-in traffic, therefore the parking is
generally for employees only. A concrete driveway in the northern
portion of the site is planned. The existing driveway at the southern end
will not be utilized and therefore needs to be indicated as eliminated on the
site plan. Finally, a pond and fountain are planned to be installed in front
of the new building. No attached or detached signage has been included
in this request. If signage is desired, then detailed information will be
required, including color, materials, fonts, etc. If signs are desired at a
later date, then a resubmission will be required.
TREE PRESERVATION
The location of the building, driveway and parking have been carefully
planned to preserve as many mature trees as possible. There are 309
caliper inches of trees on this property, including Pecan, Elm, Live Oak
and Hackberry trees. Per the Landscape Ordinance, 57 caliper inches
would be required to fulfill the perimeter, interior and non-vehicular
landscaping requirements. Per Section 12-34-7(G) of the Landscape
Ordinance, "Any trees preserved on a site meeting the herein
specifications shall be credited toward meeting the tree requirement of any
landscaping provisions of this section". Due to the placement of the
building, two trees will have to be removed with the initial construction.
However, there is a significant amount of overage in the preserved caliper
inches to serve as retribution for the loss of trees. If additional trees are
lost as this site develops, additional retribution may be required.
Item # 9
LANDSCAPE PLAN
The landscape plan indicates the preservation of existing trees and turf
(Bermuda Grass), the proposed pond and fountain (furore), and the
installation of Dwarf Chinese Holly to screen the parking lot from Coppell
Road. When the proposed pond and fountain are constructed, additional
landscaping and seasonal flowers will be planted to further enhance the
appearance of this property from Coppell Road.
Per the provisions of the Landscape Ordinance, approximately 33 % of the
site should be landscaped. At full build-out of this development, 67 % of
the site will be devoted to mature trees, grass, shrubs, and a fountain with
additional landscaping and seasonal color.
MINOR PLAT
This property has never been platted, therefore this Minor Plat establishes
this 0.773 acre lot. This plat provides for a 10-foot sidewalk and utility
easement along Coppell Road. There is also a substantial Brazos Electric
Power Easement along the rear of the property which is illustrated on the
plat. The fire lane needs to be established by this plat. Additional
specification of the location of the entire fire lane, including metes and
bounds description needs to be included.
Finally, this property is currently served by a septic tank system, due to
the lack of sanitary sewer lines in close proximity to this site. The
continued use of this system is subject to approval of the Chief Plumbing
Official. A determination has to be made if this system can reasonably be
expected to function in a sanitary manner for the proposed use. Therefore,
as detailed in the attached comments from the Building Inspection
Deparunent, an on-site soils testing will be required prior to the
submission of any design documents for this use. If the result of the soil
testing is negative, connection to a sanitary sewer line will be mandated.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of this subject to: Site Plan Conditions:
1) Elimination of the southern curb cut onto Coppell Road.
2) Tree Removal Permit will be required prior to the removal of any trees.
3) The preservation techniques called out in the Tree Preservation Ordinance must be
followed for these trees designated to be preserved on site. If trees are removed
or damaged in addition to those already designated, retribution may be due for
those trees.
Item # 9
4) No attached or detached signs shall be permitted.
Minor Plat Conditions:
1) Addition of the metes and bounds description of the fire lane needs to be included on
the plat.
2) Prior to the submission of a building permit, an on-site soils testing report must be
prepared by a state licensed professional, trained in septic system design, and
approved by the Chief Plumbing Official to determine the suitability of the existing
septic system to serve the proposed use. If the result of the soil testing is negative,
connection to a sanitary sewer line will be mandated.
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.
