On January 10, 1996, City Council approved a replat for 26.76 acres of
this 33.2 acre tract of land. The plat never was recorded with Dallas
County. This was the original site Haverty Furniture Company
considered for its office/retail/distribution facility in Coppell before
locating its facility on Gateway Boulevard.
TRANSPORTATION:
Beltline Road is an existing 6-lane divided major arterial in a 120'
wide right-of-way. Lakeshore Drive is an existing C2U, two-lane
undivided road built to standard in a 60-foot right-of-way.

vacant; "A" Agriculture and "LI" Light Industrial
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property suitable for
light/industrial showroom uses.
DISCUSSION:
Staff would like to commend the applicant for the overall design of the
project. Orienting trucks courts away from the major thoroughfares,
limiting the use of exposed aggregate walls to portions of the building
concealed from arterials, and extensively landscaping both the perimeter
and the interiors of the site greatly enhances the aesthetics of the overall
project and creates a highly-appealing work environment.
At the Development Review Committee, staff suggested that the applicant
modify the percentages of office space indicated for each building to
match the provided parking spaces. Currently, if the maximum office
percentages were applied to each building, the applicant is short 18
parking spaces. The only other recourse the applicant would have is to
obtain from the Board of Adjustment a special exception for the number
of parking spaces.
The zoning ordinance requires that planting islands shall be separated by
no more than 15 parking spaces and the islands must contain at least one
tree. The landscape plan does not show the planting islands for some of
the elevations of Buildings "D" and "C", and trees must be planted in the
planting islands.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends approval of the replat and the site plan subject to the following
conditions:
1)
Modify the percentages of office space indicated for each building to
match the provided parking spaces.
2) Provide planting islands every 15 parking spaces.
3) Provide at least one tree each for all planting islands.
4) Overhead power lines along Beltline Road be removed, if possible.
Item # 6
5) Compliance with Engineering comments.
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.

PUBLIC HEARING: To consider the approval of Replat and Site Plan of a Portion
of Northlake 635 Bu._~n_~_s Park, (Coppell Bo~ness Center H, Lot 1~ Block 1), to
create a single lot that will allow the development of four warehouse/distribution
facilities on 33.2 acres of property located at the southwest corner of Lakeshore
Drive and Beltline Road, at the request of Halff Associates, Inc.
Planning and Zoning Coordinator Isabelle Moro introduced the item to the Commission,
showing an exhibit and giving a brief history of the property, stating that this was the
original site that Havertys considered for its office/retail/warehonse distribution facility
before locating to Gateway Boulevard. She stated that the applicant is proposing to
build four separate buildings, totalling approximately 530,000 square feet -- the two
buildings fronting Beltline Road will house more office space and the interior buildings
will house more warehouse/distribution space. Ms. Moro stated that over-all, the layout
of this proposal is acceptable, however, the zoning requirement calls for planter islands,
which contain at least one tree, to be located every 15 parking spaces, and these planter
islands need to be added to Buildings C&D. She also stated that the applicant needs to
match the percentage of planned office space to the parking spaces shown on the Site
Plan. Ms. Moro stated that Staff recommends approval of the proposal, subject to the
five conditions as listed on the Staff Report. A color rendering of the exterior facade
of the building was shown to the Commission.
Some discussion followed.
Pat Acker, Halff Associates, Inc., 8616 Northwest Plaza Drive, Dallas, TX 75225, was
present to represent this item before the Commission and answer any questions. He
stated that the only Staff comment of concern is Condition No. 4 relative to the
overhead power line removal.
Discussion followed pertaining to the power lines and drainage easement.
Chairman Lowry opened the Public Hearing, asking for people present who wanted to
speak in favor of this request to come forward. Those speaking in favor were:
There were none.
Chairman Lowry then asked for people present who wanted to speak in opposition to
this request to come forward.

Re: Block B, Lot 1, Replat of Part of Northlake 635 Business Park
Dear Ms. Moro:
As requested please find attached Block B, Lot 1, replat of part of Northlake 635
Business Park for presentation at the October 14 City Council Meeting.
The plat is as presented at the September 18 P&Z meeting. Based on our
conversation with Mr. Tim Brancheau of TU Electric, the overhead electric lines along
the west side of Beltline Road will be relocated to the east side of Beltline Road in the
future. Additional easement space is not anticipated at this time.
We will continue to coordinate this project with TU Electric as the design is
completed.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. If you have any
questions or require any additional information, please contact Mr. Pat Acker or myself at
(214) 739-0094.
Very truly yours,
HALFF ASSOCIATES, INC.
