COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The 1987 Plan showed Town Center.
DISCUSSION:
The 'TC' Town Center District is intended to provide for a wide variety of office, retail and
residential uses for the purpose of creating a focal point to the City of Coppell. A bank
certainly serves as the community's center of activity.
The Town Center District does not require front, side and rear yard setbacks. For construction
purposes the building may be located anywhere on the site and trees removal is permitted
without replacement. The site is heavily wooded with numerous large caliper post oak trees.
The siting of the proposed building and placement of parking spaces has carefully considered
the location of numerous trees worthy of preservation.
In the interior areas of the parking lot the applicant has provided planter islands which he is not
required to do because the size of the proposed parking lot is less than 35,000 sq. ft. The
number of parking spaces provided far exceeds city requirements. The landscape plan is
showing four extra parking spaces on the eastern property line paralleling Sandy Lake Road
which are not shown on the site plan.
The applicant should be commended for providing a very attractive site plan and landscape plan
which establishes a relationship with the corner of an intersection in one of the city's primary
image zones.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat subject to the following conditions being met:
The four parking spaces shown on the eastern property line paralleling Sandy Lake
Road be removed from the landscape plan and the existing trees in that location be
The proposed mutual access easement and fire lane should be a minimum of 24' in width.
Eliminate the proposed 20' drainage easement, on Lot 1 only, because the 18" RCP is
a private system.
Provide an easement for the proposed off-site sanitary sewer-line.
