Dear Ms. Diamond:
Please find attached a zoning application form, a revised conceptual site plan, and a revised landscape tabulation plan for the
Duke Freeport Addition, which is our 142-acre development north of the intersection of Freeport Parkway and Bethel Road.
As Jeff Turner and I discussed with you on March 15, 2002, we are submitting this application to amend the PD in order to
revise the required warehouse parking ratios for the lots labeled Lot 3 and Lot 4 on the site plan. A specific site plan and
replat are being submitted concurrently with this PD submittal for a new building now being planned for LOt 4.
We amended this PD last fall in order to address signage standards and to modify the warehouse parking ratio on Lot 1.
This ratio on Lot 1 was reduced from 1 parking space per 1,000 square feet of warehouse space to 1: 5,000, provided that
the 1:1,000 standard can be met while adhering to the landscape ordinance if more spaces are needed in the future.
Coppell's office parking standard, which is 1 parking space per 300 square feet of office space, remains unchanged in the
PD.
Duke requested the previous PD revision because we have determined that our typical tenants in Coppell and elsewhere do
not need as many parking spaces for warehouse personnel as the 1:1,000 ratio requires. This is tree for the tenant we expect
to occupy the new building on Lot 4, and the revised, reduced size of LOt 3 makes it likely that we will market it to low
parking users in order to provide sufficient building area on the site. On both lots, however, we would be able to increase
parking to meet the 1:1,000 warehouse parking requirement and comply with the landscaping ordinance if more spaces are
needed in the future.
Our consultants have prepared plans to indicate parking and landscape conditions under both the 1:5,000 and the 1:1,000
warehouse parking conditions. The 1:5,000 plans have drawing numbers A. 1 and L1.01, respectively, and the 1:1,000 plans
are numbered A.I-ALT and L1.01-ALT. The 1:1,000 plans are submitted for your information so you can verify that the
parking and landscape requirements could be met in the future if needed; we would like the 1:5,000 plans to serve as the
actual PD documents as the application is processed. This is the same procedure we followed during last fall's PD process.
We are also curious about the requirements for placing flagpoles at the Bethel Road entrance to the development, but we
have not addressed that on these plans. Any guidance you could offer us about how this might also be addressed in this
application would be appreciated. If you have any questions or comments about the contents of the submittal or our request,
please call me at (972)361-6714.
As always, thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
Brook Barefoot
