COFFELL Agency Fire Administration Parks and Recreation Planning Department Reviewed By Travis Crump John Elias Andrea Roy CITY OF COPPELL DRC REPORT Review Date Comments 3/27/03 COFFELL The proposal as shown is unacceptable. 3/26/03 3/27/03 1. If the canopy/roof of the drive through and the bank are tied together, then both will be required to be protected by a full NFPA compliant automatic fire sprinkler system. 2. The minimum inside radius for fire lanes is 30 feet. The minimum outside radius is 54 feet. 3. A minimum of one on-site fire hydrant is required. The hydrant is required to be between 3 -6 feet from a fire lane. Maximum spacing for fire hydrants is 300 feet center to center as measured along the fire lane. 4. A mutual access agreement will be required for the shared fire lane. Site Plan 1. Within the Site Criteria Table, provide square footage of drive-thru area under the noted 4,200-sq. ft. building area. 2. Within the Site Criteria Table, revise lot coverage percent to include the drive thru area. 3. For reference purposes, please indicate the name of the subdivision in the site plan title block. 4. Eliminate utility information from site plan sheet for clarity purposes and provide on separate preliminary utility plans, 5. Indicate where all mechanical units are proposed to be placed and label accordingly. Please note that all mechanical units, including TXU/Oncor transformers, switch boxes, etc. must be screened from view with either a solid screening wall or heavy landscaping. 6. Relocate the proposed monument sign out of the 15' perimeter landscape area and show on site plan and landscape plan. 7. The proposed project must comply with Section 12-33-1 (Location of required screening), which states: "Where the side, rear, or service side of an apartment, or the side, rear, or service side of a non-residential use is adjacent to a single-family or two-family district, a screening wall not less than six feet in height shall be erected separating the use from the adjacent residential district." Because an existing brick column and wrought iron fence currently exists between the subject properly and the single-family district, the applicant must retrofit the existing fence by replacing the wrought iron with solid brick. For reference, you may review the nearby Jack In The Box and U-Haul projects, which both modified the existing fence to comply with the screening requirement. Landscape Plan 8. Orient Landscape Plan sheet with nodh facing up, as is done with the site plan sheet. 9. Show entire fire lane along the north property line. 10. Remedy inconsistencies between the landscape plan and the site plan, specifically the handicapped spaces and pedestrian walkway. 11. Ensure there is not a conflict with the proposed tree COFPELL Agency Reviewed By CITY OF COPPELL DRC REPORT Review Date COFFELL Comments placement and underground utilities at the southwest corner of the site. 12, Indicate the dimension of the southern property line so that perimeter landscaping can be checked accurately. *Please Note: The following comments relate to the landscaping calculations and the provided level of landscaping on the proposed plan. Each landscape requirement must be met separate from the other. So, the Perimeter, Interior, and Non-Vehicular are three separate requirements and landscaping provided for one category can not count toward another category. 13. Revise Perimeter Landscaping. As shown, 19 trees are required and 19 are provided. However, staff calculations indicate that 20 trees are required and only 15 are provided. Perimeter Landscaping is shod 5 trees. 14. Breakdown calculations of Perimeter Landscaping on sheet, showing the number of trees required along each property line. Property Line Dimension # of trees ReqJProv. West 123.4' (driveways are deducted) 3/3 Nodh 220.8' 5/None East 294.8' 6/6 South 284.57' 6/6 Total 20/15 (The north property line dimension represents a deduction of the three driveways crossing through the perimeter landscaping, with the maximum deduction of 25' taken for the drive-thru). 15. Revise Interior Landscaping. As shown, 8 trees are required and 11 are provided. However, staff calculations indicate that only 6 are provided. Interior Landscaping is short 2 trees. If 10% of the paving is 3,080, then 1 tree must be provided per each 400 sq. fi., equaling 8 trees. 16. Revise Non-Vehicular Open Space. As shown, 3 trees are required and 15 are provided. However, staff calculations indicate that only 1 tree is provided. Non-Vehicular Open Space is shod 2 trees. 17. Please prepare an open space exhibit, clearly showing the land area that is dedicated to the separate categories; Perimeter, interior, and Non-Vehicular, As proposed, it does not appear that the layout dedicates sufficient space to these categories. When doing this, note that although the northern perimeter is covered by the fire lane, this perimeter area must be present on the site. If requested, staff will forward 8 sample exhibit for guidance. Elevations/Signage COPPELL Agency Reviewed By CITY OF COPPELL DRC REPORT Review Date Comments COPPELL 18. Provide a note on the elevations indicating compliance with Section 12-23-5.2, which states: "Where as architectural feature extends above the roof line, and is visible from a public right-of-way, then the back side of this feature shall be finished of a materiat that is of the same or similar material as the front of this feature, i.e. bdck.." This would apply to the projecting architectural feature on the front of the building. 19. If the applicant wishes for the proposed stone material to be counted within the 80 percent masonry, it must be closer to an earth tone color. Please review the wording of Section 12-23-5.1, which states: "Masonry is further defined as brick and stone of earth tone colors, other brick colors shall be permitted as accent provided that, in combination, accent materials and non-masonry materials do not exceed the 20 percent non-masonry benchmark on any one fagade." If the applicant would provide a more cream-colored stone, it could be included within the 80 percent masonry requirement, instead of an accent material, which it presently would be classified as. 20. Revise proposed attached signage to comply with the following criteria: "Attached signs shall consist of individually mounted channel letters in white, ivory, black or neutral colors. Raceways shall match the color of the materials to which they are mounted. All illumination shall be limited to white or off-white. Logos in any color shall be permitted, but shall not exceed 20 percent of the area of the sign". Please provide the calculations indicating compliance with the 20% threshold. 21. Revise the size of the proposed Monument Sign to comply with Sec. 12-29-4 (2.B.ii), with a maximum size of 40 sq. ft., not to exceed 4' in height, 22.
