Comments
No floor plan, occupancy or construction detail
information received. No Inspection comments could
be made
Site Plan Acceptable
1. Show all existing driveway adjacent and opposite to
this property. All opposing driveways must either align
or be a minimum of 125' offset.
2. The western driveway on Burns Street is too close to
Freeport Parkway.
3. Minimize the number of taps to the water main. If the
lifeline completely loops the development, only two fire
vaults and two taps to the main will be needed.
4. More detailed drainage calculations and detention
pond information is needed.
5. While sidewalks are not required at this time, ADA
ramps must be constructed at the driveways and street
intersections.
6. The fireline should remain private internal to the site.
7. Check the lateral separation of the domestic water
line and the 4" sanitary sewer service.
1. An additional fire hydrant is required along the fire
lane on the North side of the project. Place hydrant
between 3 - 6 feet from a fire lane.
2. The Fire Department Connection (FDC) can not be
located on the structure. Place the FDC between 3 - 6
feet from the fire lane, within 50 feet of a hydrant and on
the same side of the fire lane as the hydrant.
Suggest changing the screening material on both sides
of truck bays from Foster Holly to Nellie R. Stevens
Hollies. Although Foster Holly is on the city plant
plaette, Nellie R. Stevens is much more durable and
drought tolerant.

Comments
Site Plan
1. The name of the project may remain as Royal
Park-Coppell, however, the legal description needs to
be "Coppell Commerce Center, LotlR, Block 3".
2. The parking parallel to Freeport Parkway contains 11
spaces, but is noted as 10. Please revise the parking
count on this parking run as well as in the Data Table.
3. The parking on the east side of the building, both
proposed and future, does not meet requirement that
"that planting islands within a single row of parking
shall be separated by no more than 15 parking
spsces".
4. It appears that several of the landscape islands in the
parking areas are less than the required width of 9 feet
and 150 square feet in area.
5. Provide an elevation of the proposed screening wall
parallel to Freeport Parkway, including materials and
colors. It is recommended that wing walls be added
perpendicular to the building to further screen the
loading areas from Freeport Parkway.
6. The proposed driveway 35 feet from Freeport
Parkway is not acceptable, either is the off-set of
driveway from Burns.
7. Label Hammond Street.
Landscape Plan
1. Indicate proposed landscape screening around the
proposed transformer.
2. Several landscape islands in the parking areas
appear to be less than the required width of 9 feet and
150 square feet in area, and are missing the required
overstory tree.
3. The parking on the east side of the building, both
proposed and future, does not meet requirement that
"that planting islands within a single row of parking
shall be separated by no more than 15 parking
spaces".
4. Along southern property line, 22 trees are required, to
fulfill the requirements of perimeter landscaping, and
only 21 trees are shown.
5. The symbol for Elaegnus needs to be added to the
Plant Legend.
ELEVATIONS:
1. Need to provide a color board at the April 3rd.
Electronic copies of colored elevations are also
reccommended.
