HISTORY:
The Freeport North Addition was platted in 1984. It consists of
approximately 237 acres. There have been several replats on this
property as there is unprecedented industrial growth in the area. On
November 10, 1998, Council approved a Site Plan and Replat of the
Freeport North Addition, Lot 1, Block 3. This Replat was never
filed for record and expired. The Site Plan expired after two years.
Within the previous submittal, a variance was granted for a median
opening on Royal Lane. It was 45' short of the required 420'
separation requirement. This was approved as a north bound left-
mm only and was contingent on final design approval by the
Engineering Department.
TRANSPORTATION:
Royal Lane is designated as a C4D/6 four-lane divided collector built
to standard in a 100' right-of-way capable of accommodating a six-
lane divided thoroughfare. Creekview is a C2U two-lane undivided
collector built to standard within a 60' wide right-of-way.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
DISCUSSION:
Page 2 of 3
The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable for light industrial/showroom uses.
This is a 12.14 acre replat of a portion of the Freeport North property. The
submitted Site Plan shows the layout of a 167,000 square-foot
office/warehouse for the proposed use. The plat is a legal definition of the
property showing existing and proposed dimensions of property lines,
surrounding property owners, property acreages and locations of
easements. The plat shows the flood plain of Cottonwood Branch with an
existing 150' drainage easement covering the majority of the flood plain.
The fire lane easement will be accepted as shown on the plat. This
easement encircles the building off three ingress/egress points. There is a
15' electric easement proposed along the western property line. A 100'
extension off this easement will lead to a transformer pad to service the
building. The length of this easement might need to be extended to reach
Item # 12
the transformer pad shown on the Site Plan. The surveyor will need to
coordinate with the electric provider to ensure all public lines are covered
with an easement. There are 20'x20' water easements on both the
northeast and southwest comers of the property to allow for water meters
to be mad and to provide for the transition between public and private
utilities. The plat is in accordance with the City of Coppell Subdivision
Ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNiNG AND ZONiNG COMMISSION:
The Planning staff recommends APPROVAL of the Replat, subject to the following
conditions being met:
1) Ensure all public utilities are covered with an easement as depicted on
the approved Site Plan. Please coordinate with the a~chitect and utility
providers.
2) Additional easements may be required after further engineering review.
3) Please list all miscellaneous notes in a common location (i.e. sidewalk,
flood plain, beating system, etc...).
4) Correct Comcast contact information to state Juan Zapata at (214) 320-
7404.
