Denton Tap Road is a P6D divided major arterial built to standard in
a 150' fight-of-way. State Highway 121 is designated as a freeway
within the Thoroughfare Plan. It is currently being built as a 140'
six-lane divided freeway facility within a 450' right-of-way.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable for regional retail uses.
DISCUSSION:
The submitted Site Plan shows the layout of an 8,288 square-foot office on
1.16 (+/-) acres of property. This lot is located approximately 1,134' west
of Denton Tap Road, and is part of a larger seven-lot commercial/retail
subdivision, currently being preliminary platted.
TxDOT has approved an ingress/egress point with a future deceleration lane
along State Highway 121 on the east side of this property. There is a fire
lane and a common access easement shown extending north/south on the
east side of the structure and east/west on both the north and south sides of
the building. These are to be extended with future development. The fire
lane meets the City of Coppell's minimum width (24') and minimum
distance from the building (150') requirements. The northern boundary of
the property is to be screened with a 6'-solid masonry fence behind which
will be a 1 O'-wide landscape area. The applicant has agreed to contribute
an additional $7,070 (the difference between providing a 6'- and an 8'-
solid masonry wall) towards the landscape screening in this area. This sets
the precedence for the same contribution towards landscaping to be
required upon development of the other lots of this larger development.
The masonry wall meets the Zoning Ordinance requirement and the will
need to be built abutting the northern property line.
The parking ratio of 1 space per 300 square feet of building area is
applicable to this office use. The applicant has provided 34 spaces,
exceeding the minimum parking requirement of 28. Parking is shown on the
north, south and east sides with a 5' sidewalk encircling the building. There
are two fire hydrants and a fire department connection (FDC) shown on the
Site Plan. The fire system will be further evaluated during the engineering
review.

Item # 13
The building has two doors on each elevation with the entry feature facing
south toward SH 121. The materials to be used consist of a brownish red
brick veneer on each elevation with stone on the bottom 2'-3' of the front
and side elevations. The wood columns on the front (south elevation) are to
be painted an off-white color. Each elevation is shown with stone quoins
except the side elevations adjacent to the rear. These will also be an oft'-
white color. Dark navy blue awnings are proposed above each window.
There are carriage lights at each door and "up-lights on extension arms"
along the bottom of each elevation (The rear, or north elevation, only has
one on each comer to reduce li~t associated with commercial uses). A
monument sign elevation is shown with the signage criteria listed below.
The location is depicted on the Site Plan as 10' from the southern property
line and 105' from the eastern property line. This will need to be changed to
15' from the southern property line, per the monument sign setback
requirement of the Zoning Ordinance. The 6'-solid masonry wall is shown
on the Elevations. This will need to have columns every 20'.
All trees in the Landscape Plan are compatible with the plant palette within
the Zoning Ordinance. There are five 3" caliper Shumard Oaks planned
along the northem boundary that meet the screening requirement (adjacent
to residential) of one tree per 40 linear feet. The east, west and south
boundaries have the normal perimeter tree requirement of one per 50-linear
feet. The eastern landscaping consists of five 3" caliper Cedar Elms and
three 3" caliper Live Oaks. There are four 3" caliper Shumard Oaks along
the southern boundary. The westem boundary has five 3" caliper Cedar
Elms and two 3" caliper Live Oaks. There are four additional Live Oaks
interior to the site adjacent to the building. There are additional plants all
contained within the Landscaping Plan and outlined within the Plant list.
