HISTORY:
In May 2000, Council approved PD-185-LI to allow for the
development of two office/warehouse buildings on approximately
100 acres of property. Phase One of this development was
proposed to contain a 600,000 square-foot building with a 350,000
square-foot future expansion area. Phase Two anticipated a
900,000 square-foot building. This PD included various conditions
including: a reduction in the required parking for warehouse uses,
tree mitigation and allowing for a single 120 square-foot monument
sign, in lieu of two 60 square-foot signs. Council also approved a
Preliminary Plat for the entire acreage and a Final Plat to allow for
Phase One construction.
Since that time, staff has administratively approved a revision to
the site plan to allow for 50 additional parking spaces along Bethel
Road, east of Royal Lane to serve the 150 Mohawk employees.
TRANSPORTATION:
Bethel Road is currently a two-lane asphalt road; however, it is
designated on the Thoroughfare Plan as a C4D to be built within
90' to 100' R-O-W. Construction documents are currently being
prepared to improve this road to a 4-lane divided concrete
thoroughfare. Improvements are scheduled to start in the second
quarter of 2004 and be completed in the third quarter of 2005.

Item# 7
DISCUSSION:
As mentioned in the HISTORY section, this entire tract was preliminary
platted into two lots, and a Final Plat for the first phase of development
was approved at that time. This request is to replat Lot 1 into LotlR,
incorporating the additional 14.98 acres of property to allow for the
expansion of the Building 1, and to final plat the remaining 53.48 acres
to allow for the construction of the second building.
The replat of Lot 1 will involve the abandonment of an existing platted
fire lane and landscape easement, which will be relocated to the north
side of the expanded building area. The common access easements and
adjacent 10-foot landscape easements have also been expanded to serve
both buildings in their ultimate configurations.
Along the eastern side of this plat, there is an existing 8.47-acre landscape
and detention easement, which was established through a private
agreement between Champion and Duke-Weeks on December 22, 2000.
Therefore, this 8.47-acre drainage and detention easement and the
proposed 20-foot easement running parallel to Bethel Road are not
required and need to be removed from the Plat. These easement areas will
continue to be privately maintained per the existing agreement. The
notations on the plat are still stating that these easements are to be
"dedicated by this plat". So there is no confusion in the future as to
the maintenance responsibility for these drainage areas, staff is
recommending that these notes be revised from "dedicated by this
plat" to "as established by private agreement."
The construction documents for the improvements to Bethel Road are
currently under design. An additional .047 of an acre of property is
needed for additional R-O-W at the southwest corner of the tract, which
is being dedicated by this Plat. The Engineering Department is also
coordinating with the owners of this tract to provide for temporary
easements needed for the construction of Bethel Road.
R~COMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of Coppell Industrial Addition
(Tradepoint), Lots 1R and 2, Block A, Replat & Final Plat, subject to the
following conditions:
~.~.~A TM *~,~ ~5. .~v~ a:r~g. (corrected)
2) Deletion of the proposed dedication of the 8.47-acre drainage
and detention easement along the eastern property line and the
proposed 20-foot easement running parallel to Bethel Road.
