No comments made. No Comments received 1. The proposed driveway exiting onto SH 121 will need approval from TxDOT. 2. A drainage easement indicated on the west side of the property on the site plan is not shown on the plat and does not seem to be necessary. See additional comments on the plat for this case. - Relocate fire lane easement on S side of building out of the 'collapse zone'. Move to the other aisle. - Relocate fire hydrants on S side to correspond to the new fire lane location. - Indicate turning radii for fire lane - 30' inside, 54' outside - Indicate fire department connection (FDC) location. FDC must be detached from building, within 50' of a fire hydrant, on same side of the street/fire lane as the fire hydrant. Preliminary Water and Wastewater - Three (3) separate water feeds to the building are not necessary. - "New 8~inch Fire Service" on W side will have to be hydraulically calculated...may need to provide 12-inch service from State Hwy. 121 to the New Fire Service, then reduce to 8-inch. - Connect the 8-inch water lines on the S side of building. CO??ELL Agency Parks and Recreation Planning Department Reviewed By John Elias Marcie Diamond CITY OF COPPELL DRC REPORT Review Date 4/28/04 COPPELL Comments 1) A tree removal permit will be required prior to removal of any protected trees on this site. 2) Tree mitigation tabulations on sheet L1.00 are incorrect. 3) Tree survey is incorrect: -tree # 305 is not a protected tree. -tree # 384,385,386,387,388,389,390,391,392,393,394,402,40 3,404,405, &406 are not on this property and should not appear on the tree survey, or figure into the tree mitigation process. -tree # 66,196,197,198,200,201,239,240,242,243,255,331,332, 340, & 348 must be identified on the tree survey to determine if they are a protected tree. 4) Spacing of the trees in the parking lot islands on the East & West side of the building is too tight. Overstory trees need a minimum spacing of 20'. Need to eliminate (1) tree per island. 5) Spacing of eastern red cedars on the West side of the parking lot is too tight. Minimum spacing for eastern red cedar is 15', not 10'. Recommend breaking up the continuous row of eastern red cedar by mixing in other screening materials such as wax myrtle or nellie r. stevens hollies. It will be extremely difficult to maintain a continuous row of 150+ trees without having gaps down the road. Eastern red cedar is not sold by the caliper inch in the numery industry, it's sold by the height of the tree. If the eastern red cedars are mitigated, each one wil~ need to be field measured to assure that they are 3" DBH. The cost of these trees will be very high. It will be difficult to get this size eastern red cedar to get established. 6) Should consider using 6" caliper trees on this project to offset having to write such a large check for tree mitigation. The Staples development just South of this project installed all 6" DBH trees to get tree retribution numbers to a more managable cost. 4~7~4 Site Plan 1. Add dimensions to all property lines. 2. Add and correctly label ail easements as shown on the plat. There are inconsistencies with the locations and types of easements along western and southern property lines. 3. Extend the screening walls perpendicular to loading area thru the landscape area, to the fire lane. 4. There are islands in the parking lots which are substandard in size. 5. Add a note to the site plan that all future parking areas will meet all the requirements of the landscape ordinance. 6. Need to provide a separate document establihsing the proposed mutual access along the east side of the property. 7. If a monument sign is proposed, then location, size, materials, etc. need to be indicated. 8. Vicinity Map - the street to the north of the subject property is Canyon Drive not Corporate Park. COl'FELL Agency Reviewed By CITY OF COPPELL DRC REPORT Review Date Comments COPPELL Landscape Plan 1. The PLANT LIST indicates 454 trees being provided on site: 171 - 4" caliper and 183 - 3" caliper for a total of 454 trees, however in the LANDSCAPE TABULATIONS, under SUMMARY indicates 271 - 3" required and 271 - 4" trees provided, need to include the additional 183-3" caliper trees being provided so that the totals will match, 2. Along the western property line the 116 trees are labeled as CE, but the symbol is for ERC - it is assumed that the symbol is correct and the label incorrect. 3. The landscaped area east of the western property line is labeled as ERC, - and the symbol is for CE, again, it is assumed that the symbol is correct and the label is incorrect. 4. Per Sec. 12-34-8. Minimum requirements for off-street parking and vehicular use areas; All off-street parking, loading and vehicular use areas, including driveway pavement, shall also be screened from all abutting properties and/or public rights-of-way by a wall, fence, hedge, berm or other durable landscape barrier. This barrier is not indicated on the north, east or west prepert¥ lines. 5. Review the labeling and the tree symbols along the Sandy Lake frontage, there appears to be inconsistencies, including but not limited to a random 3- LO note. 6. Show location of monument sign, if any. 7. Indicate existing and proposed easements. 8. Add a note to the site plan that all future parking areas will meet all the requirements of the landscape ordinance. ELEVATIONS 1. This site is currently extremely visible from north and southbound S.H. 121 and will always be visible from Sandy Lake Road. This building is proposed to have 540 feet of frontage on Sandy Lake, and 53-55 dock doors within 1120 linear feet along the east and west elevations. The view of this building will be somewhat obscured by the existing and proposed trees, however, compliance with the following provision of the Light Industrial District regulation must be demonstrated. "Where walls exceed 100 feet in length, additional architectural accents must be included to break up the expanse of the wall. These may include items such as reveals, windows, and wall articulations, among others". 2. Submit a color board at the DRC meeting, color renderings may also be helpful. 3. Correct leader line to clearstory windows.
