Comments
1. Site plan does not include any intedor floor plan
information to provide basis for review, no comments
noted.
Please contact Jeff Curry at 972-570-4126 to discuss
electric service requirements.
1. Verify driveway spacing and locations along the S.H.
121 frontage road with TxDOT.
2. Minimize the number of taps made into the water
main for the domestic and irrigation water services. It
may be possible to make a single tap in some locations
and branch out to adjacent buildings.
3. Verify fire hydrant spacing, FDC locations, and fire
line requirements with the fire department.
4. Indicate which utilities will be installed with which
phases of the development.
5. It appears that the northern driveway onto MacArthur
is in conflict with an existing curb inlet. The driveway
curb return cannot begin at the back of the inlet.
6. Stamped concrete paver bands are required at the
driveway approaches.
7. Proposed storm drainage systems will need to be
submitted in the future. If the system in MacArthur Blvd.
was not designed for a 100-year storm, it may be
necessary to provide on-site detention. Please verify.
8. A deceleration lane is required on MacArthur and
may be required on S.H. 121. Verify with TxDOT.
9. Eliminate the public on-site fire hydrant from S.H.
121. Bring the fire hydrant off of the private fire line.
1. All Fire Lane radii 30' inside lad/54' outside radius
2. Contact FD to verify Fire Hydrant spacing, FDC
locations and fire line requirements
3. Add'l Fire access needed. COntact FD
4. Ref Tract 4 for add'l comments
5. Bldgs over 5000 s.f. require auto fire sprinkler
systems.

1. Tree mitigation shown on plan is unacceptable.
2. Tree mitigation will be the following:
Gross Retribution (trees removed)
1354"DBH
Preservation Credit
-283"DBH
Landscape Credit
-891"DBH
Net Retribution
233"DBH x $100
Contribution in the amount of $23,300 to the City of
Coppell Reforestation and Natural Areas Fund will be
required.
3. Might want to consider Up-Sizing trees from 3" to 4"
to off set retribution fees.

Overall Comment:
This prepert¥ is zoned HC which only permits limited
(max. 20%) warehousing, and only by SUP. The site
plan approved for this tract 2 years ago was for an 100%
office This Concept Plan indicates approximately 50%
warehousing including overhead doors and a
significant amount of loading areas, adjacent to
residential. The City has been proactive over the past
year in rezoning properties along S.H. 121 from Light
Industrial to Highway Commercial to encourage
retail/office and commercial uses and prohibit tilt wall
industrial/warehousing along our gateway areas and
adjacent to developed residential areas. This product,
with 50% warehouse, is more appropriate in the
established light industrial areas in the west side of
Coppell. That being said, the following are technical
issues also need to be addressed:
Site Plan:
1. The proposed loading areas are facing, and in close
proximity, to the single family homes. The site plan
needs to be revised to limit the loading areas to being
internal to the site, so as not to impact the adjacent
residential or be visible from S.H. 121 or MacArthur
Blvd.
2. The dumpster area between building 1 and 3 needs
to be relocated away from the residential, and not being
visible from dedicated rights-of-way.
3. A minimum 6-foot, solid, masonry, screening wall
needs to be provided along the southern property line
adjacent to the residential district, it is also
recommended that the required wall be extended along
Forest Hill Drive to provide a visual buffer to the
residential to the south. Elevations of this wall,
including color, materials and height need to be
provided. Also, need to include the timing of the
construction of this wall in relation to the phased
development. It is recommended that the entire wall be
constructed with the first phase of development.
4. Parking spaces are required to be a minimum of 9' x
19'.

Comments
5. Need to indicate Phase lines and Tract lines between
Tracts 1 and 2.
6. There are several random easement notes with
either no arrows, or arrows which point to the wrong
details.
7. Need to more clearly indicate the existing and
proposed easements in relation to the property lines.
8. Must determine how these easements along the
perimeter of the property will effect the proposed
landscaping.
9. Monument signs must be setback 15 feet from
property lines adjacent to the street, and 75 feet from
common property lines.
10. Need to provide information about site, parking lot
and building lighting, especially adjacent to the
residential.
11. Provide dumpster locations on retail tracts.
12. Understanding that this is a Concept Plan additional
note needs to be added to the plan which indicates that
prior to any development on this tract, Detail Site Plan
approval will be required for each building and that all
restaurants and some types of retail will require
approval of an SUP.
13. It is reccomended that a maximum of two driveways
be permitted along Forest Hill Drive.
Conceptual Landscape Plan:
1. Must determine how existing and proposed utility
easements along the perimeter of the property will effect
the propose landscaping.
2. Need to indicate the required screening wall along
the southern property line.
3. Due to the residential adjacency, trees are required at
a ratio of one tree per 40 feet along the southern
property line. It is recommended that a mixture of
evergreen and overstory trees be planted along this
property line.
4. Building landscaping should be provided in front
Building 1, similar to Buildings 2 and 5.
5. If specific variances to the Landscape Ordinance are
being requested (i.e. elimination of the 10 feet of
landscaping along common property lines for the retail
pads) then it must be specifically stated as such.
Tree Survey:
1. It appears that increasing the landscape setback
along MacArthur Blvd. by approximately 20 feet could
preserve a significant amount of 10-12 inch caliper
Cedar Elms and Live Oak trees.
Elevations:
1. Need to provide the percentage of stone/bricldtilt wall
per fagade of each building.
1. Need to specifically state the color, materials,
manufacture's specs, etc. for all materials indicated on
the elevations, including the color of the overhead
doors, awnings, etc.
2. Need to provide detail elevations, including color,
height, materials, of the required screening walls.
3. Need to provide general signage criteria for all tracts

within this PD, including attached and monument signs,
size, color, font, light source, etc.
4. Need to provide color board at the December 4th
DRC meeting.
5. Color renderings of the project would also be helpful.

1. Site plan does not include any interior floor plan
information to provide basis for review, no comments noted.
Please contact Jeff Curry at 972-570-4126 to discuss
electric service requirements.
1. Driveway spacing and locations along the S.H 121
frontage road must be approved and permitted by TxDOT.
2. Utility information and phasing will be further addressed
during engineering review.
3. Based on the proposed use of Tract 4, a
deceleration/right-turn lane is required on MacArthur Blvd.
at the norlhmost driveway. It appears that there is adequate
space to allow for approximately 100' of transition and 75' of
vehicle storage. This may require the dedication of
additional right-of-way, the removal of some trees, and the
reconstruction of a storm sewer inlet.
4. Additional easements and utilities may be deemed
necessary during engineering review.
