The subject property is part of Lot 3, Block G, a 49.20-acre tract
within the Vista Ridge Addition. Ttle property lies within Denton
County and was originally part of the City of Lewisville when
recorded in September of 1986. :Since that time, the City of
Coppell has annexed this and other portions of the Vista Ridge
Business Park.

Item # 4
TRANSPORTATION:
In September 1999, a request for a PD for a gas station,
convenience store and car wash on 1.5 acres at the southwest
corner of S.H. 121 and MacArthur! Boulevard was recommended
for denial by staff. Due to this ~ecommendation, the applicant
requested a postponement until December of that year to allow for
a redesign of the site plan and elevations to address staff design
concerns, but staff still strongly opposed the use at this location.
On December 16, 1999, the Planning and Zoning Commission
recommended denial of this request, and it was not appealed to
Council.
In September 2001, Council approved a Site Plan and Final Plat to
allow for the construction of a one-~tory, 71,000-square-foot office
building on seven acres of this 26~acre parcel of land. The Site
Plan would have expired on September 11, 2003; however, on
September 9, 2003, Council approved a six-month extension. The
approved Site Plan expired in March 2004.
On April 13, 2004, Council overrul~d staff's and the Planning and
Zoning Commission's recommendation for denial and approved a
Concept Planned Development tO allow the construction of
210,000-square feet of office/war0house/assembly buildings and
five retail pad sites. In August 200g, Council approved the Detail
Plan for the first phase of this development, consisting of three
buildings, totaling 93,550-square feet. This first phase of
development is currently under construction.
Also approved in April of last year was S-1211 for a gas station
and car repair on Lot 4 of this I~D. This Special Use Permit
expired in October of last year, and resubmission of this SUP is
expected to be considered by the planning and Zoning Commission
next month.
S.H. 121 is under construction to freeway standards with access
roads, within 450 feet of right-of-way. MacArthur Blvd., adjacent
to this property, is a six-lane divided thoroughfare in the City of
Lewisville.

DISCUSSION:
As discussed in the HISTORY section, this property was zoned in April of
last year as part of a PD for Highway Commercial uses. This request is to
amend the PD to attach a Detail Site Plan to allow the construction of a
5,580-square~foot bank facility with five drive-through lanes, with
sufficient service/queuing area for a total of 30 cars. There will be 27
parking spaces, which exceeds the office ratio of one space per 300-square
feet of floor area by eight spaces. The bnilding is oriented at an angle
toward the northeast corner of the site, providing for an aesthetic entry
feature with plaza, stone wall, planter and flhgpole.
The Landscape Plan is in compliance with the provisions of the PD, which
allows, in part, for variances to the 10 feet 6f perimeter landscape required
adjacent to the internal lot lines. This plan, however, exceeds the
expectations of the Concept Plan in terms Of exceeding all other levels of
landscaping, as well as preserving matUre trees along MacArthur
Boulevard. The Concept Plan indicated ~at all but three of the trees
would be removed from this site. This proposed Landscape Plan includes
a 40+ foot-wide landscape buffer along MacArthur Blvd., allowing for
the preservation of seven trees (a total of 72-caliper inches of Live Oak
and Cedar Elm trees), while only removing two Cedar Elms to allow for
driveways into the property. One minor revision is needed to the
Landscape Plan, that being the screening of a 10'xl0' power transformer
pad proposed along the western property line. The applicant revised the
plans to indicate large shrubs; however, the plant material selected (Red
Tip Photinla) is not on our Plant Palette. A shrub from our plant list will
need to be substituted.
This property will be accessed from two mt~tual access (shared) driveways
from MacArthur Blvd. The Coppell/LewiSville mutual city limit line is
located along the western right-of-way li~e of MacArthur Blvd.; and
therefore, the City of Lewisville has fma! authority on the design and
location of the deceleration lanes within their rights-of-way. It is staff's
understanding that the City of Lewisville haS yet to approve these designs.
(This is actually an outstanding condition frOm the original PD approved a
year ago).
A related issue is the location of the southern driveway in relation to Lake
Vista Drive, which is also in the City of Lewisville. As noted in the
aUached comments from the Engineering Department, this proposed
Item # 4
Page 3 of 5
driveway is slightly offset from Lake Vista Drive. Because of safety
considerations, it is recommended that this driveway align with Lake Vista
Drive.
A companion request is the replatting of thhs lot to relocate the north/south
fire lane from behind the building to the front of the building to allow for
the drive-through facility in the rear. TO assure that all parts of the
building, including the drive-through lanes, are within 150 feet of a fire
lane, either the fire lane proposed (and platted) on Lot 2, adjacent to this
site, needs to be constructed, or a hammer-head (mm-mound) will be
required on the northern fire lane into the Service Star lot, as shown on the
Site Plan. Given that both of these fire lalaes have been included as fire
lane easements on the Final Plat for this property, the paving of either,
prior to the Certificate of Occupancy being issued for the bank, will be
required.
The Concept Plan for this PD also included concept elevations and
preliminary building material selection for this entire 19-acre property.
The intent was to utilize the same color and material palette on the entire
project so that this property would appear to be a master planned area.
However, the industrial nature of the developments on Lots 1 and 2
required approval of certain elements of the building (i.e., flat rooflines,
metal canopies, light colored brick and stone to be compatible with the
tilt-wall, etc.), which are normally not appropriate for retail
developments. The building materials proposed for this bank are more
retail in nature. There is a combination of two types of lime stone
veneers, Leuders Limestone as the main building material, and a West
Texas Limestone as an accent material for the columns. The slate gray
standing seam metal roof will also be a predominate feature of this
building and will be extended to cover the drive-through facility. These
materials are darker in nature and are much more attractive than the
"hot" colors of the warehouse buildings. It is expected that the
remaining retail lots along MacArthur Blvd. will have similar materials
and architectural characteristics of this first retail building, instead of the
industrial materials of the buildings west of this project.
