In 1999, a Site Plan An~endment was approved which permitted the construction of a 47-s~ace parking lot just north of the Justice Center site to be jointly usqd by the Coppell Justice Center and the YMCA. In 2001, a Site Plan Amendment was approved Page 1 of 3 Item # 8 TRANSPORTATION: which allowed for a 775-square-foot addition and a 734-square-foot covered patio to the Coppell Justice Center. Parkway Boulevard is a developed G4D, four-lane divided collector in an 88'-wide right-of-way. The right-of-way of Town Center Boulevard along the frontage of the proposed Fire Station #3 expansion is 66'-wide with 66'-wide pavement width (including a 16'-wide median).

DISCUSSION: Page 2 of 3 This request is to amend the existing Site ,Plan to allow for the expansion of Fire Station #3. As indicated on the Site Plan, the 3,546-square-foot expansion area is on the south side of tl~e existing building. This will house a state-of-the-art conference/t~aining facility capable of accommodating 80-100 people. An additional parking lot (30 spaces) is shown on the plans to mirror the existing l~arking lot, meeting the parking requirement of 20-25 spaces (1 space per4 seats). It will also serve the Justice Center, Town Center building and the proposed Plaza area. The building materials on this expansion Will match the existing building, including red and reddish brown brick an~t buff color CMU veneer. An attached sign with 8" brushed aluminum le!tering is proposed to read "City of Coppell Training Center." The 14-s~uare-foot sign will match the existing signage along Town Center Boulevard and will not exceed the maximum area allowed. The Landscaping Plan will be modified in places where building renovation/expansion or parking is proposed. Trees will be provided at the end of each parking row and adjaceht to the proposed conference center. The mechanical equipment will be iscreened with a 4'-tall hedge of Nellie R. Stevens Holly.
