ITEM 7
Page 2 of 4
DISCUSSION:
As noted above, these school facilities were constructed approximately 30 years ago and
have not had significant changes to the exterior of the building or the athletic facilities since
that time. However, earlier this year, CISD improved the field with artificial turf, added
new goal posts and resurfaced the track. As part of that improvement project, the existing
chain link fence was replaced with an 8’ ornamental fence encircling the track and field.
The second phase of this project will be to provide additional parking, bleachers, press box,
concession/restroom facility and field lighting like Coppell Middle School North and West.
Similar to the other two middle school fields, it is anticipated that the City of Coppell will
partner with the School District to allow for a joint use of the fields for youth sports such
as football, soccer and lacrosse. The proposed Interlocal Agreement for CMSE was
discussed at a City Council work session in April, and the formal agreement is tentatively
scheduled to be considered in conjunction with this PD Zoning at City Council on January
9, 2018.
Bleachers/Press Box
The site plan indicates one set of bleachers, 140 feet wide, with 11 rows, and a height of
11.5 feet. These bleachers are proposed to be located along the west side of the track, facing
east, approximately 330 feet from the property line. On top of the bleachers will be a 74-
square foot, 9-foot tall press box with balcony surrounded by a 4-foot chain link fence with
a guard rail. The speaker system for this facility will be placed on the east side of the field
and will be attached to the new light poles. The speakers will be facing west, away from
the existing homes.
Concession/Restroom Building
Just south of the track, a 1,620-square foot concession stand/restroom facility is proposed.
This structure will be bricked to match the main buildings, with entrances on the south side
facing the track. The 8-foot tall ornamental fencing will also encircle this structure with
gates on the north and south sides. There are several drafting issues with this exhibit (brick
colors not defined, elevation directions not correct, etc.) which will need to be addressed.
The property will need to be graded to assure that the access to this building is ADA
complaint.
Parking
Between the existing parking lot and the tennis courts, a 46-space parking lot is proposed
along Falcon Lane. The existing open drainage area will be filled and underground
drainage system installed to accommodate this parking area. There will not be additional
lighting of these parking spaces. Staff is recommending that three parking spaces closest
to Falcon Lane be eliminated. This would provide a slightly larger buffer from the
residential as well as to comply with the Landscape Regulations which permit a maximum
of 15 parking spaces between landscape islands (there are 18 spaces in this row). A
landscaped hedgerow is required to buffer this parking area from Falcon Lane.

Lighting
The final changes to this athletic field is the inclusion of lighting to allow for usage after
dark. CISD does not anticipate activities extending past 9:00 in the evening, and the city’s
use of the field generally should not extend past that same time frame.
Although these four light poles (two on each side of the field) are 70 feet tall, the LED type
fixtures are designed so that there will not be spillover lighting into the abutting homes, to
be complaint with the City’s Glare and Lighting Standards of the Zoning Ordinance. This
provision, in part, regulates that the allowable maximum intensity measured at the property
line of a residential use in a residential district shall be 0.25 foot candles. The Photometric
Study submitted with this request indicates compliance with this ordinance. Once installed,
staff will measure the intensity of light along the east, north and southern property lines.
Finally, the Glare and Lighting Standards also regulate the following:
“Any use shall be operated so as not to produce obnoxious and intense glare or
direct illumination across the bounding property line from a visible source of
illumination of such intensity as to create a nuisance or detract from the use or
enjoyment of adjacent property. All outside lights shall be made up of a light source
and reflector so selected that acting together the light beam is controlled and not
directed across any bounding property line above a height of three feet”
Consideration may need to be given to additional shielding to insure compliance with this
regulation.
In summary, these improvements will enhance the amenities at this athletic facility to be
comparable with the other middle schools in Coppell.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of PD-292-SF-12, Coppell Middle School East subject to the following
conditions:
1. Additional comments will be generated at the time detail engineering review of the grading, drainage,
utility and paving plans.
2. Sheet C-6 being revised to define brick colors, correct the elevation directions, etc.
3. Insuring access to the concession/restroom facility are ADA complaint.
4. Revising the proposed parking lot layout to reduce the number of spaces on the south side to 15, and
including a landscape buffer/hedgerow parallel to Falcon Lane.
5. Correct the height of the light fixtures to 70’ on Sheets C-3 and C3a to reflect the height as specified on
the Photometric Study.
6. Correct the size of the concession/restroom facility in the table on Sheets C-3, C-3a and C-3b.
7. Include the location, size, height, etc. of the electronic score board.
